Request for Zoning District Amendment within the Community Commercial Zoning District on 10.8 acres, preliminary plat of 10.8 acres and Site Plan Review on 10.8 acres into three lots with variances to be reviewed by the Board of Adjustments and Appeals. Location: Northwest corner of the intersection of County Road 4 and Highway 5. (Ordinance for Zoning District Amendment within the Community Commercial Zoning District and Resolution for Preliminary Plat.) Bruce Carlson, Northco Corporation, presented the details of the proposed development plan. Enger reported that the Planning Commission recommended denial of the project as it did not meet City Code requirements. • Noting that the liquor store portion of the proposal would be City-owned and operated, Council members expressed concerns regarding the ethics of granting a variance to the City for its benefit. Other issues raised by Council members included parking availability, base area ratio (BAR) for the site, sight lines at the intersection of Highway #5 and County Road #4, precedents which may have been set in other shopping centers for parking. Enger explained that a reduction in building size to approximately 7,885 sq. ft. would eliminate the need for a variance to the BAR and would reduce the requested parking variance. He noted that the City Code requirement was for six (6) parking spaces/l,ooo sq. ft. of gross floor area but that the proposal showed 3.6 spaces/l,OOO sq. ft. of gross floor area. Carlson said that a proof-of-parking area was depicted in the plans. Gray discussed the various approaches at the intersection of Highway #5 and County Road #4 and said that the sight lines should not be a problem if the building were constructed in the location shown. Gray said that an added safety feature was that the intersection was signalized. Enger said that other variances to the parking ratio had been granted to other shopping centers, but not to the degree requested by the developer for this site. As an example, Enger said the Rainbow Foods Center parking ratio was 5.5 spaces/1,OOO sq. ft. of gross floor area. • q(~ '-I • • City Council Minutes 5 May 4, 1993 Dick Brown, 7685 Heritage Road, Keith Martens, 7760 Heritage Road, Don Sabinske, 7740 Heritage Road, expressed concerns regarding traffic, bicycle and pedestrian safety, and the ethical issues involved if the City would grant variances in its own best interests. Tom Lauby, former owner of the video store currently located in Prairie Village Mall, said that traffic was a concern for his store in the past. Jim Connelly, manager of Panorama Video in Rainbow Foods Center, asked that no special considerations be granted to one retailer that are not granted to others in the market area. Mayor Tenpas declared a recess at 8:55 p.m. Tenpas left the meeting at 9:00 p.m. Acting Mayor Anderson called the meeting back to order at 9:05 p.m. MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Jessen, to: 1) Close the Public Hearing; and 2) Direct that Staff prepare a Resolution of denial with understanding that it does not preclude a modified proposal in the future. Findings for Denial of the proposal. Motion carried unanimously • Carlson asked if the fees could be waived for a new application. Council members concurred that the fees for a new proposal should be waived for a substantially similar application. V. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Jessen, to approve the Payment of Claims as presented. Motion carried on a roll call vote, with Anderson, Harris, Jessen, and Pidcock voting "aye." VI. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS VIT. PETITIONS. REOUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS VID.

Jullie, City Manager Craig Dawson, Asst. to City ManagercJ) May 14, 1993 Amendments to section 5.36 of City Code On April 20, 1993, the Council accepted several recommendations from the Waste Management Commission relating to collection of residential refuse. Since that meeting, the City Attorney's office has drafted an ordinance to amend the pertinent sections of the city Code to effect these changes. The amendment to Section 5.36, Subd. 5, would permit the City to establish refuse collection districts. Collection of general refuse and recyclables would be limited to a particular weekday for those districts. This section of the proposed ordinance has been drafted to allow ease and flexibility when changes in the collection days or district boundaries become necessary. The amendment to section 5.36, Subd. 6, would give licensed refuse collectors the option to collect recyclables from residences on a bi-weekly basis. Second reading of the Ordinance would be scheduled at the time a Resolution is considered to implement the same-day collection district plan. This Resolution would be presented for council consideration after planning sessions had been held with current licensees. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Council approve the first reading of this ordinance to amend section 5.36 of the City Code . '1.

This update will be used to determine if the City should proceed with design of the water treatment plant expansion in 1994. These factors include the following: • New historical population information available from the 1990 US Census and from recent work performed by the City Planning Department since the census,was completed. • • New population projection information prepared by the City Planning Department which was published in the City's 1992 Community Profile report. In addition, consideration shall be given to a scenario in which the MUSA line would not be expanded beyond its current boundary in the City •. The impact of potential state regulations with regard to water supply permit requirements, in particular, the need for a conservation program and a comprehensive water plan. The option selected by the City Council as a result of the 1990 study was the expansion of the softening facilities at a site adjacent to the existing plant, with a new wellfield located in the southwest area of the City. Under this study, the costs for this option will be updated. In addition, a wellfield site in the proposed Miller Park area will be considered in lieu of the preliminary site used in the 1990 study. In addition to the above factors, the updated study would provide a cursory review of other possible options not previously studied, such as: • Potential phasing of the water treatment plant expansion. • A separate service zone in the southwest area of the City using a separate supply with treatment for iron and manganese removal only. To provide the City with a more complete perspective of the long range improvements needed to meet the City's requirements, this updated study will also review the Engineer's 1991 assessment of the water quality of the City's existing supply as it relates to any new or proposed W3SED042193 1 • • • • • • regulations which have been developed since the assessment was originally performed. The specific scope of services to be provided under this Agreement is as follows: 1. Review existing City records on water quality and water use. Recommend testing for additional water quality information for contaminants not previously tested for that are to be regulated under recent or anticipated regulations. 2. Review new population records and projections and in combination with historical water use patterns, develop an updated water demand projection for the ultimate population of the City. Review the peaking factors associated with the projected water demand. Review the impact of a potential change in zoning south of County Road 1 which would require larger lots. This would result if the MUSA boundary was not expanded from its current alignment. - 3. Meet with representatives of the Minnesota Department of N~tural Resources, Minnesota Department of H~alth, and the Metropolitan Council to obtain a briefing on the current direction that the applicable regulations mayor will be taking as a result of recent legislative activities. 4. Develop a philosophical assessment of the ability of the City's existing plant to meet the regulations of the current and proposed SDWA regulations based upon the Engineer's previous assessment of the treatment process. 5. Develop a range of impact on water consumption which might be experienced as a result of implementing various water conservation techniques for the City of Eden Prairie. Consider the demographics of the community and the experience of similar communities with conservation. Discuss this information with the City staff and determine if any adjustments should be made in the timing of the proposed improvements. A detailed study of alternative conservation programs and the projected effects which might be experienced in Eden Prairie would be outside the scope of this study. 6. Update the cost data for Alternative A from the 1990 study using ENR construction cost indices. 7. Based upon demand projections, determine a schedule for implementation of the proposed improvements. Identify methods for contingency planning should the demands exceed projections such that an expansion was not implemented in time. Evaluate risks and their impact. W3SED042193 2 8. Develop advantages and disadvantages with regard to the creation of a separate water supply for the southwest area of the City which would provide iron and manganese removal treatment only. 9. Prepare a draft letter report presenting the findings and recommendations and submit to it to the City staff for review. 10. Meet with City staff to discuss the report and to receive their comments. 11. Incorporate City review comments and finalize the report. Submit 15 copies of the final report to the City.

Frane, City Clerk MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager FROM: David Lindahl, Planner DATE: May 5, 1993 SUBJECT: MODIFICATIONS TO YEAR XIX CDBG PROPOSALS Requested Action: The Human Rights and Services Commission recommended at their April 12, 1993 meeting that the Council transfer $2,000 in CDBG funds previously approved for purchase of a Telephone Device for Deaf (TDD) and Assisted Listening Device (ALD) , to the Child Care Subsidy Program. This will help serve persons on the waiting list for affordable child care in Eden Prairie. Background: • Two new developments have surfaces since the Year XIX CDBG funding proposals were • approved by the Council in April. The City Police Department has purchased a TDD machine for their facility. This machine will be moved with all other police equipment and operations to the new City Hall facility in September, 1993. Therefore, there is no longer a need to purchase a TDD machine with CDBG funds. Also, Hennepin County has indicated that the Assisted Listening Device (ALD) the City planned to purchase with CDBG funds must be used for "CDBG eligible" public service activities, ie, the Adaptive Recreation Program. The City cannot use CDBG funds to purchase this equipment if it is used to improve access to any other service than the Adaptive Recreation Program or other eligible public service programs. This device was to be used by hearing impaired residents who attend City meetings and functions where microphones are used. Microphones transmit a signal which is received by the ALD worn by hearing impaired individuals. City meetings are not an eligible CDBG public service. Tria Vikesland from the Adaptive Recreation Program has indicated that she will try to budget for an ALS Device in 1994. • • • • BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO/LIQUOR STORE CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE HENNEPIN COUNTY, MIl\.1NESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 93- FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND DECISION RE: REQUEST FOR ZONING DISTRICT AMENDMENT WITII1N THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT, SITE PLAN REVIEW, AND PRELIMINARY PLAT INTO THREE (3) LOTS ON 10.8 ACRES LOCATED IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF TIlE INTERSECTION OF COUNTY ROAD 4 AND HIGHWAY 5 BACKGROUND Northco Corporation has proposed a Zoning District Amendment in the Community Commercial Zoning District, Site Plan Review, and Preliminary Plat into three lots on 10.8 acres for the construction of a 10,700 square foot commercial building at the 110rthwest comer of Highway 5 and County Road 4. - The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on said request of Northco Corporation on April 12, 1993, and recommended denial of the request.

Gray, City Engineer FROM: Ieffrey Iohnson, Engineering Technician DATE: May 11, 1993 SUBJECT: Request for Grading Permit on Cherne Property Centex Real Estate Corporation is requesting City Council approval of a grading permit to allow approximately 40,000 cubic yards of excess fill generated from the Pinebrook Subdivision aka Carmody Village to be placed on the Cherne property lccated at the northwest quadrant of Columbine Road and Fountain Place. The site intended for the excess fill is well suited in that, while there is no development proposal for this site as yet, any development will require placement of fill in a similar location. There is a fairly serious erosion problem on this property further to the north in the flatter low lying areas. These lower areas have been farmed for many years and there are many gullies and sediment deposits near the wetland areas. Last summer we met with Mr. Cherne on the site and reviewed these erosion problems with him and requested some corrective measures be taken. Therefore, we recommend that any grading permit issued on this property be contingent upon adequately addressing the existing erosion problems that currently exist. Recommend approval of the grading permit for this property subject to the following: • Owner or applicant provide a restoration plan for existing areas of erosion. • Review and approval by the Purgatory Creek Watershed District. • Reduce maximum slope to 4-foot horizontal for every foot vertical. • Recommend that a financial commitment be provided for the restoration of the eroded areas either as a part of this proposal or independently provided by the property owner.

Frane, City Clerk 10 11 MEMORANDUM TO: City Council THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager FROM: Chris Enger, Director of Community Development Michael D. Franzen, Senior Planner DATE: May 13, 1993 SUBJECT: Fairfield West Phase II At the April 26th meeting, the Planning Commission recommended a 5-2 approval of the request by Centex Homes for 11 lots. Those voting in favor of the project felt that the plan as proposed was consistent with the original PUD in terms of lot size and tree protection which preserved 70% of significant trees on the property. Those voting against the project felt that a decision should not be made until the results of the Natural Resources Study Committee are finalized . 1011 • • • • • • Unapproved Minutes Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Monday, May 3, 1993 The harness will not be used during any public ice time including developmental ice time without the proper supervision of the EPFSC.

Motion passed 8-0. DISCUSSION: Brown questioned the developmental ice time and the harnesses limitation of use as being the same time as the figure skating club time. Lambert clarified it as meaning that unless there is an instructor there that knows and can supervise the use of the harness, they would not allow any body to use it. B. Letter from Tom Larson, Minnesota Wildlife Refuge FYI item only . Lambert wanted the Commission to be aware of and understand the letter outlining the proposed boundary additions of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge is in a preliminary stage only. V. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS A. Fairfield West Phase 2 This is the Phase 2 project that was continued from July, 1992. The project will include an additional 11 lots on 6.3 acres. Popovich Lynch asked Lambert to clarify the status of the Natural Resources Committee's finalization of their priorities, if the Council approves a referendum what happens after that. Lambert explained that they are down to seven sites. The proposed schedule is to make a recommendation to the City Council at the July 6 meeting, assuming the Parks Commission and the Cultural Commission will be able to hold a joint meeting on June 28 to hear a special presentation from the Natural Resources Committee. If the final recommendation of the Committee includes the Fairfield West Phase 2 site as one of the sites it would like to acquire, it will then be the City Council's decision when and if it goes to a referendum . 2 /:~)::: j~ Unapproved Minutes Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Monday, May 3, 1993 Popovich Lynch stated that the question is whether or not we want to lose the entire site to high-density zoning when the facts show the trees in that location are 150-250 years old. There will probably be substantial damage to those trees that will result from construction near the trees. She does not feel comfortable losing those trees to an experiment in which there will be no way to determine whether or not the experiment succeeded until 3-5 years after construction has been completed. Hilgeman feels that the "ultimate" tree lose will be much greater than the originally stated 28% tree loss. Experts, including developers, believe there is no way that a developer can develop the area as RI-13. 5 and only loose 28% of the trees. She does not believes that by zoning the area as RI-44 that it would mean bigger houses and amenities that would result in more tree loss. She believes that a homeowner in the RI-44 district would purchase a home because of the wooded lot and not take out trees or at the least limit any further tree loss. She does not support the zoning of the area as RI-13.5 and further states that it was meant to be zoned R,1-44 only and it should remain that way. Brown asked Lambert why the Commission is put on the spot continually because builders want to build more than what is recommended to be there under RI-44 zoning always asking for twice as much as what is planned for the property. Lambert states that the property in question is not zoned Rl-44 that it is zoned rural. Most land that is not developed in Eden Prairie is zoned rural. It is guided as low-density residential, which generally means R 1-13.5 lots. He does not believe that Centex has come in "asking for twice as much as what is planned for the property." Centex has followed the guide plans and requests set before them. The Big Woods is typically the kind of woods that would be considered to be zoned RI-44 because of the natural resources in the area. The reason Lambert recommended allowing this experiment, is because Centex has gone much further than anyone else in the City has ever gone in trying to preserve trees. Centex shows that it is possible, although difficult, to develop this subdivision with only 28% tree loss. Lambert was very impressed with Centex and the extra effort and study they have put 3 • • • • • • Unapproved Minutes Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Monday, May 3, 1993 forth in the development of this particular site, that it is really difficult to argue that we should not give them the chance to try to save those trees with their proposed controls. Lambert believes if the experiment were to actually work, that it would serve as a great standard as far as preserving trees for other developers developing in woods. If it doesn't work, Lambert would then recommend going back to 1 acre lots or scenic easements, or other restrictions that are appropriate and legal. The city tree preservation ordinance states that we want to preserve 70% of the significant trees, not all the trees. This site is a mature maple forest, 60% of the trees on this site are significant. In a typical subdivision in a typical woods that has been developed 30% of the trees are significant and in a typical development there are only 70% of that 30% that are saved. In the Fairfield West development, we want to save 70% of 60% of the trees. This subdivision would remain more heavily wooded after development than most subdivision. Richards asks, at what point does the commission decide that the experiment has worked on these lots, do we allow the developer to develop additional lots? Lambert's recommendation is there would not be a final analysis of this experiment until 3 years after the last lot was developed. Putnam stated that Centex has been assessed for sewer and water, storm sewers that do not even serve the site, Candlewood Parkway as a collector street to serve the area that is currently there and for the future Scenic Heights Road. Centex feels frustrated because its has been assessed for urban development and cannot get approval to develop the site. Centex feels they are being singled out by the City to a standard different from other developments. Richard believes that Centex and the Commission have the same intentions in mind in regards to the lot sizes being 112 to 1 acre in size. Richard feels that the Commission believes the bigger the lot the better likelihood the trees would be saved. Richard is comfortable with the 112 to 1 acre lot size. Bowman also believes that Centex has done an exceptional job to ensure there would be minimal tree loss. However, he does not feel comfortable with the project being an experiment and the jeopardizing of the trees. Hilgeman doesn't believe that Centex is being singled out. She states that it is unfortunate that Centex feels that way. She believes that Centex should 4 JOlt e Unapproved Minutes Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Monday, May 3, 1993 have known when it purchased the property that the property was of a great significant historical value to the City. She also states that if the Commission votes to approve zoning the property R 1. 13.5 that it would be going against its own City Code, Chapter 11, Land Use Regulation, Section 1l.10, Subdivision 2. MOTION: Popovich Lynch moved to request that the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission deny the rezoning request from Tandem Corporation from rural to Rl-13.5 on the 6.34 acres as well as the preliminary plat and other items as indicated in the staff report dated April 23, 1993, for the following reasons: 1. The purpose of RI-44 is to reserve appropriated located areas for single- family living on large lots with vegetations, slopes, water bodies or other significant natural features are best preserved through large lot development. 2. Rezoning to RI-I3. 5 district within the lot sizes are too small for the heavily wooded portion of the proposed development. 3. If zoned R 1-13.5 it is likely to cause substantial environmental damage by undue destruction of the woods. 4. Under Rl-44 it should be possible to preserve at least 75% of the significant trees and tree mass in the RI-44 district (per the City Attorney's memo). 5. Based on what we know, we will not know the damage of the experiment until 3 to 5 years out and that it is inappropriate to design other areas based upon the extension of this experiment. Motion passed 6-1. DISCUSSION: Kracum states that the Big Woods is a mature forest. He states it is evident of human encroachment and ultimately the site will eventually be developed and he feels strongly that RIM is the appropriate zoning because key preservation is the utmost goal of the Commission.

This plan was subsequently amended by making New Market Drive into a cul-de-sac which resulted in the loss of 1 lot. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the 40 lot proposal to the City Council. At the City Council, there was continued discussion on the appropriate lot size in the wooded portion of the property. The Eden Prairie Land Trust approached the City and the developer with a request to delay action to allow the Trust to pursue purchase of the woods. In order to allow this opportunity to occur the City Council granted zoning and plat approval for 28 lots. This left 12 lots available for future development. It was required that developer not proceed with the zoning and plat request for the remaining 12 lots prior to March 15th and that no development would start until after May 1, 1993. At the City Council, a citizen petition for EA W was submitted. (The mandatory category for residential EAW is 250 single family units.) The City Council considered a discretionary EAW • since there were 40 units. The proponent indicated they would reduce the number of lots to 39. • The City Council made a motion that the 39 lot subdivision is exempt from the EA \V process. REZONING TO Rl-13.5 All of the proposed lots meet the minimum requirements of the R1-13.5 Zoning District. The number of lots on Blocks 1 and 2 is the same as the original request. There is one less lot on Block 3. GRADING AND· TREE LOSS The grading plan is the same as the previous proposal for Lot 1 and 2 and there would be no net change in tree loss. With the elimination of one lot from Block 3, there will be some additional tree saving which reduces the tree loss from the approved 29 % to 28 % . The Planning Commission previously determined that an overall tree loss of 29 % was acceptable based upon the following conditions: 1. A Scenic Conservation Easement or restrictive covenant would be required at the distance of 25 feet from the back of each house on a wooded lot. This will preserve trees in the rear yard and would allow for deck and three season porch expansion. IObZl • • • • ( Staff Report Fairfield 'Vest Phase IT April 23, 1993 ( 2. Snow fencing the greatest area possible according to the attached grading limit plan. 3. Designate on the plan where trucks can park, where building materials can be stored, and where waste materials can be stored on each lot. 4. Require that Certificate of Survey provided at the time of building permit issuance clearly indicates existing and proposed grades, type of home to be built, detailed tree inventory, erosion control and construction fencing plan, location of dumpster, location of materials, and location of construction equipment. 5. Provide a security in the amount equal to tree replacement based on a worse case scenario at a 46 % tree loss. These conditions are in the Developer's Agreement for the 28 lot subdivision. CONCLUSION Previous Staff Reports indicate other standard requirements that are applicable to this 11 lot subdivision. These include erosion control, utilities, NURP ponds, sidewalks and trails, and tree replacement. Since the Council closed the public hearing and only approved 28 lots, a new Public Hearing and decision on the rezoning, preliminary plat and PUD must be acted on by the Planning Commission. If the Planning Commission believes that the reasons for approving for 40 lot subdivision in 1992 are still valid, then the appropriate action would be to recommend approval of rezoning and preliminary plat request for 11 lots. The approval would be based on a determination that the lot sizes, home sizes and tree preservation program as proposed would preserve the majority of the significant trees and would be effective in keeping tree loss to less than 28%. STAFF REC01\1MENDA TION The Planning Staff would recommend approval of the Planned Unit Development Concept, Planned Unit Development District Review, Rezoning from Rural to RI-13.5 and Preliminary Plat of 6.34 acres into 11 single family lots and road right-of-way based on plans dated April 16, 1993 subject to the recommendations contained within the Staff Report dated April 23, 1993, as well as applicable recommendations of other Staff Reports in 1992 and subject to the following conditions: ( ( Staff Report Fairfield West Phase II April 23, 1993 ~ 1.

