Eden Prairie City Offices
7600 Executive Drive
COUNCILMEMBERS: Mayor Douglas Tenpas, Richard
Anderson, Jean Harris, H. Martin
Jessen, and Patricia Pidcock
CITY COUNCIL STAFF: City Manager Carl J. Jullie,
Assistant to Mgr. Craig Dawson,
City Clerk John D. Frane
Roll Call
Mayor Tenpas called the meeting to order at 4:33 p.m. Anderson,
Pidcock, and Tenpas were present.
I. APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND OTHER ITEMS OF BUSINESS
Tenpas requested that discussion relating to diversity issues
be added as item III.A to the agenda.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson, to approve the
agenda as prepared and amended. Motion carried unanimously.
II. AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR MARRETCENTER PROPERTY
Jullie briefed the Council about the matters relating to
proposed amendment to the purchase agreement with Mr. John
Teman for the Marketcenter property, located north of
Singletree Lane and east of Flying Cloud Drive. The City was
obligated to pay the amount specified in the agreement anyway,
and making the payment on an accelerated schedule would result
in net cost saving to the City due to interest rate
differentials. Waived was a requirement in the purchase
agreement to establish an escrow if the City undertook
development of the property, which was now imminent with
summer 1993 construction of a water tower.
Councilmembers agreed that the proposed amendments were fair
to the City and to Mr. Teman.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Pidcock, to approve the
amendment to the purchase agreement for the Marketcenter
property, and to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to
execute the appropriate documents. Motion carried unanimously.

III. OTHER BUSINESS
A. Diversity Issues
Tenpas related that the Eden Prairie Independent School
District was considering addition of a half-time diversity
coordinator position. He wanted staff and the Human Rights
and Services Commission to review the possibibility that the
City also fund half-time position so that the community would
benefit from one full-time person. He also wished to address
the issue of diversity within the City staff.
Anderson wanted to see this planning coordinated with
appropriate other governments and agencies. The Council could
consider formation of a new advisory commission. He wanted
outside recommendations to come to the Council before it
considered funding a half-time position.
Pidcock agreed with the possible benefits to the City and the
community, and agreed with Anderson's approach. She wished to
have the perspectives of the other councilmembers. She also
noted the budget implications of this concept.
IV. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 5:15 pm.

Recommendations
For grant year XIX, the City's entitlement had increased to $168,603.00, an increase of 90% over the
previous year due to changes in census data. The Human Rights &Services Commission recommended
activities to be funded. The major difference from previous years was several significant allocations
for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Councilmembers asked about the number of families served by the child care allotment. Lindahl
responded that this amount helped between five and nine families, depending on the number of children
involved in each family. Councilmembers asked for a report from the Greater Minneapolis Day Care
Association about how recipients moved through the system. Grace Norris, representing the
Association, said that she would forward a report to the Council as soon as possible.

POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY URBAN. "BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES"
Councilmembers agreed with the importance of good management practices involving the protection of
environmental resources. They also agreed that requirements of this type by other agencies, sans
funding for implementation and maintenance in the future, tended to force the costs of housing to be

important for other agencies to be cognizant of this problem. There were no comments from the
audience.
MOTION: Jessen moved, seconded by Harris, to:
1) Close the Public Hearing; and

X. REPORTS OF OFFICERS
A. Reports of Councilmembers
1. Council Ethics and Gift Practices
Pidcock said she believed the City was fortunate that it had an ethical Council and ethical
employees. She recommended a written policy incorporating standards or principles of ethics to
be followed by the City and suggested that the standards be set high. Councilmembers reaffirmed
the need for elected officials and employees to recognize that perception is reality, especially with
respect to ethics. Council directed Staff to prepare a value statement or code of ethics for the City.
2. National League of Cities Conference Report
lessen and Pidcock summarized the workshops attended by them at the National League of Cities
Conference in Washington, D.C. Workshops in which they participated included study of such
topics as privatization of public services, environmental preservation, cable television, and diversity
training.
3. Registration for Programs at Community Center
Pidcock noted a recent article in the Eden Prairie News regarding registration procedures at the
Community Center. Laurie Helling explained the changes which had already been implemented in
the registration procedure and changes which were planned for the future. She noted that, while
the article was critical of the process, the Center Staff was well aware of problems and had been
studying other methods for over six months. She said that additional recommendations would be
coming to the Council for review soon.
Councilmembers concurred that the changes proposed would be helpful. It was suggested that this
be an item on the agenda for a joint meeting with the School Board.
4. Southwest Metro
Pidcock reported on the upcoming reverse commute event scheduled for April 14th. She also
reported that, for the job fair scheduled for April 27th, it was expected that 80 businesses would
be represented. Pidcock suggested that the City could use the services of Southwest Metro more
frequently, for example, in sending employees to seminars, and thereby set an example for other
businesses to follow in utilization of mass transit.
� � 0
City Council Minutes 8 April 6, 1993
5. Update on Legislative Activities
Tenpas reported on several proposed bills in the Legislature which would impact Eden Prairie. The
Orfield housing bill was of particular concern because of conditions which would, in effect, remove
local controls over development and housing, particularly in developing suburban communities like
Eden Prairie. He also mentioned the proposed bill to coordinate all the radio communications
within the seven-county metro area and commended Jim Clark and Gary Therkelsen for their input
on the bill on behalf of the City.
B. Report of City Manager
1. Naming of New City Hall Continued from March 16, 1993
Councilmembers discussed options for naming the new building at 8100 Mitchell Road, which
would eventually serve more functions than just being a City Hall. A city-wide naming competition
was suggested. Councilmembers agreed to postpone their decision on a name at this time.
2. Schedule for Joint Meetings with Boards & Commissions
Council directed Staff to begin scheduling joint meetings with Boards and Commission starting at
6:00 p.m. before regular meetings. Staff was also directed to schedule a joint meeting with the
School Board. 0
C. Report of Director of Parks. Recreation & Natural Resource
1. Cedar Forest/Hilltop Neighborhood Park Acquisition Status Update Continued from March
16, 1993
Cross reported on two parcels which Staff was pursuing for park acquistion purposes in the
southwest area of the City. She explained that an appraisal had been completed on the Swanson
parcel, but that the Atkins parcel had not been appraised. Councilmembers concurred that it would
be best to keep all options open at this time and directed Staff to proceed with an appraisal of the
Atkins property.
2. Recommendation from the Natural Resources Study Committee
Cross reported on the progress of the Natural Resources Study Committee and explained its
recommendations to the Council.
MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Jessen, to adopt the following recommendations of the
Committee:

and Riley Creek corridor at an approximate cost of $5,350.

M. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Presentation of Community Survey Findings by Decision Resources, Ltd.
Bill Morris, a principal of Decision Resources, Ltd. (DRL), highlighted the findings from the
community survey his firm conducted for Eden Prairie in September 1992. He focused on
items which could be compared to the survey conducted in 1990, and on trends in Eden
Prairie which were notably different from other metro suburbs that DRL has surveyed.
Jessen arrived.
'121
Minutes of April 13, 1993 City Council Study Session Page 2
40 residents responding to the survey were very 1 i
Generally, the O r p g y e ry pleased with hying in the
community, believed they received a very good value in their City services, gave very high
ratings to their interaction with the City staff, and were moderating in their displeasure with
the property tax environment. Morris related that Eden Prairie residents are more difficult
to please than those in most other suburbs; they expect a high level of service, and are
willing to state their criticisms. Eden Prairie residents are among the most satisfied with
their community and City government, as a whole, of all the communities that DRL has
surveyed recently.
Tenpas believed that changes in the perceptions and ratings of residents were moving in "the
right direction," and attributed much of the improvement to staff efforts. He noted that the
City was more highly regarded by its residents than other residents were of their own
suburbs. Anderson was concerned about keeping the high quality-of-life feelings, as other
communities were seeing lower ratings among their residents. Morris suggested that the City
continue to expand its communication efforts.
B. Issues for 1994 Budget and for following years
Staff presented the results of an exercise to forecast expenditures and revenues (including
taxes) for 1994, 1995, and 1996, based on a number of conservative assumptions, hypotheses,
and identification of several one-time commitments to include or exclude from projections.
With the use of cash reserves and some debt management tools, the resulting tax increase
were 5.9% for 1994, 13.5% for 1995, and 6.1% for 1996. Corresponding spending increases
would be 6.1%, 7.5%, and 3.5% for 1994-1996.
Discussion focused on whether the projected spending increases were reasonable considering
the City's efforts which resulted in a slight decrease for 1992, and whether the taxes needed
to support the spending requirements could also be considered reasonable. There was
general agreement that the levels of spending and taxes needed to be explained well. It was
emphasized that the projections were merely that; they were prepared to gain an
understanding of the magnitude of the financial issues which may be facing the City.
C. Financial ,planning for capital facilities improvements
David MacGillivray of Springsted, Inc., the City's financial consultant, presented the results
of revised plans for several major City facility improvements. The goal of the plan was to
fund them keeping a constant tax capacity rate of 4.763%. Due to changes in State ad
valorem formulas and the economic downturn in commercial/industrial real estate, the plan
would not fund all of the improvements as forecasted in a 1991 plan. However, the City
would be able to fund all of the improvements planned through 1994. Such issues as
additional park bonds, swimming pools, and a southwest fire station may fit within the
constant tax rate for debt if the City's tax base rebounds more rapidly than forecast.

