Officer DeMann and his canine partner not only obtained the minimum standard, but
surpassed the minimum with a very high proficiency rating. Their score was the highest of
49 canine teams which attended the event. The teams were from the Midwest (Wisconsin,
Iowa, and Minnesota).

I. CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Tenpas called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. All members were present.
1991 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Commission members reported on the various events and activities sponsored throughout the year and
explained proposed future plans for the events, including:
Historical Perspective/Sites -In an effort to preserve the personality of the City, the Commission worked
on restoration of historic sites and interviews of senior citizens on tape about their experiences in Eden
Prairie's past.
Heritage Preservation Commission -Through the Heritage Preservation Commission, the Historical and
Cultural Commission worked with the Minnesota Historical Society to complete surveys of historic sites
in Eden Prairie. In addition, they planned to prepare an overlay map of sites with historic or prehistoric
potential. The overlay would be completed for lands remaining to be developed in the City in an effort
to protect the integrity of any such historic sites prior to destruction by development.
Special Events -The Commission reported on the 4th of July Celebration and Sunbonnet Days, both of
which appeared to be growing each year.
Performing Arts -The Starring at Staring program had proven to be a successful and growing program.
Commissioners were working on involving more of the businesses in sponsorship of these events.
The Commission was searching for someone proficient in camera operations for these events. They were
also considering selling T-shirts and other items to raise money for the programs and suggested that it
would be helpful to have a spot to display and sell their products at the new City Hall.
Councilmembers discussed overflow parking at the events with the Commission. All concurred there
was a need for better directions and management of parking during events with high attendance.
The Commission stated that, in the future, they were considering a parade during the 4th of July even.
and more emphasis on youth programs, perhaps with story tellers, a youth arts camp, or other events
which would be designed for young audiences.
Art-on-City Walls -Works of various artist continued to be on display at City Hall and at various
businesses throughout the community.
m. VISIONING
A. Future Plans
Commissioners discussed how they addressed expectations for each area of their responsibility,
developed plans for the future, and set priorities to those plans. For example, the ten-year vision for
historical sites included expansion of historical and cultural knowledge of Eden Prairie by all citizens
through greater visibility of the Commission and educational opportunities in the schools.
The Commission and Council also discussed ways to fund restoration and preservation of historic
sites, including financing, tax incentives, and other in methods to encourage developers to protect
such sites.
B. Mission Statement and Renamin2 of Commission
The Commission had developed a new Mission Statement as follows: The Eden Prairie Cultur.
Commission is dedicated to preserve, to develop and to promote Eden Prairie's unique history
and arts. Commissioners believed it provided a better and more clear basis for measuring
accomplishments and setting an organizational structure for their work.
In tandem with the Mission Statement, the Commission asked the Council to consider a name change
to the Eden Prairie Cultural Commission, which was more representative of the tasks of the group.
Council members endorsed the name change and directed Staff to proceed with any necessary actions
to effect the change.
Commissioners also discussed a need for a larger group of people to work with their programs.
While they believed the Commission was the correct size and performed well in strategic ways, more
support was needed for their projects in tactical ways. Council members recommended review of the
applicants who were not appointed to commissions or boards as a good source of people to help with
their projects.

Regarding Item C., Pidcock reported she had received calls from residents of Village Greens whose
homes had flooded and who questioned the liability of the City for such flooding if, in fact, the City
had approved the grading and drainage for the property. Pauly said there may be instances of be
municipal liability, but it was difficult to give general response for a specific situation.
Gray said that the holding ponds did not function properly in this instance and that it was determined
that the ponds actually held less storage than originally approved by the City. Gray stated that the
reason for this appeared to be that the development w~s not graded in accordance with original design.
At this time, the City staff was investigating solutions to the problem, and believed it should be
corrected. •
Regarding Item E., Jessen asked if a final determination had been made as to the need for a second
ice resurfacer. Lambert responded that Staff research found that the second resurfacer was necessary

available to help direct people to overflow parking areas.

A. W ALGREENS by Walgreens. Request for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Medium Density
Residential to Community Commercial on .50 acres. Zoning District Change from RM-6.5 to
Community Commercial, Zoning District Amendment in the Community Commercial Zoning District
on 1.08 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. (Resolution No. 92-171 -Comprehensive Guide Plan Change;
Ordinance No. 31-92 -Zoning District Change from RM-6.5 to Community Commercial and Zoning
District Amendment in the Community Commercial Zoning District; and Resolution No. 92-172 -
Preliminary Plat)
John Kohler, architect for the developer, reviewed the details of the proposed development. Howard
Bergerud, a representative of Walgreens, explained that the philosophy of Walgreens had changed
toward becoming a neighborhood pharmacy instead of being a tenant in a mall, to better service to its
customers. The restaurant counter, formally a part of the Walgreens business, was also eliminated
from the store design. Therefore, this free-standing site was more attractive to Walgreens. For
privacy of the residents adjacent to the site, all windows, lights, and parking areas were at the front
of the store away from adjacent residential areas.
Pidcock asked if benches had been planned on the sidewalks for use by senior citizens. Bergerud
responded that they could be added.
Enger reported that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposal at its July 13th
meeting and further recommended that the Council authorize a traffic study for the area, noting that
the reasons for the traffic study were unrelated to the Walgreens proposal. Lambert reported that the
Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission recommended approval at its meeting July 20th.
Councilmembers discussed the traffic concerns and questioned whether the planned upgrades to the
intersection would alleviate the problems. Dietz responded that Staff had requested Hennepin County
review of the warrants at this location for the purpose of installation of a light, similar to that located
at County Road #4 and Wagner Way. He added that, until then, Staff would be monitoring the traffic
problems and would install signs in the problem areas as a control measure, if necessary.
Pidcock asked if the Southwest Metro Transit Commission had reviewed the plans, noting that a park
and ride facility had been planned in this location at one time. Enger said he would follow up with
Southwest Metro and report back to the Council.
----------------------------------------------------,
City Council Minutes 4 August 4, 1992
Denny Nesbitt, 16546 Terrey Pine Drive, Tom Halloran, 16507 Terrey Pine Drive, and Earl RO.
16503 Terrey Pine Drive, related concerns about traffic along Terrey Pine Drive from
SuperAmerica store, stating that it had been a constant problem since 1987, involving lights,
loudspeakers, traffic congestion, unsafe U-turns by trucks, and general disruption of the neighborhood.
The residents requested that Terrey Pine Court be a "court" again to cut off traffic from the
SuperAmerica past their homes. The neighbors acknowledged that they did not have any problems
with proposed Walgreens store.
Council directed Staff to work directly with the SuperAmerica regarding the concerns enumerated by
the residents and work with Hennepin County regarding the light at the intersection of Terrey Pine
Drive and County Road #4. Staff was further directed to keep the residents informed about any
progress on these issues.
Halloran also asked if the building could be moved further from him. Staff responded that it was
possible, but that there were constraints involving the proximity of the driveway to the intersection
of Highway #5 and County Road #4. Staff was directed to work with Halloran and Walgreens toward
mitigation of this concern.
Ross added that he felt the benches suggested would be an invitation for teens to hang-out and a
potential for vandalism if installed in this location and recommended that the benches not be included
in the plans.
1) Close the Public Hearing; • MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, to:
2) Adopt Resolution No. 92-171 for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change;
3) Approve 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 31-92 for Zoning District Change and Amendment;
4) Adopt Resolution No. 92-172 for the Preliminary Plat; and
5) Direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff
recommendations, excluding the recommendation for benches.
Motion carried unanimously.
B. FAIRFIELD WEST by Centex Homes. Request for rezoning from Rural to Rl-13.5 on 23.5 acres.
Preliminary Plat of 23.5 acres into 41 lots, 2 outlots and road right-of-way. Location: West of
Fairfield, south of Scenic Heights Road/Highway #212. (Ordinance No. 29-92 -Zoning District
Change from Rural to RI-13.5; and Resolution No. 92-167 -Preliminary Plat)
Dan Blake, Centex Homes, reviewed the detailed plans for the property, addressing the major concern
of tree loss and the preservation of the 35-acre remnant of the "big woods," a heavily forested area
along the western portion of the property. Blake explained the detailed and customized grading ~
building site management techniques proposed, which would keep tree loss to a maximum of 29"
He noted that construction of the rights-of-way through the property would account for 18 % tree loss,
and that home construction would be responsible for the remaining nine percent.
City Council Minutes 5 August 4, 1992
•
•
•
Enger reported that the Planning Commission considered this project at its June 22nd and July 23rd
meetings, and recommended approval at the latter meeting. Lambert reported that the Parks,
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission discussed the project on July 20th, and on a split vote,
continued the item to August 17th, with the request that Council delay action until after that meeting.
The purpose of the August meeting would be to look at costs of acquisition and funding opportunities
available for preservation of the "big woods. "
Councilmembers asked questions about the potential tree loss when compared to the standards of the
Tree Preservation Code requirements; how larger lots may effect the tree loss; the quality of the trees
and the overall woods; the desirability of purchasing all, or a part of the overall 35 acres of woods;
the cost of such a purchase; funding opportunities available for such a purchase; whether there were
other areas of "big woods" in Eden Prairie; whether it would be advisable to obtain at least a portion
of the wooded area via park dedication of ten percent of the property to the City, instead of fees in
lieu of dedication; and whether covenants or restrictions could be placed on the property regarding
allowable uses.
Enger responded that the requirements of the City Code would allow for 25% -30% tree loss for the
project; without the special protection proposed by Centex, however, tree loss would be closer to
46 %. Enger said it was not clear whether larger lots would mean preservation of more trees since
larger lots often meant larger homes and more amenities, like swimming pools or tennis courts, which
would also cause removal of trees.
Lambert explained that this wooded area had been graded as a C + quality by the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources since the eastern portion of the woods had been partially logged.
The remainder of the woods was in good condition. He explained that the Parks, Recreation, and
Natural Resources Commission considered this a unique property which should be purchased, if at all
possible. The purchase price was approximately $2,000,000, plus levied assessments. However,
funding opportunities from other agencies or from state or federal government sources was considered
virtually non-existent. Lambert said there were other areas of the City with "big woods" including
areas around Riley Lake, along the Minnesota River Bluff, and within the proposed Marsh Creek
development in west-central Eden Prairie.
Pauly explained that the City always had the option to request ten percent of the land for park
dedication instead of fees in lieu of dedication. He said the City could also place covenants and
restrictions as to use of the land by future owners. It was suggested that the developer prepare at least
two alternative plans showing what the development would be like if ten percent of the land was set
aside for park dedication.
Discussion continued regarding the possibility of purchasing only that part of the "big woods" that had
not been logged which was outside of the proposed development, and the opportunity to study the tree
preservation techniques proposed by the developer as to how well the techniques would preserve more
trees in such a densely wooded area. If successful, the techniques could be employed in other similar
areas of the community.
Councilmembers acknowledged that the City had made decisions affecting this property, such as
levying assessments on the land, which implied that the property was intended for development and,
therefore, preservation or purchase as a park area was even less viable as an option for the end use
I f~1 J

of the land. Council members concurred that the natural resources of the property should be protect~
and managed, however. .,
Debbie Fristed, 17247 Terrey Pine Drive, asked on behalf of her son, if the property could be
developed as a camp ground to allow for public access to the woods. Jessen noted that such
development would not save nearly as many trees.
Jim Ostenson, representing Tandem Properties, owner of the property, enumerated the public decisions
that impacted this wooded area, including alignment of Highway #212, Dell Road, and Scenic Heights
Road, as well as development of storm water holding pond for Highway #5 reconstruction in the area.
In response to the request of the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission for
continuation of the Council action, Ostenson stated that it would mean the development would have
to wait until 1993, because it would be too late to start this year.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue the hearing pending results of the
August 17th Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources public meeting regarding the wooded area of
the property. Motion failed on a vote of 2 - 3 -0 (Harris, Jessen, and Tenpas, against)
Councilmembers discussed options for action on the development proposal, with the majority agreeing
that the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission should hold its meeting August 17th,
with recommendations to be forwarded to the City Council by its August 18th meeting in order to
avoid unnecessary delay the developer.
MOTION: Jessen moved, seconded by Harris, to continue the public hearing to August 18t.
Motion carried unanimously.
C. SPRINGER-KLOOSTER SUBDIVISION by Diane Springer-Klooster. Request for Preliminary Plat
on 4 acres. Location: 17221 Terrey Pine Court. (Resolution No. 92-166 -Preliminary Plat)
Enger reported that the Planning Commission recommended approval of this item 'at its July 13th
meeting. There were no further comments from members of the audience.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Harris, to:
1) Close the Public Hearing; and
2) Adopt Resolution No. 92-166 for the Preliminary Plat.
Motion carried unanimously.
V.PAYMENT OF CLAIMS

A. Reports of Councilmembers
1. Stop Si2n in Herita2e Road Nei2hborhood
Pidcock said she had received a complaint about the removal of the stop sign at Luther Way and
Heritage Road. Dietz explained that the stop sign was often ignored at this location, which was
why it was removed. He explained that he had spoken with a concerned neighbor and would be
working with the police to monitor any difficulties which may be caused by the removal of the
sign.
2. Uncut Grass/Weeds Alon2 County Road #1
Pidcock said she had received a complaint about uncut grass, or weeds, along County Road #1.
Jullie explained the policy for dealing with this matter and stated he would follow through on the
complaint.
3. Council Compensation
Anderson asked about the policy for compensation of Councilmembers, stating that, in comparison
to other similar communities, Eden Prairie's Council was compensated less than other councils. -
Regarding the method of compensation, Anderson suggested the City establish guidelines for
consistency in how each member should submit claims for reimbursement for meetings attended
on behalf of the City.
City Council Minutes 8 August 4, 1992
Councilmembers concurred that accountability and consistency were important and directed Staf.
to prepare a set of guidelines for reimbursement for their review.
B. Report of City Mana2er
1. Proposal from Sterlin2 Group. Inc. for Services on "Downtown" Property
MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Jessen, to authorize the City Manager to execute an
agreement for services with the Sterling Group for $72,800, to be paid from tax increment funds.
Motion carried unanimously.
2. Proposal for Constitutional Amendment on Dedicatin2 Two-Cent Sales Tax to Local
Government Trust Fund
Jullie reported that other city governments and municipal associations had expressed interest in
calling for a constitutional amendment to dedicate the two-cent portion of the sales tax to the
Local Government Trust Fund (LGTF).
After discussion, Councilmembers were uncomfortable with the idea of a constitutional
amendment for this purpose, but agreed about the importance of protecting the LGTF monies.
Council directed Staff to prepare a strong statement on its behalf supporting dedication of two-
cents of the six-and-one-half cents collected by the State sales tax to the LGTF to protect local
property tax relief funds from budget cuts during the 1993 Legislative Session and to forward th.
statement to the appropriate agencies.
3. Community Survey
MOTION: Jessen moved, seconded by Anderson, to authorize the use of $5,500 from the
Contingency Account as additional funding for the follow-up Community Survey and to accept
the offer of Southwest Metro to pay for that portion of the survey related to public transit.
Motion carried on a 4-0-1 vote. (Harris abstained)
4. Purchasin2 Procedures for Items Less Than $25.000
MOTION: Jessen moved, seconded by Harris, to authorize purchases of less than $25,000 to
be approved by the City Manager, in accordance with current amendments to State Statutes.
Motion carried unanimously.
5. Settin2 Dates for Upcomin2 Council Workshops
Council members tentatively agreed to setting the next workshop session for Monday, August 25th
at City Hall.

City Council Minutes 9 August 4, 1992
• 1. Surface Water Manaeement Utility Study
In response to Council direction regarding establishment of a storm water utility for the City,
Dietz reported on the results of the study regarding creation of a Water Quality Management
Program for Eden Prairie, and recommended a schedule of public information meetings during
the next few months to determine whether the utility should be established.
Councilmembers raised questions regarding management of the utility, comparability to sewer and
water utilities, whether a board would be designated, how the utility would fit into the budget
process, how the Watershed Districts of the City would, or could, be involved, how the utility
would be coordinated with NURP standards, flood plain requirements, and wetland protection
issues. Council members concurred that it would be best to review the proposal in greater detail
during a workshop session and directed Staff to schedule the issue for the next available session.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Jessen, to extend the meeting past the 11:00 p.m. deadline to
11 :30. Motion carried unanimously.
•
2. TIF Project Schedule and Cash Flow (Continued from July 7, 1992)
Dietz reviewed the revised schedule for project implementation and cash flow in the TIF District
as requested by Council. He pointed out that the project schedule was now spread over a period
of seven years because of recent land bank purchases, noting that the schedule could be
compressed if the land was sold sooner than anticipated.
3. Tree Plantine in the Rieht-of-Way (Continued from July 7, 1992)
Dietz reviewed the memorandum regarding tree planting in City-owned right-of-way. Council
directed that the memorandum be placed on file for future reference.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
FROM: John Gertz, Historical Interpreter
DATE: August 11, 1992
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Agreement between Federal Highway Administration,
Minnesota Department of Transportation and Minnesota Historical
Society State Historic Preservation Office
Federal regulation Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (1966)
requires all agencies using federal funding to evaluate project areas for
cultural resouces impact.
The Eden Prairie Heritage Preservation Commission has an oversight role under
Section 106, in preparing nominations to the National Register of Historic
Places, designating properties worthy of preservation under the local historic
preservation ordinance, and review responsiblities of reports and agreements
involving the City.
Presently, the Commission will be reviewing the Memorandum of Agreement whereby
the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the State Historic Preservation
Office have identified cultural resources impacted within the T.H.212 corridor
through Eden Prairie. This agreement also defines mitigation procedures •
Commission Chair, Arthur Weeks, will be required to sign the Memorandum of
Agreement once the Commission has reviewed it. This will likely happen after
the Commission meets in September.
Concerns at this time are minimal, though the Commission has not thoroughly
reviewed the agreement. The historic area most impacted by the 212 corridor is
the old "downtown" district which surrounded the intersections of the
Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway (1871) and Eden Prairie Road (County Road 4).
This area flourished, at one time providing services beyond the local area. The
area also fits into three of the City's recently developed Historic Contexts;
transportation, agricultural settlement, and milling and manufacturing.
However, very few associated property types remain. Because this district is
important, the State Historic Preservation Office will require that MnOOT survey
and record the area before construction.
Prehistoric sites through the corridor apparently are not significant or
National Register eligible. This does not preclude local significance however.
Tentative plans are being made to organize a Steering Committee with
representatives from MnDOT, SHPO and the HPC. This Committee will enable the
HPC to guide subsequent survey work and ensure for the City comprehensive
documentation of the old downtown and other sites as needed •

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Tenpas and City Council members
THROUGH: Alan D. Gray, City Engineer
FROM: Jeffrey Johnson, Engineering Technician
DATE: August 13, 1992
SUBJECT: Fmal Plat Approval of Springer-Klooster Addition
PROPOSAL: Diane Springer-Klooster has requested City Council approval of the fmal plat of
Springer-Klooster Addition. Located south of Trunk Highway 5 along the north shore
of Mitchell Lake, the plat contains four acres to be divided into one single family lot and
one outlot. Lot 1 contains one acre and Outlot A contains three acres. Both lots contain
existing single family homes and Outlot A could be a subject of a future three-lot
subdivision.
HISTORY: The preliminary plat was approved by the City Council August 4, 1992 per
Resolution No. 92-166. This site was zoned R1-22 prior to July 1, 1982 and no zoning
change is requested with this proposal.
VARIANCES: This proposal is scheduled to come before the Board of Appeals on August 14,
1992 for approval of variance request to City Code regarding street frontage and the
Shoreland Ordinance. Recommend that the approval of the final plat be contingent upon
approval by the Board of Appeals for requested variances.
UTILITIES AND STREETS: Municipal utilities are not readily available to serve this project,
and the existing residences are on existing well and septic systems. Any further
subdivision of proposed Outlot A would require extension of municipal utilities to serve
future lots.
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of the final plat of Springer-Klooster Addition
subject to the requirements of this report.

