Mr. Mark S. Potter
Commendation
On January 13, 1998, while driving down Garrison Way at 2015 hours,
you smelled the odor of smoke in the area. Investigating further, you saw
that the chimney on the home at 9705 Garrison Way was on fire. You
immediately went to the home and alerted resident Kimberly Strand who,
after learning of the danger, gathered her children and evacuated the home.
Your quick observation and identification of the fire coupled with the lack of
hesitation in notifying the homeowner of the danger not only potentially
saved a family from tragedy, but also gave the Fire Department an
opportunity to control the blaze in its early stages.
On behalf of the City of Eden Prairie, the Fire Department, the Police
Department, and the Strand family, we would like to thank you and
commend you for your actions.

Mayor Jean Harris, Sherry
Butcher-Younghans, Ronald Case, Ross
Thorfinnson, Jr. and Nancy Tyra-Lukens
City Manager Carl J. Jullie, Assistant
City Manager Chris Enger, Director of
Public Works Gene Dietz, and Council
Recorder Jan Nelson
Mayor Harris called the meeting to order at 6:40 p.m.
II. DISCUSSION ON CONTINUATION OF WATER CONSERVATION
SURCHARGE
Dietz said the majority of the calls they received last year dealt with the issue of
whether the surcharge was fair. He reviewed the recommendations of the
Environmental and Waste Management Commission: 1) raising the baseline to 24,000
gallons; 2) putting a $100 per quarter cap on the surcharge; and 3) establishing a
$50,000 budget for public education. He said the Commission was strongly in support
of the recommendations and voted 5-1, with the dissenting vote from a Commissioner
who did not want a cap put on the surcharge. As part of the education process Dietz
said they might be able to do personalized mailings to those people in the top bracket of
usage and could fund Staff to work with home owners.
Dietz then reviewed the statistical summaries of the surcharge based on 18,000 gallons
per quarter and the recommended increase to 24,000 gallons. He said there would be
some exclusions given for new lawns and similar special circumstances.
Tyra-Lukens asked if all residents are on the same quarter. Dietz said they are not.
Tyra-Lukens then asked if they will complain about that. Dietz said they probably will
because the heaviest watering is usually done in July and August; however, it seems to
work out. Tyra-Lukens asked if some residents could end up with two caps. Dietz said
they could.
CITY COUNCIL/STAFF WORKSHOP MINUTES
February 17, 1998
Page 2
Dietz noted that 71 % of the customers received no surcharge and, of the 29 % that did
receive a surcharge, 97% of those had a surcharge of $50 or less.
Thorfinnson asked if we will continue to allow people to appeal the surcharge. Dietz
said we would still have the same exemptions for new lawns and other anomalies and
noted we have been quite generous in allowing exemptions.
Thorfinnson asked what the conversation was regarding the placing of a cap. Dietz
said he told the Commission it was better to plan ahead to cover the possibility of a dry
year. After discussing several different figures for the cap, they compromised at $100.
Thorfinnson thought bumping it to 24,000 makes sense. While it may not solve the dry
year problem, it gives people more range. Dietz said the 18,000 gallon average in
winter unfairly influences the rate for a number of empty-nesters, including townhomes
with individual meters. He noted three people is probably the average household size.
Harris said she struggles with what would happen in a dry year. We would have to
make decisions about how to meet the needs if there were a very dry year. She was
impressed that 71 % of the people don't have a surcharge. She thought we are dealing
with a very small number of people who may change their habits without a cap. She
would rather have a high cap that could be reduced as it would be difficult to go the
other way.
Thorfinnson would rather see a higher cap as he was not sure the group that will
receive a surcharge are likely to change their ways.
Case said he wanted a cap; however, one of the key problems is that we are not really
short on water and, with the new facility, are not short on pumping capacity. He
struggles with how best to raise the level of consciousness so that we can get at the
obnoxious users and not appear punitive to regular users. He thought there is an issue
with what we are doing with the money collected because it sounds like a tax to
residents. Dietz said the money went into the utility fund in the operating fund and will
not go for capital costs. Case thought there still is a bit of a perception that it is another
tax. He thought we might want to raise the amount to be used for educational purposes
in order to further lower the usage.
Butcher-Younghans thought we do need to lower the water usage. We have been
spoiled by the idea of using as much water as we want. She believes we need to change
our habits now and this is going to change behavior.
Dietz noted we had a major reduction in the amount of water we pumped in 1997
because of the wet July. He said the Commission is concerned that the surcharge be
kept in place for a long enough time to see if it makes a change in the behavior
patterns.

Thorfinnson thought we might build into this the possibility that we could reopen the
issue because of conditions in a particular year. Dietz said that would always be open
to us. It would be in the fee resolution and we could make a change at that point.
Thorfinnson said we would not have an idea at that point since the fee resolution is
done in January .
Case was concerned that we could have 20 people who could change the policy. We
would listen to people that have the most anger. He thought we can head this off so
that we are proactive and not in that defensive position. He likes the $100 cap and the
24,000 gallon base.
Dietz noted whether we put in the cap or not we are still far ahead of other
communities.
Harris noted there is a lot of agreement on raising the baseline, nor is there a great deal
of disagreement about a cap.
Butcher-Younghans said she would be comfortable with a $150 cap. It would be high
enough to make an impact but not so high that we will have 200 people at a City
Council meeting protesting. A discussion followed regarding what the correct figure
would be for the cap. The consensus was to leave the cap at $100 as the Commission
recommended. Dietz that will give some comfort to the average user who doesn't come
close to the surcharge.
Dietz said he will bring a resolution adjusting the fee schedule to the next Council
meeting. He noted that about 200 people attended the Environmental Fair on February
7. The Commission is going to work on amending the weed ordinance to allow native
grasses. They are beginning to look at alternatives to lawns with high water
requirements. They would like to meet with the Council and talk about some of those
things in a strategy discussion. Harris was pleased with the direction the Commission
has taken. They have been very assertive on difficult issues.

Plat)
Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on February
5, 1998 in the Eden Prairie News and notices were mailed to 32 property
owners. The concept plan shows the subdivision of 58.95 acres into 117 lots at
a gross density of 1.98 units per acre. The net density, exclusive of Outlot E, is
2.21 units per acre. Three types of homes are included in the concept plan,
including 35 standard Rl-13.5 lots along Riley Creek and the City Park to the
south, 36 standard Rl-9.5 lots, and 46 Rl-9.5 lots with waivers for lot size and
street frontage.
Mark Anderson, Vice President of Land Development for Pemtom, requested
this item be moved down on the agenda because several of their representatives
had not arrived yet.
The consensus was to table this item to a later point on the Agenda.

Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on February
5, 1998 in the Eden Prairie News and notices were mailed to 135 property
owners.
John Dietrich, project engineer, said they are asking for full approval of the
restaurant and the book store, as presented in the Staff Report of January 23,
1998 according to Alternative One which indicates that the site plan has met the
criteria of PUD Amendment. He reviewed the site plan, noting they are
requesting a right-in, right-out off Prairie Center Drive that will handle 113 of
the average daily traffic for this development.
Enger said this site is part of Lots 12 and 13 of the approved 1978 Hartford
PUD. Future uses contemplated for this area by the 1978 plan included
restaurants, motels and professional offices. The PUD was amended in the
1994 Hartford Place PUD to show Lot 13 as wetland, ponding and a buffer
zone. The approved plan for Lot 12 was not amended. The 1994 PUD did not
include a specific plan for development nor indicate permitted uses.
Enger said the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the
Borders Bookstore at their January 26, 1998 meeting. They voted 7-0 to
recommend denial of the restaurant on the finding that the site plan was
inconsistent with the 1978 approved plan, that the proposed plan did not
mitigate the adverse impacts on the adjoining residential areas and that general
retail or office was a more compatible land use. The Commission recommended
that all proposed berming and landscaping adjacent to the residential areas on
both sites be installed concurrent with the construction of the bookstore. The
Parks Commission did not review the project
Linda Schaeffer, 11538 Carriage Court, was very excited about the Borders
Bookstore but didn't want a restaurant of this size with a liquor license in her
backyard. She said they can't block out traffic sounds and smells with berms.
She was concerned about an increase in crime. The restaurants proposed offer
outdoor seating and use loud speakers to announce table seating. She thought
there has to be another place in Eden Prairie for that type of restaurant and
would like to see a strip mall or something unique to go with the bookstore.
She was also concerned about the increase in traffic volume on Prairie Center
Drive if a restaurant of this size is put in here. She was sure that property
values would go down.
Gretchen Ebert, 11516 Carriage Court, thought it is inappropriate to put a
restaurant with a liquor license on this location. The noise from the restaurant
will come across the pond to her area, and there is no increased berming
planned between the restaurant and the Carriage Court homes.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
February 17, 1998

Richard Tesh, 8484 Minuteman Alcove, did not want a restaurant in his front
yard. He knew the property would be developed when he purchased his home,
and he likes the Borders Bookstore. He is concerned about the restaurant and
wanted the developer to know that none of the residents in the area want the
restaurant there.
Penny Hanson, 11043 Lexington Drive, said there is no fence or berm planned
in her area. She asked if there could be a fence built through the whole
development.
Nancy Francis, 11536 Carriage Court, said her developer assured her that the
wetlands would never be touched and that a two-three story office building
would go in there. She doesn't want a bar or restaurant in her backyard.
Don Klingel, 10940 Kiawah Drive, asked if there will be a sidewalk or bike
path from Preserve Boulevard to Rolling Hills Drive. Dietrich replied there will
be a continuation of the sidewalk along the south side from Preserve Boulevard
to the sidewalk at Hartford Place townhomes.
Andrea Poncius, 8486 Minuteman Alcove, did not support the restaurant. She
has told Mr. Dietrich several times that the landscaping between Minuteman
Alcove and borders was not adequate. Before tonight's meeting she received a
phone call that a five-foot high fence would be added to the project. She did not
think a five-foot high fence will be adequate.
Sharon Ahl, 11594 Carriage Court, said the developer has only responded to the
residents' concerns about the restaurant by some additional landscaping and a
fence. She was concerned that this property should have something built on it
that will add to the specialness of the area. She wanted to make sure the
Planning Commission's suggestion that all the landscaping be done at one time
even if the restaurant is not approved is followed through. She thought the
easement of the wetland should be dedicated to the City.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to close the Public
Hearing. Motion carried 4-0.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to approve 1st reading of
the Ordinance for PUD District Review as to Lot 1 and Zoning District
Amendment within the C-Reg-Ser Zoning District as to Lot 1; to adopt
Resolution 98-36 for PUD Concept Amendment as to Lot 1; to adopt Resolution
98-37 for Preliminary Plat of 9 acres into 2 lots and 1 outlot; to direct Staff to
prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff
recommendations as to Lot 1; and to continue the discussion of Lot 2 to the
April 7, 1998 City Council meeting.

Butcher-Y ounghans was surprised to see a restaurant included in this plan
considering the opposition of the neighbors and the Planning Commission
decision. She was very pleased with the Borders Bookstore plan, but she could
not accept the restaurant plan as it stands right now.
Case was concerned that one view of the bookstore shows the corner very close
to the patios of the nearby homes. He would like to continue the fence but
would prefer to have proponent work with Staff and the residents to see what
would be compatible. Dietrich said two of the cross sections shown are not
correct, and there is a berm and a retaining wall in there. Dietrich said they
would be willing to take a look at extending the fence from the southeast corner
of the store along the berm but would not recommend putting a fence along the
side of the store.
Case wanted to have Staff meet with the residents and the developer to discuss
these issues. He is always concerned about zoning transitions and we will face
this more often as we have sensitive commercial areas that abut residential
areas. He thought we will need to be careful to look at what it would take to
develop the commercial areas and stay within the expectations of the residents.
He thought a restaurant that stays open until 2:00 a.m. and has a liquor license
is not appropriately placed next to a residential area.
Case concurred that the easement should be deeded over to the City. He asked
if we would mitigate the wetland. Dietz thought there probably is a possibility
to expand the wetland somewhat, but he didn't know if it would be worth the
expense. Dietrich noted this was mitigated in 1994 and is probably maxed out.
Tyra-Lukens asked about the issue of the landscaping being done at the same
time. Dietrich said they would want to look at deferring the landscaping on Lot
2 because if, the restaurant is not approved, there will be some other type of
development. They need to look at this with Staff. If it is developed retail it
could be twice as large as the restaurant, and there would need to be a
coordinated building/landscaping plan. Case thought there are phases that are
acceptable. He would be comfortable if Staff was involved in the issue.
Thorfinnson thought we can ask for the berm to be built and in place before Lot
2 is developed.

Dwight Jelle, Westwood Professional Services, reviewed the site characteristics.
He said they worked with the State Historical Society regarding some of the
Indian mounds, and they have had the State Archeologist review the project and
their plans to avoid the mounds. They might end up moving two lots if mounds
are found there. Trails are proposed along Street A and connect to the City
park.
Pete Berge and Mark Anderson, from Lundgren Brothers, reviewed the
landscaping, the three neighborhoods proposed, and the Homeowners
Association proposed.
Enger said the Planning Commission reviewed the project at their January 12,
1998 meeting, and recommended on a 7-0 vote approval of the request, subject
to the recommendation that Staff, the developer and the neighbors work to
provide a separate point of automobile access to the development. He said the
Commission was also concerned about protection for the Indian mounds if the
State Archeologist determines they exist within the development. They
recommended snow fencing around the mounds to provide physical limitations
during construction, placing a type of conservation easement on them, and
clearly mark them so that people can determine where they are and know that
they are protected by State law. In addition the wetland in back of Lots 7-14
should be fully delineated.
Lambert said the Parks Commission reviewed the project at their January 5,
1998 meeting and recommended approval on a 6-1 vote. They recommended
that the wetlands be put in an Outlot and be dedicated to the City. They were
concerned about the impact preservation of the Indian mounds would have on
the rear lot runoff collection system. They will have to determine how that will
work when they get the decision on the mounds. The Engineering Staff should
be satisfied that the bluff and Riley Creek are protected from erosion by
adequate erosion control techniques. He said the developer was not comfortable
putting the wetlands in an outlot. One alternative would be to have the wetland
put into an outlot with a conservation easement on it and allow the outlot to
remain in the Homeowners Association ownership. They were concerned about
potential problems if the rear lot extends into a wetland. Lambert noted the
dissenting vote was a Commissioner who was concerned about the
recommendation to force the developer to give the Outlot to the City.
Dietz said there are implications regarding the extension of the utilities and
asked Alan Gray to review those. He said we will have to do a Feasibility
Study to develop a plan for constructing and assessing utilities to this area.