D. Surface water management utility
Staff presented the major issues associated with establishment of this utility. Jessen wished
to have watershed districts to be responsible for maintenance activities, at least in the area of
improvements affecting water bodies and streams. City Engineer Gray noted that watershed
districts have not taken on maintenance responsibilities. Jessen characterized the fees from
the utility as taxes, and noted that unlike ad valorem taxes, these fees would not be income-
tax deductible. Anderson wanted to begin the next phase of the process, and also requested
more information about the Eagan and Chanhassen programs.
The City Council gave staff direction to begin the next phase of the process, which would
identify the projects, activities, fees, and procedures for establishing the utility.
E. Diveic9ft program coordinator
Tenpas introduced this item and reviewed what he had mentioned at the April 6 Council
meeting. He believed that one way which would serve the community and respond to
concerns voiced by leaders of minority communities within the City would be to share a staff
position with the Eden Prairie Independent School District for this area of responsibility.
Other Councilmembers questioned whether such a position was the most effective way to
address these concerns proactively. Some commented that this matter needed to be
iaddressed by all community leaders, rather than allowing the responsibility be transferred to
only one person in Eden Prairie.
The Council wished to meet with the Human Rights Committee soon prior to a Council
meeting, and requested staff to arrange a joint meeting with the Board of Eden Prairie ISD
No. 272 as soon as practical.
F. Ethics
Councilmembers decided to announce at their annual January organizational meetings their
expectation that they and everyone employed by and affiliated with the City would approach
their responsibilities and act in the highest ethical manner.
IV. OTHER ITEMS
None.
V. ADJOURNMENT

SUBJECT: Southwest Mutual Aid Agreements
Eden Prairie has been a member of the Southwest Fire League for
many years. This organization enables member cities to provide
cooperative use of fire equipment and personnel. During the past
year, the League has been revising its joint and cooperative
agreement. The proposed agreement would rename the organization
the Southwest Mutual Aid Association, clarify and simplify the
language in the document, as well as update provisions to reflect
current practices and regulations. Many of the details implicit in
the agreement would be contained in rules to be developed by the
Association.
The Association would operate with a joint powers agreement, but
not as a joint powers organization. It will not own property nor
dispense funds other than nominal amounts for administration.
However, the Association would like to acquire a "fire safety
house, " an educational trailer, and assign ownership to the City of
Minnetonka. The City Council would need to authorize this
acquisition arrangement.
The City Attorney has reviewed the documents and found them to be
satisfactory. The agreements are available in the City Manager's
Office for review.

Commission
THROUGH: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Natural
Resources
FROM: Bob Lanzi, Athletic Coordinator
DATE: March 31, 1993
SUBJECT: Ballfield Reservation Policies
For the past 4-5 years, the Eden Prairie Youth Baseball Assoc.
has co-sponsored the Dean Bowyer Youth Baseball Clinic. The
clinic is scheduled on June 22-25 from 9am-4pm at the Round Lake
Softball Complex. This clinic does generate profit for the
instructors.
The City of Eden Prairie incurs overtime park maintenance
expense, to prepare the fields for adult softball, after the
clinic concludes each day.
Because this clinic is co-sponsored by the Eden Prairie Youth
Baseball Association, staff recommends a fee of $25 per field per
day, to help cover park maintenance expense.This is the same
policy used for non-profit Eden Prairie service organizations for
tournaments, that was approved at the October 1, 1991 City Council
meeting .

to R1-13.5, but that the City Council will not be
voting on an extension.
Hilgeman also noted that the City Council is only
voting on the rezoning issue, and stated that there is
an excellent argument that it will be denied R1-13.5,
because it was always intended to be no less than Rl-
44.
Brown asked if more trees could be saved at R1-13.5 and
Hilgeman indicated that is totally a subjective issue.
Cross indicated that more information would be provided
at the next meeting.
Lynch stated that a letter has been sent to Tanden Co.
indicating that we can't come up with the money to buy
the big woods and would oppose rezoning.
Bowman asked if everything restarts or what happens on
May 18. Lynch stated that they can't come to the City
Council before that date and that the matter will come
back through this Commission.

VII. REPORTS OF COMMISSIONERS AND STAFF
A. Reports of Manager of Recreation Services
1. Request from Baseball Association for Dean Bowyer
Camp
Bob Lanzi, the Athletic Coordinator, who does
field scheduling for adult and youth programs,
explained that a reservation request had come in
to bring in the Dean Bowyer Youth Baseball Clinic.
He stated that in the past this clinic had not
been charged for the use of the fields, but that
he felt there were some inconsistencies in how
other teams were being charged. Lanzi explained
that the purpose of charging for the use of the
fields would be to help recoup park maintenance
costs because the clinic runs to 4 :00 p.m. , and
since the maintenance crew ends at 3:30, overtime
expenses are incurred. Lanzi stated the charge

would be $25 per field, and noted that the City
Council had said that would be a fair amount.
Cross noted that this group is a for-profit
organization making money on City property and
indicated that it would be similar to someone
teaching private swim lessons at a public beach.
1
Bowman asked whether $25 would cover the overtime
costs, and Cross stated that is the approved rate
at this time, but the City may be recommending
higher fees in the future. Lanzi stated that Stu
Fox had recommended $50, and the City Council had
decided on $25 because they didn't want the
initial fee to be so high.
Lynch noted that even though it would be
consistent with policy to charge for the use of
the fields, the Dean Bowyer Clinic had probably
already put together their budget and we would be
asking them to go from zero to $25 per field.
Lynch asked if it would be possible to offer them
the option of leaving at 2:00 and not being
charged for the use of the fields, or staying
beyond that and being charged.
Lanzi noted that the Baseball Association may be
paying for it, that the Clinic usually runs from
9:00 a.m. to 4 :00 p.m. , and that they would
probably have to leave by 1:00 p.m. in order for
the maintenance crew to get the fields done.
Lanzi stated that they have been using six fields,
but that they would probably use less if there is
a charge.
Lanzi indicated that as soon as he received the
registration form, he had notified the Youth
Association and Dean Bowyer Clinic that he would
be bringing this matter to the attention of the
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission. Lanzi also stated that last year,
the Dean Bowyer Clinic was given permission to use
the fields at no charge on a one-year basis and
that they weren't guaranteed that the fields would
be available again.
Bowman asked about the cost of the camp. Lanzi
stated his guess was about $90 per child, and that
he would get more specific information. Lanzi

commented that there are usually eight or ten
instructors with six or seven kids each.
Richard commented that these successful
organizations have a kitty of money that we would
all be surprised about and many are subsidizing
other programs, so we're not dealing with people
who can't afford to cover the fees. Richard
indicated that in a month or so he would like to
know what the charge might be next year.
Hilgeman commented that she doesn't feel bad about
charging groups with a lot of money when clubs
like the Brownies are charged.
Lanzi also noted that the Youth Association does
have the option of not being charged if
maintenance crew does the fields early, and the
Youth Association maintains the fields with hand
rakes themselves later.
MOTION: Hilgeman moved to recommend a charge of
$25 per field per day, on a one-year
basis, for the Dean Bowyer Youth
Baseball Clinic per the March 31, 1993,
memorandum of Bob Lanzi.
Motion seconded by Richard and passed 6-0.
VII. DISCUSSION
There was discussion concerning the following topics at the
end of the meeting.
A. Senior Center:
Brown asked if this Commission works with the Senior Center,
and Lynch responded that it does.
In response to Brown's request for information on when the
day care center moves out and the senior center moves in,
Cross stated that she thought the family center will be
moved into its new building in August, that the park behind
would be started in June and seeded in August.
Brown stated that he would like an update on this matter.

SUBJECT: Proclamation Proclaiming May 1, 1993 as Arbor Day
For the past 12 years, the City has been recognized by the National Arbor Day Foundation as
Tree City USA, and earlier this month the City received this recognition at an awards ceremony
at the Minnesota Zoo. When the City of Eden Prairie first became a Tree City USA in 1980,
it was only one of 20 cities statewide to be selected and recognized for its comprehensive
forestry program. This year, the awards were given out for the 1992 award winners, and the
number of communities being recognized as Tree City USA recipients has grown to 94.
Participation in the Tree City USA program has enabled the City to highlight its comprehensive
forestry program which includes an Arbor Day activity. For the past seven years, the annual
Arbor Day Walk has been held at Staring Lake Park and will be held this year on May 1, from
9 a.m. to Noon.
Attached is aproclamation, f h Arbor Da Walk as
which proclaims May 1, 1993, the day o the y ,
Arbor Day in Eden Prairie. This proclamation will be read during the short program that will
be included in the activities for that day.

THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: David Lindahl, Planner
Chris Enger, Director of Planning
DATE: April 14, 1993
SUBJECT: PARTICIPATION IN 1993/94 MINNESOTA CITIES PARTICIPATION
PROGRAM (MCPP).
Request to Council:
To authorize by resolution the City's participation in the 1992/93 Minnesota Cities Participation
Program (MCPP), and the execution of all related agreements.
Background:
The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) is again sponsoring the MCPP, which began in
1990 to help local communities provide home ownership opportunities to first time buyers. MHFA
sells bonds on behalf of cities to provide low-interest mortgage financing for low and moderate income
first time home buyers. These loans are originated by private mortgage lenders interested in taking
part in the program. This will be the third year Eden Prairie's has participated in this Program.
1992 Program Highlights:
1992 Bond Allocation - $2,187,157
Total Loans Sold - 7 totaling $474,000
Interest Rate - First bond sale 7.15%; second sale 7.10%; third sale 6.65%.
Eligibility Requirements - Maximum income $40,800 - Maximum purchase price $85,000.
Units Sold in 1992193 - 7 Single Family.
1993 Program:
1993 Demand - The $85,000 maximum purchase price limit in 1992 made it
difficult for many interested buyers to purchase homes through
the Program in 1992. These limits are expected to increase to
about $95,000 in 1993, which should allow more participation.
The City receives an average of about three calls per week from
first time buyers looking for assistance. Demand for the Program
is increasing, particularly with the current high cost of housing.
1993 Bond Request - $2,000,000- Funding requests from cities have always exceeded
total funding available at MHFA, therefore, Eden Prairie will
probably receive $1,000,000 based on a $2,000,000 request.
Income Limits - $40,800 (will probably increase slightly for 1993)
Maximum Purchase Price - $85,000 (expected to increase to about $95,000)
Participating Lenders - All local mortgage lenders were provided an opportunity to
participate in the 1992 Program. Three lenders participated in
1992, and will again take part in 1993. These lenders are FBS;
Norwest Mortgage Inc.; and Twin City Federal. The loans will
be disbursed by designated lenders on a first come first serve
bases. A lottery system will be used if the number of applications
received exceeds the total allocation for any given lender.
Bond Allocation - The final bond allocations will be negotiated and finalized in
May, 1993, at the MHFA offices in St. Paul.
Participation Fee - All communities participating in the 1993 Program must again
pay a minor participation fee of $100 for every $500,000
allocated to their community. The fee is required to help MHFA
reduce the administrative costs associated with providing this
program. If Eden Prairie receives $2,000,000, the participation
fee will be $400.

FROM: Mary Krause, Project Engineer
DATE: April 15, 1993
SUBJECT: Summary of Bids - I.C. 93-5321
1993 Maintenance Materials and Water Treatment Chemicals
Bids were received on April 1, 1993 for the 1993 Street Maintenance Materials and Water
Treatment Chemicals. Four items on this bid were previously awarded, with the remaining six
items requiring additional staff review. That review has been done and the following
recommendations have been made regarding those items:
Recycled Class 5 & Class 2 Aggregate, MnDOT 2341 and 2361 Mix: A cost analysis of time,
equipment, labor and material for hauling the material from the suppliers source to the project
site was conducted for these items. As a result of this analysis, the apparent low bidder was not
necessarily the least overall costly.
The use of this analysis shows that the City would actually see a savings by utilizing Midwest
Asphalt for the MnDOT 2341 over Mueller and Sons (hauling from Midwest plant in Eden
Prairie versus Mueller's plant in Carver) and also a savings for the Class 2 Aggregate utilizing
Mueller & Sons (hauling MnDOT 2341 23 miles from Mueller's plant versus 27 miles from
Sheily's plant).
Contractor Placed Overlay: A bid item of a contractor placed overlay was included in the
specifications this year. This item included the MnDOT 2341 Mix to be supplied by the
contractor as well as the hauling, equipment, labor and traffic control required to place the
proposed overlays.
An analysis was done to compare this against the anticipated costs of purchasing the mix only
and having City crews do the hauling, placing, etc. Costs for the two methods were
comparable. The anticipated time to complete the overlays is approximately one week. Based
on comparable cost and d the required time to lace the overlays, we feel that b having the
q P Y � Y g
contractor place the overlays that City crews would have an additional week of time to perform
Y Y
other street maintenance projects that are necessary. Utilizing a contractor to place the overlay
remains within the budget amounts.
A limited amount of MnDOT 2341 Mix to be utilized for patching will still be awarded based
on supplying the material only.
_1�J
Quicklime: The apparent low bidder for this item was Western Lime & Cement Company at
$67.45 per ton. Second low bidder was Cutler-Magner Company at $67.50 per ton for a 0
differential bid amount of $73.60. After checking references for Western Lime several
comments were heard. Quality of the product was generally good, however, the delivery varied
from poor to good. Western Lime is fairly new to supplying products in Minnesota with two
of the references using the product only three to four months.
Quicklime is a crucial part of the treatment process for the City of Eden Prairie. If delivery of
this chemical was not timely, the entire treatment process of the City's water could be affected.
Cutler-Magner has been low bidder for quicklime for the City for the past several years and has
a proven record regarding both quality and reliability of timeliness.
At this time we feel it is not worth the risk at the expense of the City water supply of utilizing
a product from a company that is unproven for a savings of only $73.60. If, however, at a
future time in which the City again bids this product and Western Lime has acquired additional
time to prove their reliability, a low bid from Western Lime would again be considered.
We recommend awards as follows:
MnDOT 2361 to Midwest Asphalt Corporation
MnDOT 2341 to Midwest Asphalt Corporation
Contractor placed overlay to Mueller & Sons, Inc.
Recycled Class 5 Aggregate to Midwest Asphalt Corporation
Class 2 Aggregate to Mueller & Sons, Inc.
Quicklime to Cutler Magner Company

Staff Report
Kingston Ridge 2nd Addition
March 19, 1993
BACKGROUND
This site is designated on the Eden Prairie Comprehensive Guide Plan for development as a low
density residential land use. The adjacent properties to the north and west are also guided for
low density residential. The property to the east adjacent to Staring Lake is guided for public
open space. Specific land uses in this area include large lot, single family development to the
west and the Kingston Ridge Addition, zoned R1-13.5 to the north. The proponent is requesting
a zoning district change from Rural to R1-13.5 and a preliminary plat of approximately 2.76 acres
into 6 single family lots and road right-of-way.
SITE PLAN/PRELIMINARY PLAT
This site will be subdivided into six single family lots and road right-of-way. Lot sizes within
the subdivision range from a maximum of 27,011 square feet to a minimum of 14,165 square
feet. The average lot size is 15,905 square feet. All of the lots meet the minimum requirements
of the R1-13.5 zoning district.
When the Kingston Ridge Addition was approved, Outlot A, was subdivided and is proposed to
be given to Leland Kottke, the existing homeowner, in order to provide an adequate side yard
setback. Outlot A will be given to Leland Kottke with the development of this proposal.
Access to this site will be provided by the extension of Victoria Drive from its current terminus
along the south property line. Victoria Drive will end in a cul-de-sac on this property.
The plans indicate that the driveway to the existing house is partially on the City's property to
the south. The City has no record of any easement that allows this. With the development of
this property, the proponent must either provide proof that an easement exists or receive an
easement from the City for this to continue to occur.
GRADING
Elevations on the site range from a high point of 896 located in the middle of the site to a low
point of 860 next to Staring Lake Parkway along the east property line. The site slopes in all
directions. Approximately 6 feet of cut will be required for the construction of the extension of
Victoria Drive. In order to construct Victoria Drive, off-site grading is required. The developer
is required to get permission from the adjacent property owners to allow for any off-site grading
to occur. All of the homes are designed as walkouts with minimal grading required for
construction. Because of the sandy soils in the area, erosion control and restoration plans are
critical for this project site.

Staff Report
Kingston Ridge 2nd Addition
March 19, 1993
There is an existing stand of evergreen trees located in the middle of property. With the
extension of Victoria Drive, all of these trees will be removed. The City Forester has examined
these trees and has stated that they were planted as a windbreak and are of marginal quality. The
tree preservation was to protect significant natural site features. Because these trees were planted
as a windbreak and are of marginal quality, tree replacement is not required.
UTILITIES
Utility service is available to this project by the extension of a 6 inch water line and an 8 inch
sanitary sewer line located within Victoria Drive. These utilities will be extended to the end of
Victoria Drive to serve the proposed homes.
Storm water runoff will be collected within the street and discharged into an existing catch basin
system located in Victoria Drive.
PEDESTRIAN SYSTEMS
There is an existing 5 foot concrete sidewalk located along the east side of Victoria Drive. With
the development of this proposal, the proposed sidewalk will be extended approximately 35 feet
and terminated at the property line. A sidewalk extension into Victoria Drive is not required
because it is a cul-de-sac.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends approval of the request for a rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 on 2.76 acres and
preliminary plat of 2.76 acres into 6 single family lots and road right-of-way based on revised
plans dated March 12, 1993 and subject to the Staff Report dated March 19, 1993 and subject
to the following conditions:
1. Prior to Council review, proponent shall:
A. Provide documentation that Outlot A, Kingston Ridge Addition has been
deeded to the existing homeowner.
B. Provide documentation indicating an easement for the off-site driveway to
the existing home or negotiate a new easement.

