SUBJECT: status of Recycling Efforts
DATE: August 28, 1992
Hennepin County requires municipalities to meet several criteria in
order to qualify for funding assistance for solid waste abatement
acti vi ties, and to remove the threat of County intervention to
collect recyclables and bill the City for services. Eden Prairie's
system meets these criteria, including:
* Collection of newsprint, metal cans, glass, certain
plastics, and corrugated cardboard
* Collection of yard waste which must have been separated from
other refuse
* Collection of recyclables on at least a bi-weekly frequency
(the City requires weekly collection on the same day as
other refuse)
* Collection of recyclables from all residential units
* Achieving at least 18% reduction of residential waste stream
through recovery of recyclables (not counting yard waste)
Eden Prairie requires all licensed haulers collecting from
residences to make sure that separate collection of recyclables and
yard waste is provided. They are responsible for finding users of
these commodities. Haulers must also provide their customers with
recycling containers approved by the City.
Eden Prairie also contracts with Goodwill/Easter Seal to operate an
attended drop-off center. It is open every day from 9 am - 5 pm
and accepts the standard array of residential recyclables as well
as office-grade paper and used clothing and household items. The
center is located in the east end of the Menards parking lot. A
newspaper-only drop-off container is available on the west side of
the Senior Center.
With these arrangements, Eden Prairie has the lowest per-capita and
per-ton public costs of any recycling system in Hennepin County .

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,
Donald Atkins

I. CALL TO ORDER
••
•
Mayor Tenpas called the meeting to order at 6:25 p.m. Gartner, Jackson, and Ramakrishnan were
absent.
RESPONSE TO COUNCIL REQUEST TO REVIEW STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS
AND SERVICES COMMISSION
In response to the discussion with the Council at the joint meeting held July 7, 1992, the Commission
had prepared a plan to restructure the Commission around its two main responsibilities of Human Rights
and Human Services. The plan would bring more people into the Commission process, allow the City
to deal more effectively with two growing areas of need, provide a pool of experienced people from
which to draw for future Commission openings, provide greater visibility of the Commission's activities
in the City, and still maintain identity of the Commission as it was originally conceived.
The plan provided for support of two permanent committees, one on Human Rights and one on Human
Services, with four additional citizens to be appointed to each as "committee members." Both
committees would meet monthly and consist of four committee members and four Commission
members, each, focusing on either Human Rights or Human Services.
The only negative feature of the plan was that the Commissioners would be meeting twice as often as
currently; however, the sense of the Commissioners was that they would be able to accomplish much
more in this format. -
Council members concurred that the proposed plan was a good response to their concerns, and that it
could be implemented immediately, without amendment to the City Code. Upon further discussion, it
was determined that a special appointment process would be set up for the committee members instead
of waiting until March to fill the positions.
I 'lOt
Joint Meeting of City Council and
Human Rights & Services Commission 2 August 18, 199.
Council members suggested a test period of two years for the proposed plan, with a review to take place
within one year. The Council would be looking to the results of this plan for implementation by other
commissions with similar dual responsibilities, such as Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources and
the Historical and Cultural Commissions. Council directed Staff to work with the Commissioners on
implementation of an appointment process for the committee members with appointments to take place
in October, 1992.
Mayor Tenpas adjourned the meeting at 6:50 p.m.

This item was continued from August 4th to allow time for the Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission to hold a Public Meeting regarding the "big woods" on August 17th. Lambert
reported that, at its meeting following the tour, the Commission voted to recommend denial of the
Fairfield project and further recommended the City purchase all the property owned by Tandem
Corporation through private funding sources by May 15, 1993.
Jiin Ostenson, Tandem Properties, owner of the property, presented a revised plan eliminating the
seven lots west of Candlewood Parkway, thereby limiting construction to the open area and to the
least desirable portion of the "big woods" consisting of about three acres.
Ostenson said Tandem and Centex, the developer, were willing to proceed with this revised
development, only, for now. Tandem would then withhold the rest of their property from
development for a period of time to allow an opportunity to explore options to purchase the balance
of the property. He explained that Tandem did not own all of the "big woods" and showed the
location of the other parcels, noting the owners involved. He added that the Tandem land was valued
between $2.4 million to $3.5 million, in addition to which there were substantial special assessments
existing on the property that would also need to be paid.
Art Weeks, Chair of Heritage Preservation Commission, reported that the Commission had
participated in the tour and concluded there was probable cause to designate this land, or a portion
of it, as a heritage preservation site. He explained the process necessary through the State Historical
Preservation Office, noting that tree cutting could be precluded in designated areas; however, it would
not preclude development altogether. Weeks was unsure whether such a designation would be
considered a "taking" as was determined in a recently decided court case based on a similarly
designated parcel of land.
Council members raised questions regarding availability of funding sources; whether other such sites
existed in Eden Prairie; how many sites existed in the State of Minnesota; the amount of tree loss
from the revised plan; and timing issues involving the requested Environmental Assessment Worksheet
(EAW).
Lambert said that, for fifteen years, he had been monitoring grants and donations hoping to purchase
the "big woods." He said the major difficulty had been that the site was not considered to be of
regional significance; therefore, funding was limited or non-existent. He added that, while other sites
existed in the City, none were of this size.
Lambert explained that Kurt Rusterholtz, the Forest Ecologist who accompanied the group on the tour
of the woods, had told the group there were originally about 3,400 square miles of "big woods" in
Minnesota, but currently there were about 3,400 acres remaining. Most of the stands of "big woods, "
ranging from 10 to 600 acres, were in protected ownership of the State, County, or other park
system.
Ostenson explained that the amount of tree loss exclusive of public streets would be reduced
approximately 3-4% with the revised proposal, leaving an additional 3.5 acres of the woods
undeveloped .
Pauly explained the timing factors involved with the requested EA W, and acknowledged that State
Statute allowed the City only 120 days from the date of application in which to act on the preliminary
. plat before it would be automatically approved. Ostenson said the area had already been extensively

City Council Meeting 4 August 18, 1992
reviewed through a variety of processes, including the Environmental Impact Statement prepared fO.
the upgrading of Highway No. 212 by the Minnesota Department of Transportation; therefore, h
expected that there may be no finding of a need for an EA W.
Diane Lynch and Claire Hilgeman, members of the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission, discussed the findings of the tour held the previous night. They related the facts given
by Rusterholtz, and explained plans to raise money to purchase the woods by implementation of a
grass roots fund raising campaign.
Councilmembers asked questions about the experience of the Commission with fund raising and how
this particular parcel of land ranked amongst all other natural resources in the community, such as
the Minnesota River Valley.
Lynch responded that she was unaware of anyone on the Commission with such fund raising
experience but believed the simplicity of raising $42 per person on a one time basis would work. She
added that the Commission had not prioritized this natural resource amongst others like the Minnesota
River Valley, but she believed it was because the majority of people were unaware of its existence.
Lynch emphasized that the request of the Council at this point was for more time to see if raising
funds privately was feasible.
Jackie McMillan, 7924 Island Road, President of the homeowners' association in this area, said she
had faxed a petition with 75 signatures to the Environmental Quality Board requesting an EA W be

Wersal, 12645 Sunnybrook Road, and George Grantier, 6266 Rainbow Drive, spoke to preservation
of this natural resource and asked for time to explore options to fund the purchase of the property.
MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the public hearing. Motion carried
unanimously.
Council members discussed several concerns, including: preservation of the natural resource; difficulty
of funding such a purchase from City funds at a time when budgets were becoming tighter and
resources less available; fair treatment of the developer and the property owner; possibilities of
forming partnerships with the private sector to preserve the woods; provision of an adequate street
connection for the existing neighborhoods with extension of Candlewood Parkway to the north; and
consideration of a zoning district with larger lot sizes for greater protection of the woods.
Councilmembers concurred that the funding was not available from the City's budget, nor would it
be in the future. They agreed that, if an additional $3 - 4 million was available, it would likely be
designated toward human service needs such as housing and other needed services, rather than
parkland purchases.
MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Jessen, to: • 1) Adopt 1st reading of Ordinance No. 29-92 for rezoning;
2) Adopt Resolution No. 92-167, approving the preliminary plat; and

