The meeting began at 7:04 p.m. Mayor Harris reviewed the format for the meeting,
which included a presentation by the developers including Interwest and MnDOT, which
will be followed by public input. The meeting would be adjourned promptly at 9: 15 p.m.
The vote on this issue will be the first item on the agenda at the regular City Council
Meeting which will be held on September 3, 1996. The public may submit written
comments through Friday, August 30, 1996. She requested everyone to keep comments
brief to allow everyone who wished to speak time to be heard. A three minute maximum
would be required.
II. PRESENTATION BY DEVEWPERS
Bob Lindahl, a member of the Community Highway Association and a member of the
Chaska City Council for the past 18 years, and President of the SW Metropolitan Highway
Commission, stated these organizations have worked together to achieve goals. He
discussed the history of working with government to get things done on behalf of the
region. They tried to get the gas tax increased to keep Highway 212 a viable project, but
there was no funding at MnDOT to get the Environmental Impact Statement done so the
Metropolitan Council made it possible. This was also done with Highway 5. There is no
divided farm to market roadway that has the ability to handle the truck traffic that is
presently on existing roadways. Traffic has greatly increased over the past six years and
even if Highway 5 and Highway 212 were upgraded there was still a need for the major
four-lane highway to handle the truck traffic.
Federal funding is not available and MnDOT does not have the funds either. There is the
need for the road and the toll road proposal is a way to get it built without having to wait
until 2015. That alternative financing should be considered and evaluated. They have
done a feasibility study by Wilbur Smith Associates who are a part of their team. One of
the beauties of this proposal is that no one who doesn't want to use the toll road has to
because they can continue to use the existing roadways just as they do presently. He
discussed the project proposal and reviewed the way in which it would work. The toll
orad will enable the project to be constructed as a larger project and the costs of inflation

will not have to be incurred as they would be if the road is built in 2015. The costs for
the additional right-of-way will increase significantly which is another reason to build the
roadway now. There is no risk to the State and local bond holders in the event of default
as the management company would simply take over and operate the road as before.
Excess funds which will eventually be generated by the toll road will be used for other
local transportation projects or to prepay the bonds. All will benefit because there will be
less congestion on the existing roadways. Toll road traffic is projected to be diverted from
Highway 5 in significant numbers which will make transportation through this entire area
much better for everyone. These areas are incurring very rapid growth and the toll road
is a way to achieve a better transportation system for the Southwestern Metropolitan area
and it has been endorsed by all the communities which are affected and/or impacted.
On page 3 of the Development Agreement between MnDOT and Interwest there is specific
language prohibiting tolls from being collected on T.H. 5 from 1-494 and at the
intersection ofT.H. 5 and Wallace Road. He reviewed the funds which have been spend
in Eden Prairie for right-of-way and those that have been spent along the route which will
be wasted if the roadway is not constructed. He discussed the non-competition provision
which prohibits the construction of additional lanes on a highway within the area which
he illustrated on a graphic. The agreement allows MnDOT to expand Highway 5 to four
lanes. MnDOT has been negotiating the turnback of Highway 101 to Hennepin and
Carver Counties because of the lack of funds for proper maintenance.
There will be an in-depth feasibility study which will be completed on January 30, 1997.
The issues which will be dealt with include the issue of marketability of the bonds. There
will be further refinement of the design, negotiation of construction contracts and
acquisition of remaining right-of-way. This has not been done because until they are
assured that the road will be approved they did not want to incur the expense of the study.
Interwest and MnDOT will be involved during the initial phases and then it will be
managed by the association.
Darrell Burkowitz discussed the toll facility which will be located adjacent to the
Kindergarten Center. This toll facility is approximately 1,800 feet from the center, which
translates to 113 mile.
Lindahl stated that the main toll facility is proposed to be located between Highway 41 and
Powers Boulevard in Chanhassen, and is not within the City boundaries of Eden Prairie.
There will be metered ramps from Dell Road and also on Eden Prairie Road. The traffic
which is projected to exit on Dell Road in the year 2000 will be approximately 1,500
vehicles.
Richard Johnson stated they envision using local contractors for the construction which
may occur over three seasons. It will be a challenging schedule. It will be a competitive
process and they see a large involvement with many contractors. There will not be any
collusion.

Adele Lawry, MnDOT, discussed the financing and MnDOT will contribute no more than
$200 million to the cost of the construction from Highway 5. The rest of the funding will
be generated by revenue bonds and from tolls. MnDOT has no responsibility for these
bonds. In the event of default all the property will belong to the State and no one will be
able to close the road. They anticipate that by the year 2000 most regular users of the toll
road will buy and use transponders which will enable them to enter the toll road at regular
speeds.
Chuck Sigerud, Metropolitan Division of MnDOT, stated there have been large numbers
of projects that had to be deferred over the past few years due to lack of funding.
Highway 212 is on the 20 year plan but it will not be started until a few other projects
currently underway are completed.
Darrell Burkowitz described the cut areas which will be done from the existing ground and
the cut areas will decrease as they move west and then rise again closer to the intersection.
There will also be a noise abatement wall constructed to make the area more pleasing to
the people in the area. They will need to have no additional right-of-way in the area of
Wallace Road to construct the toll plazas.
Lindahl stated that they have pledged to use an open process and the project won't be
constructed for another 20 years unless it is built now. Case asked about the alignment of
Scenic Heights Road and Highway 212 and Dietz responded there will be a berm and a
noise wall between Scenic Heights Road and Highway 212.
Thorfinnson inquired how much gas tax was collected last year in the State of Minnesota
and Lawry responded approximately $800 million dollars. Thorfinnson inquired how
much went towards maintenance of existing roadways, how much went into the building
fund and where did the remainder go. Lawry responded he did not have that information.
Case inquired about the funding for roadway maintenance or the construction of roadways
that do not have the traffic levels the metropolitan area has and how that was allocated.
Lawry responded he did not have that information but would get answers for the City
Council.
The Public input portion of the meeting was opened.
Marvin Cofer, 14837 Blakeney Road, asked if Highway 212 was such a high priority road
why would it take MnDOT twenty years to get it built. The people who have attempted
to get the road built are to be commended but they have not labored to have a toll road
built. This is a new and recent concept. Mr. Lindahl had referenced the support given
for this project by the outlying communities and it has not been so evidences in the press
as he would have us believe. He was concerned about what would happen if the toll road
were built and then the legislature should decide that toll roads were not what the state
wanted to have.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
TOLL ROAD PUBLIC MEETING
August 27, 1996
Page 4
Lindahl stated that the State of Minnesota passed a law authorizing toll roads to be
constructed in 1993 and the toll road process began in 1994. The Star Tribune did not
opJX>se this project or believe that the legislature had abrogated their responsibility in the
process.
Sandra Russen, 8731 Summit Drive, stated that since 1957 any project over $10 million
needed to have alternative funding looked at as the way to be fair to all citizens and for all
Minnesota roads. There are some options available other than toll roads. Perhaps
alternative such as placing toll roads over bridges which take more to maintain and
construct should be considered. There could be toll roads placed in other locations more
lucrative than Highway 212 will be. She inquired where the funds from the gas tax were
going. She suggested perhaps funds could be generated from vehicle registration which
could then be used to construct Highway 212.
Carol Hanson, 16200 Hilltop Road, stated that residents of Eden Prairie pay more taxes
than is equitable for the metropolitan area. Under the Fiscal Disparities Act Eden Prairie
contributes more than its fair share to the outer state areas, and pays more in taxes than
other city residents do. She believed that Eden Prairie residents should intensely lobby the
legislature to have funding allocated to construct Highway 212.
Richard Kiehl, 8628 Braxton Drive, inquired if the City Council would take action on any
pro{X>sal that came before them that was not in its final design phase. The Highway 212
project will be done finally after the veto period is over. In Eden Prairie he pays 17% of
his taxes which go to Eden Prairie and the high construction will add wear and tear on
surrounding roads. He was concerned about who would pay for this. He noted that the
City is building a new public works building which is in the way of Highway 212 and who
is going to pay for moving this facility.
Dietz responded that the City was in the process of negotiating the purchase price from
MnDOT but it has not been agreed upon as of this date.
Terry Britton, 18410 Maple Leaf Drive, told an allegory regarding baseball and inquired
if we were dumb enough to try something for the first time just on the principle that it
might work. He noted that the projections for traffic levels given by the proponents were
inaccurate because they are based on numbers that were generated in 1995.
Bob Greeninger, 10326 Concord Drive, commented on the credibility issue of those City
Councils acting on the toll road issue. Chaska passed the toll road, yet over 75 % of its
citizens were opposed to it. He was concerned about a conflict of interest. He did not
believe the toll road was needed to benefit the City of Eden Prairie.
Peter Belles, 15790 Summit Drive, asked if Eden Prairie was in the same region as Edina
or Minneapolis. He believed the toll road was not the best solution for the southwestern
metropolitan area or Eden Prairie. As City Council members they were pledged to vote
the wishes of the citizens and the citizens are opposed to the idea of a toll road. He

