Sherry Butcher opened the meeting in Mayor Young's absence. Task Force Member Robert
Amell was also absent.
I. CEMETERY TASK FORCE REPORT
Parks Manager Stu Fox said the Cemetery Task Force was formed at the request of
Council after several residents made emotional pleas to the City Council for exceptions to
the Pleasant Hill Cemetery regulations. Task force membership includes a lot owner, a
neighbor, a local funeral home representative, a Heritage Preservation Commission
member, a representative from the Eden Prairie Cemetery Board, and a member at-large.
The Cemetery Task Force's charter was to review and make recommendations on:
• Rules and operations
• Supply of and demand for lots
• Aesthetics
Cemetery Task Force Chair Lee Wenzel made a PowerPoint presentation on the task
force's report.
Operations and Rules Recommendations
The task force made recommendations on marker sizes and rules for placement of
flowers,plants and paraphernalia. The task force recommends that every grave have a
permanent marker and that damaged markers and skirts be repaired. They also
recommended that monuments be allowed in the front,unused portion of Section 3.
Demand and Pricing
The Task Force recommends charging $500 per lot for residents and $650 for non-
residents.
Aesthetics and Capital Improvements
The task force recommends that ornamental fencing encompass the entire cemetery;
acquisition of additional land; and design of a focal area of reflection and contemplation.
The task force also recommends that cemetery information by distributed on the internet
and with a print brochure. They also asked the City to consider developing a database of
cemetery records that would be available on the internet.
Other items discussed by the task force included:
• Means of contacting rules violators
• Maintenance standards
• Scattering of ashes
• Enforcement of rules
• Hours
• Lighting
• Replacement of the cemetery sign
• Installation of benches
• Irrigation
• Upgrade of the area in front of the fence
Wenzel asked for Council input on rules for flowers and paraphernalia. Council Member
Aho said people place flowers and other items as part of the grieving process,but that
perhaps it makes sense to adopt time limits for those types of items. Beckmann said the
Task Force recommendations accommodate placement of items for anniversaries and
birthdays. Butcher asked if people are aware of the rules and regulations. Mike Rogers,
Eden Prairie Cemetery Board Member, said he usually only moves items if they are in the
way of the mowers. He said it is hard to make a cut and dried rule about placement of
flowers and paraphernalia. Funeral Home Director Wally Gelecinskyi said when people
are planning a funeral, they are grieving and do not pay attention to rules and regulations.
Council Member Butcher said she would like to discuss the option of allowing
monuments in Section 3 of the cemetery. Fox said flush markers have always been
required because they allow for mowing and maintenance around the graves; however,
this is no longer an issue. He said people who were not allowed to place monument
markers may be annoyed if the rules are changed; however, he thinks Council should
consider allowing 36" slanted monument markers in Section 3. Butcher said the ability
to mow around the monument markers is a valid reason to change rules to allow them.
Gelecinskyi said he thinks permitting upright monument markers will reduce placement
of other paraphernalia on and around graves.
Aho said he likes the idea of appointing a Cemetery Board and using volunteers to help
maintain the grounds. Butcher said she also likes those ideas.

on 7.96 acres. Location: 14100 Valley View Road. (Resolution No. 2007-69 for
Planned Unit Development Concept Review; Ordinance for PUD District
Review and Zoning District Amendment)
Neal said official notice of this public hearing was published in the May 24, 2007,
Eden Prairie Sun Current and sent to 82 property owners. He said the proposed plan
shows an 8,412 square foot addition to an existing 21,000 square foot church. The
applicant is requesting an exterior materials waiver from the 75% face brick, glass,
and stone requirement to allow the existing wood to be replaced with a material
called hardiboard. The church requested the hardiboard to be applied as a panel
(Option A). The Planning Commission and staff recommended the hardiboard be
applied as lap siding (Option B) in order to be consistent with the wood character
of the existing building. The 120-day Review Period for this project expires August
28, 2007. The Planning Commission voted 5-0 with one abstention to recommend
approval of the project at the May 14, 2007 meeting.
Nicole Thompson, architect for the project, said the church wants to apply the
hardiboard as panels in order to modernize the look of the building, to help with the
scale of the building, to accommodate future plans for expansion and to decrease
the cost.
Butcher asked Thompson to describe the hardiboard material. Thompson said it is a
durable fiber cement board and comes with a 50 year warranty. She said it is a
highly used product and showed examples of its application on several buildings.
Duckstad asked if the product has a track record for durability. Thompson said they
have used it in many projects because of its durability, and the same product is used
as a tile backer. She noted the church has experienced rotting of the existing siding,
and this product is resistant to water and mold.
Young said he understood the Planning Commission approved the use of
hardiboard but wanted it applied as lap siding rather than as panels. He asked if it is
primarily an issue of cost. Thompson said they feel it gives the facility a more
modern look as well as cost factor of lower cost.
Young asked to which buildings the 75%rule applies. Herron said it applies to the
entire building. The applicant is proposing an 8,000 square-foot addition. The
proposal for use of the hardiboard is for the existing 21,000 square foot church and
a portion of the addition.
Aho asked if this is the exact proposal presented to the Planning Commission or is
it a new option. Herron said the exterior elevations did show the panel application.
Nelson asked if they have a picture of what it would look like with the panel
application versus the lap siding. Thompson provided two drawings comparing the
two methods of applying the hardiboard.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
June 5,2007
Page 5
Aho asked what the cost differential is. Thompson said the panel application is a
10%reduction in cost.
Nelson said she agreed with the Planning Commission and staff as far as the looks
of the lap siding goes and, typically, we do not look at cost as a hardship for
variance. She was not in favor of looking at cost as a variance for this project
either, and she would prefer to go with the Planning Commission and staff
recommendation.
Pastor Dale Sisam of Life Church said they want a facility that would enhance the
community and requested the Council approve the hardiboard application as panels
(Option A)because that would enhance the aesthetics and make it a more pleasing
facility.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Nelson, to close the Public Hearing; to
adopt Resolution No. 2007-69 for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on
7.96 acres; to approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for Planned Unit Development
District Review with waivers, and Zoning District Amendment within the Public
zoning district on 7.96 acres; and to direct Staff to prepare a Development
Agreement incorporating Staff and Commission recommendations and Council
conditions.
Butcher said she had to agree with Council Member Nelson. She found it difficult
to go against the Planning Commission and staff recommendation unless there is a
compelling reason to do so. She was not sure if this is an aesthetic reason because
aesthetics is a very subjective perspective.
Young said he feels less compelled on this issue than Council Members Butcher
and Nelson, and he was inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to the entity that is
building the facility.
Aho said he very much values the work of the Planning Commission and staff, but,
if it is a reason of aesthetics versus function or longevity, he thought the view of the
proponent takes some precedence in the matter. He said he would vote to go with
the proponent's recommendations.
Duckstad said he concurred with Council Member Aho and Mayor Young.
AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Duckstad to
approve the substitution of flat panels (Option A) instead of lap siding. Motion
carried 3-2,with Butcher and Nelson opposed.
VOTE ON THE MOTION AS AMENDED: Motion carried 3-2, with Butcher
and Nelson opposed.

B. LARIAT CENTER — APPLEBEE'S Request for: Planned Unit Development
Concept Review on 5.85 acres, Planned Unit Development District Review on 5.85
acres, Zoning District Amendment in the Commercial Regional Service District on
5.85 acres and Site Plan Review on 5.85 acres. Location: Prairie Center Drive &
Joiner Way. (Resolution No. 2007-70 for Planned Unit Development Concept
Review; Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning District Amendment)
Neal said Lariat Companies wants to change the exterior of both buildings in the
Center. There are four architectural changes including roof line, exterior materials,
sign location and adding flags. The building meets the code requirement for 75%
face brick, glass or natural stone. The 120-day review period expires on August 15,
2007. He said the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the
project at the May 22, 2007 meeting. He noted we received a request from the
proponent at 3:00 p.m. today to make a substantial amendment to the project that
was not considered by the Planning Commission. He recommended this be
continued until the June 19th meeting in order to refer it back to the Planning
Commission for their meeting next week.
City Planner Herron said the proponent was available to answer questions.
Brian Klutz,representing Lariat Companies, said he discussed with Scott Kipp an
idea of a more appropriate use for a portion of the building. He said they would be
happy to go back to the Planning Commission; however, the owner of the property
would accept approval as approved by the Planning Commission. He said they
would like to reserve the right to take it back to the Planning Commission if it is
approved.
Herron said the proposal as submitted met the 75%requirement; however, this is a
change in that approval from 75%to about 66% for the over-all building,which
would require a waiver. She recommended it go back to the Planning Commission.
Klutz said their suggestion is to consider all four sides of both buildings, and with
that consideration the proposal exceeds 75%.
Young said if proponent's request tonight is to consider something other than what
the Planning Commission approved, we would not deal with that tonight.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Duckstad, to close the Public Hearing; to
adopt Resolution No. 2007-70 for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on
5.85 acres; to approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for Planned Unit Development
District Review with waivers, and Zoning District Amendment in the Commercial
Service District on 5.8 acres; and to direct Staff to prepare a Development
Agreement incorporating Staff and Commission recommendations and Council
conditions.

