Harris thought the Council had discussed reducing the density and the tree
loss during the original discussion. Tyra-Lukens said she was reluctant to
approve a Guide Plan change in a in-fill project like this one.
Case said he respects the process and the input that the neighbors give to
the process, and would be willing to reconsider his decision if the neighbors
were happy with a revised project; however, he thought we need to look
carefully for reasons to change the Guide Plan.
Harris noted any major changes to the development would require a zoning
change. She said the Council relies on citizen review at the Parks and
Planning Commissions during the review of a development.

Regarding item C, Harris noted the summary statement didn't jibe
with the resolution as she saw it. Jullie said it is meant to clarify the
existing situation where we have gone to a car allowance for the City
Manager rather than a take-home vehicle. The Police Chief now has
a City-owned vehicle for his use.
MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to
approve items A-Ion the Consent Calendar. Motion carried 5-0.
V. PUBLIC HEARINGS/MEETINGS
A. SOUTHWEST CROSSING 10400 BUILDING by Liberty Property
Development Corporation. Request for Planned Unit Development
Concept Review on 25.38 acres, Planned Unit Development District
Review on 13.28 acres, Zoning District Change from Rural to Office
on 13.28 acres, Site Plan Review on 13.28 acres and Preliminary
Plat of 25.38 acres into one lot and one outlot. Location: Viking
Drive. (Resolution 97-152 for PUD Concept Review, Resolution
97 -153 for Preliminary Plat)
Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on
August 7, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News and mailed to 14 property
owners within the affected area. This is a 178,000 square foot office
building located north of Viking Drive and south of Smetana Lake.
The building height, size and setback is consistent with the 1996
Planned Unit Development for this site.
John Gattuso, representing Liberty Property Trust, reviewed the
development plans. He said 13 acres will be developed, with the
remainder to be placed in a conservation easement.

City Council Minutes

Enger said the Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve
this project at its July 28, 1997 meeting subject to the
recommendations of the Staff report of July 24, 1997. The change
from public open space to office is consistent with the original PUD.
He said waivers to City code are required for the building setback
and the building height.
Lambert said the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
Commission voted unanimously to approve the project at its August
4, 1997 meeting. subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report
of July 24, 1997, and with the requirement that a conservation
easement be placed over Outlot A.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Case, to close the
Public Hearing. Motion carried 5-0.
Case asked who will own and who will oversee the outlot. Lambert
said the Parks Commission discussed this issue. The original PUD
had a commitment from the property owner to preserve it in its
natural condition. They may choose to give it to the City at some
time, but we are requiring there be a scenic easement placed over
the outlot so that it will be preserved in the natural condition.
Case asked if it is a no cut or clear easement. Lambert said we have
different language for different scenic easements, but this one should
specify no trimming or clearing and will be similar to the easements
along Purgatory Creek.
MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to
adopt Resolution 97-152 for PUD Concept Review on 25.38 acres; to
adopt Resolution 97-153 for Preliminary Plat Approval on 25.38
acres into 1 lot and one outlot; to approve 1 st Reading of the
Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning District Change from
Rural to Office on 13.28 acres; and to direct Staff to prepare a
Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff
recommendations and the Council conditions regarding the scenic
easements. Motion carried 5-0.

B. MOUNTVIEW OFFICE BUILDING aka LAKEVIEW OFFICE
BUILDING AT SOUTHWEST CROSSING by Valley View L.L.C.
Request for Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment on 109
acres, Planned Unit Development District Review on 1.57 acres,
Rezoning from Rural to Office on 1.57 acres, Site Plan Review on
1.57 acres, and Preliminary Plat of 1.57 acres into one lot. Location:
Valley View Road and Prairie Center Drive. (Resolution 97-154 for
PUD Concept Amendment and Resolution 97-155 for
Preliminary Plat)
Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on
August 7, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News and mailed to 5 property
owners within the affected area. This site was originally approved for
restaurant use. Since the overall PUD was for a mix of office,
industrial and commercial uses, an office use would be consistent
with the intent of the PUD. The site will be rezoned from C-Regional
to office for construction of a 18,500 square foot 2-story office
building. The property will be platted into 1 lot. The building and
parking meet all setback requirements.
Bob Sofeld, representing Mountview Properties and Development
Company, reviewed the proposal.
Enger said the Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve
this project at its July 28, 1997 meeting subject to the
recommendations of the Staff report of July 24, 1997. He noted the
site was originally platted for restaurant use. There is a waiver
required for the percentage of impervious surface within a Shoreland
area to allow 56% rather than 30%. The Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission did not review this project.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Case, to close the
Public Hearing. Motion carried 5-0.
Thorfinnson said sometime earlier this summer he drove by this
property and noted most of the trees were gone. He asked what
allowed them to remove the trees at that time. Enger said proponent
had come before the Council for a grading permit and received
approval to remove the trees.

MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to
adopt Resolution 97-154 for PUD Concept Amendment on 109
acres; to adopt Resolution 97-155 for Preliminary Plat Approval on
1.57 acres into 1 lot; to approve 1 st Reading of the Ordinance for
PUD District Review and Zoning District Change from C-Reg to
office on 1.57 acres; and to direct Staff to prepare a Development
Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations.
Motion carried 5-0.
C. PRAIRIEVIEW OFFICE BUILDING by Equitable Drive L.L.C.
Request for Planned Unit Concept Review on 10.88 acres, Planned
Unit Development District Review on 10.88 acres, Rezoning from
Rural to Office on 10.88 acres, Site Plan Review on 10.88 acres and
Preliminary Plat of 10.88 acres into one lot. Location: 7800
Equitable Drive. (Resolution 97-156 for PUD Concept Review and
Resolution 97-157 for Preliminary Plat)
Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on
August 7, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News and mailed to 13 property
owners within the affected area. The request is to rezone the 10.88
acre site from Rural to Office for construction of a 56,899 square foot
2-story office building, and to plat the property into 1 lot.
Steve Michaels, representing Equitable Drive L.L.C., reviewed the
proposal.
Enger said the Planning Commission voted unanimously for approval
of this project at its July 28,1997 meeting, subject to the
recommendations of the Staff Report of July 25, 1997. He said this
requires rezoning 10.88 acres from rural to office for construction of
an office building.
Lambert said the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
Commission voted 4-1 for approval of the project at its August 4,
1997 meeting. Commissioner Corneille voted against the proposal
on the principal that he did not understand the rationale for no cash
park fees in the Edenvale PUD. Lambert noted that decision was
made 20 years ago.
There were no comments from the audience.

MOTION: Butcher-Younghans moved, seconded by Case to close
the Public Hearing; to adopt Resolution 97-156 for PUD Concept
Review on 10.88 aces; to adopt Resolution for 97-157 Preliminary
Plat Approval on 10.88 acres into 1 lot; to approve 1 st Reading of the
Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning District Change from
Rural to Office on 10.88 acres; and to direct Staff to prepare a
Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff
recommendations. Motion carried 5-0.
D. LAND ROVER by Lejeune Investment. Request for Zoning Change
from Rural to Commercial Regional Service on 3.51 acres and Site
Plan Review on 3.51 acres. Location: South of Valley View Road,
west of Office Ridge Circle.
Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published
August 7, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News and mailed to 8 property
owners within the affected area. Land Rover is an auto dealership
on land south of Valley View Road and west of Office Ridge Circle.
The building is 17,895 square feet. There are 63 new and used cars.
The building, site plan, screening, landscaping, and lighting are
consistent with Eden Prairie Ford and Suburban Chevrolet.
Jon Hansen, owner of Lejeune Investment, said a Land Rover
dealership is not a standard car dealership. It is a lot smaller than
the local Chevrolet dealership. He said some concerns about the
soil conditions just recently surfaced; consequently they have revised
the plans and relocated the building location to the west side of the
site, made it slightly smaller, and reconfigured the parking area. He
reviewed the original plan and compared it to the revised plan, noting
that the revised drawings are not in final form.
Greg Kopischke, Westwood Professional Services, reviewed the site plan
and the landscaping plan.
Tyra-Lukens liked the way the original parking configuration screened
some of the employee and service parking area. She asked if there was
some way they could add screening of the rear lot to the revised plan.
Kopischke said they could look at that as a possibility and work with staff
to provide additional screening.
Tyra-Lukens about the test trail. Kopischke said it is a hard surface trail
and will provide an opportunity for the customers to experience the full
range of the vehicle.
City Council Minutes
August 19, 1997
Page 8
Thorfinnson asked if additional borings were done on the entire site
or just in the one area. Kopischke said numerous borings were
done, and some of the newer ones were done on the eastern part of
the site.
Enger said the public hearing information is being gathered at this
meeting because the plan is revised from that recommended for
approval by the Planning Commission. He said the Council could
request that final drawings be submitted prior to final reading. The
Planning Commission voted unanimously for approval of this project
at its July 28, 1997 meeting, subject to the recommendations of the
Staff Report of July 25, 1997. A variance is required for outdoor
sales and display from 6% to 105%.
Lambert said the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
Commission voted unanimously for approval of this project at its
August 4, 1997 meeting, subject to the recommendations of the Staff
Reports of July 25 and July 28,1997.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to close
the Public Hearing; to approve 1 st Reading of the Ordinance for
Zoning District Change from Rural to Commercial Regional Service
on 3.51 acres; and to direct Staff to prepare a Development
Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations
and the Council condition that proponent follow through with
developing the final plans before 2nd Reading. Motion carried 5-0.
E. US WEST TOWER by JPI Consultants. Request for Site Plan
Review on a 90 foot monopole zoned 1-5 Industrial Park. Location:
10001 West 78th Street.
Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published
August 7, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News and mailed to 7 property
owners within the affected area. The Site Approval process is
required because the monopole is over the 80 foot height limitation
contained in the recently adopted Telecommunications Ordinance.
David Van Landschoot, consultant for U.S. West Wireless, said they
have worked with City staff over the last five months to identify four
sites for their communication grid. He reviewed the proposal to build
a 90-foot monopole.
City Council Minutes
August 19, 1997
Page 9
Tyra-Lukens noted that, in the Planning Commission minutes,
Commissioner Ismail was concerned whether the materials being
used that are described as "adequate for 25 degrees below zero"
would be adequate for lower temperatures. Van Landschoot said
that figure is conservative; however, the engineers are not willing to
make a statement regarding lower temperatures.
Enger said the Planning Commission voted 6-0 for approval with one
abstention at its July 28, 1997 meeting, subject to the
recommendations of the Staff Report of July 25, 1997. He noted this
is the first review of a communications tower by the Council under
the new code. He referred to the letter of August 19, 1997 from A.
William Cherne, Jr., asking that the tower be relocated to the
southwest corner of the building.
Van Landschoot said because of the topography, they could not offer
much to comply with Mr. Cherne's request except to move it about
ten feet.
Case said he attended a workshop at a League of Minnesota Cities
meeting that dealt with communications towers. He said they
recommended that the City know what the tower will look like when it
is done and that can be done with a computer-generated picture. He
thought it should be a straight forward request that Staff make to be
sure we get such a rendering for every tower that comes along. He
thought the drawing should show from several different angles what
the tower will look like when completed. Enger thought it would be
possible to do that because these stUdies are like sight-line studies
where we could provide renderings from different locations around
the tower site.
Thorfinnson noted many more towers will be approved through the
administrative process than will have to come through the review
process. Regarding the letter from Mr. Cherne, he said he would be
reluctant to make any changes to the process at this point, and the
proposed tower is within the guidelines set forth by the ordinance.
There were no comments from the audience.

MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Tyra-Lukens, to close
the Public Hearing; and to adopt Resolution 97-158 for Site Plan
Review on a 90 foot monopole zoned 1-5 Industrial Park. Motion
carried 5-0.
F. US WEST TOWER by JPI Consultants. Request for Site Plan
Review on a 100 foot monopole zoned 1-2. Location: 7825 Fuller
Road.
Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on
August 7, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News and mailed to 10 property
owners within the affected area. The Site Plan Approval process is
required because the monopole is over the 80 foot height limitation
contained in the recently adopted Telecommunications Ordinance.
David Van Landschoot, consultant for U.S. West Wireless, reviewed
the proposal to build another tower on Fuller Road. He noted this
one is 100 feet because it is a co-location with Sprint PCS.
Harris noted the Telecommunications Task Force recommended
collocation whenever possible.
Enger said the Planning Commission recommended approval on a 6-
o vote with one abstention at its July 28, 1997 meeting, subject to the
recommendations of the Staff Report of July 25, 1997.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Tyra-Lukens, to close
the Public Hearing; and to adopt Resolution 97-159 for Site Plan
Review on a 100 foot monopole zoned 1-2. Motion carried 5-0.
G. VACATION 97-05 -DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENTS IN
THE BLUFF AT RIVERVIEW (RESOLUTION 97-160)
Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published July
31, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News. The plat of The Bluffs at
Riverview 2nd Addition, which was a replat of Lots 14 through 19,
Block 1, the Bluff at Riverview, was approved by the City Council on
July 8,1997. To enable unencumbered title to the replatted lots, the
underlying drainage and utility easements from The Bluff at
Riverview must be vacated.

all in Block 1, The Bluff at Riverview. Motion carried 5-0.
VI. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS

Payment of Claims as submitted. Motion carried on a roll call vote, with
Butcher-Younghans, Case, Thorfinnson, Tyra-Lukens and Harris
voting "aye."
VII. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
VIII. PETITIONS. REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
A. REVIEW THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS
DENIAL OF VARIANCE #97-08 BY RADIATOR WAREHOUSE
WEST. 6390 CARLSON DRIVE
Jullie said Radiator Warehouse West, a company located at 6390
Carlson Drive, has requested the Council to reverse a decision by
the Board of Adjustments & Appeals denying Variance Request #97-
08. This variance would have allowed them to continue to have
three portable storage units outside their building. The BOA granted
variances for three storage units for one year. The one year expired
in May of 1997. A reapplication was made under the Request for
Variance #97-08. At the June 12, 1997 meeting, the Board
determined that the requirements of the 1996 variance were not
complied with because evidence of an attempt to purchase or
conform was not submitted, and excess and additional materials
have been stored outside in violation of Variance #96-09. The
motion for denial carried 5-1.
Enger said he was not aware of a representative for proponent
present at the meeting tonight.
MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to
support the Board of Adjustments & Appeals decision denying
Variance #97-08.
II
City Council Minutes
August 19, 1997
Page 12
Case said he talked to Mr. Johnson before the last Council meeting,
and at that time he thought we could give them more time; however,
at this point they have had more time, and he is now 100% in
support the Board's decision to deny the variance request.
Butcher-Younghans thought the condition that the property is in has
a negative impact on the nearby businesses.
Harris thought they have had ample time to comply with the request
to remove the storage units.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried 5-0.
B. REQUEST FOR SUPPORT OF HISTORIC MURPHY'S LANDING
RESTORATION
Referring to the Staff Report of August 19,1997, Lambert said this
project involves restoring Murphy's Inn and Boat Landing within the
Murphy's Landing Historic Site along the Minnesota River. The
proponents of the project are seeking funding from various sources,
including $25,000 from the City of Eden Prairie. We understand that
a firm funding commitment at this time from the City is not critical;
however, endorsement by the City Council of the restoration effort is
important. He introduced Shirley Olson, Executive Director of
Murphy's Landing.
Ms. Olson reviewed the concept plans for restoration of Murphy's Inn
and Boat Landing, completion of a trail from Bloomington Ferry Road
to the bridge at Shakopee, and restoration of the ferry with moorings
on the Eden Prairie side of the Minnesota River. She said they have
applied for a transportation enhancement grant from the federal
government. She noted they met with the Heritage Preservation and
Parks Commissions and reviewed the proposal with them.
Butcher-Younghans said she strongly supports the project, both for
the concept and for helping to finance it as a partnership. She
believes the Minnesota River is one of our finest natural resources
and she commended Ms. Olson on her leadership for the project and
for getting funding from the various governmental levels.
------------------~--~-
City Council Minutes
August 19, 1997
Page 13
Tyra-Lukens thought it is a wonderful project and will provide a great
opportunity for school kids to bike to the river and then take the ferry
over to Murphy's Landing. She asked for more details on where the
ferry would go and the plans for the Eden Prairie side. Ms. Olson
said it is possible they can continue to raise funds for this and build
all of the project at once; however, they have to conduct a Feasibility
Study for the ferry. ISTEA funding could be used in the next round of
funding. They estimate the ferry could cost about $100,000. Their
goal is to keep it all open to the public and they hope to keep it free
of charge.
Case asked if we own the public right-of-way for a landing on our
side. Lambert said we own Indian Road and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service owns the land between the that road and the frontage of the
river. We have met with Fish & Wildlife staff and their initial reaction
was very positive about this project. We are developing a trail
system to connect the Eden Prairie trails to a trail along Indian Road
and then to land along the river.
Thorfinnson asked if they are asking for concept approval. Ms.
Olson said they are asking for that as well as for $25,000 in funding.
Thorfinnson asked where the $25,000 would come from. Lambert
said the request is for $5,000 per year for the next five years. The
proposal came in after staff submitted the 1998 budget request. He
thought it would be an appropriate use for cash park fees, or it could
be on a future budget request. Harris thought we could probably do
$5,000 per year.
Lambert asked City Attorney Pauly whether we could legally give
money to Murphy's Landing for the project. Ms. Olson noted they
are setting up funding for the project that is all contingent on getting
the federal funding. The project will be administered by the City of
Shakopee. Harris thought we would probably have to establish a
Joint Powers Agreement to define the benefit to the City. Pauly said
we would need to spell out the improvements that would be made
within the City, in addition to the ones outside the City, as well as the
responsibilities and obligations for groups to see the improvements
through.

City Council Minutes
August 19, 1997
Page 14
Harris thought we are discussing phases and steps. We are being
asked for a contribution but we can't do that before a Joint Powers
Agreement is reached. The third stage would be for the Council to
appropriate the dollars. She hasn't heard an objection to the
amount, but we need to be clear that there are steps involved. Olson
suggested the Joint Powers Agreement be delayed until they get the
federal funding.
Pauly suggested that concept approval for the project be given with
the funding conditioned upon the receipt of federal funding and the
signing of an appropriate Joint Powers Agreement. Thorfinnson said
the final commitment should not be completed until we review the
Joint Powers Agreement.
MOTION: Butcher-Younghans moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to
endorse the general concept for restoration of Murphy's Inn and Boat
Landing within the Murphy's Landing Historic site along the
Minnesota River, including future Eden Prairie trail connections to
this area, per the recommendations of the Staff Report of August 19,
1997, with a funding commitment of $25,000, contingent upon the
completion of a Joint Powers Agreement after receipt of federal
funding for the project. Motion carried 5-0 ..

XI. REPORTS OF OFFICERS
A. REPORTS OF COUNCILMEMBERS
1. Statement About the School District Referendum
Case encouraged residents to vote in favor of the School
District Bond Referendum on September 9,1997. He thought
a healthy school system helps enhance the community even
though no one wants higher taxes.
Thorfinnson was concerned that such a statement in a forum
like this means that the Council endorses the referendum, and
that it represents a possible conflict of interest. Butcher-
Young hans thought we are two different entities, and it is
important not to blur the boundaries.
II/
City Council Minutes
August 19,1997
Page 15
A discussion followed regarding the issue of conflict of interest.
Harris noted that, traditionally, neither body has taken a
position on issues of the other's jurisdiction. She thought we
need to encourage citizens to read carefully and make their
decision on the vote. She said this Council at this time does
not take a formal position for or against the referendum.
2. Discussion of Noise Regulation
Tyra-Lukens received a report from the zoning administrator
about ordinances other cities have on their books that address
the issue of noise. She also received a description of two
ordinances on our books that deal with the issue of noise
violation. She would like more information on how violations
are reported, how noise is measured, how many violators are
prosecuted, and how that has impacted the level of noise.
She would like to find out how Minneapolis and St. Cloud
handle their ordinances that allow people to call with the
license number of a vehicle with loud stereo equipment.
3. Update on Discussion regarding Camp Edenwood
Thorfinnson said there was a meeting today at which
Friendship Ventures discussed a change in direction on this
project. They are not yet at a point where they would tear
down the building. John Gertz has been able to check out
possibilities of the State preserving the building. There may
be a way to preserve the building and incorporate it into some
additional construction. The meeting today was to see if
Friendship Ventures was interested in pursuing this. They are
willing to take some time to look at this and pursue it.
Thorfinnson believes this will come back to us for review at
some point.

ll. OVERVIEW OF 1998 PROPOSED BUDGET
Jullie gave a historical perspective of the budget process illustrating a downward expansion
in the rate of increase. He noted the City of Eden Prairie has a balanced budget and the bulk
of the revenues are generated by property taxes. On a $168,000 median home the tax bill for
1998 would be $631.00, which is $12.00 over the 1997 levy. The City has endeavored to
maintain the same budget levels as last year, but this does not include the transit tax levy and
there will be an increase for some technolog, upgrades for the Police Department's new
computer system. He reviewed the ten-year buoget model which was developed in 1994 and
revisions which have been made to it. The strategies used were reduction in spending for
operations and development of a source of revenue other than property taxes. The 1997
budget included a 4% tax increase on a median value home rather than the projected 6%
increase. In 1998 the City will be complying with the levy limits set by the Legislature and
supplying performance measures based on costs of services within the City.
Enger reviewed the 1998 Proposed Budget highlights which include a 6.3% cap on levies.
The City needs to determine how we are going to live within this cap. He reviewed the
projected tax impacts on properties in Eden Prairie and discussed the General Fund revenues
J

which would be generated from the various revenue sources. We have been conservative in
estimating these numbers because they have been based on the 1997 figures. Operations
transfers include monies from the liquor store and the utility fund. Kotchevar explained that
other revenue has gone down because special assessments are decreasing and Industrial
Revenue Bonds are also decreasing.
Enger stated expenditures have increased in the 1998 Shared Services budget line item
because wages are not included in the 1997 comparison accounting. Dietz reviewed the
utility budget and the projected increase will be a five cent surcharge. There are no
projections on the summer surcharge. 1998 will be the first year we will have to haul out the
lime residues on a daily basis from the water treatment plant. We expect a substantial
increase in 1998 because of this. He explained that the City has to balance the costs of
sewage disposal incurred in 1996 and the City has two years to pay it off It has been
dispersed in the 1997 budget. Kotchevar noted that in 1998 they will start paying actual costs
which should eliminate this catch-up accounting technique.
Enger reviewed the liquor store operating budget and explained that the City is paying itself
rent for the Cub Foods Liquor Store only, which will reduce the debt level and give the City
a way to reduce the building debt retirement. Uram noted that the first four weeks of
operation in the Cub Foods Liquor Store they were ahead in sales, but this has decreased in
the last two weeks. Sales are slanted towards wine at the Cub Foods store and it appears that
store will sell more wine than the other stores. There is a higher markup on wine which
means this will be a more profitable store.
Enger commented that the City needs to concentrate on the continued growth of the tax base.
He said we have a conflict between traffic capacity versus allowing construction of more
square footage of office buildings in the commercial areas. Cost containment will be
important as development revenues slow down. The Capital Improvements Plan has been
consolidated into something that will put more emphasis on getting the maximum result from
monies spent. Levels and types of services will be broken down into one or two levels and
costs for each service level spelled out. Performance measures will show the basis for starting
points and where the City is now. He discussed use of the LOGIS system and computer
software packages which are more cost effective in the long term. Issuing equipment
certificates would spread the expenditure out over a five year period and would mitigate
having the entire costs on this year's budget. The increase over the levy limit would be
$144,000 which would pay off the expenditure over five years. We need to decide if we are
going to include this in the budget by next Tuesday. It can be done for this purpose and
would be an increase of 1% per year. Instead of the $12.00 increase per median home it
would be $17.00 per year.
Mayor Harris inquired if staff was asking for direction on this and Swaggert responded that
equipment certificates are a good way to deal with this problem as technology is changing so
rapidly it is more and more difficult to keep up. Clark stated the equipment would be used
for the Fire Department as well as Police and there could be other uses within the City for this
equipment. They have limited opticom and are looking at some other alternatives. They are
looking at another emitter which has a much lower cost. Harris inquired if the LOGIS system
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES
August 21, 1997
Page 3
would meet the City's needs, and noted she agreed that equipment certificates were the way
to accomplish this.
Harris directed staff to go with the equipment certificates because it would allow the greatest
flexibility for a future decision to be made. She stated she was most impressed by the
efficiency with which this process was moving along from year to year and this year was the
best of all.
Thorfinnson asked about one-time revenues and Dietz responded those were fees based on
5% of the construction costs which are charged for construction projects. They want to use
the tools that are available and save the one-time revenues for future capital improvements.
Thorfinnson inquired where the funds for capital improvements were in the budget. Enger
responded they were obtained from special assessment fees. Thorfinnson inquired if there
was any allocation for future capital improvements in the budget, and Jullie responded that
there is $0.5 million reserved in the Capital Maintenance Fund. Thorfinnson stated it would
be best to save on a systematic bases to be able to cover these expenses when they arise.
Enger stated that the 5% which is budgeted for tax abatements could be reduced to 3% which
would leave a cushion and as we get better information by December the Council could give
staff direction to put the 2% into the CIP fund. Tyra-Lukens stated we should do this
because we are going to have a problem in the future if we don't do something now. She
asked what we did last year and Enger responded that we will have to keep new employees
to a minimum again this year, but we will need to create 2.5 new positions. We will not add
any new services. Dietz stated they have held the line with seal coating and overlays on the
City streets, but he believes this is the wrong trend for a roadway system that is getting older.
If this continues there will be fewer miles of streets being sealcoated.
Thorfinnson asked why staff was not presenting the Council with options and Enger
responded that the new levy limits greatly reduced any spending options we might otherwise
have had. Jullie stated that the Truth in Taxation Hearings are scheduled for 12-10-97 and
12-16-07.

Change Order No.2, Parks/Public Works Maintenance Facility
Recommended Action:
Approve Change Order No.2 for the ParkslPublic Works Maintenance Facility in the amount
of $4,563. The net affect of this change order will be to increase the contract amount by
$1,244.52.
Background:
The attached Change Order Tracking Summation provides a brief description of the changes to
the project and for Change Order No.2 and are identified as Items Nos. 23 through 35 (except
27, 28 and 32). There are only two major items (over $1,000) as follows:
23. The model number for the large truck hoist was misstated in the specifications.
While there was no confusion between the vendor and city staff on the hoist to
be provided, the correct model number has longer overall dimension that
necessitated the general contractor to spend extra time and materials installing the
foundation for hoist due to the proximity of an existing footing.
24. Doorway openings between the truck storage area and work spaces are protected
by pipe bollards fllied with concrete. In three locations, conflicts with existing
underground storm drains and electric ducts necessitated additional hdM work and
design modifications to the bollards.
The additional items on Change Order No. 2 range from a $545 credit to an $868 increase as
noted in the attachment.
Items 27, 28, and 32 have been authorized for incorporation into the work on a time and
material basis with a not to exceed price as shown. The final cost, when known, will be
submitted with Change Order No.3.
Fmanciallssues:
Change Order No. 2 results in a small increase to the contract price. However, the three time
and material changes as noted above will be approximately $5,000. Additionally, we are aware
of several other modifications that will be necessary --two of which may be larger cost items
for which we have not received prices:
• The structural connectors between the existing pre-cast exterior panels and the
beam system have deteriorated and will need to be reinforced.

• Soil conditions at the north end of the building under the driveway were marginal
at the beginning of the project and the July weather may have aggravated the
situation to the point of requiring soil corrections.
Staff is in the process of exploring modifications to the contract that could offset these costs
without affecting the functional integrity of the building. Those costs which cannot be offset by
favorable change orders are planned to result in a reduction of the telephone and furniture budget
for the project.
Finally, this change order also extends the contract completion date by 16 days due to poor
weather conditions in July.
At this time, staff would anticipate two additional change orders to the contract --one around
the first of October for the items that we are aware of and perhaps one at the end of the project.