Alan Gray reviewed what would need to be done to provide sanitary sewer and
water service to this area and which properties would be affected. If the
Feasibility Study is approved, they would proceed with the study and come back
to the Council with a specific proposal at a Public Hearing that would detail the
project, costs for the improvements, and how it would be pro-rated and
financed.
There were no comments from the audience.
Case was concerned about the marking of the burial mounds. While he would
prefer to have the outlot dedicated to the City, he was okay with the idea of
putting it into an outlot owned by the Homeowners Association. The wetland
needs to be demarcated so it is entirely within the easement. Carsonite markers
should be put in the middle of the lot line for Lots 9 and 10 and he would like to
see them placed along the entire bluff line.
Case said he would encourage their proposed use of Chaska brick because we
have six or seven historic homes that are built of Shakopee and Chaska bricks
throughout the city. He encouraged proponent to take suggestions about road
names from the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC). He was concerned
that there was no mention that the HPC reviewed this proposal but he knows
that they did review it on December 15, 1997, and he would like to see a
paragraph or so included in Staff Reports indicating that the HPC reviewed the
project and what their recommendations were.
Butcher-Y ounghans thought this is a remarkable piece of property. She
commended the developer for the work they did with the State Archeological
office and for their concern for the cultural resources as well as the natural
resources. She wanted to make sure that the mounds are protected during the
grading. She noted that the mound alternative plan shows house building pads
coming fairly close to the mounds, and she feels very strongly about having a
reasonable buffer zone for the mounds. It is important to make sure people
know where the mounds are, and she would like to attach something to the legal
documents that would transmit the obligation to protect these mounds. She
noted the American Indian Advisory Council does not accept putting up
statements that designate burial mounds.
Thorfinnson understood that if they determine there are burial mounts, there
would be two lots pulled out, so he thought they have already taken into
consideration a reasonable amount of space.
Tyra-Lukens asked if there will be sidewalks in addition to the trail planned for
the south side of Streets A and B. Dietrich said there would not be. Lambert
said there will be an eight-foot trail on the south side of Street A all the way
through the development and on the south side of Street B. There are none
along the cul-de-sac nor on Street F. Tyra-Lukens asked if it is unusual to not
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
February 17, 1998
Page 9
have sidewalks in the development. Lambert said trails or sidewalks are put on
through streets but not on cul-de-sacs. Tyra-Lukens noted Streets E and F will
go through at some point. Lambert said Street F might be one that should have
a sidewalk. Tyra-Lukens asked if that is generally done retroactively. Lambert
said the decision should be made now if the Council wants one on Streets E and
F.
Case agreed that a trail on the south side of Streets E and F would be a
minimum, and he was surprised that they didn't put sidewalks on both sides as
an amenity and an attraction for the empty-nester market. He thought it would
also make sense from the perspective of the City's trail system.
Tyra-Lukens thought the issue of the second entry was left hanging at the end of
the Planning Commission proceedings. She asked what proponent has done
since January 2nd. Herbst said they met with the property owners again. There
is a haul road on the property to the west owned by Tom Zwiers. Because of
the site restrictions Hennepin County frowned on any other access except that
one. He thought we can come to an agreement with Mr. Zwiers, and he hopes
to be able to come back before final plat with something worked out on the
Dorenkemper property. Tyra-Lukens asked if these would be permanent roads.
Herbst said the one on the Dorenkemper property would, but the road on the
Zwiers property would be for emergency use only.
Tyra-Lukens wanted to make sure that all streets that look like they are
temporary dead ends are clearly signed so we don't have problems in the future.
She thought it is very important that we be conscientious about how we develop
this part of Eden Prairie and we must be sure to protect the bluffs and minimize
the tree loss.
MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to close the
Public Hearing; to approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for PUD District
Review on 58.95 acres and Rezoning from Rural to RI-13.5 and RI-9.5 on

acres; to adopt Resolution 98-35 for Preliminary Plat of 58.95 acres into 117
lots and 4 outlots; and to direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement
incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations and the following
Council conditions: 1) carsonite markers to delineate the conservation easement
area, 2) placement of the wetland area into an outlot, preferably to be deeded
back to the City, or, alternatively, to be dedicated to the Homeowners
Association; 3) proponent to work with the Heritage Preservation Commission
on street names within the development; 4) sidewalks to be placed on Streets E
and F; 5) proponent to work with staff to establish a satisfactory erosion control
plan; 6) proponent to work with staff to develop an acceptable drainage plan for
the back lots subject to the final decision on the location of the Indian mounds;
and 7) proponent to provide for a second entrance prior to 2nd Reading.

Director of Human Resources, Community
Information & Services Natalie Swaggert,
Communications Coordinator Terry Kucera,
and Recording Secretary Barbara Anderson
Tyra-Lukens called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m. Mayor Harris was absent.
Enger reviewed the results from the Community Forum and the Executive Summary of the
results of that discussion. He noted that Bill Morris of Decision Resources, Inc. had made
a presentation to the City Employees which was taped. He explained the difference in the
way items were referred to in the speech versus how staff chose to refer to them in the
Executive Summary.
II. VIDEO PRESENTATION OF COMMUNITY FORUM RESULTS
Councilmembers and staff watched the video presentation on the forum results.
IV. NEXT STEPS
Enger reviewed the next steps on the process which will include mailing the Executive
Summary to forum participants, telecast of the Bill Morris presentation on Cable TV, the
presentation of the Community Forum results to Boards and Commissions, and share the
results of those presentations with the City Council and then beginning the formulation of
a strategic plan.
Swaggert commented staff wanted to show the video on cable by mid-March. Enger
recapped the status ofthe Community Forum at present; he noted the focus groups did not
focus on social issues but were more intent on the realistic issues of today.
Enger showed a matrix containing the focus areas identified and the boards and commissions
and the areas where the boards and commissions would be most concerned. The worksheets
contained in the packets were devised with the idea of having the boards and commissions
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES
February 24, 1998
Page 2
identify issues and goals that were within their purview and what strategies could be used to
accomplish these goals. These worksheets would be tied into the commission and Council
values and used to develop a strategic plan. Enger asked if those present agreed with the
goals and values and that the correct boards and commissions had been identified and
associated with each value. Tyra-Lukens commented that Park and Recreation should be
included with the Public Safety because they were involved with that aspect within the parks
and on the trail systems. Butcher-Y ounghans commented the Heritage Preservation
Commission should be included under the Environment and Protection of Natural Resources
because they were involved in preserving landscaping around historical buildings and things
such as Miller Spring.
Enger stated that if each commission does the worksheets they will have a good start on
creating their strategic planning for the future as each commission will be looking at these
issues from their point of view. This would give staff a large jump on developing the
strategic plan and they could bring it back to the City Council for review.
Case asked if staff would have some examples that were specific because he thought the blue
sheets were very obscure and needed more definition to be useful. Swaggert stated staffwill
hold facilitated meetings with the boards and commissions to explain exactly what the blue
sheets were designed to do. Case commented the marks on the chart were not weighted as
to their importance, and some issues were more important than others and some boards and
commissions had much more impact on the values than did others. Enger responded the
chart was simply designed to allow staff to reach agreement as to what areas each
commission was involved with and then to solicit input from these commissions on those
issues that were relevant.
Lambert commented he thought the Park and Recreation Commission should be included
with transportation as they make recommendations to the City Council on pedestrian
walkways and trails. Discussion ensued regarding how the presentation would be made to
the boards and commissions and it was felt that staff should meet with the staff liaisons to
explain the goals and objectives of the exercise and how it would be conducted. Dietz
commented perhaps the presentation could be made to all the boards and commissions at one
time and then they could break off into small groups to hold their discussions. Enger stated
staff intends to do something along those lines, but had thought perhaps two or three sessions
would be needed, but staff would look at alternatives.
Enger stated there was the potential to use a similar matrix for City Departments to solicit
input from each department and that would help give management a good perspective on the
views of the City employees. The process is flexible and they can put other values into the
matrix to get different information. Staff feels that going to the boards and commissions for
input is the next step in this process, and getting input from City staff could be done later on
as the process is flowing along. This would give the City a comprehensive list of goals and
objectives that would be fairly complete. Enger noted that such things as conservation
easements and density transfers could be included as tools that a certain commission may feel
fit into the category of "do more with less".
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES
February 24, 1998
Page 3
Tyra-Lukens commented the process would give the Council validation for the premises they
have set forth. Lambert asked about the "do more with less" mandate, and noted the Park
and Recreation Commission has been talking about holding a referendum to obtain funds to
renovate some park facilities, and accomplish some things they have been wanting to do.
Enger responded that they need to identify the services that are being suggested as the means
to drive the bond issue. If the bond issue fits into the identified values that the community
wants to hold and accomplish, then there is a valid reason to hold a referendum. It all has
to balance out. Swaggert commented they need to tie the values in the referendum to the
focus areas. Butcher-Y ounghans stated that she felt it was healthy to discuss these things and
it should be something that the citizens have input about. Tyra-Lukens stated it may be a
way to look at optimizing current services and there may not be a way to do that so they may
have to implement an incremental plan to accomplish those tasks. Enger clarified that the
maxim means "do more with less increase" so as not to raise taxes more than is absolutely
necessary.
Lambert commented planning has to be all-encompassing and the values need to be the focal
point rather than the issues of today to be ready for the future when these immediate issues
of today will be resolved. Swaggert asked if it would be helpful to send out the Executive
Summary to board and commission members ahead of time, and everyone present felt that
would be best.
Dietz commented they were all making the assumption that the population of Eden Prairie
was going to age, when that may not be the case. People could decide to move away as they
get older, to be replaced by younger families, and the demographics of Eden Prairie could
remain relatively stable for quite a long period. Enger responded that the City needs to be
able to react to that scenario by having a system of checks and balances because it was too
difficult to predict accurately what would occur in the future.
IV. LEADERSHIP PROFILE RESULTS
Thorfinnson arrived at the meeting at 8:40 p.m. He stated the Leadership Profile detailed the
results of the values that the City Council had established as being desirable in a City
Manger. The document was confidential, as it was personal, and would not be allowed to
leave the building. Councilmembers would be allowed access to it by contacting Human
Resources if they wished to read it. Discussion ensued regarding when to take formal action
to confirm the new City Manger. Swaggert stated she would discuss this with City Attorney
Roger Pauley to see if the date of appointment could be moved forward.

Requested Council Action:
The Staff recommends that the Council take the following action:
• Approve 2nd Reading of an Ordinance for PUD District Review on 3.5 acres and Zoning District
Change from Rural to 1-2 on 3.5 acres;
• Adopt the Resolution approving Site Plan Review on 3.5 acres.
Background:
The Council approved 1 st Reading of the rezoning, preliminary plat and site plan review for the phase 2
parking for this project, and granted early grading permit issuance at its September 2, 1997 meeting. The
overall PUD Concept Amendment was approved by the Council at its October 7, 1997 meeting.
The City Attorney had advised the Council that it could not enter into a Developer's Agreement with Best
Buy when a member of the Council owns stock in the company. To resolve this issue, the City Attorney and
Staff worked with Best Buy in preparing a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for Best
Buy. This declaration document contains all the items that would have been in a Developer's Agreement for
the project. The declaration has been signed by Best Buy, and will be recorded with the final plat.

Declaration with the full right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as if it were a
named party hereto.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE:
SECTION: Consent Calendar 3/17/98
DEPARTMENT: ITEM DESCRIPTION: Contract Approval-ITEM NO.
Professional Service -MIS Consulting ])[6-POLICE
BACKGROUND
The existing public safety records management system is budgeted for replacement in 1998. The
project includes the addition of a computer aided dispatch component and mobile computer network.
The project is very complex and requires multiple interfaces and integrations to other networks and
systems operated by local, state and federal agencies. The budget for this project is $600,000.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of contract for professional services with CRS ConSUlting and Engineering
in the amount of $26,300.00 to assist in the design, development, procurement and implementation of
this complex project.
This project will have significant impact on the delivery of public safety services for the next several
years. The specialized nature of public safety records and dispatching systems offers little or nothing
in terms of "off the shelf" solutions. This type of project is considered high risk, with estimates of
failure rates as high at 50%. Customized design is the norm. The market is typically volatile, and
many vendors do not exist long enough to resolve post construction issues. It will be important to
minimize such issues through good design and procurement efforts.
CRS ConSUlting and Engineering is an independent firm with no ties to any manufacturers or potential
proposers. Our experience has indicated that independent consultants can reduce project costs as a
result of open specification writing resulting in competitive bidding.
This firm is currently working for the City of Bloomington on the Bloomington/Eden Prairie mobile
computer network which has given us considerable opportunity to see their approach to complex data
projects. CRS Consulting recently performed similar services for the City of Denver in response to a
failed system integration effort. CRS Consulting and Engineering's work in salvaging the project is
well regarded by Denver officials.
CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made this day of ,1998, by and between the City of Eden
Prairie (City) and CRS Consulting and Engineering, Inc (Consultant) to assist in the procurement of
a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Record Management System (RSM) for the City's Public
Safety operations.
The City and Consultant agree as set forth below.

requirements of the Act (the "Loan Agreement") with the Borrower. The loan payments or other
amounts payable by the Borrower to the Issuer under the Loan Agreement shall be sufficient to pay
the principal of, and interest and redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds as and when the same
shall become due and payable.
The Borrower has agreed and it is hereby determined that any and all direct and indirect costs
incurred by the Issuer in connection with the Project will be paid by the Borrower upon request.

provide refinancing for the Project, the proceeds of which will be loaned to the Borrower to pay and
redeem the Prior Bonds, meeting the general purposes contemplated and described in the Act.

Rodney W. Rue at Valley View Road and TH 169 Ramp Intersection
~=======================
Recommended Action:
Approve resolution approving Traffic Control Signal Agreement No. 74805 for traffic signals
at the Valley View Road and TH 169 ramp intersections.
Overview:
This agreement is associated with a MnDOT and City of Edina project to install traffic signals
at the Valley View Road and TH 169 ramp intersections.
Primary Issues:
The City of Eden Prairie is involved with this project because of our desire to have our existing
Valley View Road and Washington Avenue traffic signal coordinated with these new signals at
the Valley View Road and TH 169 ramp intersections. MnDOT and the City of Edina propose
to upgrade and interconnect the existing signal with these new ramp signals at no cost to the City
of Eden Prairie.
Fmancial Issues:
This agreement identifies the financial and maintenance responsibilities for all three signal
systems (two new ramp signals and the existing signal at Valley View Road and Washington
Avenue). MnDOT and the City of Edina are proposing to pay our share of the existing signal
upgrade and the interconnect costs. Therefore, there is no direct cost associated with this
agreement.
We hereby recommend approval of Traffic Control Signal Agreement No. 74805 with MnDOT
and the City of Edina to upgrade and interconnect out existing signal at Valley View Road and
Washington Avenue.
A copy of the agreement is available in the Engineering Division.

TH 212 Safety Improvements at Eden Prairie Road and Spring Road
Recommended Action:
Adopt resolution approving plans for safety improvements on TH 212 at Spring Road and Eden
Prairie Road.
Overview:
For several years, MnDOT, Hennepin County, and Eden Prairie have recognized that the
intersections of Spring Road with TH 212 and Eden Prairie Road with TH 212 had had a higher·
than average accident rate. In 1995, MnDOT developed a layout plan to address safety
problems at these two intersections on TH 212. The plan calls for widening TH 212 to provide
for left tum and right tum lanes from TH 212 at both intersections. Final plans and right-of-
way acquisition are now complete. MnDOT has scheduled a letting date for the project of
March 27, 1998. Construction would probably begin in May.