City Attorney Rosow said he wanted proponent to understand if the Council votes
and approves the action as the motion states, then the option to go back to the
Planning Commission for approval of something different would require proponent
to go back through the process again.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried 5-0.
C. VACATION OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY EASEMENT AND SLOPE
EASEMENT OVER PART OF EDEN ROAD,VACATION 07-03
Neal said official notice of this Public Hearing was published in the May 17, 2007
Eden Prairie Sun Current and sent to three property owners. He said the property
owner has requested the vacation of the public right-of-way easement and slope
easement to facilitate the proposed Windsor Plaza development plan. Prior to
adopting the resolution vacating the portion of Eden Road right-of-way identified, a
satisfactory determination regarding the relocation of existing private utilities
within the vacated area is required. The developer of Windsor Plaza will be
responsible for this. The Resolution for this Vacation will be presented for approval
at a future Council meeting. Neal said the Council is being asked to hold a Public
Hearing this evening, but to reserve the action for a later date.
Dietz said this is something of a big deal for Windsor Plaza, and they want to know
that the vacation of right-of-way is approved before they finalize for the project.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Nelson, to close the Public Hearing.
Motion carried 5-0.
X. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS
MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Duckstad, to approve the Payment of Claims as
submitted. The motion was approved on a roll call vote,with Aho,Butcher, Duckstad,

1. Sprint-Nextel Agreement
Neal said after months of negotiations with Sprint/Nextel, an agreement has
been reached whereby Sprint/Nextel will replace all radios currently
operating on the City's "Multi-net"radio system.
Fire Chief Esbensen explained the frequency used by Sprint/Nextel cell
phones was interfering with the public safety radio systems. In the 2005
agreement with the FCC, Sprint/Nextel agreed to move public safety radio
systems that have interference from the Sprint/Nextel cell phone
frequencies to other frequencies at no cost to the public safety entity that is
impacted. The recent negotiations occurred to determine how much the
interference was impacting us.
Neal said Sprint/Nextel agreed to all of the terms we discussed with them
starting back last November. Under the negotiated terms all of the
approximately 1000 radios used by the City, the School District and
Southwest Metro Transit will be replaced at a cost of almost $3,000,000. He
said this will help us make the transition to a regional radio system.
Aho said he appreciated the work done on this and noted this represents a
major cost saving to the City.
Neal said part of the settlement was not only getting the equipment but also
reimbursing us for time spent by legal counsel and staff. Esbensen said it
should be virtually a no-cost deal for the City.
MOTION: Duckstad moved, seconded by Butcher, to approve the
agreement with Sprint Nextel for the replacement of all City, School
District and SouthWest Metro Transit radios. Motion carried 5-0.
2. Part II of Council Planning Session
Neal said Part II of the Council Planning Session will be scheduled for July.
He said Lorene McWaters will call the Council Members to check their

from the first session to affirm or change our mission, vision, and key
objectives.

1. Technology Drive Streetscape/Landscape Project, I.C. 07-5691
Dietz said the Council authorized reconstruction of Technology Drive
between Mitchell Road and SouthWest Station in 2005, and the road
construction was completed in 2006. The streetscape/landscape features
were removed from the road construction contract, with staff committing to
review these elements and prepare a plan that creates a more "walkable
communities" standard.
Dietz reviewed three concept plans developed by SRF Consultants for the
project. He noted the three concept plans were taken to the three adjacent
property owners, MTS, ADC and St. Andrews Lutheran Church. The
property owners liked the third concept plan, which is an informal
arrangement and includes some of the plantings on adjacent properties. He
said there will be an entrance feature on both sides of the street on the east
side at Mitchell and Technology Drive that will include a fence, a
monument containing plantings, and brick patterns in the sidewalk. Bollards
will be placed to delineate the pedestrian crossings. The plantings will be
informal,perennial plants so there will be minimal maintenance after the
first year.
Dietz said the irrigation system will be tied into the systems at ADC, MTS
and St. Andrews. The City will pay to install the system, and they will pay
for ongoing maintenance. We plan to use current technology that will
reduce water usage by 30-70%. If necessary some of the Water Surcharge
Funds will be used to finance the system so we can use it as a demonstration
project of what could be done with better technology. The available budget
for the project is $283,000 and the estimate is about $275,000. The request
before the Council tonight is to approve project plans and specifications and
order advertisement for bids. If approved tonight, bids would be opened on
June 14 and the results brought back to the Council at the June 19 meeting.
Nelson asked if electricity is available at the entrance in case we should
decide to put in lights in the winter months. Dietz said there is electricity in
the right-of-way because we have the 25-foot street lighting. Staff looked at
low scale pedestrian lighting in the corridor, but we couldn't get an
agreement with Excel Energy to add pedestrian lighting. Nelson said she
was thinking of the small lights similar to those used at SouthWest Station
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
June 5,2007
Page 10
during the winter months, at least at the ends of the block. Dietz said he
thought that could probably be added later because there is electricity in all
of the poles.
Butcher thought the plan was wonderful, it is consistent with the whole
area, and it helps fulfill our vision to create a downtown and tie all the
surrounding portions into it. She noted this area is highly used as a walking
area, and this will enhance the walking paths available.
Dietz noted this will be a two-phase plan because the City Forester advised
waiting until spring for some of the plantings; however, most of it will be
planted by this fall. Staff is looking at doing this as a type of entrée into the
"walkable communities" idea.
MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Butcher, to approve plans and
specifications and order advertisement for bids for I.C. 07-5691,
Technology Drive Streetscape/Landscape Project. Motion carried 5-0.

H. REPORT OF CITY ATTORNEY
1. Proposed FCM Resolution
Rosow said the City Council asked that he review the resolution submitted
to the City by a resident in regard to the City's official position regarding
expansion at Flying Cloud Airport. He reviewed the six parts of the
proposed resolution.
Rosow said he reviewed the agreements the City had in place to see if the
proposed resolution was in keeping with the agreements or if there were
areas of potential conflict. He said the attention was being paid to the Final
Agreement entered into between the City and the Metropolitan Airports
Commission (MAC) after months and months of negotiations. However, at
the same time the Final Agreement was being negotiated, there was a
Memorandum of Understanding written concerning cooperative solutions to
infrastructure, right-of-way easement and park needs between the City of
Eden Prairie and MAC regarding Flying Cloud Airport.
Rosow said the proposed resolution goes beyond the final agreement, which
states essentially the City shall not oppose the expansion of the airport. The
expansion of the airport includes the parallel runways, development of
property for new hangar construction, acquisition of additional property,
and minor changes in their proposed capital improvements. The Final
Agreement says the City shall not take action as a City to oppose that
expansion.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
June 5,2007
Page 11
Rosow said the proposed resolution goes beyond that and states the City of
Eden Prairie cannot and will not support or oppose plans for development at
Flying Cloud Airport. He said the Final Agreement says nothing about
supporting development, therefore he determined the proposed resolution
breaks new ground. The language of the proposed resolution causes concern
because of the Memorandum of Understanding. The Memorandum of
Understanding has built into it certain aspects of cooperation between the
City and MAC regarding the improvement of the infrastructure that serves
both the City and MAC and eventually would serve some of the new areas
if and when MAC expands. In that regard, the proposed resolution goes
counter to the Memorandum of Understanding because it is very easy to
interpret the proposed resolution to say the City would not take actions that
it had contemplated taking in the Memorandum of Understanding.
Rosow said the proposed resolution would be ill-advised because of the
potential that it would prohibit the City from doing what the Memorandum
of Understanding understood was to happen. The last paragraph of the
proposed resolution states the City would not take any action to repeal the
resolution without making good faith efforts to notify, meet, and discuss
with residents. The problem in that portion is the notion of"good faith
efforts,"which is a concept similar to the issue discussed earlier tonight
regarding aesthetics. He said the City is bound by State statutes to give
proper notice regarding certain types of action. At certain times the Council
has given specific instructions to staff to go beyond those instructions. He
thought it is ill-advised to have a"good faith" standard because that is left
to interpretation. The City is governed by State law in this regard and State
law is the guide. That portion of the proposed resolution also attempts to
bind the hands of the Council in a manner it should not be bound. The
Council should not adopt a resolution that limits its authority to act in the
best interests of the entire city, and the Council should have objective
standards by which you notify people and objective standards by which you
are judged as to whether deliberations are appropriate.
Butcher said residents have been very concerned and they want to be secure
about what was stated in the agreements. She asked if it would make sense
to have a resolution that would echo the Final Agreement as a statement
regarding what this City stands behind. Rosow replied he would see nothing
objectionable in that; however, there have been some changes in the method
by which the Memorandum of Understanding is being carried out and we
would want to look at those. He would not want to bind the City to things
that are impossible to do, and there are many things that have been
accomplished and are done.