TOLL ROAD PUBLIC MEETING

believed this issue should be returned to the legislature and have them attempt to find
funding again.
Therese Waters-McCabe, 18119 Evener Way, stated the traffic on Highway 5 was heavy,
but no one wanted to construct a toll road to relieve it. She wanted something done to
alleviate the traffic levels on Highway 5, which will occur if Highway 212 is not built.
She wanted to know what would happen to the traffic in the event Highway 212 is turned
down. Mayor Harris responded that traffic levels will continue to increase in that event.
John Hanson, 16200 Hilltop Road, stated that Highway 212 has been talked about for
many years but seemed to lack the push to get the roadway constructed. The only thing
which has been offered is the toll road proposal and most of the citizens of Eden Prairie
do not want to have a toll road located within their community. He believed toll roads
would be more effective in other locations than the proposed Highway 212 site.
Mike Mulverhill, 16931 Hanover Lane, stated he could give the City Council 800 million
reasons why the road should not be a toll road. The state should have the resources to
construct this roadway with the $800 million in revenue generated from the gas tax. It was
unacceptable to have this roadway located so close to the Central Kindergarten Center and
going through Miller Park. He stated it was time to vote on this issue now and not defer
it until the regular City Council meeting.
Steve Sweiven, 8234 Hiawatha Avenue, inquired how many alternatives were looked at
before the toll road was proposed and what those were. He inquired how many people
would drive on the toll road. Those people pay taxes just like everyone else and will still
have to pay a toll in addition to those taxes to use this road. He believed the projected
costs for the toll road were exorbitant, and lay outside the realm of common sense. He
believed the traffic projections for the future were inaccurate. He believed approval of the
toll road would risk the entire future of the City of Eden Prairie.
Jim Gust, 16729 Candlewood Parkway, inquired about the light rail regional trail and
whether it would be needed for light rail transit in the future. He noticed it was being
~eyed recently and upon inquiry of one of the surveyors was told it might be used for
light rail transit in 15 years.
Representative Tom Workman, Chanhassen, stated that light rail transit was not something
that would occur in the immediate future, and Eden Prairie would get it last of all the' cities
in the metropolitan area. New transportation funding is not going to come from the
legislature to get this roadway built. There is nothing happening that wasn't already
happeriing anyway. If Eden Prairie doesn't want to have the toll road built, then it won't
be built; the legislature isn't going to force it upon the citizens. MnDOT has always
shown that if a community does not want a roadway, it is not constructed. He apologized
for the legislature in not taking action on this issue, and noted that if citizens wanted their
local decisions to be made at the state level, they could accommodate that. He stated that
this legislature was not going to decide on construction of the toll road.
s

Case inquired if the state would run out of funding in eight years for roadway maintenance
because funding was so inadequate. Workman responded that the legislature will not pass
another gas tax to obtain more funds. Case commented he believed the people in
Minnesota will not tolerate doing nothing to alleviate this situation. He noted that it was
the Legislature's job to plan and construct the state's trunk highway system. Workman
stated that taxpayers have had enough taxes and if they don't want to have Highway 212
constructed as a toll road, then it won't be built until MnDOT can come up with the funds
to build it as part of the regular highway system.
Thorfinnson inquired why they assumed that they would always spend funds like they are
spent today. This rationale makes it easy for the legislature to approve a tax that will
impact Eden Prairie and the western communities. He suggested that they figure out a
way to pay for roads without creating new taxes. He discussed the taxes Minnesota
residents pay and believed that the money should be there to be spent on roads when
needed.
Pidcock stated that it was the way of the future to enter into partnerships between public
and private entities and with the federal government downsizing, there would more and
more of these arrangements being made.
Case thanked Representative Workman for taking time to come and answer some of the
concerns that have been raised at these public meetings about the legislature and what
course of action might be taken in the future on this issue.
Mark Rabogliatti, 17107 Hanover Lane, stated that there is a prohibition on tolls being
charged on the T.H. 5 segments with the agreement between MnDOT and Interwest but
it can be amended. There is a provision which allows MnDOT to place liens on the
property that they all own. The State is putting over $107 million into the project which
can be repaid to the state if there is any money left after the road is paid for. He believed
there was a chance that this money might not be repaid. The state is giving Interwest an
interest-free loan that may never be repaid. If MnDOT has to maintain this roadway
MnDOT should be repaid first to recoup the tax dollars spent on maintenance.
Mike Rush, 6907 Hanover Lane, stated this was a fight which should not be given up at
the State level. They will have to address this issue because traffic levels are increasing
and something will have to be done. They believed this was an opportunity to send a
message to the State and let them know that the citizens of Minnesota would not tolerate
financial irresponsibility on the part of the State Legislature. MnDOT has a budget of
$1.3 Billion. $800 million was diverted to the General Fund and he believed that the toll
road could be viewed as a tax increase for everyone because those funds designated for
new roadway construction were diverted away from the purpose for which they were
collected. He believed that the total travel cost on a toll road will be higher projected by
Interwe~t. He asked why they would allow the toll road project to go forward when
everyone was opposed to more taxes. He noted that toll roads were ten times less efficient
than regular highways. He believed the political ramifications of this project should be

dealt with at the state level not the local level with MnDOT coming in with inducements
or incentives to get the roadway through. He emphasized that they should send a message
to the State Legislature to use their money wisely and come up with a way to get Highway
212 built as a regular roadway. Rush complimented the Council members on being most
receptive to hearing the input from the citizens, returning phone calls and responding to
inquiries from citizens and the press.

ll. OVERVIEW OF 1997 PROPOSED BUDGET
City Manager Jullie said Staff will present a summary of the General Fund budget and a
review of the Enterprise Funds. Staff has been working on measuring efficiency and
effectiveness of services and presenting a break-out of the total costs. He noted that
representatives from Southwest Metro are present because we will be levying the transit
service tax this year. He then reviewed the format of the two documents presenting the
1997 proposed budget.
Jullie then presented an overview of the objectives developed at the previous budget
workshop that included goals to reduce the tax on a median value home to less than 6%,
to keep departmental operating budgets at the current year levels except for certain
inflationary adjustments, to budget capital items separately and begin to develop a capital
maintenance and improvement plan, to provide additional staff to maintain the current
level of service, to ensure the budget model continues to reflect a balance while limiting

future tax increases, and to continue the policy of not using the fund balance to pay for
operating expenses.
Assistant City Manager Chris Enger reviewed changes since the July 23rd workshop
meeting. He explained the assumptions used to develop the five-year model.
Director of Public Works Dietz reviewed the utility budget revenue and expense
projections, noting that Staff proposes a 5 cent increase in water rates for 1997.
Harris asked Dietz to explain the term "cooling degree days." Dietz said this is a number
published by the weather service for use as an indicator of temperatures during the
summer.
Tyra-Lukens asked if it is true that even by increasing the rates, we still don't have
revenues covering expenses. Dietz said we are building a new water plant to service
anticipated population, and we have an increase in staffing to operate the new facility
along with increased expenses to operate it. He noted that the anticipated deficit decreases
each year from -$231,825 in 1996 to -$12,683 in 2001.
Director of Inspections Kevin Schmieg presented charts showing the cost of services for
his department. He explained how they measure their performance in terms of the demand
for services, efficiency and effectiveness and their goals for program performance. After
his presentation, the Council agreed that this is a good format for other departments to use
in determining cost of services and performance measurement.
Harris asked Schmieg how performance is measured in the department. Schmieg said they
used focus groups and expect that this will provide benchmarks as they go forward. Enger
said they are working with other department heads to develop similar material.
Finance Director John Frane reviewed the Liquor Store budget. They expect the new Cub
store to be operational in 1997 and expect sales to be up 12 % over the 1996 figures. Case
asked if cigarettes account for 10% of gross sales. Frane said yes, they net $15,000 to
$20,000 per year on cigarette sales.
Director of Assessing Steve Sinell showed an overhead of the proposed Truth in Taxation
notice. He reviewed the paragraph on the notice explaining that the City's tax for 1997
includes a specific amount for transit services. He said the County would not agree to
show a split amount for the City tax and the Transit tax because there is no legislation
enabling the breakout of those two figures.
Harris asked if there is any way to include a flyer in the statements because she thought
people would not understand the statement or read the explanation. Case thought they
should rephrase the word "option" because that makes it sound like it was our idea. Harris
thought we should expand and carefully reword the four line explanation and put an
asterisk by the % amount.
CITY COUNCIL/STAFF WORKSHOP

Sinell said he talked to the County this afternoon and asked about the possibility of
including an insert. He said they could not include an insert because the notices go out
presorted by where the notice is sent, not the property address. He suggested that we
could mail some sort of information.
George Bentley, representing Southwest Metro, said they will continue to work with the
County to come up with a better description. Thorfinnson noted we also discussed
educating the public about this and Southwest Metro agreed to provide that education.
Bentley said they have a plan to accomplish that.
The consensus of the Council was that Sinell should continue to work with Jullie,
Southwest Metro and Hennepin County to come up with a better version of the statement.