IO~3 • • • • • MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission THROUGH: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources FROM: Barbara Penning Cross, Landscape Archited~ DATE: April 30, 1993 SUBJECT: Supplemental Report to the Planning Staff of April 23, 1993 for Fairfield West 2nd Addition Much has been written and discussed regarding the "Big Woods." The purpose of this memo is to explain and clarify some of the items regarding this site. LOT SIZE: All land in Eden Prairie is guided for use until preliminary plat and zoning applications are approved. This site is guided as low density residential. This designation "allows a maximum of 2.5 units per acre. This number is calculated on gross acreage, not net acreage, excluding right-of-way, outIots, etc. The City may consider alternatives such as density transfer or RI-44 lots when the City's goal is to protect a resource on property that an owner wants to develop. The Timber Bluff project in southeast Eden Prairie is a good example where Rl-44 lots were used to protect the steep slopes on the bluffs. The first plan for Timber Bluffs had lots on the face of the bluff. To meet a City desire to protect the bluffs and meet the 14 lots desired by the developer, the City allowed one-half acre lots adjacent to Riverview Road in exchange for one acre lots with building pads off of the bluff face. In the case of Fairfield West 2nd Addition, the proponent is slightly below the norm of 28% (30% is average) tree loss for a similar subdivision. The development meets all ordinances and codes for lot sizes, setbacks, etc. for the RI-13.5 District. There has been some discussion that Rl-44 lots will save more trees than the RI-13.5 District. This would be guaranteed only if small houses are placed on large lots. The City can dictate what size lots the developer can build through zoning, but can only restrict house sizes in the R 1-9.5 District. City experience has shown requiring larger lots increases the lot price and would probably dictate larger and more expensive homes. The Timber Bluffs project, zoned RI-44, has a building pad size of 10,000 square feet to • accommodate a $500,000 plus house with typical amenities including a three car garage, decks, IO~q three season porch, etc. A typical house pad with the Centex product in the 13.5 zoning district has a typical building pad of 2,400 square feet. This house would sell in the $150,000 to • $200,000 range. An RI-44 lot is slightly over three times as large as a 13.5 lot, but a typical building pad for that size lot is over three times larger than the 13.5 building pad. Although it would be easier to save trees on a RI-44 lot than on a Rl-13.5 lot, we would be requiring the same standard of preserving 70% of the significant trees in either case. The developer has indicated they believe that can meet that standard with the development proposed, and have provided a reasonable enough plan to consider allowing them to try on this small piece of woods. If they are not successful, staff would recommend R 1-44 lots on the remaining wood with greater tree protection methods. THE NATURAL RESOURCES STUDY COMMITTEE: The Natural Resources Study Committee is in the process of evaluating sites for preservation by the City of Eden Prairie. This "Big Woods" parcel is one of seven sites being considered for preservation. It has been stated recently that the Fish and Wildlife Service will be acquiring three of the seven parcels to be included in the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. This point needs to be clarified. The US Fish and Wildlife Service may consider acquiring a portion of the three sites east of Highway 169. There are many steps and public hearings that must happen prior to a decision by that agency. A final report of these seven sites and a recommendation to the City Council from the committee is scheduled for July 6, 1993. Possible funding sources and discussion of a referendum will also need to be addressed. TIMING: Legally the City is required to take action on the preliminary plat 120 days after the receipt of the application. The application for this project was submitted March 22, 1993,making July 21, 1993 the deadline for action by the City Council, or it automatically is approved. RECOMMENDATION: The City's goal of preserving 70% of the significant trees applies to all sites regardless of the land use or zoning proposed. This means that the "70%" would apply to RI-13.5 as well as Rl- 44 lots. The developer is meeting all codes and policies set by the City and has complied with all requests. For these reasons, park, recreation and natural resources staff recommend approval of this project. BPC:mdd fair2/6 • • TO: FROM: MEMORANDUM City Council Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Carl Jullie, City Manager Bob Lambert ( , Director Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission DATE: August 6, 1992 SUBJECT: Fairfield West/Big Woods Development Alternatives BACKGROUND: At the July 20th meeting the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommended delaying action on the Fairfield West proposal in order to schedule a public meeting on the Big Woods. The purpose of the public meeting was to provide the citizens of Eden Prairie an opportunity to comment on whether or not the City should attempt to acquire all or part of the Big Woods. The City staff reference to this sugar maple/basswood woods as the "Big Woods" has led some people to believe that this forty acre parcel is the only remnant of the big woods that once covered a significant portion of eastern and southern Minneosta. In fact Eden Prairie has many examples of "Big Woods" remnants. The thirty-five acres of woods in Miller Park is a more diverse woods, but also does contain areas of sugar maple and basswood. Staring Lake Park contains over sixty acres of hardwoods, mostly oaks. Anderson Lakes Park and Bryant Lake Park together contain nearly five hundred acres of mature woods, mostly oaks. The Purgatory Creek Valley will eventually contain nearly nine hundred acres of preserved open space, much of it especially south of County Road One, preserving mature hardwoods . . What makes the forty acre parcel in southwest Eden Prairie somewhat unique is the mature stand of sugar maples, which provides the "cathedral like" canopy. There are several other areas in southwest Eden Prairie that provide areas of mostly sugar maple and basswood. The fourteen acre parcel on the north shore of Riley Lake, that was at one time designated as part of Riley Lake Park, is a woods with a very similar character. There are also several areas along Riley Creek, south of County Road One, with significant stands of mature sugar maple, basswood and oak. This information does not diminish the value of this forty acre woods, but it should put in perspective that this is not the last piece of woods left in Eden Prairie, and perhaps we should be reminded that the City has preserved a significant amount of woods within the park system. When our park system is ultimately developed the City will own nearly three thousand acres of permanent public open space, over two thousand acres are designated to be permanent undeveloped open space. Memo City Council, PRNR, Carl Jullie August 6, 1992 OPTIONS: Page Two The City has basically three options to consider regarding the fate of the "Big Woods" remnant. The first option is to acquire the entire parcel. The second is to acquire a portion of the woods through park dedication, and attempt to control careful development of the rest of the wooded area. Third is to allow development throughout the entire wooded area and control development with a goal of preserving seventy percent of the trees. Option 61, acquisition of the entire site. Tandem Corporation has indicated that the cost to acquire the entire wooded site would exceed two million dollars, plus assessments. City staff has investigated possible funding sources for this wooded site for many years and have not been able to locate grant money available for acquisition of a woods of this size. The "Trust for Public Lands" might possibly provide a low interest loan and would assist the City in negotiating for the acquisition, however, they do not have funds available as a "grant" that would not have to be reimbursed. • The capital improvement program for use of cash park fees would have to be completely reprioritized and would, in fact, have to eliminate all other improvements and acquisitions for • at least the next ten years in order to acquire this parcel. The only possible method to fund the acquisition would be through a referendum. If a referendum were considered, the City would have to reprioritize other planned capital improvement projects in order to maintain the City's goal of stabilizing tax rates for capital improvement projects. Option 62, acquire a portion of the site through park dedication and controlled development on the remainder. Tandem Corporation owns approximately sixty acres of land outside the designated 212 Corridor, including the 23.5 acres proposed to be sold to Centex Homes for Fairfield West. If the City chose to require dedication of land in lieu of park fees, the City could require dedication of ten percent of the developer's property for park land in lieu of cash park fees. The City could require dedication of approximately six acres in order to preserve a park that would retain a small portion of this woods intact. If the City Council chose to take land in lieu of park fees, City staff would recommend requiring that the land be located adjacent to a proposed trail or having direct access to a trail, and that the land dedicated, be a prime example of the entire wooded site with the location to be approved by City staff. !O~1 • Memo-City Council, PRNR and Carl Jullie August 6, 1992 PROS: Page Three 1. Acceptance of land in lieu of park fees would preserve a small area of the woods in its natural condition and could provide a nice detour off a transportation route, either along the railroad right-of-way, Dell Road or Scenic Heights Road trails. 2. The dedication of a six acre parcel (approximately 510' by 510') and the careful development of the remaining woods would retain over seventy percent of the woods and provide an example of what the entire area looked like at one time. CONS: 1. A six acre parcel surrounded by homes and streets would not be large enough to provide "a peaceful retreat" as the entire forty acre site is barely large enough to offer that type of experience. 2. If the City did acquire the five to six acre site, the only appropriate development of such a parcel would be to construct a trail through the site with one or two benches and to leave the woods relatively intact. A five to six acre woods may be enjoyed by an occasional trail user passing by the woods; however if the remaining development is developed as proposed with scenic easements over the back yards and has seventy percent of the trees protected, the passing trail user may obtain similar appreciation for the woods even though it is in private ownership. 3. The Park and Open Space System Plan for the City of Eden Prairie will provide many large publicly owned preservation areas, as will the Fish and Wildlife Service in the Minnesota River Valley, and Suburban Hennepin Parks at Anderson Lakes and Bryant Lakes. A six acre parcel will not provide a significant addition to the system. Option #3, careful development of the entire woods. City staff had sited the Fairfield subdivision as an "experiment" in determining whether or not the wooded area can be developed on one-third to one-half acre size lots. Although Centex is doing everything staff believes is possible in order to preserve as many trees as is feasible within development on those sized lots, staff still has doubts as to whether or not Centex can achieve its goal of preserving seventy-one percent of the trees on this site. If they are able to achieve that goal, staff would support developing the rest of the woods, using similar controls. By placing scenic easements twenty-five feet behind each house and preserving seventy-one percent of the trees on the site, the majority of the canopy and the "feeling" of the sugar maple woods Memo-City Council, PRNR and Carl Jullie August 6, 1992 Page Four will remain. Obviously the character of the existing woods will change drastically once streets and homes are developed within the woods or even adjacent to the woods. The wildlife that lives there now will change. The quiet that was enjoyed there even a few years ago is already gone with the adjacent development. RECOMMENDATION: The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources staff continue to recommend the "experiment" with the Fairfield subdivision as a way to determine if a woods of this character can be developed on one-third to one-half acre lots and still preserve over seventy percent of the trees. City staff believe that this experiment will not be able to be assessed until at least fifty percent of the homes are constructed and are at least three years old. Root damage to trees often takes up to three years to show up on the tree, therefore, staff would be inclined to recommend that additional development in the "Big Woods" be limited to one acre lots until this "experiment" is concluded. City staff would not recommend taking land in lieu of park fees as it would merely be creating a mini park that might serve as a buffer or wayside rest for a trail and little else. This would be an extremely expensive mini park with questionable additional value to the park system. RAL:djs • • MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Hz-- DATE: July 17, 1992 SUBJECT: Big Woods Remnant For many years City staff and a number of citizens of Eden Prairie have recognized the unique character and value of a remnant of the "Big Woods" that used to cover much of eastern and southern Minnesota. That remnant is located south of Miller Park and west of the Chicago Northwestern Railroad right-of-way in Southwest Eden Prairie. Approximately 40 acres of a mature basswood, maple, oak hardwood forest has remained undisturbed until now. The Fairfield West development by Centex Homes proposes the first encroachment into this wooded sanctuary. Although the Fairfield West proposal will only encroach into about 10% of the woods, how the City allows that encroachment will certainly dictate, to a great extent, the future of the remaining woodland. City staff have evaluated various methods of preserving that woodland, including obtaining grants for acquisition, using cash park fees or land dedication in lieu of park fees. There is little opportunity to obtain grants for acquisition of a woodland of this size. It is not large enough to be of regional significance and it is not adjacent to a water body that would allow it to score high enough for a LA WCON grant. The estimated cost to acquire the entire site would be in the neighborhood of 1.5 million dollars, which makes it unfeasible for acquisition from cash park fees, considering other projects that presently have a higher priority: Rice Marsh Lake Neighborhood Park, Cedar Forest Neighborhood Park and access to Smetana Lake. If the City were to take land in lieu of park fees, the City could preserve approximately 4 acres of this woods; however, staff believe that the most effective method for preserving the character of that woods in that part of Eden Prairie is to control the development of the woods very carefully by requiring large lots and careful placement of streets and homes. If the developer is able to preserve 70% of the significant trees in that woods, the character of the woods will certain 1 y remain. Obviously, the existing eco system will be radically al tered; however, that could only remain unchanged if the City were able to acquire the entire site. The parks, recreation and natural resources staff had always anticipated that this site would be a prime site for requiring R 1-44 zoning, as we did not believe that any development within this mature woods could occur within our goal of 30% maximum tree loss without at least one acre lots. The parks, recreation and natural resources staff concur with the Planning Staff Report that Big Woods Remnant July 17, 1992 Page 2 the Fairfield West proposal should be approved utilizing all of the development controls recommended in the July 10th Planning Commission Staff Report to minimize tree loss. This development will be a "test case" to determine if in fact developers are able to protect as many trees as they believe they can in a mature woods. Although, the City has had some development in hardwood forests such as the Basswoods area on the west shore of Anderson Lakes and the Forest Hills area in north central Eden Prairie. These developments occurred before the City required a tree inventory, therefore, there is no record of what percent of trees were lost in those developments. Since the City has required a tree inventory, the City has been relatively successful in keeping tree loss in our developments below a 30% goal. City staff will be monitoring this development project very closely during construction and for a minimum of three years after development to determine actual tree loss to determine whether or not the remaining portion of that unique woods can be developed on lots of the size proposed by Fairfield West or if larger lots should be required.

( ( ( ( STAFF REPORT FAffiFIELD 'VEST JULY 10, 1992 BACKGROUND This is a continued item from the June 22nd Planning Commission Meeting. The Planning Commission continued the item to allow for plan changes regarding the following issues: 1. Tree Loss. 2. Location of Scenic Heights Road. 3. Park Access Across Scenic Heights Road and 212 to Miller Park. Tree loss has been reduced to 29 % but is predicated upon a Tree Preservation and Management Program which will be discussed in detail in the Tree Loss Section. Staff believes that this preservation program can work with modification. City Staff met with the Minnesota Department of Transportation to finalize the location of Scenic Heights Road relative to Highway 212. It was determined that Scenic Heights Road right-of-way can remain in the location as shown on the preliminary plat. Park access to Miller Park has been resolved with a change in the preliminary plat changing New Market Drive to a cul-de-sac. This cul-de-sac gives the City and the Highway Department greater flexibility for the location of the park access road. The cul-de-sac will be longer than the SOO foot maximum allowed by City code, however, Staff believes there are circumstances which warrant this which will be discussed in a later section. PRELIMINARY PLAT The preliminary plat previously reviewed by the Planning Commission at the June 22nd meeting depicted 41 lots. Because of the revision for a cul-de-sac at New Market Drive, one lot was taken out of the subdivision. The density of the proposed subdivision based on 23.S acres is 1.70 units per acre. The guide plan would allow up to 2.S units per acre. All of the lots in the subdivision meet the minimum requirements of the RI-13.S Zoning District for lot size, lot depth and street frontage. Lot 13, Block 2 does not meet the minimum ISO foot lot depth adjacent to the Hennepin County Light Rail Authority Line. Because of the chancre . ~ from a through street to a cul-de-sac, It was not possible to meet the ISO foot minimum depth for this lot. The cul-de-sac could be shifted towards the northwest to provide additional setback from the railroad corridor, however, it would provide less lot depth adjacent to Scenic Heights Road and 212. Staff feels it is more important to provide a greater setback adjacent to Scenic • • • • • • (C ( ( STAFF REPORT FAIRFIELD 'VEST JULy 10, 1992 Heights Road and 212. The tree replacement depicts trees along the Hennepin County Rail Authority corridor as a mitigation for the lesser setback. The City code has a maximum cul-de-sac length of 500 feet. The cul-de-sac as proposed would be 1000 feet long. The City and the proponent have examined the possibility of extending Derby Court back to Candlewood Parkway, however, it would result in greater tree loss and make it difficult to provide for the required ponding necessary for wetland mitigation. In addition, the cul-de-sac on New Market Drive would direct traffic from Miller Park to Candlewood Parkway which is designed to handle additional traffic. This would keep traffic off a local residential street. For all of these reasons, Staff believes that the PUD Waiver for a longer cul-de-sac has merit. GRADING This site is relatively level, and initial grading would only be for Candlewood Parkway and New Market Drive. In the open areas of the site there would be additional grading necessary to construct ponding areas as mitigation for wetland encroachment. The wetland inventory which has been approved by the Watershed District indicates a number of wetland areas on the property. Prior to final plat approval and grading permit issuance, the Watershed District will have to approve the final wetland mitigation plan. TREE LOSS The previous Staff Report indicated that Tree Loss was 41 %. Additional information has been provided which depicts specific house plans on specific locations which reduces tree loss to 29 %. In order to achieve a 29 % tree loss, the plan relies heavily on the protection of significant trees within the front or side yard. There are 65 (on average 16" diameter) trees within the front or side yards of the wooded lots in this project. If the construction limits are not properly staked, if different size houses are built or if building materials and trucks are parked under the tree, tree loss could be as high as 46 % . Preservation of the trees in the front yard relies upon a tree preservation program that is based on education and monitoring by the developer. Some of the drawbacks of this program may be: 1. No legal deed restriction is proposed which would guarantee that a home would be built according to the approved plan. City experience has shown that homes are frequently built differing from the development plan. Historically, the City has required larger lots and larger grading limits to allow for flexibility. The plan as proposed is building type specific to a lot . : . .. ( ( ( ( STAFF REPORT FAIRFIELD 'VEST JULY 10, 1992 2. There is no guarantee that Centex would not sell the custom lots to other builders who may choose to build larger houses. 3. Centex could drop the tree preservation monitoring program if it proved costly or difficult to enforce. 4. There are no legal means proposed which would prohibit homeowners from cutting additional trees on the property. 5. There is no penalty imposed by the developer for noncompliance with the plan. The Tree Preservation Program could be more effective in keeping tree loss to 29 % with the following additions: 1. 2. A scenic conservation easement or restrictive covenant should be required at a distance of 25 feet-from the back of each house on a wooded lot. This will preserve trees in the rear yards and would allow for deck or three season porch expansion. Snow fencing the greatest area possible according to the attached grading limit plan. If Centex maintains that they can build a site specific plan, then the location of the snow fencing should not be a problem. 3. Designate on the plan where trucks can park on each lot. 4. Designate on the plan where building materials can be stored on each lot. 5. Designate on the plan where waste materials can be stored on each lot. 6. Require that the Certificate of Survey provided at the time of building permit issuance clearly indicates existing and proposed grades, type of home to be built, detailed tree inventory, erosion control and construction fencing plan, location of dumpster, location of materials, and location of construction of equipment. 7.

