South Hennepin Regional Planning Agency -The Commission would soon be working with the
demographic data from the agency and then would formulate changes based on that data for future needs
in the community.
Human Rights -The Commission was planning on ways to encourage multi-cultural applicants for City
boards and commissions and would be co-sponsoring a forum with the Multi-Cultural Gender and
Disability Fair.
Americans with Disabilities Act -The Commission is working on understanding the Act, then applying
it in Eden Prairie.
Rental Housing Code -The ordinance was recently adopted after town meetings were held. Publicizing
the requirements will be the next step.
Access to Medical Care -There is concern about the difficulty of access to medical and dental care for
low income residents. The Commission planned to study and search for solutions to the issue.
Habitat for Humanity -This opportunity would be studied in the near future. The Commission was
aware that some members of the community were already involved in the program.
,vr c • i-fJ .J
City Hall/Senior Center -The Commission would be assisting in planning of the community servi.
aspects of the new City HalI facility and the Senior Center improvements.
Childcare -There would be review of concerns had been raised regarding the best use of funds for the
best program to serve the City's needs. Access and affordability were still issues of concern.
Other plans of the Commission included providing easier access to the Commission for citizens, such
as initiation of an "open forum" at the beginning of each meeting.
Issues raised in discussion with the Council included:
Provision of family care, as well as child care; accountability of service providers;
Forming partnerships with school district on situations like kids of two parent families going home to
an empty house and delivery of services to young people in Eden Prairie instead of having to use youth
services in downtown Minneapolis;
Positive ways for the two new group homes to be integrated successfully into the existing
neighborhoods; and,
The pros and cons of splitting the Commission into more than one group in order to accomplish the
established goals, as well as address issues as yet untreated in the areas of human services and human
rights. • m. DISCUSSION OF A TOWN MEETING; "Diverse Perspectives on Living in Eden Prairie"
The Commission presented a brief summary of the proposed joint City/school district Town Meeting
on discrimination in the community, explaining that the proposal was in the early stages of development.
Commissioners requested input from the Council on this.

Adjustments & Appeals. The variance reguest was to allow a deck to be constructed 85 feet from
Bryant Lake's Ordinary Hieh Water Level
Mr. and Mrs. Omlie cited several reasons for appealing the decision of the Board, including the that
the Minnesota DNR had no objections to the deck construction and the adjacent neighbors were in
favor of the deck variance. The Board's motion for approval failed on a vote of 2 - 2 -1, resulting
in denial of the request.
Mr. Omlie explained that the deck would encroach ten feet into the Shoreland setback to the exact
location of the previous deck on the property, which was removed when the home was rebuilt.
Anderson asked if the deck would ever be rebuilt as a three-season porch. Mr. Omlie responded that
this would not be necessary as their new home had been constructed with a three-season porch.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, to approve the request of Mark and Joey Omlie for
Variance No. 92-13 to allow a deck to be constructed 85 ft. from the Ordinary High Water Level of

Dietz reported on progress in planning for the proposed water tower in the Major Center Area.
Various designs for the watertower were presented by Mr. Milo Thompson, including a variety of
enhancements to the exterior treatment to take advantage of the visibility of the tower. It was
suggested that the enhancements could be financed by incorporating communications equipment into
the design for use by businesses needing antenna space.
Council members concurred that it would be worth the effort to pursue the potential for communications
equipment on top of the tower. They also concurred that an observation deck was not a priority
consideration.

Anderson moved and Harris seconded that the City Council joint
meeting with the Human Rights & Services Commission be set for
6:00 p.m. on August 18, 1992. Motion passed 5-0.
VI. UPDATE/ACTION REGARDING LAND BANKING PROGRAM
A. Purchase agreement for Eden Prairie Associates property
(Resolution No. 92-161).
B. Purchase agreement for Teman property (Resolution No. 92-
162) •
Jullie presented the items for consideration, explained the
events leading up to the discussion of these potential
•
purchases, and noted a memorandum from the Sterling Group •
which summarized the major terms of the purchases. The two
proposed transactions were lands adjacent to each other west
of Eden Road and north of Singletree Lane. Subsequent
discussion among the councilmembers, staff, and consultants
often included both sets of properties.
Jullie noted that the proposed agreement with Eden Prairie
Associates had the purchase contingent upon the execution of
a purchase agreement for the Teman property.
Harris had questions about the "consequential damages"
waiver proposed by Mr. Teman. city Attorney Pauly explained
that the seller would assume the cost of remediation for
potential environmental pollution on the property. the
seller would not assume damages due to lost income f~om
future buyers or users of the property.
Anderson was concerned about the condition of the soils
which had been recently placed on the Teman property.
Jullie responded that a preliminary environmental audit
report from Braun Engineering and Testing was available, and
a verbal report from the firm indicated that there were no
special concerns on the property. The city would need to do
a more detailed investigation and its results would have a
bearing on the final terms of agreement for purchase. Don
Brauer, representing Mr. Teman, stated that Braun would have
an addendum to the report stating that the soil came from
the Hwy. 5 improvements and that the soil did not have
hydrocarbons in it.

Tenpas noted that the terms of the sales would result in a
cost of $4.40/square-foot. He did not believe that the City
would regain its investment and lost interest earnings for
the money it would put into the deal. He stated he would
vote against both proposals because he preferred to see the
private market settle these transactions and subsequent
development of the properties. He thought it unlikely that
the city would get its money back and did not believe that
the city should be in a business with this level of risk.
He wished that there had been prior Council and public
discussion on the expectations for these properties.
Pidcock said that in october 1987 the city looked at
concepts for a "home-town downtown" and what would be
desirable for development on these properties. She believed
this was the only chance to gain control of a valuable
property in which tax-increments could be used, and at a
price less than Wal-Mart paid for property immediately to
the south. She said that the city needed to have developers
submit proposals and then have the risk shifted to the
private sector.
Anderson stated his support for the concept of a home-town
downtown as it was presented in 1987. He believed that Wal-
Mart was not an altogether desired use, and that the Council
believed that it did not have much control over the
development of the property on which it was located. This
experience should make the Council realize the desirability
to have some control. He believed that the City action
would be pro-active and noted that the city had a history of
pro-active decisions on doing things which were the best use
for the land (e.g., park land acquisition).
Harris noted that the personalities of such cities as
Chanhassen and Red Wing had been the result of public
investment in land improvements. She believed the City
should be in a position were it would retain the most
options for desired development.
Jessen believed that the acquisition of these properties was
a valid exercise of the City's authority. The use of tax-
increment funds here and for the Purgatory Creek Recreation
Area were the best use of these funding tools. Such tools
should be used to shape for future direction of the
community. He believed that the outlay of funds would be
recovered and then used for other public improvements.
A. MOTION:
Pidcock moved and Jessen seconded that the Council
adopt Resolution No. 92-161 to authorize the execution
of a purchase agreement with Eden Prairie Associates
for an amount of $419,374. Motion passed 4-1 (Tenpas
opposed) •

Harris and Anderson had questions about the possibility of
lead content in the soils which were imported from Hwy. 5,
and what financial exposure there may be to the City for
future remediation. Pauly responded that the financial
exposure may be limited to the cost of the soil tests on the
site, as the city could elect to not close on the property
if contamination was present. If the City owned and
subsequently sold the property, and the eventual buyer took
additional tests and found contaminants present, the City
would become a participant in the remediation. The City
could seek damages for remediation from Mr. Teman through
the indemnification provision in the city's agreement to buy
the property. The City would still be liable for
"consequential damages". There would still be an issue of
collectability from the current owner of the property for
remediation if necessary in the future. Harris reiterated
the consequential damages language was worrisome.
B. MOTION:
Pidcock moved and Anderson seconded that the Council
adopt Resolution No. 92-162 to authorize the execution
•
of the purchase agreement for the Teman property for an •
amount of $3,976,919. Motion passed 4-1 (Tenpas
opposed) •
VII. NEW BUSINESS
None.
VIII. ADJOURNMENT
Harris moved and Pidcock seconded that the meeting be adjourned
at 6:27 p.m. Motion passed 5-0.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources~
DATE: July 30, 1992
SUBJECT: Recommendation to Purchase Ice Resurfacer
Attached to this memorandum is a memorandum from Dave Black explaining the need to have
two ice resurfacers available to operate two ice arenas. As Mr. Black's memorandum points
out, the cost of an ice resurfacer is approximately $50,000. There is approximately a six month
wait for the resurfacer once it is ordered. Although City staff are in the process of contacting
potential sponsors for the purchase of this piece of equipment, there is no guarantee City staff
will be able to obtain any sponsors for the ice resurfacer immediately or in the near future;
therefore, staff would recommend funding this piece of equipment from the general fund reserve.
Staff will keep the Council informed as to the progress on obtaining sponsors for the ice
resurfacer.

Dave Black, Community Center Operations Supervisor
July 15, 1992
Recommendation to Purchase Ice Resurfacer for Community
Center's New Ice Arena
In order to operate two ice arenas, it is vital to have two ice
resurfacers. There are times when the ice schedule calls for
resurfacinu of each ice sheet at the same time, yet the ice
schedule will be staggered by one-half hour increments for the
most part.
The existing ice resurfacer is over ten years old and is still in
operating condition. During the course of the hockey season the
existing ice sheet is resurfaced approximately 10 -14 times a
day, with each resurface taking 15 minutes. With two arenas the
amount of resurfaces will double, which will require a new
machine with a life expectancy of 10 -20 years.
Resurfacer Informati~fl
The estimated purchase cost of a new resurfacer is $50,000.
Starf has approached business contacts for potential sponsorship
in trade for advertising to cover the purchase cost. To date,
staff has not been able to reach agreement with any of the local
businesses. Staff is continuing this p~ocess in hopes ot finding
a sponsor(s). The deadline to order a resurfacer and have it
delivered on time for the new ice arena opening is soon
approaching.
Zamboni Inc. and Olympia Ice Resurfacers have each stated that a
machine needs to be ordered by mid-August to ensure delivery by
December for the facility opening.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that formal sealed envelope bids be conducted
and completed by August 6, 1992, with a follow-up recommendation
to the City Council to make the purchase based on the low bid
during the August 18, 1992 City Council meeting.

l\-IENI0RANDlThl
TO: Mayor and City Council
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
THROUGH: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
FROM: Stuart A. Fox, Manager of Parks and Natural Resources ~
DATE: July 16, 1992
SUBJECT: Prohibition of Parking Adjacent to Staring Lake Park
For the past two seasons, the concert series at Staring Lake Park has drawn numerous large
crowds causing parking lot congestion, as well as traffic congestion in the vicinity of the park
entrance. Most recently, the concert series has drawn several large crowds in excess of 1000
people, which resulted in individuals parking their vehicles along both sides of Pioneer Trail
(County Road 1) adjacent to the Staring Lake Park entrance. The staff has witnessed several
near misses of vehicles departing the park due to the lack of site distance which as caused by
vehicles parked along the roadway. In conversations with the Hennepin County Public Works
staff they would agree to post Pioneer Trail in the vicinity of Staring Lake Park as a "no
parking, no stopping" area, but would do so only if the City Council were to pass a resolution
authorizing this to be done .
When the concert series started a few years ago contingency plans were made to direct overflow
parking to the parking areas of the Flying Cloud ballfields. This has happened on occasions in
the past such as Oktoberfest and other special events that are held on a infrequent basis at the
park. However, it appears that the concert series at Staring is drawing increasingly larger
crowds causing the immediate parking area to be filled quicker, and on several occasions this
year the park attendant and park ranger staff have had to turn individuals away from the main
parking and try to direct them to the Flying Cloud Fields for overflow parking. This is
extremely difficult to do since there are no "no parking" signs along Pioneer Trail until you get
to the area west of the intersection of Pioneer Trail and Staring Lake Parkway.
RECOMl\-IENDATION:
The staff would recommend that the "no parking" area along Pioneer Trail be extended eastward
from its current position adjacent to Flying Cloud Fields to go eastward approximately 2000
feet, which would result in a "no parking" area 1000 feet either side of the entrance to Staring
Lake Park. The recommendation would include prohibiting parking on both sides of the street,
thereby, giving sufficient site distance from those leaving the park to safely enter onto Pioneer
Trail, which has a 50 mile per hour speed limit in this area. The staff would recommend that
the Council pass Resolution No. 92-173 authorizing the County to post "no parking, no
stopping" signs in this area .

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and city Council
FROM: John D. Frane, Finance Director
THROUGH: Carl J. Jullie, City Manager
DATE: July 30, 1992
SUBJECT: Liquor Store No. 1
We have considered two proposals for leasing a liquor store in the
County Road 4 and state Highway 5 area.
The L. A. Donnay Company owns the Prairie Court Shopping Center to
the east of the Prairie Village Mall. Its proposal would give us
finished space at the west end of this center. The rent would be
$9.50 per square foot for the first 3 years; $10.50 for the next 3
. years, and $11. 50 for the last 4 years with 3 months free rent. We
would have moving costs of $5,000 to $10,000.
The owners of the Prairie Village Mall have proposed a 10-year
lease at $10.00 per square foot, which is $3,670 per month. $3,000
per month of the rent payment stream would be discounted at 9% and
paid at the beginning of the lease. The balance, which is $670 per
month, would be paid monthly, but would be adjusted based on the 5-
year T-Bill rate. (If T-Bill rates would rise, the $670 payment
would be reduced). The money to pay the discounted rent would be
borrowed from the utility Reserve Fund which would be paid back
from the Liquor Fund. The utility Reserve Fund would also receive
the benefit of a higher interest rate. The landlord will give us
a $4,000 refinishing allowance and 3 months free rent.
Recommendation:
Recommend renewing the lease at the Prairie Village Hall.

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 ~-
DATE: July 30, 1992
SUBJECT: Change Order #2 for the Eden Prairie Community Center Addition
Change Order #2 includes six items that total $10,981 in adds to the project.
SOUND BLOCK -$4,840
Item G-7 is to substitute 3600 sound Block RSC for rockface block. The major complaint over
the years in the existing ice arena is the extremely poor quality of the sound system. In an
attempt to make substantial improvements to the sound system in the second ice rink, the City
contacted several consultants to obtain opinions on methods to improve the sound system.-
Everyone of the consultants indicated that it is very difficult for any sound system to be effective
in a large building that has a metal roof, concrete walls and a concrete or ice floor. All of these
hard surfaces cause the sound to "bounce." Each of the sound consultants recommended
improving the wall surface as the best cost investment to improve the sound system. The use
of "sound blocks" in a pattern that will absorb sound will go a long way toward making the
desired improvements. The sound blocks are simply regular blocks that have four rectangular
holes in the side of the block. These blocks will be used in a pattern alternating with rock face
block on three of the walls. City staff believe the $4,840 is a good investment in tum for a
vastly improved sound system over the life of the building.
ROOF GUARANTEE -$3,0109
The existing contract called for a five year contractor's guarantee on the roof. City staff would
recommend purchasing a ten year manufacturer's guarantee on the roof for an additional $3,019.
EV AP. CONDENSER -$1,278
As explained in a previous memo, the City has been able to purchase a large capacity high
efficiency evap. condenser that should save the City between $4,000 and $6,000 per year in
operating costs. The additional cost to install this larger unit is $1,278 .
J50~
Change Order #2 -Community Center Addition
July 30, 1992
Page 2
SOUND SYSTEM CONTRACT CHANGE -$550
In the first change order, the City Council agreed to delete the $12,000 bid for a sound system
in order to contract with Clarity Sound Incorporated to add a similar sound system, as well as
provide improvements to the existing sound system in the existing rink at a $2,000 savings.
There is an additional $550 charge to the general contractor to make the necessary electrical
connections for changes to the existing system.
MODIFY HARDWARE -$719
After additional review of the plans for door hardware, City staff recommend that the doors
between the existing and the future arena provide windows in the doors as there will be a
significant amount of traffic between those arenas. The cost to change those four doors totals
$719.
RELOCATE TELEPHONE CABLE -$575
The existing telephone cable from the Community Center had to be relocated due to the
construction of the addition. The Telephone Company informed us that it was the City's cost-
for relocating that cable. The cost for the new trench and relocating the cable was $575 .
City staff recommends Council approval of these change orders.

BACKGROUND
This site is currently guided both Medium Density Residential and Community Commercial.
A portion of the site was reguided from Medium Density to Community Commercial based on
a plan for a funeral home approved by the City in 1990.
The current request is to change the Comprehensive Guide Plan on .38 acres of Medium Density
(an existing Duplex) and 1.2 acres of Community Commercial to Neighborhood Commercial.
Neighborhood Commercial is the appropriate land use designation for a Walgreens Store. The
funeral home was guided Community Commercial because it served a much larger area than an
immediate neighborhood.
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN CHANGE
Reasons for considering the change in the Comprehensive Guide Plan may be:
1. The size of the area is small at 1.58 acres. The Guide Plan would allow a
Neighborhood Commercial area up to 50,000 sq. feet. Most Neighborhood
Commercial sites are 2 acres or less.
2. The base area ratio is .18 which is less than the code maximum of .20.
3. Walgreens is a low intensity commercial use as compared to a gas station,
restaurant, funeral home or other high retail uses.
4. A 50 foot landscape buffer is provided to transition to the residential area to the
west. There is no loading or trash areas facing the residential area.
5. Traffic impacts from a Walgreens Store are low and spread out throughout the
day as compared to restaurants, banks or funeral homes which have high peak
hour periods.
6. This is a special design Walgreens Drug Store. Walgreens Super Stores are
located in Strip Malls and open 24 hours a day. A typical Walgreens Drug Store
is a 13,000 sq. ft. footprint on the first floor. This drug store is 10,000 sq. ft.
on the first floor, and 3,450 sq. ft. within the basement area. This smaller
building on the first floor helps create a larger buffer area to the west.

