The building proposed is 51 feet tall.
Enger said the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to approve this project at its
August 25, 1997 meeting, subject to additional landscaping on the north side of
the proposed building and along the south property line of the existing bUilding.
He reviewed the waivers for building height and impervious surface. The
Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission did not review this item.

Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on September
4, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News and mailed to 12 property owners within the
affected area.
Dennis Zilla, representing Northco, reviewed the proposal. He said they would
like to request an early grading and foundation permit if the project is approved
tonight.
Enger said the site is currently guided and zoned office according to a plan
approved in 1978. That plan included future development of 360,000 square
feet in 3 buildings and 3 multi-level parking decks. Building A, 150,000 square
feet, is proposed to be constructed this fall. Building Band C are future
buildings.
Enger said the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to approve this project at its
August 25, 1997 meeting, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report of
August 22, 1997, and additional landscaping along Anderson Lakes.
Lambert said the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission reviewed
the project on September 15, 1997, and recommended approval on a 6-0 vote,
subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report of August 22, 1997, and
construction of a trail along the right-of-way on West 78th.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
September 16, 1997

Case asked about the language in the 1978 plan concerning the shore land
setback and the dedicated land. Lambert said in the original PUD the Gelco
property dedicated 12 acres of land that was transferred from the City to
Hennepin County. Case asked if that was only the land on the point, not the
shoreland. Lambert said that was correct. Enger noted there was a nature
conservancy established along Anderson Lakes, and custom setbacks were setup
based on the lay of the land in 1973.
Case asked if there was any understanding of what would go on between the
Blacklock line and the shoreline. Enger said nothing would go on in that area.
Case asked if it would be good to specify the use of carsonite markers for the
easement. Lambert said the 12 acres are dedicated, and it is important to use
the markers when there is a potential for encroachment. Since this is an office
site, it may not be necessary to have the markers because there will be
designated trails for use by the employees; however, he said markers might
make others who are not aware of the restrictions more aware of it. Case
thought we might want to request use of the markers in order to set a precedent.
Zilla noted the Planning Commission recommended landscape islands which
resulted in a reduction in the impervious surface to 35.2 % . He said it is their
understanding that they had satisfied the park dedication requirement with the
land they dedicated originally.
Lambert said Staff reviewed the cash park fees information and determined they
are not required to pay cash park fees on that part of the site within the original
Preserve PUD; however, there is no indication they are relieved of cash park
fees on the other portion of the site. Staff will continue to research this issue.
Bruce Adams, representing Lifetouch, expressed concern about traffic issues
and asked if any traffic studies had been done. Enger said there was a complete
traffic study done when it was originally approved, and we have evaluated
against that study. He said we do have traffic problems that are work-trip
related, and we will need the cooperation of corporations in town to resolve
those problems.
Harris said the Council is examining various options for transportation and is
very sensitive to the issues of traffic.
MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Tyra-Lukens, to close the Public
Hearing; to approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for PUD District Review on
60.29 acres and Zoning District Amendment in the Office Zoning District on
60.29 acres; to adopt Resolution 97-178 for PUD Concept Review on 60.29
acres; to adopt Resolution 97-179 for Preliminary Plat on 42.31 acres; and to
direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and
Staff recommendations. Motion carried 5-0.

MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to approve
proponent's request for early grading and foundation construction, at the
proponent's own risk. Motion carried 5-0.
Harris said she assumed we will have worked out the issue of cash park fees
prior to 2nd Reading. Lambert said that was true.
c. THE PINES -JULY 1997 by Lunski Construction and Design. Request for
PUD Concept Review on 5.81 acres, PUD District Review on 5.81 acres,
Zoning District Change from Rural to RI-13.5 on 5.81 acres and Preliminary
Plat on 5.81 acres into 14 single family lots and one outlot. Location: County
Road 18 Frontage Road and Bluff Road. (Resolution 97-180 for PUD Concept
Review and Resolution 97-181 for Preliminary Plat)
Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on September
4, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News and mailed to 69 property owners within the
affected area. After several revisions to the proposal, a 14-10t, single-family
plan was reviewed meeting the recommendations of the Planning Commission,
including the current site plan, reducing tree loss to approximately 30 %, and
maintaining large areas of natural buffering from Bluff Road and Highway 169.
Perry Ryan, Ryan Engineering, reviewed the proposal.. He requested an early
grading permit if the project is approved tonight, and also asked if they could be
put on the Agenda for the next Council meeting for 2nd Reading.
Enger said the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to approve this project at its
August 25, 1997 meeting, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report of
August 22, 1997. He reviewed the waivers required for the project, noting they
may help create a project that would be more environmentally sensitive to the
site. He said the plans have been revised per the recommendations of the
August 22nd Staff Report.
Lambert said the Parks Commission reviewed the proposal at their September
15, 1997, meeting, and recommended approval on a 6-0 vote, subject to the
recommendations of the Staff Report of August 22, 1997, and subject to the
condition that the conservation easements be marked with posts, that the
conservation easement remain a minimum of 25 feet beyond the building pad,
and that placing of structures, grading or cutting of established trees in the
conservation easement be prohibited.
There were no comments from the audience.
Tyra-Lukens asked for an explanation of Variance B. Enger said most of the
variances were brought about by one ordinance that single-family homes must
be on a public street. A discussion followed regarding the lots included in
Variance B.

Case asked who will hold and maintain the conservation easement. Lambert
said it will be the Homeowners Association. Case noted it is less confusing to
keep the lines straight when setting up easements.
Tyra-Lukens asked if, in cases where there is a private road and a Homeowners
Association involved, it is formalized that a lien can be put on the property if
dues are not paid for maintenance and plowing. Lambert said it is.
MOTION: Butcher-Younghans moved, seconded by Case, to close the Public
Hearing; to approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for PUD District Review on
5.81 acres and Zoning District Change from Rural to RI-13.5 on 5.81 acres; to
adopt Resolution 97-180 for PUD Concept Review on 5.81 acres; to adopt
Resolution 97-181 for Preliminary Plat on 5.81 acres into 14 single family lots
and one outlot; and to direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement
incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations. Motion carried 5-0.
MOTION: Butcher-Younghans moved, seconded by Case, to approve
proponent's request for early grading, at proponent's own risk. Motion carried
5-0.
Harris asked if there will be any difficulty with scheduling a 2nd Reading for
the next meeting. Enger said we will do that if it is possible, but we need to
look at the schedule first.
D. WASHBURN McCREA VY FUNERAL CHAPEL by Washburn McReavy
Funeral Chapel. Request for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on
7.51 acres, Planned Unit Development District Review on 7.51 acres, Zoning
District Amendment in the Community Commercial Zoning District on 7.51
acres, Site Plan Review on 7.51 acres and Preliminary Plat of 7.51 acres.
Location: East on Mitchell Road, east of Martin Drive. (Resolution 97-182 for
PUD Concept Review and Resolution 97-183 for Preliminary Plat)
Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on September
4, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News and mailed to 90 property owners within the
affected area. The site is currently guided and zoned Community Commercial
and the site plan shows an 11,727 square foot building. The plan meets the base
area and floor area requirements. The building meets the setback requirements
of the Community Commercial Zoning District. The amount of parking
required is 70 spaces and this plan meets those requirements.
William McCreavy, proponent, reviewed the plan.
Butcher-Younghans asked what will be on the second floor of the building.
McCreavy said the entryway will be two stories high and there will be a casket
area on the second floor. Butcher-Y ounghans then asked if the parking required
is 70 spaces. McCreavy said they have 91 spaces.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
September 16, 1997

Enger said the Planning Commission reviewed this project at its August 25,
1997 meeting and voted to approve the project on a 3-0-3 vote, subject to the
recommendations of the Staff Report of August 22, 1997. The main issue
discussed was whether the city could sustain, from an economic standpoint,
another funeral chapel. He read extracts of a letter from City Attorney Pauly
stating that it is not within the prerogative of the City to make a decision purely
on economic considerations. He noted this was not reviewed by the Parks
Commission.
Paul Huber, 13694 Glory Lane, said they built Eden Prairie's first funeral home
in 1994. The community is very young so the mortality rate is very low.
Approval of this project would mean the City now has three funeral homes in a
space of three years. He thought there will be problems getting across Highway
5, and property values in the area near the home may be adversely affected.
Michael D. Schwarz, P.A., representing Mr. Huber, distributed a letter dated
September 6, 1997, outlining legal arguments with respect to the Washburn
McCreavy proposal. The letter also included the agenda of the Eden Prairie
Planning Commission for Monday, August 25,1997, a copy of the Staff Report
dated August 22, 1997, regarding the Washburn McCreavy Chapel, and a copy
of the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting of August 25, 1997. He
believed it is not economically possible for three funeral homes to co-exist in
Eden Prairie. He said we are not compelled to approve a project that is not in
the best interest of the City. He thought consideration had not been given to the
effect on traffic on Highway 5. He cited several cases that supported his
arguments and noted the Planning Commission was not given accurate
information.
Enger disagreed the Planning Commission had been given inaccurate
information because commercial is one of the land uses in the Comprehensive
Guide Plan and funeral homes are a commercial use. The zoning had to be
amended for the Huber and Albinson cases because they were not in a
commercial use zone.
Case asked Pauly for clarification of the concept of whether premature
development is a rational basis for denial. Pauly said he hasn't read that
particular case and would need to look at it, but he would address the situation
in general. He said there is no case cited that has reversed the holding of the
U.S. Metro case. There is no requirement for revision of the Comprehensive
Guide Plan to accommodate this rezoning. There is no inconsistency between
the current zoning and use of the property for a funeral home.
Butcher-Y ounghans asked Pauly to clarify the concept of community
commercial. Pauly said the community commercial district is very broadly
drawn. It does not specify that funeral homes are not permitted, and courts have

regularly stated where a code provision or ordinance is not clear as to uses
permitted, it will generally be construed against a conservative construction of
the provision.
Harris said she would like to know what the numbers presented mean, as the
City is a part of a much larger area. McCreavy said there were 156 deaths in
Eden Prairie in 1995. Harris then asked what percentage of services are
conducted away from the funeral home today, as she was concerned about
processions going somewhere on Highway 5. McCreavy said he understood
that Highway 5 will go under Mitchell Road. He noted many of their customers
opt not to have a procession.
Harris asked what the possibility of converting any of the three structures would
be, given their location and structure. Enger said it would seem these would
have potential reuse as office or small medical facilities.
Case felt Eden Prairie does not need three funeral chapels at this time. He was
concerned about limitations on the Council and whether we have any play in the
area of economics. Pauly said in his opinion, cities do not have that discretion,
based on the Metro 500 decision; however, historic preservation is something
else.
Tyra-Lukens noted there is little material regarding the proponent being short 22
caliper inches for landscaping, and asked whether the plan submitted includes
the extra 22 inches. Mark Folk, project architect, said there will be two trees
added to the plan.
MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Case, to close the Public
Hearing; to approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for PUD District Review on
7.51 acres and Zoning District Amendment in the Community Commercial
Zoning District on 7.51 acres; to adopt Resolution 97-182 for PUD Concept
Review on 7.51 acres; to adopt Resolution 97-183 for Preliminary Plat on 7.51
acres; and to direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating
Commission and Staff recommendations. Motion carried 5-0.
Folk then requested an early grading and foundation construction permit.
MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Thorfmnson, to approve
proponent's request for early grading and foundation construction, at
proponent's own risk. Motion carried 5-0.
VI. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS
MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to approve the
Payment of Claims as submitted. Motion carried on a roll call vote, with
Butcher-Younghans, Case, Thorfinnson, Tyra-Lukens and Harris voting "aye."

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA Date: Oct. 7, 1997
Section: Consent Calendar
Department: PRNR ~ Subject: Approval ofIrrigation Bids for Flying Item No.:
Stuart A. Fox, Manager of Cloud Ballfields rv,u,
Parks & Natural Resources
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff would recommend the City Council approve the bid to put irrigation into Flying Cloud ballfields as
submitted by Metro Lawn Sprinklers at a cost of $43,235.
BACKGROUND:
Earlier this year, the staff received information from the Soccer Association and Baseball Association regarding
improvements to Flying Cloud ballfields. The Associations proposed donating money to the City to help pay for
the cost of irrigation improvements, as well as fencing and warning tracks on field one. The improvement plan
that was submitted by the Associations is detailed in a February 19, 1997 memo, which is attached. The cost was
to be shared between the Soccer and Baseball Associations and City. The Soccer and Baseball Association would
pay $28,400 and the City would pay $11,000 of the estimated $39,400 cost for irrigation. This was approved
by the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and City Council.
BID SUMMARY:
The staff prepared bids for irrigation of Flying Cloud Fields and the bids were opened September 30, 1997. The
results of that bid process are as follows:
• Aqua Engineering
• Greentech, Inc.
$48,741
$46,700
IRRIGATION SPECIFICATION COMMENTS:
Metro Lawn Sprinklers
Aqua City Irrigation, Inc.
$43,235
$61,400
When the staff first proposed irrigating Flying Cloud Fields, the plans were for a simple saddle. pipe irrigation
system. In reviewing the project further this summer, the staff made changes to the specifications to minimize
problems that could occur with operation and maintenance procedures such as aeration and mowing. The original
specifications did not use swing joints, which allow the irrigation heads to be compressed by tires of maintenance
equipment and not be damaged. In addition, the decision was made to upgrade the proposed sprinkler heads.
We use these heads in our other facilities and they have lowered maintenance repairs and costs. By making these
changes, the low bid came in $3,835 over the estimated project cost. The staff would recommend that this
additional cost of $3,835 be paid out of the cash park fees in order to proceed with this project.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources ~
DATE: February 19, 1997
SUBJECT: Proposed Donations by Soccer Association and Baseball Association for
Improvements to Flying Cloud Ballfields
The City has received proposed donations from the Soccer Association and the Baseball Association
for improvements to Flying Cloud ballfields. The Soccer Association has also made a request for
the City to consider expansion of the property leased from the Metropolitan Airports Commission
for the purpose of doubling the number of soccer fields at that site.
Proposed Donations and Projects
Project
Soccer Association Irrigation -Flying Cloud $17,400 Soccer Assn -0-
$17,400
Baseball Association Irrigation -Flying Cloud $22,000 Baseball Assn $11,000
$11,000
Fences, Warming Track, Sod $18,000 $9,000 $9,000
TOTAL $57Noo $37,400 $20,000
City contribution comes from cash park fees.
SOCCER ASSOCIATION REQUEST:
On January 13, 1997, the City received a letter from the Eden Prairie Soccer Association offering
to donate funds to pay for an irrigation system and assist with costs associated with turf repair for
the following areas at Flying Cloud Fields:
1. The east side of the complex.
2. The west side to the south end of the fields.
3. Aeration and over seeding the east side of the complex after an irrigation system is installed.
2
The Soccer Association also requests the City consider acquisition or leasing of additional space at
the Flying Cloud Complex. "Our estimates 'are that we should rest about 25% of the fields each
season. Hence, an optimum facility would be to have room for approximately 30 small fields and
20 large ones. This would about double our current field area."
The estimated cost to complete the irrigation of the soccer fields at Flying Cloud as proposed is
$17,400. The estimated cost to aerate and over seed the turf area is an additional $1,500.
If the City Council wishes to consider an expansion of Flying Cloud Fields, it is unlikely that th~
Metropolitan Airports Commission would allow any further expansion to the south due to the
proximity to the runway. The Metropolitan Airports Commission may consider expansion to the
west toward Spring Road; however, development of an additional 20-30 acres to double the number
of soccer fields would very likely require a referendum or a complete reprioritization of the capital
improvement program for the development of the park system.
RECOMMENDATION:
Prior to spending funds for the development a park plan, grading plan and cost estimates, staff
would recommend asking the Metropolitan Airports Commission if they would consider any
expansion beyond what is proposed by the traffic study for parking and road systems. If the
Metropolitan Airports Commission would consider leasing land to the west for additional ballfields,
staff would recommend additional research on all athletic facility needs prior to making a
recommendation on additional soccer field expansion.
Staff requests authorization to obtain bids for the installation of the irrigation system to be
installed as early as possible this year, and to request the Metropolitan Airports Commission
if they would consider expansion of the lease for Flying Cloud ballfields westerly to Spring
Road.
BASEBALL ASSOCIATION REQUEST:
On February 19, 1997, the City received a letter from the Eden Prairie Baseball Association
proposing to donate $20,000 toward two improvement projects at Flying Cloud ballfields. Those
projects include the following:
1. Irrigation of Flying Cloud ballfields numbers 1 through 8. (The Baseball Association is
proposing to contribute $11,000 toward this project that has a total estimated cost of
$22,000.)
2. Installation of new fences, new warning track and sod for the infield on the Flying Cloud
field number one. (The Baseball Association is proposing to donate $3,000 per year in
1997, 1998 and 1999 toward this project. The estimated cost of this project is $18,000.)
RECOl\1l\1ENDATION:
City staffs recommend approval of the request to irrigate these ballfields in 1997. This project
. should be included with the irrigation project proposed by the Soccer Association. Irrigating the
fields number 2 through 8 will eliminate the ability for cars to park in outfields, as this will now be
irrigated turf. This will greatly improve the turf conditions for the fall football programs; however,
the City will have to install fencing that will eliminate cars from parking on the turf in this area.
Staff further recommends approval of installing sod in the infields and installation of fences
on Flying Cloud Field number one.
The donations proposed by these Athletic Associations will allow the City to irrigate this entire
complex, which is critical to continue the heavy use of this area for baseball, softball, soccer and
football.

residents. He explained why the key issue here is how the residency
percentage will be calculated with the DAT team. He doesn't believe the
Foxjets can afford to buy all of the swim time available that the City does not
use for open swim. There are going to be available times that the DAT could
use. The only recommendation they are changing is that the swim team be
dropped from 95 percent to 75 percent to be a Priority III team.
Discussion continued about whether the Commission will recognize the DAT
group as an entire group or as an entity in and of itself. Staff gave the hours
and days of pool time used regularly by the Foxjets.
MOTION: Wilson moved, seconded by Jacobson, to ask the two
organizations to work with City staff to share pool time at the Oak Point and
Eden Prairie pools, and recognize the DAT program as a part of a greater
DAT program because that's the way they are recognized by their governing
bodies, that each group will fall into the priority based upon their current
population as established by the City guidelines. (There would not be a
residency variance granted to swim teams.) Motion carried 7-0.
B. Proposed Donation frOID Eden Prairie Soccer and Eden Prairie Baseball
for Improvements to Flying Cloud Fields
Staff referred the Commission to a memo dated February 19, 1997, from Bob
Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources; a letter dated
January 13, 1997, from Ken Bomben, Eden Prairie Soccer Association; and
a letter dated February 19, 1997, from Drew Bartley, Eden Prairie Baseball
Association.
Lambert explained the Soccer Association recently sent staff a proposal to
donate 100 percent of the costs to irrigate the remaining soccer fields at
Flying Cloud Fields. Some of the fields are irrigated alr~ady and they want
to do the remaining ones. The estimated cost for the proj ect is $17,400.
Staff also received a letter from the Baseball Association indicating they
would donate 50 percent or match funds for irrigation of the baseball and
softball fields, and put some warning track and fencing on the baseball fields
at Flying Cloud. The total cost for the two projects proposed by the two
organizations is $57,400 on which the City's cost will be $20,000. He
explained why the two organizations made these recommendations to the
City. Staff believes they are very fortunate to have associations make these
generous donations and recommended the City use $20,000 in cash park fees
to provide their match for these projects. These projects would be done this
summer.

