Gray said these properties in the Golden Ridge neighborhood have now
connected so they are being assessed.

Gray said these trunk sewer and water assessments are for subdivision
assessments and one business property. He said we have received a letter
from Physical Electronics, the owner of a large parcel part of which was
sold to Opus Corporation. The portion sold to Opus Corporation is part of
this assessment, and Physical Electronics has sent a letter that reserves their
right to appeal.

to cut the weeds. Gray said we do not cut on a regular basis.

MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Tyra-Lukens, to close the Public
Hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to adopt Resolution
96-180 ordering the 1996 Special Assessments. Motion carried

Pidcock asked if the new owners of Rogers Homestead have been notified
of the assessment for Connection Fees. Gray said notice goes to property
owners of record. Since Hennepin County has not assigned PID numbers,
this is only sent to the underlying property.

MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the Public Hearing
and to return the project plans to the proponent. Motion carried unanimously.
C. REISSUANCE OF MULTIFAMILY HOUSING REVENUE BONDS FOR
FOUNTAIN PLACE APARTMENTS PROTECT - PHASE I IN THE
AMOUNT OF $20,900,000 (Resolution 96-181)
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
October 15, 1996
Page 6
Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on October 1,
1996 in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and in the Eden Prairie News on October
10, 1996. As per the attached staff agenda report of October 15, 1996, the
proposed Resolution will allow the reissuance of bonds for Phase I of the Fountain
Place Apartments Project. The amendment will include an interest rate which
floats with an index and extends the maturity to December 1, 2018. In addition,
the owners of the project have agreed to accept Section 8 vouchers for up to 10%
of the 490 units.
Pidcock asked how many Section 8 vouchers they have agreed to. Jullie said 10%
of the 490 units, or 49 units. Case noted the wording says up to 10% and asked
if that would allow them to not have 10%. Harris said because it is voluntary they
might not be able to get 10%. Rosow said there is an agreement being drafted that
states they must accept a maximum of 10%.
Pidcock noted they had a meeting of the Work Force group, an outgrowth of the
Reverse Commute group from Southwest Metro, and discussed the need for the
City to target scattered site housing and more moderately priced housing for
employees in the various business neighborhoods.
A representative of Capital Apartment Properties, Inc., was available to answer
any questions regarding this item and the next one. In regard to Section 8, he said
it is their intent to do their best to get to the 10% number.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the Public
Hearing; and to adopt Resolution 96-181 approving reissuance of Multifamily
Housing Revenue Bonds for Fountain Place Apartments Project Phase 1 in the
amount of$20,900,000. Motion carried unanimously.
Tyra-Lukens asked if we are to give staff direction on the issue of TEFRA
hearings. Rosow said there are many projects with refinancing involved where it
would be more appropriate for staff members to conduct the hearings.
MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Pidcock, to direct that TEFRA
hearings for refinancing projects be convened by City staff. Motion carried
unanimously.
D. REISSUANCE OF MULTIFAMILY HOUSING REVENUE BONDS FOR
FOUNTAIN PLACE APARTMENTS PROJECT - PHASE II IN THE
AMOUNT OF $12,600,000 (Resolution 96-182)
Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on October 1,
1996 in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and the Eden Prairie News on October 10,
1996. As per the attached staff agenda report of October 15, 1996, the proposed
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA

Apartments Project. The amendment will include an interest rate which floats with
an index and extends the maturity to December 1, 2018. In addition, the owners
of the project have agreed to accept Section 8 vouchers for up to 10% of the 490
units.
Rosow distributed a replacement resolution with a minor change in the resolution.
There were no comments from the audience.

Hearing; and to adopt Resolution 96-182 approving reissuance of Multifamily

EASEMENT IN RESEARCH FARM 3RD ADDITION (Resolution 96-183)

being relocated, per the approved plat of the Staring Lake Townhomes.
There were no comments from the audience.

Hearing; and to adopt Resolution 96-183 vacating the drainage and utility

XI. REPORTS OF OFFICERS
A. REPORLS_OEMLINCILAMBERS
1. Review SACs and WACs
Pidcock asked staff to explain the terms SAC and WAC. Jullie said the
SAC is a Service Availability Charge started by the Metropolitan Waste
Commission that is paid by all new connections. The City has a similar
charge levied at the time of hook-up that is set annually by the City
Council. The WAC charge is tied to water usage and is based on a pre-
determined number of SAC units. He said heavy water users such as
restaurants and car washes can get fairly substantial connection charges.
Dietz said we get funds to pay the debt we incur to build our facilities by
charging the trunk assessments, the sewer and water access charges and the
$12.50 fee on the water bills.
Pidcock thought it was important to know the economic impact on anyone
putting in a restaurant in the City and what effect it has on the business
community.
Harris asked if other cities have the same type of arrangement. Dietz
replied they looked at other cities when the Bearpath subdivision was
reviewed and found that some cities have it and some don't.
Case asked if there is any evidence that these charges have caused a
prospective restaurant owner to not build a restaurant. Dietz thought it has
happened.
The consensus was that staff should review the charges imposed on the
business community, survey some of the other communities to see what
they are charging, and return to the Council with a report.
2. Recognition of Police Department
Pidcock thought the Police Department deserves special recognition for the
work they did in the recent drug bust. Harris asked Staff to draft
something for the Council to present.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
October 15, 1996
Page 9
3. Discussion Regarding Water and Air Quality at the Community Center
Pool
Case received some concerns from residents about the air and water quality
at the Community Center pool. He would like to know what is happening
and what steps we are taking to correct the situation. Jullie said Bob
Lambert sent a memo through regarding meetings we have had with the
teams that use the pool. He believes the situation is under control;
however, we haven't determined any funding mechanism for the changes
that will have to be made next year.
Case asked if the Oak Point pool has met our expectations in terms of
moving some of the open swim time over there. Jullie said the team
activity will stay at the Community Center pool, and we will then be able
to drop the temperature in the pool area which will help the chlorine
problem.
Pidcock noted this is an on-going problem at the Community Center pool,
and she has received a lot of complaints over the years.
Case thought we may need to discuss the issues and the possible solutions
at a Council meeting if we continue to have sickness and other problems
occur at the Community Center Pool. Jullie said we can schedule a
discussion for the next meeting or in the near future.
4. Appoint City Council Representative to Eden Prairie Crime Preventiji
Fund
Harris said she will not be able to continue as the Council representative to
the Eden Prairie Crime Prevention Fund. She has asked Councilmember
Case to serve, and he has agreed.
The consensus was that Case should replace Harris as the Council
representative.
B. REPORT OF CITY MANAGER
1. October 22 Workshop
Jullie said the original workshop schedule called for a second workshop to
discuss boards and commissions on October 22, 1996. Staff has
determined that we are not prepared to present the recommendations needed
for the second session. Thorfinnson said the primary reason is that we will
not complete our joint meetings with the boards and commissions until
January.
9r
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
October 15, 1996

The consensus was to postpone the workshop until the joint meetings have
been completed and staff can present recommendations.
C. REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF PARKS, RECREATION & FACILITIES
D. REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT
1. Award Contract for Municipal Liquor Store No. 4 (Resolution 96-184)
Enger said bids were opened on Friday, October 11, for the construction
of Municipal Liquor Store No. 4 at the Cub Food site. Staff recommends
the contract be awarded to Hunerberg Construction, who submitted the
lowest bid at $1,216,000.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Case, to adopt Resolution 96-184
Awarding the Contract for Municipal Liquor Store No. 4 to Hunerberg
Construction in the amount of$1,216,000. Motion carried unanimously.
Case said the issue of whether the City should be in the liquor store
business came up at the candidate meeting. He noted that three of the
current Councilmembers never had to address this issue, and he thought we
should review the issue at a workshop somewhere down the line. He
thought there are some side issues about selling tobacco that should be
addressed.
The consensus was to wait until the new City Council is in place to
schedule the workshop. Harris thought it makes sense to review this
periodically as questions seem to arise every two or three years..
E. REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
1. Approve Amendment to Contract for Architectural Services for
Parks/Public Works Maintenance Facility, I.C. 96-5417
Dietz said staff has been working with our architectural consultant to
develop plans and specifications for the new Public Works/Parks
Maintenance Facilities. Over the past five months, we have determined
that the anticipated scope of services and preliminary cost estimate for the
total project were too low. Accordingly, we find it necessary to
recommend an adjustment in the Contract for Services with Kodet
Architectural Group. Based on a revised construction cost of$4,100,000,
the fees will be increased from $230,000 to $310,000. This contract
revision commits the architect to provide at least $400,000 in alternates so
as to insure the project coming in on budget, and reducing their risk of
having to redraw the project. The City will save $11,250 in fees. Plans
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
October 15, 1996
Page 11
and specifications for this project will be presented to the Council for
review and approval prior to authorization to advertise for bids. At such
time, an updated budget for the financing to cover the cost of this project
will be presented.
Thorfinnson wanted to make sure we are not approving the project, and this
amendment is just for the architectural services. Harris said that was true.
Tyra-Lukens asked if the primary issue is the sale of the existing facility to
MNDoT because she is getting nervous about having an empty Police
building and an empty public service building. Dietz said MNDoT agreed
with purchasing all the remaining right-of-way for Hwy 212 during the
public hearings for Hwy 212. We are in the process of scheduling a
meeting with them to talk through the issue. We have an offer on the table
now, but it is for about one-half of what we think the buildings are worth.
Dietz thought we have a well-stocked arsenal to present our point of view
and he believes we will arrive at a reasonable price. Pidcock noted that
MNDoT has spent almost $100,000,000 in acquiring the right-of-way for
Hwy 212.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Case, to approve the Professional
Services Supplement with Kodet Architectural Group as per the staff
agenda report of October 15, 1996. Motion carried unanimously.

EXHIBIT D EROSION CONTROL POLICY January 1, 1993
MISSION STATEMENT
At any given time, Eden Prairie has a large amount of property denuded of vegetation with land alteration in
progress. Erosion may result from ongoing construction activities such as road and highway projects,
industrial, commercial, residential development, and individual house construction. These activities are prone
to erosion, producing sediment that can infiltrate storm sewer systems, affect water quality, clog streets and
sidewalks, and cause damage to property. The City Council has recognized the need and directed City staff
to devise a comprehensive erosion control policy. The benefits of these controls can be realized in improved
water quality, increased safety and monetary savings in clean up efforts. The City Council has directed the
following Policy to be implemented:
1. All construction projects permitted by the City of Eden Prairie which result in the temporary disturbance
of vegetative or non-vegetative surfaces protecting soils from erosion require the use of Best
Management Practices (BMP's) as outlined in the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's manual,
Protecting Water Quality In Urban Areas, to mitigate the impact of erosion on wetland and water
resources. The City Engineer or the Director of Inspections may impose special conditions to permits
which stipulate erosion control procedures and/or direct the installation of erosion control features or
the clean up of erosion at construction sites. Permits effected by this policy include all grading permits,
building permits, and permits for the installation of utilities.
2. All erosion control systems stipulated in the permit shall be installed prior to the issuance of the permit.
Supplemental erosion control systems ordered by the City Engineer or the Director of Inspections shall
be installed within 48 hours.
3. All erosion control systems must be maintained by the permittee in a functional condition until the
completion of turf and/or structural surfaces which protect the soil from erosion. The permittee must
inspect erosion control bi-weekly and immediately after each rainfall event of .5 inches or more.
Needed maintenance shall be performed within 48 hours.
4. Best Management Practices (BMP's) shall be utilized at all construction sites to minimize the trackage
or spillage of soil on public streets or highways. BMP's may include, but are not limited to, rock
construction entrances, washing stations, frequent cleaning of streets adjacent to the construction site
or limiting operations when site conditions are unmanageable. Trackage or spillage of soil on a public
street or highway must be cleaned by power sweepers within the time frame stipulated in the permit
special conditions or as ordered by the City Engineer or the Director of Inspections.
5. If erosion breaches the perimeter of a construction site, the permittee shall immediately develop a clean
up and restoration plan, obtain the right-of-entry from the adjoining property owner, and implement the
clean up and restoration plan within 48 hours of obtaining the adjoining property owner's permission.
In the event eroded soils enter onto or are tracked or spilled on a public street, highway, sidewalk or
trail, the permittee shall remove the soil material and thoroughly sweep the street or sidewalk surface
within four hours. If eroded soils enter, or entrance appears imminent, into wetlands or other water
bodies, clean up and repair shall be immediate. Permittee shall provide all traffic control and flagging
required to protect the traveling public during the clean up operations.
Is
6. When a permittee fails to conform to any provision of this policy within the time stipulated in a written
notification, the City Engineer or the Director of Inspections may take the following actions:
a. Withhold the scheduling of inspections and/or the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
b. Direct the correction of the deficiency by City forces or separate contract.
The issuance of a permit constitutes a right-of-entry for the City or its contractor to enter upon the.
construction site for the purpose of correcting deficiencies in erosion control.
All costs incurred by the City in correcting erosion control deficiencies shall be reimbursed by the
permittee. All invoices for erosion control correction shall be due and payable within 30 days.
Invoices not paid within 30 days shall accrue interest at a rate of 1% per month.
Each charge for correction of erosion deficiencies shall be a lien upon the property to which the permit
applies. Invoices more than 30 days old on September 30 or any year or on any other date as
determined by the City Engineer or the Director of Inspections may be assessed against the property.
As a condition of the permit, the owner shall waive notice of any assessment hearing to be conducted
by the City, concur that the benefit to the property exceeds the amount of the proposed assessment and
waive all rights by virtue of Minnesota Statute 429.081 to challenge the amount or validity of the
assessment.
I, We, The Undersigned, hereby accept the terms and conditions of the Erosion Control Policy dated January
1, 1993 as set forth and agree to fully comply therewith to the satisfaction of the City of Eden Prairie,
Minnesota.

Chris Enger Flying Cloud Airport Design Framework Manual
Scott A. Kipp
Requested Council Action:
The Staff recommends that the Council take the following action:
• Motion to approve the Flying Cloud Airport Design Framework Manual
Background:
The Flying Cloud Airport Design Framework Manual was drafted and adopted at the Flying Cloud Airport
Advisory Commission in an effort to guide new construction and upgrades to existing buildings. The Manual
will help establish cohesive design, aesthetic relationships, and to set a tone for an upgraded airport image.
Since the MAC is a metropolitan agency of the state, a local unit of government may not force compliance
with local zoning codes,but rather, tries to work in a cooperative manner.
The Manual was first introduced at the joint meeting with the City Council on September 17, 1996. It has
also been unanimously recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at its October 14, 1996
meeting.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Scott A. Kipp, Senior Planner
THROUGH: Michael D.Franzen,City Planner
DATE: October 11, 1996
SUBJECT: Flying Cloud Airport Design Framework Manual
Flying Cloud Airport is one of six Regional Reliever airports owned and operated by the
Metropolitan Airports Commission(MAC). The airport was acquired by MAC in 1948,after the
state created the agency to operate a system of airports within metropolitan area. The state
granted MAC the authority to operate this system much the same way as a municipal corporation
operates a city. The MAC has many of the same powers as a municipality, such as the authority
to acquire property and levy taxes.
Since the MAC is a metropolitan agency of the state, a local unit of government may not force
compliance with local zoning codes, but rather, tries to work in a cooperative manner.
Over 110 buildings occupy the airport property,many of which were constructed over thirty years
ago. These buildings are in various levels of deterioration, and many of the older buildings may
not meet current building code. In addition, some new construction has taken place recently
which is beginning to set a tone for an upgraded airport image. It is with these issues in mind that
the Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission approved a Design Framework Manual for the
airport.
In cooperation with MAC,the Manual will help guide the development of future construction at
Flying Cloud Airport through aesthetic exterior upgrading and cohesive design.
Since property owned by MAC does not need to comply with local zoning codes,the City cannot
require strict compliance with the building material standards defined in the zoning code. For
example,the airport is zoned Public,requiring the use of face brick and glass for at least 75%of a
building's exterior finish material. The Manual will continue to permit the use of this material,but
because it is an airport environment, it will also allow the use of metal panel as an approved
material if it meets established criteria. The Manual establishes parameters regarding building
materials, signage, landscaping, etc.that need to be followed for new construction,or for the
Z

upgrading of existing buildings.
None of the recommendations in the Manual will create a financial burden to building owners.
Rather,the Manual supports many of the features that are already taking place at the airport as
buildings are improved. This document will help to solidify those features.
The Advisory Commission has submitted the Manual to the Metropolitan Airports Commission
for their endorsement as well.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff would recommend City Council approval of the Design Framework Manual.

FLYING CLOUD AIRPORT
DESIGN FRAMEWORK MANUAL
July 1996
INTRODUCTION
Flying Cloud Airport is located in south central Eden Prairie, consisting of approximately
560 acres of land. It is one of six reliever airports owned and operated by the
Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC)within a 35 mile radius of the cities of
Minneapolis and St. Paul. It is classified as a General Utility Airport by the Federal
Aviation Administration(FAA), and can accommodate all single engine aircraft,most twin
engine, and light jet aircraft. Flying Cloud Airport offers a number of services to the
public, including aircraft sales, aircraft rental,charter service, aircraft maintenance, and
flight training. It also contains a World War II aircraft museum, an aircraft maintenance
school, and an air traffic controller school.
II. PURPOSE OF AIRPORT DESIGN FRAMEWORK
The purpose of the Airport Design Framework Manual is to guide the development of
future construction at Flying Cloud Airport. The Framework Manual includes guidelines
for architectural standards, airport signs, site lighting, and trash handling. The goal of the
guidelines is to encourage the sturdy construction and cohesive image of the facilities at
Flying Cloud Airport. The design objectives of the guidelines are as follows:
1. Improve the quality of construction of the facilities.
2. Develop exterior aesthetic relationships between buildings through building
materials and exterior colors.
3. Ensure that new signs are in conformance with the Eden Prairie Sign Code.
4. Contain site lighting to the airport facility and eliminate glare to neighboring
buildings.
5. Increase landscaping areas to soften visual impacts of airport facilities, and
increase visual interest.
6. Provide for adequate trash containment.