VOTE ON HIGHWAY 212 TOLL ROAD PROPOSAL
Mayor Harris opened the meeting with the following statement:
For the past three months, this City Council has listened attentively to the voices of Eden
Prairie, both pro and con, on the construction of Highway 212 as a Toll Road. Tonight
is not a Public Hearing, rather it is an opportunity for the Council to express its concerns,
its views, and its decision on this issue.
When first advised that the InterWest proposal was the only surviving response to
MnDOT's Request for Proposals, the Council devised a schedule of open houses, town
meetings, public hearings, guest opinions and letters to the editor, designed to insure
maximum dissemination of information and participation for all Eden Prairie residents who
wish to voice an opinion. In spite of misdirected criticism to the contrary, the process has
been open, inclusive, and deliberative. In spite of exhortations to rush to early judgement,
this Council has held to its original schedule in order that it have maximum information
and input as we proceed to individually and, as a group, deliberate and decide. Eden
Prairie citizens have had access to all the same information, all the same data, all the
same presentations, all the same testimony, as the five members of this Council. Tonight
we conclude this lengthy process.
Personally, I have heard many voices during these three months. Voices of anger, of
anguish, of disbelief, of concern, of hope, of reason, and yes, even some unreasonable
voices and threats. I have not only heard but listened to their content and to their emotion.

I have assimilated what I believe to be the core legitimate concerns.
I have spent a great deal of time sifting fact from fiction in order to make a clear and
reasoned decision. I have struggled with enormous expenditures of time and energy and
dollars of previous community leaders, Councilmembers, and staff, in defining this
corridor and trying to get it funded. I have struggled with our community's distaste for
the concept of tolls -period. I have struggled with the issue of whether it is better to
swallow hard, hold your nose, and take the plunge, against the real risk of absolute
gridlock on our few through streets and the potential for never having this road built if we
don't take advantage of this immediate opportunity.
It has not been easy to come to the conclusion and decision driving my vote tonight. For
it is clear to me that with continued devolvement of responsibility from national to state
to local level, with continuing attempts to reduce the national debt and to contain costs at
the State level, that the easy days of Federal/State partnerships in the construction of
highways are over. And not over only for highway construction, but for issues of health,
education, social services, as well. Our State will be hard pressed to replace these dollars
and, in many instances, it will not.
For these reasons, my view of the future includes the real possibility of alternative
funding, not only for new highway construction, but for maintenance and replacement of
existing roadways. I fear that in spite of our communal dislike of tollways, some form of
volume or congestion pricing or user fees are a part of all of our future.
Acknowledging that, I have struggled with my personal discomfort with several issues
surrounding our decision tonight. The two most difficult for me are first, the absence of
a clearly articulated State strategy on use and kind of alternative funding strategies for
future highway construction throughout the State, and secondly, the process the Legislature
has put in place for voting new highway construction up or down.
As early as 1993, the Legislature passed, and Governor Arne Carlson signed into law, a
measure authorizing MnDOT or road authorities in Minnesota to develop, finance, design,
construct, improve, rehabilitate, own and operate toll facilities, and to enter into agreement
with private operators for the construction, maintenance, and operation of toll facilities.
To this date, and through the Tuesday, August 27 Public Hearing, I have yet to hear
MnDOT clearly state that tollways are a component of the overall State strategy for both
the Arrowhead, the southwest corridor, the Pipestone area, the Minnesota River Valley,
or even the toe of the Minnesota boot. As to the second issue, if the road were to be
constructed from St. Paul to Cologne, each community through which it passed, would
have the option of vetoing it. Thus, if nine out of ten communities and counties and
governmental entities wanted it but one did not, the road would not be constructed. To
me this seems a poor and unrealistic way to make regional and State policy, and I would
suggest that this legislation needs to be revisited and, perhaps, revised.
So, I have been stuck on the horns of a real dilemma. This road is needed; I have
problems with the process. I have driven this City in the early morning hours, in the
2.
EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

middle of the day, and in the evening rush hours. There is no question that a new route
is needed to the southwest corridor. Our City of cul-de-sacs was built on the premise that
a new 212 is to be constructed. We could open some of these cul-de-sacs at great expense
and great disruption to our current City residents. But this is highly unlikely. This means,
therefore, that this and future Councils will and must insist on opening the remaining 37
stub cul-de-sacs to more evenly distribute our internal traffic. And even then, I fear that
there will still be clear and convincing evidence that this roadway is needed.
Tonight I am going to ask you, my fellow Councilmembers, to separate the need for the
road from its financing. I am going to ask you to reaffirm our support for the construction
of Highway 212, in a motion separate and apart from a subsequent vote on the proposal
for its construction as a toll road. Following this vote, we will proceed to a discussion on
the merits of the construction of Highway 212 as a toll road.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, that the Eden Prairie City Council send
a strong message to MNDoT, the state legislative leaders and Governor Carlson that we support
the need for a new Highway 212 along the corridor as has been proposed, and that we request the
very earliest construction of the highway regardless of the outcome of the vote on the financing
plan. Motion carried unanimously.
Each Council member then read a statement. Council member Thorfinnson I s statement follows:
During the course of the last several months, I have had the opportunity to hear from many
people in regards to this issue. Even today, people were calling to voice their opinions.
I can say for certain, this is an emotional issue. I'm not sure there is anyone in Eden
Prairie, if not the state of Minnesota, without an opinion.
Several weeks ago, the City Council discussed cutting short the debate and taking a vote
on the issue. At that time, I strongly advocated for allowing the established process to
continue. I felt that there were many people who had not had the opportunity to express
their feelings, and that has proven to be the case.
I have heard from more people during the last several weeks than in all the weeks and
months preceding. I want to thank everyone that has contacted me either by mail or by
phone. My apologies for not getting back to all of you, but the calls and letters were
overwhelming. I can assure you that I read every letter and listened to every message.
Some have said we dragged our feet on this issue, and that we should have voted it down
immediately. We did what we always do. We allowed a proponent to bring forward a
proposal, we gathered information, opened it up to public input, got questions and
concerns answered, and have carefully weighed all of that information. This proposal has
received more time and public input, than any other issue during my time on this council.
This is the process at work.
Thank God for the process. Much of my education about this issue and the toll road
process has occurred during the last three weeks. I have been able to answer most of my
EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 3, 1996
Page 4
concerns and have received information and input I never would have had. It has clarified
my position on the issue and led me to make the decision I have made. I want to address
some of my feeling and concerns about this issue.
First, let there be no mistake in anyone's mind that I am a supporter of and will continue
to be an advocate for the building of Hwy. 212. Having lived in this city for more than
19 years, I have seen many of the changes that have come with growth. One change
obviously is the increase in traffic. It will get worse. How much worse? Who knows,
the estimates vary, but it's a safe bet that it will get worse. Without a new Hwy. 212,
Eden Prairie will strangle on traffic trying to get to or from Minneapolis from the west.
The route for Hwy. 212 has long been established, much of the right of way in Eden
Prairie has been purchased and development has been guided with that route in mind,
including Miller Park. We will continue to develop along that corridor with the eventual
building of Hwy. 212 included in all of the City's planning.
Some have suggested that the State Legislature has abdicated its responsibility in regards
to this toll road proposal. At one point, even I felt that way. After careful thought, I am
very reluctant to lay that on the Legislature. Local governments have long sought more
local control in regards to decision making and the spending of money. If anything, the
one good thing that came out of this legislation was the local veto power. The veto
prevents MnDot and the State Legislature from pushing anything down the throat of the
local government.
However, the Hwy. 212 toll road is not just a local issue. Bob Lindahl, in his opening
comments last week, said it is a regional problem, that perhaps it should even by viewed
as a state issue, not just a problem of Chaska, Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. And, ...
therein lies the rub. If anything, all of the communities west of here should have had the
ability to vote on this toll road, with its approval based on the majority's decision. But,
even that process would have its flaws.
The issue of toll roads in Minnesota is indeed a statewide issue. In Eden Prairie we are
being told that Hwy. 212 will not be built within the next 20 years using traditional
funding methods. There is no more money they say. And, ... when you listen to their
arguments there is not enough money currently allocated to highway construction to build
or upgrade every highway on the list. But, you need to dig a little deeper to get to the
scoop.
There is approximately $400,000,000 available for highway construction statewide. That's
what is remaining out of the $900,000,000 per year allocated to highway financing, the
balance going to operations and maintenance of highways. By state law one half of the
$400,000,000 is spent out-state, which leaves just $200,000,000 for highway construction,
new and upgraded, in the metro area on an annual basis. Not enough money to make a
dent in the highway needs of the metro area. Projects, therefore, are scheduled and need
regional approval before funding is allocated. They can sit on a wish list for years without
receiving the approval and funding to go forward. Or worse yet, decisions are made on
----------~~-~-------------------..
EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 3, 1996
Page 5
a piecemeal basis, handing out the small amount of money available across the metro area
to pacify the greatest number of people. I submit that that is a poor way to make regional
and statewide transportation decisions.
Several factors have combined to create this funding crisis.
There is less Federal money available for highway construction than in the past.
The per gallon gas tax revenues have dropped as cars have become more efficient.
The mandated use of ethanol has further reduced the gas tax revenues because no tax
is collected on ethanol.
To further the crisis, beginning July I, 1996, all of the revenues from the sales tax on
motor vehicles, approximately $332,000,000, will be redirected to the state's general
fund.
Transportation now needs to compete with other funding priorities for it's own money
from the general fund.
No matter how you look at it, a toll road is a tax. Some call it a user fee. I say we
already have the ultimate user fee, the gas tax. Does it need to be increased? Is it being
spent wisely? The gas tax should be revisited and these and other questions answered.
We reside in a state where taxes are among the highest in the nation. We already pay high
property taxes, we already pay high income taxes and we already have a 6.5 % sales tax.
There is plenty of money, we are choosing to spend it on something other than highway
construction. Let's examine our priorities, spend our money wisely and make some tough
choices.
If highway construction is deemed to be such a low priority that funds are not to be
available, then perhaps toll roads are the only way. No one has convinced me that we are
at that point. If we are, then the State Legislature MnDot and the Governor have done a
very poor job of communicating that position.
Highway 494 and its expansion to three lanes to Carlson Parkway and to Highway 100 is
critical to Eden Prairie and the other south and west suburbs. The twice daily gridlock on
494 would only be made worse by a new Hwy. 212 and the upgrading of Hwy. 5. And,
the fact that there will only be a temporary upgrading of the interchange at Hwy. 494 and
Hwy. 169 further complicates the issue. We are happy to see that MnDot has committed
to adding a third lane on Hwy 494 from Hwy. 212 to Hwy. 100 but it is only a temporary
solution, a full rebuild is absolutely necessary. Another example of the hit and miss
planning and funding that is being used.
In conclusion, no matter how I vote there will be many unhappy people. In the short run,
there is no question that we as a city with some difficulty can survive without Hwy. 212.
In the long run, it is clear that highway improvements will be necessary as we deal with
the ever increasing traffic. Either position leaves someone dissatisfied. I am sorry for
that. As always I have made my decision based on what I think is best for the community.
s
EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 3, 1996