Bruce was concerned about the parking once the fencing is put up. Lambert
said the fencing would eliminate the parking and explained the plan for the
fencing. Fox commented they are only talking about fencing one field out
there, field # 1. There are some real safety concerns out there and that's the
other reason for fencing that field.
Lambert commented that for many years they said they would like to irrigate
Flying Cloud but he never recommended irrigating it until MAC made a
decision on what their final plan was for the expansion of their entire plan.
He never recommended putting extensive improvements into Flying Cloud
Fields until they know what MAC's plans are.
Wilson asked if the irrigation will reduce the stress on the fields. Lambert
replied it will improve the quality of the turf because you will have green
soft turf which should result in fewer injuries. The City will have a higher
maintenance costs on the fields once this is done.
Ken Bomben, 9260 Talus Circle. Eden Prairie Soccer Association.
commented there was a tremendous amount of damage to the east side of the
complex last year as a result of the dry summer and dry fall. He explained
the proposal and the need to alleviate this problem.
Wilson thanked the Soccer Association on behalf of the Commission for their
generous donation.
Jacobson commented prior to spending funds for development of a park plan
and grading plan. a cost estimate should be done and ask MAC if they would
consider any expansion beyond what is proposed. Lambert noted that will
be discussed later on under the traffic study.
MOTION: Brown moved. seconded by Jacobson,. to accept staffs
recommendation to accept the donation to fix the fields, for irrigation, and
to put up fencing from the Soccer Association and the Baseball Association.
Motion carried 7-0.

Case said he had discussed this with Councilmember Butcher-Y ounghans
and they believe this provides future opportunities down the line that we
need to begin thinking about now. He would like staff to start looking at
next year and the years to come for options to using Round Lake only as
we have in the past. We need to look at some possibilities that would
accommodate up to 20,000 people in the future.
Butcher-Y ounghans had received several calls from residents wanting to
have the fireworks. She thought we need to look at this as a transition
year and as an opportunity to look at other possibilities.
Tyra-Lukens asked whether we could reserve July 6 as a backup date in
case of bad weather on July 4. Tria Mann said they have asked for
either date, but they could explore the possibility of reserving both dates.
Case said that while cost is not everything, it is problematic. He asked
staff to explore moving some of the day-time activities that were held at
Round Lake in the past to other parks in the City, and to provide
activities that will be low or no cost. Lambert thought they could
explore the opportunity to try out different things.
Butcher-Y ounghans thought it is essential to get the word out to people if
we are able to have the fireworks. She suggested using the newspaper
and to having flyers sent out with school children.
Case said that while campaigning at the 1994 Fourth of July event he
noticed about one out of five participants was not from Eden Prairie.
The consensus was to proceed with Option 2 in the staff memorandum to
have fireworks at the Eden Prairie Center on July 4, 1997, provided the
permission of Eden Prairie Center is obtained.
2. Proposed DogatioQS from Edeg Prairie Soccer Association and Eden
Prairie Baseball Association for Improyements to Flying Cloud
Fields
Lambert said we have received donation proposals from the Eden Prairie
Soccer and Baseball Associations for improvements to the Flying Cloud
ballfields, as outlined in the staff report of March 4, 1997. The Soccer
Association also made a request for the City to consider expansion of the
property leased from Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) for the
purpose of doubling the number of soccer fields at that site. The total
dollar amount of donations proposed towards the irrigation, fencing,
warning track and sod equals $37,400. The total project cost will be
$57,400, leaving a balance of $20,000 to be covered by cash park fees.

Lambert said the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission
reviewed the proposal last evening and recommended approval of the
$20,000 expenditure for the improvements from Cash Park fees.
Tyra-Lukens asked where these improvements stand on the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). Lambert said we have talked about doing
these things but they are not presently part of the CIP. He said MAC
had several expansion plans, one of which included taking all of the
fields away from us. The plan that was approved by MAC has no
intention of putting hangars in that area, so staff now feels comfortable
in making recommendations for the improvements. He noted staff will
be coming to the Council in two weeks with the results of the traffic
study for road and parking improvements in that area.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to accept
the proposed donations from the Soccer Association and the Baseball
Association as per the Staff agenda report of March 4, 1997, and to
authorize Staff to obtain bids for the proposed improvements; and to
authorize Staff to request the Metropolitan Airport Commission to
consider expansion of the lease for Flying Cloud ball fields westerly to
Spring Road. Motion carried unanimously.
Tyra-Lukens suggested we extend a note of thanks to the Soccer and
Baseball Associations for their donations.

Section: Consent Calendar
Department: PRNR ~ Subject: Mitigation Plan for Tree Cutting at 17562 Item No.:
Stuart A. Fox, Manager of Belfast Cove -Hertig Residence -:fUJ.
Parks & Natural Resources
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff took the issue ofthe tree cutting and shoreline ordinance violation to the Parks, Recreation
and Natural Resources Commission with the recommendation that Mr. Hertig restore the backyard
in a manner including the following:
• Plant 108 diameter inches of trees for mitigation of trees cut along the shore impact zone.
• The backyard be regraded in accordance with the original grading plan submitted by the
developer.
Mr. Hertig appeared before the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission at the
September 15, 1997 Commission meeting, and the Commission approved the proposed mitigation
plan on a 6-0 vote. Staff would recommend that the City Council approve this plan, so that
mitigation work can start this fall.
Mr. Hertig has been working in cooperation with the staff to rectify the damage that was done with
tree cutting and earth removal at the rear of his residence. Staff is recommending that the proposed
landscaping materials and regrading plan will soften the impact that has occurred along Mitchell Lake.
BACKGROUND:
The staff received several calls from homeowners living along Mitchell Lake regarding tree cutting
that occurred over the weekend of June 28 and 29th. Many of these calls did not identifY the exact
location, but simply said that there was a white house on the south shore of Mitchell Lake which
became visible over the weekend due to tree cutting. Staff visited the site on June 30 and found that
a number of trees had been cut along the shoreline, including one large oak tree. The staff also noted
that there was a tree truck from Shadywood Tree Experts parked on the adjacent lot and several large
limbs and branches still remained on the property.
The staff returned to the office and called Shadywood Tree Experts. Brian Curtis, owner of
Shadywood, said that the truck that was on that property had been subcontracted to another tree
firm. The subcontractor was called to discuss the tree cutting. He stated he was working for Orin
Thompson Homes.
A phone call was placed to Orin Thompson Homes because the subcontractor had mentioned that
he was working for Orin Thompson Homes. Staff talked to Lee Johnson of Orin Thompson Homes
I
regarding the tree cutting. He stated that he was not aware of any tree cutting and he would check
it out. However, a phone call was not returned the remainder of that week.
Staff also inquired within City Hall as to any applications for grading or tree cutting that the either
the Engineering Department or the Community Development Department may have been aware of
Neither department was aware of the tree cutting and earth work that was occurring at the site. Staff
returned to the site on July 3 and took photographs and measurements regarding the tree cutting and
entered a memo into the file regarding this observation. A summary of the trees that were cut is as
follows:
• three oak trees removed -5", 9" and a 26"
• eleven basswood trees removed -five 5" trees, three 4" trees, and four 3" trees
• three cedar trees removed -two 5" trees and an 8" tree
The total number of trees removed was in excess of 108". Several others smaller trees and brush had
been cut, however, a complete inventory was not made.
In addition, the staff took photographs ofthe area, as well as several of the stumps for documentation
purposes. Because the work that was being done was a violation of the Shoreland Ordinance, staff
referred the matter to the Community Development Department and Engineering Department to see
if they could determine why the particular work has been done. The intent of that discussion was to
have one of the departments contact Orin Thompson to make sure that no additional work would
take place on the property until answers could be given regarding the apparent violation of the
Shoreland Ordinance.
On Monday, July 7, staff received anther phone call from property owners inquiring as to why
additional work was being done at the "white house" on Mitchell Lake. Staff again visited the site
and observed that a large quantity of earth had been removed from the backyard, including the area
where the trees had been cut. With the removal of the dirt the backyard drainage was directed into
Mitchell Lake. During that visit, the staff did notice that there now appeared to be furniture in the
house.
Upon returning to the office, staff found out that there had been no contact with either Orin
Thompson or a homeowner regarding the tree cutting that occurred the previous weekend.
On Wednesday, July 9, Jean Johnson, Zoning Administrator, notified me that she was in contact with
Mr. Joe Hertig, who was the owner of the property at 17562 Belfast Cove. She had arranged a
meeting with Mr. Hertig for Tuesday, July 15 to discuss the tree cutting and the earth removal from
the rear yard of this new residence.
MEETING WITH MR. HERTIG:
On Tuesday, July 15, staff met with Mr. Hertig and explained the three code infractions that had
2
occurred at this home on Belfast Cove. These code infractions included:
• failure to apply for a permit for grading a shoreland area and shore impact zone
• intensive clearing of vegetation within the shore impact zone
• alteration of an approved drainage plan
The staff met with Mr. Hertig and explained that because of the seriousness of this violation that
restoration and mitigation for the tree removal and grading would be necessary. At that time, staff
gave Mr. Hertig a copy of the Shoreland Ordinance, as well a copy of the grading plan for the Shores
of Mitchell Lake 5th Addition. Mr. Hertig admitted that he contracted for the tree removal and earth
work; however, he did not realize that this was a violation of the Shoreland Ordinance. It was
unclear during our discussions whether or not he had discussed removal of the trees with Orin
Thompson Homes at the time of purchase or closing.
Staff also received a copy of the restrictive covenants that, according to Lee Johnson, were given to
each property buyer in the Shores of Mitchell Lake 5th Addition. The covenants set up architectural
controls, as well as outlining various restrictions, including grading and tree removal. A copy of this
covenant declaration is attached to this memo.
At the time of the discussion with Mr. Hertig, staff explained that a mitigation plan would be taken
to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and the City Council for their review
prior to any restoration work. Staff also recommended that immediate steps be taken to install an
erosion control fence to prevent any further erosion of the backyard soils into Mitchell Lake ..
RESTORATION PLAN:
The restoration steps that the staff suggested to Mr. Hertig utilize in preparing a plan included the
following:
•
•
•
Planting trees similar in species to the 108 inches of trees that were removed. Trees would
include any of the oak trees (red, white, bur, or swamp white oak), basswood, ironwood,
American plum or pin cherry. The varieties that were suggested are similar to those that were
removed from the site.
The majority of the trees were to be planted within the 75' shoreland impact area where the
original trees had been removed. The intent was to restore the area so that the view of the home
from the lake would be again screened by trees. The staff did indicate that under the Shoreland
Ordinance views ofthe lake are permitted and that openings could be left in a couple of areas of
this tree planting. Because it was going to be difficult to put a 108 inches of trees in the area
where the tree cutting had occurred some latitude was being given in putting Co lorado spruce and
other trees along the two side yard areas of the Hertig residence.
An earth berm would have to be recreated between two and three feet high to eliminate water
drainage from the backyard directly into Mitchell Lake. The berm would have to be placed in line
with the excavation that occurred, which allowed the drainage to be vented directly into the lake.
(Because of the grading work that was done, the entire backyard may need to be regraded.
3
A deadline was given Mr. Hertig so that the proposed landscape plan would be available for the
September 15, 1997 Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission meeting.

Engineering Division Approve Revised Layout Plan for TH 212 from 0.5 Miles east of Mitchell
Alan D. Gray Road to 1-494
Recommended Action:
Approve the revised layout plan for TH 212 from 0.5 miles east of Mitchell Road to 1-494.
Overview:
The original layout plan for TH 212 through Eden Prairie was approved by Council in 1988.
MnDOT is now completing the construction plans for that portion ofTH 212 from 0.5 miles east
of Mitchell Road to 1-494 and plans to begin construction in 1998. Over the past nine years
many minor revisions have been made to the plans in this segment. Not all of the revisions have
been specifically approved by Council. MnDOT is requesting Council approval of this final
layout plan which is consistent with the detailed construction drawings now being finalized.
Many of the changes to the plan of this segment since 1988 improves the "fit" of the project into
the community. As an example, this plan requires less enchroachment into the parking lot at
Rainbow Center than shown on the original layout plan. Another example is the deletion of the
use of retaining walls in the northwest quadrant of the interchange with Prairie Center Drive.
Staff believes this final layout plan to be better and more refined than the original plan approved
in 1988.

Municipal Layout Approval -Portion Layout 5D
From 0.5 Mile East of Mitchell Road to I 494
Dear Mr. Gray:
Enclosed is the final layout for Stage 1 of the T.H. 212 construction project. A history
of its development is provided at the left end of the layout, between the title box and
index map. As you can see, numerous revisions have occurred over the past 13 years.
Some of those revisions have been approved by the City via formal resolution and some
have received only verbal approval from City staff. Therefore, it is difficult to
determine which revisions have occurred since the last "City Approval."
Consequently, rather than asking the City to approve only "here-to-fore unapproved
revisions," we ask that you review this layout (titled "Portion Layout 5D") in its
entirety, and provide a council resolution approving the layout in its current form. We
ask that this resolution be provided by October 15, 1997.
Thank you for your efforts in this matter. If you have any questions, please call me at
the telephone number listed above or call Harvey Scheffert at (612) 797-3037.

Annual Monitoring -Bearpath IVP
Public Works Development
Requested Action
Authorize an informal agreement with Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. for the 1997 bog monitoring program at the
Bearpath Golf and Country Club. Funding for the monitoring program would come from the stormwater utility
fund. The total estimated cost is $5,851. The monitoring program for 1997 would include:
• Water quality sampling
• Locating & Remarking of Water Quality Sampling Locations and Vegetation Transects
The vegetation transect monitoring will not be conducted in 1997. The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers has stated
that the vegetation monitoring by the City can begin in 1998.
Background
The bog monitoring activities at Bearpath began in 1992, with a vegetation survey by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (COE). A long-term sampling and monitoring plan for the three existing bogs was developed as a
special condition of the COE permit number 91-30137-IP-JJY issued on September 10, 1993. Water quality
sampling began in 1993.
The monitoring program was developed to assess potential changes in the bog ecosystems during both the
construction phase of the project and after completion of the golf and country club. The program included
assessment of the water quality and vegetation at the three bogs. The sampling program was designed to monitor
changes at the most sensitive areas of each wetland basin. Construction continues along the perimeter of the large
bog.
Sienna Corporation was responsible for the program through 1995. The City of Eden Prairie began coordinating
the sampling program in 1996, in accordance with the COE permit guidelines.
The COE has stated that water quality sampling shall continue on an annual basis for at least 2 additional years.
The COE will evaluate the data at this time and determine if the water quality sampling can be reduced to once
every other year. Vegetation sampling will need to continue every other year indefinitely. The COE has expressed
a willingness to reconsider the frequency of the vegetation sampling only when the sampling results have stabilized
and no changes in water quality or vegetative diversity are identified.