Staff Report
Bearpath Phase H
March 19, 1993
BACKGROUND
When the City reviewed the request for Planned Unit Development Concept and Compiehensive
Guide Plan Change last summer, the "General Feasibility" of whether or not a private golf
course and controlled access residential community could be an appropriate use on this site was
discussed. The City recommended approval of the request for Guide Plan Change of public open
space to low density residential and low density residential to medium density residential and a
realignment of Dell Road and Riley Lake Road. The Planned Unit Development Process allowed
the City to identify general issues and the approach for dealing with them. These issues would
be addressed with subsequent rezoning and subdivision phases of the property.
In January of 1993, the City approved the first phase of the Bearpath project which depicted 77
lots on 38 acres in the northeast portion of the site. This phase is being replatted due to a change
in the location of the access on to Dell Road which has been moved to the north.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT REVISIONS
The road layout, lotting pattern, and golf course follows the general concept plan approved in
August of 1992. There have been some changes in the PUD which staff believes results.in a
better plan for the City. The first change is the location of the entrance to the project off Dell
Road which has been shifted to the North. This eliminates a crossing over the Hennepin Cmmty
Light Rail corridor, and allows for more natural vegetation to be preserved than the previous
proposal. The second change is a reduction in the number of total units from 420 to 321. The
approved Planned Unit Development Concept contained 260 single family units and 140 multiple
family units. The current proposal is for 226 single family units and 95 multiple family units.
The reduction in single family homes in the wooded portion of the site allows for more of the
wooded character to be retained. The reduction in the number of units in the multiple family
portion on the southern part of the property allows for less wetland encroachment. (Attachment
A shows the proposed zoning for single family and multi-family.)
REZONING TO R1-13.5
A preliminary plat has been submitted for the entire 419 acres. This preliminary plat amends
a small portion of Phase I because of the relocation to the entrance road, and a platting of
property for the balance of the area beyond Phase I.
The lots that are proposed for RI-13.5 zoning are Blocks 1 - 11, and Blocks 20 - 26. All of the
proposed lots meet the minimum requirements of the R1-13.5 zoning district with the exception
of the requirement for frontage on a public street. With the approval of the PUD Concept, the
City approved the use of a private road. As part of the Planned Unit Development District
2
-77 q
c �
Review process, a waiver will be required for lot frontage on a public street for all lots in this
proposed subdivision.
REZONING TO RM-6.5
There are two areas proposed for RM-6.5 zoning. Blocks 12, 16, and 27 are proposed for 50
twinhome units. These lots meet the dimensional and square footage requirements of the
District, but would require street frontage waivers for lots on a private road. Parcel A, off of
Bearpath. South cul-de-sac, is proposed for (30-45) townhomes. The use of this site for
townhomes is consistent with the original PUD Concept. The developer at this time has not
identified a building type, therefore, the zoning approval for this property shall be predicated
upon returning to the Planning Commission and City Council for a site plan review of the
grading, drainage, erosion control, building architecture and landscaping details.
REZONING TO R1-9.5
Block 17-19 along Street A, are proposed for R1-9.5 zoning. The lots within this area range
from 8700 sq. ft. to approximately 13,000 sq. ft. These are proposed for homes at
approximately $400,000 per unit. The price of the homes is inconsistent with the intent of the
R1-9.5 zoning district which is to provide for affordable starter housing. In recent years,
because of the price of land, it has been difficult to provide for affordable starter housing
between $75,000 to $125,000. Therefore, the district has been used to provide for alternative
types of housing in the lower price range between $100,000 to $160,000 per unit. Examples of
this would be Fairfield and Cedar Ridge.
It is the Staff's recommendation that this portion of the site not be zoned for R1-9.5 housing.
The Planning Commission has two choices:
1. Recommend that the area be rezoned and replatted for standard size R1-13.5
housing lots.
2. Recommend that the area be zoned R1-13.5 but consider waivers from the City
code to allow for the smaller lots.
If the Commission chooses the second alternative, care must be taken to identify conditions of
approval that would not set a precedent for expensive homes on small lots elsewhere in the
community. Reasons for considering the waivers from the R1-13.5 zoning district could be:
1. The density of the Planned Unit Development is .76 units per acre.
2. The smaller lots are located in an open area of the site that does not contain any
significant trees.
c �
3. The minimum lot size must be 9500 square feet and the minimum street frontage
must be 70 feet. The side yard setback shall be a minimum of 5 feet for one side
and 10 feet for the other side.
4. The average lot size shall be no less than 11,000 square feet.
5. This small lot area is part of a 419 acre Planned Unit Development with a golf
course.
MORELAND ORDINANCE
There are two shoreland areas within this development proposal. The first area is any land
within 1000 feet of the highwater mark of Lake Riley. Any lots that are within 150 feet of the
highwater mark of the Lake must meet the minimum shoreland lot size requirements. There are
no lots within 150 feet of the highwater mark of Lake Riley. The second shoreland area is
defined as 300 feet on either side of Riley Creek. Within this area, any lots within 150 feet of
the center line of Riley Creek must meet the minimum requirements as follows:
1. 13,500 sq. ft. minimum lot size
2. 120 feet wide at the high water mark
3. 120 feet wide at the building line
4. 100 foot setback
All of the lots within the proposed subdivision meet the minimum requirements of the shoreland
ordinance except lots 9 and 10, block 7. Because of the size of the adjoining lots, it is possible
to modify the preliminary plat to widen the width dimensions on lots 9 and 10.
GRADING AND TREE LOSS
The best way to minimize tree loss and grading on the property is to place the correct land uses
in the correct location. With the exception of two golf holes, all golf holes are in the open
treeless area on the site. Large single family lots between 1/2 acre to 1 acre in size are proposed
for the steeply sloped wooded areas in the north portion of the property. The roads are located
along the high points and combined with the use of walkout lots minimizes the site grading on
the project.
The tree inventory indicates a total of 91,065 caliper inches on site. Tree loss is calculated at
31% or 28,364 caliper inches. This compares favorably with the average tree loss for 60
subdivisions approved with tree replacement at 30%. Tree replacement is 11,694 inches which
is shown on the tree replacement plan.

-776
C C
The majority of the homes are expected to be approximately $500,000. Based upon a survey of
building permits in this price range, building pads are approximately 100 feet in width and 80
feet in depth. We do not expect an 8,000 sq. ft. footprint house, however, given the
configuration of these homes with garages out in front and decking in back, represents the extent
of the graded area. Staff calculated tree loss in the wooded area using this pad size to determine
tree loss.
STORM DRAINAGE, WATER QUALITY
The Engineering Department has reviewed the overall grading and drainage plan for the project
and have identified the following items requiring additional work including:
1. Storm sewer connections between many of the ponds are needed.
2. Storm sewer within Dell Road and Lake Riley Road are not shown on the plans.
There is no storm sewer outfall to Lake Riley. The solution to this is either a
pipe from the wetland east of the 7th tee through the City Park to Lake Riley or
a pipe on the southeast side of the rail line to Lake Riley. The route through the
City Park might jointly solve park drainage. Regardless of the route the pipe size
will be small 12-18 inches because most of the stormwater is retained on site.
3. Provide a drainage area map.
4. Develop a pipe outlot to Riley Lake.
5. The Developer should investigate the possibility of an existing drain tile system
that drains the orchard south of Pioneer Trail across this site with an outfall to this
project. If a drain tile system is found, provisions should be made for the
continued operation of the drain tile.
6. Structure openings for homes shall be a minimum of 2 feet above any high water
elevation of surrounding ponds.
7. The developer shall prepare a comprehensive erosion and sediment control plan
for this project utilizing Best Management Practices as outlined in the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency's Manual protecting water quality in urban areas. Said
plans should address the methods and procedures for protecting adjacent areas and
wetlands from sediment impacts during grading operations, phasing plan for
grading operation which disturbed areas are minimized and a restoration plan
detailing methods used for restoring disturbed areas.
c c
The Engineering Department has reviewed the utility plan and is recommending the following
revisions:
1. Provide two 6 inch water services to Riley Lake Park.
2. An additional sanitary sewer and watermain stub should be provided to the north
border of the property east of Street D cul-de-sac.
3. Provide sanitary sewer extension to the northeast border of the property at Outlot
C at an elevation of approximately 869.
4. Sanitary sewer invert elevation should be revised to 870 at the south end of the
project at Pioneer Trail and 868 at Dell Road in future US Homes site.
STREETS
The Engineering Department has reviewed the overall street plan within the proposal and is
recommending the following:
1. The engineers should pursue design alternatives for Dell Road to limit wetland
encroachment and potential impacts. The City, developer, DNR, and US Army
Corp are jointly working on this.
2. It is anticipated that an additional 17 feet of right-of-way dedication will be
required for those areas adjacent to County Road 1.
3. The intersection of Riley Lake Road and County Road 1 should be revised to
intersect as nearly as possible to right angles no more than a 5 degree variation.
4. Use Eden Prairie standard design for cul-de-sacs.
5. It is understood that all crest vertical curves meet or exceed a 30 mile per hour
design speed for all streets within the project. It is recommended on the major
streets, Bearpath north and south that cress vertical curves for these streets be
designed to a 35 mile per hour design speed for added safety margin.
6. Provide a traffic study for the entrance to this project from Dell Road showing
traffic turning movements and any potential car stacking problems. A traffic
study was done for the previous south entrance and the same recommendations
will apply to the new north entrance.
6
'77
7. Access for existing homes located near Riley Park must be maintained throughout
the construction of Riley Lake Road.
8. . A permit will be necessary from the Hennepin County for proposed grading
within County Road 1 and Hennepin County Railroad Authority Right-of-Way.
PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE
The Park and Recreation Staff has recently been discussing with the developer the location of
the golf course maintenance building. Because of the tightness of the site plan around the club
house and the desirability of preserving vegetation, alternative sites within the project have been
explored for the location of the maintenance building. One of these locations is generally on the
east side of Riley Park. Park and Recreation staff is concerned about the impact of the proposed
maintenance building on the park. The site for the maintenance building should be large enough
to provide for screening of the building from the park, and to provide the required parking
necessary for maintenance vehicles. Any outdoor storage of the maintenance vehicles must be
screened from adjoining roads.
Lake Riley Road from Dell Road to Riley Creek must be constructed with the first phase of the
project and completed prior to Spring of 1994. The City made the decision last year to delay
the improvements to Lake Riley Park because of the impending improvements to Lake Riley
Road. As part of Lake Riley Road construction, the developer will be required for the
construction of a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk along the north and east sides of the road.
As part of the PUD Concept approval, there were several outlots which were required to be
dedicated to the City. One outlot is 40 feet wide along the western border of the project which
represents a trail corridor. The other outlots are adjacent to Lake Riley on the north side of the
Lake. These outlots should be dedicated concurrent with the final platting of the projects.
CONSERVANCY EASEMENTS ON RILEY CREEK
The steep sloped areas for all lots on Riley Creek should have a conservancy easement over the
slopes at a distance starting at 30 feet in back of the houses down to the edge of the lots.
ACCESS FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES
There are two additional access points to this project which will be used for emergency vehicle
purposes. The Fire Marshal has indicated that there should be a minimum of a 20 foot wide
hard surface area in order to support emergency vehicles. The design of any gates, locks, etc.
should be coordinated with the Fire Department and the Police Department.

