All members were present.
I. CALL MEETING TO ORDER
Mayor Harris called the meeting to order at 6:40 p.m.
II. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. CONSERVATION EASEMENTS
Referring to his memo of October 21, 1997, Lambert reviewed the two types of
conservation easements the City uses. He said since the controversy in the Big
Woods area they have had calls more regularly for conservation easements as
people realize the value of establishing an easement in order to keep the trees. He
said the easements that are used to preserve backyards between houses will
probably disappear within ten years. The scenic easements that are not obvious to
property owners will be difficult for the City to manage because most of the
markers will disappear in a few years along with the conservation easement line.
We would have to get a court injunction in order to enforce that type of easement.
Lambert said it makes sense to put in carsonite markers but we cannot ensure the
markers will remain in place. Staff has been encouraging developers to put
hillsides or wooded slopes into an outlot with a scenic easement over the outlot
because that means it will be more likely to be preserved. They also encourage the
developer to gift the outlot to the City because the homeowners' association usually
does not want to maintain the outlot and the property owner gets a tax write off that
way.
Harris noted that was the process we used most frequently over the last 6-8 years.
She asked why we have begun to use the conservation easement more frequently.
CITY COUNCIL/STAFF WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 21, 1997
Page 2
Lambert said we have had scenic easements along the creek areas and they work
there; however, they have had a problem with filing the scenic easement. It is
generally required as part of the Developer's Agreement that a scenic easement be
put over the area. We approve the document and ask them to file it with the final
plat. The filing of the final plat may not occur before some of the lots have been
sold, so those buyers are not aware of the scenic easement. They have considered
having a signed scenic easement document at the time of final plat with the City in
charge of filing it. Such a document would work in some occasions, but we still
need a way to catch it before any lots are sold.
Enger said we have 25 years experience in this area. He noted it is highly labor
intensive and a lot of difficulties arise. He thought there is probably a technique
that should be used in certain situations only, such as creek bluffs and lakeshore.
Those will take a lot of staff time to enforce. We need to determine what works
and what will endure over the long haul. He thought we have had a huge success
in tree preservation as a result of the process we went through to implement the
Tree Preservation Ordinance.
Case said the owners have a visual identification of the easement if you can keep
the bulldozers off the area in the development phase. He met with 8 of 13
homeowners involved in the Big Woods issue, and no one there knew where the
easement was. They had no concept from the initial plat map. He thought an
easement still gives more of a chance to save some trees. Lambert replied that if
a scenic easement is put in place for that purpose, then the property owner has a
legal right to require enforcement.
Case agreed that we need to use the easements very judiciously. He thought the
Big Woods was an instance where the property owners did not know about the
easement when they bought the property. He thought we need to enforce blatant
cases such as the property owner who roto-tilled part of the Big Woods.
Enger said if we had a test case we would know; however, it would depend on
what the penalty would be as to whether it was worth it.
Case asked if the City every enforces easements because he wanted to make sure
it does what we want it to do. Lambert said if we want to test the issue we need
to decide what would be a good court case, because it would put Staff in a difficult
situation if we don't enforce.
Case said City Attorney Pauly gave Stu Fox advice on establishing a legal process
for enforcement. Harris thought going forward we need to select opportunities
where there is a possibility of enduring conservation. She thought we need to
examine very carefully the pros and cons of pressing the issue in the Big Woods.
Enger said there was a Minnetonka court case with a woman who wanted her front
yard to grow in a natural condition. They followed the letter of the law, and there
CITY COUNCIL/STAFF WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 21, 1997
Page 3
were no winners in that case. The City has used the strategy that the tree policy
was adopted to try to make the discussion of the issue objective, not subjective.
We wanted to have a policy and ordinance that would be enduring and that we
would not have to test and possibly have it thrown out. He thought we may need
to re-look at how we can get past the construction phase with the easements.
Case said the big issue is the Big Woods. He thought it might be possible that the
one property owner would settle before we went to court.
Tyra-Lukens said we had a lot of discussion on tree mass when she served on the
committee to review the ordinance. She thought we may need to specify no
grading in a specific area, because she doesn't see developers attempting to
maintain tree mass.
Case said he liked the outlot idea. Harris agreed and said she thought we need to
revisit the legal issues. She remembered the long discussions about the Big Woods
and how we need to preserve this as a unique area of Eden Prairie. In the current
issue in the Big Woods, she thought we will be inserting ourselves into the middle
of a dispute between two home owners.
Case thought we need to get back to whether we want to direct Staff to take the
early steps to pursue legal action against the one homeowner in the Big Woods.
He did not want to put this on the back burner. Jullie noted a letter did go out
to the homeowner.
Dietz said he didn't think there would ever be a big penalty or fine. He thought we
could put in a requirement for a metes and bounds survey early in the development
process. That would mean more work for the developer but would help establish
the easement early on.
B. COMMUNICATIONS REGARDING DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
Harris said we talked to Staff about the need to understand the unique and difficult
proposals that are coming up. Her experience is that Councilmembers attending
meetings with the developer have not been productive, partly because the activity
takes place on the front end of a long process. She thought we disenfranchise the
commissions and our Staff as a result of those meetings. She would like to receive
a one page sheet with bullets describing problematic projects that are coming
through.
Thorfinnson hasn't found the meetings particularly useful either. With the
development on the corner of Pioneer Trail and Hwy 169, he had people telling
him what other Councilmembers said and trying to play one against the other. He
was equally concerned about what we are doing to the commissions by usurping the
process.

