Subject: Park Referendum Project Planning
Issues for Discussion
• Progress report on projects approved in the 2005 referendum
• Status of Park Improvement Fund projects proposed in the CIP
and funded by cash park fees
• Other projects for consideration
2005 Referendum Projects
A. Community Center Addition - referendum amount$6,650,000
Status:At the June 5 Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission meeting and the
June 6 City Council meeting staff will provide a concept plan that that meets the building
program as defined by the general public at public meetings,Community Center members,
Community Center users such as the School District, Hockey Association, Figure Skating Club,
Foxjets Swim Club,the recreation staff that program the building, and the administration and
maintenance staff that take care of the building. This program has been somewhat expanded
from the program defined in the referendum by the following recommendations:
1. Staff are recommending that the Recreation Division Manager and four program staff be
officed at the Community Center. Staff eliminated the position of the Community
Center Manager several years ago and the Recreation Division Manager has assumed the
responsibility of managing that facility from the City Hall.This has caused problems in
communication within the department.The Community Center is clearly the focal point
for the recreation programs within the City of Eden Prairie. It is where most people
come to register for all City recreation programs and is the largest program facility
within the City. The most efficient and effective use of the existing staff is to allow them
to be officed at this site,where they can support one another and provide prompt service
to residents as well as support for the operation of that facility.
2. A second change to the program is to provide child care at the Community Center.In all
of our discussions with both public and private community centers and athletic clubs,
the key to expanding membership is to make it easy for young families to use the
Park Referendum Project Planning
May 16,2006
Page 2
facilities. A critical component to maintaining and expanding memberships is to provide
child care for people who are using the facility.
3. The third expansion of the program is the large community meeting room.This facility
greatly expands the program capability of the building and meets a high demand need by
the public for additional meeting spaces and rooms large enough to accommodate
gatherings of 50-75 people, and active youth programs that don't require a gym.
City staff believe that these expanded program recommendations are critical to providing the
citizens of Eden Prairie with a facility that is comparable to other community center that are
being developed in Minnesota today and meets the needs and expectations of our residents. Staff
recommends that the City Council plan for funding these expanded building costs through the
use of park dedication fees. Staff expects that these additional program areas may cost as much
as$1,000,000 above the $6,650,000 budgeted through the referendum. As previously stated,staff
will have a concept plan for the Council review at the June 6 meeting. At that time, staff will
have an estimated cost for the draft concept plan.
A. The Referendum provided$4,695,000 for the acquisition of additional park land and
improvements to existing parks.
Projects that have been initiated to date to are as follows:
1. Birch Island Woods Acquisition -The City Council has authorized staff to purchase
Birch Island Woods for$830,000 from the Picha family.The delay on this purchase is
being caused due to the bureaucratic process that is required to utilize this purchase in
LAWCON conversion of the Cummins-Grill property.The State Historical Society,the
National Park Service and the Department of Natural Resources all have to agree on the
conversion proposal.The City is waiting for the National Park Service to set up a
meeting with all of the agencies involved to discuss this conversion.
2. New Playgrounds -The City Council has authorized bids for new playgrounds at
Edgewood Park,Edenvale Park, Sterling Field and Topview Park and part of Forest Hills.
Playgrounds at Carmel Park and Rustic Hills Park will be constructed in 2007.
3. The Council will be authorizing tennis court renovation at Prairie East Park and
Homeward Hills Park later this evening. Carmel Park courts will also be done in 2006,
while tennis court renovation at Eden Valley Park and Rustic Hills Park will be
completed in 2007.

4. The Council has approved the concept plan for the renovation of Forest Hills Park and
Edenvale Park. Final plans and specifications are being prepared for those projects at this
time.Those projects will go out for bid late in 2006 and be approved in early 2007 for
completion in 2007.
5. The permanent park shelter at Prairie View Park will also be constructed in 2007.
6. The expansion of Flying Cloud Athletic Fields remains on hold as the City waits for
approval from the FAA on the agreement between the Metropolitan Airports
Commission and the City of Eden Prairie.
Estimated costs for the above improvements is$4,695,000.
C. $2,000,000 was approved for trail construction.
The City Council has authorized the development for plans and specifications for the trail on
east and west side of County Road 4,extending north to the trail on the south side Crosstown
Highway. Plans and specifications for this project should be completed later this year, at which
time the City will apply for matching grant funds from the County for these projects.The
decision on the grant approval may delay the initial construction of these trails until later in
2007.
City staff is working with the Planning Department in the development of the downtown area
and will be making recommendations on the completion of the sidewalk system within the
downtown area that will not be disrupted by proposed new street alignments.These projects will
begin in 2007 and continue for the next several years.
Staff does not have a cost estimate for these projects at this time.
Park Improvement Fund Projects
There is a fund balance of approximately$6,100,000 in the park fund. City staff estimate revenue
of approximately$500,000 per year over the next five years within the park fund.
Of the existing fund balance,the following projects are committed:
1. Acquisition of Cedar Hills Neighborhood Park-through the Metropolitan Airports
Commission Agreement- $913,000
2. Community Center third rink- $1,000,000
3. Renovation of ballfields at Miller Park over the next four years- $1,000,000

4. Relocation of the baseball field at Round Lake Park,lighting that baseball field and
renovation of the parking lot at the Community Center -preliminary estimated costs
$500,000
5. PCRA Boardwalk/ Pier- $90,000
6. PCRA Wildlife Blind- $25,000
7. Eden Lake Park drainage improvement- $35,000
8. Staring Lake slide replacement- $20,000
9. Creek Valley nature trail projects in Riley Creek and Upper and Lower Purgatory Creek
- estimated cost over the next four years approximately$500,000 to$700,000
10. Cedar Hills Park development- $850,000
11. Park signs for entire park system- $250,000
Total Estimated Costs= $5,383,000
Additional Park Improvement Projects that have been considered in a draft CIP are:
1. Miller Park Football/Soccer Building-estimated cost$250,000
2. Birch Island Park development- $500,000 (no park plan developed as yet)
3. Trail Improvement Projects including the Staring Lake outlet and trail - $100,000,the
River View Road loop trail project that should be considered within the next five years-
$500,000 (This project is subject to approval of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and
may not happen in the near future.)
Total Costs = $1,350,000
These existing commitments and proposed projects total approximately$6.6 million over the
next four to five ears. There will be additional smaller projects that will be requested each year;
y P J
however,these major projects should be kept as the highest priorities for funding consideration.
Other Projects for Consideration
Earlier this year the City Council authorized completing a feasibility study for a wading pool
improvement at the Community Center at the June 5 meeting of the Parks, Recreation and
Natural Resources Commission and the June 6 meeting of the City Council, staff will provide a
report indicating the cost for funding a wading pool expansion at the Community Center.The
City Council should keep in mind the existing priorities for park improvements while
considering the proposal for funding the Community Center improvements and possibly the
wading pool improvements.As staff has indicated there was a$6,100,000 fund balance in the
park fund at the beginning of 2006. Staff anticipates approximately another$2,500,000 in
revenue over the next five years;therefore,the maximum amount of funds available for these
major park improvements from the cash park fees will total approximately$8,500,000 over the
Park Referendum Project Planning
May 16, 2006
Page 5
next five years.
If the Council approves approximately one million in Community Center expanded program
improvements,the total expected expenditures would be approximately$7,880,000 out of the
projected$8,500,000 available prior to approving any funding for wading pool improvements.
The purpose of this meeting was to provide the Council with an overview of where we are with
projects approved in the 2005 referendum, as well as projects planned for in the CIP that is
fees.With this background,and"big picture"view of the funding
funded b the ark dedication �

sources available,the Council will hopefully feel more comfortable in making decision that will
be posed to the Council relating to park improvement projects over the next few months.

Recipient Information
Background Information for the 2005 Human Rights and Youth Scholarship Awards
2005 Human Rights Award—Non-Profit Category
Belandan is a weekly, public and cultural affairs television series produced at Time
Warner's Southwest Community Television studio in Eden Prairie. The series is seen
locally on public access channels, regionally on Twin Cities Public Television's Channel
17 and nationally on Bridges TV, an Islamic lifestyle network carried by DISH Network
and at least 14 other national satellite and cable carriers.
`Belandan,"which means"With open arms,"premiered seven years ago as a kind of
Arabic TV salon of perspective for and about the Twin Cities' Arab-American
community. Belandan soon broadened its reach and appeal to a wider and more diverse
audience by adopting English as its primary language and incorporating the kinds of
features that have long been popular on American public affairs and pop culture TV talk
shows.
Mr.Bill Hanley, Executive Vice President of Twin Cities Public Television said
"Belandan,more than most programs we broadcast, seeks to tackle issues related to one
of the most sensitive regions in the world and make them relevant to Minnesotans from
all backgrounds."
2005 Human Rights Award—Individual Recipient
Mr. Burt Moede,a long-time Eden Prairie resident and artist has freely given his time
and talent to paint many pictures that grace the halls of the Education Center and
welcome participants from all over the world. "Burt has painted people and animals
that reflect the many cultures we work with" said parent educator Charmayne Sletten.
Adding that Burt's art is a visual reminder to all residents that Eden Prairie is a
multicultural community.
Ada Alden, Director of Family Educational Services for Eden Prairie Schools,noted that
the Eden Prairie Manifesto encourages that community standard of respect for diversity is
communicated. "The respect and caring that resonates from Burt Moede's paintings is
almost palatable. Watching the faces of those who daily appreciate his art speaks to the
art works impact" said Alden.
2005-2006 Dr. Jean L.Harris Youth Scholarship Award Recipients
Connie Wang,Eden Prairie High School. As President of the National Honor Society,
Connie attempted to offer a wide variety of volunteer opportunities for the two hundred
club members to participate in. The activities such as working at food shelves, and acting
as counselors for a camp for special-needs students,helped these student leaders explore
the world beyond their own comfort zones. Connie stated"there is a greater world
outside of our suburb, full of people whose stories and backgrounds are unheard of to us.
It is the responsibility of our citizens to make an active effort to learn and educate
themselves of the cultures and societies of the rest of the nation."
Fluent in Chinese and Spanish, Connie views education as the most viable method of
"fixing"human rights problems. Connie believes that often times, racism and intolerance
result from the lack of education. "If we understand the situations and are able to identify
with others,then eventually our own prejudices will disappear"said Connie.
Michelle Roemmich,Eden Prairie High School.Michelle's volunteer activities have put
her in amazing places and situations, such as sleeping in boxes on a church lawn to raise
money and awareness about homelessness,putting together dinners for Feed My Starving
Children, and mission trips to inner-city Chicago and remote destinations in South
Dakota. "There is truly no end to the ways in which Michelle volunteers her time"says
Leah D. Rosso,Associate Pastor at Eden Prairie united Methodist Church.
Nancy Holden, the Director of PROP,has witnessed Michelle's sincere commitment to
helping diverse populations first hand and described her as having"a level of maturity
rarely found in students of her age."
Michelle says that through all of her volunteer experiences, she has come to learn that the
unfortunate people only differ from her in their possibilities for the future.