Flying Cloud Airport
Design Framework Manual
July 1996
III. EXISTING INVENTORY
A. Quality of Buildings and Hangars
There are currently over 110 separate aircraft storage buildings at Flying Cloud Airport.
The majority of these buildings were constructed over thirty years ago and are in various
levels of deterioration,including: corrosion, chipped and faded paint,bent metal, cracked
concrete block. Color schemes for these buildings vary from hangar to hangar, and
include some colors that do not support any particular theme. Many of these older
buildings may not meet current building codes as well.
Some newly constructed facilities, and the upgrading of others have established a level of
building improvement which should continue and be encouraged. These improvements
involve the use of decorative concrete block and glass in construction, as well as
warranted metal panels in earth tone colors.
While there is a beginning of consistency in the types of building materials and color
schemes used around the airport,there is still considerable variation in the physical
appearance and age of the majority of these structures.
B. Signs
Existing business signs at the airport have no cohesive theme regarding materials or style.
Signs range from painted sheets of plywood to internally lit pylons. Some signs are
portable, some are attached to fences, while others are ground mounted.
C. Landscaping
Landscaping around the airport is sparse. Some improvements have been made in recent
years, including the evergreen and crabapple trees installed by MAC along the northwest
hangar row to help soften the view to the existing worn hangar facades. Ornamental trees
and shrubs have been planted at the northeast corner of the airport as a"gateway"
improvement. In addition,new evergreen and flowering shrubs have been installed as part
of the recently completed Executive Aviation facility. While it is important to maintain
obstruction clearance for all aircraft operations,the use of approved landscaping has
helped to improve visual interest around the airport.
D. Trash Handling
Overall, the airport does not appear to have a trash handling problem. Many of the
2
Flying Cloud Airport
Design Framework Manual
July 1996
existing hangar facilities do not generate any significant amount of trash to require a
means for containment. Other facilities store trash within the structure,or provide an
exterior trash dumpster for this purpose.
IV. ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
Purpose: To improve the quality of the construction of the facilities and to
create aesthetic exterior relationships between buildings.
New construction shall be reviewed based on the following standards:
1. All exterior building finishes shall consist of no less than 75%of the following
materials: a) face brick,b)natural stone, c)decorative precast concrete,d) metal
panel, e) glass, f)decorative concrete block.
2. For commercially classified buildings according to MAC,the exterior building
elevation which most closely faces a public roadway shall contain no less than 25%
of the following materials: a) face brick,b)natural stone, c)precast decorative
concrete, d) decorative concrete block.
3. All metal panel shall consist of a minimum 20 year warranted,pre-colored,baked
on finish in earth tone shades such as brown, beige, tan, grey, light blue,or dark
blue.
4. All ground mounted,or roof mounted mechanical equipment shall be physically
screened from all public roadways and adjacent differing land use.
5. All construction shall be in conformance with the Eden Prairie Building Code.
V. SIGNS
Purpose: To apply the standards and regulations from the Eden Prairie Sign
Code to airport signs for commercial buildings.
Future construction of commercial signs should incorporate relationships of size, type, and
placement.
1. Entrance signs should be ground mounted and feature a directory of businesses
3
(0
Flying Cloud Airport
Design Framework Manual
July 1996
and hangars in the area. These signs should use the same letter style, color,and
material.
2. Commercial building signs,whether wall mounted,or pylon mounted should be
professionally manufactured and be internally lit. Pylon signs shall be no taller than
25 feet.
3. Signs shall be in compliance with the Eden Prairie Sign Code.
4. Signs attached to the airport perimeter fence(other than Metropolitan Airports
Commission informational signs) will not be approved.
VI LANDSCAPING
Purpose: To soften the visual impact of airport buildings and improve visual
interest with plantings compatible with airport functions.
Green areas can be improved by adding small ornamental trees and shrubs. Plantings
around buildings can create visual interest and soften views to parking areas. Perimeter
plantings of evergreen trees will add visual interest, and help with noise mitigation to
adjacent residential or park uses.
1. As part of new construction, or a building upgrade, and where space permits,
landscaping will be incorporated into the site to help soften views of parking areas.
VII. SITE LIGHTING
Purpose: To provide for adequate lighting for airport functions while
preventing off-site glare impacts.
Downcast lighting can be used to adequately light the area without spreading glare off
site. It is desired that the lighting poles be of the same height and lighting intensity.
Lights mounted on hangars or commercial buildings should be consistent in height,
especially when hangars are in a row format.
1. All site lighting shall be of a downcast,or shielded variety to restrict off site glare.
2. Pole lighting shall not exceed 25 feet in height.
4
Flying Cloud Airport
Design Framework Manual
July 1996
3. The type of lighting should be consistent throughout the airport property, i.e., high
pressure sodium, mercury vapor, etc.
VIII. ?'RASH HANDLING
Purpose: To provide for a clean airport, and to maintain an aesthetically
pleasing environment.
Every possible attempt should be made to accommodate trash handling in the interior of
the buildings. Trash storage areas should be accessible from both an interior and exterior
door to facilitate proper maintenance. If it is not possible to handle trash within the
building, a trash storage structure shall be constructed of building materials compatible
with the architectural treatment of the principle structure.
IX PLANS REQUIRED FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION
Site Plans shall include:
1. Existing and proposed structures affected by the proposed construction.
2. Existing and proposed parking areas for vehicles and aircraft.
3. Existing and proposed green areas, including aircraft tie-down areas.
4. Location of existing or proposed sewer and water systems.
5. Proposed signage, lighting,and landscaping details
6. Location of proposed trash enclosure, if trash is to be stored outside.
Architectural Plans shall include:
1. Elevations of all sides of the building.
2. Floor plan including dimensions of all structures.
3. Type and color of exterior building materials.
5
Flying Cloud Airport
Design Framework Manual
July 1996
4. Location of all heating, air conditioning,and ventilation systems, and the method
for physical screening if visible from a public roadway.
5. Trash enclosure details, if the trash is to be stored outside.
6. Any other plans necessary for the Building Department to review the proposal for
permit issuance.

Engineering Division Approve Proposal for Design Services for a Traffic Signal at Trunk Highway
Rodney W. Rue 169 and Fountain Place
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve proposal from Westwood Professional Services, Inc., for design services for
a traffic signal at the intersection of TH 169 and Fountain Place and authorize the mayor and
manager to sign the proposal.
Overview:
In December 1995, the City Council passed a resolution requesting MnDOT to enter into a
cooperative agreement for construction of a traffic signal at TH 169 and Fountain Place. We
were unsuccessful in being selected as a cooperative agreement project for 1996. However, we
have submitted this project again for 1997.
Primary Issues:
If this signal project is selected by MnDOT as a cooperative agreement project, the City is
responsible for all design costs for the project. MnDOT would share only in the construction
and contract administration costs. This design proposal does include some costs for preparing
some supporting information that may help to justify our project, as well as the design and
contract administration costs for a typical MnDOT traffic signal.
This design proposal is being submitted to you now in order to get ahead of the process and
actually begin to design the project prior to knowing if the project will be selected in February.
There should be minimal risk in doing this, since the City is responsible for all design costs
anyway. It will also provide us the opportunity to have the project ready for bids soon after
MnDOT's selection process. There will be further council action necessary once appropriate
construction cost splits and agreements are obtained.
Financial Issues:
This signal project is identified in the tax increment project list. Therefore, we are proposing
to finance this design work using the Tax Increment Fund and hereby recommend approval of
this design proposal from Westwood Professional Services, Inc., in the amount of$18,738.

RE: I.C. 96-5398
Traffic Signals at T.H. 169 and Fountain Place
Dear Rod:
Westwood is pleased to present this proposal for engineering services for installation of a traffic
signal at the intersection of T.H. 169 and Fountain Place. In preparing this proposal, I have
visited over the phone with the Mn/DOT Office of State Aid to get a clear understanding of the
requirements and timeline for projects submitted under the Cooperative Agreement Process.
We understand the mid-December deadline and will complete our sketch layout and justification
work in sufficient time for proper review and submittal by that date.
We propose to conduct the work on an hourly basis with the fee for each major task to not
exceed the budget on the attached spreadsheet. We have estimated the level of involvement
for Task 1.0 (Create Support Information) based on the requirements of the Cooperative
Agreement Process. For Task 2.0 (Prepare Signal Plans and Specifications), we have
estimated the work effort based on our two most recent signal design jobs for the Mn/DOT
Metro Division. We have found that signal design with the Metro Division requires a significant
amount of coordination and multiple reviews and we have included that in the proposal.
Task 3.0 of the proposal (Provide Construction Administration) includes Westwood inspection
led by Tom Walsh, Senior Construction Coordinator, who is Mn/DOT certified in Signal and
Lighting Inspection as well as several other categories. Task 3.0 also includes a base level of
signal coordination to fit the new signal into the existing timing patterns along T.H. 169 that
Westwood developed in 1993. It does not include a full retiming of the corridor, but it does
include the necessary field work to observe and fine tune the signal settings that are
implemented.

D. CAMP EDENWOOD by Friendship Ventures. Request for Site Plan Review on
2 acres. Location: Indian Chief Road. (Resolution Site Plan Review)
Mike Maile, Director of Development for Friendship Ventures, reviewed the
proposal to build a 15,000 square foot dining hall and associated parking lot at
Camp Edenwood.
Enger said the project was reviewed by the Planning Commission at their
September 9, 1996, meeting and recommended approval on a unanimous vote,
subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report of September 6, 1996. There
was some discussion that the original camp complex at Camp Edenwood may be
eligible for designation as an historic site. Because of the issue of designation as
an historic site, he said Staff recommends that Friendship Venture representatives
meet with staff members to discuss alternative sites and to see what course of
action should be followed with the construction of the facility. The Historic
Preservation Commission (H.P.C.) should have an opportunity to review the
project at their October 21, 1996, meeting, and make a recommendation regarding
the proposal.
Lambert said the Parks Commission reviewed the project on September 16, 1996,
and recommended approval on a 5-0-1 vote with Jacobson abstaining. They also
discussed the issue of designation as an historic site. He said Ed Stracke, president
of Friendship Ventures, said there are not a lot of alternatives on this site, and they
are not interested in maintaining the building as an historic site. They have been
given some deadlines from the state health commission to upgrade the facility. He
thought it was a good idea for the H.P.C. the project; however, he was not sure
anybody will recommend preserving the site.
Harris asked what the possibility is that it will really be designated as an historic
site, and what opportunities exist for alternative use of the building if it were so
designated. Maile said the maintenance of the building is far beyond their financial
capabilities, and the Health Department has said they must upgrade the facility in
order to continue operations. He said the building has changed from its original
plan, and the cost would be very high to preserve building. They don't have a
common area for kids to gather indoors if it rains.
Harris noted this is a community service and a community resource that serves
individuals with disabilities.
Maile said they have tried to minimize the tree loss in the plans and will replace
the trees at 50% greater than requirements. He noted they have already received
a $50,000 contribution for the project from the Eden Prairie Lions Club.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
October 1, 1996

Case asked who will own the building if Edenwood puts it up. Lambert said the
City will technically own the building. They have had some discussions with the
staff of Friendship Ventures and would like to reevaluate the lease agreement to
make sure they have an extensive long-term lease. They want to get approval of
the plans and then go out to raise funds for the building.
Case asked what the terms of the lease are. Lambert said it is $1.00 for 30 years,
and we are five or six years into the 30-year lease. City Attorney Pauly said the
property must be used for these purposes, and, if not, it reverts back to Hennepin
County. Lambert said our main goal for getting the facility was to provide a place
for recreational use for the handicapped.
Pidcock said she was not sure what the memo we received this afternoon from the
State Historical Preservation Office means. Enger said he thought we have plenty
of time to review this more thoroughly before construction begins, because the
memo from the state means that this does need to go to the H.P.C. and receive
their recommendation. Because there is no alternative site for the building, our
recommendation may be to simply document the facility.
•
Case thought it was important to have a buffer of a couple of weeks to allow
review by the H.P.C., to allow John Gertz more time to connect, and to have more
time to think about the tradeoffs of history versus the program this provides. He
was concerned because this is one of the few buildings we have that qualifies for
the National Registry.
Harris noted the October 21st meeting of the H.P.C. falls within the timing of 2nd
Reading so we could approve this tonight and have the additional input available
prior to 2nd Reading.
Thorfinnson then asked what we are proposing if it does qualify for historic
designation and we are faced with leaving it there and building some place else or
discontinuing the program. Case was not sure there isn't another alternative.
Thorfinnson was also concerned about how we got through the entire process to
this point if there was really an issue. Proponent has gone through the entire
process and now needs to be able to raise funds. He asked how long this has been
in the process. Enger said it has been about 45 days, and the identification of this
as a possible historic site occurred as a result of the development review process.
Lambert said Staff has determined that we are looldng at site plan review so there
is no 2nd reading. We would be able to approve the plan or we could continue the
hearing for two weeks. Pauly said approval will require four votes and, since it
does not change the zoning district, it would not require a 2nd Reading.
Case thought we will end up with the same plan; however, he wants to be able to
go back and say we thoroughly researched the issue.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to continue the Public
Hearing to the first meeting in November. Motion carried unanimously.

Planning Commission
Monday, September 9, 1996
C. CAMP EDENWOOD by Friendship Ventures. Request for Site Plan Review on 2
acres. Location: Indian Chief Road.
Ed Stracke, president of Friendship Ventures, reviewed his development proposal
with the Commission. He gave background information noting that Edenwood
Center is sometimes referred to as Camp Edenwood and has been in operation since
1958. It started as a day camp and has turned into a year round camp. They are a
non-profit organization. In January 1985 they took over a lease on the property that's
owned by the City of Eden Prairie from Hennepin County and transferred that to
Friendship Ventures. They continue as a camp and retreat center for disabled adults
and children.
The proposed building is a multi-purpose program center. It's purpose is to replace
four structures which include an area for food preparation, dining, indoor activity
area,restrooms and storage. The new dining hall will be placed in the same location
as the existing dining hall. This location will minimize tree loss and site alteration.
They will be using the entrance way on the existing property because there is very
little impact on the existing facility in terms of tree loss, water runoff, and grading.
Sandstad was concerned about the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Society and
how it was initiated. Kipp indicated consultants from the Historical Society contacted
his office and indicated they were doing a survey of state facilities that treated
tuberculosis in the turn of the century. They flagged this structure as one of them and
indicated they were going to do an evaluation of the site.
Ismail asked if the expansion will increase the number of clients and who are the
clients. Stracke indicated it will increase the number of clients they are able to serve
on a year round basis. It will not significantly increase the number of total clients that
they can serve at any one time. In the summer they serve about 50 to 60 clients and
most of those are resident clients who are dropped off for a week and they care for
them and provide recreation. During the non-summer months they are limited to 30
clients because they can not feed a large group of people at any one time. They have
housing accommodations for 50 to 60 people but can not feed them all. Their clients
are children and adults with disabilities.
The Public Hearing was opened.
Brice Holasek, 6602 Old Shady Oak Road, asked if one of the houses was moved
from another location a few years back. Stracke indicated it was and they were not
operators of the facility at that time.

Staff Report
Eden Wood Camping and Retreat Center
September 6, 1996
BACKGROUND
The Guide Plan identifies this site as Public Open Space. The property is zoned Public.
Surrounding land uses consist of Glen Lake Golf and Practice Center to the north(currently under
construction), BFI Recycling Center and Midwest Asphalt to the east, zoned industrial, the Chicago,
Milwaukee, St. Paul Railroad and additional Hennepin County property to the south, and Birch
Island Lake to the west.
The site has been used as a camp for many years, including during the existence of the Glen Lake
Sanitorium. Hennepin County has conveyed this property to the City. The City maintains a lease
agreement with Friendship Ventures for the continued use of the property as a camp and retreat
center for the developmentally challenged and other disadvantaged youth.
In 1987, a moving permit was issued to move a house from the old Arteka site (Northwest Swim
and Racquet)to this site near Indian Chief Road. This house is now the administrative office for
the camp.
SITE PLAN
The total land area of the property is 52 acres. The camp is located on approximately a 2 acre
portion of the property immediately adjacent to Birch Island Lake, and the railroad. The site
plan depicts the construction of a new two story 15,000 sq.ft. dining hall and associated parking
lot area. The existing dining hall does not meet current Department of Health requirements, and
will be demolished. All building setbacks meet City code. The Public zoning district does not
specify a maximum base area ratio or floor area ratio requirement. However,based on the
overall site area,the building coverage will be low.
The existing parking lot area is not paved. A new hard surfaced drive aisle and 40 paved
parking spaces will be provide for the project. Parking requirements for this unique use is not
defined by City code. In these circumstances, parking is based on the needs of the use. Since
the clients of the camp are brought to the site by bus,parking has been based on staff and visitor
needs, as defined by the camp administrator.
GRADING/DRAINAGE
Minimal alteration of the site will be necessary. A tree inventory has been provided for the 2
acre portion of the property. Based on this acreage, total significant tree loss is 14%, or 255
caliper inches. Factoring in the remaining acreage and tree cover for the property, tree loss is
estimated at approximately 5%. This would require replacement of 16 caliper inches. The
landscaping plan provides 24 caliper inches of tree replacement, meeting the code requirement.
All storm water run-off will be directed to a storm water drainage basin proposed on the north
side of the new parking area.

UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer and water is currently connected to the administration building near Indian Chief
Road. The existing dining hall uses a cesspool. The State Plumbing Code does not permit the
use of this cesspool. In addition, the Public zoning district requires the use of municipal sewer
and water. The proposal depicts the extension of municipal sewer and water to the new dining
hall, meeting code
SHORELAND ORDINANCE
Birch Island Lake is classified as a Recreational Development Water by the DNR. The
shoreland ordinance requires structures to maintain at least a 200 foot setback from this water
body. The proposed dining hall will be setback approximately 300 feet from the ordinary high
water level, meeting City code. In addition, the shore and bluff impact zones (considered to be
one half of the structure setback) will not be impacted by this proposal.
HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE
All the buildings associated with the original camp are currently being evaluated by the Minnesota
Historical Society(MHS) for National Register of Historic Places eligibility. According to the
consultant working for MHS,the camp is associated with the Glen Lake Sanitorium(demolished)
and was a care facility for children at risk of developing tuberculosis.
The determination of National Register eligibility will be done through the MHS State Historic
Preservation Office,possibly by mid-September.
If Camp Eden Wood is found eligible,the City will need to discuss development plans with MHS.
Delays in the proposed development for the camp would likely result from a determination of
National Register eligibility.
City Staff has requested that the MHS complete its determination of eligibility as soon as
possible.
ARCHITECTURE
The new dining hall will be placed in the same location as the existing dining hall. This location
will minimize tree loss and site alteration. The building will be 15,000 sq.ft. in size and will
maintain a residential look with the use of a pitch roof, and walkout design. Building materials
will consist of asphalt shingles, wood siding, and the use of at least 75% face brick and glass as
required in the Public zoning district.
LANDSCAPING
Based on the building size, a total of 47 caliper inches of landscaping is required. The proposed
3
Id

building will be replacing the existing dining hall, thus no significant gain in building square
footage is proposed for the site. In addition, the camp has planted a number of evergreen trees
on the property over the last few years far exceeding the total caliper inch requirement of the
landscaping code, therefore, no additional planting is recommended.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff would recommend approval of Site Plan Review on 2 acres, based on plans dated
September 6, 1996, this report, and the following:
1. Prior to grading permit issuance, the proponent shall:
A. Submit detailed storm water runoff, utility, and erosion control plans for review
and approval by the City Engineer and Watershed District.
B. Notify the City and Watershed District 48 hours in advance of grading.
C. Install erosion control on the property, as well as tree protection fencing at the
drip line of all trees to be preserved near the grading limits of the development.
Said fencing shall be field inspected by the City Forester prior to any grading.
2. Prior to building permit issuance, the proponent shall:
A. Provide a landscape surety equivalent to 150%of the cost of the landscaping
improvements indicated on the approved plan.
B. Submit detailed building plans to the Inspections Department and Fire Marshal
for their review and approval.
C. Submit building material colors and samples for review by the City Planner.
D. Obtain demolition permits, cap existing wells and septic systems.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
THROUGH: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks,Recreation and Facilities
FROM: Stuart A. Fox, Manager of Parks and Natural Resources
DATE: September 12, 1996
SUBJECT: Supplemental Staff Report to the September 6, 1996 Planning Staff Report for
Edenwood Camping and Retreat Center
BACKGROUND:
The development proposal is being brought forth by Friendship Ventures to make improvements
to the Edenwood Camp and Retreat Center. The site is currently property that was conveyed to the
City of Eden Prairie by Hennepin County and was formerly known as Camp Indian Chief. The City
has a lease arrangement with Friendship Ventures for use of the property as a camp and retreat
center for those who are developmentally challenged or disabled.
The entire site is over 50 acres in size; however, the camp portion is located on a relatively small
portion of the property adjacent to Indian Chief Road and the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul Railroad
tracks.
NATURAL RESOURCES ISSUES
Tree Loss/Landscaping
The staff has visited the site to evaluate the proposed new driveway and building expansion. Based
on the tree inventory that was proposed for the two-acre camp site,the staff has identified 14 trees
that would be lost due to construction. The trees that would be lost include some large red oak,
sugar maple, basswood, and green ash. In calculating the tree loss, the staff compared the 255
diameter inches of trees lost due to construction with the number of trees indicated on the two-acre
camp site. This resulted in a 14% loss of significant trees. However, a more appropriate way of
comparing it is to take a look at the entire 50 acre site, and at that point the staff calculated that the
tree loss would only be 5% of the significant trees on the site. The replacement required by
ordinance would be 16 caliper inches of trees and the landscaping plan that was submitted provides
24 inches of tree replacement meeting code requirements. The trees that are being put in are slightly
different from the existing trees, however, they are designed to provide for some varied visual
interest on the front of the building. Trees that have been selected include thornless honey locust,
Colorado spruce, and Norway maple.

NURP Pond
Because this site is putting in a bituminous surface for a driveway and parking areas, a NURP pond
is required. However,the Engineering Department has evaluated the site for suitability of such a
pond and has made recommendation that a holding pond be constructed. This pond would be
adjacent to the lowest area of the site where currently all storm water collects. It is felt that because
of the high porosity of the soils in this area that most of the storm water runoff generated would go
into this pond for a short period of time before percolating into the ground. If at sometime in the
future the bottom of the pond became sealed,the staff would recommend taking steps to install a
culvert outlet to match NURP pond standards, which simply state that no water will be discharged
off the site or into a wetland at a greater rate than what naturally occurs.
Sidewalks/Trails
There are no public trails or sidewalks associated with this project. Currently, the camp has an
internal series of informal hiking and walking trails-44e for use by campers only.
Wetland Protection
Currently, there is a wetland on a portion of the camp; however,this site will not be impacted by
any of the grading or construction work. Steps are being taken by the proponent to make sure that
new sewer and water services are brought into the site to handle the fresh and waste water demands
needed for the new building, as well as any future expansion on the site.
RECOMMENDATION:
This project was reviewed by the Planning Commission at its September 9, 1996 meeting and was
approved as per staff recommendations in the Planning Staff Report.
Staff would recommend the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission approve the
Camp Edenwood dining hall replacement plan as per the Planning Commission recommendations
and information included in this supplemental staff report.

IV. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
A. Edenwood Camping and Retreat Center
Staff referred the Commission to a memo dated September 12, 1996, from
Stuart A. Fox, Manager of Parks and Natural Resources; and a Staff Report
dated September 6, 1996, from Michael D. Franzen, City Planner.
Ed Stricke, president of Friendship Ventures, reviewed his development
proposal with the Commission. This plan represents a portion of the
property that is owned by the City that they lease. They run programs for
children and adults with disabilities. The major developments are the road
coming into the main portion of the property, constructing a new year round
program center,dining hall, and replacing four old structures. The plan has
very little overall impact in terms of the environment. At the
recommendation of staff, they changed the orientation of the building
slightly to save more trees on the lake front area. The tree loss for the entire
park site is about 5 percent. The access road is a paved road with parking.
The lines go very well with the natural topography of the site. Currently
there is runoff into a holding pond area and there is not any likelihood of
overflow into the wetland area.
Fox reviewed the Staff Report with the Commission. This area was given to
the City of Eden Prairie by Hennepin County when they wanted to get out
of the property lease business. There is a long term lease as long as the
property is used as it was when it was taken over, and that was for
handicapped activity for youths and adults. This particular site is a relatively
small area of the entire 37 acres. Staff calculated a total of 14 trees would
be lost due to construction in that area. The architect made some adjustments
due to staffs recommendation of shifting the building to save the large mass
of trees to the west. They did not inventory the whole area but estimate tree
loss to be about 5 percent of significant trees. The trees that are being put in
are slightly different from the existing trees; however,they are designed to
provide for some varied visual interest on the front of the building.
The NURP pond mentioned is not technically a NURP pond but a depression
to collect storm water. This has been looked at by the Engineering
Department and they feel it does meet the standards. However, at some time
in the future if the sedimentation basin became clogged, they may want to
look at some type of discharge pipe. There is no need for any sidewalks or

trails. The camp has their own internal trails and sidewalk system mainly of
gravel. The public does not access this area at all. There is no grading into
the wetlands and new sewer and water services must be brought into this site
because there currently is a septic system. It's being brought into the site to
handle the fresh and waste water demands needed for the new building, as
well as any future expansion on the site.
Bowman was concerned that the tree calculation was determined on the
entire 37 acres versus two and a half acres. Stricke explained that there may
be future development but most of the 53-acre site is not land mass. A lot of
that is wetland and lake, and part of the property goes out into the middle of
Birch Island Lake. They are interested in retaining as much open space as
possible for tree space with vegetation. There is no interest in building
buildings to cover the entire ground because they need the open space for
their programs and activities. This building is replacement of an existing
building and any future development would fall under that category. The
new building is slightly larger than the existing one but it replaces four
structures instead of one.
Koenig was concerned about the Historical Preservation Society. Stricke
replied at this point there has been no determination as to the historical
significance of the two structures they were concerned about. At this point
they're determining whether it meets minimum criteria to be considered
historical.
MOTION: Brown moved, seconded by Koenig, to approve
recommendations as per Staff Report of September 12, 1996 for the
improvements of the dining hall. Motion carried 5-0-1 with one
abstention by Jacobson.
B. The Hills of Eden Prairie
Staff referred the Commission to a memo dated September 12, 1996, from
Stuart A. Fox, Manager of Parks and Natural Resources., and a Staff Report
dated September 6, 1996, from Michael D. Franzen, City Planner.
Dave Pavelka, owner and developer, reviewed his development proposal
with the Commission and gave a brief history about the land owned by his
grandfather for 93 years. He explained there are three hills. One is the high
hill near the entrance, one is a low hill in the center, and there's an area that's
a medium size hill which they call the oak knoll. In the 93 years his

SUBJECT: Camp Edenwood Retreat Center
Dear Mr. Anderson:
Thank you for calling me regarding the Camp Edenwood Retreat Center.
The City recently received a development proposal for the camp from Friendship Ventures which
leases the property from the City. Demolition of the dining hall and several nearby buildings are
being considered along with a new replacement dining hall, road, parking lot, and utilities.
As I mentioned in our conversation on the 27th, the City owns the property, which is also
contiguous to Birch Island Park. Friendship Ventures has a lease agreement with the City to
operate a resident, day or outpost camping - recreation program for developmentally challenged
children and adults within Hennepin County. I believe the camp has served in this capacity for
over 30 years. It was very interesting to learn from you that prior to this recent use the camp
served children at risk of tuberculosis and was affiliated with the Glen Lake Sanitorium.
Unfortunately, none of the City's recent cultural resource survey's included Camp Edenwood. It
is apparent that an important historic property was missed.
To assist you in completing your evaluation of Camp Edenwood, you should be aware of the
current development review schedule for the camp. It should go as follows:
September 9th Planning Commission
October 1st City Council - 1st Reading
November 5th City Council -2nd Reading
Considering the historical significance of the camp, the Heritage Preservation Commission should
also review and comment on the proposed demolition of existing camp buildings. The Heritage
Preservation Commission meets September 16th.

If you find that the camp is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, then I recommend
that determination be made as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to call me at 949-

MEMORANDUM
TO: Eden Prairie City Council
FROM: Heritage Preservation Commission
DATE: October 29, 1996
SUBJECT: Heritage Preservation Commission Recommendations for
Glen Lake Children's Camp/Edenwood Center
FINDINGS
Historical Significance
The Heritage Preservation Commission(HPC)reviewed the report and National Register of
Historic Places eligibility recommendation for the Glen Lake Children's Camp submitted by
historical consultant Rolf Anderson(attached). About two weeks ago,the State Historic
Preservation Office staff in St. Paul also reviewed Mr. Anderson's report and concurred with his
findings and determined that the Glen Lake Children's Camp is eligible for listing on the National
Register under Criterion A.
It is also the opinion of the HPC that the camp is eligible for inclusion on the National Register.
Furthermore,the Camp is eligible for listing as a local Heritage Site in accordance with City
Code, Ordinance No. 38-90. Specifically, under local ordinance,the Glen Lake Children's Camp
meets Criteria 1 and 2 which state:
1. It has character, interest or value as part of the development, heritage or cultural
characteristics of the City, State of Minnesota or the United States.
2. Its location as the site of a significant historic event.
According to the City Code, Ordinance No. 38-90, it is only necessary that a Heritage Site meet
one(1)or more of the eight(8) criteria listed, (Finding of Significance attached). Based on the
fmdings of Mr.Anderson, concurrence of the State Historic Preservation Office, and the HPC,
the Glen Lake Children's Camp clearly represents a valuable,irreplaceable historic resource. In
addition, Section 11.05, Subdivision 1 states the following:
1
I14
Declaration of Public Policy and Purpose.
The Council of the City of Eden Prairie (hereinafter the "Council")declares as a matter of
public policy that the preservation,protection,perpetuation and use of areas,places,
buildings, structures, and other objects have historic, aesthetic or community interest or
value, benefits the health,prosperity, education and welfare of the community. The
purposes of this chapter are to: (1) Safeguard the heritage of the City by preserving sites
and structures which reflect significant elements of the City's cultural, social, economic,
political,visual or architectural history; (2)Promote the preservation and continued use of
historic sites and structures for the education and general welfare of the people of the
City; and(3) Foster civic pride in the beauty and notable accomplishments of the past.
Because the Glen Lake Children's Camp represents such a singularly unique historic resource, the
HPC feels that this Council should consider alternatives that protect the Camp's historic features,
yet will fully accommodate the current users facility and program needs. City staff has included
three(3) alternative site options (attached) that could be explored further.
The City Council should consider the benefits and value of protecting and preserving known
historic resources before permitting their destruction,particularly since the buildings are City
property.
Integrity
From a preservation standpoint, integrity is the ability of a property to convey its significance.
The seven(7) aspects of integrity are:
• location
• design
• setting
• materials
• workmanship
• feeling
• association
To be listed in the National Register of Historic Places, a property must meet National Register
criteria and must have integrity.
The Glen Lake Children's Camp conveys a high degree of integrity,which combined with its
known historical associations leaves no doubt about its National Register eligibility.
The HPC also requested the City Director of Inspections provide a structural evaluation and
report on the camp buildings. This was completed October 16 (report attached). This inspection
was done with the idea of converting the buildings to year round use, which is not the
recommendation of the HPC. Many of the deficiencies noted in the report are maintenance issues
2
'5
and appear to be caused by negligence in performing cyclical maintenance. Despite the need for
maintenance, these buildings are in fact in good condition.
The Inspections Department has estimated the cost of demolition of the dining hall to be
approximately $7,000.
The Inspections Department has also provided estimated costs associated with various
rehabilitation options of the existing dining hall. These costs reflect an intuitive analysis,and may
vary based on detailed analysis.
STABILIZATION OPTIONS
- Leave as is future demolition cost
Short-term $10,000 - $15,000
-reroof
-repair siding
-window repair
- Long-term
-repair foundation $40,000 - $60,000
-repair siding
-new roof system
-window replacement
-replace rotted/decaying material
-electrical upgrades
ADAPTIVE USE OPTION
- Complete renovation
-all long-term items identified above Costs based on specific use
-insulation of building-comparable
-ADA access to new costruction costs
-municipal utilities
-repair/removal of fireplace
-heating system
-replace foundation
-interior wall covering
-rest rooms
HPC recommendations for the Glen Lake Children's Camp, as an initial step, are establishment of
a cyclical maintenance program to stabilize present conditions and prevent continued decline due
3
to deferred maintenance("short term"option). The HPC further recommends that the building be
studied for additional use options as the long range goal.
The buildings do not require costly historic restoration and the HPC is not recommending any.
The cost estimates provided are for building rehabilitation.
Funding for Rehabilitation
If the City Council would direct the Heritage Preservation Commission to pursue funding for
planning and rehabilitation of the camp buildings,the following sources are available to the
HPC/City.
• CLG (Certified Local Government) Grant
Available to HPC's through the State Historic Preservation Office. Funds could be used
to prepare a reuse study for the camp, including rehabilitation plans and costs.
• State Grant-in-Aid
State funds made available through the Minnesota Historical Society. Funds are used for
preservation projects including the rehabilitation of historic buildings.
Other grant sources are available, e.g.,ISTEA,however,the above mentioned options are
specifically established for preservation of historic resources and the HPC has successfully
secured these grants for the past five(5)years.
RECOMMENDATION
The Heritage Preservation Commission recommends the following for City Council consideration:
(1) Preserve and Protect the Glen Lake Children's Camp. Consider alternate sites
which do not include demolition of the existing dining hall and garage.
With Friendship Venture's program and facility needs met in the new building,the
old dining hall could serve a City recreational need. The HPC recommends
considering adaptive use for the old dining hall.
The Commission feels that the preservation of the existing camp buildings should
not be construed to mean that the children and adults using the camp will be
negatively impacted.
(2) If after considering all options to the demolition of the Glen Lake Children's
Camp,the Council feels destruction of the buildings is the only option,the HPC
recommends the following conditions:
4
• Prior to the issuance of a demolition permit for the property, Friendship
Ventures provide documentation verifying secured funds for the
construction of the new building, and have applied for a building permit.
• Prior to issuance of a demolition permit,the entire historic camp be
documented according to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Architectural and Engineering Documentation,Federal Register,pages
44730-44734. Cost estimate: $5,000.00
• Prepare a plan for the cyclical maintenance of all remaining historic
structures,buildings, and objects remaining extant at Edenwood Center.