CITY COUNCIL/STAFF WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 21, 1997

Tyra-Lukens agreed with the points made, especially the issue of subverting the
commissions. She thought a lack of disapproval for a proposal was taken as
approval. She thought there are always issues brought up at commissions and
public forums that we hadn't thought of. She thought having a sheet of information
on a development proposal would be sufficient.
Butcher-Y ounghans thought the tacit approval issue is a problem. She asked what
the benefit is to the meetings with the developers. Enger said Staff began
recommending neighborhood meetings and, if Councilmembers received calls after
the meetings, they did not know anything about the proposals. He thought the
developers can't resist the urge to get approval up front.
Case thought the meetings came out of the Pulte project where we got 20-30 calls
before we saw anything. He thought we need to be able to say we know about the
project and get the information up front. He thought a plat map would be helpful
to have, especially if the development is controversial.
Thorfmnson suggested a one-page summary of everything going through the system
that would list the number of units and potential issues. Tyra-Lukens noted it
would have to be timely.
Enger said we have a Project Profile that has been used to provide a chronological
list of projects from the point where we have just heard about them. He suggested
starting with that as a tool and see if that would provide the kind of information
needed.
Harris would like to see three or four lines on the status of a project so that we can
be aware of developments. We could then ask for more information.
Dietz suggested asking developers to provide a summary paragraph in the
developer's package that would describe the project.
Enger noted this would not address the problem of the developer having the
neighborhood meeting and then Councilmembers getting calls about the
development. Case thought in that case he would at least have an idea of what the
project is about; however, he thought we still have a problem with long-time
residents who are developing their property. Harris thought we are talking about
the routine processes at this point.
Thorfinnson thought it was okay to meet with the developer but we should make
it clear that anyone there is speaking on his or her own and is not speaking on
behalf of the entire Council. Harris thought Staff has to carry that message to the
developers.
Tyra-Lukens thought we were talking about the importance of not circumventing
the whole process by meeting with developers up front. We have to be very
Lj
CITY COUNCIL/STAFF WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 21, 1997
Page 5
careful that we don't circumvent the process in any way. We need to let groups
work, deal with it when it comes to the Council level, and not get over-involved
prior to it coming before the Council. Harris thought there is an undercurrent of
commission concern about City Council confidence in them. It is important that
we understand it is perceived as the Council position when we speak. She thought
it should be one of the rules of conduct for Councilmembers because we want
unbiased recommendations from the Commissions.
Butcher-Y ounghans thought the group process with the commissions is a better
process anyway. Harris said we want to make sure not to gag anyone, but rather
to organize things and make sure we get the best advice back.

V. PUBLIC HEARINGSIMEETINGS
A. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT HEARING (Resolution 97-200)
Jullie said the official notice of this Hearing was published October 2, 1997 in
the Eden Prairie News and mailed to all property owners affected.
City Engineer Alan Gray presented a review of the general scope of each project
proposed to be assessed, including the final project costs and proposed
assessment rates. He then noted changes to be made to the published assessment
rolls. Regarding the Sunny brook Road assessments on page 1, he said the
owners of the Wersel and Farrel properties have requested that those properties
be treated as homestead property at this time, which would move the assessment
for the additional units to the time of development.
Referencing page 6, the Supplemental Trunk Sewer and Water assessments, he
said we have received a written objection from Physical Electronics. He
recommended that this assessment be adopted, and then we can enter into some
negotiations with them. If the settlement is much different from the initial
assessment, staff will bring it back to the Council for review.
Gray said the Tax Forfeiture item on page 7 is the reassessment on a property
that is back out of tax forfeiture. He recommended we change the number of
years from five to ten, per the owner's request.

Gray noted staff answered many questions during the meeting time from 6:00 to
7:00 p.m. tonight, so there may not be many questions from the audience
tonight.
There were no comments from the audience.
Regarding PID 21-23-0018 on page 7, Butcher-Younghans asked why that
property is being assessed over 14 years. Gray replied it is probably an
exclusion that was part of the original assessment six years ago, which we
would have assessed over a total of 20 years. Now they are using the facilities,
so we will assess over a 14-year period. He noted it has been our policy to do
that and have told people we would.
MOTION: Thorfmnson moved, seconded by Case, to close the Public Hearing
and to adopt Resolution 97-200 approving the 1997 Special Assessments.
Motion carried 5-0.

VIII. PETITIONS. REOUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
A. CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS FROM PLEASANTVIEW ROAD
RESIDENTS REGARDING INTERSECTION OF IDGHW AYS 101162
AND DELL ROAD
Jullie noted that in May 1997 the Hidden Glen Neighborhood petitioned the
Council to place temporary barriers on Pleasantview Road due to extreme traffic
levels. October 15, 1997 was to be the date for removal of the barriers. The
residents have now requested to appear before the Council suggesting three
alternatives for Council consideration which would give them relief from traffic
levels for their neighborhood.
Dietz reviewed his memo of October 21, 1997. He said the residents'
alternative for a one-way street would be effective only if there could be another
one-way in the other direction in the neighborhood, and we don't have an
opportunity for that in this area. We would not be able to close it permanently
because there is not enough room to put a terminus on the cul-de-sac. He
thought their third alternative of two additional stop signs on Pleasantview Road
at Bracketts Crossing and at Barrington would be the best. He thought this
might be a reasonable solution to the problem of traffic cutting through.