Gene Dietz reviewed upcoming road construction projects, including the Pioneer
Trail expansion. Dietz commented on the Highway 101 situation.He said Eden
Prairie is supportive of improving the roadway,but is currently waiting for
concurrence from Chanhassen.
B. MANAGEMENT ISSUES ALONG THE SWLRT BIKE TRAIL
Commissioner Koblick said another round of meetings will be held soon to inform
residents of how the County intends to deal with encroachments. Commissioner
Johnson said the County will likely start reminding people in writing annually that
the trail corridor belongs to the County and encroachments are not allowed.
C. UPDATES ON JOINT LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS AND
PROGRAMS
Chief Carlson commented on the positive working relationship Eden Prairie Police
Department has traditionally had with Sheriff McGowan,who has announced he
does not intend to run for reelection. Carlson said he looks forward to continuing
those positive relationships with the next Sheriff.
D. LIBRARY OPERATIONS UPDATE
Commissioner Johnson said circulation at the Eden Prairie branch is comparable to
the three"Dale" libraries, and children's literature circulation even outpaces them at
times.
E. DISCUSSION OF LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT OPTIONS
Commissioner Johnson said a number of options are being considered and the
County Board expects a staff recommendation on routing by the end of this year.
G. HCMC GOVERNANCE
Commissioner Johnson said January 2007 is target date for launching the new
governance structure. The new 13-member board will include two Commissioners.
The County Board will continue to oversee limited aspects of HCMC's operations.
Commissioner Koblick suggested Councilmembers review the draft bylaws online
to see who will be responsible for what under the new design.
H. PLANNING FOR FLU EPIDEMICS
Commissioner Johnson said internal planning includes how to continue critical
functions if up to a third of the workforce is not able come to work.
I. STADIUMS
Aho asked the Commissioners to comment on a stadium tax. Johnson said he
supported it and Koblick did not. Koblick said there will be at least three public
hearings if the legislation is approved by the State Legislature. Johnson said the
current bill only authorizes the County Board to go forward. How it proceeds will
depend on the form of the final bill.
Other topics touched upon were the growing meth problem and the County smoking ban.

D. COUNCIL RETREAT HELD SATURDAY,JANUARY 21,2006
Neal noted Staff has prepared two versions of the minutes per Council request: an
edited redline version and a brief summary version. Case suggested passing the
short version and adding a disclaimer to the long version indicating they do not
accurately reflect the meeting. Young said since the minutes have become a
matter of public comment,this would duck the issue.Also,the discussion thus far
seems to unfairly blame the recorder.Butcher said she was comfortable with
either version but called for Council to discuss future formats for recording retreat
sessions.
MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Case,to approve the short version of
the minutes.
Aho said having two versions of the minutes is too complicated. The Council
should just approve the long version. Young said even if the short version is
approved,the issue of the long minutes' accuracy remains. He said he disagreed
strongly with some of the revisions. Tyra-Lukens said the original long version,
the revised long version, and the short version are all part of the public record.
She supported passing the short minutes.
MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Case,to approve the short version of
the Council Retreat minutes. Motion carried 3-2 with Butcher,Case,and
Tyra-Lukens voting"aye" and Aho and Young voting"nay."
Tyra-Lukens asked Neal and Rosow to draft a proposal laying out different types
of recording for various types of meetings.Neal assented and noted Staff is
moving in a more minimalist direction.

VIIL PUBLIC HEARINGS/MEETINGS
A. VACATION OF EASEMENT FOR PART OF WEST 62ND STREET,
VACATION 05-03 (Resolution No.2006-60)
Neal said the property owner and developer of Prairie Estates has requested this
vacation to provide for the inclusion of the easement area into the plat of Prairie
Estates. The final plat of Prairie Estates was approved by the City Council on April
18, 2006. The easement area was obtained by Hennepin County with the
construction of CSAH 62 for the West 62°d Street cul-de-sac. No right-of-way
beyond the subdivision boundaries is included in this vacation. The plat of Prairie
Estates includes the dedication of right-of-way and construction of a roadway
providing access to the platted lots. The cul-de-sac area will no longer be needed
and will be included in Lot 1,Block 2 of the new plat. Dietz noted the proposal
originally called for a series of Quit Claim Deeds, but legal staff advises the mere
vacation of the easement will be sufficient. There were no comments from the
public.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher,to close the Public Hearing and
adopt Resolution No. 2006-60 vacating the easement for part of West 62nd Street
located in the North '/2 of Section 5. Motion carried 5-0.

B. HILLTOP ROAD IMPROVEMENTS,I.C. 05-5642 (Resolution No.2006-
61)
Neal said the Hilltop Road area is a residential neighborhood of 30 lots dating
back to 1952,when the plat of Eden Heights was approved. The homes are
served today by private well and septic systems. Hilltop Road shares a common
intersection with the west entrance to Grace Church on Eden Prairie Road.
Improvements to Eden Prairie Road in 2002 and the Riley Creek Ridge
subdivision in 1997 have provided sanitary sewer and watermain connections at
the east and west end of Hilltop Road. City Staff Alan Gray said he has been
working with residents for about a year and reached consensus to move forward
with the$1 million project. Due to a cap on assessments of$27,000,there will be
a city share, which will be funded out of the stormwater sewer and utility funds.
Two properties which are subdividable will pay a higher assessment of$33,444.
Resident Caryl Hansen of 16200 Hilltop Road said improvements are long
overdue and asked Council to act now.
Resident Chuck Roycraft of 16500 said his lot is not practical for subdivision, so
his assessment should be reduced or at least deferred. Gray said Staff had
discussed the matter with the property owner. Nearby lots with a similar
configuration have in fact been subdivided and the topography is workable to
create at least two lots. History shows the City has been accurate, indeed,
conservative, in predicting future subdivision. Staff would however recommend
deferring the assessment,which would accrue interest. The assessment can only
be made at the outset, so standard practice is to make the assessment and then
defer it in these cases. Young expressed surprise that assessing based on how a
lot might be subdivided in the future is standard practice. Case asked whether the

said they added interest to a neighborhood versus an identical setback.

D. REPORT OF PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR
1. Birch Island Park Improvements
Lambert said Birch Island was one of Eden Prairie's first parks but has
been minimally developed,with only a gravel parking lot and a casual trail
system. Neighborhood meetings in the late 1980s expressed lack of
interest in park development, along with concerns about safe access along
CSAH 4. Now that the referendum has provided$2 million for trails, both
side of CSAH 4 will have an 8-foot paved trail north to the Minnetonka
border. Due the steep grade next to the road,the trail will need to run
through the park. It makes sense to look at any improvements and their
location while routing the trail.Any improvements could be undertaken
next year along with the other parks improvements. Lambert sought
Council approval to seek neighborhood input, draft a concept plan, and

bring the plan to the Parks Commission. Planning would be done by the
end of the year.
Case noted the site has archaeological significance.Lambert said sensitive
areas are well away from proposed development sites but would be
monitored.

Move to: Approve Professional Services Agreement with SRF Consulting Group for Lone
Oak Center Traffic Signal Design, Construction and Signal Timing.
Synopsis
The Lone Oak Center Developer has requested that the City complete the construction of the
Mitchell Road/Lone Oak Road intersection improvement on a Special Assessment basis. With
approval of the Special Assessment Agreement and in order to meet the development schedule,
staff would like to proceed with the design of the traffic signal.
Background Information
The Lone Oak Center Developer's Agreement requires the installation of the Mitchell Road/
Lone Oak Road traffic signal concurrent with the development of the property. The Developer
has requested that this obligation be converted to a Special Assessment Agreement against the
property with the City implementing the project. The Special Assessment Agreement with Lone
Oak Center, LLC is included as a separate item on the City Council agenda.
With approval of the Special Assessment Agreement city staff will coordinate the installation of
the traffic signal with the schedule of the Lone Oak Center development. Currently it is
anticipated that the traffic signal will be operational near the beginning of November 2006. The
traffic signal improvements will also include implementing a coordinated traffic signal timing
plan for Mitchell Road. The plan will be implemented concurrent with the traffic signal turn-on.
The Professional Services Agreement includes an estimated cost of$40,700. Of this, $12,700 is
attributed to the traffic signal design, 10,900 to construction administration, and $19,200 to
coordinated traffic signal timing. The Developer, on an assessment basis is responsible for these
and all other costs associated with the project.