Subject: Proposed Scope of Services and Cost Estimate
Bog Monitoring Program
Bearpath Golf and Country Club
Eden Prairie, Minnesota
Dear Leslie:
Summit Envirosolutions®, Inc. (Summit) has prepared the following proposal to complete tasks
associated with the ongoing Bog Monitoring Program at the Bearpath Golf and Country Club.
We understand that the City of Eden Prairie has assumed primary responsibility for further
implementation of the established Bog Monitoring Program.
Tasks that are presented in this proposal include locating and remarking water quality sampling
and vegetative transect locations, completion of water quality sampling for 1997, and completing
a vegetation survey event.
The proposed water quality monitoring and vegetation survey activities are designed to be
consistent with prior water quality sampling events (1993, 1994, 1995, and 1996) and vegetation
survey events (1992 and 1994). The proposed water quality sampling activities include field
analysis of key water quality parameters at bog wetland basins Y, F, and 0 (Figure 1). The tasks
we propose to complete in 1997 are described below.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Locating and Remarking Activities
During the 1996 field activities, permanent stakes marking water quality sampling locations and
vegetation transects were hard to locate due to missing identification flags or deterioration of the
marker flags. Summit personnel will relocate these locations and replace the deteriorated or
missing markers with new ones that are weather resistant.
Water quality sampling locations at the interior of bog wetland basins Y, F, and 0 were prepared
during the 1994 baseline monitoring event by cutting out a one-foot diameter by one-foot deep

section of the sphagnum mat and lining the hole with wire-mesh cloth. These installations have
deteriorated and become overgrown since 1994. The interior surface sampling locations will be
prepared and allowed to equilibrate for a minimum of one week before the water quality
sampling event.
Water Quality Sampling
The three bogs will be sampled at similar locations chosen for the Baseline Sampling and the
Bog Monitoring Program. Two water samples will be collected at each sampling location in the
interior of the bogs. These samples will be collected at the surface of the sphagnum mat and
between the floating sphagnum mat and the soil/sediment interface (Figure 2) as follows:
• Surface water samples (Zone A) -Surface water samples will be collected within the upper
1.5 feet of the bog mat surface. These samples will be analyzed in the field for pH,
conductivity, and temperature. Samples will be collected for the analysis of nitrate-nitrogen,
soluble reactive phosphorus, and total phosphorus. For safety reasons, two people will be
sent out onto the bog mat for each sampling event; and
• Water samples from underneath the sphagnum mat (Zone C) -The underside of the floating
mat will be located and samples will be collected for the field analysis of pH, conductivity,
and temperature. Samples will be collected for the analysis of nitrate-nitrogen soluble
reactive phosphorus, and total phosphorus.
In addition to collecting the water samples at Zones A and C, surface water samples will be
collected at the perimeter of each bog. The approximate sampling locations are depicted on
Figure 1 and are intended to provide representative samples for the north, south, east, and west
drainage areas of each bog. The perimeter water samples will be analyzed for pH, conductivity,
temperature, nitrate-nitrogen, soluble reactive phosphorus, total phosphorus, and chloride.
Surface water elevations at each of the bogs will be recorded and referenced to the fixed staff
gauges that were installed at each bog during the 1994 monitoring activities. Surface water
elevations will be recorded and monitored to detect significant changes in water elevations.
Vegetation Transect Monitoring
Summit will complete a follow-up vegetation survey to the first survey reported by the St. Paul
District -Corps of Engineers, 1992, and the survey completed by Summit in 1994. The primary
goal of the vegetative surveys is to provide data to document the current plant species present in
the bog wetland basins and allow for future assessments that may indicate potential changes in
the watershed or impacts to the plant communities resulting from construction and hmd use
changes.
Bog wetland basins Y, F, and 0 contain permanent marker stakes that were installed into the bog
mats during the 1994 vegetative survey activities. Five transects are staked in bog Y, three
Ms. Leslie Stovring
Bog Monitoring Program -1997
July 23, 1997
Page 3
transects are staked in Bog F, and four transects are staked in bog 0 (Figure 3). The current
vegetation monitoring portion of the Bog Monitoring Program includes monitoring of three strata
or layers of vegetation including surface, herbaceou~, and tree/shrub. Generation of 'the survey
transects was completed using a random selection process outlined in Summit's 1994 Annual
Bog Monitoring Program report (February 20, 1995).
The vegetative survey will utilize a multiple assessment methodology consisting of the line-
intercept method for tree and shrub vegetation and one-meter square plots for surface vegetation.
Field forms used for documentation are included in the appendix. Plant species will be identified
in the field with the aid of manuals and keys, when practical. Species that are not easily
identified will be labeled, placed in sealed bags, and identified with reference species on file at
the University of Minnesota Herbarium.
FIELD METHODS
Collection of Surface Water Samples
Samples will be collected by submerging a laboratory pre-cleaned bottle to the bottom of the
hole, opening the cap, inverting the sample bottle and allowing the sample bottle to fill, and
capping the bottle at the surface. The sample bottle will be sealed and labeled for transport and
analysis.
Collection o( Subsurface Water Samples
Subsurface water samples will be collected by driving a well screen into the bog mat hole left by
previous site sampling. The screen is driven to the sediment/water interface and allowed to
equilibrate after purging an approximate volume of two to five liters of water. Samples will be
collected for chemical analysis by pouring the water sample into a laboratory cleaned sample
container which is sealed and labeled for transport and analysis.
Analytical Method (Nitrate-Nitrogen)
Nitrate'-nitrogen is analyzed using a Hach Model 43800-00 voltmeter equipped with a Model
44430 nitrate-ion selective electrode. The electrode is calibrated with certified nitrate standards
of 10 and 100 milligrams per liter (parts per million) daily.
Ms. Leslie Stovring
Bog Monitoring Program -1997
July 23, 1997
Page 4
Analytical Method (Soluble Reactive Phosphorus)
Soluble reactive phosphorus (orthophosphate) is analyzed using a modified EPA method
(ascorbic acid method). Results are reported as milligrams per liter (parts per million)
orthophosphorus (P04). Approximately 20 percent blank samples and certified standard
solutions are analyzed for quality assurance/quality control.
Analytical Method (Hydrogen Ion:" pH)
Hydrogen ion -pH will be measured in the field using a Hach Model 43800-00 voltmeter
equipped with a combination pH electrode. The electrode is calibrated with certified buffer
solutions of 4.00 and 7.00 standard units daily.
Analytical'Method (Specific Conductance)
Specific conductance will be measured using EPA Method 120.1 The instrument and electrode
will be calibrated with certified NIST potassium chloride standards daily.
Sample Documentation
Sample documentation and sampling information records will be kept for the samples collected
and analyzed. Field information is recorded in a field notebook that is maintained for the project.
The sampling documentation will be kept in the field file and transferred to the Summit project
manager for inclusion in the project file.
COST ESTIMATE AND SCHEDULE
The following cost estimate is based on field analysis of water samples in bogs Y, F, and 0 at
locations consistent with the 1994 Baseline Monitoring Program. The scope of work listed in
this proposal will be performed in accordance with the following cost estimate and attached
General Conditions that are considered to be a part of this proposal.

dismissed, dropped, or for which judgment is rendered for Summit, Client
will pay Summit for all costs of defense, including attorney fees, expert
witness fees and court costs.
SECTION 7: STANDARD OF CARE
7.1 Because no sampling program can prove the non-existence or non-
presence of contaminated conditions or materials throughout the "entire"
site or facility, Summit cannot warrant, represent, guarantee, or certify
the non-existence or non-presence, or the extent of existence or presence,
of contaminated conditions or materials, and Client's obligations under
this agreement will not be contingent upon Summit' delivery of any
warranties, representations, guarantees, or certifications.

Limitations of Environmental Assessments and no warranties,
representations, guarantees, or certifications will be made.
7.3 Although data obtained from general observations or discrete
sample locations will be used to infer conditions between overall areas or
sample locations, no guarantee may be given that the inferred conditions
exist because plant, animal, soil, surface, and groundwater quality
conditions between general observations or sample locations may vary
significantly, and because conditions at the time of general observations
or sample collection may also vary significantly with respect to plant,
animal, soil, surface, and groundwater quality at any other given time and
for other reasons beyond Summit' control.
7.4 Summit will not be responsible or liable for the interpretation of its
data or report by others.
7.5 Summit will not be responsible or liable for the exclusion of any
threatened, endangered or sensitive plants as identified by state or federal
authorities in or adjacent to the site or right-of-way as reported in survey
results and mitigation plans. Summit and Client acknowledge that the
taxonomic characteristics inherent in a particular species are usually
identifiable only during the reproductive cycle. Surveys conducted before
or after that time may be insufficient to identify flora to the level required
by certain regulatory agencies.
7.6 Summit will not be responsible or liable for the exclusion of any
threatened or endangered animal as identified by state or federal
authorities in or adjacent to the site or right-of-way as reported in survey
results and mitigation plans. Summit and Client acknowledge the
transitory behavior of animals and birds which precludes an absolute
population count of and identification of species inhabitation on or
adjacent to the site or right-of-way during any time of the year.
SECTIONS: LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND
INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 Client agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by state law, to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Summit from and against any and

utilities, whether caused by an act or omission of Summit or Client.
8.2 Summit's liability to the Client and all persons. subcontractors or
consultants claiming through the Client for damages, to which the
indemnification set forth above does not apply, is not permitted by state
law, or arises out of the breach of any other obligation to Client or others,
will be limited to an amount not to exceed the fee paid for work
performed under this agreement. Nothing herein will be deemed to be a
waiver of any statutory limitation of liability or any specific liability set
out in this agreement.

9.1 Summit will carry workers compensation insurance and public
liability and property insurance as Summit deems adequate. Certificates
of insurance will be provided to Client upon request. Summit will not be
responsible for liability for items not covered by such policies, or liability
beyond the limits and conditions stated therein.
9.2 Summit will not be responsible for any loss or liability arising
from action or negligence by Client or by other subcontractors or
consultants employed by Client or employed for work on Client's
projects.
SECTION 10: TERMINATION
10.1 The agreement between Summit and Client may be terminated by
either party upon thirty (30) days written notice if there is substantial
failure by the other party to perform. Termination will not be effective if
substantial failure is remedied before expiration of the thirty (30) days.
10.2 If the agreement is terminated prior to completion of report,
Summit may complete analysis, records and work, in order to issue a
progress report on all work performed.
10.3 Upon termination, Summit will be paid for services, plus
termination expenses, which include fees for completing the analysis,
records, work and progress report.

services for a period of at least two (2) years either during or after
completion by Summit of its work, without Summit's express written
consent.
SECTION 12: DELAYS
12.1 If Summit is delayed in performance due to any cause beyond its
reasonable control, including but not limited to strikes, riots, fires, acts of
God, governmental actions, actions of a third party, or actions or
inactions of Client, the time for performance shall be extended by a
period of time lost by reason of the delay. Summit will be entitled to
payment for its reasonable additional charges, if any, due to the delay.
SECTION 13: AMENDMENTS
13.1 This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the
Client and Summit and supersedes any prior written or oral agreements
between them respecting the within subject matter. There are no
representations, agreements, arrangements or understandings, oral or
written, between Client and Summit relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement which are not fully expressed herein.

DEPARTMENT: ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Facilities Management Liquor Store -Change Order #7
Barbara Cross
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of change order #7 which reduces the amount of the contract by
$86.60. The new total for the construction of the liquor store is $1,305,470.51.
BACKGROUND:
Change order #7 covers several cleanup items from the contract. Sprinkler heads along the west
side of the building were being damaged due to delivery trucks rolling over the curb. Truck
drivers are being instructed to use the south entrance when making deliveries, but to alleviate an
ongoing maintenance problem, the irrigation lines were moved away from the back of curb.
A canvas canopy was originally planned to cover the entrance monument. The architect
recommended the canopy be eliminated due to safety concerns over ice and snow accumulation.
One change order is still expected and will include additional storm sewer work and site
restoration related to the Super 8 Hotel.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The money for the additional improvements will be funded with proceeds from the liquor store
operations. The project is still within the anticipated budget amount.

Chris Enger BEST BUY CAMPUS CONCEPT PLAN -1997
Scott A. Kipp
Requested Council Action:
The Staff recommends that the Council take the following action:
1. Close the Public Hearing;
2. Adopt the Resolution for PUD Concept Amendment on 47.45 acres;
3. Direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations (and
Council conditions).
Background:
The Planning Commission has reviewed three revised Concept plans to reduce the amount of alteration to the
existing 7.45 acres of wetlands on site. The original proposal was for development of a future 100,000 square foot
office building, 990 parking spaces, and 4.93 acres of wetland alteration. The plan before the Council shows a
future building of70,000 square feet, and a total of 1.39 acres of wetland alteration. The total number of parking
spaces has been slightly reduced and now include parking under the future building. The tennis court and ball field
have been retained.
Best Buy has received a permit from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers for the original 4.93 acres of proposed
alteration. The Watershed District will be reviewing the proposal in mid-October.
While the traffic analysis provided for this project indicates less trip generation than what would be expected under
the current industrial guiding for the property, there is a growing concern by the City Council about the amount
of traffic being added to an already crowded system.
Best Buy is continuing to explore ways to incorporated TDM efforts to reduce peak hour trip generation. The
following steps are being taken by Best Buy:
• Southwest Metro Transit(SMTC) will be holding a transportation expo at the Best Buy headquarters to
introduce various transportation alternatives.
• A transportation coordinator has been designated within Best Buy to coordinate TDM efforts, including
analyzing their work force's transportation patterns, etc.
• Best Buy will work with SMTC to see if shuttle bus service can be provided directly to the employee entrance.
• Continued efforts will be made to increase car pooling.
• Staggered work hours will be reviewed.
The Council approved the Phase 2 parking area at its September 2nd meeting since it did not affect wetlands or
significant trees.
The proponent will be requesting early issuance of a grading permit for the Phase 3 parking.
I
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval at its September 22, 1997 meeting.

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.

Eden Prairie Planning Commission
August 11, 1997
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 of 9 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.
4
Eden Prairie Planning Commission
August 11, 1997
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: 1 replacement ratio rather than the 2: 1 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
Eden prairie Planning Commission
Auqust 11, 1997
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. Ifthey 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 of things.
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 30'8~htinuance.
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 permit to do surcharging. Clark said it's a possibility.

Continued Public HearinK
A. BEST BUY CAMPUS CONCEPT PLAN -1997 by Best Buy. Request for PUD
Concept Amendment on 47.45 acres. Location: 7575 Flying Cloud Drive.
Dave Clark, architect, representing Best Buy, reviewed the changes made to the
concept plan as a result of direction from the Commission at the last meeting. The
revision to the wetland alteration has been reduced from 4.93 acres to 2.66 acres.
The future building size has been reduced from 100,000 square feet to 90,000 square
feet and the building has gone from a 2-story to a 3-story structure.
He reviewed the different options on the concept plan which staff asked them to look
at and explained why some were not feasible. The recreational area is a corporate
amenity which has an ongoing softball league utilizing the field three or four nights
a week. Best Buy would rather not loose that if at all possible. They are trying to
create a balance where they can maintain the baseball field, fill less wetland, spread
the parking around the site and, if necessary, reduce the potential for the future
building from 100,000 to 90,000 square feet. The use of structured parking was not
economically feasible for Best Buy.
He referred to a letter from the City of Eden Prairie about their review of the wetland
area noting this wetland area has been classified as a Type 4 wetland which has
moderate functional value due to diversity of vegetation. The Type 2 wetland is low
functional due to a combination of canary grass; however, vegetation diversity was
located. Not to contradict the City consultant, but this particular wetland has no
through water and is not part of an established Watershed area. The only water that
exists on the site is what falls on the site from precipitation.
They were asked to look at parking stall size of 8'6" as opposed to 9' stalls which
would save about 80 cars of parking on the site. However, staff was reluctant to do
this because there has not been a case in Eden Prairie where 8'6" stalls have actually
been constructed. The mall has 8'6" stalls on its documents as proof-of-parking but
they're actually striped at 9'. They are following staffs recommendation of9' stalls.
There has also been discussion with Southwest Metro Transit and the I-494 Corridor
Commission about looking at ways to reduce the number of cars actually driving to
the site. Best Buy has been encouraged to be more progressive in those ways. They
have designated someone on staff to be a coordinator with Southwest Metro Transit
looking at options of ride share and car pooling. There is also talk about doing a full
analysis of the employees as to their home location and the routes they would take so
3

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES

they can try to determine if there is a ride share possibility that people just don't
realize exists.
Kipp said based on the staff recommendations at the last meeting, the Planning
Commission continued the project asking for Best Buy to look at alternative ways to
reducing the wetland alteration which included developing all available upland areas.
A majority of the Commissioners were concerned with the issue of wetland impacts
versus maintaining the ballfield. There were some comments as to what would be
considered an appropriate amount of alteration and the statement made was roughly
2 to 2.5 acres.
Staffhas met with Best Buy a couple of times and have reviewed the plan based on
the reduction of wetland encroachment to 2.66 acres, building size down to 90,000
square feet from 100,000 square feet, raising the building height from 2-story to 3-
story, and providing underground parking on the future building site. The baseball
field and tennis court still remains. Best Buy feels that the use of structured parking
was not feasible with this proposal. By leaving the baseball field and other
developable areas in exchange for the number of wetland fill, staff believed this was
not creating a proper solution. There are ways wetland encroachment can still be
further reduced while providing additional parking on site and maintaining existing
green space on site.
He referred the Commission to the graphic attached to the staff report which showed
how the baseball field could be maintained, providing parking within the tennis court
area and some additional parking on the future building pad site. In addition, this
would reduce the total wetland encroachment including NURP ponds to 1.4 acres.
Staff feels this would be a fair compromise in terms of judging the qualities of the
wetland and the laws about trying to preserve the wetland areas. If the Planning
Commission is comfortable with Best Buy's revised plan, then the option would be
to recommend approval. If the Planning Commission feels further revisions should
take place to reduce the wetland encroachment, option #2 would be to recommend
continuance of this item for Best Buy to continue to reduce wetland encroachment
including development of additional upland areas. Staff recommended option #2.
The public hearing was opened.
Wissner asked why the proposed number of parking stalls is so much greater than
what's required by Code. Clark said the Code is four spaces per thousand for a
building of that size. Best Buy currently has 1,300 employees in the building which
equates to about 175 square feet per person per vehicle as opposed to 250 square feet
that the Code recommends. Based on their experience, they can not build a building

September 8, 1997
right now without at least five cars per thousand in office space. The four per
thousand may be adequate in small professional buildings but not for a single user like
Best Buy.
Habicht commented at the last meeting Best Buy addressed some concerns about the
timing issue and he asked where they are at this point. Clark said the problem is if
they are to get approval to do the wetland alteration this fall, the fill must be brought
in to surcharge that site. The site must be surcharged for six months to create usable
base for the parking lot. They would have to bring in excess materials to place on the
site for the winter so they can build next spring. Eden Prairie has an ordinance that
does not allow the site to be opened for borrow of dirt past October 15. If this was
continued for two weeks and they get on the City Council agenda immediately, not
next month, they would still have the October 7 date to work with.
Foote asked if Best Buy has seen attachment A of the latest Staff Report. Clark
replied staff faxed it to him on Friday afternoon. Staff proposed eliminating the
roadway they have crossing the wetland area. It's important to Best Buy to segregate
truck traffic to the loading dock area away from the main entrance because there
would be many people walking with their backs to the incoming traffic up that
driveway. It's not a good idea to bring semi-trailers in through the middle of the
parking lot with 1100 people walking through the front.
Ismail commented he was comfortable with the project and for the sake of timing,
recommended they go forward with it.
Habicht commented it's important to provide Best Buy with some direction because
of the timing factor. He was comfortable with the project because Best Buy has
continued along the lines of minimizing the wetland impact. He also agreed that
having truck access on the north side was important as not to have trucks driving
where pedestrians are walking.
Sandstad said he did not have a chance to look at the property but commented the
wetland alteration was not enough. He appreciated Best Buy moving in the right
direction but believed they could do a better job to reduce the wetland impact.
Foote agreed with Sandstad and apologized to Best Buy in advance for this delay.
He was not comfortable with the wetland fill and believed they could reduce the
wetland fill even further. He did support the 8'6" parking stalls for the fact that it may
deter people from driving to work. He found it very difficult to fill wetlands for
parking and encouraged Best Buy to work with staff and see what they can do to
decrease the wetland alteration.