SITE PLAN
( (
Jhe site plan depicts a 1 story, 13,450 sq. ft. building on 1.3 net acres of land at a .18 base area
ratio. Neighborhood commercial zoning would allow up to a .20 base area ratio. Building and
parking areas meet the setback requirements in the Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District.
ACCESS
Access to this site is primarily from Terrey Pine Drive at a driveway entrance setback 180 feet
from the intersection at County Road 4. The Engineering minimum requirements for separation
between intersections on a road of this type is 150 feet. There is a right-in right-out access on
County Road 4, 150 feet south of the intersection of Terrey Pine Drive. There is a medium in
County Road 4 which blocks left turns. The concrete island (porkchop) should be taken out
because it is a maintenance problem.
PARKING
The City Code requirement for a 13,480 sq. ft. building is 81 parking spaces. Walgreens typical
parking demand is 25 to 30 spaces. Walgreens has provided parking information which indicates
on two sites located in Minneapolis and st. Paul a parking demand of 23 to 28. The problem
with these locations is that they are located on a bus line and people can walk to the site.
City staff has visited a suburban "free-standing" store in Crystal and Burnsville, each having 25
parking spaces. Parking did not appear to be a problem. Walgreen stores do not have peak
parking demands like restaurants, banks or gas stations because customers (mostly for
prescriptions) shop throughout the day.
The provision of 41 parking spaces should be adequate to meet parking demands. If the City
desired Walgreens to provide the required number of parking spaces, this would be possible,
however the building would have to be located to the minimum setback on the west property line
thereby eliminating the necessary transition between residential and commercial.
If the store is converted to another use, long range parking demand may be a problem.
Walgreens has indicated that they will put a parking restriction on the property based on the
parking area provided. This means anyone requiring another use of the property with a higher
parking demand would not be possible and would severely limit choices of different uses for the
property. The site plan as proposed would not be attractive to users with high parking demand

such as restaurants, banks, or gas stations. A likely other use of the building based upon
parking provided would be office, medical, dental or light retail. The problem with parking in
the long-term may be more of a problem for the owner in leasing the property to other uses
should Walgreens leave the site in the future.
GRADING
Grading will remove the existing duplex house, the existing house on the property, and 92" of
significant trees on the property. Since these trees were planted as part of the original
farmstead, and not virgin trees, no tree replacement should be required.
LANDSCAPING
•
The landscaping requirements for a project of this type would be based upon a caliper inch
requirement based on building square footage, screening of parking areas, and transition to the
west. The caliper inch requirement based on building sq. footage is 42 inches. The landscaping
requirement for screening of parking areas and transition is based upon the impact on City
streets and the surrounding neighborhood. The landscaping as proposed screens parking areas
and provides a significant buffer to the residential areas to the west. Since the site plan relies •
heavily upon the use of plant material to create a transition to the residential areas and to screen
parking areas, an irrigation system should be required.
ARCHITECTURE
The building will be constructed primarily of face brick and stucco in compliance with the City
code. The sloped parapet roof gives a residential appearance while at the same time screening
rooftop mechanical equipment from view from the residential areas.
TRASH
The trash areas will be located inside of the building. This is consistent with recommendations
of the trash enclosure study approved by the Planning Commission/City Council which
recommended that trash enclosures be inside of the building for small free standing buildings.
LIGHTING
No lights are proposed on the western portion of the property. Parking lot lighting in the front
of the building shall be no greater than 20 feet high and downcast cutoff luminaries. 20 foot
high lights is the Eden Prairie standard for commercial projects near residential areas.

UTILITIES
( (
Sewer, water and storm sewer are immediately adjacent to the site and Terrey Pine Drive and
County Road 4.
SIDEW ALKS/TRAILS
There is an existing 8 foot wide bituminous trail along County Road 4 and a 5 foot wide
concrete sidewalk along Terrey Pine Drive. There should be a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk
connection from Terrey Pine Drive to the building.
TRANSITION
The change in the Comprehensive Guide Plan is not so much a question of the balance of land
uses in the community, but is more of a site specific question determining if a neighborhood
commercial area can fit in next to a residential area. The impacts on the properties to the south
and west can be mitigated. By preserving the existing tree stand toward Elim Shores, and
creating a large berm area with heavy plantings to the west, can provide adequate visual
transition which will down play the visual impacts of a commercial building near a residential
area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
If the Planning Commission feels that compelling reasons have been provided for changing the
Comprehensive Guide Plan and that the impacts of a neighborhood commercial use near a
residential area have been mitigated by the site plan as proposed, then one option would be to
recommend approval of the Comprehensive Guide Plan change from medium density and
community commercial to neighborhood commercial, rezoning from medium density and
community commercial to neighborhood commercial, site plan review and preliminary plat based
on plans dated July 10, 1992 subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report dated July 10,
1992 and based upon the following conditions:
1. Prior to final plat review the proponent shall submit for review and approval
a.
b.
A detailed storm water runoff, erosion control and utility plan for review
by the City Engineer.
Submit detailed storm water runoff and erosion control plans for review
by the Watershed District.

adjoining residential areas cannot be mitigated by the plan as proposed, then one option would
be to recommend denial of the project as proposed.

RE: Walgreen Drug Store Proposal
Dear Eden Prairie Planning Commission:
June 6, 1992
As owner and director of the neighboring Prairie Village Pet
Hospital, I would like to express my support of the Walgreen Drug
Store Proposal. Walgreens is a solid company with a favorable
reputation. They would be an asset to the Terrey Pine neighborhood
and the city of Eden Prairie.
I think it is appropriate to change the zoning from Medium
Density Residential to Neighborhood Commercial, since it is
unlikely that many people would want to live at such a busy
intersection.
There is an ever-growing number of residents in the southwest
corner of Eden Prairie that do not currently have convenient
drugstore access. Their current alternative, Snyders at the
Prairie Village Mall, is often unable to keep up with their high
daily demand for prescriptions.
Our veterinary practice is located one block from the proposed
site. A number of health related offices are located within a
block. Our patients, as well as those of the neighboring medical,
dentist(2), orthodontist, and chiropractic clinics would be well
served by such a convenient place to fill their prescriptions.
Senior citizens in the neighboring residence would not need to
cross the highway to have their needs met.
For these reasons, I encourage you to agree to the Walgreen Drug
Store Proposal.

The Comprehensive Guide Plan chang~ required for this development
proposal is appropriate for the !ollowing reasons:
The use of the site is Neighborhood Connnercial with building
and site plans which gave been specially customized for
the site with input from City Staff. The design and
materials have been chosen to maximize the pUilding's
residential features. Therefore, this property will be
a nice, appropriate buffer l:latween heavier traveled
commercial uses to the north and east and residential
uses south and west.
To al~ow this development, one which would be the Neighborhood
Commercial buffer, minimizing the impact on the
neighborhood, and to meet zoning Code requirements, it is
necessary to increase the site size, thereby adding the
currently residential lot which we are requesting be re-
guided.
The center of the street known as Terrey Pine Court, to the
northwest of the subject, has become the established
dividing line between residential use on the west and
commercial uses on the east. If that line is extended
south it would be the western boundary of the proposed
•
development site, again with commercial uses east and •
residential uses west. Therefore, this change is
compatible with the neighl::lorhood and is, in fact, an
extension of existing land uses. (Snown on attached
Neighborhood Map)
The proposed development has a ~uilding setback of ___ feet from
the adjacent residential development, Which by Zoning-
Code is only required to be a 10 foot Rear Yard Setback.
In addition, this development has extensive landscaping
in the Rear Yard which again is in excess of that
required ~y Code, which was given careful consideration
regarding placement of plantings and Sight lines, also
tor the purpose of minimizing the impact on the adjoining
residential use.
The surrounding land use wil1 ~e basically unaffected by this Plan
Change. Sight lines· will l:le of the extensive
landscaping. If in fact a portion of the building were
seen, the view would be of a brick wall. All activity is
scheduled for the front of the building and away from the
residential sight line.
All proposed site and building plans contemplate all services to
the front of the building. There is no Side or rear
access to the building. Water run-off has been carefully
planned to Terrey pine Drive per City staff direction •
The only change is moving one access point away from the
townhouses to the east to become a side entrance to
Walgreen's parking lot. This would be the main •

a.utomobile entrance and exit point and is well away from
residentia1 development) and will result in the least
traffic impact on the neighborhood. The curbcut onto
County Road 4, will be a right-in/right-out only. The
projected aaily trip count to this site is 200/400 cars
per day, spaced fairly evenly throughout the day.
Walgreens, due to their pharmacy business revolving
around Doctor appointments space throughout the day, does
not have peak hours form a traffic standpoint.
Typically, you might see 8-12 cars maximum pa.rKed in a
comparable, sUburban Walgreens store. It is our
understanding that the city Staff have researched
comparable stores and fee1 comfortable with the very
minimal traffic impact.
The only "landmark" features of this property, at least those
expressed to us by neighbors, is the stand of trees to
the east of the property which actually are part of El1m
Shores property. Nothing that is proposed will adversely
affect those trees in any way.
To summarize, this comprehensive Guide Plan change is requested to
allow for development of a Walgreens store, a user with limited
traffic, deSigned and developed to blend in with the residential
neighborhood and as a buffer to higher density commeroial uses to
the north and east. This Guide Plan change allows for an extension
of the site to allow for large setback and extensive landsoaping to
buffer zones between the commeroial and residential neighborhood .

B. W ALGREENS by Walgreens. Request for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Medium
Density Residential and Community Commercial to NeighborhoodCommercial on 1.58 acres.
Zoning District Change from RM-6.5 to Neighborhood Commercial on .38 acres, Zoning
District Change from Community Commercial to Neighborhood Commercial on 1.2 acres,
Preliminary Plat of 1.58 acres into one lot. Site Plan Review on 1.58 acres. Location: County
Road 4 and Terrey Pine Drive.
Franzen reported that a proposal for a funeral home had been approved on this site
approximately 2 years ago, which resulted in the Guide Plan Change to Commercial from the
previously zoned residential. The funeral home project never proceeded. Walgreens inquired
about the proposed site approximately 6 months ago. As part of the proposal an adjacent duplex
would be purchased by the proponent and taken down. The funeral home use was designated
as regional, but Walgreens would be designated as a neighborhood use. Franzen believed that
neighborhood-commercial was a better designation for the property.
John Kohler, architect for the proponent, presented the plans. The building would located
approximately 54 feet from the western property line. An additional area to the west had been
provided for a buffer and landscaping. Conifer trees would be used for screening and the
existing trees between Elim Shores and the proposed project would be maintained. Berms would
be added to both the front and the back of the facility. Activity on the site would be directed
toward Eden Prairie Road. The trash containers would be enclosed within the building.
Clinton asked how the trash would be disposed of. Kohler replied that Walgreens sponsored a.
recycling program and there would be very little trash which would be hauled out to the truck
at the time of pickup.
Kohler stated that the lighting would be contained on the site and would consist of 20 foot high
downcast lighting. The architecture of the building would be more on the residential side and
would be compatible with the Elim Shores facility. The exterior building material would be
brick with a stucco sign band. A shingle roof would be provided to add to the residential
character. The brick would be similar to the Elim Shores building. Three rows of conifers at
10 to 12 feet high would be planted for screening.
Hawkins asked if there would be any danger of creating water pools on the site. Kohler replied
that a swail would run to Terrey Pine Drive.
Howard Bergerud, representing the proponent, reported that all access and traffic would be
directed to the front of the building. Merchandise was delivered once a week and the unloading
would take approximately 1 to 2 hours. A 54 foot buffer would be provided between the project
and the residents. The traffic generated by the Walgreens was estimated at approximately 200
to 400 trips a day and the traffic would not be concentrated during the rush hour. Howard
believed that the Walgreens project would provide a low density use. The mechanical equipment
would be below the roof line and the residents would not be able to see much of the building
due to the extensive screening. Howard emphasized that Walgreens stored no trash on the
outside of the building. The use of the building would be deeded to be limited to only drUg.
store use.
Kardell asked if the proponent had had neighborhood meetings. Howard replied that the
proponent had spoken with Elim Shores representatives and adjacent residents and also had
addressed any questions when asked by residents.
Hawkins asked how significant the food mart portion was for Walgreens. Howard replied that
the food mart represented only a small portion of the facility the main focus was on health and
beauty aids and the pharmacy. Hawkins asked if Walgreens would be viewed as a small grocery
store. Howard replied that it would be convenience items only.
Wissner asked if a marketing study had shown that a drug store was needed in this area.
Howard replied that the study had shown that residents were driving quite a distance for
pharmacy items. Wissner asked if Walgreens could have been located closer to or associated
with one of the medical facilities in the area. Howard replied that Walgreens had been looking
for a site in Eden Prairie for 2 to 3 years and believed this location to be appropriate.
Norman asked if there would be a sidewalk between Walgreens and Elim Shores. Kohler replied
that the sidewalk would be extended.
Wissner asked if Walgreens had a delivery service for the pharmacy items. Howard replied for

short distances only.
Hawkins believed that 2 of the parking stalls would interfere with the delivery trucks. Kholer
replied that the delivery truck was there only once a week and would wait if there was a
problem.
Clinton asked if there could be a restricted area for the delivery truck. Howard replied that all
deliveries came from Walgreens warehouses and the deliveries were scheduled for early in the
morning.
Franzen reported that in the Comprehensive Guide Plan there were no preplanned areas for
neighborhood commercial development. Neighborhood commercial sites were determined by
need and based on how well the facility would fit in with the neighborhood. Franzen stated that
an appropriate transition was required by the City. A 50 foot setback was proposed for
buffering which exceeded the City'S requirements. The plant material proposed would be
staggered and would be 10 to 12 feet tall when planted. A security deposit bonding the
landscape material would be required. Franzen noted that the residential area was primarily to
the west. Walgreens would be a low traffic producer, generating approximately 40 trips in and
out. The funeral home project had expected approximately 80 trips in and out and another type
of retail business would estimate approximately 87 trips.
Franzen reported that it was already difficult to get out of Terrey Pine Drive. The City has
requested a signal when County Road 4 was upgraded. The County did not agree but agree to
install the electrical conduit. The intersection did not meet signal warrants at this time;
however, another study could be done. Franzen added that City Staff did recognize that this
intersection was conjested .
Franzen reported that a parking space variance request would be needed. Because of the
basement, 81 spaces would be needed. Franzen stated that he had spoken with other
communities where Walgreens were located and believed that 41 spaces would be adequate.
Franzen reported that Walgreens had agreed to a deed restriction for the use of the facility.
Office use would be acceptable if Walgreens did leave the area.
Tom Halloran, 16507 Terrey Pine Drive, stated concern for the neighborhood. He added that
he had been impressed with the cooperation of Walgreens to answer questions. Halloran asked
how many parking stalls would actually be required. Franzen replied 41. Halloran believed that
the further away the parking stalls were from the residents the better. Halloran stated that the
intersection was a big problem. He noted that Terrey Pine Drive had been a cul-de-sac and then
it was opened up at the west end which he believed was the cause of many of the traffic
problems. Halloran also noted that a lot of traffic was generated from the Super America
station. Halloran stated concern about what would happen if or when Walgreens left the site and
what guarantees the residents had. Halloran asked if there could be an option to restrict parking.
Howard replied that Walgreens could live with less parking; however, it was trying to meet City
requirements. Howard stated that Walgreens typically signed a 20 year lease and was willing
to have a deed restriction which would limit the use of the facility for a drug store only. Any
other use would require approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. Hawkins noted
that 41 parking spaces was based on a reduction of City requirements already. Howard noted
/~S/ v
that there was actually a lot of storage throughout the facility and believed that 41 spaces would
be adequate.
Clinton stated that he would like to see the building moved further to the east as recommendl.
Halloran believed that a 54 foot buffer was reasonable, but would like to see the building moved
further east if possible. Halloran stated that he was not opposed to Walgreens. He would like
to see as many trees as possible between his home and the development.
Norman asked what the hours of operation would be. Howard replied between 9 AM and 9 PM.
Howard believed that Walgreens would actually buffer the traffic noise from County Road 4 for
the residents.
Franzen stated that a parking setback variance could be granted and proof of parking designated
in the green space. This would provide a 71 foot buffer. 30 parking spaces would be provided
on the asphalt.
Kohler stated that the proponent would not want a greater slope than 3 to 1 and believed that
this would cut into the berm if the building and parking spaces moved.
Hawkins believed that it was important to have the green space around the entire facility.
Franzen stated that a retaining wall could be used to the berm; however, this would be an
additional cost to Walgreens. Franzen noted that this would be a trade-off situation.
Hawkins asked Halloran if he was in favor of a traffic light at the intersection or not in fav.
Halloran asked if the City was planning to connect Terrey Pine Drive to Highway 5.
Kardell asked why the cul-de-sac was opened in the first place.
Franzen replied that there would be access to Highway 5. The road was opened up to provide
emergency vehicle access.
Norman asked who requested that the cul-de-sac be opened. Franzen replied that this was part
of the Highway 5 upgrade. Franzen added that the residents could appear before the City
Council at any time on the issue of the cul-de-sac. The residents would need to request time to
speak in advance of the meeting. Franzen believed that directing this issue to the City Council
would be the appropriate forum.
Halloran stated that he would like to see Franzen's proposal for moving the building to provide
the 71 foot buffer go forward.
Clinton asked Halloran what his feelings were on the deed restriction. Halloran replied that he
was in favor of the restriction and believed it to be the best alternative for protection.
Norman believed that Walgreens would be an asset for Elim Shores. • Franzen reported that the funeral home proposal had been closer to the residents and did not
•
•
•
have as much of a buffer zone. Franzen believed that the plan as proposed was an improvement
over the funeral home proposal.
Wissner was concerned about the traffic .
Norman asked if the Planning Commission could recommend that a traffic study be conducted
on this intersection. Franzen replied yes.
Denny Nesbitt, 16546 Terrey Pine Drive, stated that the Super America station was the
neighborhoods biggest concern. He believed that it had been an intrusion on the neighborhood
since day one. Nesbitt noted that the City had just put a new seal coat on Terrey Pine Drive
a week ago and it was almost all gone already because of the traffic. Nesbitt stated that he was
not opposed to Walgreens. Nesbitt requested that no parking signs be placed on Terrey Pine
Drive. Traffic and noise from Super America a major issue for neighbors. Nesbitt believed that
it was important for residents to try to protect themselves from these intrusions before the
development and not after the damage was already done. Nesbitt noted that he lived only 150
feet from the proposed project and had to request information; he would have liked to have been
informed earlier.
Clinton asked for the definition of neighborhood commercial. Franzen replied that neighborhood
commercial was to service an area within 1.5 miles of the site and provide daily services.
Franzen noted that Super America was part of older zoning requirements and would not be
considered a neighborhood commercial use.
Nesbitt stated that the original station did serve the neighborhood; it only had 6 to 8 pumps and
the access was not as it is today. The traffic for the Super America comes through the
neighborhood. Nesbitt asked if no U-Turn signs could also be installed.
Hawkins asked for further information on what process opened up this driveway to create the
traffic problems and how much of the traffic problems in the area was attributed to Super
America.
Earl Ross, 16503 Terrey Pine Drive, stated that his home was adjacent to the proposed site.
He complimented Walgreens on their work with neighbors in addressing their concerns. Ross
believed that the Walgreens development would help increase his property value and would also
be a convenience. The only reason for opposition would be an increase in traffic. Ross
suggested that the access from Super America be blocked and Terrey Pine Circle be turned back
into just that; a circle. Ross stated that he had been opposed to the project in the beginning, but
now believed that Walgreens had developed a nice plan.
Norman asked if the Planning Commission could recommend that a traffic study be conducted
as part of the Walgreens proposal or as a separate issue. Franzen replied that there had been
several suggestions on how to deal with the traffic issue; no U-Turn signs, block the roadway,
request a study for signal warrant, and approach Super America to see what they would be
willing to do. These issues were related to the project as part of the overall traffic pattern .
Nesbitt asked if the Planning Commission could pass the neighbors comments on to the City
Council. Norman replied yes.
Nancy Soman, representing Elim Shores, stated that the residents of Elim Shores were excitedA
about the proposal. Soman presented a petition with 20 signatures in support of the project."
Soman read a letter of support for the Walgreens project from the President of Elim Shores.
Wissner stated at that first glance she had been opposed to the project and questioned the need
for a Walgreens in this location; however, after hearing the presentation she would support the
project.
Clinton stated that he would be in support of the project if modifications to address the traffic
issues could be incorporated.
Hawkins stated that he was inclined to support the project and believed that Walgreens would
be good corporate citizens. Hawkins complimented the residents for their involvement in
helping to shape this plan. Hawkins stated that he would not be in favor of moving the building
further to the east as he believed that it would jeopardize the berm along Eden Prairie Road.
Hawkins believed that the 54 foot buffer area being well landscaped as proposed would be
adequate. Hawkins supported the decision to request a traffic study for the area.
Kardell stated that at first she was hesitant to approve the proposal because of the traffic issues.
Kardell said that she would like the idea to move the building further to the east explored further
by Staff. Kardell believed that the traffic issue should be strongly addressed as a separate
motion.
Howard stated that there were a lot of reasons for locating the building where it was and adde.
that Walgreens believed that the extra parking spaces were important. Howard said that
Walgreens did not want customers parking on the street. He noted that Walgreens had looked
at several different plans with the building in different locations and believed the current
proposal to be the best location. Howard believed that the plan as proposed was a balanced plan
on all sides and provided screening and buffering to all affected areas.