Dear John:
Enclosed is a brief synopsis of both the history of the Glen Lake
Children's Camp and historic contexts associated with the
property. Additional information about the site is in the process
of being gathered.
As you may know, I am an historical consultant under contract with
the State Historic Preservation Office of the Minnesota Historical
Society to conduct an evaluation of three sites in Minnesota
associated with the treatment of tuberculosis, one of which was
the Glen Lake Children's Camp. The site has been determined
eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
The camp is a rare and unique site which is unlikely to have many
counterparts anywhere in the United States.
I would be happy to work with the City of Eden Prairie and
Friendship Ventures, which now utilizes the site, in order to find
a solution that preserves the historic significance of the Glen
Lake Children's Camp and also meets the needs of current user. I
know the State Historic Preservation Office is also willing to
offer their professional services as well.
Sincerely,
Rolf T. Anderson
Survey Results and Evaluation
Glen Lake Children ' s Camp
The Glen Lake Children's Camp is located at 6350 Indian Chief
Road, also known as Birch Island Road, in western Hennepin County,
in the present day City of Eden Prairie. The camp is located on
the grounds of Hennepin County' s Glen Lake (tuberculosis)
Sanatorium which was razed in its entirely, with the exception of
the Children's Camp, by the county in 1993. The camp is located
south of the site of the main complex and consists of about a 12
acre site on the eastern shore of Birch Island Lake.
The camp includes a Dining Hall and Recreation Building, a large
Dormitory, one Garage, a Stone Monument, all from the period, and
possibly an additional garage from the period. There are also
four buildings from the modern era on the site, as well as a late
19th or early 20th century farmhouse which was moved to the site.
The camp was constructed in 1925 and was a continuation of a camp
for tuberculous children established in the summer of 1906 at West
River Road and Lake Street by Mrs. George H. (Leonora Hall)
Christian. Twenty-two children were registered. In 1909 this
camp was transferred to Glenwood Park (Theodore Wirth) where it
was operated by the Visiting Nurses Association. A site for a
permanent camp was sought and Glen Lake Sanatorium was the logical
location.1 The Citizen's Aid Society, a foundation established by
George H. Christian in 1918, funded the construction which totaled
$12, 141.90.2
The camp was built in the spring of 1925 and opened on June 12,
1925. It includes of a large L-shaped Dining Hall and Recreation
Building which overlooks the lake. The frame building is covered
with a medium pitch hip roof and contains a large brick fireplace.
The adjacent Dormitory is a long rectangular building with one
wing for boys and one for girls which are separated by central
staff quarters, bath rooms, and locker rooms. The building is
covered with an intersecting hip roof. Initially there was space
for 60 children, 30 in each wing. But shortly after construction
two isolation rooms were partitioned off in each wing which
reduced the total capacity from 60 to 54. However, it appears the
camp usually exceeded that number. The camp was dedicated to Mr.
1J. Arthur Myers, Invited and Conquered: HistoricAl_Sketch of Tuberculosis in
Minnesota, (St. Paul: Webb Publishing Company, 1949), pp. 406-407.

and Mrs. Christian who had both died by that time. An inscription
on a large boulder at the camp reads as follows: "Glen Lake
Children's Camp - Presented by the Citizen's Aid Society and
Gratefully Dedicated to the Memory of Mrs. and Mrs. George H.
Christian who Maintained the First Camp in Minneapolis and Whose
Hope was for the Health and Happiness of all Children. "
Architects of the camp were likely to have been the firm of Sund
and Dunham which designed all the buildings at Glen Lake. The
camp closed for the year on September 3, 1925, after 84 days of
operation. It had a total of 3,839 patient days with an average
daily attendance of 45.5 children.
The camp was limited to children who reacted positively to a
tuberculin (Mantoux) test and whose home conditions were such as
to warrant special care. The camp was built
. . .in order to provide a summer in the country for
children infected with the tubercle bacillus, who, in
the opinion of a physician, might need a summer to help
them prevent their infection from developing into active
disease. "3
With this goal in mind, children were encouraged to remain at the
camp all summer. The camp generally opened the first Monday after
school ended and closed one week before school resumed. The
children ranged from ages 4 to 14 and there appeared to be roughly
75 children enrolled in the camp each summer.
Camp admission records exist for the years 1925-1934, and
discharge records for the years 1927-1934.4 From 1925-34 there
were a total of 742 admissions to the camp, although this appears
to represent 528 different children since children could return
year after year. The readmissions would retain the same admission
number. These records also indicate when a child would transfer
to the Children's Building at the main sanatorium, presumably
having developed active tuberculosis.
In 1926 the Minneapolis B.P.O. Elks Lodge No. 44 donated three
swings, two slides, three turning rods, seven teeters, and one
ocean wave to the camp. A plaque affixed to the Dormitory
acknowledges the donation.
The daily routine included typical activities for a summer camp
with various recreational activities and craft projects. The
children were transported to Excelsior several times a week by
truck to swim (Birch Island Lake was not suitable for swimming) .
A movie was shown once a week in the Sanatorium Auditorium and
certain activities were arranged between the summer camp children

the State Archives collection for Glen Lake Sanatorium.
ace
and some of the children from the main Children's Building. In
the early years emphasis was placed on weight gain. Each year on
the 4th of July Mrs. George C. Christian (daughter-in-law of Mr.
and Mrs. George H. Christian) visited the camp and presented gifts
and prizes.
Annual and bi-annual reports for Glen Lake Sanatorium have been
located for the years 1931-1943 which provide details about the
camp from year to year. The report for the years 1940-41 noted
that, "Both seasons were unusually successful and contributed much
to the health of the future workers of this country. " The camp
continued in operation through 1950.
I have concluded that the Glen Lake Children's Camp is eligible
for listing on the National Register of Historic Places due to its
significance in the following areas:
There were two additional children's camps in Minnesota. A
summer camp opened in 1908 in Cherokee Heights, West St. Paul,
where Dr. H. Longstreet Taylor was medical director. This camp
survived only two or three summers when after those residing in
the neighborhood held a mass meeting in opposition to the camp.
In 1910 the Eva Shapiro Memorial Camp was opened at White Bear
Lake. It was built and maintained by the Ramsey County anti-
tuberculosis committee with the Wilder Charities furnishing
maintenance for some of the children. This camp, which
accommodated 33 children, was discontinued in 1913. None of these
camps are known to survive and thus the Glen Lake Children's Camp
may be considered the sole surviving example of a very unique and
rare property type: namely, a summer camp for children infected
with tuberculosis.
The camp would also be considered significant for its association
with the treatment of tuberculosis in general. There are few
surviving facilities state-wide associated with the treatment of
TB and there are virtually no surviving facilities in Hennepin
County. Glen Lake Sanatorium, Hopewell (Parkview) Hospital,
Thomas Hospital, and Lymanhurst School are all believed to have
been demolished. And the camp is the only surviving reminder of
the extensive Glen Lake Sanatorium, a huge complex of buildings
that became the largest sanatorium in Minnesota.
Finally, the camp is significant for its association with George
H. and Leonora Hall Children, early pioneers and philanthropists
in the battle against TB. From the beginning of organized
tuberculosis work the Christians pioneered many tuberculosis
projects. In 1903 Mrs. Christian employed and the paid the salary
of the first tuberculosis nurse in Minneapolis. The death of
their own child to tuberculosis in 1906 intensified their efforts.
The Christians built Thomas Hospital for tuberculosis and
21
presented it to the United Lutheran Society. Mrs. Christian also
convinced the City of Minneapolis to establish a tuberculosis
division in the city hospital and built Hopewell Cottage and
maintained it for two years before the city assumed operation.
Prior to her death in 1916 Leonora Hall Christian initiated plans
for the construction of the Children's Building at Glen Lake
Sanatorium. The building was funded at a cost of $156,203.43 by
the Citizen's Aid Society, the Christian foundation. The building
was dedicated to her memory and a plaque in the entrance read as
follows:
The Children's Sanatorium
This Building is Affectionately
Dedicated to the Memory of
Leonora Hall Christian
In Reverent Gratitude and Recognition
of her Pioneer Work in the Control
and Prevention of Tuberculosis
Erected by the Citizen's Aid Society -- 1922
Designed by Sund and Dunham, the building represented the high
point of the design of children's facilities in Minnesota. With
its rooftop terraces and balconies cascading off the south facade,
it represented an outstanding example of how architectural design
was used to promote the treatment of tuberculosis. The final
project by the Citizen's Aid Society at Glen Lake was the
construction of the Surgical and Vocational Rehabilitation Wing in
1931 at a cost of $139,000.00. The foundation was self-
liquidating and roughly half its million dollar endowment was
spent on TB related projects. The Glen Lake Children's Camp
represents the only extant project associated with George H. and
Leonora Hall Christian involving the treatment of tuberculosis.
The buildings at the camp retain a high degree of integrity with
only minimal alterations. The buildings remain seasonal and have
never been winterized. Several newer buildings have been
introduced to the site, however.
In about 1993 the camp was transferred from Hennepin County to the
City of Eden Prairie. In recent years the camp has been used for
programs for the developmentally disabled. The current lessee
would like to demolish the Dining Hall and Recreation Building and
construct a year-around structure. However, I believe this would
destroy the eligibility of the site because not only would one of
the two major resources be destroyed but another non-contributing
building in the place of the Dining Hall would begin to overpower
the site and the surviving Dormitory.

Memorandum
To: John Gertz, Historical Preservation Specialist
From: Kevin Schmieg, Director of Inspections /��
Date: October 18, 1996 '/
Subject: Inspection of Buildings at Camp Edenwood
The inspection I performed at Camp Edenwood included the
kitchen/dining building, the shed, and the bunkhouse . It is my
understanding that Friendship Ventures wishes to utilize the
facility year round.
The following is a list of deficiencies I found with the
buildings . All of the items would need to be addressed in
converting the facilities to year round use and many would need
to be corrected to maintain the buildings in their current state .
FOUNDATION:
• No perimeter footings, the structure is placed on
piers and as such difficult to protect plumbing
pipes from freezing.
. Several of the pier footings have been subjected
to frost heaving.
• No positive connection could be identified between
the pier footings and the building floor system.
FLOOR SYSTEM:
• Not level due to frost heaving of pier footings
• Rim joists have rotated causing withdrawal of
joist nailing.
▪ Some members of the floor system are in the early
stages of decay.
ROOF FRAMING:
• The roof system is cabled. The roof system should
be analyzed for stability.
▪ Rafters are undersized for current code
requirements . There is evidence of rafter
deflection.
▪ With 2x4 rafters and no ceiling joists there is no
place to install insulation without a
reconfiguration of the roof framing.
• Roof boards show signs of water damage and some of
them are in varying stages of decay.
ROOFING:
▪ The rolled roofing is poorly installed and in need
of replacement .
2Cv
Camp Edenwood
Page 2
SIDING:
▪ Many of the siding boards are cracked and in need
of replacement .
WINDOWS :
▪ The windows are single pane glazing, not sealed or
weather proof, and showing signs of decay.
DOORS :
• The doors are uninsulated.
FIREPLACE:
Improper clearance to combustibles .
RESTROOMS :
▪ None present .
KITCHEN FACILITIES :
• Not acceptable to the Health Department .
ADA ACCESS:
The building does not meet ADA guidelines .
I found that the condition of the majority of the wood framing
members were in surprisingly good shape . I feel, however, that
should the building be insulated and enclosed without significant
measures to weatherproof the structure, rapid decay would be
inevitable . The reason that the framing members are in the
condition they are in is because of the exposed open
construction. The open construction does not contain concealed
spaces to trap moisture and allows air to circulate around the
members minimizing decay.
It is my opinion that very significant and costly renovation
would have to be conducted to convert the buildings into a year
round facility. I further feel that through the renovation
process much of the original building would be lost .

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Scott A. Kipp, Senior Planner
DATE: October 29, 1996
SUBJECT: ALTERNATIVE SITES FOR CAMP EDENWOOD DINING HALL
The State Historic Preservation Office has made a determination that the existing Camp
Edenwood dormitory,dining hall, and an adjacent out building is eligible for the National Register
of Historic Places. Friendship Ventures is proposing construction of a new dining hall in the same
location as the existing dining hall. The new building is necessary to meet current State Health
Department standards.
At its October 1, 1996 meeting, the City Council continued action on the request of Friendship
Ventures for construction of a new dining hall in order for the City's Heritage Preservation
Commission to review and report on the historic issues.
As part of this review, Staff has prepared some alternative site locations for the proposed dining
hall. These alternatives are based on preserving the existing dining hall building, and other
structures associated to Historic Register eligibility. The purpose of this analysis is to provide the
City Council with a technical pro and con comparison of the various options to help in the
decision making process.
SITE 1
This site shifts the proposed building 60 feet to the northeast. The overall topography at this
location is very similar to the current proposal.
Benefits: Concerns:
• overall building design can be maintained • overall view to lake is reduced
• view of the lake is provided • buildings are relatively close
• less roadway construction necessary • some additional tree loss
• shorter utility lines necessary
• additional tree loss is minimal
• no variances required
• closer proximity to dormitory
,SITE 2
This site location shifts the building the greatest distance from the lake view and on to an area of
greater grade change.
Benefits: Concerns:
• view of the lake is provided • building redesign necessary
• less roadway construction necessary • overall view to lake is reduced
• shorter utility lines necessary • additional tree loss
• no setback variances required
• closer access to parking
• greater separation of buildings
SITE 3
This site location provides views to the lake consistent with the current proposal,but also into
some property currently leased from the railroad.
Benefits: Concerns:
• view of lake is maintained • some building redesign necessary
• initial site sought by Friendship Ventures • greatest tree loss
• setback variances required
• building onto railroad property
• longer utility lines necessary
• farthest proximity to dormitory
Friendship Ventures has indicated that the primary concerns relating to the relocation of the
proposed dining hall are as follows:
1. Two of the options will impact the amount of recreational open space that they are trying
to maximize.
2. If the existing dining hall is to remain,who will be responsible for the rehabilitation and
maintenance required.
3. If the existing dining hall is to remain,what are the safety and liability concerns to Camp
Edenwood.
4. A relocation of the proposed dining hall could have an effect on the investment benefit
from Friendship Ventures perspective.
5. A relocation of the proposed dining hall will require some level of building redesign,
adding to the cost for Friendship Ventures.

DEPARTMENT: ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Community Development
Chris Enger EDEN BLUFFS
Scott Kipp
Requested Council Action:
• Adopt an Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning District Amendment in RM-6.5 Zoning
District on 1.53 acres;
• Approve a Resolution for PUD Concept Amendment on 44 acres;
• Approve a Resolution for Preliminary Plat of 1.53 acres;
Background:
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the project at its October 14, 1996
meeting.
The project had been continued at the September 9, 1996 Planning Commission meeting so the proponent
could hold a neighborhood meeting to address drainage, landscaping, and building quality issues. The
neighborhood meeting was held on October 7, 1996, with the plans revised to address neighborhood
concerns.
The existing Townhome Association has raised concern regarding the quality of construction by the same
developer. The original townhomes were constructed with a masonite product that has deteriorated. The
proponent met with the Association to discuss the concerns and have offered to help put them in contact with
the manufacturer of the building material. The materials to be used for the current project consist of face
brick, vinyl siding and trim.
The proponent is working with the Eden Bluffs Townhome Association to obtain a shared access agreement
for the westerly building. This will be required prior to any building permit issuance.
Supporting Reports:
1. Resolution for PUD Concept Amendment
2. Resolution for Preliminary Plat
3. Planning Commission minutes for September 9, 1996 and October 14, 1996.
4. Staff Reports dated September 6, 1996 and October 11, 1996.

Planning Commission
Monday, September 9, 1996
B. EDEN BLUFFS by Baton Corporation. Request for PUD Concept Amendment on
44 acres,PUD District Review on 1.53 acres,Zoning District Amendment in the RM-
6.5 District on 1.53 acres, Site Plan Review on 1.53 acres, and Preliminary Plat for
1.53 acres. Location: Sherman Drive at County Road 1.
Randy Zejdlik, developer,reviewed his development proposal with the Commission.
They downsized their original plan, which was approved for 10 units, down to six
units. The style of the units changed from two story tuck-under townhome to one
level and walkout townhome. Each unit provides about 1,284 square feet on one
level with the prices starting at around $132,000. Depending on location and
amenities, the price can jump up to $170,000. There is a model in Inver Grove
Heights and the colors used were beige with gray roof and white trim. They may
change this project to a darker color like taupe but in the same color range as
recommended in the Staff Report.
Kipp reviewed the Staff Report with the Commission. Access to the westerly units
will be a shared access with the existing townhome to the north. The design is more
of a transitional design from a two story townhome to the residential single family
design to the south. The units are walkouts on the west side and ramblers on the east
side of Sherman Drive. The density of the project is approximately 3.9 units per acre,
well under the maximum of 6.7 units per acre provided by City Code. One revision
needs to take place prior to the City Council's review regarding the total caliper inches
of landscaping. Staff recommended increasing the caliper inches based on the square
footage of the building. An additional fire hydrant needs to be located. Staff
recommended that the architecture be revised to include specific shingle color and
trim color to blend with the townhomes to the north. Staff recommends approval
with those recommendations included.
Ismail was concerned about the shared access of the westerly building with the
townhomes to the north of the property. Kipp explained the shared access and how
it came about.
The Public Hearing was opened.
Victor Daurte, 9983 Old Wagon Trail, commented that the plan is incomplete. It
does not include Old Wagon Trail or where the land adjoins the proposed land for
development. He asked if this parcel of land was part of the previous parcel that was
developed. Kipp replied that the west parcel was approved for a 6 unit building back
in 1983.