Kipp explained at the last meeting Best Buy was prepared to present a plan that
reduced wetland alteration down to 2.66 acres. Discussion did take place on that but
because of a failure on the part of the delivering of the packet, the Commission could
not take action and felt they needed a continuance so the project could be further
reviewed. At that time, staff recommended additional wetland reduction to take
place. Since that meeting, Best Buy has revised the plans again.
Dave Clark, architect, reviewed the changes made to the concept plan and the wetland
mitigation plan. The wetland alteration has been reduced down to 1.4 acres. A
secondary roadway was proposed to handle the truck traffic and to keep it away from
the parking lot area as not to interfere with pedestrians walking. This roadway will
also enable the neighbors adjoining the site a simple route with no conflicts. A
wetlands and landscape consultant has been consulted to enhance the plantings in the
wetland areas and encroachment areas. They are cooperating with City staff to revise
the landscape plan to put in things that are more suitable to the natural wetland
environment. Best Buy has met with Southwest Metro Transit to create a traffic
management plan and a traffic coordinator has been appointed to work with
Southwest Metro to work on that plan.
Debra Brodsho of Brodsho Consulting, wetlands consultant, reviewed the plan
created to enhance the natural plantings in the wetlands area. There will also be a
teaching environment created around the remaining wetlands. This effort will include
trails and educational kiosks around the wetlands, and reinforcement, through
plantings, of the various wetland zones that exist around the site. There are a lot of
future opportunities available there such as a gazebo or a deck.
Clark said they are still mitigating at 4: 1 ratio as opposed to 2: 1 and have been
approved by DNR and the Corp. of Engineers. Best Buy feels the green space and
the ballfie1ds are important to the company in that location. They would downsize the
future building size on the site first and keep that area open.
Ismail was concerned about the off site mitigation in Winthrop. Clark said Winthrop
was about 70 miles west and explained why it was not feasible doing it on site. If they
attempt to do on site mitigation in an area that doesn't have sufficient water flow
through it, it will not have sufficient growth. The wetland provided in Winthrop has
to be inspected and approved by the government agencies for the next three years.

Planning Commission Minutes
September 22, 1997
Kipp indicated the September 5 staff report recommended that the wetland alteration
be reduced from 2.66 acres to 1.4 acres. One option to achieve this included using
the tennis court and some additional upland areas for parking. Best Buy has chosen
to reduce the building square footage rather than upset the ballfields and other
recreational areas on the property. Plans have been provided to reduce the wetland
alteration from 2.6 acres to 1.39 acres. The future building size has been reduced by
an additional 20,000 square feet from 90,000 to 70,000 square feet. The overall
parking has been reduced from 2,313 spaced to 2,064 spaces. One NURP pond has
been removed from the wetland. Staff recommended approval of the plan.
Clinton was concerned about the impact of the traffic. Kipp said the original staff
report had a traffic analysis which determined this proposal would be generating less
trips than it would with industrial land use. Therefore, it is meeting what the City has
already established or set aside for that site for traffic generation. He added that Best
Buy is pursuing Traffic Demand Management opportunities to help reduce peak hour
traffic impacts.
The public hearing was opened.
Wissner commented Best Buy has shown a good example of corporate citizenship.
The project looks very nice and will be good for the community. She supported the
project.
MOTION 1: Wissner moved, seconded by Alexander, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 6-0.
MOTION 2: Wissner moved, seconded by Alexander, to recommend to the City
Council approval of the request of Best Buy for PUD Concept Amendment on 47.45

David Clark, Architect, reviewed the plans for the Best Buy Concept Plan, and
noted they have added 600 employees since 1994 and thus far have expanded
within the existing building. He described the site and the possible areas for
expansion. He discussed the areas which will be used to satisfy the parking
requirements, and noted they will not impact any wetlands with the installation
of this parking. He discussed the drainage and ponding on the site and the
existing wetland, noting it is isolated and the development around this wetland is

continuous. The future development will be along the north edge of the
property, which is the only area where the building could be located because of
existing soil conditions and existing wetlands. They met with the 1-494
Commission to see if there were ways they could get employees to carpool but
he did not know if they would be successful in thi~ effort.
Tyra-Lukens noted that traffic was becoming a large concern in this area and
asked if they were doing anything with staggered shifts, etc. to facilitate
decreasing the levels of traffic during peak periods. Clark responded that they
have a voluntary type of staggered system but it is not a formalized schedule.
Tyra-Lukens asked about the areas of the site which were not suitable for
building and inquired if they would be suitable for parking ramps. Clark
responded that they are looking at this but parking ramps are very expensive and
difficult to justify .
Butcher-Y ounghans noted she was also concerned about the extent of the
parking area on the site and asked about underground parking to decrease some
of the hard surface coverage on the site. Clark responded that they have agreed
to use underground parking at least under the building. The Planning
Commission requested they look at this as a possibility of reducing the parking
area on the site. Butcher-Younghans asked if the ball fields could be
repositioned to go behind the parking area which could be located where the ball
fields are now located. Clark responded that they had talked to their people
about this but they don't want to move the ball fields. If they leave the ball
fields where they are presently located it would make a better plan for the site
overall. Butcher-Younghans encouraged them to continue with their car pooling
efforts with their employees to decrease traffic and parking on the site. Clark
commented they are working towards this and are trying to get a transit stop at
their door which will facilitate more employees using the transit system to get to
work.
Case requested clarification on where the wetlands were and Clark explained the
location of the wetlands and how they would be impacted. Case asked how
much of the wetland would be impacted by the alteration and Clark responded
that it would impact five acres .. They will replant the disturbed areas with
natural grasses and vegetation so that the area will blend in with the existing
areas.
Tyra-Lukens asked about the 8.5' or 9' parking stall size and if they used
smaller stalls if it would reduce the impact on the wetlands. Clark responded
that City Staff has been reluctant to set a precedent by allowing the smaller stalls
but they would be amendable to that, should staff concur.
Case stated he was concerned that the water from the NURP pond was being
released into the stream and not back into the wetlands. Clark stated that they
will hold the water in the wetlands until it is of such quality that it will not
I~
CITY COUNCIL MINUT.I!J-S

adversely impact the stream, and only then will it be released from the wetland.
Enger reviewed the staff report and noted the official notice of this Public
Hearing was published on August 21, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News and
mailed to 14 property owners within the affected area. On August 11, 1997,
the Planning Commission reviewed this request and has recommended approval
of the Phase 2 parking expansion. The overall PUD Concept Approval for
expansion of the Best Buy campus will be further reviewed by the Planning
Commission at its September 8 meeting, and the City Council will be reviewing
the plan on October 7. The proponent will be requesting early issuance of a
grading permit for Phase 2 parking so construction can begin prior to the winter
season. The Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission did not
review the Phase 2 portion of the project since it does not affect trees nor the
wetland.
The Public Hearing was opened.
No one present wished to speak.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Thorfinnson to closed the Public Hearing.
Motion carried 5-0.
Mayor Harris noted that the Planning Commission has continued the Concept
Plan in order to consider alternatives and the application for the rezoning was
part of that request. Tyra-Lukens inquired how many parking stalls they would
save if they used the smaller parking stall size and Enger responded that people
do not see the lines for the parking stalls during the winter months and park
where they feel comfortable. Staff has believed that if a smaller stall size is
utilized there must be some type of year-round stall delineation such as that
utilized at the Crosstown Athletic Club.
Discussion ensued regarding the wetland area being impacted by the project and
the importance of preserving the existing wetlands within the community.
Harris stated she was interested in preserving the green space along Flying
Cloud Drive which mitigates the swath of concrete and asphalt. Thorfmnson
asked about the number of employees on the site presently and how many more
would be there in the future. Clark responded that they have converted the site
entirely to office usage, and they expect to have about 1,100 more employees on
the site. Thorfmnson stated he was concerned about the traffic and the need for
parking and encouraged the proponent to address this issue and promote some
sort of traffic management plan by staggering shifts, encouraging car pooling
and using transit which would decrease the need for that much parking on the
site.
Discussion ensued regarding ways the parking on the site could be reduced.
Harris noted that we need to have a regional transportation plan, and at this

point can only encourage businesses to look at ways to reduce parking. The
City Council needs to facilitate this goal and do all we can to assist the
Community in achieving it. The Planning Commission has reserved the right to
study this situation further.

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 ofthe 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 of3.5 acres for Phase 2
parking (359 ofthe 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 of7.45 acres of the 18.6 acre site is in wetland. The concept proposal will impact 4.93
acres ofthe 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 of47.45 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 of a 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 of 2, 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 o:wetland alteration proposed with this concept is for added surface parking and
NURP ponding. Best Buy indicates that a pennit will be issued shortly by the U.S. Anny 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% pennitted 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
22-
Staff Report
Best Buy Concept Plan -1997
August 8,1997
and to obtain permission 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 of the 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 of3,014 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 stonn 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
Staff Report
Best Buy Concept Plan -1997
August 8,1997
(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./586 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 ofthe 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.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I. Ifthe Planning Commission believes that compelling reasons have been made for the
amount of wetland alteration, then one option is to recommend approval of the PUD

B. Eliminate, or relocated out ofthe wetland, the drive lane connecting the
proposed parking lot to the existing parking area to the south.
2. Prior to final plat approval, the proponent shall:
A. Submit detailed storm water runoff, utility and erosion control plans for
review by the City Engineer and Watershed District.
B. Vacate that portion of West 70th Street that traverses the property.
3. Prior to grading permit issuance for the Phase 2 parking and Phase 3 parking area
surcharging, the proponent shall:
A. Provide a permit from the Watershed District for the alteration of the
wetland.
B. Provide a landscaping surety according to City Code.
4. Prior to building permit issuance, the proponent shall submit detailed plans for
review and approval by the Planning Commission, Parks, Recreation, and Natural
Resources Commission, and City Council for the rezoning of the property in
accordance with the requirements ofthe City Code.
5. The following waiver is granted through the PUD district review for the property:
A. Front yard parking setback ranging from 49 feet to 40 feet. City Code
requires 50 feet in the 1-2 zoning district.
II. If the Planning Commission believes that compelling reasons have not been made for the
amount of wetland alteration, that the environmental impacts of the development on the
Staff Report

sites natural features are high, then the alternative would be to recommend a continuance
to explore options to minimize the amount of wetland alteration as follows:
1. Developing all non-wooded upland areas first. This option would maximize the
surface parking areas on the upland land west ofthe proposed building footprint,
and could include the existing tennis court and ball field.
2. Minimizing the proposed building footprint by increasing building height or
reducing total building square footage.
3. Constructing structured parking for a portion of the development.

Staff Report
Best Buy Campus Concept -1997
September 5, 1997
BACKGROUND
At its August 11, 1997 meeting the Planning Commission continued action on the PUD Concept
so Best Buy could evaluate options to reduce the amount of wetland alteration based on the
recommendations of the August 8, 1997 Staff Report. The preliminary plat, site plan review and
rezoning request for the Phase 2 parking, which does not impact any wetlands or significant trees
was recommended for City Council approval.
The City Council approved the Phase 2 parking portion of the project at its September 2, 1997
meeting. However, the Council did have concern regarding the amount of wetland alteration in
the concept plan, and also suggested that Best Buy work toward a greater emphasis on Traffic
Demand Management (TDM).
The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers has recently issued a permit to alter 5 acres of wetlands for the
project based on the original concept.
REVISED PUD CONCEPT
The concept plan has been revised in the following areas:
1. Wetland altenition has been reduced from 4.93 acres(66%) to 2.66 acres(36%).
2. Future building size has been reduced from 100,000 sq. ft. to 90,000 sq. ft., and has gone
from a 2-story to a 3-story structure.
3. Underground parking is included with the future building.
4. A total of2,3l4 parking spaces are provided for the entire site.
Because of Best Buy's strongly feeling for protecting an employee asset, the ball field has been
retained in the revised plan.
The use of structured parking was reviewed by the proponent, but was determined not to be a
viable option.
WETLAND ALTERATION
While the revised concept plan has reduced the amount of wetland alteration from 4.93 acres to
2.66 acres, it remains the largest wetland alteration reviewed to date.
One of the recommended options in the August 11, 1997 staff report was to develop all non-
wooded upland areas first. The plan now shows surface and underground parking on the building
pad site which has helped in the reduction of wetland alteration. However, the ball field and
2

tennis court areas are being retained. If these areas were to be placed in parking, approximately
260 spaces (80 at tennis court, and 180 at ball field) would result. This would eliminate any
wetland alteration other than a reduced NURP ponding area.
In July of this year Best Buy received City Council approval to add parking to their existing
building site, which included the elimination of the tennis court area. If the tennis court and
adjacent open area to the north were to be placed in parking, wetland fill could be greatly
reduced.
Best Buy's proposed parking spaces are based on a greater ratio than required by City Code.
Their plan provides 2,314 spaces, or 6 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building, while City Code
would require 1,510 spaces based on 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building.
The decision on how to balance wetland alteration for parking and the desire for the proponent to
maintain private recreational facilities should be based on the overall benefits the City:
1. The private recreational facilities provide open space to the overall site, but an equal
amount of wetland area is lost.
2. Parking provided at a greater ratio than required by code can be handled by available
upland areas, or by the use of structured parking rather than wetland areas.
3. The larger the wetland area, the greater stonn water holding capability. This helps
preserve down stream capacity.
By pennitting a limited amount of wetland fill (.5 to .75 acres) to "square off" the parking area
adjacent to the wetland boundary, while still maintaining the NURP ponds in the wetland, and
providing parking in the tennis court area may be an acceptable solution. This would greatly
reduce wetland alteration, and provide for a majority of on-site mitigation.(see attachment A).
Staff would recommend this as one alternative approach to reducing the wetland alteration.
TRAFFIC
While the traffic analysis provided for this project indicates less trip generation than what would
be expected under the current industrial guiding for the property, there is a growing concern by
the City Council about the amount oftraffic being added to an already crowded system.
Traffic Demand Management (TDM) is a tool that can have a positive result in reducing the
impacts associated with peak hour capacity problems. Best Buy currently encourages some forms
ofTDM through the use of preferential parking and financial rewards in the fonn of merchandise

discounts for car pools. They have met with Southwest Metro Transit to provide bus route
information to their employees. These efforts are commendable and should continue to be
expanded.
Some ways in which TDM can have the greatest impact on reducing peak hour capacity problems
include the following:
• Staggered work hours, or flex time.
• Car pools and Van pools, including working with other corporations.
• Telecommuting
• Establishing a TDM coordinator
• Park and Ride lots
• Transit services
The 1-494 Corridor Commission would welcome the opportunity to work with any business to
help implement TDM programs. We encourage Best Buy to continue to implement additional
strategies to further their TDM efforts.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I. If the Planning Commission believes that compelling reasons have been made for the
amount of wetland alteration proposed, then one option would be to recommend approval
ofthe PUD Concept Amendment on 47.45 acres, based on plans dated September 3,
1997, this Staff Report, and the following:
1. Prior to City Council review, the proponent shall:
A. Provide permits from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers for the alteration of
the wetland.
2. Prior to final plat approval, the proponent shall:
A. Submit detailed storm water runoff, utility and erosion control plans for
review by the City Engineer and Watershed District.
B. Vacate that portion of West 70th Street that traverses the property.
3. Prior to grading permit issuance for the Phase 2 parking and any Phase 3 parking
area surcharging, the proponent shall:
4
Staff Report
Best Buy Campus Concept -1997
September 5, 1997
A. Provide a permit from the Watershed District for the alteration of the
wetland.
B. Provide a landscaping surety according to City Code.
4. Prior to building permit issuance, the proponent shall submit detailed plans for
review and approval by the Planning Commission, Parks, Recreation, and Natural
Resources Commission, and City Council for the rezoning of the property in
accordance with the requirements of the City Code.
5. The following waiver is granted through the PUD district review for the property:
A. Front yard parking setback ranging from 49 feet to 40 feet. City Code
requires 50 feet in the 1-2 zoning district.
II. If the Planning Commission believes that compelling reasons have not been made for the
amount of wetland alteration, that the environmental impacts ofthe development on the
sites natural features are high, then the alternative would be to recommend a continuance
to revise the plans based on the recommendations of the September 5, 1997 staff report as
one alternative option to minimize the amount of wetland alteration.
The staff recommends alternative II.