Background:
When the Planning Commission reviewed the project at its August 11th meeting, it included a PUD Concept
Amendment to the overall Best Buy PUD for an additional 18.6 acres ofland area, 100,000 sq. ft. office
building, and approximately 990 new parking spaces. This plan involved altering 4.93 acres of a 7.45 acre
wetland area. Phase 2 is for parking to meet their immediate needs and is proposed outside of any wetland
area and does not involve significant tree loss. A temporary NURP pond for this phase is proposed outside
of the wetland. Phase 3 is for the proposed building and additional parking on the east side. This phase
involves the wetland alteration.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal in two parts:
• PUD Concept Amendment (100,000 sq. ft. office building and additional parking).
• Phase 2 parking (including waiver for front yard setback to parking).
The Planning Commission was comfortable with the PUD Concept for the office use, but was concerned
about the amount of wetland alteration, and continued action on the PUD Concept so the proponent could
evaluate staff recommended alternatives to minimize the wetland impact.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Phase 2 parking rezoning to 1-2 consistent with the
existing guide plan.
If the Planning Commission recommends approval of the PUD Concept Amendment at its September 8th
meeting, the City Council will be reviewing the plan at their October 7th meeting.
The proponent will be requesting early issuance of a grading pennit for Phase 2 parking so construction can
begin prior to the winter season.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to continue the PUD Concept Amendment until the September 8, 1997
Planning Commission meeting in order for the proponent to evaluate alternatives to reduce the amount of
wetland alteration.
The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to approve the rezoning of the Phase 2 parking at the August 11, 1997
meeting subject to the recommendations of the staff report.
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Recommendation:
The Commission did not review the Phase 2 portion of the project since it does not effect trees or the
wetland. They will be reviewing the PUD Concept at their September 15th meeting.

Staff Report
Best Buy Concept Plan -1997
August 8, 1997
BACKGROUND
A PUD Concept and 1-2 zoning was approved in 1982 for the construction of the Lee Data
Corporation headquarters. In 1994, the interior of the building was expanded with additional
office space for Best Buy Company, the current owner. A waiver was granted through the PUD
to permit greater than 50% office use in the 1-2 zoning district as long as parking is provided to
City Code.
It is Best Buy's desire to create a unified campus plan to meet their five year growth needs. They
purchased the adjacent 18.6 acre parcel to the north and are requesting approval ofa PUD
Concept Amendment to add this site into the PUD for an additional 100,000 square feet of office
use and 990 new parking spaces. They are also requesting rezoning of 3.5 acres for Phase 2
parking (359 of the 990 spaces) at this time to meet their parking needs for the existing facility,
and permission to surcharge the Phase 3 parking area.
A total of 7.45 acres of the 18.6 acre site is in wetland. The concept proposal will impact 4.93
acres of the wetland. A permit application is currently under review by the U.S. Army Corp of
Engineers.
The site was the location of Hansen Auto Parts which operated during the 1960's and 70's. It is
surrounding by industrial land uses to the north, and east. Purgatory Creek is located south of the
existing site, with Highway 212 adjacent to the west.
PUD CONCEPT AMENDMENT
The existing PUD covers approximately 28 acres, and includes a 289,651 square foot building.
The concept amendment is to add 18.6 acres and 100,000 square feet of office use for a total site
area of 47.45 acres and 389,651 square feet of building.
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN
The existing Best Buy site is guided Industrial and zoned 1-2. The new 18.6 acre site is guided
Industrial. The request is for concept approval of a future office use on the site. No guide plan
change is requested at this time. When a request is made to rezone the property to the office
zoning district, a change to the guide plan from Industrial to Office will be required.
SITE PLAN AND PRELIMINARY PLAT
The site plan shows development ofa two-story 100,000 square foot building and 990 parking
Staff Report
Best Buy Concept Plan -1997
August 8, 1997
spaces on 18.6 acres for a Base Area Ratio of 6.1 % and a Floor Area Ratio of 12.3%. Combined
with the existing site and building area, the BAR is 11.3% and FAR is 18.8%. City Code permits
up to a 30% BAR and a 50% FAR. The future building will meet the setback requirements of the
office district.
Based on Best Buy's parking needs, 990 new spaces are proposed for a total of2,197 parking
spaces on site. City Code would require a total of 1,560 spaces based total building area on site
at 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building.
The 4.93 acres of wetland alteration proposed with this concept is for added surface parking and
NURP ponding. Best Buy indicates that a permit will be issued shortly by the u.s. Army Corp of
Engineers for this alteration.
It has been the City's policy to avoid wetland impacts as a first priority. If this is not possible,
priority is to minimize the impact. Since the beginning of the Wetlands Conservation Act, the
City has approved the alteration of approximately 7.34 acres of the 123 acres of wetlands
associated with those development projects. This is an average of 6% permitted alteration (see
Attachment A). Many more projects have been approved which avoided the wetlands on site.
There are options that can minimize wetland alteration for this project. These include the
following:
1. Developing all non-wooded upland areas first. This option would maximize the surface
parking areas on the upland land west of the proposed building footprint, and could include
the existing tennis court and ball field. These recreational facilities were not part of any
City requirement, but are important to Best Buy.
2. Minimizing the proposed building footprint by increasing building height or reducing total
building square footage. This option would provide additional parking area on the upland
land west of the proposed building. Reducing total building square footage would also
eliminate the total parking spaces required.
3. Constructing structured parking for a portion of the development.
These options together or individually can result in minimizing the amount of wetland
encroachment. Staff recommends that anyone, or combination of options be implemented.
Best Buy is requesting approval to rezone the Phase 2 parking area(359 spaces) from Rural to 1-2

and to obtain pennission to surcharge the Phase 3 parking area. The proponent requests a waiver
through the PUD for a front yard parking setback ranging from 49 feet to 40 feet for 13 parking
spaced along Flying Cloud Drive. City Code requires a 50 foot setback in the industrial district.
The waiver may have merit since only 13 of the 52 spaces that front the roadway are effected, the
property line is irregular, and when future office zoning takes place on the property the parking
would exceed the required 35 foot setback for that district.
The Phase 2 parking will impact approximately 400 sq. ft. of wetland where one ofthe proposed
drive lanes connects to the existing parking area to the south. Staff recommends that this most
easterly connection be eliminated or relocated out of the wetland.
The preliminary plat will combine both sites into one lot and road right of way for Flying Cloud
Drive. There is a portion of West 70th Street which traverses the property that is no longer
necessary by the City. This right of way will need to be vacated concurrent with the final plat.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
The tree inventory indicates a total of 3,014 caliper inches of significant trees on the overall
property. The concept plan shows tree loss of372 caliper inches or 12%. Tree replacement is
137 caliper inches. The concept plan indicates this replacement. An existing wooded knoll will
be preserved adjacent to the wetland. The proponent is requesting approval to grade and develop
the Phase 2 parking area and to surcharge the Phase 3 parking area. No significant trees will be
lost with Phase 2 parking.
All hard surface runoff will be directed through storm sewer to NURP ponds near the central
portion of the proposed site. An alternative NURP pond location for Phase 2 parking has been
established farther to the north outside of the wetland area as a temporary location while the U.S.
Army Corp of Engineers and Watershed District review Best Buy's permit for wetland alteration.
UTILITIES
City sewer and water can be provided to the site with connection to existing lines located in
Flying Cloud Drive.
TRAFFIC AND ACCESS
A traffic analysis shows daily and peak hour trip generation based on the existing building

(including future build out) together with various scenarios for the proposed site to the north(see
Attachment B). These scenarios included:
• Best Buys proposal for 100,000 sq. ft. of office.
• various options of industrial use based on 30% coverage of gross site acreage.
• various options of industrial use based on 30% coverage of net site acreage(less wetlands)
plus a 10% wetland credit.
The daily and peak hour trip generation resulting from these scenarios show that the Best Buy
proposal would generate less traffic (3,331 daily trips and 598 a.m.l586 p.m. peak hour trips) than
what reasonably could be generated under the current industrial guiding for the property.
Access to the property takes place from Flying Cloud Drive and West 70th Street. An additional
access is proposed on to Flying Cloud Drive.
ARCHITECTURE
The concept plan does not provide building architecture at this time. The proposal for the
100,000 sq. ft. building indicates a two-story structure. The office zoning district requires that
buildings be consist of at least 75% face brick, glass, or natural stone. This requirement will be
applied at the time of the rezoning for the property.
LANDSCAPING
Based on total building size, 1,352 caliper inches of landscaping is required. The landscaping plan
meets this requirement. As part of the Phase 2 parking plan, a detailed landscaping plan has been
prepared which shows berming and plantings to screen the parking lot from the public road.
SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS
There is an existing private trail system on located on current Best Buy site. The concept plan
shows a continuation of this system throughout the proposed site. A five foot sidewalk is also
proposed from the existing building to the trail along Flying Cloud Drive.

MEMORANDUM
To: Scott Kipp, City of Eden Prairie
From: James A. Benshoof ~4 8
RE: Trip Generation Review for Best Buy Site
PURPOSE
In accordance with your request, this is to present a trip generation review for the
proposed additional office space on the Best Buy headquarters site. Specifically, this
memorandum is to determine the peak hour and daily trip generation for the proposed
development, as compared to what could occur under the existing zoning and guiding.
DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS
97 -52
F or analysis purposes, we have addressed alternative development scenarios for two
pieces of property. One site is the existing Best Buy headquarters site, which consists of
28.51 acres. The second parcel is immediately to the north and consists of 18.94 acres, of
which 7.44 acres are wetlands. We have developed trip generation projections for the
development scenario proposed by Best Buy and for four alternative scenarios that could
occur under existing zoning and guiding. The scenario proposed by Best Buy consists of
the following two development components:
a) Building on the existing Best Buy site, which would provide a total gross floor
area of332,681 sq. ft. This represents an increase of37,900 sq. ft. over the
existing building size of294,781 sq. ft. The total square footage would be
occupied as follows:
-298,392 sq. ft. as office space
12,000 sq. ft. as storage
18,149 sq. ft. as employee support and cafeteria
-4,140 sq. ft. as a store mock-up
In order to provide sufficient parking spaces for this expanded building, the
existing parking lot would be expanded onto the parcel to the north.
15
Nfr. Scott Kipp -2-July 9, 1997
-Building on the parcel to the north, which would provide 100,000 sq. ft. gross
floor area and would be occupied completely as office space.
The other four development scenarios all assume that the development on the Best Buy
site would be the same as in the preceding scenario -gross floor area of 332,681 sq. ft.
The other four scenarios also assume that the site to the north would be developed to the
maximum extent allowed under the industrial zoning and guiding. Two scenarios, A-I and
A-2, presume that the gross floor area on this northern site would equal 30 percent of the
total site area (including the 7.44 acres of wetlands). Applying this 30 percent factor to
the total site area of 18.94 acres, the maximum allowable building floor area would be
247,479 sq. ft. Scenario A-I would allocate this potential development equally between
office space (123,740 sq. ft.) and warehouse space (123,739 sq. ft.). Scenario A-2 would
allocate the potential development in equal thirds among office space (82,493 sq. ft.),
manufacturing space (82,493 sq. ft.), and warehouse space (82,493 sq. ft.).
The next two scenarios, B-1 and B-2, presume that the gross building floor area would be
30 percent of the net site area -gross area of 18.94 acres, less the 7.44 acres of wetlands,
and plus a 10 percent wetland credit (.74 acre). Under this calculation, the net site area is
12.24 acres, and the resultant potential building floor area is 159,952 sq. ft. Scenario B-1
would allocate this potential development equally between office space (79,976 sq. ft.)
and warehouse space (79,976 sq. ft.). Scenario B-2 would allocate the potential
development in equal thirds among office space (53,317 sq. ft.), manufacturing space
(53,317 sq. ft.), and warehouse space (53,318 sq. ft.).
TRIP GENERATION PROJECTIONS
The next step was to develop trip generation projections for the five different development
scenarios. These forecasts have been prepared for the a.m. peak hour, p.m. peak hour,
and for a daily basis. Trip generation equations published by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers have been used for these forecasts. Before presenting the
results, two items should be highlighted. First, the corporate headquarters trip generation
rates have been applied to the Best Buy building, since it is used as the company
headquarters. For all other office development under the five scenarios, the general office
trip rates, which are higher than the corporate headquarters rates, have been used. The
second point to note is that we have assumed that only the office space in the Best Buy
building generates trips to and from that building. It is our understanding that the other
functions in that building serve to support the office function and, thus, do not generate
additional trips.
Applying the trip generation equations published by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers to the development statistics previously presented, the resultant trip generation
projections are as follows:
a) For the development proposed by Best Buy, which would consist of298,392 sq.
ft. of office space in the existing building plus 100,000 sq. ft. of office space on the
parcel to the north, the trip generation projections are 598 trip ends in the a.m.
peak hour, 586 trip ends in the p.m. peak hour, and 3,331 trip ends on a daily
basis.
Mr. Scott Kipp ..,
-J-July 9, 1997
b) For alternative scenario A-I, which would consist of298,392 sq. ft. of office space
in the existing Best Buy building, 123,740 sq. ft. of office space on the parcel to
the north, and 123,73 9 sq. ft. of warehouse space on the parcel to the north, the
trip generation projections are 758 trip ends during the a.m. peak hour, 752 trip
ends during the p.m. peak hour, and 4,374 trip ends on a daily basis.
c) For alternative scenario A-2, which would consist of298,392 sq. ft. of office
space in the existing Best Buy building and 82,493 sq. ft. offioor area on the
parcel to the north for each of the following three uses: office, manufacturing, and
warehouse, the trip generation projections are 730 trip ends during the a.m. peak
hour, 738 trip ends during the p. m. peak hour, and 4,094 trip ends on a daily basis.
d) For alternative scenario B-1, which would consist of298,392 sq. ft. of office space
in the existing Best Buy building and 79,976 sq. ft. offioor area on the parcel to
the north for both office and warehouse uses, the trip generation projections are
677 trip ends during the a.m. peak hour, 672 trip ends during the p.m. peak hour,
and 3,749 trip ends on a daily basis.
e) For alternative scenario B-2, which would consist of298,392 sq. ft. of office space
in the existing Best Buy building and 53,317 sq. ft. offioor area on the parcel to
the north for each of the following three uses: office, manufacturing, and
warehouse, the trip generation projections are 648 trip ends during the a.m. peak
hour, 658 trip ends during the p.m. peak hour, and 3,533 trip ends on a daily basis.
As indicated by the preceding results, the development proposed by Best Buy will
generate fewer trips during both peak hours and on a daily basis than would either of the
four alternative scenarios that could occur under existing zoning and guiding. One reason
for this result is that the gross floor area would be smaller under the Best Buy proposal. A
second reason for the lower trip generation is that corporate office development has
lower trip generation rates than does general office development.