An Equal Opparha city Empl yrr
Mr. Randy Newton, P.E., P.T.O.E. -2- May 8,2006
We will prepare front-end specifications, including an advertisement for bids and
bid proposal form, and an engineer's estimate. We will submit the completed
PS&E package for approval and signature.
C. CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION/INSPECTION
1. SRF will review contractor bids and prepare a recommendation of award.
2. We will attend a pre-construction conference.
3. SRF will inspect construction of the interconnected traffic signal system. We will
attend the signal turn-on. Upon substantial completion of construction, we will
perform a final inspection and prepare a punchlist of remaining work/cleanup
items. We will verify that the Contractor has satisfactorily addressed all punchlist
items.
4. We will prepare a set of record drawings and submit to the City.
D. SIGNAL TIMING
SRF will create, implement and fine-tune coordinated signal timing plans for a system of
six traffic signals along Mitchell Road, including the following intersections:
Anderson Lakes Parkway
Technology Drive
Lone Oak Road
TH 5 South Ramps
TH 5 North Ramps
Martin Drive
AM and PM peak period turning movement count data for each intersection will be
furnished by the City. Mid-day turning movement counts are recommended for better
balanced flow timing plans(see Optional Work Task E).
1.0 Field Studies
1.1 Conduct three "before" and "after" intersection delay studies at selected cross-
street approaches. The studies will be conducted during either the AM or PM
peak periods and each study will be for one approach and last for 30 minutes.
The intersection approaches and associated peak periods will be selected by the
Project Team during the course of the project.
Mr. Randy Newton,P.E., P.T.O.E. -3 - May 8, 2006
2.0 Analysis of Existing Conditions and Review of Provided Data
2.1 Review data provided by the City including: intersection layouts showing all
geometry, current signal timing plans (including time-of-day settings), system
detector counts, three years of crash history and road tube/intersection turning
movement counts.
2.2 Field-review the existing operations during the AM and PM peak periods. Note
lengths of turning bays, lane configurations, speed limits, bus stops, presence of
pedestrians, and any No Turn on Red signs.
2.3 Prepare traffic flow charts using Turning Movement Counts furnished by the City.
Develop the charts utilizing the Peak 15 minutes times 4 method and balance the
counts between intersections for each time period to be analyzed.
2.4 Prepare Synchro files and SIMTRAFFIC model for existing conditions using
existing signal timing provided by the City.
2.5 Compare Synchro and SIMTRAFFIC model results to field observations and
calibrate the model as necessary to accurately represent existing conditions. As
part of this process, the intersection delay study locations should be selected by
the Project Team and studies performed as described in Task 1 to help calibrate
the model.
2.6 Prepare technical memorandum documenting the existing conditions analysis and
operational problems that were observed, and submit memorandum and Synchro
files to the City and Mn/DOT for review and approval.
3.0 Optimization of Signal Timing
3.1 Develop optimized Synchro signal timing plans and SIMTRAFFIC model for five
time periods using the following data provided by the City: minimum green
times, yellow and all-red times, walk and flashing don't walk times. Plans are
assumed to be AM peak, AM off-peak, balanced flow, PM peak, and PM
off-peak.
3.2 Analyze results from Synchro and SIMTRAFFIC and consider making cycle
length, offset and split changes to improve bandwidth and other measures of
effectiveness. Adjust cross street and left turn splits based on timing needs
calculated from the Critical Lane Analysis of the Highway Capacity Manual.
Analyze the walk and flashing don't walk times in relation to cross-street splits at
intersections with a large number of pedestrians.
Mr.Randy Newton, P.E., P.T.O.E. -4 - May 8, 2006
3.3 Analyze measures of effectiveness results and compare to existing conditions.
3.4 Prepare technical memorandum documenting the proposed timing plan analysis
and submit memorandum and Synchro files to the City and Mn/DOT for review
and approval.
4.0 Timing Plan Implementation
4.1 Meet with Mn/DOT staff and assist in the transfer of the signal timing program
data for download into Mn/DOT's Aries system. Assumes that Mn/DOT will
have an Aries network set up for this corridor.
4.2 Assist City and Mn/DOT staff in field review of traffic operations to verify that
the newly implemented timing plans are working correctly. Conduct a second
field review several months after internal implementation of timing plans, and
after further development of Lone Oak Center has occurred, and make any further
adjustments to the plans that are deemed to improve traffic operations. It is
assumed that each timing plan will be reviewed an average of two times in the
field immediately after implementation of the coordinated timing plans, and two
more times after further development has occurred.
4.3 Update the Synchro files with the timing changes made in the field and submit to
the City and MwDOT.
4.4 Prepare a technical memorandum documenting the final timing plans and
summarizing the offset and split changes made during field observations.
5.0 Meetings
5.1 Meet with City and Mn/DOT to review existing conditions Synchro files and
technical memorandum(Task 2.0 deliverable) (one meeting).
5.2 Meet with City and Mn/DOT to review optimized Synchro files and technical
memorandum (Task 3.0 deliverable) (one meeting).
E. MID-DAY TURNING MOVEMENT COUNTS (OPTIONAL)
Signal timing plans can be prepared without mid-day turning movement counts.
However, the timing plans will be much better suited to actual traffic conditions if this
count data is gathered. If the City desires, SRF can collect turning movement counts at
each of the subject intersections from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM on a weekday.
Mr. Randy Newton, P.E., P.T.O.E. - 5 - May 8, 2006
ASSUMPTIONS
In preparing this proposal, we have made the following assumptions:
1. 48 hours of existing hourly approach volume count data for each approach to Mitchell
Road/Lone Oak Drive intersection will be furnished by the City.
2. The City will furnish an electronic file with existing geometry for the Mitchell
Road/Lone Oak Drive intersection.
3. Interconnect cable currently runs along Mitchell Road, through the Lone Oak Drive
intersection. This cable will be cut and terminated in the new signal cabinet from one
direction, and replaced in the other direction.
4. State Aid funds will not be used. Signal plans will be prepared to Mn/DOT standards,
and will be reviewed by the City and Mn/DOT.
5. Interaction with Mn/DOT with regard to signal timing will be limited to helping
Mn/DOT to input and activate the new timing plans, field review and fine-tuning of
timing plans, and submitting technical memoranda and Synchro files that reflect existing
conditions, proposed timing, and the signal timing settings after fine-tuning in the field.
Mn/DOT will also be invited to the two meetings to review Synchro files and discuss
Technical Memoranda.
PROJECT TEAM
We anticipate that George Stuempfig, P.E., P.T.O.E. will be the Principal-In-Charge, Adrian
Potter, P.E., will manage signal design and construction, and Jon Krieg, P.E., P.T.O.E. will
manage signal timing efforts.
SCHEDULE
We will complete this work within a mutually agreed-upon time schedule. It is understood that
the City anticipates a signal turn-on around November 1, 2006.
BASIS OF PAYMENT/BUDGET
We propose that we be reimbursed for our services on an hourly basis for the actual time
expended. Other direct project expenses, such as printing, supplies, reproduction, etc., will be
billed at cost, and mileage will be billed at the current allowable IRS rate for business miles.
Mr.Randy Newton, P.E., P.T.O.E. - 6 - May 8,2006
Based on our understanding of the project and our Scope of Services, we estimate the cost of our
services to be $40,700, which includes both time and expenses. Of this, $2,000 is attributed to
the SJR, $10,700 to design, $10,900 to construction administration/inspection, and $17,100 to
coordinated signal timing plan creation/implementation. If the City would like SRF to gather
mid-day turning movement counts,we estimate an additional cost of$2,100. Additional services
that may be requested will be billed on the same time and expense basis.
Invoices are submitted on a monthly basis for work performed during the previous month.
Payment is due within 30 days.
CHANGES IN THE SCOPE OF SERVICES/ADDITIONAL SERVICES
It is understood that if the scope or extent of work changes or additional services are requested,
the cost will be adjusted accordingly. Before any out-of-scope or additional service work is
initiated, however, we will submit a budget request for the new work and will not begin work
until we receive authorization from you.
NOTICE TO PROCEED
A signed copy of this proposal or a separate letter of authorization, either mailed or faxed to our
office,will serve as our notice to proceed. Our fax number is 763-475-2429.
We sincerely appreciate your consideration of this proposal and look forward to working with
you on this project. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or need additional
information.
Sincerely,
SRF CONSULTING GROUP,INC.

Randy L. Slick Authorize Grading Permit for Slope
Public Works/Engineering Stabilization on Lots 12, 13 and 14,
Block 1, Settlers Ridge 5th Addition
Requested Action
Move to: Authorize issuance of grading permit to Neil Albert for the stabilization of
slopes in a Scenic and Conservation Easement Area.
Synopsis
Neil Albert is requesting City approval for a grading permit which would allow corrective
measures to be taken to repair the existing erosion and slope instability. The scope of the work
would include placing/moving 100 cubic yards of existing and imported material, 200 tons of
Rip-Rap placed in eroded area and 4,800 sq. feet of erosion control blanket to be placed when
grading is completed.
Background Information
Staff has reviewed the proposed plan and concurs that it does impact the Scenic and
Conservation Easement Area but, in order to repair the erosion and the slope instability,
encroachment into the easement area will be granted. The issuance of a grading permit to correct
the current problem should be limited to the area outlined in the submitted documents. Once the
work is completed, the area should grow up in a "natural" condition. The work being done
doesn't void or remove the restrictions of the Easement Document for subsequent issues. Should
the erosion problem reoccur in the future, these property owners would be required to resubmit a
request for additional corrective measures.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE:
SECTION: Consent Agenda May 16, 2006
DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: ITEM DESCRIPTION: IC#02-5585 ITEM NO.: VIL K.
Leslie Stovring Approve the Phase II NPDES Storm
Public Works/Environmental Water Permit Application and Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Program Plan
Requested Action
Move to: Approve the Phase II NPDES Storm Water Permit Application and Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Program Plan
Synopsis
The City of Eden Prairie is required to submit a revised Phase II National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System(NPDES) Permit to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA)by June 1,
2006. The Phase II NPDES Permit application includes a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP)and a series of Best Management Practices(BMPs)that the City will implement over the
next 5 years to comply with the permit requirements.
Background Information
The NPDES permit program was promulgated in 1990 under the Clean Water Act(CWA) in an effort
to preserve,protect and improve water resources from polluted storm water runoff. The MPCA has
assumed the role as the administrative agency for these requirements. The City did apply for a Phase
II NPDES permit in 2003. However,the permit was revised in 2005 to meet the requirements of a
May 2003 Minnesota Court of Appeals decision. The MPCA has required that the City submit a new
permit application and BMPs to meet the new requirements that resulted from this decision. Items
that must be included with the Permit application are the SWPPP and proposed BMPs for the six
Minimum Control Measures(MCMs)which are listed in the permit. The MCMs include:
• Public Education and Outreach
• Public Participation/Involvement
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
• Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
• Post-Construction Stormwater Management
• Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
New BMPs include items such as completion of a Nondegradation Analysis,BMPs to provide
protection of drinking water sources from stormwater discharges among others. In addition,the date
of full implementation was changed from 2008 to June 30, 2010. Draft copies of the BMPs are
available for review on request. After the SWPPP and BMPs are completed, copies will be placed on
City's web site for downloading.

City of Eden Prairie
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Permit Years 2006 To 2011
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Water quantity and water quality are both important considerations in our City during both
development review and planning for the future. This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) was developed to provide the City of Eden Prairie with information and direction
regarding the implementation of water resource management activities within the City over the next
five(5)years.
1.1 PLAN PURPOSE
The SWPPP was written to address concerns regarding potential deterioration of water quality due
to pollutants transported through stormwater runoff to our lakes, creeks and wetlands. The Phase II
National Pollution and Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting process requires
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) in urbanized areas, such as the city of Eden
Prairie, to file a Phase II NPDES permit with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)
which addresses how the City will regulate and manage stormwater discharges. Phase I of the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stormwater program was promulgated in
1990 under the Clean Water Act (CWA). Phase I addressed MS4s with populations of 100,000 or
greater.
1.2 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER CITY PLANS
Four other water resource planning tools have been developed and are adopted as part of the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program(SWPPP)for the City.
1.2.1 LOCAL DRAINAGE PLAN UPDATE(LDPU)- 1999
The LDPU was an update of the 1970 Drainage Plan prepared by Barr Engineering Co. for Eden
Prairie and includes stormwater modeling from a quantitative aspect.
1.2.2 COMPREHENSIVE WETLAND PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN(CWPMP)- 1999
The CWPMP, required by Minn. Rules 8420.0650, provided an inventory of wetlands and other
water bodies in Eden Prairie, an assessment of the wetland functions using the Minnesota Routine
Assessment Method for Evaluating Wetland Functions (MinRAM, version 1.0), resulting public
values for the water bodies and criteria for usage of water bodies for stormwater management based
on these results.
1.2.3 LOCAL WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN(LWMP)—2004
The LWMP provides an overall planning and management tools for water resources within the City
of Eden Prairie, including site plan review guidelines and requirements. Many components from
the LWMP were incorporated into the SWPPP.
1.2.4 WELLHEAD PROTECTION PLAN(WHPP)—2004
The WHPP provides a planning and analysis guide for protection of the City's wellhead protection
area(WHPA); including from storm water drainage impacts.
City of Eden Prairie
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) Plan
Permit Years 2006 To 2011
1.3 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER REGULATORY AGENCIES
The SWPPP is intended to meet requirements outlined the EPA's Phase I1 stormwater rules as well
as provide a user-friendly tool for day-to-day management of the City's stormwater discharge
system. The Phase 11 NPDES program is being administered by the MPCA.
1.4 MINIMUM CONTROL MEASURES (MCMs)
The SWPPP contains the City's plan to address the 6 Minimum Control Measures(MCMs) outlined
in the Phase 11 NPDES permit requirements. These 6 Minimum Control Measures are:
1. Public Outreach and Education
2. Public Participation/Involvement
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4. Construction Site Runoff Control
5. Post Construction Runoff Control
6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping

City of Eden Prairie
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) Plan
Permit Years 2006 To 2011
2.0 BACKGROUND
The City of Eden Prairie is a suburb of Minneapolis and is located in the southwestern corner of the
metropolitan area. The City includes 36 square miles of area and has a population of approximately
63,000 residents. The City currently has inventoried 736 wetlands,ponds, lakes and creek segments
within the City. The primary land use in the City is residential and much of the focus of the SWPPP
is residential education and outreach. Following are items that the City evaluated during
preparation of the SWPPP.
2.1 SELF ASSESSMENT
City staff assessed the proposed permit requirements, existing programs and proposed Best
Management Practices for inclusion in the SWPPP. Following are some of the factors that were
considered during the self-assessment phase.
• Sources of pollutants
• Sensitivity and uses of existing receiving waters
• Geology,hydrology and climate conditions
• Size of the community including existing and future development
• Implementation schedules and staff availability
• Financial implications
• Watershed characteristics
The actions taken to complete the self-assessment included the following.
• Review of existing ordinances.
• Review of existing stormwater pollution prevention policies and practices currently in use.
• Review of existing educational and training programs which provide information on water
quality and stormwater pollution prevention issues.
• Internal staff meetings to discuss the relationship between existing programs and proposed new
programs to fulfill any gaps in meeting the required MCMs and to develop timelines for
implementation.
• Selection of appropriate Best Management Practices.
City staff also considered the following non-stormwater discharges to determine whether they
should be identified as significant contributors of pollutants to our stormwater system. They were
not found to be significant.
• Water line flushing
• Landscape irrigation
• Diverted stream flows
• Rising ground waters
• Uncontaminated ground water infiltration
• Uncontaminated pumped ground water
• Discharges from potable water sources
• Foundation drains

City of Eden Prairie
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) Plan
Permit Years 2006 To 2011
• Air conditioning condensation
• Irrigation water
• Springs
• Water from crawl space pumps
• Footing drains
• Lawn watering
• Individual residential car washing
• Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands
• Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges
• Street wash water
• Discharge or flows from fire fighting activities
2.2 FUNDING MECHANISM
The City of Eden Prairie has established a Stormwater Utility Fee that is assessed against utility
bills. The City's Stormwater Utility revenue is generated by fees according to land use. This
information is summarized below. The stormwater utility fee will be the primary funding source for
the Implementation Plan (IP), as identified in the City's Local Water Management Plan (LWMP).
The chart below summarizes the current collection information.
Pro e Type Quarterly Collection Rate
Airport/Landfill(per acre $7.36
Commercial/Office(per acre $38.07
Institutions(per acre $33.66
Multi-Family(per acre $29.70
Single Family(per lot $3.00
Undeveloped Lands(per acre $10.00
The current stormwater utility collection is approximately $600,000 per year. Annual expenditures
from the Stormwater Utility are estimated as follows:
Type of Activi Estimated Annual Expenditure
Operations and maintenance activities $90,000-100,000
Programs and non-structural improvements $100,000-150,000
Special studies $50,000-60,000
Capital improvements $350,000-425,000
Estimated Annual Total ,$590,000-735,000
The City evaluated the Stormwater Utility Fee collection rate in relation to proposed expenditures
for the SWPPP as part of the Local Water Management Plan (LWMP). The City will evaluate the
need for fee increases to fully fund the stormwater utility program as the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Program (SWPPP)goes forward.