Staff Report
Best Buy Campus Concept -1997
September 19,1997
BACKGROUND
At its August 11, 1997 meeting the Planning Commission continued action on the PUD Concept
so Best Buy could evaluate options to reduce the 4.93 acres of proposed wetland alteration based
on the recommendations of the August 8, 1997 Staff Report. The prelirninaryplat, site plan
review and rezoning request for the Phase 2 parking, which did not impact any wetlands or
significant trees was recommended for City Council approval. At the September 8, 1997 meeting,
the Planning Commission reviewed a revised plan for 2.66 acres of wetland alteration, but had to
continue discussion on the project to September 22 due to a late delivery of the commission
packet.
The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers has issued a permit to alter 5 acres of wetlands for the project
based on the original concept.
REVISED PUD CONCEPT
Since the last meeting, the proponent has made additional reductions to the amount of wetland
alteration proposed. The September 5 staff report recommended that the wetland alteration be
reduced from 2.66 acres to approximately 1.4 acres. One option to achieve this included using
the tennis court area and some additional upland areas for parking.
The concept plan has been revised in the following areas:
1. Wetland alteration has been reduced from 2.66 acres(36%) to 1.39 acres(18%).
2. Future building size has been reduced from 90,000 sq. ft. to 70,000 sq. ft.
3. Parking has been reduced from 2,314 spaces to 2,064 spaces for the entire site.
4. One ofthe NURP ponds has been removed from within the wetland.
Because of Best Buy's strong feeling for protecting an employee asset, the ball field and tennis
court has been retained in the revised plan.
Best Buy has been working with a wetlands consultant to create a plan which will enhance the
natural plantings and create a teaching environment around the remaining wetlands. This effort
will include trails and educational kiosks around the wetlands, and reinforcement, through
plantings, of the various wetland zones that exist around the site.
TRAFFIC DEMAND MANAGEMENT(TDM)
While the traffic analysis provided for this project indicates less trip generation than what would
be expected under the current industrial guiding for the property, there is a growing concern by
2

September 19, 1997
the City Council about the amount of traffic being added to an already crowded system.
Best Buy is continuing to explore ways to incorporated TDM efforts to reduce peak hour trip
generation. The following steps are being taken by Best Buy:
• Southwest Metro Transit(SMTC) will be holding a transportation expo at the Best Buy
headquarters to introduce various transportation alternatives.
• A transportation coordinator has been designated within Best Buy to coordinate TDM
efforts, including analyzing their work force's transportation patterns, etc.
• Best Buy will work with SMTC to see if shuttle bus service can be provided directly to the
employee entrance.
• Continued efforts will be made to increase car pooling.
• Staggered work hours will be reviewed.
Staff encourages Best Buy to continue to implement these strategies to further TDM efforts.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends approval of the PUD Concept Amendment on 47.45 acres, based on plans
dated September 18, 1997, this Staff Report, and the following:
1. Prior to City Council review, the proponent shall:
A. Provide permits from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers for the alteration of
the wetland.
2. Prior to final plat approval, the proponent shall:
A. Submit detailed storm water runoff, utility and erosion control plans for
review by the City Engineer and Watershed District.
B. Vacate that portion of West 70th Street that traverses the property.
3. Prior to grading permit issuance for the Phase 3 parking area surcharging, the
proponent shall:
A. Provide a permit from the Watershed District for the alteration of the
wetland.
B. Provide a landscaping surety according to City Code.

Supplemental Staff Report to the Community Development Staff Reports of
August 8, September 5 and September 19, 1997 for Best Buy Concept Plan -
1997
The proposed plan is to expand the campus for the Best Buy Corporate Headquarters located on
Flying Drive. The proposed concept plan includes expansion the parking areas, as well as a future
building site. The project being reviewed is seeking a PUD Concept Amendment on a total of 47.45
acres.
The project went before the Planning Commission on three occasions regarding this concept plan.
There are three staff reports covering the various changes that have been proposed over that period
of time. The natural resource issues involved in this plan are detailed in the following paragraphs.
NATURAL RESOURCE ISSUES:
Tree Loss -Landscape Plan
The tree inventory for this site has a total of 3,014 diameter inches of trees on the entire site. The
concept plan shows the removal of 21 trees with a total of 372 diameter inches. This represents a
12% loss of significant trees as per City Code. The tree replacement required is a total of l37 caliper
inches of landscape material.
The trees on the site are primarily cottonwood, ash, and oak. There are also clusters of boxelder and
willow. The tree replacement plan for landscaping the site following grading includes planting a
variety of maples, birch, ash, oak, willow, popular, and aspen. These trees would fit very nicely into
the natural character of the site. In addition, parking lot screening would be accomplished utilizing
coniferous materials, including balsam fir, Black Hills spruce, Austrian and Scotch pine.
40
The site has 7.45 acres of wetland and the majority of that wetland is scheduled for preservation. The
proposed plan includes utilization of trails and educational kiosks to highlight this natural resource
area of the site.
NURPPond
A NURP pond is scheduled to be constructed with phase II parking, which was not reviewed the
Commission because it did not impact any natural resource areas. A second pond would be
constructed north of the phase III parking to collect parking lot runoff and pretreat it prior to
discharge.
Both of these NURP ponds require review for storm water calculations and acceptance by the City
Engineering staff prior to construction.
Wetland Alteration
The proposed concept plan indicates that 1.39 acres of wetland will be impacted by development.
This amount of wetland has been significantly reduced from the first plan that the staff reviewed in
June. The staff is comfortable with the amount of wetland that is being impacted by this project. The
Watershed District and the u.s. Army Corp of Engineers have reviewed this project and are
currently in the process of commenting on the wetland impact.
Sidewalk and Trails
The current Best Buy Campus site has an exterior loop trail system. With the proposed additional
phasing, trails would be built to enable employees to access the Corporate Headquarter building from
the parking lots.
Most of this initial trail system was constructed as part of the City's pedestrian transportation plan,
which indicates a proposed trail along Flying Cloud Drive. The trail does appear to enter part of the
City's right-of-way along Flying Cloud Drive and would require City approval if it is constructed
within the right-of-way.
RECOMMENDATION:
This project was reviewed by the Planning Commission and received approval at the September 22,
1997 Commission meeting on a 6-0 vote. Staff recommends this project be approved with the
recommendations covered in the three Community Development staff reports and the information
contained in this supplemental report.

BACKGROUND
The site is currently guided low density residential and open space. Surrounding land is guided
low density residential and open space. The site is currently zoned rural. Surrounding land is
zoned rural and Rl-13.5.
SITE PLAN RESIDENTIAL
The site plan shows the subdivision of9.8 acres into 15 lots at a gross density of 1.53 units per
acre. The net density, exclusive of Outlot A, 2.42 units per acre.
The following table presents a comparison of this project to the other projects that have been
approved along Sunnybrook Road:
Project ~ Units Gross Net Ave. FIDod~lain

Purgatory Acres 3.5 7 2.02 2.27 17,854 0
All of the lots meet the lot size and lot frontage requirements ofthe Rl-13.5 zoning district.
SHORELAND ORDINANCE
The shore1and area is defined as land within 300 feet of the bank of the channel of Purgatory
Creek. The shore land area affects the proposed lots abutting the creek. All of these lots meet the
13,500 sq. ft. minimum lot size and 120 foot lot width requirement of the ordinance. In addition,
all lots meet the required 100 foot setback from the Creek.
No alteration is proposed within the 50 foot shore impact zone.
PURGATORY CREEK MASTER PLAN
The 1975 Purgatory Creek Master Plan recommended a conservation and transition area along
the entire length of Purgatory creek. The conservation area is a "no build zone" and the transition
2
Staff Report
Villas at Purgatory Acres

area is a "build with care" zone. The City and land owners have cooperated over the years to
follow the intent and purpose ofthe plan, and with a few and minor exceptions has kept grading
and development out of the conservation zone. Grading and building has been permitted if there
is a no net loss of conservation area, or if land is dedicated to the City. The Purgatory Creek
Estates project to the east had the rear portions of three lots in the conservation area and
dedicated 2 acres to the City as a trade. The dedication of the 2.71 acre Outlot A can be
considered a tradeoff for the rear portion oflots 3,4, 7 and 8 in the conservation area. No
alteration is proposed within the conservation area.
GRADING AND TREE LOSS
A total of 1,500 cu. yds. offill is proposed within the flood plain. The Watershed District will
approve fill if it does not impede the flow of water. Based on the Watershed District criteria, a
total of3,520 cu. yds. offill could be permitted for this project. The City has approved flood
plain fill in limited amounts. A total of 1,560 cu. yds. offill was approved for the Purgatory
Creek Estates project east of this site. The amount of fill proposed is consistent with the amount
of fill previously approved.
The existing wetland area has been delineated for the site. The proposal will not impact any
wetland areas.
Staff recommends that a scenic and conservation easement be located over all wetland and
remaining flood plain areas of the property.
There are 753 caliper inches of significant trees on the property. Tree loss is calculated at 33.8%
or 255 caliper inches. This compares to the average tree loss of30% for residential projects.
Tree replacement required is 115 caliper inches. A tree replacement plan for 115 caliper inches is
proposed.
UTILITIES AND DRAINAGE
Sewer and water is available in Sunnybrook Road. A NURP pond is shown on the plan and is
outside of the shore impact zone to Purgatory Creek.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff would recommend approval of the Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-13.5, and
Preliminary Plat, based on plans dated September 2, 1997 and subject to the recommendations of
the staff report dated September 5, 1997 , and subject to the following conditions:

B. VILLAS AT PURGATORY CREEK by Hartford Capital. Request for Rezoning
from Rural to Rl-13.5 on 9.8 acres and Preliminary Plat of9.8 acres into 15 lots.
Location: Sunnybrook Road.
Bill Griffith, 1500 Norwest Financial Center, representing Hartford Capital
Corporation, reviewed the site plan and grading plan for this proposal noting it is
consistent with what's been approved in the area. They proposed a conservation
easement to cover all the wetland areas and all the significant environmental features.
The developer has proposed to make a voluntary dedication of outlot A which is 2.7
acres. This would retain all the significant features including Purgatory Creek and the
green space would be covered under the conservation easement. There is a shore land
setback of 100 feet from the top of the creek bed and also a 50 foot shore impact
zone from the top of the creek where no development can occur. The storm water
holding pond and water quality pond was moved and modified in discussion with staff
to insure it was completely out of the shore impact zone.
The project contains 15 single family home sites on 9.8 acres ofland. The home sites
are a minimum of 13,500 square feet oflot size with an average closer to 18,000
square feet. The project was designed to be built without variances. The land use is
for low density residential and that would be unchanged. This allows for up to density
of 2.5 units per acre and this project is at 1.53 units per acre. Tree loss is at 33.8
percent which is average for single family developments. He reviewed comparison
charts of this project with other projects in the area noting the overall project was
consistent with what's already been approved in the area.
Trip generation will result in 140 to 150 trips per day and the roadway system in place .
can handle that. There is a 100 foot setback to the south of the project which is an
important environmental feature and will not be disturbed. It serves as a dual
purpose. It protects the water quality of the creek by creating a large natural barrier
and it also creates a green strip between the creek and the area to the south.
Therefore, all residential areas to the south and future generations will have a
dedicated outlot creating a barrier and buffer to future development.
Kipp reviewed the staff report with the Commission. He noted this project was very
comparable to the other projects that have been approved along Sunnybrook Road.
The project does comply with the shore land ordinance, lot size, setbacks, and shore
land impact zone. They are proposing to dedicate the outlot and provide a
conservation easement over the portion of the sensitive site. They will be conforming
with the Purgatory Creek Conservation area that was established back in 1975. The
dedication of the outlot can be considered a tradeoff for the rear portion of lots 3,4,7,
and 8 in the conservation area. Tree loss is consistent with the projects in the area.

Staff recommended approval.
Sandstad expressed concern about a large maple tree and suggested moving the
roadway to accommodate that tree. Perry Ryan, architect, indicated that would result
in a major modification and explained why it was not feasible.
The public hearing was opened.
Robert Claus, 12491 Sunnybrook Road, noted his home is right in front of lot 2. He
has lived there for over five years and his grandmother lived there for over 20 years.
He was concerned about the area behind this project because there is lots of nature
out there and is a natural pathway for deer, fox and ducks. He suggested eliminating
lot 5, block 1, because then the street could be moved up with the houses and it
would save some of the flood plain fill. He recommended moving the house proposed
behind his home up to the street, making it consistent with the rest of the
development and it would save a lot of trees back there. This would give the homes
bigger lots with better views and increasing the value of the homes. The flood plain
is being needlessly filled in.
He expressed concern if the culvert proposed in the comer of his lot would eliminate
any drainage problems. He knows for a fact that a culvert sometimes freezes up and
the water right now comes to the edge of his property. He was concerned about
snow removal because the proposed driveway is only 8-10 feet away from his lot line.
He has a septic tank in the back and was concerned about problems with the City and
whether he would be responsible to hook up with City utilities. He was also
concerned that the staff report stated the conservation area is a "no build zone" and
the next page said the dedication of the outlot can be considered a tradeoff for the
rear portion of lots 3,4,7, and 8 in the conservation area. Kipp explained the
Purgatory Creek study provided a framework for preserving a corridor along the
creek and to minimize impacts beyond that. It's not a mandated line but a guide to
work from. He added that no structures are proposed within the conservancy area,
only the rear portion of those lots.
Lee Smith, 12500 Sunnybrook Road, commented the back of every lot is in the back
of the flood plain and was opposed to building houses in the flood plain. She was also
concerned about the culvert working effectively to eliminate drainage concerns. She
asked how far apart are these houses were proposed. Kipp replied Rl-13.5 zoning
district permits homes to be as close as 10 feet on one side for a total of 25 feet for
both sides.
Libby Hargrove, 12640 Sunnybrook Road, noted she has lived across the street for

37 years. She said their road has a uniqueness and that's why it has not been
developed until now. This parcel of land seems to conform in fit and provide a
reasonable nice development to look at. She supported the project.
A resident from 9248 Hearthstead Lane commented he is a new homeowner and
bought his home in August. He referred to comments made that Sunnybrook Woods
had a tree loss of 40 percent. He explained this was a substantial loss of trees but they
were all dead or dying trees. The developer did replant 80 to 90 new trees to
accommodate the loss. He has driven by the property in question and saw the
beautiful 36 inch maple and commented they don't have trees in that area because of
developments like this. He was also concerned about the wildlife that use the old
apple orchard and the old grove of trees. This will be a loss of viable useful trees in
that area. Even ifthe project is approved and requires replanting of trees, it will be
2 to 4 year old trees replacing 20 to 50 year old trees.
He was concerned about how future homeowners will know it's a conservation area
and the rules surrounding it. He also expressed concern about whether the City
would be responsible if a child drowns or suffers an injury in the side of the creek
donated to the City. He said as a taxpayer, he didn't want to be responsible for
anyone's injury because the property was donated. He asked what the price range of
the homes are anticipated to be. Mr. Brandt, developer, replied between $325,000
and $450,00 to $475,000 which is similar to other homes in the area.
Kipp explained the conservation easement is a legal instrument that defines what can
and can not be done in the area. The property owners own the land but the City has
the easement rights over that conservation area. They would need to obtain a permit
from the City to do anything in there. The Parks Department recommendation is to
put posts at each side of the property line at the conservation line. The posts will be
2 inch square and will have a decal on them defining the conservation area. It will be
tastefully done and will be about two or three feet above the ground. There are
ramifications if someone did go in and alter the area and the City can take legal action
on those types of infractions. .
Gerry Wersal, 12645 Sunnybrook Road, supported the project but was not happy
about the 36 inch maple tree being removed. He has a lot of compassion for the
wetland area probably more than anything involved in the development. He said he
was delighted to see that Mr. Ryan and Mr. Brandt have stayed within the guidelines
for the wetlands and the shore land impact zone. He also has compassion for Mr.
Claus, but the fact remains that the site is buildable and it's buildable according to
what the City has set up in the past with no variances.

Kipp addressed some of Mr. Claus' concerns noting the Engineering Department has
spoken with Mr. Claus about the culvert and how it works. It will be looked at
thoroughly at the Engineering Department to make sure it works well. Regarding the
lot up to the roadway, the density of this project is consistent with the projects around
there. Shifting that house up to the street would certainly involve a large widening
of that property in order to make that work and could result in additional tree loss.
Based on the consistency of the project with other projects in the area, staffhas not
asked for that to take place. The project is meeting code for wetland preservation and
shoreland code.
Al Gray, City Engineer, commented the septic tank is probably at a point where it
may continue to operate in good condition for a number of years but may have some
operating problems in the future. If the septic begins to deteriorate and show some
signs of improper functioning, rather than major repair, they would require connection
to city sewer.
Sandstad commented the project does not seem to have any major problems but did
not feel comfortable commenting or voting until visiting the site. Alexander
concurred with Sandstad. She did encourage the developer to consider doing
something with lot #5 which may enable them to save the 36 inch maple tree.
Wissner asked if it was feasible to go out to the tree and reconfirm the condition of
the tree. Kipp said they can look at it and see if it's feasible.
Alexander was concerned about where the driveways are for lots 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Griffith said the proposed plan for driveways on lots 1, 2, and 3 go out on
Sunnybrook Road and lot 4 will access the internal road. Alexander said the
driveways are going out on Sunnybrook Road and asked if that will create traffic
problems. Griffith said no. It has not been identified as a concern in the planning
process.
Foote said he doesn't see any big problems other than lot 2 where the house goes way
back. He would like to see the property before voting on it. He supported a
continuation.
Ismail supported a continuance for two weeks.
MOTION 1: Alexander moved, seconded by Ismail, to continue the public hearing

Kipp explained as with the last project, due to the late packet delivery at the last
meeting, the Commission listened to the discussion on the project and did continue
it until tonight to let the Commission further review the plans.
Bill Griffith, representing the developer, said there was an issue about a maple tree on
Lot 5 at the last meeting. Stu Fox, the City Forester, and Perry Ryan looked at that
issue since that time and they indicated it would not be feasible. He presented a
drawing of what it would look like if the road was jogged back 75 feet and explained
why it would not work. He said they had spoken with Mr. Fox in which he indicated
it would be very difficult to grade anywhere around the tree without killing it because
of its size and significant root system that comes out from the tree. The tree is
significant but the tradeoff doesn't give the tree a higher survival opportunity.
Griffith said ultimately, when you balance that against the development and the lot
layout, you end up loosing about two to three home sites to save a 36 inch tree.
However, the tree loss on the site is similar and consistent with projects in the creek
corridor.
Foote was concerned about soil corrections. Perry Ryan, Ryan Engineering,
commented at this stage of development they would not have soil reports completed
and would not get them completed until prior to construction.
Alexander was concerned about the homes being too close to the flood plain area.
Griffith said the Watershed District reviews projects for just those kind of concerns
but they do have to have the development site with the lowest elevation two feet
about the IOO-year flood level. The fill is 42 percent of what could be placed in the
floodplain according to the Watershed District. This project is below other projects
in terms offill in the flood plain that has been approved in Eden Prairie. This project
has been designed variance free and the flood plain issue is something that would be
addressed adequately by the Watershed District. He noted staff has reviewed that
issue as well.
Kipp commented the proposal is consistent with other proj ects within the Sunnybrook
area. The staff report has a comparison table which indicates this project is consistent
with other projects. The shoreland ordinance has been met and the project does not
require any variances. Staff recommended approval of the project.