Rodney Rue Award Contract for Technology Dr.
Public Works/Engineering Streetscape/Landscape Project
Requested Action
Move to: Award Contract for Technology Dr. Streetscape/Landscape Project to Hoffman&
McNamara, in the amount of$283,491.70.
Synopsis
Bids for this project were received on June 14, 2007. Four bids were received and are tabulated
on the attached Summary of bids. The bid from North Metro Landscaping, Inc. was un-
responsive and therefore rejected, since it only provided bid prices on two of the seven sections
of the bid proposal. The lowest responsible bid was received from Hoffman & McNamara, in
the amount of$283,491.70, which is 13% above the Engineer's Estimate of$250,000.
The total budget for this project is $280,000, which includes the $250,000 construction estimate
plus consulting fees of$30,000. In addition, costs will be incurred for irrigation system
extensions, modifications, and repairs to private systems. These costs are being negotiated
through the property owner's irrigation contractors. With the actual bid amount exceeding our
construction estimate, we propose to use "demonstration money" from the Water Surcharge
Funds to finance the unique irrigation features to be used on this project. Therefore, this project
is proposed to be financed with $133,000 of available funds from the Mitchell Road and
Technology Drive project, $150,000 from the 2007 CIP and approximately $40,000 to $50,000
from the Water Surcharge Fund.
Background Information
This project will provide tree replacement, landscaping, streetscape features, and irrigation
improvements along Technology Drive. The Mitchell Road and Technology Drive project,
completed in 2006, included streetscape and landscape features. These features were removed
from that road construction contract with staff committing to review these elements and to
prepare a plan that creates a more "walkable communities" standard.

Move to: Approve the Annual Report for the Phase II NPDES Storm Water Permit Program.
Synopsis
The City of Eden Prairie is required to submit an Annual Report to the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency documenting how the City progressed on the Best Management Practices (BMPs) outlined
in our Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
Background Information
The City's SWPPP was developed in April 2003 and revised in June 2006. The SWPPP provides a
series of Best Management Practices (BMPs) which the City must undertake to assist in improving
water quality within the City. The SWPPP is currently being reviewed by the MPCA and will be
public noticed at the state level before it is completed.
The Annual Report provides the MPCA with the actions that the City took in 2006 to meet the goals
outlined in our BMPs. The Annual Report will be posted on the Environment & Water Resources
section on the City's web site along with the SWPPP and BMP Summary Sheets.

Group, Inc. for the TH 212/Charlson
Road Improvement Project.
Requested Action
Move to: Approve Additional Construction Inspection Budget with SRF Consulting Group,
Inc. for the TH 212/Charlson Road Improvement Project.
Synopsis
SRF is requesting an additional $9,700 construction inspection budget for the TH 212 / Charlson
Road Improvement project. The request is a result of the additional work they performed in
developing special turf establishment recommendations and performing the construction
inspection.
Background Information
The additional budget request is the result of the work necessary to develop and implement
additional restoration measures on the project. The original restoration did not result in
acceptable vegetation establishment over significant portions of the project. In order to complete
and close out the construction project additional restoration work was required.
The original Professional Services Agreement with SRF was for $384,020, which included
approximately $200,000 for construction inspection. In March 2006 the City Council approved
an additional $25,000 for the extra work SRF performed to effectively coordinate and oversee
the construction project
The TH 212 / Charlson Road Intersection Improvement Project included constructing the TH
212 / Charlson Road intersection with turn lanes, installing a new traffic signal, constructing a
second westbound through lane on TH 212 and constructing a pedestrian underpass.
Financial Implications
The TH 212 / Charlson Road Intersection Improvement Project is financed by special
assessment. The revised construction inspection budget is within the total budget established for
the levied assessments.

In accordance with the terms of the Contract, you are hereby authorized to perform the improvements
as described below:
1. Remove and Replace 3" Concrete Median: Approximately 60 square feet of concrete median
west of Charlson Road was damaged due to extreme weather conditions. Payment for this item
was determined on negotiated unit prices.
2. Miscellaneous Areas of Erosion: Several areas identified on the project needed correction due
mainly to the nature of the sandy soils. Payment for this item was determined on negotiated
unit prices.
3. Application of Compost Material and Growing Medium to Foster Turf Establishment and
Correct Erosion Issues: Compost material that included seed and fertilizer was spread in a
2" layer at locations identified by 'the Engineer. Volume indicated for compost application
totaled 450 cubic yards. Prior to application of the compost material, herbicide spray was
applied to the south side of TH 212. Lane closures were required to perform this work. A unit
price has been added for watering, and is to be used on an as needed basis only.
4. Place Grouted Rip Rap CL III and Aggregate Shouldering Material: An additional 6.82 cubic
yards of Class 3 rip rap material was placed at the east side of an existing CMP culvert inlet
located on the far westerly end of the project (north side of TH 212). The existing rip rap
material at this location, as well as the newly placed rip rap, was grouted with concrete to hold
it in place. This work was done to correct and prevent undermining of the rip rap material.
A total of 4.73 cubic yards of Class 5 aggregate shouldering material was placed in a 2' to 3'
width along the newly constructed westbound TH 212 shoulder to correct erosion issues that
have developed within the last couple of years.

Rod,
Attached is a pdf file of an earned value curve for the subject project.The three lines represent the
projected cumulative dollars, expenditures,and our opinion of the amount of the project that is complete
along the time line from October 2006 to July 2008.
11-30-06 PlanTrax Version 3.3.pdf
As you can see from the file,the percent complete line is slightly ahead of the expenditures spent through
the end of November.Two tasks included in the expenditures, but not in the projected cumulative dollars
are the existing sanitary sewer exploration by pot holes and the investigation of a bridge including
abutment locations and required deck elevation.
If towards the completion of this project,the expenditures are exceeding the projected cumulative total ,
we would ask for a change order.
Please call if you have any questions.

• Waive the requirement that the Non-Collusion Affidavit be submitted with the bid
Synopsis
The Facilities Division requested sealed bids for the above project on April 12, 2007. Bids were
collected and opened on April 27, 2007. Staff is recommending that the requirement that the
Non-Collusion Affidavit be submitted with the bid be waived since the affidavit was submitted
by Minnesota Roadways Co. shortly after bid opening. The bid results were as follows:
Company Base Bid Alternate Bids Total Budget
(G1, G8)
Minnesota Roadways Co. $60,350 $69,350 $129,700 $143,500
Midwest Asphalt Corp. $72,200 $80,100 $152,300
Northwest Asphalt $65,950 $79,075 $145,025
Background Information
The parking lots are in need of repair or replacement. Wherever possible, the Facilities Division
and EPI re-used the old asphalt and base to keep the cost of the project down. Most of the
asphalt slated for replacement is over 20 years old and has had minimum preventive
maintenance.