MARSH CREEK GOLF COURSE by Sienna Corporation. Request for Comprehensive Guide Plan
Change from Public Open Space to Low Density Residential on 60 acres, and to relocate Dell Road
and Scenic Heights Road; and Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Review on 419 acres.
Location: East of Riley Lake, north of Pioneer Trail. (Resolution No. 92-174 -Comprehensive
Guide Plan Change; and Resolution No. 92-175 -PUD Concept Review)
Rick Packer, Sienna Corporation, explained the development request for a professionally-designed golf
course and a swim and tennis club, combined with 250-350 upper-bracket, single-family houses.
Packer stated that private streets were proposed and would be constructed to City standards, with
emergency access points in several locations. He said the streets were proposed without sidewalks
as a preferred condition in this type of neighborhood based on previous experience. Packer related
that he had no control over dedication of the three outlots at the lake as their purchase agreement with
the owner prohibited such dedication.
Enger reported that the Planning Commission considered this proposal at three meetings, with a
unanimous recommendation to approve the proposal with several conditions on July 27th. He
explained that, since this was a PUD Concept, only, the detailed plans would be reviewed at a later
date, including an EA W, preliminary plat, preservation plans for wetlands and woodlands, and final
road alignments. He pointed out that the sidewalks were recommended for safety of pedestrians,
particularly, school children.
-
Lambert reported that the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission considered the proposal
at two meetings and unanimously recommended approval of the project with conditions on August 3,
1992. He noted that the Commission felt sidewalks were not necessary as long as the streets were
private; however, it was recommended that the developer's agreement include a condition that the
sidewalks must be constructed prior to the City ever accepting the streets for public maintenance. The
Commission also discussed the relocation of the trail as proposed by the developer, and agreed that
dedication of the outlots along Riley Lake would be a suitable "trade" for moving the trail out of the
creek bed, which was a more desirable location for the trail.
111 Y
City Council Meeting 6 August 18, 1992
Councilmembers asked questions regarding why the property owner was reluctant to dedicate tl)A
outlots and whether there was any room for negotiation on the matter and regarding trail access. f~
the residents of the development and for the public through the property.
Paul Anderson, attorney for Elaine Jacques, owner of the outlots, expressed her concerns rel~ding
a desire for a buffer from the noise of a park and for provision of a permanent access for her family
to Riley Lake in the future. Anderson suggested that it may be possible to negotiate with her further.
Packer stated that the public trails within the development would, of course, be available at all times
for public use; however, if the public wished to use the private trail connections of the development
which were designed to connect the residents within the development to the public trails, they would
be asked to check in at the main gate.
Wally Anderson, 9014 Riley Lake Road, stated he was generally in favor of the project, but
concerned about the activities at Riley Lake, including drinking, loud music, foul language, and
disregard for parking regulations, which interfered with the normal neighborhood traffic. He believed
it would not be in the best interest of the neighborhood to add land to the park given the present
activities.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson, to extend the meeting to 11:30 p.m. Motion carried
unanimously. • John Bushey, 9000 Riley Lake Road, expressed concern about private roads, location of the trail for
safety purposes, water quality, and adequate erosion control, and he agreed with Anderson regarding
problems in Riley Lake Park.
MOTION: Jessen moved, seconded by Harris, to close the public hearing. Motion carried
unanimously.
Council members discussed several considerations for the PUD, directing as follows: further
negotiations should be attempted with Mrs. Jacques regarding the outlots; the trail location should
be safe and in the best location for use of the residents; public trails within the development should
be accessible to the public at all times; the wetlands, including special vegetation like the cranberry
bog, should be preserved; the school district should review and comment on the street patterns,
particularly the size of the proposed cul-de-sacs for bus maneuvering; and, the private streets may
be constructed without sidewalks at this time, but, a condition should be included in the
developer's agreement requiring that the sidewalks will be constructed prior to acceptance of any
street for public maintenance by the City. "
MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 92-174 for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change;
2) Adopt Resolution No. 92-175 for Approval of the pun Concept Review; and •
3) Direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff

Brian Cluts of Cluts O'Brien Strother Architects, presented several drawings to explain
general space planning and site reconfigurations. He identified users and their locations
in the building, including the space requirements due to the understanding with C. H.
Robinson. Other matter included alternates for entries, site revisions, and ADA

its space.
Jullie mentioned that the Minnesota Department of Corrections had raised some issues
regarding the relocation of the holding cells from the Police Station to the CPT building.
He related that meetings were scheduled with Norwest Bank for modifications in the
price of the property .

ll. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT UTILITY STUDy
Gray presented an overview of the philosophy and components of a surface water
management utility. The goal of City initiatives in this area would be to maintain and
improve water quality. Staff has been working with the engineers of the watershed
districts in the City to identify better the responsibilities of the agencies. He presented
a revised schedule for formal consideration of the utility: on November 17, 1992, the
Council could set December 15, 1992 as the date for a public hearing regarding
establishment of the utility.
Jessen asked if having such a system would provide the State a mechanism to delegate
its mandate to administer NPDES permits. (He reminded staff that the City will need
to submit its NPDES permit by October 1, 1992.) Harris observed that the state and
federal government were talking more and more about pushing implementation
responsibilities down to the local level.
Council members concurred with the schedule proposed by staff.
Jullie said that utility bills would be expanded to include a line not only for the surface
water management utility, but also for a recycling utility. Dawson related that changes
in Hennepin County funding policy had the effect of making possible an estimated
$18/yr. rebate to single-family through eight-plex residential properties for recycling and
yard waste activities.
ID. PRELIl\flNARY 1993 CITY BUDGET
Jullie gave a lengthy summary of the highlights of the proposed budget and property tax
levy for 1993. The proposed net levy was approximately $12.8 million, or a 5.5 percent
increase above the net levy adopted for 1992 in order to accommodate population growth
and inflation. Sinell assisted in explaining the reasons for and effects of the decline in
taxable value for 1993.
Councilmembers requested staff to study additional arrangements for legal services.
They indicated that some deferral of capital purchases and major studies could be
delayed. They also agreed that the reservation of fund balance for city hall acquisition
should be revisited, and noted that the City may be in a better long-term position by
taking advantage of low financing costs available at this time.
Council members also identified several items which interested them individually and
requested that staff follow up. '.'-
Dawson reminded the Council that it needed to adopt a maximum tax levy and proposed
budget by September 15. Council members decided not to have any additional meetings
for this phase of the budget process until their regularly-scheduled meeting on September
15.
IV. ADJOURNMENT

MEMO TO: Eden Prairie Mayor and City Council
,ROM: George Bentley ~~
THROUGH: Diane Harberts, Administrator
7600 Executive Drive
Eden Prairie, MN 55344
(612)934-7928
Fax (612) 937-7411
SUBJECT: Proposed new transit service and tax impacts
On September 8, 1992 the Southwest Metro Transit Commission
(SMTC) plans to begin new midday transit service between Eden
Prairie Center and Southdale, and on September 21, 1992 plans
to begin midday transit service between Eden Prairie Center
and the Mall of America.
These new transit services are intended to enhance commuting
opportunities for residents within the SMTC area, to provide
greatly improved incommute opportunities to job seekers from
outside the area for Eden Prairie businesses, to provide
regular connections to the metropolitan transit system
through transit hubs at Southdale and the Mall of America,
and to meet expressed demand for service to the Southdale
area and the Mall of America. The new transit routes will
also begin implementation of the Regional Transit Board's
Vision for Transit program for this area, and will allow SMTC
to begin service in conformance with the 1-494 Travel Demand
Management plan.
The SMTC approved this new service at its August 27th
meeting, and once the plan has been approved by the Regional
Transit Board (RTB) it can go into effect.
Implementation of this new fixed route midday service will
have a potential tax impact on Eden Prairie due to the laws
governing the transit property tax. Due to this potential
tax impact, the Eden Prairie City Council is being asked to
endorse a resolution in support of this new transit service,
with an understanding of the potential tax impacts which are
automatic with the start of midday service.
These tax impacts on Eden Prairie are potential because the
timing of the new service would mean that transit tax
increases would not start until 1994, and then only if the
service proves to be successful and continues beyond
August 31, 1993.
Of note, Minnesota Valley Transit Authority recently obtained
similar resolutions of support from the cities of Burnsville •
Apple Valley and Eagan for its new Mall 01 America service
and circulator service in those cities.
,.,...., I ./ v;,. "7 .... .
City Council Memo 8/24/92 -Page 2
BACKGROUND
SMTC was formed in 1986, pursuant to Minnesota statutes. as a
.~joint powers agreement between the cities of Eden Prairie,
Chanhassen and Chaska. The first SMTC vehicles began service
on December 1, 1986, and since then the system has
experienced dramatic growth.
Express bus trips from the SMTC area to downtown Minneapolis
have expanded from ten trips a day to twenty six trips a
day, providing rides to over 1100 passengers daily. Dial-A-
Ride service has grown from one van to seven vans traveling
nearly 550,000 miles annually. SMTC also provides a limited
incommute service during peak hours for area businesses.
Overall, annual ridership on SMTC has grown from 140,000 in
1987 to 280,000 in 1991. Demand is so great for SMTC's
morning and evening commute runs that several of the vehicles
experience standing loads on a regular basis. Dial-A-Ride
service has been extremely successful by providing a door-to-
door shared ride van service within the SMTC area.
•
SMTC has constructed several park and ride lots within the •
three cities, has erected several bus shelters, and is in the
process of developing several additional park and ride lots
to help meet demand. In 1995 a unique and exciting new
transit hub is scheduled to open in Eden Prairie along
Technology Drive, west of Prairie Center Drive, which will
become the focal point for SMTC services.
SMTC FUNDING
Funding for SMTC is provided by property taxes collected
within the three city area by the RTB through a metropolitan
area-wide transit property tax. SMTC, due to the Replacement
Service (or "opt-out") statute, is eligible to spend up to 90
percent of these property taxes, subject to approval by the
RTB, for SMTC's transit program.
The budget for SMTC for 1992 is $1,784,000, or about $200,000
less than the 90 percent of local available transit funds it
is allowed to spend. It is fikely that actual expenditures
for SMTC will fall well below the 1992 budget amount due to
continuing efforts to build efficiencies into the system.
The 1993 budget will be approximately the same as the 1992
budget, even with expanded service, because the RTB begins
assuming the cost of capital in our service contracts
beginning January 1, 1993. This capital amount is •
approximately $350,000 annually.
•
•
•
City Council Memo 8/24/92 -Page 3
TAX IMPACTS OF NEW SERVICE
All communities within the Transit Taxing District of the
/RTB, including the three SMTC cities, are subject to a
transit property tax, as mentioned previously. The tax rate
charged throughout the Transit Taxing District is uniform,
thereby known as the Uniform Tax Capacity Rate. For 1992 the
Uniform Tax Capacity Rate is 2.965 percent.
Under Minnesota statute 473.446, Sub. 1 (c)(3), the amount of
the Uniform Tax Capacity Rate is to be reduced in a city if
that city receives only peak hour regular route service, or
receives midday regular route service at intervals greater
than 60 minutes.
The reduction in the Uniform Tax Capacity Rate for these
reduced service levels is called "feathering", and there are
two feathering levels below the Uniform Rate:
Uniform Tax Capacity
Rate
Feathering Level #1
Feathering Level #2
REDUCTION
0%
. 510?/O
. 765~~
RATE
2.965%
2.455%
2.200%
Feathering level #1 is for communities with full peak hour
service and limited off peak service (service of greater than
once per hour frequency). Feathering level #2 is for
communities with full peak hour service and no off peak
regular route service.
The cities of Eden Prairie, Chanhassen and Chaska are charged
at the feathering level #2 rate of 2.2 percent since this
area has peak hour service and no midday regular route
service. (Note: Dial-A-Ride service does not count as midday
service because it does not follow a regular route and is
ignored under the law.) .
Implementation of new midday'~egular route service to
Southdale and the Mall of America will automatically place
Eden Prairie in a higher tax rate. The service proposed will
only run to and from Eden Prairie, so the other two SMTC
cities will not be impacted by the new tax rates at this
time .
City Council Memo 8/24/92 -Page 4
The frequency of this new service will determine whether Eden
Prairie will be completely unfeathered (the highest tax rate)
or partially unfeathered (feathering level #1). If the
ifrequency of service is 60 minutes or less the tax capacity
rate for Eden Prairie will be the Uniform Rate of 2.965%. If
the frequency is greater than 60 minutes the rate will be at
feathering level #1, or 2.455%.
Perhaps an easier to understand measure of the relative
impacts partial or total unfeathering would have on Eden
Prairie is to examine the tax impacts on various home values.
The table below illustrates the increases expected to
property taxes due to (1) partial unfeathering or (2) total
unfeathering:
1