Dave Clark, architect, explained Best Buy's need to expand and noted since 1994
there has been about a 21 percent growth of employees per year in the company.
They have already maximized the building by adding a second floor to create new
floor space. Some departments have been moved off-site but the key groups must be
together and must be on the site. There is an area on the existing site to expand but
that would remove many 30 plus inch oaks to create parking which is not a reasonable
option. They also considered replacing the existing ballfield area that the employees
use, but that also was not a reasonable option since they utilize it extensively. Best
Buy has decided to purchase the site next door for parking as opposed to getting rid
of amenities on the existing site.
He reviewed the proposed concept plan noting there is only one possible location on
the site that will support a building. There are two types of wetland on the site, Type
2 and Type 3 wetlands. Type 2 wetlands are one of the least robust wetlands with
primarily tall trees with no standing water in a small area. Type 3 wetlands hold some
water for a short period of time sometime during the year. There is no flow through
the wetlands on the site. They are not part of a creek system and not part of a
drainage system that flows through the site. This piece of property is completely
isolated from the remainder of the wetlands in the area.
The plan is to create additional parking and plan for a future 100,000 sq. ft. office
building. This will include new landscaping and will centralize the wetlands area to
the middle of the site and focus the site inwards upon that. The existing Best Buy site
is about a 45 percent landscaped open space and they want to focus the remaining
wetland area in the middle of the site and bring everything towards it.
One of the adjacent land owners was concerned about the water flow that currently
goes through his site being interrupted. This will not happen because of the collection
system they will design. There are four acres that need mitigation and they are willing
to mitigate at a ratio of 4: 1 instead of 2: 1 as required by Code. They have already
identified the property and made purchase of it contingent upon approval of the City.
The proposed site has already been reviewed by the Corp. of Engineers and several
other State agencies, and it's been reviewed and accepted.

Alexander was concerned about the parking being sloped down toward the wetlands
because of winter salt and motor oils running down in the wetland. Clark said water
that comes off the roadways and the parking area will all be collected into a NURP
pond and treated.
Foote inquired about the discussions Best Buy had with City staff prior to the
purchase of the property. Clark replied he was not involved in that but
representatives of Best Buy were. Before Best Buy bought the property, they thought
they should come and talk to staff to see what sort of obstacles there might be in
terms of developing that site. There were no promises made but no serious objections
were made either.
Clark stated that additional traffic will be generated by this proposal. There are
currently 1300 employees with upwards of a 1000 more people in the next six or
seven years. In the last few years Best Buy has developed car pooling programs to
try to decrease the amount of single occupancy vehicles. The problem is Best Buy is
competing for high tech employees in a lot of cases and it's very difficult to convince
them to not drive in their own car. As a result of discussions with staff from
Southwest Metro Transit, they need to communicate the various programs offered.
Best Buy now has a car pooling system where they encourage people to do it and they
get the number one choice of stalls near the front door of the employee entry.
Wissner asked what the usual hours of work are for the employees. Clark replied it's
between 7:30-8:30 a.m. to 4:30-5:30 p.m. Wissner commented there are only 28
registered car pools and was concerned this site is just a mass of parking.
Foote suggested a width of 8.5 feet for parking instead of9 feet like they do at the
mall. Clark said he wasn't aware the City was flexible with the size so it's an option
for them.
Ismail asked if there were any other options for Best Buy's expansion to avoid
touching the wetlands. Clark said they spent months looking at different ways to do
that. The problem is the wetlands are dead center in the middle of the property and
it's very difficult to work around it. There is only one location that will support a
building and he explained why the other areas are not a possibility.
Habicht was concerned about the off-site mitigation. Marshall Braymond,
environmental specialist, explained he has been working on the wetland delineation
and suggested the mitigation site they have selected for placing of this wetland. They
have worked with all the resource agencies trying to identify a potential site that
would be large enough to be able to accommodate the mitigation they are looking at.

The site is sensitive to mitigation and to the loss of wetland to the site. Best Buy has
proposed, without being asked, to have a 4: I replacement ratio rather than the 2: I as
required by Code.
The mitigation site identified is near Winthrop, Minnesota. It is in the same
Watershed District but is quite a distance from the site. It is attached to 300 acres of
wildlife management area. The site will require some drain tile, some excavation in
several different areas, and planting of native prairie grasses.
Ismail asked if they have any concerns about the fact that the site was an auto shop
salvage yard. Braymond said there was concern about this and they have done
exploratory drilling and a level one environmental assessment on the site to find any
potential problems on the site. They did not find any contamination on the site.
Habicht was concerned if the Planning Commission approved this that there be any
further impact to the creek on the south. Clark replied there would be no further
impact. Habicht asked if they considered going taller to a third level to reduce the
impact to the wetlands. Clark said it's a possibility.
Kipp indicated the project could be looked at in two parts, one being the concept
amendment to include the 18 acre parcel into the overall PUD. The second half
would be, if the Planning Commission is in favor of approving the Phase 2 parking lot
that's outside any wetlands to meet their parking needs. The concept plan is for
100,000 square feet of additional office and approximately 990 parking stalls. Also
included is rezoning of the Phase 2 parking from Rural to 1-2 on 3.5 acres. The
request is also to seek permission to do some surcharging of the Phase 3 parking area.
This review is for concept approval only. In order to build a 100,000 square foot
office building, they need to return to the Planning Commission with a detailed plan
and guided plan change from Industrial to Office.
The basic Code issue regarding the building can be met on the site. The critical issue
that they are looking at today is the wetland alteration. There are 7.45 acres of
wetland on the site and approximately 4.9 would be effected through this concept.
He referred the Commission to the chart reflecting previous wetland alterations.
Staff has identified some options they can explore to try to reduce that amount of
wetland impact. The location is centered and irregular in shape so it's difficult to
work any plan. It's been the City's policy to avoid wetlands, if possible, and if that's
not possible, to minimize those impacts. The proponent could look at available
upland areas to develop first, such as the baseball field and tennis court area. The
second option is to reduce the building footprint by increasing building height or
5
ti
Eden Prairie Planning Commission

reducing total building square footage reducing the overall parking needs. Another
option would be constructing structured parking for a portion of the development.
He noted that Eden Prairie Center was reduced to 8.5 feet stalls which is somewhat
of an industry standard in terms of the Southdale and Ridgedale Centers. The City
has never granted a parking waiver before and this is the fIrst time. This was more
predicated on the fact there's a number of mixed uses there and one trip can
accommodate a multitude of separate trips into one stop shopping. There was also
a proof-of-parking plan provided which meets Code for 9 foot stalls. The City has
approved other parking decks in the past few years, and just recently with United
Healthcare. The options in the Staff Report individually or together can reduce the
amount of wetland alteration. It's up to the Planning Commission to evaluate what's
deemed acceptable as far as wetland alteration.
Best Buy has also requested rezoning of Phase 2 parking. They can develop this
without any wetland alteration. There is an alternative location for a NURP pond to
stay out of any wetland area while this concept plan is evaluated. There will need to
be waivers for the parking setback because there are 13 stalls that encroach on the 50
foot setback. The waivers have merit because it effects only 13 stalls out of over 50
parking stalls. It follows an irregular lot line and the average setback is very close to
50.
The overall concept plan identifIed approximately 12 percent tree loss. The Phase 2
parking will not impact any signifIcant trees. The remainder of the concept would
impact a total of 372 caliper inches. The concept plan does show replacement for
that. They did evaluate traffic for this property based on Best Buy's proposal for
100,000 square feet of office and their existing facility, and against other various
scenarios that are within the current guiding of the property. Based on those
alternatives which are outlined in the Staff Report, it shows Best Buy's proposal
would generate the least amount of traffic on the site both in daily trips and a.m. and
p.m. peak hour than what could be expected if the site were developed Industrial.
Staff supports the PUD concept for 100,000 square feet of office but is concerned
about the amount of wetland impact. The proponent should take a look at
alternatives to try to minimize that. If the Planning Commission is comfortable
looking at this as a two phase approach, they can elect to approve rezoning of 3.5
acres of parking and the proponent can proceed with that. If they are uncomfortable
with the concept plan. staff recommended the proponent take a look at an alternative
to minimize the amount of wetland encroachment.

Eden Prairie Planning Commission
August 11, 1997
Sandstad referred to the Carpenter project on the wetland impaCt chart and asked why
there was 4.32 acres of mitigation off site. 4.32 represents a 2:1 replacement of the
wetland fill as required by the Wetlands Act.
Sandstad asked if there would be any outstanding natural features that are being
preserved on this site at the same time they are filling four acres of wetland. Clark
said on the remainder of the site they have some significant natural areas they want
to maintain and do not want to touch.
Alexander expressed concern about the wildlife loosing their natural habitat and going
to another location. Clark said there are geese and mallards on the site using the
ballfield. There is an existing retention pond plus the wetlands area, and it does hold
water. It's not a huge loss of habitat for those kinds ofthings.
The public hearing was opened.
Al Hansen, resident of Eden Prairie, commented he has lived here 30 years and some
type of wetland restoration is better than nothing. The suggestion to decrease the
parking stalls to 8.5 feet probably would not work because these are executives who
are sporting utility vehicles which are bigger vehicles and it would be tight in the
parking lot. He hates to see wetlands go but if it's not wetland like over by where
Flagship is, than the City should support some alteration.
Habicht commented he hates to see wetlands go but would like to see areas of the
creek not impacted and this plan does that. The reduction in the size of the parking
stalls is something to be explored. To balance off the wetland, they need to recognize
the fact that a campus would be pretty nice. The Commission does not see many
projects with a 12 percent tree loss. They are also willing to eliminate the second
driveway and come out of the parking lot on the west side. It's appropriate to get 30
days with respect to the second half of the proposal and split it to explore some of
those options.
Sandstad supported the rezoning but would like a continuation for the proponent to
come back with less wetland impact. It does not balance keeping a ballfield and
loosing wetlands. He would like them to look at other solutions for the wetland issue.
He wants the wetland impact improved even if it's not down to zero.
Foote concurred with Sandstad. Exploring 8.5 width parking stalls is something to
look at and the possibility of a third story on the building. There is no problem with
the parking to the west and the building area does not impact wetlands either. He
supported a 30 day continuance to see what the proponent can come up with to lessen
7
Eden Prairie Planning Commission
August 11, 1997
the wetland impact.
Wissner agreed with the other Commissioners. The ballfield will only be used five
months out of the year. If the ballfield and the tennis courts were not there as an
option, she would probably balance this differently. Best Buy is important to this
community and they want them to stay there. The City Council is very committed to
not filling in wetlands and feel strongly about this. She encouraged the proponent to
consider the different options.
Alexander supported the rezoning of the Phase 2 parking. As much as she likes not
to see wetlands go, she understood some may have to go. She would like to see it
reduced considerably to about half of the wetland. Saving a ballfield is not as
important as saving the wetlands. She liked the proposal for walking trails in lieu of
the ballfield. She supported a 30 day continuance.
Ismail agreed with all the Commissioners but they should be specific as to how much
of the wetlands the Commission would be comfortable filling in. Ismail said 2 to 2.5
acres would be more reasonable. Sandstad commented he doesn't want to do that
because he has a lot of confidence in the designer and wants to give them some
flexibility.
Clinton commented he would like the proponent to look at possibilities of reducing
the wetland impact. He agreed with Sandstad to give them flexibility. He has always
been uncomfortable with wetland mitigation off site and was not in favor of that
concept. He supported a 30 continuance.
Clark explained his problem with 30 days because of the time frame for surcharging
and construction. The surcharging has to be done before October 15 and they are
going to need that parking in the spring. Kipp said one option with the 30 day
continuance would be upon return to the Planning Commission, if they are satisfied
with the revised concept, forward it to the City Council at which time they could ask
the Council for an early grading pennit to do surcharging. Clark said it's a possibility.
MOTION 1: Sandstad moved, seconded by Foote, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 7-0.
MOTION 2: Sandstad moved, seconded by Foote, to continue to the September 8,

EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: September 2, 1997
!=
SECTION: Ordinances and Resolutions . f\ 1~ ____________ ~ ______________ ~ITEMNO.lffi~
DEPARTMENT: ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Resolution certifying proposed 1998 property tax levy,
Administration -C. Jollie accepting proposed 1998 budget, and setting date(s) for
Truth-in-Taxation hearings(s)
Requested Council Action:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution which:
1. Certifies the proposed 1998 net property tax levy to be $17,878,492;
2. Sets the "Truth-in-Taxation" public hearing for Wednesday, December 10, 1997 and, if
necessary, to reconvene the public hearing on Wednesday, December 17, 1997; and
3. Accepts the proposed 1998 budget of $24,675,990 as reviewed by the Council on August
21, 1997.
Background:
Minnesota law and administration rules prescribe a detailed process for public notification and
participation in setting taxes and budgets of local governments.
Cities must adopt a proposed net property tax levy by September 15 and certify it to the county auditor.
In 1997, the Legislature passed a new levy limit law which will be in place for the 1998 and 1999 budget
years. This law limits Eden Prairie's total levy (not including debt) to growth plus inflation. For 1998,
this increase is about 6 % . At the same time, the City Council must accept a proposed budget for the
coming year.
The City must also set a date for the "Truth-in-Taxation" hearing and a date to reconvene it (if necessary).
These dates may not conflict with the initial and reconvened hearing dates set by Hennepin County, school
districts, or the metropolitan taxing districts. As all of them get to set their dates before we do, there are
a very limited number of dates available. The dates of December 10 and December 17 are the most
workable ones for us to be within the schedule established by the Minnesota Department of Revenue. The
Council must adopt the tax levy and budget by December 20.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA Date: Sept. 2, 1997
Section: Petitions and Requests
Department: PRNR ~ Request to Remove Basketball Court from Franlo ItemNo.~
Robert A. Lambert, Director Park
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and the City
Council listen to the testimony of Allen McNee and Casey Quinn, as well as other residents that are
within the service area ofFranlo Park and consider one of the following options:
1. No change to the status of the court.
2. Change the City ordinance to allow the Director to set specific hours of use on certain
facilities within parks. For example, ifhours for use of the court were set from 8:00 a.m. to
8:00 p.m., perhaps the court would be tolerable.
3. Modify the court to a "half court" by eliminating the basket on a south end of the court
adjacent to the residents. This would ensure that activity would occur at the north end of the
court. That basket is located approximately 90 feet from the property line. If this option
provides only a limited amount of improvement, the City could take the next step and actually
remove the south half of the court hard surface and plant coniferous trees on that location in
order to screen the court and reduce additional noise. The estimated cost for this option is
approximately $2,000.
4. The final step would be to eliminate the court from the park or relocate a half court to the
center of the park, north of the parking lot between the soccer field and the softball field. The
estimated cost to remove the existing court and reseed the area would be approximately
$2,000 to $3,000. The cost to remove the court, reseed the area, and relocate a half court
would be approximately $15,000 to $20,000.
In order to relocate the court to the center of the park, north of the parking lot, it would
require removing three to four trees and cutting the berm down approximately four to five
feet. That location is a marginal location, as it would be considered in the foul ball zone for
the softball field. (Some foul balls would be able to reach the basketball court.)
CONSIDERATIONS:
City staff have reviewed this site and concur with Allen McNee and Casey Quinn that the basketball
court is extremely close to their home and likely does cause a disturbance at times to their residence.
1
,
The homes in that neighborhood have very shallow backyards and the basketball court is within 25
feet of the park property line.
Kids occasionally bring boom boxes with them to the basketball court; however, that problem has
generally been eliminated through the use of park rangers and police. The general noise that emits
from a basketball game (the pounding ofthe basketball and the nose from the players) can be quite
loud and offensive, if your home is within 50 feet ofthe court.
The park was completed prior to the development of any of the homes along the south side ofFranlo
Park. The home was constructed after the courts and Ms. Quinn and Mr. McNee admitted they
thought the court would be an amenity, rather than a problem.
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission visited the home in question and listened
to the noise of a basketball pounding on the court from within the home and the deck in the backyard.
The staff also sent a letter to Franlo Park area residents informing them of the request by a family to
remove the basketball court and invited their comments at an August 18 meeting.
The City has received one letter in support of removal of the court from the resident that lives on the
north side of Franlo Park. The City has also received six letters in opposition to removal of the
basketball court and 11 phone calls from residents in opposition to removing the court.
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission will review this matter at their August 18
meeting and the City Council will review it at the September 2 meeting.

Staff referred the Commission to a memo dated August 11, 1997 and a letter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unapproved Minutes
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Monday, August 18, 1997
dated July 17, 1997 from Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and
Natural Resources; and a group of letters from the residents of Franlo Park.
Lambert explained he had discussions with Allen McNee and Casey Quinn
about two or three years ago regarding the court noise that was causing
problems with their home. The complaints were people using the court at
odd hours or bringing boom boxes to the court. Staff addressed most of that
with aggressive policing and park ranger patrols. The problem has continued
for that family with the noise of the basketball bouncing in the court. It has
become an irritant that has grown over the years and they have requested the
City do something to eliminate that.
He reviewed the four options the Commission could recommend to the City
Council and noted that notices were sent out to the neighborhood about this
matter. This request has generated more discussion and calls and letters than
anything for a while that's effected any park. He highlighted the comments
received from different letters in opposition of removing the basketball court.
There was only one letter supporting the removal of the basketball court.
(Commissioner Wilson arrived at 7:08 p.m.)
Allen McNee, 10317 Franlo Road, noted they are the ftrst homeowner of this
home and the court is only 20 feet away from their property line. He is an
avid sports fan of basketball. They had no idea living so close to the court
would have any kind of negative impact. All ofthe bedroom windows face
the court and no other home in that area has the same problem or the same
level of discomfort as they do. They have visited every park in Eden Prairie
and no other park has a basketball court as close to a home as their home is.
He indicated the Commission members did come to his home to listen to the
noise. The problem is not going to go away and will be there with the next
homeowner. They will have to disclose this information to any future buyers
which will have an impact on the value of their home and the entire area.
He referred to the July 16 issue of the Sun Current depicting a gentleman
from St. Louis Park playing basketball. He thinks there are probably a fair
amount of people that come to use that court who don't live there, yet they
are the ones negatively impacted by it. Their objective is to ftnd a resolution
that meets the needs of them and the rest of the people in the area.
Casey Quinn, 10317 Franlo Road, commented it's a serious problem and no

one in her neighborhood can understand what the problem is unless they
were to live in her house. The problem is different for even one house away
but the problem is magnified for them.
Amanda Jackson, 10567 Lee Drive, was opposed to moving the basketball
court using $15,000 of taxpayers' money. If there are people abusing the
court, the police should be called. There is a curfew that should be enforced.
The park and playing fields were there when this family purchased their
home. This is only a seasonal problem. If this family wants it moved, they
should pay for it and not the taxpayers.
Steve Rath, 10335 Franlo Road, commented he has three sons and noted his
house is the closest to the playground to the right of the basketball court. He
said the court is used infrequently and is used on an average of less than an
hour a day from his observations. He moved into this neighborhood about
a year ago and one of the reasons they moved there was because of the
facility. He and his wife discussed at length whether they wanted to be next
to a park or not because there were positive and negative impacts. His house
has at least as much noise as the McNee's home because there are kids in the
playground from sunup to sundown. It's a hangout for teenagers at night and
the police records would probably show as much, if not more, calls for the
playground area. This is something they realized before moving in.
He was concerned about setting a precedent because in the future people
could ask for the playground to be removed because of all the noise. He
supported limiting the hours of use so it's not early morning or late in the
evening. Relocating it would be very hard to accept. He was also opposed
to putting a basketball court right next to the playground because this would
be a compounded noise for them. He supported enforcing the provisions to
keep the hours of play within the hours. He noted there has been one
indi vidual that has irritated this situation in terms of the boom box and
playing late at night, which has turned this into a huge problem.
Tamara Rath, 10355 Franlo Road, supported what her husband said. It took
them five years to look for a house and one of the reasons they moved there
was for the facility. She was also concerned about setting a precedent.
Steve Hertz, 10300 Anchorage Ridge, noted they have lived there five years
and the facilities at Franlo Park are second to none. The main concern here
are the kids and when you put something out there that keeps the kids

playing basketball or softball, the City has done their job. The park was
there ftrst and a lot of people moved there because of the park. He frequents
the park often with his daughter and her friends and he has never seen beer
cans or drug paraphernalia. The kids are going there to play basketball. If
they are going there to use the park, they better be able to use the park
because that's what the tax dollars are going for.
He suggested the City fix the north basket because it's clanging and then
people would use it instead of using the south basket all the time. He noted
his father-in-law lives in the townhomes directly across from the park and he
said to tell the City to fix the backboard on the other end. He said he has
monitored the park and has not seen anyone there early in the morning before
9:30 or 10:00 a.m. He would rather have the kids there than someplace else.
Rick Anderson, 1742 Grant Drive, noted he has lived there 13 years and
moved in when it was a cornfield. He and his family use the park a lot at
least twice a day. He and his wife kept a record for the last two weeks and
have not seen anyone playing basketball. Four of his neighbors across the
street have basketball hoops and two neighbors on either side of him have
hoops which are only 30 feet from his house. He has not noticed any
thumping of basketballs and it has not been a problem for them. He
supported all the comments said previously by his neighbors. They should
be encouraging the kids to be in the park and using the facilities, not
restricting them. If there is $15,000 to invest in that park, the City should
put in drinking water and bathrooms, not take away from anything there.
A resident residing at 10325 Franlo Road, commented she is aware of the
problem and does hear the noise when the windows are open. They have
planted quite a few trees which seem to be absorbing quite a bit of the sound.
They do hear the noise but it's not a problem for them. She supported all the
comments made by the residents. She has two children and they all use the
park. She suggested the planting of trees to try to offset some of the noise.
She supporting limiting the hours of use. Her husband works during the
night and sleeps during the day with the windows open. The window does
face the court but the noise is not enough to bother them.
John Bowers, 10305 Arrowwood Drive, was concerned that the court not be
removed from the park. He has two children that use the park frequently.
One of the main reasons he moved there was to be near the park.

Susan Murakami, 10341 Franlo Road, noted they are the fIrst homeowners
to build on the south side of Franlo Park. Her children's bedroom is on the
west side of the house near the playground and there is quite a bit of noise.
She supported reducing the hours but not removing the basketball court.
Molly Dunning, 10112 Bluff Road, was very disturbed the City would
consider one family'S complaint and invest spending $15,000 on a project
when 30 families have voiced major concern on the speed of traffIc on Bluff
Road. According to the City, nothing can be done about that. This is a
seasonal sport and this family will not be bothered 12 months out of the year.
One individual is causing this family a great disturbance and the rest of the
neighborhood should not have to suffer for the bad situation created there.
She supported reducing the hours of play and the planting of trees.
Brown commented removing the basketball court is just one option. It's the
City's obligation to say it's $15,000 in tax money. It's just information and
is just one consideration. Dunning said the stop sign is not even up for
consideration but this the City can consider.
Marilyn Bose, 10347 Franlo Road, noted they back up to a baseball fIeld and
moved there four years ago. They considered the McNee's house but decided
not to buy it because they did not want to back up to a basketball court.
They have to deal with a lot of noise from the baseball fIeld and knew that
from the beginning, but they deal with it. They made a decision to back up
to a baseball field and they live with it. She supported limiting the hours and
the plantings of trees. She would like a solution to this problem because she
does empathize with the McNees.
Jack Bowers, 10305 Arrowwood Drive, noted he was a student who used this
park and it's not fair when he and his sister and friends use it and obey the
curfew. Action should be taken against the person causing the problems.
Hilgeman asked if it would be a problem if the hours were limited to 8:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Bowers said it would not be a problem.
Corneille asked if it would be acceptable if the hours were changed from
8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Quinn said they are willing to work with this. She
realized they are the only house that has the problem of the thumping of the
basketball. It's more continuous than hitting a baseball. The playing of
children is music but the thumping of a basketball is not. Limiting hours is
a problem for her because she personally is the lady of enforcement as it is
5

Unapproved Minutes
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Monday, August 18, 1997
and she has to enforce the hours. Regarding the resident whose neighbor has
a basket, it's only one family using it. On a public court there are many
families. During the last couple of weeks it has been quiet. It starts in April
and it usually falls off by mid summer. The noise really is insufferable.
McNee commented they have already invested in a privacy fence that failed
to soften the noise of the thumping. They would be interested in discussing
financing the removal of the court. He would wants a compromise to this
problem.
Quinn said they had no idea that the thumping would be a problem and that's
why they bought their house. They weren't concerned about the regular
noise of a playground. Again, they were the first owners and there were not
that many children around when they bought their home.
Corneille asked if they consulted with anybody on what kind of fence to put
in. Quinn said they just bought a fence. They did have it approved by the
development. It's a solid privacy fence.
Koenig inquired about installing something in the windows to keep the noise
out. Quinn said you can't dampen the noise with the windows open. She did
not want to have to close her windows on nice days.
Brown stated he spoke to a builder who recommended triple glass windows
or all weather glass windows. The drapery people said they do have some
lined drapes which might soften the noise.
Hilgeman would not support either a half court or moving the court for the
simple reason that the park needs the basketball facility in order to make it
the park it was meant to be. She does not believe in reducing what they
already have in any park. Any type of discussion from the Commission to
the City Council would involve a plan to fix the backboard and limiting the
hours according to staffs recommendation. She supported some natural
screening because it would increase the aesthetic value of that park as well
as provide some type of sound reduction to those people. She also noted the
Parks Commission has nothing to do with stop signs.
Lambert said they will investigate the need for repair on the one backboard.
If it's just a backboard it would cost about $300 to $400. The Highway
Department used to use lots of vegetation to reduce noise and found that
6

Unapproved Minutes
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Monday, August 18, 1997
vegetation does have some impact on the high pitched noise but lower
pitched, like the thumping of a basketball, it has very little impact at all. He
does not want to lead this family to believe that a couple of trees will have
an impact on the noise.
Brown inquired about other complaints concerning this one person. Lambert
said one. One person was causing some problems and he went to his home
and spoke to him personally and to his mother as well. Quinn commented
she called the police twice last weekend on that same person.
Stolar asked if there have been requests anywhere else for hour limitations
because the recommendation is to change the ordinance overall to give the
Director that authority to set hours. If there are other complaints or other
needs besides this instance, he would like to take that into consideration.
Lambert said he has not received any other requests. This will give the
Director the ability to handle situations like this without all of this in the
future. He is not a proponent of giving staff a lot of latitude in limiting the
use of park facilities but there also should be some provision in the ordinance
to address the needs of particular facilities that may cause problems. City
staff do not recommend making ordinances for specific situations.
Stolar was in favor of giving the Commission the responsibility for that type
of limitation based on the Director's recommendation.
Koenig said if the Commission recommended a change in hours, she would
encourage enforcement ofthe park rangers so the McNees don't have to be
the cop in the neighborhood.
Rick Anderson suggested a study be done to get a real number of times the
court is utilized. He also suggested the hours be from sunup to sundown like
Hennepin Parks do and put a gate down there for when the park is closed.
MOTION: Wilson moved, seconded by Hilgeman, to recommend that staff
fix the backboard and that hours on the court be limited to 8:00 a.m. to 8:00
p.m. and ask the City to give the Director some authority on changing the
hours. The ordinance would allow the Director to make recommendations
to the Parks Commission to change hours on recreation facilities. Motion
carried 7-0.

Background:
The Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) evaluated and found historically significant the Cummins-
Phipps-Grill Homestead, Lookout Park Wayside, Purgatory Creek Bridge (Creek Knoll Road), Riley-Jacques
Farm, Fredrick-Miller Spring, and Smith-Douglas-More House. A Finding of Significance statement was
prepared for each of the above properties and forwarded to the City Council.
The Heritage Preservation Commission held a public hearing for each site to receive comments and discuss
preservation plans. The HPC also notified the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to request
comments on the six sites. The SHPO comments, concur with the HPC's and support local designation of
all six sites.
The Planning Commission reviewed the Heritage Site Nominations and support the HPC's recommendation
for Heritage Site designation of all six sites.