Sewer is available to this property by connecting to the Red Rock Interceptor which is located approximately 300 feet north of this project. Storm water runoff is proposed to be drained into collection ponds adjacent to Scenic Heights Road. When Scenic Heights Road is built on the north side of this project, these ponds will be connected into Scenic Heights Road storm sewer system. SIDE\VALKS AND TRAILS Since Candlewood Parkway is a local residential collector, there will be a 8 foot wide bituminous trail on one side of the Parkway and a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk on the other side of the Parkway. TREE LOSS AND TREE REPLACEMENT There are 6,435 inches of significant trees on the property, mostly Basswood and Linden. The average tree diameter inch is 16 inches. The Tree Loss Plan indicates a total of a 29% tree loss or 1890 inches. Tree replacement would be 729 caliper inches. The landscape plan as proposed depicts 361 inches. The proponent is asking for an overage credit from the Fairfield Project to the east of this subdivision. The City in the past has considered tree replacement within a larger PUD area when it is not possible to replace all of the trees within a smaller portion of the project. The tree replacement plan should be modified to consider some tree replacement within the front yards as it can be anticipated that some trees would be lost due to construction. CONCLUSION The Planning Commission's decision on the proposed Fairfield subdivision is predicated upon if there are good reasons to substantiate the requested Waiver for cul-de-sac length and lot depth, and if the Tree Preservation/Management Program as proposed is an acceptable alternative way of keeping tree loss to 29 %. If the answer to both of these questions is yes, then the Commission should stipulate that the plans be approved subject to revising the preliminary plat for a cul-de-sac in the northeast corner, and with amendments to the tree management program as suggested by City Staff in the Tree Loss section. If the answer to these questions is no, then the Planning Commission should direct the proponent to revise the plans to be in compliance with City Code for cul-de-sac length and lot depth, and to provide for larger lot sizes in the wooded areas . \OBG .. .. .

Tree Loss and Effect on Balance of the Property to South (owned by Tandem) 2. Location of Scenic Heights Road 3. Park Access Across Scenic Heights Road and 212 to Miller Park TREE LOSS Tree loss as proposed in the Fairfield West Subdivision is 41 %. This compares to the average tree loss in the City at 26%. The memo (attachment A) on the tree policy and tree ordinance gives a historical perspective on how the ordinance was put together and how effective the tree ordinance is in reducing tree loss. The memo also suggests that the appropriate lot size in wooded areas should be the R1-44 district where the property is steeply sloped. The memo also suggests that it may be possible on flat sites in wooded areas that a smaller lot but wide and deep could preserve up to 75 % of the significant trees on the property . Since the Fairfield West project is at the fringe of what is referred to as lithe big woods II adjacent and southwest of this project, a decision on an appropriate lot size to preserve 75 % of the trees will have a definite impact on how the balance of the land in the woods develops. This large wooded area including Fairfield West would be a prime candidate for a Planned Unit Development. The benefits of planning roads and a lotting pattern over a larger area could be better tree preservation. At the same time it would allow the City flexibility in zoning requirements. For example, lot sizes could be relaxed in the open areas in exchange for larger lots in the woods~ This is an example of density transfer to preserve natural features. LOCATION OF SCENIC HEIGHTS ROAD The City and the proponents are working with Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch, Inc. Engineers to determine the exact location of Scenic Heights Road in relationship to the Fairfield West project and Highway 212. Based upon preliminary information available, the alignment of Scenic Heights Road is further north than what is shown on the preliminary plat. Once the center line of Scenic Heights Road is determined by Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch, Inc. Engineers, then the Fairfield West project can be modified accordingly. PARK ACCESS TO l\flLLER PARK Miller Park is located directly north of this project on the other side of Scenic Heights Road and 2 IOyO I. ( ( Highway 212 (a Miller Park plan presentation board will be available at the Planning • Commission Meeting.) The Highway 212 plans contemplate an overpass from Scenic Heights Road into Miller Park. The location of this bridge crossing has an impact on the Fairfield West project. Based upon the current alignment of the bridge, it intersects Scenic Heights Road between New Market Drive and the Hennepin County Light Rail Authority right-of-way. Since the spacing between the intersections is too close, streets in the subdivision will have to be modified to either align New Market Drive directly opposite the bridge crossing or a minimum of 300 feet apart. If this is not possible, the internal road system may have to loop back to Candlewood Road. (See attachment B.) RECOl'vIMENDATION After discussion of the above issues, the Planning Commission should consider continuing the item to allow the proponent and the City Staff to work on d~velopment issues and return within 30 days with the detailed Staff Report with recommendations. 3 • • • HISTORY OF THE TREE POLICY Al'ID TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE BACKGROUND • • At a July 15, 1986 City Council Meeting, the Staff was directed to develop tools which would help prevent the destruction of significant natural features with land development proposals. Initially, Staff identified wetlands, significant hills and slopes, and forest, as the three natural resources most often affected by development. Since the majority of development proposals at that time affected wooded areas, Staff focused on developing a comprehensive and objective method to evaluate a development impact on trees, ways developers could reduce the impact, and tools for mitigation when trees were removed. The outcome of this was the Tree Preservation Policy which set quantifiable standards designed to assure consistency of review from project to project. Until the adoption of the 1986 Tree Policy, Eden Prairie had a policy of 100% replacement of trees for all land uses with the exception of single family residential. The 1986 policy allows a percentage of removed trees to be replaced on a proportional basis up to 75 % removal at which point the required tree replacement is 100%. The purpose of the sliding scale was to recognize the development taking place in wooded areas will involve tree removal and that the amount of tree removal determines how the site is impacted. The policy was designed to provide an incentive to land use and site design which preserves the maximum number of trees by rewarding less tree removal with less replacement. The City used the Tree Replacement Policy to preserve more trees on residential and commercial subdivisions in the community. The practical experience gained in review approximately 50 residential projects allowed the City Staff to work with the Council, Commissioners and developers to make changes before the tree ordinance (attached) was adopted in 1990. HOW EFFECTIVE '.tV AS THE TREE POLICY AND HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE CURRENT ORDINANCE There is little difference between the policy and the ordinance. Staff estimates that prior to these documents, tree loss averaged about 50%. Since then the average tree loss on 50 projects is about 26 % . The tree inventory is essential up front information that has allowed the City and developers to design subdivisions to help keep roads and building pads away from the wooded areas. WHAT ARE LOT SIZES IN WOODED AREAS? To get an idea of the lot sizes approved in wooded areas, Staff selected 9 projects and compared them with the Fairfield West subdivision to be reviewed on June 22nd. The chart on the following page compares lot size, lot width and lot depth. 4 Attachment A ( ( '>sUaDIVIsroN ..••........ . .... ; ... :::.::<.:-:;:::::.:: ......... I····VERAGE '. AVERAGE .'

Amended tree loss _. G-R: Gently Rolling The following are general observations about development and wooded areas of the 10 projects surveyed in detail. 1. Although the Fairfield project was approved at 31 % tree loss, site inspection indicates a 37% tree loss or a 16% increase. Within the Fairfield subdivision, although the average lot depth is 160 feet, the lots that preserve the greatest number of trees were lot depths over 200 feet. 2. The Jamestown project was approved at a 31 % tree loss. The greatest number of trees estimated to be preserved are on lots averaging 23,000 square feet, 110 feet of lot frontage and 200 feet of lot depth. (No homes have been built on the wooded lots.) 3. Tree loss increases generally as lot sizes get smaller. Blossom Ridge had a 49.2% tree loss. Lot sizes averaged 14,000 square feet. 5 1 (\U~ IV IJ • .. • • • 4 . ( ( Lot sizes, lot width and lot depth in projects increase as topography gets steeper in order to preserve more trees. The Timber Bluffs project had the most steeply sloped property and the lot sizes were the largest at 82,764 sq. ft. Boulder Point, Shores of Mitchell Lake and Bell Oaks had moderately steep slopes and the lot sizes were smaller averaging approximately 36,000 sq. ft. Tree loss average 22 % for these three projects. 5. The Bluestem Hills tree loss at 21 % is somewhat misleading. The lots are not large or deep, however, there is a conservancy area which adds approximately 100 feet of distance between rear lot lines and Purgatory Creek within which the majority of trees are preserved. WHAT IS AN APPROPRIATE LOT SIZE IN A WOODED AREA ACCORDING TO CITY CODE? The Rl-44 District is the appropriate district for development within wooded areas. According to ordinance, vegetation is best preserved through large lot development. The RI-44 District, because of the size of the lot, should be able to preserve 75 % of the significant trees and tree mass. CAN LOTS LESS THAN ONE ACRE IN SIZE STILL PRESERVE 75% OF THE TREES? The survey suggests that with wide and deep lots (Shore of Mitchell Lake, Bell Oaks, and Boulder Pointe) that 78 % of the trees can be preserved. . It may also be possible to preserve 75 % of the trees on a smaller lot if the following conditions exist. Flat to gently rolling topography. Initial site grading is confined to street and road right-of-way. (no grading on lots required to build the road) Homes can be built on lots without extensive grading and use of retaining walls. Lot width minimum of 120 feet. Lot depth minimum of 200 feet. Minimum lot size of 22,000 square feet. Maximum home size is width x depth. Restrictions on construction on balance of lot, i.e. swimming pools/tennis courts. HAS THE CITY APPROVED SMALLER BUT WIDE AND DEEP LOTS IN WOODED AREAS? Jamestown is the only project approved with smaller but wide and deep lots in a wooded area. However, the site is flat, grading was confined to the road only and each lot is to be custom graded. Minimizing tree loss is possible with greater setbacks between houses and deep rear yards beyond the construction limits of the house. No homes have been built in Jamestown to 6 lOLly • J ,. f support this theory, however experience has shown that 14,000 square foot lot sizes have not preserved 75 % of the trees and one acre lots have. HO\V DOES FAIRFIELD WEST COMPARE ,VITIl TREE LOSS AND LOT SIZE? The Fairfield West project as proposed is a 41 % tree loss within the wooded area. This is the higher than the average tree loss of 26%. The Fairfield West project has 21 wooded lots with an average lot size of 18,000 sq. ft., average lot width of 112 feet and an average lot depth of 165 feet. The lots which save the most trees are a 22,000 sq. ft., and 210 ft. of lot depth. HO\V CAN TIlE FAIRFIELD WEST SUBDIVISION BE CHANGED TO PRESERVE 75% OF TIlE TREES? If the Fairfield West subdivision as proposed can preserve 41 % of the trees, a deeper and larger lot should be able to preserve more trees. The Bell Oaks project (42,000 sq. ft. lot size), Boulder Pointe (34,000 square foot lot size) and Shores of Mitchell Lake (32,000 sq. ft.lot size, but not built yet) with depths between 250 and 275 ft. averaged 22 % tree loss. Since Fairfield West is a flat site like Jamestown, it may be possible that smaller lots could preserve 75 % of the significant trees and tree mass. The lot sizes within the wooded area should be a minimum of 22,000 square feet, 120 feet at the street frontage and a 200 foot lot depth. As topography steepens, lot sizes should increase accordingly. A deeper lot could preserve trees in the rear yard (by conservancy easement). TREE.MDF 7 • • • .' ......

Preliminary Plat of 23.5 acres into 41 lots, 2 outlots and road right-of-way. Location: West of Fairtleld, south of Scenic Heights Road/Highway #212. (Ordinance No. 29-92 -Zoning District Change from Rural to Rl-13.5; and Resolution No. 92-167 -Preliminary Plat) Dan Blake, Centex Homes, reviewed the detailed plans for the property, addressing the major concern of tree loss and the preservation of the 35-acre remnant of the "big woods," a heavily forested :t along the western portion of the propeny. Blake explained the detailed and customized gnding building site management techniques proposed, which would keep tree loss to a maximum of 29 ,0. He noted that construction of the rights-of-way through the property would account for 18 % tree loss . , and that home construction would be responsIble for the remaining nine percent. \ol(i . '" .. ' City Council Minutes ( 5 August 4, 1992 • • • Enger reported that the Planning Commission considered this project at its June 22nd and July 23rd meetings, and recommended approval at the latter meeting. Lambert reported that L'1e Parks, Recr~tion & Natur.:t.l Resources Commission discussed the project on July 20th, and on a split vote, continued the item to August 17th, with the request that Council delay action until after that meeting. The purpose of the August meeting would be to look at costs of acquisition and funding opportunities available for preservation of the "big woods. " Councilmembers asked questions about the potential tree loss when compared to the standards of the Tree Preservation Code requirements; how larger lots may effect the tree loss; the quality of the trees and the overall woods; the desirability of purchasing all, or a part of the overall 35 acres of woods; the cost of such a purchase; funding opportunities available for such a purchase; whether there were other ar~s of "big woods" in Eden Prairie; whether it would be advisable to obtain at least a portion of the wooded area via park dedication of ten percent of the property to the City, instead of fees in lieu of dedication; and whether covenants or restrictions could be placed on the property regarding allowable uses. Enger responded that the requirements of the City Code would allow for 25 % -30% tree loss for the project; without the special protection proposed by Centex, however, tree loss would be closer to 46 % • Enger said it was not clear whether larger lots would mean preservation of more trees since larger lots often m~t larger homes and more amenities, like swimming pools or tennis courts, which would also cause removal of trees. Lambert explained that this wooded area had been graded as a C +-quality by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources since the eastern portion of the woods had been partially logged. The remainder of the woods was in good condition. He explained that the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission considered this a unique property which should be purchased, if at all possible. The purchase price was approximately $2,000,000, plus levied assessments. However, funding opportunities from other agencies or from state or feder...l government sources was considered virtually non-existent. Lambert said there were other areas of the City with "big woods" including ar~ around Riley Lake, along the Minnesota River Bluff, and within the proposed Marsh Creek development in west-central Eden Prairie. Pauly explained that the City always had the option to request ten percent of the land for park dedication instead of fees in lieu of dedication. He said the City could also place covenants and restrictions as to use of the land by future owners. It was suggested that the developer prepare at least two alternative plans showing what the development would be like if ten percent of the land was set aside for park dedication. Discussion continu~d regarding the possibility of purchasing only that part of the "big woods" that had not been logged which was outside of the proposed development, and the opportunity to study the tree preservation techniques proposed by the developer as to how. ~ell the techniques would preserve more trees in such a densely wooded area. If successful, the techniques could be employed in other similar areas of the community. Councilmembers acknowledged that the City had made decisions affecting this property, such as levying assessments on the land, which implied that the property was intended for development and, therefore, preservation or purchase as a park area was even less viable as an option for the end use r:ty Council Minutes 6 ( Aug~st 4, 1992 of the land. Coundlmembers concurred that the natural resources of the propeny should be protect. and managed, however. Debbie Fr.sted, 172~7 Terrey Pine Drive, asked on beh:::tlf of her sen, if the prop! .. ~ cculd be developed as a camp ground to allow for public access to the woods. Jesse:l ncted that such developme:lt would not save ne:lIly as many trees. Jim Ostenson, represe:lting Tandem Properties, owner of the property, enumented the public decisions that impacted this wooded area, including :::tlignme:lt of Highway #212, Dell Road, and Scenic Heights Road, as well as development of stonn water holding pond for Highway #5 reconstructicn in the area. In response to the request of the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission for continuation of the Council action, Ostenson stated that it would mean the development would have to wait until 1993, because it would be too late to start this Ye:lI. 1\IOTION: Pidccc!( moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue the hea.ring pending results of the August 17th Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources public meeting regarding the wooded are:J. of the propeny. l\-Iotion failed on a vote of 2 - 3 -0 (Harris, Jessen, and Tenpas, ag:lin.st) Councilmembers discussed options for action on the development proposal, with the majority agreeing that the Parks, Recreation, and Natur.:tl.

Location: West r- Fairtield, south of Scenic Heights Road/Highway No. 212. (Ordinance No. 29-92 -Zoning DistriL. Change from Rural to Rl-13.5; and Resolution No. 92-167 -Preliminary Plat) Continued from August 4, 1992 This item was continued from August 4th to allow time for the P::trks, Recreation & Natur::U Resources Commission to hold a Public Meeting reg:rrding the "big woods" on August 17th. L1mbe~ reported that, at its meeting following the tour, the Commission voted to recommend deni:li of the Fairfield project and further recommended the City purchase all the property owned by Tandem Corporation through private funding sources by },-Iay 15, 1993. Jim Ostenson, Tandem Properties, owner of the property, presented a revised plan eliminating the seven lots west of Candlewood Parkway, thereby limiting construction to the open area and to the least desirable portion of the "big woods" consisting of about three acres. Ostenson said Tandem arid Centex, the developer, were willing to proceed with this revised development, only, for now. Tandem would then withhold the rest of their property from development for a period of time to allow an opportunity to explore options to purchase the balance of the property. He explained that Tandem did not own all of the "big woods" and showed the location of the other parcels, noting the owners involved. He added that the Tandem land was valued between $2.4 million to $3.5 million, in addition to which there were substantial special assessments existing on the property that would also need to be paid. Art Weeks, Chair of Heritage Preservation Commission, reported that the Commission· had participated in the tour and concluded there was probable cause to designate this land, or a portion of it, as a heritage preservation site. He explained the process necessary through the State Historical Preservation Office, noting that tree cutting could be precluded in designated areas; however, it would not preclude development altogether. Weeks was unsure whether such a designation would be considered a "taking" as was determined in a recently decided court case based on a similarly _ designated parcel of land. Councilmembers raised questions regarding availability of funding sources; whether other such sites existed in Eden Prairie; how many sites existed in the State of Minnesota; the amount of tree loss from the revised plan; and timing issues involving the requested Environmental Assessment \Vorksheet (EAW). Lambert said that, for fifteen years, he had been monitoring grants and donations hoping to purchase the "big woods." He said the major difficulty had been that the site was not considered to be of regional significance; therefore, funding was limited or non-existent. He added that, while other sites existed in the City, none were of this size. Lambert explained that Kurt Rusterholtz, the Forest Ecologist who accompanied the group on the tour of. the woods, had told the group there were originally about 3,400 square miles of "big woods" in :Minnesota, but currently there were about 3,400 acres remaining. 1-Iost of the stands of "bie-woods" ranging from 10 to 600 acres, were in protected ownership of the State, County, or o~her p~k system. \rY;J Ostenson explained th}t th'l'-'\mount of tree loss exclusive pf p'('~c streets would be reduced approximately 3-4% \.. .1 ~ .... revised proposal, le:lving ant Jdi.o.Jnal 3.5 acres of the woods undeveloped . Pauly explained the timing factors involved with the requested EA W, and acknowle:!ged that stA Statute allowed the City only 120 days from the date of application in which to act on the pre!imin~ . plat before it would be automatically approved. Ostenson s:lid the are:l had alre::ldy be:::l extensively reviewed through a variety of processes, including the Environmental Impact Stateme::t prepared fo" the upgr.lding of Highway No. 212 by the Minnesota Depanment of Transportation; therefore, h_ expected that there may be no flnding of a need for an E.o\. \V. Diane Lvnch and Claire Hilgeman, members of the Parks, Rec:eation and Natnr.J.l Resources Commission, discussed the flndings of the tour held the previous night. Tney related L~e facts given by Rusterholtz, and explained plans to raise money to purchase the woods by impleme:uation of a grass roots fund raising campaign. Councilmembers asked questions about the experience of the Commission with fund r.Using and how this particular parcel of land ranked amongst all other natur.1l resources in the community, such as the Minnesota River Valley. Lynch responded that she was unaware of anyone on the Commission wit.' such fund r.llsing experience but believed the simplicity of raising $42 per person on a one time basis would work. She added that the Commission had not prioritized this natural resource amongst others like the Minnesota River Valley, but she believed it was beca.use the majority of people were unaware of its existence. Lynch emphasized that the request of the Council at this point was for more time to see if raising funds privately was feasible. . . • Jackie McMillan, 7924 Island Road, President of the homeowners' association in this are:l., s:lid she had faxed a petition with 75 signatures to the Environmental Quality Board requesting an EA \Y -be prepared on the property.