Prepared by Eden Prairie Assessing Department
These figures are illustrative only, representing the tax
impacts on Eden Prairie homes if Eden Prairie had been
unfeathered in 1992. The actual impacts will change from
year to year.
TIMING OF TAX IMPACTS
As mentioned previously, the new fixed route midday service
is scheduled to begin on September 8 and September 21, 1992.
This new service is being implemented as a demonstration
project through August of 1993.
The RTB determines its tax leyels for metropolitan area
cities based upon the service in existence as of September 1,
1992. By coincidence (not by design) the new SMTC service
will not begin until after that date, and it is expected that
the tax impact of this new service will not occur to Eden
Prairie until 1994, and then only if the demonstration
project proves successful.
•
•
•
•
•
•
City Council Memo 8/24/92 -Page 5
The timing of the new service is planned to coincide with the
start of classes at Hennepin County Vo-Tech (September 8) and
the University of Minnesota (September 21). Considerable
,"'commute and reverse commute riders are expected to utilize
this new service for these educational institutions.
In addition, within the next few years the RTB plans to
implement additional routes relative to its Vision for
Transit plan from Eden Prairie to Minnetonka and Burnsville.
The implementation of these new routes would certainly result
in unfeathering for Eden Prairie.
It should be kept in mind that by unfeathering Eden Prairie,
SMTC gains considerable new potential revenues in the future.
These new revenues can be used for enhanced transit services
by SMTC, and in that way the dollars are returning to the
community.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Eden Prairie City Council approve
the attached resolution of support for the new SMTC midday
regular route transit service to and from Eden Prairie,
Southdale and the Mall of America. Since the unfeathering of
taxes is automatic under the law, SMTC would appreciate this
resolution of support for its decision. This resolution
acknowledges that the new transit service will be midday
regular route service with a frequency of one hour or less,
resulting in full unfeathering for Eden Prairie .

The Honorable Doug Tenpas, Mayor
Members of the City Council
City of Eden Prairie
Eden Prairie, MN
Dear Mayor Tenpas and Councilmembers:
On behalf of the School Board and Intermediate District 287,
Hennepin Technical College, we support Resolution #92-194,
Southwest Metro Transit Commission Proposal to add bus service in
the City of Eden Prairie.
During the past several months our district representative has
been meeting with SMTC Administrator Diane Harberts to explore the
opportunities that would increase the availability of public
transit for students attending our Eden Prairie Campus of Hennepin
Technical College. We have successfully worked with SMTC to have
Hennepin Technical College be a bus stop/transfer point in the
twelve-month project proposal that would add service from Eden
Prairie to Southdale Mall to commence September 8, 1992. We
assure you that we are committed to working with SMTC to ensure
the success of such a project, and pledge support in publicizing
the availability of this service.
We had a similar experience at our Brooklyn Park Campus where bus
transportation was made available; as a direct result of that bus
transportation our enrollment of transported students to that
campus is significantly higher than the enrollment at the Eden
Prairie Campus. We know from our survey data that our Eden
Prairie Campus enrollment would increase significantly from the
perspective of students who currently cannot attend because of the
lack of available transportation.
We commend the City of Eden Prairie for taking this progressive
approach in addressing the transportation needs of the area and
community,. and encourage the approval of Resolution #92-194.
Sincerely,
b/d/ ~ a?'ctt

A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING
SOUTHWEST METRO TRANSIT COMMISSION
PROPOSAL TO ADD MID-DAY BUS SERVICE IN THE
CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
WHEREAS, the Southwest Metro Transit Commission (SMTC) pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes SS473.84, 473.388 and 471.59 has been established under a joint powers agreement
by and among the cities of Chanhassen, Chaska and Eden Prairie, and exists as an operating
public transit authority, and
WH ER EAS, two 12-month demonstration project proposals to add midday bus
service from Eden Prairie to the Southdale Mall and to the Mall of America have been approved
by the SMTC and
WHEREAS, the 12-month demonstration project proposal to add midday bus service
from Eden Prairie to the Southdale Mall will begin September 8, 1992 and terminate August
31, 1993 unless the project has been evaluated successful and approved by SMTC to continue
after August 31, 1993 and
WHEREAS, the 12-month demonstration project proposal to add midday bus service
from Eden Prairie to the Mall of America will be cosponsored and funded by SMTC and the
Regional Transit Board (RTB) and service is proposed to begin September 21, 1992 and
terminate August 31, 1993 unless the project has been evaluated successful and approved by
SMTC and the RTB to continue after August 31, 1993 and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes define full peak and off-peak bus service as "peak
period regular route service plus weekday midday regular route service at intervals of 60
minutes or less in length on the route with the greatest frequency", and
WHEREAS, due to the lack of any midday service operated by SMTC, the operating
levies are fully feathered, and
WHEREAS, with the implementation of midday bus service operating with service
frequency of sixty minutes or less to Southdale Mall and/or to the Mall of America the transit
tax will change from fully feathered to fully unfeathered should the demonstration projects be
approved to continued after August 31, 1993;.-
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City does hereby support the
following statement:
1 . The City of Eden Prairie supports efforts to increase demand for multiple
occupancy vehicle trips in a cost effective way by strengthening commuting alternatives.
2. The implementation of service to the Southdale Mall and to the Mall of America
strengthens local commuting alternatives and reinforces the regional transit system by
providing connections to other metro area destinations.
/<18'/ i .) \J
3. The SMTC transit system will be enhanced by providing an expanded schedule to
midday commuters, persons with flexible work hours, and increased midday travel
opportunities to destinations within and outside SMTC service area.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Eden Prairie has identified transit
service as an alternative to reducing reliance on the automobile, decreasing congestion, and
increasing travel opportunities for its residents and therefore, for the aforementioned reasons,
supports the unfeathering of the transit tax in the City of Eden Prairie.
ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie this 1st day of September,

Staff Report
Cascade Townhomes
August 7, 1992
BACKGROUND
This" site is currently guided Medium Density Residential. This site is part of the 1990
Jamestown PUD approved for 20 multiple units. This site is zoned RM-6.5. This site has site
plan approval for 20 multiple family units. The attached approved site plan shows two 8-unit
buildings and one 4-unit building.
SITE PLAN
The site plan shows 18 townhomes on 6.35 acres at a density of 2.83 units per acre. The RM-
6.5 zoning district would allow up to 6.7 units per acre. In order to preserve the wetland and
trees, the lower density is necessary.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS
In order to save trees, the proponent is requesting building setback and parking setback waivers
from the City Code. Building 1, 2, and 3 are setback 25 feet from the street right-of-way which
is a 5 foot waiver. Guest parking spaces are proposed at a minimum of 5 feet from the street
right-of-way which is a 25 foot parking setback waiver.
Although the request for waivers have merit in order to save trees, the placement of the
buildings and parking areas closer to the roadway leaves less room for screening and buffering.
This will be addressed in more detail in the Landscaping and Screening section.
GRADING AND TREE LOSS
There are 1078 inches of significant trees on this site. The grading plan will remove 28 percent
of the significant trees or 301 inches. This compares favorably with the average tree loss in the
community at 26 percent.
The approved site plan for the project had a lower tree loss (15 %) because the buildings were
larger and located farther away from the significant trees.
Tree replacement based on a 28 percent tree loss will be 116 inches.
LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING
The landscaping requirements for this project is based upon the caliper inch requirement based
on building square footage, tree replacement, and screening of parking areas. The caliper inch
requirement is 146 inches and the tree replacement requirement is 116 inches. The landscape
•
•
plan shows a total of 240 caliper inches. The landscape plan shall be revised to provide an •
additional 31 caliper inches.

Staff Report
Cascade Townhomes
August 7, 1992
Since building and parking areas are built closer to the street right-of-way and will require a
waiver, special attention must be given to the use of heavy plant material screening. Attachment
B indicates the areas which should be used for mass shrub plantings.
ARCHITECTURE
There are 2-unit, 4-unit and 6-unit buildings. The buildings are proposed to be constructed out
of face brick, wood siding and asphalt shingles. The roof pitches are steep and similar to the
Jamestown Townhomes.
Since most of the buildings are garage fronts facing the street, two additional front elevations
are needed to provide variety. Different color schemes are also needed for the buildings.
DRAINAGE
There is an existing storm sewer system in Cascade Drive. The drainage plan as proposed
drains all of the water across graded swales to the wetland area. The Engineering Department
has indicated that the grading plan should be revised to pick up the majority of the storm water
runoff in a storm sewer and catch basin system and direct towards Cascade Drive. In addition,
draining water across filled swales is an erosion problem.
UTILITIES
All utilities from the property line to the units are private. There should be a homeowners
association responsible for the maintenance of the sewer and water lines. All fire hydrants
should be located within City right-of-way.
SIDEWALKS AND TRAllS
The proponent will be required to construct a five foot wide concrete sidewalk along the south
side of Cascade Drive.
WETLAND DELINEATION
The proponent is required to provide a wetland delineation for the wetland area south of this
project. Based upon available information the edge of the wetland is defined at the 896 contour.
No filling is proposed within this area. The proponent should work with the Riley Purgatory
Creek Watershed District on the wetland delineation. This must be completed prior to final plat
approval .