Alan Gray Approve Plans and Specifications and
Public Works/Engineering Order Advertisement for Bids for
Pioneer Trail Storm Sewer
Improvements
Requested Action
Move to: Adopt resolution approving plans and specifications and ordering advertisement
for bids for Pioneer Trail Storm Sewer Improvements.
Synopsis
With assistance of Hennepin County Public Works, the Engineering Division has prepared plans
and specifications for a segment of storm sewer that will serve the new Pioneer Trail
improvements adjacent to Flying Cloud field that is scheduled for construction in 2008. This
segment of storm sewer is scheduled for construction in 2007 across commercial property in the
northwest quadrant of Pioneer Trail and Flying Cloud Drive, currently under development, to
reduce restoration cost and inconvenience to the developer.
Background Information
Hennepin County is currently developing the construction plans for Pioneer Trail (CSAH1)
between Flying Cloud Drive and Gateway Lane. The need for a storm sewer across property in
the northwest quadrant of Flying Cloud Drive and Pioneer Trail has been identified. United
Properties is currently developing this site as Office/Showroom in accordance with their
Development Agreement dated April 17, 2007. The permanent easements for the storm sewer
have been dedicated on the plat. Temporary construction easements will be provided as
stipulated in the Development Agreement. Construction of the storm sewer segment through this
property in 2007 will avoid the necessity of disturbing new landscaping and site improvements
being placed by United Properties later this year.
Financial Considerations
Project cost is estimated as $125,000 for construction and engineering services. Costs will be
shared with Hennepin County, in accordance with their adopted policies for County
improvement projects. The final City share will be financed from stormwater utility funds. The
City will initially finance Hennepin County's share and be reimbursed through the Cooperative
Construction Agreement for the overall project.

Eugene A. Dietz Approve Contract with the State of
Public Works Minnesota for ICWC program
Requested Action
Move to: Adopt resolution approving contract with the State of Minnesota for the Institution
Community Work Crew (ICWC) in the amount of$116,754.00 for the period
beginning July 1, 2007, and ending June 30, 2009.
Synopsis
The City of Eden Prairie has contracted with the State of Minnesota for the ICWC program since
1996. This has been a very cost-effective staffing alternative to meet seasonal peak demand as
well as routine projects that supplements our staffing levels during the off seasons.
Background Information
In 1996, when we began to utilize the ICWC program, we contracted for two days per week. In
2001, we increased the contract to three 10-hour work days per week. Typically, we receive up
to ten (10) offender crewmembers and a crew leader. The program is set up to pay the salary and
benefits for the crew leader, communications equipment, modest supplies and travel costs. The
contract for the next two-year period is being increased by approximately 7.4 % over the past
two-year contract, but still represents a tremendous value for the City. 67% of this cost is
budgeted for in the Street Division and 33% in the Utilities Enterprise Fund. The '08 / '09
budget proposes to add a fourth day to the contract and will result in an addendum to this
Agreement, if approved.
The ICWC program has become an integral part of our staffing plan and staff recommends that
the contract be approved for an additional two years, ending June 30, 2009.

Community Development Approve a Professional Services
Janet Jeremiah, Community Agreement with SRF Consulting to
Development Director prepare a Town Center Streetscape Master Plan
Requested Action
Move to: Approve a professional services agreement with SRF Consulting Group, Inc. to prepare
a Streetscape Master Plan for the Town Center area of Eden Prairie for a cost not to exceed
$55,143.
Synopsis
Barry Warner of SRF Consulting Group, Inc. proposes to work with City staff and area property
owners on the preparation of a Streetscape Master Plan for the town center portion of the Major
Center Area.
Background Information
The Major Center Area Study was approved by the City Council in January 2006 as an advisory
tool for future redevelopment and public improvements in the Prairie Center Drive/Valley View
"ring road" area. In response to public input, the study recommends developing a compact,
walkable town center in the Singletree Lane/Hwy 212 area.
Development of the town center is proceeding with the Windsor Plaza/Bobby& Steve's phase
one project. The redevelopment project will include upgrade of Singletree Lane to four full lanes
with new streetscape amenities. Windsor Plaza will be special assessed for the improvements.
The phase one property owners will petition the City to establish a Special Service District to
govern long-term high-quality maintenance of the improvements at the adjacent property
owner's expense. The board of the Special Services District will include the affected property
owners.
SRF Consulting Group is proposing to work with staff and Town Center area property owners to
develop a Streetscape Master Plan. The plan would include design and material selection for the
Singletree Lane streetscape as well as the future north-south roadway and an additional model
cross street in the town center. Cost estimates would be prepared.
The proposed contract also includes drafting a description of the Special Services District, its
establishment and operating principles. The draft plans would be presented to the Chamber of
Commerce and the Planning Commission or perhaps a joint meeting with the City Council.

SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROPOSAL FOR TOWN CENTER AREA STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN
EDEN PRAIRIE,MINNESOTA
Based on your request, we are pleased to submit this proposal to provide professional services to
complete the Town Center Area Streetscape Master Plan.
The Streetscape Master Plan will be an important tool for project stakeholders including City policy
makers and staff, property owners, businesses and future area developers. The plan will provide a
decision-making framework to guide public and private investments in streetscape and urban design
elements. Of particular interest will be the selection and layout of streetscape elements including
lighting, furniture, and boulevard trees. Representative street and sidewalk cross-sections will
provide a dimensioned allocation of the available right-of-way and its relationship to private sector
building edge.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
We propose to carry out the work as described in the enclosed Attachment A: Scope of Services.
ASSUMPTIONS
It is assumed that the City will make available base mapping and relevant studies or policies related
to the project area. In addition, staff from various departments will participate in evaluating
alternatives presented by SRF and in soliciting input from private sector stakeholders. It is assumed
that Community Development will serve as the primary interface with other stakeholders internal and
external to the City.
Work completed by SRF will build upon previous planning studies completed for the study area
including the Major Center Area Study (SRF) and the Town Center Design Guidelines (HKGi).
Current development initiatives presented to the City by private developers will be taken into
consideration.
SCHEDULE
We will complete this work within a mutually agreed-upon time schedule. We estimate that the work
will require 4 to 6 months contingent upon the extent and timing of stakeholder input.

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.
Based on our understanding of the project and our Scope of Services, we estimate the cost of our
services to be $55,143, which includes both time and expenses. 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.

Request for:
Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 3.96 acres; Planned Unit
Development District Review on 3.96 acres; Zoning District Amendment
in the Commercial Regional Service Zoning District on 3.96 acres; Site
Plan Review on 3.96 acres.
Brian Cluts, representing Lariat Companies, said the proposed addition is
a mirror image of the building that is already located on the property. Mr.
Cluts pointed out the site elevations would be the same as the existing
building, as well as the outside materials. There would also be a skyway
between the two buildings.
Stoelting asked about the location of the trash receptacles and the
accessibility of these locations. Mr. Cluts pointed out the locations of the
trash receptacles and said the one for the new facility would be totally
screened off. He did say when they collect the trash, the receptacle would
have to be rolled out of its location in order to be emptied.
Stoelting asked Franzen to review the staff report. Franzen said the Staff
recommends approval based on pages 2 and 3 of the staff report.
Stoelting opened the meeting up for public input. There was no input.
Seymour said he has some concerns about the placement of the trash
receptacle and said it would be difficult for them to roll it out in order to
empty it. Mr. Cluts said there is no other option than what they are doing
because of the space limitations.
Pitzrick asked if they could start to incorporate some of the Town Center
features in this area. Franzen said that first of all, these are two-story
buildings, which are a different appearance than the Town Center area,
and also there is a lack of outdoor seating space. Pitzrick suggested
incorporating light poles like the Town Center Area has. Franzen said the
Town Center project is not far enough along to ask this project to
incorporate those changes. Stoelting asked the project proponent to
address the issue of outdoor seating. Mr. Cluts said the current outdoor
seating for the former restaurant would stay the same as it is now.
MOTION by Stoltz, seconded by Seymour to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 5-0.
MOTION by Stoltz, seconded by Seymour, to recommend approval of the
Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 3.96 acres; Planned Unit
Development District Review on 3.96 acres; Zoning District Amendment