BIG WOODS DTSCUSSION -Eden Prairie Land Trust Chuck Wilcox, 16427 S. Manor Road, co-chair for the Eden Prairie Land Trust (EPL1), the organization planning to raise funds for purchase of the "Big Woods," explained the structure of the group. He explained fundraising approaches being considered and reported on progress so far. On behalf of the EPLT, Wilcox expressed concerns including: the· City's enforcement of I replacement policies; potential for setting a precedent of allowing development in the "Big \Voo if the entire proposal was approved; and, a desire to see RI-44 zoning as a minimum for lots loca.te on the fringe of the "Big Woods. " Jim Gilbert, a nature expert, spoke to the advantages of preservation of the Big Woods remnant, noting that, despite the logging and grazing which had taken place in years past, the forest was still dense and offered many educational opportunities. Diane Lynch, representing EPLT, defined the fundraising plans in greater detail, noting that- contributions would be solicited from individuals and corporations, fundraising events would be organized to include benefit concerts and sports clinics, and public funding would be pursued for all available resources, including the potential of forming a partnership with the School Dist.-i.ct. Jim Ostenson, Tandem Properties, owner of the property, reviewed discussions with EPLT regarding the purchase of the "Big Woods" portion of the property. He explained that Tandem offered an option until March 15, 1993, to EPLT, granting an opportunity to purchase the remaining lands owned by Tandem which were loca.ted within the "Big Woods." Ostenson said this would include the northwestern eight (8) lots of the proposed plat loca.ted in the fringe area of the Woods. If the eight (8) lots were purchased by EPLT, then the lots would never be developed. If the lots were not purchased, then the developer would, after March 15, 1993, include the lots within the final phase of the Fairfield West development. Councilmembers asked questions r~gardi?g .the percentage of tree loss with the revised plan; • Candlewood Parkway would be deSIgned In heu of the revised plan; whether a precedent would be set I059j • City Council Minutes ( 4 September 15, 1992 by allowing the majority of the Fairfield West development to be zoned RI-13.5; and, whether other areas of "Big Woods" existed in Eden Prairie . Ostenson stated that tree loss would remain approximately the same with the revised plan, unless, of course, the eight (8) lots on the fringe of the woods in the option offered to EPLT were not developed. He also explained that Candlewood Parkway would be constructed about one-third of its originally proposed length by the revised plan, and then would connect to the east into the remaining portion of the development. Pauly explained that the Council would be able to require RI-44 zoning in the future, regardless of the zoning granted for the majority of the Fairfield \Vest development. He noted that issues related to tree loss could provide a strong influence on such a decision. Lambert reported that he and Kurt Rusterholtz, the Forest Ecologist who initially accompanied the tour of the "Big Woods" of the Fairfield West proposal, had inspected another 40-acre remnant of "Big Woods" growth located approximately one mile south of the Tandem land. Rusterholtz's findings were that the two sites were similar, but that the site funher south had about 10 to 15 acres of higher quality woods, was better drained, and there was a greater variety of flora and fauna present. Lambert added that 20 acres of the more southern site were designated on the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan for preservation within a City park. MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the public hearing. l\tlotion carried unanimously. • (}tIayor Tenpas declared a recess at 9:30 p.m. The meeting resumed at 9:45 p.m.) Council members discussed the need for an EA W with Staff and the proponent. Pauly explained that the proposal would be exempt from EAW requirements if there were less than 40 lots involved. Ostenson stated that Tandem and Centex were further revising the plan at this time to eliminate Lot 2, Block 3 along the west side of the proposed development, in order to allow the development to fall within the exempt category for preparation of an EA W. Enger explained that this meant the - development must remain as a 39-10t development; if not, the addition of another lot would remove the development from the exempt category. MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Jessen, that the City of Eden Prairie finds that the proposed Fairfield West development as currently constituted with 39 lots is exempt from Environmental Assessment Worksheet review process. Motion carried unanimously. Pauly stated that, procedurally, the Council now had on the table its reconsidered motion for the approval of the zoning and platting request from the previous meeting. Harris requested that the two actions be split. The other Councilmembers concurred. l\10TION TO AlVffi'ID: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to amend the requested zonina by • deleting the following lots as depicted in plans dated July 29, 1992: b Lots 1-5, Block 1 Lots 29-33, Block 2 IO~U I ,) . ~ ~ CIty Council Minutes ( 5 September 15, 1992 Lots 1 and 2, Block 3 l'tlotion to amend c:lrried on a vote oC 4-1-0 (Anderson against) • Tne main motion on the zoning request, as ame:1ded, was the:1 considered by the C01!C~J. l'tIOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock to adopt 1st Re:l.ding of Ordinan~ No. 29-92, Zoning District change from Rural to Rl-13.5 for Fairfield West, as amended by Council moticn, deleting the following lots as depicted in plans dated July 29, 1992: Lots 1-5, Bloc!<: 1 Lots 29-33, Block 2 Lots 1 and 2, Block 3. Tnrough discussion, Council members clarified that it was their intention that the eight (3) lots within the option agreement between Tandem and EPLT remain Rural until EPL T purchased the !Qts, or until the March 15, 1993, at which time the proponent may renew the request. l'rlotion c:lrried on a 4-1-0 vote, with Anderson voting against. Anderson stated his belief that the Rl-44 zoning district would be appropriate for are:IS such as this in order to preserve and protect natural resources. He suggested that the developers agTeement be cle:l.I" about rest.---ictive covenants prohibiting tree cutting on the lots by future residents. Enger noted that it was one of the conditions of approval from the Staff Report. • Councilmembers commended both the EPL T and the developer for working out a win-win situation with cre:l.tivity and cooperation, resulting in an positive outcome for the City overall. It was suggested that the group may have other opportunities in the future for preservation of various natural resources which deserved protection, but for which there were no City funds available. l'rIOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to approve the preliminary plat for Fairfie!d West, deleting the following lots as depicted in plans dated July 29, 1992: Lots 1-5, Bloc!<: 1 Lots 29-33, Block 2 Lots 1 and 2, Block 3. l'rlotion c:lrried on a 4-1-0 vote with Anderson voting against. l'tIOTION: Jessen moved, seconded by Harris, to direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating applicable Commission and Staff recommendations and Council conditions. n.'1otion c:lrried unanimously. • \D66 (~ 0-~\ r;;;- ~ ~ city council 1st Reading -8-4-92: l'vIOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue the hearing pending results of the August 17th Parks~ Recreation, and Natural Resources public meeting regarding the wooded area of the property. 1\lotion failed on a vote of 2 - 3 -0 (lIarris, Jessen, and Tenpas, against) Councilmembers discussed options for action on the development proposal, with the majority agreeing that the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission should hold its meeting August 17th, with recommendations to be forwarded to the City Council by its August 18th meeting in order to avoid unnecessary delay the developer. l'vIOTION: Jessen moved, seconded by Harris, to continue the public hearing to August 18th. l'vIotion carried unanimollsly.

Dan Blake, representing Centex Homes, stated that 3 main issues remained from the last meeting. The location of Scenic Heights Road would remain in the same location as the original proposal. The plan was redesigned to create a cul-de-sac which would result in the elimination of 1 lot. A specific outline of a tree preservation plan had been submitted to Staff. Blake stated that the proponent agreed with the Staff recommendation and believed that the tree loss could be maintained at the 29 % level. Blake said that the proponent did not want to get too restrictive related to the Scenic Conservation Easement. The proponent intended to install snow fencing along all of the right-of-ways but would like some latitude and not be required to exactly pinpoint each location. The proponent would like to be allowed to make some judgement calls on the site. The tree consultant would come out to the site when the homes were staked out. The tree consultant would meet at that time with the homeowner, a Centex representative, and the excavator. Blake stated that the proponent was committed to the tree preservation concepts but did not want /".n to be too restrictive. The propo/ was concerned about the security deposit believing \.1<1t this was extremely high and would'tlke to be allowed to work with Staff to negotiate a more reasonable figure. Blake noted that the proponent was willing to take the extra effort up front to assure the preservation of the trees. • Franzen reported that Staff recommended approval based exactly as outlined in the Staff Report. He added that the best way to preserve trees is still larger lots, but could live with the tree management program if implemented exactly as modified by staff. Norman asked if the proponent would determine the location of stored materials and where the trucks would park on each individual site. Blake replied that the driveways would be utilized as much as possible. Norman questioned if 100 square feet would be enough for material storage. Scoot Wallace, 12465 Sunnybrook Road, read into the record a letter which he had written regarding the woods on this property and concerns for preservation. Wallace noted that "The Big Woods" would have a "B" rating from the DNR. Wallace showed the commissioners a topographical map depicting the forest area remaining in Eden Prairie. Wallace questioned what natural feature would actually be preserved. He noted that Marsh Creek Golf Course was also proposed to develop in this area. Franzen stated that Eden Prairie did have an Environmental Ordinance to deal with the protection of natural features. If the plan had a projected tree loss greater than 35 % the City would have required the developer to return with another plan. The proponent is being required to keep the tree loss to a minimum. Franzen said that it would be nice if all of the natural area like "The Big Woods" could be preserved. Franzen noted that prior· to the development of tl. Tree Preservation Ordinance projects had a tree loss of approximately 50% and now the tree 10 had been reduced to an average of 26 % .Hawkins asked how larger "The Big \Voods" was. Wallace replied approximately 35 acres. Norman asked what portion of the 35 acres was part of this project. Blake replied approximately 5 acres. Wallace noted that Tandem Corporation owned more land which was part of "The Big Woods" which was not part of this project. Wissner believed that Centex Homes was taking positive steps to preserve the trees; however, she agreed with Wallace that the City did need to think of the future. Jim Os .... nson, the proponent, stated that he had had a long relationship with Centex Homes and he himSelf had headed the Developer's Committee which had developed the tree replacement policy. Ostenson said that a lot of time had been spent on looking at ways to save more trees and noted that just to construct the roads there would be approximately 18 to 20 % tree loss. Ostenson said that he had spoken to the City at one time about the City purchasing the forest . area; however, funds were not available. Ostenson believed that Centex Homes was the best builder to preserve the trees. Ostenson added that Highway 212 would also encroach on "The Big Woods". Wissner believed that this project would be the test market for further development in this area . • \oi)9 • • • Franzen stated (. this project was on the fringe of C woood and if it doesn't work out as planned the City would not allow another development to proceed with the same techniques. Wallace questioned if Rl-44 zoning would help to preserve more trees with the 1 acre lot requirement. Franzen replied that Rl-44 zoning was approved on a case by case basis. Norman believed that the proponent was committed to the preservation of the trees. Franzen stated that if the Planning Commission was concerned about the wooded area, it could approve a preliminary plan and only final plat a few lots. If Centex did a poor tree presentation job in the first phase, the lots in the woods in the second phase would have to be larger. The development in the wooded area could be phased. Kardell was concerned about the amount of time that platting process would put on Staff and believed that the proponent was committed to the preservation. She believed that the plan deserved a chance and would recommend that the proposal be approved as outlined in the Staff Report. Wissner stated that she was more comfortable with there only being 1 builder involved. Hawkins believed that because this area was land locked it was virtually an unknown treasure to most residents. The awareness of the woods is largely do to the proposed development. Hawkins asked how serious the conversations with the City were regarding the purchase of the property. Ostenson replied that funds were not available. Clinton believed that it was important for the larger wooded areas in the City to be preserved . Norman believed that it was important for the City to do what it can to protect this area from being clear cut. Hawkins believed that it should be pursued further to have the City try to preserve even a small portion for trails or a park area. Norman agreed. Franzen asked the Commission if it was comfortable with the plan as proposed if the City was _ not in a position to purchase "The Big Woods", or did they want to see larger lots. Hawkins believed that the Rl-44 theory could be an interesting compromise. Ostenson stated that the assessments on this property were high. Ostenson felt that their efforts for preservation in the past had been completely brushed aside. Ostenson added that he understood the impact of this development. \Vallace stated that he had spoken with Tim Larson from the State and had found out that there are many funds available for acquisition and the cost would not necessarily have to fall completely on Eden Prairie. Norman asked Wallace if he was comfortable with the perimeter of the property developing. Wallace believed that it was expected that the perimeter would develop . r-(" Kardell believed'tnat a unique proposal had been developed" [0 preserve the front and side yards. There was pressure for development in this area and believed this proposal to be a good testing tool for the City on a small scale. • Hawkins believed that both Centex Homes and Fairfield Development had been innovative in their concepts and would support the proposal as presented. Hawkins further believed that the City should investigate the possibility of getting funding for preserving the remaining area. Norman concurred that the City should strongly look into funding to preserve a portion of the wooded area. MOTION 1: Hawkins moved, seconded by Wissner to close the public hearing.

Tom Boyce/President of Centex Homes gave a brief history of Centex homes and stated that although they are a large corporation, they operate more like a local homebuilder. He stated that Fairfield West will be a smaller development than those usually built by Centex. Dan Blake, Development Manager made a slide presentation of the site and addressed the planned locations of the 41 lots on 23.5 acres. The new development will be tied in with Fairfield with an at-grade crossing at Hennepin County Corridor. Hawkins asked if the developer would bear the cost of safety measures regarding the rail crossing. The developer indicated that the Light Rail Authority would determine the safety measures but didn't know who would pay for them. Blake detailed how trees would be preserved at the site by: restricted house widths and depths, retaining walls and root pruning, gentle grading and fencing during construction. Al Wilson/ Arborist with Rainbow Tree Care spoke briefly about tree preservation and stated that Centex is the first developer to approach tree preservation for each site within a developmee Blake stated for the record that 18 % of the 29 % target tree loss is to build the road with sidewalk and bituminous trail, thus indicating the extreme care the developers have in mind"" Franzen stated that this is one of two large wooded areas left within the City of Eden Prairie. The staff wants some "houses in the woods" rather than "more houses than woods" on the propeny. He also stated that the tree ordinance has been effective in reducing tree loss and that pad depth is pertinent in predicting tree loss for a given development. Determining a proper lot size is the most effective means of minimizing tree loss. The relative "flatness" of the site will also minimize tree loss. Hawkins asked about the contractors Willingness to respect the guidelines set up at the Commission level to protect trees. Boyce stated that all concerned wanted to save trees, and education of the contractors would serve this purpose. Hawkins also commented that he felt the City should not expend any financial resources to police this activity, and that he would like to see a self inspecting mechanism. 5 • • • • .. , -. ( ( Kardell asked if the builder could deviate from the plan as proposed by building larger homes. Kardell also asked if smaller lots could be built in the open area as a tradeoff for larger lots in the woods. Boyce answered that because the developer is the builder, they can guarantee that the home sizes will remain the same as now proposed. Public Hearing No citizens were present to comment on the proposal. Bauer moved, seconded by Norman to continue, motion carried 7-0. l\-IOTI0N: Move to continue to the July 27, 1992, Planning Commission Meeting. ( ( April 22, 1993 To: Eden Prairie Planning Commission members From: Betty McMahon, chair/Eden Prairie Land Trust Re: Fairfield West Phase 2/request from Centex Homes The Eden Prairie Land Trust would respectfully ask the Planning Commission to consider several items of information before making a decision on rezoning the 6.76 acres from rural to R-13.5 in the Fairfield West Phase 2 development. Natural Resource Study Committee As you know, this Natural Resource Study Committee has been charged with evaluating the natural spaces in southwestern Eden Prairie, intending to recommend which areas should be preserved, based on a set of criteria now being created by the committee. Up to now, the committee has narrowed the list to seven areas that would be most desirable to acquire. Applying the criteria will narrow the • list to a manageable number the city can afford to acquire. • The Fairfield West Phase 2 development lies in the Mitchell Lake Big Woods, one of the seven areas being considered as highly desirable by the Committee. Since the committee findings will not be available until late summer, we would request the Commission to recommend delay of rezoning until this report is received. Increasing the need to proceed slowly with a rezoning decision is a pending step by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to acquire three of the seven areas the Committee is considering. Removing these three parcels would leave only four in the running as the most desirable parcels and would increase the chances that the city would want to acquire the Mitchell Lake Big Woods. If, meanwhile, development is allowed to proceed, it will greatly compromise the integrity of this eco system. A Rationale for Rezoning to Rl-44 The Eden Prairie Land Trust feels that if rezoning must proceed, this environmentally sensitive maple-basswood area should be zoned R1-44 rather than R1-13.5. Bob Lambert's memo to the city council on July 17, 1992 gives us reason to believe the city initially intended that this area should be zoned R1-44. In a discussion of potential tree loss in this area, the letter states, "The parks, recreation and natural • \ 0 G'S • • • ( ( resources staff had always anticipated that this site would be a prime site for requiring Rl-44 zoning ... " In a memo August 6, 1992, Mr. Lambert states that, "Root damage to trees often takes up to three years to show up ... therefore, staff would be inclined to recommend that additional development in the 'Big Woods' be limited to one acre (Rl-44 district) lots." Michael Franzen, senior planner, wrote in a staff report (June 19, 1992) to the planning commission that he felt the Rl-44 district is the appropriate district for development within wooded areas. Up to now, no development sites in Eden Prairie have been zoned Rl-44. Of all sites brought to the attention of the planning commission, it seems the Big Woods area absolutely meets the criteria for a Rl-44 zoning district. Proposed resol ution(s) We would respectfully request that the Planning Commission consider one of the two resolutions below in its recommendation to the City Council regarding rezoning of the Fairfield West Phase 2 development: 1) Because Eden Prairie has put forth such a major effort to identify.the major natural resources in the city, the Planning Commission recommends that the city council delay rezoning of the Fairfield West Phase 2 development, as requested by Centex Homes, until the evaluation from the Natural Resource Study Committee is completed and recommendations are made. 2) The Planning Commission recomends that the city council rezone lots in the Fairfield West Phase 2 development Rl-44 as the site amply meets all criteria for an area that should be so designated . -= $ RtCr' _ 7TF ( -MEMORANDUM- ( TO: Developme'nt Review Committee Members FROM: Engineering Department DATE: April 12, 1993 SUBJECT: Fairfield West 2nd Addition The following are preliminary comments in review of the development plans for Fairfield West 2nd Addition, dated February 22, 1993 by Westwood Professional Services, proposed by Centex Real Estate Corporation. • The proposed 8" watermain within Candlewood Parkway should be revised to a 6" watermain and the 6" watermain proposed within New Market Drive should be changed to an 8" watermain.

Big Woods Maple-Basswood Forests once covered over 2 million acres in south central Minnesota. Today only a few thousand acres of natural area quality remain. Both Mitchell Lake Woods and Riley Creek Woods are worthy of protection as natural areas. Mitchell Lake Woods occurs on a somewhat moister site and, therefore, differs somewhat in species composition from the Riley Creek site. The Natural Heritage Program has given Mitchell Lake Woods a rank of BC indicating that many of the components of a Big Woods Maple-Basswood Forest remain. The site, however, has experienced a history of disturbance, primarily from logging and Dutch elm disease. Nevertheless, Mitchell Lake Woods is one of the better remaining examples of Big Woods Maple-Basswood Forest in the Twin Cities Area. Much of Riley Creek Woods occurs on a dry mesic site; therefore, oaks, especially red oaks, were probably historically more abundant in this forest than in Mitchell Lake Woods. Portions of Riley Creek Woods contain old -growth red oaks and sugar maples over 130 years old and appear to have experienced relatively little human disturbance in recent years. This site also contains a fair number of structural characteristics of old-growth such as large downed logs and snags. During a brief Natural Heritage Program visit to the site in September it appeared that the lierb layer was relatively diverse. The quality of this forest ranges from B to C, and was given a rank of B overall. We firmly believe that in this instance the ranks of these two sites should not he the only factor used to determine acquisition priorities; other concerns such as citizen interest and rarity of the community type should play an important role in acquisition planning. Both Mitchell Lake Woods and Riley Creek Woods are representative examples of remnant Big Woods Maple- Basswood Forest and as such should be protected and maintained as natural areas.