Planning Commission
Monday, September 9, 1996
Daurte expressed concern that when he bought his property he was told that property
was not a big enough lot for the same type of structure because there wasn't enough
room. His land joins this property and he would never have bought it if he knew that.
Kipp replied that he has no control over what the developer's or realitors for the
neighboring development told their buyers. When Staff meets with developers they
sit and discuss the surrounding land use and approval.
Duarte was concerned about a low priced unit developed next to a high priced unit
devaluating the higher priced unit. He moved to Eden Prairie because of the open
space and was concerned about buffers to divide these properties. He was also
concerned about the storm water drainage and the color. He suggested a berm and
trees to be used for a buffer.
Kipp indicated there will not be any berm constructed along the west side but there
is going to be a number of additional caliper inches of landscaping on the property.
There is quite a landscaping buffer currently planted along that boundary of Old
Wagon Trail. Regarding open space, there is a small wetland at the southwest corner
of the property and existing trees. The storm sewer is along Sherman Drive.
Sandstad explained that they use buffers, fencing,berms or significant distance when
they have different land uses next to each other. He does not perceive a need to
buffer townhomes from townhomes.
Jerry Marx, 9961 Old Wagon Trail, agreed with the comments made by his neighbor.
He was concerned about there not being a buffer because his house is lower than this
development and when cars come the headlights shine in his home. It can also
become a dangerous situation if the cars ever slipped over the curb. He was also
concerned about a drainage problem on his property that doesn't drain.
Don Longshore, 9985 Old Wagon Trail, commented he has concerns about the
transition from the new development to their development. He feels strongly that
some kind of buffer would be highly desirable. His home, Mr. Duarte's home and Mr.
Marx's home are all to the west of the new development which will have a great
impact on them.
Richard Schultak, 422 West County Road D, New Brighton, noted he works for
Wooddale Realty which is a subsidarary of Wooddale Builders and shares the same
concerns as the previous speakers. The new project is up six to eight feet higher than
Old Wagon Trail and it creates a problem with the car lights shining in. He urged the
Commission to consider a buffer and was also concerned about the drainage.

Planning Commission
Monday, September 9, 1996
Joann Hazuka, 10647 Sherman Drive, noted she lives in the Eden Bluffs complex and
expressed concern about the developer because they have learned he cuts corners.
Eden Bluffs is a 13 year old property and they are being hit hard with assessments for
items that have deteriorated well before their life expectancy. They have put on a new
roof in the last year and siding will have to be done next year. She handed out copies
of a document from an insurance company who hired an inspector to take a look at
the roofs.
The document was dated April 4, 1994 and indicated the wind damage to the shingles
is the result of improper and inappropriate securement at the time of their initial
installation. The shingles continue to be very vulnerable to wind damage and
additional, partial, or complete dislodging can be expected during periods of even
moderate winds. Isolated repairs to the current damaged areas cannot be expected
to minimize the potential for additional wind damage or to minimize the potential for
leakage from the other deficiencies noted above. The inspector's conclusion was the
shingles were improperly secured when installed. The flashing sleeve fasteners were
exposed and unsealed. The flanges were typically unsealed. There are leakage and
condensation risks that exist. They were assessed over $1,200 last year for the
roofing and they are looking at about $5,000 per unit for siding.
She was also concerned about the access driveway because Baton Corporation never
mentioned it to them. After speaking with neighbors along the south side there was
a concern about flooding as a result of this development. It's too late for them to seek
legal compensation for substandard work. Her concern is for the future neighbors and
quality structures in the neighborhood and their values.
Jim Miller, 10000 Kearny Lane, expressed concern about the kind of grading between
the new building and his lot. It's a runoff ravine at a low level. He has watched his
neighbor float around in there with a canoe. He was also concerned about the
drainage. He expressed concern about single family homes adjacent to townhomes.
He has a lot of privacy and was concerned about the distance of this new project to
his home and the impact on the value his home.
Kipp indicated the existing wetland elevation is approximately 832 and Mr. Miller's
home is probably about the 838 range. The proposed townhouse is at 860. It's a
higher elevation on the north side of that pond and it would be a walkout design.
Miller asked if there is going to be a ravine or draining between his property and the
new one. Kipp replied the Engineering Department is looking at the draining issues.
Ron Szmergalski, 10648 Jackson Drive, noted he was the man with the kids and the
canoe and showed where he lives on the map. He expressed concern about the
8

Planning Commission
Monday, September 9, 1996
grading and the height. He was concerned about having additional water runoff on
his property as a result of raising the level of land to build these townhomes. He
noted that his garden is at the bottom of his site and it's three foot tall in the back. He
had to raise it two years ago because it kept getting flooded out in the Spring. He
was also concerned about the number of trees and how the site would be developed
because there is a significant number of large trees and tall in height directly between
his house and the existing townhouses. He questioned what the lot line distance is
from the two projects. Kipp indicated it's approximately 150 to 200 feet.
Eric Isom, 10876 Dashmond Drive, was concerned that the developer's plans did not
give a full flavor of the project, that it was incomplete. He strongly feels the
background of the developer should be checked out. He expressed concern about the
grading in the rear of the property where the units are shown because there is a very
steep slope down into the wetland area. He was also concerned about the additional
runoff from the roofs going into the backyards and the erosion that will occur on the
steep slope. He questioned the impact they're going to have on the wetland. He
wanted to know what the fate was of the existing trees in the area behind the
townhomes because they serve as an excellent transition from the higher density
townhomes to the single family homes. Removal of those trees will significantly
deteriorate that area for both the townhomes and the single family homes. He was
also concerned about the distance between the single family homes and the two unit
townhouse complex because it's only about 30 to 40 feet range. He asked how in
depth of a look did the Engineering Department review the drainage issue.
Kipp indicated the Planning Staff, Engineering Staff, and Park Staff review these
plans. They will continue to review the drainage and will make sure it works properly
prior to building permits.
Isom was concerned that the drainage issue is not beingreviewed in depth because
g p
he spoke to a Randy Slick in the Engineering Department and he was not aware of
this project. He would like to see the 100 year flood level in effect as part of the
drainage review. He asked that the trees remain in the area. It's time for corporations
to make a commitment in some way saying they will leave those trees there so the
property values don't decrease and they do have a transition zone.
Lynn Gonzo, 10647 Sherwood Drive, expressed concern about the drainage problems
because you can not see the seriousness of the problem by looking at a map. She has
very strong concerns about the developer and there has been no communication with
him. The proposed units are an extension of their own units and yet they have had no
communication from the developer. The driveway issue has not yet been addressed
which is a concern of hers. She was concerned about whether the new homeowners
9
Planning Commission
Monday, September 9, 1996
will be told their neighbors had to deal with assessments due to premature rotting of
the property, and will they have to ensue those assessments or be exempt from it. She
commented that there would have been more residents present but they were told
through the City that this project is a done deal and felt attending the Planning
Commission was a waste of their time.
Ismail was very uncomfortable about the statement that the project is a done deal
because he takes his job very seriously. He asked for the name of the City employee
who stated this. Gonzo said she was told this by someone else which makes her a
third party so she was hesitant in giving a name. Isom stated he got the same
impression that it was a done deal.
Kathryn Mullis, 10770 Jackson Drive, commented when she received notice of the
meeting she made phone calls and her neighbors to the right and left made phone
calls. They were told that the project had been approved and the meeting is for sort
of making decisions on some planning aspects.
Clinton stated this is not a rubber stamp commission. They do change projects based
on their merit for development. They have to deal with the laws of this City and
projects are approved according to the law. Most of the commissioners do get a
chance to look at the sites in question. They don't have all the facts and that's the
reason for the public hearing to get input from the residents. If the information they
get changes the picture, they will not approve a project.
Kipp indicated he has been working for the City for 13 years and he has never said to
anyone that any project is a done deal. This project was originally reviewed in 1983,
approved for 10 units on these two lots. He indicated to residents that this proposal
is an amendment to that project and the purpose of this meeting is to submit the
project before the Commission for change of plans from the original PUD, and that
public comment is also taken in at that meeting. A person he spoke to used the
phrase, "it's a done deal". Kipp said no, that they are amending the approved
proposal.
Szmergalski questioned why nothing has been done since this was approved 13 years
ago. Clinton commented he can think of three projects that have been approved but
no ground breaking has taken place.
Zejdlik commented that the project was not a good project economically and that's
why they decided not to go forward.
Miller asked who they should talk to about the economic impacts of this project.

Planning Commission
Monday, September 9, 1996
Sandstad directed him to the City Council.
Kipp indicated that he will make sure the Building Department takes a close look at
any complaints received from the original construction.
Foote commented he does not believe this project will lower the value of the single
family homes. However, this project has a lot of problems and he was not
comfortable supporting it. He was concerned about the drainage and no transition
from the two unit building to the single family home on the southeast. He was very
concerned that there was no neighborhood meetings. There must be a neighborhood
meeting with discussion of the project.
Ismail concurred with Foote's statements. He asked Staff to have the building
inspector look at the history of the developer and would like a copy of his report for
the Commission. He would not support the project until all the issues are addressed.
Habicht commented the change from 10 units to six units is a step in the right
direction. The project should be continued to the next meeting for a greater detail on
landscaping and drainage plan. He's not convinced the project requires buffers but it
requires more detail.
Sandstad stated the plan needs work. He was concerned about the lack of a public
meeting with the adjacent owners who will share the driveway.
Wissner said she was not comfortable with the plan at all. She would like to see more
detail on the specifics and stressed the quality control issue about the project. These
people suffered very bad and she wants to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Clinton commented the developer should come back with at least having a
neighborhood meeting. There should be more details to the plan that would describe
landscaping,transition of the various properties, drainage plan and an overall grading
plan in general. He also asked that the Building Department or Engineering
Department give them a better comfort over the quality of the building and that data
should be included in their packets.
Zejdhk stated that the grading problem seems to come from the Wooddale people.
He noted his site is a lot higher and has already been approved for 10 units so it's not
their problem Wooddale didn't know that. He said that people have been taking stabs
at them and making accusations. They have a Parade twinhome and everyone is
welcome to go visit it in Inver Grove Heights to see their quality of work. He
commented that the problems people were having has to do with masonite. They did
11
/v
Planning Commission
Monday, September 9, 1996
not install the shingles but hired contractors to do that. He would like an engineer to
look at that to see if it's probably the quality of the shingle itself.
MOTION 1: Wissner moved, Foote seconded, to continue the Public Hearing for
30 days to the October 14, 1996 meeting. Motion carried 6-0.

B. EDEN BLUFFS by Baton Corporation. Request for PUD Amendment on 44 acres,
PUD District Review on 1.53 acres,Zoning District Amendment in RM-6.5 District
on 1.53 acres, Site Plan Review on 1.53 acres, and Preliminary Plat for 1.53 acres.
Location: Sherman Drive at County Road 1.
Kipp commented the proponent met with the Eden Bluffs Association and held a
neighborhood meeting to address the concerns raised by the neighborhood residents
at the Planning Commission meeting of September 9, 1996. In addition, the plans
were revised based on the Staff Report and neighborhood input.
Jan Zedlik, Baton Corporation, stated they met with the Eden Bluffs Homeowners
Association and answered questions. They held a neighborhood meeting and had
been asked to put boulders at the end of one of the driveways. They met with their
landscape architect and had endeavored to incorporate this feature into their plans.
City Engineer Al Gray met with them to address the drainage concerns. She noted
they were submitting their original proposal with additions requested by the
neighborhood residents.
Kipp reviewed the staff report and the landscape plan has been revised per the
stipulations in the staff report. They are in the process of obtaining a cross access
easement and this needs to be finalized prior to building permit issuance. These plans
will be required to conform to the 1992 Uniform Building Code. Sandstad inquired
if staff had looked at the existing townhomes or just reviewed the records. Kipp
responded that they looked at their records and the inspection reports but had not
inspected the buildings themselves. Sandstad inquired if staff had drawn any
conclusions regarding what might be the cause of the deterioration, and if not,
requested that staff look into this issue.
The Public Hearing was opened.
Jerry Marx, 10961 Old Wagon Trail, stated he flew over the area and took pictures
of the site. He felt that the buffering should be increased as it was presently
inadequate. He passed pictures he had taken from the air around to the Planning
Commissioners.
Richard Schultek, 422 West County Road D,New Brighton, stated he worked for
Wooddale Realty, and was selling townhomes that were located to the west of the
subject property. He believed the landscaping plans should be available for residents
to view. Zedlik responded that the renderings they have, do not reflect the addition
of the boulders, but she illustrated where they would be located on the site plan.
Erik Isum, 10676 Jackson Drive, inquired about the manhole and when it was
installed. Gray responded that the old pipe going into the manhole was blocked off
and there were only two pipes going out which is what should be there. There will
be limited drainage into the wetland.

Foote inquired why the evergreens along the border were of different heights and
Kipp responded that it was done this way to present a more natural effect. Foote
inquired how close to the property line unit 2 was and Kipp responded that a 10 foot
setback was allowed in this zoning district. The garage was located about 18 feet
from the property line and there was a 10 foot grading and drainage easement in this
area also. The location of the existing house is 10 feet from the property line so there
will be 20 feet between them.
Sandstad stated he believed sufficient improvements had been made to the plans so
that he could move the project forward. Ismail stated he was disappointed in the
memo from the Building Inspector as it did not really address their questions. He
concurred that the project should be moved forward. Wissner stated she wished to
be sure no one representing the Townhome Homeowners Association was present,
and no one spoke up. She believed the project was acceptable with the additional
landscaping and stated she would support it. Foote stated he would like to see more

Staff Report
Eden Bluffs
October 11, 1996
BACKGROUND
This project was continued at the September 9, 1996 Planning Commission meeting in order for
the proponent to address issues raised by the Commission and neighborhood regarding overall site
drainage, landscaping, and past building construction concerns. Since that meeting,the following
actions have taken place:
1. Baton Corporation met with the Eden Bluffs Townhomes Association to address
the proposal and existing townhome concerns.
2. Baton Corporation held a neighborhood meeting at the City Center to address
revised plans based on concerns identified at the Planning Commission. The
Senior Planner and City Engineer were also present to answer questions.
3. The Inspections Department reviewed its files regarding the construction of the
original Eden Bluff Townhomes development. A memo is provided with this Staff
Report.
4. The proponent has submitted revised plans for Planning Commission review.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
The plans have been revised to show off-site topography, existing storm sewer systems, and
neighboring home elevations. The overall drainage to the existing wetland in the southeast corner
of the property is minimal since the completion of a storm water pond within the westerly
neighboring development in 1995. The majority of the surrounding drainage is directed to this
off-site pond. Only a minimal increase in impervious surface is proposed with the current project.
LANDSCAPING
Additional trees have been added to the proposal in response to the Staff Report and neighboring
concerns. The Code requires a total of 58 caliper inches of plant material. The revised plan
provides 70 caliper inches.
Conifer trees ranging between 6' and 10'tall have been added along the easterly and westerly
boundaries of the site to provide buffering to the adjoining land uses. Conifers and landscape
boulders have been provided at the end of the dive aisle for the westerly building, in response to a
neighboring concern.

Staff Report
Eden Bluffs
October 11, 1996
The revised plans also show the location of the existing tree line near the existing wetland. In
order to provide greater protection for this wetland and tree line, a Conservation Easement is
proposed.
SHARED ACCESS
The westerly building will share a private drive with the existing townhome Association to the
north. The access has not changed from the original 1983 approval, and was constructed during
the original site development. The proponent is working with the existing Association to establish
the shared use and maintenance agreement, which will need to be finalized prior to any building
permit issuance.
EXISTING BUILDINGS AND PROPOSED ARCHITECTURE
Included in this Staff Report is a memo from the Inspections department addressing its review of
the building file for the existing townhomes to the north. The Commission requested this review
based on building code compliance and quality of construction concerns raised by the owners of
the townhomes.
The proponent has revised the architectural plans to specifically identify the types and colors of
building materials to be used for the new units, including the use of white trim and garage doors
for continuity with the existing townhomes, as recommended in the Staff Report. Face brick,
vinyl siding are the primary materials to be used.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The staff would recommend approval of the PUD Concept Amendment 44 acres, PUD District
Review on 1.53 acres,Zoning District Amendment on 1.53 acres, Site Plan Review on 1.53 acres,
and Preliminary Plat of 1.53 acres based on plans revised and dated October 11, 1996, and subject
to the recommendations of the Staff Reports dated September 6, 1996, and October 11, 1996,
including the following:
1. Prior to the final plat approval,the proponent shall submit detailed storm water runoff,
utility, and erosion control plans for review and approval by the City Engineer and
Watershed district.
3
Staff Report
Eden Bluffs
October 11, 1996
2. Prior to Building Permit issuance,the proponent shall:
A. Submit samples of exterior building materials for review

Staff Report
Eden Bluffs
September 6, 1996
BACKGROUND
The site is part of the 1983 Bluffs East Planned Unit Development consisting of 90 single family
homes and 40 town homes. The subject property is located within the town home portion of the
PUD and is presently a vacant land area. This site is currently guided and zoned for Multiple-
Family Residential.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT REVIEW/SITE PLAN
The proposal is to construct 6 town home units on the 1.53 acre site, consisting of one duplex and
one four-plex building. There are four units at 3430 sq. ft. each and two units at 2940 sq. ft.
each. The PUD approved plan was for a total of 10 units on the site consisting of one four-plex
building and one six-plex building. Density of the project is 3.92 units per acre. City Code would
permit up to 6.7 units per acre in the RM-6.5 District. These lots are less than 6,500 sq. ft.
required by code as were the ones previously approved through the PUD,therefore waivers
from the city code will be required. Since the platting of the lots in this manner is typical for a
property Association where open space is in shared ownership, and the overall land area per unit
exceeds 13,000 sq. ft., these waivers have merit and have been approved by the City for other
town home projects.
The base area ratio is 17% and the floor area ratio is 28%. Code allows up to a 20%BAR and
40% FAR in the RM-6.5 District. Both of the buildings meet the required setbacks. The site plan
includes the required total of 12 parking spaces.
Access to the westerly building will be shared with the town homes to the north of the subject
property. A cross access and maintenance agreement will be required for this shared driveway.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
The grading of the property will not impact the existing wetland or vegetation located in the
southwest corner of the property. The Engineering Department has determined that the small
amount of additional runoff created by this project does not warrant construction of a N.U.R.P.
pond. However, a cash contribution to the Storm Water Utility is requested in lieu of the pond
based on $1000.00 per acre of impervious surface plus 2% of the land value.
UTILITIES
Sewer and water service is available from Sherman Drive. It is necessary to locate an additional
fire hydrant near the four-plex building on either side of the driveway.