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 500 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 23.5 acres is
1.70 units per acre. The guide plan would allow up to 2.5 units per acre.
All of the lots in the subdivision meet the minimum requirements of the Rl-13.5 Zoning District
for lot size, lot depth and street frontage. Lot 13, Block 2 does not meet the minimum 150 foot
lot depth adjacent to the Hennepin County Light Rail Authority Line. Because of the change
from a through street to a cul-de-sac, it was not possible to meet the 150 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 ( ( (
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.

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. 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 .

UTILITIES
( ( ( (
Water is available to this site from Candlewood Parkway on the east side of the Hennepin
County Regional Railroad authority property. 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.
SIDEW ALKS 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
pun 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 comer, 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.

Interstate 212 will cross the City between this housing development and the park on land

connecting Candlewood Parkway with the park road near the soccer fields. This temporary
access would keep the park accessible until the permanent bridge over 212 is completed. Staff
would recommend the developer dedicate an easement across the future 212 right-of-way for a
temporary roadway and trail to be built by the City.

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 LAWCON 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
certainly remain. Obviously, the existing eco system will be radically altered; 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 Rl-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.

BACKGROUND
Monday night's Planning Commission meeting should be used for presentation by the proponent,
receiving input from surrounding neighbors and discussion of the following issues:
1. 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 RI-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 "the big woods" •
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 MILLER PARK
Miller Park is located directly north of this project on the other side of Scenic Heights Road and
2 •
•
•
•
( (
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\1MENDATION
After discussion of the above issues, the Planning Commission should consider continuing the

HISTORY OF THE TREE POLICY AND 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 residentiai. 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 W 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.

The following are general observations about development and wooded areas of the 10 projects
surveyed in detail.

3.
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.
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.)
Tree loss increases general I y as lot sizes get smaller. Blossom Ridge had a 49.2 % tree
loss. Lot sizes averaged 14,000 square feet.
5
•
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 Rl-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

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.
HOW DOES FAIRFIELD WEST COMPARE WITH 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.
HOW CAN THE FAIRFIELD WEST SUBDIVISION BE CHANGED TO PRESERVE 75%
OF THE 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) .

July 16, 1992
To: Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commissioners.
From: Scott Wallace, 12465 Sunnybrook Road.
Regarding: Protection Alternatives.
Dear Commissioners,
Protecting natural resources is a complex issue. During
our discussions on the Minnesota River Bluffs, Tom Larson,
of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, presented the enclosed
list of "Protection Alternatives" to the members of the
Bluff Committee. I pass them along to you in the hope that
ways can be found to protect unique ecosystems remaining in
Eden Prairie. I understand that the perceived value of woods
and wetlands by the public fall low on the list of priorities.
Economics are forcing development of the last large areas needed
for wildlife habitat.
It js difficult to see them go without every attempt
to find alternatives if they exist. Sometime in the near future
weill all be looking for a place to walk in a woods or watch
wetland creatures to escape from the hectic pace of life in
a metropolitan area,and there won't be any left.It already
seems to me that this is so. Natural areas have a different
character than parks that are heavily used by people for
recreation. Natural areas can be aesthetically pleasing,
relatively quiet and provide solitude. While those qualities
may not appeal to the majority today,I beleive there will
come a time when they are desperately sought after.
Thousands of years of evolution are required to create
an ecosystem that can support biodiversity. Wildlife habitat
lost today will not be re-created during our lifetimes.
It is imperative to save what we can, yet it seems that we
have to decide upon the fate of natural areas in a time frame
dominated by investment returns.
We need long-range perspectives and thick wallets.
One without the other leaves us where we are now. "Isn't
that a lovely wooded wetland area, isn I t it C]"shame to lose?"
Sincerely I Am,
Scott ~vallace

To: Planning Commission Members
From: Scott Wallace, 12465 Sunnybrook Road
Subject: Fairfield West
Dear Commissioners and Planning Staff,
On July 3, 1992, my wife Julie and I had the opportunity
to walk through the remnant of the "Big Woods" located south
of Mitchell Lake being considered for a housing development
tonight. How curious it was to enter the cool,quiet environment
on a hot day and see the strange flourescent ribbons on all
the large sugar maple, basswood and red oak trees. The forest
reminded me of the DNR's Scientific and Natural Area called
"Woesfeld Woods" that we visited when participating in a field
ecology course at Metropolitan State University.
•
There used to be many small wooded areas to escape into
when I grew up in the Metro area. Now they have to be designated
as areas of special concern to be saved. As we walked under •
the cover of these beautiful trees,I wondered why there weren't
others enjoying a walk through this special woods. Perhaps
they have all gone north for the weekend? Maybe this generation
is too busy to know there is such a wonderland trip away from
it all right here in Eden Prairie.
The size of this Fairfield West development project
excludes it from close scrutiny by the DNR, Met Council. or
an EAW. Therefore, the decision falls into the hands of this
Commission.I've had the opportunity to read the "Strategic
Plan" proposed to the EdenPrairie City Council, June 16, 1992.
Preservation of Natural Features, Natural Amenities, and
a desire to be proactive caught my attention.
I would strongly recommend that this Planning Commission
develop an overall Environmental Policy Plan (%forested area,
steep slope, wildlife habitat ... ) before approving the
alteration of the last remaining 40% of Eden Prairie. As evidence
of the unique nature of these woods, I offer the proof
on the topographic maps I present to you tonight.
Sincerely I Am,

Appendix B
INTRODUCTION
TAXATION
•
A variety or land preservation and protection techniques exist
which can be used in the lower Minnesota River Valley. The
techniques discussed vary in the regree to which they afford
protection to the resource and range from indirect influence
on land we to direct control of some or all of the possible uses
for a given area.
The techniques discussed will focus on options and
opportunities for citizen and community involvement in
protecting the lower Minnesota River Valley. These
techniques can be used individually or in concert to crea te a
blanket or tapestry which affords comprehensive protection to
the valley resources. The reasons for employing a variety of
methods are to provide flexibility in the resource protection
process, save money, and allow selection of a method or
methods most suitable for the protection objective at hand.
The protection methods discussed in this appendix have
advantages and disadvantages, most of which center on the
purchase cost, acceptability to the landowner, the impact on
muniCipal taxes, operation and maintenance of the properties,
and adherence to preserva tion agreements over the long term.
In any case, continued citizen and government involvement is
needed to support the effort to protect the Minnesota Valley.
Citizens can become involved at any level of the valley
protection effort and by encouraging their city, regional, and
state representatives to do the same. Government can
influence land use decisions and ensure the continued
existence of important resources by using three basic powers:
-taxation, regulation, and acquisition. The following table
summarizes and compares the various methods available for
protecting lower Minnesota River Valley lands.
The method by which real property is taxed can delay the
pressure to develop property and provide incentives for
restoring or even donating important natural and cultural
resources. Property tax, federal estate tax, and state
inheritance tax can be impacted by the following methods to
create positive incentives which discourage development on
lands which contain important natural and cultural resources.
These tax incentives are realized through preferrcntial
assessments, deferred taxa tion, restrictive agreements, and
other more specific incentives. Incentives for restoring or
donating resources are ruso offered through deductions and tax
shelter stemming from private donations of real property.

Preferential
Assessment
Deferred Taxation
Appendix B
Preferential assessment reduces taxes by requiring
assessors to assess eligible land on the basis of some current
use value versus current market value. Three options for
preferential assessment can be used in the lower Minnesota
Valley.
1. MS 272.67 permits any local unit of government, except
those in Hennepin County, to divide its city into urban and
rural services areas. While only the local tax assessor has the
authority over the classification or reclassification of
property, the community can establish a tax district which
would receive preferential assessment. Thus, property which
is rur.al in character and ooes not receive urban services can
be taxed at a rural rate.
2. Property owners who have wetlands or native prairie on
their property may claim them exempt from taxa tion. In the
case of native prairie, application for exemption mUit be made
to the coun ty assessor and the prairie area evaluated by the .
Department of Natural Resources (MS 272.02).
Exemption of wetlands and native prairie from taxation does
not diminish any right of ownership or grant the public any
additional or greater right of access to those lands.
3. The wetlands and native prairie credit programs, authorized
by MS 273.115 and 273.116 respectively, provide an incentive
for preserving these natural resources. As long as owners
preserve the wetland or native prairie, they are eligible to
receive a credit on the taxes paid on the remainder of their
property.
To qualify for the program, the property owner must initially
qualify for the exem ptions outlined above and retain the
wetland or native prairie for the year during which credit is
received. As wi th the exem ptions ou tIined above, the county
assessor shall be responsible for administering the tax credi t
program.
Deferred taxa tion is similar to preferential assessment except
that a sanction is applied if land is converted to a non-eligible
use. The sanction often involves the repayment of some or all
of the taxes which have been saved prior to the conversion of
the land. One option for deferred taxa tion can be used in the
lower Minnesota Valley.
1. Green Acres Tax Option provides farmers a way to be taxed
at the agricultural value of their property (MS 273.1 n. The
county assessor oversees the program through which the tax
option is administered. Once the lund is enrolled in the
program, special assessments associated with public capital
expenditures are deferred as long a'i the property qualifies for
Green Acres treatment.
sal_i _____________________ l~_:~_I ________ --__ . 163
Appendix 8
Res trictive -----Agreement
Other Tax ---Incentives
164
A restrictive agreement includes both preferential • assessment and, in most cases, a sanction similar to thooe used
in deferred taxation. In addition, a restrictive agreement
requires the property owners to sign a contract in which they
agree to retain the land in eligible uses for a certain period of
time. At present only one option for restrictive agreements
can be used in the lower fyJinnesota Valley.
1. The Metropolitan Agricultural Preserves Act establishes a
policy and program for preserving agricultural lands in the
metropolitan area (MS 473). The program is rooted in the
local and regional comprehensive planning process outlined in
the MetropolitDJl Land Use Planning Act (MS 473.851).
Through the Agricultural Preserves Program, property owners
of land designated for long term agricultural use in a local
comprehensive plan may apply to the local planning and zoning
authority for acceptance to the program. The program
requires owners to enter a restrictive agreement which sta tes
that the land will be kept in agricultural use for a minimum of
eight years. Once enrolled in the program, the land is taxed
according to its agricultural use and is exem pt from the
political and economic factors which influence land use or are
detrimental to productive farm operations in the metropolitan
area. Should it be determined that the agricultural preserve.'
not longer desirable, either the landowner or the local
government can terminate the agreement and the preserve
expires eight years from the date of notification.
Both state and federal tax laws can provide incentives to
priva te individuals and corpora tions to preserve~ restore, or
donate natural and cultural resources. These incentives are
realized through the net cash return after taxes that occurs
through deductions and the tax shel ter effect of donating real
property. At present, three incentives exist which have
applica tion in the lower Minnesota Valley.
1. The Federal Tax Reform Act of 1976 (PL 94-455, Sec. 2124)
provides two incentives for the rehabilitation of historic
buildings:
a. The first incentive allows the owner of a "certified
historic structure to amortize the cost of a "certified
rehabilita tion" in lieu of otherwise allowable deprecia tion
deductions for income tax purposes.
b. The second incentive allows the owner to take
accelerated depreciation, if the property in question
qualifies as a "substantially rehabilitated historic
property." A substllI1tially rehabilitated historic property
is an'y.certified.~ist~ric structure for which the cost of •
certified rehabliltatlOn exceeds either $5,000 or the
adjusted basis of the property, whichever is greater.
'7
'"
REGULATION
Appendix B
2. The Inter'nal Revenue Code (Chapter 170F3b) encourages
the making of charitable contributions by allowing an
individual a deduction agaiffit ordinary income equal (with
certain exceptions) to the value of the cbnation. Corporations
can deduct the value of gifts of property worth up to 5 percent
of the company's net income before taxes.
Both individuals and corporations are able to spread the value
of their donation over five years following the gift. The result
is that a taxpayer's liability is reduced, possibly by a
considerable amount. This reduction in tax liability permits
both individuals and corpora tions to express the maximum
possible generosity while making the cost of doing so as low as
possible.
3. In 1980 the U.S. Congress enacted PL 95-541 which permits
private landowners to obtain a federal tax deduction for the
value of development rights donated in easement for
conservation purposes (see discussion on acquisition of
development rights for an explanation of easements). The
legislation identifies four conservation purpcse, any of which
can be deducted:
a. The preservation of land areas for outdoor recreation
or educa tion
b. The protection of plant and animal habitats and
ecosystems
c. The preservation of open space
d. The preservation of historically important land areas or
certified historic structures.
Regulation is the exercise of the local power to control the
use of land. The basis for this control is a concern for the
health, safety, and general welfare of the public. This concern
and the ability to regulate are tempered by the taking clause
of the U.S. Constitution which states that "private property
(shall not) be taken for public use without just compensation."
The question of what constitutes a "taking" and the presumed
relationship between the private ownership of land and an
unrestrained private right to develop is gaining increased
attention in the courts. At present, if land use regulations are
based on first ra te ecological, economic, nnd social research
and are persuasive in terms of the public interest, thev may be
sustained as a public right. The following are methods of .
regulating land use.