We find this plan acceptable for development • with consideration of the following comments: • Mn/DOT will provide noise abatement with the construction of new TH 212 to ensure compliance with State Noise Standards. • The City should be aware that the north line of Scenic Heights Road extends 16 to 29 feet into the proposed TH 212 Official Corridor. Coordination should continue to occur between Mn/DOT and the City regarding this issue. • The City should coordinate with Mn/DOT on the plans for the stormwater pond outlet at the NE corner of the plat.

The project site does not contain or appear to involve any public waters or public waters wetlands; therefore, no DNR public waters permit is required. 2. No DNR shoreland or floodplain concerns were noted. 3. It appears that there are wetlands on the site that are not under DNR j ur isdiction. The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers should be consulted regarding pertinent federal regulations for activities in wetlands. In addition, impacts to these wetlands should be evaluated by Riley-purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District in accordance with the Minnesota Wetlands Conservation Act of 1991. 4. Appropriate erosion control measures should be taken during the construction period. The Minnesota Construction Site Erosion and Sediment Control Planning Handbook (Board of Water & Soil Resources and Association of Metropolitan Soil and Water Conservation Districts) guidelines, or their equivalent, should be followed. 5. If construction involves dewatering in excess of 10,000 gallons per day or 1 million gallons per year, a DNR appropriations permit is required.

Franzen, Senior Planner DATE: May 13, 1993 SUBJECT: Sowles Residential Project The Planning Commission reviewed this project at the April 12th and April 26th meetings. At the first meeting the Planning Commission recommended a continuance, giving direction to the Developer to provide a better transition to the north and east, protect the DNR wetland and analyze traffic impacts of the extension of Danton Way to Dell Road. At the April 26th meeting, the Developer submitted revised plans for RI-13.5 Zoning adjacent to the homes on Bainbridge Drive and a conservancy easement around the DNR wetland. The Planning Commission discussed the traffic impacts of the extension of Danton Way to Dell Road and felt that the plan as proposed by the Developer would not create a significant number of cut-through traffic from Dell Road to County Road 4. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the revised plans for 162 single family units and 32 twin home units . 1016 Unapproved Minutes Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Monday, May 3,1993 allowing this experiment to happen and now it seems as though the Commission has possibly changed the experiment by adding a new restriction. Richard has been in favor of developing the old woods RI-44 and feels that 112 to 1 acre lots are fair. B. Sowles Property Penning Cross explained this development is located between Bearpath West and the Fairfield South addition on the East and is 162 single family lots with 32 multi-family lots. Lee Johnson, a representative of Orrin Thompson Homes, explained the 13.5 transition zone. The developer is proposing three zoning classification - R6.5, most of the balance of the property would be R9.5, and R13.5. Brown was concerned about the north lots having been flooded a couple of years ago. The developer is not aware of any flooding. Brown possibly mistook the lots for another location. Richard spoke to a couple of homeowners up in the Fairfield area and expressed concerned about area traffic from the high-density area once developed. Johnson will be addressing the concerns with the City. He does believe that people will use Dell Road to get to and from the area once the development is complete and does not believe there will be a traffic problem for residents in the Fairfield development. Bowman was concerned about the wildlife in the wetland area. Johnson explained that by not making the area a common area and by making the wetland area private ownership under a scenic easement, that it would be the best way to protect the wildlife and wetland area by its limiting use. MOTION: Popovich Lynch moved to approve the development project by Orrin Thompson Homes on the Sowles property according to the Planning Commission's Staff Report dated April 23, 1993 and the supplemental staffreport dated April 30, 1993.

Location: North of Pioneer Trail, East of future Dell Road. 1 ( ( Lee Johnson, representing Orrin Thompson Homes, stated that the property was currently ow~ by Larry and Dan Sowles. The proponent was requesting rezoning to develop 162 single fa~ homes and 32 multi-family homes with a 2.3 unit per acre density. Johnson noted that Outlot A would be deeded to Centex Homes which would provide them with an additional buildable lot. A portion of the Centex Homes wetland area could be used for backyards of the Orrin Thompson Homes. Outlot B could become a buildable lot for Orrin Thompson Homes. Johnson stated that the original farm house and out buildings would be demolished and the Dan Sowles home would remain in place. A deep wooded hole on the site contains a DNR designated wetland. A portion of the wetlands to the west would be deeded to the Bearpath project. The trunk water main and sewer, which is also needed for the Bearpath project, would be available from three locations. Johnson stated that the 1st Phase of the project would be the single family homes adjacent to the Fairfield South project. The wooded are has steep slopes going down to the water. The walkout elevations for the homes on these slopes would match the elevation of the homes on the flat surface. Sandstad asked if the cul-de-sac was a public road to the adjoining cul-de-sac. Johnson replied yes. Johnson reported that the sidewalks would be installed per requirements from the City and 8 foot path would be constructed along Pioneer Trail. The grading for the project would be done to allow for the preservation of as many trees as possible. The tree loss for the project was estimated at approximately 20%. Johnson noted that additional trees would be placed along Dell Road as part of the replacement plan. Johnson stated that the propos-ed house plans were bei~ currently constructed in several other suburbs and selling well. Architectural diversity ~ available with the proposed home designs. Johnson presented a slide presentation of a similar project which was currently under construction in Rosemount. Johnson believed that project. to be well designed and would like to make comments on the Staff Report after Staff and public comments were given. Franzen reported that minor changes needed to be made in the plan details as the project moves forward. The Planning Commission needs to determine if the project should be all RI-9.5 or a mix ofRI-9.5 and RI-13.5. Franzen noted that the Staff recommendations were designed for approval of either a mix or all RI-9.5 lots. Bauer noted that Fairfield South was approved but not built and asked if any homes had been sold adjacent to this proposed development. Dan Blake, representing Centex Homes, stated that none of the homes in Fairfield South had been sold at this time; however, homes in Fairfield North had been sold. Johnson stated that the proponent agreed in general with the landscape recommendations. Johnson noted that 30 feet was provided along Street I. Johnson stated that access would be provided to the N.U.R.P. ponds. The proponent was willing to provide access easements but, would propose that the access easements not be located in the backyards. The proponent 2 • iOZO • • • ( ( proposed to have the wetland outlots be owned by the property owners. Covenants would be provided . Schlampp asked if the DNR had given approval to sell the wetland areas. Franzen replied that a letter had not been received from the DNR at this time. Franzen added that the DNR mainly wants to make sure that the property is maintained. Schlampp asked how deep the slopes were. Johnson replied that the walkouts would be at an 880 elevation. Johnson added that the slopes were 3 to 1. Schlampp asked how drainage would be controlled once the silt fences were removed. Johnson replied that the backyard drainage would be directed to the pond and the front yard drainage would be directed to the street. Schlampp asked if the drainage from the ponds would be by pipe or free flowing. Johnson replied by pipe. Schlampp asked what size of a pipe would be used. Johnson replied that the size of the pipe had not been determined at this time. Johnson added that the drainage would increase approximately 15% and would go through the N.U.R.P. ponds. Johnson further commented that a lift station would be installed for emergencies. Schlampp asked what type of retaining walls would be installed around the existing homes. Schlampp added that no details had been provided. Johnson replied that the retaining walls would be designed in accordance with City Code requirements. Johnson added that they were not at that detailed stage of the planning process yet. Sandstad asked how the trees would be maintained once the homes were sold. Johnson replied that the trees would be protected by covenants. Franzen replied that conservancy easements were used to protect slopes which meant also served to protect the trees because they could not be removed within the easement area. The conservancy easements had become self policing . Wissner asked if a fine was given if trees were removed. Franzen replied that additional tree loss on a project from the homeowners was always anticipated by Staff and is included in the calculation of tree loss. Tree loss is calculated on pad not house size and takes into consideration decks and expansion. Sandstad asked Johnson if the proponent would be comfortable with a conservancy easement. Johnson replied that he did not believe that it was necessary since the proponents protective covenants stated that same thing. Sandstad asked Johnson if he had considered Rl-13.5 lots to the west. Johnson replied that he believed the plan as proposed was a nice development. Johnson added that by reducing the number of lots the remaining lots would cost an additional 2 to 3 %. Johnson also noted that the product being constructed would be the same. Johnson stated that the lots to the west were 130 feet deep and if they had to be 100 feet wide this would result in the lose of 3 to 5 lots. Johnson noted that the homes proposed were 46 feet wide and he could not see this size home on a 100 foot wide lot. Johnson stated that he had not seen values of adjacent properties be lowered by these types of developments in other suburbs. Johnson added that additional landscaping or berming could be used to create the transition. Johnson also noted that a portion of the Fairfield South project was zoned Rl-9.5 . 3 /01/ ( ( Wissner stated that she was not against the R1-9.5 zoning but was concerned about the aestheti .. of abutting to the Fairfield North and South projects. ~ Bauer asked how much flexibility the buyer had to change the floor plan. Johnson replied there was a lot of flexibility. Bauer stated that if even one homeowner had purchased a lot in Fairfield South abutting this property anticipating R1-13.5 zoning there would be no question that it should be zoned R 1-13.5; however, a representative from Centex Homes has stated that none of the lots have been sold. Bauer applauded affordable housing being introduced. Bauer believed that both developers were very reputable and would properly advise potential buyers of the situation. Wissner asked what the price ranges would be for the homes. Johnson replied that the base price would be approximately $110,000. Johnson added that typically no one bought a base price home, there were always additions. Wissner asked what the duplex price ranges would be. Johnson replied the duplex were one-story ramblers ranging in price from $130,000 to $170,000. Michael Beer, 16977 Bainbridge Drive, stated that his lot was approximately 15,000 square feet. He also note that the price range of the homes in the surrounding neighborhood were $225,000 and up. Beer stated that he wanted to see harmonious development. He noted that Centex Homes had design Executive homes to be constructed. Beer did not believe that it would be harmonious form $125,000 homes to be next to $225,000 homes. Beer asked how the construction traffic access would be handled. The neighborhood had many small children and he was concerned for their safety. Johnson replied that construction traffic would not be going through the Bainbridge Drive area. . . Chuck Camp, 16865 Bainbridge Drive, stated that his concerns were the same as those stated , Mr. Beer. Camp was also concerned about the speed of the traffic in general. Camp was concerned that Bainbridge Drive and Candlewood would be used as shortcuts. Bauer replied that the City responded well to these concerns. Sandstad replied that the roads would not be straight and, therefore, believed that speeds would be.reduced. Franzen concurred that until some of the road connections were made that there could be extra traffic in the neighborhoods. Franzen also noted that the construction of the roads would be timed with the construction of the developments. Camp asked what the upper price range would be for the homes. Johnson replied that the upper range would be between $160,000 and $170,000. Schlampp asked Camp what the average price was for a home in his neighborhood. Camp replied $240,000 and up. Bud Baker, 9232 Cedar Forest, asked what the plans were to extend the bituminous trail to Lake Riley. Franzen replied that Bearpath and US Homes would construct a bituminous trail along the north side of Pioneer Trail. Franzen noted that the trail could be completed by the end of this summer. Baker stated that the speed limit on County Road 1 was 55 and asked if there was any.possibility to reduce the speed limit or add a traffic light to slow the traffic down. Franzen 4 • • • • ( ( replied that the City could make a request to the County. Franzen noted that the City had requested and been approved for a signal on the eastern portion of County Road 1. Baker asked when Dell Road would be constructed. Franzen replied that a portion of Dell Road would begin constructed this summer and should be completed within 1 year. Franzen added that a signal would come later; no signal was planned to be installed concurrent with Dell Road. Baker asked what could be done to control the speed of the traffic on Cedar Forest. Baker was concerned that the problem would become worse with the addition of over 150 homes. Franzen replied that Staff could ask the Engineering Department to speak with the County regarding speeds. Baker requested that the City consider initiating contact with the County regarding this matter. Baker asked if there was any plan for a park to service this PUD area. Franzen replied that the only park would be Lake Riley Park for which improvements were being recommended. Franzen added that the next closest park would be Miller Park. Baker asked if there was a park within walking distance. Franzen replied no. Bauer asked if this plan would be reviewed at the Park & Recreation Commission meeting. Franzen replied yes. Bauer recommended that Baker attend the Park & Recreation Commission meeting. Baker stated that he considered Lake Riley Park and Miller Park to be regional parks. Baker was concerned about the possible addition of a significant number of children with no form of recreational facilities available. Eileen Venable, 17349 Bainbridge Drive, believed that their street would become a thoroughfare from the golf course development. Venable also believed that Bainbridge would provide easy access to Dell Road and Scenic Heights Road. Venable asked if there was a way to not make a connection to Danton Way from Dell Road . Maria Ramsay, 17062 Bainbridge Drive, stated a concern about the increase in traffic. Ram~ay believed that the transition lots should be RI-13.5. Ramsay stated that Cedar Ridge School was already over crowded. John Rogers who lived in a home adjacent to Fairfield South asked if the property would be built up or taken down. Johnson replied that a small berm would be constructed. Rogers stated that there would be 3 lots facing his lot. Dan Blake, Centex Homes, stated that he did not have any concerns with the project. Blake would like to see the 2 duplex homes to the southeast be considered for single family homes. Bauer stated that the RI-13.5 transition area was still important; however, the area was a smaller area. Bauer believed that Centex Homes would be responsible to disclose to any potential buyer the proposed zoning. Bauer believe that the northeastern corner of the project needed to be revised. Bauer recommended a continuance to look at the northeast corner and traffic issues. Wissner concurred that the northeast comer needed to be revised. Wissner applauded the development of RI-9.5 lots. Wissner wanted to make this a positive to positive development. 5 1063 ( ( Bauer stated that he was in favor of the project because Rl-9.5 development was being used ~ originally intended. Bauer stated that approximately 10 lots needed to be reviewed. • Johnson stated that he was willing to go along with Rl-13.5 zoning on the perimeter of the northeast comer. Johnson believed that the proposed accesses would be a plus for the existing neighborhood. Johnson added that it was always planned that Hanover Lane would be a through street. Johnson stated that he would like to keep the project moving. Bauer stated that he needed to see how the Rl-13.5 lots would look in the northeast comer. Schlampp stated that he was uncomfortable with Rl-9.5 lots abutting RI-13.5 lots. Schlampp believed that the transition was too abrupt as well as the whole eastern border. Scblampp stated that he would like to see more information from the DNR regarding the wetlands and the increased run-off. Schlampp requested information regarding what damage could be created from additional drainage and how the drainage would be controlled. Schlampp believed that the level of the wetlands would change and asked at what level they would be maintained. Schlampp believed that the DNR needed to sign-off on the project. Wissner asked what would happen if the DNR would not sign-off on the project. Schlampp replied that he was not sure. Schlampp added that he questioned who would maintain the wetlands. Clinton applauded the developer for the development of moderately priced homes. Clinton concurred that the transition for the northeastern comer needed to be addressed, the wetl~ issues resolved, a traffic study done. Clinton believed that it was important to pay attention~ traffic safety issues. Gualtieri concurred that children without a park near could create a problem. Sandstad believed that a review of the connection of Danton Way to Dell Road should be reviewed further. Bauer believed that the Commission was still unclear in a direction on the eastern boundary. Wissner asked which lots on Fairfield South were zoned Rl-9.5. Franzen replied the lots south of Outlot B were zoned RI-9.5. Blake believed that Mr. Rogers was more impacted than Centex Homes by the Rl-9.S zoning to the east. Schlampp asked Blake if Centex Homes was stating that lots were unsold in this area and Centex Homes did not object to Rl-9.5 zoning. Blake replied that he believed what was being proposed was reasonable and the impact to the north and Mr. Rogers would be more significant. 6 • IOZq • • • ( ( Bauer requested that the proponent return with two alternative plans. One plan would be Rl- 13.5 zoning in the northeast comer only and the second plan would be with RI-13.5 zoning for the perimeter lots from the northeast comer down to Outlot B. Johnson stated that he was willing to come back with the best proposal possible. MOTION: Bauer moved, seconded by Clinton to continue this Item to the April 26, 1993 Planning Commission meeting. Motion carried 5-0-0. /OY5 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission THROUGH: Robert A. Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources FROM: DATE: Barbara Penning Cross, Landscape Architect ~ April 30, 1993 SUBJECT: Supplemental Staff Report to April 23, 1993 Planning Staff for Sowles Property This development was approved at the Planning Commission April 26, 1993. PEDESTRIAN SYSTEMS: Sidewalks and trails will be installed, as shown on the attached plan, concurrent with road construction. GRADING AND TREE LOSS: There are 4,026 caliper inches of significant trees on site. The majority of significant trees, mostly oak and maple, are centered around the existing wetland. Eight hundred forty four caliper inches will be removed for development. The tree loss is 22%, which is below the 30% average tree loss for subdivisions. DNR WETLAND: The City has been concerned with protecting wetland areas and surrounding vegetation and has required scenic easements or dedication to preserve these resources. The City required an adjacent development to plat the wetland into an outlot to minimize the number of property owners that need to be notified if encroachment occurs. The proposed scenic easement, 130 feet back from the curb, also accomplishes preservation of the vegetation, slopes and the wetlands.