August 7, 1992
CONCLUSION
This property is zoned RM-6.5 and with site plan approval to build 20 townhome units. The
Planning Commission is being asked to consider an alternative site plan proposal for 18
townhome units. The new plan spreads the buildings farther apart of the property which leaves
less of the wooded character and increases tree loss. However, smaller buildings may be more
appropriate considering the proximity to single family homes to the east and south across the
wetland area.
PUD waivers are requested to help save trees which is a good reason for considering the
waivers. Since some of the buildings and parking are closer to the roadway, greater attention
must be given to how these areas will be screened. Since the amount of parking areas are small,
landscaping should provide screening.
Architectural variety is a requirement. The proponent should provide revised building elevations
which depict different architectural styles and colors but with a common theme.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning Staff presents the following alternatives:
Alternative I:
If the Planning Commission believes that the site plan is an acceptable alternative use of
the property then one option would be to recommend approval of a PUD Concept, PUD
District Review with waivers, Zoning District Amendment, Site Plan Review, and
Preliminary Plat based on the recommendations of the Staff Report dated August 7, 1992
and based on plans dated August 7, 1992 and subject to the following additional
conditions:
1. Prior to review by the City Council the proponent shall submit for
review and approval:
A. A revised landscaping plan which provides for better
screening of parking areas and 31 additional caliper inches.
-' ~
B. Architecturally different building elevations (construction
details) and different color schemes.

August 7, 1992
Alternative IT:
C. A revised the storm water drainage plan to direct the
majority of storm water runoff towards the existing catch
basin system in Cascade Drive.
2. Prior to final plat, the proponent shall submit for review and
approval:
A. Detailed storm water runoff, erosion control and utility
plans for review by the City Engineer.
B. Detailed storm water runoff, erosion control and wetland
delineation plan for review by the Watershed District.
3. Prior to building permit issuance the proponent shall submit for
review and approval:
A. Cash park fee.
B . Plans for the Fire Marshall.
If the Planning Commission is not comfortable with the alternative site plan as proposed,
that the tree loss is too high and that the waivers are not justified then one option would
be to recommend denial of the project as proposed.
Staff recommends Alternative one.

Planning Commission
PUBLIC HEARINGS • A. CASCADE TOWNHOMES by Sunset Homes Corporation. Request for PUD Concept
Review on 60 acres, PUD District Review on 6.35 acres with waivers, Zoning District
Amendment within the existing RM-6.5 Zoning District on 6.35 acres, Preliminary Plat
of 6.35 acres into 18 lots and 3 outlots and Site Plan Review on 6.35 acres. Location:
Dell Road and Cascade Drive.
Franzen reported that this property had zoning approval approximately 2 years ago for
3 buildings. The proposal consisted of 2-unit, 4-unit, and 6-unit buildings. The
proponent had decreased the number of 2-unit buildings because of the additional space
needed between buildings and parking.
Jim Ostenson, representing Tandem Corporation, stated that the drainage concerns would
be addressed before the City Council meeting. Ostenson said that saving more trees was
a major concern when looking at this site. He believed that the Rottlund-Centex would
not be appropriate on this site and, therefore, went with the Sunset Home style which
was more of a traditional townhouse unit. Ostenson noted that a new tree survey had
been done last month and the homes had been placed to allow the significant tree to be
located toward the back of the lots. The proponent proposed to have 1 6-unit building
to save more trees. Ostenson stated that the project would be heavily landscaped. He
presented a copy of the sales brochure from the original approved PUD plan to show the
difference in the proposals. •
Donney, representing the proponent, stated that the outside architecture would blend with
the existing neighborhood. A 6/12 pitch roof was proposed to help blend in with the
single-family units. The price range proposed was $120,000 to $130,000.
Sandstad asked if there were different elevations for the buildings to create some variety.
Donney replied that there would be different roof styles and some units would have front-
loaded garages.
Wissner asked what type of siding would be used. Donney replied a masonite material
with a 25-year guarantee and white wash brick.
Kardell asked what the square-footage of the units would be. Donney replied
approximatel y 17,000 square feet.
Clinton asked what market the proponent was trying to reach. Donney replied the empty
nesters and professional couples.
Norman asked how many bedrooms the units would have. Donney replied 3 bedrooms
with finished lower levels.
•

Hawkins asked if there was a sidewalk. Ostenson replied there would be a sidewalk to
the south of Cascade Drive. Hawkins then asked what park was the closest. Franzen
replied Miller Park or Mitchell Park. Franzen added that roads would connect the
Jamestown Development and sidewalks would be provided to Miller Park .
Franzen reported that a previously approved plan would allow 20 units on this property.
The plan proposed was a different type of housing with walkout units, which would allow
the proponent to save more trees. He added that no fill would go into the wetland area
with the proposed plan. Franzen stated that there would be a mass of wooded area which
would wrap around the entrance and the trees proposed for landscaping were of the pin
oak variety which was in character with the trees which were taken out. Franzen said
that Staff was concerned about the curb appeal of the project since most townhouse units
typically had garage fronts. He added that on this project all the garages would be front-
loaded; the variation would be in the outside architecture to create subtle changes by
varying the accent trim materials while keeping the basic color and roof materials all the
same. Franzen believed that the storm water run-off could be handled from within the
development. The proponent would need to furnish 31 inches of additional trees, which
would not be a problem because there was plenty of room on the site. Franzen noted
that the proponent could have designed the plan without the need for waivers; however,
Staff believed that the plan as proposed was a better plan. Staff recommended the use
of shrubs for landscaping. Staff recommended approval of the project based on the
recommendations outlined in the Staff Report.
Hawkins asked for clarification on the recommendation that a homeowners association
be formed and be responsible for the maintenance of the sewer and water lines and also
if an association was planned by the proponent. Donney replied that a homeowners
association was planned. Franzen replied that it had been the experience of the City that
there was a question about who was responsible for repairs.
Hawkins noted that the requirement for a 5-foot sidewalk was not part of the official
recommendations. Franzen replied that it should be added as recommendation #4.
Ostenson noted that the requirement for the sidewalk was part of the overall PUD
approval. Hawkins asked Ostenson if the proponent would have a problem articulating
the requirement related to this proposal. Ostenson replied no; however, it would be
better to wait to install the sidewalk after the development was constructed so that it was
not broken up by construction vehicles.
Clinton asked if there would be a berm in front of the visitor parking area. Franzen
replied that in the lO-foot area not much could be done to berm the area; however, in
the 20-foot area a 2-foot berm could be used. Franzen recommended the use of shrubs
to screen the parking area; he believed that this was the only solution for this project.
Franzen noted that other options such as fencing and other forms of landscaping had been
discussed. ..
Wissner asked if there were special parking requirements for multiple dwellings.
Franzen replied that each unit required 1 parking space in the garage and 1 space outside;
the proposed units would have double garages. Additional visitor parking was required
at 112 space per unit or for this development 9 spaces. Wissner commented that in many
townhouse developments guest parking was a problem.
Hawkins asked if there would be special signage for the development and how would
trash disposal areas be handled. Franzen replied that a monument sign was not part of
the original PUD and had not been requested at this time by the proponent; however,
there could be a monument sign at the entrance to the development. Kardell replied thaa
each unit would handle its own trash disposal as in a single-family unit; there would b..,
no central disposal.
Bauer stated that he was comfortable with the proposal as presented. Bauer was
concerned that the architectural variety be limited to 3 different looks to give the project
a community look.
Hawkins stated that he too was comfortable with the proposal with the additional
sidewalk recommendation.
Kardell stated that she liked the use of the smaller buildings and encouraged the
development of affordable housing.
Hawkins stated that he would like to see a similar plan as used on the Fairfield project
with specific demarcation of areas for storing of materials and equipment. Franzen
replied that the proponent could be required to stake the site with snow fence where the
materials were to be stored. Hawkins added that he would like to see the Tandem
Corporation continue with there progressive efforts to save the trees.

Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
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