In addition to providing service to Settler's Ridge the proposed utility and street extensions will
benefit approximately eight other land parcels in Section 30. The feasibility study will likely
propose assessments to Settler's Ridge and other properties benefitted by the improvements. A
petition for the improvements representing 35 percent of the real property abutting the proposed
extensions has not been received. Future resolutions advancing this project will need to receive

Conservation Surcharge 1JL S.
Public Works Fee Resolution Amendment
Requested Action
Amend the Fee Resolution affecting the Conservation Surcharge Rate as follows:
• Change the City average from 18,000 to 24,000 gallons per quarter.
• Implement a $100 cap per quarter on the Conservation Surcharge.
In addition, allocate the revenue received from the surcharge program as indicated below.
Background
The Environmental & Waste Management Commission has recommended that the water conservation
surcharge remain in place with the above-referenced changes. It is the Commission's belief that
additional data is needed to measure the true impact of the surcharge.
In addition, the Commission has recommended that a portion of the funds collected ($50,000 for 1998)
be used for Educational Programs, such as the following:
• Educational seminars on landscaping or water conservation
• Grant program for environmental students at the high school or graduate level
• Purchase of education-related supplies, exhibits and displays for xeriscaping, groundwater and
water conservation education, including for use at the Educational Center at the Water
Treatment Plant.
• Establishment of a Rebate Program for xeriscape landscaping andlor water-saving appliances
such as low-flow toilets or shower heads.
• Implementation of a program to contact residents with a surcharge greater than $100 for City
inspections of their water system andlor distribution of water conservation related educational
materials.
The remaining fund balance (approximately $140,000 for 1997) would be to offset operation and
maintenance costs, but would not include any capital expenditures such as the water treatment plant
expansion.

Engineering Request for Advance Encumbrance of State Aid Highway Funds
Division
Rodney W. Rue
Recommended Action:
Approve resolution requesting advance encumbrance of State Aid Highway Funds.
Primary Issue:
This resolution provides us the option of advancing a portion of our 1999 State Aid construction
allotment to finance the CSAH 4 (Eden Prairie Road) Project. Based on our construction
cooperative agreement with Hennepin County, we expect invoices from Hennepin County for
our share of the CSAH 4 project to exceed our available 1998 construction balance. We would
propose to finance these costs by using a portion of our 1999 State Aid allotment.
Financial Issues:
In 1999 CSAH 1, Scenic Heights Road and TH 212 Stages II and III are proposed to be fmanced
with State Aid funds. Since our balance is very low, we will need to finance these projects by
selling State Aid bonds. Between our CSAH 4 obligations and "finaling out" some current and
older State Aid projects which will reduce our encumbered State Aid balance, we expect a net
advance of approximately $650,000 of our 1999 construction allotment.

Account to supplement the available funds in their State Aid Construction Account; and
WHEREAS, repayment of the funds so advanced will be made in accordance with the provisions
of Minnesota Statutes 162.14, Subdivision 6 and Minnesota Rules, Chapter 8829.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOL YED, by the Eden Prairie City Council that the
Commissioner of Transportation is hereby requested to approve this advance for financing
approved Municipal State Aid Street Projects of the City of Eden Prairie in an amount up to our
annual construction allotment in accordance with Minnesota Rules 8820.1500, Subparagraph

Robert A. Lambert, Director
RECOMMENDATION:
On March 2, 1998, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission reviewed proposals from
playground manufacturers for playground structures at Hidden Ponds Park and at Rice Marsh Lake Park.
After review of each of the presentations and after discussion with residents from each of the neighborhoods, the
Commission voted unanimously to award the bid for each site to Flanagan Sales, Inc. City staff concurs with
the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommendation and requests the City Council to
award the bid to Flanagan Sales, Inc. to install a playstructure as per its proposal for Hidden Ponds Park at a cost
not to exceed $40,000; and to award the bid to Flanagan Sales, Inc. for installation of a playstructure as per its
proposal at a cost not to exceed $40,000 at Rice Marsh Lake Neighborhood Park.
BACKGROUND:
Attached to this memorandum is a February 26, 1998 from Stuart Fox summarizing the playground proposals
of each of the five manufacturers and a copy of the minutes of the March 2, 1998 meeting. Approximately three
weeks prior to the meeting, the City sent letters to residents living in the service area of both Hidden Ponds Park
and Rice Marsh Lake Park inviting them to attend the March 2 meeting, if they wished to participate in the review
and selection process. A number of families from each neighborhood were in attendance to participate in the
process and to ask questions and offer opinions on the proposals as they were presented.
After review of each of the proposals and discussion with the neighbors, the Commission members each voted
on their first through fifth place preference. First place receive one vote, fifth place five votes, etc. The low vote
total was the preferred proposal. Vote totals for the Hidden Ponds Park playground were as follows: Flanagan
Sales, Inc. 10 points, Minnesota Wisconsin Playground, Inc. 16 points, Earl F. Anderson 23 points, Miracle
Recreation Equipment Company 25 points, and St. Croix Recreation Company 31 points. The totals for the Rice
Marsh Lake proposals were as follows: Flanagan sales, Inc. 13 points, Miracle Recreation Company 16 points,
Minnesota Wisconsin Playground, Inc. 18 points, Earl F. Anderson 30 points, and St. Croix Recreation Company
31 points.
The Commission voted unanimously for Flanagan Sales for both sites with the following conditions:
For the Rice Marsh Lake playground, Flanagan Sales must eliminate the log roll as proposed and add two swings.
City staffwill prepare the sites in late Mayor early June and installation of the playground equipment should be
completed by mid-July.
The ftmding source for the Hidden Ponds playground equipment is the general fund, and the funding source for

Memorandum
To: Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Through: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
From: stuart A. Fox, Manager of Parks and Natural Resources
Date: March 9, 1998
Subject: Evaluation of Playground Proposals for Hidden Ponds Park
REQUEST:
City staff requests that the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission review the five
playground proposals that have been submitted for replacement of the playground structure at Hidden
Ponds Neighborhood Park. The recommendation of the Parks, Recreation and Natural Commission
will be forwarded to the City Council at the March 17, 1998 meeting.
BACKGROUND:
The 1998 budget included $50,000 for replacement of the playstructure at Hidden Ponds Park. This
structure is the next playground to be replaced based on the 1995 playground audit.
The process that has been used in the past for selecting playground equipment at Riley Lake Park and
Homeward Hills Park is being used to select equipment for this neighborhood park. Staff has
requested playground manufacturers to bid on $40,000 worth of playground equipment to be placed
on the site. The remaining $10,000 budgeted for the project will be used for site preparation,
installation of trails and curbing, site drainage work, and site restoration.
Staff have requested playground manufacturers to bid the playground equipment based on their own
creativity and design expertise. The City will be responsible for preparing the site and doing any trail
or edging that is required to retain the safety surfacing.
Attached is a copy of the Request For ProposaL as well as a summary for each of the playground
manufacturers proposals.
PLAYGROUND PRESENTATIONS:
Each of the manufacturer representatives will have ten minutes to descnbe their proposed playground
layouts. They were required to provide colored displays and/or illustrations of the various play pieces
that they have included in their playground layout.
NEIGHBORHOOD INPUT:
Letters were sent to the homeowners around Hidden Ponds Park inviting them to attend the Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission meeting. After the manufacturers representatives
make their presentations, commissioners should solicit questions or comments from the homeowners
that live in that particular neighborhood. This will help the Commissioners understand what age of
child lives in that particular neighborhood and what particular features seem to be most desired by
those living close to the park.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSALS:
Earl F. Anderson -PlaySense -Play equipment, 10xi0 all steel picnic shelter, 12xI2 concrete pad
beneath the picnic shelter, balance beam, swings, and riders, wood fiber surfacing, and two poured
in place resilient surfaces for wheelchair accessibility.
Total Bid: $40,000
Flanagan Sales, Inc. -Little Tikes Play System -Playstructure, rider toys, swing set, I2xI2 steel
roofed shelter with concrete pad, wood fiber safety surfacing, and rubberized tiles for wheelchair
accessiblity.
Total Bid: $40,000
Minnesota Wisconsin Playground, Inc. -Game Time Playstructures -Playstructure, 12x12 picnic
shelter with concrete pad, and fibar safety surfacing.
Total Bid: $40,000

Total Bid: $40,000
Saint Croix Recreation Company, Inc. -Burke Playstructure -Playstructure, swing set, 1 Oxl 0
steel structure with concrete pad, shredded wood safety surfacing.
Total Bid: $40,000
CONSIDERATIONS:
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission will have the opportunity to question each
of the representatives following their presentation. Questions that may be considered should include
items such as warranty, ADA accessible, including how much area of the playstructure would be
readily accessible to that individual, the age appropriateness of the various features on each proposed
3
playground, color selections available, estimated time for installation of the playground, and location
of similar systems such as schools or neighborhood parks.
The final selection of a playground will be made by requesting each of the commission members to
rank their first choice, second choice, etc. The first choice would be one point, second choice would
receive two on to the fifth selection. The cumulative low total will be the recommended company.
The staff requests that the commissioners then make a unanimous recommendation for the
playstructure and amenities, if at all possible. Should there be a tie, the commissioners may postpone
selection of the playground based on site visits to a similar playstructure that has been installed by
manufacturer. In this event, the decision would have to be made at the March 16, 1998 Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission meeting, so that the final recommendation can be
forwarded on to the City Council at the March 17 City Council meeting.

Koenig asked about the noise levels from the bubble and Darian responded that the
noise level from the bubble will be about 40 decibels or less than the general noise
levels generated by traffic. It would be a constant noise level which will be less
noticeable than a varying noise level would be.

satisfactory buffering and screening plan possible.· Motion carried 7-0.
VI. OLD BUSINESS
Fox noted that staff will be presenting equipment proposals for Hidden Ponds Park and Rice
Marsh Lake Playground equipment separately. Each manufacturer's representative would
have ten minutes to make a presentation of their equipment and then the Commission would
discuss each proposal on it's merits and make a recommendation. Fox noted that the plan for
Hidden Ponds would include some trail realignments.
A. Hidden Ponds Park PlaY2round Proposals
The first presentation was made by Dave Owen representing Earl F. Anderson -Play
Sense, who descnbed the proposed play area in detail. He noted he had proposed a
different type of equipment to make the most of the City dollars, and this included a
cross-shaped pole instead of a round one. This equipment is manufactured containing
pre-determined components and the colors are not changeable. It comes "off-the-
shelf' and is installed as is. He reviewed the plans for the park and the components
that would be included. He descnbed the surface which would be placed under the
play structures. He showed a sample of the materials that they are proposing to use
in the play structure, and noted that it was guaranteed for two years completely.
Lambert asked if there were any problems with the "T" shaped posts and the edges,
as they appeared sharp to him. Owen responded that they seem to be working okay
but it is always possible to be hurt on playground equipment. He showed a sample
of the surface which will be underneath the play area.

Brenda Townsend, 1799 Grove Court, stated she was concerned that there was only
one tot seat and she felt there should be two, so she could go to the park with a friend
and they could both swing their toddlers at the same time. Jacobson asked where the
rubber surface would be used and Owen responded it would be used on the approach
to the swings, and underneath the swings.
Bill Johnson, Flanagan Sales for ''Little Tykes Play Systems, stated they bid a 5"
round post with stainless steel hardware so it won't rust. He descnbed the surfaces
they use for platforms and their slides. He descnbed the warranty on the equipment
and discussed the color options which are available. He descnbed the layout ofthe
play area and the location of the shelter and the sidewalk. He noted that
approximately 50% of the play structure would be handicapped accessible.
Stolar inquired how easy it would be to expand the swings if they wanted to add an
additional swing, and Johnson responded it could be done but it was best to do it at
the outset to avoid incurring costs later on. Jacobson asked how high the climbing
wall was and Johnson responded the top bar was about 7-8 feet in height but the top
rung of the ladder was about 48 inches or 4 feet in height.
Brenda Townsend was concerned if it was very friendly for very young children.
Johnson explained that about half of the structure was accessible for children between
the ages of2-5 years. Gail Fitzpatrick, 7678 Paulson Drive, stated she lives next door
to the park and was concerned about the play structure having a negative impact on
her view by using bright colors where it had been only nature before. She was also
concerned about how high the structure would be. Johnson responded the peak of
the roof was approximately 11-12 feet in height, and they can create any colors they
want to use.
Stolar asked if Johnson had erected any other play structures in Eden Prairie and
Johnson responded not in Eden Prairie but in other communities in the area. Brown
asked why they had requested a shelter in the proposal and if they had these shelters
in other parks. Fox stated that the shelters would provide instant shade and shelter
from rain and trees take a while to grow to provide these things.
Todd Lehman, Minnesota Wisconsin Playground, Inc., Game Time Playstructures,
reviewed their proposal for the playground. He described the layout of the equipment
and showed samples of the materials that would be used. They use recycled
aluminum in the posts and the hardware is zinc coated with a yellow chromate
conversion coating to prevent rust. They have endeavored to accommodate children
of most age groups in their design and have made it handicapped accessible. He
descnbed the space shuttle piece they have included in the play structure. They have
a variety of colors available so they would be able to create an attractive play
structure for the City.

RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES

Ann Walbrun, 17950 Liv Lane, asked if there were any swings included in the play
structure and Lehman responded they had not included swings in their proposal.
Koenig asked if it would be scaled back significantly to include six swings and
Lehman responded they would lose about one bridge to put in the swings. Brown
asked if there was any way the littler kids could get in the way of the space shuttle,
and Lehman responded there was sort of a natural "safe zone" surrounding the space
shuttle and the adjacent equipment was for the older kids.
Brenda Wenner, Miracle Recreation Equipment Company, Miracle Recreation
Playstructure, reviewed her design and materials. She noted they have two separate
layouts, one for 5-12 year olds and one for 2-5 year olds. She reviewed the site
layout and the shelter which is 12' X 12" in size. The concrete pad is 14' X 14" which
will provide more shelter area. Most elements in the play structure are handicapped
accessible.
Fox reviewed the plan submitted by St. Croix Recreation Company, Inc., Burke
Playstructure, as that company representative was not present. The plan included
swings, a 10; X 10' steel shelter and a play structure which included platforms, bridges
and slides. It is ADA accessible with a transfer point. The safety surface is based on
the height of the equipment and this one is about six feet in height.
Hilgeman asked if they want to consider options when choosing the plan they like,
and Lambert responded the plan can be configured any way the Commission desired.
Hilgeman commented that natural colors, six swings, two tot swings, and the roof
shelter were things that the neighbors were interested in. Also, two spring riders and
a good mix for various age groups had been mentioned. Stolar was concerned about
shelter locations and Lambert noted that could be dictated.
Discussion ensued regarding the various plans and proposals. Concern was expressed
regarding the "T" shaped post, and it was felt that could be hazardous to children
playing on that structure. The number of swings was discussed and the consensus
was that six swings should be included on the playstructure, two with tot seats. The
issue of divided focus was discussed and it was felt that it was important to have
parents be able to survey the play structure from a central point. After more
discussion, the Commission concluded that Flanagan Sales and Game Time
Playstructures were the two best plans.
Lehman was asked ifhe could put six swings into his plan and he responded he would
have to rework the plan to come up with the redesigned one and would look at the
numbers. They have to include the additional cost of more safety surface in the
proposal. He noted they also have single spring riders which could replace the double
rider, and have seventeen models to choose from.

RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES

Further discussion ensued, and the consensus was that the contract should be awarded
to Flanagan Sales, Inc. because they had the best layout and equipment supplied for
the money.
MOTION: Hilgeman moved, seconded by Stolar, to award the bid to Flanagan Sales,
Inc. With the understanding that there will be a total of six swings, with City staff to
determine the configuration, and one spring play event will be removed.
Discussion ensued regarding why the location of the playground equipment was
moved to its present location and Lambert responded it has to be outside the foul ball
zone from the ball park and they do not have many other areas within the park which
they can use. This is located on the main walkway and it should be one that is
centrally located and visible from the parking lot. It will be about halfway between
the tennis court and the parking lot. Fox commented the site details can be worked
out later, and they expect the equipment will be installed in June.
Motion carried 7-0.
B. Rice Marsh Lake PlaY2round Proposals
Bill Johnson, Flanagan Sales, Inc. reviewed the plans, noting this one includes four
swings, is ADA accessible, has a 12' X 12' shelter, and a mixture of events for
multiple age groups, including a 4-wheeler which many children find irresistible.
Hilgeman inquired ifhe would be willing to remove the log roll and add two more
swings, and he agreed that would work. Wilson asked where the spring riders were
and Johnson responded they substituted the 4-wheeler for them. Hilgeman noted the
plan does not show an ADA swing, and Johnson stated he could obtain one made by
another manufacturer, but they did not make them.
Sheldon Lucas, 1800 Palmer Circle, thanked the City for making the neighborhood
aware of the projects being on the agenda and the Commission for making such good
decisions.
Todd Lehman, Minnesota Wisconsin Playground, Inc., Game Time Playstructures,
reviewed his plan, noting it contained a 20 foot space shuttle, and two separate areas
for different aged children. Hilgeman inquired if they could exchange the climbing
area for six swings, and Lehman responded affirmatively, but they would have to put
some in another area. They use the 5R surface -which is the only one that has received
written approval by ASTM standards. Wilson asked if they make an ADA swing, and
Lehman responded affirmatively.
Brenda Wenner, Miracle Recreation Playstructures, noted again she created separate
systems for different age groups. They have a shelter, and the swings as requested,
PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL
RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES
March 2, 1998
Page 8
and the structures are ADA accessible. Hilgeman asked if they could eliminate the tot
system and get two more swings and one spring animal in exchange and Wenner
responded that could be done.
Fox reviewed the proposal from Saint Croix Recreation Company, and noted that part
of the plan was for 2-5 year olds and the remainder for older kids. Koenig asked if
things could be moved around on these plans, and Fox responded affirmatively, but
the proposals are based on the square footage of the safety surfacing which could
change the cost of the systems.
The Connnission discussed the proposals for Rice Marsh Lake, and it was noted that
the people in the audience liked proposal #2. Discussion ensued regarding how long
these play structures would last, and Lambert responded they were supposed to last
for about 20 years. Some decks were painted and some were rubberized.
Maintenance concerns were discussed.
MOTION: Wilson moved, seconded by Hilgeman, to approve the proposal by
Flanagan Sales, Inc. For the Rice Marsh Lake park with the elimination of the log roll,
the addition of two more swings, and work with staff to more centrally locate the
shelter. The ADA swing is to be purchased from another vender. Motion carried
7-0.
C. Edenvale Homes
Fox noted that staff received a plan which included screening and shrubs around the
perimeter of the development which was acceptable.
VII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Conservation Area Mana~ement Plans and Concept Site Plans
Lambert requested that they obtain quotes from consultants to do a Conservation
Area Plan which would give the City a policy to manage all these areas. He reviewed
the process which would be included in the plan. This would give everyone in the
City information on what was happening with conservation areas throughout the City.
He has submitted a grant request to the DNR to see if the City can get some funding
to help cover the costs and there is some funding in the budget which can be used as
well. They should request authorization from the City council to proceed with this
project.
MOTION: Hilgeman moved, seconded by Comeille, that the Parks, Recreation and
Natural Resources Commission approves the Staff Memorandum dated 2/18/98
pertaining to Conservation Area Management Plans and Concept Site Plans. Motion
carried 7-0.

Department: PRNR SUbject: Approval of Nine-Mile Creek Watershed Item No.:
Robert A. Lambert, Director District Plans to Process with Phase of Smetana Lake TIL y',
~ Outlet Project
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff reconnnends the City Council authorize the Nine-Mile Creek Watershed District Board to
proceed with Phase I of the Smetana Lake Outlet Project. The Nine-Mile Creek Watershed District
has delayed this project for several months due to the changing development plans relating to the
property on the north side ofthe lake. City staff concur with the Watershed District that it would be
appropriate to construct the outlet control structure in Phase I and delay the other improvements until
the City has a decision on development of all of the property on the north side of the lake. The
additional parts of this project include construction of the Smetana Lane creek crossing and
construction of the trail around the lake.
The existing plan depicted a trail adjacent to Smetana Lane all the way out to Valley View Road;
however, the discussions with the new property owner appears as though it may be feasible to
develop a trail adjacent to the shoreline around the entire lake. If that appears feasible with the new
development that will be proposed on the north side of the lake, the City would then petition the
Watershed District to expand the trails portion in the second phase of this project. Staff would
anticipate that the City will see a proposal for development ofthe property on the north shore ofthe
lake within the next few months.

Dear Mr. Lambert:

Minneapolis, MN 55415
Ph. 333-7400
The Nine Mile Creek Watershed District has completed the construction documents for the Smetana
Lake Outlet Project, in accordance with the petition submitted by the city of Eden Prairie. The
necessary right-of-entry/right-of-construction from the adjacent property owners have been obtained,
with the exception of John Kottke. For the past several months, the District has placed this project
on temporary hold because of pending development plans for the Kottke, Klodt, and the Frank
Smetana Sr. properties. Development plans for these properties could have an impact on the design
and location of the Smetana Lane crossing improvements. In recent discussions with city staff, it does
not appear that development of these properties is now imminent.
The Board, therefore at the District's February 18, 1998 meeting, instructed staff to separate the
project into two phases. The first Phase would include the construction of the lake outlet structure
and the wetland control structure at Pearson's gravel driveway. The second Phase of the project would
be the Smetana Lane crossing, should it be necessary. The proposed time schedule set by the Board
is to authorize obtaining bids for the construction of Phase 1 at the District's March 18,1998 meeting,
obtain bids, after March 18th, with a bid opening and award of the contract at the District's Apri115th
meeting. Construction would likely begin approximately May 1st.
Since this project is the result of a petition submitted by the city, the District is requesting
confirmation and approval of this proposed plan, by the city, prior to the District's March 18th
meeting. If the city has any questions or requests additional information, please contact either Paul
Haik, 333-7400, or Bob Obermeyer, 832-2857. The District looks forward to working with the city in
the completion of this project.

2nd Addition
2 21-116-22-31-0034 Outlot A, Starring Lake Second Addition -0-
BACKGROUND:
The staff has reviewed these two parcels and have looked at the potential use of these parcels for
public purposes. The stafffeels that both parcels do have use for public purposes and they would be
as follows:
Parcell is a remnant parcel that was created during the platting of Fairfield of Eden Prairie Second
Addition. This approximately one-tenth acre parcel lies adjacent to the proposed Scenic Heights
Road and the proposed Highway 212 corridor. This parcel would be useful for road right-of-way.
Parcel 2 is a parcel that contains a storm water pond within Starring Lake Second Addition. The
parcel of land currently has a drainage and utility easement covering it, which prohIbits any
development of this parcel. The parcel would be used as park conservation property.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution authorizing the disposal of the two
parcels as public property under the control of the City.

Requested Council Action:
The Staff recommends that the Council take the following action:
1. Close the Public Hearing;
2. Approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for PUD District Review with waivers on 67 acres and Zoning
District Amendment within the Public Zoning District on 67 acres;
3. Adopt the Resolution for PUD Concept Review on 67 acres;
4. Direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff
recommendations (and Council conditions).
Background:
The project involves construction of a 86,818 square foot Activity Center and a 78,540 square foot Athletic
bubble which were both approved for funding in the 1997 School District referendum.
The following waivers will be necessary through the PUD for the project:
• Building height to 42 feet for the activity center. Code maximum is 30 feet in the Public district.
• Building height to 65 feet for the athletic bubble. Code maximum is 30 feet in the Public district.
• Percentage of exterior building material for the athletic bubble. Code requires 75% face brick and
glass.
• Shoreland impervious surface of 62.4%. Code maximum is 30%
The staff report recommends a screening wall be constructed around the mechanical inflation equipment so
the City's noise ordinance standards of65 dBA(day), and 55 dBA(night) are not exceeded at the residential
property line. The proponent has submitted a noise assessment which addresses the mechanical inflation
equipment for a similar athletic bubble in Richfield. This assessment is based on the physical characteristics
of the Richfield site and does not indicate the distance from the residential properties. The assessment
estimates the noise level of 65 dBA for the equipment at three feet. If the assessment is accurately based on
similar equipment, it could be assumed that the ordinance is met at the nearest residential property line 270
feet to the north. The proponent therefore, requests that the noise wall recommended in the staff report be
eliminated.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Commission voted 6-0 for approval.
Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission Recommendation
The Commission voted 7-0 for approval. They were concerned that the amount of impervious swface was
too high. They also asked that the School District work closely with the adjacent neighbors to locate the
proposed landscaping.

Staff Report
Eden Prairie High School Phase 3 Expansion
February 20, 1998
BACKGROUND
. The Eden Prairie School District held a successful referendum last year for funding of the third phase
of expansion for the Eden Prairie High School. This included an activity center and an athletic bubble
for one of the football fields. Construction of the athletic bubble is anticipated in May of this year,
with the activity center construction beginning in September.
SITE PLAN
The site plan depicts the construction of an 86,818 sq. ft. activity center and a 78,540 sq. ft. athletic
bubble for one of the existing fields.
The activity center will connect to the existing high school and does exceed the 50 foot structure
setback requirement in the Public Zoning District. The athletic bubble, which is considered an
accessory structure, is setback 60 feet from the residential lots to the north, and 48 feet from the
railroad, exceeding the 30 feet required.
Approximately 123 of the 1,180 total parking spaces will be lost due to construction.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
No significant tree loss will take place with this project. All existing landscaping within the
construction area will be relocated.
A NURP pond was constructed in 1996 as part of the last expansion. The pond was designed to meet
the additional runoff anticipated with this current proposal. Some additional storm sewer is proposed
around the athletic bubble.
SHORELAND ORDINANCE
The school site lies within the Shoreland area of Round Lake. The Shoreland Code restricts the
amount of impervious surface to 30% of the site. The 1996 expansion was approved with an
impervious surface of 43.7%. Based on the phase 3 expansion, imperious surface will increase to
62.4%. A waiver through the PUD will be necessary. The waiver may have merit based on the
following:
• drainage from the impervious surface will be treated to NURP standards prior to discharge
to Round Lake.
• overall impervious surface around Round Lake is less than 30% due of the number of acres
Staff Report
Eden Prairie High School Phase 3 Expansion
February 20, 1998
in park and public open space.
• The site's impervious surface is approximately 300 feet from Round Lake.
• this is the only high school facility to meet the district's needs.
LANDSCAPING
Based on the square footage of the expansion, a total of762 caliper inches of new plant material is
required. The landscaping plan indicates a total of762 caliper inches, meeting code requirements.
The majority of the plantings are proposed along the north property line to help buffer the school
property from the residents to the north.
All existing landscaping within the construction area will be relocated.
ARCHITECTURE
The proposed activity center will match the current architectural theme consisting of two different
color face brick, aluminum panels, and glass. The percentage of brick and glass for the total building
exceeds the 75% requirement of the City code.
The plan shows rooftop mechanical equipment. City Code requires that all mechanical equipment
be physically screened from public roads and differing land use. The plan uses "penthouse" units,
which are small pre-assembled buildings that are designed to house the mechanical equipment. No
equipment components will be visible, only an access door and louver.
The proposed height for the activity center is 42 feet. City Code pennits a maximum height of 30 feet
in the Public zoning district. A waiver through the PUD is necessary. The height is less than the 50
feet approved with the 1996 expansion, and is consistent with the scale ofthe existing facility.
The athletic bubble is a 65 foot, air supported polyester fabric building. City Code permits a
maximum height of 30 feet. In addition, the Code requires buildings in the Public zoning district to
be constructed of75% face brick and glass. Waivers for building height and building material will
be necessary. The inherent design and use for this structure necessitates the waiver request. A
landscaping buffer plan has been submitted which provides a large concentration of evergreen trees
along the north property line to help offset the structure height.
The mechanical inflation equipment is located on the east side of the structure. This equipment will
resuh in the generation of noise. The proponent should construct a screening enclosure so noise does
not exceed a daytime L I 0 of 65 decibels, and nighttime L 1 0 of 55 decibels at the north property line,
Staff Report
Eden Prairie High School Phase 3 Expansion
February 20, 1998
as required by City Code.
The athletic bubble will be internally illuminated.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff would recommend approval of the PUD Concept Review on 67 acres, PUD District Review
with waivers on 67 acres, Zoning District Amendment within the Public Zoning District on 67 acres,
and Site Plan Review on 67 acres based on plans dated February 18, 1998, the Staff Report dated
February 20, 1998 and the following:
1. Prior to City Council review, the proponent shall provide a plan that shows physical screening
of the inflation equipment for the athletic bubble.
2. Prior to Building Permit issuance, the proponent shall:
A Submit detailed storm water, utility and erosion control plans to the City Engineer and
Watershed District for their review and approval.
B. Submit detailed plans for review by the Building Department and Fire Marshal.
C. Submit a final landscaping plan for review and approval by the City Planner.