Staff Report
Eden Bluffs
September 6, 1996
ARCHITECTURE
The approved Planned Unit Development architecture was for the use of similar colors and
building materials. The architecture of this development is quite similar to the adjacent town
homes. The duplex is 6860 sq. ft. and the four-plex is 12,740 sq. ft. The design is a walkout or
rambler with garages in the front. The proposed development provides a transition from the
existing multiple family to single family units. The staff recommends that the building color
scheme include black shingles, white trim and garage doors, and brown face brick to coordinate
surrounding buildings for this transition.
LANDSCAPING
Based on City Code, a total of 58 caliper inches of plant material is required. The landscaping
plan depicts a total of 25 caliper inches. Prior to City Council Review,the plan will need to be
revised, including the size spread requirements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The staff would recommend approval of the PUD Concept Amendment 44 acres,PUD District
Review on 1.53 acres, Zoning District Amendment on 1.53 acres, Site Plan Review on 1.53 acres,
and Preliminary Plat of 1.53 acres based on plans dated August 19, 1996, and subject to the
recommendations of the Staff Report dated September 6, 1996,which are as follows:
1. Prior to the City Council Review,the proponent shall:
A. Revise the landscape plan depicting a total of 58 caliper inches of plant material,
including size spread requirements.
B. Locate an additional fire hydrant on the west lot on either side of the driveway.
C. Revise the architecture to include black roof shingles, white trim and garage door, and
brown face brick for transitional purposes.
2. Prior to the final plat approval,the proponent shall submit detailed storm water runoff,
utility, and erosion control plans for review and approval by the City Engineer and
Watershed district.

Dear Mr. Jeff Patterson:
Enclosed is a copy of the roof evaluation report from Inspec, Inc.
You will note that the inspector concludes multiple problems exist
with regard to the original installation of the roofing.
Auto Owners agrees to patch the roof areas that were damaged in
the windstorm of 3-7-94. A single deductible of $500.00 is
applicable on behalf of the Association. Please forward a repair
statement from Wright Brothers Roofers at your earliest
convenience
so that we can issue payment.
•
Please also provide the name address and phone number of the
contractor who built the Eden Bluffs Complex. We believe we have
a right of subrogation against the roofer who improperly installed
the roof.
If you have any questions in this regard, please feel free to
contact me.
Sincerely,

Re: Eden Bluff Association
Eden Prairie, Mn
Dear Ross:
As you requested, on 8/16/96 I visited Eden Bluff to take a quick look at the condition of
the siding.
As you know, I generally charge a fee for this evaluation service, but in this case I have
provided the evaluation as a courtesy to you as a long time client.
My intention in an evaluation of hardboard siding is to determine if it can be repaired
(sealed, partially replaced, primed, painted) or if it is time to prepare for new siding. I
currently am inspecting repair work at a 28 unit, 10 year old complex in Minnetonka (Creeks
Bend condos) that has hardboard siding. It was decided that one more paint cycle on one
building and two more paint cycles on three buildings would be feasible.
In the case of Eden Bluff, I do not believe the siding can be "saved" at this point. The
condition of the siding and wood trim is beyond that point. As you can see by the enclosed
map with ratings, all sides of all buildings are rated 6 or above; most in the 7 to 9 range (1 =
very good; PO = very bad).
The problems that I viewed are widespread and include the following:
1. The wood trim and fascias are peeling paint in most areas with primary exposure to the
sun. It is unclear whether these boards were primed (originally) or not. They certainly
were not back sealed. It will be impossible to now paint and not get peeling from
"new" areas. Some of the wood is also damaged.
• 2. Wax bleeding and resin bleeding is apparent on many buildings, some very seriously.
This shows up as dark splotches or streaks. These areas would have to be washed
(TSP), primed, and painted to stop the bleeding.

3. Growth and buckling are evident on all buildings. Some areas are in a full failure
situation with the siding deteriorated. Growth is a softening and thickening of the
hardboard along edges, bottoms, and at nails. This is a sure sign of failure. Once
growth begins, more water is absorbed and buckling begins. Buckling is bulging
between nails. This is widespread.
4. The caulk is of poor quality in many areas (hard; cheap latex). It is splitting and has
left openings throughout.
There is no chance of having a successful repair, caulk, prep, paint experience at this
complex. It would cost the equivalent of the residing of a 6 plex (or more) to paint at this
point.
I would suggest residing at the earliest time that the association members can afford it.
If I can be of professional assistance in specs, bidding, contracts, inspection of residing,
please let me know. We are managing 8 to 10 residing projects for associations at any given
time. It would cost approximately $110 - $125 per unit for complete professional services
from beginning to end.
I'll send references if you wish -- and a full proposal as well if your board wants it. In the
meanwhile, enclosed are some informative materials.
Please call if you have questions.
Sincerely,
tiarl

Memorandum
To: Scott Kipp, Community Development
From:. Gene Abbott, Assistant Building Official
Inspections Department
Date: September 17, 1996
Subject: Planning Commission requests regarding the
Eden Bluffs Townhomes Development
Apparently, the residents of the current townhome project have raised some issues
on the quality of workmanship by the Builder. After review of the independent
inspections reports and our records I will respond to the issues raised at the Planning
Commission meeting.
We keep a file in our office of complaint letters from consumers regarding the quality
of workmanship from building contractors. As of the date of this letter we do not have
any such complaint letters on file for Baton Corporation. These housing units were
constructed in 1984, the 1982 Uniform Building Code was in effect at that time.
Hardboard siding was an approved material for covering exterior walls and was
required to conform to UBC standard No. 25-26. The building contractor was
responsible for complying with the State Code as well as manufacturers requirements
for installation. Likewise, shingles were to comply with UBC Standard No. 32-3 and
be fastened according to manufacturers instructions. Building owners may wish to
seek legal advice if there were code violations with respect to installation.
All new construction in the city is to conform to the 1994 Uniform Building Code with
state amendments. The city will continue to conduct the required inspections as
outlined in the Building code.

Staff Report
Victory Lutheran Church Addition
October 11, 1996
BACKGROUND
The Victory Lutheran Church was approved by the City Council in 1993 for a 9,200 sq. ft. facility.
The approved plans also identified a future expansion area to the east. As a condition of approval,
the Church was required to return to the Planning Commission and City Council for review and
approval of any future expansion proposal.
Surrounding land uses consist of R1-22 residential to the north, east, and south, with County Road
4 abutting the property to the west.
SITE PLAN
The proposal is to construct a 4,000 sq. ft. single-story addition on the east side of the existing
church, with a future second-story expansion potential. The original approval showed a two-story
addition for the future expansion area with a similar building footprint. With the addition,the total
building square footage is 13,236 sq. ft. The code does not restrict site coverage in the Public
district. However, with the addition,the building footprint covers only 3%of the 5.97 acre site.
The addition meets all structure setbacks.
Church parking requires one stall for every three seats in the largest worship area. The existing
parking lot meets this code. The addition is to accommodate more Sunday School classrooms and
multi-purpose space. The use of this space will not occur at the same time as the peak use of the
church worship space,therefore no additional parking spaces will be required.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
No tree loss or significant grading will occur on the property since the original grading provided for
the expansion area. A section of retaining wall will be constructed on the south side of the addition.
This wall will consist of modular masonry construction.
The existing NURP pond to the east of the addition was designed to accommodate the future
expansion area, therefore no modification is necessary.
LANDSCAPING
Landscaping has been added for this proposal meeting City Code. The original landscape plan
provided the required screening of the parking area.
2
Staff Report
Victory Lutheran Church Addition
October 11, 1996
ARCHITECTURE
The single-story addition will be constructed in a similar architectural style with similar materials.
At least 75% of the structure will be face brick and glass, which meets City Code. The flat roof
design is to accommodate a future second-story expansion. No rooftop mechanical equipment is
proposed. All mechanical equipment will be placed within the building.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff would recommend approval of the Zoning District Amendment within the Public district, and
Site Plan Review based on plans dated September 19, 1996, this report, and the following:
1. Prior to building permit issuance,the proponent shall submit detailed storm water run-off,
utility and erosion control plans for review by the City Engineer and Watershed District.

on .44 acres. Location: Baker Road at St. Andrew.
Kipp reviewed the staff report and stated that staff recommended approval of the
request and noted the proponent agreed with the stipulations recommended in the
staff report.
Dan Bartus requested approval of the proposal and stated he will dedicate the
easement as required in the staff report. Kipp noted that staff had received calls
regarding this proposal but no one objected once they were told it would be a single
family home.
Ismail commented there would be no entrance from Baker Road but noted that the
lowest elevation of the home was close to the street elevation. Bartus stated that
there would be a four foot retaining wall on the property. Kipp stated this was not
a floodplain issue and there was an existing outlet going to the east and if there were
a flood event there was a curb overflow one foot below the elevation of the proposed
house, which would provide for drainage on the site.
The Public Hearing was opened.
No one present wished to speak.
Ismail commented he liked and supported the plan.
MOTION: Ismail moved, Foote seconded, to close the Public Hearing and

Staff Report
Bartus Addition
October 11, 1996
BACKGROUND
The Comprehensive Guide Plan identifies this site for Low Density Residential land use. The
property is currently zoned Rural. Surrounding land uses consist of the Southgate single family
development to the north, zoned R1-13.5, Baker Road to the east and south, and an existing single
family home to the west, zoned Rural. The site received fill about ten years ago in preparation for
a house pad. Some scattered non-significant vegetation exists on the site.
SITE PLAN
The proposal is to rezone the property and construct one single family home. All setbacks are met
for the R1-13.5 zoning district. Access to the property will be from St. Andrew Drive. No direct
access to Baker Road will be permitted.
Since the property is part of a recorded Hennepin County survey of a portion of Auditor's
Subdivision 225,replatting of the property will not be required.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
Some grading will take place for the proposed walkout design. This includes construction of a four
foot retaining wall on the back side of the structure.
A small wetland exists in the northeast corner of the site. This wetland will not be impacted by the
proposed grading.
Currently,the rear portion of the property is used to direct storm water to a wetland on the east side
of Baker Road. As part of the review of this project,the proponent shall provide a drainage easement
along the rear 25 feet of the property which parallels Baker Road. This easement will protect the
existing drainage pattern.
The proposed house will have the lowest floor elevation at 864 feet. An overland storm water
overflow elevation of 862.94 feet exists along Baker Road. The City requires a minimum separation
of one foot. The plan meets this requirement.
UTILITIES
City sewer and water is available to the site with connection to lines in St. Andrew Drive.

Jean Johnson Calculation
Requested Council Action:
First Reading of Ordinance

TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Krista R. Flemming, Planning Intern
THROUGH: Jean Johnson and Steve Durham,Zoning Administrators
SUBJECT: Chapter 11, Section 11.03, Subd. 3 Special Requirements -Letter C., pg.
11-9 "Average Setback"
DATE: October 2, 1996
Existing Code:
C. Where 40%or more of a block is developed, the required setback shall be equal to
or greater than the average existing setback. (Legal block used)
Proposed Change:
C. Where 40%or more of a block is developed, the required setback shall be equal to
or greater than the average of the principle structure on either side.
Background
Since 1984, an average of 2 variances per year have been applied for. The Board of Appeals and
Adjustments interpretation of the code and decision on theses variances is that the setback relates
to adjoining lots, not to the average of the block.
City Staff has not experienced a situation where the average block setback produced a functional
and aesthetic setback. The average of a block (sample attached) can require a new home setback
of 90-110 feet. A setback of this distance requires expensive long driveway and utility costs,and
places the new home in the backyards of existing homes.
Other Cities
City Staff contacted 5 different cities and found that none of these cities used an average setback
similar to our code. The cities of Minnetonka, Apple Valley, Burnsville, and Bloomington use a
standard minimum setback in each residential zone which is not dependant on the developed area.
Edina uses existing principal structures on adjacent properties to create an average minimum
setback for the developing project after 25%of the subdivision has been developed.
Recommendation
Staff suggests that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the code change to the City
Council.

Proposed Setback Code Change
The following figure is an example showing the present and proposed code specification. The
present code states that if a legal block is 40% or more developed, then the setbacks of the vacant
lots shall be portray an average of the developed lots. The proposed code change is to calculate
the required setback by averaging the adjacent principle structures instead of using the entire
legal block.

VIII. PLANNERS' REPORTS
A. Flying Cloud Airport Design Framework Manual
Kipp reviewed the purpose of the manual and its intent which was to create a
framework for cohesive design at the Flying Cloud Airport which would provide more
uniformity whenever a hangar was constructed or rebuilt. Sandstad inquired if there
was any leverage in the manual that could be used to coerce people to follow these
guidelines when they did not want to. Kipp responded that if MAC backed the
guidelines it would give them more leverage but it will bring some uniformity to the
airport if implemented because building permits are required. Compliance with the
manual is 100% voluntary but major building proposals will still involve the City
review process.
Ismail inquired who had building code jurisdiction at the airport and Kipp responded
that the City did based on Uniform Building Code. The manual was intended as a
recommendation only. Foote inquired if buildings at Flying Cloud had to go through
the City and Kipp responded that they had to obtain building permits from the City
which will require inspections to be done. Sandstad commented that buildings at
Flying Cloud did not have to abide by the Uniform Building Code unless it was a
public building because Flying Cloud Airport is federal property.
Kipp commented that MAC continues to monitor noise levels at Flying Cloud Airport
and the noise abatement signs are in place requesting pilots to use the southern
departure route if possible. He noted that the numbers were encouraging.
MOTION: Sandstad moved, seconded by Foote, to recommend approval of the
Flying Cloud Airport Design Framework Manual dated July, 1996 and noted that this
action in no way reflects the City's position regarding the expansion of the runways.
/ Motion carried 5-0.
V B. Average Setback Code Change
Franzen reviewed the staff report and noted that this reflects the actions of the Board
of Adjustments and Appeals. Staff recommended approval of this change.

Chris Enger Chapter 11 Amendment Changing Minimum Area for
Jean Johnson PUD from 15 to 5 acres
Requested Council Action:
First Reading of Ordinance
Background:
In 1982, when the City adopted PUD regulations, the standard was a 15 acre minimum and development
applications were for large tracts of land. Today, cities have a 5 acre minimum or no minimum, and
development applications will be for smaller tract of land. The Planning Commission recommended approval
of the code change at their October 14, 1996 meeting.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Jean Johnson,Zoning Administrator
Steve Durham, Zoning Administrator
SUBJECT: Chapter 11, Section 11.40, Subd. 6. Minimum Area
DATE: October 8, 1996
Existing Code:
Subd. 6. Minimum Area. A PUD Concept must include an area of at least 15 acres.
Proposed Change:
Subd. 6. Minimum Area. A PUD Concept and Planned Unit Development District must
include an area of at least 5 acres.
Background
The City's PUD Regulations were adopted in 1982 along with the codification of the City Code.
In the early 1980's land development applications were typified by areas of 15-100 acres in size.
For the last 16 years a 15 acre minimum size for a PUD was functional.
The City will see only a few large tract developments in the future. Other developments will be
small tracts in the Rural area and in-fill development.
Other Cities
Other cities have down sized or eliminated a minimum acreage for PUD's, i.e., Bloomington and
Burnsville have no minimum and Minnetonka has a 5 acre minimum.
It will be important for City Commission and Council to ensure applications meet or exceed the
PUD purpose as contained in Subd. 4.
Subd.4 Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to: (1) Encourage a more creative and
efficient approach to the use of land in the City; (2)Allow variety in the types of
environment available to the people of the City; (3)Encourage more efficient allocation
and maintenance of privately controlled common open space through the distribution of
overall density of population and intensity if land use where such arrangement is desirable
and feasible; and, (4)Provide the means for greater creativity and flexibility in
environmental design than is provided under the strict application of the provisions of this
Chapter and Chapter 12 (relating to subdivisions)of this Code while at the same time
preserving the health, safety, order, convenience,prosperity, and general welfare of the
City and its inhabitants.
If the Purpose of a PUD is not emphasized, PUD applications will be a vehicle for variances
without the City getting a creative product, a protected environment, and meaningful open space.
Small sites, 5+ acres, will be able to benefit from the PUD process whether the project is
residential or office/commercial/industrial. For residential(townhouse)projects, the PUD will
facilitate the platting of lots around the base of units without the need of applying for variances.
For office/commercial/industrial, a mixed-use plan can be developed that places buildings on a site
while preserving more trees than would be preserved if each building had to be a lot of a given
size with standard setbacks.
Another benefit of the 5 acre PUD will be a more streamline development process, cutting 3-6
weeks off review time, if variances through the Board of Adjustments and Appeals is not needed.
This proposed code change does not mean that all developments, 5 acres or more, will be
reviewed through a PUD process,but those that need the flexibility and meet the PUD purpose
will have the PUD process available.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the PUD minimum be changed from 15 acres to 5 acres.
Please consider this change and forward a recommendation on to the Council.