Wissner was concerned about the legal aspect ifthere should be a water problem after
the project has been approved or is it just a, "buyer beware" type of situation. Kipp
said if all issues are met, including Watershed review and approval, the property
should not have a problem.
Foote asked if the City would be responsible if there was a catastrophic flood and one
of the homes did have a water problem. Kipp said he didn't know but the Federal
Emergency Management Agency has flood maps to determine if it's within a certain
flood zone, for flood insurance. Foote said he was hesitant putting the City in any
kind of financial risk. Kipp said he would follow up on it.
Alexander said the wetland limit is very close to where the homes will be on Lots 3
and 4. She suggested a legal clause in the documents saying if there is a flooding
problem in the future the City is in no way liable. Kipp said he can't answer that
question. He noted that the Developer's Agreement for the project will control house
pad locations according to the pads shown in the plans.
Clinton asked about Outlot A. Griffith said the developer has agreed to dedicate
Outlot A, which is about 2.7 acres, to the City, and another additional 3/4 of an acre
is going to be covered by a conservation easement to protect the wetland.
Approximately one-third of this site will be controlled by the City after the
development.
Habicht asked if they looked at the building pad on Lot 2. Griffith said they did.
There are some significant trees on the edge of the wetlands and pulling Lot 2 up will
effect the wetlands area and will require cutting additional trees. The drainage pattern
would also be changed in this area. All of these issues were taken into account and
it appeared that this is still the best location for that house pad.
Habicht asked if on Lot 3, the area of the lot between the two wetland areas, will be
within the conservation easement. Griffith said it could be and was a good
suggestion. They did not propose it but there is no reason to keep it outside the
conservation easement.
The Public Hearing was opened.
Bob Claus, 12491 Sunnybrook Road, noted he lives to the east ofthe development.
He emphasized that he was looking forward to nice new homes over there and new
families moving in with children. His question was if everything is in Code and there
are no variances, does that absolutely make it 100 percent guaranteed it's a good plan.
Lot 5 in Block 1 just drives all those other houses back into the flood plain more and
5
Planning Commission Minutes
September 22, 1997
creates more fill. Lot 3 in Block 2 is so close to the wetlands and he didn't see a need
for a house there. Lot 3 sort of squeezes in so Lot 2 has to be inconsistently jetted
out from the rest of the development.
Griffith said there was no reason to altering configurations of Lots 2 and 3. That is
something more typically done if there were a series of significant tradeoffs but they
are coming within the framework that the City has created for developments of this
type.
Thomas Lapic, 3557 Tara Lane, Woodbury, commented his address used to be 12655
Sunnybrook Road and he is one of the owners of the conforming duplex. It seems
significant that not only is this development in spirit with the Comprehensive Plan, it's
absolutely within the letter. There are no exceptions, no waivers, no mitigating
circumstances. The plan is clean and he stands to gain from this development. He's
Lot 8 and he and his wife will be moving back to Eden Prairie and building on that lot.
He said the maple tree had been shading his picnic table for many years. He doesn't
want to see it go but he will not loose site of the fact it's going to remain a tree area.
He encouraged the Commission to approve this project.
Cindy Wersal, 12645 Sunnybrook Road, noted their horses graze down in the
wetland. They don't want their horses grazing in two feet of water and that's not the
kind of wetland it is. This is not a swamp wetland. This is a low land that
occasionally gets wet when there's been a lot of rain. Their horses are down there all
the time and there isn't a problem with it.
Gerry Wersal, 12645 Sunnybrook Road, commented the particular finger of wetland
going up into Lot 3 and encroaching on Lot 2 is a very similar type of wetland. A
majority of the time it's a dry wetland but go out on a day like today you would
probably see some water. It's important to him to look at this whole wetland and
flood plain area in context with what they're looking at this year. They are told this
year they are not only experiencing the 100-year flood circumstance, but they are
experiencing the 500-year circumstance. They are experiencing the same thing along
Purgatory Creek, as along the Mississippi and the Minnesota River. To say they are
not effected by such major floods would be incorrect. He expressed great concern
about the Post Construction. The backyards of another project built on Sunnybrook
Road 24 months ago are now wetlands.
Lee Smith, 12500 Sunnybrook Road, was concerned about the Post Construction.
The very first project built on Sunnybrook Road had trouble. Her other concern is
the flood plain because there is no stopping people who have the flood plain in their
backyard from altering it. They are taking out vegetation and altering it to the way
6
Planning Commission Minutes
September 22, 1997
they want it to be. They moved there in 1967 and the sewer came through shortly
after about 1971. They have to stop playing around in there.
Foote commented this is not the way he would layout this development. Lot 5 is
basically unsellable in some respect but it will sell. The City has set precedents before
approving property with flood plain fill. That's part of the problem where you can't
say no to the next developer. The project has no variances and meets all the
Comprehensive Guide Plan rules.
Wissner said a lot of people like to overlook wetlands which definitely gives them
privacy so there should be no problem with that lot. They have done a good job and
she supported the project.
Habicht commented the developer has played within the rules. He felt the
Commission has to support it. He was comfortable with this project within the
spectrum of other projects ofthis nature. He supported the project.
Alexander said since the project does meet requirements and is not asking for any
waivers, the Commission should support it.
Clinton stated if the project meets all requirements and there are no complications
with what the City Code requires, then the Commission should support it.
Foote said even though he didn't think the layout was the best it could be, it does meet
requirements and the Comprehensive Guide Plan rules. He supported the project.
MOTION 1: Alexander moved, seconded by Habicht, to close the public hearing.

Supplemental Staff Report to the September 5, 1997 Community
Development Staff Report for the Villas at Purgatory Creek
This site is located along Sunnybrook Road and involves 9.8 acres. Currently, the property is zoned
rural and is guided low density residential.
The site is proposed to combine three parcels ofland to create 15 lots and one outlot.
NATURAL RESOURCE ISSUES:
Tree Loss
Currently, on the site there are 753 diameter inches of significant trees as defined by City Code. The
trees include a nwnber of landscape planted trees such as spruce, maple, ash, and birch. In addition,
there are a nwnber of cottonwoods, oaks, and basswoods are growing along the shore of Purgatory
Creek. Most of the trees that will be lost due to grading and construction on the site are located
around the existing homes on the property. A total of19 trees would be removed with a totalof255
diameter inches. The percentage of significant trees lost is calculated at 33.8%. City Code requires
mitigation and replacement totaling 115 caliper inches of trees. The proposed landscaping plan
indicates that a total of 115 caliper inches of trees would be placed along the street boulevard. The
replacement would be 38, three inch diameter trees. Staff would recommend that the trees that are
planted be similar in species to the upland trees and that they be planted back of the right-of-way by
a minimum of five feet.
NURPPond
A NURP pond is proposed to collect the street and driveway runoff from this project and pretreat
the water prior to discharge into Purgatory Creek. Storm water calculations for construction and
sizing of the ponds have to be confirmed by the City Engineering Department prior to construction.
Shoreland Ordinance -Wetland Issues
All of the lots meet the required size and lot width requirements of the City Ordinance. In addition,
the homes proposed meet the 100 foot required setback from the center line of Purgatory Creek.
This development does propose 1,560 cubic yards of fill in the floodplain to provide building pad
locations and transition grades on the site. This proposed fill is almost identical to fill that took place
east of this project with the development of Purgatory Creek Estates. The fill has been reviewed and
approved by the Watershed District.
The proponent would be required to utilize erosion fencing to protect the shoreline and floodplain
areas during grading.
Scenic Conservation Easement -Outlot Dedication
The slopes along Purgatory Creek have been earmarked for a scenic conservation easement. Staff
have recommended that the scenic and conservation easement be located over all areas designated
as wetland and the remaining floodplain area of the proposed development. Staff would recommend
that permanent posts be utilized to delineate the scenic conservation area on the lots. These posts
should be installed when the final site grading is complete.
The proponent has agreed to dedicate Outlot A (2.71 acres) to the City of Eden Prairie. City
ownership of this outlot is consistent with the overall Comprehensive Park Plan.
SidewalkslTrails
Currently, with the upgrading of Sunny brook Road there is a sidewalk proposed along the north side
of Sunny brook Road. No sidewalk or trails are required within the interior of this proposed
development.
RECOMMENDATION:
This project was reviewed at the September 22, 1997 Planning Commission Meeting and was
approved on a 6-0 vote. Staff would recommend approval of this project by the Parks, Recreation
and Natural Resources Commission based the details covered in the September 5, 1997 Community
Development Staff Report and additional details in this supplemental report.

Dr. Jean Harris
Mayor of Eden Prairie
Eden Prairie City Hall
8080 Mitchell Road
Eden Prairie MN 55344
Dear Mayor Harris:
I am writing in regards to the "Villas At Purgatory Creek" development which will be addressed during
the City Council meeting on October 7, 1997. My family lives at 12491 Sunnybrook Road, and our
property borders with the west side of Lotl, Block 2, and the north side of Lot 2, Block 2.
We want to begin by saying we are for a development on the Wersal property. We believe that a
property owner should have the opportunity to optimize his/her land value when selling, if codes and all
guidelines are followed, as this developments plans have demonstrated. However, we also believe that a
neighborhood and properties bordering a proposed development should not be negatively affected.
Individuals and families staying in the neighborhood should have the opportunity to take care of and
optimize their property, and property values.
We have a few concerns regarding this proposed development and how it impacts our existing property.
We would like the council to review and address these issues.
For items #1 and #2 listed below, we would like to request in writing (for our personal files) from the
city who is responsible, and in what time frame a solution would be completed, if there is an alteration
to our property.
1. Drainage
A. Lot 2, Block 2 will require fill. Our property slopes to the Southwest. During spring the
snow melts creating standing water that is extremely close to our property. With the proposed fill for
Lot 2 and Lot 2s extremely long driveway we are concerned about what will happen when spring thaw
occurs and where the water will go. There is a proposed 12 foot culvert that will supposedly take care
of this problem, but what if it doesn't, and we are forced to have a saturated back yard because of this
new development?
B. We are uncertain about Lot 1, Block 2, in regards of its slope and drainage. If this lots
property, due to how the landscape is constructed, drains to a point which causes a problem on our
property, what will be done.
IL{
2. Septic System and Well
A. Our house currently is using a septic system which has been problem free. We plan on
continuing use of this septic system until it is found to be in non-working order. Our septic system has
its drain field and leach bed south of our property directly toward Lot 2. We are concerned about the
possibility of our septic system being altered by the construction of Lot 2.
B. Our house is also currently using a well which has been problem free. We do not plan to
hook up to City water until our well is in non working order. The water was tested in July 1997 and
was found to be uncontaminated by the City of Edina. Our concern is with the entire development
disturbing and altering our well in some way so we would be forced to hook up to city water.
3. Preservation of trees and wildlife.
Realizing the proposed development doesn't require any variances or exceed flood plain fill
codes, we only want to make a suggestion. We would like to suggest that the Council and developer
review the following modifications to the development which would save mature trees and preserve a
lot of nature. If it is feasible to the developer and makes good sense hopefully it would be seriously
considered.
1. Eliminate Lot 5, Block 1. By doing this the road could be moved northwards, thus
moving all the back lots northwards further away from Purgatory Creek, the floodplain, and wetlands.
2. Eliminate Lot 3, Block 2. This would create two opportunities. It removes a house
which is extremely close to the wetlands. It also allows for all lots to be larger, and makes available Lot
2, Block 2 to be moved up consistently with the rest of the development (Lot 2, Block 2 currently has
an extremely long driveway -approximately 170 feet).
We hope by the elimination of the two houses (5 and 3), the loss of revenue in selling these two houses
would be offset by less costs in the form of labor, materials and fill, and gained revenue by creating
larger lots claiming higher prices. The modification would preserve trees and the abundant wildlife.
If the modifications are unacceptable we would like to suggest the developer do one of two things
between our property and Lot 2. To create a natural buffer between Lot 2s property and our property,
if 10 to 15 feet of Lot 2s property, which borders our property, could be left alone (not destroy any of
the current mature trees in this 10 to 15 foot area). Or, transplant mature trees marked for removal
from other lots, onto the border of Lot 2s property and our property, also would create a natural buffer
between the two Lots. We feel strongly that this would be advantageous to both Lot 2s prQPerty and
our property.
We appreciate the time you spend reviewing our concerns and suggestions.
Sincerely,
(//?~-t ~cJC·7cuW L~Gv;r--.. ",

Amendment of City Code Section 5.35 Relating
to Sales of Tobacco-Related Products
Attached is a draft of amendments to City Code Section 5.35 regulating the sale of
tobacco related products. The following amendments are included:
1. Subdivision 2.D. The definition of tobacco-related products has been revised
minimally to comply with the definition of tobacco contained in state statutes. As
before, the reference to butane lighters and fluids has been retained.
2. Subdivision 4. This subdivision has been amended to reference other provisions
of Chapter 5 relating to fees and issuance of licenses on a calendar year basis.
3. Subdivision 5.B. The present Code language permitting sale of cigarette cartons
through the use of a single pull alarm dispensing system has been eliminated. In
addition, a first sentence has been added permitting sales only in a direct face-to-
face exchange between the licensee and the consumer. Elimination of the
exception permitting the sale of cigarettes through the use of single pull alarm
dispensing systems is required by state law which I understand will become
effective on August 28, 1997. The draft amendment also repeals the definition of
a single-pull alarm dispensing system.
4. Subdivision 6. There have been added to this subdivision, paragraphs A, B, and
C which provide for administrative penalties for sale of tobacco to persons under
the age of 18. It should be noted that these penalties may not be imposed without
affording the licensee or individual seller an opportunity for a hearing. I have
provided that the hearing be before the City Manager or his designee. Paragraph
D. of this subdivision retains the language presently contained in Subdivision 6
of the Code and in addition, adds the language relating to failing to pay penalties
imposed pursuant to paragraph A of the subdivision.
5. Subdivision 7. Paragraph A has been modified to indicate that the misdemeanor
provisions prescribed in Section 5.99 are in addition to the penalties provided in
Subdivision 6.
6. Subdivision 9. This is a new paragraph which is based in part upon state law.
State law provides as a defense to the penalty provisions contained in Subdivisions
6.A and B that the accused made the sale relying on identification. The enclosed
draft makes this a defense in any charge of an infraction under the section (not
just the administrative penalty provisions) in the interest of uniformity.

within 10 days after notice in writing of the decision to impose a penalty, the
Council may either revoke the license or suspend the license.
Section 5. City Code Section 5.35, Subd. 7.A. is amended as follows:
Subd. 7. Penalties.
A. In addition to the penalties provided in Subd. 6 hereof, the penalty provisions

Dear Ms. Johnson:
CERTIFIED MAIL
I am the attorney representing Moore Leasing and Sales Inc. regarding their zoning

the Zoning Board's decision. Mr. Steve Durham informed me that you will set a
hearing date for this review at the next appropriate meeting and inform us of that
hearing date. Thank you.
Sincerely yours,

City of Eden Prairie
Attn: Jean Johnson
Dear Jean:
Please consider our request for a business variance of usage at 250 Prairie Center Drive,
Eden Prairie.
We are a leasing and sales corporation that has been in business since 1975 in Minnesota
with the past 5 years operating in Eden Prairie.
We have tried to operate under current city guidelines for our property and while being
extremely inconvenient and cost inefficient we have managed.
However, recent business losses have shown that the site is now really causing our
company to lose money under current restrictions.
All we are asking is that 15 late model vehicles be able to be parked and displayed in the
parking lot of our building.
We live in Eden Prairie, own a home here, attend church every Sunday here, we do not
want to move. We are an upscale operation, Our vehicles are usually one owner, low
mile lease returns in the 93 or newer models. There will be no parking of anything older
than that year.
We cannot continue under the present restrictions in effect by the city.
~=

Attention City of Eden Prairie:
In pursuant to the letter regarding the variance request for Moore Leasing; the ownership
of Suburban Place Executive Suites; and major contributor of property taxes the city of Eden
Prairie, we ask that you take serious and honest consideration in allowing Moore Leasing to park
a small amount of vehicles for sale within our property lines.
As the Business Manager for Prairie Center Properties, LLC (Building Ownership) and
representative for the corporation, I am asking your help with this special request. Moore
Leasing has been a positive addition to our family of tenants and I would like to continue services
to them in the future. However, without the variance Moore Leasing will be forced to move from
the premise which will cause a considerable financial loss to our business's well being.
In addition as a tax payer and resident I fully understand the need to provide a safe and
comfortable place to purchase an automobile; a vital and necessary resource used and needed by
all families and professionals. I believe as a team Suburban Place, and Moore Leasing can supply
the community with such a place.
With your generous offer of a variance I will personally monitor our parking area to insure
Moore Leasing is in full compliance with any stipulations you may place upon the variance.
Please note the attached property map with specified parking area outlined.