The Planning Commission directed the proponent to return with alternative plans for either RI-13.5 in the northeast corner only and a second plan would be RI-13.5 zoning for the perimeter lots from the northeast corner down to Outlot B. The Commission also directed Staff to report back with information on the following: 1. How is the DNR Wetland best protected. 2. Is there enough room adjacent to County Road 1 for landscaping. 3. How can construction access be handled to not impact existing homeowners in adjoining subdivisions. 4. Investigate the traffic impacts of the extension of Danton Way to Dell Road. TRANSITION Lots 10 through 17, Block I, are proposed for RI-13.5 Zoning as a transition to the existing homes on Bainbridge Drive to the north in Fairfield which is zoned RI-13.5. Another transitional change has been a different orientation for Lots I and 2, Block 9. These lots previously fronted on Street A but now front on Roger's Road so that backyards would not face into the side yard. Lots 1 through 9, Block 1, and Lots 4, 5, and 6, Block 8, could be zoned 13.5 if the Planning Commission feels that the transition across the rear yard is not adequate. Taking two lots out of this area would provide enough square footage spread across the other lots to meet the RI-13.5 zoning. Lots 1-4, Block 8 and Lots 1-6, Block 9 are immediately adjacent to land which is zoned RI-9.5 for which lots have not been sold with the exception of the Roger's household. DNR WETLAND The Staff has received comments from the Department of Natural Resources regarding the wetland. The DNR is primarily concerned with the pretreatment of water before entering the wetland area. The DNR has no jurisdiction over the protection of slopes or trees because it is not a Shoreland Area but encourages the City to preserve vegetation as much as possible to minimize erosion. The DNR cannot prevent individual homeowner's from owning portions of the wetland but recommends the City consider conservancy easements on the slope and wetland . • • • • • • Staff Report Sowles Property April 23, 1993 ( ( The developer is proposing a conservation easement within the rear yards of the lots abutting the wetland. A distance of 130 feet from the back of the curb would be for driveway, house, deck, and a maintained rear yard. From that point into the wetland would be the easement area. See Attachment A. Attached is a copy of the City's standard conservation easement to be filed on each lot. The Park and Recreation Staff would prefer to have an Outlot designation over the pond and a conservancy easement on the slopes but would be willing to consider an conservancy easement over the entire area including the wetland. LANDSCAPING ADJACENT TO COUNTY ROAD 1 Landscaping within the proposed right-of-way will be located to private property. CONSTRUCTION ACCESS As part of the Developer's Agreement between Orrin Thompson Homes and the City of Eden Prairie, it can be stipulated where construction traffic can take access to and from the neighborhood. In addition, as part of the pre-construction meeting process, the City gives instructions to contractors as to what streets they can use as well as prescribing responsibility for cleanup of debris and erosion. A site grading and development bond is required of the contractors. OVERALL ROAD LAYOUT Dell Road is a major collector road that can handle up to 20,000 trips per day. (Going to and from work for example is considered two trips.) If Bearpath had been approved according to the Comprehensive Guide Plan (l,050 units) 10,500 trips per day would use Dell Road. The project is 300 units and the number of trips would be 3,000 per day. Since the entrance to Bearpath is closer to future Scenic Heights Road and 212 than County Road 1, the majority of the traffic is expected to travel in a northerly direction. In addition, the Bearpath entrance is north of Danton Way. It can be expected that some people traveling north on Dell Road may use Danton Way, Bainbridge Drive, and Candlewood Parkway to County Road 4. However, the length of the road, the curving nature of the road and the number of driveways discourage people from taking this route, especially when the alternative is to travel on a higher speed, limited access roads such as Dell Road, Scenic Heights Road, and County Road 1. In addition, taking a short cut to County Road 4 in the morning would result in greater travel time because making a left turn at an unsignalized intersection at Candlewood is difficult and results in delay . JOC)/ ( ( Staff Report Sowles Property April 23, 1993 One of the reasons for road connections between neighborhoods is to distribute traffic. If only one road was planned in and out of the neighborhood, it would create undue concentration of traffic. If Danton Way was a cul-de-sac, it would create less traffic on the road. However, it would force more traffic to use Trenton Drive and concentrate traffic at Braxton. Also, people on Bainbridge would have longer routes to Riley Lake Park for example and would add more traffic on Braxton. The attached map indicates multiple ways for people to get in and out of the residential area bounded by Scenic Heights Road and Dell Road. Sometimes road connections are not made between neighborhoods if there is a change in land use, such as between single family and apartments or single family and commercial. Road connections also are not made in order to preserve wetlands or woodland areas, and provided there are other ways in which the traffic can get in and out of the area. STAFF RECOl\1l\1ENDATIONS The Planning Staff presents the following alternative courses of action for Commission consideration: I. If the Planning Commission is comfortable with the Guide Plan, PUD, Rezoning and Preliminary Plat request as proposed by the proponents, then one option would be to recommend approval of the projects based on revised plans dated April 23, 1993, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Reports dated April 9, 1993, and April 23, 1993, and subject to the following conditions: 1. Prior to review by the City Council, the proponent shall: A. Modify the landscape plan as recommended in the landscape section for additional plant materials for screening and transition purposes. B. Provide an architectural diversity plan for the RI-9.5 areas which key specific unit types to lots such that no two units are alike, side- by-side, opposite or directly across from each other. 2. Modify the storm water plan to provide a direct access to the NURP ponding areas from adjoining streets. 3. Revise the preliminary plat to depict the wetland and slope areas as conservancy easement to the City. • • • • • • Staff Report Sowles Property April 23, 1993 ( ( 4. Relocate the lift station to an area more easily accessible by City Street. Extend the 12 inch sanitary sewer line to the southwest comer of the project. II. Prior to final plat approval, the proponent shall: A. Submit detailed storm water runoff, utility, and erosion control plans for review by the City Engineer. B. Provide detailed storm water runoff, utility, and erosion control plans for review by the Watershed District. III. Prior to building permit issuance, the proponent shall: A. Pay the appropriate cash park fee. B. Submit plans for review by the Fire Marshal . . . C. Submit the architectural diversity plan for review, and exterior material and color schemes for the twinhome units. IV. The proponent will be required to design the NURP ponds according to National Urban Runoff Program design criteria and use PCA Best Management Practices from the manual Protecting Water Ouality in Urban Areas. V. Prior to grading permit issuance, the proponent shall stake the proposed grading limits with the snow fence adjacent to the tree line. The Developer shall notify the City 48 hours prior to the commencement of grading. VI. The following Planned Unit Development District Review Waivers are grallted: A. Lot size waiver from 6500 square feet to 4000 square feet and the street frontage waiver from 45 feet to 0 feet. II. If the Planning Commission feels there should be additional RI-13.5 lots within this subdivision to transition to the Fairfield project to the east, one option would be to recommend revising the plan for Blocks I and 8 subject to the above conditions under Alternative One. The staff recommends Alternative I. ( ( _.P .... _-- -.. • .------------~--... ~ ... ~ .... ---. -.~.---- • '~-J. ) /\-• \ / :at UTlOT D • --~ ~ !..j) 5H~ -LAKE \ l'~ .. ~ (\ I , I ----..- ~­ Q.

I28.CR •• Staff Report Sowles Property April 9, 1993 ( COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN CHANGE ( The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates this site as low density residential for up to 2.5 units per acre or a total of 209 units. The total number of units proposed on this project is 194 and based on density only, no Comprehensive Guide Plan Change would be required. However, it has been the policy of the City that when different land uses are proposed within a project, that the guide plan should be graphically changed to differentiate between the uses. Therefore, the 12.06 acre twinhome area, even though the density is 2.05 units per acre, would be changed to Medium Density Residential. The graphic change is also a benefit to future land owners inquiring about adjacent uses. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT This project is a mixed use residential Planned Unit Development for 162 Rl-9.5 single family lots and 32 twinhome lots. The PUD Concept connects to the existing road patterns in the Fairfield South project to the east. There is one access off Pioneer Trail and two accesses off future Dell Road. There are two site planning issues with the Planned .Unit Development • Concept: transition between uses within the PUD, and transition to land uses outside of PUD. • The DNR wetland, and significant tree cover provides a good transition between the single family and twinhome areas with the exception of Block 10. Since density within the twinhome area overall, is less than the density of the single family home area the transition question is more a site specific visual relationship between the twinhome units and the adjacent single family homes. The Staff would suggest providing large plant material and berming along the north and east sides of the twin homes on Block 10. The transition to the adjoining areas outside of the project is a lot size transition question. When the Fairfield South project was approved by the City, it was approved with 31 % 13.5 lots and 69% RI-9.5 lots. The 13.5 lots were planned for the western portion of the project to transition what was envisioned to be a standard RI-13.5 neighborhood on the Sowles Property. One way to provide transition would be to require that all of the lots abutting the Fairfield South and the Fairfield North project be Rl-13.5 lots. This would be Block 1, Block 8, and Block 9. The Commission also has the alternative of viewing transition as the distance between homes occurring across the rear lot lines. To further emphasize the visual transition, plant materials could be placed along the common lot lines. lUi ~1 J l(j • • • • starr Report Sowles Property April 9, 1993 ( PRELIMINARY PLAT ( The preliminary plat depicts the subdivision of 83.55 acres into 162 RI-9.5 lots, and 32 twinhome lots. All of the lots proposed for RI-9.5 housing meet the minimum requirements of that zoning district. This would include at least 70 feet of frontage on a street (55 foot minimum on a cul-de-sac, 90 feet for a comer lot,) and a 9500 square foot minimum lot size. The area to be zoned RM-6.5 would require a minimum lot size of 6500 square feet of land area per unit and 45 feet of street frontage. None of the lots meet this requirement and would require a Planned Unit Development District Review waiver which will be discussed in more detail in a subsequent section. The wetland easement areas should be changed to an outlot and dedicated to the City. This would be consistent with the wetland area in the Fairfield South project to the east. There are five outlots in the project. These outlots will be combined with lots in adjoining subdivisions . Hennepin County is recommending that an additional 17 feet of right-of-way be dedicated for Pioneer Trail on the north side. Rl-9.5 ZONING The area proposed for Rl-9.5 Zoning includes 163 lots on 50.92 acres at a density of 2.39 units per acre. When the RI-9.5 Zoning District was created in the early 80's, the intent of the District was for affordable starter housing. Since that time because of land prices, it has not been possible to provide for housing between $85,000 to $125,000 per home. The RI-9.5 Zoning District has been recently used to meet a market demand for homes between $125,000 to $160,000. Examples of this would be the Fairfield North and the Fairfield South. The Developer has indicated that the home prices will range from $110,000 to approximately $160,000. The City has an architectural diversity policy for lots to be zoned RI-9.5 This policy requires that no two units be alike side by side, opposite or diagonally across from each other. The reason for the architectural diversity plan was that the first RI-9.5 subdivisions the City had a limited number of housing styles available. Examples of these subdivisions are along Carmody Drive and Lee Drive in the Bluffs. Because these lots were narrow (55 ft), only garage front houses were built. Architectural diversity was difficult to accomplish, so in 1985 the RI-9.5 district street frontage was increased to 70 feet. 1U19 starr Report Sowles Property April 9, 1993 ( ( The Developer is aware of the architectural diversity plan and has a variety of units which will work on these lots. It should be required as a condition of approval prior to City Council review that the Developer provide an architectural diversity plan. At the time of building permit issuance, the City Staff will check each individual building permit to see whether or not it complies with the plan approved by the City. RM-6.S ZONING AND PLANNED UNIT DEVEWPMENT DISTRICT REVIEW WAIVERS The proposed RM-6.5 twinhome area is proposed adjacent to County Road 1. A total of 32 lots are proposed on 12.6 acres at a density of 2.05 units per acre. The RM-6.5 Zoning District permits a maximum density of 6.7 units per acre. The RM-6.5 Zoning District has a minimum lot size requirement of 6500 square feet and a minimum street frontage of 45 feet. None of the lots within this area meet these requirement. The project could be redesigned to meet these requirements but the units to be spaced farther apart, and may result in additional grading and tree loss. Since the overall density of the project is less than City code, and the plan as proposed is saving significant number of trees and the wetland area, the waivers from the City Code are reasonable because it results in a better plan for the City and a better plan. for the site. In order to provide for architectural continuity, it is recommended that there be a common base color and material either for the siding or the roof, and accent colors provided for variety. GRADING AND TREE LOSS There are a total of 4,026 significant trees on the property mostly Oak and Maple. Tree loss is calculated at 844 inches or a 22% tree loss. This compares with the average tree loss of 30% for 60 residential projects with tree replacement. Tree replacement for this project would be 244 inches. STORM WATER OUALITY -WETLAND IMPACTS There are two wetlands on the property. One is a DNR protected wetland in the south central portion of the project, the other is an Army Corps wetland adjacent to the Chicago Northwestern Railroad right-of-way. Storm water will be pretreated through NURP ponds prior to discharge into these wetland areas. The Engineering Department is recommending revision in the lotting plans adjacent to the NURP pond areas so that there would be direct access to the pond areas. The proposed access to some of the ponds are by easements which historically has not worked because the dimension of the easement is too narrow for City vehicles. !JOO • • • • • • starr Report Sowles Property April 9, 1993 ( ( A water level control structure is proposed in the southwest comer of the DNR protected wetland. This is to maintain the water level so as not to disturb the existing natural vegetation around the edge of the wetland area. The lowest floor elevation of the homes adjacent to this wetland area is a minimum of 22 feet above the maintained water level. The storm sewer lift station should be relocated to an area which has better access from a City street. The grading plan for Blocks 2, 4, 5, and 6 should be revised to provide for adequate rear yard drainage or storm sewer should be extended to pick up rear yard drainage from these Blocks. UTILITIES -SANITARY SEWER AND WATER Sanitary sewer and water will be extended to this site with the development of the Fairfield South project directly to the east. In addition, with the construction of Dell Road and the Bearpath project, water and sewer will connect into the Bearpath project. The 12 inch municipal water line within the twinhome area should be realigned to extend west beyond street cul-de-sac I to the southwest corner of proposed Dell Road and County Road 1. SIDEW ALK AND TRAILS The utility plan indicates the location of five foot wide concrete sidewalks throughout the proposed subdivision. In addition, the Developer will be responsible for the construction of an 8 foot wide bituminous trail on the north side of County Road 1. Dell Road, when constructed, will have a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk on one side and an 8 foot wide bituminous trail on the other side. In addition, there should be a trail connection to the railroad corridor trail. TRAFFIC If the project was developed according to the Comprehensive Guide Plan, a total of 2,118 trips per day would be possible from this project. The project as proposed with 194 units would generate 1940 trips per day. Dell Road and Pioneer Trail are minor arterials which are designed to carry a higher traffic road. These roads are designed to accommodate the volume of traffic from this subdivision. Due to the number of road connections to the Fairfield South project, and multiple access points on Dell Road and Pioneer Trail, traffic should be evenly distributed from this project and not create an undue concentration of traffic at any of these intersections. Access points onto Dell Road and County Road 1 are limited because of the speed of these roads and traffic volumes. The County Highway Department has reviewed this project and has indicated that Street A on Dell Road meets site vision distance for the posted speed limit. The Developer must construct a west bound right turn lane with the full width extended east beyond 110 1 Staff Report Sowles Property April 9, 1993 ( ( the Cedar Forest Road intersection and a full east bound by-pass lane extending the full width to meet Cedar Forest Road. Although the construction drawings for Dell Road are not complete, based on preliminary design information, site vision distance at both road intersections at Dell Road will meet the minimum site vision distance for the posted speed of 35 miles per hour. LANDSCAPING The amount of landscaping required for this project is based upon a tree replacement requirement, a caliper inch requirement based upon gross building square footage for the twin home project, transition between land uses within the project and buffering adjacent to Pioneer Trail and Dell Road. The tree replacement requirement is 244 inches and the caliper inch requirement for the twinhomes is 250 inches. The landscape plan depicts a total of 498 caliper inches. The landscape plan depicts the caliper inches located along Pioneer Trail and Dell Road which will provide for some screening. Some landscaping is proposed across the rear lot lines of the twinhome areas. • Since 17 feet of additional right-of-way is being dedicated along Pioneer Trail, many of the plant • materials will have to be relocated to the north. Because of the tight dimension between Street I and the road right-of-way, it may not be enough room for plant material. Either Street I could be shifted slightly to the north, or the landscaping could be provided on the north side of Street A. Because there is a limited amount of room for berming, it is recommended that additional plant materials be located along Pioneer Trail. Since many of the homes in the proposed RI-9.5 area have a short setback from Dell Road, it is recommended that the berm heights be increased and additional plant material added. The transition area between the 13.5 area and Fairfield South and the 9.5 area in this proposed subdivision should have additional landscaping. To provide for transition within the project, additional landscaping is needed on the north and east sides of the twinhomes lots on Lot 10. These revised landscape changes should be made prior to review by the City Council. 1102 • • • • ( ( Staff Report Sowles Property April 9, 1993 CONCLUSION Many of the recommended change suggested in the Staff Report are technical aspects that can be completed prior to review by the City Council without changing the number of lots or the road locations. The key issue for the Planning Commission is to choose between the subdivision with all RI-9.5 lots, with a visual transition to the 13.5 areas to the east and north or consider the lot sizes adjoining Fairfield South and Fairfield 7th be changed to RI-13.5 Zoning. It is Stafrs opinion that the 13.5 zoning would provide a better transition and would also be more consistent with past City approval for the percentages of 13.5 and RI-9.5 lots in the subdivision.

Kipp, Planner April 23, 1993 Victory Lutheran Church Victory Lutheran Church East of County Road 4, north of Berger Drive 1. Zoning District Amendment within the Public Zoning District on 6.6 acres. /J/ " ( Staff Report Victory Lutheran Church April 23, 1993 BACKGROUND ( The City Council approved the Victory Lutheran Church in April of 1992. This approval included a Comprehensive Guide Plan Change, rezoning and platting of the property into a church site and four residential lots. In addition, Berger Drive was approved to be connected to County Road 4, and the termination of Lakeshore Drive into a cul-de-sac. The church is proposing to commence with construction of the project this Fall. CURRENT REQUEST A zoning district amendment is requested at this time for approval to change the architecture and building materials for the church. The original approval was for a 7,600 square foot 200 seat facility. Building materials consisted of 75 % stone veneer and glass, and 25 % wood. A pitched roof design was proposed as an architectural transition to the neighboring residential housing. The proposed architecture still maintains the residential character, with building height consistent with code. The building materials have changed to 75% facebrick and25% "dryvit" stucco • system meeting the code requirement. The building has increased in size to 9,200 square feet • due to a walkout design, but only covers 3 % of the site. The footprint of the building covers approximately the same area as the previous plan. The Public Zoning District does not restrict the amount of site coverage. For comparison of site coverage, a typical building in the office zoning district can occupy up to 30 % of a site. Therefore, this square footage increase is of minimal impact. A total of 200 seats is still proposed. The plan also includes the grading of a flat access area from the parking lot to the lower level of the church. This area will not be paved and will be used on a very limited basis. All other aspects of the previously approved plans remain the same. The amendment to the Victory Lutheran Church project only affects architecture and building materials. Any development beyond this phase will require City review and approval based on applicable procedures in effect at the time of application for development. Such review shall, at a minimum, require public meetings and/or hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends approval of the zoning district amendment within the public zoning district on 6.6 acres based on this report and plans dated March 30, 1993, subject to the following: 11/3 • • • • ( Staff Report Victory Lutheran Church April 23, 1993 ( 1.

Preliminary Plat of 10 acres into 5 lots and road right-of-way. . - ~North_~ Staff Report Victory Lutheran Church l\'1arch 6, 1992 BACKGROUND This project was continued at the January 13, 1992 Planning Commission meeting in order for the proponent to address the following concerns: 1. The use of a cul-de-sac versus a private driveway for the existing home located in the southeast corner of the site. 2. Access to County Road 4 at Berger Drive. 3. Landscape buffering of the parking area. 4. Storm water handling through N.U.R.P. ponding standards. ACCESS • The site plan has been modified to replace the proposed private driveway for the existing home in the southeast corner of the site with a public cul-de-sac. This revision is based on meetings held between City Staff, the church, and the current property owners. Two additional lots to • the north also share this roadway. Sewer and water service will be provided within the cul-de-sac to serve the existing home and one lot to the north. Sewer and water stubs currently exist along Red Oak Drive for the proposed lot in the northeast corner. Since the existing home now fronts along this proposed roadway, a variance for lot frontage, as referred in the previous Staff Report, will not be necessary. Provided with this report is a County Road 4 layout which indicates a shift in the full access location from Lake Shore Drive, south to the new location of Berger Drive. Both Hennepin County and MNDOT have endorsed this access shift. STORM WATER RUNOFF Catch basins are being provided within the parking lot and the proposed Lake Shore Drive cul- de-sac, directing runoff to an existing storm sewer stub along the north property line. Prior to any runoff entering this existing outlet, it will now be ponded within a sedimentation basin designed to meet the National Urban Runoff Policy Standards, as required in the previous Staff Report. 1111 • • • • Staff Report Victory Lutheran Church March 6, 1992 (( Existing catch basins within Berger Drive are adequate for the additional runoff generated by the extension of this roadway to County Road 4. Continued maintenance of Lake Shore Drive over the years has caused an existing low point along the roadway to be filled over. This low point provided positive drainage for the existing home located in the southeast corner of the site. During storm events, water now tends to collect on the property. As part of this proposal, the proponent has agreed to regrade a drainage swale to provide positive drainage necessary. SUl\1MARY The decision to change the Guide Plan from low density residential to church needs to be based on factors that make this the appropriate land use for the site and surrounding area, including; The residential character of the design. The transitional and buffering aspects between the County road and the residential areas to the east. The preserved open space . Minimal traffic generation. This project will require the vacation of Lake Shore Drive from County Road 4 easterly to the existing residential lots. A new connection to County Road 4 will take place at Berger Drive, and a cul-de-sac will be provided to access the 3 proposed lot5 on the east side of the development. The plans submitted address the issues raised in the previous Staff Report and Planning Commission meeting. The street, utility and storm water plans are preliminary in nature, and will require further design revisions in order to meet full City standards. This is typically handled prior to final plat release, and will not affect the overall design of the subdivision. RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning Staff recommend approval of the Guide Plan change from Low Density Residential to Church on 6.6 acres, Zoning District Change from Rl-22 to Public and Site Plan Review on 6.6 acres, Zoning District Amendment within the R 1-22 Zoning District on 3.4 acres, and 1110 Staff Report Victory Lutheran Church March 6, 1992 Preliminary Plat of 10 acres into 5 lots and road right-of-way and based on the Staff Reports dated January 10, 1992 and March 6, 1992, plans revised and dated March 4, 1992, and subject to the following: 1. Prior to final plat, the proponent shall: A. Vacate Lake Shore Drive, except for that portion lying east of the lot located in the southeast corner. B. Submit detailed storm water and erosion control plans for review and approval by the Watershed District. C. Submit detailed storm water, street, utility and erosion control plans for review and approval by the City Engineer, including design of the proposed storm water retention pond to National Urban Runoff Policy standards. 2. Prior to grading permit issuance, the proponent shall notify the City and Watershed District at least 48 hour in advance of grading. 3. Concurrent with street and utility construction, the proponent shall: A. Receive an access permit from the County for Berger Drive. This shall include a bypass lane along County Road 4 at the intersection with Berger Drive. B. Extend the existing trail located on the east side of County Road 4 south to the south property line of the church property, prior to it crossing over to the west side of County Road 4. This shift is to accommodate the bypass lane for the County road. C. Extend City sewer and water to serve all proposed single family lots. D. Construct a drainage swale across the vacated portion of Lake Shore Drive to provide positive drainage for the existing lot in the southeast corner of the property. E. Restore vacated Lake Shore Drive with seed and mulch. 4. Prior to building permit issuance, proponent shall: A.