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: August 6, 1992
SUBJECT: Award Bid for Ice Resurfacer
The City received bids for an ice resurfacer at 2:00 p.m., Thursday, August 6, 1992. Sealed
bids were received from Olympia and Zamboni. The base bid from Zamboni including delivery
charges totaled $47,196. The City would be responsible for State sales tax of $3,067.74, for
a total cost of the Zamboni ice resurfacer of $50.263.74.
Olympia's base bid was $45,267, plus $850 delivery charges for a total bid of $46,117, plus
$2,942.36 State sales tax, for a total including freight and tax of $49,059.36.
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff believe that both machines are excellent ice resurfacers and recommend purchase of
the Olympia model XLllO ice resurfacer for a total cost of $49,059.36.
City staff recommend purchasing this machine from the general fund reserve with the intent of
continuing to seek two major corporate sponsors each willing to pay for 50% of the machine that
would allow them the ability to use one side of the machine for an advertising logo. If the City
is unable to obtain corporate sponsors willing to pay for a permanent logo, staff will investigate
the possibility of shorter term advertising aimed at eventually obtaining 100% of the purchase
cost through donations/advertising.

existing Zamboni® Ice Resurfacer and a new one. This can provide you with
savings by only having to stock spare parts for 1 machine as opposed to 2.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM:
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Carl Jullie, City Manager
Bob Lambert
Director Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
DATE: August 6, 1992
SUBJECT: Fairfield West/Big Woods Development Alternatives
BACKGROUND:
At the July 20th meeting the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
recommended delaying action on the Fairfield West proposal in order to schedule a public
meeting on the Big Woods. The purpose of the public meeting was to provide the citizens of
Eden Prairie an opportunity to comment on whether or not the City should attempt to acquire
all or part of the Big Woods.
•
The City staff reference to this sugar maple/basswood woods as the "Big Woods" has led some •
people to believe that this forty acre parcel is the only remnant of the big woods that once
covered a significant portion of eastern and southern Minneosta. In fact Eden Prairie has many
examples of "Big Woods" remnants. The thirty-five acres of woods in Miller Park is a more
diverse woods, but also does contain areas of sugar maple and basswood. Staring Lake Park
contains over sixty acres of hardwoods, mostly oaks. Anderson Lakes Park and Bryant Lake
Park together contain nearly five hundred acres of mature woods, mostly oaks. The Purgatory
Creek Valley will eventually contain nearly nine hundred acres of preserved open space, much
of it especially south of County Road One, preserving mature hardwoods.
What makes the forty acre parcel in southwest Eden Prairie somewhat unique is the mature stand
of sugar maples, which provides the "cathedral like" canopy. There are several other areas in
southwest Eden Prairie that provide areas of mostly sugar maple and basswood. The fourteen
acre parcel on the north shore of Riley Lake, that was at one time designated as part of Riley
Lake Park, is a woods with a very similar character. There are also several areas along Riley
Creek, south of County Road One, with significant stands of mature sugar maple, basswood and
oak.
This information does not diminish the value of this forty acre woods, but it should put in
perspective that this is not the last piece of woods left in Eden Prairie, and perhaps we should
be reminded that the City has preserved a significant amount of woods within the park system.
When our park system is ultimately developed the City will Own nearly three thousand acres of
permanent public open space, over two thousand acres are designated to be permanent
undeveloped open space. •

Memo City Council, PRNR, Carl Jullie
August 6, 1992
OPTIONS:
Page Two
The City has basically three options to consider regarding the fate of the "Big Woods" remnant.
The first option is to acquire the entire parcel. The second is to acquire a portion of the woods
through park dedication, and attempt to control careful development of the rest of the wooded
area. Third is to allow development throughout the entire wooded area and control development
with a goal of preserving seventy percent of the trees.
Option #1, acquisition of the entire site.
Tandem Corporation has indicated that the cost to acquire the entire wooded site would exceed
two million dollars, plus assessments. City staff has investigated possible funding sources for
this wooded site for many years and have not been able to locate grant money available for
acquisition of a woods of this size. The "Trust for Public Lands" might possibly provide a low
interest loan and would assist the City in negotiating for the acquisition, however, they do not
have funds available as a "grant" that would not have to be reimbursed.
The capital improvement program for use of cash park fees would have to be completely
reprioritized and would, in fact, have to eliminate all other improvements and acquisitions for
at least the next ten years in order to acquire this parcel. The only possible method to fund the
acquisition would be through a referendum. If a referendum were considered, the City would
have to reprioritize other planned capital improvement projects in order to maintain the City'S
goal of stabilizing tax rates for capital improvement projects.
Option #2, acquire a portion of the site through park dedication and controlled
development on the remainder.
Tandem Corporation owns approximately sixty acres of land outside the designated 212
Corridor, including the 23.5 acres proposed to be sold to Centex Homes for Fairfield West. If
the City chose to require dedication of land in lieu of park fees, the City could require
dedication of ten percent of the developer's property for park land in lieu of cash park fees. The
City could require dedication of approximately six acres in order to preserve a park that would
retain a small portion of this woods intact. If the City Council chose to take land in lieu of park
fees, City staff would recommend requiring that the land be located adjacent to a proposed trail
or having direct access to a trail, and that the land dedicated, be a prime example of the entire
wooded site with the location to be approved by City staff.
Memo-City Council, PRNR and Carl Jullie
August 6, 1992
Page Three
PROS:
1. Acceptance of land in lieu of park fees would preserve a small area of the woods
in its natural condition and could provide a nice detour off a transportation route,
either along the railroad right-of-way, Dell Road or Scenic Heights Road trails.
2. The dedication of a six acre parcel (approximately 510' by 510') and the careful
development of the remaining woods would retain over seventy percent of the
woods and provide an example of what the entire area looked like at one time.
CONS:
1. A six acre parcel surrounded by homes and streets would not be large enough to
provide "a peaceful retreat" as the entire forty acre site is barely large enough to
offer that type of experience.
2. If the City did acquire the five to six acre site, the only appropriate development
of such a parcel would be to construct a trail through the site with one or two
benches and to leave the woods relatively intact. A five to six acre woods may
be enjoyed by an occasional trail user passing by the woods; however if the
remaining development is developed as proposed with scenic easements over the
back yards and has seventy percent of the trees protected, the passing trail user
may obtain similar appreciation for the woods even though it is in private
ownership.
3. The Park and Open Space System Plan for the City of Eden Prairie will provide
many large publicly owned preservation areas, as will the Fish and Wildlife
Service in the Minnesota River Valley, and Suburban Hennepin Parks at
Anderson Lakes and Bryant Lakes. A six acre parcel will not provide a
significant addition to the system.
Option #3, careful development of the entire woods.
•
•
City staff had sited the Fairfield subdivision as an "experiment" in determining whether or not
the wooded area can be developed on one-third to one-half acre size lots. Although Centex is
doing everything staff believes is possible in order to preserve as many trees as is feasible within
development on those sized lots, staff still has doubts as to whether or not Centex can achieve
its goal of preserving seventy-one percent of the trees on this site. If they are able to achieve
that goal, staff would support developing the rest of the woods, using similar controls. By
placing scenic easements twenty-five feet behind each house and preserving seventy-one percent •
of the trees on the site, the majority of the canopy and the "feeling" of the sugar maple woods
•

will remain. Obviously the character of the existing woods will change drastically once streets
and homes are developed within the woods or even adjacent to the woods. The wildlife that
lives there now will change. The quiet that was enjoyed there even a few years ago is already
gone with the adjacent development.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources staff continue to recommend the "experiment" with
the Fairfield subdivision as a way to determine if a woods of this character can be developed on
one-third to one-half acre lots and still preserve over seventy percent of the trees. City staff
believe that this experiment will not be able to be assessed until at least fifty percent of the
homes are constructed and are at least three years old. Root damage to trees often takes up to
three years to show up on the tree, therefore, staff would be inclined to recommend that
additional development in the "Big Woods" be limited to one acre lots until this "experiment"
is concluded. City staff would not recommend taking land in lieu of park fees as it would
merely be creating a mini park that might serve as a buffer or wayside rest for a trail and little
else. This would be an extremely expensive mini park with questionable additional value to the
park system.

To: Eden Prairie City Council
From: Eden Prairie Historical and Cultural Commission
Re: Eden Prairie "Big Woods" forest remnant
At our August 6 meeting, members of the Eden Prairie Historical and Cultural
Commission voted unanimously to support the concerns of the Park and
Recreation Commission that development of the Big Woods be delayed for citizen
input.
As you know, the City of Eden Prairie adopted a Heritage Preservation Ordinance in
1990, and organized as the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) for purposes of
identifying, evaluating, and promoting preservation of historic and prehistoric
cultural resources within the city. Cities are recognizing that there is a growing
urgency to protect not only structures, but our legacy of cultural landscapes for their
historical value and for their contribution to society today, before it's too late.
We understand that the HPC will view the Big Woods on Aug. 17 and will consider
the issue of designating as a historical place all or part of the area. We would ask you
to please delay the next stage of the proposed development so time can be afforded
the HPC to undertake this review and analysis for the citizens of Eden Prairie.

History of the
Big Woods Ecosystem
The first white people traversing
southern Wisconsin and Minnesota
coined a name for the forest islands
that stood like green wall., at the edges
of the prairies and savannas. They
called them -Big \\'oods." a term we
use today, Areas of Big Woods

County, Minnesota. The

and aspen, thickets of hazel and
sumac, and grasslands containing
scattered bur and northern pin oaks.
Why this diversity? Location in a
prairie-forest tension zone, as men-
tioned, is part of the answer. The rest
of the answer is "fire." Proximity to
flammable prairie grasses and liberal
use of fire by Indians made certain that
wildfire was present in the Big Woods.
The darkest forest of purest sugar
maple and basswood survived only
where sheltered from fire by rivers and
lakes, numerous wetlands, or steep
southern Michigan (which also contain
basswood), elm and red oak become
fewer as the forest gets older.
Minnesota's own dwarf trout lily
(Erythronium propullans), may also be
a creature of changing environment.

(Ecosystems, continued from page 1)
Other plants and animals prefer the
shade. An entire group of birds makes
their home the forest interior, living off
the abundance of insect life. Many of
these forest songbirds migrate annually
between the Eastern Deciduous Forest
and the tropical forests of central and
south America. Elk, black bear, wolf,
bobcat, and several other species of
mammal used to make their home in
the Big Woods, but with settlement
were dri'·en off the landscape.
Settlement brought other changes to
the forest. As land was cleared for
farms, the Big Woods were broken up
into smaller and smaller pieces, like
cloth that you cut chunks from. It is
apparent from maps by A.W. Kuchler,
Forest Stearns, and the U.S. Forest
Service that only several areas of Big
Woods larger than 1,000 acres still
remain, and the two best areas are in
Rice County, Minnesota and the
Baraboo Hills of Wisconsin. Driving
the highways, you may see a lot of
trees, but the forest is nearly gone.
The 20, 40 and 80 acre woodlots
scattered throughout the region do not
provide the continuous forest that
many Big Woods species require.
Even a forest of 500 acres is not big
enough for most animals to reproduce
successfully and maintain a population
of 200 or more individuals.
Throughout the 1980's bird ecologists
like John Terborgh and David Wilcove
have documented declines of as much
as 80 percent in some species of
migratory songbirds in the eastern u.S.
Tropical deforestation may cause
losses, but other evidence points to
trouble on the summer breeding
grounds. Local populations of
-----. -~---:.:.:;:-;~-~~ -" -----~---y-.---+ --~'-'-.--------'----'---
migratory songbirds have, in fact, gone
extinct in Big Woods remnants. The
black and white warbler, for instance,
no longer breeds in southern Minne-
sota. Birds affected are primarily vireos,
warblers, tanagers, thrushes, and
. flycatchers. They are "canaries in the
mineshaft", warning that something is
wrong with the forest ecosystem.
Researchers have speculated that birds
living in small forest remnants cannot
raise young because of pressure from
predators (racoons, jays, crows, cats,
dogs) and from a specialized parasite,
the cowbird, which supplants the young
of a bird by laying its own eggs in the
nest. These animals of open-country
are able to penetrate at least a quarter
mile into woodlots, meaning that a
forest remnant 320 acres in size has no
safe place to raise songbird young.

Lambert introduced Rick Packer from the Sienna

Packer said that the developer concurs with staff
recommendations on all items with a couple of exceptions.

The developer is concerned with the three outlots located
south and west of Riley Lake Road. These outlots are
to be maintained as part of the development in the •
purchase agreement with the Jacques.

The tree preservation plan shows approximately 37%
tree loss. Lots are 100 to 150 feet in width which
will preserve more trees and should maintain a tree
loss of about 27%.
Packer said it will be more difficult to maintain trees
in the golf course area. Trees have been preserved
in all areas with the exception of three holes and
--._-:------------TE--may be difficult to stay with the 30% level here.
Preliminary studies have been dorie on the water quality
------of--Riley Lake and it is felt that the water will be
as clear or clearer than it is now with the development
of the golf course.
The biggest issue of concern are the trail corridors
-"-----proposed through the property. Packer feels that the
entire project needs to be viewed as a whole and not
the trails as a separate issue.
The developer will install a fence around the development
mainly to protect the golf course from vandalism, but
also to provide additional privacy to the homes. Security
is only a perceived image and the security guard's
function will be determined by the homeowners.
Packer showed the developer's recommendation for the
trail corridor which is along the west edge of the
golf course instead of following the creek valley.
The trail is a minimum of 40 feet with a maximum of
70-80 feet. It is felt that the private golf course
is not compatible with a public trail and that liability
of the trail is also a concern. The trail proposed
by the developer would use existing trees, berms and
additional vegetation to screen the apartment complex
and protect the trail users from stray golf balls.

In summary, Packer said that the project will have
less impact on water quality and the environment than
other types of developments would. All storm water
will be maintained by the golf course and a high
percentage of open space will maintain the character
of the Riley Lake area.
Bowman asked for an explanation of what will be done
in the area from the entrance point to the east and
if the same trail would also serve this area. Packer

Bowman asked what users of the trail will see if there
is a fence. Packer said the fence will only ba 4 to
5 feet high and its look will be softened by shrubs
and vines. Landscaping will be added not for screening
purposes, but rather to provide protection from stray
golf balls.
Lambert added that the City may require an 8 foot fence
in certain areas where a tee is in direct line with
the trail.
Bowman said that when visiting the site, he feels that
the entire creek valley is developable for a trail
which was not indicated by the developer at the last
meeting. Kracum agreed.
Packer said that after looking at the area more closely,
he concurs that the entire valley would be developable
for a trail.
Richard asked what controls the City has that the
developer will add landscaping to the trail. Lambert
said that the City has the same control it does on
other developments by a landscape plan and bonds with
the developer.

said itwQuld:bedifficult it lots were platted down
to the creek~ but if it is an outlot that it would
be possible.
BoWman said he understands that most creek corridors
are owned by the City. He feels that the City should
acquire the creek corridor, as he is concerned about
what the trail, as proposed by the developer, would
look like. He is also concerned with the changes that
are being made to the City's comprehensive guide plan.
Lambert said that the main issue of concern is the
trail corridor along with the objection by the developer
to dedicate the outlots along Riley Lake. The Commission
is being asked to approve the PUD at this time which
gives only concept approval. The developer will have
to go through the process again prior to final approval.
Lambert added that there are generally some trade-offs
between the City and the developer at this point.
He believes the trail proposed by the developer will
be pleasant enough although not the same as a trail
along the creek corridor. He feels that the developer
has done a good job in the preliminary plan for the
trail. corridor.
Lambert said that the City has the opportunity to acquire
public lakeshore up to Riley Creek. The City would
then own about 80% of the lakeshore along Riley Lake
within Eden Prairie.
Lambert added that of the three golf courses in Eden
Prairie, none of them has a public trail going through
it. It would be difficult to put a trail through even
a City-owned golf course for the same reasons.
Richard said although the public will not have access
to the creek corridor, it will still be preserved and
he feels that the development should be looked at as
an entire project.

Lambert feels that it is important to note that 60%
of the area is being·left as permanent open space.
Lambert added that he feels it is acceptable to change
the location of the trail in lieu of dedication of
the lakeshore outlots if the rest of the development
meets the Commission's approval.
Lambert said that the City is making some modifications
to Riley Lake park because of· this d~velopment. Riley
Lake Road will follow the same alignment whether or
not this project takes place.
The Commission asked Packer to identify the location
of the lakeshore outlots on the site. Packer pointed
out their location on the site plan.
Richard asked if the developer is willing to dedicate
these outlots to the City. Packer said that there
is an agreement with the property owner that this cannot
be done.
Packer added that in his experience with other
developments, homeowners feel like their privacy is
being invaded when public trails are built next to
their property.
Bowman asked what changes have been made at Riley Lake
Park. Lambert said that the ballfields have been moved
to the south and west and the access has been moved.
Elevations will be based on road elevations. The only
change that would not have been made are the elevations.
Bowman said it seems odd that the City is spending
money to make changes to the park just so this project
can be approved and should not use this as an excuse
to approve the plan. Lambert said that this is not
the City's intent and none of the changes will have
to be altered if this plan isn't approved.
Kube-Harderwijk understands that other trail corridors
are still being considered for light rail in the future.
What will happen to the trail if this occurs?

Packer said that this possibility has been considered,
but it is not anticipated that light rail will go beyond
County Road 4.
Vanderploeg said if the Commission was to abandon the
trail along the creek corridor and agree with the
developer's alternate plan, does the developer have
plans for the creek corridor. Packer said no .
. -. .:. .
Vanderploeg feels that even if the City constructed
a trail-in the creek corridor, some environmental damage
may occur and it is better left as it is. The plan
is acceptable as it was presented.
Kracum said although this is a very beautiful area,
he does not feel it is practical to put a trail through
the golf course and the City should consider other
alternatives. He asked if the 400 feet of lakeshore
as discussed by the developer is acceptable to the
City .
Lambert said the City wants to preserve th~ lakeshore
as it is with limited access. When this project was
first discussed, he was concerned that the homeowners
would want a private marina which would increase the
boat traffic on the lake.
Bowman asked what is the width of the outlot along
the lakeshore. Packer said it is fairly narrow with
an average of 50 feet and a maximum of 100 feet.
Bowman asked what is northeast of the outlot. Lambert
said that this is the new alignment for Riley Lake
Road.
Richard said he wants to feel comfortable that the
tree loss will be maintained at 30%. Packer said that
the 10% random method was used to obtain the amount
of tree loss and explained how this was done. 115
sample sites were considered and an average was taken.
He said that the City will still have the opportunity
to require a change prior to approving the preliminary
plat.
Lambert said he is not as concerned with tree loss
in the area where homes will be built as he is with
the golf course. The amount of tree loss could change
drastically in this area.

Kube-Harderwijk asked what will happen on the golf
hole located within the conservancy area. Packer said
that crossings for the road and hole are all that will
be allowed.
Richard asked where the road crossings are in relationship
to the abandoned railroad corridor. Packer said that
they are located at Dell Road, Riley Lake Road and
one of the private streets within the development.
The developer.will provide bridges between to be graded
separately.
Lambert said that the City has indicated where sidewalks
are to be located in the event that the development
does not remain private in the future. The homeowners
would be required to pay for the installation of the
sidewalks through the association or by assessment.
Connections for access to Riley Lak~ Park and other
trails should be provided by the developer.
Packer said he understands the concern by the City
that the streets are built to City standards, but the
developer is concerned that more grading and removal
of trees will occur and more maintenance required if
the streets are made wider for the construction of
sidewalks in the future.
Richard said that since there are no loop roads, how
will buses get into the area. Packer said that this
will have to be discussed with the School District
and may require larger cul-dG-sacs.
Lambert said that the City is requiring the developer
to file a permanent open space easement on the golf
course in the event that it changes owners. This would
also protect the homeowners in the area.
Vanderploeg asked if the ballfields at Riley Lake will
be lighted in the future. Lambert said it is likely
that they will be. Vanderploeg said that the homeowners
in this area need to be made aware of this possibility.