The question is; what is the community?
In this case the State Legislature, MNDot and the Governor have made the region if not
the State of Minnesota, the community. In that light, and with a tremendous amount of
thought, I must vote to veto the current Hwy. 212 toll road proposal.
By doing so, I am sending this issue back to the State Legislature, MnDot and particularly
the Governor of the State of Minnesota and asking them to revisit the issue of highway
construction funding and either allocate the money necessary to fund highway construction
in a fiscally responsible manner or make the case for toll roads and be out front, on the
firing line, stating that position.
Once again thank you all for your input.
Councilmember Pidcock's statement:
My thirteen years spent working on the Southwest Corridor Transportation Commission
leads me to believe that this is the only opportunity Eden Prairie residents will have to get
stop-light free lanes on Hwy. 5 from County Road 4 to Hwy. 494.
The passions on both sides of this issue remind me of my arrival in Minnesota 38 years
ago when the raging issue of the day was, then as now, urban versus rural. At that time
the issue was, should we or should we not have "day-light" saving time. Rural people said
if we would have day-light saving time the time clocks of the cows and chickens would
be haywire. Thirty eight years later the chickens are laying eggs, the cows are supplying
milk and day-light saving time is on a regular national schedule.
The people here today who are opposed to this roadway brought the city to my doorstep.
You have made us urban. I would like not to have to put up with the traffic congestion
created by 46,000 people living in this community. I have been elected to put policies in
place that are in the best interest and for the long-term welfare of the city. Sometimes it
is necessary to do what is not popular. Like a parent who has a child throwing a temper
tantrum, you don't give into that temper but allow it to subside and later deal with reason.
Knowing that a road is needed and that there are no funds available under usual means to
build that road creates a dilemma. MNDoT suggested a toll road and held open bidding
for those wishing an opportunity to bid to do so. A toll concept is a radical change in
thinking for Minnesotans. We have been told there is no money to build a freeway. It is
either a toll road or no road. I have visited with a number of legislators who are on the
Transportation Committee and they assure me there is no money. Must we mandate that
people use our public transportation system and ride share to use the highways? When
those of you who are opposed to a new road have relocated will you care about the traffic
problems of Eden Prairie?
I have received hundreds of letters in support and in opposition to this project. Some of
my best friends have called in opposition. The facts of the project have been distorted and
the truth shaded so that I know that many people are making false assumptions regarding
EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 3, 1996
Page 7
what would or would not occur in the construction period. I know with certainty that there
will be retribution to the City of Eden Prairie by other agencies for our failure to accept
this opportunity and it will be fifteen or twenty more years before we get this needed
transportation spoke.
I'd briefly like to mention my position on the legislature placing this home rule project in
my lap. I'm a mature person with wisdom and discernment and have always believed that
one should have the courage to deal with and make a decision on what comes down the
pike. I have not seen any legislator here, except Tom Workman, who seemed to have the
slightest interest in our area or what is going on here.
With my 13 years of work on Hwy 5 and Hwy 212 I therefore vote that it is in the best
interests of our city to allow the road to proceed.
Pidcock noted that she had received an opinion from the Attorney General that she could vote on
this matter.
Mayor Harris' statement:
In my opening statement, I identified my two major concerns with the proposal before us. They
are: the absence of a clearly defined State strategy for the utilization of toll roads as the or one
among many methods of new highway construction, and the process for approval of highways.
I will add to that a third one, and that is the absence of regional strategy that assists in a more
positive way the impact of traffic flowing to and through Eden Prairie from the south and west.
Such a strategy would include construction of additional lanes to distribute traffic both north and
east on 494, and would reduce the dumping that will occur with increased traffic coming from the
south and west on Highway 212.
I have lived in the east where tolls are fairly common. I have found them to be a minor
inconvenience. I have also lived in communities where tolls have been removed when the
payment for the construction was completed. I, therefore, have a slightly different perspective
than many people who have spoken so vividly and strongly about the use of tollways.
However, what is offered to us tonight is not truly a regional strategy for a local and regional
problem. Traffic will still be bottle-necked in Eden Prairie. We need redistribution both north
to 394 and east to 100 to eliminate the difficulty encountered today on 394 where the lanes go
from three to two, back to three lanes.
I am also discomforted with the decision process. In the long run, as elected officials, we must
demonstrate both leadership and responsiveness. Putting aside the organized resistance, the
preponderance of calls, letters and personal intercessions over the last several weeks have led me
to understand that the true opposition is not to the road, but to the idea and concept of tolls. We
have just reaffirmed our position in strong construction of the roadway. As an elected
representative of the residents of Eden Prairie, I am going to vote NO to the proposal before us.
I do not take this step lightly. In fact, I struggled even last evening with my knowledge of the
need of the road versus the philosophy of tolling. I have received many calls and letters from
EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 3, 1996
Page 8
elected officials, from residents and businesses and communities south and west of us. I share
their need and concern that the road be built as soon as possible, and yet it appears to me that a
flawed process should not proceed further.
I encourage our Legislature to revisit the language of the current legislation. I encourage MnDOT
to state clearly and unequivocally its position on use of this method of financing of new highway
construction. I encourage all those residents who have devoted so much time to educating,
counseling, voicing opinions to the Council, to now turn your attention to our State Legislature-
especially those on committees which make decisions regarding highway and transportation
funding.
Eden Prairie will not, and cannot, be the expedient experiment. Eden Prairie will not, and
cannot, be the sole toll road in the State of Minnesota.
Council member Tyra-Lukens' statement:
As you have heard, this has been a very difficult issue for all of us. I want to thank all of
you for all your phone calls, letters, and statements made at our forums. I considered all
the opinions presented, but I am sorry that I was unable to return all the calls just due to
the sheer volume. Thank you for your involvement in the process.
And thank you also for the fact that you are sticking around to hear what I have to say
even thought you are mentally tallying up the votes and know that the issue has failed!
My position has been obvious to anyone who has read the paper in the last few weeks.
You have invested a great deal of time in this issue and many of my concerns with this
project and process have now been voiced by Mayor Harris and Council member
Thorfinnson so I won't go over them now.
I just have a few brief comments to make. First for those who wish this were to pass.
After all we in Eden Prairie probably won't use it and it will help take traffic off our local
highways. My fear is that if we open the door to toll roads then eventually improvements
to 494 and Crosstown may be made through making them toll roads. Then we will find
ourselves in the situation that we cannot leave Eden Prairie without taking toll roads.
Also, as you know, a significant amount of state funding is going into this road. Will
those in St. Paul look upon this as our fair share of the transportation funding pot, and not
allocate us money to improve the free roads that those of us in Eden Prairie do drive?
We have been asked, "isn't this the kind of local control that city governments are asking
for?" I would argue that this is neither the project nor the process for local control. This
is not a situation where the state is giving us our share of transportation funding and saying
spend this as you see fit on transportation. We do not hold the purse strings or the control
in this situation. Furthermore, transportation is a system, and not a closed system at that,
so local control is not sensible. As we have said, most Eden Prairie residents would not
use this road. It will be used by those west of us driving through. And they are not
getting input into this decision!
EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 3, 1996
Page 9
As a statewide issue the legislature should be deciding on this toll road as part of an
equitable, overall, long term, clearly articulated approach to highway funding. For these
and many other reasons I will vote in opposition to the toll road.
Council member Case's statement:
Eden Prairie today is a truly great place to live. We're populated by nearly 50,000 people
who have chosen to live here for the suburban experience, great schools, an excellent park
system, and an over-all high quality of life.
Basically, we're successful people, with good jobs, above average priced homes,
townhouses, and apartments and a rather positive outlook on life. We're also very
generous. We acknowledge our blessings. Our community sustains more than a dozen
churches, participates in Habitat for Humanity and countless other service projects and
shares millions of our tax dollars with other less fortunate communities around the 7
county metro area. Government should not punish this kind of success.
On the contrary, Government should hold up the Eden Prairies of the state as shining
examples of how it is supposed to work.
So, why then, are we perceived as being insensitive to the needs of the core cities for no
other reason than that we don't share some of their problems? Why are we threatened by
government agencies with additional losses of our hard earned tax dollars if we don't raise
our densities, crowd our streets, and pack kids into our schools? Why are we asked to pay
into the construction of everyone else's highways, but then asked to build our own?
I think the residents of Eden Prairie are tired and frustrated. We're tired of being
punished for our successes.
We're tired of being the lowest of priorities, except when it comes to collecting our
money.
We're tired of the unfair treatment, the inadequate representation at the legislature, and
the lack of positive recognition for all of the good that we do for this region.
It is within this climate that the 212 tollway concept has arisen.
This tollway, not the road, is a bad idea for a lot of reasons.
One is that I don't believe Minnesotans want tollways. Therefore the State Legislature has
one of three options: Allow our state highway system to fall apart, raise the gas tax, or
initiate a system of tollways throughout the state over the objections of most of the people.
Either way, it is the state's responsibility to choose the course we should go.
Another reason to vote against the tollway is that MNDot has some serious prioritizing
problems that need to be addressed. For decades roads have been built with a lot less
q
EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 3, 1996
Page 10
demonstrated need than the 50,000 cars projected daily to drive on 212. Roads built with
tax dollars, some of which came from Eden Prairie.
As a legislator I would vote against this particular proposal because all other funding
alternatives have not been exhausted. As a Minnesotan I would vote it down because we
have set a quality of life standard in Minnesota that doesn't have room for tollways. And
as an Eden Prairian, I am going to case my vote against this tollway on behalf of all of our
frustrated taxpayers, who just don't understand how government can punish people who
are doing what is right.
We work hard, we pay a lot in taxes, we support people allover the region and the state,
we vote in high percentages, we pass our education and park referendums: In short, we've
placed our faith, hope and trust in a system that is now slamming a door in our face. And
I am really angry about that.
Citizens deserve better from their government. To ask the southwestern suburbs to fund
the construction themselves of a highway that is clearly recognized as a high priority for
people in the entire southwestern quadrant of the state is nothing short of an outrage.
So, on behalf of the people of Eden Prairie, I say, "Enough is enough." I say no to this
type of unfair treatment, I say no to double taxation, and I say no to bad government. But
I don't plan to just go away silently.
In fact I pledge myself to become a very noisy advocate for Eden Prairie, for government
not punishing success, for parity in highway construction spending, for honoring Eden
Prairie's contributions to the region and the state. And I challenge our legislators to
become as visible in advocating for Eden Prairie as Myron Orfield has so effectively done
for his constituents in Minneapolis.
I am prepared in my heart for 212 not to be built for a long time. But I hope that the
Legislature and the Met Council will come to their senses and bring us back a new 212
project much sooner rather than later. I also hope they will begin to celebrate the
successes evident in the lives of the people who live in Eden Prairie and would stop
punishing the very success that government seeks from its citizens.
I am so proud of Eden Prairie and the people who live here. I am proud of our
accomplishments as individuals and as a city. And even though the majority of us would
like to see a 212 funded by tax dollars, I believe the great majority of Eden Prairie
residents do not want 212 at the inordinately unfair high price of it being a tollway. With
a clear conscience and vision for our future, I will vote "Yes" this evening to veto the 212
tollway proposal.