EAW STATUS
The official comment period for the EAW for outside agencies expired on February} 4th. Since
that time, the Staff has been meeting with various agencies to go over the comments and provide
the additional information requested. The next step is for Staff to prepare a record of findings
and a declaration of no significant impact for City Council. This is expected to occur at the City
Council meeting of April 20th. The Planning Commission should see this at the April 12th
meeting.
CONCEPTUAL APPROVAL FOR CLUBHOUSE
A conceptual site plan has been submitted showing the proposed clubhouse, parking, tennis
courts and driving range facilities. (see landscape plan). Since final detailed plans are not
available for review, concept approval of the site plan for the clubhouse area should be
predicated upon a site plan review by the Planning Commission and City Council. At that time
the building architecture, grading and drainage, and utilities will be reviewed in more details.
The site plan is detailed enough at this point to evaluate the proposed impacts on the wooded
areas. The site plan does a good job of preserving significant tree masses and significant trees.
Since the area where the clubhouse and facilities are located is relatively level, we would not
expect significant amounts of additional trees to be removed as part of the detailed grading
review.
ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY
The archeological survey submitted with the EAW in December identified by cultural resources
survey that the Riley Creek One site meets the criteria of the National Register of Historic
Places. The Historical Society has indicated that priorities should be given to avoiding
development in the immediate area of the site and to provide appropriate controls to assure its
protection in the future. Attachment B from the archeological survey indicates the location of
the Riley Creek one site. This area on the preliminary plat would be Lots 13 and 14, Block 24.
The grading plan indicates that no grading is proposed within the Riley Creek One site. To
preserve this area, the Staff would recommend a conservancy area be established across these
lots. At the time of building permit issuance the historic area should be located by survey.
100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN
The 100 year flood plain elevation for Riley Creek is at elevation 870. The City requires a
minimum of 2 feet above the 100 year flood elevation for structures. The structures along Riley
Creek are at a minimum of 10 feet above the flood plain.
In addition, there are high water levels established for all wetland areas within the project.
Homes must be a minimum of two feet above these water areas.
8
c �
TRAFFIC
If this 419 acre site was developed at the Comprehensive Guide Plan density of 2.5 units per
acre, a total of 1050 housing units would be possible. This translates into 10,500 cars per day.
The current proposal for 319 units would generate 3,190 daily trips.
The Dell Road Entrance study prepared by Barton Ashman & Associates recommends the
following changes to the entrance design when it was located south of the rail line. The entrance
has been relocated north of the rail line and the same conditions apply.
1. Provide two inbound lanes into the development.
2. Provide a minimum of 150 feet of storage between Dell Road and the entrance
gate.
3. Add a southbound right turn lane on Dell Road at the entrance.
4. Provide a left turn and right turn lane for exiting traffic.
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN CHANGE FROM LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO
QUASI-PUBLIC
Approval of the PUD Concept required that the golf course and wetland areas would be put into
a perpetual open space easement to the City. This means that this land area could not be used
for any other purposes other than a golf course and wetlands. Currently, the City has a perpetual
open space easement on the Olympic Hills Golf Course.
All existing golf courses in the community are guided Quasi-Public. The Quasi-Public land use
category would be appropriate for the golf course and wetland area on this site.
CONCLUSION
The preliminary plat and rezoning requests are consistent with the PUD. NURP ponds and PCA
Best Management Practices are incorporated into the project to control erosion and improve water
quality before discharge to wetlands, Riley Creek and Riley Lake. Traffic is less than what was
projected originally in the Comprehensive Guide Plan and the traffic study has recommended
minor changes in the entrance design in order for traffic to enter and exit the property with
minimal congestion.
There are some aspects of the project that require additional information, work, and study.
These would include: storm sewer connections between ponding areas, storm sewer within Dell
Road and Lake Riley Road, and a storm sewer outfall to Lake Riley.
9
A policy decision identified in the Staff Report is the appropriateness of the R1-9.5 zoning for
small lots with expensive homes. The developer has indicated that the intent of the small lots
is for a lifestyle choice, not for housing affordability. The Commission could require the
developer.to subdivide this area into standard R1-13.5 lots, or consider rezoning with waivers
based upon a unique set of circumstances which could not be duplicated elsewhere in the
community.
STAFF RECOADIENDATIONS
The Planning Staff recommends the following alternative courses of action for consideration by
the Planning Commission.
1. If the Planning Commission is comfortable with the Comprehensive Guide Plan Change,
PUD Concept, Preliminary Plat and Rezoning as proposed, then one option would be to
recommend approval of the project to the City Council based on plans dated March 19,
1993, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report dated March 19, 1993, and
subject to the following conditions:
1. Prior to review by the City Council, the proponent shall:
A. Revise the area proposed for R1-9.5 housing to R1-13.5 standard zoning
or R1-13.5 zoning with waivers as identified in the Staff Report.
B. Complete the recommended changes as identified in the drainage section
in the Staff Report requiring the completion of the storm sewer outfall to
Riley Lake.
C. Revise the preliminary plat to show conservancy easement areas where
identified in the Staff Report along Riley Creek and the Riley Creek
archeological site.
D. Revise the entrance road design based upon the recommendations of the
traffic study.
E. Revise the preliminary plat to meet the shoreland ordinance.
2. Prior to final plat approval, the proponent shall:
A. Submit detailed storm water runoff, erosion control, utility plans for
review by the City Engineer.
B. Submit detailed storm water runoff and erosion control plans for review
by the Watershed District.
10
-73a
3. Prior to building permit issuance, the proponent shall:
A. Pay the appropriate cash park fee.
B. Meet with the Fire Marshal and review fire protection requirements such
as hydrant spacing every 300 feet, and emergency vehicle access design.
4. Planned Unit Development District Review Waivers are granted as follows:
A. Use of a private road.
B. Lots not fronting on a public street.
C. Lot size waivers for Blocks 17-19.
5. The wooded areas shall be staked with a snow fence 48 hours prior to the commencement
of grading. This shall be inspected by City Staff prior to the issuance of a permit.
6. Rezoning to RM-6.5 (parcel A) multiple family is predicated upon the developer
returning to the Planning Commission and City Council for site plan review of this area.
The maximum number of units in this area shall not exceed 45 units.
7. PUD Concept approval is granted for the clubhouse area only. The developer will be
required to return to the Planning Commission and City Council for a site plan review
of the clubhouse area.
II. If the Planning Commission is comfortable with the Guide Plan Change and PUD
Concept as proposed but would like to see revisions to the R1-9.5 area, the entrance
design off Dell Road and completion of storm drainage plan then one option would be
to continue the item to the April 12th meeting for additional review.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
FROM: Barbara Penning Cross, Landscape Architectrtrz
DATE: April 1, 1993
SUBJECT: Supplemental Staff Report to March 19, 1993 Planning Staff Report for Bearpath
Phase 2
The concept plan for this project was approved last summer. In January Phase 1 was approved
for single family housing in the northeast part of the site. Phase 2 is a preliminary plat of the
remaining 419 acres with a small replat of the entry road for the first addition. A site plan for
tl-,e club house and maintenance building will be the only remaining items for approval.
Issues for the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission are:
SHORELAND ORDINANCE:
Th r 1 within e
e proponent has agreed to change lot lines on two lots so that all the lots th
subdivision meet the Shoreland Ordinance.
GRADING AND TREE LOSS:
Large lots and reduction in the number of homes within the wooded portions of the site, moving
the entry road and careful layout of the golf course have kept the tree loss at 31%. This loss
is within the average range for subdivisions. Tree calculations were done based on an 80'x100'
building pad and could be lower depending on the size and configuration of the house.
STORM DRAINAGE AND WATER QUALITY:
This project will be graded utilizing NURP ponding and the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency's "Best Management Practices." The City has been working with the proponent on a
joint plan to take treated storm water through the park to an outlet in Riley Lake. An alignment
on the south end of the park works well for drainage and does not impact the mature oak trees.
Permits from other agencies will be required and have been applied for. All regulations
concerning wetlands will be followed.
�g�
STREETS:
De❑ Road
Dell Road will be a four lane road divided with median strips similar to Prairie Center Drive.
The parkway concept was discussed several years ago to provide some relief to the broad
expanse of roadway. Park, recreation and natural resources staff would encourage and support
the use of low maintenance plant materials within this median to further promote the parkway
concept.
Riley Lake Road
Timing of Riley Lake Road construction is critical to the construction of Riley Lake Park. The
park has been delayed one year to allow realignment of Riley Lake Road, which was scheduled
to be completed in 1993. The new alignment must be passable in order to close the park for
construction and remove the existing road as planned. The work schedule for the proponent has
been delayed and Riley Lake Road will not be completed in the 1993 construction year. The
proponent has stated the road will passable by June 1994, at which time the park construction
can start. Every step should be taken by the developer to complete this roadway for park
construction to begin in June of 1994.
PEDESTRIAN/BICYCLE TRAILS:
Staff recommends an 8' bituminous trail be constructed by the developer concurrent with road
construction along the north side of Pioneer Trail and along the east and north sides of Riley
Lake Road up to the creek. This trail construction is consistent with requirements of other
subdivisions. The City will continue the trail construction along Riley Lake Road to the
Chanhassen border where it intersects with the westerly trail. The pad for this trail should be
graded by the developer at the time of construction of the golf course.
A 40' outlot is being dedicated to the City for trail purposes. The trail meanders slightly and
takes advantage of golf course views where it is safe and is screened as much as possible from
other land uses to the west. Berms of varying height and a wide variety of plant materials have
been used to add interest.
OUTLOT DEDICATION:
A number of outlots will be dedicated to the City for park purposes. The outlots to be dedicated
are shown on Exhibit B. Dedication of these outlots as agreed to in the concept plan approval
will be done at time of final plat.
MAINTENANCE BUILDING LOCATION:
The Bearpath Golf Course will be locating a maintenance building on site to service the golf
2
course. The maintenance building and club house will be reviewed in more detail during site
plan review. The general location at this point is on the west side of the golf course opposite
the park entry. The site for the maintenance building should be large enough to provide
screening of the building and maintenance vehicles from the park and to provide the necessary
parking required for maintenance vehicles.
ANIMAL CONTROL MEASURES:
The proponents of Bearpath are aware of problems with nuisance animals and are taking steps
to address it. A 25 foot wide buffer beyond the ordinary high water mark of the wetlands will
be maintained protecting water quality as well as wetland vegetation as specified in the concept
approval. The 25 foot wide vegetation strip will discourage geese, as they like a clear-cut path
to the lake to see predators and to have easy access. Staff gave the proponent a list of deer
resistant plant materials for landscaping residential areas where deer are present. A
homeowner's design review committee will review house plans as well as plant materials and
inform homeowners of potential problems.
RECON U IENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this project based on this supplemental staff report and the
Planning Staff Report of March 19, 1993.