Surrounding land uses consist ofR1-22 single family to the north, east and south, and Rural located west of County Road 4. The site slopes toward the north from a high point of 884 on the west side and 880 on the east side to a low point of 856 along the north central portion of the property. Lakeshore Drive currently traverses the property. Existing vegetation consists of mainly boxelder and elm along the north property line and abutting both sides of Lakeshore Drive. Two oaks exist in the extreme easterly portion of the site and will not be affected by this proposal. GUIDE PLAN CHANGE A change to the Comprehensive Guide Plan has been requested on 6.6 acres from Low Density Residential to Church. The Guide Plan does not identify future sites for churches, but rather reflects existing church sites or ones approved by previous actions, therefore, the decision to change the Guide Plan to Church must be based on the need within the area and specific impacts to the site and surrounding land uses. A church use on this property may be appropriate based on the following reasons: 1. This use disturbs less of the property, with half of the site remaining in its natural state. 2. The church and parking lot are both located close to County Road 4 maintaining maximum distance to the existing single family homes. 3. The upgrading of County Road 4 and future construction of Highway 212 will increase traffic along the County road making the church use a better transition and buffer to single family developments. 4. Traffic generation from the church will peak only on Sunday mornings with the majority of trips accessing from County Road 4, thus minimizing traffic flow through the residential area. 5. Church activity will be minimal for the majority of the time. 6. The residential character of the church design is compatible with neighboring residential uses. / J~ 3 • • • ; I I • • • (~ ( ,- Staff Report Victory Lutheran Church January 10, 1992 PRELIl\flNARY PLAT The request is for a preliminary plat of 10 acres into 5 lots, four of which are for single family housing. The church is located on 6.6 acres with the residential lots totalling 3.4 acres. All residential lots meet the minimum size requirements within the R1-22 Zoning District. The existing house is to remain taking access from Red Oak Drive. Lakeshore Drive will be vacated as part of this proposal, except for the most easterly portion that connects to proposed Lot 4. A variance from the Board of Appeals will be necessary for road frontage along Lot 4 from the 90 feet required in the Rl-22 Zoning District down to 50 feet. Berger Drive will be extended to County Road 4 to replace the access lost by the vacation of Lakeshore Drive. Additional County road right-of-way is provided as part of this plat. In addition, the plat identifies the future right-of-way limits required by the State for the Highway 212 project. SITE PLAN The site plan depicts the construction of a 7,600 square foot church with a future expansion potential toward the east. A total of 70 parking spaces are provided meeting Code based on a first phase of 200 seats at one space for every three seats. All setbacks meet Code requirements. Access to the church will be from Berger Drive only. No direct access to County Road 4 will take place. GRADING AND DRAINAGE Minimal site alteration will be required with this proposal consisting of building pad construction, parking lot, and Berger Drive extension. Berming is provided along County Road 4 to screen the parking lot. Due to the sloping condition of the property, berming is not possible along the south and east sides of the parking to screen views from the residential areas. This will require screening with the use of plant materials, and will be discussed in the landscaping section. A series of catch basins have been provided for storm water handling which directs storm water directly to Red Rock Lake through a connection to an existing stub along the north property line. The DNR has reviewed the drainage plan and indicates the need to address an appropriate storm water treatment feature, such as a sedimentation basin prior to the run-off entering Red Rock If ~ Lj (( Staff Report Victory Lutheran Church January 10, 1992 (( Lake (See attached letter). In addition, this pond will need to meet National Urban Run-off Policy standards. Prior to City Council review, the proponent shall address storm water handling to the satisfaction of the City and DNR. Existing catch basins within Berger Drive are adequate for additional run-off generated by the extension of this roadway to County Road 4. UTILITIES City sewer and water service is available to the proPerty with connection to existing lines within Berger Drive and along Red Oak Drive. The water line within Berger Drive will be looped to County Road 4. Sewer and water will be extended to the existing house from Red Oak Drive. An existing fire hydrant will now be located within the northeast comer of Lot 4 as a result of the proposed vacation of Lakeshore Drive. An additional ten foot easement will be required along the extreme easterly portion of vacated Lakeshore Drive in order to provide access to the hydrant for maintenance purposes. ACCESS Berger Drive is proposed to access County Road 4 as part of this development. This road is designed at approximately an 8 % grade which is the maximum allowed by Code. Site vision distance along the County Road will be improved with this new access. The County is also requiring by-pass and turning lanes along the County Road at this intersection. In order for these lanes to work, the existing 8 foot bituminous trail will need to be extended farther south before crossing the County road. Access to Lot 4 will be from Red Oak Drive by way of a short portion of Lakeshore Drive right-of-way which will remain. However, the curb, gutter and bituminous will be removed within this area and replaced with a driveway to serve the existing house. New curbing and a connecting section of sidewalk will be placed along Red Oak Drive. Since this will still be City right-of-way, access to the existing and proposed utilities will be maintained. ARCHITECTURE The pitched roof design of the church is done in such a manner to blend well with the surrounding residential area. Building materials consist of 75 % glass and stone veneer and small percentage of wood, meeting Code requirements in the Public Zoning District. The structure /I~S • • • • • • Staff Report Victory Lutheran Church January 10, 1992 ,-( , does not exceed the 30 foot height limitation by Code. Portions of the building will be earth bermed. Both the mechanical equipment screening wall and trash enclosure will be constructed of materials consistent with the main structure. LANDSCAPING The landscaping proposal provides adequate screening of the parking lot from County Road 4 with use of benning and evergreen plant material. However, no screening has been provided for views from the residential housing areas to the east. Because of the sloping nature of the site, screening of the parking area from the east will rely solely on the use of plant materials. The attachment shows how additional evergreen material can be incorporated into the design to provide the necessary screening from the residential areas. Prior to City Council review, proponent shall address the need for screening of the parking lot from these residential areas. LIGHTING The lighting proposed for the site consists of 20 foot downcast cut-off luminars to eliminate off- site glare. Some building security lighting is proposed as well and will require similar downcast design in order to eliminate glare. SUl\1MARY The decision to change the Guide Plan from low density residential to church needs to be based on factors that make this the appropriate land use for the site and surrounding area, including: The residential character of the design. The transitional and buffering aspects between the County road and residential areas to the east. The preserved open space. Minimal traffic generation. This project will require the vacation of Lakeshore Drive. A new connection to County Road 4 will take place at Berger Drive. This will maintain an additional and safer access for residential traffic to reach the County road . (( Staff Report Victory Lutheran Church January 10, 1992 RECOMMENDATIONS (( If the Planning Commission feels that a Guide Plan Change from Low Density Residential to Church has merit and has been properly mitigated for such a use, then the Planning Staff would recommend approval of the Guide Plan Change from Low Density Residential to Church on 6.6 acres, Zoning District Change from Rl-22 to Public and site plan review on 6.6 acres, Zoning district amendment within the Rl-22 Zoning District on 3.4 acres, with a variance to be reviewed by the Board of Appeals and preliminary plat of 10 acres into 5 lots and road right-of- way based on this report, plans revised and dated December 20, 1991 and December 23, 1991 and subject to the following: l.

Decembe~ 23, 1991 Mr. Chris Enger city of Eden Prairie Planning Department 7600 Executive Drive Eden Prairie, MN 55344 RE: VICTORY LUTHERAN CHURCH, RED ROCK LAKE (27-76P), CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE, HENNEPIN COUNTY Dear Mr. Enge,r: We have reviewed the site plans (received November 13, 1991) for the above-referenced project (SE1/4 Section 17, Tl16N, R22W) and have the following comments to offer: 1. The project site does not contain any DNR protected waters or wetlands; therefore, no DNR protected waters permit is required. 2. The site does not appear to be within a floodplain district. 3. The proposed plan does not indicate how the stormwater will be managed. You are advised that the DNR would object to having the stormwater routed directly to Red Rock Lake. Stormwater sedimentation/treatment basins, or other appropriate stormwater treatment features, should be included in the stormwater management plan. If stormwater is routed directly to Red Rock Lake it can cause sedimentation and water level bounces that are detrimental to the basin's wildlife values and water quality. 4. It appears that the site may be within the 1000' foot shore land district of Red: Rock Lake, which has a shoreland classification of Recreational Development. If so, the development should be consistent with the city's shore land management regulations. The city is in the process of updating its shore land management ordinance to be consistent with the 1989 version of state guidelines. However, I see some areas in the current Victory Lutheran Church proposal that could potentially be in conflict with the current state shore land guidelines: J IJ0 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER • • • • • • Mr. Enger December 23, 1991 Page Two a. The amount of impervious surface wi thin the shore land district of Red Rock Lake should be less than 25 percent of the total area of the development within the shoreland district. b. The structures in the development should be shielded from view on the shores of Red Rock Lake using vegetation, topography, color and other means acceptable to the City. 5. Appropriate erosion control measures should be taken during the construction period. The Minnesota Construction site Erosion and Sediment Control Planning Handbook (Board of Water & Soil Resources and Association of Metropolitan Soil and Water Conservation Districts) guidelines, or their equivalent, should be followed. 6. If construction involves dewatering in excess of 10,000 gallons per day or 1 million gallons per year, the contractor will need to obtain a DNR appropriations permit. You are advised that it typically takes approximately 60 days to process the permit application. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

Hennemuth Bordon Hennemuth Architects 7300 France Avenue South, Ste. 202 Minneapolis, MN 55435 The Victory Lutheran Church Project was submitted to the City of Eden Prairie for review in 1992 and the Project was approved by the City Council. At the present time Victory Lutheran Church proposes to amend the Project with a change to the architectural design of the church. other elements of the Project will remain as they were in the original submittal approved by the City, including the site approach, parking, landscaping, screening, storm drainage system, and roads. Per the executed developer agreement with the City, the City will construct the road extending Burger Drive to County Road 4, construct a cul de sac terminating Lake Shore Drive at the east property line, and provide the storm water drainage system. The construction documents for the road and drainage system will not be affected by the proposed building design changes. Construction of the proposed church is scheduled for fall, 1993. Phase I of the building is shown on the drawings submitted and includes t,,,,o floor levels. The upper level will honse the sanctuary, sacristy, narthex, two offices, and elevator/stair to • the lower level. Phase I of the lower level will house the mechanical room and public toilets, and unfinished space to be completed at a later date. The south and west walls will be below grade and not exposed, and the north and east walls will be above • grade walls with window openings and emergency egress doors. Phase II space has not been designed at this time but will generally be attached to the east side of Phase I. • • • ( ( Page 2 The church will be located on the same area of the site as the previously approved plan. The proposed design is shown on the submittal drawings. Ex lerior materials include asphal t shingles on the sloped roof areas of the sanctuary. Secondary building elements for the elevator/stair and building entrance/vestibule will have flat roofs. Seventy-five percent of the exterior wall area will consist of face brick, windows, and stone accents at window openings. The remaining 25% of exterior building wall materials will be exterior insulation finish systems (EIFS). EIFS material will be used at the elevator/stair building element, limited areas at the building entrance, and at the upper level east wall window grouping. All of the areas covered with EIFS are temporary wall construction areas and are intended to be modified or removed for the Phase II building construction . • • • MEMORANDUM TO: City Council THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager FROM: Chris Enger, Director of Community Development Michael D.

The replacement of the athletic fields is the third and final phase of the Central Middle School construction. The first phase of the project was the building expansion which was completed in 1992. The second phase is the Bus Garage and turnaround which is scheduled to be completed this summer. Construction to replace the athletic fields will begin in 1994 and be completed by 1995. Because of the construction timing, the coordination required with MnDOT, and that all of the specific construction details have not been finalized, the Planning Commission review will be for concept approval only. The School District will return for approval prior to construction. CONCEPT PLAN The plans indicate a total of eight tennis courts, a running track and two combination softball/soccer fields. Construction of the facilities will require the demolition of one industrial building and the homes in the Eden Court neighborhood. All demolition w~ll be completed by MnDOT as part of the TH 212 construction project. GRADING The entire site will be grading to provide level playing fields. Preliminary calculations indicate a total of 77,000 cubic yards of excavation. TREE LOSS/LANDSCAPING A tree survey has been done on the project site. There are a total of 271 significant trees on the site totally 3,751 caliper inches. All of the trees will be removed with construction. Of the 271 trees on-site, only 2 would be considered virgin while the remaining 269 have been planted by previous property owners. A prior agreement with the School District stated that planted trees would be replaced on a tree per tree basis while virgin trees would be replaced per the Tree Preservation Ordinance. Overall, 278 trees must be replaced or 834 caliper inches. The landscape plan for this site depicts 176 trees or 528 caliper inches. The remaining trees will be planted in other acres of the School District property. • • • • • • ( ( Staff Report Central Middle School Phase n May 7, 1993 UTILITIES ( ( Necessary utilities for this project include storm water runoff and a looped water connection. The City is also interested in acquiring one or two well house sites (See attached memo). These details must be resolved prior to final approval in 1994. RECQ~NDATIQNS Staff recommends approval of the proposed concept plan with the stipulation that final plans be returned for Planning Commission and City Council review and approval prior to construction. These plans must address the concerns of the Engineering Department . ( (-MEMORANDUM- ( ( TO: Development Review Committee Members FROM: Engineering Department DATE: April 22, 1993 SUBJECT: Central Middle School The following are preliminary engineering comments based on the Engineering Department's review of plans for development of athletic fields within the Central Middle School area. Plans reviewed were provided by the Hoisington Koegler Group dated April 4, 1993. • Provide a plan for the disposition of unused utilities, demolition of existing buildings, and vacation of road right-of-way within the Eden Court neighborhood. • Provide a detailed storm water design plan showing pipe sizes, drainage routing, drainage computations, drainage. areas and interim drainage plan providing drainage prior to the construction of drainage facilities within the TH 212 Highway Project. • Additional capacity for the storm sewer facilities and water quality ponding within TH 212 to accommodate storm water runoff from this site must be purchased (from the Minnesota Department of Transportation) by the School District, or the School District must make provisions for additional storm sewer capacity with the MnDOT. The City of Eden Prairie will not be responsible for additional costs to provide storm sewer or ponding capacity within the TH 212 right-of-way. • Provide a plan showing existing utilities within the school property and adjoining area. • The City is interested in discussing with the School District locations on this site for a well house or two and a corridor from a raw water line.

Zoning District Amendment within the 1-2 Park Zoning District on 8.31 acres. Site Plan Review on 8.31 acres. 1 114A • • , , ...... .\ \'<11 \ \ ~\\ o~ \ 'i>1 \ Z\ \ 5\ \ ~I II C ." II: L o ( Staff Report Eden Prairie Transportation Facility May 7, 1993 BACKGROUND ( This site is guided industrial, and zoned 1-2 Park. The Industrial Zoning District will permit public uses such as the Eden Prairie Transportation Building. There are two issues with this project; screening of the buses, loading areas, maneuvering areas, and overhead doors from public roads and adjacent differing land uses; and storm water qUality. SITE PLAN The site plan depicts the construction of a 68,000 sq. ft. building on 8.31 acres at a base area ratio of.19. The Industrial Zoning District would allow a base area ratio of.30. The building as proposed meets the minimum setback requirement of 50 feet from Wallace Road and future Technology Drive. Parking meets the required 50 foot setback on one frontage and exceeds the 25 foot setback on the other frontage. ARCHITECTURE • The proposed building will be constructed out of exterior materials permitted in the 1-2 Park • Zoning District including concrete and glass. The overhead doors are not included as part of the calculation for exterior materials since they are part of a loading area which is required to be screened by ordinance. Roof top mechanical equipment located on top of the building will be screened by an extension of the exterior walls (parapet). . GRADING AND TREE LOSS There are no significant trees greater than 12 inches in diameter on this site. The site is relatively level to gently rolling. The entire site will be mass grated to provide a level area for the building, parking, bus staging, and maintenance areas. STORM WATER OUALITY There is an interim and long-range storm water quality solution for this property. Prior to the construction of 212, all storm water runoff from this site will drain into proposed Technology Drive and travel north on Wallace Road where it will be discharged into an existing sedimentation pond near Highway 5. This will provide some pre-treatment in the interim. As part of 212 construction, the State will be constructing NURP ponds to pretreat all storm water runoff that drains towards Highway right-of-way. The School District and MNDOT have an • • • • ( Staff Report Eden Prairie Transportation Facility May 7, 1993 ( agreement whereby MNDOT will be constructing a NURP pond required for the school project. The school district must provide a letter from MNDOT verifying that MNDOT will construct the NURP pond and will not be charging the City for this cost. SHORELAND ORDINANCE This site is within 1000 feet of the highwater mark of what is referred to as "school pond". The City has a shoreland ordinance which limits the amount of impervious surface area within 1000 feet of the highwater mark of the Lake to 30 %. The City has on other projects in shoreland areas granted variances for increased impervious surface provided that either the storm water is pretreated before being directly discharged into the pond or, as in this case, the storm water runoff does not drain towards school pond. LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING The landscape ordinance requires that a landscape plan be based on a caliper inch requirement according to building square footage. This amount is 212 caliper inches. The landscape ordinance also requires that all parking, loading, service, utility and outdoor storage areas be screened from all public roads and adjacent differing land uses. The height and depth of the screening shall be consistent with the height and size of the area which screening is required. When natural plant materials such as trees are used to meet the screening requirements, density and species of planting shall be such to achieve 75 % capacity year round. The parking areas adjacent to Technology Drive and Wallace Road are screened with benning and plant material. The bus staging area, loading area and overhead doors adjacent to Technology Drive are not screened according to code. The view of the loading, bus staging, and overhead door area is not screened from adjacent homes to the southeast of the project area. Since these homes sit at a higher elevation (900 feet on first floor, 914 view height on 2nd floor) screening must be 22 feet in height to achieve 75 % screening. There are views into the back side of this area from across school pond from the houses on the south side of Scenic Heights. The plan as proposed screens this view. Attachment A indicates plan changes to screen according to code. 1. Raise the berm heights to the maximum possible within the setback and create a 4 foot high fence along Technology Drive. 2. Along the east property line, it may be possible that some land owned by the City to the east of this project could be used for a common berm. There are practical I j 110(" \'1 J ( ( starr Report Eden Prairie Transportation Facility May 7,1993 difficulties due to the location of sewer and water pipes 13 feet underground. If the berming is not possible, then the other alternative would be to create a fence of 6 feet in height. Since there is a steep slope adjacent to where the fence would be located, the building would have to be shifted to the west to allow a horizontal area for the fence to be built. 3. The view from the residential area generally to the southeast of this property can mitigate if a screen height of elevation 906 is maintained. The choices are a 22 foot high solid wood fence or a combination of berming, fencing, and plantings. The combination plan would be more visually appealing. This choice is shown on Attachment A. BUS LOOP The grading plan shows a new bus access to the school. The Planning Commission previously reviewed and approved this project as part of the Central Middle School expansion last year. This is shown on the grading plan because both sites will be developed at the same time . LIGHTING Since the project is adjacent to residential homes, lighting height should be a maximum of 20 feet in height. Lighting should not exceed 2.0 foot candles. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Planning Staff would recommend approval of the Zoning District Amendment in the 1-2 Park Zoning District and Site Plan review based on plans dated May 7, 1993 subject to the recommendations in this Staff Report dated May 7, 1993 and subject to the following conditions: 1. Prior to Council review, the proponent shall: A. Make the required changes in the landscaping and screening plan as identified on Attachment A. 2. "Prior to Building Permit issuance, the proponent shall: A. Provide detailed storm water runoff for review by the Watershed District. B. Provide detailed storm water runoff and utility plans for review by the City Engineer. • • • • • • J2rr.~PRtU 6z ff 6f'N.1N{J) ( ( [M~rn~©u£ !f. STAT~ OF .