BACKGROUND
This site is part of the Wilson Learning Center PUD approved in 1986 for office use. The
Comprehensive Guide Plan shows the site as Office and is zoned Office. Surrounding land uses
consist of High Density Residential to the north, Open Space and High Density Residential to
the east, Office to the south, and Industrial to the west. Twenty-thousand square feet of office
was anticipated for this property as part of the Wilson Learning Center PUD.
This plan was amended in 2004 for the Hilltop Town Offices, a plan for five town office suites
totaling 39,749 sq. ft.
SITE PLAN
The site plan shows a 3 story 107,000 square foot office building. The plan meets the required
building setbacks,parking setbacks,base area and floor area requirements for office zoning.
The plan meets the required parking of 449 spaces.
ACCESS
Staff Report—Wilson Ridge Office 2007
May 18, 2007
Page 2
The plan is to remove the existing driveway access and relocate it to the northwest. The location
of the new driveway is dependant on appropriate sight lines. If appropriate sight lines cannot be
provided then substantial changes will be needed to the site plan.
The driveway width should be widened to 40 feet to accommodate two outbound lanes. The
driveway should also be realigned so that it intersects Flying Cloud Drive at a 90 degree angle.
ARCHITECTURE
The exterior materials for the building are pre cast and glass. Windows are 40% of the building
exterior. Pre cast is 60 % of the exterior walls. Pre cast may be used on a buildings exterior not
to exceed 25% of the building. An exterior materials waiver is required. The photo in the plans
is not the actual building. It is a photo of a building in Milwaukee that is similar to what is
being proposed for this project site.
The building is 43 feet tall. The office zoning district limits building height to 30 feet. This is a
waiver.
SHORELAND CODE
The property is in a shoreland area since it is located within 300 feet of Nine Mile Creek. The
creek is classified as General Development Water. Lots within 150 feet of the creek are
considered abutting lots and must meet the following requirements for Office sites.
• Minimum lot size—2 acres
• Minimum lot width at building line - 150 feet
• Minimum lot width at Ordinary High Water Level— 150 feet
• Minimum setback from Ordinary High Water Level— 150 feet
The project meets these requirements.
Additional requirements within a shoreland area include:
• No development or alteration permitted on a bluff,which is a slope that averages 30% or
greater. Bluff exists along the east side of the property. Alteration is proposed in this area.
This item is discussed further in the PUD waiver section of this report.
SIGNS
Staff Report—Wilson Ridge Office 2007
May 18, 2007
Page 3
The project narrative indicates a proposal for 3 signs:
• Sign A- 100 square foot sign at the driveway entrance.Both signs are off site identification
signs and require a waiver.
• Sign B-70 square foot monument sign at the intersection of Valley View Road and Flying
Cloud Drive.
• Sign C -40 square foot direction sign.
All signs identify the 7500 and 7480 buildings. All signs are located on the 7480 property
(proposed building) meaning 7500 on the 7480 sign is an offsite sign.
The City code allows a building having one street frontage, a 50 square foot, 8 foot high sign,
20 feet from any street right of way. If there are two or more street frontages, each additional
frontage may have one 36 square foot sign. Directional signs are allowed up to a total of 36
square feet with each sign not exceeding 6 square feet.
The project site has two frontages and can have a 50 sf and a 36 sf sign
The 7500 building has frontage on Valley View Road and Highway 212, but not Flying Cloud
Drive. This site has no signs on either frontage.
The proposed signs do not meet the required 20 foot setback.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS
The following Planned Unit Development waivers are proposed for the project:
1. To permit development on a shoreland bluff. City code does not permit development or
alteration on a shoreland bluff This waiver may have merit since this bluff was manmade
as a result of grading of the property when the Wilson Learning Center was built. This was
prior to the shoreland bluff requirement.
2. Exterior materials from 75% face brick, glass, and natural stone to 40%
The City has previous granted waivers for the use of pre cast provide a natural stone chip is
exposed on the surface so that the material appears as stone. The building on the adjacent
parcel is a pre cast panel with granite chip. The proposed panel has a granite chips.
3. Building height from 30 feet to 43 feet.
The City has previously granted waivers for building height for office buildings when
they are located along major highways and/or in location of higher intensity users. The 30
foot office height is appropriate in areas adjacent to low density residential development.
Staff Report—Wilson Ridge Office 2007
May 18, 2007
Page 4
4. Sign size from 50 square feet to 100 square feet. Sign size from 36 square feet to 72
square feet. Directional sign size from 6 square feet to 40 square feet. No offsite sign to
three off site signs.
Since the 7500 building and the proposed office (7480) share one access and since both sites
have no other driveway access, it would be appropriate to consider a shared sign(Sign A) at
100 square feet, a shared sign(Sign B) at 72 square feet, and a shared directional sign (Sign
C) at 40 square feet..
Signs A and B are in the right of way and need to be relocated to the required 20 foot setback.
LANDSCAPING- TREE REPLACEMENT
Landscaping is required based on total building size for a total of 331 inches. The plan meets
the landscaping requirements. All landscaped areas shall be irrigated.
There are 1093 diameter inches of significant trees on the property. Most of these trees were
planted as part of the landscape and tree replacement requirements for the Wilson building on
the adjacent parcel.
The required tree replacement is 1,415 inches. The plan does not meet this requirement. The
tree replacement requirement can be satisfied by increasing the size of the proposed landscaping
on the project site and plant additional trees in the open areas on the adjoining property. See
attachment A.
LIGHTING
Since the site is adjacent to residential areas, all site lighting shall be restricted to downcast cut-
off shoebox fixtures not to exceed 20 feet in height.
UTILITIES AND DRAINAGE
Sanitary sewer and water will serve the site from lines in Flying Cloud Drive.
Storm water will be treated onsite to NURP standards. A combination of ponds, an underground
storage system and rainwater gardens will be utilized to achieve storm water quality and quantity
requirements. Infiltration will be provided with the use of rain gardens as well as the underground
storage system which will have an open bottom to promote infiltration. The plan should be revised to
provide treatment for the future proof of parking areas as impervious surfaces.
SIDEWALKS
A five-foot sidewalk is proposed along the east side of the entrance drive connecting to the public
Staff Report—Wilson Ridge Office 2007
May 18, 2007

Request for:
Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 6.89 acres; Planned Unit
Development District Review on 6.89 acres; Zoning District Amendment
in the Office Zoning District on 6.89 acres; Site Plan Review on 6.89
acres.
Gary Dreher, of Told Development Company, gave a summary of the
proposal and also showed a site plan of the project. This is a 6.89 acre site
which Told Development Company owns. They would like to propose a
three story office building with a basement to be included on this site. He
showed the building footprint and the different accesses into the site and
pointed out there would be a large storm water retention pond on the
property. There would also be surface parking which will include 120
stalls. This would also be a heavily landscaped site. Mr. Dreher showed
the various elevations of the building. He pointed out the north elevation
will face the parking lot. The outside material will be high quality pre-cast
with granite chips in it, which they will be asking for a waiver. He
showed a sample of the base chip and said the amount and quality of the
aggregate is very high. Mr. Dreher briefly identified the proposed waivers
for the project which included building materials, shoreland code, building
height and signs. Stoelting asked Mr. Dreher if he had any graphics of the
sign. Franzen pointed out the graphics are included in the staff report.
Stoelting asked Mr. Dreher to discuss tree replacement. Mr. Dreher said
they are working with Staff and the owners next to them to accommodate
tree replacement.
Stoelting asked Franzen to review the staff report. Franzen said there are
five items on the staff report the project proponent should complete prior
to review by the City Council. He said in regards to the waivers, they
comply with the material waiver. In regards to the height of the building,
the one next to it is taller, so this should not be a problem in granting this
waiver. In regards to signage, Franzen pointed out this is a shared access
property and because of that it is better to have bigger signage.
Stoelting opened the meeting up for public input. There was no input.
Pitzrick asked if they are pursuing LEED Certification. Mr. Dreher said
some of the things on the site should be LEED friendly and said the tree
replacement would be an example of this. Pitzrick asked why they are
using pre-cast on top of the building. Mr. Dreher said they like the
architectural feature that comes from using this material.
Seymour asked Franzen if there would be a tenant sign on the building.
Franzen pointed out that he was unsure but said they are entitled to two-50
sq. ft. signs on either side of the building.
MOTION by Pitzrick, seconded by Seymour, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 5-0.
MOTION by Pitzrick, seconded by Seymour, to recommend approval of
the Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 6.89 acres; Planned
Unit Development District Review on 6.89 acres; Zoning District