Chapter of the Minnesota Land Trust is unable to donate
due to lack of funds. The Rotary Club declined to
donate. The letter sent to the Optimist Club has been
misplaced so Mason has faxed a new copy to the President
and will wait for a reply.
Other suggestions for contact include Mervyn's, Lions
Tap, SuperValu, Best Buy, and the Old Country Buffet. It
was also suggested it may be possible to procure a grant
through the Minnesota Historical Society.
B. Miller Water Tower
Mason spoke to Bergin's Auto Body regarding restoring the
·Miller Water Tower. Although they were unable to give an
exact estimate until they actually saw the tower,
Bergin's predicted between $2,000 to $4,000. Gertz

V. REPORTS OF COMMISSION AND STAFF
A. Introduction of new Commissioner, Tim Colliton
Hession welcomed Tim Colliton to the Commission.
B. Prairie Bly -Internship
Hession reported Prairie Bly, an Eden Prairie Resident
and student at the University of San Diego, interned with
the HPC during the month of January. She researched the
City's Native American burial grounds and compiled a list
of all the mounds in Eden Prairie. She also wrote a
summary of Basic Woodland Period Facts.
On February 4, 1997, Hession and Gertz will make a report
to the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota Board regarding
internships in Eden Prairie and other HPC programs.
,Skonieczny feels the internships have provided an
important link to the academic world'and would like to
see at least one in progress at all times. Hession
suggests Gertz and the Commission keep a list of
potential intern projects as they arise.
C. Roseann Klaphake -Internship
Patterson stated Klaphake, a student at st. Cloud State,

Historic Site Designation -John Gertz
John Gertz presented his memo on Heritage Preservation Site Designation indicating
he would answer questions.
Foote commented he drove in the Wayside rest area on Highway 169 and asked if
there was any intent to improve that in any way or will it be left as is. Gertz replied
there isn't any intent in the designation of that site. It's hoped that it would be
improved at some point down the road.
Ismail asked where the funds come from for maintaining the Cummins-Grill home and
what the cost it. Gertz indicated upkeep comes from the City funds. They have had
some grants in the past from the Minnesota Historic Society to work on restoration
of the home. They had a lot of volunteered help. He didn't have the exact figures of
what the annual maintenance budget was for that house. Ismail commented he was
not comfortable spending money on the upkeep of a house because of it's historical
value. Wissner asked if they accept donations for the upkeep in a separate fund or
do fund raising. Gertz indicated the Parks and Recreation Department has some
guidelines for donating and gifting. In the SL,,{ years he has been involved in the
Cummins-Grill house not much money has come in as far as donations. They have
had items donated like a vacuum cleaner. There is a lot of donated time from people.

Sandstad stated he loves the notion of finding significant historical features some of
which are buildings or structures they can preserve. Each of the items listed are
appropriate and he encouraged the work of the Heritage Preservation Commission.
Foote commented he visited the Cunnnins-Grill home and it was more improved than
the last time. He was very impressed with it. It's a real treasure and should be
preserved.
Habicht asked if the wall is going to be rebuilt at Lookout Park. Gertz replied
designation does not mean guaranteed restoration. It simply protects it from any kind
of impact. It would certainly be cleaned up. The US Fish and Wildlife Services have
already contributed to some funding toward that effort. There are other funding
sources they will try to acquire.
Foote was concerned about inspections of the Purgatory Creek Bridge. Gertz noted
there's been an annual inspection of the bridge. It's his understanding the bridge is in
good condition. the deck is in good condition, and the sub-structure is in good
condition.
Habicht referred to the Cummins-Grill home and commented he was uncomfortable
granting a designation without knowing the costs of the upkeep.
Sandstad commented there are at least three old farm homestead properties that are
significant. He believes whatever the cost is for the maintenance of the Cwnmins-
Grill site is not unreasonable at this point and he supports it.
Habicht was concerned that these issues are going to come up again. The next thing
that comes up may be very significant but at some point cost does become a factor.
He agrees these sites being significant in and of themself. At some point they're going
to run into a situation where cost is going to be a big factor.
Clinton agreed with the recommendatio~ and supports preserving historical sites in
Eden Prairie. He's not necessarily comfortable with not having an answer to how
much tax dollars are actually spent He would like to know what other sites are
doing.
Franzen explamed that the Planning Conunission isn't voting yes or no on designating
the sites, because he believed that this was the responsibility of the Heritage
Preservation Commission. The Planning Commission should look at the land use
impacts·on surrounding property and on the Comprehensive Plan. Franzen noted that
the Chair Ken Clinton was correct in that the code does state that the Planning

Commission can approve or deny sites. He added that he though~ that the intent of the
code was for the Commission to evaluate land use impacts and would ask the City
Attorney for an opinion on the the Planning Commissions role.
Ismail indicated he could not support the designation without knowing the costs. He
referred to the accident on Highway 169 where an individual was killed. He noted
that the City does not have the funds to put in whatever is needed to make it safe at
that intersection yet they have funds from tax dollars for the upkeep of an historical
house.
Gertz said that supporting the designation of a site does not obligate the City to spend
money.
Discussion ensued regarding whether there should be a separate motion on the land
use and one on the economics of it. Franzen reviewed the defInition under Code of
a designated site.
Sandstad encouraged discussions with HPC on a future safe access, such as a parking
area, over the overlook near BFI. Gertz thought this was in process.
Ismail said he would like to know how much money will the City pay to upkeep this
historical site, specifIcally a non-:fu.D.ctional one.
M OTI 0 N: Sandstad moved, seconded by Foote, to support the Heritage
Preservation Designation of the sites that are before them on the agenda and
encourage that the Highway 169 overlook site be discussed with adjacent property
owner BFI for some pOSSIble future safety access off of Highway 169 such as a small
parking area that is missing right now. Motion c;lrried 5-1 with the no vote by
Ismail.

A. Historic Site Designations -John Gertz
Gertz referred to the memo of July 23, 1997, requesting the Planning
Commission to review each property report and comment on any land use
issue in relation to the City Guide Plan, adjacent land uses, or other planning
considerations.
Sandstad commented he was familiar with the Frederick's Spring and the
Mathew Riley Farm, but not the Sheldon Smith House. Gertz gave the
historical background surrounding the Sheldon Smith House. Sandstad asked
ifthere are any· immediate plans to improve the property. Gertz said there are
no immediate plans in terms of restoration or rehabilitation. They are simply
maintaining the house and the City will provide maintenance for the exterior
of the house.
Ismail asked what the significance is regarding the Frederick's Spring. Gertz
explained the spring is important because it's the context of the site. It's the
11
q
Eden Prairie Planning Commission
July 28, 1997
unique feature of the site. The thing that's important is the sense of place and
the association of the spring, the road, and the wooded valley. All of these
things combined create an historical significance for that property. Ismail
asked if the City is planning to make it presentable because he saw a lot of
junk around there. Gertz said Bob Lambert has presented an improvement
plan for this site right now.
Wissner asked if they have any idea how many people visit the 'site. Ismail
commented he visited the site for 20 minutes and counted five cars. Gertz
noted there are many regular users of the spring.
Wissner inquired about funding for cleaning up the Sheldon Smith House.
Gertz said they dqn't have any funding set aside for what they call restoration.
What they simply do is just have the City's maintenance provide basic
maintenance for the property. He noted the front porch needs some serious
work.
Foote commented reading about these sites was very interesting and he
learned a lot. Referring to the Mathew Riley Farm. he said the house is
currently occupied by a renter and asked if that is going to continue. Gertz
said it will continue until a time that they put that property into public use. It's
better to keep a renter in there than to let the house sit by itself
Clinton commented he comes from Charleston, South Carolina, one of the
most historical sites in the country, and he would like to preserve as much as
possible in Eden Prairie.
MOTION 1: Sandstad moved, seconded by Foote, to recommend to the City
Council that all three Historic sites are consistent with the Comprehensive
Guide Plan and well worthy of official designation. Motion carried 7-0.
B. Variance Request #97-10 (Outside Display in Office District)
Johnson explained the 97-10 Variance Staff Report has been included in the
Planner's Report as an informational issue to inform the Commission of an
unusual variance before the Board of Adjustments and Appeals. It is going
before the Board in August and the Commission's comments will be sent to
the Board.
Sandstad was concerned about setting a precedent and doing this on similar
properties. He was not comfortable with the variance.

J.R. Cummins House, 13600 Pioneer Trail, MHS Referral File Number 97-0553
Purgatory Creek Bridge, Creek Knoll crossing Purgatory Creek, MHS Referral File
Number 97-0554
Lookout Park, Highway 169, MHS Referral File Number 97-0555
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the above referenced designations. They
have been reviewed pursuant to Minnesota Statutes s471.193, subd. 6., and Sec.
11.05., subd. 3. (B) of Eden Prairie Ordinance 38-90.
The J.R. Cummins House is historically significant at the local level for its association
with early agricultural development in Eden Prairie, and for the experimental orchards
and nurseries created by both John Cummins and Edwin Phipps. Listed in the National
Register of Historic Places on 13 October 1982, the Cummins House is an appropriate
candidate for local designation under criteria 1 and 4.
The Purgatory Creek Bridge was constructed in 1920 and remodeled in 1931. Built of
reinforced concrete, the bridge is in good condition and continues to carry local traffic
across Purgatory Creek. Purgatory Creek Bridge is locally significant as the last county
bridge in continuous use and the oldest bridge in Eden Prairie. In addition, the bridge
retains its original design elements and the roadway remains remarkably similar to its
. appearance from more than sixty years ago. The Purgatory Creek Bridge appears to
meet local designation criteria 1 and 5.
Constructed in 1938, the Minnesota Valley Wayside (Lookout Park) derives its local
significance through an association with the Federal Work Relief Highway Program of
the mid-1930s, which was responsible for the construction of the wayside, and as one
of a network of waysides built for the increasing number of tourists traveling by
automobile during the fIrst third of the century. The wayside gains additional

represent the efforts of the Works Progress Administration. The Minnesota Valley
Wayside is eligible for local designation under criteria 1, 5 and 8.

RE: Local designation of:
27 February 1997
Fredrick's Spring, off Spring Road, MRS Referral No.: 97-1227
Mathew Riley Farm. Riley Lake Road, MRS Referral No.: 97-1228
Sheldon Smith House, 8107 Eden Prairie Road, MHS Referral No.: 97-1242
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the above referenced designations. They have
been reviewed pursuant to Minnesota Statutes s471.193, subd. 6., and Sec. 11.05., subd. 3.
(B) of Eden Prairie Ordinance 38-90.
Fredrick's Spring is a natural groundwater feature situated within the Riley Creek tributary
valley. The spring was capped by William Fredrick in 1890, although it is likely that other
early residents, explorers, and traders were familiar with the spring and its associated features.
Fredrick's Spring is an important geographic feature within the City of Eden Prairie and gains
historical significance as a site which has been used for over 150 years and became widely
known among a variety of travelers and permanent settlers. Fredrick's Spring appears to meet
local designation critera 1 and 8.
The Mathew Riley Farm stands on a 23-acre parcel of land with seven buildings dating from
1881 to 1953. The Riley Farm complex contains a complement of major agricultural
outbuildings and as such represents a good example of an early 20m century dairy farm. The
farmstead has additional significance for its association with John Geiser, who built'the 1881
brick house and was a prolific local contractorfbuilder. The Mathew Riley Farm is an
appropriate candidate for local designation under criteria 1 and 4.
Constructed in 1877, the Sheldon Smith House is historically significant at the local level for
its association with the development of Eden Prairie Center. Built of red brick in a gabled ell
plan, the house is a well preserved and significant example of a vernacular form influenced by .
architecrural designs popular in the late nineteenth century. The Sheldon Smith House is

Proposed Rate Increases t~
REQUEST:
Staff requests the City Council authorize proceeding with advertising for bids for improvements to
the heating and ventilation system and the pool filtration system at the Community Center swinnnlng
pool. The estimated cost for the heating and ventilation system improvements is $290,000 and the
estimated cost for the pool filtration upgrade is $70,000. City staff recommends funding these
projects from cash park fees and attempting to recoup a portion of the cost by increasing rental fees
for the pool.
BACKGROUND:
On March 18, the City Council authorized staff to obtain a proposal from Water Technology, Inc.
and Erickson, Ellison and Associates to prepare plans and specifications for improvements to the
Community Center HV AC system and the mechanical system as outlined in the report dated March
10, 1997.
On May 6, 1997, the City Council authorized Erickson, Ellison and Associates and Water Technology
to proceed with preparing plans and specifications for improvements based on their March 10 report.
In July both companies completed plans and specifications for this combined project.
Recommend Pool Closing Dates
The pool will have to be shut down for approximately four to five weeks to complete the heating and
ventilation system repairs. The pool was going to have to be shut down for several weeks to drain
the pool and complete some caulking repairs in 1998. After discussions with high school staff and
representatives from the Foxjet Swim Club, staff is recommending this project be coordinated with
that proposed shutdown period. Due to the swim team schedules and the prime swim lesson period,
staffis recommending the shutdown time period fur these projects be from April 17 to May 31, 1998.
In order to ensure that all equipment is ordered and on hand prior to starting the job, staff is
recommending the City advertise for this job in November of 1997 and award the bids in December
or January, as there can be as much as 90 days lead time to order some of the heating and ventilation
equipment.