C. EDEN PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL PHASE 3 EXPANSION by Independent
School District 272. Request for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 67
acres, Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 67 acres, Zoning
District Amendment, within the Public Zoning District on 67 acres and Site Plan
Review on 67 acres. Location: 17185 Valley View Road (Continued Public Hearing).
Michael Le Vetter representing Eden Prairie High School and Independent School
District 272 reviewed the plans for the Activity Center and the turf field which will
be covered by a bubble during inclement weather. This field will be available for other
uses after regular school hours. The additions will not make parking a large factor
in this development. The turf field is about ten feet lower in elevation than the
adjacent neighborhood which will provide some screening. He described the
additional screening efforts which will be done that will include planting trees and
using landscaping to reduce the scale of the building. He showed a photo montage
which represented how the bubble would appear from the adjacent residential
properties and the buffering that will be done with evergreens.
Foote asked how the bubble would be illuminated and LeV etter responded that it will
appear to be lit all over because the bubble is made of a translucent material. Habicht
asked how large the trees shown on the landscape plan would be, and Le Vetter
responded they will use 750 caliper inches for the screening from the homes, which
the montage does not illustrate as well. The height of the trees shown on the montage
will be approximately fourteen feet in height when they are planted and will grow to
about double that at maturity (about twenty years). Most of the trees shown on the
plan will be between 10-12 feet in height when planted.
Ismail inquired if the number of students attending EPHS will peak at 3,600 when will
that occur. He also inquired if they would charge fees for use of the buildings at
night. Steve Schultz, Activities Director at EPHS responded that enrollment will peak
at EPHS within the next five years, and they are only about 1,000 students below that
figure at present. Community Education will be developing a fee schedule for use of
the Activity Center and Bubble before the construction of these facilities is completed.
LeVetter commented that the noise level generated by activities within the bubble will
be within the Noise Ordinance requirements.
Sandstad inquired if the Stadium would be visible from the upper parking lot after the
construction was completed, and Le Vetter responded it would be visible from the east
entrance, but probably not from the western parking lot area. LeVetter explained that
the Activity Center was intended to function in conjunction with both the bubble and
the stadium and if the orientation of the building were changed it would be too far
away from these other facilities to be useful. Sandstad asked about the ticketing and
Le Vetter responded they have not yet made final decisions regarding this, but
probably the existing ticketing will remain, and an additional ticketing area will be
added adjacent to the plaza in front of the Activity Center. Sandstad asked how many
parking spaces will be lost by these additions and Le Vetter responded they will lose
123 parking spaces. Wissner inquired how long the material used for the bubble
/tJ
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
February 23, 1998
Page 6
would last and Schultz responded it was supposed to last for 20 years. Wissner
commented that perhaps in twenty years it may no longer be needed.
LeVetter stated that the bubble gave them more flexibility for scheduling the physical
education programs, and because the Activity Center is only going to contain six
stations, the bubble will give them the additional two stations they need without the
additional expense that a building would cost. Wissner stated she was concerned
about the loss of the 123 parking spaces at the high school and LeV etter responded
they would lose some parking no matter where the buildings were placed. Schultz
stated the largest parking demand was for football games. They have auxiliary
parking with Prairie View Elementary, the church and Immanuel Lutheran Church if
needed.
Franzen reviewed the staff report and noted staff recommended approval subject to
the recommendations listed in the Staff Report.
The Public Hearing was re-opened.
Sharon Beard, 16691 Hillcrest Court North, asked about the sound levels that would
emanate from the bubble and what they could be compared to. John Queter,
Cunningham Group, responded that a highway would generate a noise level in the
range of 70-80 decibels and the levels above 40 decibels were audible to a person
inside a building. However, the highway noise was a constant noise level, which tends
to be ignored after a while, and is less noticeable than a noise level which has sudden
increases and decreases. The noise level from the bubble will be a constant sound
which should be less annoying. Beard asked about the exterior lighting on the bubble
and LeV etter responded they need to maintain about a 10 Footcandle level and in
comparison the stadium is lit at about 50 Footcandles. He noted the lighting will be
directed downward and should not impact the adjacent neighborhood. Beard asked
about facilities for the bubble and LeV etter responded the pennanent structures inside
the Activity Center would be used. Beard asked if the plaza outside the Activity
Center will impact the existing plaza that was just redone. Le Vetter responded there
has only been some sod laid in this area to reduce the mud, but nothing will impact
the existing plaza. Discussion ensued regarding the height of the trees and the
visibility of the buildings from the adjacent properties.
Sandstad asked if there were any auxiliary uses for the Activity Center that they
should know about. Le Vetter responded they hope to hold graduation ceremonies
there at some time in the future, but that will not be possible until adequate seating
can be added to the Activity Center. The floor in the Activity Center is a composition
floor and not suitable for athletic competitions or similar events. Schultz commented
the Activity Center will be available for use after school hours but they have not
defined these uses. Such things as an antique show, basketball camps, etc. have been
discussed as possible other uses for the buildings. The bubble area would be used for
band practice or soccer practices and similar types of things.
Le Vetter stated that the High School is a large Community Center and focal point for
/1

February 23, 1998
Page 7
the entire community. He described the construction schedule.
Wissner commented she was initially opposed to the bubble idea, but had come to
realize the need and felt the temporary structure did not have the impact or cost factor
of a pennanent building, and she supported the project. Sandstad supported the
project with the stipulation that the lights outside the bubble reflect downward. Ismail
stated he supported the project, and asked about the color of the bubble; LeVetter
responded the bubble would be white in color. Habicht stated he had difficulty with
the number of waivers associated with the project but supported it because this was
what happens when a lot of building is done on a small area. Foote stated he was
pleased by the amount of landscaping and screening that was going to be done, and
he sincerely hoped the Community would have an opportunity to utilize these
facilities. He supported the project; Clinton concurred.
MOTION: Habicht moved, seconded by Wissner, to close the Public Hearing.
Motion carried 6-0.
MOTION: Habicht moved, seconded by Wissner to recommend to the City Council
approval of the request of Independent School District 272 for Planned Unit

Zoning District on 67 acres, and Site Plan Review on 67 acres based on plans dated
February 18, 1998 and subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report dated

RE: Eden Prairie Sports "Bubble"
cc: City Council of Eden Prairie
From: Brandt & Pam Silverman
Mr. Kipp,
Per our conversation, \\le live at 17287 Rosalla Drive, \\lhich is just west of Eden Prairie
High SchooL across Duck Lake Road. V/e purchased our home (in 1994) for many
reasons, one of which \vas for our vie\v of Round Lake.
We didn't anticipate that the High School would be expanding, and some of our lake view
was reduced when the recent building addition was completed. Though we weren't happy
about losing some of this view, and voted against that particular expansion, we followed
the democratric process.
As part of this building development, the High School planted numerous large trees by our
backyard, and \ve are very pleased with this. Unfortunately, I have heard from two people
within the City of Eden Prairie that this is a temporary placement.
We ask that you keep the large trees where they are and add more as part of your plan.
This is very important to us, as we have a sidewalk street, railroad tracks, and a high
school in our backyard. The trees add a great deal to our enjoyment of our backyard. I
have discussed this with our neighbors. and they agree that the trees are much appreciated.
As you build the Sports Bubble, please keep in mind that we will see it everyday, hear its
noise, and deal with its traffic. We "vill work with this better, if you help us in our quest
to improve our enjoyment of the community by adding more large trees in the plan.
Thank you,

Supplemental Staff Report to the February 20, 1998 Community Development
Staff Report Regarding Eden Prairie High School Phase III Expansion
In 1997, the Eden Prairie School District passed a referendum for funding of the third phase of
expansion for the Eden Prairie High School. The amenities within this referendum included an
Activity Center and an athletic bubble over one of their existing practice football fields. Construction
of these facilities is anticipated during the summer of 1998.
NATURAL RESOURCE ISSUES:
Shoreland Ordinance
Within the staff report written by Senior Planner Scott Kipp, there are details regarding the waiver
necessary for this project to proceed. Staffhas contacted the Watershed District and according to
their consulting engineer the NURP ponds that were constructed as part of the Phase I construction
were over sized enough to accommodate the runoff from these additional amenities.
The Senior Planner Staff Report also outlines criteria for the merit of granting the waiver based on
the following:
• Drainage from the impervious surface will be treated to NURP standards prior to discharge
into Round Lake.
• Overall impervious surface around Round Lake is less than 30% due to the number of acres
in the park and open space.
• The site's impervious surface is approximately 300' from Round Lake.
• This facility would serve to meet the District's needs.
1
Landscaping
The landscaping required for this expansion is based on the square footage of the expansion. These
calculations indicate that 762 caliper inches of new plant material is required. The majority of this
landscape material is coniferous material and is being proposed along the northerly property line.
This plant material will be used to buffer the view of the proposed turf bubble from the residents to
the north.
Staff would recommend that the School District officials, as well as their consulting architects, work
closely with the adjacent property owners in order to locate the proposed landscape material and
minimize the visual impact of the athletic bubble.
Staff would also recommend that the School district follow through on their proposed relocation of
the landscaping material that was salvaged during the Phase I construction. Quite a bit of this
material is still in the holding area in the northwestern comer and should be utilized to supplement
their campus planting under the original expansion plan.
RECOMMENDATION: .
This project was reviewed at the February 23, 1998 Planning Commission meeting and was approved
on an unanimous 6-0 vote. Staff would recommend approval of the proposed Phase III as detailed
in the February 20, 1997 Community Development Staff Report and the recommendations within
this supplemental staff report.

mostly remain on the site. Staff recommends that credit be given for transplanting
small trees presently existing on the site, which will reduce the bonding for the
developer but would allow them to use existing trees toward landscaping credit if they
survive being transplanted.
Koenig asked if the property extended to the ravine and Fox responded it goes down
to the bottom of the slope. Kroiss stated the ravine was mainly located on different
property. Hilgeman asked about the 37% tree loss and if the existing significant trees
were included in the tree loss calculations. Fox responded negatively, noting those
were given credit to provide an incentive for the proponent to save as many existing
trees as possible. Lambert noted this was a property owner who planted these trees
on his lot to enhance his home and the City of Eden Prairie. If the City wants people
to plant trees on their property in the future they have to make sure they will not be
penalized for planting trees on lots which could be subdivided in the future.
Fox commented the developer will have to provide the bond for the landscaping
which would be the same as ifhe was providing landscape material from a nursery or
using existing trees from the property. Brown inquired why the number of homes
could not be reduced so the tree loss would not be so significant. Lambert responded
that the developer met the density requirement stipulated by the Zoning Ordinance the
City could not require him to reduce the number oflots in the development, especially
because he was removing trees he had planted. He reminded the Commission that the
30% figure was only a goal, and was not mandated by Ordinance.
MOTION:Wilsonmoved, seconded by Comeille, to recommend approval of Maple
Hill Addition based on the recommendations in the Community Development Staff
Report dated February 20, 1998 and recommendations within the supplemental staff
report dated February 25, 1998. Motion carried 7-0.
B. Eden Prairie Hi&h School Activity Center/Turf Bubble
Michael Darian representing Independent School District 272 and Jay Pomeroy who
is the Landscape Architect were present. Pomeroy discussed the landscaping which
will be done around the perimeter of the site and around the bubble to provide
screening and buffering from the adjacent residential properties. There will be
landscaping around the activity center also to mitigate the mass of the building and
soften its appearance. He discussed the plants which will be included in the plan and
the sizes of the plantings which will be used. He noted the heights of the trees used
to screen the bubble would be varied to provide some interest as well as screening.

Fox gave the staff report and discussed the landscaping plan, which meets ordinance
requirements. It also was approved by the Watershed District and the Planning
Commission. Staff recommends approval with the stipulation that the School District
work with adjacent property owners to buffer the bubble as much as possible. There
was significant plant material which was stored in the northwest comer of the
property and it should be used to supplement the landscaping for this project.
Stolar asked how much of the material in the northwest comer will be left there, and
Fox responded that most of the material came out of the area where the NURP ponds
are and some of it was from the City realignment of Valley View Road. Lambert
suggested there were going to be many people who will be surprised by the
illuminated bubble which will be very visible at night, and he believed the proponents
should work with adjacent residents to get the most effective screening possible.
Darian stated they were willing to work with people as much as possible, but did not
believe it would be possible to satisfy everyone. Pomeroy has talked with Scott Kipp
about this and they have many trees to work with. Lambert stressed that the
developer should do everything they can to satisfy people regarding this buffering
issue. He stated that this will be very much like a 65 foot high by 300 foot long light
bulb glowing in the dark right next to these people's homes. He suggested the School
District do whatever is possible to work with neighbors to screen this facility from
their homes. Hilgeman asked about the 30 ash trees and why there were so many.
Pomeroy responded that they are being transplanted but are not new trees; they
already existed on the site.
Comeille commented he wished to emphasize that they need to work with the
neighbors to locate the trees in the most effective manner to provide maximum
screening and buffering. Wilson concurred, noting it was paramount that they work
with the neighbors to complete the screening process in as satisfactory manner to as
many residents as possible.
Jacobson commented the impervious surface area meets the standard for water quality
and yet Round Lake was still deteriorating, and he asked if there was something
wrong with the NURP pond standard. Fox responded that there were many sources
of water coming into Round Lake other than those from the NURP ponds on this site.
This may be something that the City needs to review in the future. Pomeroy stated
that on the EPHS site 98% of the water goes through the NURP ponds now, but this
has not always been the case in the past. Koenig inquired how much area around the
lake was open space and how much was not. Fox responded that information was not
readily available but could be obtained from the City Engineer.

Koenig asked about the noise levels from the bubble and Darian responded that the
noise level from the bubble will be about 40 decibels or less than the general noise
levels generated by traffic. It would be a constant noise level which will be less
noticeable than a varying noise level would be.
MOTION:Wilsonmoved, seconded by Stolar, to recommend approval ofthe Eden

VI. OLD BUSINESS
Fox noted that staff will be presenting equipment proposals for Hidden Ponds Park and Rice
Marsh Lake Playground equipment separately. Each manufacturer's representative would
have ten minutes to make a presentation of their equipment and then the Commission would
discuss each proposal on it's merits and make a recommendation. Fox noted that the plan for
Hidden Ponds would include some trail realignments.
A. Hidden Ponds Park PlaYKround Proposals
The first presentation was made by Dave Owen representing Earl F. Anderson -Play
Sense, who described the proposed play area in detail. He noted he had proposed a
different type of equipment to make the most ofthe City dollars, and this included a
cross-shaped pole instead of a round one. This equipment is manufactured containing
pre-determined components and the colors are not changeable. It comes "off-the-
shelf' and is installed as is. He reviewed the plans for the park and the components
that would be included. He descnbed the surface which would be placed under the
play structures. He showed a sample of the materials that they are proposing to use
in the play structure, and noted that it was guaranteed for two years completely.
Lambert asked ifthere were any problems with the "T" shaped posts and the edges,
as they appeared sharp to him. Owen responded that they seem to be working okay
but it is always possible to be hurt on playground equipment. He showed a sample
of the surface which will be underneath the play area.

Requested Council Action:
The Staff recommends that the Council take the following action:
1. Close the Public Hearing;
2. Adopt the Resolution for Preliminary Plat of3.64 acres into 6 lots within the existing Rl-22 Zoning
District;
3. Direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff
recommendations (and Council conditions).
Background:
The original request was for a rezonmg ofthe property to R1-13.5 and preliminary platting of8 singe family
lots. The neighborhood and Planning Commission were not supportive of the rezoning due to the
incompatible lot size with the surrounding R1-22 zoned property.
The plans were revised to show a 6 lot subdivision meeting the existing Rl-22 zoning district. The rezoning
request was withdrawn.