October 21, 1997

Brian McQuillan, 19141 Pleasantview Road, said the purpose of the letter of
October 13 from the residents was to give them an opportunity to come back to
work with Council and staff and to have a community meeting to discuss it.
The alternatives listed were not intended to be inclusive, and they had hoped to
have more on-going conversation among themselves and with City staff. He
would like to have a decision deferred so there could be more conversation.
Mike Turgeon, 19197 Pleasantview Road, said the biggest objection they have
heard for closing the road permanently is the issue of snow removal. He
thought we could have another six months of closure on the road to see how
things would work with the snow removal this winter. This would create the
least amount of changes for all those involved.
Laura McQuillan, 19141 Pleasantview Road, said the road was not designed for
the traffic level that is on it. She has concerns that we are benefiting those who
are not Eden Prairie residents. If the stop signs are the best way to go, they
want to keep the dialogue open with the City. She thought it will require heavy
enforcement during rush hours.
Kent Rigdon, 19200 Pleasantview Road, thanked the City for closing the road
during the summer so they could feel safe backing out of their driveways. He
said they are located at the end of the county and at the end of the City and are
put in a no-win situation even with the stop signs and the eventual stoplight on
Hwy 101.
Fred Goldberg, 18921 Joseph Curve, understood the closure was temporary.
The traffic pattern past his house has increased significantly since Pleasantview
Road was closed. He noted they were not made aware of this meeting but he
did walk around his neighborhood last night and asked people to fax letters to
Alan Gray. He thought the stop signs on Pleasantview are a good idea. He
. would encourage putting in a no right turn onto Pleasantview during rush hours.
They would like to see the barricades removed.
Dietz said he had erred in assuming that the recommendation would lead to no
further discussion. He said they got a petition with 36 signatures on it and
several letters from the residents in the area asking that the street be opened.
Tyra-Lukens asked if it isn't a matter of more than just space available for
snowplows, but also turn-around space. Dietz said all the service vehicles
would have a problem with turn around. Tyra-Lukens then asked him to define
a collector street. Dietz said the standard width for collector streets is 32 feet,
and that is the width of Pleasantview. We have as many as 3000 vehicles per
day on collector streets. He said the levels they were at were within the ability
of that type of street to handle.
Tyra-Lukens asked Dietz to clarify the criteria for a four-way stop. Dietz said
there should be a combination of 500 vehicles per hour in both directions
5
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
October 21, 1997
Page 6
combined. He said there is no way this street would meet that criteria, but there
are other reasons to put up the stop signs. He noted there will be a high
incidence of disobedience to the stop signs there. He said they would not be
able to patrol it all the time, but they would enforce it when they put the signs
up so that people get used to it.
Case thought the road has to be opened, and he thought there are things we can
do to stop the non-Eden Prairie traffic from using it as a through street. He
would like us to petition the County to have a no right turn from H wy 10 1
during the morning rush hour. He thought that would stop the drivers who are
going north on 101; however, it would not stop those cutting across Hwy. 101,
but the stop signs might deter them. He did not think the residents moved in
expecting 3000 cars per day on that street. He would like to have Staff pursue
the no right turn issue with the County.
Dietz said the maximum traffic volume before the road was closed was 1400.
He thought the traffic will be freer flowing now with the construction that has
taken place. He would caution against doing more than the stop signs at this
point as they would like to monitor the situation and see if other measures are
necessary.
Case thought there is a long process involved in going to the County, and he
would like to have Staff pursue that. If we have the power to put the no right
turn sign up, then we should do it, otherwise we should go through the County.
John Kuzara, 19113 Pleasantview Road, did not think the idea that Pleasantview
Road was a collector street was brought forward at the meeting in May. He
asked if width of the street is the only criteria. Dietz said the functional class
drives the width of the street. They knew there would be a higher volume of
traffic on that street, so they planned it with a 32-foot width. Kuzara said they
had a meeting with Rod Rue, and they discussed that this was a residential
street. Dietz said the road was designed as a collector street; however, the fact
that driveways along the street are used to back out into the street also enters
into the situation. He thought this is a good first step to address the issues.
Kuzara thought the construction has nothing to do with the level of traffic on
Pleasantview because they have had problems for years. Dietz said if we refer
back to the discussion in May we would see that we expected the traffic to get
significantly worse than it was at the time, and that was the reason for our
temporary closure. He thought Hwy 101 and 62 will be a convenient
alternative, and he would not anticipate a big back-up in this vicinity.
Kuzara thought the 1400-car volume estimate is too low. He thought the reality
is that they will still cut through. He asked if the concern is that we are limiting
traffic within Eden Prairie. Harris said that is one of the concerns, because our
transportation system is designed to distribute traffic around the City. Kuzara
to
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
October 21, 1997
Page 7
said they get a lot of traffic from Chanhassen, not Eden Prairie, and he did not
understand why a one-way would not work. Dietz thought we can monitor what
is happening and we can always do more.
Ladonna Krumholz, 19004 Pleasantview Road, said the traffic has been getting
worse over the years. They have worked with the City and were told that stop
signs would be driven through, especially unwarranted stop signs. She would
like to discuss the alternatives and is not necessarily satisfied with the stop
signs. She thought a one-way street would not cut off access for Eden Prairie
residents, and she would like to consider that alternative. She thought
expanding Hwy 101 to Hwy 5 will cause more problems.
Tyra-Lukens asked if the preliminary plans for expansion of Hwy 101 shows
any kind of divider that would eliminate crossover traffic. Dietz said they do
not have any layout plan at this time; however, it is being developed. He didn't
think there could be a full median through the intersection because all of the
area west of Eden Prairie Road relies on that for access. He did not know if it
will be signalized.
Harris thought we should try the stop signs and monitor it to see what other
mitigation might be required.
A discussion followed about the no right turn sign. Dietz said we have talked to
the County about this; however, he did not think we have ever had this situation
with a county road before so he did not know what the protocol might be. He
asked what would constitute an appropriate level of traffic. Butcher-Younghans
would like to go slowly with this, and she thought the stop signs will change the
behavior of Chanhassen drivers cutting through. She would be willing to have
the neighborhood come back and talk about this again; however, we need to
remember a change in the traffic pattern in one area changes it in another.
Thorfinnson did not think there is a reason not to apply for the no right turn sign
at this point. Once the intersection of Hwy 101 and Dell is finished, he thought
the traffic will flow freely. In response to Dietz' question as to what is an
acceptable level of traffic, he thought we need to come to a meeting of the
minds, and a committee may be the best way to do that. Harris thought there
are other residents who are feeling the impact of the road being closed. She
would like to go ahead and discuss the sign with the county, but evaluate
whether we want to put it in or not. Thorfinnson thought a sign would present
some difficulties to the neighborhood.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Thorfmnson, to approve the Staff
recommendation for removal of the temporary barricades on Pleasantview Road
at TH 101 and installation of 3-way stop signs as per the Staff Agenda Report of
October 21, 1997, and with the request that staff pursue with the County putting
in a no right turn sign to cover rush hours with the Council to have final
approval to install such a sign. Motion carried 5-0.