VARIANCE: #97-10 MEETING DATE: July 10. 1997
APPLICANT: Prairie Center Proj)erties. LLC for Moore Leasing. Inc.
LOCATION: 250 Prairie Center Driye
REQUEST:
I. To allow outdoor storage and display of 15 vehicles at an office zoned site (Code for outdoor
storage and display is written for Commercial Districts only). Applicant is appealing staff's
decision.
2. Utilize 2.568 square feet of area of the site for outdoor storage and display (Code permits a
maximum of 2% or 720 square feet, for a building in commercial districts only).
3. To allow outdoor storage on 11 % (15 parking stalls) of the required parking stalls (Code
permits a maximum of .005 or 1 parking stall for building in commercial districts only).
4. To allow loading/unloading of vehicles in parking lot trafficway (Code does not permit
obstruction of trafficway).
5. To reduce the required parking on site from 135 existing spaces down to 120 spaces.
ZONING DISTRICT: Office
AREA CHARACTER: This office building is located next to First Bank which is also zoned Office.
The building is north of the Eden Prairie Center.
q
BACKGROUND:
In 1984. the City started to experience the infusion of motor vehicle dealers moving out from inner ring
suburbs.
City Staff reviewed City Code and outlined how these uses would fit into our zoning code districts. It is
summarized as follows:
Dealer Office Space
Dealer Office Space with Inside Storage
Dealers Office Space with Limited
Outdoor Storage
Permitted in Districts
Office, Commercial, Industrial
IndustriaVCommercial
Commercial
The Office District is available for vehicle dealers who own/rent office space and whose activity is
exclusive office activities for the business and no outdoor storage/display of vehicles. Various office
zoned sites in Eden Prairie have had and do have vehicle dealers. Periodic inspections have not
uncovered significant problems.
In 1996, Moore Leasing requested the City's signature on a State Motor Dealer License. Upon receipt of
a letter and City form (both stating no outdoor display storage) the license was signed. (Copies
Attached)
The City did receive complaints about the number of vehicles for lease in the parking lot, the
loading/unloading in drive aisles and parking areas, and individuals marking and detailing vehicles out in
the lot. Staff inspected area and noted numerous vehicles.
Staff notified operator to correct code violation on September 27 and December 13 in 1996, and again in
January of 1997. (Letters attached)
A purpose of the Office District is to provide a high standard of environment for certain businesses and
professional offices. A protected office character. unlike office in commerciaVindustrial areas which
have different traffic patterns and some objectionable influences, i.e. odor, deliveries, frequent client
traffic, etc., that occurs in commercial and industrial areas. A decision viewing this variance request as
appropriate will set precedent for all OFFICE Zone properties.
The building has reasonable use as an office building without the addition of outdoor display on the
property.
The Office District parking stall requirement is 5 stalls per 1,000 gross feet of building. The 3-story
building is approximately 30,000 gross square feet in size. Moore Leasing rents approximately 800
square feet.
The present tenant mix may have adequate parking, but the code requirement is necessary to meet a mix
of tenant parking needs as tenants change. Allowing an 800 square foot tenant 20 stalls (15 for display +
5 for employees and clients) would be five times the parking staUs planned and would require unique
circumstances.
Relying on shared parking with adjacent sites can infringe upon other businesses and their clients. This is
done only when an a~eement is executed between businesses and the City approves.
APPLICANT'S STATED HARDSHIP: Economics -See June 13, 1997 letter.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND
APPEALS MINUTES
September 11, 1997
Page 2
Robert Moore, 12306 Oxbow Drive, reviewed his request for variances for outside
parking of up to 15 vehicles on the site. He read letters from the Goodyear Store and
the Eden Prairie Car Wash in support of the variance request. He stated he would
comply with any stipUlations the Board may put on an approval.
Mr. Johnson spoke on behalf of the owners of the building in which Moore Leasing is
located. They are 75% occupied and they need to keep their tenants to make their
business viable.
Johnson reviewed the staff report and noted that the parking requirements in the office
zoning district are 5 spacesll,OOO, and while this use at present does not pose a problem
if the other uses in the building should change it could have an adverse impact.
Nelson asked what efforts the proponent had made to locate other space for his business
and Moore responded that they had been located in the warehouse district but found it
was too expensive. They want to remain in their present location in Eden Prairie as this
site has been good for their business. They need to have some sort of parking on the site
in order to be able to show prospective customers some of the vehicles available. He had
not made an effort to locate other vehicle parking closer to the office.
Dye inquired how many cars he sold per day and Moore responded that his volume was
approximately 4-5 vehicles per week. They normally keep 30-40 vehicles on a lot in
Maple Grove but that is.very inconvenient and it creates a problem when he does not
have anything to show prospective buyers.
The Public Hearing was opened.
No one present wished to speak.
The Public Hearing was closed.
Giglio connnented he sympathized with the proponent but the ordinance was quite clear
and he did not find the hardship other than financial and being self-inflicted. Hansen
concurred with Giglio and noted the proponent had represented no vehicles would be on-
site. Ford stated he had not found a compromise that would work and he felt he must
uphold the office ordinance requirements in this instance. Dye connnented that the City
Attorney noted that the variances requested by the proponent would set an undesirable
precedent if they were approved that the adequacy of open parking at this time was
irrelevant, and therefore he did not support the variance request. Nelson stated the City
has numerous zones and accommodated many standards, and there are zones where
outside storage is permitted and while she could understand the problems involved,
variances were granted on more than financial considerations. Since the proponent had
not looked at other locations she did not support the variances as requested.

in Commercial Districts only). 3) To allow outdoor storage on 11 % (15 parking stalls)
of the required parking stalls (Code permits a maximum of .005 or 1 parking stall for

parking lot trafficway (Code does not permit obstruction of trafficway), and 5) To
reduce the required parking on site from l35 existing spaces down to 120 spaces for the
following reasons:
1. The request deviates from the Office District standards.
2. The applicant has not demonstrated a hardship unique to the property. Economic
hardship alone does not constitute an undue hardship, nor does a self-induced
hardship.
3. An approval would set a precedent and weaken the spirit and intent of the Code's
Office District regulations.
Motion carried 5-0.
B. Request #97-12 by Property Resources Corporation located at 6851 Flying Cloud
Drive to permit the permanent outside storage of up to 6 rental vehicles exceeding
three-quarter ton in the 1-2 Zoning District (Code does not permit outside storage
of vehicles in excess of three-quarter ton in the 1-2 Zoning District).
Michael Seeland, President of Eden Prairie Metro RV & Mini Storage located at 6851
Flying Cloud Drive, reviewed the request and the nature of the business. He stated they
had received a variance from the Board of Adjustments and Appeals last year to store
four rental vehicles on the site. They are requesting a continuance of this variance and
an increase to six vehicles and they would like to have the variance be permanent. He
showed the area where the vehicles would be stored, and noted they only store four
vehicles permanently on the site presently. They have revised their system to address a
complaint from the City regarding the parking of trucks in the front of the building.
They have three types of rentals, which include local, outbound, and inbound. He
described these types of rentals, and noted they have changed their security system to
equip all local rentals with a pass code, which is changed on a daily basis, which will
allow patrons to gain access to the site when they return rented trucks. The trucks which
are stored on the site are used for the local rentals and they deal with Ryder Trucks for
the other rentals. He described the system they have put in place to deal with the other
rental uses. They intend to have signage on the site which will direct the incoming rental
returns to another location which will help alleviate having them parking in the front of
the building. He noted that due to staff turnovers, some mistakes in parking had been
made, but they were addressing this problem and have implemented training programs

Re: Variance #97-10
On behalf of Prairie Center Properties and Moore Leasing, I respectfully request a
continuance of the above referenced variance review. I received word this afternoon that I
was needed in Duluth on August 14th. Because of the distance and travel arrangements I
cannot be assured ofretuming in time for the 7:30 p.m. Board of Appeals meeting.
My trip and the late notification puts my tenant Mr. Moore, of Moore Leasing, in a very
difficult position. Because the Eden Prairie City Offices had closed, it became necessary
to try to contact Board of Appeals members at their residence. I apologize for this
inconvenience. Mr. Moore was able to reach Mr. Dunham and discussed the situation
with him. Mr. Dunham requested that a letter be delivered to the Eden Prairie City Office
requesting a continuance until the next regularly scheduled meeting.
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience my schedule has caused. I trust the
rescheduling can be accomplished with your assistance.

bobcats for such things as snow remova~ which allows them to be kept on their lots.
The Public Hearing was opened.
Mrs. Gary Kostecka, l0805 Valley View Road, stated she was opposed to the proposed
building because of the commercial nature of the equipment moving on and off the
property and she believed it would be very difficult to screen the building from her
property, which is higher up and would overlook the subject site. Johnson noted that
two letters had been received by City staff which were entered into the record.
The Public Hearing was closed.
Dye commented he thought perhaps Kottke should come back before the Board with a
plan which would reflect a specific building size and type. Ford conunented that the
requested building was very substantial in size and the building should be reduced
because the variance requested was large.
Hansen concurred it would be nice to see a grading plan and exactly what was being built
on the site pad. He did not see any hardship other than the Watershed District was
raising the level of the water and he thought perhaps it was more advantageous for
Kottke to get the building pad approved than be recompensed for the loss of property
due to the raised water levels. O'Leary commented he believed the variance was too
great and the proposed building was too large. He would prefer to see the building
reduced and moved to reduce the variances.
MOTION: Ford moved, seconded by Dye, to deny Variance Request #97-09 by John
Kottke for 7665 Smetana Lane to construct a 30' X 90' metal building 30 feet from the
front property line and 70 feet from Nine Mile Creek on the basis that no hardship was
shown and the size of the proposed building was excessive. Motion carried 5-0.
B. Request #97-10 by Prairie Center Properties, LLC for Moore Leasing, Inc. For 250
Prairie Center Drive 1) To allow outdoor storage and display of 15 vehicles in an
Office District (Code for outdoor storage and display is written for Commercial
Districts only.) Applicant is appealing staff's decision. 2) Utilize 2,568 square feet
of area of the site for outdoor storage and display (Code permits a maximum of 2%

the Board approve the variance requests so she will be able to keep her tenant, Moore

Leasing, Inc. In her building.
Bob Moore, President of Moore Leasing, Inc. stated they were asking permission to park
no more than 15 vehicles in front of the building for a short time. This will prevent his
losing business because the vehicles are not readily accessible when the demand is there,
and having the cars parked on the site would enable him to make sales more easily and
thus to remain in business. He noted he had lost a sale because a desired vehicle was not
available immediately, and he could not afford to have this continue. He stated his was
a small operation and he did not desire to have it grow larger. He showed pictures of the
site and what it would look like with 14 vehicles parked on the lot. He noted that it did
not appear any different than any other similar parking lot, and there was ample parking
remaining on the site. He descnbed how his business was conducted and noted that there
was no signage other than an 8.5 X 11 sheet of paper placed inside the vehicle descnbing
the vehicle and listing the price. Poehlman stated she had received two letters of
complaint during the time he had been in business in Eden Prairie; one from the manager
of the Eden Prairie Center and he believed those concerns had been addressed buy not
allowing any unloading to occur in the Eden Prairie Center parking lot during business
hours. Moore commented that he would like to visit with the gentleman from Eden
Prairie Center because people who buy cars from him to right across to the Eden Prairie
Center to shop. The loss of business is creating a hardship for him which is why he is
requesting the variances.
Dye inquired how much space was leased by the proponent and Poehlman responded that
Moore leased 12,00 sq. ft. Hansen inquired if the purpose of the business had been made
clear when the space was leased, and Poehlman responded affinnatively, noting that Bob
Moore had been a good tenant during the 1.5 years he had least space from her, and she
would like to have him remain there.
Discussion ensued regarding the property owners and how they felt about this use of
their property. Moore stated they were not interested in getting any larger and would
not come back before the Board later to request additional variances. He stated he lives
in Eden Prairie, works in Eden Prairie, and would like to remain in Eden Prairie, but he
needs the variances to do so.
O'Leary referenced a letter from Bob Moore stating there would not be any vehicles
displayed or stored outdoors and this was the basis on which he obtained his dealership
license from the City for this location. Moore stated he was requesting the variances
because he has found there is a need to have some vehicles stored on the site so he would
not lose sales because the vehicles were stored elsewhere. Dye inquired if another
prospective car leasing tenant wanted to lease space would Poehlman rent to them, and
Poehlman responded that she would not because it was not good business to have more
than one use in the same building at the same time. Moore commented that most people
want to look at cars in a relaxed atmosphere and do not want to drive 45 minutes or
more to look at a car.
Fprd referred to the complaints included in the packet and asked why the proponent was

displaying vehicles outdoors when he knew it was against the ordinance. Moore
responded that he wants to have 15 cars displayed but was amenable to having 12 if the
Board believed that number was more appropriate.
Ford asked about using other commercial space in Eden Prairie which would suit his
purpose and not require a variance and Moore responded that they don't want to move
as this is a good location for this business. Ford asked about the banners and Moore
responded that it was only a magnetic sign on the side of one vehicle and there was
nothing painted on any windshield of a vehicle. This has not been done for over a year,
and the only signage they use is a sheet of 8.5" X 11" paper listing the vehicles available
and the prices.
Johnson gave the staff report and reviewed the car dealership history in Eden Prairie.
She reviewed the options available to the Board and noted that if the variances were
approved staff recommended that the stipulations listed in the staff report be added to
the approval. Two letters in opposition to the variance request have been received by
staff and are entered into the record.
Hansen inquired if the proponent had given any other hardship than an economic one and
Johnson responded that was the only one given. Hansen inquired if there were any other
areas that could be used that would not need a variance and Johnson responded there
were several commercial sites which could be used, but these may also require some
variances, depending on the amount of outdoor display. Industrial Districts are also
available for this type of tenant.
Moore stated he was located on Washington Avenue when he first opened his business
in Eden Prairie and that was not a good location. He has since been able to turn the
business around after locating it at the present location, and it is very expensive to
relocate a business. Discussion ensued regarding the benefits of the business being in it's
present location and the potential for rezoning the property to commercial to eliminate
the need for some of the variances. Johnson noted that a rezoning application would
need to be made by the property owners and go through the reviewal process before that
could happen.
Carol Pinski, Business Manager for Moore Leasing, Inc., explained that they do not want
a larger business because they had worked seventy hour weeks for too many years, and
this business was just the right size for them.
Dye asked if they had considered relocating to a commercial property and Moore
responded affinnatively, but none of these properties were feasible for this type of
business. Dye commented he believed if the variances were granted it would be
extremely precedent-setting for the City of Eden Prairie, and noted that the City has to
follow its ordinances.
Discussion ensued regarding whether the variance request was for a variance in use, and
it was noted that the Board is not allowed to grant variances to uses. Johnson stated that
staff believed this was not a permitted use, and the City Attorney had concurred with that

finding. However, it was the proponent's right to appeal this detennination, and
Poehlman requested that the City Attorney deliver this opinion in writing. Ford stated
that any district use change must be granted by the Planning Commission and City
Council. Dye stated that they were making a precedent decision, that they should adhere
to the ordinance regarding the permitted usage of this property and uphold the staff
position that no outside display or storage should be permitted. He believed the variance
should be denied and the proponent could appeal that decision to the City Council ifhe
so wished. If the variance were to be approved it would send a message to staff and the
City Council that they believed this should be a permitted use in this zoning district.
Discussion ensued regarding the action the Board should take on this item.
The Public Hearing was opened.
No one present wished to speak.
The Public Hearing was closed.
MOTION: O'Leary moved to deny the request for variances because the proponent has
failed to demonstrate hardship. Motion failed for lack of a second.
MOTION:Dye moved, seconded by Ford, to continue the request for 30 days to obtain
a written opinion from the City Attorney on this request for a variance from the use
provisions of the ordinance. Motion carried 4-1. O'Leary voted no because he felt the
variance requests should be denied.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
V. NEW BUSINESS
Johnson noted that the Radiator variance request was appealing the Board's decision to the City
Council, and the Council would set a date to hear that appeal at the next meeting on July 15th.
Johnson noted that there were several outside storage and display requests that would be coming
before the Board in the near future.

RE: VARIANCE REQUEST FOR MOORE LEASING, INC.
Dear Jean,
Confirming our telephone conversation of July 7 regarding the Moore Leasing, Inc. variance request, if
the requested action results in continued use of our parking lot area to load and unload vehicles from their
trucks, we oppose the action. Moore Leasing, Inc. has used our Target parking lot for the purpose of
loading and unloading vehicles from their truck. After unloading the vehicles, they park them in the
Suburban Place parking lot. They have not requested access to our lot for that purpose but have chosen to
assume that we approve. Eden Prairie Center will not permit the continued use of our parking lot for
those purposes due to the increased liability for accidents resulting from the Moore Leasing, Inc.
operations.

Re: Prairie Center Properties petition (#97-10)
As the owners of REIMAX Results and the owners of the REIMAX Results
building at 11200 West 78th Street (comer of Prairie Center Drive and West
78th Street), we are formally stating our objection to allowing Prairie Center
Properties the above referenced variance (#97-10) at 250 Prairie Center
drive, Eden Prairie.
We don't believe such activity as Prairie Center Properties is proposing fits
with the integrity of a business office area and can only negatively affect
our property value.
If Prairie Center Properties wants to run a quasi used car lot, and it has
looked like that on occasions, they need to find property or land
appropriately zoned for such activity!