Review on 6.89 acres based on plans stamped dated May 17, 2007, and the

Eden Prairie City Manager
Eden Prairie City Center
8080 Mitchell Rd.
Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Re: Proposed occupancy by AlliantTechsystems of new development at 7480 Flying
Cloud Drive, Eden Prairie, MN
Dear Mr. Neal:
We would like to take this opportunity to express our concerns regarding the occupancy
of the proposed new office development at 7480 Flying Cloud Drive by
AlliantTechsystems ("ATK"). While we are not opposed to the proposed building by
Told Development or the tenancy by ATK, we do have major concerns about the issues
that come with ATK. Our main concern is the long history of disruptive and antagonistic
protests against ATK at the entrances of their current offices in Edina and former offices
in Hopkins by the civil resistance group AlliantAction. The ingress/egress for the office
building already existing at 7500 Flying Cloud Drive will be shared with the building
currently proposed to house ATK at 7480 Flying Cloud Drive pursuant to a shared
ingress easement.
With our purchase of 7500 Flying Cloud Drive in October of 2006, we understood the
easement restraints that went along with the property. We have worked with the owner
of the development site at 7480 Flying Cloud Drive, Told Development, over the past six
weeks to compromise on a relocation of the existing entrance to our property that will
accommodate Told's desire to better utilize their site in order to build a new office
building thereon. However, upon learning of the prospective tenant, ATK, and their long
and troubled relationship with AlliantAction we feel that a shared entrance between the
two properties would be detrimental to the ability of the Eden Prairie police department
to control the weekly protests that will occur in the shared access road to both 7480 and
7500 Flying Cloud Drive. It will also be detrimental to the safety of the tenants, suppliers
and visitors of 7500 Flying Cloud Drive as well as the AlliantAction protestors
themselves.
It seems that the strategy of AlliantAction is to be as disruptive as possible in order to
bring attention to themselves and their cause. On their website currently is an "invitation"
to join in the scheduled June 20 protest at ATK's current headquarters. Protestors are
encouraged to "bring a drum or plastic bucket" apparently in an effort to create as much
300 South Wacker Drive • Suite 3550 ■ Chicago, IL 60606 • (312)786-0055 • FAX(312)786-0285
noise and disruption as they can. These types of tactics have effects on the entire
community; from taking up valuable law enforcement resources to clogging the judicial
systems and decreasing productivity of neighboring businesses. In March of 2005 the
City of Edina apparently was so concerned that they had to change their trespassing
ordinance in order to address the problems from these protests.
According to Alliant Action's website www.alliantaction.org, as recently as October 2,
2006, seventy-four protestors (out of the over 270 present) were arrested as they tried to
enter the property through both building and parking garage entrances. Photos on the
website depict demonstrators blocking the street as well as the entrances to the building.
In some of the photos, many law enforcement officers were required to assist building
security in removing protestors from the site. The website takes pride in pointing out that
in the last ten years or so over 650 AlliantAction protestors have been arrested for civil
resistance at the ATK headquarters. The organization also prominently displays on its site
that it has been named the "Biggest Hellraiser of 2007"by City Pages magazine. We
have also spoken to the current ownership and management of the ATK corporate
headquarters at 5050 Lincoln Drive and both have indicated a history of vandalism at the
site. The vandalism includes broken windows and graffiti on the building signage which
is believed to be related to the protestors.
It is our concern that if the two properties share an entrance and it is routinely blocked by
the protestors at the ATK site, then tenants, their visitors and guests will not be able to
easily gain access to the 7500 Flying Cloud Drive property. In addition, we are not sure
that any amount of signage will separate the two properties and therefore, protestors may
unfairly target 7500 Flying Cloud Drive.
Given these possibilities we would ask the City Council to consider taking steps to
minimize the impact these protestors will have on 7500 Flying Cloud Drive and its
entrance. We appreciate you taking into consideration the uniqueness of this situation and
taking whatever reasonable efforts you can to minimize the adverse impacts it may have
on others in the community.
Sincerely,
orn mg

Randy Newton Appointments to the Community
Public Works/Engineering Advisory Committee for the Southwest
Transitway
Requested Action
Move to: Approve appointment of ,
, and
as Members to the Community Advisory Committee for the
Southwest Transitway.
Synopsis
The Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority(HCRRA) is forming a Community
Advisory Committee (CAC)to participate in and provide community feedback during the
Southwest Transitway Draft Environmental Impact Statement(DEIS). The HCRRA is
requesting the City designate six (6) members to the Community Advisory Committee.
Background
The HCCRA is beginning work on the Southwest Transitway DEIS. The DEIS will build on the
recently completed Alternatives Analysis Study which recommended three light rail transit
(LRT)routes for further study. The DEIS is expected to identify a single route as the Locally
Preferred Alternative and is anticipated to take approximately two years to complete.
The HCCRA is establishing the CAC to help increase the level of community involvement and
participation in the DEIS process. The purpose of the Southwest Transitway CAC is to provide
an open forum for discussion of community issues, provide a forum for educating the community
on the potential benefits/impacts and potential mitigation measures associated with LRT
implementation, and finally to provide guidance to the Southwest Transitway Policy Advisory
Committee (PAC) as they conduct the DEIS. The Southwest Transitway CAC is expected to
meet bi-monthly on the fourth Wednesday of that month from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at St. Louis Park
City Hall. The first meeting of the CAC is tentatively scheduled for July 25tn
The total membership to the CAC is expected to be 25 with the City of Eden Prairie being
designated six (6) representatives. The number of representatives is based on the proposed
station locations in each City. Although the City has discretion in selecting its representatives
the HCRRA has indicated that they would like to have representation for each station area.
In selecting appointments to the CAC staff provides the following general suggestions for
representation:
• City West Parkway or United Health Group Business Representative
• Golden Triangle Area Business Representative (or employee)
• Major Center Area Resident
• Southwest Metro Commuter
• Technology Drive (Eaton)Business Representative or at-large resident
• Resident from neighborhood adjacent to HCRRA Corridor
• At-large Resident/Eden Prairie Planning Board Member
At this time, Denny Spalla with UHG is the only person to express interest to staff to serve on
the Committee.
The attached draft letter from Hennepin County and its associated attachments provide additional
information on the CAC.

RE: Formation of the Southwest Transitway Community Advisory Committee
Dear •
The Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority (HCRRA) in partnership with the cities
of Eden Prairie, Edina, Minnetonka, Hopkins, St. Louis Park, and Minneapolis, recently
completed an Alternatives Analysis (AA) for the proposed Southwest Transitway. The AA
resulted in a recommendation to conduct a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)
for three candidate light rail transit (LRT) routes in order to narrow them to one route,
which would be identified as the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) and would pursue
federal funding.
As we move into the DEIS process, we want to increase the level of community
involvement and participation. To do this, a Southwest Transitway Community Advisory
Committee (CAC) is being established The purpose of the Southwest Transitway CAC is
to provide an open forum for discussion of community issues, provide a forum for
educating the community on the potential benefits/impacts and potential mitigation
measures associated with LRT implementation, and finally to provide guidance to the
Southwest Transitway Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) as they conduct the DEIS process
and narrow the LRT routes to a preferred route.
To form the Southwest Transitway CAC, I am asking that you appoint X representative(s)
to serve. The Southwest Transitway CAC is expected to meet bi-monthly throughout the
DEIS process, which is estimated to be conducted in two years. Please see the attached
Southwest Transitway CAC Charter and Membership for more details.
The first Southwest Transitway CAC meeting is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday,
July 25th from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at the St. Louis Park City Hall. Please forward the
contact information for your Southwest Transitway CAC members to Katie Walker at
Katie.walker@co.hennepin.mn.us or 612.348-2190.
Thank you in advance for helping to assemble this important committee. I look forward
to continuing to work with you and your community as we develop the Southwest LRT
line, which will be a significant asset to our community and the region.
Sincerely,
Commissioner Gail Dorfman