Enger said this project is for construction of the third liquor store in Eden Prairie.
He introduced Mike Wilkus who reviewed the proposal.
Pidcock asked what the difficulty is in leasing the 7000 square foot area. Wilkus
said they just engaged the leasing agent about a month go. Pidcock was concerned
about approving such a large area and not having the income from a tenant. Enger
said we will work at the construction estimates, the bidding, and the leasing.
Enger said the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this

proposal at its August 26, 1996 meeting, subject to the Staff Report of August 23.
The main item of concern was the significant trees on the site. Although we will
be using only about 17% of the site, there will be a significant change in the site
when it is graded. We will save the trees along the perimeter and will replace as
many as possible on the site.
The Parks Commission did not review the project.
Pidcock asked about the size of the significant trees. Enger said there are some ash
trees in excess of 12 inches. Pidcock then asked what the life span of that size tree
would be. Enger said they could live to be 100 years old. Pidcock was concerned
that we would make the same mistake as on the comer of Mitchell and Anderson
Lakes Parkway. She would like to see us retain as much old growth as we can.
Enger said we will retain about seven of the large significant trees.
Thorfinnson asked about the size of the sign for the project and questioned why is
it okay to put a sculpture on this building but it wasn't okay for the Big Woods
project. Enger said the sign is measured in accordance with the sign ordinance.
Wilkus said the sculpture is not physically attached to the building. Tyra-Lukens
thought the sculpture was an important architectural element. Enger said we need
to be consistent and should make this similar to the ones at Doolittle's and Ciatti's.
There were no comments from the audience.

Jay Jasper, representing proponent, reviewed the proposal for ten townhomes with
prices in the $225,000 to $275,000 range.
Enger said the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this
project at its August 12, 1996 meeting, subject to the recommendations of the
August 9, 1996, Staff Report.
Lambert said the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission
recommended approval on a 3-1 vote at the August 19, 1996 meeting.

C. MITCHELL BAY TWIN HOMES by Noecker and Associates. Request for
Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Low Density Residential to Medium
Density Residential on .75 acres, Zoning District Change from RM-2.5 and RI-22
to RM-6.5 on 1.5 acres, Site Plan Review on 1.5 acres and Preliminary Plat on 1.5
acres. Location: Terrey Pine Drive. (Resolution 96-148 for Comprehensive Guide
Plan Change, Ordinance for Zoning District Change from RM-2.5 and RI-22 to
RM-6.5 and Resolution 96-149 for Preliminary Plat)
Randy Noecker, representing proponent, reviewed the project for two twin home
buildings. He said several variances are being applied for and there are three
easements required for the project.
Enger said the Planning Commission voted 6 -0 to approve this project at its
August 12, 1996 meeting, subject to the recommendations of the August 9 Staff
Report. There are variances with regard to shoreland that will need to be reviewed
by the Board of Appeals and Adjustments. The Guide Plan calls for middle density
on the east part and low density on the west side of the property. The twin home
development would be a reasonable use of the property.
The Parks Commission did not review the project.
Tyra-Lukens liked the fact that the significant trees are saved on this project but
was uncomfortable with the variances on the shoreland ordinance. She asked if the
ten units the property is currently guided for could be put on the property without
variances. Enger said there was no site plan developed with ten units, but it would
have to be a multi-family unit. Tyra-Lukens said she would like to understand
what the hardship is and if all the barriers were there when it was purchased.
Noecker said all of the things were there when he purchased the property.
Tyra-Lukens asked what is entailed in proving hardship. Enger said they look at
the conditions on the site that are unique to the site which would cause
unreasonable restriction of the property if all the requirements of the ordinance
were followed.
Noecker said they looked at a plan that would get about eight units on the parcel
ILl

but it would be out of character with the neighborhood. He thought that an eight-
unit building might be within the requirements for the shoreland ordinance.
Thorfinnson asked if we are being asked to approve the variances tonight. Enger
said the Board of Appeals would review the variances, but only if the Council
approves the project tonight.
Harris did not have a problem with the setbacks, and she thought an effort had
been made to blend the project with the existing neighborhood and to make it a
quality project. She was unclear about how many of the current limiting physical
conditions were there when the land was purchased. Enger believed all the
conditions were there. He noted all of the conditions for the variances could be
met if the property for these units were to be owned in common so that there was
only one lot.
Case asked why the process has the project brought to the Council first before it
is reviewed by the Board of Appeals. Enger said sometimes it does go to them
first. Proponent could appeal the decision of the Board of Appeals if they reverse
the decision of the Council. Case said he was concerned about the precedence for
more variances. Noecker said he originally showed a five-unit plan with one
structure but decided against that because it is difficult to market the internal units.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Case, to close the Public Hearing; to
adopt Resolution 96-148 for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Low Density
Residential to Medium Density Residential on .75 acres; to approve lst Reading
of the Ordinance for Rezoning from RM-2.5 and Rl-22 to RM-6.5 on 1.54 acres;
to adopt Resolution 96-149 for Preliminary Plat Approval on 1.54 acres; and to

Enger said the Planning Commission reviewed the project at the August 12, 1996,
meeting and recommended approval on a 6-0 vote, subject to the recommendations
of the Staff Report dated August 9. He noted the area was originally reserved for
office construction, hence the request for waivers in the Industrial District to be
mostly office.
Lambert said the Parks Commission reviewed the project at the August 19, 1996,
meeting and recommended approval on a 4-0 vote, contingent on the condition that
the soft surface trail be relocated by Equitable Life to a site suitable for pedestrian
traffic to the existing soft surface trail along Purgatory Creek.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to close the Public
Hearing; to adopt Resolution 96-150 for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from
Office to Industrial on 6.42 acres; to adopt Resolution 96-151 for PUD Concept
Amendment on 100 acres; to approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for Zoning

waivers on 6.42 acres; to adopt Resolution 96-152 for Preliminary Plat approval
of 20.5 acres into 1 lot and 2 outlots; and to direct Staff to prepare a Development
Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations. Motion
carried unanimously.
Ulstad said they had originally requested an early grading permit but they probably
will not be able to begin construction this fall anyway so they do not need the
permit.