Guide Plan Change to relocate Dell Road, Scenic Heights Road and from Public Open
Space to Low Density Residential on 60 acres. Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from

Franzen introduced Rick Packer of Sienna Corporation. Rick Packer introduced the
following consultants who would be available for questions: Ron Peterson, Mark Logan,
Burt Stevenson, Roger Conheim, and Brian Gensmer.
Packer stated that a lot of time had been spent on the research and development of this
proposal. Packer believed that Eden Prairie would benefit from this one of a kind
development. He further believed the land use to be an innovative one and the
development would bring prestige to Eden Prairie. The development would contain a
signature golf course and complete entertainment and dining. The development would
be utilized by residents and national and international guests. The project would attract
high dollar residents or move-up buyers from the community. Packer believed that the
development would provide business for the community and that many other benefits
would be seen from the development of this project. The low density use of the property
would place less stress on the environment and the city's infrastructure which would
result in less financial stress to Eden Prairie. The development would have a very
sophisticated homeowners association. The open space maintained would help enhance
the beauty of Lake Riley. The wetlands would be protected and preserved. The
development on this property would help the water quality of Lake Riley by helping to
eliminate the erosion and runoff. The proposal would bring the golf course out into the
community.
Packer stated that the tree loss had been reduced to 38 % with the new proposed plan and
believed that this figure would be even lower when detailed plans were developed. The
proponent would strive toward the lowest possible loss. The proponent would also work
to reduce the amount of wetlands lost. Packer said that the proponent agreed to provide
buffers as recommended whenever possible. The storm water quality study was being
completed at this time. Packer noted that the proponent concurred with the public and
private road recommendation from Staff. Packer questioned the need for sidewalks in
the development; with the low density of the project he did not believe sidewalks would
be necessary. He added that the residents could use the cartways. Packer believed that
private streets added value to the property. The proponent provided corridor trail
linkages and had lined the trails with golf holes.
Packer stated that this would be a different type of development than had ever been seen
in Eden Prairie. The proponent had incorporated quality in every aspect from
investigating the market carefully to the consideration of the environment. Packer
emphasized that deleting any of the elements of the development could interfere with the
success of the project.
Sandstad asked if the homeowners association rules would encourage speed control on
the streets as a compensation for the need for sidewalks. Packer replied that the
development would not see through traffic and speeding should not be an issue. The
association could establish its own speed limit and control traffic. The association would
also have the ability to levy fines if deemed necessary.
Sandstad asked how damage was deterred when a golf course was established close to
public right-of-ways. Packer replied that the tee blocks were located in such a manor ~
to limit potential problems. Burt Stevenson, representing the proponent, replied th~
corridors were widened and that placement of the traps and bunkers were positioned as
to direct shots away from traffic and pedestrian areas. Stevenson noted that the final
design of the course could change somewhat from what is seen on this plan.
Franzen reported that the Comprehensive Guide Plan had always been used as a guide
and subject to change when compelling reasons could be shown. Franzen stated that the
City had benefitted in the past from Comprehensive Guide Plan changes. The Staff
Report outlined 6 compelling reasons for this proposed Comprehensive Guide Plan
Change. Franzen noted that Low Density Residential had already been approved for this
area. A proposal could see as many as 800 housing units in this area with a tree loss of
25% with corridors and wetlands preserved; however the proposed plan would provide
400 houses and many of the natural amenities would be preserved. Dell Road would still
serve as the main collector for the area with Scenic Heights road also serving as a
collector. Franzen stated that the proponent was not saying that they did not agree with
the requirements but rather when the requirements would need to be implemented.
Franzen reported that storm water quality was a major issue and the PUD would outline
ways to preserve the water qUality. The current N.U.R.P. standards would be used.
Franzen reported that the City would need to grant waivers for the private roads. Franzen
stated that it was important for the City to have a contingency plan in place in case the
plan did not go through, which would mean that street and sidewalk standard would need.
to be maintained as if they were public. He added that only having a sidewalk on 0
side of the street would not be different than other developments in Eden Prairie.
Franzen reviewed the Staff recommendations, emphasizing that 1,3,4,5,7,8,9,11, and 12
were critical. Franzen stressed that this was only concept approval and that development
could not actually occur until rezoning and subdivision approvals were obtained.
Shoreland Ordinance requirements also must be met. Franzen stated that the Planning
Commission could choose to deal with the 38% tree loss now or at the time of rezoning
and subdivision requests.
Sandstad asked if the Conservation Easement area would be comparable to that of
Purgatory Creek. Franzen replied that the corridor has minimum requirements but that
it varies in different areas of the City. He added that the easement area could be
increased at the time of rezoning.
Wissner asked if the City had ways to make sure that the project was developed as
proposed when it was on private land. Franzen replied that specific language in the
Developer's Agreement would address this issue.
Bauer asked for more detail on infrastructure phasing. Franzen replied that the City did
not want leap frog development. Franzen noted Attachment D in the Staff Report. The
eastern boarder of the project was part of Phase III in the Southwest Study. Franzen
believed that subdivision requests could begin in about 2 years; however, it would be I,.
years or more before this area would be filled in. The location of Dell Road was part~

due to the topography of the area. The City would try to be fair with assessments for
the road development. Packer replied that no one was completely pleased with Dell
Road in this location. He added that offers had been made to property owners. A
tentative agreement had been reached with US Homes and although official contact had
not been made with Tandem Homes Packer did not believe there would be a problem.
Clinton asked what the next step would be in the development process. Franzen replied
that the developer would ask for rezoning and plan approval probably in October of
1992. He added that the phosphorus load analysis should be completed at that time.
Hawkins asked where other similar golf course communities had been developed.
Stevenson replied Baton Rouge, Atlanta, and Chicago to name a few. He added that this
was not a new concept.
Norman stated that there were only 5 actual Jack Nicklaus courses. Stevenson replied
that Nicklaus had made financial investments in several of the courses he had designed
and in all of the locations mentioned above. The Marsh Creek development would not
have a financial investment by Nicholas; he would simply design the course. Stevenson
stressed that his experience showed that if any of the ingredients of the plan were
eliminated it would risk the success of the project.
Bauer asked what type of course it would be. Stevenson replied that Nicholas would
make the final decisions on the course design. He added that it would not be a back
breaking course. The course would not be designed to host a US Open. Stevenson noted
that Nicholas designed his courses to work with the land.
Wissner asked if the course in the concept plan had been designed by Nicklaus.
Stevenson replied that he had designed a general routing design only.
Hawkins asked Stevenson for an example of a similar project where Nicklaus was only
the designer of the golf course. Stevenson replied there was a project in Palm Beach
which was similar. Stevenson stated that he had been very active in the design on
several of the project and had gone out on his own as a consultant approximately 18
months ago. Stevenson noted that this project was not a golf course deal but rather a
real estate one.
Hawkins questioned if the critical mass would be present in this area. Stevenson replied
that the key was not Nicklaus' financial contribution but, rather his name was used as a
powerful marketing tool. The Nicklaus name meant quality and credibility to a project.
Stevenson believed that the market in this area was good and the project would be a
success.
Hawkins asked how long some of the previously mentioned projects had been in
existence. Stevenson replied from 1985 and 1986.
Sandstad asked if both purchase of property and employment opportunities would b.e
given to minority groups. Stevenson replied yes.
John Bushey, 9000 Riley Lake Road, stated that he had softened toward the project since
the last meeting and was actually in favor of the project. . Bushey still questioned the
need for private streets and a private community. Bushey believed that the project could
be a controlled community without being a private one. Bushey noted that North Oaks
had started out as a private community but now had 3 entrances into the area and not
private entrance. He believed that it was important to think long term. Bushey asked
if a public street which meandered throughout the development would not serve the
purpose to discourage low through traffic. Bushey asked what type of fences were
proposed. Packer replied that a black iron fence would go completely around the course.
Bushey asked if preservation of the wetland area meant don't touch them during the
development process or would the wetlands be protected forever. Bushey was concerned
about the water quality of Riley Lake and added that any improvement would be
appreciated. Bushey questioned what measures would be taken during construction to
protect the water quality. Bushey gave a slide presentation of run-off problem areas.
He believed that the development could help improve the water quality if handled
properly. Bushey noted that heavy run-off occurred with every rainfall and it was
becoming a real problem. Bushey did not believe that a silt fence would control the run-
off during construction. Bushey believed that the water run-off problem would become
even more serious during construction. Bushey asked who was responsible to guarantee.
compliance of the rules and it the water quality would be inspected after constructio
began. Franzen replied that the City had only 1 inspector and usually responded to calls
from neighbors with complaints. Franzen added that a construction pond could be
developed to trap a lot of the sediment during construction. He stated that a silt fence
would only be successful on small projects and recommended that 3 rows hay bails be
used to help control the run-off problem. Franzen stated that N.U.R.P. ponds were
developed for 100 year storms. Bushey encouraged extra precautions be taken. Bushey
presented charts which he had developed on the water quality of Riley Lake.
Clinton asked Bushey why he had created these records. Bushey replied that this
information was part of a state wide data base and added that he was a member of the
Riley Lake Preservation group.
Lee Johnson, representing Orrin Thompson Homes, stated that he supported the concept
of the proposal but opposes the location of Dell Road. Johnson believed that the location
as proposed would actually decrease the value of the Orrin Thompson property. He
further believed that any change in the Comprehensive Guide Plan needed to be more
specific in relation to Dell Road. Johnson suggested that the area between the 2 wetlands
should be a double loaded road or if a single loaded road used a service road would be
needed. Johnson endorsed the 80-foot right-of-way. Johnson believed that there was a
small amount of encroachment into the wetland area and was concerned about a
significant stand of trees which would be eliminated. Johnson believed that the •
IIO~
•
•
•
replacement of the trees should not be part of the assessment process and the replacement
should be used to buffer the road further to the north. Johnson stated that he concurred
with the design as proposed but if there was any change the plan should be reviewed
again. Johnson recommended 135 foot to 140 foot deep lots along Dell Road in the
narrowest area. .
Clinton asked if the gross tree inventory included the removal of the significant stand
mentioned by Johnson. Packer replied no.
Doug Heyvaert, 9002 Riley Lake Road, question how even the best of development
practices would be enforced. Heyvaert also questioned what controls would be placed
on the outlots which had lake front property. Heyvaert hoped that if sidewalks were not
recommended within the project that sidewalks would be provided along Dell Road and
Scenic Heights Road. He asked if clearing of the land would be allowed along the creek.
Franzen replied that an area would be cleared for a pedestrian path or golf cart path and
one small area would need to be cleared for the path of the golf balls. Franzen added
that while the City was allowing the clearing along a small portion of the creek area if
would have extended benefits in other areas. Heyvaert asked if individual homeowners
would be allowed to clear out areas even further along the creek area than what was
approved in the development plan. Franzen replied no.
Packer stated that Marsh Creek would not be a recreational development but a residential
development. He added that the outlots would be used for picnic areas or another very
paSSIve use. The proponent did not have any interest in placing docks, etc. in the outlot
areas.
Bauer complemented the Staff on a well prepared and written Staff Report. Bauer
believed that both Staff and the proponent had worked to overcome the neighborhoods
concerns. He stressed that this was a concept approval only. Bauer emphasized the
importance of sidewalks in Eden Prairie and believed this should be reconsidered. Bauer
recommended 3 additional conditions: 16. A separate construction pond be used to
control water run-off along with double or triple hay bails. 17. An erosion control
enforcement plan developed. 18. Passive use for the outlots be documented.
Wissner stated that the private road access was a major issue for many residents.
Wissner believed that the concept was exceptional and that the developer was working
to meet the environmental needs. Wissner stated that she supported the concept but was
not in favor of the gated access.
Norman questioned the spillover affect on other developments in Eden Prairie. The
development needed to be more accessible to the public. Norman believed that this was
a leap of faith on the part of the developer with the economy today. Norman believed
that environmentally the proposal would be better than a single-family development.
1103
Clinton supported the concept. Clinton believed that it was important to emphasize
community activity in the clubhouse. Clinton concurred with the add.
recommendations.
Hawkins stated that he had attended the workshops on the project and had noted that the
residents comments and suggestions had a direct affect on the proposal. Hawkins
believed that there were negative connotations because of the private access. He believed
that the land use was appropriate. Hawkins emphasized the importance of sidewalks for
the project. He was pleased that the best management practices would be used during
construction and throughout the project. Hawkins believed that the proponent had a
progressive approach regarding conservation efforts. Hawkins recommended that the
wording regarding the buffer areas be changed to read: Buffer areas would be developed
when mutually deemed practical.
Sandstad supported the concept 100%. Sandstad thanked both Staff and the proponent
for the quality of information provided.

B. Marsh Creek Development -Preliminarv Review
Refer to staff report dated June 19, 1992.
Lambert introduced Rick Packer, Project Manager from
Sienna Corporation.
Packer explained that the proposal is for a Jack Nicklaus
s~gnature golf course and 250-350 upscale single family
homes with controlled access and private streets which
will be maintained to City standards and use City
utilities. Approximate density will be 6/10 unit per
acre.
The construction of the golf course would affect the
upgrades to Dell Road and Scenic Heights Road. Several
adjacent property owners are not in favor of the proposed
improvements to Dell Road. The road was moved slightly
to accommodate several \,;etlands in this area.
The internal road system will serve the same purpose
as the original plan for Scenic Heights Road which
was to provide east/west access to Dell Road.
Packer showed the 24 existing wetlands on the site
plan along with the 8/10 to 1.2 acres of wetland which
are expected to be i~pacted by this development. The
developer would like to reduce this down to 6/10 acre.
All storm water ponds will be developed to NURP standards
which allows pollutants to settle before the water
is discharged into the wetland areas.

There are 115 acres of trees on the site and tree loss
is estimated to be 45%. The developer is not happy
with this amount and will attempt to preserve
significantly more trees.
The developer supports the trail corridor along the
abandoned railroad on the west property line from Mitchell
Lake to Riley Lake.
The developer is \vorking on further improve~ents on
the western end of the site to make the trail corridor
from Riley Lake to Rice Marsh Lake accessible to the
public without danger from stray golf balls.
Packer showed slides of aerial photos taken of the
site.
Lynch referred to Attachment C which mentions tree
loss at 25% and asked if this is possible. Packer
feels that this is a possibility in the housing
development, but may be difficult on the golf course.
Bowman asked if there is only one entry into the
development. Packer said that there is one controlled
access from Dell Road and two emergency vehicle access
points.
Bowman asked if this meets City code. Lambert said
that he believes the length of the cul-de-sacs exceeds
City standards of 500 feet.
Richard asked what is the reason for a private entranc~.
Packer said that the developer looked at other
alternatives, but they did not meet the desired plan.
Other golf courses of this type also have con~rolled
access which not only offers security, but gives
exclusivity to those living there.
Richard asked if the public trail corridor along the
abandoned railroad would be the only trail around the
golf course. Packer said yes.
Richard asked if the area would be fenced. Packer

Packer said it has not been considered up to this point,
but he feels there would be a problem no matter what
type of development occurred.
Vanderploeg asked if it is the intent to fill the bog
area wlth rainwater. Packard said tnis is very shallow
with only a small amount of water, but the developer
would like to enhance it.
Vanderploeg as~ed if tnere will be a bridge over the
trail corridor. Packard said that there will be two
grade crossings and one bridge will be depressed.
Kracum as~ed if the development will have its own
security. Packer said that they will de~end upon City
police and fire protection, but will have their own
road maintenance and entrance control.

Franzen gave a overview and history of the project, roads, open space corridor, private
community/private streets, stormwater quality, traffic, wetlands & trees. He added that tonight's
meeting was for presentation and Public Hearing comments and that a Staff Report with
recommendations would be prepared for the July 27th meeting. He stated the policy issues were as
follows:
Public Hearing
Doug Heijvaert, 9002 Riley Lake Road. See letter from resident, attached. Heijvaert expressed
concern about the phosphorus content of Lake Riley.
Sandstad requested a copy of the water quality reports quoted by Heijvaert.
John Bushey, 900 Riley Lake Road. Agrees with Heijvaert. Bushey commented that wetlands are
not attractive and wanted to know what the limitations on modification of the wetlands would be, and
who would enforce these limitations. He also expressed concern about nutrient/sediment load into the
lake, and irrigation of golf course and its source, and sink/drain facilities. He stated that the fragility
of Riley Lake Road needs to be considered. • 6

Bushey posed the question of whether a private/exclusive development is a part of the character the City
of Eden Prairie wants. He pointed out that the open space corridor needs to be public, along the creek
rather than behind the apartments as proposed.
Raymond Lewis, 9071 Lake Riley Blvd. Lewis asked about corridor access and pointed out that
traffic needs should be coordinated with the City of Chanhassen.
Lee Johnson of Orrin Thompson Homes. Not in favor of the proposed Dell Road, or previously
proposed location by the City. He feels that the road won't withstand projected use.

Staff Report
Marsh Creek Golf Course
July 24, 1992
BACKGROUND
There are two primary issues regarding the Marsh Creek Golf Course and residential
development:
1. Are there compelling reasons for changing the Comprehensive Guide Plan.
2. Is the Planned Unit Development Concept for a golf course, controlled access
community, and 400 housing units an appropriate use of this site.
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN CHANGE
There are three Comprehensive Guide Plan actions including:
1. A Comprehensive Guide Plan change from Open Space to Low Density
Residential.
2.
3.
A Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from low density residential to medium
density residential .
A Comprehensive Guide Plan Change for the relocation of the alignments of
Scenic Heights Road and Dell Road.
Open Space Corridor Guide Plan Change
The Planned Unit Development as proposed impacts the existing open space corridors on the
Comprehensive Guide Plan. The open space on the Guide Plan is approximately 60 acres. The
PUD as proposed preserves the open space along Riley Creek, however most of it will be within
the back yards of the proposed houses. Lots adjacent to the Creek are deep and homes will not
be close to the Creek. A portion of Riley Creek meanders through the Golf Course. Another
part of the open space corridor follows existing wetlands along the eastern portion of the
property. The PUD preserves the wetland areas, which represent a significant portion of the
existing corridor, however, the PUD does encroach into portions of the open space corridor
which is not wetland. This is either golf course or housing.
The public trail component of the open space corridor, which is a link from Rice Marsh Lake
to Lake Riley would not follow the existing corridor but would be relocated to a 40 foot outlot
on the west side of the golf course .
Staff Report
Marsh Creek Golf Course
July 24, 1992
A way to evaluate the open space guide plan change is to compare how much open space would
there be on the property if the project was developed in conformance with the comprehensive
guide plan versus how much open space would there be on the property if the project is
approved as proposed. If the property is developed according to the Comprehensive Guide Plan,
approximately 1,050 housing units would be possible (2.5 units per acre). However, considering
the natural features on the property including wetlands and woodlands, a likely density would
approximately 1.75 units per acre or 752 units. The amount of open space that would be
retained if developed under this scenario would be 100 acres of wetlands and Riley Creek
Floodplain. The PUD as proposed would preserve the same 100 natural acres and 115 acres of
golf course would also be open space. The City could require that the open space be designated
as Quasi Public on the Comprehensive Guide Plan. This would be similar to the open space at
Bent Creek Golf Course and Olympic Hills Golf Course.
Medium Density Residential Guide Plan Change
The request for Comprehensive Guide Plan change of approximately 45 acres of land guided low
density residential to medium density residential is a reasonable land use request. The overall
density of the 419 acre property is less than one unit per acre considering the 400 total housing
•
units proposed. The City could consider averaging density and therefore no Comprehensive •
Guide Plan would be needed. Historically when this has occurred, the City has designated
portions of a property medium density to differentiate specific land uses on the Comprehensive
Plan and also to benefit to future land owners inquiring about uses on adjoining properties.
Clustering units close together also helps better preserve trees and wetlands.
Dell Road & Scenic Heights Road Guide Plan Change
The change in the Comprehensive Guide Plan for relocation of Dell Road and Scenic Heights
Road does not affect the function of either roadways. Dell Road is a minor arterial which
connects Highway 5 and County Road 1. The current alignment of the roadway is based upon
topography, natural features, and property ownership. The change in the Dell Road alignment
moves a portion of the roadway slightly east and impacts the adjoining property owners. Sienna
is negotiating with the landowners so that most of the costs of this relocation is borne by Sienna.
The relocation of Scenic Heights Road alignment is due to controlled access. The purpose of
the existing alignment is to provide a direct connection from Lake Riley Road to Dell Road.
This was based on traffic generation according to the Comprehensive Guide Plan in Eden Prairie
and Chanhassen. The traffic generation from the Marsh Creek proposal is less than what was
•
•
•
•
Staff Report
Marsh Creek Golf Course
July 24, 1992
originally envisioned when the traffic study for the southwest area was completed. The original
assumptions was based on approximately 1050 units. This would generate approximately 10,500
cars per day. The current proposal with 400 units would generate approximately 4000 cars per
day.
The attached letter from the City of Chanhassen indicates that Lyman Lake-Riley Lake
Boulevard east of Highway 101 in Chanhassen would likely need to be upgraded to an improved
two lane facility. Traffic being generated in Chanhassen alone does not warrant a four-lane road
and as a result of the Marsh Creek proposal there would be little or no traffic entering the road
from Eden Prairie.
Conclusions
Reasons to change the Guide may be:
1. The natural components (wetlands, Riley Creek) of the existing open space
corridor is preserved but in private ownership.
2. The gross density is about 1 unit per acre. The Guide Plan would allow up to 2.5
units/acre.
3. Scenic Heights road alignment is different, but there is less traffic and function
of the road is still a collector.
4. Medium density is a small amount (45 acres) of the total PUD. The gross density
is about 1 unit/acre even though the medium density is about 4 units/acre.
5. Dell Road still functions as a collector road. The proponent is willing to pay for
most of the increased costs to adjacent landowners from the road relocation.
6. The public trail connection between Lake Riley and Rice Marsh Lake will occur,
but in a different location.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
The Planned Unit Development Concept is a controlled access golf course and residential
community. The residential portion of the PUD is a mixture of a maximum of 260 sin"gle family
units and 140 multiple family units. Large lots are proposed in the dense wooded areas in the
north central portion of the site (22,000 -44,000 sq. ft.). Relatively open areas of the site are
also planned
Staff Report
Marsh Creek Golf Course
July 24, 1992
for housing with lot sizes between 13,500 to 22,000 square feet. Multiple family areas are
proposed around the wetland areas and on the fringe of wooded areas allows for more of the site
features to be retained.
The pun as proposed retains 71.5 acres of wetland, 30 acres of flood plain and Riley Creek in
its natural state. These open space areas would be part of a public open space easement to the
City included with the golf course. For the residential areas abutting Riley Creek, there should
be a conservancy easement across rear yards to protect the sloped wooded areas adjacent to the
Creek corridor.
There is one entrance to this project off of Dell Road. All internal roadways are private.
Emergency vehicle access off Lake Riley Drive are proposed in two locations. These should
be platted as 50 foot wide outlots connected to the private road system.
The private road system should be platted as a 50 foot wide outlot. In the event that the
majority of the homeowners within the project desire to have the streets maintained by the City,
50 feet is the minimum dimension required for residential street right-of-way. The street must
be designed to City standards for 28 foot wide roadway. The proposed emergency vehicle
access must be designed to accommodate any of the emergency vehicles.
The pun Concept proposes 14 cul-de-sacs. All of the cul-de-sacs exceed the City'S maximum
500 foot length. The number of cul-de-sacs proposed is not unreasonable considering the
number of housing units and the size of the project. Seven of the fourteen cul-de-sacs are due
to topography, wetlands, steep slopes, or proximity to Dell Road and proximity to Highway 212.
If this road system was public, it is likely that these cul-de-sacs would still be necessary. The
remaining cul-de-sacs are due to the configuration of the golf course.
The roadway system as it meanders through the property follows the natural contours of the land
avoiding wetland areas, significant trees and flood plain. The alignment of the road has minimal
impact on natural features and also results in less grading for the project.
The pun may be an acceptable use for the property for the following reasons:
1. The road layout follows the natural contours of the property, minimizes the
impact of natural features and allows for the wetlands, woodlands, flood plain and
creek areas to be preserved.
2. Large lots are planned in the wooded areas to save trees. Smaller lots are
proposed in the open areas. Multiple family is proposed adjacent to wetland and
woodland areas. Cluster housing can save site features.