SUBJECT: Proposed Franchise Ordinance With NSP

REPLY TO EtlEN PRAIRIE OFflC£:
• This memo is in regard to a proposed franchise agreement with
NSF. Although Minnesota statutes provide that cities may reqUire
a franchise agreement with public utili ties, the City of Eden
Prairie does not presently have such an agreement with NSP. To my
understanding, a franchise agreement had been proposed a number of
years ago, but it was not approved by the Council. NSF originally
proposed that Eden Prairie enter into the franchise agreement form
that was drafted by the Suburban Rate Authority (SRA) of which Eden
Prairie is or was a member, but there were provisions in the SRA
Agreement that our office did not recommend. Therefore, the
Ordinance that was negotiated between the City staff and NSF is
based upon NSP's standard franchise agreement.
•
Attached hereto is a copy of the proposed Ordinance. My
comments are as follows:
SECTION 1
section 1 contains the definitions of terms used in the
Ordinance. Note the distinction between "Public Way," which means
streets, alleys and other '-'public right-of-ways I and "Public
Ground," which means park land or open space owned by the City.
Public Ways and Public Grounds are treated somewhat differently
under the Ordinance, as the placement of electric facilities is
more restricted on Public Grounds than Public Ways •
-1-
11·,S(
SECTION 2
2.1 The franchise is granted by the City to NSP for a period
of 20 years from the date the ordinance is effective.
The grant of franchise provides that NSP may construct,
operate, repair and maintain Electric Facilities on
Public Ways and Public Grounds, subject to the provisions
of the Ordinance.
2.3 The rates to be charged by NSP are subj ect to the
jurisdiction of the Minnesota Public utilities
Commission.
SECTION 3
3.1 Provides that Electric Facilities must be located on
Public ways so that they do not interfere with the safety
and convenience of ordinary travel. but may be located on
Public Grounds only as determined by the City.
3.3 Requires that unless there is an emergency requiring
immediate repair of Electric Facilities, NSP must contact
the City and obtain its permission before disturbing the
•
. paved surface of any Public Way or Public Ground. The
City may reqUire a permit and impose a reasonable fee ••
If there is an emergency, NSP must notify the City by
telephone and obtain the permit no later than two (2)
days after the date of the emergency.
3.4 Requires that any work done by NSF that reqUires the
opening of a Public Way or Public Ground must be restored
by NSP and maintained in good condition for two (2) years
thereafter. NSP must restore the Public Way or Public
Ground promptly, or the City may do it and charge NSP for
the expense.
3.5 ReqUires NSP to share its poles or towers with
the City for other City facilities, unless the
City's use will interfere with NSP. The City
must pay any added cost.
SECTION 4
section 4 permits NSP to trim trees and shrubs in the Public
ways and Public Grounds of the City that interfere with the proper
construction, operation, repair and maintenance of any Electric
Facilities installed under the franchise agreement.
NOTE: This is an important provision to NSP and constitutes
one of the reasons why NSP has requested a franchise agreement.
Pursuant to this prOVision NSF has the authority to trim trees on
Public ways and Public Grounds. Presently, since there is no •
-2-
•
•
•
agreement, unless there 1s a specific easement, NSF is required to
get the City's permission before trimming traas and shrubs.
SECTION 5
S.l Permits the City to vacate NSP utilities located in any
Public Way for a City improvement proj ect and to order
NSP to relocate its Electric Facilities upon reasonable
notice. NSP must relocate its Electric Facil! ties at its
own expense, unless the City orders a relocation within
five (5) years of a prior relocation, in which case the
City shall reimburse NSP for its expenses. If the
subsequent relocation is required because of the
extension of a City utility system to a previously
unserved area, NSP may be required to bear the cost of
relocation. The limitation on requiring NSP to relocate
is that NSP will not bear the expense if the relocation
is solely for the convenience of the City.
In connection with section 5.1, NSP originally proposed this
provision with a ten (10) year relocation provision, and amended it
to five (5) years. The Council should determine whether five (5)
years is acceptable.
5.2 Provides that the City may require the company to
relocate or remove Electric Facilities from Public
Grounds, only upon a finding by the City that such
Electric Facilities have become or will become an
impairment of the public use to which the Public Ground
is or ~ill be put. The relocation or removal should be
at the company I s expense, but only if the Electric
Facilities were constructed after the effective date of
this franchise Ordinance.
CUrrent Electric Facilities located on Public
Grounds are not covered under Section 5.2. However,
there is only one (1) Electric Facility located on a
Public Ground in Eden Prairie.
NOTE: Facilities can be relocated on Public Grounds only if
the facilities impair the use of the Public Grounds, whereas
facilities can be relocated on Public Ways for improvement projects
(See, 5.1).
5.3 Provides that where relocation or removal is due to
projects funded by;the state or federal government, the
City must reimburse NSP its expenses so long as the City
is able to be reimbursed by the state or federal
government •
-3-
,/. ( ;') ! L Lc~
I
SECTION 6
6.1 Provides for NSP to indemnify the City against claims
arising from maintenance, repair, operation of, and
issuance of permits for, Electric Facilities. The City
will not be indemnified for claims arising from its own
negligence, except it will be indemnified if it is I
negligent in issuing permits or inspecting NSP's work.
6.2 Requires NSP to defend the City if notice of the suit is
given by the city to NSP within a period of time where
NSP 1s not prejudiced by lack of such notice.
SECTION 7
section 7 provides that the City shall give NSP at least two
(2) weeks written notice of a proposed vacation of a public way.
The City must pay the cost of relocating Electric Facilities on
Public Ways unless it is required for a City street or other
improvement project as provided in section 5.
SECTION 8
Section 8 governs the imposition of a franchise fee by the
City.
8.1 Provides that the City may impose a franchise fee of not
more than five percent (5%) of NSP' s gross revenues. The
franchise fee must be imposed by a separate ordinance
adopted by the City Council.
NOTE: The City staff had proposed that the City be
permitted to impose a franchise fee without limitation,
since there is no limitation under state statute, but NSP
stated it would agree to a franchise fee of not more than
five percent (5%) because that is consistent with other
agreements that it has executed. The Council must decide
if a 5% cap on the franchise fee is acceptable.
8.2 Defines gross revenues to includes all sums received from
customers, excluding any surcharge to reimburse NSP for
the franchise fee.
8.3 sets out the means by which the franchise fee may be
collected. It states that the franchise fee may not
exceed the amount ~'which NSP may legally charge its
customers prior to payment to the City by imposing a
surcharge equivalent to such fee and its rates for
electric service.
Note that a franchise fee will be passed on to NSP
customers.

•
i'
8.4 Permits the City to impose a franchise fee on NSP only if
consistent with the fee imposed on other energy
suppliers, with the exclusion of those suppliers that
provide fuel for vehicles.
SECTION 10
section 10 contains general provisions regarding the
Ordinance, including 10.4 which provides that the Ordinance may be
amended but that the amendment shall not be effective for 90 days
after the date of the amendatory Ordinance.

SECTION 2. GRANT OF FRANCHISE.
2.1 Grant of Franchise. City hereby grants Company, for a period of 20 years from the
effective date of this Ordinance, the right to transmit and furnish electric energy for light, heat,
power and other purposes for public and private use within and through the limits of City as its
boundaries now exist or as they may be extended in the future, subject to the terms and
conditions contained herein. For these purposes, Company may construct, operate, repair and
maintain Electric Facilities in, on, over, under and across the Public Ways and such Public
Grounds of City, subject to the provisions of this Ordinance. Company may do all reasonable
things necessary or customary to accomplish these purposes, subject, however, to zoning
ordinances, other applicable ordinances, permit procedures, and to the further provisions of this
franchise.
2.2 Effective Date Written Acceptance. This franchise shall be in force and effect from
and after its passage and acceptance by the Company, and its publication as required by law.
An acceptance by Company must be filed with the City Clerk within 90 days after publication.
2.3 Service Rates. The service to be provided and the rates to be charged by Company
for electric service in City currently are subject to the jurisdiction of the Minnesota Public
Utilities Commission.
SECTION 3. RESTRICTIONS
3.1 Location of Facilities. Electric Facilities shall be located and constructed so as not
to interfere with the safety and convenience of ordinary travel along and over Public Ways, and
they shall be located on Public Ground as determined by City. Company's construction,
reconstruction, operation, repair, maintenance and location of Electric Facilities shall be subject
to other reasonable regulations of City.
3.2 Field Locations of Facilities. Company shall provide field locations for any of its
underground Electric Facilities within a reasonable period of time on request by City. The period
of time will be considered reasonable if it compares favorably with the average time required by
the cities in the same county to locate municipal underground facilities for Company.
3.3 Street Openings. Company shall not open or disturb the paved surface of any Public
Way or Public Ground for any purpose without first having obtained permission from City, for
which the City may impose a reasonable fee. Permit conditions imposed on Company shall not
be more burdensome than those imposed on other utilities for similar facilities or work.
Company may, however, open and disturb the paved surface of any Public Way or Public Ground
without permission from City where an emergency exists requiring the immediate repair of
Electric Facilities. In such event Company shall notify City by telephone through the office
designated by City before opening or disturbing a paved surface of a Public Way or Public
Ground. Not later than the second working day thereafter, Company shall obtain any required
permits and pay any required fees.
2
116L/
3.4 Restoration. After undertaking any work requiring the opening of any Public Way
or Public Ground, Company shall restore the same, including paving and its foundation, to as •
good condition as formerly existed, and shall maintain the same in good condition for two years
thereafter. The work shall be completed as promptly as weather permits, and if Company shall
not promptly perform and complete the work, remove all dirt, rubbish, equipment and material,
and put the Public Way or Public Ground in the said condition, the City shall have, after demand
to Company to cure and the passage of a reasonable period of time following the demand, but
not'to exceed five (5) days, the right to make the restoration at the expense of Company.
Company shall pay to City the cost of such work done for or performed by City, including its
administrative expense and overhead, plus ten percent (10%) additional as liquidated damages.
This remedy shall be in addition to any other remedy available to City.
3.5 Shared Use of Poles. Company shall make space available on its poles or towers
for City fire, water, utility, police or other City facilities whenever such use will not interfere
with the use of such poles or towers by Company, by another electric utility, by a telephone
utility, or by any cable television company or other form of communication company. In
addition, City shall pay for any added cost incurred by Company because of such use by City.
SEc:TION 4. TREE TRIMMING
Company may trim all trees and shrubs in the Public Ways and Public Ground of City
interfering with the proper construction, operation, repair and maintenance of any Electric
Facilities installed hereunder, provided that Company shall save City harmless from any liability
arising therefrom, and subject to permit or other reasonable regulation by City.
SECTION 5. RELOCATIONS
5.1 Relocation of Electric Facilities in Public Ways. Except as provided in Section
5.3, if City determines to vacate for a City improvement project, or to grade, regrade, or change
the line or the use of any Public Way or part thereof, or construct or reconstruct any City Utility
System in any Public Way, it may order the Company, upon reasonable notice, to relocate its
Electric Facilities located therein. Company shall relocate its Electric Facilities at its own
expense. City shall give the Company reasonable notice of plans to vacate for a City
improvement project, or to grade, regrade, or change the line of any Public Way or to construct
or reconstruct any City Utility System. If a relocation is ordered within five years of a prior
relocation of the same Electrical Facilities, which was made at Company expense, City shall
reimburse Company for non-betterment expenses on a time and material basis, provided that if
a subsequent relocation is required because of the extension of a City Utility System to a
previously unserved area, Company may be required to make the subsequent relocation at its
expense. Nothing in this Ordinance requires Company to relocate, remove, replace or reconnect
at its own expense its facilities where such relocation, removal, replacement or reconstruction is
solely for the convenience of the City and is not reasonably necessary for the construction or
reconstruction of a Public Way or City Utility System or other City improvement.