C. PUD Minimum Area Code Change
Franzen reviewed the staff report and described the benefits of the changes to the
City. He noted that developers will have to meet the intent of the Subdivision 4
section in order to qualify as a PUD. The Planning Commission would have to make
the determination regarding whether a project would qualify for PUD status under this
subsection. Foote inquired why 5 acres was the area proposed. Franzen responded
projects less than 5 acres are too small to offer something in return to the City . The
City has approved zoning related variances on most projects less than 15 acres, and
a reduced area would eliminate additional review by staff and the Board of Appeals.
MOTION: Sandstad moved, seconded by Foote,to recommend approval of the code
change to reduce the minimum size of a PUD from 15 to 5 acres. Motion carried

Recreation and Facilities; Funding Request for Senior Center Canopy
Sandy Werts
The Senior Center Advisory Board discussed the merits of having a covered walkway into the building
at the rear entry. This is the entry that receives the most use as it opens directly into the largest meeting
space.
At their October 2, 1996 meeting, the Advisory Board passed unanimously the following motion:
The Senior Center Advisory Board requests the City Council authorize funding for the
construction of a canopy for the rear entry to the Senior Center.
One cost estimate has been received from Hoigaard's for $8,769.00 to construct a 8' x 4' x 42' canvas
canopy at the rear entrance. This canopy would extend from the door to the parking lot. The quote
includes supplies and installation, but does not include lighting. A canvas canopy has an 8 - 10 year life
expectancy with an approximate $4,500 replacement cost.

Engineering Residents to Address Upcoming VIII. B.
Expansion of County Road 4 Between
Highway 5 & Pioneer Trail
Requested Action:
Recommend that this petition be referred to Staff and that Staff report back to the Council
following the November 7 neighborhood meeting.
Background Information:
Our Engineering Staff, together with Hennepin County Public Works, has set up an open
house meeting with the residents of this neighborhood in order to address questions that
have surfaced regarding the upcoming expansion of County Road 4 between Highway 5
& Pioneer Trail. Notices have already been sent for this meeting which is scheduled for
Thursday, November 7, beginning at 5:30 p.m. with a formal presentation at 7:00 p.m..
At this meeting Hennepin County officials will be prepared to address any changes in the
constuction plans, which have given rise to concerns on the part of residents abutting the
project construction limits. Hennepin County plans to award a contract for this project
early next spring. Prior to advertising for bids the County will need to have City Council
approval of the final plans and specifications. That action is anticipated for January or
February of next year.

of County Road 4 between Highway 5 and Pioneer Trail .
Several residents , have received requests from the County to purchase
permanent easements from them in conjunction with the expansion. As
recently as two weeks ago, we were of t)e opinion that this expansion would -
not affect our property lines . There seems to be a major communication
breakdown between County & City governments and your constituents . As this
may severely impact property values and lifestyles along this corridor, we
would like to present what we have learned .to the Council in hopes of
getting some answers .
We have been told that proposals will be given to property owners in early

ISSUES AND CONCERNS
1 . What has changed from the original proposal to now require the purchase
of substantial permanent highway easements from the bordering landowners .
As recently as October 2nd, the City stated that most properties would not
be affected and the berm and landscaping on the west side would remain
substantially intact .
2 . The original proposal called for a more pronounced drop in the grade of
the road than is now planned.
3 . Now that the road will come substantially closer to the property lines
on both sides , we feel this warrants a reduced speed limit as children will
be playing 10 feet from the road.
4. The closer proximity to the road will create a greater noise level for
homeowners directly on the road as well as those in at least 500 feet from
the road. This could be appeased with the installation of a sound
barrier/fence and a reduction in maximum load limit to eliminate the large
trucks which account for that noise.
5. The city's comprehensive trail plan allows for trails on both the east
and west side of County Road 4, however, as most of us who live on the road
can attest to, the current trail is very rarely used as it is . On a sunny
summer day, you may be able to count 10-12 individuals on that path between
Pioneer Trail and Scenic Heights Road. Elimination of one of these paths
would reduce the money taxpayers will have to spend to acquire the
easements and money needed to install and upkeep that path.
6 . What 's going to happen to the telephone poles currently on the road?
7 . What restrictions will be placed on any County road signs?
8 . Where will stop signs and/or street lights be placed?
9. How will you as our elected officials assure that we are indeed made
whole after all is finalized and to assure that our properties continue to
possess the same physical attributes and quality of landscaping that they
currently have.
10 . Much thought has been given to assure that motorists using this road
will have a safer road to drive. We feel that this has been done at the
expense of the safety of those living on the road. This is a residential
area south of Scenic Heights . Please address how you will assure the safety
of those residents along both sides of the road.

- MEMORANDUM -
TO: Mayor and City Councilmembers
THROUGH: Eugene A. Dietz, Director of Public Works
FROM: Rodney W. Rue, Assistant City Engineer GO
DATE: November 1, 1996
SUBJECT: CSAH 4 Improvements (from Terrey Pine Drive to CSAH 1)
We have been asked to provide you a sequence of events that have occurred over the past few years while
attempting to get CSAH 4(between Terrey Pine Drive and CSAH 1) improved. The following is a brief
chronology from project conception to the current scheduling:
• On September 26, 1988, a letter was sent to Hennepin County requesting that CSAH 4 be
included in their Capital Improvement Project List as soon as possible.
• On April 24, 1989, another letter was sent to Hennepin County requesting that CSAH 4
improvements be placed in the County's Capital Improvement Project List within the next two
or three years.
• On May 17, 1989, we received a letter from Hennepin County suggesting that the CSAH 4
improvements be delayed in order to be built concurrently or incorporated with the Trunk
Highway 212 improvements. As a result, Hennepin County agreed to construct a southbound
bypass lane on CSAH 4 at Scenic Heights Road, to widen CSAH 1 at the CSAH 4 intersection
and install a temporary traffic signal, and to widen CSAH 4 from Terrey Pine Drive to Timber
Lakes Drive.
• On April 21, 1993, a meeting was held to present the initial layout to the City for the CSAH 4
improvements from Terrey Pine Drive to CSAH 1. During the meeting, numerous comments
were provided and a lot of discussion took place regarding trees, wetlands, utilities, typical
section, etc. This initial layout included a four-lane divided roadway throughout the entire
section with numerous right turn lanes and trails on both sides of the road. This layout did create
some serious impacts to adjacent property owners. Over the next several months, additional
meetings were held, review comments were provided,layout modifications were made(including
eliminating many right turn lanes and the center median between Scenic Heights Road and Cedar
Ridge Road), and discussions occurred with some property owners.
• On July 9, 1993, Hennepin County submitted an application for Surface Transportation Program
Funding for these CSAH 4 improvements.

Memorandum to City Council
CSAH 4 Improvements (from Terrey Pine Drive to CSAH 1)
November 1, 1996
Page 2 of 2
• On March 17, 1994, an informational meeting was held to discuss the proposed layout plan(with
approximately 70 people in attendance). Many questions and concerns were brought up at the
Open House and Informational meeting. Following that meeting, a memo was sent to all
residents explaining Hennepin County and/or City of Eden Prairie responses or solution to the
many questions and concerns that were raised. In addition, the memo notified the residents about
the scheduled date for City Council consideration of the preliminary layout approval. A copy
of this memo was also sent to the City Council members for informational purposes.
• On April 19, 1994, the City Council approved (by Resolution No. 94-59)the preliminary layout
plan for these CSAH 4 improvements. The approved layout was consistent with the layout
presented at the neighborhood meeting. Since the layout was approved, Hennepin County has
been working on the necessary Federal documentation and construction plans. The construction
plans are consistent with the Council approved layout with a few minor exceptions.
• On October 24, 1996, Eden Prairie received "draft" final construction plans for these
improvements. We immediately set up an informational meeting/open house for November 7,
1996 to present the "draft" plans for property owner input and comment. Within the next couple
months,Hennepin County will be requesting City Council approval of the final construction plans
and construction cooperative agreement. At this time, a scheduled date for those approvals has
not been set.

DEPARTMENT: ITEM DESCRIPTION: ITEM NO.
Engineering REQUEST FROM POST CONSTRUCTION VIII. C.
REGARDING STREET AND UTILITY
IMPROVEMENTS
Requested Action:
It is recommended that the Council take no action on this request at the present time, and that
this matter be referred back to Staff for inclusion on a future Council agenda following the
proposed neighborhood meeting.
Background Information:
Post Construction has received Preliminary Plat Approval and First Reading for their
proposed seven lot development along Sunnybrook Road. We have been discussing with
them the various options for constructing the required public improvements for both
Sunnybrook Road and their property as well. Post is wanting the City's approval at this time
for them to be able to construct all of the improvements on their property plus those on
Sunnybrook Road which would also abut their property. They believe that it may be possible
that their costs will be lower with this plan rather than lumping all of the work together under
a City assessment project with Sunnybrook Road. They would need a private cost
participation agreement with two other property owners to make their plan feasible. At this
time we are not aware that they have secured such commitments.
We believe that the best process for all the property owners involved in this neighborhood is
to put all the street and utility work together as one City Improvement Contract. A new
Feasibility Report would be prepared and a Public Hearing process conducted. Post
Construction has no experience with Public Works contracts which makes us hesitant to
allow them to proceed on their own. Also, allowing Post to do only a portion of the total
project will apparently increase the cost for the other residents to the west along Sunnybrook
Road.
It was our understanding with Post Construction that a neighborhood meeting would be held
in the near future to see if we could arrive at a plan acceptable to most, if not all of the
residents, including Post Construction. City Council review and action would be more
appropriately scheduled to occur following this neighborhood meeting.

RE: Request to be added to the November 5,1996 agenda
Dear Carl,
Post Construction, Inc. desires to be on thc 11/5/96 City Council agenda to receive approval to
construct Sunnybrook Road further to the west. Specifically,Post desires to develop Sunnybrook
Road from the existing Sunnybrook Woods development (Kroiss) to the west boarder of the
Post/Jackson property. As discussed,the reason we are requesting to complete the additional work
along Sunnybrook Road is due to the fact that the City has imposed additional costs to Post for extra
sewer depth,nurp pond size,mitigation credits,and engineering costs.
Since thc 7/2/96 preliminary plat approval, Post has been advised by the City that the nurp pond
must he increased from 6,500 square feet to 9,300 square feet (43% increase) most of which is
required by the City to drain/filter non Post land. This pond size increase further requires enlarged
storm pipes. Additionally, the sanitary sewer depth increased from a 1995 city proposal of 10-12
feet to 23+ fret and Post Construction has Incurred additional engineering costs. These additional
requirements would impose thousands of dollars in unanticipated costs to Post. Farther, Post has
incurred significant costs associated with this development being delayed. Post cannot allow this
development to be delayed any longer-and I need your help to ensure this_proem is expedited.
Lastly, as we discussed, you will arrange for a neighborhood meeting (no later than next week)
where we will advise the neighbors specifically why Post is requesting relief for these extra Costs and
possibly ask the neighbors (or thc City) to pay for these extras- otherwise this project may not be
feasible fur Post to develop.
Sincerely,

EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: 5/96
SECTION: Director of Parks, Recreation and Facilities ITEM NOEe
DEPARTMENT: Parks, ITEM DESCRIPTION: Landscaping Request from The Trails Association
Recreation and Facilities, Board
Stuart A. Fox E1C
Attached to this memo is a request from The Trails Association Board of Directors to transfer ownership
of a bituminous trail within The Trails Association property to the City in exchange for some landscaping
along Anderson Lakes Parkway. The Board of Directors has been discussing the issue of trail maintenance
and liability with the City for a couple of years and this issue was forwarded to the City Council last
September for consideration. Currently,.the City has a trail which dead ends in the middle of The Trails
property, ending on one of their private driveways. From that point north, the trail belongs to the
Association and it is the maintenance and liability of this trail section that has become an issue.
Staff has evaluated the trail surfacing and the location and feels that a trail use and maintenance easement
can be worked out to cover this section of trail.
Offer by the Trails Association Board
The Trails Association Board has proposed that the City provide for 45 spruce trees in return for a trail
easement over this trail section. Staff has visited the site and reviewed the proposed landscape plan
prepared by Bachman's Nursery. The staff would offer some of the following observations regarding the
plan:
• Trees selected are four foot Colorado Spruce trees which will grow well in most conditions;
however, the staff has some concern about their placement in the shade of over-story deciduous
trees. The City can purchase these trees directly from a wholesale nursery supplier at a cost of
approximately $35/tree or $1,500-$1,600 total cost.
• Staff would recommend that The Trails Association reconsider the proposed plant material since
much of it would be in the shade of larger deciduous trees. Potential shade tolerant trees that could
be planted in lieu of the Colorado Spruce are: Techny Arborvitae or Balsam Fir.
• Staff feels that either of these trees would provide the desired effect of screening the townhouses
from Anderson Lakes Parkway traffic.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff feels that if the agreement is to exchange plant material for a trail easement through this townhouse
association, the planting work could be done for approximately $1,500 as opposed to the $7,500-$8,500
estimate that The Trails has submitted along with the request. If acceptable to the City Council, staff would
purchase the plant material and utilize the Sentence to Serve (STS) staff to plant and mulch the trees. This
work could be done in late April or early May of 1997. If acceptable to the City Councci, staff would work
with the Directors of the Trails Association to better define the landscape plan and have the area checked
for underground utilities prior to any actual planting.

MOTION: Jacobson moved, seconded by Bowman, to approve the Minutes of the
September 16, 1996 Eden Prairie Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission as amended. Motion carried 7-0.
IV. PETITIONS,REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
A. Request from the Trails Association Regarding Trail Easements
Staff referred the Commission to a memo dated October 16, 1996, from
Stuart A. Fox, Manager of Parks and Natural Resources; a letter dated
September 24, 1996, from Robert A. Lambert, Director of Parks,Recreation
and Natural Resources; an invoice dated March 22, 1996, from Bachman's
Nursery; and a letter dated September 19, 1996, from Jerry Quinn, Director
of the Trails Association.
Lambert indicated for many years the Trails Association assumed this
property was a city owned trail and they never maintained it or improved it.
After researching the situation, it was learned that it was supposed to be
given to the City for dedication by the developer but he never did that. It's
their trail. Some of the property owners wish to have it removed and others
were adamant in favoring keeping the trail because they use it. Staff brought
this to the City Council about a year and half ago and they were in favor of
doing whatever it took to keep that trail.
The Trails Association has made a decision to transfer the ownership of the
trail to the City under the condition that the City would do some landscaping
on their property to better screen their property from Anderson Lakes
Parkway. They had plans drawn up through Bachman's Nursery which
indicate a cost of about$8,700 for 45 spruce trees. The City Forester looked
at the soils and the shade there and recommended Arborvitae or Balsam Fir
for better screening and survival. The City can purchase these trees directly
from a wholesale nursery at a cost of$35/tree or $1,500-$1,600 total cost.
Staff recommended doing this because this is a critical trail link.
Koenig was concerned about the condition of the trail. Lambert indicated
there are some sections that are pretty bad. This is a six-foot trail which staff
2

Unapproved Minutes
Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Monday, October 21, 1996
would recommend widening to an eight-foot trail next year to be consistent
with the public trail system. It was estimated to cost between $3,000 and
$3,500 if staff does it. Hilgeman asked if that would be paid for through
cash park fees for 1997. Lambert stated it would.
Hilgeman commented the total cost for landscaping and widening the trail
would be about$5,000. She asked if that money is being taken away from
something else that has been on the books for a long time. Lambert stated
they do not have that defined a list. The 10-year CIP list is only a guideline.
Brown was concerned that there be safeguards to prevent developers from
not keeping their word on dedications in the future.
Hilgeman expressed concern about misleading the neighbors about when the
actual screening and widening of the trail will take place. Lambert noted this
will go on to the City Council and if approved staff would plant the trees
next year, and they may or may not get the trail improved in 1997.
Bowman referred to the letter from Jerry Quinn and questioned whether there
is anything that would be deemed unsafe. Lambert said they have talked
about some changes to be made when they upgrade the trail and believe
signage would do a lot toward warning people that there's a fairly steep hill.
Staff would make some minor modification and run the trail out a little
further to alleviate the problem at the bottom of the hill.
Koenig was concerned about who would be responsible for taking care of the
landscaping,the City or the Homeowner's Association. Lambert replied the
City will buy and plant the trees,but it's up to the homeowners to water and
maintain them. Koenig asked if the City would be responsible for
replacement if the trees don't survive. Lambert said they have not worked
out details of the agreement at this point.
MOTION: Bowman moved, seconded by Brown,to approve this proposal
per staffs recommendation of the memo dated October 16, 1996. Motion
carried 7-0.
B. Proposal for Traffic Study at Flying Cloud Fields
Staff referred the Commission to a memo dated October 16, 1996, from
Robert A. Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Facilities; and a letter

EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: 11/5/96
SECTION: Director of Parks,Recreation and Facilities ITEM NO. XCCZ
DEPARTMENT: Director ITEM DESCRIPTION: Proposal to Complete Traffic and Parking Plan for
of Parks, Recreation and Flying Cloud Fields
Facilities, Bob Lambert k
BACKGROUND:
The City has used a portion of Flying Cloud Airport for community ballfields since the 1960's. A major
expansion and a formal lease arrangement were made between the City and the Metropolitan Airports
Commission in 1979. The lease agreement allows the Metropolitan Airports Commission to terminate the
lease with a 90-day notice. Due to this provision in the lease and the fact that the Metropolitan Airport
Commission had not approved a long-term development plan for the airport, the City had limited the type
of development and improvements at Flying Cloud Fields. During the review process for the long-term
development of the airport, several alternative plans considered eliminating a significant portion of the
Flying Cloud ballfields. The plan that is being proposed and has preliminary approval from the
Metropolitan Airports Commission and the Metropolitan Council does not impact the Flying Cloud
ballfields.
The plan for the Flying Cloud ballfields, as originally developed by City staff, depicted eight softball or
baseball fields and seven full size soccer fields. The Soccer Association is the main user of these soccer
fields and provides in-house soccer programs to age groups as young as five years old. The Soccer
Association prefers to keep all of its soccer programs at one location in order to provide convenience to the
families who have more than one child involved in the soccer program. In order to accommodate the ever
growing soccer program, the Soccer Association has requested the City to subdivide the original seven
regulation soccer fields to smaller soccer fields to accommodate the younger participants and growing
number of players. During the last two years, the City has striped that complex to accommodate 25 soccer
fields in the summer months and 27 in the fall. The City's standard ratio of parking spaces per field is 35
parking spaces for soccer/football fields and 30 cars for baseball/softball fields. This would require 240 cars
for the eight softball/baseball fields and 875 cars for the 25 soccer fields. There are only 420 car parking
spaces at Flying Cloud Fields and those spaces are measured on gravel parking lots that cannot be striped
for parking. This makes the existing parking lots only approximately 80% efficient. The overflow parking
occurs on the outfield of the youth softball/baseball fields, which ruins that area of the fields for fall
football.
The traffic into Flying Cloud Fields occurs during the peak rush hour, and staff is convinced the only reason
there hasn't been a serious accident at that intersection is because the traffic is so restricted it has slowed
traffic to stop and go for nearly a half mile on each side of the intersection. Departing traffic usually occurs
right at dark and has been assisted by a police officer during the majority of the evenings.
1
I
Now that the City does have a more firm commitment from the Airports Commission that the City will have
a longer term use of this property, City staff believes it is prudent to evaluate the traffic patterns into and
out of Flying Cloud ballfields to determine if the City can make any significant improvements to this site
in terms of ease of access, as well as safety. Staff also recommends considering paving and striping the
parking lots and access roads to improve the use of the existing facilities, and to evaluate whether or not
the City can expand the boundaries of the Flying Cloud ballfields to add additional parking. Staff would
also recommend investigating the cost to irrigate the entire site in 1997.
RECOMMENDATION:
Attached to this memorandum is a proposal from Benshoof and Associates, Inc. to complete a traffic and
parking study for Flying Cloud ballfields. Staff are requesting the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission and the City Council to authorize this study, and for the staff to obtain quotes on irrigating the
remaining portion of the site that is not irrigated at this time.
The City will always need these ballfields to accommodate youth baseball, softball, soccer and football in
Eden Prairie, and believe the sooner additional parking is provided, and ingress and egress are improved,
the sooner we will alleviate a lot of frustration from Eden Prairie residents.