3. The road system would be designed to City standard and could be converted to
a public street in the future if the majority of the homeowners agreed.
4. Although there is only one access into the property, two additional emergency
vehicle access points are proposed along Lake Riley Road. These will be
designed as 50 foot wide outlots and designed to accommodate emergency
vehicles.
5. Approximately half of the property will be open space including golf course and
natural features. A typical pun in an environmentally sensitive area is about
1. 75 units per acre would be approximately 25 % open space.
DEVELOPMENT ISSUES AND APPROACHES FOR
DEALING WITH THEM
Tree Loss
There is approximately 115 acres of woodlands on site. The estimated tree loss based upon the
concept plan reviewed by the Planning Commission at the previous meeting was 45 %. The
recommended approach for dealing with high tree loss was to revise the concept plan to create
larger lots in the heavily wooded area and to move the driving range south out of the woods.
The pun has been revised for larger lots in the wooded area and the driving range has been
moved out of the woods, and tree loss is reduced to 38 % based on the general tree plan. At
rezoning, a detailed tree inventory and grading plan can reduce tree loss further.
Wetlands
A wetland inventory has been completed for the property and approved by the Watershed
District. There are 24 wetlands having an overall size of 71.5 acres. The Development Plan
proposes to fill 1.3 acres. The recommended approach for dealing with wetland impacts has
been addressed in the revised pun concept with roads moved farther away from the wetland
areas. The actual extent of wetland impacts will not be determined until the grading plans are
submitted with the rezoning and subdivision phase of the project. Once the actual encroachment
has been determined, then mitigation will be required according to the Wetland Preservation Act.
If a grading permit is issued prior to 1993, the replacement would be one for one. If the
grading permit is issued after 1993, then replacement shall be two to one .
1111
Staff Report
Marsh Creek Golf Course
July 24, 1992
The amount of expected encroachment is less than 2 % of the total wetlands on the property.
To help preserve the wetland areas in their natural state, whenever practical and beneficial a
conservation easement should be placed over the wetland area to a distance approximately 25
feet beyond in order to preserve the natural vegetation around the edge.
Stonn Water Quality
Storm water runoff from the Golf Course, streets, and residential lots cannot be discharged
directly into Riley Creek, wetlands, or Lake Riley. The approach for dealing with Storm Water
Quality issue is to require NURP ponds as a pre-treatment area before water is discharged. The
PUD concept identifies general areas for the NURP ponds, however, the final design would not
be determined until the project was ready for rezoning and subdivision review. As a condition
of approving the PUD, the City can stipulate that the water quality plan accomplish the
following:
1. The size of the NURP pond would depend upon the size of the drainage area and
the amount of storm water runoff.
2. A phosphorus loading analysis will be required for the golf course.
3. Use MPCA best management practices to control sediment and erosion.
4. The site should be graded in phases so that the smallest amount of exposed earth
would be disturbed at anyone time.
5. Seed the graded areas immediately after construction.
Shoreland Ordinance
City code defines the shoreland area as within 1000 feet of the high water mark of Riley Lake
and 300 feet from the center line of Riley Creek. Riley Lake is classified as a recreational
development water. Any single family lot with public sewer and water which directly abuts the
Lake or within 150 feet of a highwater mark of the Lake must have a minimum lot size of
20,000 sq. ft., 120 feet of width at the building setback, 120 feet of width at the highwater mark
and a minimum setback from the highwater mark of 100 feet.
Riley Creek is classified as a general development water. For single family lots abutting or
within 150 feet of the highwater mark of the creek with public sewer and water it must have a
minimum lot size of 13,500 sq. ft., a minimum width at the building setback of 120 feet, a
z

minimum width at the ordinary high water mark of 120 feet and a minimum setback from the
ordinary high water mark of 100 feet.
The issue is whether or not the PUD is in conformance with provisions of the Shoreland
Ordinance. There are no single family lots proposed within 150 feet of the highwater mark of
Lake Riley. There are homes proposed on either side of Riley Creek within 150 feet of the high
water mark. The approach for dealing with the Shoreland ordinance along Riley Creek is to
require as a condition of the rezoning on the property that all of the lots adjacent to Riley Creek
meet the minimum requirements of the shoreland ordinance.
To preserve the sloped areas and the natural vegetation along the edge of Riley Creek, there
should be a conservancy easement required for the rear yards abutting the creek. This
conservancy easement would stipulate that no grading or cutting of trees or natural vegetation
would be permitted. For the portion of the Creek on the golf course, a 50 foot area on either
side of the Creek and the flood plain area should be preserved in its natural state. This can be
preserved by a conservation easement as well. Pedestrian bridges or trails or roads may cross
this easement provided the impacts are minimized.
Flood Plain Delineation
The storm water management plan delineates the 100 year flood plain for Riley Creek. No lots
or grading is proposed in the 100 year flood plain. The City and the Watershed District will
require that the lowest floor of any residence be a minimum of 2 feet of the 100 year flood
level. The approach for dealing with this will be to require as a condition of rezoning and
subdivision approval a plan that indicates that the lowest floor elevation of any of the units on
the plan be 2 feet above the 100 year flood level.
Public Roads vs. Private Roads
A private road is a Planned Unit Development waiver. The PUD concept is based on a
controlled access community. To accomplish this, it is necessary to have a private internal road
system. The City has permitted private roads in mostly multifamily projects but only one single
family project. Timber Bluffs was approved with a private road for 14 lots on the Minnesota
River. Lot sizes were 1 -3 acres in size. The road was required to be built to City standards
with gated access subject to police and fire approval. This project has not been built.
If the City determines that a private road is acceptable, the conditions under which this should
be built are as follows:
1119
Staff Report
Marsh Creek Golf Course
July 24, 1992
1. A 50 foot wide outlot must be platted for the private road. This is the same
dimension as a 50 foot right-of-way for a typical residential street. The road
within the outlot must be constructed to City standards with a 28 foot road
surface.
2. Emergency vehicle access is proposed at two additional locations off Riley Lake
Road. The width of the easement is at 20 feet. These easements should be 50
feet so that it could be converted to a City Street in the future. The design of the
emergency vehicle access easement must be able to support the emergency
vehicles. The proponent will have to work with the Fire Marshall and the Police
Department to determine the conditions under which the access is designed, and
controlled.
3. The purpose of requiring emergency vehicle access and the private road built to
City standards with room for City right-of-way is to allow the opportunity for the
residents to ask the City to consider maintenance of the streets in the future. The
homeowners association documents should be designed in such a way that a 51 %
majority could approve the conversion of private to public street.
4. The private road should have a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk along one side of
the road.
5. Building setbacks should be 30 feet from the 50 foot outlot for private road.
SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS
Dell Road, Pioneer Trail, and Lake Riley Road will have sidewalks and trails on either side of
the roadway. A sidewalk should be built along the private roadway within the subdivision. This
is necessary based upon the amount of traffic generated within the subdivision and the fact that
all traffic uses one access. The sidewalk system would provide an alternative to walking in the
street. This also makes sense for the future in the event that City accepted the road.
INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
In 1988, the City commissioned a development phasing and infrastructure improvement study
to be completed which is generally referred to as the southwest area of Eden Prairie. The intent
of the study was to provide a factual and practical basis for the approval of development plans
in the southwestern area of the City, and to enable such approvals to be rendered in an orderly
and efficient manner. The intent was not to unreasonably restrict growth, but rather to
•
•
•
•
•
•
Staff Report
Marsh Creek Golf Course
July 24, 1992
accommodate in an orderly manner by matching growth by needed infrastructure in a manner
which does not accelerate or push development.
As part of the study, investigation was made into existing and future capacities of four major
infrastructures: public roadways, sanitary sewer, water and drainage. The initial task was to
establish a full development plan for the entire study area with conceptual layouts for each
infrastructure system. The full development plan became the basis for subsequent development
phasing analysis. Each system was tested for constraints on development and to determine
which system, if any, might impose limitations for development in a particular area.
Attachment D shows the phasing plan for the southwest area. Attachments E, F, G, and H refer
to major infrastructure categories including sewer, water, storm drainage and traffic.
The Marsh Creek Golf Course is an area 3 and part of the full development area in the future.
This means that the timing of the project (Summer of 1993) is before areas 2ab and area 3
developed. This may play some burden on land which is not ready to develop.
The southwest area study indicates one way of providing improvements to the Marsh Creek Golf
Course. The actual size of individual sewer, water and storm sewer pipes and depths of pipes
and locations will be determined based upon a feasibility study for getting these improvements
to the area.
The important thing to remember about the Marsh Creek Golf Course, is that the City will
require a public storm sewer system, City sewer and water. All of these improvements must
be designed to City standards. City standards are determined at the time of rezoning and
platting of the property.
The main issue with infrastructure improvements is a question of phasing. The approach with
dealing with phasing would be to either wait until the properties next to existing roads sewer and
water developed or consider extending the improvements subject to assessments on undeveloped
properties.
OTHER ISSUES
Environmental Assessment Worksheet EA W
An EAW is required according to State Law. The preparation of the EAW is underway. Since
the EA W is a costly document to prepare, the proponent would like to receive concept approval
11~ \
Staff Report
Marsh Creek Golf Course
July 24, 1992
of the plan and action on the Comprehensive Guide Plan before proceeding with detailed review
required of an EAW. The proponent will return to the Planning Commission and the City
Council for review of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet and if the impacts of the
development are high, mitigation measures and/or plan changes may be required. The three
main issues that will arise from an EA W would be traffic impacts, storm water quality impacts,
and archeological impacts.
The proponent has prepared a traffic analysis which compares traffic generation based on the
Comprehensive Guide Plan density at 2.5 units per acre (1050 units) to the Marsh Creek
proposal with 400 units. The preliminary analysis indicates that the capacity of Scenic Heights
Road as relocated along Lake Riley Road, County Road 1 and Dell Road can accommodate the
traffic as proposed.
The impacts of storm water runoff on existing wetland, flood plain, lake and creek areas can be
mitigated. The current standards which are requirements of the City, the Watershed District,
and other environmental agencies is to require pretreatment of water before discharge. NURP
ponds will be required with this project as well as the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency best
management practices to control erosion.
The archeological survey is nearly completed, and there is evidence of some upland campsites,
these are being delineated in the field and the implications of these relative to the plan is being
studied.
Phasin~ Plan
One of the requirements of the Planned Unit Development ordinance is to provide a phasing plan
on how the project would be built. The proponent has identified the first phase of the project
as residential areas adjacent to Dell Road, the golf course, and the clubhouse. The phasing for
the balance of the property has not been identified.
CONCLUSION
When reviewing requests for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change and the Planned Unit
Development, the Commission should first consider if there are compelling reasons for changing
the Comprehensive Guide Plan and second, consider the general feasibility of the project.
Reasons for changing the Guide Plan are as follows:
1. The natural components (wetlands, Riley Creek) of the existing open space
corridor is preserved but in private ownership.
11

2. The gross density is about 1 unit per acre. The Guide Plan would allow up to 2.5
units/acre.
3. Scenic Heights road alignment is different, but there is less traffic and function
of the road is still a collector.
4. Medium density is a small amount (45 acres) of the total PUD. The gross density
is about 1 unit/acre even though the medium density is about 4 units/acre.
5. Dell Road still functions as a collector road. The proponent is willing to pay for
increased costs to adjacent landowners of the proposed relocation.
6. The public trail connection between Lake Riley and Mitchell Lake will occur but
in a different location.
The general feasibility of a Planned Unit Development means whether or not a private golf
course and a controlled access residential development is an acceptable use of the site.
Sometimes it is difficult to give a general approval of a concept plan without all of the detailed
questions being answered. The Staff Report identifies the major issues with this project and
prescribes approaches for dealing with them.
Approval of the PUD Concept indicates the direction for the developer to proceed with the
preparation of final plans consistent with the PUD. The rezoning and subdivision plans required
at a later date for all phases of the project become the basis for reaffirming the original concept
approved by the City.
The PUD Concept Plan as proposed may be an acceptable use of the property for the following
reasons:
1. The road layout follows the natural contours of the property, minimizes the
impact of natural features and allows for the wetlands, woodlands, flood plain and
creek areas to be preserved.
2. Large lots are planned in the wooded areas to save trees. Smaller lots are
proposed in the open areas. Multiple family is proposed adjacent to wetland and
woodland areas. Cluster housing can save site features.
3. The road system would be designed to City standards and could be converted to
,.~ public street in the future if the majority of the homeowners agreed.
Staff Report
Marsh Creek Golf Course
July 24, 1992
4. Although there is only one access into the property, two additional emergency
vehicle access points are proposed along Lake Riley Road. These will be
designed as 50 foot wide outlots and designed to accommodate emergency
vehicles.
5. Approximately half of the property will be open space including golf course and
natural features. A typical PUD in an environmentally sensitive at about 1.75
units per acre would be approximately 25% as open space.
The Planning staff feels that there are compelling reasons for changing the Comprehensive Guide
Plan and that the PUD Concept as proposed is an acceptable use of the property based on the
general layout, density of the project, and preservation of open space and natural features. The
Concept approval is predicated also upon storm water quality studies showing no significant
impacts on Lake Riley and a finding of no significant impact for the EA W.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning Staff presents the following alternative courses of action for commission
consideration:
1. If the Planning Commission feels that compelling reasons have been provided to
substantiate the changes in the Comprehensive Guide Plan and that the PUD as
proposed is an acceptable use of the property then one option would be to
recommend approval of the project as proposed based on the following
conditions:
1. The private road should be 50 feet wide and a 28 foot road built
to City standards. Emergency vehicle access shall also be shown
as a 50 foot wide outlot and built to accommodate emergency
vehicles.
2. There should be a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk built on one side
of the private road.
3. NURP ponds shall be required as pretreatment of any storm water
before discharge into wetlands, flood plains, Riley Creek or Riley
Lake.

Marsh Creek Golf Course
July 24, 1992
4. A phosphorus loading analysis must be completed for the entire
development including the golf course.
5. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet must be prepared and
submitted for review by the Planning Commission and City
Council and receive a finding of no significant impact.
6. A phasing plan must be submitted for the balance of the property.
7. The 215 acres of golf course/open space shall be designated as
Quasi Public on the Comprehensive Plan with a permanent public
open space easement to the City so that the golf course would
remain in perpetuity as open space.

A Conservation Easement shall be required whenever practical and
beneficial along all wetland areas and to a distance of 25 feet
beyond to protect natural vegetation. Conservation Easements will
be required within the rear yards of any lots abutting Riley Creek
and a distance of 50 feet on either side of Riley Creek as it runs
through the golf course in order to preserve natural vegetation.
No development of the golf course can precede until rezoning and
subdivision approval have been granted for Phase I.
Internal looping of the water main system within the project is
required. Hydrant spacing should be at a minimum of 300 feet.
Rezoning and subdivision plans submitted at a later date must
indicate compliance with the minimum requirements of the
shoreland ordinance.
The tree loss as proposed is 38 % . Final rezoning and subdivision
plans and a detailed tree inventory within the grading limits of
future construction will be able to reduce tree loss further. A tree
replacement plan will be required for any phase of rezoning or
subdivision. Grading limits for any phase of the project must be
staked with the snow fence.

Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Best Management Practices
will be required for construction and erosion control.
A minimum of a 40 foot outlot on the west side of the property
shall be for a City trail. Developer will construct an 8 foot wide
bituminous trail to City'S standards. Landscaping of the outlot is
also required subject to City approval.
Developer is willing to pay for most of the increased costs to
adjacent landowners of the proposed relocation of Dell Road.
II. If the Planning Commission feels compelling reasons to substantiate the change
in the Comprehensive Guide Plan have not been provided and that the PUD as
proposed is not an acceptable use of the property, then one option would be to
recommend denial of the project as proposed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
THROUGH: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
FROM:
DATE:
SUBJECT:
Barbara Penning Cross, Landscape Architec~
July 30, 1992
Supplemental Staff Report to July 24, 1992 Planning Staff Report for Marsh
Creek PUD
The proponent is asking for Planned Unit Development (PUD) concept review for a controlled
access golf course in a residential community on 419 acres. Two hundred and sixty single
family and 140 multiple family units are planned. The proponent is also asking for three
changes in the Comprehensive Guideplan.
1. Change approximately 60 acres of public open space to low density residential .
2. Change 45.3 acres of low density residential to medium residential.
3. Change to relocate Scenic Heights Road and Dell Road.
Approval of the PUD concept indicates the Developer should proceed with construction plans
consistent with the PUD concept. Details such as exact wetland impact and extent of tree loss
will be reviewed again with the rezoning and subdivision approvals.
Issues for the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission are as follows:
TREE LOSS:
Approximately 115 acres of wooded area exists on the site. The estimated tree loss based on
the first site plan was 45 %. The proponent has increased lot sizes within the wooded areas and
moved the driving range out of the woods, which has reduced the tree loss to 38 %. A detailed
tree inventory with the grading plan will be completed with the rezoning process for more
accurate information. Staff would recommend reducing tree loss to less than 30% to be more
to be more consistent with other projects. To maintain vegetation along the Riley Creek corridor
and wetlands, staff recommends a conservation easement be required after development is
complete to ensure slopes and natural vegetation be protected .
1
WETLANDS AND STORM WATER QUALITY:
Twenty-four wetlands have been identified for a total of 71.5 acres. The actual extent of
impacts on the wetland will not be determined until detailed road alignment and grading plans
are completed. The development plan proposes to fill 1.3 acres of wetland. The proponent will
be required to obtain the necessary agency permits and mitigate when required according to the
Wetland Preservation Act. To maintain the water quality, storm water from this development
cannot be discharged directly into Riley Creek, Riley Lake or any wetlands. NURP standards
should be adhered to.
PARK DEDICATION AND CASH PARK FEES:
The golf course and this housing development will completely encircle Riley Lake Park. Riley
Lake Road will be realigned with some of the roadway lying on the existing park property.
The park has been altered to fit the new road configuration. Ballfields have been
realigned,tennis courts have been shifted south and the playground will move slightly east, closer
to the future shelter. The revised layout for the park does function without deleting any facilities
or harming the aesthetics.
The park is scheduled to be under construction yet this fall. Staff is designing the grading plan
to accommodate the golf course and surrounding residential development. If for some reason
the golf course and the housing project are not built a portion of the northeast comer will be
under developed and cut off from parking and other facilities.
The proponent has a number of outlots, some of them lakeshore property, not incorporated into
the development. Staff recommends dedication of all outlots west of the proposed Riley Lake
Road north to Riley Creek be dedicated to the City at time of final plat. This land swap will
compensate the City for altering the park plan and allowing the roadway to be built on park
property.
Staff recommends cash park fees be paid at the time the building permits are issued.
OPEN SPACE AND PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION:
The City'S Comprehensive Guideplan and the Comprehensive Park and Open Space System as
approved by the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and City Council shows
an open space system for trail connections to Riley Lake Park, Rice Marsh Lake Park (future)
to Miller Park and back to Riley Lake Park. (see attached map) The corridors follow the creek
valley and wetland areas due to their scenic nature. The proponent has located a 40 foot wide
outlot along the western edge of the golf course for the proposed trail corridor, instead of
following the creek valley. The proponent believes that the concept of a gated community is not
compatible with a public trail moving through the property. Liability of the trail crossing the
golf course is also a concern.
2
•
•
•
•
•
•
The proposed trail through the 40 foot outlot to be built by the Developer uses existing trees,
berms and proposed vegetation to screen the apartment complex and protect the trail users from
stray golf balls.
Although it is undeniable that a trail through a 40 foot outlot will not be as attractive as the
Riley Creek Valley, the connections intended by the Guideplan and Park and Open Space Plan
are still intact. The outlot will provide the north/south connection to the park on Rice Marsh
Lake and the railroad corridor trail makes the connection to Miller Park.
A sidewalk and trail will be constructed on either side of Dell Road, Riley Lake Road and
County Road 1 as part of road construction and improvements. If the City should ever be asked
to take over maintenance of streets, the City would require a five foot concrete sidewalk along
the major spine roads. The Developer does not want sidewalks and has stated it would be
extremely unlikely that the project would ever be turned back to the public. The proponent has
agreed that if the City assumed ownership the homeowners within the development would be
required to pay for the installation of the sidewalk system, either through the association or
through assessments. This commitment should be induded in the Developer's Agreement and
be part of the association covenants.
Another trail issue is access to Riley Lake Park and other City and regional trails. This
community, whether public or private, will want to explore other areas within the community.
It is suggested that connections to the trail system be added. Connections to the trail system
could be gated similar to the roadway, but if the trail system is not installed, staff recommends
access points be identified and kept open similar to the emergency vehicle routes in case public
ownership and trail connections occur sometime in the future.
RECOl\1MENDATIONS:
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources staff believe that compelling reasons have been
provided to substantiate changes in the Comprehensive Guideplan and that the PUD has proposed
an acceptable use for the property. Staff recommends approval of the project as proposed based
on the Planning Staff Report and the following conditions:
1. All outlots lying west of the proposed Riley Lake Road be dedicated to the City at time
of final plat.
2. Cash park fees be paid at time of building permit issuance.
3. Tree loss is limited to 30%.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
THROUGH: Chris Enger, Director of Planning
FROM: Michael D. Franzen, Senior Planner
DATE: July 2, 1992
SUBJECT: Suggestions for Reviewing the Marsh Creek Golf Course
When reviewing a Planned Unit Development, the Commission should first consider the general
feasibility of the project. For this project, "general feasibility" would mean whether or not a
private golf course and a controlled access residential development project are an acceptable land
use on this site. However, sometimes it is difficult to give a general approval of a plan without
all of the detailed questions being answered. Your thoughts and comments should be kept at the
big picture level and not be concerned with details.
One of the reasons for a general review is that only general information is required. Enough
information is required in order to understand the plan and the potential impact on natural
features and city infrastructure (roads and utilities). For example, staff would ask for a plan to
show how sewer could be extended to the site, but wouldn't ask for construction plans which
show the depth of the pipe. Another example would be Dell Road. We need to know where
it's being relocated to but not the construction drawings.
The PUD Concept is not a way to bypass the normal City process and requirements for
subdivision review. The PUD Concept approval becomes the direction for the developt-r to
proceed with the preparation of final plans consistent with the PUD. The rezoning and
subdivision plans required at a later date for all phases of the project becomes the bash for
reaffirming the original concept approval by the City.
The PUD process should be used to identify issues and approaches appropriate for dealing ',vith
them. For example, storm water quality is an issue. The approach would be to use NURP
ponds as a pretreatment area before water is discharged into the wetland areas. The PUD
concept would identify general areas for the NURP ponds, however, the final design would not
be determined until the project was ready for rezoning and subdivision review. The Commhsion
could stipulate what the water quality plan should accomplish such as:
1. The size of the NURP pond will depend upon the size of the drainage area.
2. A phosphorus loading analysis of the Golf Course.
1
3. Minimize sediment and erosion into Lake Riley, the wetlands, and Riley Creek.
4. Use the MPCA Best Management practices.
5. Grading the site in phases.
6. Seeding the areas disturbed immediately after construction.
Another example of the "issue/approach" review is tree loss and plan changes. Tree loss is
45 %. The approach to reduce tree loss is to revise the PUD for larger lots in the wooded area
and move the driving range to the south. At the time of rezoning and platting of the property,
a detailed tree inventory would be required, as well as a tree replacement plan. A tree
replacement plan is required by code but really is not necessary in order to determine the
feasibility of the project.
An EA W is required according to State law. By the time the Planning Commission reviews the
PUD plan on July 27, the EA W will be underway. Since the EA W is a costly document to
prepare, the proponent would like to have a general concept approval of the plan and action on
the Comprehensive Guide Plan before proceeding with the detailed review required of an EA W.
The proponent will return to the Planning Commission for the review of the Environmental
Assessment Worksheet and if the impacts of the development are high, mitigation measures
and/or plan changes may be required. The three main issues that wi11likely arise out of the
•
EA W would be traffic impacts, storm water quality impacts, and archeological impacts. These •
portions of the EA W will be complete by the July 27th meeting.
The detailed Staff Report to the Planning Commission for the July 27th meeting will clearly
identify the Guide Plan Changes and compelling reasons for or against changing the
Comprehensive Guide Plan so that the Planning Commission can make a land use decision. The
Staff Report will also identify and expand on the major development issues identified in the June
18th Staff Report and recommend an approach for dealing with the following issues including:
tree loss, wetlands, environmental assessment worksheet, storm water quality, public vs. private
roads, emergency vehicle access, shoreland ordinance, phasing plan and flood plain impacts.
After an approval by the City of the Guide Plan Change and the PUD Concept, the developer
will appear before the Planning Commission this Fall for a rezoning and plan review of phase
I as well as the grading and development plans for the 18 hole Golf Course and the Clubhouse.
At that time the Planning Commission will review details such as:
1. Lot Sizes and Setbacks
2. Tree Impact and Tree Replacement
3. Storm Water Quality Analysis and Design of the Storm Sewer System including
the size of pipes and the size and shape of the NURP ponds.
2 •
•
•
•
4 . Size, Type and Location of Sanitary Sewer and Water
5. A Detailed Grading and Erosion Control Plan.
Keep in mind as you digest the upcoming Staff Report that the review of the PUD is general,
and so is the approval. The rezoning and subdivision plans to be reviewed in the future become
the basis for reaffirming the original concept approval by the City .

Staff Report
Marsh Creek Golf Course
June 18, 1992
BACKGROUND
This is the first of at least two Public Hearings at the Planning Commission on the Marsh Creek
Golf Course. Monday's meeting should be used for presentation by the proponent, receiving
input from surrounding neighbors, and identifying planning and planned development issues.
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN CHANGE
Two changes in the Comprehensive Guide Plan are being requested by the proponent:
1. Attachment A is a change in the Comprehensive Guide Plan to realign Scenic
Heights Road and Dell Road.
2. Attachment B is a Comprehensive Guide Plan Change for approximately 60 acres
of open space corridor to low density residential.
The City must determine whether or not there are compelling reasons for both changes in the
Comprehensive Guide Plan. The City must consider whether or not the changes represent an
alternative way of accomplishing the Guide Plan objectives of providing for open space corridors
and collector road systems.
INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS
In 1988, the City commissioned a development phasing and infrastructure improvement study
to be completed for what is generally referred to as the southwest area of Eden Prairie. The
intent of the study was to provide a factual and practical basis for the approval of the
development plans in the southwestern area of the City, and to enable such approvals to be
rendered in an orderly and efficient manner. The intent was not to unreasonably restrict, but
rather to accommodate development in an orderly manner by matching growth by needed
infrastructure in a manner which does not accelerate or push development.
As part of the study, investigation was made into existing and future capacities of four major
infrastructures: public roadways, sanitary sewer, water and drainage. The initial task was to
establish a full development plan for the entire study area with conceptual layouts for each
infrastructure system. The full development plan became the basis for subsequent development
phasing analyses. Each system was tested for constraints on development and to determine
which system, if any, might impose limitations for development in a particular area .
Staff Report
Marsh Creek Golf Course
June 18, 1992
Attachment D shows the phasing plan for how improvements would be phased throughout the
southwest area. Attachments E, F, G and H refer to the major infrastructure categories
including sewer, water, storm drainage, and traffic.
The Marsh Creek Golf Course is in area 3 and part of the full development area in the future.
This means that the timing of the project (Summer of 1993) is before Areas 2ab and Area 3
develop. This may place some burdens on land area which is not ready to be developed. The
following are major improvements which need to be completed in order for this project to
proceed as identified in the Southwest Area study:
1. Extension of a 21" sewer line from the Red Rock Intercepter which is located to
the north of the project.
2. Extension of a 12" watermain along Dell Road, and looping of a watermain
through the project along Lake Riley Road to County Road 1.
3. Storm drainage improvements including storm sewer which outlet into Lake Riley
and Riley Creek.
4.
TREE LOSS
Construction of Dell Road and Scenic Heights Road (Riley Lake Road) and
required improvements to County Road 1.
There is approximately 115 acres of woodlands on site. The estimated tree loss based upon
development plan as proposed is 45 %. Since there are over 420 acres on this project including
the Golf Course, a tree loss of 45 % is too high. Attachment C indicates how development on
this property could be modified to preserve 75 % of the significant trees. Attachment C indicates
where the lot sizes should be larger in the wooded area. This may be a candidate site for Rl-44.
A second area is to move the driving range out of the wooded area to the south. Both of these
changes have been discussed with the proponent and they are receptive to making changes.
WETLANDS
A wetland inventory has been completed for the property. There are 24 wetlands having an
overall size of 71.5 acres. The development plan as proposed proposes to filII. 7 acres. Some
of the roads are located close to the wetland areas and although in concept the wetland areas are
not impacted, it can be expected that actual grading would create greater impact. Considering
the size of the project, there should be no encroachment into the wetland areas. A set back area
around each wetland should be established to preserve adjacent vegetation.

Staff Report
Marsh Creek Golf Course
June 18, 1992
The proponent has provided a wetland mitigation plan based on a 1 for 1 replacement.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WORKSHEET
Because the project exceeds 250 unattached housing units in the 7 county metropolitan area, an
Environmental Assessment Worksheet is required. The Environmental Worksheet has not been
prepared at this time.
STORM WATER QUALITY
The storm water management plan which indicates that the site will be developed according to
NURP standards. A NURP pond is a pretreatment pond that allow sediments and pollutants to
settle out before water is discharged into the wetland areas. The storm water management plan
indicates drainage arrows and NURP ponds located prior to discharge into any of the wetland
areas, Lake Riley or Purgatory Creek.
PUBLIC ROADS VS. PRIVATE ROADS. A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVER
The proponent wishes to create a fully secure, gated residential neighborhood. To accomplish
this, it is necessary to have a private, internal road system. These roads will be constructed to
City standards in the event they would be turned over to the City for maintenance in the future.
Since the public/private road is a waiver from the City code, the City may wish to consider what
are the trade-offs or benefits to the City for allowing a private road system waiver.
EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS
This project has one entrance on the proposed Dell Road. Because of this, the project contains
miles of dead-end cul-de-sacs. This is very difficult for emergency vehicle access. Two
emergency vehicle access points are provided on site and would be designed to accommodate
emergency vehicle standards. Since emergency vehicle access is limited, internal looping of the
watermain within the project is critical. Large houses over 3500 sq. ft. typically have a higher
water demand and it may be necessary to provide larger water pipes than are typically required
for most residential areas. Sprinkling of these large residential units could be a consideration,
as well as reducing the hydrant spacing from the normal City standard of 600 feet to 300 feet.
SHORELAND ORDINANCE
The shoreland area defined by City code is within 1000 feet of the high water mark of Riley
Lake and 300 feet from the center line of Riley Creek .
Staff Report
Marsh Creek Golf Course
June 18, 1992
Riley Lake is classified as a recreational development water. Any single family lots with public
sewer and water which directly abut the Lake or are within 150 feet of the high water mark must
have a minimum lot size of 20,000 sq. ft., 120 feet of width at the building setback, 120 feet
of width at the highwater mark, and a minimum setback from the highwater mark of 100 feet.
Riley Creek is classified as a general development water. For single family lots abutting or
within 150 feet of the highwater mark of the Creek with public sewer and water must have a
minimum lot size of 13,500 sq. ft., a minimum width at the building setback line of 120 feet,
a minimum width at the ordinary high water mark of 120 feet, a minimum setback from the
ordinary high water mark of 100 feet.
At the PUD Concept level it is difficult to evaluate whether or not the project as proposed is in
compliance with the Shoreland Ordinance. It should be stipulated as a condition of the Planned
Unit Development to meet the minimum requirements of the Shoreland Ordinance.
•
The purpose of the Shoreland Ordinance is to preserve the Shoreland areas. Therefore natural
vegetation along the lakeshore, along the creek and any adjoining steep slopes need to be
preserved as part of the proposal. There are very steep slopes along Purgatory Creek and Staff
is concerned that the lot sizes as proposed are not deep enough to allow for buildings to be built •
without impacting the creek corridor. On other parts of the creek, golf holes are being proposed
as well. Natural vegetation along the creek corridor along the edge of the golf course must be
preserved also.
PHASING PLAN
One of the requirements of the Planned Unit Development ordinance is to provide a phasing plan
for how the project would be built. The phasing plan has not been developed at this time.
FLOOD PLAIN DELINEATION
The storm water management plan delineates the 100 year flood plain for Riley Creek. The City
code and the Watershed District will require that the lowest floor of any residence has to be a
minimum of 2 feet above the 100 feet flood level.

MARSH CREEK QUESTIONS
What is the justification for the change in the Comprehensive Guide Plan to
realign Dell Road and Scenic Heights Road?
2. What is the justification for changing the Comprehensive Guide Plan to change
an open space corridor?
3. Is there a storm water quality plan which includes pretreatment of storm water
before discharge into wetland areas, Purgatory Creek and Lake Riley?
4. How can the development plan be changed to preserve 75% of the significant
trees on site?
5. Have wetlands been delineated in accordance with the Wetlands Preservation Act
and approved by the Watershed District? If wetlands are being filled, to what
extent is this and what is the mitigation plan? Will yards be mowed to the edge
of the Wetlands?
6. An EA W is required for this project. What is the status of the EA W?
7. How consistent is the project with the Shoreland Ordinance? The shoreland area
is defined as 300 feet on either side of Riley Creek which bisects the property and
1000 feet of the highwater mark of Riley Lake.
8. How can the steep slopes adjacent to Riley Creek be protected?
9. Most of the Golf Course area is outside of the phasing plan for the southwest
area. How can sewer, storm sewer, water and road projects be extended to this
project? What time frame will these improvements be completed, and what
impact will these improvements have on adjoining properties which are not ready
to be developed?
10. Where is the 100 year flood plain located on the property, and how will the site
be developed in accordance with the City'S flood plain regulations?
11. What justification is there for the City to grant a planned unit development waiver
to allow a private road system instead of public streets?
12. What type of emergency vehicle access is provided to this project?

Park?
-MEMORANDUM-
TO: Development Review Committee Members
FROM: Engineering Department
DATE: June 11, 1992
SUBJECT: Comments on Marsh Creek PUD
The following are preliminary comments by the Engineering Department in reviewing plans for
the Marsh Creek PUD provided by Sienna Corporation and dated May 15, 1992. Please be
advised that the plan submitted did not include a grading, utility, or flood plain impact plan;
therefore, additional comments and concerns may be raised upon review of those additional
plans.
• Streets should be constructed to meet Eden Prairie standards, i.e., 28-foot width,
concrete curb and gutter, 30 mph design speed, and full structural section. It is the
City's understanding that the streets will be privately owned and maintained, while the
utilities will be publicly owned and maintained. Provide a proposal for maintenance
program and responsibilities with regard to maintaining the private streets.
• Recommend looping of interior streets by connecting some cul-de-sacs to provide for
better traffic circulation.
• Coordinate grading and proposed elevations with those of the Riley Lake Park plan and
Riley Lake Road. The grading plan should be designed to minimize direct run-off into
protected wetlands, lakes, creeks, etc., and enhance overall water quality.
• Coordinate the proposed light-rail corridor crossings with the Hennepin County Light-
Rail authority.
• The proposed alignment for Riley Lake Road should be reviewed in more detail to see
if a better alignment is possible. In designing construction plans for Riley Lake Road,
the developer's engineer should provide for improving existing site distance at the
intersection of CSAH 1 and Riley Lake Road.
• Provide a traffic analysis for the development's impact on Dell Road and the justification
for signalizing the intersection of Dell Road and Marsh Creek entrance.
• Provide a proposal for an access plan to the development for utility maintenance crews,
school buses, deliveries, etc.
• Provide a list of proposed street names so they may be coordinated with existing street
names in Eden Prairie.

Engineering Department
Comments on Marsh Creek PUD
• The proposed alignment of Dell Road is questionable with regards to the wetland
impacts, construction methods, the LRT crossing, and road geometrics.
• This development will likely be asked to participate in costs in providing lateral benefits
of sanitary sewer and watermain and an appropriate share of storm sewer and street costs
within Dell Road, Riley Lake Road and Pioneer Trail as they abut the development.
• The Southwestern Eden Prairie Development Phasing Study shows sanitary sewer service
to this project through a series of lateral sewer extensions coming from the Red Rock
Interceptor lying north of this project. Coordinate sanitary sewer sizing and alignment
with Engineering Department.
• Looping of the interior watermain system will be necessary to provide for better fire
protection and continuous service. Coordinate with the fire marshall. Connections
should also be made to perimeter public streets.
•
•
Coordinate development with Highway 212 design.
Trunk sanitary sewer and watermain assessments will be levied upon development of this
project at the prevailing rates. The 1992 rate is $3,150/acre.
• Storm water will be required to be treated on site with the use of NURP ponds for water
quality enhancemen: __ F-~/N.P-~

Dear Michael:
I came across this article in the July 1st addition of the
Twin cities Reader. I thought it was appropriate to send
this to you considering the Marsh Creek proposed development.
This is our opportunity to ~revent this from happening to
Lake Riley. I would apprec1ate if you could copy this
article for each of the planning commission members. Thank
you.