No changes.
III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - MARCH 15, 1993
Hilgeman noted that at paragraph 1 on page 10, it should
read that Suburban Chevrolet had 700 square feet of signs
compared to Ford's 60 square feet.
MOTION: Kube-Harderwijk moved to approve the minutes of
the March 15, 1993, meeting as amended.
Motion seconded by Bowman. Motion passed 6-0.
IV. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
A. Bearpath
Rick Packer of the Sienna Corporation commented that Cross's
memorandum of April 1, 1993, is essentially complete. He
indicated that they had received approval for 420 units and
that number has been reduced to 299 due to market and
environmental conditions. The only thing the Commission
members hadn't received with their packet was a concept plan
for the clubhouse. Packer indicated there would be a 31
percent tree loss which includes the clubhouse area. He
stated the original plan was for a one-story design, which
is more efficient, but they wanted the clubhouse to have

more presence on the site and have redesigned it as a two-
story, which reduces the building pad size. He indicated
the only other issue left to resolve is the location of the
maintenance building. It is currently anticipated that the
building will be along the LRT corridor across from the
park.
Packer indicated that hole No. 8 had been moved to the
wetland to mitigate tree loss, and that there will be enough
parking for the 20 or so year-round employees.
In response to Brown's question regarding moving hole No. 8
to the wetland, Packer stated that there would be less tree
loss by moving it, that the wetlands have basically been
separated by farm roads, that none of them function the way
they used to, and that it is sometimes possible to walk
across the wetlands in the summer. They will be restoring a
small wetland, tripling its size, and it will actually
become a type 3 or type 4 wetland and hold water. He also
indicated that water discharged into the wetland would be
treated.
Richard noted his concern about the appearance of the
maintenance shed, and indicated that he wanted to be assured
that the building would not become an albatross that could
be seen from the city park.
Cross indicated that they would be reviewing a detailed site
plan, and Packer stated that he would be coming back for
finishing details. Packer noted that the building will be
set on a hill, higher than the road, and will be set back
with trees screening it and separating it from the tee on
the 18th hole. Packer commented that they also wanted a
separation between the golf course and the maintenance area,
especially visually.
Brown asked what assurance the city would have that the
wetlands would be improved, and if it is a good deal for the
City. Cross noted that degraded wetlands in another park
area had been used for an NURP pond, and Packer stated that
none of the wetlands to be filled in are DNR regulated.
Cross indicated that all permits had been applied for and
all regulations would be followed.
Richard commented that there seemed to be many holes where
there are no trees and he felt golf courses with more trees
are more appealing. Packer indicated that there will be
1.6 million dollars worth of tree replacement on the golf
course and Cross stated that 281364 caliper inches of trees

need to be replaced. Packer noted that many holes are
alongside the woods. Trees would be replaced to protect the
roadside, but not along the house sides of the golf course
because people who build or buy there are paying for the
view of the golf course. Packer commented that there would
be enough water on the course that no one is going to care
about the trees.
Lynch noted that there is a lot of concern about the impact
on wildlife and asked what would be done in that regard
because of the sculptured lawns. Packer stated that they
would be leaving a 25 foot vegetated buffer along the water
to discourage geese, but that other than that, there really
isn't anything that can be done because geese come to
landscaped areas. Cross commented that at Round Lake, there
is vegetation around the lake with the exception of the
beach and courts area, and that the geese come to those
areas. Packer noted that it is rare to golf and not see
geese.
In response to Brown's comment that the proposal indicates
226 single units and 95 multiple units, Packer stated that
there would be 299 total units.
Hilgeman asked, with regard to the shoreland ordinance,
about the reference in the March 19, 1993, memorandum from
Michael Franzen to change lots 9 and 10, block 7 . Packer
responded that they will move the lot lines to meet the
ordinance. j
Cross commented that the timing of the construction of Riley
Lake Road is critical to this project because in order to
build the park, the existing roadway will need to be closed,
and cars will need to use the realigned road. She indicated
that the developers stated the road could be passable by
June of 1994; at the least, rocked and ready for traffic.
Hilgeman asked for clarification regarding the request to
rezone Block 17-19 to R1-95. Packer indicated that it had
been approved with lot waivers.
Brown asked if the MPC considers yard chemicals when they
figure run off, and Cross confirmed that they do go into all
of that and that the EAW with this project has a whole
chapter on runoff. Packer commented that fertilizers used
in yards only attach to rocks and such, so the runoff is
from the streets, sidewalks and crossings that the chemicals
attach themselves to, and stated that runoff from all hard
surface areas are put into sedimentation bases and yards

A. Recommendation to Hire Consultant to Evaluate Community
Center Natatorium
Cross explained that they had received four replies to
the Request for Proposal, ranging from $2,500 to
$6,000, and that they are considering recommending the
Lundquist, Willmar, Potvin and Bender, Inc. bid after
evaluating the cost and because Lundquist, Willmar,
Potvin and Bender, Inc. has experience with Eden
Prairie's system.
Hilgeman commented that she thought we had a grasp of
what was wrong with the system at the previous meeting
and that Johnson Controls had already sent a letter to
Dave Black reviewing the options and costs. Hilgeman
asked if we were proposing to hire a company, at a cost
of $1010001 to do what we have already ascertained.
Cross explained that we don't know the technical
aspects of the situation, that the engineer would be
doing a detailed study, and that previously someone had
just made a guess as to the problem based on a
telephone call.
Richard noted that hiring a consultant would be the way
to get an exact answer to the problem.
MOTIONt Lynch moved to recommend authorizing a
contract with Lundquist, Willmar, Potvin and
Bender, Inc.
Motion was seconded by Kube-Harderwijk, and passed 6-0.
Hilgeman asked what the percentage meant on the bid
relating to design and construction documents and
construction observation and if the study could cost
more than $10, 000. Cross explained that it would be a
percentage of the cost of the entire project.

- MEMORANDUM -
TO: Development Review Committee Members
FROM: Engineering Division
DATE: March 9, 1993
SUBJECT: Bearpath Golf and Country Club
The following are preliminary comments by the Engineering Department in reviewing plans for
Bearpath Golf and Country Club provided by Sienna Corporation dated October 23, 1992, with
a latest revision date of February 19, 1993. The plans reviewed consist of a preliminary plat,
preliminary grading plan, preliminary utility plan, and tree preservation plan. The comments
will be divided into sections consisting of streets, utilities, and grading and drainage.
STREETS
• Developer's engineer should pursue design alternatives for Dell Road to limit wetland
encroachment and potential impacts.
• It is anticipated that an additional 17 feet of right-of-way dedication will be required for
those areas adjacent to CSAH 1. Contact Hennepin County to verify.
• The intersection of Riley Lake Road and CSAH 1 should be revised to intersect as nearly
as possible to right angles (no more than ± 5 degree variation from 90 degrees).
• Use Eden Prairie's standard design for cul-de-sac's.
• It is understood that all crest vertical curves meet or exceed a 30 mph design speed for
all streets within this project. It is recommended on the major streets, Bearpath North
and South that crest vertical curves for these streets be designed to a 35 mph design
speed for an added safety margin.
• Provide traffic study for the entrance to this project from Dell Road showing traffic
turning movements and any potential car stacking problems.
0 Access for existing homes located near Riley Park must be maintained throughout the
construction of riley Lake Road.
• A permit will be necessary from Hennepin County for proposed grading within CSAH
1 and Hennepin County Railroad Authority Right-of-Way.