The Metropolitan Council has developed model orCinan.-
which address the issue of conserva tion and ~rote_'ion of
environmentally sensitive lands. These model ordinances,
developed pursuant to MS 473.204, are laid over e:c:istinglocal
regulations and are intended to provide regulatory options to
local governments. Three approaches to envirooment,al
protection are offered.-
1. Environ~ental site planning ordin~ The ordinance
requires the preparation and approval of a site plan which
includes a performance bond. Approval of the site plan is
contingent on the proposal's ability to satisfy a set of
standards which address various local concerns. These
concerns may include soil erOSion, wetland preservation,
the preservation of fish and wildlife habitat, or other
matters important to the local government.
2. Environmental overlav district ordinance. The
ordinance establishes a number ofEmviOilffiental districts
which overlay the established land use zoning districts.
The environmental districts address the protection,
preserva tion, and maintenance of wetlands, woodlands,
unique habita ts, soil erosion, groundwater recharge, and
restrictive soils. •
Use of a given parcel of land will be determined byTe
regula tions for the underlying land use zoning district,
provided the additional requirements and standards of the
environmental overlay district are met.
3. Conservation district ordinance. The ordinance
establishes a single conservation zoning district. The
purpose of the ordinance is to preserve natural resources
and environmental quality in order to avoid public expens
resulting from inappropriate development. The intent is
to prohibit uses which are incompatible and conversely to
allow, through conditional use permit, uses which are
compatible with the purpcse of the zooe.
MS 104.01 directs local governments to develop floodplain
zoning ordinances which comply with the requirements for
management of floodplains (Minnesota Department of Na tura}
Resources Chapter 7:NR 85-93) and the National Flood
Insurance Program (PL 90-448).
The purpcse of these programs is to promote sound land use
practices on floodplains in order to reduce flood damage,
decrease public expenditure and inconvenience, and ensure
that a c?mmunity's flood prone lands are put to their m.
approprlBte use.

Appendix B
The Shoreln-!1d Management Act (MS 105.485) is intended
to provide guidance for the wise L5e of shorelands and their
related land resources in order to preserve the economic and
natural resource values and enhance the quality of the state's
surface waters. The Statewide Standards and Criteria for
Management of Shoreland Areas of Minnesota (Minnesota
Department of Conservation Rules, Chapter 6:CONS 70-77)
and the Sta tewide Standards and Criteria for Management of
Municipal Shoreland Areas (:"rIinnesota Department of Natural
Resources Rules, Chapter 6:NR 82-84) establish minimum
guidelines for the use and development of shoreland areas by
establishing sewage treatmen t requirements, minimum lot
sizes, building setbacks, and subdivision provisions.
"Shoreland" is land within 1,000 ft of the ordinary high water
mark of a protected water; land within 300 it of a river or
stream; or the landward extension of the designated floodplain
of a river or stream, whichever is greater. To administer the
program, three classes of development standards were
developed to account for the different physical and cultural
characteristics of the state's streams and lakes. These three
classes are: Natura! Environment (lakes and streams),
Recrea tional Development (lakes), and General Development
Uakes and streams).
Local units of government are authorized to regulate
where and in what manner the subdivision of land will be
permitted. This authority is given to cities by MS 462.358 and
to coun ties by MS 394.25. The local subdivision regUla tions
can control the densitv to which an area mav be subdivided
and require that a reaSonable portion of a pr'oposed subdivision
be dedica ted to the public or preserved for public use. The
size of this reasonable dedication mlSt be tied to the need
created by the approval of the proposed subdivision. The city
can also accept money in lieu of dedication. This money must
be spent for the same use that the dedicated lands would have
been.
As part of a community's comprehensive planning effort
in the metropolitan area, a community is required to designate
the location, intensity, and extent of different land uses that
will occur within its jurisdiction (:\1S 473.859). One land use
that must be addressed in the land use portion of the
community comprehensive plan is parks and open space
(MS 473.859, subd. 3). These lanes are designated
administra tively during the planning process and unless they
are considered part of the metropolitan parks and open space
system administered by the i\Jetropolitan Council, the landS
enjoy no legal protection and the proposed or designated use
can be chllI1ged by amending the city's comprehensive plan.
Land use designation can, however, be a strong method of
protection if tile relative significance of a designated area can
be demonstr'atcd clearly to policy makers and if designation
will help fulfill tile legal requirements or organizational
incentives for implemen ting other protection techniques.

The transfer of development rights (TOll) is graduallv .-
becoming a useful land managemen t technique. The "l'aeth
combines the concept of zoning with compensation t(tl()wners
of restricted lands. The compensa tion, in this case, comes
from developers who wish to build on less restricted lend
rather than from the government.
Transfer of development rights schemes have many different
forms, but generally have two basic components. First,
environmentally valuable land inside the planning jurisdiction
is defined on a map and zoned for little or no further
development. Other land in the planning jurisdiction is zoned
for further development.
The second component of a TDR plan involves the inducement
mechanism for transferring development rights from the
no-growth zone to the growth zone.
The idea is that the development rights are separated fl'om the
land in the no-growth zone and are made available for
purchase and attachment to land in the grow th zone .. The use
of TDR should be considered as a supplement to other
regulatory methods of land use control and a way to provide .
and alternative use to property owners whose land is important
to.the valley concept. • Acquisition of the right to develop property is the most direct
way of protecting natural or cultural resolll'ces. MS 412.211
authorizes statutory cities to acquire real or personal property
within or without their corporate limits. Counties al'e
authorized to acquire and hold real and personal property for
the use of the county by MS 373.01 and 378.08.
Such purchase or acquisition of development rights is
authorized as long as the acquisition is related to a proper
public purpose. The preserva tion of open space land is
considered such a purpose (Op. Att. Gen. 469-12, Aprilll,
1974). There are at least five ways which the development
rights for a given area of land can be acquired.
Fee titl~ acquisition is th.e simplest and most direct wav
to acqUlI'e developmen t rlghts. Through this method alf of the
rights associated with title ownership are held and the
property is fully owned. Fee title acquisition can be
accomplished through direct purchase, donation, or !l variety
of other means. As men tioned earlier, it is wi thin the
authority of a local government's power over subdivisions to
require the dedication of land. This fee mU:it bc used for the
acquisition of lands thut would serve the same purpose us
. those that would have been dedieuted (I'IIS 462.358) . •

Appendix B
Development rights easement is a way of acquiring part
or all of the right to develop or modify property.
Development rights easements are also referred to as scenic,
conserva tion, or development easements. Easements are
interests in land which give the easement owner a limited
right on the property of a given landowner. These rights can
be sold or donated and are transmit ted through a standard
deed of conveyance. The value of a given easement is directly
related to the rights included in the conveyance and can be
determined by calculating the difference between the fair
market value of the property unrestricted and the fair market
value of the property restricted by the terms of the easement.
Leases describe rental agl'eements. The lease states the terms
of the agreement, including the property rights temporarily
acquired by the renter, the rights retained by the property
owner, Ule duration of the lease, the amount of rent, and how
the rent will be paid. As with management agreements, it is
important to record the lease with the countv clerk as
additional insurance of long term protection 'of the resource.
A cooperative agreement is a legal contract to manage
property in a specific way for a sta ted period of time to .
achieve purposes mutually understood. The agreement does
not permanently restrict the deed of the property but does
create a legal interest in the property that can be recorded
with the county clerk. If the agreement involves a
"consideration" (usually a nominal sum of money) and has been
legally recorded, it claims an interest in the property and is
enforceable throughout the <iJration of the agreement.
Cooperative agreements typically provide a means for
breaking the agreement provided that suitable notice is given.
Registration of significant lands, resources and habitat types
can provide the recognition and incentiVes needed to support
the efforts to preserve and protect the lower Minnesota River
Valley. A registry program can also influence development
indirectly by helping document "the greater than local
significance" of a given resource.
Organi7.ation and development of a registry must focus on the
special nature of the resource to be protected and the
civic-mindedness and generosity of the owner to voluntarily
protect the resource in question. The real protection method
used then is the commitment of the landowner to protect the
resource in question and the formal recognition and
appreciation of this commitment •

METHODS
Donation
Bargain Sales
Exchan~
170
The following are descri ptions of a number methods for
facilita ting the acquisition of development rights. These
methods can be ll'ied to pursue and/or achieve various levels ot
protection provided by different techniques of acquiring the
right to develop property.
Donation or dedication is an option for acquiring land
which has not been utilized to its potential. As cited in the
discussion on tax incentives, federal income tax laws
encourage making charitable contributions by allowing a
deduction against ordinary income equal (with exceptions) to
the value of the donation. Consequently, the taxpayer's
liability is reduced, often by a considerable amount. This
encourages both individuals and corpora tions to express the
maximum possible generosity and results in the greatest
savings for all parties concerned.
There are several ways to solicit donations: community drives,
formation of a special foundation, or the use of a catalog or
"wish book" which would give the <hnor a number of choices or
projects to which the dona tion could be applied. It should be
. noted that every potential donation of land may have features
which are unique, and therefore the method of conveyance
should be structured to meet the needs of both parties, the
character of the land, and be as financially advantageoLS to
the <hnor as possible. fa
Bargain sales provide an option in instances where a landown"'"
will not consider making a full donation of a property. A
bargain sale combines the advantages of a gift and a sale by
selling property to a qualifying organization at a price that is
less than its fair market value. The result is part-sale and
part-charitable donation of the property. The amount
deductible as a dona t ion for income tax purposes is the
difference between the fair market value of the property and
the actual sale price. The taxable gain from the sale is the
difference between the selling price and the cost basis
ailoca ted to the property sold. A bargain sale provides the
landowner with some actual cash as well as a capital gain tax
reduction and a charitable donation deduction.
Management and development objectives on public and private
land holdings sometimes conflict. The exchange of sca ttered
public ownership for private lands within management units
may allow each landowner to more efficiently and
productively manage these lands. MS Sections 94.341 and
94.349 establish the iV1 innesota Land Exchange Board. Th is
board prov ides the condi tions and procedures for land
exchange with the DN R. The National Wildlife Refuge Act
authorizes the FW S to exchange lands (16 USC 668dd).
Land is eligible for eXChange only when the exchnnge inVOlve
land., of equal value ns determ ined by a land exchange
appraisor of tile DN R or FWS.

Purchase
and Resale
Rights of
First Re fusal
Right of
PreemDtion .
FINANCIAL. TOOLS
Appendix B
Purchase and resale allows land to be purchased and then
returned to the tax rolls after it has been burdened with
restrictions similar to those found in an easement. The
appropriate restrictiorn are written into the deed before
transfer back to the private sector. The net result of this
procedure is the same as purchasing the rights directly. In
both cases, the restrictions on development should "run with
the land, II tha t is, they should become a part of the deed and
be binding on all future owners. .
The right of first refusal or "first option to purchase" is
an agreement with a landowner to first offer the land to the
holder of the right if the owner decides to sell or receives a
bona fide offer on his/her land.
In short, it is arranging for formal notification of a possible
change in land ownership and use with sufficient lead time to
assess the present and future possibilities for the land,
negotiate options with the present and perspective o\'mer,
and/or make an offer. As with other agreements, a right of
first refusal should be recorded.
When a parcel of a "designated type" (e.g., open space)
land comes on the market, a governmental body, under the
right Of preemption, can substitute itself for whoever has
made an offer for the land. Then it may purchase and resell
the property with restrictions. The public purchases only
thooe properties which, in fact, come on the market, at the
time they come on the market, and if the proposed purchaser
would convert the land to an unacceptable use. Thus, the total
number of purchases are likely to be less under fee simple
acquisition or purchase and resale. The purchases are also
likely to be somewhat spread out over time rather than
occurring all at the beginning of the program period.
AI though there is no formal program based on its Uie in the
United Sta tes, preem ption is used externively in Europe and is
a power that is compatible with the American legal system
and values. There is ample precedent for it in the private
market'S ll'le of the right of first refusal.
One of the aims of the comprehensive plan is to
coordina te the land use and management objectives that
transcend the jJrisdictional boundaries of the governmental
lD'lits involVed. The achievement of regional land management
and protection objectives seldom can be accomplished solely
through policy and regulation. Although they may prove
adequate where a problem is fairly clear and enforcement L'i
possible, policy and regulatory tools generally work better
when supported by appropriate financial tools. Financial tools
can serve us negative reinforcement by piggybacking costs
onto regulation and clln provide un incentive for cooperating
with the public sector in lund management by substituting cost
for regulation or by providing subsidies. Finan('ial tools ulso
can add fleXibility to the more rigid approach of regulation.

Local governments have the authority to use these tools ~.
directly. The value of the tools will depend largely on the"-'
commitment of local governments to the objectives in this
com prehcnsive plan.
There are four major financial tools which could be used in
land management in the lower Minnesota River Valley. They
complement both a local government's regulatory powers over
the location, extent, and' intensity of lund use and their
function of providing public services such as sewer, water, and
roads. All of these tools have broad applicability and local
governments can implement them without depending on
appropria tions from other levels of government.
Capital improvement programming can effectively
establim a part-part development management system. First,
the local government prepares a capital improvement program
that itemizes future expenditures planned over several years
for growth-shaping public improvements, such as sewers and
roads. This enables the government to anticipate major
improvements and provide necessary funding. To be effective,
the capital improvement program mLEt be coordinated with
the government's planning process and regulation of land
development. Development is allowed to take place only in
areas where existing public facilities or planned new facilities
are"adequa te to serve it.
When a local government's executive branch prepares the •
capital improvement program, it ensures coordination by
inviting the planning board to participate. This gives the
board a practical view of what facilities the locality can
afford to build, and when. When the planning board reviews
requests for new subdivisions, it has the authority to
disapprove a subdivision, if it finds that existing and
programmed sewer and road facilities would be inadequa te to
serve the development.
Charging developers the full costs of extending public
services to new subdiVisions-marginal coot pricing-is another
fiscal device for controlling development. Local governments
have the authority to determine how they charge for public
services. Most fund sewers, roads, and other services from
property tax ~evenu~, or average coot fees. In effect, fringe
development IS subSidized by average rates because it costs
more to serve low-densit~ scattered development.
A local government using marginal cost pricing allocates all
incremental costs of sprawl development to the developers
and, in turn, to the new residents and business owners. No
public funds are committed to extension of service beyond the
urban areas established in the local plan. The result is that
fringe development takes place only if people who ct1oose"~
loea ~e beyond the estA.blished area -nre willing to pay all p~
service costs.

Grants
Appendix B
This strategy eliminates one problem created by urban sprawl;
scarce public resources are not used for facilities to serve
fringe development. Urban sprawl may be curtailed because
higher h015ing coots may reduce demand for h015ing in
outlying areas. Where marginal costs pricing alone is not
adequa te to curb urban sprawl, local governments can use
regulatory tools such as planning; zoning, and agricultural
preserves.
Tax-exempt bonds can be issued bv the state or a
governmental jurisdiction within a state. They provide capital
at low interest rates because bonds are exempt from the
federal income tax. The bonds, therefore, are marketable at a
lower interest rate than non tax-exempt bonds.
Tax-exempt bonds are used to fund public infrastructure
costs-sewer, water, streets-of development and
redevelopment. They also fund much of the pollution control
equipment required to meet national environmental standards.
There are two types of grants -catagorical and block. Uses of
ca tegorical grants are narrowly defined and closely regulated
by the funding agency. Block grants may serve a brooder
range of purposes and allow more flexibility to recipients.
Land management objectives funded by grants include
parklands acquisition, wetlands acquisition, stDsidized housing
construction and rehabilita tion, inner-city redevelopment, and
construction of highways and bridges.
Grants do have some drawbacks. Beca15e moot grant money
comes from the federal or state governments, local
governments cannot control their availability. They also are
constrained in using the money by restrictions imposed by the
funding agency.

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.
AI 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 develop me.
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
property.
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.

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.

Dan Blake, representing Centex Homes, stated that 3 main issues remained from the •
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 them to be too restrictive. The proponent was concerned about the security
deposit believing that this was extremely high and would like 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 the
Tree Preservation Ordinance projects had a tree loss of approximately 50% and now the tree loss
had been reduced to an average of 26%.Hawkins asked how larger "The Big Woods" 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 Ostenson, 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
ar~; however, funds were not available. Ostenson ?elieved that Centex Homes was the be'.
bUIlder to preserve the trees. Ostenson added that Hlghway 212 would also encroach .'·The
Big Woods".
Wissner believed that this project would be the test market for further development in this area.
Franzen stated that this project was on the fringe of the wood 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 RI-44 zoning would help to preserve more trees with the 1 acre lot
requirement. Franzen replied that RI-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
~~. •
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.
Wallace 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.
Kardell believed that a unique proposal had been developed to 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.

The site is located adjacent to the Tandem development
west of the railroad right-of-way and future Scenic
Heights Road extension. The plan is for a 40 lot single
family subdivision. 19 of these lots have existing
trees which consist of maple and basswood with an
approximate size of 16 inches with some oak and ash.
This is an extension of the current Fairfield project.
The homes planned are the same type as in the Fairfield
development, but these lots are larger. There are
no walkout lots, but there will be less destruction
of the land since the site will require minimum grading.
Blake said that Rainbow Tree Care, a forestry company,
has been hired as the consultant on the project.

The developer is proposing the use of construction
fences to define construction limits. Access to Miller
Park has been accomplished by changing New Market Dr.