5.2 Relocation of Electric Facilities in Public Grounds. Except as may be provided
in Section 5.3, City may require Company to relocate or remove its Electric Facilities from
Public Ground upon a finding by City that the Electric Facilities have become or will become
an impairment of the public use to which the Public Ground is or will be put. The relocation
or removal shall be at the Company's expense. The provisions of 5.2 apply only to Electric
Facilities constructed in reliance on a franchise and Company does not waive its rights under an
easement or prescriptive right.
5.3 Projects With State or Federal Funding. Relocation, removal, or rearrangement
of any Company Electric Facilities made necessary because of the extension into or through of
a federally-aided highway project shall be governed by the provisions of Minn. Stat. §161.46 as
supplemented or amended. It is understood that the right herein granted to Company is a
valuable right. City shall not order Company to remove or relocate its facilities when a Public
Way is vacated, improved or realigned because of a renewal or a redevelopment plan which is
financially subsidized in whole or in part by the Federal Government or any agency thereof,
unless the expense resulting therefrom are first paid to Company, but City need not pay those
portions of such for which reimbursement to it is not available.
5.4 Liability. Nothing in this Ordinance relieves any person from liability arising out
of the failure to exercise reasonable care to avoid damaging Electric Facilities while performing
any activity.
SECTION 6. INDEMNIFICATION.
6.1 Company shall indemnify, keep and hold the City free and harmless from any and
all liability on account of injury to persons or damage to property occasioned by the construction,
maintenance, repair, inspection, the issuance of permits, or the operation of the Electric Facilities
located in City. City shall not be indemnified for losses or claims arising out of its own
negligence, except for losses or claims arising out of or alleging City's negligence as to the
issuance of permits for, or inspection of, Company's plans or work. City shall not be
indemnified if the injury or damage results from the performance in a proper manner of acts
reasonably deemed hazardous by Company, and such performance is nevertheless ordered or
directed by City after notice of Company's determination.
6.2 In the event a suit is brought against the City under circumstances where this
agreement to indemnify applies, Company at its sole cost and expense shall defend City in such
suit if written notice thereof is given Company within a period wherein Company is not
prejudiced by lack of such notice. If Company is required to indemnify and, defend, it will
thereafter have control of such litigation, but Company may not settle such litigation without the
consent of City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This section is not, as to
third parties, a waiver of any defense or immunity otherwise available to City; and Company, in
defending any action on behalf of City shall be entitled to assert in any action every defense or
immunity that City could assert on its own behalf.

/<t. ( ( ('lov
SECTION 7. VACATION OF PUBLIC WAYS.
City shall give Company at least two (2) weeks prior written notice of a proposed •
vacation of a Public Way. Except where required for a City street or other improvement project
as provided in Section 5, the vacation of any Public Way, after the installation of Electric
Facilities, shall not operate to deprive Company of its rights to operate and maintain such Electric
Facilities, until the reasonable cost of relocating the same and the loss and expense resulting from
such relocation are fIrst paid to Company. In no case, however, shall City be liable to Company
for failure to specifIcally preserve a right-of-way, under Minn. Stat §160.29.
SECTION 8. FRANCHISE FEE.
8.1 Separate Ordinance. During the term of the franchise hereby granted, and in lieu
of any permit or other fees being imposed on Company, City may impose on Company a
franchise fee of not more than fIve percent of Company's gross revenues as hereinafter defmed.
The franchise fee shall be imposed by a separate ordinance duly adopted by the City Council,
which ordinance shall not be adopted until at least 60 days after written notice enclosing such
proposed ordinance has been served upon Company by certifIed mail. The fee shall not become
effective until at least 60 days after written notice enclosing such adopted ordinance has been
served upon Company by certified mail. Section 10.2 shall constitute the sole remedy for solving
disputes between Company and City in regard to the interpretation of, or enforcement of the
separate ordinance. A separate ordinance which does not impose a uniform fee on all revenues
within the definition' of gross revenues shall not be effective against the Company.
8.2 Terms Defined. The term "gross revenues" means all sums, excluding any surcharge •
or similar addition to Company's charges to customers for the purpose of reimbursing Company
for the cost resulting from the franchise fee, received by Company from the sale of electricity
to its retail customers within the corporate limits of the City. '
8.3 Collection of the Fee. The franchise fee shall be payable not less often than
quarterly, and shall be based on the gross revenues of Company during complete billing months
during the period for which payment is to be made. The payment shall be due the last business
day of the month following the period for which the payment is made. The percent fee may be
changed by ordinance from time to time; however, each change shall meet the same notice
requirements and the percentage may not be changed more often than annually. Such fee shall
not exceed any amount which Company may legally charge to its customers prior to payment to
the City by imposing a surcharge equivalent to such fee in its rates for electric service. Company
may pay City the fee based upon the surcharge billed subject to subsequent reductions to account
for uncollectible or customer refunds. The time and manner of collecting the franchise fee is
subject to the approval of the Public Utilities Commission, which Company agrees to use best
efforts to obtain. Company agrees to make its gross revenues records available for inspection
by City at reasonable times.
•
•
•
•
8.4 Conditions on the Fee. The separate ordinance imposing the fee shall not be
effective against the Company unless it lawfully imposes and the City quarterly or more often
collects a fee or tax of the same or greater percentage on the receipts from sales or energy within
the City by any other energy supplier, provided that, as to such a supplier, the City has the
authority to require a franchise fee or to impose a tax. The franchise fee or tax shall be
applicable to energy sales for any energy use related to heating, cooling, or lighting, as well as
to the supply of energy needed to run machinery and appliances on premises located within or
adjacent to the City, but shall not apply to energy sales for the purpose of providing fuel for
vehicles.
SECTION 9. CHANGE IN FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
Any change in the form of government of City shall not affect the validity of this
Ordinance. Any governmental unit succeeding City shall, without the consent of Company,
succeed to all of the rights and obligations of City provided in this Ordinance.
SECTION 10. PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE.
10.1 Severability. If any portion of this franchise is found to be invalid for any reason
whatsoever, the validity of the remainder shall not be affected.
10.2 Default. If either party asserts that the other party is in default in performance of
any obligation hereunder, the complaining party shall notify the other party of the default and
the desired remedy. The notification shall be written. If the dispute is not resolved within 30
days of the written notice, either party may commence an action in District Court to interpret and
enforce this franchise or for such other relief as may be permitted by law or equity for breach
of contract, or either party may take any other action permitted by law.
10.3 No Third Party Benefit. This Ordinance constitutes a franchise agreement between
City and Company as the only parties and no provision of this franchise shall in any way inure
to the benefit of any third person (including the public at large) so as to constitute any such
person as a third party beneficiary of the agreement or of anyone or more of the terms hereof,
or otherwise give rise to any cause of action in any person not a party hereto.
10.4 Amendment. This Ordinance may be amended at any time by City passing a
subsequent Ordinance declaring the provisions of the amendment, which amendatory Ordinance
shall become effective upon the filing of Company's written consent thereto with the City Clerk
within 90 days after the effective date of the amendatory Ordinance.

FROM:
DATE: July 6, 1992
SUBJECT: Tree Planting in the Right-of-Way
SUMMARY:
The City Council has asked that a report be prepared regarding the feasibility of planting trees
in the right-of-way of our street system. The question about whether trees can be planted in the
right-of-way has always been easy to answer --absolutely! The issue as to whether or not it
is advisable to do so has always been the point of debate. In collaboration with Stuart Fox, I
have attempted to summarize our own opinions on this matter as well as information gleaned
from other communities in the area. If, after reading this information, the City Council chooses
to proceed with some form on right-of-way tree planting program, it must be with the
understanding that it will be an increased service level for our community and appropriate
funding must be dedicated for the program.
Aesthetics is the only reason to consider tree planting within City right-of-way. All other
beneficial aspects of urban forests (and there are many) can be accomplished by plantings
outside of the right-of-way.
DISCUSSION:
A number of issues surface when a discussion of planting trees in the right-of-way occurs. As
indicated, aesthetics is the single reason to place the trees in the right-of-way, while such things
as cost, tree health, space availability and traffic issues are a few of the counter points. By
general category, the balance of this memorandum attempts to summarize the non-aesthetic
issues for your consideration.
Adequate Room For Growth: Depending ()n species and care, trees can be planted virtually
anywhere, but the growth rate and life expectancy will vary greatly depending on where it is
planted. For example, an urban street tree, such as on Nicollet Avenue has a life expectancy
of twelve years. Whereas, we have seen many examples of 200-year old Oak trees in an
undisturbed setting within our community. Trees need adequate room to develop a proper root
system in order to grow to their potential. When a tree is in a close proximity to asphalt there
are many more problems with heat stress due to reflected heat. In close proximity to the streets,
salt damage can be a major retardant to tree growth since salt can accumulate in the soil for a
potential long term affect.
!7'7~
Additionally, many of the potentially disease resistant tree varieties that are available for planting •
have a different branching pattern than the American Elm --the historic street tree in our
country. Horizontal branching on trees planted too close to the edge of the street make them
susceptible to damage from vehicles until the tree has matured enough to gain clearance height.
There are some proported disease resistant Elm trees and such trees as the Hackberry that tend
to have the vase shape associated with the American Elm that creates a cathedral-like canopy
over the street. However, some experts would suggest that tree varieties be varied greatly to
limit the possibility of a major impact due to a "Dutch Elm" disease. The result is that we
wouldn't necessarily get the kind of effect that many people imagine in a boulevard tree planting
program.
Why Does It Work In Minneapolis?: Minneapolis has an active boulevard tree program that
probably grew out of necessity. There are many areas in Minneapolis that have lots that are
only 40 feet wide and set backs from the right-of-way that are 20-25 feet. The result is that
there is very limited room to plant trees on private property and the right-of-way is the only
available space. Additionally, Minneapolis was developed with an overhead wiring system and
has limited buried utilities in the boulevard area.
In Eden Prairie and virtually all the newer suburbs, all utilities are underground. Eden Prairie,
like many cities, have had standards for a number of years regarding specific locations for each
of the underground utilities. Exhibits A through E show the typical street sections in our
construction standards. Most of our residential streets are 50-foot right-of-way widths with a
28-foot street. There are four utilities which must go in this right-of-way area (cable television
is not shown) which would be in conflict with tree planting. While not an insurmountable ~
obstacle, this conflict does not exist in a Minneapolis system that has the overhead utilities in _
an alleyway.
If trees are to be accommodated in the right-of-way, it would be necessary to provide enough
room to reduce the potential conflicts. This could be done in two ways --by widening the right-
of-way or requiring that the utilities relocate outside of the right-of-way. The City of Eagan,
for example, allows tree planting in certain right-of-ways, but their minimum right-of-way width
is 60 feet compared to 50 feet in Eden Prairie. St. Louis Park has an active tree planting
program, but again has a minimum 60-foot right-of-way width.
The City of Plymouth does not allow tree planting in new developments, but they do some of
their own planting on their higher type facilities (such as Municipal State Aid streets) each year.
These right-of-way widths are usually 80-100 feet, which allows for proper space. In addition,
Plymouth has required that utilities be placed in a lO-foot easement on private property adjacent
to the City right-of-way. Maple Grove allows tree planting in the boulevard by policy, but
residents are strongly encouraged to plant trees in the area of 15-25 feet from the back of the
curb. Maple Grove has a minimum 60-footright-of-way with a 30-foot wide street.
Finally, the Minneapolis street system is a grid system and the resulting effect for the canopied
boulevard trees is quite dramatic. It should be noted that Eden Prairie has generally a
curvilinear street system which will not result in the same effect.