Page 2 of 2
UTILITIES
• Provide two 6-inch water services to Riley Lake Park.
• An additional sanitary sewer and watermain stub should be provided to the north border
of the property east of the Street D cul-de-sac.
• Provide a sanitary sewer extension to the northeast border of the property at Outlot C at
an elevation of approximately 869.
• Sanitary sewer invert elevations should be revised to 870 at the south end of the project
at Pioneer Trail, and 868 at Dell Road and the future U.S. Homes site.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
• The storm sewer plan as proposed is incomplete: Storm sewer connections between
ponds are missing, storm sewer within Dell Road and Lake Riley Road are not shown,
and storm sewer outfall to Lake Riley is not shown.
• Provide drainage area map.
• Develop piped outlet to Riley Lake.
• The developer should investigate the possibility of an existing drain tile system that
drains the orchard south of Pioneer Trail across this site with an outfall to this project.
If a drain tile system is found, provisions should be made for the continued operation of
drain tile.
• Structure openings for proposed homes shall be two feet above any high water elevation
of surrounding ponds.
• Recommend that the owner develop a comprehensive erosion and sediment control plan
for this project utilizing Best Management Practices (BMP) as outlined in the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency's manual, Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas. Said plan
should address methods and procedures for protecting adjacent areas and wetlands from
sediment impacts during grading operations, phasing plan for grading operation in which
disturbed areas are minimized, and a restoration plan detailing methods used for restoring
disturbed areas.

Dear Mr. Enger:
RE: Proposed Plat - Bearpath Golf and Country Club
CSAH 1, Northeast quadrant of Lake Riley Road
Section 19/30, Township 116, Range 22
Hennepin County Plat No. 2045
Review and Recommendations
Minnesota Statutes 505.02 and 505.03, Plats and Surveys, require County review
of proposed plats abutting County roads. We reviewed the above plat and make
the following comments:
- For future improvements to this segment of CSAH 1 the developer should dedicate
an additional 17' along CSAH 1 making the right of way 50' from the center of
CSAH 1. In the area of Outlot 0 the additional 17' of right of way should be
dedicated north and south of the CSAH 1 centerline making the right of way
corridor 100' wide.
- The proposed location of the Dell Road north intersection with CSAH 1 meets the
minimum sight distance requirements for the posted speed limit and is acceptable
to Hennepin County.
- The proposed intersection of the emergency vehicle road and CSAH 1, directly
opposite the existing Dell Road south intersection with CSAH 1, is acceptable to
Hennepin County. A system prohibiting public use of this access must be
installed across this emergency access. Any future upgrading of this access will
again require an approved Hennepin County entrance permit.
- Because of a small knoll just east of the Riley Lake Road/CSAH 1 intersection,
this intersection does not meet the minimum sight distance requirements for the
posted speed limit. The developer can relocate the Lake Riley Road/CSAH 1
intersection to a safer location or regrade the small rise so the existing
intersection will meet the minimum sight distance requirements.
- Any new access to a county road, a revision to an existing access or a change in
land use requires an approved Hennepin County entrance permit before beginning
any construction. Contact our Permits Section at 930-2548 for entrance permit
forms.

- All proposed construction within County right of way requires an approved utility
permit prior to beginning construction. This includes, but is not limited to
driveway removal , drainage and utility construction, trail development and
landscaping. Contact our Permits Section at 930-2550 for utility permit forms.
- The developer must restore all areas disturbed during construction within County
right of way.
Please direct any response to Les Weigelt.

FROM: Jeffrey Johnso
DATE: April 16, 1993
SUBJECT: Bachmans, Inc., Early Grading Permit
Bachmans, Inc. is requesting City Council approval of an early grading permit to
commence site grading and soil correction operations for a proposed Bachmans Garden
Store to be located at the northwest corner of the Flagship property adjacent to the
Purgatory Creek Recreation Area.
Due to poor underlying soils on the property, any proposed building will require
specialized foundation methods and soil corrections to parking, driveway and walkway
areas to allow for settlement and soil consolidation.
Other agency approvals that would be required prior to beginning any grading operations
are the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Purgatory Creek Watershed District. The
proponents have submitted a letter from the Department of Army stating that this project
would be authorized through a nationwide permit. This project is scheduled for the
Watershed District to be held May 5, 1993.
Please refer to the attached plan and attached memo written by the proponent's architect.
Recommend approval of. Bachmans request for an early grading permit, subject to
conformance to the erosion control policy and site restoration consisting of seed and disc
anchored mulch be installed within 14 days of completion of grading.
This memo is meant to respond to the request for grading permit only. Please refer to
Bob Lambert's memo attached for a discussion of land use concerns.

RE: Bachman's - Eden Prairie
Dear Mayor Tenpas and Council Members,
On behalf of Bachman's, Inc., we are requesting an early grading permit for the proposed
Bachmaes facility in Eden Prairie located between the Flagship Athletic Club and the city
owned park entrance to Purgatory Creek Recreation Area.
Soil conditions on this site require final grading be in place between five and six months
to obtain 90-95% of potential settlement. It is our intent to grade the site in early May,
seed it for erosion control over the summer, start building construction in early September,
completing site work by the end of October with building construction through the winter
for a spring opening.
It is critical to Bachman's to obtain maximum site compaction due to the nature of their
business regarding carts as they enter and exit the building. Due to the seasonal nature
of Bachman's business, it is critical to them to open in the early spring.
We request approval from the city council for this preliminary grading permit so we may
submit it to the watershed district on April 26th for their May 5th meeting. Bachman's
understands that city council approval of preliminary grading does not affect the process
or the result of the required approval procedure. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
CLUTS, O'BRIEN, STROTHER ARCHITECTS

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources ' (t
DATE: April 15, 1993
SUBJECT: Request by Bachmans Inc. for an early grading permit to prepare site north of
Flagship building
Bachmans Inc. have requested an early grading permit on the property immediately south of the
Purgatory Creek Recreation Area entry in order to surcharge that site in preparation for a
Bachmans nursery, greenhouse and outdoor storage site. City staff have met with Brian Cluts,
the representative for Bachmans on this proposal and expressed the following concerns regarding
this request:
1. Staff are concerned that the early grading permit would tie in a specific location
for this building and would leave little flexibility for any changes in the review
process by the commissions and city council.
2. The concept plan that has been submitted provides only a ten foot strip of land
for screening the parking lot and loading docks from the park.
3. This proposal requires a variety of variances to allow outdoor storage which we
would ultimately want screened from the park entry and trail system.
4. Staff are concerned about the location of the outdoor storage in relation to the
marsh and the impact of water runoff from the outdoor storage area which would
contain hundreds of plants that are heavily fertilized.
The City of Eden Prairie has spent well over $100,000 in planning for the Purgatory Creek
recreation area today and intends to spend 1.8 million dollars of tax increment financing and an
additional three million dollars from the Watershed District in developing a park and wetland
improvement project that is designed to improve the water quality in Staring Lake downstream.
This park was originally intended to attract high quality development that would take advantage
of the park fountains, garden areas, trails and plazas. The major concern that we have with this
land use is how to screen it from the park, and how we are going to insure that we protect the
marsh from the runoff from this type of use.

City staff believe that a nursery could possibly work adjacent to this park if the developer was
willing to screen the outdoor storage in the same way Frank's Nursery screened their outdoor
storage and if they were willing to provide landscaping and berming that would fit into the
landscaping character of the park to the north and to the Flagship Athletic Club to the south.
Without a significant amount of additional property and willingness on the part of the developer
to make those commitments, the Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources would
recommend denial of the early grading permit and would recommend that the developer proceed
through the commissions and obtain approval of the development prior to grading the site.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Waste Management Commission
DATE: March 11, 1993
SUBJECT: Changes in Residential Refuse Collection System
Executive Summary
Background: During the past year the Waste Management Commission
has been studying the system of residential refuse collection in
Eden Prairie. Residents have contacted commissioners and staff
with requests to limit the number of trash trucks or the number
of days refuse appear along their streets. The current "open"
system of collection seems inefficient as collectors drive all
over the City several days during the week to serve their
customers. In September 1992 the Commission met with the City
Council and discussed the concept of "organized collection, " and
the Council concurred that changes in the system deserved further
exploration. Commission members have now developed
recommendations which would result in several benefits to the
City.
Goals: In analyzing the options available to reorganize the
refuse collection system, the Commission measured them against
five general goals:
1) Reduced Costs--both financial (customer rates) and
environmental
2) Traffic--fewer trucks, reduced roadway wear and tear
3) Public Health and Safety--limiting number of days
trash is on boulevards, making roadways safer for
children and pedestrians
4) Increased Array of Trash Services--e.g. , collection of
appliances, greater variety of recyclables collected
5) Rationality and Simplicity--a system that is easy to
understand, simple to use, credible, and easy to
administer.
Recommendation: The major recommendation of the Commission is to
divide the City into collection districts; any licensed refuse
hauler would collect trash within an individual district only on
the weekday specified for that area. (Recommendations are
discussed on pages 4 and 5. )
7;
Waste Management Commission
Page Two
The Current System: Refuse collection is done under an "open
system, " a scheme which is prevalent in many (if not most) of the
cities in the metropolitan area. Haulers are licensed by the
City, and residents individually arrange for service with a
licensee. Today, three firms licensed by the City collect from
residential accounts, generally defined as single-family through
eight-unit buildings. The dominant firm in residential
collection appears to have 70 to 75 percent of the Eden Prairie
market.
Licensees are also required to offer separate collection of yard
waste and at least four recyclable materials (newsprint, glass
containers, metal cans, and plastics with a "neck") . The haulers
also must provide containers to store recyclables for their
customers. Weekly collection of recyclables is required year-
round, and of yard waste during the appropriate seasons. Due to
the current equipment technology available to collectors of
refuse and recyclables, licensees have three trucks to serve each
customer--one for recyclables, one for yard waste, and one for
the rest of the refuse.
General survey data suggest that Eden Prairie residents pay on
the low end of fees for collection of refuse and recyclables
among cities that have an open system. Residents in cities which
have "organized collection" generally have lower fees or a
greater array of services provided for a similar cost.
Among the advantages of the current system are:
*Choice for customers
*Competition, which maintains more responsive service
*Residents understand how the system works
*Relatively little City administration or involvement
Among the disadvantages are:
*Higher prices for customers
It is less expensive to have routes which include
each household on the street than to have accounts
scattered along a street or throughout the City.
Trash collection is most economical as a "natural
monopoly, " similar to such utilities as electricity,
telephone, cable, etc.
*Truck traffic occurring throughout the week, which reduces
traffic and pedestrian safety, increases air and noise
pollution, as well as causing more roadway wear.
*Refuse placed in the boulevard several days during the
week, which presents longer exposure to public health
hazards, opportunities for disruption by pets and
wildlife, as well as aesthetic nuisances.