Recommendation:
Staff recommends approving a contract to United Properties Construction Division in the amount
of $26, 1 09.82 to remodel the upper level restrooms near the Garden Room Entrance.
Background:
The renovation of the City Center Building was completed in 1991. The restrooms, in this area of
the building, were not remodeled due to budget constraints. The Facility staffhas received many
complaints about the appearance of the restrooms, over the past several years. They are now in
need of repairs, which will be done with the remodeling.
Plans and specifications were completed, advertised and distributed. Bids were opened October
15, 1997. One bid was received from United Properties Construction Division. City staff was
told by other contractors that their schedule is full through the end of February. Staff believes it is
in the best interest of the City and its tenants to do the work now. The bid price matches the
same work done on other similar restroom remodel projects completed by another contractor.
Financial Considerations:
Money to remodel the restrooms and bring them up to standards set for the rest of the building
was budgeted in the 1997 budget.

Approve Change Order #8 for Den Road Liquor Store
RECOMMENDATION:
DATE: 11104/97£
ITEM No.N .
Staff recommends approval of change order #8 in the amount of $24,328.00. The new total for
the construction of the liquor store is $1,329,798.51.
BACKGROUND:
Change order #8 covers additional storm sewer work and site restoration which should have been
part of the original contract. The heavy rains this summer caused several washouts damaging the
Super 8 property and the liquor store property. The change order improvements will restore the
site and should prevent the washouts from occuring again.
This is the last change order for the liquor store construction contract. The contractor is in the
process of finishing the punch list items to receive final payment.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The project is still within the anticipated budget amount. The money for the additional
improvements will be funded with proceeds from the liquor store operations.

Public Works Change Order No.3
Eugene A. Dietz Parks/Public Works Maintenance Facility
Requested Action:
Approve Change Order No.3 to the Parks/Public Works Maintenance Facility contract which
reduces the contract price by $14,423.00.
Background:
The combination of Change Order No.1, No. 2 and No. 3 has the net effect of reducing the
contract price by $13,178.00.
There is an accumulation of 13 items for Change Order No.3 as listed in the attached document.
Major items (over $1,000.00) are more fully described as follows:
1. Switch gear pad and extensions (+ $1.459.00). Subsequent to the bid opening, it was
determined that the main electrical cabinets for the building need to be at least 18 inches
above the floor level (code requirement). This item included building a concrete pad and
extending electrical conduits to accommodate this modification.
4. Delete floor caulking (-$8.272.00). The contract documents specified that all
contraction joints in the truck storage area were required to be caulked. Staff determined
that this would be an unnecessary expense that would also lead to additional maintenance
in the future and approximately 6,000 lineal feet of caulked joints were deleted for this
savings.
9. Perimeter beam and wall panel anchorage (+ $4.028.00), The connections between the
existing precast panels and perimeter beam of the existing building were found to have
failed in a number of locations. The structural engineer for the project design team
developed a remedial solution to reconnect the two building components using anchor
bolts and steel angles.
10. Modification of Conference millwork (-$1.760.00). The building includes a conference
room area for which the plans called for a hardwood veneer paneling on the wall
separating the room from the lobby --similar in effect to the wood paneling details in
the City Council Chambers. Frankly, this detail went unnoticed until very recently.
Staff determined that the detail was not in keeping with the function of the building and
that a modest cost savings could also be realized by eliminating the paneling in favor of
a more traditional sheet rock finish.

13. Precast wall panel credit (-$13,062.0()). Contract documents called for an exposed
aggregate precast panel on the building expansion area to match the exiting precast
panels. As delivered to the job site, the panels contained significant flaws in the exposed
aggregate finish. The supplier --Spancrete Midwest Company --believe that they spent
approximately $28,000.00 trying to remedy the problem in the field. However, the
effect was a minimal improvement at best and may have made matters worse. At that
point, there were only two choices -a. Reject the panels and delay the job by at least
six weeks or b. Request a deduct in price. The fmal result is that Spancrete, in addition
to the extra work to remedy the situation on site, paid the cost to add a second coat of
paint and reduce the price for the panels by 10% ($13,062.00). While the cosmetic
appearance is well short of perfect, from a durability and structural standpoint they meet
all expectations. It should be noted that Spancrete Midwest Company never once denied
responsibility for the problem and accepted the City's recommended solution for what
I believe is the best "win-win" compromise available. This level of ethics and customer
satisfaction as displayed by Spancrete Midwest Company is a rare commodity in the
construction industry.
Fmancial Considerations:
A fmal Change Order No. 4 will be necessary for the project. Currently, there are
approximately 13 additional items that are known that will have the net effect of increasing the
overall contract by approximately $2,000.00. In addition, there is the potential for a soils
correction issue and an electrical item that could be more substantial. The goal of staff has been
to pay for change orders out of the telephone and furniture budget for the project.
I will be available at the council meeting to more fully address these issues as requested by
Council.