Claude Johnson and John Dietrich, representing proponent, reviewed the request
to approve a subdivision to readjust the lot line so that a lot can be sold to Starkey
Labs.
Enger said the Planning Commission reviewed the project at the August 12, 1996,

of the Staff Report of August 9, 1996.
The project was not reviewed by the Parks Commission.

VU. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
A. RESOLUTION 96-155 ADOPTING 1997 PROPOSED TAX LEVY AND
ACCEPTING 1997 PROPOSED BUDGET
Jullie said the resolution certifies the maximum tax levy for 1997, sets the Truth-
in-Taxation hearing dates for December 4, and, if necessary, December 16, 1996,
and accepts the 1997 Proposed Budget that was reviewed at the Council/Staff
Workshop earlier this evening.
Harris asked if this is a net levy on tax capacity and a levy on market value. Jullie
said the legislature made some changes a few years ago whereby certain referenda
such as Park Referenda have to be spread against market value of the property
whereas other tax levies go on tax capacity, which is a formula that skews the
burden towards commercial property.
MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Tyra-Lukens, to approve Resolution
96-155 adopting the City's Proposed 1997 Property Tax Levy, setting the dates for
the Truth-In-Taxation hearings, and accepting the Proposed Budget for General
Operations and Tax Supported Obligations for 1997. Motion carried
unanimously.
B. RESOLUTION 96-156 ADOPTING mE 1997 PROPOSED WCAL
TRANSIT SERVICE TAX LEVY
Jullie noted the City Council has determined that the levy for transit service shall
become a local responsibility because of the major benefits to the community in
terms of being able to keep a substantial portion of the revenue from the transit
operation. The Council is being asked to certify the proposed 1997 Net Local

Stu Fox thanked the members of the Task Force for their work. and said
they found out that things are going very well. We are actually gaining tree
cover as we become more developed. Fox reviewed the September 3,
1996, report from the Task Force, noting the City Attorney suggested that
several of the issues be formulated into a policy to see how they work.
Those issues included the recommendation that trees be replaced with
similar species, that in some cases saving masses of trees is as important as
saving a few large significant trees, that there be a goal to minimize the loss
of large significant trees in areas of remnant pieces of big woods, and that
there be a policy and criteria established to allow a tree to be nominated for
Exceptional Tree designation. Fox said both the Planning Commission and
the Parks Commission have unanimously recommended Council approval
of the report.

Case noted the Task Force was not part of the discussion regarding
Exceptional Tree designation and asked if the designation must be part of
the development project or if the designation can occur before a project is
proposed. Fox said it would come with a development proposal. Case
thought the Heritage Preservation Commission is eligible to designate trees
as part of the CLG project. He asked if it would help to alert City residents
to let Staff know about such trees so that we could begin an inventory list.
Fox said we have a list that people have called in.
Case suggested Staff prepare a map with the location of such trees for the
Council to use when development projects come through.
Pidcock asked if significant trees on projects such as the Mitchell property
could have been saved had we known the size ahead of time. Fox said they
did a tree survey, and 90% of the significant trees there were cottonwood,
with one or two oaks and basswoods. If the trees are damaged or diseased,
they are not included in the count.
Thorfinnson asked if the oak tree at Research, Inc. would qualify as a
significant tree. Case and Tyra-Lukens thought it should be put on the list.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to approve the Tree
Preservation Task Force Report as per the Staff agenda report of September

DATE: SEPT. 4, 1996
SUBJECT: DIVISION OF LOT AND PROGRAM CHANGE FOR THE 3 GROUP
HOMES IN THE PRESERVE
BackiUound
In 1976 Louise Witbeck Fraser School, Inc., received approval to construct 3 residential
homes for the mentally retarded on one tract ofland. The land was zoned RM 6.5 and
is located in the northeast comer of Anderson Lakes Parkway and Preserve Boulevard.
These homes have also been referred to as the Muriel Humphrey Residences.
In 1995 the homes were placed on the market as potential single family structures(no
continuation of programs). The sales were to assist in the construction of group homes
elsewhere in the City. The homes did not sell as single family.
Present
The request before the City is to do a simple subdivision of the 4 acre tract into 3 lots
to facilitate the sale of each home separately. It is the staffs' understanding that
lots 2 & 3 will be utilized for the A Better Chance Program(ABC). ABC is a program
which provides opportunities for deserving students. Lot 1 will undergo remodeling
for an Alzheimers care home. Operators for each of these programs will be responsible for
obtaining any County or State approvals.
The proposed lots' width, depth, size, etc., meet city code requirements.
The programs outlined to the City staff appear consistent with past approvals on the site.
and city code.
Action
The Community Development and Engineering Departments recommend approval of the
subdivision according to Sec.12.60,Subd.2, of the City Code.

REPLY TO MINNEAPOUS OFFICE
I have received the proposed changes to the Eden Prairie Firefighter's Relief Association
By-Laws. As I understand, the Association membership approved these changes as early as
March 14, 1996. I assume that the proper notice was given pursuant to Article XII of the
Association By-Laws and that the required voting procedures were followed in adopting the
amendment.
Under Article XII of the Association By-Laws, the amendment must still be approved by
the Eden Prairie City Council. Subsequent approval by the City Council is not intended to make
this process overly complicated. Rather, this requirement is an attempt to satisfy existing statutes
governing volunteer firefighter's associations.
It is not clear from the statute whether a minor procedural change such as that recently
approved by the Association membership must be approved by the City Council. However, to
promote consistency and to avoid any future problems, it is advisable to take this extra measure
required under Article XII of the Association By-Laws. In any event, the approval by the City
Council would be a routine matter accomplished fairly quickly. You should add this matter to
the Council's agenda at your convenience.

Attached is a list received from Hennepin County Certified as Non Conservation Classification List
942-NC. These properties have been pronounced tax forfeit to the State of Minnesota for non payment of
property taxes. As provided in State Statue 282, Hennepin County has requested The City to make a
recommendation as to the disposal of these three land parcels. The City can either approve the parcels for
public auction, approve the parcels for sale to the adjacent property owner, withhold the properties from
auction for one year, or request conveyance of the property to the City for public use. The list of three
parcels of property is described as follows:
Parcel PIN Description Pending Specials
I 04-116-22-31-0066 Outlot A, Edenvale 14th Addition 0
2 04-116-22-34-0091 Outlot A, Massee Addition 0
3. 06-116-22-22-0096 Outlot B except HWY, Hidden Glen 3rd o
BACKGROUND:
The staff has reviewed these three parcels and has looked at the potential use of the parcels for public
purposes. The staff feels that all three of these parcels do have use for public purposes and they would be
as follows:
Parcel #1 is a parcel that was created during Edenvale 14th Addition; however, it was of insufficient size
and frontage as a lot. This parcel could be combined with the unplatted property to the west at some future
time.
Parcel #2 is a parcel ofland adjacent to Outlot G of Eden vale 3rd Addition. Outlot G has a City well house
and a mini park located on it.
Parcel #3 is a parcel ofland adjacent to Highway 101 and runs parallel to the highway right-of-way at the
101 curve adjacent to the ChanhassenlEden Prairie border.
Staff recommends that since each of these parcels is desired to have some form of public ownership, the
most prudent way of handling them is as follows:
1
Parcels #1 and #2 request conveyance of these two parcels of forfeited land to the City of Eden Prairie for
inclusion in our public open space. Parcel #1 may be given back to the County at some future date for sale
when the John Anderson property submits a development plan. Parcel #2 would be included as a
contiguous portion of Outlot G and would add to the area already controlled for the public open space in
the Edenvale area.
Parcel #3 is being currently sought by the Hennepin County Right-of-Way Department as future right-of-
way in conjunction with the expansion of Highway 101, west of Dell Road. Staff would recommend that
the City Council encourage that the County Land Right-of-Way Department pickup this parcel ofland to
incorporate it in the future roadway plans.
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution authorizing the disposal of these three
parcels as outlined in this memo.

Barbara Cross
RECOMMENDATION:
Staffrecornmends awarding the play structure bid for $30,000.00 to Minnesota Playground Inc.
BACKGROUND:
Last July, I met with residents from the Pheasant Woods Neighborhood to discuss new play equipment
scheduled for their neighborhood park. The residents described a wide age range of children who use the
park and wanted a large variety of activities for play.
Specifications were prepared, advertised, opened and reviewed. We received four bids from major play
equipment suppliers. All bids were for the maximum $30,000 budget amount but deviated in the type and
number of play events.
The Park Manager, park maintenance staff responsible for playground safety, and a neighborhood resident
helped evaluate bids. Gametime represented by Minnesota Playground Inc., scored highest on the evaluation
form. It was a unanimous decision that this piece of play equipment was the best value for the money.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The money for this project will come from the cash park fees. This project was included in the five-year
capital improvement program and scheduled to be replaced in 1996.