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

MEMORANDUM
Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission
Robert A. Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation &
Natural Resources
FROM: Barbara Penning Cross, Landscape Architect~
DATE: October 31, 1989
SUBJECT: Landscaping Medians and/or Major Intersections
Landscaping within center medians is an eye catching way to
beautify the city of Eden Prairie. Before decisions can be made
as to how and where the landscaping should be placed, the parks,
recreation and natural resources staff has gathered the following
information and concerns:
DESIGN
A wide array of design alternatives are possible, using plant
materials, paving, planters and lighting as the basic building
blocks.
The different colors and textures of plant materials should be
utilized to provide the most impact and visual stimUlation.
Flowers in bloom all season would provide the biggest splash of
color. Annual flowers bloom more profusely all. summer in a wider
variety of colors than do perennials.
Shrubs provide some screening between lanes and provide vertical
relief to the flatness of the roadway. Flowering shrubs will add
color as well as height to the median. A plain green shrub mass
would provide a solid backdrop accentuating the color of the flower
beds. '
Trees planted within medians provide shade from the heat and glare
of roadways. Trees also define the roadways channeling the vehicle
through a space rather than across a flat sector of pavement.
Other amenities that help decorate landscaped areas are special
paving such as brick, colored concrete and bomanite.
These paving surfaces clean up edges, and keep maintenance for turf
areas to a minimum in an attractive way.
Planters for shrub masses and flower beds are commonly used to add
interest and give height, and they also break the monotony of
roadside plantings.
Decorative lighting is also an item that would give character and
identity to the medians within the City.
(
A myriad of possibilities exist for design of these medi;::ms.
Budget, safety, and maintenance concerns are factors that -",ill
influence the design of these areas.
LOCATION
Highly visible places for planting landscape materials have been
identified on a map. They have been broken down into major
entrances into the city, major or visible intersections, and
existing medians which could be landscaped.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation owns all right-of-ways
along I494 and 212/169. They are responsible for all improvements
and maintenance to these highways. I was unable to reach the key
person to get preliminary approval, but in my discussions the
following unofficial information and concerns were obtained:
• The median strips between the road sections in this area are used
as drainage swales during storms and are not available.
• If permission is granted to plant along some of the upper slopes,
maintenance of these areas is the responsibility of the City.
• A concern was expressed as to how city cre\vS would access the
site. Due to the high speeds 0 these roadways, cars at slow
speeds entering, exiting or working could cause a serious risk
to health and property.
Hennepin County is responsible for two large stretches where
medians occur. The first is Valley View Road from Mitchell Road
east to Highway 169/212. The second is Mitchell Road from Valley
View, south to Highway 5. I spoke to Dennis Hansen with Hennepin
County and he expressed the following thoughts and concerns:
• Maintenance is currently the responsibility of the County. If
the city does any planting it would be up to the City to maintain
the medians. The city would have to accept liability for all
plant materials lost due to snow removal and storage, salt and
chemical damage or accidents.
• The County would not approve anything that
vehicle should jump a curve. Tree trunks
would be examples of unyielding obj ects.
flowers or shrubs would be acceptable.
was unyielding if a
and light standards
Hansen stated that
site distance problems at intersections would need to be
addressed so shrubs would not block views .
• The city would 'have to go throu~~ a permit process, but he didn't
see any reason it would not be approved if we complied \'lith the
above concerns.
The city of Eden Prairie maintains the medians along Prairie Center
Drive from Highway 5, south along the ring road and bac}:, up to
,
r:-Ii
I'
G •
169/212, and also along single Tree Lane. Gene Dietz, Director of
Public Works, expressed similar thoughts and they are as follows:
Maintenance was his biggest concern and he wanted the Park
Department to be responsible for maintenance incl,,:ding plllnt
replacement if any landscaping should occur. He sa~d the g~ts
"lots of complaints about the maintenance of the med~ans str~ps
and would be very glad for somebody else to assume the
. headaches" . ,
• Most of the utilities are buried in the ROW, but medians should
be clear with the exception of electric wires for stop signllls
and storm sewer. He thought for the most part they would be deep
enough to not cause us any problems .
• Mr. Dietz stated he was not concerned with maintenance vehicles
if the city was careful to avoid busy times during the day to
service the medians.
Entrances to the city have been identified on the map. Pri:mary
entrances would be the MnDot Highways 494, 169/212, High~vay 5,
County Road 1, Dell Road, Eden Prairie Road, Baker Road and
Anderson Lakes Parkway. These well travelled entrances into the
City are prime locations where landscaping could occur to announce
Eden Prairie. County Road 18 is scheduled to be upgraded within
the next 5 years. This construction schedule may affect timing or
coordinating joint efforts.
Major intersections which are very visible or heavily traveled have
also been shown on the map as possible sites for landscape
improvements.
Gene Dietz, Director of Public Works for Eden Prairie, had more
concerns with planting off the streets in the ROW areas than in the
medians. He said in order to keep costs down, most City streets
only have a 50' ROW. The city also requires new developments to
bury electric, telephone, and cable TV lines during construction.
With a typical road at 28' it only leaves 11; on each side of the
roadway to bury gas lines, electric lines, water lines, cable TV
and telephone lines. Underground utilities will be more prevalent
at intersections where new subdivisions and building has taken
place.
City Code directs property owners not to install plant materials
within the City ROW to keep clear of all of these buried utilities.
Mr. Dietz also stated that visibility and site distance problems
can occur when plantings are within the ROW, and feels the City
policy is a good one. A property owner can plant a tree on their
property 11' from the roadway, which also gives the city room to
store snow without damaging trees.
Limited tree and shrub planting would still be acceptable as long
as utilities and site distance are respected. Flower beds would .. ' for the most part, not lnterfere wlth site distance or utilities .

Planters could also be utilized to keep clear of utility lines and
to give intersections a more polished look.
COST AND MAINTENANCE
Due to the wide variety of design options and the different sizes
of medians, the following cost projections are preliminary and are
intended to give a ballpark estimate for comparison and discussion.
Further cost estimates need to be undertaken as the designs are
more finalized.
In order to facilitate discussion, I have broken the medians down
into 4 categories to give estimated costs. The drawing shows a
sample of what each category could look like. Please keep in mind
these are only possibilities and not the finished product. Broken
down cost estimates are on the attached sheets, but bottom line
costs for an average median of 13,000 sq. ft. are shown as follows:
1. flowers only -$6,970 per median
2. flowers and shade or ornamental trees -$7,020 per median
3. trees, shrubs and flowers -$7,925 pr median
4. shrubs and flowers -$8,700 per median
For the most part estimated prices include labor for installation.
Construction and landscape projects such as this are nOrr.lally
contracted out due to the heavy work load of our city crews. The
flower planting will be an annual event and it is the only cost
estimate that the labor for the city crews have included. T\vO
estimates are listed for the City personnel. 4A is the cost for
seasonal help assuming $6 per hour. 4B is the cost of our full-
time help using the $6 per hour figure. In order to simplify the
bottom line, I have used the seasonal help figure in the total
since if this project were implemented, more seasonal people would
.be needed.
Maintenance cost have not been included in these cost estimates.
The cost of maintaining these medians will vary greatly depending
on what is planted, detailing and if the median is irrigated.
COSTS FOR TREES AND SHRUBS
Occasionally a shrub or tree will need to be replaced due to
drought, snow storage, or salt damage, but the expense will not be
incurred each year. Maintenance for trees and shrubs will require
daily or weekly waterings while the plants arc young, but when the
plant is established and edging and mulch is used and properly
installed, maintenance costs are reasonably low and for the most
part limited to weekly watering, ~eeding and litter pickup.
Annual flowers will be an ongoing yearly expense. Costs each year
must include the price of the flowers, as well as labor costs for
installation and maintenance. Mid May is the best time to plant
annual flowers and unfortunately it is also one of the busiest
times for our park maintenance crew. In order for this project to