Per the attached letter dated October 10, 1997 from Spancrete Midwest, the contrad value
will be reduced by $13,062. With this redudion in cost, the requirement that the exterior finish
of the precast panels comply with PCI Quality-Control Standards and also to match the
approved mock-up panels, will be modified such that the in place, painted appearance of the
panels will be accepted as is.

Re: Eden Prairie Maintenance Facility
Spancrete Midwest Company Job #11912
Dear Gene:
Spancrete Midwest Company recognizes that the quality of the exterior finish on the precast wall panels
does not meet the expectations of all parties involved including the City of Eden Prairie, Kodet
Architecture, Sheehy Construction and Spancrete Midwest Company.
Spancrete Midwest Company has invested over 1,250 additional man-hours in our plant and in the field in
attempt to remedy the texture concerns that exist on this project. This additional labor totals
approximately $28,000 over our original contract amount. Although this work did improve the appearance
and texture, the panels were still not acceptable.
.'
The job Originally called for one coat of Thorocoat on the new and existing wall panels. A test (one coat
on the first panel and two coats on the second) was performed on two panels on the south elevation.
Upon inspection of the result, Spancrete agreed to pay for the second coat of paint on only the south and
east elevations. The estimate for this second coat is $7,990.00. In addition to the second coat, we agree
to deduct the 10% of the manufacturing portion of the wall panels ($130,618.00). This amount being
$13,062.00
With this settlement, we ask that Spancrete Midwest Company in no event be held responsible for
damages, liability or costs of any kind or nature in regards to only the exterior apprearance of the precast
wall panels. Spancrete Midwest Company's warranty regarding the structure integrity, erection practice,
etc., remains in tact. With your signature below, you are in agreement with this and the dollar amounts
disc ssed above.

Public Works r;' Lease Agreements with MnDOT
Eugene A. Dietz . Fire Station and Maintenance Facilities
v
Requested Action:
Approve lease agreements with the Minnesota Department of Transportation as follows:
• Fire Station No.1. Lease No. H-05847 (27D041). Parcel 76C, S.P.2762 (212=260)
902. $5,000 per month beginning November 15, 1997 and ending March 31, 1998 and
thereafter on a month to month basis.
• Parks/Public Works Maintenance Facility. Lease No. H-05846 (270040). Parcel 76D,
S.P.2762 (212=260) 902. Beginning December 1 at a pro-rated rate of $10,000 per
month on a month to month basis.
Background:
The City of Eden Prairie executed sale documents for these two buildings on July 15, 1997.
The provisions of the sale allowed the City to occupy the buildings until November 15 at no
additional cost.
In fact, the City needs to occupy Fire Station No. 1 for as long as possible, until it is necessary
to vacate the premises for construction ofTH 212. Therefore, staff negotiated a lease agreement
for the Fire Station in the amount of $5,000 per month, which will expire at the end of March,
but may be extended on a month to month basis depending on the schedule for TH 212
construction.
The agreement for the sale of the Parks/Public Works Maintenance Facility has similar language.
The difference is that the scheduled completion date for our replacement facility is November
16. MnDOT authorized a two-week grace period until December 1, but thereafter we would
pay rent at the rate of $10,000 per month. Staff expects to be moved into the new facility by
December 1, therefore, authorizing this lease arrangement is only a precautionary measure in
the event of a delay in occupancy of the new building.
Fmancial Implications:
The City received full payment for both of these buildings in mid-September. The revenue
generated from investment of these funds more than off sets the costs of the lease.

WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie desires to continue using the respective facilities beyond
the November 15, 1997 possession date as provided in the sale of the buildings;
WHEREAS, MnDOT is willing to delay demolition of the buildings in order to allow the City
of Eden Prairie to utilize the buildings beyond November 15, 1997; and
WHEREAS, MnDOT has prepared a commercial lease that identifies the permitted uses and