Submittal of a project for inclusion in the 2008
Scott H. Neal, City Manager State Bonding Bill
Requested Action
Move to: Authorize staff to prepare and submit a public project to the State for consideration for
inclusion in the 2008 State Bonding Bill and to authorize a consulting agreement with Brauer&
Associates for not more than $40,000 to assist in the preparation of the submission document.
Synopsis
I am proposing the City submit a request for funds from the proposed 2008 State Bonding Bill
for a major renovation and improvement project at Camp Eden Wood. In order for a project to
be considered for the State Bonding Bill, it must meet four constitutional tests:
1. The project for which the bonds are to be issued must be publicly owned
2. The project must be a capital expenditure
3. The project must be a public purpose
4. The purpose for which the bonds are to be issued must be clearly set forth in the law
The project includes the removal of existing buildings; the construction of new two new
dormitory buildings; renovation of the old Dining Hall; general landscaping improvements; and
the addition of an office/interpretive center. The completed project would continue to be owned
by the City and leased to Friendship Ventures for its current use. The bonding bill funds would
fund the proposed capital improvements of this project. The project would serve the
developmental, educational and recreational needs of disabled citizens, which is a public purpose
in Minnesota. Finally, the public funding of programs for developmentally disabled citizens is
clearly set forth in Minnesota State Statutes.
I have discussed the concept for this project with Friendship Ventures. They are interested in
working with the City on the design of the project and the submission of the bonding bill
proposal. The State has established an initial deadline of June 25 for the submission of potential
2008 bonding bill projects. The initial submission must be authorized by the local government
hosting project,but the project does not need to be completely developed at the time of the initial
submission. I am requesting the Council to grant staff the authorization to prepare an initial
submission in order to make the June 25 deadline and to prepare a more detailed plan, including
any financial commitments required for this project, for Council review in August.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE:
SECTION: Report of the Community Development Director June 19, 2007
DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: ITEM DESCRIPTION: ITEM NO.: XIV.C.1
Community Development: Town Center Design Guidelines and
Janet Jeremiah Ordinance Update
Requested Action
No action required.
Synopsis
The Town Center Guidelines and Zoning Ordinance are intended to implement the Major Center
Area Study land use and planning principles.
Background Information
The Major Center Area(MCA) Study was adopted by the City Council on January 17, 2006 as
an advisory tool. One of the principal recommendations of the study reflected the community's
interest in a compact,walkable town center west of Flying Cloud Drive between Technology
Drive and Regional Center Road.
On August 15, 2006, the City Council amended the Comprehensive Plan to add the town center
as a new land use description and to reference its location on the map. Text was also added
referencing the MCA Study and the city's interest in higher-density mixed use redevelopment in
this area. However, the underlying land use guiding and zoning remained in effect.
During a Comprehensive Planning workshop with the Planning Commission on July 18, 2006,
the City Council expressed an interest in adopting more prescriptive regulations for the town
center while retaining more flexibility in the remainder of the MCA. On November 2, 2006, the
Council approved a contract with HKGI and BKV Group to develop town center design
guidelines and a mixed use zoning ordinance for the town center area.
Over the past seven months, the consultants have been working with staff and the Planning
Commission to complete the guidelines and ordinance. The consultant team developed a visual
preference survey for the Planning Commission to provide valuable feedback about desirable
development patterns, streetscapes, signage, lighting, and building aesthetics. On May 22, 2007,
the consultants presented a draft of the guidelines and ordinance to the Planning Commission and
received additional feedback.
Greg Ingraham from HKGI and Bill Baxley from BKV will be available during the June 19th
meeting to present the draft guidelines and ordinance. They will update the Council regarding
outstanding issues and request any Council comments prior to initiating the formal review
process.

DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: ITEM DESCRIPTION: ITEM NO.: XIV.D.1. '
Jay Lotthammer, Director
Parks and Recreation Community Center Walking Track
Requested Action
Move to: Authorize staff and Construction Manager to initiate the walking track portion of the Community
Center project.
Synopsis
At the March 20, 2007 City Council Meeting, the City Council elected to defer the decision to approve the
walking track component of the Community Center bids and directed staff to research the potential for grant
funding through Blue Cross, Blue Shield. Since that time, staff has learned from Blue Cross, Blue Shield that
their grant money is intended for planning initiatives related to health and wellness and not available for capital
or construction projects. Staff also investigated the availability of State of Minnesota grant funds. Currently,
there are no immediate funds available through the State of Minnesota and once the new funding cycle is
available, it is uncertain if adequate funds will become available.
Staff has also had the opportunity to research other walking tracks. The attached survey highlights information
from several similar types of tracks located in nearby communities.
The results from the 2005 Eden Prairie Community Center Survey indicated that 47% felt the addition of an
indoor walking track would benefit them. Based on the 2005 Eden Prairie Parks and Recreation Survey,
71% favored the indoor walking track as an item for expansion.
The bids for the walking track portion of the project continue to be in effect. With the exception of the sport
flooring, all contractors are under contract for other portions of the building. These contracts stipulate agreed
upon prices for the addition of the walking track and would be brought to the City Council as a change order/
addition to the contract. The sport flooring contract has yet to be awarded and would also be brought to the City
Council for approval at a later date.
If this portion of the project is authorized,this item will be included in the current Community Center project and
managed by the construction manager. In addition to costs efficiencies,no additional disruption to operations
would occur. If this item were to be delayed to a future date or a future year, it is likely that the overall costs
would be higher and the construction oversight would become an additional cost. There would also be a need to
construct a safety railing over the storage area that would cost an additional $40,000. In addition, if the project is
undertaken at a future date, it would likely disrupt the operation due to its proximity to the ice sheet.

Re: Eden Prairie Community Center
Walking Track Alternate
Dear Jay,
On March 15, 2007 bids were received by the City of Eden Prairie for the Eden
Prairie Community Center Expansion and Renovation. These bids included
amounts for various bid alternates. Bid Alternate 3A for the Walking Track in Y
Rink II was one of these alternates, totaling an amount of$391,000.
In order to help ensure that the City of Eden Prairie had an appropriate amount of
time to review this alternate, the contractors were instructed to guarantee their bid
prices for period of 120 calendar days.
Therefore, the bid prices for the work of the walking track remain valid at this
time, should the City Council wish to award this work.
Please let us know if there is any further information that City of Eden Prairie
should need to make this decision.

Jay Lotthammer, Director Suggested Name Change for Purgatory Creek
Parks and Recreation Recreation Area
Requested Action
Move to: Receive the recommendations from the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission and officially change the name of Purgatory Creek Recreation Area to
Purgatory Creek Park.
Or
Move to: Receive the recommendations from the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission and officially change the name of Purgatory Creek Recreation Area to
(name selected by City Council).
Synopsis
At the January 16, 2007 City Council Meeting, the City Council moved to return the process of
renaming Purgatory Creek Recreation Area back to the Parks Commission to accept public comment
and develop a list of alternate names to submit to the City Council. The motion passed 5-0.
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission addressed the issue at the May 7, 2007
meeting. The Parks Commission considered the public perception of words such as; park, sanctuary,
conservation area and memorial along with the natural features and characteristics of the park(see
attached May 7, 2007 Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Minutes).
In order to give the City Council choices, the Parks Commission developed a list based on their
discussion and then voted on the names to determine an order of preference. The following is the list
of the names and the amount of votes received:
Suggested Name Number of Votes
Purgatory Creek Park 6
Purgatory Creek Conservation Area 3
Celebration Park 2
Purgatory Creek Memorial Park 1
Purgatory Creek Recreation Area 1
In addition to the re-naming discussion, the Parks Commission heard a presentation from Mr. Dan
Kitrell proposing that the lake area be named Lake Malaya. The response of the Parks Commission
was to focus on the naming of the entire area. There were also several comments recommending that

if the lake were to be named that naming it Lake Malaya was not appropriate for this setting (see