•
CENI1JRY AND A HAlF AGO,TIIEMINNEAPO-
lis Chain of Lakes was described by early
settler Henry Snelling as "exquisitely
beautiful sheets ofwater~~ . so clear and
transparent that their bottoms can be
seen in the deepest part .... "Today, the
lakes are officially known as "overly fertile,"
with areas of "toxic mixing," a "dissolved oxy-
gen deficit," and high "fecal coliform," and are
even "threatened" for use as swimming water.
Unofficially, lakes-area residents regard them
as "stinky," "scummy," and just plain "yuck!"
As lakes go, those in the Chain of Lakes in .
southwestern Minneapolis are 'young waters
and should be sparkling recreational assets to
the community. But Cedar, Calhoun, Harriet,
and Isles are dying, aged several hundred years
since cities sprang up around them.
It's not hard to see what the problem is.
Jutting into yourfavorite urban lake, pext to the
beach where you swim, is a large plastic sewer
pipe. Coming out of the pipe is a witchy mix-
ture, a choking layer of urban junk, from tennis.
balls to ballpoints, tampons to condoms -and
that's only what can be seen.
., Who'd want to swim in that stuff, or fish
there, or for that matter let their kids play in it?
'What is that stuff anyway and what's it doing to
our lakes?
That "stuff' is storm water runoff. the scourge
of city lakes. It's called nonpoint pollution be-
cause it originates not at definable locations,
but in a thousand points of filth across the
landscape. And it's changing the Minneapolis
Chain of Lakes dramatically.
M INNEAPOUS IS NO LONGER A RANDOM
encampment on the Mississippi as it
was 150 years ago. As the city's open
land has been converted to nonabsor-
bent curb and gutter, roofs and parking
lots, the amount of rainfall that can find grass
and infiltrate the soil has been reduced signifi-
cantly; more than half of all precipitation is
transformed into runoff.
William Boudreau is the author 0/ A Green
Fishennan Never Caught A Brown Trout Es-
says on Minnesota Ecology. •
Urban storm water runoff, as befits a child of
the streets, associates with some pretty rough
company: Some 127 different poisons have
been identified in the tide swept up by the
average rainfall and deposited in the city's storm
sewers. ,
From there the whole weird mess -some 2
billion gallons annually -is piped into the low-
lying basins formed by the city's Chain of Lakes.
The irony is that as things currently stand, any
one of the Minneapolis lakes would be better off
if a treatment facility were located on its shores
and all the sewage in the Twin Cities directed to
it The treated effluent discharged into the lake
would be cleaner than the storm water that
slides into it now.
Original Clean Water Act (CWN legislation
in the environmental heyday of the 1970s
strove to make the nation's water swimmable
and drinkable. But 20 years later, the City of
Lakes is still in the data-gathering stage -
even as the water Quality of its celebrated lakes
deteriorates.
The Clean Water Act was a seminal event in
environmental history,'no doubt, but for the
most part, it remains only words, without the
will or money necessary for enforcement It
sounds so good -why doesn't it work?
Through the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) , created in 1972
to implement CWA aims, states were forced to
catalog the condition of all their rivers and
lakes, and to designate a hierarchy of uses
(potable water, recreation, commerce) based
on existing water quality. In addition, munici-
palities were directed to locate and eliminate all
pollutant discharges to these waters.
Pollutant discharges from definable sources
such as industrial and sewage waste outfall
pipes were easiest to find and regulate. While
NPDES concentrated on these "point" sources
of pollution, it became clear that the nation's
waters faced degradation from other "nonpoint"
sources. such as agricultural and urban storm
water runoff. In 1978, the EPA began the Na-
tionwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP) to
calculate this danger.
NURP identified urban storm water runoff
as non point pollution responsible for 75 percent
to 99 percent of surface water pollution. Sev-
enty-seven "priority pollutants" were detected
in runoff samples from 38 states; toxic metals,
pesticides, hydrocarbons, poisons such as ar-
senic and cyanide, oxygen-<lemanding nutri-
ents, and fecal streptococcus bacteria threat-
ened "impainnents" to the designated uses of
fully one-third of the country's inland waters
(see sidebar).
NURP also detennined that in many cases,
stonn water runoff discharged into lakes was
significantly dirtier than water cleansed by
municipal sewage treatment plants, and a risk
not only to aquatic organisms but to hwnan
health as well. _
Minnesota, despite a reputation, strict
environmental standards, was found to be at
greater risk than many other states. First, the
state has a large number of urban lakes func-
tioning as receiving waters. Second. and per-
haps most ironically, Minnesota. and particu-
larly Minneapolis, has done a fine job of meet-
ing federal rules separating sanitary sewage
(residential wastes) from street runoff.
Before separation, some storm water runoff
would piggyback to the treatment facility along
with sanitary sewage. But the subterranean
network of conduits was built to handle only dry
weather flow. Heavy rainfall choked the aged
drains, diverting hundreds of millions of gal-
lons of untreated sewage directly into the Mis-
sissippi, much to the consternation of down-
stream residents who took their drinking water
from the river.
With separation, no sewage goes W" .... '!ated
regardless of rainfall or snowmelt Nor, Jrtu-
nately, does any storm water get treatment
Having spent millions to separate sewers, few
officials wanted to acknowledge that they had
just created a new category of pollutants. Auto-
mobile and animal wastes, pesticides and air-
borne pollutants, like indigent derelicts, are left
on the streets to be shunted into gutters and
then into local lakes and streams with every
rainfall or snowmelt
EPA environmental scientist Stephen Jann
says many in the agency have come to regard
untreated storm water runoff from separated
sewer systems as the cause of receiving water
"impairments. "
In order to correct this situation, the Water
Quality Act of 1987 directs the EPA to declare
rules for stonn water discharges. Now cities •
such as Minneapolis and St Paul are required
to seek permits for stonn water discharged into
local waters. .
To receive a permit, Minneapolis and St
Paul had to conduct studies of their stonn
waters, determining what pollutants are present
and their effects on receiving waters. Next, they
will be required to report any violations of exist-
ing water quality standards and to elaborate
which management practices they intend to
enact in order "to reduce the discharge of pol-
lutants to the maximum extent practicable,"
says Jann. .
"Don't look for anyone to hit a home run on
this one," cautions Bruce Wilson, research sci-
entist for the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA) and head of the Lakes Diag-
nostic Study now underway. '1l1e lakes did not
deteriorate overnight, and cleaning them up
will take time -and money."
THE FIRSf DOCUMENTED WARNINGS ABour
poor water quality in the Chain of Lake
appeared at the height of the environmen-
~ tal movement in the late '60s. A 1969
( ),. study of the Minneapolis lakes conducted
~by consulting engineers Hickok and Associates
concluded that all city lakes were "ecologically
semi-degraded" to such an extent that "clean
water lifefonns" -that is, tiny, pollution-sensi-
tive creatures -were either entirely absent or
reduced to a minimum. .
Similarly, all city lakes had sufficient nutri-
ents to spawn "abundant" nuisance algal blooms.
Hickok suggested that the source of the threat
r was street runoff.
Four years later, professors Joseph Shapiro
and Hans-Olaf Pfannkuch of the University of
Minnesota's Umnological Research Center is-
sued an exhaustive study of the Chain ofl.akes.
Using pollen analyses of sediments, Shapiro
estimated that before extensive urbanization
these lakes had been of the cleanest type.
However, beginning nearly 70 years ago,
intensive development led to drainage of
marshes and an increase in hardened surfaces.
Asphalt and concrete acted like a billiard table,
collecting precipitation and whatever else lay
about and flinging it downhill via the nearest
storm drain to the city's lakes. The result of this
lengthy defilement, concluded Shapiro and
Pfannkuch, had been a definite slump in water
quality: City lakes now tended to be of the
dirtiest type.
In 1980, Metropolitan Council lake biochem-
ist Dick Osgood surveyed 600 of the metro
area's lakes as stipulated by the EPA and
NPDES.
Osgood measured lake transparency and
available nutrients and assigned each lake a
position on what is known as Carlson's Trophic
Status Index, or ISl. A lake's ISI number is a
combined measure of three key tests that indi-
cate "greenness."
The greener and more fertile a lake be-
comes, the higher it moves on the productivity,
or trophic, charts -and the less desirable it is
from a human standpoint
At around 60 on this slippery slope, your
lake loses much of its human recreational po-
tential. No longer a swimming pool, drinking
reservoir, water-ski course, and fish factory, it
becomes a filter for the earth and a fecund
nursery for animals, birds, and reptiles. Thanks
to you, me, and the automobile -and the
existing storm water system -most Minne-
. apolis lakes suffer symptoms of what Osgood
termed "advanced cultural eutrophication" or
"over-nourishment"
Eutrophic lakes are not clean. They harbor
the wrong kinds of critters: bottom-loving fish
species; bacteria traced to gastroenteritis, an
inflammation of the intestinal tract; staphylo-
coccus infections; and colonies of poisonous
blue-green algae that endanger humans and
animals.
As a lake nears 65 on the trophic index, you
can no longer swim in it A simple test of
whether a lake is swimmable costs nothing,
takes but a minute, and can be perfonned by
anyone. According to Wilson and Steven A.
Hieskary, authors of numerous lake assess-
ments, lakes in this neck of the watershed are
"perceived" to be unswimmable if nutrients
obscure water clarity at 1.5 meters, or approxi-
mately 5 feet To "test" the water, simply stand
in it at shoulder height; if you cannot see your
toes, the water is too dirty.
In Minnesota, most complaints about lake
water quality center on excessive nutrients.
Phosphorus and nitrogen, especially, cause al-
gal blooms and excessive aquatic plant growth.
"We have tended to focus on nutrients," says
Osgood, currently with the nonprofit think tank
Freshwater Foundation, "because the effects
are visible to the eye. We haven't studied the
undisputed presence of toxic metals because of
the cost involved. It costs $10 to test a water
sample for phosphorous, but as much as a
$1,000 for lead or PCBs."
The EPA. of course, not only has that kind of
cash, it wants to compel states to spend similar
amounts in support of CWA goals. Stephen
Jann, with the EPA's regional office in Chicago,
regards the long list of 77 toxic organic and
inorganic pollutants found by NURP to be de
rigueur when it comes to testing.
Amy Pelka, EPA regional water quality su-
pervisor, likewise insists that the CWA's "non-
degradation" policy applies to all waters. Yet
establishing goals is hardly the same as ham-
mering out testing procedures, setting stan-
dards, tagging violators, and exacting penal-
ties. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the
way existing standards are enforced by the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency ..
. "Swimmable, fishable" legislation was incor-
porated into Minnesota statutes as Chapter
7050 -"Standards for the Protection of the
Quality and Purity of the Waters of the State."
'1l1e Rules" are loaded with delightful sound-
ing phrases: "It is the policy of the state of
Minnesota to protect all waters from significant
degradation from point and nonpoint sources
... no sewage, industrial waste, or other wastes
shall be discharged from either point or nonpoint
sources into any waters of the state so as to
cause any nuisance conditions, excessive
growths of aquatic plants, excessive suspended
solids," etc. But enough differences in interpre-
tation exist to fill a 16-inch sewer pipe.
THE WATERS OF THE MINNEAPOUS CHAIN
of Lakes are known as Class 2b in quality
(recreational swimming and fishing), fail-
ing short of Outstanding Resources (the
Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilder-
ness) and Class A (water supply)' quality. Still,
they are supposed to pass muster on some 54
criteria (29 aquatic life.criteria and 25 additional
frequently encountered pollutants), yet such

tests as exist are for nutrients only.
Likewise, a drop in trophic status in lakes
such as Calhoun is supposed to set off alarms
that could wake a pollution watchdog. How-
ever, the MPCA monitoring budget has been
cut by 80 percent in the last year, and there
is significant reluctance at the agency to
interpreting "The Rules" in a confrontational
manner.
TIle EPA's Jann admits that local clean
water standards in "11le Rules" don't specify
stoml water standards. But, he points out,
storm water discharged from a pipe into a lake
must meet EPA receiving water standards be-
cause by entering a pipe it becomes, techni-
cally, a point source.
Yet, storm waters vary significantly, and
rule-makers arc uncertain whether the wa-
ters, even when discharged from point-
source pipes, should be held to existing
water quality standards, with their unyielding
nUlllerical thresholds, or to the more lenient
performance standards that aim simply to
avoid problem levels of pollutants "to the
maximum extent possible."
The first part of Minneapolis's permit appli-
cation was submilled to the MPCA in Novem-
ber 1991.11lal preliminary application revealed
appalling indices of pollution in the Chain of
L1kes. Out it did not measure what, precisely, .
is in storm water pollution.
In fact, measures of what's in urban stOlm
water runoff are rarer than snail darters or
spotted owls. Pollutant measurements are cur-
rently being' conducted under the state
legislature's Clean Water PartJlersh ip program.
O
F COURSE, TIIERE IS A SOLunON THAT
still places lakes in the center of the
recreational picture rather than on the
shelf. Gary Oberts, hydrologist and se-
nior environment.11 planner for the Met-
ropolitan Council, sits atop a storm water data-.
base a dozen years in depth. Ilis advice: Cap
the source.
111al means gelling tough wilh the fellow
who stores his diliy oil in an open cont.1iner
behind the garage (a single quart of oil can
contaminate 250,000 gallons of water) ; encour-
aging businesses to sweep their parking lots
regularly and refrain from hosing the !iller that
collects there into the storm sewer; getting Ule
city'to clean the catch basins under each sewer
grate more frequently to intercept the sand
and grit and the unwelcome chemicals attached
to them; and reducing the herds of feathered
outhouses -a.k.a. geese -living on lake-
shores, especially at Lake of the Isles.
Oberts also suggests approximating the
system that worked to cleanse McCarrons
L1ke in Roseville. 11lere a settling pond, veg-
etation, and filters form a three-step process
that improves water quality to where it was
before suburbanization. Such a process, claims
Oberts, would mean that urban lakes no longer
serve "as catchment basins for all the crap that
municipalities choose not to police."
Belter watershed management was also
given high marks by NURP. Locally, it could
mean 1) elimination of unnecessary lawn treat-
ments; 2) more frequent st?\e!-sw,eepings in

traffic corridors adjacent the lakes; 3) stiffer
penalties and enforcement of existing laws
against depositing animal feces; and 4) public
education to stop random dumpings.
With the lirst part of the Minneapolis appli-
cation for a stonn water discharge pennit in
MPCA hands, David Sahli, staff engineer for
the MPCA municipal water quality section, says
NPDES guidelines left no choice but to approve
the pennit, which gives Minneapolis five more
years to pollute.
TIle second pali of Ule NPDES process -
an analysis of what's in stoml water runoff and
adopting the best method of cleaning it up -is
due later this year.
Jody Polzin, project engineer for the Minne-
apolis Public Works Department, is noncom-
mit!'11: ''We don't know what permit water has
to look like." Drinking water, for example, has
to meet very exacting standards in terms of
foreign bacteria and other foreign matter. "It's
not like drinking water."
"After analyzing what we have in nJnoff that
could be a problem," says Polzin, "we go to the
City Council and tell them what BMPs [Best
Management Practices, a bureaucratic term
roughly meaning the latest technology) are,
and they balance Ulat against how much the
city is wiIIing to spend."
Sahli says the "real meat" ofthe issue doesn't
begin until Ule agency's negotiation with Min-
neapolis concerning what is wrong and what
has to be done to fIX it. .
The cost/benefit negotiation will be an inter-
esting one. TIle millions necessary to clean the
lakes must be compared to the millions that will
be lost in property values, tourist revenues,
public health, etc. ifUley are allowed to degrade
further.
Yet Minneapolis is not known to relinquish
sovereignty or funds easily. "We tell the PCA
what we are wiIIing to do to inlprove water
quality in Minneapolis in what's the most cost-
effective manner," says Poltin.
The PCA is a permiLLing agency, and "all
permits require negotiation," says Sahli.
"The bigger the permittee, the bigger the
negotiation." • f :<, ... J

Those Lakes?
liE MINNEAI'OUS lAKES Aim CATCII
basins for a host of nasty pollutants
that originate largely from "non-
point" sources -Ulat is, they corne
from all over the area and. are
washed into the lakes via rain ;\nd
snow runoff water. The Nationwide Urban
Runoff Program (NURP), begun in 1978
to study nonpoint pollution, has identified
the nastiest of these, called them "priority
pollutants," and dislilled lhem inlo a list
lhal is essentially a who's who of waler
loxins. Here is the NURP/slorm waler
rap sheel:
.:. Sediments. Toxic pollutants allach
themselves to fine grains of dirt and sand
lhal escape biannual streel sweepings. Once
in a lake, these particles -measured in
microns, or millions to the meter-smoUler
fish larvae and eggs, cause 'water Lo look
cloudy, clog gills, and impair sight-feeding
fish.
.:. Nutrients. 1l1is group includes lawn
clippings, leaves, animal droppings, and
fertilizers. Professor Joseph Shapiro, of the
University of Minnesota, proved in 1973 that
each year Lake Harriet received several tons
of phosphorous from "unnecessary" lawn
stimulants alone; Ule amount is likely even
higher now.
Nutrient overload leads to shoreline
concentrations of deadly blue-green algae.
111ese filmy, toxic colonies produce rashes
and asUlma attacks in humans; Uley can kill
fish, nesting birds, and dogs in a matter of
hours.
.:. Colifonn bacteria. An assortment of
bacteria from the intestines of warm-blooded
creatures can produce cramps, dian'hea, and
vomiting, particularly in children.111ese may
come from birds, dogs, swimmers, even
baby diapers Iitteling the street.
J ere Lee, limnologist for Ule Minneapolis
Park Board, says preliminary results of the
required colifonu testing showed that "some
counts were extremely high; we didn'l expect
. numbers in Ulis range."llle average "runoff
event," explained Lee, is about 100 times as
bacteria-laden as drinking water.
Minneapolis Public Health Department
Inspector Jake Baerg says twice-monthly
testing of the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes
revealed beach colifonn counts "often" in
excess of MPCA criteria and recreational
standards for 10 Upper Mississippi stales,
including Minnesota.
''TIle cheapest way" to approach the
problem of lake coliform pollution, says
Baerg, is to "build more swilllluing pools."
.:. Toxic metals. Zinc, lead, and copper
were detected in 90 percent of samples;
chromiulll, silver, selenium, beryllium,
asbestos, and nickel were also present in
a high proportion of the NURP samples.
.:. Pesticides. Whether part of lawn
treatments or spraying, ingredients such
as Chlordane, IJndane, and hexachloro-
cyclohexane are extremely poisonolls and
their damage to aquatic life well-doc-
umented.
.:. Other toxic chemicals. including
known carcinogens. 'nlese include wood.

propanes, and butadlenes; ethers, an-
thracene, benzene, and toxaphene; lIuor·

Ihalene.
.:. Automobile pollutants. Hydro·
carbons in fuel and lubricants -that
rainbow-hued "filmy stufr -kill aquatic
organisms at low concentrations and can
sicken humans.
Cadmium, acomponentofbelted tires,
showed up in haii of NURP samples.

Re: Proposed LRT Crossing -Our Parcel 73-33040
Dear Rick,
JUL 1 3 1!:i!;~
AIlS'd ... ~ ........ -
This letter is in response to your proposed Marsh Creek Development Concept Plan, dated
May 15, 1992, as it relates to our Light Rail Transit corridor in Eden Prairie.
It appears that we will be receptive to the relocation of Lake Riley Road about 1,600 feet •
to the northeast and to a crossing for the proposed Dell Road and one addition-grade
crossing for your internal street system.
We will work with you to coordinate one addition-grade-separated crossing for access to the
clubhouse and for your cartcrossing.
As we discussed, the crossing for Dell Road and the relocated crossing of Lake Riley Road
will be easements to the city of Eden Prairie. The other two crossings will be permanent
easement to your corporation. There will be a fee for the easement to the Sienna
Corporation and there must be an understanding that if signals are needed at any time in
the future, for the crossings of the transit corridor, they will be installed at your expense.
Our agreement, of course, is further subject to our Commissioners Board approval.
Sincerely,
~h1J4:/~

Dear Allan:
•
Thanks for meeting with Charles Polch and me on July 7th relative to the Marsh Creek G~lf
Course proposal. 1 also would like to confirm what wc had discussed. I
We raised a concern about the continuity of L)'man/Lakc Rilcy Boulevard as it croSses the
Eden Prairie city line. It was our understanding that based upon discussions that had tAken .
place several years ago. that Lakc Riley Boulevard was to be realigned to intersect with D~ll
Road. Based upon these discussions. Lyman/Lake Riley Boulevard east of Highway 101 'fas
anticipated to be constructed as a four lane facility in Chanhassen. You outlined for us th¢
fact that if the Marsh Creek Golf Course proposal goes forward. Lake Riley Boulevard in \
Eden Prairie would essentially remain on its current alignment The only exception would! be
that it would incorporate a deviation around the park on the east side of the lake. You also
confirmed for us that this street will retain its state aid designation and is likely to be I
maintained in satisfactory condition and may be improved in the future. As I result of the5c
discussions, Charles and 1 agreed that LymanlLake Riley Boulevard east of Hwy. 101 in I
Chanhassen would likely only need to be up;raded as an improved two lane facility. Traffic
being generated in Chanhassen alone does not wmant a four lane roadway and as a result 'of
the Marsh Creek Oolf Course proposal, there would be little or no traffic loading entering the
road from Eden Prairie. I
The second concern we raised was relative to the quality of surface water disCharges from be
Marsh Creek Oolf Course proposal into Lake Riley. As you awBrC. Chanhassen has been i
involved in developing 8 surface water management program for the past year and a halt. We
are already requiring all new developments to meet NURP standards and are looking into i
Andertaking remedial projects where existing development is causing problems. We ask you ~o confinn that the Marsh Creek Golf Course project would be developed in a manner

consistent with Best Management Practices and NURP standards. You indicated that Eden
Prairie shares this concern and is proposing to apply these review criteria. :
I
I
We spoke of one other matter that was not related to this development. I outlined the Moon
Valley proposal to mine clay on the site located in Chanhassen, adjacent to Eden Prairie on
Pioneer Trail, and gave you a copy of their grading plans. Please feel free to give me a call
with any concerns you might have regarding this request as soon as you have had a chance to