PROPOSED RATE INCREASES:
City staff are recommending the Council increase rental fees beginning January 1, 1998 at the
Community Center swimming pool. Fees for pool rental have not been increased since 1989, while
fees for ice rental are increased on an annual basis. Staff is recommending establishing a prime time
rate of$50/hour, a non prime time rate of$40/hour, and a discounted rate of$35/hour .. The prime
time periods would be from 6:00 a.m until 6:00 p.m, Monday through Saturday and from Noon until
6:00 p.m. on Sundays. The non prime time rates will be from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.rn. and the
discounted rate will be from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. This compares to the existing rate of$35/hour for
use of the entire pool. City staff estimates this rate increase will generate an additional $13,OOO/year
in pool rental income from the School District and an additional $12,800/year income from the
Foxjets and an additional $5,700/year from other renters.
The estimated increases in revenue are based on the following anticipated uses:
EPHS
Based on 36 weeks
16.5 hours/week prime time ($825)
$825 x 36 weeks = $29,700/year
Total for 1996: $16,607.49/year
Estimated increase in revenue: $13,092.511year
Foxjet Swim Club
Based on 44 weeks of rental
5 hours/week prime time ($250)
13.5 hours/week non-prime ($540)
$790 x 44 weeks = $34,760/year
Total revenue for 1996: $21,872.80
Estimated increase in revenue: $12,887.20/year (does not include Oak Point rentals)
DAT
Based on 44 week of rental
1.5 hours/week prime time ($75)
2.0 hours/week non-prime time ($80)
$155 x 44 weeks = $6,820/year
Total for 1996: $1,112.20 (less use than 1997)
Estimated increase in revenue: $5,707.80/year (does not include Oak Point rentals)
Estimated yearly increase in pool rental revenue: $31,687.51
2
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDED RATE INCREASES:
The rationale for initiating prime, non prime and discounted rate periods includes the following:
1. The prime time period includes the hours when the City could realize the most profit from its
swim lesson program if the pool were not rented.
2. The prime time hours have the most impact on the School District, rather than private clubs.
The School District has agreed that increasing the rental rate is the best way for them to assist
the City in paying for the actual operation and repair costs ofthe facility.
3. The non prime rate is a $5/hour increase for the majority of the time rented by private clubs.
It is the first increase in pool rental in nine years.
4. The discounted rate encourages pool rental use after 9:00 p.m., a time that the pool is usually
not used.
5. The actual cost to operate the pool is approximately 80% of the cost to operate the ice rinks.
Eighty percent of$130 (the recommened ice rental rate for 1998) is $104/hour. On the other
hand, the City'S rate of $35/hour is already one of the highest pool rental rates in the State.
Fifty dollars per hour may be prohibitive for private clubs to compete with fees from other
private clubs.
Oak Point Pool Rates
Staff will recommend pool rates at Oak Point to be based on the square footage cost of pool rates
at the Community Center. The City does allow groups to rent portions of the pool as needed. For
example, one lane at 25 meters during prime time would be $5.60/hour, and $4.48/hour at non prime
time or $3.92/hour at the discounted rate. A 25 yard lane would be $5.l2/hour during prime time,
$4.10/hour at non prime time and $3.59/hour at the discounted rate. Most school pools are six or
eight lanes at 25 yards. This would be a fee of $40. 96/hour for eight lanes at 25 yards or $30.72/hour
for six lanes at 25 yards for prime time and $32.80 for eight lanes from 6:00-9:00 p.m., the majority
ofthe private clubs use time at the Community Center. Oak Point pool has six lanes at 25 yards;
therefore, the recommended pool rental rate for 1998 would be $30.72/hour for prime time,
$24.60/hour for non prime time and $2l.54/hour for the discounted rate.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Staff is recommending the use of cash park fees as a funding source for this project. Although, staff
does not recommend the use of cash park fees for building improvement projects such as heating and
ventilation system upgrades, or replacing hockey boards, it is the only source of funding available
other then the general fund, which has serious limitations due to recently adopted legislation. Staff
recommends the Council consider developing a capital improvement fund for building repairs, as the
3
City will be facing similar types of relatively expensive repairs on other City buildings as they age.
City staff have attached a copy of the revised Capital Improvement Program that includes the
Community Center repairs being funded in 1997. In order to accomplish this expenditure two of the
park shelters were moved further out in the Capital Improvement Program.

SUBJECT: Updated Ten Year Capital Improvement Program 1996-2005
BACKGROUND:
City staff is presently in the process of evaluating five and ten-year projections for the City budget.
In order to assist this process, staff have provided a Ten-Year Capital Improvement Program for
acquisition and development of the park system that projects an acquisition and development schedule
that would anticipate some use of general funds. These items may be funded within the next ten years
depending on park dedication fees (staff have projected $500,000 a year), the City's ability to obtain
grants for some of the proposed acquisition and development projects, and the ability to pass a
referendum proposed in 2001. These figures are merely estimates of costs. They are not based on
plans or specifications. The fmal costs could vary significantly based on the program approved by
the City Council.
ACQUISITIONS:
Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area -$1,719,000
The City purchased the Klein/Peterson property, a total of 68.76 acres, at $ 18,000/acre for a price
of$I,237,620.60. This property was purchased on a contract for deed with $500,000 down in 1995
and the balance paid over a five-year period with the final payment being made in February of the year
2000. The City has applied for a $150,000 grant to acquire option parcel number one, a 15.68 acre
parcel that the KleinlPeterson property owners have agreed to sell at $18,SOO/acre in 1996, for a total
of$290,080. City staff recommends acquisition of this site over a two-year period of 1997 and 1998
using cash park fees and the State grant. The plan does anticipate acquiring the 30.28 acre parcel
under Option #2 for $22,000/acre in the year 2000 for a total of $666,358. The year 2000 is the last
year of the option on that property. The plan anticipates obtaining a $200,000 grant in the year 2000
and acquiring the parcel over a two year period.
Cedar Forest Park -(land in lieu of park fees)
The City anticipates acquiring 10 to 15 acres for a neighborhood park to serve the Cedar
ForestIHilltop neighborhood. The City has evaluated several sites south and east of the Hilltop and
Cedar Forest neighborhoods. Staff have also had discussions with representatives ofLynn Charlson
regarding the possibility of acquiring land east of Eden Prairie Road for a neighborhood park to serve
that section of the community. Due to the large land holdings of Mr. Charlson, the City may consider
acquiring land in lieu of park fees for approximately 100 acres of development in that neighborhood.
Staff anticipates development decisions on this area by 1998.
q
Smetana Lake Park -Oand in lieu of cash park fees)
The City of Eden Prame and the Nine-Mile Creek Watershed District have entered into an agreement
titled the Smetana Lake Improvement Project, which would stabilize the water level of Smetana Lake
through the development of an outlet control structure. The project would also anticipate
constructing a trail around Smetana Lake and, at one time, anticipated acquisition of land owned by
Frank Smetana, Sr. on the north shore of Smetana Lake. Developer's have discussed a possible
request to change the Guide Plan from office and industrial to a multitfamily designation on the north
shore of Smetana Lake. If a multi family development is approved.' staff would recommend acquiring
a sufficient amount of land to provide a park to serve this area, as there is no park or any other
recreation facilities to serve a proposed multi family development within the area bounded by 494 and
Highway 212. Staff recommends delaying any decisions on acquisition ofland for park purposes in
this area until a final decision is made on land use north of Smetana Lake. Land dedication in lieu of
park fees may be the most feasible alternative for providing a park in this location. Staff anticipates
development of this area by 1997.
Riley Creek Linear Park -5100,000
Staff have projected a $100,000 expenditure in 1999 for land along Riley Creek. Staff believe it is
prudent to anticipate some expenditure for land along the creek, as there are several parcels that will
have to be acquired by the City to complete a trail from County Road 1 to the Riley Creek Woods.
The majority of that property should be acquired through dedication when adjacent land is developed:
however, there are a couple of small parcels that are o\VTled by single family homes that will have to
be acquired to develop a trail along the creek. Staff anticipates that when the Peterson property is
developed there will be a demand for a trail along Riley Creek both to the north to connect to Riley
Lake Park and to the east to connect to Riley Creek Woods.
PARK DEVELOPMENT:
Community Center -52,965,000
Ninety thousand dollars is budgeted to replace the dasher board system in rink one at the Community
Center in 1996. The park fund should be reimbursed from the general fund over the next five years
for this maintenance expenditure, as well as the dehumidifcation expenditures of $69,000 in 1995.
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommended the City find some funding
method to improve the locker rooms. The Council authorized an architect's study and proposal to
expand the locker rooms and approved the locker room expansion and front entry expansion plan,
but did not authorize funding at this time. Staff indicated that there will be demand for expansion of
locker facilities, improvements to the entry, and construction of a gymnasium at the Community
Center in the near future. Hopefully, the City planning team will work with the bond counsel and
devise a future projection on when it will be feasible to have another park bond issue without raising
the levy rate, or the City may consider selling a portion of the entry at the Purgatory Creek
Recreation Area and use those funds for this addition. The estimated cost for expansion of the entry
and of the locker r00TI1S is $900,000. Construction of two gymnasiums would add an additional 1.5
million dollars.
/0
The heating and ventilation system for the swimming pool was under designed with the original
building. As competitive swim teams grow larger, the inability of the heating and ventilating system
to provide a sufficient amount of fresh air has become more evident. City staff is recomemnding a
replacement and upgrading oftheheaiing and ventilation system for the swimming pool in 1997 at
a cost of $375,000, and installation of an ozone system in 1998 at an estimated cost of $100,000.
Round Lake Park -$350,000
Fifty thousand dollars is budgeted for lighting the baseball field In 1998. The City has only six
regulation size baseball fields and one of those (the field at CMS) will be lost in the near future. The
City does not have any additional fields projected; therefore, the only method to meet the demand for
regulation size baseball fields will be to light some of the facilities already owned. The City will not
be able to light the field at Flying Cloud ballfields and it would be very difficult to light the field at
Franlo due to the proximity of residential homes to that field. The ballfield at Miller Park is already
lighted; therefore, the next most likely field to be lighted is the City owned field at Round Lake Park.
This field is located in the center of the park relatively far away from adjacent homes but would still
face opposition from neighbors.
Fifty thousand dollars is budgeted in 1997 for replacement of the playground structure in Round Lake
Park with an accessible facility. Due to the proximity of the sand beach and the high volume of use,
this facility is relatively worn out and will have to either be replaced or removed within the next two
years. An additional $50,000 was designated in ADA funding for making this facility accessible. This
project will be completed in early 1997.
The trail around Round Lake should be widened to 12 feet to accommodate two-way bicycle, roller
blade and pedestrian traffic. The project is proposed for 2002 at a cost estimate of $200,000.
Staring Lake Park -$625,000
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is budgeted in 1997 for renovation of the playground
facilities. This estimate would include bringing the structure up to today's safety guidelines,
accommodating ADA access to portions of the facilities, replacing the rock walls with conventional
concrete retaining walls, and installing a drainage system to eliminate erosion problems.
Twenty-five thousand is budgeted in 1996 to move the archery range to the Flying Cloud Riding
Arena site and to replace it with an eight-court horseshoe court. (The horseshoe league will move
to this facility in 1997.)
The trail around the lake will have to be widened to accommodate bicycle, roller blade and pedestrian
traffic. A cost estimate of $450,000 is projected for 2003.
Riley Lake Park -$275,000
In 1992 the City passed a referendum that included $500,000 for improvements to Riley Lake
Community Park. Development ofthis park was delayed until 1994 to coordinate road construction
with the Bear Path Development. Park construction began in June of 1994 and will be completed in
3
1/
1996 with the installation of four volleyball courts and the fmal landscape material; however,
construction of playground equipment is not scheduled until 1997 and a park shelter is not budgeted
until 1999.
Two hundred thousand dollars is budgeted in 1999 for construction of a seasonal park shelter that
will accommodate groups of up to 100 and will be available for park reservation use.
Miller Park -$1,210,000
A 1992 bond referendum included $3,800,000 for improvements to Miller Park. Two hundred and
thirty thousand dollars (the balance of the 1992 referendum funds) is scheduled for completion of
Miller Park in 1996 and includes developing a park shelter that will accommodate a summer
playground program. winter warming house program and small group picnic reservations. The funds
will also be used for developing a parking lot, a skating rink and a hockey rink.
Two hundred thirty thousand dollars is budgeted in 1998 for construction of a picnic pavilion in the
wooded area, large enough to accommodate groups of 200 for picnic reservations, etc. on a May
through mid October seasonal use. This budget would have to be incr~ased if the Council decides
to have a year round facility.
Two hundred fifty thousand dollars is budgeted in the year 2001 for construction of a softball
complex building (restrooms, concession, and storage facility).
Two hundred fifty thousand dollars is budgeted in 2002 for a soccer/football facility building
(concession, restrooms, storage facility).
Two hundred fifty thousand dollars is budgeted in the year 2003 for a baseball building/seating area.
This facility is projected to be a covered seating area similar to the old style baseball park with
concession, restrooms, and storage facility constructed under the seating area.
Purgatory Creek Recreation Area -$1,820,000
A $20,000 grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the outlet control structure will be
utilized in 1996 and $500,000 is budgeted in 1997, $1,000,000 in 1998, and $250,000 in 1999 for
the City's matching portion of the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area. This $4,000,000 project is
projected to begin in 1997. The Riley Purgatory Creek Watershed District will fund approximately
3.2 million dollars of this $4,000,000 project. The 1.8 million dollars is budgeted under the tax
increment fmancing program.
Birch Island Park -$150,000
One hundred fifty-thousand dollars is budgeted in 1999 to construct a seasonal park shelter to
accommodate small groups, to provide playground equipment to serve the neighborhood, and to
improve the parking lot to a hard surface.
4
I~
Preserve Park -$250,000
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is budgeted in 1999 for construction of a park shelter and
grading a free skating rink to accommodate the revised park and renovating the playstructure. The
existing park shelter is falling apart and the use of the pond as a skating rink results in extremely poor
quality ice and shortened season due to the springs in that pond. The playstructure is ranked as
one of the most dangerous in the system.
Prairie View Park -$200,000
Two hundred thousand dollars is budgeted in 2000 for replacing the park shelter that was destroyed
by fire in 1995. The City purchased a portable shelter for the interim.
Pheasant Woods Park -$50,000
Fifty thousand dollars is budgeted in 1996 for replacing the playground equipment. repairing the
backstop, park benches, etc.
Edenbrook Conservation Area -$155,000
Fifty five-thousand dollars is budgeted in 1999 for construction of a small parking lot access and trail
head for the conservation area. The trail will be a turf trail with some woodchip sections in low areas.
The estimated cost for the trail construction is $100,000.
Rice Marsh Lake Park -$110,000
Ten thousand dollars is budgeted in 1996 for finish grading, seeding, and landscaping. Fifty thousand
dollars is budgeted in 1997 for installation of a backstop and playground structure.
Fifty thousand dollars is budgeted in 1998 for construction of the tennis courts, basketball court, and
final landscaping of this park.
Miller Spring -$15,000
Fifteen thousand dollars is budgeted in 1997 for renovation of Miller Spring, which would include
upgrading the parking lot and improving the design of the pedestrian access to the spring, as well as
providing a flower garden and landscaping automatically watered by the spring. This location is also
the trail head location the Charlson prairie. This proj ect is long overdue; however, the staff has
delayed the project due to concerns about affecting Miller Spring with any major changes to the
piping system, etc.
Cedar Forest Park -$250,000
Fifty thousand dollars was budgeted in Cedar Forest Park for the year 2000 for initial grading and
seeding of that park. Two hundred thousand dollars is budgeted over the next two years for park
development.
5
IQ
Crestwood Park -$375,000
Twenty five-thousand dollars was budgeted in 1997 for grading and seeding Crestwood Park.
Fifty thousand dollars is also budgeted for 1998 for installation of the backstop and playstructure.
Fifty thousand dollars is budgeted in 1999 for construction of the tennis courts, basketball court, and
parking lot.
Two hundred fifty thousand dollars is budgeted in 2000 for construction of the wanning house and
hockey rink.
Topview Park -$10,000
Ten thousand dollars is budgeted for preschool age play equipment at Topview Park.
Forest Hills Park -$200,000
Two hundred thousand dollars is budgeted in 200 I for replacement of the park shelter/warming
house.
Smetana Lake Park -$100,000
One hundred thousand dollars is budgeted in 1997 for the City'S match for the Smetana Lake
Improvement Project. Additional funding may be necessary for park development depending on what
type of development is approved and the type of park facilities that will be needed to serve that
development.
Flying Cloud Ballfields -$190,000
Twenty thousand dollars is budgeted in 1997 for the City's match on a $57,000 irrigation and fencing
project to complete irrigating the soccer fields, softball fields, and baseball fields at Flying Cloud
Fields. The Soccer Association has committed to provide $17,000 toward this project and the
Baseball Association has committed to providing $20,000 toward this project. Twenty thousand
dollars is budgeted in 1998 for placement of fill and relocating the airport security fence in order to
accommodate the proposed new road system and parking areas around the perimeter of the Flying
Cloud Field Complex.
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars is budgeted in 1999 for installing the new road system and
parking lot around the perimeter of Flying Cloud Ballfields. This should accommodate the grading
and placement of Class V in this area. If the new road system and parking lot is to be paved, the
general fund would have to provide some additional support for this project, or some other source
of funding.