Staff Report
Maple Hill Addition
January 9, 1998
BACKGROUND
The Comprehensive Guide Plan identifies this site and surrounding sites for Low Density Residential
land use up to 2.5 units per acre. The property is currently zoned Rl-22. Surrounding land uses
consist of the Boulder Pointe single-family development to the north, zoned R1-l3.5, and existing
Rl-22 single-family to the east, south and west. This is the first rezoning proposal along Staring Lane
since the installation of municipal sewer and water in 1992. Prior to that time the previous six
approved subdivisions along Staring Lane had to meet the Rl-22 design standards since the municipal
service was not available.
SITE PLAN
The proposal is to rezone the property from Rl-22 to Rl-l3.5 for eight single-family homes at a
density of 2.19 units per acre. Lot size varies between l3,548 sq. ft. and 25,410 sq. ft., with an
average of 17,427 sq. ft., consistent with the abutting Boulder Pointe single-family lots to the north.
Lot size within the Staring Lane area vary from 22,000 sq. ft. up to 4+ acres (see attachment). All
setbacks are met for the R 1-13.5 zoning district.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
A total of 1,422 caliper inches of significant trees are on the property. The trees are not part of a
naturally occurring wooded area, but were planted by the property owner and consist mainly of silver
maple and red cedar. Proposed tree loss is 37%, or 528 caliper inches. Tree replacement is 259
caliper inches. Staff supports giving credit of 150 caliper inches toward meeting the tree replacement
requirement since an additional 150 caliper inches of existing non-significant planted trees will remain
after development. Prior to City Council review, the proponent shall submit a tree replacement plan
for 109 caliper inches.
A NURP pond is proposed on the site. The proponent is offering to provide a cash contribution to
the storm water utility in lieu of constructing the pond which serves a limited drainage area. The
Watershed District must approve this proposal before it can be accepted. The Engineering
Department is comfortable with either option. The proponent should revise the plans to show a
drainage and utility easement over the proposed NURP pond area.
UTILITIES
City sewer and water is available to the site with connection to lines in Staring Lane.
Staff Report
Maple Hill Addition
January 9,1998
SUMMARY
The decision of whether the rezoning of the property to R 1-13.5 is consistent with the surrounding
neighborhood should be based on the following:
• This is the first rezoning proposal since the installation of municipal services. Prior to that
time only the Rl-22 standards applied.
• Future Rl-13.5 rezoning requests are now possible along Staring Lane with the municipal
services in place.
• The lot sizes are consistent with the Boulder Pointe development to the north.
• The proposal is consistent with the Guide Plan and City Code. No variances are requested.
• Due to existing site conditions and the grading for the road, similar tree impacts would result
if the proposal met the Rl-22 standards.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I If the Planning Commission believes that the proposal is consistent with the existing
neighborhood, then staff would recommend approval of the Zoning District Change from
Rural to RI-13.5 on 3.64 acres and Preliminary Plat of3.64 acres into 8 single-family lots
based on plans dated January 9, 1998, the staff report dated January 9, 1998, and the
following:
1. Prior to City Council review, the proponent shall:
A. Provide a tree replacement plan for 109 caliper inches.
B. Show a drainage easement over the NURP pond area.
2. Prior to final plat, the proponent shall submit detailed stonn water runoff, utility and
erosion control plans for review by the City Engineer and Watershed District.
3. Prior to grading pennit issuance, the proponent shall notify the City Engineer,
Watershed District, and City Forester. Construction fencing to protect existing trees
must be in place and approved by the City Forester prior to grading and tree removal.
4. Prior to building pennit issuance, the proponent shall:

zoning district standards.

February 6, 1998
BACKGROUND
This project was continued at the January 9, 1998 Planning Commission with the Commission
directing the proponent to revise the plans from an 8 lot, to a 7 lot subdivision within the Rl-22
zoning district, requiring lot size variances.
If the Planning Commission recommends approval of the revised plans as submitted, Staff will publish
the project for City Council review as a preliminary plat of 3.64 acres into 7 single-family lots within
the Rl-22 zoning district.
SITE PLAN
The plan has been revised for 7 single-family lots. The density of the project has been reduced from
2.19 units per acre to 1.92 units per acre. Lot size vary between 15,543 sq. ft. and 24,745 sq. ft.,
with an average of 19,960 sq. ft. Lot size within the Staring Lane area vary from 22,000 sq. ft. up
to 4+ acres.
The R 1-22 zoning district requires a minimum lot size of 22, 000 square feet. All lots except lot 5 are
under the minimum lot size and will require variances from the Board of Appeals.
The Rl-22 zoning district requires a minimum lot frontage of90 feet (55 feet on the radius ofa cul-
de-sac). Lot 2 will is shown with a 78.24 foot frontage and will require a variance from the Board
of Appeals.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
A total of 1,422 caliper inches of significant trees are on the property. Proposed tree loss has
remained the same at 37% with the 7 lot plan. Tree replacement is 259 caliper inches. Staff supports
giving credit of 150 caliper inches toward meeting the tree replacement requirement since an
additional 150 caliper inches of existing non-significant planted trees will remain after development.
Prior to City Council review, the proponent shall submit a tree replacement plan for 109 caliper
inches.
The proponent is offering to provide a cash contribution to the storm water utility in lieu of
constructing the NURP pond which serves a limited drainage area. The Engineering Department is
comfortable with either option. The Planning Commission supported the cash contnbution option.
However, the Watershed District must approve this proposal before it can be accepted.

IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. MAPLE ADDITION by MSS Holdings. Request for Rezoning from RI-22
to Rl-13.5 on 3.64 acres and Preliminary Plat of 3.64 acres into 8 lots.
Location: 9060 Staring Lane West.
Beth Andrews, representing MSS Holdings, explained their proposal is to
subdivide 3.64 acres into eight lots and the average lot size will be slightly
over 17,000 square feet. They will be custom grading all of the lots in
keeping as much trees and natural terrain as possible and adding retaining
walls where they need to be added in order to save trees. A landscaping plan
has been submitted to the Parks and Recreation Department to replace any
trees lost. The tree loss is approximately 37 percent which is mainly just for
the building pads and the houses that are going in. She noted the plan is
similar to the Boulder Pointe subdivision to the north.
They have several people that are interested now in doing custom homes that
are going to fit in with the more natural sloping. Most of the lots are going
to be walkout lots that will be customized. She explained why there is a new
location for the NURP pond and pointed it out on the map.
Steve Kroiss, representing MSS Holdings, commented they would like to
produce the same type of homes they did at the Sunnybrook Woods project,
similar in character and looks. He reviewed the similarities between the two
projects.
Franzen reviewed the staff report with the Commission and explained why
there are two different possible conclusions listed in the staff report. He noted
the trees on the property were planted by the owner and the City still views
those as significant trees as defined by ordinance. He also noted the tree loss
isn't related to the number of lots on the property but it has to do with the
grading in the cul-de-sac.
The public hearing was opened.
Bob Broich, 9105 West Staring Lane, noted they live directly west of this
property. He and his wife have 2.9 acres there and came to the City a couple
of years ago asking to subdivide four acres into two lots. They like the homes
that are built by Kroiss Builders and understands he has the right to develop
the property but he was opposed to the rezoning. With the current zoning,
2
If:;
Planning Commission Minutes
January 12, 1998
he could put six houses in there and he thinks it's too much. He would like to
see bigger lots, not smaller lots next door to them. He was concerned about
the tree loss being too high and would hate to see that many trees lost. This
will also open the door for the other lots in that area to be rezoned, thus,
putting more houses into that area which he was opposed to. He has a big lot
with a high priced house and was afraid that more houses is going to effect the
value of his property.
He was also concerned about the retaining walls they are proposing that they
will be directly looking at. It was his understanding each of those levels could
be up to five feet high which is 20 feet added to the height of that lot. He
would also rather see them replace the trees with the same amount of inches
they cut down. He noted he was not aware the property was for sale, and if
he knew, he would have bought it himself.
Harold Shrenkel, 9090 West Staring Lane, commented he was opposed to the
RI-13.5 and does not feel the smaller lots fit in with the neighborhood. The
neighborhood has more larger lots and the neighbors like their elbow room
and the surrounding trees that are on most of the properties. He would like
to see the lots stay as big as the zoning allows. He was also concerned that
the smaller lots would depreciate the surrounding properties.
Bob Hebrink, 8990 West Staring Lane, commented he was not against the
zoning fundamentally as it stands, but he was opposed to the amount of
homes. He likes the trees and was opposed to the amount of tree loss. He
was concerned about where the NURP pond was going to be located because
he was concerned about the drainage pattern. He was also opposed to the
retaining walls and was concerned about the double drainage of that property.
Larry Link, 9160 West Staring Lane, noted his property is three lots down
from where the proposed development is going to be. His biggest concern
was the change in the lot size. There are very few places left in Eden Prairie
to have lots of this size and he enjoys the wildlife that comes with having that.
He had no problem with the development but would like to see them maintain
the lot size. He was also concerned with the traffic eight new families are
going to add on West Staring Lane and Ridge Road. He commented they
have so few neighborhoods like this in Eden Prairie and asked the City not to
give them all away.
Donna Hart, 9061 East Sunrise Circle, noted their property is northwest of
3

this development and have lived there for 20 years. She said she was opposed
to having smaller lots and the retaining walls because they will be looking up
at them. She was concerned this would depreciate the value of their home.
She was opposed to the tree loss percentage because they are not replacing
with the same size trees that they take out. She would like to see more of the
trees left because they will be looking up at retaining walls in the back of their
house. She was also opposed to having so many homes out there. They need
to go from large lots to medium lots to small lots because there is no buffer
zone.
Paul Edwardson, 9037 West Staring Lane, was concerned about the density
proposed but was not against developing these lots. He likes the area, its
quietness and spaciousness, and there's not a lot of traffic. He had a concern
about the City plan description that talks about the average lot size of 17,000
square feet being consistent with the abutting Boulder Pointe single family
lots. He said this is going to be part of the Staring Lane neighborhood, not
the Boulder Pointe neighborhood, and believes these homes should be
consistent with what's in the Staring Lane neighborhood which is larger lots
and less homes. He was not against homes being put in there but he would
like to see the number of homes drop a little. He was also concerned about
the increase in traffic as a result of this development.
Janet Rearing, 8997 West Hill Point, said they have about an acre in the back
which is a natural basin. She has four children and doesn't want the retaining
walls on the project. When they bought the property they were told it would
stay natural. The project engineer did say there was a possibility of a waiver
so they didn't have these retaining walls. When the Mississippi overflowed
there was a natural pond and there was no overflow. She thinks there's plenty
of area for drainage. They had no problem with natural drainage. ,If they
could file a waiver, it would save these people the problem of a retaining wall.
Kroiss stated he only really needs the retaining walls on one particular lot, the
lot that abuts the NURP pond. He's only doing that because of the NURP
pond otherwise he would not needs walls there at all. There was a proposal
that talked about the possibility of looking at a cash situation with the City on
the NURP pond. He said he can go either way on that. It's not a problem for
them. He would only need retaining walls on one lot.
Foote asked if staff preferred the NURP pond or the cash instead. Gray
explained why staff would prefer a long term solution and would feel
4
/f
Planning Commis~ion Minutes
January 12, 1998
comfortable with a later retro-fit solution.
Ismail asked if the economy would enable them to lower the development
down to six lots instead of eight. Kroiss replied seven is doable and six is
pretty tough economically. It's all an economic situation. He said their goal
is to bring affordable housing into the City. He's trying to market the lots in
the $60,000 to $80,000 price range instead of $100,000. They can do six
homes but the price will just go up.
Habicht was not comfortable changing the zoning to Rl-13.5 in this instance
and part of the argument raised for changing the zoning was the fact that this
property abuts Boulder Pointe to the north. He thinks, in reality, less than 20
percent of this property actually abuts that area, and probably 80 percent is
Staring Lane. He feels they are going to have the same tree loss with six or
seven houses. There is no density transfer here and nothing to really justify
smaller lots other than the economics. The property should stay at Rl-22
because that's the character of the neighborhood. He was also concerned
about setting a precedent.
Foote said he was concerned about the NURP pond and the retaining walls
but those issues have been addressed already. He appreciated Mr. Kroiss'
attempt at keeping the lot price down but he also does not want to see six half
million dollar homes go up either.
Habicht asked what waivers would be required for the average lot size if this
were kept RI-22 assuming the lot size meets the RI-22 standard. Franzen
explained the waivers that would be needed. Habicht recommended staying
with the Rl-22 zoning because that's what was there before and that's what
the other people built on and they have the larger lot size. It just does not
seem right to change one piece of that property to RI-13.5 zoning when
everything else in the area is RI-22.
Wissner commented she has driven by this area and it has a certain charm to
it. She was concerned about setting a precedent for other people starting to
develop there in the future. She would be more comfortable supporting the
project with the removal of one lot making it seven lots.
Sandstad commented with the likely removal of the retaining walls and the
different solution for the ponding, he was more comfortable with the project
and supported the eight lots.

Planninq Commission Minutes
January 12, 1998
Bob Broich said keeping it at eight lots is setting a rezoning precedent. This
could mean 15 to 20 additional houses for that area if all the lots get to be
rezoned. He said the Commission should listen to the residents and the people
that live around the property. This is not what they are looking for.
Clinton stated he would be more inclined to keep it at Rl-22 as opposed to
Rl-13.5.
Foote said he would support either Rl-22 or Rl-13.5 because he was not that
concerned about it. He would like to eliminate one lot which makes the lots
larger if they don't comply with Rl-22. His biggest concern is the NURP
pond and eliminating the retaining walls.
MOTION 1: Sandstad moved, seconded by Foote, to close the public
hearing. Motion carried 7-0.
MOTION 2: Foote moved, seconded by Wissner, to remove the motion to
close the public hearing. Motion carried 7-0.
MOTION 3: Foote moved, seconded by Wissner, to continue the public
hearing for 30 days and to direct the developer to come back with a plan for
seven lots with Rl-22 zoning, with variances, and the removal of the retaining
wall and the NURP pond. Motion carried 5-2 with the no votes by
Alexander and Sandstad.
Franzen noted because this isn't a Planned Unit Development, the Planning
Commission will not be able to take action on a variance from any of the
requirements of the Rl-22 District. That will be left up to the Board of
Appeals and Adjustments to make that recommendation.

Continued from January 12, 1998:
A. MAPLE ADDITION by MSS Holdings. Request for Rezoning from Rl-22
to Rl-13.5 on 3.64 acres and Preliminary Plat of 3.64 acres into 8 lots.
Location: 9060 Staring Lane West.
Kipp reviewed the staff report and noted this project was continued at the
January 12, 1998 Planning Commission meeting with direction that the
proponent revise the plan from eight to seven lots, and pursue variances for
lot size within the existing Rl-22 Zoning District. The plans have been
revised for that direction. The tree loss has not changed and still remains at
37 percent, and staffis still asking for tree replacement of 109 caliper inches.
The density has been reduced from 2.19 units per acre to 1.92 units per acre.
The lot size has increased approximately 2,000 square feet per lot for an
average lot size of 19,960 square feet. Minimum lot size within that zoning
district is 22,000.
Clinton announced they would open up the public hearing even though the
developer was not present.
The public hearing was opened.
Bob Broich, 9105 Mitchell Road, commented homes priced at $275,000 to
$350,000 are not affordable homes as stated by Mr. Kroiss. He presented a
printout from Burnet Realty reflecting 60 homes up for sale in Eden Prairie
valued from $250,000 to $375,000. He does not see this as a shortage as
referred to by Mr. Kroiss. The amount of homes for sale combined with the
new land available for rezoning and the expansion of the MUSA line in Eden
Prairie offsets any need for rezoning this parcel. He also made reference to
an article in the Eden Prairie newspaper that said the City is ahead of their
goals as far as affordable housing is concerned. He pointed out on the
colored map all the neighbors who signed the petition against this rezoning.
He didn't understand how the Commission could grant this rezoning with the
opposition from the neighborhood. This will only cause the neighborhood to
loose all it's great chatm. He said 37 percent tree loss is a little bit over what
the City likes and was concerned about cutting down all the beautiful trees to
accommodate one or two more houses. He would like the zoning to stay the
way it is and for no variances to be granted.