be implemented and still get our parks ready for use, additional
help must be obt<lined . Additional seasonal park maintenance peop~e
or contracted employees would be realistic, since the scale of th~s
project would probably be larger than volunteers would undertake.
Watering flowers is also labor intensive. With little shade and
the heat from the surrounding pavement, our park crews estimate
watering will be needed every other day unless rain is frequent.
The city has two water trucks, which according to union contr<lC~S
can 'only be driven by full-time City personnel at the $16/hour-
labor rate. Our Park Manager estimated $10 per 1000 sq. ft. or 131
per median for. each time the flowers are watered. The City water
trucks are shared by the Park Department and the street Departme~t.
Use of the water trucks is not guaranteed, especially when c~~y
street ~rews are. seal coating roads and trails.
The city also have two pickup trucks with tanks that will hold 250
gallons of water. These trucks may be driven by seasonal help in
at the lower hourly rate, but it would be a much slower process due
limited capacity and pressure. The Park Manager estimates both
trucks would be in service the majority of time if all the medians
are planted, removing two trucks from the city fleet.
Other costs involved with flower maintenance to keep them looking
good, would include weeding, removing dead flower heads to
stimulate blooming and litter removal.
Sad· has also been included on the plans as a possible ground cover
to break up flower and shrub beds. While probably not as labor
intensive as flowers, sad needs to be cut, trimmed, and watered to
keep it looking good. Mowing and trimming costs are estimated to
be $8 per 1000 sq. ft. using City equipment and seasonal help.
The costs that have been presented this far are costs for an
average 13,000 sq. ft. median. They vary somewhat in size and
shape, but 34 medians exist within Eden Prairie and could be part
of an overall beautification scheme. Costs are shown below for
each one of the 4 categories including maintenance. Estimates
include the following assumptions. Flower watering is done with
full-time people and the City water truck 3 times per week from May
1 to September 15th. Mowing is done with seasonal people once a
week fr~m Ap~il 8 to octobe 7 20th. Dividing the maintenance figure
by 34 w1ll g~ve you the ma~ntenance cost for an average median.

The figures above present a more realistic view of costs to do all
the medians wi thin the City. Maintenance expenses are ongoing
yearly expenses. Once the project is started materials and labor
expenses are also ongoing expenses when flowers are part of the
design.
An irrigation system is something that should be discussed as part
of this project. Although, initially very expensive, the
installation of an irrigation system would solve many problems.
It would eliminate the availability problem of getting the water
truck and leave the 2 pickup trucks free for watering plants and
flowers within the parks system. It would also eliminate anv
traffic hazards created by the water truck as it is parked next t;
the median or while accessing the site. Preliminary cost estimates
show a system would be approximately $500 per 1000 sq. ft. to
irrigate, or about $6,550 for an average median. If all the
medians in town were done, $222,700 would be the projected cost.
The payback period for only flowers would be less than one year.
The payback time for flowers, trees and shrubs would be 1.7 years.
Other suggestions to cut down maintenance expenses Would be to
maximize the use of shrubs and trees saving flower beds for accent
areas. The use of hard surface materials around sign posts Would
save weekly trimmings. Techniques such as week control fertilizer . ,
edging and mulch can also greatly cut down ma~ntenance expenses.
STAFF RECOr~1ENDATIONS
This project has the potential to make our city a truly beautiful
city. Virtually everyone driving by will notice our landscaped
medians. This project also has the potential to be a real source
of complaints, if initial design~and ma~ntenance are not what the
public expects to see. Whatever the C~ty does must be done well
and taken care of properly in order to achieve the goals of
beautifying the City of Eden Prairie.
There are two ways to begin a project like this depending on the
objectives of the Commission and Council. The first is to do a
11g I

Cr •
large area very simply such as trees in the medians and increase
plant materials as money is available. The other option for
implementation is to take a small area and focus time and money on
an area that shines. The first scheme would make an impact on a
large number of people due to the area the improvements cover.
The second scheme would make a large impact on a smaller number of
people because it is limited in only one area. Both of these
strategies have merit. Consistency in design and materials will
be crucial to keep the project tied together. ,
One suggestion, if the Commission wants to pursue this, is to
select the intersection of County Road 4 and Valley View Road. The
entire western half of this highly visible intersection is already
owned by the city. If money is available, medians could also be
developed.
QUESTIONS THE COHMISSION AND COUNCIL SHOULD ADDRESS ARE:
Location of Improvements
1. Where are the improvements going to be located? Medians and
or intersections?
2. Should the project be phased? What areas are most important
and would give the most impact for the dollar?
Design Concerns
1. Which option (l-4) is best for the city considering all
factors?
2. Are there some options not shown which would work better?
. Budaet Concerns
1. Where will the funding come from?
2. Who will organize funds from business leaders?
3. How much money is needed or available?
Safety and Maintenance Concerns
1. Should the City pay to irrigate the landscaped medians?
2. Should the City allow trees
islands?

SUBJECT: Follow-up to Landscape Medians
Staff has done another cost estimate for medians using the existing
sod and planting salt tolerant shade trees 25' on center. Two cos~
estimates sheets are attached. One includes the cost for irriga-
tion, the second includes maintenance costs for watering. Both
estimates include mowing and trimming costs for each growing
season.
A typical median is 800'. At a spacing
would be needed for an average median.
balled and burlapped trees is $200 per
for 30 trees.
of 25' on center 30 trees
The estimated cost for 30
tree installed, or $6,000
Mowing wi"ll be a yearly maintenance expense. For estimating
purposes, I have made the following assumptions. Mowing would be
done with seasonal people calculated at $8 per 1000 -sq. ft. or $105
per median per mowing. * Costs for 28 mowings are $2,940 per year.
Watering trees can be done in two ways. The first is an irrigation
system. An estimated cost for an irrigation system for an average
median is $6,550. This is a one time expense for the initial
installation. Watering can also be done with the City crews using
a water truck. The following assumptions were made for cost
estimates. Water truck would be used once a week with full-time
personnel. Costs are estimated to be $10 per 1000 sq. ft., or a
$130 per watering. The watering season would be approximately from
May 1 through September 15th. Total watering costs for the summer
would be $2,600. Watering in this fashion would be necessary once
a week while the trees are young and then subsequently dependent
on weather.
Start up costs for this landscape improvement program would be
$11,540* for a s~stem,with ~ur ,CitX crews doing the watering, or
$15,490 for a medlan wlth an lrrlgatlon system. Yearly maintenance
costs for the irrigated syste,m would jUst be mmving and trimming
for about $2,940 per year. Maln~~nance costs without an irrigation
system would be $2, 9~0 for, mowlng ,and $2,600 for watering, for a
total of $5,550. Agaln, thls waterlng would be necessary while the
trees are young, and dependent on weather thereafter.
Costs for shade trees in the medians along Prairie Center Drive
from Valley View Road to 169 have been calculated based on 4800
•
•
• linear feet. Initial costs with an irrig<ltion system for the
entire project would be $92,940. Maintenance costs for mowing and
trimming for the entire project would be $17,640 per year. Project
costs for the landscaped medians not including irrigation would be
$69,240. Maintenance costs for mowing, trimming and watering would be $33,240 per year.
If the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission decides
tO,go ahead with this project, thought should be given as to how
this plan will be implemented. Questions for discussion might be:
1. What are the next steps in the process?
2. Who will coordinate the project?
3. Who will contact private businesses, clubs, etc.?
4. How will money accounts be set up for donations?
*28 mowings will be required if the medians are mowed once a week
from April a-October 20th.

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

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

Mikkelson commented that he did not think the
suggestion was to do the project on such a large scale.
Baker said he feels the City Council should be
_approached with the suggestion. He has discussed
the project with several people and one idea was
to have a contest in 5 to 10 locations perhaps
with materials donated by the City and have civic
organizations either provide the labor or donate
money for the project.
Lambert said that in speaking with the City Manager,
using volunteers or civic organizations would be
working in a median would be a liability concern.
Baker said that perhaps the City could ask for
contributions and erect a plague announcing the
sponsor.
Lambert suggested planters at intersections because
of all the underground wiring in these locations
for traffic signals, etc.
Cross said she hesitates to provide a landscape
in plan for intersections because they are all
so different.
Cook said he feels that residents of Eden Prairie
will be of the opinion that funds should be used
for other purposes rather than landscaping.
•
•
Richard said he feels that Prairie Center Drive
from Rainbow to Lunds is an important area to consider
landscaping for three reasons: many businesses
are located in this area, there is a good deal
of traffic and there are large medians to work
with. He said the landscaping should be kept very
simple and done completely through donations.
Joyer commented that residents took notice of the
flowers that were planted at Staring Lake. She
felt that landscaping should begin at Round Lake
6r Riley Lake, but is in favor of the idea.
Helling said she feels that the intersection by
Round Lake park_would be a~ ideal location to begin.
She felt that elther the Llons Club or Optimists
Club might be willing to fUnd it.

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

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

August 8, 1990
SUBJECT: City Beautification
========================================
At the August 6th meeting, the Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission and the City Council agreed that at this point
the City cannot afford any extensive landscaping or beautification
projects. The City Council is very supportive of this concept and
agrees that planning should be initiated to allow for those
projects, especially in the Major Center Area and on key inter-
sections within the city.
The City Council encouraged the Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission to consider the following:
1. Encourage or assist in the development of an Eden Prairie
Garden Club that would coordinate and initiate these various
beautification projects.
2. Contact city businesses to determine if they would consider
partnerships on specific beautification projects in their part
of the City.
3. Develop an overall concept plan for ultimate development of
medians in the Maj or Center Area to insure that when road
proj ects are upgraded there is sufficient room for' tree
plantings, irrigations systems, and flower beds.
4. Contact the School District to determine if elementary schools
are interested in developing 'flower bed plantings at the
school/park sties.
5. Research other State or County agencies that may have grant
dollars available for beautification projects.
6. Contact the Twin City Tree Trust to see if they would be
willing to plant flowers or help develop planting beds.
,,>
7. Contact Eden Prairie public service organizations, such as the
Lions, the Eden Prairie Foundation, etc. to see if they're
willing to participate in any particular project.
.' .. '. . .

f. , ••• }. '. ,' •• _.
The Council indicated that it was very important to "do it right"
by insuring that planting beds have irrigation systems to insure
that they don't become an eyesore, rather than something of which
people can be proud. Council also believe that by developing
beautification projects people become more interested in, and aware
of, the environment and the beauty of our community.