Putnam reviewed the tree preservation which will take
place and added that the idea of combining the Big
Woods with Mitchell Lake Park was discussed about 20
years ago, but did not happen.
Richard asked how many acres of the parcel is located
in the woods. Blake said it is approximately 6-7 acres.
Richard said he has a problem with 19 lots on 7 acres
in a heavily wooded area. He feels if the lot size
and home size is limited, the homes would still be
marketable for the developer.
Putnam said that Tandem has had 26 wooded lots for
sale for over a year on Dell Road near the Chanhassen
border and has not sold one lot. The homes are expected
to be about twice the size as those planned in Fairfield
West but to increase the lot and home size here does
not fit the developer's plans.
Richard feels that an architect should be available
who could revise the home plans to fit on these lots.
Lambert asked the Commission to define what percentage
of tree loss is acceptable to develop these woods.
The road system itself will destroy more trees than
the construction of homes. It was the City's intent
to acquire part of the Big Woods for parkland, but
they were not able to do so because of the alignment
of Hwy. 212.
Hilgeman asked what type of budget the City has available
to acquire this land. Lambert said there is no money
budgeted to acquire this property because it isn't
in the park and open space plan,. There is money budgeted
for two neighborhood parks an an accress to Smetana
Lake. Development of land along the river bluffs would
cost at least $.5 million and would need to be funded
through a park bond referendum. The value of this
land is to leave it as it is.
Lynch asked if the EIS required for the development
of Hwy. 212 would take the location of the woods as
a consideration. She asked why the City is not interested
in acquiring the woods for parkland.
Lambert said the location of Hwy. 212 would cut the
woods off from the park.

Lambert suggested that the question of acquisition
of the Big Woods could be added to the ballot in the
general election in November.
Scott Wallace of 12465 Sunnybrook Road reviewed his
suggestions for preserving natural areas within the
City.
Bowman asked what is the cost to add this question
to the ballot. Lambert said there would be some
additional cost involved, but not a significent amount,
since there will already be an election.
Lambert said that the question on the ballot could
•
be worded to ask whether the citizens support the increase
in their tax levy to acquire a particular number of
acres of land in the Big Woods for parkland at a stated
amount of money.
Vanderploeg asked if road patterns have been done and
is it possible to maintain a 70% tree preservation •
policy throughout the entire site assuming that this
is only phase one of development. Putnam said that
it may be possible to maintain this level of tree
preservation over the next couple of years, but it
has not been examined closely.
Hilgeman feels that it doesn't matter how many homes
there are or the size of the lots, because the land
will not be available for public use anyway.
Lambert disagreed because the intent is to preserve
the character of Eden Prairie to as much of an extent
as is possible, whether or not the City owns it.
Bowman said the size of the lots is not the main issue,
but rather the preservation of trees. How can we ensure
that the tree loss will not exceed 29%?
Blake said that it cannot be guaranteed, but the City
is asking for a financial guarantee by the developer
for 46%.
Lambert added that the City's past experience with
Centex Homes has been good, and there is a difference
in control on this project than there is with other •
developers because the developer also builds the home.

Kracum asked if there will be restrictive covenants
or scenic preservation easements on the homes in this
area. Cross said that a restrictive covenant or scenic
preservation easement will be required 25 feet from
the back of each house on a wooded lot.
Lambert discussed the changes that will take place
in the woods with the development of roads and building
of homes.
Lynch said that since this is such a unique area in
Eden Prairie, the public should be made aware of it
~nd asked about their interest in preserving it.
Wallace said that he does not believe what the developer
said about the trees in the woods being mature. Dead
and broken trees are part of the ecosystem. He also
said that the development in Marsh Creek will not include
homes.
Richard asked if it is fair to ask the developer to
delay the project for 30 days pending input from the
public. Lambert said the Commission cannot require
the developer to wait before making its presentation
to the City Council.
Lynch said she cannot approve the development without
making the citizens aware of what is going on.
Bowman agreed with Lynch and suggested that citizens
be made aware of the development plans for the woods
with the costs involved and given time to present their
opinions to the City prior to the next Commission meeting.
Lambert does not know how the entire community can
be contacted in a two week period better than simplY
a news article in the local newspaper which will happen
anyway. The Commission discussed a longer time period
to ensure that everyone can be contacted.
Kracum feels it would be valuable to have a tour of
the area prior to making a final decision.
Richard feels it is important to bring this to the
public's attention, but feels that the turnout will
be disappointing.

Lambert said that if a notice is placed in the paper,
the decision would not have to be delayed longer than
two weeks because people will forget about it if it
is delayed for a longer period of time. This would
not delay the development process.
Lynch feels the article needs to be more substantial
•
and should be written by someone with a greater knowledge
about the area.
Putnam said he is surprised about how the Commission
is approaching this issue, as the City has not taken
this direction in the past. The park and open space
system is not determined on single issue meetings.
The City has a definite plan and if the Commission
feels this is important, they should do what they feel
is best.
Lynch feels the City owes people the information
regardless of how many people come to the meeting or
how they feel about the woods.
Bowman feels that tabling the issue for two weeks will
not impact the developer to a great degree because
the City Council meeting is not until after the next
Commission meeting anyway and the City Council will
make the final decision.
Wallace said he thinks the area needs to be looked
at from an environmental standpoint.
•
MOTION: Lynch moved to delay action on the Fairfield
West development request until staff can schedule a
public meeting on the Big Woods before the end of August.
Hilgeman seconded the motion.
On call for discussion, Bowman noted that the issue
will be discussed by the City Council prior to the
end of August.
Lambert does not have an indication of what is supposed
to happen by the end of August. He asked how will
people be notified and who will write the article for
the newspaper. He does not feel the public can be
notified to the extent that is expected. If the public
is to be notified by a newspaper article, it should •
be done prior to the City Council meeting the first
week of August.

Richard said if this is to be accomplished in two weeks,
he feels it will be difficult to find someone to write
the article and that we should depend upon the newspapers
to cover the issue accurately.
Lynch said that her intent is to request the City Council
to delay action and holding the public meeting separately
from a regular Commission meeting with a minimum of
10 days notice. If the City Council chooses not to
delay their decision, we have our answer. S~e recommends
that the article be written by a member of the Commission
with the assistance of staff.
Bowman said that alternatives to acquisition, including
cost estimates for 6-7 acres in the Big Woods also
needs to be discussed.
MOTION: Lynch amended her motion to delay action on
Fairfield West and request staff to schedule a public
meeting on the Big Woods within the next 3 weeks.
The notice is to be publicized in the Sailor and Eden
Prairie News and co-authored by a forestry expert.
The City Council will be asked to delay action until
after the public meeting. Hilgeman seconded the motion
and it passed 4-2.
Putnam said that delaying action will put the project
into next year's time frame.
Lynch asked why delaying a decision for three weeks
will make a difference. Putnam said that there are
two readings at the City Council level so this will
bring it to an October time frame.
The Commission decided to hold the public meeting in
conjunction with the August 17 Commission meeting.
The Commission will tour the woods beginning at 6:30

Staff Report
Springer-Klooster Subdivision
July 10, 1992
BACKGROUND
(
This site is Guided Low Density Residential for up to 2.5 units per acre. The surrounding land
areas south of Highway 5 are also Guided Low Density Residential. This site is currently zoned
RI-22. This site was zoned RI-22 prior to July 1, 1982 which means that the property can be
subdivided into one-half acre lots with septic tanks.
In 1983 the City approved a subdivision to allow the Fristed Property to be split C?ff the Ivers
Parcel. The City granted a variance from the shoreland ordinance (5 acre minimum without
sewer). This was subject to no additional subdivision until sewer and water was available to the
property.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
There are three existing houses in this area. (See attachment A) There is one house on the
existing Fristed property, and two existing houses on the Ivers parcel. Prior to 1969 two houses
could be built on one lot. Each house has a septic tank, well, and share a common driveway.
PRELIMIN ARY PLAT
The preliminary plat depicts the subdivision of 4 acres into two lots of 42,000 sq. ft. and 3.04
acres. The property is zoned Rl-22 and both lots meet the lot size requirements. The City code
requires that property zoned RI-22 have a minimum of 90 feet of street frontage. Proposed Lot
1 would not have frontage on a City street and would require a variance.
SHORELAND ORDINANCE
The shoreland ordinance requires a 5 acre minimum lot size for properties without sewer and
water abutting a natural environmental lake (Mitchell Lake). Although technically this property
can be served by sewer, the nearest sewer line is approximately 1500 feet to the east and would
require either a petition from the proponent, surrounding neighbors, or required by the City
Council.
The Fristed property was granted a variance in 1983 for a lot size less than 5 acres without city
sewer. The proposed lot met shoreland ordinance requirements for lots abutting for sewer and
water. These include a minimum lot size of 40,000 sq. ft., minimum width at the building line-
150 feet, minimum width at the ordinary high water mark -150 feet, and minimum s(;':tback from
the ordinary high water mark -150 feet.
--_.
(
Staff Report
Springer-Klooster Subdivision
July 10, 1992
(
The Springer-Klooster lot will require a lot size variance from 5 acres to 42,000 sq. ft., lot
width at building line from 200 to 120, lot width at high water mark from 200 to 140 feet and
building setback from 200 to 150 ft.
The request for shoreland variances can be substantiated considering the following:
1. The proposed lot compares favorably with shoreland requirements for lots with
sewer and is similar in size and dimension to the existing Fristed lot.
2. No grading is proposed within 150 feet from the Lake. Attachment B indicates
the steep .sloped wooded area adjacent to the Lake that is preserved.
3. There are no existing subdivided lots that are 40,000 sq. ft. or greater on Mitchell
Lake. The lots in the Timber Lakes Subdivision on the south side of the Lake
average approximately 20,000 sq. ft. with a 75 foot setback. The Shores of
Mitchell Lake project on the west side of the Lake (yet to be built) average 25 to
35,000 sq. ft. lot sizes with a setback between 125-150 feet.
4. With future development, the density of the 4 acre parcel is 1 unit per acre.
Typical densities in shoreland areas are 1.5 to 1.75 units per acre.
5. Attachment B shows how the wooded character of the site that is being preserved
with this subdivision.
ACCESS
The three existing houses in this location share a common private driveway easement. When
the Fristed parcel was subdivided in 1983, a road easement was established as a potential
location for a public road. When the road easement was established in 1983, it did not give
consideration to topography and vegetation. If a public road is built within this easement, the
highest point on the property and a significant amount of natural vegetation would be removed.
With the construction of the proposed dwelling on lot 1, the existing driveway easement to the
Fristed parcel would be relocated. The proposed lot 1 and the existing Ivers house would
continue to share the existing driveway easement.
The future development plan indicates the possibility of additional subdivision in the future.
These lots would have access off of Terrey Pine Drive.
•
•
•
• Staff Report
Springer-Klooster
July 10, 1992
(( ((
The Staff would recommend the properties be allowed to continue to have access by existing
driveway easements.
UTILITIES
Each existing house has a septic tank and a well. This is permitted since the property was zoned
RI-22 prior to July 1, 1982. When the Springer-Klooster building addition is constructed, a new
septic tank and drain field would be built north of the house.
Sewer is located approximately 1500 feet to the east. Sewer could be extended to this site based
upon petition by the property owner, surrounding owners, or ordered by the City. When sewer
is available in Terrey Pine Drive, all of these lots should have the ability to hook up to City
Sewer. To provide for this opportunity to occur in the future, the two future lots adjacent to
Terrey Pine should provide drainage utility easements on Attachment C. The two future lots
must hook up to City sewer in the future. These lots may not be subdivided until sewer is
available immediately adjacent to the property in Terrey Pine Drive.
GRADING AND TREE LOSS
• The survey indicates that there are approximately 144 inches ot significant trees mostly oak on
the property. None of these trees would be lost due to building construction. A portion of the
wooded area would be removed for a driveway to be relocated to the existing Fristed parcel and
to allow for a drain field to be built. These are small encroachments into the wooded area.
•
CONCLUSION
There are two alternative development scenarios for this site. One alternative would be to
require that the property be subdivided in conformance with the shoreland regulations, City code
requirements for street frontage, require a public street to be built, and not allow development
to occur until City sewer and water is available. Another alternative would be to approve the
subdivision as proposed based on the following circumstances:
1.
2.
The proposed building addition does not create any additional homes along
Mitchell Lake.
These three houses have been sharing a private driveway easement for
approximately 10 years. A public street would provide a different access, but
would eliminate the wooded hill in the center portion of the property .
(( ((
Staff Report
Springer-Klooster Subdivision
July 10, 1992
3. Each of these houses has an existing septic tank and well. No additional homes
would be created on a septic tank and well. The potential future lots adjacent to
Terrey Pine Drive would require City sewer and water before that land area could
be subdivided.
4. The lot as proposed is larger than other lots along Mitchell Lake.
5. No significant trees are lost due to grading and the majority of the wooded
character of the site is preserved if the plan is approved as proposed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Staff would recommend approval of the preliminary plat to subdivide four acres
into two lots based on plans dated July 10, 1992, subject to the recommendations of the Staff
Report dated July 10, 1992 and subject to the following conditions:
1. Prior to building permit issuance, the proponent shall submit for review and
approval:
a. A grading plan for the proposed dwelling and drain field. A
grading permit will be required. The grading limits around the
proposed drain field and proposed driveway easement shall be
staked with a snow fence in order to preserve trees.
2. The proponent shall apply for and receive approval of shoreland ordinance
variances and a street frontage variance.
3. No additional lots will be permitted to be subdivided on the property until sewer
and water is available immediately adjacent to the property in Terrey Pine Drive .

To: The Mayor, city council and Planning Commission
My father Thomas Ivers has lived in Eden Prairie on Mitchell
Lake for over 40 years. I, Diane Springer-Klooster have
also lived in Eden Prairie for 30 years. Recently my father
has graciously offered a partial of his estate for my
husband Jerry and I to build our future home on, as he had
done for my sister Debby Fristed and her husband Glenn eight
years previous.
The proposed lot which we have selected consists of an
existing cottage where my grandmother and deceased sister
have lived. Our plans propose building onto this cottage as
•
it has many pleasant memories and to destroy it would be •
heartbreaking. The lot which we have chosen will help to
preserve the existing wooded frontage to the property and
keep most of the landscape untouched.
I hope these plans will meet with your approval and thus
entitle us the opportunity to live on this beautiful lot
near the shores of Mitchell Lake.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,

MONDAY, JULY 13,1992 7:30 PM CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS
7600 Executive Drive
A. SPRINGER-KLOOSTER SUBDIVISION by Diane Springer Klooster.
Preliminary Plat on 4 acres. Location: 17221 Terrey Pine Court.
Request for
Diane Springer Klooster stated that her father had given each of his daughters a lot. She was
requesting permission to add on to her existing grandmother's home.
Franzen stated that the proposal would not change much from how the site looks today. There
would be 3 homes with septic tanks, a well, and a shared driveway. Franzen also noted that in
the future the property owners might want to subdivide the property again. He noted that the
new homes could not be constructed until sewer and water were available. A Shoreland variance
would be required. The woods would be preserved. The maximum would be 5 lots on the 5
acres which would be still be considered low density. Franzen reported that Staff recommended
approval of the project. Franzen added that the proponent would still need to appear before the
Board of Appeals and Adjustments.
Wissner stated that she was comfortable with the project because it was simply an addition to
the existing home. Wissner noted that there would not be a loss of trees with the addition. •
Kardell stated that this proposal did not appear to be changing anything and the addition would
be outside of the 150 foot Shoreland Ordinance area.
Clinton asked if the City knew when sewer and water would be brought into this area. Franzen
replied that the property owners had not requested that sewer and water be brought in at this
time and no new development was proposed currently. Franzen added that development could
take place to the east soon.
Hawkins asked if there had been any problems with the present septic tank system. Fristad
replied that they had no problem with the septic system. Hawkins then asked if there would be
an inspection of the drain field at the time of Building Permit issuance. Franzen replied yes;
it was required by the City and the State.
MOTION 1:
Kardell moved, seconded by Clinton to close the public hearing. Motion carried 5-0-0.
MOTION 2:
Kardell moved, seconded by Clinton to recommend to the City Council approval of the request
of Diane Springer Klooster for Preliminary Plat of 4 acres into two lots, based on plans dated
July 10, 1992, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report dated July 10, 1992. Motia.
carried 5-0-0.

Re: Eden Prairie Planning Commission
Dear Mayor Tenpas:
It is with sincere regret that I must respectfully resign from the Eden Prairie Planning
Commission, effective August 15, 1992.
I have today been named to a position with the headquarters of BeliSouth
Enterprises, Inc., in Atlanta, Georgia. Within this position, I will serve as general attorney
within our human resources and litigation group, assisting in handling matters for the
company's worldwide operations. This new position is effective August 15, 1992; this
untimely and unforeseen relocation was necessitated by a sudden vacancy in our
headquarters some ten days ago.-_
Although I will continue to be associated with Dataserv from afar, my wife, our .
children, and I will be moving to Atlanta in the very near future. I shall miss Eden Prairie
keenly. It has been a true privilege and honor to work with the highly professional
members of the planning department staff, and with my fellow commissioners. I shall
always be grateful to you and the members of the City Council for the opportunity to
participate as a citizen volunteer within a progressive, public-minded, and competent city
government.
Sincerely,

THROUGH: Carl J. Jullie, City Manager
SUBJECT: Report from the Bluff Committee
The Bluff Committee met from April 23rd through July 2nd to review and advise on existing
City Bluff policy as it relates to the development of the Minnesota River Bluff. At the July 2nd
meeting, the Bluff Committee reached a consensus on direction for future development of the
Bluff. The Bluff Committee recommendations are attached.
BLUFF COMMITTEE CONSENSUS
I. Because of the unique nature of the Minnesota River Bluffs, their sensitivity, erosive
nature, and scenic and ecological value, we recommend the following:
1. A preservation and development framework for the Minnesota River Valley Bluffs
should be prepared by the City of Eden Prairie.
2. The City of Eden Prairie should work with landowners on a cooperative basis to
repair and restore eroded Bluff areas and to prevent future damage to these areas.
3. Eden Prairie's existing Guide Plan, ordinances, and sewer policies should be
applied equitably and lawfully to Bluff properties and should provide adequate
and reasonable protection at this time.
4. The public interest is served by the acquisition and preservation of additional
Bluff land by the City in Eden Prairie.
a. The City of Eden Prairie should acquire appropriate land on the Minnesota
River Valley Bluffs to provide an overlook and educational interpretive
opportunities for the public.
b. The City should work with the DNR and u.s. Fish and Wildlife Service
to consider inclusion of the Bluff property in the wildlife refuge.
5. The City should help identify native prairie on the Bluffs which allows tax
abatement to participating pwners through existing law.
6. The City should work through the State Legislature to establish tax abatement for
the Minnesota River Bluffs property put into a "scenic and natural reserve" for
those property owners wishing to retain ownership but agreeing not to develop the
Bluffs.
II. The Bluff Committee is willing and desires to provide input and reVIew in the
formulation of a preservation and development framework.