At or below 30 ug/l P allow no measurable increase in trophic state •
beyond natural variability. Measurable increases in phosphorus
concentration over a range from < 10 ug/l to 30 ug/l will be very
perceptible to long time lake users and result in reduced transparency
and increased algal abundance. Reduction of inlake phosphorus
concentration over this range may be desirable in some instances and
should lead to perceptible. improvements in water quality.
For lakes currently above this level of total phosphorus and
exhibiting water quality problems, a level of < 30 ug/l can serve as a
goal. Achieving a concentration ill this range should result in a
perceptible change in water quality in terms of increased
transparency, decline in average chlorophyll-a and reduction in
nuisance algal conditions.
Highly colored or /lbog stained/l lakes will not exhibit marked changes
in transparency with reductions in total phosphorus. In general, at
levels below 50 Pt-Co Units, color will have a minimal effeGt on
transparency (see section on Tro hic Status.
Criteria (Goal) Setting for Lakes in the North Central Hardwood Forests ) ~~~~~~~~~====~==~~~-~ Criteria Considerations
a) Trophic Status (summer-epilimnetic) tl~ical range 1 ~ercentil e2

Chlorophyll-a (mean) 5-22 ug/l

corresponding percentiles for /lall/l la~s in region (based on
assessed lakes, Figure 7).
LJ Mixing Status and Morphometry ...... '.-Inlake phosphorus is negatively correlated with mean depth for lakes in
this region. In contrast to the Northern Lakes and Forests ecoregion,
substantial differences are noted in the distribution of total phosphorus
concentrations between mixing types (Table 1). This suggests that at the
trophic status(levels commonly encountered in this region, lake mixing
status may pla~ a significant role in achievement of criteria. For
example, only ~5% of the polymictic lakes (assessed) exhibit phosphorus
concentrations'less than 50 ug/l and less than 10% exhibit phosphorus
concentrations less than 30 ug/l, a desirable level for assuring swimmable
conditions. Dimictic lakes may be more responsive to reductions in total
phosphorus from the watershed than polymictic lakes or lakes which stratify
intermittently ov~r the summer. In polymictic or intermittently stratified
lakes, the internal loading of phosphorus may be a substantial portion of
••
th~ phosphorus budget. Shallow lakes which currently meet criteria demand •
a high degree of protection due to their very limited capacity to
assimilate nutrients. This also applies to seepage or inflow lakes, which
cannot effectively flush excess nutrients from their basins. Also, the
•
-/1-
history of a lake will be very important in the goal setting process for
lakes not currently nleeting criteria .
c) use:_-------------------_______.
~ Swim!!!lng and aesthetics:_gw:+-'-full or at least partial support of
swimma5Te uses (MPCA, 1988). Partial support is defined as "impaired
swimmingll 26-50% of the time and "no swimmingll less than 10%. Full
support corresponds to a TS! ~ 59 and partial support corresponds to
TS! ranging from 60-65 based on statewide data. :1Regional and/or local
user perception may modify these TS! ranges. :J

. "
This implies that transparency should probably remain above 1.5 m at
least 75% of the time to avoid the perception of impaired or no
swimming. Based on F;gure 6, this corresponds to a phosphorus
concentration less than 40 ug/l or then a TS! value < 57 (Figure 3).
Total phosphorus concentrations should remainobelow 50 ug/l, however,
if even partial support of swimmable use is to be achieved. Above
this range, the frequency of transparencies less than 1 m increases
dramatically (Figure 6), as will occurrence of severe algal blooms.
This suggests a TS! on the order of 60 as an upper limit for achieving
swimmable use in this region.
2) Fishery:
3)
Less than 10% of the lakes in this region are ecologically classified
as walleye lakes. These lakes represent an important resource for the
region. Increases in trophic status which result in increased oxygen
demand could lead to stressed conditions (low oxygen) for this fishery
during peak summer stratification or under ice cover. Based on
f relationships between total phosphorus and hypolimnetic oxygen demand,
phosphorus concentrations below 40 ug/l are desirable. This
corresponds to the median for bass-panfish-walleye lakes in this
region.
Water Supply:
Maintain lowest inlake total phosphorus concentrations reasonable for
lakes in the region. For the North Central Hardwood Forests, this
'will correspond to phosphorus concentrations in the 25-30 ug/l range.
The severity and frequency of nuisance algal blooms can be expected to
increase dramatically at phosphorus concentrations above this range
(Figure 6). These blooms will interfere with treatment of the water
and lead to increased treatment costs and taste and odor problems. To
avoid the occurrence of sever~ nuisance blooms, a phosphorus
concentration in the 25-30 ug/l range is probably required. This
range corresponds to the 25th percentile for minimally impacted lakes
and -15th percentile for all lakes in this region .

places the slope is in several directions. Because
this soil is eroded, the surface layer in cultivated
areas has been mixed wi th the subsoil and is very
dark grayish-brown or dark grayish-.b.rown clay loam.
It is much lighter colored when dl"y. In places the
brownish subsoil is exposed.
Included in mapping were small patches of Dalbo
soils that have convex slopes. Also included were
areas of poorly drained Dundas and Cordova soils in
narrow drainageways that cross this soil and areas
of Glencoe soils in scattered depressions.
TIle main limitations are maintenance of tilth and
control of erosion. This soil is well suited to all

brown material from the original surface layer and
the dark yellowish-brown subsoil. TIle color is much
lighter when dry. In places small patches are ex-
posed that consist mainly of the brownish subsoil.
This soil contains less organic matter and is less

(HcD2) .--This hilly soil occupies 2-acre to IS-acre
areas on hillsides and knolls. Slopes are commonly
60 to 125 feet long. The slope is generally in
several directions. Because this soil is eroded,
the surface layer is clay loam that is a mixture of
the dark grayish-brown material from the original
surface layer and the dark yellowish-brown subsoil.
In places the surface layer is mainly material from
the dark-brown subsoil. The dry color is much
lighter. TIlis soil is lower in organic-matter con-
tent 'and is less friable than Hayden loams.
Included in mapping were a few, calcareous, olive-
brown, bald patches near the crest of slopes.
Included in convex areas were small patches of Dalbo
soils. Areas of Dundas and Cordova soils were in-
cluded in the few shallow drainageways and depres-
sions.
TIlis soil is severely limited for cultivated
crops because of the steepness of slopes and the
hazard of severe erosion. Careful management is
needed if intertilled crops are grown. Corn should
be grown only occasionally. Soybeans are not suited,
38
because they loosen the soil and increase erosion.

areas On hillsides. Slopes arc con~only SO to 9U
feet long. Slopes are broken by shallow downslope
drainageways and occasional deep ravines. Because
this soil is eroded, the surface layer is clay loam
that is a mixture of the grayish-brown surface layer
and the dark yellowish-brown subsoil. In a few
areas the surface layer is dark brown and consists
mainly of material from the subsoil. '111is soil has
a thinner surface layer and subsoil than the one
described as typical for the series. A few, small,
calcareous, olive-brown bald patches occur near the
crest of slopes. TIlis soil is lower in organic-
matter content and is less friable than \layden loams,
Steepness of slopes severely limits the use of
this soil for farming. TIlis soil erodes rapidly in
areas where the vegetative cover is sparse. It is
better suited to pasture or woodland or to recrea-
tional 'or wildlife uses than to most other uses.

are commonly 50 to 120 feet long. About 70 per.
of this unit is lIayden loam, and 30 percent is
Lester loam. 111e surface layer of the lIayden

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN 55346
DATE: AUGUST 12, 1992
RE: MARSH CREEK GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB
I am writing this letter as a resident of Eden Prairie that would
like to see the proposed Marsh Creek Golf and County Club PUD
approved by the City Council because it would be an outstanding
addition to our city. I have been following the progress of this
development in the newspapers, Planning and Park and Recreation
commission meetings, where I have noted alot of positive enthusiasm
(unanimous approval) about this project. As with any project of
this magnitude there will be concerns that need to be alleviated.
The major concerns that I have noted are as follows:
1. Private/restricted access to March Creek Golf and Country
Club
2. Environmental
3. Lake Riley lakeshore
4. The need for a golf course
Each of these issues have various degrees of importance to
individuals, and I hope the following can eliminate some of those
concerns.
PRIVATE/RESTRICTED ACCESS
This subject has, what I feel are unjust, negative connotations
associated with it; however, I think you need to put this issue in
the context of how the development is designed and the type of
individuals and families that it will attract. Due to the fact
Marsh Creek Golf and Country Club
August 13, 1992
Page 2
that a significant portion of the golf course will be on the
outside of the development, instead of the inside like most
developments, the perimeter fencing is needed to try to control
vandalism of the course. Controlled access and no through streets;
everyone wants to live on a cul-de-sac street, and for all
practical purposes this development is one big cul-de-sac. As
well, no one likes unwanted individuals or solicitors in their
neighborhood, this development tries to control this. If Sienna
Corporation's plans become a reality, individuals and families in
Marsh Creek will be paying a lot of money for these benefits.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
•
It is my understanding that Sienna's plans incorporate "state-of-
the-art" environmental technology; from construction ponds and 3
bail sediment control devices to be used during the construction
process, minimizing tree and wetland loss to NURP ponds and
retaining 60% of the property as open space. Another way to look
at this issue is to discuss the possible alternative for this
property. Currently, it is my understanding that if this property •
is developed according to the Comprehensive Guide Plan,
approximately 1,050 housing units could be developed in this area.
For these reasons I think the Marsh Creek proposal is significantly
more environmentally sound.
LAKE RILEY LAKESHORE:
While attending the Park and Recreation Commission meeting on
August 3, 1992, I did not understand their desire to have Sienna
Corporation give to the City of Eden Prairie the outlots on Lake
Riley. First, I voted for, as the majority of other Eden Prairie
residents did, to improve the Lake Riley access and facilities.
Those plans did not (and should have not) included any acquisition
of theses outlots or their development by the City. Secondly, it
was explained that the City wanted to control access to Lake Riley,
if the current situation at the Lake Riley Park is any indication,
future residents of Marsh Creek and current residents on Lake Riley
will not be happy with those outlots in the city's control. Lake
Riley park is not a family park, it is a teenager play ground.
Thirdly, the lake is out of control, between an excess number of
speed boats, jet skis, millfoil and fertilizer from neighboring
farms. Lake Riley use to be a good and quiet fishing lake, now if
you want to fish this lake you better do so before 8:00 a.m. or you
will be run over. To revive the lake the Marsh Creek Golf and
Country Club needs to be built with the outlots in its control.
Marsh Creek residents would have access to Lake Riley with a •

beautifully landscaped recreation and picnic area (eg. neighborhood
park). This area is also vital to the overall presentation and
continuity of Marsh Creek Golf and Country Club with Lake Riley.
with this proposal the Marsh Creek Homeowners Association will have
a stake in the future of Lake Riley which could mean that more
money could be put into improving the lake's quality, just like the
home owners around Lake Minnetonka have done. I also feel boat
access at Lake Riley needs to be controlled somehow, preferably for
use only by Eden Prairie residents, via permits, etc.
THE NEED FOR A GOLF COURSE:
I have read several articles stating that the Minneapolis/St. Paul
area, and Minnesota in general are in love with golf and that the
area needs more golf courses (which I concur with). Although I may
never play at this Jack Nicklaus designed course (assuming it is
built), I look at it this way, the people playing at Marsh Creek
will not be competing with me to get tee times at the other golf
courses in the area.
I would like to finish this letter with what I consider a similar
experience I have had. My wife and I spent 4 1/2 years in the
suburb of Columbus, Ohio called Dublin, where Jack Nicklaus's
Murifield Village Golf Course and the PGA Memorial Golf Tournament
is played. I witness in Dubl in there is a .. strong sense of
community", and the residents of Murifield Village are just as, if
not more, involved in community events and activities than other
Dublin residents. As such, the future resident's of Marsh Creek
would be an integral part of the community of Eden Prairie. I feel
strongly that Marsh Creek Golf and Country Club could be (when
unanimously approved by the city council) another jewel on a ring
called Eden Prairie.

Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Dear Michael:
Thank you for spending some time with me last week concerning
the planned 400 acre Marsh Creek Golf Club project. After
studying the plans I have additional questions and concerns
that I hope you and the Planning commission can answer.
First, I noticed that Sienna will have a couple outlots with
lakeshore on Lake Riley. Will they ever be allowed to put in
a boat access, have boat slippage or have docks on those
outlots? Why not deed those outlots to the city for
expansion of Riley Lake Park?
I expect Sienna to follow the guidelines set forth by the MN
PCA for Best Management Practices (BMP) for Protecting Water
Quality in Urban Areas. My question is who reviews the plans
and who verifies that they are being properly followed? My
greatest concerns are for sediment runoff into Lake Riley
during construction and for groundwater runoff after
completion.
A great deal of the soil in the project area is Hayden loams,
which is naturally high in phosphorus levels. We need to
prevent that phosphorus from entering into Lake Riley and
further de9rading lake clarity. What diking, barriers, etc.
will be ut1lilized to be sure none of that soil sediment
enters Lake Riley even during heavy rainfall?
Secondly, I do not feel the proposed plan of holding ponds or
wetlands before discharge into Lake Riley will be effective
in preventing large volUlnes of sediment and phosphorus from
enterin9 into Lake Riley during heavy storms. A large storm
will qU1ckly flush out those holding areas and dump not only
phosphorus, but also automobile oils (from roads and
driveways), salt, silt, herbicides and fertilizers from both
the golf course and from lawns into Lake Riley. I feel it
would improve the lake quality if the 60" culvert would
bypass Lake Riley and either be diverted into Riley Creek
or the Minnesota River. I am also concerned about the 21"
culvert emptying directly into Rice Marsh Creek. Rice Marsh
Creek is currently one of the greatest pollution sources to
Lake Riley. This project will be increasing the watershed
area flowing into Rice Marsh Creek.
Another question is how much "manipulation" can the developer
do to the wetlands and creek? Some of the wetlands have
dead and dying trees. How much modification can the
developer and the subsequent homeowners do to the existing
natural conditions?
will the improved Lake Riley Road have a sidewalk or trail?
will that tie into the trail on Pioneer Trail that now only
exists to Dell Road?
Will Lake Riley Road be improved for its entire length to the
Chanhassen border? If so, will the existing homeowners be
assessed for the improvements?
I am disappointed to see the city give up its plans for a
trail along Rice Marsh Creek. I have noticed the Eden
Prairie Trail Corridor on the west end of the project. This
appears to be a very undesirable alternative. This will be
merelr a sidewalk along a ~oorly maintained parking lot of
Lakev1ew Hills Apartments 1n Chanhassen. If this plan does
proceed will the trail then tie into a new trail on the North
end of the proposed project following Rice Marsh Creek up to
Rice Marsh Lake?
I understand a fence will be an integral part of the security
plan for the entire perimeter of the project. Is it possible
to approve a fence so that it has the least visual impact?
I have also noticed that the proposed driving range is in the
middle of one of the best natural hardwood tree stands within
the project. Is it necessary to destroy so many trees? Can
the driving range be moved elsewhere? Must they even have a
driving range? Is the developer responsible for re~lacing
any trees destroyed (anywhere within the project) w1th new
trees?
To summarize, mr greatest concerns are with the lakeshore
outlots the proJect will have, the potential problems with
runoff during the project development and most importantly,
the plans for groundwater runoff at the conclusion of the
project.
Thank you for considering all of these issues.

7600 EXECUTIVE DRIVE .
A. Glenshire
Franzen gave a history of the project and introduced Tom Robertson of Assoc.
Investments.
Hawkins asked about the shape oflot 13, the developer responded that the lot was shaped
this way to meet minimum lot size requirements.
Sandstad asked what the average lot size was; the minimum lot size is 9,500 sq. ft.
Sandstad also asked what the price range of the proposed homes will be; the developer
stated about $100,000.
Norman, Franzen and the developer discussed the desirability of architectural diversity
within the project.
Kardell asked what the price of the average lot within the development would be:
Robertson stated the lots will be priced in the 30's. Norman asked about restrictions on
the size of houses to be built on the lot. Franzen discussed the floor area ratio
1
,,! 11 i·O
restrictions of 9.5 housing. The City can't control the price of houses built directly, but •
can restrict the floor area ratio and thereby have some impact on the price of the homes.
Franzen pointed out that 9.5 housing has been effective in providing entry level housing
($110-120,000 housing).
Bauer asked what the compelling reason was to change to medium density residential
from church. Franzen stated that in the past the site has been too small for building a
church. Since the adjoining area is medium density residential and the Council has
previously stated that 9.5 should be in medium density designation of the Guide Plan,
this site is appropriate for medium density.
Pat McNaulty of 7299 Sunshine asked what the status of the trees behind his lot would
be. Franzen responded that a tree inventory had been done in 1988. The part of the site
being reviewed tonight doesn't have significant trees. The developer had been asked
prior to the meeting to revise the grading plan to save a cluster of trees and the plan has
been revised to reflect this change. Pat McNaulty also commented that his neighborhood
had never been perceived as entry level housing when he moved in. This type of
development was not foreseen. Commissioner Bauer commented that small lots don't
necessarily mean small houses anymore. The commissioners agreed that the 9.5 housing
issue needs to be addressed at a later time.
At Hawkins request, the developer again clarified the positioning of planned sidewalks.
Kardell moved, seconded by Hawkins, to close the public hearing -carried 7-0-0. •

Staff Report
Glenshire 2nd Addition
June 19, 1992
The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates approximately 27 acres of this site as medium density
residential for up to 10 units per acre. A 3.5 acre parcel adjacent to Valley View Road is
guided Church. The surrounding uses in the area are guided open space to the west across
Edenvale Boulevard (City Park); low density residential to the northwest and north of the site
and medium density residential on the eastern side of the site across the railroad tracks.
The Planning Commission in 1988 reviewed a Planned Unit Development proposal for 56 RI-9.5
lots and a neighborhood commercial center at the intersection of Valley View Road and Edenvale
Boulevard. The Planning Commission did not feel that neighborhood commercial was
appropriate in this location and recommended that the proponent revise the plans to change the
proposed commercial development to RI-9.5 housing. Based upon the recommendations of the
Planning Commission, the proponent revised the Planned Unit Development Concept Plan for
56 RI-9.5 lots and left the proposed commercial site as an outlot for future development.
(Attachment A from the 1988 Staff Report represents the retail center as proposed at that time.)
Comprehensive Guide Plan Chan2e
When Comprehensive Guide Plan Changes are reviewed by the City, they are reviewed
according to the number of questions which are shown on Attachment B. In general, the City
makes a decision as to whether or not the change in the guide plan (in this case from Church
to RI-9.5 housing,) would be a better use of the property. Impacts on surrounding uses, on
existing site features, and existing street and utility systems are also evaluated.
The change in the Comprehensive Guide Plan to medium density residential would be consistent
with designation of medium density for a PUD which approved in 1988. Although the guide
plan allows up to 10 units per acre to be built in a medium density guided area, the density
approved for the 1988 pun is 3.2 units per acre. The density as proposed for this 6.1 acre
amendment PUD is 3.1 units per acre.
One of the policies of the City is that when the density of the single family development exceeds
2.5 units per acre, the appropriate guide plan designation should be medium density. Recent
subdivisions approved by this Planning Commission with a density at about 3 units per acre are
the Fairfield and the Wynfield, both are guided medium density .

Staff Report
Glenshire 2nd Addition
June 19, 1992
Planned Unit Development
The Planned Unit Development District Review allows the City to review and grant waivers
from zoning requirements. The proponent is requesting variances within the RI-9.5 Zoning
District for lot width less than 90 feet for a comer lot, lot width less than 70 feet for an interior
lot and lot depth adjacent to a railroad less than 150 feet. The comer lot Lot 4, Block 1 waiver
less than 90 feet is on an irregular shaped lot, and the lot width at the building setback is 90 feet
which would allow for a 75 foot wide. house to be built within the setbacks. Lot widths waivers
are due to double frontage lots (lots 13, 14, Block 2). These lots meet the street frontage for
the front yards. For the lot depths adjacent to the Hennepin County Light Rail Authority, Oots
1-4, Block 2), the original PUD granted lot depth waivers based upon soil conditions, provision
of a landscape buffer, and the lots sit at a lower grade. For the new lots within the PUD, the
same conditions exist, and the proponent will build the landscape buffer plan as shown in the
attached drawings.
Preliminary Plat
•
The preliminary plat depicts the subdivision of 6.1 acres into 19 RI-9.5 lots at a density of 3.1 •
units per acre. All of the lots meet the minimum requirements of the RI-9.5 zoning district with
the exception of the lots described in the PUD section requiring waivers.
Rl-9.S Zonin~
The density of the proposed RI-9.5 zoning is 3.1 units per acre. The maximum density allowed
within the zoning district is 3.5 units per acre. The City has required for all RI-9.5 districts an
architectural diversity plan keying unit types to lots such that no two units are alike, side-by-
side, diagonally, or across from each other. The developer .has submitted an architectural
diversity plan for the original PUD which will be used for this 6.1 acre addition. See additional
comments on RI-9.5 zoning "The History of RI-9.5 Zonjng in Eden Prairie." (Attachment C)
Access
Access to this subdivision will be primarily from Starlight Lane which intersects Edenvale
Boulevard opposite the entrance into the City Park. The temporary tum-around along Moonlight
Lane would be eliminated and the cul-de-sac would be extended further into the subdivision.
The length of the proposed cul-de-sac is 450 feet. The City Code has a maximum of a 500 foot
length cul-de-sac.