Staff Report
Tires Plus
August 23, 1996
BACKGROUND
This site is part of the original 19 acre Eden Glen Planned Unit Development. This site is the existing
Hardee's Restaurant. The property is currently guided Commercial and zoned Commercial Regional
Service. A Tires Plus store is a permitted use.
SITE PLAN
The project is an enlargement ofthe existing Hardee's building. The proposed building size is 8,176
square feet. The building area ratio is . 16. The Commercial Regional Service Zoning District would
allow up to a .20 base area ratio.
The building meets the required 35 foot front yard setback from Eden Glen Road, Eden Road, and
Highway 169-212. The building also meets the required 20 foot sideyard setback requirement.
The site plan shows a total of 33 parking spaces which meets city code for this use. If the building
is converted to another use in the future, the site plan can accommodate an additional 25 parking
spaces.
ARCHITECTURE
The building meets the 75% facebrick and glass requirement.
A requirement for auto related uses is to screen 75% of the view ofthe overhead doors. The proposal
is to use existing landscaping and glass doors that are recessed. After visiting a similar store in Apple
Valley staff is not confnccd that this approach to screening will work. The staff recommends a 4 foot
extension of the wall above the doors. This could be brick, stucco or a metal canopy similar to JiffY
Lube.
LANDSCAPING
The landscape plan meets city code.
UTILITIES
There is existing sanitary sewer and water on site.
ST AFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The staff would recommend approval of the Planned Unit Development Concept Review, Planned
Unit Development District Review, Zoning District Amendment in the C-Regional Service Zoning
District, and Site Plan Review based on plans dated August 23, 1996 and subject to the
recommendations ofthe staff report dated August 23, 1996, and subject to the following conditions:
1. Prior to City Council review, the proponent shall:
A. Revise the architectural elevations to provide a 4 foot extension of the wall above the
overhead doors.
2. Prior to Building Permit issuance, the proponent shall:
A. Meet with the Fire Marshal to go over fire code requirements.
B. Submit samples of exterior building materials for review.
C. Submit a landscaping and screening bond for review.
D. Submit detailed storm water runoff. utility and erosion control plans for review by the
Watershed District.
E. Submit detailed storm water runoff. utility and erosion control plans for review by the
City Engineer.

PUD District Review on 1.15 acres, Zoning District Amendment in the Commercial
Regional Service District on 1.15 acres and Site Plan Review on 1.15 acres.
Location: Eden Road and Glen Road.
Ron Fiscus, Planner with Yaggy Colby Associates, Rochester, MN, representing Tires
Plus, reviewed the project. Some of the issues which were raised included the
appearance of the overhead doors, and staffhad recommended a canopy over them
to reduce their visual impact. He noted they wished to move as quickly as possible
and he reviewed the plans and the changes they wish to make to the property and still
retain the character of the neighborhood. They made the architectural changes with
the showroom facing toward Highway 169 to attract customers. The wanted to
continue with the same architectural features which exist in the neighborhood
presently. He discussed the garage doors which will be opaque for the most part
except for a few glass panels. They do not agree with staff that there should be a
canopy over the garage doors but they will do whatever the Planning Commission
directs on this issue. They raised the wall above the doors about four feet to lessen
the visual impact and maintain the perspective ratio of the tower with the rest of the
building. He discussed the heights of the tower with those of surrounding buildings
and he requested they be allowed to have a monument sign rather than a pylon sign
which they believe will be more in keeping with the neighborhood characteristics.
They will also do some landscaping around the sign and enhance its appearance. They
requested the Planning Commission to approve their request because they believe the
proposed use is most suited to this site.
Sandstad commented the site plan does not show the monument sign mentioned by
the proponent, and inquired where it would be located. Fiscus responded they
propose to locate it 60 feet from Highway 169 and there is a substantial grade change
in this area and they will have to work with that. Sandstad inquired if all four sides
of the pylon would have the logo on them and Fiscus responded there will be a logo
on three sides of the sign. Habicht commented he was concerned about the turning
radius from the northwest bays and Fiscus responded there will be at least 30-31 feet
which should be adequate to facilitate turning for even larger vehicles.
Mike Diamond, the manager of Tires Plus, stated that only employees will be allowed
to drive cars into and out of the bays. This will be the relocation of an existing store
which is presently located in the Lariat Center close to Applebees. Ismail asked what
"super-store" meant and Diamond responded that it was a marketing tool and means
that there is more service available in the bays and they sell more tires on site. Only
tires are sold at this location, and they do not work on engines or anything else.
Clinton inquired about waste storage and disposal and Fiscus responded that there
was a trash enclosure on the site which was inadequate and they planned to replace
it with one of a proper size to meet their needs. Clinton asked about the monument

sign and why they could not add "Tires Plus" to the tower of the building. Fiscus
responded that the tower will not be visible from Highway 169 and the sign on the
pylon will give people a means of identifYing the business from a distance. Clinton
commented that the visibility from Highway 1-494 was good but he could see that it
would be impeded from Highway 169. He asked about timing and Fiscus responded
that once the City Council approved their application they will apply for a building
permit and begin construction as soon as possible.
Franzen reviewed the staff report and discussed the issue of the architectural
treatment ofthe overhead doors and other ways in which this visual impact might be
reduced. Staff believes that more needs to be done to de-emphasize the doors prior
to City Council review.
The Public Hearing was opened.
No one present wished to speak.
Foote commented he would like to see some type of visual mitigation of the overhead
doors. Ismail stated initially he was uncomfortable with the project in this
neighborhood but after listening to the proponent he supported it as long as they
maintained the character of the area. Habicht commented he supported the project
if the proponent would maintain the glass and a canopy over the garage doors.
Sandstad stated he supported the staff recommendation, and Clinton concurred.
MOTION: Foote moved, seconded by Habicht, to close the Public Hearing. Motion
carried 5-0.
MOTION: Foote moved, seconded by Habicht, to recommend to the City Council

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnIDOT) has reviewed the Tires Plus site plan.
We find the plan acceptable for further development with consideration of the following
comments.
• Access to the site has been located in an appropriate location. MnDOT Right-of-Way
Section has noted that TH 169 and Eden Road are under full access control and no access
would be permitted to these roadways.

Background:
The Planning Commissionreconnnended unanimous approval of the project at its August 26, 1996 meeting.
A reconnnendation of the Staff Report was for the proponent to meet with the Engineering Department and
Parks Department prior to Council review, to resolve the location for the proposed sidewalk along the north
and east side ofFranlo Road. This is due to a number of existing site constraints within the road right of way,
including: telephone poles, fire hydrants, and a retaining wall. City Staff is currently working with the
proponent on this issue, which should be resolved prior to 2nd Reading.

Eden HilJs Townhomes
Staff Report
August 23,1996
BACKGROUND
The Guide Plan identifies this site as High Density Residential land use for up to 17.4 units per acre.
The property is currently zoned Rural. Surrounding land uses consist of Lund's Center to the north,
Eden Commons Apartments at 15.7 units per acre to the east, Lake Edenview Townhomes at 3 units
per acre to the south, and Eden Hills Condominiums at 11 units per acre to the west.
SITE PLAN/PRELIMINARY PLAT
The request is to rezone the property from Rural to RM-6.5 and to subdivide the 5.18 acre site into
21 multi-family units, consisting of two and three unit buildings served by a private road. The
density of the project is 4.64 units per acre. City code would permit up to 6.7 units per acre in the
RM-6.5 Zoning District. The base area ratio is proposed at 16% with a floor area ratio at 18%.
Code would permit up to a 20% BAR and a 40% FAR in the RM-6.5 District. All buildings meet
setback requirements. A total of 2 parking spaces is required for each unit, including at least one
enclosed space. The plan meets the code requirement. Driveways for the units vary between 20 feet
and 70 feet in length, providing ample parking for visitors.
The preliminary plat depicts 21 lots. City code permits a minimum lot size of 6,000 sq. ft. for one
lot, and at least 13,000 sq. ft. for the total building site in the RM-6.5 district. Lots 2, 15, and 20
do not meet the minimum lot size, and will require variances from the Board of Adjustments and
Appeals. Each of these lots are for the center unit of a tri-plex building. Since all lots in the project
average over 8,500 sq. ft. for the project, and the total combined lot area for each building exceeds
13,000 sq. ft. required by code, the variances have merit and have been approved by the City for
other town home developments.
GRADINGIDRAINAGE
The property rises from an elevation of 840 feet near the southeast comer, to 890 feet at the
northwest comer. There are numerous trees on the property consisting mainly of spruce, pine, and
ash.
The majority of the site will require alteration due to the significant grade change across the
property. Clusters of existing trees will be preserved, however, the majority of the existing
vegetation will be removed. The City Forester has inspected the trees on the property, and has
determined that they are part of a maintained landscape, therefore, are not considered significant as
defined by City code.
Road grade maximum is proposed at 7%. City code permits up to an 8% grade.
All site drainage will be treated by a NURP pond located in the southeast comer of the property.