DEPARTMENT: ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Public Works Professional Services Agreement with Summit Envirosolutions
Eugene A. Dietz Aquifer Resource Management System
Requested Action:
Authorize Mayor and Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Summit
Envirosolutions to design and install a RealFlow Aquifer Resource Management (ARM) System
for an amount not to exceed $217,300.
Background:
Traces of the radioactive element, Tritium have been detected in the City of Eden Prairie water
supply. This element is not dangerous or harmful to the public, but is an indicator that our well
water recharge time frame is much shorter than expected, since this element only came into
existence in the 1940's. It was always presumed that the time it takes surface water to percolate
through the ground strata and travel through the aquifer to our wells was more than 100 years.
The fact that this element appears in our drinking water, tells us that assumption is incorrect and
it makes Eden Prairie one of the top five municipal systems needing to establish a wellhead
protection program.
Staff has been working over the past three years with the Hennepin Conservation District to
develop a wellhead protection zone --the recharge area that we must begin to manage carefully
to prevent contamination from entering our aquifer. What we have discovered is that the
traditional modeling approach to develop a wellhead protection zone results in a very
conservative area. Further, the ability of the Hennepin Conservation District to develop a
useable wellhead protection zone has been somewhat disappointing.
With this background in mind, we have "discovered" Summit Envirosolutions and the firm has
made a proposal to develop an Aquifer Resource Management (ARM) program. The initial
discussions involved developing a wellhead protection plan, but has blossomed into a proposal
to install a patented RealFlow system in our well field. In essence, the proposal will be to tailor
the Rea1Flow model to the City of Eden Prairie and design a software package in conjunction
with installation of monitoring devices at each of the City's 11 existing wells and on the four
wells proposed for construction in 1998 with the following capability:
• Sensing devices at the well site that will measure water level in the aquifer, monitor
flows, pump controls, motor/pump vibration, power usage and telemetry systems.
• Route the data to the water plant
• Analyze and model the data
• Display ground water system data as a three-dimensional "picture" of our water supply
Through this monitoring and analysis process, the proposed benefits would include:
• Optimization of new well siting
• Optimize well field performance by being able to visualize actual ground water
conditions. Cost savings can be realized in the form of reduced energy costs due to
efficient yields from new wells.
• Optimization of our current preventative maintenance schedule. The City currently
budgets approximately $50,000 per year to remove, inspect, repair and reinstall pumps
in two wells per year. A continuous monitoring system is expected to allow that
schedule to lengthen, because we will know conditions as they occur.
• A five-year schedule for preventative maintenance is "state of the art", but continuous
monitoring of a particular well may avoid a catastrophic failure that could be prevented
by routine maintenance dictated by ongoing data collection.
• A tailored specific wellhead protection zone can be developed using the data accumulated
from this system and the management of activities in a reduced zone (as compared to a
more conservative traditional approach) will reduce our personnel costs for monitoring
the wellhead protection zone area.
The end product of this contract will be to develop a specific wellhead protection zone for our
well field and to optimize efficiencies in the well field to reduce operational and maintenance
costs and to "get the most from the system".
Fmancial Implications:
The total cost of the project is estimated at $337,600. The City share is planned to be $217,300,
which would come from the Trunk Water Fund. Additionally, Summit Envirosolutions plans
to contribute $35,000 towards the project for advancement of their patented technique and
research and the proposal anticipates a grant from the American Water Works Association
Research Foundation in an amount of $85,300. At this time, there is a high expectation that the
majority of the costs to the City can be recovered through the use of RealFlow over a 5-10 year
time frame. Although we are 98 % certain of the grant, we will report back to Council before
proceeding if the grant is not received.

Public Works I: ~ Special Assessment Agreement with Jerry's Enterprises
Eugene A. Dietz ~ . Sewer and Water Access Charges
Requested Action:
Approve a special assessment agreement with Jerry's Enterprises in the amount of $8,470 for
sewer and water access charges (SAC/W AC) for restaurant facilities in the Preserve Village
Mall.
Background:
Historically, the City of Eden Prairie has recovered the costs of our investment for sewer and
water infrastructure through a combination of:
• Fixed charges on utility bills of $12.50 per quarter
• Trunk sewer and water assessments on an acreage basis at time of development
• SAC/WAC charges at time of building permit
Restaurants are large water and sewer users and consequently the SAC/WAC charges can be
significant. Occasionally, this factor creates a hardship and the City has attempted to mitigate
the problem by allowing the City's portion of SAC/WAC charges to be specially assessed.
This agreement provides for a restaurant in the remodeled Prairie Village Mall --D' Amico
Catering, Inc. --to have a portion of their SAC/WAC charges specially assessed. In an
agreement negotiated by the real estate agent involved in the project, the following arrangements
have been incorporated into the lease to preserve the "deal":
1.
2.
3.
Transfer three credits from the restaurant that was removed from
Jerry's New Market (no cash exchange)
Cash paid by the landlord (Jerry's Enterprises)
Special assessment to the Preserve Village Mall to be paid specifically
by D'Amico lease
Total Amount of SAC/WAC
$14,070
$10,290
$ 8.470
$32,830
Although rather complicated, it apparently took these measures to preserve the lease with the
restaurant tenant. The special assessment will be for ten years at an interest rate of 8 % and
collection with taxes will begin in 1998.

The Staff recommends that the Council take the following action:
1. Close the Public Hearing.
2. Approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for Zoning District Change from Rural to 1-2 on 9.5 acres;
3. Direct Staffto prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations (and
Council conditions).
Background:
This site is part of the BFI property and guided Industrial. Rezoning of 9.5 acres to Industrial is being requested for
the construction of an 80 foot high telecommunications antenna tower. To meet the 4: 1 setback from Rural zoned land,
the site is approximately 320 x 320 feet.
The Federal Aviation Administration has approved the specific location and height ofthe monopole.
Planning Commission found the request consistent with surrounding land uses. No opposition to the request was
received. As per the Staff Report condition, the Developer's Agreement will contain a condition that no building
development can occur on site until utilities are available and required City review and approval is complete.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
On October 27, 1997, the Planning Commission voted 6:0 to recommend approval of the Rezoning and Site Plan