3.0 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK AND AGENCY RESOURCES
3.1 CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE-CURRENT NATURAL RESOURCE PROTECTION MEASURES
Protection of the City's water resources has been a priority throughout the City's development
history. Existing water resource related policies and local controls(City Code sections) include:
• Shoreland Management Ordinance (Section 11.50)
• Maintenance of Herbaceous Vegetation(Native Plant Ordinance) (Section 9.71)
• Land Alteration, Tree Preservation and Stormwater Management Regulations(Section 11.55)
• Sale of Lawn Fertilizer Regulations (Section 9.15) and Commercial Fertilizer Applicator
Licensing(Section 5.45)
• Preservation of Wetland and Woodland Areas Ordinance(Section 11.03)
• Standards for the Protection of Wetlands(Section 11.51)
• Steep Slope Ordinance (Section 11.60)
These ordinances and policies have provided the City and private development sector with the
means to protect the City's natural resources through limiting filling of wetlands; use of setbacks;
steep slope and shoreline buffers; and best management practices.
3.2 AGENCY RESOURCES
Several agencies sponsor programs for local stormwater or water resource management. The City
will continue to evaluate and implement these programs or available resources as practical to meet
local needs. Listed below are some of the programs and resources that the City has available as a
resource, are currently utilizing or are considering participation in.
3.2.1 METROPOLITAN COUNCIL(MET COUNCIL)
The Met Council provides a range of programs for management of water resources in the Metro
area. Several of Met Council's programs were considered during development of the City's
Minimum Control Measures, including the following.
• Urban Small Sites Best Management Practice (BMP) Manual — The Met Council developed a
BMP manual to provide information on tools and techniques to assist municipalities in guiding
development and redevelopment. Details on a variety of BMPs aimed at managing stormwater
pollution were provided.
• Metro Environment Partnership Grant Program — The purpose of this grant program is to
improve the water quality of Metro Area lakes and rivers by reducing nonpoint source (NPS)
pollution through education and implementation grants. The City will evaluate the grant
program in relation to any proposed projects for NPS pollution reduction as needed.
3.2.2 MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY(MPCA)
The MPCA operates several programs applicable to local storm water management planning. The
MPCA monitors water quality, sets standards, and implements various controls. Following are two
programs related to water quality. The MPCA has also published a Stormwater Manual for use.

City of Eden Prairie
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) Plan
Permit Years 2006 To 2011
• National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) - The MPCA manages the NPDES
Phase I construction and industrial discharge permitting and the Phase II permitting for small
municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). Section 4.0 discusses NPDES requirements
for the City.
• Clean Water Act (CWA) / Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) - The MPCA implements the
Clean Water Act that requires that states adopt water quality standards to protect waters of the
state. The EPA and MPCA require preparation of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) studies
to identify the source of pollutants and plans for bringing the water resources into compliance.
Mitchell, Red Rock, and Staring Lakes have been listed on the MPCA's 2002 Draft 303(d) list
of impaired waters.
• Minnesota Stormwater Manual — The MPCA published a Stormwater Manual that was created
through the Minnesota Stormwater Steering Committee in November 2005. The Manual
provides a number of guidelines and Best Management Practices for management of
stormwater.
3.2.3 HENNEPIN COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT
The Hennepin County Environmental Services Department is developing water resource education
measures that the City evaluated for incorporation into our proposed Minimum Control Measures.
The following program has been incorporated into the SWPPP:
• Wetland Health Evaluation Program (WHEP) — The WHEP or Wetland Stewardship Program
was developed by HCD, Dakota County Environmental Education Program and the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to evaluate and monitor wetland health in key wetlands
within communities in the Metropolitan Area. Citizen volunteers are recruited to collect
wetland data through invertebrate and vegetation sampling. The data can be used for a variety
of results, including informing citizens and local decision-makers about the health of wetlands
within their community and how wetlands may be impacted by changes in land use in the
watershed for the wetlands.
3.2.4 WATERSHED DISTRICTS
The Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek, Nine Mile Creek and Lower Minnesota River Watershed
Districts are the Watershed Districts (WD) located in the City. Each have developed water resource
management and evaluation programs. The Watershed Districts have also collaborated with the
City on a number of educational projects, such as:
• Environmental Fair
• Environmental Video Production
• Development and Promotion of the Environmental Learning Center
• Storm Drain Labeling Program
Use Attainability Analyses (UAAs) have been or are being developed by the Nine Mile Creek and
Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed Districts for lakes in these Districts in anticipation of the
upcoming Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements. Matching funds are available from
the Districts for projects identified within the UAAs.

4.0 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The six (6) Minimum Control Measures outlined in the Phase II NPDES permit requirements will
be addressed by the City through a variety of educational measures, training programs and
ordinances and policies. The proposed methods of meeting these MCMs are summarized below.
The individual measures, including implementation schedules, are included on the BMP Summary
Sheets in the Appendix. Records generated for the BMPs will be kept for at least three (3) years
beyond the term of the permit.
4.1 MINIMUM CONTROL MEASURE 1—PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
A number of public education opportunities exist within the City. These opportunities will be
developed into measures which would include stormwater pollution prevention education for
residents, local businesses and employees. The following are included in the SWPPP.
• Utility Bill Insert—A utility bill insert will be developed for inclusion in water utility bills each
spring. The proposed schedule is to insert them in the March, April and May billings. The
inserts will include information on not only water conservation but also basic information on
how residents can impact water quality and environmentally friendly lawn care tips.
• Website— The City's website will be expanded to include information on stormwater pollution
prevention as well as to include a copy of the SWPPP for review.
• Lawn Care Professional Mailer — An educational piece will be developed to mail with the
annual license renewal mailer.
• City Council Presentation — Information regarding the BMPs undertaken each year will be
summarized and presented to the Council on an annual basis.
• Environmental Event—The City will hold an Environmental Event every other year and include
information on water quality related topics such as stormwater pollution prevention. Previous
Events have been a successful collaboration between the Eden Prairie School District and the
City. Future events would be coordinated with other groups such as the School District,
Watershed District or Chamber of Commerce as resources and time allows.
• Environmental Multi-Media Productions — The City will continue to utilize existing
environmental videos and other multi-media productions developed for the City for education
on water resources and water quality topics. The use of these productions will be evaluated and
the need for new ones will be evaluated annually during the permit period.
• Environmental Learning Center— The City's Environmental Learning Center is a tool used by
the City in collaboration with Independent School District #272 to educate school age children
on wise management of water resources. The City will continue to collaborate with the school
district in the future to operate the Center and distribute environmental education information.
• New Resident Packets — The City plans to continue distributing informational packets to new
residents as they come in to homestead their properties. The information provided could include
items such as the annual Environmental Times publication, Hennepin County Drop-Off Facility
brochures, waste disposal company options and/or general recycling information. New
information for enclosure in the packet will be considered as new ordinances or policies are
developed.
• Education Programs — Education on information related to the Minimum Control Measures for
Illicit Discharge and Detection, Construction Site Runoff Control, Post-Construction
8
City of Eden Prairie
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) Plan
Permit Years 2006 To 2011
Stormwater Management and Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal
Operations will be developed and established. This could include developing educational
brochures, posting information on the City's web site, meeting with staff or contractors,
incorporating educational information into pre-construction meetings, promoting how residents
and employees can report problems, providing educational handouts for volunteer programs, or
others. The types of educational measures will be evaluated and adjusted annually as needed.
4.2 MINIMUM CONTROL MEASURE 2—PUBLIC PARTICIPATION/INVOLVEMENT
Public involvement has been important within the City and will be continued in the future. The
intent of this measure is to provide opportunities for citizens to participate in program development
and implementation. Programs which the City plans to utilize to meet these requirements include
the following.
• Storm Drain Labeling Program—The City has developed a number of storm drain labeling kits
that are made available to the community for storm drain labeling projects. Participants have
included scout troops as well as neighborhood groups. To date a number of parks and
neighborhoods have been marked with stencils or our new labels. A new tracking system will
be developed to better manage the labeling program.
• Wetland Health Evaluation Program (WHEP) — The City will continue to be involved in
providing laboratory space and advertising for WHEP. The program will be reevaluated during
2008 to determine if it should be continued.
• Annual Park Clean Up Event — The City Parks Department plans to continue to provide a
volunteer opportunity for local groups to participate in cleaning up waste materials from our
park and trail system. The Event has been held on the third Saturday of April.
• Annual Public Meeting — One annual meeting will be held to distribute information regarding
stormwater pollution prevention programs ongoing within the City and to allow the community
to provide comments or suggestions for the continuing success of the SWPPP.
• Conservation Commission—A new Commission was established in April 2006 to provide input
to the City Council on issues such as environmental education, water quality, energy and water
conservation, and solid waste management.
4.3 MINIMUM CONTROL MEASURE 3—ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION
One requirement of a SWPPP is development and implementation of a plan to detect and eliminate
illicit discharges to the City's storm sewer system. These measures will tie in with the public
education MCM as a key component is education of the public about the problems associated with
improper disposal of wastes which drain through storm water runoff towards our lakes, wetlands,
ponds and creeks.
• Storm Sewer System Map—A Storm Sewer System map was completed for the Local Drainage
Plan Update (LDPU) in 1999. This map included all storm sewer lines known at that time,
including pipes that are 12 inches and larger. However, the map did not include detailed
information on structural pollution control devices, outfalls and other discharge points. The
existing and new information for the system will be evaluated and updated as needed to
implement a map that will be in compliance with the NPDES requirements.
• Illicit Discharge Ordinance / Detection Program — An ordinance to prohibit non-stormwater
discharge into storm sewer systems is required by March 2008. The City intends to evaluate
9
City of Eden Prairie
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) Plan
Permit Years 2006 To 2011
existing policies as well as policies and ordinances in other metropolitan area cities to develop
an ordinance, if required. Areas that will be evaluated will include septic systems, illicit
connections, illegal dumping, recreational sewage, sanitary sewer system overflows, and water
line flushing. Programs to detect and stop illegal and/or improper connections to the storm
drainage system and illegal dumping will be developed as needed based on the ordinance
requirements.
• Illegal Dumping Detection Program — The City Parks Department will continue to monitor
known dumping areas within the City for illegal dumping activities. A Hotline will be available
to residents to report suspected dumping activities.
• Annual City Clean Up Event — The City will continue to provide an annual event where
residents can bring in items for disposal that are typically not picked up by local waste haulers.
This would include yard waste, furniture, scrap metal, carpet, building materials, appliances and
electronics. This event is typically held in June each year.
4.4 MINIMUM CONTROL MEASURE 4—CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL
A plan to detect and enforce erosion and sediment control for construction activities that impact one
(1) acre or more of land is complete. Measures that were included to evaluate on-going compliance
with this BMP included items such as site plan review, inspection of construction sites, pre-
construction meetings (for sites requiring a Land Alteration Permit), and a process to report
problems. Each of these are addressed on the individual BMP Summary Sheets.
• Construction Site Runoff Ordinance / Program — An ordinance to address construction site
stormwater runoff control and enforcement was completed in 2005. A program to review
construction site control measures will be developed to conform to the ordinance. Construction
site inspection and enforcement procedures will be evaluated and developed as needed.
4.5 MINIMUM CONTROL MEASURE 5—POST CONSTRUCTION RUNOFF CONTROL
A plan to address discharges of post-construction stormwater runoff from new development and
redevelopment sites was included in the stormwater management ordinance required in MCM 4.
• Post-Construction Runoff Ordinance/Program- The ordinance for construction site stormwater
runoff control included provisions to address post-construction site stormwater runoff. This
included long-term maintenance and repair requirements for stormwater control structures that
are not under drainage and utility easements.
• BMP/IMP Operation and Maintenance—An inspection program for BMPs and IMPS installed
within the City will be developed to determine a maintenance program. The City will also
evaluate the need for maintenance agreements or other measures required to ensure proper
function of BMPs or IMPS on private property, including right of entry to inspect and repair the
devices if not properly maintained by others.
4.6 MINIMUM CONTROL MEASURE 6 — POLLUTION PREVENTION / GOOD HOUSEKEEPING FOR
MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS
Current programs to prevent or reduce pollutant runoff from municipal operations will be evaluated.
Municipal staff training on pollution prevention measures and techniques will be a component of
this program. Operations which will be evaluated for inclusion in this program will include items
10
City of Eden Prairie
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) Plan
Permit Years 2006 To 2011
such as street sweeping; pesticide, herbicide and fertilizer usage; street salt storage and usage; and
catch-basin cleaning.
• Storm Sewer Inspection — A rotating inspection program will be established and implemented
annually to inspect and evaluate known outfalls, sediment basins, ponds and pollution control
devices for areas that are either City owned or under an existing drainage and utility easement.
Areas which are not under existing drainage and utility easements will be evaluated and
maintenance needs will be determined under the guidelines established in the City's stormwater
management ordinance. Cleaning and repair programs will be established annually based upon
the results of the inspection program and available financial resources.
• Stockpile, Storage and Material Handling Area Inspection — An inspection program will be
implemented to monitor City-owned and operated areas. Each area will be inspected annually.
This would include exterior or exposed storages for items such as road salt, gravel, sand, wood
chips, street sweepings or agricultural products.