Eden Hills Townhomes
Staff Report
August 23, 1996
UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer and water is available to this site with connection to existing lines located along
Franlo Road.
ACCESS
A single access is proposed along the curve of Franlo Road, opposite the entrance to the Eden Hills
Condominiums. The 28 foot wide road will be private, and will be constructed to City standards.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the access location, and finds the site distance acceptable.
However, to provide maximum site distance, an easement is required near the access to protect the
area from encroachment of any potential obstructions, such as fences, landscaping, or berming.
All existing curb cuts and aprons will need to be removed concurrent with site construction.
ARCHITECTURE
A combination of rambler, lookout, and walkout buildings are proposed. Two different architectural
designs are proposed based on unit model. Building materials will consisit of wood or vinyl siding,
and face brick.
LANDSCAPING
The landscape plan indicates 355 caliper inches of plant material, meeting the requirements of city
code. New, and relocated evergreen trees will provide buffering from the land uses to the north and
east. The plan will need to be revised to relocate the proposed plantings from the driveway entrance
at Franlo Road for protection of site distance.
PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM
An existing five foot concrete sidewalk terminates at the easterly property line of this site along
Franlo Road. A new five foot concrete sidewalk is proposed to be extend along Franlo Road. Due
to some utility locations and an existing retaining wall close to this sidewalk, final alignment of the
sidewalk will need to be resolved with the Engineering Department and Parks Department prior to
City Council review.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff would recommend approval of the Zoning District Change from Rural to RM-6.5 on 5.18
acres, Site Plan Review on 5.18 acres, and Preliminary Plat of 5.18 acres into 21 lots and road right
of way, based on plans dated August 23, 1996, this report, and the following:
1. Prior to City Council review, the proponent shall:

B. EDEN HILLS TOWNHOMES by Zachman Development Corporation. Request
for Zoning District Change from Rural to RM-6.5 on 5.18 acres, Site Plan Review on
5.18 acres and Preliminary Plat of 5.18 acres into 21 lots and road right-of-way.
Location: Franlo Road, west of Eden Commons Apartments, south of Lund's Center
Arne Zachman presented the proposal to construct 21 units noting that each unit
would have a varied exterior design as most people prefer their homes to have some
distinction from their neighbors home. Sandstad inquired about the plans for the end
units and whether they would be the same and what the units would consist of.
Zachman described the floor plans which would be in the end units.
Kipp presented the staff report noting staff recommended approval subject to the
criteria in the staff report. He noted there will be a private roadway built to City
standards within the development. Three lots within the tri-plex units do not meet the
minimum lot standards and will need approval from the Board of Adjustments and
Appeals. However, staff believes these variances have merit, and will recommend
they be granted.
Ismail asked how far the lots were below the lot area requirements and Kipp
responded this occurred because the units were the central units and the wall width
defined the lot lines. Staff is looking at the ordinance to see of it should be changed
to accommodate this particular feature of construction.
Clinton asked if the proponents had submitted sight distance renderings and met the
distances required. Kipp responded affmnatively, noting that there is sight distance
beyond the easement line. Habicht inquired about the grade of 8% and whether it
would be too steep. Kipp commented that there are many roads in Eden Prairie with
a similar grade, and staff believed this would be adequate. Sandstad commented the
landscape plans submitted were not accurate and Kipp noted staff recommended that
several plantings be moved from the easement area.
The Public Hearing was opened.
Charles Blesner, 18381 Cattail Court, stated he believed it was important this project
be approved and he was in support of the proposal.
Sandstad stated he was concerned with the lot which has the deck that is very close
to the interior courtyard and the street coming in, and he believed it might be too tight
in this area. Zachman responded that there was only one other way to design this and
the alternative would be to put in the deck as a patio. They endeavored to keep the
decks on the same level as the kitchen to facilitate outdoor cooking and dining. Kipp
stated it would be approximately 12 feet from the private roadway surface but he
believed there were other instances similar to this in Eden Prairie. Zachman
commented they could only reduce the size so far because they believed the decks had
to be 12' X 12' to be viable.

Engineering Receive 100% Petition, Ordering Improvements and Preparation
Division of Plans and Specifications for Public Improvements
Randy Slick
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution accepting 100% petition from the owners of Lot
7, Block 1, Stevens Heights Addition and Lot 1, Block 2, Kings Forest Addition for the
construction of storm drainage improvements and authorization of staff to proceed with
implementation of the proposed improvements. -
Overview:
A previous owner of Lot 7, Block 1, Stevens Heights Addition installed an extensive bituminous
surfaced driveway and parking area in the rear yard as depicted on the attached exhibit.
Drainage from the yard area of Lot 7, including the roof and extensive paved driveway, runs
north across Lot 1, Block 2, Kings Forest Addition to Manchester Lane. Erosion is a problem
on the steep slopes from Lot 7 down to Manchester Lane. City staff has recommended the
installation of a storm sewer to convey water from the driveway area on Lot 7 down the steep
slopes where erosion has occurred. The property owners have agreed to provide easements for
the installation and maintenance of the storm sewer and have petitioned for its construction. The
construction of the storm sewer will resolve the erosion problem.
Financial Considerations:
The proposed assessments should cover the cost to construct the storm sewer improvements.
Any small overage in construction costs and staff time for design and construction administration
may be covered by storm water utility funds.

EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: 9/16~
SECTION: Director of Parks, Recreation and Facilities ITEM NO. I
DEPARTMENT: Parks, ITEM DESCRIPTION: Mighty Ducks Grant Proposal for Community
Recreation and Facilities Center Ice Arena Renovations
Elyce Kastigar
BACKGROUND:
The Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission (MAS C) will be awarding matching grants to eligible
communities for the development of new ice arenas and for the improvement of existing arenas. Grants
awarded will be from the proceeds of bonds issued by the State of Minnesota in which the bond proceed
funds are restricted to capital expenditures.
Communities applying for a renovation grant for their existing ice arena may apply for up to $50,000. This
grant must be matched by non-state sources on a I: 1 ratio. The proposal submission deadline for applicants
desiring construction in 1997 is October 5, 1996.
RECOMMENDED RENOVATION PROJECTS:
City staff have met with representatives from the Eden Prairie Hockey Association and Figure Skating Club
to discuss potential renovation projects to improve the existing ice arenas at the Community Center. The
Hockey Association, Figure Skating Club and City staff are in agreement that the projects listed below are
the highest priorities for the Mighty Ducks grant proposal.
These items are the top three priorities estimated to total $lOO,OOO.
1. Complete shower and restroom facilities in team rooms 5-6 and 7-8 in the Olympic ice arena. These
improvements were in the original design ofthe Olympic ice arena. The facilities should be designed
to accommodate male and female players.
2. Provide necessary improvements to the Olympic ice arena concession stand which would allow for
full concession operations and provide space for skate rental operations.
3. Develop a secured storage area in the Main ice arena. The southeast end could be utilized to meet
the demand for facility storage space. The Community Center lacks adequate storage space for
equipment and supplies (i.e., maintenance, custodial, and program equipment and supplies).
1
MATCHING FUND SOURCE:
The proposed 1997 Community Center budget does not include funds for the Mighty Ducks grant. If the
City is successful in obtaining the grant, staff recommends the general fund reserve be used to provide 12.5%
of the project, cash park fees for 12.5% ofthe project, and the Hockey Association and Figure Skating Club
to provide 25% of the project costs.
REQUEST:
Staff requests approval to use the general fund reserve for matching funds for the Mighty Ducks grant.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
SECTION: Reports from Community Development Director DATE: September 17, 1996
DEPARTMENT: ITEM DESCRIPTION: ITEM NO: Xl 0, I
Community Development Increase Income Limits for the
Chris Enger Housing Rehab Program
David Lindahl
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve increasing the income limits for Housing Rehabilitation Program from 65% of the median income
for the metro area, to 80% of median.
BACKGROUND:
In order to make the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program accessible to more home owners in Eden Prairie,
the Housing, Transportation, and Social Services Board (HTSSB) has recommended increasing the income
limits to 80% of the median income for the metro area. Eighty percent of median is the maximum income
allowed by HUD, and is the limit now being used for the Hennepin County Rehab Program. The current and
proposed income limits by household size are as follows:
Household Current Limit Proposed Limit
~ (65% Qf m~dian) (80% Qfmedian )
one $24,843 $29,100
two $28,392 $33,300
three $31,941 $37,450
four $35,490 $41,600
five $38,329 $44,950
six $41,275 $48,250
seven $44,008 $51,600
Some residents that need repairs to their homes are being turned away because the more restrictive limits
currently used by the City. The primaty advantage of the City's loans compared to market-rate loans is that
the interest rate is low (5%), and repayment is deferred until the homes are sold. Although the loans are
deferred, some clients choose to make periodic payments to the City in order limit the amount of interest
paid.
The Council has been designating on average about $80,000 in CDBa funds each year for the Rehab
activity, which serves approximately ten clients. The number of residents turned away each year varies, but
can range anywhere from three to ten.