Re:zonine
BACKGROUND
The 9.5 acre site is adjacent to US 212 and contained within the Browning Ferris property. The
site is guided Industrial and currently zoned Rural. The monopole location is approximately
1,000 feet from the garbage filled landfill area. The landfill has been closed since 1987. The
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is responsible for monitoring the closed landfill; and BFI will
continue to operate the methane gas extraction system.
A temporary monopole was constructed on the site three months ag) for testing purposes. This
pole still exists. If the rezoning is approved, a permanent installation will be made. If the zoning
is not approved, the temporary pole will be removed.
Across TH212 from the site is the Flying Cloud Airport. The tower height and location has
received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. Eighty feet is the maximum height
allowed at this proximity and location to the airport.
SITE PLAN
At this time, a single 80-foot-high monopole is proposed for the site. In conjunction with the
monopole, there will be standard ground equipment at the tower's base.
The site is level and drainage patterns will not be affected by the proposed installation.
UTILITIES
Public sewer and water is located at the intersection of212 and Pioneer Trail (County Road #1).
Sewer and water is not needed for monopole construction.
P ARK DEDICATION
Platting is not part of the request. Rezoning will be accomplished by metes and bounds
description.
At such time the land is platted and developed, cash park fee will be required.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS CODE
Back~()Und
The Telecommunications Act of 1996: Cities may regulate location of telecommunications
facilities to the extent it does not infringe upon the services provided.
The proposed monopole meets the required setback from the adjacent Rural Zoned BPI land. An
area of9.S acres is being rezoned so the 80-foot-high tower will meet the required 4: I setback
from the remaining Rural Zoned BFI land. An 80-foot tower requires a 320-foot setback from
rural zoning.
Co-location, placing the antenna on an existing tall structure, is difficult in this area due to the
airport's proximity and the FAA's controls on height and location.
The possibility oflocating another company's antenna exists at an approximate 60-foot-high level,
but this may not be high enough for adequate coverage.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
The 9.S-acre site is large enough to accommodate flexibility in platting lots for future industrial
buildings. When this occurs, the monopole could be removed, relocated to an appropriate spot on
a developed lot, or accommodated upon a lot to be platted and developed.
Also, BFI owns additional acreage adjacent to this site which further increases development
flexibility.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The staff would recommend approval of the rezoning for the tower based upon the plans dated
and subject to the following conditions:
1. No building improvements, other then the monopole, can occur upon the property until a
Site Plan approval and other needed review is applied for and approved.

antenna tower at 9813 Flying Cloud Drive, Eden Prairie.
Dear Sirs and Madams:
Telephone: 612 686 2600
Fax: 612 686 2700
Sprint PCS is requesting that the Eden Prairie Planning Commission and City Council
consider the approval of a rezoning of 9.62 acres of R, Rural property to 1-2, Industrial
to allow Sprint PCS to construct an antenna facility at 9813 Flying Cloud Drive in Eden
Prairie. The approval of this application is being requested in order to complete a
portion of a national PCS infrastructure network being installed by Sprint PCS.
The reason for the rezoning is to accommodate setback requirements outlined in the
Eden Prairie Municipal Code related to antenna site development. A complete and
detailed explanation of the request is attached to this cover letter. Sprint PCS has
plans for an 80 foot monopole structure to be developed at the site and will submit
those plans for administrative review (per City Code) following action on the requested
rezoning.
Attached for your review is the following information:
1. Land Development Application and check for $ 750.00;
2. Deposit Agreement and check for $ 1500.00;
3. 15 copies -Site data information (Exhibit A);

PUB, Public (Flying Cloud Airport)
9813 Flying Cloud Drive is located approximately Y.t mile southwest of Pioneer Trail on
Highway 169-212. The property consists of 110.67 acres -of that total, approximately 14 acres
are currently zoned 1-2, Industrial. The remainder of the property falls within the R, Rural
classification. Development on the site includes OfficelIndustrial facilities on the
aforementioned 1-2 zoned property with the majority of the remaining land covering a closed
landfill operation. Development in the immediate vicinity of the subject property is limited.
Included is Flying Cloud Airport to the West, Commercial development to the North of Pioneer
Trail and Residential development approximately 2/3 of a mile to the East.
I Introduction
Sprint PCS is requesting a rezoning of 9.62 acres of R, Rural zoned property to 1-2, Industrial
to facilitate the location ofa Telecommunications Antenna Tower (80') on the property at 9813
Flying Cloud Drive. In the spring of 1997, the Eden Prairie Planning Commission and City
Council adopted an Ordinance regulating the placement of Antenna facilities within the City.
One provision of this Ordinance required that any tower erected in the City must be set back a
7
minimum of four (4) times the tower height from any Rural or Residentially zoned property. As
a result, because Sprint PCS' plan for the erection of an 80' monopole tower at the BFI facility
falls within that portion of their property which is currently zoned R, Rural, a rezoning of 9.62
acres is necessary to accommodate the tower location and setback requirements.
I Findings
The City's Comprehensive Guide Plan identifies the subject property as "Id, Industrial" as a
long-term use and, Sprint PCS feels that the property is ideally suited for development of an
antenna tower site. As stated earlier, the proposed rezoning involves property which is currently
being utilized as an industrial use. The proximity of Flying Cloud Airport and the fact that the
vast majority of the subject property consists of a closed landfill operation results in the proposal
being in no way out of character with the current or planned development of the area. The
rezoning is only necessary to accommodate the setbacks requirements of the Municipal Code as
they relate to antenna tower facilities and will not result in any increased demands being placed
on City services (Le. Water, Sewer, Fire, Police).

Re: Moore Leasing Inc. vs.
City of Eden Prairie
Dear Ms. Johnson:
CERTIFIED MAIL
I am the attorney representing Moore Leasing and Sales Inc. regarding their zoning
situation. It is my understanding that my client's variance request (#97-10) was
denied on September 11,1997.
It is my client's intent to appeal this denial and we request the City Council review
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,
(J-IUL

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.
~trulY,
~~c>

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:
1. 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 staffs
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
Industrial/Commercial
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 commercial/industrial 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 stalls 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 agreement is executed between businesses and the City approves.
APPLICANT'S STATED HARDSHIP: Economics -See June 13. 1997 letter.