Planning Commission Minutes
February 9, 1998
Kathleen Schwankl, 9090 West Staring Lane, noted they own the land that
borders the south and west side of this property. She was concerned the
added collection of water will impact their property due to the density of this
project and the steeper grading. The outlot from the cul-de-sac will not
provide the entire solution to the storm drainage issue and there is no grading
down below that gives an outlet for any water collection. It would have
collected in a NURP pond but that's been eliminated.
She was concerned about the cash distribution to the sewer and water fund
that's been recommended because if and when her property is developed, the
existing collection area would be reconstructed and that could be expensive.
She asked what portion does the City take responsibility and what would be
her portion. Gray explained the project and how it could be applied to a more
regional project. He noted they would pay the same proportion as Maple Hills
based on the amount of property they have.
Broich commented seven lots will also require rezoning and that's what he and
the neighbors are opposed to. They are opposed to seven lots as much as
they are the eight. They would rather see three lots but they can live with six.
The issue is rezoning. Six lots would comply with the zoning as it stands
now.
Foote said when the Commission instructed Mr. Kroiss to remove one lot, he
was under the impression that it would probably fit within the realm of the
Rl-22 zoning district and will need a variance on one or two lots, not six of
the seven as proposed. His concern is how the Board of Appeals is going to
look at this.
Kipp explained the Board of Appeals is first going to ask the developer for
the hardship involved in granting the variances. The question of hardship
would need to be answered and given six ofthe seven lots need variances, it
would be difficult.
Sandstad said he has been lukewarm in supporting the original project but the
Commission, as a whole, decided it was too many lots and made the decision
to not go with the RI-13.5 zoning. If that decision stands, he doesn't see how
the Commission can approve the whole plat when virtually none of the lots
meet the standard. In his opinion, that is improper action. Foote agreed with
Sandstad.

Planning Commission Minutes
February 9, 1998
Foote commented when the Commission originally talked with Mr. Kroiss, he
pretty much said he would be able to fit all the lots with the exception of one
within the RI-22 zoning district. Now it turns out none of them fit except
one. He felt the Commission should fall back to Rl-13.5 with seven lots or
go to Rl-22 with six lots. He doesn't want to put the Board of Appeals into
a situation of granting these kinds of variances.
Alexander supported the Rl-22 zoning.
Clinton said he shared the same concerns as the other commissioners. If they
add up the lot size and divide it by 22,000 sq. ft., they would get six lots
instead of seven. He said Mr. Kroiss was concerned about pricing but he
doesn't feel it would terribly effect the price of the homes that much.
Foote said he would be more concerned about the pricing if this was
affordable housing but $275,000 is still well above any kind of affordable
range.
Kipp stated if the Commission is looking at passing their motion not to rezone
the property, rather than specify any particular number of lots, they may just
want to recommend revising the plans to meet the existing Rl-22 zoning
district.
Sandstad continued to support the seven lots just as he did the eight lots, just
to get away from pushing the cost up. He still thought traffic is not a
significant issue and it would be reasonable to develop to RI-13.5 in a larger
area which is before them now. He said he was not sure of the advisability of
the Rl-13.5 because the Commission is obligated to deal with the proponent's
request on a case value. Kipp explained what the Commission's options are.
MOTION 1: Foote moved, seconded by Alexander, to continue the public
hearing for 30 days to reevaluate the proposal for the existing Rl-22 zoning
district. Motion carried 3-1 with the no vote by Sandstad.

Supplemental Staff Report to the February 20, 1998 Cormnumty Development
Staff Report Regarding Maple Hill Addition
This proposed project is located on West Staring Lane and involves 3.64 acres ofland. Currently,
the zoning is RI-22 and the developer's proposing six single family lots within the Rl-22 zoning
district.
NATURAL RESOURCE ISSUES
Tree Loss/Replacement
There is a total of87 trees that are defined as significant by City Code on this property. These trees
total 1,422 diameter inches. Thirty-seven trees would be lost due to grading for a total of 528
diameter inches. This converts to a 37% loss of significant trees on the site. The tree replacement
required for mitigation of this tree loss is 259 caliper inches of replacement trees.
This property is a large single family lot with many planted trees. A lot of the trees that are planted
on the perimeter were planted to provide screening from adjacent properties. The staffhas taken this
factor into consideration and also realizes that a lot of the trees that were planted on the property
have the capability of either being moved to a new site with a tree spade or remaining following
grading. Because of those factors, the staff is recommending a credit of 150 inches toward the
mitigation plan required for this project. Some of the trees that are remaining on the site will be ash,
maple, cedar, silver maple, oak, Black Hills spruce, and Colorado spruce. The staff has spoken with
the developer about this fact, and has requested that a landscape plan be submitted for 109 caliper
inches of replacement trees. The developer would have to bond for 259 inches of tree replacement
in the event that any trees died as a result of construction activity.
NURP Pond
The proponent is offering to provide a cash contribution to the storm water utility in lieu of
constructing an NURP pond.
This project bas been reviewed by the City Engineering Department and is currently being reviewed
by the Watershed District. Based on the outcome of the Watershed District review, the developer
may be required to put an NURP pond in the northerly comer of the project. If this is required by
the Watershed District, the NURP pond will serve the for runoff from the proposed street and
pretreat the water prior to discharge into a dry pond on the Jilortherly boundary.
Sidewalks and Trails
There are no proposed sidewalks or trails in conjunction with this development. No sidewalks or
trails are proposed in the Comprehensive Park Plan for West Staring Lane.
RECOMMENDATION:
This project was reviewed at the February 23, 1998 Planning Commission meeting. The project was
approved by a 6-0 vote. Staff would recommend approval of this project based on the
recommendations in the Community Development Staff Report of February 20, 1998 and the
recommendations within this supplemental staff report.

A. Maple Addition
Steve Kroiss reviewed the development plans and requested approval from the
Commission. Fox gave the staff report and noted that staff recommended approval
of the project. He noted that because it was an existing large single family lot there
were many large trees that were originally planted around the perimeter which will
PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL
RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES

mostly remain on the site. Staff recommends that credit be given for transplanting
small trees presently existing on the site, which will reduce the bonding for the
developer but would allow them to use existing trees toward landscaping credit if they
survive being transplanted.
Koenig asked if the property extended to the ravine and Fox responded it goes down
to the bottom of the slope. Kroiss stated the ravine was mainly located on different
property. Hilgeman asked about the 37% tree loss and if the existing significant trees
were included in the tree loss calculations. Fox responded negatively, noting those
were given credit to provide an incentive for the proponent to save as many existing
trees as possible. Lambert noted this was a property owner who planted these trees
on his lot to enhance his home and the City of Eden Prairie. If the City wants people
to plant trees on their property in the future they have to make sure they will not be
penalized for planting trees on lots which could be subdivided in the future.
Fox commented the developer will have to provide the bond for the landscaping
which would be the same as ifhe was providing landscape material from a nursery or
using existing trees from the property. Brown inquired why the number of homes
could not be reduced so the tree loss would not be so significant. Lambert responded
that the developer met the density requirement stipulated by the Zoning Ordinance the
City could not require him to reduce the number oflots in the development, especially
because he was removing trees he had planted. He reminded the Commission that the
30% figure was only a goal, and was not mandated by Ordinance.
MOTION:Wilsonmoved, seconded by Corneille, to recommend approval of Maple
Hill Addition based on the recommendations in the Community Development Staff
Report dated February 20, 1998 and recommendations within the supplemental staff
report dated February 25, 1998. Motion carried 7-0.
B. Eden Prairie High School Activitr Center/Turf Bubble
Michael Darian representing Independent School District 272 and Jay Pomeroy who
is the Landscape Architect were present. Pomeroy discussed the landscaping which
will be done around the perimeter of the site and around the bubble to provide
screening and buffering from the adjacent residential properties. There will be
landscaping around the activity center also to mitigate the mass of the building and
soften its appearance. He discussed the plants which will be included in the plan and
the sizes of the plantings which will be used. He noted the heights of the trees used
to screen the bubble would be varied to provide some interest as well as screening.

Pre-Purchase Home Buyer Education and Counseling
HOME Line's Center for Homeownership provided pre-purchase home buyer
education and counseling for 12 Eden Prairie households.
Our three-part Home Stretch home buyers workshops are offered monthly. The
workshops provide information on each step of the home buying process. The
curriculum meets or exceeds FHA, MHFA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
guidelines. We also offer individual home buyer counseling to assist potential
home buyers in developing an action plan to overcome barriers to
homeownership. The most common barriers are lack of down payment and
closing costs, credit problems, and insufficient income
Home Maintenance, Repair and Rehab
HOME Line's Home Rehab Program assists suburban Hennepin County
homeowners who have home maintenance, repair or rehab needs. Our staff can
provide technical assistance in identifying needed repairs, writing specifications,
finding qualified contractors, evaluating bids, and working with contractors until
job completion. We also provide information on numerous loan and grant
programs that will finance the cost of home repairs and rehab.
Another component of the program is a series of workshops for homeowners.
These workshops include topics such as Weatherization, Dream House or
Money Pit? -How To Know The Difference, small plumbing repairs and basic
home repairs.

Mr. David Lindahl, City Planner
City of Eden Prairie
8080 Mitchell Road
Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Dear Mr. Lindahl:
Fax 541-0841
Senior Community Services is requesting that the City of Eden
Prairie allocate $10,067 from it's share of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Year XXIV funds to support the
HOME Program. This is the same amount approved for the current
year. Enclosed is a Hennepin County Request for Funding
application filled out for the City to facilitate our request.
Eden Prairie's CDBG funds will be leveraged from client fees,
funding from the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches
(GMCC) and from donations. The HOME Program operates on a
sliding fee scale. Clients cover approximately one-quarter of the
Programs' cost. GMCC funding, utilizing Federal Title III monies,
helps to subsidize chore services. Friends of HOME, an
organization that solicits private donations, helps to fill the
remaining gap between the City's CDBG funds and the total
Program expense.
I will endeavor to have someone present for the Housing Board
meeting on February 5th.
Sincerely, ()

H.O.M.E.
(Household & Outside Maintenance for Elderly)
Program Summary
SUMMARY PARAGRAPH -The H.O.M.E. Program is a homemaker, maintenance, and
chore program designed as a cost-effective alternative to long tenn care for the elderly
currently operating in the cities of Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Richfield,
Minnetonka, Brooklyn Center and St. Louis Park. Disabled persons are also eligible
for the services. The project maintains a core staff of trained individuals to assure
prompt, quality service and a skills bank component. Clients are asked to contribute
according to their ability to pay, based on a sliding scale.
TARGET POPULATION -Consumers of H.O.M.E. services are elderly residents age
60+ or people with disabilities who live independently and need some affordable in-
home services in order to maintain their residence or property. The H.O.M.E. Program
serves those clients who need assistance but are not financially capable of paying the
full cost of service as well as frail older adults who require services designed to meet
the needs of vulnerable elderly.
SERVICES -The philosophy of the H.O.M.E. Program is to maintain independence for
elderly and avoid premature placement in nursing homes by providing homemaker,
maintenance, and chore services. Clients are asked to contribute based on a sliding-
fee scale. Homemaker services include housecleaning, food preparation, grocery
shopping, non-medical personal care, and laundry. Assessments are made and
services provided according to the specific needs of each client for type of service,
time and frequency. Chore/home maintenance services include snow removal, lawn
care, installation of security features, carpentry, minor plumbing, window washing,
painting, weatherization, minor roof repair and other maintenance jobs needed to
enable elderly residents to remain in their homes, as well as maintaining their homes
in an acceptable manner.
STAFF -Home maintenance and homemaker services are provided by workers who
are trained in the necessary skill areas and techniques for working with older persons.
Skills Bank Workers are also utilized to provide chore services. All staff report to the
Program Director, who is responsible for the management and supervision of H.O.M.E.
Other staff and volunteers provide administrative and clerical support.
FACILITY -Services are provided in the homes of elderly residents. The office is
located at Creekside Community Center, 9801 Penn Ave. South, Bloomington 55431,
and a satellite office is located at the Minnetonka Center.
PLACEMENT PROCEDURE -Clients gain access to the program either by a referral
from an area agency or by calling the H.O.M.E. office and requesting service.
FUNDING SOURCES -Revenues are derived from client Fees, Hennepin County, the
Greater Minneapolis Council at Churches (GMCC), municipalities in which the
program operates, the United Way, and contributions from clients and the community
through an associated organization called Friends of HOME.