ILl
BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN TRAIL CONSTRUCTION
P ARK AND OPEN SPACE TRAIL CONSTRUCTION
Rice Marsh Lake Trail -$160,000
Construction of a trail from Rice Marsh Lake Neighborhood Park to existing trail on the north side
of the lake is estimated to cost $10,000. The trail around the east and south side of the lake will be
connected to the trail along the west side of BeaI-path Golf Course when the City receives a trail
easement or title to the property necessary to make the connections. This trail will eventually go
under Highway 212. The estimated cost is $150,000, and the estimated timetable will depend on the
development of Highway 212.
Lower Purgatory Creek Valley Trail-$300,000
The trail along Purgatory Creek from County Road I south to Riverview Road will require a
minimum of five bridges crossing Purgatory Creek. This pedestrian trail may first be developed as
a turf trail with some woodchip sections, but may eventually be developed as an aglime trail similar
to the trail in the lower portions of Nine-Mile Creek in Bloomington. This trail section should be
initiated when the final portions of trail easement or land ownership is required. The estimated first
phase cost is $300,000.
Hidden Ponds -$25,000
The trail within the outlot of Hidden Ponds first should be replaced in 1997 with an eight-foot wide
aglime or recycled asphalt trail.
For several years, residents have complained about the narrow conditions of the tail over the
underpass along Anderson Lakes Parkway. The underpass should be lengthened to widen the trail.
Estimated cost $30,000.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The cost estimates (guess estimates) are not based on specific plans or with developed specifications;
therefore, Commission and Council members should expect that actual costs of estimates obtained
after drafting plans or more detailed programs are developed may vary considerably from these
estimates.
The City receives petitions from neighborhoods, special interest groups, etc. each year that may
change priorities; therefore, this CIP is reviewed and revised on an annual basis. The value of the
CIP is to provide the Commission and Council with a "general view" of the revenue and
expenditures over the next five-years in order to help make decisions regarding projects that
will occur over the next six months.

OLD BUSINESS
A. Community Center Pool Improvements -HVAC System and Pool
Filtration Improvements and Proposed Rate Increases
Staff referred the Commission to a memo dated August 13, 1997 from Bob
Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources; and a memo
dated August 14, 1997 from Elyce Kastigar, Community Center Manager.
Lambert explained the Community Center pool improvements have been on
hold and are ready to get plans and specifications completed and ready to go
to bid. At one point the entire project was under Water Technology
Incorporated. Staff has been frustrated because they were very slow so
Water Technology suggested splitting the project and have Erickson, Ellison
and Associates to do the heating and ventilation. Water Technology will do
the water circulation portion of the project. The cost estimate for the heating
ventilation improvement is $290,000 and the pool filtration upgrade is about
$70,000.
Staff recommended going forward with this project and use cash park fees
only because there is no other source of funding available. Staff also
recommended a rate increase to recoup some of those costs. He explained
the proposed rate increases and the rationale for recommending the rate
increases. He noted this is the first time staff has recommended prime time,
non prime time, and discounted pool rates. The direction from the City
Council concerning the Community Center has always been to try to meet
operating costs, try to charge the going rate for similar City facilities in the
area but not to price the kids out of the facilities. They want the users to pay
for the use of the facilities.
The School District has agreed that they should pay up to what the rate
should be for what the operating costs are but they want to pay the same as

everyone else for the same time period. Everyone can benefit from this
change and the City can generate close to $30,000 a year additional income
to pay for this $360,000 project.
Wilson was concerned whether the money would go back to cash park fees
or into the general fund. Lambert said it would go into the general fund to
help pay for operating costs. This project will push some of the park shelter
buildings in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) a little further out into the
future.
Wilson asked if this project will enable them to raise the temperature of the
pool so the older people who have quit can come back. Kastigar replied
during the summer they raised the water temperature back up to 83 degrees.
Water Technology believes they will have a swimming pool that is good
enough for competitive swimmers and all the different users. This will be
a well quality pool as far as air and water quality and should be able to be
operated at 83 degrees year round.
Koenig was concerned about the ozone system. Lambert said he would like
to operate this pool with these changes for a year or two without ozone.
Water Technology experts said there is no need to put in ozone for the type
of use in the pool. This will be as good as any pool in the state with these
changes and no ozone. Ozone allows operation of the pool with just a very
fraction of the chlorine that they operate on now and will eliminate the smell.
It would also reduce corrosion of metal hardware, etc. in the pool area.
Hilgeman asked if there is an ordinance or policy that states the City cannot
use cash park fees for maintenance and repair. Lambert said the State law
allows the City to collect cash park fees to provide a park and open space
system. In the past, the Council has committed to reimbursing the fund for
funding maintenance and repair projects.
Jacobson suggested requiring the Foxjets to be members ofthe Community
Center, which costs $140 a year, and it will give them rights to all the
amenities
Wilson noted prior to the second ice rink being built, the Hockey Association
agreed they would get a discounted rate for ice. Now the Hockey
Association pays the same rate everybody else pays and there are no
discounted rates for ice at any time. He said the rating structure is fair

though he's not a swimming person.
Mark Davis, president ofthe Foxjets, supported the upgrades to the pool but
was concerned about the rate increase from $22,000 to $34,000 a year just
for the Eden Prairie Community Center Pool not including Oak Point Pool.
This a huge increase for their organization. They are already the highest
program in terms of what they pay for pool time in the state of Minnesota
and not even close to anyone else. He was concerned that further increases
are going to cause people to look elsewhere for other programs at less of a
cost. To send two children to swim on the Foxjets costs $1,500 a year and
it takes a good income for any family to afford that.
He was also concerned about the start date being January. Their season starts
in the middle of the year and they don't have any ability to increase the rates.
He asked the Commission to consider modification of starting the increase
after June 1 or preferably when they start next season, September 1. Either
one would be acceptable. He also asked to limit prime time hours, instead
of6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, change it to 6:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from noon until 3:00 p.m. on
Saturday. This will keep a majority of their rates at an increase of up to $40
from the existing $35. This represents a 14 percent increase and is
something they can get their membership to pay.
Frantz asked if there are any fund raisers to help the kids pay. Davis said
they always host the State Championships for the state of Minnesota. They
just started talking about doing a swimathon where the kids get people to
pledge them, for example, 25 cents a lap.
Wilson asked if they would be able to participate in something like the
Mighty Ducks Grant that the Hockey Association did in order to generate
funding. Davis said they are not a cash rich organization. The Hockey
Association has 700 members and the Foxjets only have 250 members. It
costs them $100,000 a year to have professional coaches. It's a different
financial structure with swimming.
Brown commented the other associations are contributing thousands of
dollars to help defray some ofthe overhead. Even though the Foxjets' costs
go up, they have to keep in mind almost 50 percent of the people in Eden
Prairie have no children participating in anything and it becomes unfair that
the City should be subsidizing the Foxjets. The Foxjets are paying the same

as they did eight years ago and the City is not asking for a whole lot. Over
an eight year period the City has been subsidizing the Foxjets and do not
need to spend $360,000 ifit were not for the competitive swim teams.
Davis said the Foxjets have been paying the same money for the last eight
years but they were probably 10 or 20 times over the average swim club
versus only two or three times higher.
Stolar commented his wife has been a competitive swimmer all her life and
indicated the pool is not enjoyable the way the ventilation is now but
certainly adequate for her non-competitive needs. It's strictly for competitive
reasons that it needs to be upgraded.
Davis stated you can't run a swim team with volunteer coaches like in hockey
or soccer. They spend a lot of money each year on professional coaches.
Their expenses are mainly pool time and coaches.
Koenig was sympathetic to the Foxjets but these are expensive sports and
people have to expect to spend money. They have to look at the City as a
whole and if they're going to spend half a million dollars to fix that pool for
a relatively small number of Eden Prairie residents, it means taking money
away from other areas where a larger citizenry might benefit.
MOTION 1: Wilson moved, seconded by Jacobson, to approve the staff
recommendations relative to the improvements at the Eden Prairie
Community Center Pool as described in the staff memo with a comment
from the Parks and Recreation Commission that they will support the staff
recommendations that the project be done, but don't support the use of cash
park fees for these kinds of maintenance problems. Motion failed 3-4 with
the no votes by Corneille, Brown, Koenig and Hilgeman.
MOTION 2: Hilgeman moved, seconded by Comeille, to do the
Community Center Pool improvements, HV AC system and pool filtration
improvements, but not with cash park fees. Motion carried 7-0.
MOTION 3: Comeille moved, seconded by Wilson, to accept staffs
recommendation for rate increase as stated in the August 13 memo. Motion
carried 7-0.

To: Mayor and City Council
Mr. Robert Lambert
From: Mark Davis, President
Eden Prairie Foxjet Swim Club
The Foxjet Swim Club fully supports the proposed upgrades to the Eden Prairie
Community Center pool. These modifications will help assure the community
that our children will have a safe and healthy environment in which to swim.
We are, however, very concerned about the proposed increase in pool rental
rates. The Foxjets already pay the highest pool rental in the entire State of
Minnesota. As an example, the following rates are being charged at other pools
in the area. Since most of these pools are six lanes rather than 8, we have
adjusted the cost upward to equal the prorata charge for an eight lane 25 yard
pool, such as EPCC. The cost of pools from other communities are listed below:
25 Yard Adj. Cost/Hr.
Communitv/Pool/Team # of Lanes Cost/Hr. 8 Lane Pool
Minnetonka -Middle Sch. 6 $8.00 $10.67
Wayzata -West Middle Sch. 6 $11.50 $15.33

NHCP Swim Club
Chaska 6 $5.50 $7.33
West Express Swim Club
Foxjet Swim Club EPCC 8 $26.80
OP 6 $25.20
Currently, the Foxjet Swim Club pays $26.80 per hour or $3.35/Iane to rent the
EPCC pool (8 lane, 25 yard) and $25.20 per hour or $4.20/Iane to rent the Oak
Point pool (6 lane, 25 yard pool). Based on the current rate structure, the
Foxjets will pay the City of Eden Prairie for the one year period beginning April 8,
1997 and ending March 14, 1998, approximately $29,300. An increase to $40 or
$50 per hour would represent a 50% to 87% increase in our pool rental cost.
This fall, the Foxjets are renting 22 hours per week at the Eden Prairie
Community Center pool. Based on the proposal by City staff, 8.50 hours would
be considered prime time and 13.50 hours would be considered non-prime time.
The blended rate which the Foxjets would pay based upon the increased rates
would be $43.86 per hour. This equates to a 64% increase in our pool rental
cost. We simply can't afford to pay pool rental rates at this level.
Our average swimmer already pays approximately $775 per year to swim, (low
$563 to high $1,023). Further increases in our Club dues to cover additional
rent will begin to drive Eden Prairie children to look elsewhere for less expensive
swim program alternatives.
Based on the comparable pool rental rates from other communities shown
above, the Foxjets currently pay anywhere from 175% to 366% above rates paid
by other swim programs. This doesn't even count the communities that provide
pool time to their locally based swim clubs for free. One point that was raised at
the last Park & Rec Board Meeting was that pool rental rates haven't been raised
in 8 years. If the Foxjets currently pay 1.75 to 3.70 times the pool rental cost of
other swim clubs, how much more has our Club paid during the last 8 years? I
would guess that it's 5 to 6 times and maybe more.
As always, we sincerely appreciate being part of the Eden Prairie community.
The Foxjets will continue to be strong advocates of youth sports programs within
the City. Please work with us to help keep our cost structure reasonable.
Sincerely,
I1J.
Mark A. Davis, President
Eden Prairie Foxjet Swim Club