Dear Ms. Poehlman:
As a follow up to our telephone conversation of 1-14-97, I am forwarding to you the
following information:
1. Zoning Code pp. 11-18,11-19,11-23,11-29,11-30,11-15, related to
outside equipment ,supplies/merchandise(merchandise for a car dealer
or lessor are vehicles), limitation on District uses, and Office District
regulations.
2. Variance Code requirements and application form, includes Code pp.
11-97,2-6,2-7.
To clarify item 1, p. 11-18, a principal use is a use such as A to Z Rental, the owner/
major occupant of a building. This would not apply to an accessory tenant in a building.
Also, outdoor placement of merchandise is limited to property zoned Commercial and
has further limitations on number of parking stalls which can be used.
Please review these items and then contact me. City staff will be available to meet with
you and discuss Moore Leasing's outside parking oflease vehicles.
Thank you for your cooperation to date

Approve Construction Plans for CSAH 4 (from CSAH 1 to Terrey Pine
Drive)
Recommended Action:
Approve resolution approving construction plans for CSAH 4 (from CSAH 1 to Terrey Pine
Drive).
Overview:
In March 1994, the City Council approved the layout for this CSAH 4 project. The final
construction plans are consistent with the approved layout plan.
Primary Issues:
In November 1996, we held an informational meeting with area residents to discuss/review the
"draft" final construction plans. (Attached is a memo sent to area residents regarding the
responses to issues/concerns discussed at the informational meeting.) Hennepin County has since
obtained the necessary right-of-way and completed the construction plans.
The landscape plan is not included in these final construction plans. However, Hennepin County
has committed to developing a landscape plan that would be bid as a separate project. The
landscape plan will replace approved landscaped areas (i.e., Fairfield berm) as close to its
original plans as possible. Other areas will be landscaped as needed with the quantity of trees
determined by the tree preservation ordinance. As we proceed with the development of a
landscaping plan, it should be noted that property owners were compensated for their tree loss.
Fmancial Issues:
With the approval of these final construction plans, a construction cooperative agreement will
be forthcoming that will identify financial and maintenance obligations for this project. It is
estimated that the City's share of the construction costs for this project is about $700,000. We
propose to use State Aid funds to finance our share.
We hereby recommend approval of these final construction plans for CSAH 4 improvements
between CSAH 1 and Terry Pine Drive.

I.C. 52-153
WHEREAS, the Hennepin County Department of Public Works has prepared construction plans
for signal and roadway improvements on CSAH 4 between CSAH 1 and Terrey Pine Drive; and
WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie has approved the layout plans for said improvements of
CSAH 4 and the final construction plans are consistent with the layout plans.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie that
said construction plans for Hennepin County Project No. 9016 (S.P. No. 27-604-12, S.P. No.

TO: Residents Along CSAH 4 (Eden Prairie Road)
THROUGH: Eugene A. Dietz, Director of Public Works
Alan D. Gray, City Engineer
FROM: Rodney W. Rue, Assistant City EngineerKW'K.
DATE: September 26, 1997
SUBJECT: QuestionslResponses from Neighborhood Informational Meeting on CSAH 4 (Eden Prairie
Road) Improvements
An Open House/Neighborhood Informational meeting, regarding the "draft" final construction plans for the
proposed improvements of CSAH 4 (Eden Prairie Road), was held at the Eden Prairie City Center on Thursday,
November 7, 1996. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the adjacent residents a list of the questions/
comments that were received during the meeting along with responses from either Hennepin County or the City
of Eden Prairie. In addition, this memorandum is intended to notify all the adjacent residents of the proposed
schedule for final plan approval by the Eden Prairie City Council. We have scheduled the City Council to
consider approval of the final plans at its regularly scheduled meeting on October 7,1997 at 7:30 p.m. in the City
Council Chambers at the City Center. The City Council meetings are cable-cast live on Channel 34 (the public
access channel available to subscribers of cable TV). We have also scheduled an "Open House" on October 6,
1997 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Center Heritage Room to review the final construction plans for CSAH 4.
The following is a list of questions/comments that were raised at the informational meeting on November 7 and
the responses and/or proposed solution in bold type. Hennepin County responses are noted as "HC" and the City
of Eden Prairie responses are noted as "EP":
1. There were a couple questions regarding the need for the project at this time.
The roadway is being built to accommodate the existing and forecasted traffic volumes and to
improve the sarety or the roadway. The traffic volumes have been rising dramatically in the last
few years and are expected to keep rising due to growth in southwest Eden Prairie and to the west.
The projected traffic volume on CSAH 4 (north of CSAH 1) in the year 2015 is approximately
18,000 vehicles per day with the current volume being approximately 9,600. (EP)
2. Why are bituminous trails being proposed on both sides of the roadway?
The City of Eden Prairie has a comprehensive trail plan that indicates trails on both sides of many
roadways (particularly on high volume county roads) within the City. Trails on both sides will allow
multiple use (walking, running, biking, etc.) without having to cross the roadway at unsignalized
intersections. (EP)
3. What portion of the project is financed by federal funds and what are each agencies share of the
construction cost?
"The total estimated construction cost for the project is $3.45 million. Of this amount, rederal runds
will pay for $1.2 million. The remaining amount will be shared by Hennepin County and Eden
Prairie. The estimated County participation is $1.55 million. The County will use State Aid (gas
tax) funding to pay for its share of the construction costs. The estimated city cost participation is
$700,000. The City will use a combination of Municipal State Aid and Local funds to cover its
share of the construction cost." (He)
4. Are NSP's power lines being buried as part of this project?
The City of Eden Prairie has been working with NSP to accomplish this task. NSP has been
designing this project and has indicated a need to establish transformer and other equipment

locations along the project corridor. Right-of-way restrictions are making this task dirricult.
However, we have been working with them to find locations for all their rucilities. It is our
intention to have a contract with NSP approved within the next couple or months. (EP)
5. How are speed limits determined?
"All speed limits in the State or Minnesota are set by the Commissioner or Transportation. Arter
the roadway is constructed, It will be signed ror the present 40 mph and the County will then
request that a speed study be perrormed." (HC)
6. How are tree impacts being minimized?
"Where possible, trees will be saved and identified on the constructions plans. Retaining walls are
also proposed in some areas to minimize tree and grading impacts. In addition, trees lost in
approved landscaped areas (Fairfield's berm) will be replaced as per the original approved layout
plan. Tree replacement In other areas will be per Eden Prairie's tree preservation ordinance.
Replacement trees will be planted under a separate prolect after completion of the roadway
construcClon." (HC)
7. How will access be handled during construction and over the winter months?
"Through traffic will be maintained at all times during construction of the project. There may be
short term lane closures during the day time to accommodate certain construction activities, but the
lane closures will not occur during peak times. No lane restrictions will occur over the winter
months."
"The Contractor must maintain access to residences and businesses at all times. At certain times,
this access may be accomplished with temporary measures, such as gravel surruces. Every attempt
will be made to minimize inconveniences to both property owners and the tra,'eling public." (l1C)
8. What types of vehicles will be allowed on the roadway?
"Eden Prairie Road Is a County-State Aid designated roadway and is runctionally classified as a
minor arterial, which means It Is Intended to carry relatively heavier traffic volumes than local
streets. The County does not place limitations on the types or vehicles allowed on these types or
roadways." (HC)
9. Would the County consider removing the barricades on Berger Drive during construction?
"These barricades were placed as a condition or a County permit. This permit requirement was
based on inadequate sight distances on Eden Prairie Road and thererore during construction the
barricades will remain In place. After completion or the project, the sight lines will be re-evaluated,
and It is likely that the barricades will then be removed." (HC)
10. Why would the City allow Trunk Highway 212 to end at CSAH 4 and dump those additional vehicle trips
onto CSAH 4?
The City or Eden Prairie has been consistent in its support or Trunk Highway 212 being built as
soon as possible. However, with the current rundlng scenario, the schedule ror construction or
Trunk Highway 212 west or CSAII 4 Is "up In the air". Traffic that would be on that segment or
Trunk Highway 212 (rrom Trunk Highway 5 to CSAH 4) would likely be trarric that would
presumably be going north or south on CSAII 4 anyway and would be using this roadway rather
than proceeding to or rrom the Trunk Highway S/CSAII 4 Intersection. (EP)
11. What did the Noise Study indicate and what is the County's obligation when or if standards are exceeded?
"The noise study indicated that with the proposed improvements the projected noise levels in the
year 2016 will increase slightly compared to the existing noise levels. The anticipated increase in
noise levels in all cases is 3dBA or less. Noise level increases or 3dBA or less are considered
Imperceptible to the human ear. It should be noted that the noise levels would be expected to
increase even without the proposed improvements, due to anticipated trarric growth, which would
occur with or without the project."
CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
Engineering Division, Department of Public Works

"Federal Highway Administration (FHW A) noise standards apply to this project because federal
funds are being utilized. According to FHW A standards, a noise Impact occurs when one of the
following conditions exist: (1) the projected noise levels substantially Increase over the existing noise
levels In the area, and (2) the projected noise levels approach or exceed the noise abatement criteria,
which Is 70 dBA In residential areas."
"There Is no mandated definition for what constitutes a "substantial Increase", but In general,
Increases In the range of 10 to 15 dBA Is considered substantial. The predicted noise level increases
on this project are 3dBA or less."
"In one case of the noise study, both existing and predicted noise levels exceed 70 dBA. If an
effective barrier were feasible at this location, Hennepin County would be obligated to consider
mitigation. But Eden Prairie Road Is an uncontrolled access facility and barriers are usually not
feasible for these types of facilities. For a barrier to provide significant noise reduction It must be
high enough and long enough to shield the receptor from significant sections of the highway. Access
openings In the barrier, such as driveways and side streets, severely reduce the noise reduction
provided by the barrier. It then becomes economically unreasonable to construct a barrier ror a
small noise reduction, which Is the case for this project. Safety at access openings due to restricted
sight distances Is also a concern. Because placing a barrier such as a noise wall would not
effectively reduce the noise along this roadway, Hennepin County Is not obligated to mitigate the
noise on this project, and noise walls are not proposed."
"The noise study Indicated that In several cases, existing and projected noise levels exceed the State
standards set rorth by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The MPCA noise level
standards are 6S dBA ror daytime hours and SS dBA for nighttime hours. Meeting MPCA noise
standards Is very difficult for uncontrolled access facilities such as Eden Prairie Road, and
mitigating to meet these standards on this project Is not feasible because of the number of driveways
and street openings along the corridor. Hennepin County is not required to meet MPCA standards
on this project because roadways such as Eden Prairie Road are exempt from Minnesota noise
standards." (lIe)
12. There were a couple of questions regarding the potential for property values to decrease due to the
construction project.
This Is certainly a subjective and debatable Issue with many diverse opinions. However, property
owners with property or easements being acquired by the County will be compensated for the
difference in perceived value before and after the project. (EP)
13. There were a couple of questions regarding the CSAH 4 profile (between Summit Drive and Red Oak
Drive) and lowering that profile to help mitigate noise impact.
The construction plans Indicate that the proposed profile (from approximately 200 feet south of
Candlewood Parkway to approximately 200 feet north of Berger Drive Is generally one to three feet
lower than the existing profile. Specifically, at the Intersection of Candlewood Parkway and CSAH
4 the proposed elevation of this Intersection Is approximately 3.6 feet lower than the existing
Intersection. (EP)
14. When the proposed trails are plowed, where would the snow be stored and wouldn't the trees adjacent
to the trail be damaged?
After discussing this with the Eden Prairie Parks Department, they Indicated that their policy would
be to try to clear the trail on at least one side or the roadway and would likely use "snow blower
type" equipment to minimize damage to adjacent trees/property. (EP)
15. There were drainage problems identified in the Lincoln Lane area and on the cemetery property.
Two orr-road catch basins are proposed to pick up adjacent property drainage near Lincoln Lane
and the storm sewer in CSAH 4 right-or-way will be sized to accommodate ruture Lincoln Lane
drainage. Drainage culverts under the cemetery driveways will be built low enough to adequately
drain the cemetery property. (EP)

16. Construction of Lincoln Lane should occur with this project.
Hennepin County Is not obligated to rebuild Lincoln Lane beyond their project limits. U the
residents of Lincoln Lane are serious about the reconstruction of Lincoln Lane, a petition to request
improvements would be necessary. (EP)
17. There appears to be a need for signal lights at the current Scenic Heights Road intersection and possibly
at the Miller Parkway East (Miller Park Entrance) intersection.
This project does include the installation of a temporary traffic signal light at the existing Scenic
Heights Road intersection with CSAH 4. A traffic signal at the intersection of Miller Parkway East
and CSAH 4 is unlikely due to the close spacing between the existing Scenic Heights Road
intersection and the Miller Park Entrance. (EP)
18. There appears to be a safety issue regarding the proposed retaining walls in the back yards of a couple
properties on Berger Drive.
"There are two issues regarding sarety in the vicinity of House Nos. 16075 and 16087 on Berger
Drive. The first issue brought up by the property owner was their concern about vehicles leaving
the roadway and running down the slope Into their backyards. They stated that this had occurred
in the past. With the new typical section which includes curb and gutter and a 14-root wide berm
behind the curb, motorists have sufficient area to recover if they do leave the roadway. In addition,
the area Is on the Inside or the curve. Motorists should be less likely to leave the roadway on this
side."
"The second Issue Is the sarety or pedestrians and bicyclists adjacent to the steep slope and the walls.
To address this sarety issue, fencing will be installed along the east side of the trail in this area."
(HC)
19. What further steps are necessary for construction plan approval?
The Eden Prairie City Councll will be required to approve the final construction plans. As
indicated previously in this memo, the Eden Prairie City Council is scheduled to consider the
construction plan approval at their regular Councll meeting on October 7, 1997. Approval of a
Cooperative Construction Agreement between Hennepin County and the City of Eden Prairie will
also be required. (EP)
In addition to the above general questions/concerns, there were a few individual property owner concerns relating
to the project. Those concerns have been addressed by discussions between Hennepin County and the individual
property owners.

Subject: Staff Recommendation for the 1998 4th of Item No.!:x[:-c"
Jul Site Selection
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the 1998 4th of July Celebration sites remain at Round Lake Park and Staring
Lake Park for daytime activities and at the Eden Prairie Center for the evening entertainment and
fireworks. This recommendation is based on the following information.
PRO AND CON INFORMATION
ROUND LAKE PARK
•
•
•
•
•
•
Hometown "park" atmosphere
green space
beach and water available
more activities available
all day stay for participants
concessions make more money
OTHER FACTS
•
•
•
•
•
CONS
size of the park does not
accommodate the number of
participants
limited traffic flow
limited parking ( especially accessible)
due to construction
construction of Valley View Road in
1998 plus possible construction of the
new activity center
more "hands on" clean up the next day
• wear and tear of park
• weather pending
• With the increase of fireworks this year (financially, length of time and amount) and the
number of spectators, we anticipatc having to limit the number of spectators (potentially
turning away people) at Round Lake Park due to the limit of accommodations for parking,
traffic flow, and safety.
• Although the new parking lots at the High School are not yet complete, Police have been able
to use the lots for football games with favorable results.

FLYING CLOUD AIRPORT
fB.QS.
• lots of grass (green) space
• Wide-open area for viewing of
fireworks
• work cooperatively with Planes of
Fame for tours
• conceptionally the FAA Tower Chief
is supportive of the idea as of Sept.
10, 1997
OTHER FACTS
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
CONS
one road for traffic flow (congestion) -
access roads would need to be built
for safety reasons
mosquitoes / buggy
no shade
limited designated parking
wear and tear on fields
vendors need black top and tents
weather pending
limitations to time frame as well as
what can and cannot be done based on
permits requested by the M.A.C. and
the FAA
• question on whether the airport can
really close for the event or not
• no event focal point -people spread
out all over
• increase of police, park, and recreation
staff due to increase of safety, traffic
flow, parking, set up and clean up
concerns
• safety issues with all the hazardous
materials at the airport
• There is a great concern for safety, traffic management, accessibility, logistics, and planning
time in relations to the FAA and M.A.C. permits that are required.
• The FAA and the M.A.C. will most likely ask us to hold harmless and cover all liability.

EDEN PRAIRIE CENTER
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
easier clean up
set up was easier and faster
no bugs
concessions did not need tent rental
more relaxed atmosphere throughout
all three sites (Round Lake Park,
Staring Lake Park, and EP Center)
more parking
better traffic access and flow (25
minutes to empty lot after fireworks)
potential for regional event
down town
• increase of business involvement
which may mean more money
(contributions) and the possibility of
turning fireworks program over to the
business communities
• community event other than City event
• increase number of spectators
• creates a good partnership with
businesses
• increase of promotions for the down
town area
• larger viewing area
• decrease of police staff during the day
• allow many residents in the highest
density area ofthe city to view the
fireworks from their own residence
OTHER FACTS
•
•
•
•
CONS
limited to the length of day and types
of activities
decrease in concession revenue
because people are spread out and the
length of time is shorter (concessions
would be encouraged to be more
mobile)
lack of green space
the current fall out zone would need to
be reassessed due to a new business
being built across from the mall
• Cost comparisons for Police services in 1996 at Round Lake Park = $4,300 and in 1997 at
the Eden Prairie Center, Round Lake Park & Staring Lake Park = $1,900.
CLOSING COMMENTS
Staff would like a decision for selection of site at the October 7, 1997 City Council meeting to help
with the planning time line.

• The mixed doubles tennis tournament did not get enough registrations to run.
• The mens softball tournament filled with 8 team and the added brat feed for the teams was a huge
success.
• The games and activities held on the beach and marina ran with about the same attendance in the years
past.
• Concessions made $400 for the day compared to $100 last year.
Staring Lake Park:
• An estimated 556 people attended the Teddy Bear Band concert.