VI. REPORT OF PLANNING COMMISSION—April 9 and April 23, 2007
Fox reported that at the April 9 Planning Commission meeting the Commission focused on the
discretionary EAW for Prospect Road and accepted public comment. At the April 23 meeting the
Planning Commission recommended Option 6 for the alignment of Prospect Road; as proposed
in the Hennepin Village PUD approved approximately six years ago.
VII. PETITIONS,REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATION
A. SERVICE AREA REPORT—SENIOR CENTER AND ADULT PROGRAMS—
CARLA KRESS
Carla Kress, Recreation Coordinator, explained that she manages the Eden Prairie Senior
Center. She presented an overview of the Senior Center activities.
Elliott-Stoering asked if Kress had received any feedback from the seniors regarding a
walking track at the Community Center. Kress responded that many of the seniors have
indicated that they would love a walking track at the Community Center. Currently, they are
walking at the mall. Barrett asked if she was aware of any seniors using the walking track at
the high school. Kress said it was her understanding that not many seniors use the high
school walking track because they feel it is not accessible.
B. NAMING OR RE-NAMING OF PURGATORY CREEK RECREATION AREA
Lotthammer reported that they have received possible names for the Purgatory Creek
Recreation Area from several citizens. He also explained that the Commission does not have
to decide on a name this evening and that it can be brought back for further discussion at a
future meeting.
Brill explained that the Commission did make some suggestions to the City Council and the
Council considered them and decided to send the re-naming of the area back to this
Commission for additional research. This request was opened to the public for suggestions of
a possible name.
Dan Kittrell, 15731 Summit Drive, appeared before the Commission and said he appreciates
the opportunity to participate in this process. When reflecting upon the motto of this City, he
came up with the words live, work, and dream. A few must live to work; most must work to
live; but all must dream. Kittrell said it is their desire to name the lake Malaya Lake, after
their foster child who is now deceased. They feel this would be an appropriate and inclusive
memorial in support of parents who are working to fulfill at least some of the unrealized
dreams of their lost children. Also, Kittrell said as part of their proposal, they would consider
it a privilege to lead a fundraising effort to create a memorial that would be consistent with
the City's vision for this public space.
Oko asked if there are any existing signs at this location that would need to be changed once
a name is selected. Fox responded that currently they have two monument signs on the
PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
May 7, 2007
Page 3
corners above the reader boards that identify the area that would need to be changed. The
remaining park signs were purposely left without a name.
In response to a question from Barrett, Fox explained that when this item was before the City
Council, there was great discussion on whether or not they should name the lake and park
separately. As a result, staff recommended that they wait 90 days to make a decision and they
also recommended that anyone who wanted to submit names for the body of water and/or
lake should submit those names to the City. At that time, the City Council referred this item
back to this Commission for further discussion. Elliott-Stoering said she was in attendance at
that Council meeting and it was her impression that the Council did not care for the
Commission's recommendation, Prairie Lake. They felt there were too many existing park
names in the City including the word prairie.
Brill explained that they did discuss naming the park area separately from the lake. This is a
confusing area with the space that they have. Barrett said he would prefer not to have three
different names for this area. He suggested that they name the entire area and then consider
naming the lake. Elliott-Stoering pointed out that within the park they do have a veteran's
memorial and the Jean Harris Bridge as well as the Bob Lambert Pavilion. They already have
a situation where there are different names within that park.
Mackay suggested that they name the whole area Purgatory Creek Sanctuary. He also
suggested that they start with naming the entire area and then go from there. They can name
the lake at some future time.Napuck said that based on the suggestions and comments they
have received, it seems that the words Purgatory Creek should be included in the title.
Brill said he does have a conflict with the name Malaya Lake as proposed by Kittrell. The
loss of their foster child is a tragic situation and this park and area with all of the different
memorials would have a place for remembering Malaya. However, Brill said he did not want
to set a precedent by naming the lake after Malaya. This is a City of 60,000 people and he
does not believe that naming the lake Malaya Lake is appropriate. There are other ways and
other things that can be done to memorialize Malaya through the park system. Lotthammer
said the City does have different programs within the park system to remember people
including the purchase of benches that would include a plaque or the planting of trees. Brill
explained that Kittrell does have the opportunity to present his recommendation to the City
Council. This Commission is only an advisory body and does not make the final decision on
the naming of this area.
Barrett said he agrees with Brill. He said that they should avoid getting into a situation of
creating a policy for memorial situations. Brill explained that if they do name the area after a
person, it should be a well-known name throughout the community and have a shared
knowledge of what is being memorialized without having to go into an explanation of who
this person is.
Elliott-Stoering commended Kittrell for the work he has done in presenting his request. His
efforts do not go unnoticed and it was great citizen input. Elliott-Stoering said in considering
Kittrell's request, she can think of other Eden Prairie kids whose lives ended tragically. She
PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
May 7, 2007
Page 4
indicated that her concern is that the name is not broad enough. Gerst said he would also like
to commend Kittrell for his presentation but he personally does not agree with naming any
lake after any one individual. However, the words Kittrell brought forward could be used for
naming the lake. Gerst said he would be more agreeable to naming the lake after a
community feeling. Napuck said she would have to agree with the general consensus about
not naming the lake Malaya Lake. This Commission has to be very careful about setting a
precedent and about naming something in the City that is used by everyone after a particular
individual unless that individual has a long-standing recognition in the City. Napuck said she
appreciates Kittrell appearing before this Commission and sharing his heartfelt emotions
with them.
Elliott-Stoering suggested that they consider a pathway that could incorporate the citizens'
desire to have a space for memorials. Lotthammer explained that other communities have
had pathways that include engraved pavers honoring many different things. He indicated that
they have this large area that has some unique focal points and to add another segment is
certainly within what other cities have done.
Fox presented an overview of how this site was developed and why it was originally called
Purgatory Creek Recreation Area. It was originally designed to include a golf course. The
concept was then changed in the late 1990's to be a town center park that was not active but
would be an assembly place for gatherings and the area was to be kept as natural as possible.
At that time, it was discussed changing the name from Purgatory Creek Recreation Area to
Purgatory Creek Conservation Area,but the name was not changed. There was also
discussion about placing memorial pavers in this park. It is designed so that the existing
pavers could be replaced with pavers that have inscriptions on them. A paver path was added
leading to the boardwalk/pier. Fox said there are a lot of options to memorialize and
remember people at this park including benches or inscribed pavers.
Barrett said he would prefer that this area be named a park rather than a conservation area
and he said that rather than naming two separate areas they consider naming the entire site
Purgatory Creek Park. Elliott-Stoering said that when she thinks of a park she thinks of
basketball courts, tennis courts,playgrounds, etc. She indicated that this area seems more
relaxed and subdued than a park. Lotthammer said the challenge might be to find a name
between conservation area and park. He said other communities have struggled with having
people come to these areas to experience joy and happiness or to memorialize and remember
people who have passed away. This is something they need to think about when considering
some of the memorial items suggested. They need to consider what the role of this park is
when displaying those types of features. Barrett said he agrees with Lotthammer and in some
ways they have already made this area a memorial park because of the Jean Harris Memorial
Bridge and the Veterans' Memorial. He asked if they want to continue down that path or if
they should stop it here.
Brill said that from the discussions held both this evening and from previous meetings, he
has developed four possible names for the area: Purgatory Creek Park, Purgatory Creek
Conservation Area, Purgatory Creek Memorial Park, and Purgatory Recreation Area. There
has also been discussion about not changing the name. Brill said his opinion would be that

they not change the name and keep it as it is. Napuck suggested that they also consider
Purgatory Creek Preserve. Barrett said he feels Preserve is too specific and he likes the word
Park because it is a little more general. Jacobus asked if Fox considers this area a
conservation area or a recreation area. Fox said he personally would categorize it as a
conservation area with a trailhead and active area.
Napuck said she was leaning towards calling this area a park. It does have the Jean Harris
Bridge and Veterans' Memorial and it appears more like a park even though it is not an
active park. The word park is broader and would incorporate what is planned for this area.
Jacobus said he agrees with Napuck and that the name should encourage people to come to
this area. To him, a conservation area is not an enticing place and may not accurately
describe this area. Jacobus said he believes the area needs a simple name.
Gerst suggested that they consider a name like Celebration Park. The name would encompass
the existing memorials and it sounds like a place where fun things are happening.
Brill asked the Commission members to indicate which names they preferred for this area.
Six commissioners preferred Purgatory Creek Park; three preferred Purgatory Creek
Conservation Area; two preferred Celebration Park; one preferred Purgatory Creek Memorial
Park; and, one preferred Purgatory Creek Recreation Area.
Motion: Napuck moved, seconded by Barrett, to recommend that the City Council consider
the following suggestions for naming the entire Purgatory Creek Recreation Area in order of
the following priority: Purgatory Creek Park, Purgatory Creek Conservation Area,
Celebration Park, Purgatory Creek Memorial Park and Purgatory Creek Recreation Area.
The motion carried, 8-0.
C. REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL OFF-LEASH AREAS
Lotthammer reported that staff met with Libby Hargrove regarding an additional off-leash
dog area for smaller dogs. Staff is suggesting that they delay any decisions on additional dog
parks until they see how these parks are affected by the opening of a dog park by the Three-
Rivers Park District at Bryant Lake. Staff is also recommending that no additional sites be
added to the system until the City is able to fund additional park benches,park shelters and
provide water at the two sites and the users prove that off-leash areas can be used without
creating an eyesore in the park system. Hargrove has recommended Hidden Ponds Park as an
off-leash area for small dogs. City staff would not recommend any additional off-leash areas
in neighborhood parks until the City is convinced that this would not become an eyesore
similar to the one at the Flying Cloud Drive site.
Libby Hargrove, 12640 Sunnybrook Road, said she was before this Commission in 2002 to
begin the discussions on off-leash dog park activities and provided the Commission with the
history of how these off-leash parks were developed. Hargrove explained that she is now
requesting a year round off-leash dog area for small dogs, maybe 30 pounds and under.
Hargrove said she is suggesting that they look at Hidden Ponds Park for the small dog park.
This is a small piece of property that is not adjacent to a residential area and has parking.