SUBJECT: United states Supreme Court Decision on
Regulatory Takings
(Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council)
The Unites states Supreme Court recently decided the case of
Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council. In that case Lucas
purchased two residential lots on the Isle of Palms in South
Carolina on which he 1ntended to build single-family homes.
Subsequently the South Carolina legislature enacted the Beach Front
Management Act which had the effect of barr1ng Lucas from build1ng
homes on the parcels. The decision of the Supreme Court was based
upon a lower court finding that the ban against construction
deprived Lucas of any reasonable economic use of the lots.
The issue presented to the Supreme Court was whether Lucas is
entitled to compensation for the taking of his lots because of the
• regulation banning the building of homes on them.
The Supreme Court held regulations that deny a property owner
---------------------------
£0"d
of all economically viable use of the land is a taking which
requires compensation, unless the regulation is one which could
have been imposed under traditional common law prope~ty and
nuisance concepts. 1 In that instance the owner has not been
deprived by the regulation of anything that the owner had before
the regulation was adopted. The Supreme Court remanded the case
to the lower court to determine whether under a common law action
for public nuisance South Carolina can identify principles of
nuisance and property laws that prohibit the uses Lucas intends in
•
the circumstances 1n which the property is presently found. In its
opinion the Court drew a distinction in the justification for
depriving a landowner of uses of pro~erty between, one based upon
traditional and historical regulation of nuisances or other
property rights, and the other based upon prevention of a perceived •
public harm.
In an analysis of whether a specific regulation effects a
compensable taking under Lucas the following must be considered:
1. Does the regulation deprive the owner of all reasonable
economic use of the land?
2. If the regulation deprives the owner of all reasonable
economic use of the land, is the regulation one that
In a footnote the court. left open the
possibility of an owner recovering damages for
a less than 100% taking·based upon an analysis
of the economic impact of the regulat10n on
the owner and the extent to which the
regulation has interfered with investment
backed expectations. What is an investment
backed expectation is not defined but seems to
be something akin to the concept of the
traditional grandfathering of nonconforming
uses in zoning matters.

could have been imposed under traditional principals of

SUBJECT: sterling Group Proposal RE: "Downtown" Property
The sterling Group, Inc. has presented a proposal for advisory and
disposition services over one year for the 23-acre "downtown"
property owned by the Ci ty. Its fee is based on two sets of
services:
1) Advisory Services -These services involve the identification
of qualified developers, the preparation of sales and
information packages, assistance in analysis of the viability
of different uses, and related matters. The fee for this
service would be $22,800.
2) Disposition Services -These services involve marketing the
property, assistance in evaluating proposals, negotiating the
sale, and assistance in closing the sale. Sterling Group is
proposing a fee-for-service of $50,000, not a shared
commission in which it would likely receive 2.5 percent of the
sales price. An incentive to complete the satisfactory
disposition of the property is full payment of the fee by June
1, 1993.
The Sterling Group has performed services satisfactorily for the
City's purchase of this land. The City should benefit from the
continuity of the firm's knowledge of the property.
RECOMMENDATION
Should the ci ty Council agree to the terms and compensation
proposed by the Sterling Group, it is recommended that the City
Manager be authorized to execute an agreement for services.

We appreciate this opportunity to present our proposal for Advisory & Disposition Services
related to the City's interest in disposing of approximately 22.96 acres of land in the Flagship/
"downtown" area. The Principals of Sterling Group bring a wide range of real estate disposition,
development, analysis, and negotiating experience to the table. Moreover, given our involvement
in the City's acquisition of this property, we are intimately familiar with the transaction and the
City's expectations relative to its disposition. We also have no commercial real estate listings, •
interests, or ownership in the City of Eden Prairie which would otherwise cause a conflict of
interest.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
Our primary objective is to assist the City of Eden Prairie in their disposition of land in the area
of Eden Prairie generally known as the Flagship/"downtown" area. This includes the negotiation
of a sale/development agreement which will be structured to minimize the City's risk and
maximize the City's development and financial objectives. The goal will be to conclude an
agreement which meets the City'S objectives with a selected developer as soon as possible.
STERLING GROUP
Sterling Group combines a thorough knowledge of the Twin Cities commercial real estate market
along with an intimate knowledge of the negotiation, purchase documentation, financing, and due
diligence aspects needed to thoroughly analyze and complete a transaction that meets the City's
objectives. Moreover, we have experience in the development of shopping centers (i.e. Ridgedale
Festival, a 120,000 s.f. center in Minnetonka; Rockford Square, a 16,000 s.f. center in Plymouth;
and Festival on Jefferson Court, a 150,000 s.f. center in Louisville, Kentucky) and can quickly
identify the developers that would be qualified to undertake a project of this magnitude. •

SCOPE OF SERVICES -DISPOSITION SERVICES
I. Identification and Initial Contact of Qualified Developers by August 15, 1992
We recommend the development of a list of "qualified" developers which the City/Sterling would
invite to pursue the development of this property. Qualifications would include but not be
limited to:
• Size of firm
• Financial strength/capability
• Track record for projects of this size, scope, and type
Given the publicity this property is likely to receive, we anticipate that numerous other parties
will contact the City and express an interest in the site. We recommend that these parties be
referred to Sterling Group in order to save valuable staff time, control the disbursement of
information, and so that the City staff and Council can avoid any question of conflict of interest.
n. Preparation of Sales/lnformation Packages by August 22, 1992
With the assistance of the City Manager, Director of Planning, and consultants such as Cluts
O'Brien StrotherlBRW Architects, we would prepare a sales/information package for presentation
to the pre-qualified developers. These packages would include information such as:
• Physical characteristics of property
• Aerial photograph
• City's desires/goals for the property
• Flagship/"Downtown" background i.e. "Cityscape" details/ideas
• Water tower information
• Proposed timetable for submission and evaluation of proposals
• Developer criteria
• Desired format of developer responses
We will assist the City in evaluating the merits and risks associated with land banking certain
parcels for future use, potential placement of a water tower, and analysis of the impact of certain
City desires on the viability of proposed developments.
.} -b
Page 3
July 27, 1992
ill. The Disposition Strategy/Process
In order to maximize the City's development and financial objectives we recommend the
following process:
• Expose this opportunity to as many qualified developers as possible via mail, phone,
and face to face meetings.
• Assist in the establishment of a sales price as well as other key terms and conditions.
• Based on the capability, interest, and development plans of these developers, (and the
input from the Director of Planning & Cluts O'Brien Strother Architects) we will
develop a "short list" of prospects with which to conduct more detailed discussions.
These discussions and responses will allow us to evaluate the viability of the
proposals.
• With the assistance of the City Attorney, we will deliver the City'S draft of a Sales
•
Agreement to those on the "short list." •
• Review the detailed proposals with City staff, Cluts O'Brien Strother Architects, and/or
City Council for final selection.
• Negotiate in good faith with a selected developer while preserving the City's ability
to start negotiations with another developer if the selected developer drops out.
IV. Negotiation of Sale Agreement
Once a buyer is identified through the process above, we will work with the City Attorney to
negotiate a final Sales Agreement for presentation to the City Council. With the City Attorney's
assistance, we will lead any negotiation of the Sales Agreement and secure the Buyer's signatures.
v. Closing Services
Any agreement to sell the property to a chosen developer will likely contain contingencies
relative to the leasing and financing of the project. Once City Council approves a
Sale/Development Agreement, we will remain available to coordinate, review, and make
recommendations to the City Manager regarding the removal of any contingencies. We will also
remain available to assist the City Attorney in resolving any other issues which arise prior,
incidental, or pursuant to closing. •
•
•
•
Page 4
July 27, 1992
TIME
The period of this agreement shall begin August 4, 1992. We will endeavor to deliver an
executed Sales Agreement with a chosen developer to the City Council by December 31, 1992
with a final closing later in 1993.
AUTHORITY
Sterling Group, Inc. shall have the authority to negotiate on behalf of the City of Eden Prairie
the potential sale of land sites, but not to commit the City of Eden Prairie to the sale nor to sign
any instruments on their behalf nor to incur any costs for the above other than those described
below.
NOTIFICATION
The City of Eden Prairie agrees to apprise all parties to the proposed transaction of Sterling
Group's appointment as the City's representative in this disposition/negotiation and refer any
further inquiry from interested parties to Sterling.
CONFIDENTIALITY
If our work requires us to review information regarding the City that you consider confidential,
we will hold that information in strict confidence. You need only identify any such information
so we know that you wish it to be kept confidential.
Our work product shall be considered the proprietary information of the City of Eden Prairie.
Sterling Group will hold this information in strict confidence and shall not disclose it to anyone
outside of the City .
Page 5
July 27, 1992
CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE RESPONSIBIUTIES
The City of Eden Prairie agrees to facilitate the investigation/analysis for the potential purchase
of land by:
• Providing Sterling with all key documents, drawings, and correspondence in its
possession relating to the proposed land parcels.
• Delineating the key contact at the City who will have authority over this
agreement.
• Authorizing the prudent use of the City Attorney, city staff, and other consultants
necessary to quickly and efficiently conduct this analysis and disposition.
• Maintaining confidentiality of sensitive information during this process.
• Handling any press inquiries into this matter.
COMPENSATION
Our proposed services combine aspects of both a unique real estate advisory role and traditional
real estate disposition services.
We are proposing that our compensation for the Advisory Services portion of this assignment
would be $22,800 and for the Disposition Services, $50,000; a total of $72,800. The payment
schedule for these advisory services shall be payable in 4 quarterly installments of $18,200
beginning September 1, 1992. If a closing occurs prior to June 1, 1993 the balance of our
compensation will be due and payable at closing.
We suggest that to the extent a potential developer chooses to be represented by a real estate
broker that the City offer a commission of 2.5% to an "outside" broker. Then, if a broker is
involved, hislher fee will simply be "netted" out of the proposed purchase price for comparison
to other proposals.
All out of pocket expenses for duplicating (Le. sales/information packages), faxes, the purchase
of any necessary documents (Le. architectural drawings, building code manuals, etc.), long
distance telephone, and travel costs will be billed at our cost.

July 27, 1992
Any nonnal project development costs (such as soil tests, engineering or traffic studies, legal
fees, city fees, environmental engineers, and additional outside consultant costs) during the
Disposition Phase would be paid directly by the City of Eden Prairie.
CANCELLATION
The proposed compensation schedule for advisory services is based on the assumption that
continued progress will be made towards a final sale agreement by December 31, 1992 and a
final closing later in 1993. Should the City detennine that it no longer wishes to pursue this
disposition or to continue the services of Sterling Group, this agreement for advisory services can
be canceled and our compensation will be adjusted based upon the percentage of services
completed.
We appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal to you for your consideration and would
be available to start immediately.
Sincerely,

DATE: July 28, 1992
SUBJECT: Constitutional Amendment Regarding Dedication of Sales
Tax
One of the major sources of unpredictability in municipal finance
in the 1980's was the constant tinkering and slashing of local
government aids by the Legislature. In order to create some
stability and reliability in this source of revenue for cities, the
1991 Legislature created the Local Government Trust Fund which
would be financed by 2¢ of the newly-increased 6.5¢ sales tax.
Distribution of LGTF proceeds would be determined by a specially-
authorized task force. As long as a majority of the population of
cities in a county chose to levy the additional half-cent sales
tax, the cities could participate in the proceeds of the LGTF.
Most cities in Minnesota receive a notable if not significant
portion of their operating revenues from local government aid.
While Eden Prairie does not presently receive LGA, it should have
a greater likelihood to do so through the LGTF task force.
By its actions in the 1992 session, the Legislature showed its
intent to test the level of "trust" in the Trust Fund. While it
made no direct inroads for State use of LGTF receipts, the
Legislature indicated its desire to consider these taxes already
collected available for its use. There are indications that the
Governor's Office will be pushing for major reductions in local
government aids, and appropriating LGTF receipts would have that
effect.
What Other cities Are Doing: At this point it is too early in the
processes of the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities (AMM),
the League of Minnesota cities (LMC) , or the Municipal Legislative
Commission (MLC) to identify a priority for maintaining the
integrity of the LGTF. The city of Saint Paul is the only Council
so far which has adopted a resolution calling for a constitutional
amendment to dedicate a 2¢ sales tax to the LGTF. Other cities are
considering similar resolutions.
st. Paul Councilmember Bob Long believes that this year is the one
to gain legislative commitments to the amendment from candidates.
He also cites this secure revenue source as one way of "ending the
increasing conflict between cities and school districts which are
now competing for the same slices of a shrinking 'state pie' of
State funding for local governments."

CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 92-152
A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO DEDICATE THE
RECEIPTS OF A TWO-PERCENT SALES TAX TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT TRUST
FUND.
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota enacted a 3% State sales tax
in 1967 with the promise to voters that the money would be returned
to them in the form of lower property tax relief for property tax
payers; and
WHEREAS, in 1991 the Governor and state Legislature approved
the addition of a ~% increase in the State sales tax, raising it
from 6% to 6~% to fund the Local Government Trust Fund which was
created to continue the State's commitment to local property tax
relief; and
WHEREAS, each year local governments are forced to combat
continued attempts to reduce the levels of State revenue dedicated
to local property tax relief through cuts in programs such as Local
Government Aid; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the state will face another
budget deficit in 1993, making cuts in local property tax relief
programs tempting ways to solve the State's budget problems; and
WHEREAS, the current governor has already publicly announced
that he will concentrate on eliminating local property tax relief
programs during the upcoming legislative session; and
WHEREAS, the League of Minnesota Cities, the Association of
Metropolitan Municipalities, and Municipal Legislative Commission
have not taken formal positions supporting a constitutional
amendment dedicating a portion of the proceeds from the State sales
tax to local property tax relief;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Eden Prairie
state its support for a constitutional amendment dedicating a two-
percent state sales tax to the Local Government Trust Fund; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City strongly urges that the
League of Minnesota Cities, the Association of Metropolitan
Municipalities, and Municipal Legislative Commission take official
positions supporting a constitutional amendment dedicating this
State sales tax to the Local Government Trust Fund; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City requests that the League
of Minnesota cities begin coordinating a series of state-wide
"Truth-in-Taxation" meetings with property taxpayers, to be held
/wz
this fall, to educate the public and candidates for state elected •
offices on the issues regarding the need for a constitutional
amendment dedicating 2¢ of each 6~¢ collected by the state sales
tax to the Local Government Trust Fund to protect local property
tax relief funds from budget cuts during the 1993 Legislative
session; and lastly
BE IT PURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Eden Prairie
recognize the State budget constraints, and the City, as part of
its support to the State, will continue its constant review of City
services to ensure that there are cost efficiencies at the local
government level.