Unapproved Minutes
Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Monday, October 21, 1996
dates October 15, 1996, from Benshoof and Associates, Inc., Transportation
Engineers and Planners.
Lambert indicated this is a recommendation to hire Benshoof&Associates
to do a traffic and parking study for Flying Cloud ballfields. Over the years
Flying Cloud ballfields were developed on a piece meal basis without any
long term plan because of the short term 90 days termination notice. After
going through the process and seeing the 20-year plan being supported,the
recommendation is that it's worth the City's effort and money to make some
investment in doing some kind of study at this time.
It was also recommended to make a further investment in some more long
term improvements such as paving the parking lot and parking area, and
irrigating the fields. The first thing should be the traffic study to evaluate
what is the best solution to ingress and egress for that site. There is little risk
on the City's part at this time to invest in improvements in that facility
because it's going to be there for the long term. The traffic study would be
money well spent because the City may spend a significant amount of money
over the next few years making improvements to the facility that is heavily
used.
Bowman agreed with the recommendation but questioned whether the City
has expertise for doing such a traffic study. Lambert replied that we may
have the expertise but we don't have the time. The City engineering
Department generally hires RCM or Benshoof to do traffic studies. The City
does have engineers that could do it if they had the time, but hey don't have
the computer programs and models nor the staff to dedicate to traffic studies.
Benshoof is he engineering company that's doing the traffic study for the
City required for the MUSA line expansion.
Brown asked if other engineering companies were asked to bid on this.
Lambert repled no and explained Benshoof has all the numbers in their
computer system on the entire southwest part of the City. It would be a lot
cheaper for them to do this than have some other company go out and
regenerate all those numbers.
Jacobson expressed concern about the number of parking spaces needed that
were mentioned in the memo. He wants to make sure Benshoof gets accurate
information. Lambert replied the statistics in the memo are the standards that
have been adopted by the City Council for development of soccer fields,

football fields and base ballfields. The City's standard ratio of parking
spaces per field is 35 parking spaces for soccer/football fields and 30 cars for
baseball/softball fields. Staff has not given them any numbers yet because
they have not hired them yet.
Koening asked where the money for the traffic study comes from. Lambert
noted it will come out of the general fund.
Ken Bomben, 9260 Talus Circle, President of the Eden Prairie Soccer
Association, commented they use Flying Cloud Fields in the spring for eight
weeks and the fall for eight weeks. They use quarter size and half size fields
for their program. The figure of 35 parking spaces per field is for a full size
field. His estimate of what they need for the quarter size field is 20 parking
spaces per field and for the half size field 25 to 30 parking spaces. They
need an approximate total of 510 parking spaces and he explained how they
arrived at those figures. The Soccer Association would be very interested in
meeting with Benshoof and Associates.
The Soccer Association also supports the paving and striping of the parking
lots. They would like to keep the program all in one place and if the City can
expand the boundaries they support it. The Soccer Association planned last
summer to this commission with the recommendation of taking the east side
down and putting irrigation in. They were concerned about the size of their
program over using the fields. The Soccer Association has been planning for
sometime now to find a way to help the City with those fields.
Lambert noted they will talk to each of the association president's on uses
and their projections as well. If the Soccer Association requires 510 parking
spaces and softball requires 240 and baseball 30, the total would be 780
spaces.
Kracum asked if they stagger the starting times. Bomben replied they
typically run two programs each night and do stagger their starting times in
the programs. There is communication between the associations and some
years are better than others.
MOTION: Kracum moved, seconded by Wilson, to recommend approval
of the contract proposed to authorize Benshoof and Associates to come
forward with a traffic and parking plan for Flying Cloud Fields as per staff's
recommendation of October 16, 1996. Motion carried 6-0-1 with one
abstention by Commissioner Brown.

Recreation and Facilities Commission Recommendation Regrading 1997 Cash Park Fees
Robert A. Lambert, Director V.
Attached to this memorandum is a recommendation from staff regarding proposed cash park fees for 1997,
as well as a metropolitan area survey of other communities fees.
The Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission reviewed this recommendation at their October
21 meeting and agreed that the staff recommendation was too conservative based on the actual land value
of undeveloped property outside of the MUSA line. Commission members recommended unanimously for
the Council to increase the residential fees to $1,400/unit. The Commission made this recommendation based
on what they believe to be a more realistic cost of undeveloped land at $35,000/acre, rather than
$30,000/acre suggested by staff.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Robert A. Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Facilitieseg..►
DATE: October 15, 1996
SUBJECT: Proposed Cash Park Fees for 1997
Attached to this memorandum is a survey of park dedication fees from a number of metropolitan
communities listing their 1996 fees.
The City has the right to take 10%of land in lieu of park fees or to charge the developer 10% of the
raw land value for the purpose of developing the park and recreation facilities necessary to serve the
residents within the development.
Raw land values outside the MUSA line in Eden Prairie have increased by approximately 10% in
1996, according to City assessing staff.
The existing fee of$1,200/unit is based on land valued at $30,000/acre. (Low density residential
land at 2Y2 units/acre equals $1,200 times 2.5 = $3,000, which is 10% of$30,000/acre.)
A 10% increase would be a $120 increase/unit.
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff believes that the $30,000/acre average cost for undeveloped land in Eden Prairie is
extremely conservative. Staff recommends a 10% increase in park dedication fees for residential
development from $1,200/unit to $1,320/unit on January 1, 1997.
The City's fee for commercial/industrial/office development is $4,500/acre, which is far less than
10%of the fair market value;however, it is one of the higher flat fees that is being charged to date.
Staff recommends no increase in the commercial/office/industrial development park fee for 1997.

VII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Proposed Cash Park Fees
Staff referred the Commission to a memo dated October 15, 1996, from Robert A.
Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Facilities.
Lambert indicated each year they are requested to do evaluations of the increased
value of the undeveloped land in Eden Prairie. The City assessing staff indicated
undeveloped land beyond the MUSA line has increased a minimum of 10%in value
from last year to this year. This represents a 10%increase on residential park fees.
Staff not only looked at just increase in value of the undeveloped land but also what
other cities are charging for cash park fees as well. They recognize Eden Prairie as
having one of the most expensive land values in the metro area and, therefore, expect
the fees to be at the top or near the top.
Lambert reviewed the survey chart attached with the memo. Staff is not
recommending any increase in commercial, office, or industrial because their flat
fees are one of the highest at this time. There is also no indication of any significant
increase in new land values for commercial, office, or industrial compared to the
undeveloped residential land outside the MUSA line. If this is approved by the
Commission, it will be forwarded to the City Council to be adopted on January 1,
1997.
Bowman asked how long they have been at this fee schedule. Lambert replied one
year. Staff increased it significantly last year. They went from $945 to $1,200 for
residential because they had not really kept up with the market.
Bowman questioned why the 10% increase should not reflect the commercial
property also when Eden Prairie's property values are one of the highest in the metro
area. Lambert explained they don't want to price developers out of Eden Prairie.
Brown commented the Commission recognized the $30,000 an acre to be very
6

Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Monday, October 21, 1996
conservative and believes $40,000 an acre to be more accurate, therefore, he
suggested they go with at least $35,000 an acre. He indicated the Commission is in
the process to decide that right now. If the Commission wishes to recommend
higher,that's their right. As a staff person,he gave a conservative recommendation.
Bowman recommended they don't increase at all, that their rates should be a flat
percentage of the market value and that they assign a market value each year. This
would send the message that the City is not increasing the rates but that property
values are going up. The rates stay the same.
Brown commented a flat percentage does not include high and low density. He
recommended that the City Council consider$35,000 to $40,000 an acre. He noted
that the developers are only going to pass the increase onto the buyers. He doesn't
believe it's fair to figure on a percentage when they know it's a very conservative
value.
Hilgeman noted affordable housing is a big issue. They would really be pricing the
people out of Eden Prairie, not the developers. This has been a big concern of the
community that the developer is going to pass this cost on down to the homeowner.
This would be adding about$500 per house.
Koening commented she understands Brown's point but she looks at this from an
affordable housing point of view that the cost is going to be passed on to the buyer.
Bowman noted the Commission should look at this annually and prepare people that
this will be moved every year.
Motions: Bowman moved, seconded by Brown, to approve this per staff s
recommendation with the change that the Commission believes that the average cost
for undeveloped land in Eden Prairie to be closer to $35,000 per acre, rather than
$30,000 per acre,which will translate into about $1,4000 per unit instead of$1,320
per unit which is a 16.7% increase. Motion carried 7-0.

BACKGROUND:
At the October 15 meeting,the City Council requested staff to provide a more detailed report on the status
of the Community Center swimming pool and the issues that are being raised by parents of competitive
swimmers regarding air quality in the pool.
The air quality in the Community Center pool is another example of"penny wise and pound foolish." In
1979, when the City Council approved the design of the Community Center,the committee that made the
recommendation to the City Council decided first, that a referendum would have to be less than three million
dollars to be successful, and second, that the Community Center should have an ice arena with seating for
1,200,an L shaped swimming pool that had eight lanes at 25 yards and six lanes at 25 meters with a diving
well and seating for 100,three racquetball courts, a fitness center,two meeting rooms, etc. When architects
were asked to review this program and budget, four of the five architectural firms told the City that the
budget was unrealistic. The City hired the one architectural firm that indicated they could build the building
that met the budget and included all of the requests with a few minor modifications. The major reduction
from the original plan was to reduce the size of the lobby and to reduce the locker rooms in half from what
was originally recommended. As we all know,the facility was built for 2.9 million dollars; however,the City
has had to replace all of the exterior walls around the building, add dehumidification to the ice arena, and
we have had problems with an air handling system that only met minimum requirements in the swimming
pool.
The swimming pool air handling system seemed to be "adequate" in the early years of the pool; however, as
the number of competitive swimmers on the Foxjet Team and High School Swim Teams have increased,they
have experienced problems with air quality. The first serious concerns were raised four to five years ago,
and in 1993, the City contracted with LWPB to study the HVAC system and disinfectant system for the
swimming pool. The Work Statement in the Request for Proposal was as follows:
1. Perform a technical analysis of the existing HVAC system for the natatorium and disinfectant system
for the natatorium.
A. Technical analyses of the HVAC system to include measuring the amount of air turnover in
the natatorium compared to the desired amount (State Code and/or desired industry
standard).
B. Determine what improvements to the existing HVAC system would be required to maintain
humidity between 40 and 45 percent in the natatorium.
C. Evaluate the optimum condition for the balance of air between the natatorium and other
portions of the Community Center and how to reach that condition.
1
D. Evaluate the disinfectant system to determine what improvements to the system or the
operating policies would be required to maintain a combined chlorine level of.5 parts per
million or below on a regular basis.
2. Provide cost estimates for any improvements necessary to the HVAC system and for any
improvements necessary for the disinfectant system.
3. Submit a fmal report and be prepared to discuss the report with members of the Parks,Recreation
and Natural Resources Commission at their regular meeting, as well as at the City Council at their
regular meeting.
4. The final report must provide information on the existing conditions, the problems, the proposed
changes, and the reasons why the changes will correct the problem. The fmal report regarding
recommendations for the HVAC system and disinfectant system should also include other
considerations important to making a final decision such as an estimated increase in the annual
operating costs, any methods of improvements that should be considered that would reduce long term
operating costs(heat reclaim systems, etc.).
5. If a decision is made to proceed with detailed plans, what would the fees be for a second phase that
would include preparation of detailed plans, specifications, and bidding documents? If a decision is
made to proceed with construction, what would the fees be for the third phase of services that would
include bidding, contract administration, and on site observation of the work as it progresses?
Attached to this memo is a June 3, 1993-report from Bob Lambert to the Mayor and City Council and the
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission regarding the results of the HVAC system and
disinfectant system study. The cost for the recommended options ranged from $136,000 to $287,000, and
would increase the operating costs a minimum of$3,685 per year to a maximum of$36,730 per year. No
money had been budgeted for any of these proposed improvements. The report indicated that the Community
Center did meet all state code requirements regarding air handling and pool disinfectant systems;however,
it also pointed out the HVAC system was poorly designed and did not meet the current engineer"standards"
regarding air change per hour, and that there may be a more effective disinfectant system that would cause
less problems with high chlorine content in the air.
The engineer believed that the most important changes the City could make to affect any breathing problems
would be to revise the existing duct work to eliminate the short circuiting of air for supply to return and
replace the existing motors in the system with high energy efficient motors. This option would increase the
cool air change to 4.74 air changes per hour, which would exceed the minimum standard if a glass wall were
constructed between the spectator space and swimming pool "although the wall would then technically allow
the pool to meet a recommended standard,it would not increase the air changes of 4.7 per hour in the pool"
and therefore, it is questioned by staff. The problems are not caused by spectators,but by large numbers of
swimmers during practice sessions.
Recognizing that there was not any money budgeted for any of the options, staff asked the Council to
consider making the "most important changes"recommended by the engineer and then to decide on whether
or not the wall was needed in the future, and to wait until some of the other alternative systems such as
Ozone had a better track record before making a recommendation to invest in a change to the disinfectant
system.

The changes to the air handling system seemed to address the problems for a couple of years, however, in
the fall of 1996 City staff received numerous complaints from the High School Girls Swim Team regarding
breathing problems.
CONSIDERATIONS:
While the existing air handling system may meet "minimum code standards"it obviously it is not sufficient
to provide the amount of fresh air needed for the large competitive swim teams that are using the swimming
pool at this time. Staff believe the two major improvements required to accommodate the problems that are
experienced by competitive swimmers would be to provide more fresh air in the pool and to change the
disinfectant system to an Ozone system. A swimming pool consultant capable of analyzing the entire
swimming pool operation from pool design, to mechanical system design and maintenance practices may
suggest improvements beyond those two major considerations.
The swimming pool accommodates all uses other than competitive swimmers without any complaints from
users. City staff is following all State Health Department operating recommendations that are available with
the existing system to make that pool as safe as possible; however, if the City is unable to maintain a
healthy atmosphere for competitive swimmers, both the high school coaches and the Foxjets coaches
should take immediate action to move their swim practices to the Oak Point pool. Although, the Oak
Point pool was not designed to accommodate swim meets, etc., it is a 25 yard, six lane pool that could
accommodate swim team practices until any recommended changes are made at the Community Center. Staff
recognizes that the six lane pool could not accommodate the large numbers of swimmers on the High School
Girls Team or the Foxjets Swim Team without major changes in how they use the pool, however, safety
should be the first consideration.
If the recommended changes to the Community Center pool are in an amount that cannot be funded by the
City and perhaps the School District without a referendum,the City should consider not allowing competitive
swimming in that pool until it is considered a safe atmosphere for that use by the coaches and swimmers.
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends the Council authorize staff to meet with the School District staff to determine if they
are willing to jointly develop a Request for Proposal from pool consultants to review the air quality issues
at the swimming pool to ensure that both the School District staff and City staff are satisfied with the
questions being asked and with the consultant giving the answers to what should be done to address these
issues. The pool consultant should be requested to provide a report that explains what is causing the
problem, what options are available for solving the problem, and the estimated cost for the options. The
1993 report provides a great deal of information and should assist the pool consultant in an analysis.
Once the staff have the solutions and the cost estimates, the City and the School District should discuss all
funding options available and then decide how recommended improvements can be funded.