Fire Department Award bid for protective equipment(turnout gear)
George F.Esbensen and NFPA compliant service contract
Requested Action
Move to: Approve a five year lease for firefighter turnout gear and all associated mandated
record keeping functions related to the turnout gear.
Synopsis
Due to numerous changes occurring within NFPA(National Fire Protection Association) and the
fire service as a whole with regards to firefighter safety and protection, it was necessary to
evaluate our current methods of managing how we equip our personnel. The hazards which face
firefighters continue to intensify and the technology of protective equipment continues to evolve.
Because the costs associated with this type of change are expensive the fire department has
reviewed many paths to accomplish what has become a necessity. The year-long process
involved third party research, factory visits, feedback from other departments and internal
discussions regarding this unique approach to meeting the needs of the department and the City.
Metro Fire/Cairns Protective clothing have successfully fulfilled our expectations and have done
so with an aggressive cost structure that allowed us to remain within our budget through the 2007
budget cycle.
The proposal addresses the following:
1. All Eden Prairie Firefighters will be brought up to the current 2006 NFPA standards with
regard to the protective structural firefighting equipment.
2. The new NFPA 1851 standard that requires cleaning, maintenance and testing of the gear
on a twice yearly basis is fulfilled including all data tracking and records storage and
reporting by individual firefighter by the supplier.
3. Price guarantees for additional gear through 2007
4. A financing program which allows for all firefighters to be brought to this current level of
protection while still maintaining current budget allocations.
5. Going forward the budget allocation for this line item will be easier to forecast which will
improve the accuracy of the budget as a whole.

Requested Action
Move to:
• Close the Public Hearing; and
• Adopt the Resolution for Guide Plan Change from Low Density Residential to
Medium Density Residential on 2.06 acres; and
• Adopt the Resolution for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 2.51 acres; and
• Approve 1st 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; and
• Adopt the Resolution 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.
Synopsis
This project is for a 10 unit twin home development. The concept plan shows an additional twin
home on Lot 12 where an existing single family home will remain for a limited time. Lot 12 will
remain in the Rural zoning district and require PUD waivers for size,width, depth and structure
setbacks within the Rural district until it is developed. The waivers may have merit since the lot
has been designed to accommodate a future twin home, access is eliminated from Pioneer Trail,
and the duration of the existing single family home will be limited.
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.
Background Information
It is anticipated that the undeveloped property to the east will develop in a similar fashion and is
provided with access through this development so its access to Pioneer Trail can also be
eliminated in the future.
To address neighborhood concern the developer is working with Hennepin County to obtain a
temporary construction access from Pioneer Trail to complete the majority of the development.

1. Guide Plan Change from Low Density Residential to Medium Density
Residential on 2.06 acres
2. Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 2.51 acres
3. Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 2.51 acres
4. Zoning District Change from Rural to RM-6.5 on 2.06 acres
5. Preliminary Plat of 2.51 acres into 12 lots and right-of-way
BACKGROUND
Staff Report—Baneberry Hollow
April 21,2006
The site is guided Low Density Residential for up to 2.5 units per acre. Surrounding land uses
are Medium Density and Low Density Residential to the north across Pioneer Trail, Low Density
Residential to the east, Park to the south and Medium Density to the west.
The site is zoned Rural. Land to the north is zoned RM-6.5 and R1-9.5,Rural to the east and
south, and RM-6.5 to the west.
Two existing houses on the property take access from Pioneer Trail.
This project was first reviewed at an informational meeting at the Planning Commission on
February 27,2006. The Commission was comfortable with the proposal but wanted to see more
information on construction traffic and trip generation for the property.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
The concept is for 12 unit twin homes on 2.51 acres. Ten units are to be constructed at this time.
The existing single family home at 10015 Pioneer Trail will remain for the short term and will
develop into two additional twin home units following a future approval process, including
public hearings.
GUIDE PLAN CHANGE
The density of the 10 unit project is 4.4 units per acre which will require a guide plan change
from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential and a rezoning to RM-6.5. The
plan shows how the property to the east could develop in a similar fashion some time in the
future resulting in eight additional units for an overall density of 3.5 units per acre.
The townhouse portion of the Bluff Ridge development that abuts the site to the west is 6 units
per acre.A single family development exists to the southeast of the site at 1.45 units per acre.
LAND USE TRANSITION
Transitions are required where there are differences in land use, building mass,height, or
densities. The code states that transitions may be accomplished by increased setbacks,berming,
planting, larger lot sizes, lower densities, lower floor area ratios, and smaller buildings.
The existing town homes to the west are four and six unit buildings with free standing garages
served by a 32 foot wide public road. The proposed plan terminates the public road with a cul-
de-sac, uses building pad sizes similar to the single family lots to the southeast, and is served by
private drives. These features, together with the proposed landscaping,provide the transition
between land uses.

Staff Report—Baneberry Hollow
April 21,2006
SITE PLAN/PRELIMINARY PLAT
The preliminary plat for the 10 twin home units meets the zoning code for lot size, dimension
and setbacks in the RM-6.5 district. Until the existing single family home develops into two
twin home units,the following temporary PUD waivers within the Rural district will be required
for Lot 12:
Code Proposed
10 acre minimum lot size 14,030 square feet
300 foot lot width/depth 77 feet/145 feet
50 foot side setback/150 both sides 12 feet/27 both sides
50 foot rear yard setback 27 feet
The waivers may have merit since the lot has been designed to accommodate a future twin home,
access is eliminated from Pioneer Trail, and the duration of the existing single family home will
be limited.
All necessary right-of-way for Pioneer Trail will be dedicated as part of the plat.
Seven guest parking spaces have been provided.
ACCESS
Access is proposed from Lee Drive. The project eliminates the current driveway accesses to
Pioneer Trail. The proposed cul-de-sac meets city standards. The private drive is extended to
serve the neighboring property to the east, so when that site develops, its access to Pioneer Trail
will also be eliminated.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
There are 526 diameter inches of significant trees located on the site. Tree loss is 404 diameter
inches, resulting in 413 caliper inches of tree replacement. The plan provides the required trees.
A series of rainwater gardens will handle storm water for the development.
UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer and water are available to the site from Lee Drive and Pioneer Trail. The sanitary
sewer lift station currently located at the end of Lee Drive will be eliminated as part of this project.
3
Staff Report—Baneberry Hollow
April 21,2006
LANDSCAPING
The RM-6.5 zoning district requires landscaping based on the size of all buildings. A total of 71
caliper inches of trees are required. The plan meets this requirement.
TRAFFIC AND CONSTRUCTION PHASING
Issues raised at the informational meeting for this project included traffic and construction
phasing.
It is anticipated that this project will add 70 daily trips and 5 morning, and 6 evening peak hour
trips on Lee Drive. This road is designed to accommodate this modest increase. With the
development,Lee Drive will still be a low traffic use roadway compared to a typical
neighborhood street.
The developer's narrative provides a construction phasing schedule for the development showing
that the majority of phase one construction can be served from a temporary construction access
off of Pioneer Trail. This would include demolition of one existing house, grading of the
property, storm water ponds, and sewer and water installation. The developer is currently
working with Hennepin County to coordinate this access.
SUMMARY
The change in land use is reasonable since it provides for an appropriate density to the abutting
higher density development. The 4.4 unit per acre twin home development is a reasonable
transition from the neighboring 6 unit per acre town houses to the west and single family
development to the southeast. The existing accesses to Pioneer Trail will also be eliminated.