Additional Funding for community Survey
Background: In 1990, the City retained Decision Resources, Ltd. (DRL) to
conduct a random telephone survey to gauge residents' preferences and
attitudes toward City services and the community. This survey also
provided a comparison with other communities and a baseline to measure
changes in future surveys. Community surveys are still considered to be
innovative tools for cities to use, and are becoming more common as cities
embrace a customer-focused commitment to quality.
The 1992 Budget authorized $7,000 to perform a follow-up survey. This
amount was based upon a figure from DRL for a typical, shortened version
of the survey it generally uses. When staff met with DRL, it became
readily apparent that the shorter survey -designed more for cities with
relatively stable populations and development -would not provide the
information needed to track the City's progress and identify the emerging
needs of our still-transforming community.
The Issue: When reworking and updating of the 1990 questionnaire was
completed, the cost for the 400-respondent random sample survey came in
at $14,420.
At about 190 questions, the proposed survey is some twenty percent shorter
than the 1990 version. Many of the questions are identical. Questions
related to the landfill, new city hall, Miller Park and park acquisitions,
and building moratoria have been deleted, as have some questions where
residents gave clear messages in their responses. New area of questions
include swimming pools, voluntarism, and historical programs.
Several questions are included about public transit. Southwest Metro
staff has indicated that it has sufficient funds to contribute to the
$1000 cost for this part of the survey.
Staff is continuing to work at shortening the survey. It appears that any
further reductions will be relatively modest if the goals of tracking
baseline progress and identifying emerging issues are to be maintained.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the use of an additional
$5500 of the contingency account, and to accept the offer of Southwest
Metro to pay the portion of the survey related to public transit
(approximately $1000). Should the Council approve this recommendation,
telephone work for the survey would be underway by mid August •

Based on the recent fmalization of the acquisition of the land banking parcels, we
have revised the TIF Project Schedule and the Cash Flow Analysis.
The project schedule is identical to the one previously submitted dated July 1,
1992, except that the land banking costs have been revised to reflect actual
conditions and Medcom Boulevard was moved ahead from 1995 to 1994. The
Cash Flow Analysis reflect the same changes and the result is a net balance at the
end of the project period of $175,714. Since these figures are budget numbers
only, the cash flow analysis should be taken to mean that income and

TO: Mayor and City Council members
THROUGH: Carl Jullie, City Manager /2
FROM: Eugene A. Dietz, Director of Public Works P,
DATE: July 6, 1992
SUBJECT: Tree Planting in the Right-of-Way
SUMMARY:
The City Council has asked that a report be prepared regarding the feasibility of planting trees
in the right-of-way of our street system. The question about whether trees can be planted in the
right-of-way has always been easy to answer --absolutely! The issue as to whether or not it
is advisable to do so has always been the point of debate. In collaboration with Stuart Fox, I
have attempted to summarize our own opinions on this matter as well as information gleaned
from other communities in the area. If, after reading this information, the City Council chooses
to proceed with some form on right-of-way tree planting program, it must be with the
understanding that it will be an increased service level for our community and appropriate
funding must be dedicated for the program.
Aesthetics is the only reason to consider tree planting within City right-of-way. All other
beneficial aspects of urban forests (and there are many) can be accomplished by plantings
outside of the right-of-way.
DISCUSSION:
A number of issues surface when a discussion of planting trees in the right-of-way occurs. As
indicated, aesthetics is the single reason to place the trees in the right-of-way, while such things
as cost, tree health, space availability and traffic issues are a few of the counter points. By
general category, the balance of this memorandum attempts to summarize the non-aesthetic
issues for your consideration.
Adequate Room For Growth: Depending on species and care, trees can be planted virtually
anywhere, but the growth rate and life expectancy will vary greatly depending on where it is
planted. For example, an urban street tree, such as on Nicollet Avenue has a life expectancy
of twelve years. Whereas, we have seen many examples of 200-year old Oak trees in an
undisturbed setting within our community. Trees need adequate room to develop a proper root
system in order to grow to their potential. When a tree is in a close proximity to asphalt there
are many more problems with heat stress due to reflected heat. In close proximity to the streets,
salt damage can be a major retardant to tree growth since salt can accumulate in the soil for a
potential long term affect.
Additionally, many of the potentially disease resistant tree varieties that are available for planting •
have a different branching pattern than the American Elm --the historic street tree in our
country. Horizontal branching on trees planted too close to the edge of the street make them
susceptible to damage from vehicles until the tree has matured enough to gain clearance height.
There are some proported disease resistant Elm trees and such trees as the Hackberry that tend
to have the vase shape associated with the American Elm that creates a cathedral-like canopy
over the street. However, some experts would suggest that tree varieties be varied greatly to
limit the possibility of a major impact due to a "Dutch Elm" disease. The result is that we
wouldn't necessarily get the kind of effect that many people imagine in a boulevard tree planting
program.
Why Does It Work In Minneapolis?: Minneapolis has an active boulevard tree program that
probably grew out of necessity. There are many areas in Minneapolis that have lots that are
only 40 feet wide and set backs from the right-of-way that are 20-25 feet. The result is that
there is very limited room to plant trees on private property and the right-of-way is the only
available space. Additionally, Minneapolis was developed with an overhead wiring system and
has limited buried utilities in the boulevard area.
In Eden Prairie and virtually all the newer suburbs, all utilities are underground. Eden Prairie,
like many cities, have had standards for a number of years regarding specific locations for each
of the underground utilities. Exhibits A through E show the typical street sections in our
construction standards. Most of our residential streets are 50-foot right-of-way widths with a
28-foot street. There are four utilities which must go in this right-of-way area (cable television
is not shown) which would be in conflict with tree planting. While not an insurmountable •
obstacle, this conflict does not exist in a Minneapolis system that has the overhead utilities in
an alleyway.
If trees are to be accommodated in the right-of-way, it would be necessary to provide enough
room to reduce the potential conflicts. This could be done in two ways --by widening the right-
of-way or requiring that the utilities relocate outside of the right-of-way. The City of Eagan,
for example, allows tree planting in certain right-of-ways, but their minimum right-of-way width
is 60 feet compared to 50 feet in Eden Prairie. St. Louis Park has an active tree planting
program, but again has a minimum 6O-foot right-of-way width.
The City of Plymouth does not allow tree planting in new developments, but they do some of
their own planting on their higher type facilities (such as Municipal State Aid streets) each year.
These right-of-way widths are usually 80-100 feet, which allows for proper space. In addition,
Plymouth has required that utilities be placed in a 10-foot easement on private property adjacent
to the City right-of-way. Maple Grove allows tree planting in the boulevard by policy, but
residents are strongly encouraged to plant trees in the area of 15-25 feet from the back of the
curb. Maple Grove has a minimum 60-foot right-of-way with a 30-foot wide street.
Finally, the Minneapolis street system is a grid system and the resulting effect for the canopied
boulevard trees is quite dramatic. It should be noted that Eden Prairie has generally a
curvilinear street system which will not result in the same effect. •

Maintenance Issues: As previously indicated, salt damage can occur to trees planted too close
to the street. However, we do have a need to provide some space for snow storage in the winter
months. At the current time, we use very little salt and sand on low volume residential streets.
That could be changing, since there has been some move towards classifying the sand residue
that we sweep up each spring as a hazardous waste. If that occurs, a higher percentage of
materials that we use on the street for ice control will salt. Additionally, a particular problem
exists with trees being planted in cul-de-sac areas. Snow plowing on cul-de-sacs is extremely
difficult at present due to mailbox, driveway and fire hydrant locations. If more of the available
snow storage space is dedicated to trees, this essential maintenance function could be greatly
hampered.
A limited amount of damage can be expected with trees close to streets resulting from root
damage which can cause some heaving of sidewalks and curb and gutter. This can be somewhat
controlled by tree selection, which can also minimize the difficulties with root problems in
sanitary and storm sewers --a potential cost to both the City and private property owners.
Obviously, this can also be limited by proper location of trees away from service lines.
One of the largest unknowns that we have in the suburban area is the actual longevity of
underground utilities. At some point utilities such as telephone, cable television and power will
have to be replaced. It is clear from the Exhibits A through E that space is available beyond
the current utility location requirements. However, when it is time to replace one of these
existing systems, an alternate location must be utilized in order to keep the old system in service
until the new system can be brought on line. This essentially results in a need to have two -
locations available for each buried utility. Early in the decision making process to require
utilities to be buried, the expectation was that the longevity for these systems would be as great
or greater than overhead utilities. However, these is every indication that this may not be true
and that a more frequent repair and/or replacement program will be necessary.
Traffic Issues: Boulevard trees can cause some difficulties with sight distance at intersections.
This can be alleviated with specific standards regarding distance from intersection, etc.
Additionally, trees in a boulevard situation can conflict with traffic signage. This of course can
be mitigated through a trimming program and/or sign relocation.
Cost: The City of Minneapolis has a total budget for their forestry program of $5,700,000 per
year. This budget is in place to maintain both boulevard trees as well as trees in their park
system and on public property. With this budget, they maintain a trimming program on a 3 to
4th year rotation and they perform all of the maintenance on right-of-way trees, including
replanting, removal and inspection. Although the Minneapolis program is huge, it does lend
credibility to the idea that some proportion to population can be used to determine budget needs
for a more intense forestry program. For example, the City of St. Louis Park has what appears
to be a very similar program with a total budget of approximately $500,000. St. Louis Park
employs five full time people to perform all of the aspects of their program.
Exhibit F is a compilation of three memos from the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Department dated October 31, 1989; November 15, 1989; and August 8, 1990. These
memorandums were provided to the City Council at one point and attempted to identify the cost
necessary for landscaping medians and major intersections in the Major Center Area. While the
memorandums dealt with flowers as well as trees, it does give an indication of the cost
associated with tree plantings in the right-of-way.
Cities such as Maple Grove and Bloomington require that the homeowner be responsible for
maintenance of trees within the right-of-way adjacent to their property. In conversations with •
those communities, they admit that the system has not been tested with an aging tree population
or a widespread disease problem.
One interesting hidden cost aspect that turns out to be significant came from a conversation with
the City of Hopkins. Hopkins does have a program to plant boulevard trees and has done so for
years. One of the resultant maintenance requirements is that leaves falling from these boulevard
trees must be removed each fall and spring or else the catch basins tend to plug up during
rainfall and snow melt situations. Hopkins has found that people tend to take advantage of this
situation and deposit leaves from their property on to the city street for removal by the city.
The result is that they have inadvertently increased their service level for their residents in a
rather round-about way. Cities that do leaf removal do have a significant cost, equipment and
manpower commitment for these programs.
CONCLUSIONS:
As indicated earlier, the only reason to consider tree planting in the right-of-way is for aesthetic
purposes. The purpose of this memorandum is to allow the Council to make a policy decision
regarding the issue of tree planting in the right-of-way and to be able to answer the primary
counter point to the aesthetic value of trees in our community right-of-way system --at what
cost?
The City has committed to development of an urban landscaping scheme in the Major Center
Area for selected streets at a cost of $1,600,000. In addition, approximately $2,400,000 has
been earmarked for the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area. Both of these projects will include
tree plantings within the right-of-way and on City property. I would suggest that in this segment
of the community we have a decision to proceed with right-of-way planting and that it can be
accommodated within the right-of-way or on adjacent property. As these plans are fully
developed, the Parks and Recreation Department can more fully develop a cost estimate to
maintain these landscaped areas.
On the other extreme, it would be my recommendation that tree plantings not be permitted in
50-foot right-of-way residential areas. Almost all the communities that I spoke to do not allow
plantings in this narrow of a right-of-way. I would further contend that a 4-foot difference
between where a tree could be planted within the right-of-way and placing it outside the right-of-
way would be negligible in the overall character of the street scape. In other words, keeping
trees back from the curb line would give the streets a similar character to some of the
communities that allow the trees in their 15-foot boulevard, yet we would essentially avoid all
the cost of maintaining the trees and most of the utility conflicts.
As indicated in the memorandums from the Parks and Recreation Department, MnDOT and
Hennepin County will essentially not allow us to plant within their right-of-way. If we eliminate
•
the 50-foot right-of-way and as discussed previously deal with the Major Center Area in a •
special way, that leaves us with our collector street system and some of our Municipal State Aid
streets. These street systems however are the very ones that we do install sidewalks and trails
1&12
•
•
•
for pedestrian systems, which reduces the space availability for tree planting. If the Council
determines that provision for tree planting should be accommodated within the right-of-way, I
would suggest that it be on the following basis:
• Right-of-way widths be increased by a minimum of five feet and more desirably ten feet
on those locations where trees are planned to be installed.
• The location should be by permit only, which would limit species and location.
• Staffing levels be increased in order to handle the maintenance and permitting process
of the trees.
• Plantings be limited to wider right-of-ways that accommodate our collector and MSA
roadway facilities.
• A more precise utility location plan would have to be negotiated with the electric,
telephone, gas and cable television companies. This would also require some strategic
planning regarding the future of sidewalks in our community so that trails and sidewalks
can be accommodated into the plan.
• The initial attempt would be on the basis that the homeowner would be responsible for
maintenance in residential neighborhoods (with a strong possibility that they could
become City maintained trees in the future) .
ALTERNATIVE:
My recommendation would be an alternative that would include the Major Center Area planting
as proposed along with generally maintaining the right-of-way free of tree plantings. In order
to accommodate tree plantings within the right-of-way, a higher spending and service level will
ultimately be necessary which would include such things as planting, trimming, removals and
potential leaf pick up. We could achieve very nearly the same effect in our street scape if
developers were required to plant one or two trees one to three feet outside of the right-of-way
line as part of the subdivision process. Existing neighborhoods could be encouraged to do
similar plantings and perhaps some sort of tree planting plan could be subsidized by the City for
the area immediately adjacent to the right-of-way.

Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources commission
Robert A. Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation &
Natural Resources
FROM: Barbara Penning Cross, Landscape Architect~
DATE: October 3~, ~989
SUBJECT: Landscaping Medians and/or Major Intersections
Landscaping within center medians is an eye catching way to
beautify the City of Eden Prairie. Before decisions can be made
as to how and where the landscaping should be placed, the parks,
recreation and natural resources staff has gathered the following
information and concerns:
DESIGN
A wide array of design alternatives are possible, using plant
materials, paving, planters and lighting as the basic building
blocks.
The different colors and textures of plant materials should be
utilized to provide the most impact and visual stimUlation.
Flowers in bloo~ all season would provide the biggest splash of
color. Annual flowers bloom more profusely all. summer in a wider
variety of colors than do perennials.
Shrubs provide some screening between lanes and provide vertical
relief to the flatness of the roadway. Flowering shrubs will add
color as well as height to the median. A plain green shrub mass
would provide a solid backdrop accentuating the color of the flower
beds. .
Trees planted within medians provide shade from the heat and glare
of roadways. Trees also define the roadways channeling the vehicle
through a space rather than across a flat sector of pavement.
Other amenities that help decorate landscaped areas are special
paving such as brick, colored concrete and bomanite.
These paving surfaces clean up edges, and keep maintenance for turf
areas to a mininun in an attractive way.
Planters for shrub masses and flower beds are commonly used to add
interest and give height, and they also break the monotony of
roadside plantings.
Decorative lighting is also an item that would give character and
identity to the ~edians within the City.
(
A myriad of possibilities exist for design of these medians .
Budget, safety, and maintenance concerns are factors that will
influence the design of these areas.
LOCATION
Highly visible places for planting landscape materials have been
identified on a map. They have been broken down into maj or
entrances into the city, maj or or visible intersections, and
existing medians which could be landscaped.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation owns all right-of-ways
along I494 and 212/169. They are responsible for all improvements
and maintenance to these highways. I was unable to reach the key
person to get preliminary approval, but in my discussions the
following unofficial information and concerns were obtained:
• The median strips between the road sections in this area are used
as drainage swales during storms and are not available.
• If permission is granted to plant along some of the upper slopes,
maintenance of these areas is the responsibility of the City.
• A concern was expressed as to how city crews would access the
site. Due to the high speeds 0 these roadways, cars at slow
speeds entering, exiting or working could cause a serious risk
to health and property.
Hennepin County is responsible for two large stretches where
medians occur. The first is Valley View Road from Mitchell Road
east to Highway 169/212. The second is Mitchell Road from Valley
View, south to Highway 5. I spoke to Dennis Hansen with Hennepin
County and h~ expressed the following thoughts and concerns:
• Maintenance is currently the responsibility of the County. If
the city does any planting it would be up to the City to maintain
the medians. The city would have to accept liability for all
plant materials lost due to snow removal and storage, salt and
chemical damage or accidents.
• The county would not approve anything that
vehicle should jump a curve. Tree trunks
would be examples of unyielding objects.
flowers or shrubs would be acceptable.
was unyielding if a
and light standards
Hansen stated that
site distance problems at intersections would need to be
addressed so shrubs would not block views .
. The city would have to go through a permit process, but he didn't
see any reason it would not be approved if we complied with the
above concerns.
The city of Eden Prairie maintains the medians along Prairie Center
Drive from Highway 5, south along the ring road and back up to
•
•
169/212, and also along Single Tree Lane. Gene Dietz, Director of
Public Works, expressed similar thoughts and they are as follows:
Maintenance was his biggest concern and he wanted the Park
Department to be responsible for maintenance including plant
replacement if any landscaping should occur. He said the gets
"lots of complaints about the maintenance of the medians strips
and would be very glad for somebody else to assume the
. headaches" •
. Most of the utilities are buried in the ROW, but medians should
be clear with the exception of electric wires for stop signals
and storm sewer. He thought for the most part they would be deep
enough to not cause us any problems .
• Mr. Dietz stated he was not concerned with maintenance vehicles
if the city was careful to avoid busy times during the day to
service the medians.
Entrances to the city have been identified on the map. Primary
entrances would be the MnDot Highways 494, 169/212, Highway 5,
County Road 1, Dell Road, Eden Prairie Road, Baker Road and
Anderson Lakes Parkway.· These well travelled entrances into the
City are prime locations where landscaping could occur to announce
Eden Prairie. County Road 18 is scheduled to be upgraded within
the next 5 years. This construction schedule may affect timing or
coordinating joint efforts.
Major intersections which are very visible or heavily traveled have
also been shown on the map as possible sites for landscape
improvements.
Gene Dietz, Director of Public Works for Eden Prairie, had more
concerns with planting off the streets in the ROW areas than in the
medians. He said in order to keep costs down, most City streets
only have a 50' ROW. The City also requires new developments to
bury electric, telephone, and cable TV lines during construction.
With a typical road at 28' it only leaves 11; on each side of the
roadway to bury gas lines, electric lines, water lines, cable TV
and telephone lines. Underground utilities will be more prevalent
at intersections where new subdivisions and building has taken
place.
city Code directs property owners not to install plant materials
within the City ROW to keep clear of all of these buried utilities.
Mr. Dietz also stated that visibility and site distance problems
can occur when plantings are within the ROW, and feels the City
policy is a good one. A property owner can plant a tree on their
property 11' from the roadway, which also gives the city room to
store snow without damaging trees.
Limited tree
as utilities
for the most
and shrub planting would still be acceptable as long
and site distance are respected. Flower beds would . ,
part, not lnterfere with site distance or utilities.
(
/
l
Planters could also be utilized to keep clear of utility lines and
to give intersections a more polished look.
COST AND MAINTENANCE
Due to the wide variety of design options and the different sizes
of medians, the following cost projections are preliminary and are
intended to give a ballpark estimate for comparison and discussion.
Further cost estimates need to be undertaken as the designs are
more finalized.
In order to facilitate discussion, I have broken the medians down
into 4 categories to give estimated costs. The drawing shows a
sample of what each category could look like. Please keep in mind
these are only possibilities and not the finished product. Broken
down cost estimates are on the attached sheets, but bottom line
costs for an average median of 13,000 sq. ft. are shown as follows:
1. flowers only -$6,970 per median
2. flowers and shade or ornamental trees -$7,020 per median
3. trees, shrubs and flowers -$7,925 pr median
4. shrubs and flowers -$8,700 per median
For the most part estimated prices include labor for installation.
Construction and landscape proj ects such as this are normally
contracted out due to the heavy work load of our City crews. The
flower planting will be an annual event and it is the only cost
estimate that the labor for the City crews have included. Two
estinates are listed for the city personnel. 4A is the cost for
seasonal help assuming $6 per hour. 4B is the cost of our full-
tine help using the $6 per hour figure. In order to simplify the
bottom line, I have used the seasonal help figure in the total
since if this project were implemented, more seasonal people would
. be needed.
Maintenance cost have not been included in these cost estimates.
The cost of maintaining these medians will vary greatly depending
on what is planted, detailing and if the median is irrigated.
COSTS FOR TREES AND SHRUBS
Occasionally a shrub or tree will need to be replaced due to
drought, snow storage, or salt damage, but the expense will not be
incurred each year. Maintenance for trees and shrubs will require
daily or weekly waterings while the plants are young, but when the
plant is established and edging and mulch is used and properly
installed, maintenance costs are reasonably low and for the most
part limited to weekly watering, weeding and litter pickup.
Annual flowers will be an ongoing yearly expense. Costs each year
must include the price of the flowers, as well as labor costs for
installation and maintenance. Mid May is the best time to plant
annual flowers and unfortunately it is also one of the busiest
tines for our park maintenance crew. In order for this Project to