Gradinl:
Most of the site is relatively level and minimal grading will be required. There are no
significant trees located on the property, however, there is a large mass of understory vegetation
mostly Aspen trees. The grading plan as proposed shows on the rear lots 1, 2, 3, and 4 a
portion of the natural vegetation which can be saved. No tree replacement is required for this
subdivision since there are no trees greater than 12 inches in diameter.
Utilities
Sewer and water service is available to this site. A portion of a watermain on this site is
proposed to be relocated. This existing easement is required to be vacated by the City Council
at final plat. This requires a Public Hearing.
Conclusion
The proposed RI-9.5 zoning is appropriate within a medium density designation of the
guideplan. The reguiding of the property from Church to medium density would be appropriate
in this location and consistent with the adjoining PUD. The proponent has provided an
architectural diversity plan, landscaping, and buffer plan for areas along the railroad. The
waivers requested through the PUD have merit.
Staff Recommendations
If the Planning Commission feels that compelling reasons have been provided to substantiate a
change in the guideplan from Church to medium density residential, then one option would be
to approve the Planned Unit Development with waivers, Zoning District Change to RI-9.5 and
Preliminary Plat of 6.1 acres into 19 single family lots based on plans dated June 19, 1992
subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report dated June 19, 1992 and subject to the
following conditions:
1. Prior to final plat approval, the proponent shall submit for review and approval:
A.
B.
C .
A detailed storm water runoff of utility and erosion control for review by
the City Engineer.
A detailed storm water runoff and erosion control plan for review of the
Watershed District.
Vacation of the existing drainage utility easement.

Eden Prairie Mayor and Council Members,
In regards to soil erosion in Eden Prairie, approximately
one year ago I was heard by the Mayor and the City Council
regarding this issue. At that time, it was stated that Engineering
would look into this problem. However, as of this writing,
nothing has been done to rectify the eroding of soils.
I strongly feel that a new Ordinance should be created
and put into effect. Also, everyone puts Jeff Johnson in a
bad situation by expecting him to follow their instructions
without erosion control laws.
Priority of Problems:
1. All disturbed areas should be seeded within one week
of disturbance with a temporary seed (a) rye grain, or (b) rye
grass.
2. Silt fence needs to be installed in accordance with
the following specifications and Minnesota State specifications:
A. A trench shall be excavated 6" horizontally and
6" latterally. Fabric will be extended into this
trench with 2' above the ground.
B. Stakes will be placed 4' apart.
C. Fabric secured to the stakes with lath and nails.
D~ Trench will be covered with the excavated soil
and compacted.
3. Water drainage through soil is inadequate in that when
land is re-molded, water still takes its natural course.
Therefore, even though a design for run-off applications has
been done, water may still need to take a natural course to
run off.
Thank you for your time in considering my concerns.
Sincerely,
~------.-.------

INTRODUCTION
The South Hennepin Regional Planning Agency for Human Services (SHeRPA) is a joint
powers organization serving the communities of Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina and
Richfield. Our mission is to assist these communities in identifying and meeting their human
service needs through research, planning and coordination. The South Hennepin Regiona)
Planning Agency is the new name of the former South Hennepin Human Services Council,
which was reorganized in 1991. The purpose of the reorganization was to strengthen the
agency's functions of research, planning and coordination and move away from providing direct
services.
The present proposal is the first work plan of the newly formed SHeRPA. Its goal is to provide
the four cities with baseline information with which decision-makers can determine human
service priorities and future research and planning needs. This goal was determined by the City
Managers (board of directors) and SHeRPA's Advisory Commission in January of this year at an
annual planning meeting. To meet this goal, two primary research projects were identified as
planning priorities for 1992. The first is a study of the impact of demographic, social and
economic trends on human service needs in the region. The second is a study of trends in the
provision of human services in the South Hennepin region.
•
The City Managers and members of the Advisory Commission also identified a number of other •
significant issues to be addressed by SHeRPA. In order of importance, additional priorities
included the following: 1) increase awareness of and accessibility to available services; 2)
identify issues of diversity and programs to respond to diversity; 3) develop prevention
programs; 4) promote community support systems and a sense of community responsibility; and
5) implement programs for low income individuals and families. These issues will be carried
forward for consideration as priorities in next year's work plan.
The work plan also proposes the establishment of a Child Care Research Group to review the
trend data as they relate to child care needs in the South Hennepin region, and to make
recommendations for further research and planning.
In addition to the project-based priorities identified above, SHeRPA has ongoing activities.
These include the Community Services Priorities (CSSA) report for Hennepin County, the
annual planning process which determines the research and planning priorities of SHeRPA, the
South Hennepin Mental Health Advisory Committee, and the coordination of the Hennepin
County Emergency Services program in South Hennepin.
The present proposal is submitted as a 1992 and 1993 work plan. It outlines activities for the
first half of 1993 and thus will need to be amended in 1993 as new priorities are recommended.
SHeRPA may also contract with any of the four cities for additional research and planning
projects. These projects may arise at anytime throughout the year and would be financed with •
supplemental funds by the city (or cities) contracting for the service.

OUTLINE OF RESEARCH PROJECTS
Research And Planning Goal For 1992 & 1993:
To obtain baseline infonnation which will help city decision-makers determine human service
priorities and future research and planning needs.
Research Project I
Study Of Demographic, Economic And Social Trends
Completion date: May, 1993
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of demographic, economic and social trends
on human service needs in South Hennepin. The study will serve as a comprehensive reference
document for infonnation users, as a tool to develop human service policy goals, and as a means
to detennine where to focus future planning efforts.
Data and Methodology:
The information collected for this study will include demographic, housing, economic, health,
education,crime, and social service program data. The U.S. Bureau of Census will provide the
base data for the study. Additional infonnation will be gathered from secondary sources
including governmental and planning organizations, school districts, research reports and social
service providers. The methodology of analysis will consist of two steps.
The first step will be to document demographic, economic and social trends in the region. The
following trend areas will be analyzed:
• population
• age composition
• racial and ethnic composition
• employment
• immigration
• income and poverty
• housing mix and affordability
• household and family size, structure and composition
• education levels
• commuting patterns
• persons with disabilities
• public assistance
• domestic violence
• public safety issues
• teenage pregnancy
• mental and chemical health
5
These trends will be analyzed statistically and geographically. The statistical analysis will
provide a numerical description of the data and employ simple measurements of frequency,
mean and median, percentage change, and cross tabulation. The analysis will identify changes in
the above list of variables over time, the relationships among the variables and the changes in
these relationships over time. What these trends might look like over the next 10 to 20 years
will also be assessed.
Once the trends are identified statistically, their spatial distribution will be displayed and
analyzed with the aid of mapping software. Various maps will be constructed and overlaid to
assess different trends occurring simultaneously.
The second step will be to estimate the human service needs impacted by these trends. This
section will evolve around three questions: 1) What need areas are impacted by changes in the
demographic, economic and social makeup in the region? 2) What changes will occur in the
level and nature of the impacted needs? 3) What shifts in the demand for services and programs
will occur as a result of these changes?
The need areas that will be assessed include education and training, employment, transportation,
economic assistance for basic needs, physical disabilities, services for seniors, services and
programs for youth and families, low-and moderate-income housing; early childhood care and
education, school-aged child care, public safety, and mental and chemical health services.
•
Geographic Unit Of Analysis: The geographic unit of analysis will be the municipality. •
Depending on their availability, data will be assessed at the block, census tract or city level for
each municipality.
Research Product: The findings of the study will be specific to each city in South Hennepin.
Five reports will be prepared, one of each city and a summary of the region.

Research Project II
Study Of Trends In The Delivery & Provision Of Human Services
Completion date: May, 1993
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is twofold: firstly, to assess the resources available to meet human
service needs in the South Hennepin region; and secondly, to identify trends in the use of and
demand for human services. More specifically, this study will attempt to identify and assess the
following:
• the existing agencies that provide human services to the residents of South Hennepin;
• the level and nature of services available in the region;
• the availability of services with respect to affordability, physical accessibility and
hours of service;
• changes in the use of and demand for the various human services over time;
• changes in client profiles (age, race, income, sex, etc.);
• changes in programming in response to changes in demand for new services;
• changes in funding sources and levels among providing organizations as a means to gain an
understanding of stability of services and how their provision is being determined;
• where general service gaps exist (this can be done when combining the results of the survey
with the need areas identified in project I);
• the working relationships among the various providing organizations as a means to better
understand how and among whom cooperative and collaborative efforts can be coordinated;
• public policies that have significantly influenced the delivery and provision of human services
in the past 10 years.
Data and Methodology:
The primary method used to collect the above information will be a survey among human
service providers. The survey will be complemented with secondary sources of information,
including service directories, United Way, policy documents, and related research. The survey
will be administered to the majority of providers in the South Hennepin region and a random
7
selection of providers in the surrounding communities. The survey instrument and approach will
be customized for the different types of providers.
For the purposes of this study, a provider is any organization that delivers a service or contracts
for a service to be delivered. Therefore the list of potential organizations to be surveyed
includes non-and for-profit human service agencies, religious institutions, schools,
municipalities and other governmental organizations (Le., Hennepin County). Computer
statistics, graphics and mapping programs will be used to analyze the data. Matched with data
resulting from the study of demographic and economic trends, the relationship between the
location of services and where people live who need those services can be assessed.
Geographic Unit Of Analysis: The geographic unit of analysis will be the South Hennepin
region. Service resources located outside of the South Hennepin region, but offering services
to its residents, will also be identified and assessed.
Research Product: This study will result in one report for the region and include a map of the
distribution of services in the area.
Summary of Research Projects
•
The two proposed studies will identify the important demographic, economic and social trends in
the region; the human service needs impacted by these trends; and the resources available to
meet human service needs. . The studies will provide a statistical and geographical profile of •
these trends and resources, which will serve as a reference document for a diverse set of
information users in the region. The studies will also help public policy makers to identify where
monetary resources should be targeted and policy efforts focused for human services in South
Hennepin.

PROPOSAL FOR A CHILD CARE STUDY GROUP
The issue of child care in South Hennepin has been evolving for a number of years,
particularly early childhood care and education. Studies by the Greater Minneapolis Day Care
Association and qualitative data demonstrate that there is a gap in the availability of
affordable and quality child care, especially for low-income families. In 1991, through a
series of nine focus groups exploring issues of work and poverty, participants indicated that
the cost of child care was one of the most serious barriers to finding and maintaining an
adequately paying job or job training. High costs make quality child care inaccessible for
low-and moderate-income families. On average, full-day child care costs $4000 per child per
year. For low-and moderate-income families the cost of child care is prohibitive. For this
reason, affordable child care is a primary concern for single-parent families, who represented
18% of all households with children in South Hennepin in 1990.
Despite the apparent need for affordable child care services, much is not known about the
"specifics". We do know that most parents prefer to leave their child with a relative when
they return to work, but only about half of working parents are able to utilize this
arrangement. We do not know how many families need what type of care, for what age
groups of children, during what hours, etc. For this reason, the adequate establishment of
policy alternatives and the resulting development of child care programs are difficult.
The proposed demographic and economic trends study can provide a baseline of information
on child care needs. More specific needs, however, can only be assessed though a survey of
families in need of child care. The priorities for the 1992-1993 work plan proposal are to
provide baseline information from which future research and planning efforts can be
formulated. Specific research on a targeted need, such as child care, will not be conducted.
A Child Care Study Group:
Throughout the transitional period of 1990-1991, the South Hennepin Regional Planning
Agency was a participant in the Suburban Hennepin Head Start Access Task Force and local
efforts which explored collaborative partnerships to meet early childhood education and care
needs. The purpose of a child care study group will be to maintain a research focus of the
issue of child care. It will have the following responsibilities:
• review and respond to studies produced by SHeRPA as they relate to child care;
• determine the types of future studies that need to be undertaken to better identify the
specific child care needs in South Hennepin; and
• explore strategies to address child care needs once information is available to act on.
Composition and staffing: The study group would consist of approximately 12 people,
selected from the Citizen Advisory Commission, the schools, business, consumers, providers,
and the religious community. The study group would be chaired by a representative from the
Advisory Commission. SHeRPA staff would be responsible for attending meetings and
presenting information as it becomes available through the proposed research.

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROGRAM
COMMUNITY SOCIAL SERVICES ACT (CSSA)
Citizen participation is an important contribution to the work of South Hennepin Regional
Planning Agency. Through forums, focus groups, round table discussions and other means,
the Agency seeks to gain input on human seIVice issues. Citizens also play a direct
participatory role in planning and coordinating human seIVices. The Regional Citizens'
Advisory Commission of SHeRPA selVes as a representative body of citizens in the South
Hennepin region. This group acts as a key link to people with human seIVice needs in the
region.
Each year, through the efforts of the Advisory Commission, the South Hennepin Regional
Planning Agency gains input from users, providers and other concerned citizens, on needs
ranging from mental and chemical health to domestic abuse. Diagram 2 illustrates the
citizen participation process used to determine citizens' priorities with respect to community
-seIVice needs in South Hennepin. The Advisory Commission synthesizes the various input
gathered through the focus groups, forums, sUIVeys and other forms, and prepares a set of
•
priority community seIVice needs in the region. •
Based on this information, a report titled "Community SeIVice Priorities" is prepared and
presented to Hennepin County Community SeIVices Division staff in March and, when
appropriate, to Hennepin County Commissioners in October. Hennepin County policy
makers and staff use the information to prioritize the appropriation of community seIVice
dollars.
The following citizen participation process is proposed for 1992 and 1993:
I. Designate liaisons from the Advisory Commission to act as links to the human
seIVice target populations as defined by Hennepin County.
II. Establish a citizen participation review committee from the Advisory Commission.
III. Plan, coordinate and conduct citizen input activities.
IV. Synthesize and prioritize the citizens' input. This is undertaken by the citizen
participation review committee.
V. Prepare 1994 Community SeIVices Priorities report based on citizen's input.
VI. Present report to Hennepin County Community SeIVices staff in March, 1993. •

SOUTH HENNEPIN
EMERGENCY SERVICES PROGRAM
Hennepin County Community Services contracts with the South Hennepin Regional Planning
Agency to coordinate an emergency services program in the region. Hennepin County funds
the administration of the program and provides the direct service dollars. SHeRPA serves as
the fiscal agent and overall coordinator of the program. We provide over $57,000 in direct
service dollars to four emergency services providers in the region. These providers are
Volunteers Enlisted to Assist People (VEAP) and Cornerstone Advocacy Services (CAS) in
Bloomington; People Reaching Out to People (PROP) in Eden Prairie; and Colonial Church
in Edina. The police departments of the four cities provide service in the case of an
emergency after 5:00 p.m. and on the weekends. SHeRPA is responsible for the following
activities:
• administer funds and paper work;
• coordinate in-service meetings;
• maintain records and client data; and
• prepare quarterly and annual reports.
The program assists approximately 1000 individuals and families a year. There is, however,
always a greater demand for financial assistance than there is money and many people are
turned away from the program. The program is a very effective means to monitor the basic
needs of people in the South Hennepin Region.

Eden Prairie City Council
7600 Executive Drive
Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Dear Mayor and Council members:
This letter is on behalf of the Eden Prairie Historical and Cultural Commission to express their
support and request additional funding for a planned storage facility at Staring Lake Park.
Plans for a storage facility were begun more than a year ago with $17,000 allocated by the City
for its construction. During the planning process, a multipurpose approach developed that would
locate the building overlapping the Staring Lake Park Amphitheatre stage providing an acoustical
backdrop for performances, as well as additional storage for the City sound system, chairs, etc.
Plans were developed and the revised design would require $30,000 to complete.
The Amphitheatre attracts larger resident audiences to the summer Concert Series each year.
Our local production of "Li'l Abner" in June of this year attracted more than 2,000 attendees
in just 4 performances. It is not unusual to have 300-400 attendees at each of the 3 weekly
concerts. Expanding our ability to store equipment on site, provide a backdrop for improved
sound and increase stage usage flexibility, will allow us to continue to enhance future production
offerings to City residents.
We recommend that this building be funded and completed as it appears in the final plan. We
further request that funding previously allocated for a trail along the abandoned railway be
transferred to this project.
We appreciate your continued support of our efforts related to historical and cultural initiatives
in our community. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Deb Campbell Potter, Chairperson
Eden Prairie Historical & Cultural Commission

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: August 14, 1992
SUBJECT: A ward Bid for Community Center Entry Project
Earlier this year the City Council authorized a budget of 2.3 million dollars to complete
construction of the second ice rink at the Community Center, add offices for the Community
Center Manager and the Aquatics Supervisor, and renovate the entry to the Community Center
and improve access from Valley View Road to provide a safer pedestrian access from the
parking lot to the community Center front door.
The project budget status to date is as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Community Center -$2,044,942.53 (including Change Orders #1 and 2)
Architect/Engineering Fees -$125,000
Soil Test and Inspections -$11,000
Sound System -$10,000
Site Survey -$3,800
Architect/Engineering Fees for the Plaza and Entry -$19,500
Contingencies -$50,000
High School Locker Room -minus $166,348
Community Center Entry/Plaza Construction Funds -$202,056
Attached to this memorandum is the bid summary for the Community Center Plaza and parking
lot. Shingobee Construction, the same contractor constructing the ice rink addition, is the low
bidder at $284,800 for the entire project. Shingobee is also the low bidder taking any or all of
the deduct alternates.
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommend the City Council award this contract to Shingobee Construction with a
base bid of $284,800; accepting Alternate No.2 deleting flagpoles, Alternate No.3 deleting the
bike rack, Alternate 4 deleting the benches; Alternate 5 deleting the sidewalk; Alternate 7
deleting the seal coating; and Alternate 8 deleting the parking lot islands. This would provide
a bid of $235,144, and it would include Shingobee completing the demolition proposed in
Alternate No.1 and would include keeping the brick pavers for the entire plaza in lieu of concrete.
Award Bid for Community Center Entry Project
August 14, 1992
Page 2
ALTERNATE NO.2 -Flagpoles:
City staff would recommend replacing the flagpoles at some future time through an alternative
funding source, perhaps donations.
ALTERNATE NO.3 -Bike Racks:
Portable bike racks could be placed in the bike rack location until the City is able to fund
installation of permanent bike racks in this location.
ALTERNATE NO.4 -Benches:
The architect had recommended an expanded metal bench surrounding each of the trees within
the plaza. This bench would serve to protect the trees similar to a metal grate, but would also
provide shaded seating in the plaza area. These colored metal benches would be coordinated
with the colors of trash receptacles and would provide an attractive seating area in front of the
building. These benches can be added in the future.
ALTERNATE NO.5 -Sidewalk:
The short section of sidewalk in front of the expanded parking lot northeast of the plaza can be
constructed by City crews in 1993 at a cost significantly lower that the $4/square foot bid with
this project.
ALTERNATE NO.7 -Seal Coat:
City staff would intend to include the Community Center parking lot in the 1993 seal coating
projects. All patching, seal coating and restriping would be done during the summer of 1992
under the City's overall seal coating contract.
ALTERNATE NO.8 -Removal of Parking Lot Island and Relocating Parking Lot Light
Fixtures:
City staff would propose to remove the central parking lot island in October of 1992 and partial
removal of the eastern most island and simply painting a yellow line marker this fall to denote
realigned parking. During the summer of 1993 the parking lot lights could be relocated under
a separate contract prior to the seal coating, final patching and restriping of the entire parking
lot. The cost to relocate the lights could be charged to the cash park fee fund, and as previously
stated, the seal coating and restriping would added to the normal seal coating budget for 1993.
•
•
By accepting this bid of $235,144, the project only has approximately $17,000 for any future •
change orders, which is extremely "thin" on a project of this scale.
•

•
Award Bid for Community Center Entry Project
August 14, 1992
Page 3
City staff strongly believe that the improvements proposed to the parking lot and building entry
will go a long way toward improving the safety of the access at Valley View Road, as well as
the safety of the pedestrians within the parking lot, and the aesthetics of the building entry.
Although this project has expanded beyond what was originally anticipated for "entry
improvements", the realignment of the entire parking lot and the additional parking lot to the
northeast of the plaza has added 68 parking places and made much more efficient use of the
existing parking lot. The Council may wish to consider charging some of the cost of the
Community Center entry and parking lot improvements to the cash park fee fund, rather than
all of that to the ice rink addition budget.