September 11, 1997

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 spaceS/l,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 isvery 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 commented 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 commented 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.
MOTION: Dye moved, seconded by Giglio to deny Variance Request #97-10 for

reduce the required parking on site from 135 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 ofthe 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 iiI 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 pennanently 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 loca~ 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 removal, which allows them to be kept on their lots.
The Public Hearing was opened.
Mrs. Gary Kostecka, 10805 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 commented 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 staffs decision. 2) Utilize 2,568 square feet
of area ofthe site for outdoor storage and display (Code permits a maximum of 2%

does not permit obstruction of trafficway), and 5) To reduce the required parking
on site from 135 existing spaces down to 120 spaces.
Jeanette Pohelman, Property Manager for Prairie Center Properties, LLC, requested that
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 describing
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 affirmatively, 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.
Ford referred to the complaints included in the packet and asked why the proponent was
BOARD OF ADmSTMENTS AND
APPEALS MINUTES

Page 5
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 tum 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 affirmatively, 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 determination, 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. lfthe 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.
VI. ADJOURNMENT
MOTION: Ford moved, seconded by Dye to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried 5-0. The

Attention Jean Johnson, Zoning Administrator
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.
Should you have further questions regarding the issue, please contact me at 941-7650.

It has been brought to the attention of the City Zoning Administration that an object on your
property does not meet code specifications. An administrator has inspected the site and confums
that a banner advertising the "leasing of 1000 cars" is being displayed by using a vehicle as the

Please take the necessary actions to correct the situation by October 3, 1996.

Re: Tenant: Moore Leasing
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 of lease vehicles.
Thank you for your cooperation to date

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE:
SECTION: Report of City Manager 11/4/97
DEPARTMENT: ITEM DESCRIPTION: ITEM NO.XI.B.1.
Administration Proposed Contract Settlement
Agreement with Sisinni Food Services
(SFS)
Request:
Council approval of the attached Settlement Agreement with Sisinni Food Services (SFS)
at an amount not to exceed $122,000.
Background:
Mr. Tony Sisinni has informed us he cannot continue to operate the Garden Room under
the terms of his current contract. He would need a substantial supplement ($3,700 per
month at least) from the City to continue providing the same level of service.. His contract
runs to the end of 1999.
Following discussions with Mr. Sisinni, we agreed to pursue a mutually beneficial solution
which would close out his contract at this time, and bring in a replacement caterer with
expanded resources and operational capacities.
We have now received a very good proposal from Minnesota Vikings Food Service, Inc.
They would establish the Garden Room as a base for their extensive catering operations.
A monthly supplement from the City would be needed ($1,500), which could be offset with
revenue sharing if catering sales were to exceed a base amount. This does seem
reasonably possible. We visited three Minnesota Viking Food Service, Inc. luncheon
operations and all were very good. They would establish a high quality operation in
keeping with the excellence we strive for in all our City services.
Staff believes it would be fair and reasonable to close out the SFS contract at a price not
to exceed $122,000 and will be determined as follows:
1) Purchase the inventory of restaurant appliances, tableware,
supplies, etc. at a fair market price. This City cost could
be offset by resale to Minnesota Vikings Food Service, Inc.
or other potential buyers. All items would be inventoried
and inspected prior to the City's purchase.;
2) SFS has several catering events booked into the future.
These events would be transferred to Minnesota Vikings
Food Service, Inc. The City would pay SFS an amount for
lost profits on these events. We expect that over time
this cost could be recovered by the revenue sharing
aspects of the proposed Minnesota Vikings Food Service, Inc.
contract. ,
- 2 -
3) Mr Sisinni has also requested a contract or "business
value" consideration. No doubt there is some value to the
catering and luncheon business he has developed, and
given the fact that he has operated at essentially a
zero subsidy over the past two years, such consideration
seems reasonable.
On Tuesday evening, we will report further on our discussions with Minnesota Vikings
Food Service, Inc. and a proposed date for the changeover.
CJJ:jdp
2-
• The deposits for the bookings are forwarded to the City or otherwise resolved to the
satisfaction of Minnesota Viking Food Service.
Contract Value
The City will review and compensate you for the value of your business provided:
• SFS leave the above equipment and booking information with the City.
• SFS work cooperatively with Minnesota Viking Food Service during the transition
process.
• The City will retain exclusive rights to any vending machine operations you may
have within the City Center.
The contract completion date must be addressed. You proposed the November 15th date as the
date you would like the contract to end. If that is still acceptable to you, we will take this signed
document to the Council the 4th of November.
I will have you and Barb Cross work with Minnesota Vikings to begin the inventory the I st week
in November. You can begin to compile the information for future reservations so both can be
completed by the 10th of November. Once all the information is in and the City has verified the
new equipment and accounted for the existing equipment, and the Council has approved the
expenditure we can have the finance department issue payment.

Memorandum
To: Tony Sisinni
From: Carl Jullie
Date: October 24, 1997
Subject: Proposed Contract Settlement Agreement With SFS
The City wants to address the proposal you gave us to close your contract with the City. We
have reviewed your proposal (valued in total at $122,000) and in order to continue the process,
we need to clarify the basic terms of a settlement agreement. This agreement will remain
conceptual until dollar amounts for inventories and future bookings are verified and until City
Council approval. There are three basic parts to your proposal as follows:
Inventory and Equipment:
The City is willing to pay the current replacement value for equipment and inventory you
purchased for the Garden Room operation provided:
•
•
•
A detailed list of inventory and equipment can be verified and valued.
The list of items the City purchased for the Garden Room and made part of your contract
is attached. This list of equipment must be inventoried and accounted for.
Viking Food Services will be in the kitchen area to make an inventory of the items which
are present and the condition for their own purposes. We will use their services to help us
complete the inventory.
Scheduled Events in the Garden Room
The City agrees to compensate you for lost business opportunities requested in your proposal
provided:
•
•
You provide a list of events stating the type of event and necessary services dates, times,
and paid deposits. Names and phone numbers must be included so the booking can be
honored.
Minnesota Viking Food Service will take over all of the events.