be implemented and still get our parks ready for use, additional
help must be obtained. Additional seasonal park maintenance peop~e
or contracted employees would be realistic, since the scale of th~s
project would probably be larger than volunteers would undertake.
Watering flowers is also labor intensive. With little shade and
the heat from the surrounding pavement, our park crews estimate
watering will be needed every other day unless rain is frequent.
The city has two water trucks, which according to union contracts
can only be driven by full-time city personnel at the $16/hour
labor rate. Our Park Manager estimated $10 per 1000 sq. ft. or 131
per median for. each tirnethe flowers are watered. The city water
trucks are shared by the Park Department and the Street Department.
Use of the water trucks is not guaranteed, especially when City
street .crews are. seal coating roads and trails.
The city also have two pickup trucks with tanks that will hold 250
gallons of water. These trucks may be driven by seasonal help in
at the lower hourly rate, but it would be a much slower process due
limited capacity and pressure. The Park Manager estimates both
trucks would be in service the majority of time if all the medians
are planted, removing two trucks from the city fleet.
Other costs involved with flower maintenance to keep them looking
good, would include weeding, removing dead flower heads to
stimulate blooming and litter removal.
,.,., . . ..' .
(
Sod has also been included on the plans as a poss1ble ground cover
to break up flower and shrub beds. While probably not as labor
•
intensive as flowers, sod needs to be cut, trimmed, and watered to
keep it looking good. Mowing and trimming costs are estimated to
be $8 per 1000 sq. ft. using City equipment and seasonal help.
The costs that have been presented this far are costs for an
average 13,000 sq. ft. median. They vary somewhat in size and
shape, but 34 medians exist within Eden Prairie and could be part
of an overall beautification scheme. Costs are shown below for
each one of the 4 categories including maintenance. Estimates
include the following assumptions. Flower watering. is done with
full-time people and the city water truck 3 times per week from May
1 to September 15th. Mowing is done with seasonal people once a
week from April 8 to October 20th. Dividing the maintenance figure
by 34 will give you the maintenance cost for an average median.

The figures above present a more realistic view of costs to do all
the medians wi thin the City. Maintenance expenses are ongoing
yearly expenses. Once the project is started materials and labor
expenses are also ongoing expenses when flowers are part of the
design. -
An irrigation system is something that should be discussed as part
of this project. Although, initially very expensive, the
installation of an irrigation system would solve many problems.
It would eliminate the availability problem of getting the water
truck and leave the 2 pickup trucks free for watering plants and
flowers within the parks system. It would also eliminate any
traffic hazards created by the water truck as it is parked next to
the median or while accessing the site. preliminary cost estimates
show a system would be approximately $500 per 1000 sq. ft. to
irrigate, or about $6,550 for an average median. If all the
medians in town were done, $222,700 would be the projected cost.
The payback period for only flowers would be less than one year.
The payback time for flowers, trees and shrubs would be 1.7 years.
Other suggestions to cut down maintenance expenses would be to
maximize the use of shrubs and trees saving flower beds for accent
areas. The use of hard surface materials around sign posts would
save weekly trimmings. Techniques such as week control fertilizer,
edging and mulch can also greatly cut down maintenance expenses.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
This project has the potential to make our city a truly beautiful
city. Virtually everyone driving by will notice our landscaped
medians. This project also has the potential to be a real source
of complaints, if initial design and maintenance are not what the
public expects to see. Whatever the City does must be done well
and taken care of properly in order to achieve the goals of
beautifying the city of Eden Prairie.
There are two ways to begin a project like this depending on the
objectives of the Commission and Council. The first is to do a
•
•
•
i
/
large area very simply such as trees in the medians and increase
plant materials as money is . available. The other option for
implementation is to take a small area and focus time and money on
an area that shines. The first scheme would make an impact on a
large number of people due to the area the improvements cover.
The second scheme would make a large impact on a smaller number of
people because it is limited in only one area. Both of these
strategies have merit. consistency in design and materials will
be crucial to keep the project tied together.
One suggestion, if the Commission wants to pursue this, is to
select the intersection of County Road 4 and Valley View Road. The
entire western half of this highly visible intersection is already
owned by the city. If money is available, medians could also be
developed.
QUESTIONS THE C0i1HISSION AND COUNCIL SHOULD ADDRESS ARE:
Location of Improvements
1. Where are the improvements going to be located? Medians and
or intersections?
2. Should the project be phased? What areas are most important
and would give the most impact for the dollar?
Desian Concerns
1. Which option (1-4) is best for the city considering all
factors?
2. Are there some options not shown which would work better?
. Budaet Concerns
1. Where will the funding corne from?
2. Who will organize funds from business leaders?
3. How much money is needed or available?
Safety and Maintenance Concerns
1. Should the City pay to irrigate the landscaped medians?
2. Should the City allow trees (unyielding objects) on center
islands?

Staff has done another cost estimate for medians using the existing
sod and planting salt tolerant shade trees 25' on center. Two cost
estimates sheets are attached. One includes the cost for irriga-
tion, the second includes maintenance costs for watering. Both
estimates include mowing and trimming costs for each growing
season.

The estimated cost for 30

Mowing wi"ll be a yearly maintenance expense. For estimating
purposes, I have made the following assumptions. Mowing would be
done with seasonal people calculated at $8 per 1000 sq. ft. or $105
per median per mowing. * Costs for 28 mowings are $2,940 per year.
Watering trees can be done in two ways. The first is an irrigation
system. An estimated cost for an irrigation system for an average
median is $6,550. This is a one time expense for the initial
installation. Watering can also be done with the city crews using
a water truck. The following assumptions were made for cost
estimates. Water truck would be used once a week with full-time
personnel. Costs are estimated to be $10 per 1000 sq. ft., or a
$130 per watering. The watering season would be approximately from
May 1 through September 15th. Total Watering costs for the summer
would be $2,600. Watering in this fashion would be necessary once
a week while the trees are young and then subsequently dependent
on weather.
Start up costs for this landscape improvement program would be
$11,540* for a system with our City crews doing the watering or
$15,490 for a median with an irrigation system. Yearly mainten~nce
costs for the irrigated syst~m would just be mowing and trimming
for about $2,940 per year. Maln~enance costs without an irrigation
system would be $2,9~0 for,mowlng and $2,600 for watering, for a
total of $5,550. Agaln, thlS watering would be necessary while the
trees are young, and dependent on weather thereafter.
Costs for shade trees in the medians along Prairie Center Drive

linear feet. Ini tial costs with an irrigation system for the
entire project would be $92,940. Maintenance costs for mowing and
trimming for the entire project would be $17,640 per year. project
costs for the landscaped medians not including irrigation would be
$69,240. Maintenance costs for mowing, trimming and watering would
be $33,240 per year.
If the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission decides
to go ahead with this project, thought should be given as to how
this plan will be implemented. Questions for discussion might be:
1. What are the next steps in the process?
2. Who will coordinate the project?
3. Who will contact private businesses, clubs, etc.?
4. How will money accounts be set up for donations?
*28 mowings will be required if the medians are mO\ved once a week
from April 8-0ctober 20th.

REPORTS OF COMMISSIONERS AND STAFF
A. Reports of Landscaoe Architect
1. Landscaoing and Flowers for Medians
Refer to memo dated October 31, 1989 from Barb
Cross, Landscape Architect.
Cross said she toured the landscaped medians in
the Twin Cities area prior to doing her report.
She said that flowers provide the biggest accent,
shrubs provide screening and vertical relief to
the flatness of the road, trees provide shade and
prevent glare. Special paving and decorative lighting
can also be used.
In discussions with MnDot, Cross was told that
median strips between road sections are used as
drainage swales and are not available for landscaping.
Maintenance is the responsibility of the City and
they had a concern with the crews accessing the
site because of the high speeds of traffic on these •
roadways.
Hennepin County said that the City would be
responsible for any damage that occurred due to
snow or salt and they could not approve anything
that is unyielding to a vehicle, i.e. tree trunks
and lights. Site distance problems at intersections
would also have to be addressed.
The Public Works Department said that maintenance
is their biggest concern. Medians should be clear
for landscaping and he was not concerned with
maintenance vehicles working in these areas if
they avoid the busy times of the day.
The major intersections into the City which should
be considered for landscaping are 494, Hwys. 169/212,
Hwy. 5, Co. Rd. 1, Dell Road, Eden Prairie Road,
Baker Road and Anderson Lakes Parkway.
Planting in the right-of-way is not recommended
except for shrubs and flowers or possibly planters.
Cost estimates are as follows: flowers only $6970;
flowers and trees $7020; trees, shrubs and flowers
$7925; shrubs and flowers $8700. These cost are
per median and include installation and labor.
An average median is 1800' long and 13,000 sq.
ft. •

Baker asked how much of the cost is labor. Cross
said that if seasonal help is used, the cost would
be about $1500 and if full time help is used, the
cost would be about $4000.
Cross added that the initial cost is more for trees
and shrubs: however, this is nota cost that is
incurred every year. Flowers are an ongoing expense
and would have to be replaced annually.
Cross said that two water trucks are shared by
the Park Department and the Street Department and
can be driven by full time personnel only at a
cost of $16 per hour. Use of these trucks is not
guaranteed. There are also two pickup trucks with
water tanks that can be driven by seasonal help,
but watering would be done on a much slower basis.
Other costs involved with flowers include weeding,
removing dead flower heads and litter removal.
There are 34 medians in the City. Total costs
for all medians are: flowers only $504,193; flowers
and trees $481,332: flowers, shrubs and trees $398,293 (.
and shrubs and flowers $296,120. Cross added that
an irrigation system should also be discussed at
a cost of $6550 per median or a total of $222,700
for all medians.
Cross felt that there were two ways to start a
landscaping project. One is to do a large area
very simply and the other is to do a small area
very well. Staff's suggestion is to start with
the intersection of Co. Rd. 4 and Valley View Road
near Round Lake Park.
Cook said he does not agree with starting in Round
Lake Park.
Lambert commented that Barb's report was not meant
to discourage the landscaping project, but rather
to advise the commission what expenses would be
involved. He added that the City Council is looking
at cutting back the budget and does not know how
they would feel about a project of this type.
He agrees that one area should be done initially
to see what the reaction is and whether any local
businesses would be willing to fund it.

-10-• Mikkelson commented that he did not think the
suggestion was to do the project on such a large
scale.
Baker said he feels the City Council should be
APproached with the suggestion. He has discussed
the project with several people and one idea was
to have a contest in 5 to 10 locations perhaps
with materials donated by the City and have civic
organizations either provide the labor or donate
money for the project.
Lambert said that in speaking with the City Manager,
using volunteers or civic organizations would be
working in a median would be a liability concern.
Baker said that perhaps the City could ask for
contributions and erect a plague announcing the
sponsor.
Lambert suggested planters at intersections because
of all the underground wiring in these locations
for traffic signals, etc.
Cross said she hesitates to provide a landscape
in plan for intersections because they are all
so different.
Cook said he feels that residents of Eden Prairie
will be of the opinion that funds should be used
for other purposes rather than landscaping.
Richard said he feels that Prairie Center Drive
from Rainbow to Lunds is an important area to consider
landscaping for three reasons: many businesses
are located in this area, there is a good deal
of traffic and there are large medians to work
with. He said the landscaping should be kept very
simple and done completely through donations.
Joyer commented that residents took notice of the
flowers that were planted at Staring Lake. She
felt that landscaping should begin at Round Lake
or Riley Lake, but is in favor of the idea.
Helling said she feels that the intersection by
Round Lake Park would be an ideal location to begin.
She felt that either the Lions Club or Optimists
Club might be willing to fund it.

Mikkelson agreed and added that a plaque showing
the sponsors of the landscaping would be seen easily,
as many people walk in this area.
MOTION: Richard moved to recommend that the
landscaping project in Eden Prairie begin by planting
trees along the boulevard 30' from center on Prairie
Center Drive from Valley View Road to Hwy. 169
and that Barb Cross bring designs and costs for
this project back to the commission with the objective
that the City spend no money.
On call for discussion, Cook said that he feels
landscaping at Round Lake Park should be done
separately regardless of the decision made on
landscaping in other areas of the City.
Karpinko seconded the motion and it passed 5-0.
Reports of Manager of Recreation Services
1. Adaptive Recreation Proqram UEdate
Refer to memo dated October 30, 1989 from Beth
Timm, Adaptive Recreation Supervisor.
Beth reported that the adaptive recreation program
was begun 18 months ago and includes both segregated
and integrated programs. She showed the commission
a slide show on highlights of the program during
the summer. 103 children participated in the-program,
8 of them from Eden Prairie. Eden Prairie is the
newest member of the cooperative program which
also includes Bloomington, Edina and Richfield.
Some activities included in the program are
playground, art camp (Edina), swimming lessons
and teen center (Bloomington).
2. Youth Athletic Association Appreciation Dinner
Helling said that a recap of the event and expenses
involved were included in the packets. 135 people
were invited and 68 attended. 16 businesses donated
door prizes valued at $450 for the event. Expenses
included $400 for Mark Rosen as the speaker, printing
costs, a plaque for each of the athletic association
presidents, supplies, hors d'oevres and dinner
which were contracted with the school district .

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and city Council
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources ~
DATE: June 26, 1990
SUBJECT: Landscape Medians
========================================
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission have spent
a number meetings discussing city beautification. One of the major
areas of concern is the grass median strip along Prairie Center
Drive in the Major Center Area. The Commission requested infor-
mation on the cost to construct and maintain landscaping within
these medians. Attached to this memo is a memo from Barb Cross
with projections for construction and maintenance of various land-
scape designs. Upon review of those figures, the Commission agreed
that installation and maintenance of large flower beds in those
areas is probably not feasible at this point in the City's develop-
ment, but also requested that landscaping of medians be discussed
with the city Council at a special meeting.
Some suggestions for improvements to medians include: installation
of trees, and smaller areas of flower beds at a limited number of
intersections. It has been suggested that perhaps a landscaping
plan for all of Prairie Center Drive should be developed and
included in the tax increment financing program for street improve-
ments in this area.
Commission members have also discussed the desirability of
improving the image of Eden Prairie by landscaping or planting
flowers along State and County roads where they enter the Eden
Prairie city limits. Bud Baker suggested that the City strongly
urge the state and County to do that sort of thing to Highway 494,
State Highway 5, and 169 before the PGA in 1991.
Commission members will look forward to discussing these ideas at
the July 10th meeting with the City Council.

MEMORANDUM
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources ~
August 8, 1990
SUBJECT: City Beautification
========================================
At the August 6th meeting, the Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission and the city Council agreed that at this point
the city cannot afford any extensive landscaping or beautification
projects. The city council is very supportive of this concept and
agrees that planning should be initiated to allow for those
projects, especially in the Major Center Area and on key inter-
sections with~n the City.
The city Council encouraged the Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission to consider the following:
1. Encourage or assist in the development of an Eden Prairie
Garden Club that would coordinate and initiate these various
beautification projects.
2. Contact City businesses to determine if they would consider
partnerships on specific beautification proj ects in their part
of the city.
3. Develop an overall concept plan for ultimate development of
medians in the Maj or Center Area to insure that when road
proj ects are· upgraded there is sufficient room for" tree
plantings, irrigations systems, and flower beds.
4. Contact the School District to determine if elementary schools
are interested in developing flower bed plantings at the
school/park sties.
5. Research other State or County agencies that may have grant
dollars available for beautification projects.
6. Contact the Twin City Tree Trust to see if they would be
willing to plant flowers or help develop planting beds.
7. Contact Eden Prairie public service organizations, such as the
Lions, the Eden Prairie Foundation, etc. to see if they're
willing to participate in any particular project.
The Council indicated that it was very important to "do it right"
by insuring that planting beds have irrigation systems to insure •
that they don't become an eyesore, rather than something of which
people can be proud. Council also believe that by developing
beautification projects people become more interested in, and aware
of, the environment and the beauty of our community.