REQUEST:
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission reviewed the City staff request to hire a
consultant to the assist the City staff and the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
in developing a management plan and conceptual site plans for all of the conservation areas within
the City. The Commission recommended the City Council authorize staff to obtain proposals that
would include costs for this project.
City staff have applied for a grant to assist in the funding of this project. Staff would anticipate that
this project might cost between $25,000 and $30,000. Staff applied for a matching grant that would
provide up to $15,000 for this project. Staff budgets $20,000 per year for park planing purposes
through the general fund. Staff would anticipate that this project would be initiated in Mayor June
of this year and completed in Mayor June of 1999.
Many of the citizens who worked on the Management Plan for the Prairie Bluff Conservation Area
are interested in continuing to work with the City on developing an overall City management plan
for all of our conservation areas, as well as specific management practices and concept site plans for
each of the eight remaining conservation areas.
CITY CONSERVATION AREAS:
1. Prairie Bluff Conservation Areas -completed
2. Edenbrook Conservation Area

Conservation Area Management Plans and Concept Site Plans
City staff requests the City Council authorize hiring a consultant to assist city staff and the Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission in developing management plans and conceptual site
plans for all of the conservation areas within the city. The city recently completed a management plan
for the Prairie Bluff Conservation Area. That plan included a concept site plan depicting the location
of a trail system through the site that would begin at Miller Spring and end in the northeast portion
of the site.
City staff are recommending the development of a Conservation Area Management Plan that would
be composed of a mission statement that would provide overall direction to the city's management
efforts relating to conservation areas through a vision statement for Eden Prairie's open spaces. It
would also contain general policy guidelines which would provide the framework from which the city
would develop specific management practices for each type of conservation area, as well as site
specific plans. Staff would further recommend development of concept site plans for each of the
remaining eight conservation areas as a part of this contract. Individual master plans would have to
be developed for each site under a separate contract.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The city hired a naturalist consultant to assist city staff and a citizen advisory committee in the
development of a Management Plan for the Prairie Bluff Conservation Area. This conservation area
was unique to the city in that the majority of the site was native prairie and oak savannah. The
majority of the other sites are oak basswood forests located along creek valleys or wet meadows and
wetlands associated with floodplain property. The exception to that generalization is the Riley Creek
Woods, a maple basswood forest, and the Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area, which contains
elements of native prairie, maple basswood forest, wetlands and an oak basswood forest. The city
has nearly 1000 acres of conservation land (land that has been acquired for the purpose of preserving
it in its natural condition). The concept of "preserving a parcel of property in its natural condition"
requires a much more detailed definition as that statement will have a different meaning to different
people, in fact, there is very little "natural" about the condition of any land in Eden Prairie. Man has
had a significant influence on all of the land for well over 100 years.
City staffhave always believed that the ultimate development and protection of these areas should
have guidelines for development similar to the Hennepin Park District guidelines for their park
reserves. Those guidelines are based on the principle that no more than 20% of a park reserve parcel
may be in impacted by development for active use, recreation or education. A minimum of at least
80% of each parcel should be restored to its natural condition and retained in an undeveloped state,
with an emphasis on restoration of native plant communities.
The city had a good example of how difficult it will be to develop even a trail system through these
conservation areas when the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Connnission received a petition
from some neighbors near the Edenbrook Conservation Area to make a trail connection from the east
to the west side of the conservation area. Many property owners that live around the conservation
area objected to "destroying" the conservation area by developing a trail through that site. After the
decision was made to delay the project, city staff heard from residents from other parts of the
community that were disappointed in that decision and had been unaware that a decision for a trail
was being considered because the only people notified of the public hearing were those immediately
around the Edenbrook Conservation Area.
Staff are recommending a process to develop management plans and concept site plans for all of the
conservation areas within the community that would determine what area of each site should be
protected, where trails could and should be developed, where accesses should be developed, how
large those accesses should be, and what management techniques should be utilized in order to
restore the "natural condition" of the site and to retain the majority of those sites in their "natural
condition. "
Staffwould recommend a consultant that would have a landscape architect on its team, as well as an
ecologist. Staff would further recommend that this consultant work with city staff and a citizens
advisory committee that would be ad hoc to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission for the sole purpose of developing this management plan and these concept site plans.
Once the management plan and concept site plans are approved, staff would then recommend
development of specific master plans for each site that would provide greater detail as to how each
site should be developed.
The management practices could begin on each site as soon as the management plan is completed;
however, no development would occur on any site until a master plan has been reviewed and
approved by the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and the City Council. Staff
would further recommend public hearings on all master plans prior to initiating development on those
sites.
PROPOSED PROCESS:
Staff would recommend the following process for completing the above-mentioned projects:
-3
1. Staff to develop a Request for Proposal for consulting services to complete the management
plan and concept site plans -March 1998
2. City hire a consultant to begin the process and appoint a citizen committee to work with the
consultant -April 1998 (The committee would consist of volunteers obtained from a public
notice ad in the Eden Prairie News.)
3. Consultant to work with the city staff and citizen's committee, touring all sites prior to
developing the overall management plan and the site specific guidelines and concept plans -
April to October 1998
4. Committee to review first draft of management plan and concept site plans -November 1998
5. Final draft of management plans and concept site plans submitted to Parks, Recreation and
Natural Resources Commission and City Council-February 1999
6. Contract let for development of master plans for each site -April 1999
7. First draft of the master plans reviewed by the Parks Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission -September 1999
8. Public hearings for master plans held -October and November 1999
9. City Council approves master plans for all sites -January 2000
10. First phase development of conservation areas begins in May 2000

and the structures are ADA accessible. Hilgeman asked if they could eliminate the tot
system and get two more swings and one spring animal in exchange and Wenner
responded that could be done.
Fox reviewed the proposal from Saint Croix Recreation Company, and noted that part
of the plan was for 2-5 year olds and the remainder for older kids. Koenig asked if
things could be moved around on these plans, and Fox responded affirmatively, but
the proposals are based on the square footage of the safety surfacing which could
change the cost of the systems.
The Conunission discussed the proposals for Rice Marsh Lake, and it was noted that
the people in the audience liked proposal #2. Discussion ensued regarding how long
these play structures would last, and Lambert responded they were supposed to last
for about 20 years. Some decks were painted and some were rubberized.
Maintenance concerns were discussed.
MOTION: Wilson moved, seconded by Hilgeman, to approve the proposal by
FIanagan Sales, Inc. For the Rice Marsh Lake park with the elimination of the log roll,
the addition of two more swings, and work with staff to more centrally locate the
shelter. The ADA swing is to be purchased from another vender. Motion carried
7-0.

Robert A. Lambert, Director Murphy's Landing , I .. 2-. i
REQUEST:
Attached to this memorandum is a letter dated March 4, 1998 from Shirley Olson, Executive Director
of Murphy's' Landing, explaining what portions ofthe original project have been funded to date, and
what efforts are being taken to obtain additional funding to complete the Minnesota Valley Bike Trail
/Murphy's Inn, Boat Landing and Ferry Project. Ms. Olson is also requesting a confirmation ofthe
commitment of$25,000 from the City of Eden Prairie toward this project. The City had originally
committed $25,000 to be paid at $5,000 per year toward this project. The funding that has been
approved will include the bike trail, the three tiered landing, the ferry landing, the overlook, and the
shelter. This phase of the project will not include the ferry. A future project will include the
reconstruction of the inn and construction of a working ferry.
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends supporting this request and believe that once the first phase is completed, the
second phase of the project, which will include completion of a working ferry, is very likely provided
the City of Eden Prairie also applies for ISTEA funds that would construct a bicycle trail on or
adjacent to Indian Road from 212 to the ferry, as well as westerly to the Shakopee bridge. City staff
have contacted representatives of the Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge to determine if they are
interested in a joint project for development of that trail.

Re: Minnesota Valley Bike Trail/Murphy's Inn, Boat Landing and Ferry Project
As you are all aware,-Murphy's Landing and the Department of Natural Resources
submitted two proposals for the funding of this project to the Metropolitan Council for
consideration in receiving ISTEA funds. On February 13, we received notice that'
$640,780 in funds will begrahted for the Minnesota Valley Trail portion of this
project. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will be contributing
$160,195 of their own funds as well. The other portion of our request received,
eligibility but did not get funded in this round. This project will now go to the
Minnesota Department of Transportation who -will oversee engineering and ,
implementation. The ISTEA funds are for projects scheduled in fiscal years 2,000 and
2, bo 1. This means that our project will begin in July of 1999.
By using the tSTEA funding, the DNR funds and the matching funds that each of us
has committed to this project, we can complete all parts of the project which involve
construction on or near the river without waiting for further funding. This would
inylude, the bike trail, the three tiered landing, the ferry landing, the overl.ook and the
shelter. Please see the attached budget for more detaiL With your permission, we
would like to proceed. If this is amenable, we Will-set a mee!ing with the assigned Mn
DOT engineer and our group which will include Bill Weir from the DNR and Larry
Samsted,'Engineer for· the Minnesota Watershed District to discuss how to coordinate
this project in one piece. Regarding raising funds for the 'remainder of this project .'-
which includes the reconstruction of the inn and construction of a working ferry, we
-have been strongly encouraged to resubmit the proposal for ISTEA consideration in
the spring of 1999 which we plan to do. Ifwe are successful in that round, we could
still receive fundi~g in the year 2,000. -Meanwhile, ~e are also seeki'ng ,funds from
other sources. Last month, we submitted a proposal for LClvlRfunding. I have .
enclosed a copy for your iriformation .. We will continue to explore other options as
they .come up.

m. CONTEXT:
A. Significance: This project pulls together the resources of multiple groups to create a focal point for historical
and environmental education about the Minnesota River. It has been spearheaded by the Minnesota Valley
Restoration Project dba Murphy's Landing. Murphy's Landing is a 501 (C)(3) living history museum whose
mission is to collect, preserve and interpret the history of the Minnesota River Valley. It provides the public with a
dynamic educational setting in which to learn about the rich heritage of our region. The Landing is located on 88
acres along the Minnesota River near Shakopee, Minnesota. Approximately 1/3 of this property is left in its natural
state. At this location, in the mid-1800s, Major Richard Murphy who was the Indian Agent for this territory
operated a ferry across the Minnesota River and built an inn which was a stagecoach and steamboat stop. This inn
was destroyed by fire in the 1960s, but the foundation remains intact and is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. This project will rebuild Murphy's Inn. create a three tiered boat landing for everything from
canoes to steamboats and create a working ferry across the Minnesota River for bicycles and pedestrians. This
.-.-.--. -~,-.---\.
project is a direct extension of plans already in existence for all of the parties involved and protects our valuable
resource, the Minnesota River. The ferry will be operated by a joint powers agreement between the cities of Eden
Prairie and Shakopee and Murphy's Landing. The meeting and office space created by rebuilding Murphy's Inn
will be designated for groups concerned with the cultural and environmental preservation of the Minnesota River.
We have consulted with the Director of the Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge which is across the river and would
connect via the ferry to ensure that this plan fits in with their master plan. The planned boat landing would allow
for handicap accessibility to the rest rooms and shelter that are part of the DNR trail plan. It places the boat
landing at a location on the river which is environmentally sound and accessible to all persons. This project closely
relates to The Minnesota Valley Trail which will run along the Minnesota River through the Murphy's Landing
site. The agreement granting the DNR easements to this trail have been signed by the City of Shakopee and
Murphy's Landing. The DNR will be responsible for maintenance and operations of the trail. This trail now
deadheads in the public park in Shakopee which is adjacent to the Murphy's Landing site. Both the cities of Eden
Prairie and Shakopee have existing or planned bike trails which feed into the Minnesota Valley Trail which
eventually will run from Fort Snelling to Mankato.
B. Strategy: Historic Sites
C. Time: July, 1999 -December, 2001
D. Budget History:
This is the first project we have submitted for LCMR funding. This project is closely related to the completion of
the official Minnesota Valley Trail which is being funded by the DNR and TEP funds. The details of that funding
is listed in part 2 below. Part 1 is a list of funding committed for this proposal. Please see attached letters of
commitment. The city of Shakopee has agreed to be the fiscal agent in this project.

Title: Reconstruction of historic Murphy's Inn, ferry and landing
Project Manager: Shirley Olson
Aff'Iliation: Executive Director, Murphy's Landing
Telephone Number: (612) 445-6901
SUSTAINABILITY
The master plan for Murphy's Landing which was prepared by Scrug~ & Hammond Inc. Landscape Architects, 25 years
ago states, " one purpose of the site is to preserve the river front and lowlands as a natural area. a scenic presentation of
colonial times, a habitat for wildlife. an ecological study area for student or naturalist." The Board of Trustees of Murphy's
Landing is committed to upholding these principles. This is evident in our parking lots which are not paved, non-use of
motorized traffic on the site and transportation of our visitors by horse and trolley. We use softscape throughout the site to
prevent run-off and erosion. Approximately one-third of the site is in the flood plain and left in its natural state. The
buildings on the site including Murphy's Inn are located above the flood plain.
Murphy's Landing is rich in history. Within its boundaries are remnants of Native American Burial Mounds which we
preserve and maintain in their present day condition. Historical data indicates that the villages of the Mdewakanton Tribes
of Chief Shakpay were located on our site. The last battle between the Dakota and the Ojibwe was staged here. The
Murphy's Landing ferry was used to transport the warriors and the dead and wounded across the river. The question we
asked ourselves for this project is, How do we encourage and allow for public use and appreciation of Murphy's Inn and our
property along the Minnesota River while maintaining its history and environment?
The Minnesota River is one of the few rivers in a major metropolitan area whose borders are left primarily in a truly natural
state. The section through Murphy's Landing has no commercial use on either bank. As we negotiated the easement for
the bike trail with the DNR, we took care to use an existing nature trail which runs along the river. This will reduce the
amount of disturbance necessary for its installation and upkeep. This path will be paved, however, the width of the trail is
kept at a minimum and surrounding vegetation will be left intact to absorb run-off. We have worked with Larry Samsted,
the engineer for the Minnesota River Watershed District on the plans for the boat landing and ferry crossing. The site
(which coincidentally is most likely the historic location) is on a low bank on a slight curve in the river where river current
is minimal. This will be a landing and not a boat launch site. It contains public rest rooms. a shelter and environmental-
and historical graphics. The proposed landing would also accommodate a paddle wheeler which could carry the public on -
excursions. The river channel is currently deep enough for this type of use and would not require further dredging. This
will replace an existing landing which is located on a high bank upriver. The current site is not handicap accessible and is
prone to destruction by the river. To prepare and maintain the current site for public use would not be a sound choice either
environmentally or economically. The ferry will operate off from a simple cable and windlass system. When the cable is
not in use, it drops to the bottom of the river to allow for river traffic. Its use will be restricted to pedestrians and bicycles.
At Murphy's Landing, access will be from the existing parking lot(non-paved) at the east end of the site. The Murphy's Inn
site is on the National Register of historic Places. We will work with the compliance office of the Minnesota State
Historical Society to ensure the integrity of this structure and the surrounding grounds. Archaeological surveys, both test
plot and non-invasive will be conducted to protect existing historical infonnation. Since the basement is intact, no new
excavation will be necessary. The surrounding grounds will be softscaped in keeping with our historic setting. We will
restore 2 acres of indigenous prairie leading from the Inn to the river which will replace the non-native vegetation which
has crept in.
The benefits to the surrounding communities in this project is readily evident. Public access can be achieved in three ways:
the Minnesota Valley Trail, the river, and through the Murphy's Landing site. All portions of this project that involve the
trail. landing, and ferry will be free and open to the public. Visitors touring the Inn and Murphy's Landing site will be
charged normal admittance fees which are $8. for adults, $6. for seniors and students and free for those 5 and under. This
includes horse drawn trolley rides and parking. Discounts of $2. per ticket are readily available for those with economic
need. Last year, 40,000 people toured the Landing. This included 17,000 school children who were give a reduced
admission rate of $5. The Landing is located 2 miles from highway 169 which is projected to carry 42,000 ADTs in the
year 2020. The Minnesota Valley Trail system and its feeder systems, when completed, will directly accommodate people
from St Paul to Mankato. We have made no attempt to assess the future use of the boat landing, but we can accommodate
water craft from canoes to pleasure boats. The planned use for the Inn includes first floor meeting and interpretive space to
serve the general public. The second floor will be designated for affordable (at-cost) office space for groups whose purpose
is to preserve environmental and cultural conditions of the Minnesota River. Planned development for the city of Shakopee
includes revitalization of the downtown area along the river. This includes living space combined with retail space.
Completion of this scenic trail and the addition of historic enhancements will contribute to the economic viability of this
project. This kind of land use encourages bicycle and pedestrian fOnDS of transportation. It is possible that people who are
commuting to jobs across the river may someday choose to connect via the trail system and ferry_