April 28, 1993 Mr. Mike Franzen Community Development Department City of Eden Prairie 7600 Executive Drive Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344 RE: EDEN PRAIRIE TRANSPORTATION BUILDING, SCHOOL POND (#27-75W), CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE, HENNEPIN COUNTY Dear Mr. Franzen: We have reviewed the site plans dated 4/9/93 (received 4/20/93) and variance request for the above-referenced project (S.16, T.116N, R.22W) and have the following comments to offer: 1. A variance from the city's shoreland ordinance impervious surface standard is requested. Based on the information that we received, DNR Metro waters recommends that the city deny this variance request as hardship has not been demonstrated. 2. School Pond has a Natural Environment shore land classification. The city's ordinance requires that impervious surface not exceed 30% within the shore land district (e.g. within 1000 feet of ordinary high elevation of 857.0', NGVD,1929). Both the Transportation Building site and the Central High School bus loop site far exceed this standard. The fact that the stormwater will receive some treatment does not in and of itself warrant the granting of a variance from the impervious surface requirement. 3. The proposed plan does not indicate specifically how the stormwater will be managed during the interim period before the MNDOT NURP pond referred to in the narrative is constructed. You are advised that the DNR would object to having any stormwater routed directly to School Pond. Stormwater sedimentation/treatment basins, or other appropriate stormwater treatment features, should be included in the interim stormwater management plan. If stormwater is routed directly to these waters it can cause sedimentation and/or water level bounces that are detrimental to wildlife values and water quality. 1\~1 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER • • • • • • Mr. Mike Franzen April 28, 1993 Page Two (2) ( ( 4. Appropriate erosion control measures should be taken during the construction period. The Minnesota Construction site Erosion and Sediment Control Planning Handbook (Board of water & Soil Resources and Association of Metropolitan Soil and water Conservation Districts) guidelines, or their equivalent, should be followed. 5. If construction involves dewatering in excess of 10,000 gallons per day or 1 million gallons per year, a DNR appropriations permit is required. You are advised that it typically takes approximately 60 days to process the permit application. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

American cultures were reflected, by then, in more than two hundred language families, evolved through centuries of migration, intermingling, and the building and changing of traditions. In the relatively short time since the first Europeans arrived, explorers, immigrants and slaves have brought new cultures from virtually all comers of the world, each facing the inevitable challenges of preserving the old traditions, values, and identities while adapting to the new. Over the last three centuries, the United States has developed ethical and legal commitments to cultural diversity - a bold venture to guarantee individual rights in a multicultural and multiracial society, to develop a bond of unity within the richness of diversity. That venture is bold because cultural interaction and change brings tensions, and it is the challenge of our community to channel those tensions toward creative and positive results, towards unity with diversity. An Eden Prairie Manifesto That we, as representatives of Eden Prairie businesses, city government, educational and religious institutions, accept special roles and responsibilities in fostering diversity in our community. Weare dedicated to upholding the rights of every individual in our community to freedom, dignity, and security regardless of religious affiliation, race, ethnic heritage, gender, age, sexual orientation, physical ability, or economic status. • Representing all sectors of Eden Prairie, we publicly declare our intentions: to continue the development of a multicultural community which will not tolerate acts of harassment and intolerance; • ADOPTED: to establish, communicate and encourage community standards that respect diversity; and to promote acceptance and respect for individuals in an atmosphere of caring for others.

Date Date Date Date ( c l TO: FROM: MEMORANDUM Mayor and Councilmembers Huma~ Right~:and Services Commission City of Eden Prairie SUBJECT: City's Statement of Principles· DATE: May 12,1992 On May 11, 1992, the Human Rights and Services Commission discussed a draft of a Statement of Principles for the City which the Council requested to be prepared. In response to recent events in Los Angeles, the Council wished to express its confidence and commitment that the City operates in a way WhlCh is respectful of people at all times. The Commission concurs with the Council that the events in Los Angeles were deplorable. We also believe that the City 01 Eden Prairie operates with a very high degree of integrity and respect for the individuals and organizations with which it interacts. The Commission recommends that the City Council endorse the following: STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES The City provides services, ensures compliance with laws and regulations, an: offer forums for residents to take action to address issues individually or collectively. In all cases, the City shall perform its duties with fairness, without discrimination or harassment, and with respect for the dignity, constitutional and civil rights of all people. When performing enforcement activities, the City will carefully balance al/ human interests and use the minimum intervention reasonable and necessary under the circumstances to ensure compliance. The City Council sponsors a Human Rights and Services Commission which· provides residents a forum for concerns, mediation services, and in general to facilitate resolution of problems arising from discriminatory practices. The City Council wishes to reaffirm these long-standing operating principles and restate its commitment to the importance of these values as the City government fosters a vibrant local democracy. This Statement should be viewed as one component of a larger set of principles or values by which the City Council and its staff operate. The Commission believes that this statement, which brings together a number of written and informal policies, is nevertheless one of the key foundations of the City government. We reaffirm what has been long-standing and commendable behavior in this area. CJJ/CD:pb NJS corres/stmnt of principles 5/92 • • • • • MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City council THROUGH: Carl J. Jullie City Manager FROM: Natalie Swaggert Director of Human Resources & community services DATE: May 13, 1993 SUBJECT: Proposal for New Ground Transportation Program The Community Needs and Resources Council in conjunction with Triad Transportation Inc., has developed a proposal for a new ground transportation program to serve the needs of Eden Prairie residents. The program is structured to provide transportation services to Eden Prairie residents that currently are unavailable through Southwest Metro. To help make this pilot program financially feasible and deliver services at the lowest possible cost, the city is being asked to provide to Triad Transportation Inc., at a nominal cost, two used City vehicles. Triad will assume title and full liability at the time of sale. The city Attorney's office is currently reviewing the proposal and will advise us on the legal requirements we must adhere to in implementing this program. rev 5193 • mcctran.njs ( ( I '- A PROPOSAL for EDEN PRAIRIE'S UNIQUE GROUND TRANSPORTATION NEEDS TRIAD TRANSPORTATION, INC. 2500 Washington Ave. N. Minneapolis, MN 554 I I 612-521-4444 April 15, 1993 • • • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eden Prairie has a transportation problem. Important programs and organizations such as Senior Care, PROP, and SHAPE/ESL&ABE are highly dependent on transportation. There is an unanswered need for affordable, reliable transportation to support these and other programs. Triad Transportation, Inc. proposes to solve this need working in concert with Dial-A-Ride. Triad owns and/or manages Premier Cab, Town Taxi, Town Exec, and a fleet of sedans dedicated to providing transportation for special programs. The type of program proposed for Eden Prairie is well matched with Triad's experience and strategic direction as a company. This proposal is intended to provide a high quality service (defined by service standards) which is affordable (average fare per passenger of 50% of taxi service fares) and complements rather than competes with Dial-A-Ride. The targeted audience for the proposed service begins with the organizations named above and will be expanded, upon demonstration of the program objectives, to additional . groups. Service will be provided by a dedicated fleet of full size sedans backed up by Town Taxi's. The dedicated cars will be stationed in Eden Prairie to give prompt service. Costs to passengers or sponsoring organizations will be minimized through ride sharing, standard routes, and time of day incentives. The dedicated vehicles will not be configured as taxi's and as such have lower operating expenses. These lower expenses are reflected in the proposed flat rates. The base vehicles will be retired and refurbished police cars which are proposed to be "donated" to the program by the City of Eden Prairie. This cuts operating expenses further resulting in lower rates. . It is proposed that the City of Eden Prairie direct two of their vehicles to this program vs. selling them at auction. This is equivalent to the City providing about $7,000 of support for the two year program. If the program is terminated or fails, Triad will reimburse the city for the cars or will return them to the City. . It is proposed that the organizations named above share the costs with Triad for printed materials and promotion. This cost will be about $600 for Triad and $600 for the group of organizations. Triad will assume the vehicle conversion, insurance, driver, dispatch, management, and administration costs. ( ( EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (continued) The new service can begin thirty days after a commitment is made to provide vehicles and to assist in the announcement and promotion activities. Each organization above will have a transportation coordinator who will communicate his/her needs with Triad's dispatch team. Group loading will be attempted. If groups of over three are possible, Triad will enlist the services of Dial-A-Ride. Triad will not try to displace the Dial-A- Ride service but will make every attempt to coordinate efforts with them to augment their offering. Triad will dispatch the closest vehicle and will bill the organizations for the fare based on flat rates between agreed upon locations. Triad will assign a program manager to this activity and will track progress against objectives. This progress will be reported quarterly to the organizations involved and to ·the city. ~nvoices for services will be sent weekly and monthly with each transaction documented. Usage will be controlled by organizations vs. individuals making-the request for service. Prepurchased tickets or vouchers can also be used to control access. Triad is ready now to serve the needs of Eden Prairie and the fine organizations involved and looks forward to a favorable response to this proposal. • • • STATEMENT OF NEED There is an unanswered need for affordable, reliable transportation in Eden Prairie to support programs such as Senior Care, PROP, and SHAPE / ESL & ABE. Meeting this transportation need is often key to the success of the programs. Transportation constraints limit the effectiveness of the programs and limit the audience served by the programs. Today's transportation needs are met four ways. The first option is Dial-A-Ride. While this service is excellent, there are a finite number of vehicles available and the service area is limited to Eden Prairie, Chaska, and Chanhassen. In peak times, Dial-A-Ride has to turn away as many as 40% of the requests received. Further, to venture beyond the three city geography served requires complex bus connections and/or taxicab use which precludes Dial-A-Ride as an option for most. The second option is to incorporate transportation services into specific programs. Senior Care, for example, has its own van for use in transporting people to and from doctor's appointments, special events, etc. This option is - expensive, requires management and coordination, involves . employees, insurance, maintenance, depreciation, and can take valuable resources away from the program it serves. The effectiveness of the transportation is limited to the number of vehicles and drivers available. There is no sharing of resources or expenses from program to program using this approach. The third option is to use volunteer drivers. PROP has been successful in soliciting people from the community who volunteer their time, vehicles, and often their fuel to transport others in need. This constrains PROP significantly in that they must schedule client meetings and appointments around the availability of people willing to serve as transportation providers. Substantial PROP time and energy is invested in soliciting volunteers and arranging for transportation. The fourth option is to use conventional taxicab services. There are two problems in using taxicabs. The first is the high cost associated with the service. Taxi's typically cost about $1.30 per mile and are used to service those who travel outside the Dial-A-Ride geography. These longer rides can cost $25 one way. The second problem is in the service itself. Eden Prairie does not have a strong taxicab presence; i.e., there are not many cabs stationed in the area waiting to serve. There is often a delay in getting service in that cabs are dispatched from other suburbs. ( c PROPOSED SOLUTION Triad Transportation, Inc. proposes to create a service designed to answer the identified transportation needs of Eden Prairie and the programs identified above. Objectives The service will be founded on three objectives: 1. To provide quality transportation defined through service standards which cover: Vehicles (type, appearance, maintenance) Drivers (experience, driving records, training) Added Services (passenger assistance, packages) Order Processing (process flow, access, order records) Response Time . (service expectation, recourse) Management & Accounting (process, reporting, program mgt.). 2. To provide affordable transportation with an average fare per passenger of 50% of that of conventional taxi service. 3. To complement other transportation alternatives, such as Dial-A-Ride, rather than compete or displace them. The goal is to add a service dimension --not to replace one. • • • strateqies Key strategies supporting the quality service objective (#1) and the complementary service objective (13) are: 1. To involve representatives from each of the above programs, the city of Eden Prairie, and Dial-A-Ride in the exact definition of the service. Triad will draft service standards for the review of the group to insure needs are met, quality expectations are defined and are appropriate, and the service complements rather than competes with Dial-A-Ride. 2. To differentiate the offering through: a) better service ("a cut above the rest") b) a unique name that can be positioned c) unique markings on the vehicles used d) promotion of the service strategies supporting the objective to contain costs (12)are: 1. Group requests based on timing and travel destinations to encourage ride sharing. The rates given in this proposal reflect single passenger service. Doubling the passenger load halves the rate per passenger. 2. Establish standard routes for those times and destinations where grouping is apparent. Use Dial- A-Ride for those situations where over three passengers are grouped. 3. Use full size sedans rather than vans. This provides passenger comfort and economy for situations where vans are not needed. 4. Create a small fleet dedicated to this program augmented by standard taxicabs for overflow. Keep the capital intensive resources busy. I I'--O~ \ ') J ( c strategies (continued) 5. Create time of day incentives for those periods in which the back up Town Taxi fleet is typically not busy. One way to keep capital intensive resources busy is to manage the peaks and valleys in the demand for service. Ideally, the Eden Prairie demand should peak when the taxi back up has a valley. 6. Reduce operating costs by using low or no cost ex city of Eden Prairie police cars. Triad's experience is that these vehicles have been prepared for "heavy duty" commercial use and are well suited for this program. Triad would purchase cars which would otherwise be liquidated at auction at a proposed rate of $1 each and would convert them to program vehicles at Triad's expense. This conversion includes mechanical inspection and repair, repainting and addition of special markings, installation of two way radio and/or phone equipment. The savings associated with lower cost vehicles are reflected in the transportation rates. - 7. Reduce operating costs further by operating the vehicles under the "personal transportation" vs. "taxicab" classification. By using flat rates rather than taxicab meters to determine fares, and by eliminating the top light taxi marking, the proposed vehicles are not considered taxi's. This saves about $2,000 per year in liability insurance premiums. The savings associated with lower cost insurance are reflected in the transportation rates. • • • Implementation Plan Actions 1.

Promotion of Dial-A-Ride in sedans ongoing Promotion of sedans in Dial-A-Ride vehicles ( Program Management Triad Transportation, Inc. will be responsible for overall program management. Triad will assign an individual who will be coordinating and monitoring the program on a day to day basis. This program cannot be managed like a standard taxi service. Because it is a new service and because it has unique requirements, it needs personal management attention. Triad is willing to commit that attention through its program manager and senior management staff. Each agency or organization is expected to have a transportation coordinator. Triad expects each agency or organization requesting service to group their passengers wherever and whenever possible. The request for service to Triad should include these grouping arrangements. Triad will attempt to group agency or organization requests with other organization requests to maximize the multi passenger cost savings potential. When groups exceed the sedan capacity, Dial-A-Ride will be recommended. Triad will invoice each agency or organization and "will provide detail on each transaction such that costs per trip and costs per passenger can be tracked. Triad will provide the city of Eden Prairie with these statistics on a quarterly basis reflecting the program performance across all user groups. Triad will document any and all complaints and resolutions. Triad will provide both positive and negative feedback to the participating organizations and the City of Eden Prairie. This information will be shared on a quarterly basis or upon request. Starting the second quarter, passenger comments will be solicited through cards available in the vehicles. This program will be successful in meeting the three objectives and in meeting the needs of the community only with continual monitoring and interaction with the ridership and the agency or organization representatives. • • • Budget COST ELEMENT city Triad Agencies Basic vehicles (2) $7,000 $2 0 Sales Tax/tags 0 $650 0 Vehicle conversion 0 $2,400 0 Senior Promotion 5/17 0 $400 $400 Printed Materials 0 $200 $200 Transportation 0 * rate matrix * Triad will budget for labor, insurance, dispatch fees, administrative fees. The vehicle life is expected to be two years in this program. In the event the program is canceled or Triad is terminated as a service provider before the end of the two year vehicle life, Triad will at its option: a) remove the Triad owned communication equipment and transfer ownership back to the city at no cost; or, b) pay the city the $7000 estimated value for the vehicles less depreciation for time in service based on the two year service life. If, for example, the program ended at the end of year one, Triad would pay the City $3500 for the two vehicles • .. • • • MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council THROUGH: Natalie Swaggert, Director of HR & CS FROM: Human Rights & Services Commission DATE: May 13, 1993 SUBJECT: YMCA Proposal The Commission has had the opportuni ty to review a proposal submi tted by the YMCA of Metropoli tan Minneapolis to add one female Outreach Counselor to its existing program. Bret Gemlich, current outreach Program Director, believes that a serious need exists within our community to identify and provide young women. at risk with support and link them to services . The program would be done on a pilot basis July 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993. ACTION REQUIRED: The Commission is requesting that the City Council approve the expenditure of $8,000 from the Evolving Human Services Funds for this pilot program. revS 193 mccymca.njs ,I (U' 1 i() YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLITAN MINNEAPOLIS 7355 YORK AVENUE SOUTH EDINA, MN ~701 6121 835-2567 FAX (6121835-0221 May 5, 1993 Natalie Swaggert, Director Human Resources and Community Services City of Eden Prairie 7600 Executive Drive Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Dear Ms. Swaggert: The YMCA of Metropolitan Minneapolis, Southdale YMCA Branch, is submitting this , proposal fer consideration of a ~rant itt the amo~ of ~,OOO from the !Illm~Services Commission.

This program has proven that a concerted, flexible relationship with an adult can help young people cope with the stress of our increasingly complex world and society. The program focus is on engaging young people who exhibit "high risk" behaviors, and helping them move towards healthier and more sustainable ways. We believe that the addition of a female outreach worker fits well within the Human Services Commissions objectives and will make a particular impact on the lives of young women in Eden Prairie and the rest of the Southdale service area. The Detached Work program at the Southdale Branch began approximately 10 years ago with help from the City of Eden Prairie, the Minneapolis United Way and the Southdale YMCA Annual Support Campaign. Over the years many hundreds of youth have gone through the program. Now that the program is tried and tested, and successful, it is important to expand services to be more appropriate and approachable for young women.

In addl lon 0 wor lng unort 0 ox ours, counselors being "on-call" is an unusual but necessary feature of the program. Intervention work may include individual, group or family counseling; peer support groups; advocacy; employment assistance and/or alternative recreational experiences. There is also a focus on prevention of social problems and the integration of youth into supportive environments. Examples include educational presentations, collaborative retreats (prairieFest), leadership clubs and wilderness outings. The intended results is fourfold; youth will. feel better about themselves, will learn posit:Lve ways of'interacting with' adults and 'peers, will benefit from a . positive role model outside the· horne, and will be encouraged to change negative behavior patterns.