A. BANEBERRY HOLLOW by Lake West Development. Request for:
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 on 2.51 acres;Zoning District
Change from Rural to RM-6.5 on 2.06 acres;Preliminary Plat of 2.51 acres into
12 lots and right-of-way. Location of property is 10015 and 10065 Pioneer Trail.
Thomas Fretham, of 4930 Baker Road, Minnetonka, and representing Lake West
Development,presented the proposal. He pointed out that the City Staff has
helped them reach the requirements that were set forth for this project. He stated
that the requirements are thoroughly outlined in the City Staff report. Mr.
Fretham said that tonight he would like to take the opportunity to explain their
plan to the neighbors of this development and any concerned residents. He stated
that they are proposing to combine two parcels of land. They are located at 10015
Pioneer Trail,which is an owner occupied home, and 10065 Pioneer Trail,which
is a rental unit owned by Lake West Development. The proposal is for a density
change from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential and a
rezoning change to RM-6.5. Currently the site is guided Low Density Residential
for up to 2.5 units per acres. The surrounding land uses are Medium Density and
Low Density Residential to the north across Pioneer Trail, Low Density
Residential to the east, a park to the south and Medium Density to the west. The
site is zoned Rural. Land to the north is zoned RM-6.5 and R1-9.5, Rural to the
east and south, and RM-6.5 to the west. Mr. Fretham stated that the density
change would allow for 12 units of twin homes on 2.51 acres. At this time, they
would only be constructing 10 units of the 12 unit project. He also stated that
access to this project is proposed from Lee Drive and that this project would
eliminate the current driveway access to Pioneer Trail. He also pointed out that
the proposed cul-de-sac meets City standards. Mr. Fretham utilized the overheard
projector to show access into this project. He also showed the sewer and drainage
systems located on the project. He stated that there would be numerous rain
gardens developed to handle all of the storm water. Mr.Fretham pointed out that
they are in compliance with tree replacement per City requirements. He stated
that there are numerous trees that are dying in this area and it would be a benefit
to the neighborhood to have them replaced. He stated that the first phase of the
project would be the removal of the home and construction of the roads and
utilities.
Stoelting asked Kipp to review the staff report. Kipp stated that on February 27,
this project was first reviewed by the Planning Commission at the Informational
Planning Commission Minutes
April 24, 2006
Page 3
Meeting and at that time the Staff was comfortable with the proposal. The only
concern at that time was that access to Pioneer Trail would be eliminated and
issues of construction traffic using Pioneer Trail. Kipp pointed out that there
would be some waivers with this project but that they would be temporary in
nature. He also pointed out that the City felt that there would only be a modest
increase in traffic flow. The Staff recommendation is for approval.
Powell asked Kipp if there would be walkways adjoining the areas on both ends
of Lee Drive. Kipp stated that there is nothing in place at this time. Fox stated
that there is a protective wetland issue between the two Lee Drive neighborhoods.
Stoelting opened the meeting up for public input.
Debbie Smaby,representing Autumn Ridge Association on Arrow Wood and Lee
Drive, stated that their main concern was the water draining into the park. She
stated that after rainfall there is a substantial amount of water located on the
were initially told that the proposed
baseball field. Ms. Smabystated that the p p
Y Y
units would be in the price range of the low$200,000. She asked Mr.Fretham if
that was correct. Mr.Fretham stated that the houses would be around the
$400,000 range. Ms. Smaby asked how construction traffic will move for the
construction of the 11t'and 12t'units. She also stated that the trips went from
150 a day to 70 and the density has not changed and asked what that meant. She
also asked what will happen to the fencing on Lee Drive and Pioneer Trail.
Merlyn Jacobson, of 10211 Lee Drive, representing the association on Lee Drive
stated that they have the same concerns as Debbie Smaby. He also pointed out
that they are very concerned with the trees on the northeast section of the
property. He utilized the overhead projector to show location of the trees.
Stoelting summarized the issues brought forth. They are as follows:
1. The concern of water flow and water backing up into the park area.
2. Traffic access when units 11 and 12 are being constructed.
3. Validate that there would be a sidewalk on Lee Drive.
4. Address the tree issue and the trees located on Pioneer Trail.
5. Why did the trips per day go down from 150 to 70.
6. What will happen to the fencing on the left side of the project.
Mr. Fretham utilized the overhead projector to show were the tree removal would
take place. He pointed out that the areas behind the homes would not be
impacted, and especially the mature trees. He stated that in regards to the fence,
they do not know who put it up or who it belongs to but that part of it will have to
come down during construction. As far as the fence on Lee Drive,they can take it
down or leave it up. Mr.Fretham pointed out that the sidewalk will be extended
from Lee Drive to Pioneer Trail. He stated that as far as construction flow there
seems to be some confusion. He stated that they will not be putting up all 10 units
at once and that they would like to leave the driveways there for construction
Planning Commission Minutes
April 24,2006
Page 4
purposes. He stated that as far as the construction traffic, 96 trips would be
accurate for 12 units, 70 trips would be accurate for 10 units, and 150 trips when
the neighboring property to the east develops. Mr.Fretham said that are far as
ponding in the park,they are directing it away from the park and creating rain
gardens. So in actuality,the park would remain drier. Stoelting asked Gray to
verify this. Gray stated that this project would be able to handle its own water
drainage.
Koenig asked Fox if this project had a 78 percent tree loss. Fox stated that was
correct. He pointed out that the tree loss is always high on projects that are
building roads and houses, but that the builders will mitigate trees in the area.
Fox stated that the project proponent is complying with the City in regards to tree
mitigation and replacement.
Stoelting asked Kipp if there are temporary waivers involved for lot 12. Kipp
stated that was correct since it will remain in the rural zoning district at this time
and that the project proponent would have to submit a detailed plan for lot 12 in
the future. Kipp also stated that in regards to any access concerns on Pioneer
Trail,the contractor will have to go through the City and County.
MOTION by Kirk, seconded by Koenig,to close the public hearing. Motion

B. GANDER MOUNTAIN by Oppidan Investment Company. Request for:
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 on 4.69 acres;Zoning District Change from I-2 to

Preliminary Plat of 4.69 acres into one lot. Location of property is 12150
Technology Drive.
Dennis Crow,representing Oppidan Investment Company,presented the
proposal. Mr. Crow pointed out that this project would be located next to the
Xcel Energy substation. He also stated that Gander Mountain is a sporting
business that has its roots in Minnesota and now there are over 98 stores
throughout the United States and that Oppidan Investment Company has been
Planning Commission Minutes
April 24, 2006
Page 5
partnering with Gander Mountain in the development of these sporting goods
stores. Mr. Crow said that this unit will be unique because it will have
underground parking. He also pointed out that this site has some challenging
characteristics; its triangular shape and the easements from the Xcel Energy
substation. He said that because of these issues, it dictated the location and
footprint of the building. He said that the architectural design of the building is
that of a north woods structure. Mr. Crow addressed some of the issues that Staff
addressed in the staff report in regards to recommendations. In regards to the
wetland issue, he saw this area as not having an issue and felt that in the future
this area would eventually dry up. He also said that they have submitted an
application to wetland delineation. Mr.Crow said that they are not opposed to
adding a sidewalk to Technology Drive. He said that they will also be eliminating
the retaining walls and in regards to the landscaping plan,they will be working
with Staff to revise this. Mr. Crow pointed out that they will be asking for a
parking waiver. He stated that in all of the Gander stores,the have parking
P g Y
spaces at a ratio of 4 spaces per 1000 gross square feet of building or 5 spaces per
1000 gross square feet of building and have met the surge for traffic.
Stoelting asked Herron to review the staff report. Herron stated that Staff
recommends approval based on recommendations on page 5 and 6 of the staff
report.
Stoelting opened the meeting up for public input.
Chan Ellie, representing American Baptist Homes,at 11985 Technology Drive,
asked what the plans are for improvements on the north side of Technology Drive.
She stated that she is concerned about erosion problems in this area; especially in
their parking lot. Stoelting asked Gray to address this issue. Gray stated that
Gander Mountain will be responsible for their area on Technology Drive and
pointed out that this development many not improve the Baptist Homes parking
lot,but it would certainly not harm the current drainage situation.
Koenig asked Staff to address the issue of parking and would there be an issue
with it during peak days. Mr. Crow stated that all of the other Gander Mountains
have not had any problems with parking and he does not see any parking issues
with this Gander Mountain. Herron stated that she does agree with Mr. Crow and
does not feel that parking would be an issue.
Stoelting asked Mr. Crow to discuss traffic flow in and out of Gander Mountain.
Mr. Crow stated that there are two entry points into the parking lot of Gander
Mountain and that the main entrance is off of Technology Drive. He stated that '/4
of all of the parking will be located in the underground garage. Mr. Crow said
that the underground parking area is a very secure area.
Kirk stated that this style of parking is very effective and sited Best Buy in Eden
Prairie as a good example of underground parking. Kirk did ask a question
Planning Commission Minutes
April 24, 2006
Page 6
regarding shoreline waivers on a recreational lake and asked if these were
common waivers. Herron stated that it is common and sited Costco as a good
example of this.
Seymour asked if this site was originally planned to be an office complex because
it is on the north end of Town Center and earlier in the year the plan had that area
as being office. Herron stated that the plan that was presented earlier in the year
for the Major Center Area Study is a guide and that could be subject to change.
She also stated that this location is not included in the"Town Center"but rather
north of it. Seymour stated that he has a concern for this area and is not sure if
this is the right development to go into the area next to Town Center. Stoelting
asked Staff if this development is what was envisioned for the Town Center area.
Kipp stated that Commission should look at the bigger picture. He reiterated that
the study is a guide for development of the entire MCA and is subject to change.
Kirk stated that he understood Seymour's concerns but also feels that this project
needs to be looked at holistically and that since this project is right on the edge of
Town Center it is a pretty good use of the property. Duckstad commented that it
would be a positive addition to the area but asked if this land use was permissible
in an I-2 District and also questioned why zoning would be changed. Herron
stated that this project is a 100 percent commercial which is not permitted in an
industrial zone;therefore it needs to be changed.
Koenig asked if the elevator was ADA accessible. Mr. Crow responded that is
was ADA accessible.
Koenig asked if more parking spaces could be added to the underground parking.
Mr. Crow stated that there would be no possible way that more spaces could be
added to the underground parking.
Koenig asked Mr. Crow if the company still plans on purchasing Wetland in Sibly
County. Mr. Crow stated that they have a purchase agreement in effect to meet
the 2-1 mitigation based on original wetland delineation defined back in
November. Koenig asked if they could come back to the Planning Commission
after they purchase the Wetland. Mr. Crow stated that would not be feasible
because they want to open the store before Thanksgiving.
Koenig asked Fox about the decorative fencing as part of the mitigation. Fox
stated that numerous factors have to be taken into account such as trees and
wildlife and this decorative landscaping would provide some screening on
Technology Drive.

Background Information
The triangular site is bordered by Highway 5 to the north and Technology Drive to the south.
Lake Idlewild is also located to the south and the site is within a shoreland area. The property is
impacted by several overhead Xcel Energy easement restrictions.
This site is in Sub Area#2 of the Major Center Area(MCA.) Sub Area#2(outside of the town
center) is planned for office,big box retail, medical, community retail, and mid-rise high density
residential uses,with office on this site. The traffic model for this site was based on office use.
Retail can be an acceptable use for this site in Sub Area#2.Although the traffic numbers are
higher for commercial,the upgrade of Technology Drive,to be constructed by the developer, can
mitigate the increased traffic.
Planning Commission Recommendation

TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Regina Herron, Planner I
DATE: April 21, 2006
PROJECT: Gander Mountain
LOCATION: 12150 Technology Drive
APPLICANT/ Oppidan Investment Company/
OWNERS: Valmont Coatings, Inc.
REQUEST: 1. Guide Plan Change from Industrial to Regional Commercial on 4.69
acres
2. Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 4.69 acres
3. Planned Unit Development District Review on 4.69 acres
4. Zoning District Change from I-2 to Commercial Regional Service on
4.69 acres
5. Site Plan Review on 4.69 acres
6. Preliminary Plat of 4.69 acres into one lot and right-of-way
Staff Report—Gander Mountain
April 21,2006
Page 2
BACKGROUND
The Comprehensive Guide Plan shows the 4.69 acre property for Industrial land use.
Surrounding land uses consist of Industrial and Regional Commercial.
The property is zoned I-2 (Industrial 2 acre minimum.)
The triangular site is bordered by Highway 5 to the north and Technology Drive to the south.
Lake Idlewild is also located to the south and the site is within a shoreland area. The property is
impacted by several overhead Xcel Energy easement restrictions.
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN CHANGE
The project will require a guide plan change from Industrial to Regional Commercial. This land
use may be appropriate for the following reasons:
1. The property is adjacent to Commercial Regional Service land uses to the south.
2. The site is adjacent to Highway 5 and a highly visible site.
3. The site is within the Major Center Area which anticipates commercial and office land uses.
4. The project eliminates a heavy industrial use site.
SITE PLAN AND PRELIMINARY PLAT
The overall plan shows 65,698 square foot Gander Mountain retail store.
The building has a base area ratio of.195 and a floor area ratio of 0.32. City code permits up to
a 0.20 base area ratio and a 0.40 floor area ratio in the Commercial Regional Service zoning
district.
PUD WAIVERS
The following waivers are requested through the Planned Unit Development:
I. Front yard setback to parking of 17.5 feet along Highway 5. City code requires 35
feet. Front yard setback to parking of 10 feet along Technology Drive. City code
requires 17.5 feet.
There is a large right of way along Technology Drive and Highway 5. Cars in the parking
lot will be setback at a greater than normal distance from the pavement. Screening of
parking is a code requirement. Even with planting more trees to fulfill the landscaping
and tree replacement obligations,the cars will still be visible. Since the useable area for
screening is narrow, because of the waiver,the screening solution will have to be
architectural.A decorative metal and stone column fence along both fronts in
combination with trees would be the correct solution.
Staff Report—Gander Mountain
April 21,2006
Page 3
2. Parking ratio of 4.5 stalls per 1000 gross square feet of building area. Code requires
6 per 1000 square feet. National parking statistics show that 4 to 4.5 per 1000 sq. ft. are
appropriate for specialty big box uses. Corporate Gander requires a minimum of 4 spaces
per 1,000. Other communities have not observed parking problems.A staff visit to the
Woodbury store during the peak times on Saturday showed a maximum of 75 cars.All of
this data would suggest that parking would be adequate. Christmas,the fishing opener
and hunting opener may experience some inadequacies in parking.
3. Shoreland waivers for Lake Idlewild,a Recreation Development Water:
a. Impervious surface of 69.41%. Code maximum is 30%.
b. Lot size of 4.69 acres. Code requires 10 acres.
These waivers are reasonable since the property is within the MCA which anticipates
commercial uses; provides stormwater handling, and is consistent with the city's
flexibility through the DNR for higher impervious surfaces within the MCA. The
existing site already exceeds this requirement with no storm water treatment pond. The
proposed pond is large enough to treat runoff from impervious surface and is the correct
mitigation for the waiver.
LANDSCAPING/TREE REPLACEMENT
Based on the size of the buildings,a total of 200 caliper inches of landscaping is required.
The tree inventory shows 564 diameter inches of significant trees on the property. Tree loss is
100 percent. Tree loss in the right of way is 9 caliper inches. Tree replacement due to tree loss
onsite and in the right of way is 759 caliper inches of trees.
Combining the landscaping and tree replacement requirements, a total of 959 caliper inches of
plant material are required for the site.
The plan provides 386 caliper inches of trees. An additional 573 caliper inches of trees are
required. Due to the power line easements large trees cannot be planted making it difficult to
increase tree sizes to make up the deficit. There is room on site outside the easement for an
additional 200 inches of trees. There is a greater than normal amount of shrubs and a 200 inch
credit could be given.The remaining equivalent inches could be used to build a decorative metal
fence with masonry columns to improve the screening of cars as required by City Code.
SIGNS
The Gander Mountain freestanding and wall signs meet code requirements.
SITE LIGHTING
Parking lot lighting is downcast-cutoff fixtures on 20-foot poles.
Staff Report—Gander Mountain
April 21,2006

WETLAND
The initial information provided on the existing wetland showed a size of 16,988 square feet.A
Wetland Permit Application was submitted to the Watershed District to fill the entire wetland
and replace it in Sibley County. Since that time, cooling water discharge to the wetland has been
stopped.
Recent data shows a wetland size of 3,843 square feet and less mitigation may be required. It is
possible that given the reduced wetland size that the watershed district would require the wetland
to be saved. If so,the proposed pond would have to be adjusted according.The developer will
have to provide additional information to the watershed district which reanalyzes the wetland to
determine the impact of cessation of the cooling water discharge on the wetland size and reduced
size and configuration and provide a Wetland Delineation Report, revised Wetland Permit
Application and an avoidance and minimization plan. This should be completed prior to review
by the City Council.
MAJOR CENTER AREA(MCA)
This site is in Sub Area#2 of the Major Center Area(MCA.) Sub Area#2(outside of the town
center) is planned for office, big box retail, medical, community retail, and mid-rise high density
residential uses,with office on this site. The traffic model for this site was based on office use.
Retail can be an acceptable use for this site in Sub Area#2.Although the traffic numbers are
higher for commercial,the upgrade of Technology Drive,to be constructed by the developer, can
mitigate the increased traffic.
SIDEWALKS
A sidewalk from the building and parking lot should be provided to Technology Drive that aligns
with the existing driveway to Emerson Management(the north side of Technology Drive)to
provide access to the trail along Technology Drive that will be constructed this year.
SUMMARY
Comprehensive guide plan change,rezoning, and planned unit development waivers should be
granted only when the proposed plan is consistent with objectives of the City.These objectives
would be the appropriateness of the use, high quality buildings and architectural detail,
appropriate mitigation for project impacts, and road improvements based on a traffic study.
The Planning Commission should discuss the following questions.
1. Should the land remain zoned 1-2 or changed to Commercial Regional Service?
2. Is retail on this site appropriate in Sub Area#2?
3. Are there good reasons to support the waivers from the City Code?

VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. BANEBERRY HOLLOW by Lake West Development. Request for:
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 on 2.51 acres;Zoning District
Change from Rural to RM-6.5 on 2.06 acres;Preliminary Plat of 2.51 acres into
12 lots and right-of-way. Location of property is 10015 and 10065 Pioneer Trail.
Thomas Fretham, of 4930 Baker Road,Minnetonka, and representing Lake West
Development,presented the proposal. He pointed out that the City Staff has
helped them reach the requirements that were set forth for this project. He stated
that the requirements are thoroughly outlined in the City Staff report. Mr.
Fretham said that tonight he would like to take the opportunity to explain their
plan to the neighbors of this development and any concerned residents. He stated
that they are proposing to combine two parcels of land. They are located at 10015
Pioneer Trail,which is an owner occupied home, and 10065 Pioneer Trail,which
is a rental unit owned by Lake West Development. The proposal is for a density
change from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential and a
rezoning change to RM-6.5. Currently the site is guided Low Density Residential
for up to 2.5 units per acres. The surrounding land uses are Medium Density and
Low Density Residential to the north across Pioneer Trail,Low Density
Residential to the east, a park to the south and Medium Density to the west. The
site is zoned Rural. Land to the north is zoned RM-6.5 and R1-9.5,Rural to the
east and south, and RM-6.5 to the west. Mr.Fretham stated that the density
change would allow for 12 units of twin homes on 2.51 acres. At this time,they
would only be constructing 10 units of the 12 unit project. He also stated that
access to this project is proposed from Lee Drive and that this project would
eliminate the current driveway access to Pioneer Trail. He also pointed out that
the proposed cul-de-sac meets City standards. Mr. Fretham utilized the overheard
projector to show access into this project. He also showed the sewer and drainage
systems located on the project. He stated that there would be numerous rain
gardens developed to handle all of the storm water. Mr. Fretham pointed out that
they are in compliance with tree replacement per City requirements. He stated
that there are numerous trees that are dying in this area and it would be a benefit
to the neighborhood to have them replaced. He stated that the first phase of the
project would be the removal of the home and construction of the roads and
utilities.
Stoelting asked Kipp to review the staff report. Kipp stated that on February 27,
this project was first reviewed by the Planning Commission at the Informational
Planning Commission Minutes
April 24, 2006
Page 3
Meeting and at that time the Staff was comfortable with the proposal. The only
concern at that time was that access to Pioneer Trail would be eliminated and
issues of construction traffic using Pioneer Trail. Kipp pointed out that there
would be some waivers with this project but that they would be temporary in
nature. He also pointed out that the City felt that there would only be a modest
increase in traffic flow. The Staff recommendation is for approval.
Powell asked Kipp if there would be walkways adjoining the areas on both ends
of Lee Drive. Kipp stated that there is nothing in place at this time. Fox stated
that there is a protective wetland issue between the two Lee Drive neighborhoods.
Stoelting opened the meeting up for public input.
Debbie Smaby,representing Autumn Ridge Association on Arrow Wood and Lee
Drive, stated that their main concern was the,water draining into the park. She
stated that after rainfall there is a substantial amount of water located on the
baseball field. Ms. Smaby stated that they were initially told that the proposed
units would be in the price range of the low$200,000. She asked Mr. Fretham if
that was correct. Mr. Fretham stated that the houses would be around the
$400,000 range. Ms. Smaby asked how construction traffic will move for the
construction of the 1 lth and 12th units. She also stated that the trips went from
150 a day to 70 and the density has not changed and asked what that meant. She
also asked what will happen to the fencing on Lee Drive and Pioneer Trail.
Merlyn Jacobson, of 10211 Lee Drive,representing the association on Lee Drive
stated that they have the same concerns as Debbie Smaby. He also pointed out
that they are very concerned with the trees on the northeast section of the
property. He utilized the overhead projector to show location of the trees.
Stoelting summarized the issues brought forth. They are as follows:
l. The concern of water flow and water backing up into the park area.
2. Traffic access when units 11 and 12 are being constructed.
3. Validate that there would be a sidewalk on Lee Drive.
4. Address the tree issue and the trees located on Pioneer Trail.
5. Why did the trips per day go down from 150 to 70.
6. What will happen to the fencing on the left side of the project.
Mr.Fretham utilized the overhead projector to show were the tree removal would
take place. He pointed out that the areas behind the homes would not be
impacted, and especially the mature trees. He stated that in regards to the fence,
they do not know who put it up or who it belongs to but that part of it will have to
come down during construction. As far as the fence on Lee Drive,they can take it
down or leave it up. Mr. Fretham pointed out that the sidewalk will be extended
from Lee Drive to Pioneer Trail. He stated that as far as construction flow there
seems to be some confusion. He stated that they will not be putting up all 10 units
at once and that they would like to leave the driveways there for construction

purposes. He stated that as far as the construction traffic, 96 trips would be
accurate for 12 units, 70 trips would be accurate for 10 units, and 150 trips when
the neighboring property to the east develops. Mr. Fretham said that are far as
ponding in the park,they are directing it away from the park and creating rain
gardens. So in actuality,the park would remain drier. Stoelting asked Gray to
verify this. Gray stated that this project would be able to handle its own water
drainage.
Koenig asked Fox if this project had a 78 percent tree loss. Fox stated that was
correct. He pointed out that the tree loss is always high on projects that are
building roads and houses, but that the builders will mitigate trees in the area.
Fox stated that the project proponent is complying with the City in regards to tree
mitigation and replacement.
Stoelting asked Kipp if there are temporary waivers involved for lot 12. Kipp
stated that was correct since it will remain in the rural zoning district at this time
and that the project proponent would have to submit a detailed plan for lot 12 in
the future. Kipp also stated that in regards to any access concerns on Pioneer
Trail,the contractor will have to go through the City and County.