Organized Collection: When cities (rather than individuals)
contract for refuse collection services, it is considered to be
an "organized" collection system. Cities adopt this system
primarily to ensure a standard of public health and sanitation.
Organizing collection can also allow cities to exercise leverage
in the market for services, and in so doing result in more
favorable rates or scopes of services for their residents.
State statutes specify a procedure for organizing collection.
Essentially, there is a six-month public comment period after a
city announces it plans to organize. Preference is given for
existing licensees to organize collection among themselves. If
the city makes its case for organized collection after responding
to the public comments, it may begin to prepare bid documents,
contracts, franchises, etc.
Some cities have contracts with a private consortium. The
consortium handles the administrative and accounting
responsibilities for the individual private firms within it.
Members of the consortium decide the distribution of business
among them. This system operates in Minneapolis and Champlin.
The Waste Management Commission preferred the consortium
arrangement during much of its study. Discussions with the
current licensees at Commission meetings indicated the haulers
would not be willing to work toward this system.
Obviously, organized collection requires a much greater
commitment of City resources to manage the system. Not only
would there be a greater demand on staff and supporting ,
equipment, but there could also be financial exposure arising
from uncollected fees (depending on billing and contractual
responsibilities) .
Resident Preferences: Several questions in the 1992 community
survey probed residents' preferences about the refuse collection
system. Residents overwhelmingly preferred to retain the present
system (57 percent so responded; 13 percent had no preference at
all) . However, about two-thirds of these respondents were
willing to change the open collection arrangement if they could
save 10 percent or more on their refuse hauling bills. The least
preferred alternative was having the City designate one hauler to
serve the entire City. As the research firm concludes, "If a
significant savings could be realized through the City assignment
of haulers, a majority of residents would favor the changeover. "
The Commission believes that Eden Prairie residents are willing
to change provided that the benefits can be demonstrated easily.
In the experience of other cities, residents will register a lot
of comments during the first few months of a new system. The
system proposed by the Commission should be well-accepted.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
A) Designate single-day collection districts
The City should be divided into districts for refuse collection.
Licensees would continue to serve customers anywhere in the City,
but they would be able to collect only on the weekday specified
for a particular district. Similar plans are in place in
Bloomington and Brooklyn Park. This system has the following
advantages:
*Public health and aesthetics enhanced by having waste
placed along streets only one day per week
*Truck traffic congestion reduced to one day per week
*Competition maintained among licensees, and choice of
hauler retained for customer
*Prices should be contained due to service efficiencies
for haulers, and by haulers competing more intensely for
customers
*System is rational, easy to understand, easy to administer
*Public acceptance appears to be high
*Haulers would prefer this plan to other possible systems
if the City chose to replace the open arrangement.
There would be a few drawbacks. Customers could not choose the
weekday of collection. Some residents will complain about
changes. While there could be more truck traffic on a street for
that one collection day than occurs now, it is limited to trucks
of three firms (the experience in Eden Prairie would not be
analogous to the cities above which have six to fifteen
licensees) .
B) Optional bi-weekly collection of recyclables
The City Code now requires licensees to offer weekly collection
of recyclables. According to the 1992 community survey, some 73
percent of residents take advantage of recycling on this
frequency.
The Commission believes that costs could be contained or reduced
if haulers were given the flexibility (but not required) to
collect recyclables on a bi-weekly basis. With proper
preparation (primarily rinsing) of recyclables, storage for two
weeks should pose no odor or pest problems for residents.
��S
Waste Management Commission
Page Five
C) Special waste collections should be provided
The Council should consider spring and fall yard waste drop-off
collections. The City could contract with haulers to have trucks
at one or more locations for residents to bring their yard wastes
over a few weekends during these "heavy" times of the year.
Haulers would then take the wastes to compost sites. Residents
would be spared the extra charges usually made by haulers to
handle more than customary amounts of yard wastes. Costs for
this service could be offset by the City's $57, 300 yard waste
rebate from Hennepin County, but it would reduce the amount of
the rebate (about $4 .55 in 1992) the City passes through to each
residence.
The Commission also strongly suggests that the City work closely
with haulers to offer a spring clean-up collection. This service
is one which commissioners have heard would be welcomed by
residents. It would represent new spending by the City.
For the Council's information, Hennepin County plans to open a
solid waste transfer in Bloomington by Fall 1993. Household
hazardous wastes will be taken at this station as they are
currently at the Brooklyn Park transfer station. The Commission
will work with staff to publicize the opening of the Bloomington
facility and the convenience of the household hazardous waste
drop-off.
D) As an alternative, consider single-hauler
collection districts
To maximize the benefits from changing the collection system, the
Council may wish to establish collection districts and designate
only one hauler to serve that district. This approach would be
the most cost- and environmentally-effective. It has the
additional advantages of having the minimum truck congestion,
road wear, and air and noise pollution.
Despite the price advantages and economic common sense of this
alternative, there are some drawbacks. Foremost are legal
challenges to the City's authority to do so (even though the City
Attorney assures that state statutes expressly gives cities this
prerogative) and to the City's award of contracts or franchises.
City staff would be faced with the time-consuming responsibility
of day-to-day management of the contracts and handling
complaints. Additionally, public acceptance would be less than
enthusiastic as competition and choice would be removed.
CONCLUSION: The program proposed by the Waste Management
Commission offers workable and acceptable improvements for
collection of refuse and recyclables in Eden Prairie.

Discussion
This task will provide an opportunity to review the work
program and schedule. General baseline information, such as
soils, topography, land use history, and aerial photography
will be obtained from the city staff. City records pertaining
to parcel size, ownership, and zoning classification will also
be collected at this time. Potential sources of information in
other agencies will be identified and contacted.
Site work maps (half sections) will be obtained from the city
for subsequent use in conducting the field inventory and
evaluation steps. This mapping will be suitable for graphic
and display purposes in meetings. 40
Arrangements for access to each of the forest tracts will be
made through the City of Eden Prairie. In some cases, it is
understood that site access may be limited and study results
must be taken accordingly.

Recreation, and Natural Resources staff to:
• Discuss the background history and status of
the forest tracts, with special attention to any
special designations or management actions
undertaken by the city or others.

TASK 2 Obiective
INVENTORY OF
SITES To complete a ranking (A through D) of each site using the
Natural Heritage Standards for different natural
communities.
Discussion
Ranking of natural elements originated with the start of state
natural heritage inventories in the mid-1970s. Originally,
ranking focused on species, and global, national, and state
numerical ranks were developed. More recently, plant
4-2
community ranking has begun, an example of which is
included in this RFP for the maple-basswood community.
The current methods of plant community ranking used in
Minnesota will be employed to provide an element rank for
each community/site in this study.
Task Elements
i
A. Field inspection.
B. Application of Natural Heritage Standards
Task Product
AA
Each site will be provided a ranking of its overall quality as a
representative of the natural community type.
Client Involvement

TASK 3 Ob,jective
CRITERIA
EVALUATION FORMS To organize and objectively describe forest tracts' physical
and ecological qualities, land use environment, management
opportunities and constraints, and other related
characteristics.
f Discussion
The task will synthesize relevant baseline data from Tasks 1
and 2 into concise statements reflecting the vegetative,
ecological and environmental qualities of the forest tracts.
Activities within the task will also focus on the influences of
site and neighboring land uses on the forest environment,
potential for compatible development within the tracts, and
possible management measures for restoration or
maintenance given a preservation objective.
The summary information will be provided for each site
separately so that the various commissions and committees,
as well as the Eden Prairie City Council, can undertake a
comprehensive review of sites if they so desire.

prepared for each site. Statements responding to each
criterion will be brief and concise.
Task Product
Completed evaluation forms will be included in the summary
report.
Client Involvement
The client will review and comment on the completed
evaluation forms.
TASK 4 Objective
PRIORITIZATION OF
SITES To provide a subjective evaluation of the seven sites
explaining which site is the most desirable down to the least
desirable in terms of preserving a unique natural community
example.
Discussion
i
Stating the order or priority of forest tract values requires the
1 reviewer to place his value on individual criteria as a basis
for the ordering. It should be recognized that the consultant
team may have much different values than city officials, staff,
and residents.
Barton-Aschman recommends that the ad hoc Committee on
Natural Resources or other duly appointed body provide
ongoing direction and input during the evaluation process
that provides us with an understanding of priority of issues.
The group should serve as an effective conduit back to the
general public and those interest groups that may exist.