Preliminary Plat of 4.69 acres into one lot. Location of property is 12150
Technology Drive.
Dennis Crow, representing Oppidan Investment Company,presented the
proposal. Mr. Crow pointed out that this project would be located next to the
Xcel Energy substation. He also stated that Gander Mountain is a sporting
business that has its roots in Minnesota and now there are over 98 stores
throughout the United States and that Oppidan Investment Company has been

April 24, 2006
Page 5
partnering with Gander Mountain in the development of these sporting goods
stores. Mr. Crow said that this unit will be unique because it will have
underground parking. He also pointed out that this site has some challenging
characteristics; its triangular shape and the easements from the Xcel Energy
substation. He said that because of these issues, it dictated the location and
footprint of the building. He said that the architectural design of the building is
that of a north woods structure. Mr. Crow addressed some of the issues that Staff
addressed in the staff report in regards to recommendations. In regards to the
wetland issue, he saw this area as not having an issue and felt that in the future
this area would eventually dry up. He also said that they have submitted an
application to wetland delineation. Mr. Crow said that they are not opposed to
adding a sidewalk to Technology Drive. He said that they will also be eliminating
the retaining walls and in regards to the landscaping plan,they will be working
with Staff to revise this. Mr. Crow pointed out that they will be asking for a
parking waiver. He stated that in all of the Gander stores,they have parking
spaces at a ratio of 4 spaces per 1000 gross square feet of building or 5 spaces per
1000 gross square feet of building and have met the surge for traffic.
Stoelting asked Herron to review the staff report. Herron stated that Staff
recommends approval based on recommendations on page 5 and 6 of the staff
report.
Stoelting opened the meeting up for public input.
Chan Ellie,representing American Baptist Homes, at 11985 Technology Drive,
asked what the plans are for improvements on the north side of Technology Drive.
She stated that she is concerned about erosion problems in this area; especially in
their parking lot. Stoelting asked Gray to address this issue. Gray stated that
Gander Mountain will be responsible for their area on Technology Drive and
pointed out that this development many not improve the Baptist Homes parking
lot, but it would certainly not harm the current drainage situation.
Koenig asked Staff to address the issue of parking and would there be an issue
with it during peak days. Mr. Crow stated that all of the other Gander Mountains
have not had any problems with parking and he does not see any parking issues
with this Gander Mountain. Herron stated that she does agree with Mr. Crow and
does not feel that parking would be an issue.
Stoelting asked Mr. Crow to discuss traffic flow in and out of Gander Mountain.
Mr. Crow stated that there are two entry points into the parking lot of Gander
Mountain and that the main entrance is off of Technology Drive. He stated that'/<
of all of the parking will be located in the underground garage. Mr. Crow said
that the underground parking area is a very secure area.
Kirk stated that this style of parking is very effective and sited Best Buy in Eden
Prairie as a good example of underground parking. Kirk did ask a question
Planning Commission Minutes
April 24, 2006
Page 6
regarding shoreline waivers on a recreational lake and asked if these were
common waivers. Herron stated that it is common and sited Costco as a good
example of this.
Seymour asked if this site was originally planned to be an office complex because
it is on the north end of Town Center and earlier in the year the plan had that area
as being office. Herron stated that the plan that was presented earlier in the year
for the Major Center Area Study is a guide and that could be subject to change.
She also stated that this location is not included in the"Town Center"but rather
north of it. Seymour stated that he has a concern for this area and is not sure if
this is the right development to go into the area next to Town Center. Stoelting
asked Staff if this development is what was envisioned for the Town Center area.
Kipp stated that Commission should look at the bigger picture. He reiterated that
the study is a guide for development of the entire MCA and is subject to change.
Kirk stated that he understood Seymour's concerns but also feels that this project
needs to be looked at holistically and that since this project is right on the edge of
Town Center it is a pretty good use of the property. Duckstad commented that it
would be a positive addition to the area but asked if this land use was permissible
in an I-2 District and also questioned why zoning would be changed. Herron
stated that this project is a 100 percent commercial which is not permitted in an
industrial zone;therefore it needs to be changed.
Koenig asked if the elevator was ADA accessible. Mr. Crow responded that is
was ADA accessible.
Koenig asked if more parking spaces could be added to the underground parking.
Mr. Crow stated that there would be no possible way that more spaces could be
added to the underground parking.
Koenig asked Mr. Crow if the company still plans on purchasing Wetland in Sibly
County. Mr. Crow stated that they have a purchase agreement in effect to meet
the 2-1 mitigation based on original wetland delineation defined back in
November. Koenig asked if they could come back to the Planning Commission
after they purchase the Wetland. Mr. Crow stated that would not be feasible
because they want to open the store before Thanksgiving.
Koenig asked Fox about the decorative fencing as part of the mitigation. Fox
stated that numerous factors have to be taken into account such as trees and
wildlife and this decorative landscaping would provide some screening on
Technology Drive.

Randy Newton Approve Professional Services
Public Works/Engineering Agreement with SRF Consulting Group
for Singletree Lane and West 78 Street
Preliminary Design
Requested Action
Move to: Approve Professional Services Agreement with SRF Consulting Group for
Singletree Lane and West 780' Street Preliminary Design
Synopsis
The realignment of the Singletree Lane and West 78th Street was identified as a near-term
improvement in the Major Center Area report. In order to advance this project staff recommends
initiating the preliminary design phase of the project.
Background Information
The Major Center Area Study identified the realignment of Singletree Lane and West 78th Street
as a near-term improvement. The realigned roadway will provide a strong east/west connection
through the Major Center Area(MCA) and is a primary component of the Major Center Area's
street network. In addition, the realignment will improve the safety and efficiency of the
roadway system by combining the Singletree and West 78th Street intersections with Highway
212. The planned improvement includes upgrading the realigned roadway to a continuous 4-lane
facility with turn lanes between its intersections with Prairie Center Drive to both the east and
west.
The preliminary design process will evaluate the feasibility of multiple re-alignment alternatives
with the ultimate goal of selecting a single preferred alignment and estimating the project costs.
If appropriate, city staff will seek to obtain both Mn/DOT and City Council approval of the
preferred alignment. In addition, since the corridor is within the Town Center area of the MCA,
a conceptual landscape design will be developed to ensure that adequate space is preserved and
planned for along the corridor.
Public involvement is anticipated to be a significant element of the preliminary design.
Throughout the preliminary design process, City staff intends to meet with the affected
businesses as necessary to keep them updated on the progress of the project, solicit their input,
and address their questions. It is also anticipated that I to 2 open houses will be held at
appropriate stages of the preliminary design process.
Financial Implications
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 meeting 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 this task. All costs associated with the preliminary design will be paid using TIF
monies received for MCA transportation improvements.

May 9, 2006
Mr. Randy Newton,PE,PTOE
Traffic Engineer
CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
880 Mitchell Road
Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Dear Mr.Newton:
SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR
SINGLETREE LANE AND WEST 78TH STREET PRELIMINARY DESIGN
Based on our request, we are leased to submit this proposal to provide professional services
Y q P p p p
for preliminary design of the Singletree Lane and West 78th Street corridor. As you know,
SRF Consulting Group, Inc. assisted the City of Eden Prairie with the recently completed
Major Center Area Study. The study recommended transportation improvements within the
Major Center Area to address existing congestion and circulation problems. The realignment
and widening of Singletree Lane and West 78th Street were recommended to provide a major east—
west roadway through the area.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
We propose to carry out the work described as follows:
Task 1 Surveys and Mapping
We proposed to use the digital aerial images from the Major Center Area Study as the base map for
the layout. This aerial base map will be supplemented with field topographic survey information,
which is necessary in order to develop roadway profiles, cross sections and ultimately construction
limits. The amount of field data collected will be limited to mostly roadway elements in order to
minimize the scope of this task. The base map will also include right of way and property
boundaries that will be very important when identifying impacts beyond the existing right of way
limits. It is assumed that the City will provide all necessary plats along the corridor to document
property boundaries.
Mr. Randy Newton, PE, PTOE -2- May 9, 2006
Task 2 Preliminary Roadway Design
Using the base map developed in Task 1, we will prepare up to three (3) preliminary geometric
layouts of Singletree Lane and West 78th Street from Prairie Center Drive on the west to Prairie
Center Drive on the east end. This segment was reviewed in the Major Center Area Study and our
first step would be to sit down with City staff and review the transportation improvement
recommendation from the study to identify all areas of concern. We will brainstorm and review
potential alternate improvements with staff, including the preliminary evaluation of roundabouts at
key intersections, to see if any alternate designs are feasible and worthy of further study. Once all
conceptual designs are evaluated, we will proceed with preliminary engineering on up to three (3)
alternate layouts. The preliminary engineering tasks will include the following:
■ Preparation of preliminary geometric layouts showing alignments, geometrics, profiles and
construction limits.
■ Preliminary drainage analysis.
■ Construction staging layout development.
■ Initial coordination with utility owners along the corridor.
■ Identification of all impacts to private property beyond existing right of way.
■ Coordinating with Mn/DOT to gain staff approval of the preferred layout.
Task 3 Preliminary Landscape Design
The SRF Landscape Architecture staff will review recommendations from the Major Center Area
Study to develop conceptual landscape and streetscape designs, and prepare a concept streetscape
layout for the project corridor. The benefit of proceeding with the preliminary landscape design
will be to ensure an adequate amount of boulevard space is preserved and planned for along the
corridor.
Task 4 Cost Estimates
The Major Center Area Study includes a planning level construction cost estimate of$3.5 million.
After studying alternate geometric options along the corridor, we will have good conceptual layouts
to begin the preliminary engineering tasks. We will prepare initial construction cost estimates for
up to three (3) conceptual layouts. Once grading limits have been established, we will also review
the right of way impacts and estimate the cost for easement and right of way acquisition. We will
also prepare a cost estimate for the conceptual streetscape design. During the preliminary
engineering process, we will update the construction costs as necessary to avoid surprises when the
cost estimate is prepared for the final layout.
Mr. Randy Newton, PE,PTOE -3 - May 9, 2006
Task 5 Meetings(City-directed Task)
It will be helpful to meet one-on-one with adjacent property owners and businesses along the
corridor to help understand their specific concerns and needs and discuss potential project impacts.
These meetings may occur before, during and after the preliminary engineering process. Therefore,
it is difficult to estimate the number of potential meetings. As requested, SRF proposes to assist
City staff with these one-on-one meetings on an "as-needed"basis at the City's discretion. In most
cases, we anticipate two SRF staff persons to attend when needed, including the principal in charge
and the project engineer. The fee for providing this support will be on an hourly basis depending on
the rates of the actual staff persons.
In addition to one-on-one meetings, we will provide assistance and support to City staff for two or
three public open houses. The purpose of each open house will be to present the preliminary design
and answer questions. SRF will also attend these public meetings at the discretion of City staff and
the fee for this task will be on an hourly basis similar to the method stated above.
SCHEDULE AND BUDGET
We will complete the work with a mutually agreed-upon time schedule. We propose to be
reimbursed for our services on an hourly basis for the actual time expended. Other direct project
expenses, such as printing, supplies, etc., will be billed at cost, and mileage will be billed at the
current allowable IRS rate for business miles. Invoices are submitted on a monthly basis for work
performed during the previous month. Payment is due within 30 days.
Based on our understanding of the project and our Scope of Services, we estimate the cost of our
services to be as follows:
Task 1: Surveys and Mapping $13,478
Task 2: Preliminary Roadway Design $60,270
Task 3: Preliminary Landscape Design $11,280
Task 4: Cost Estimates $ 7,310
Direct Project Expenses $ 584
SUBTOTAL $92,922
Task 5: Meetings(City-directed) $15,040
TOTAL $107,962
Mr. Randy Newton, PE,PTOE -4- May 9, 2006
The cost for City-directed Task 5, Meetings, is estimated to be $235 per hour and the cost shown
above has been estimated for budgeting purposes. We understand that this service will be requested
by the City on an as-needed basis.
CHANGES IN THE SCOPE OF SERVICES/ADDITIONAL SERVICES
It is understood that if the scope or extent of work changes or additional services are requested, the
cost will be adjusted accordingly. Before any out-of-scope or additional service work is initiated,
however, we will submit a budget request for the new work and will not begin work until we
receive authorization from you.
We sincerely appreciate your consideration of this proposal and look forward to working with you
on this project. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or need additional
information.
Sincerely,
SRF CONSULTING GROUP,INC.
