MOTION:
Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock to approve Items A
through K on the Consent Calendar as published. 1
ITEM C
Pidcock believed that the skating rinks were a positive
activity for children and would like to see a few more
rinks opened. Peterson stated that the usage of the rinks
would be monitored. Lambert added that the two rinks
which had been petitioned would be maintained and
monitored this season. Pidcock stated that the City had
been criticized because it did not maintain the facilities
as well for the children as it did for the adult
activities. Pidcock added that she would like to see more
done for the youth and especially to reconsider opening
the two rinks which had been eliminated.
Anderson stated that the City had tried the mini-rinks in
the past with little success. Anderson concurred with 1
Staff's statements that maintenance was difficult.
Peterson believed that Staff was making a sincere effort
to improve the facilities available and would continue to j
monitor them. Peterson requested that the City Council
and the Parks, Recreation, & Natural Resources Commission
be given reports of the monitoring process.
Pidcock asked if the other two rinks could be done on a
trial basis. Lambert replied that the 3rd rink at Outlot
C of Amsden Hills Second Addition had not been petitioned,
71
City Council Minutes 3 October 3, 1989
was not on City property, and unless the neighbors did
petition for the project Staff recommended that this
project not be done. Pidcock stated that residents would
not think about the rink until winter was actually here.
Tenpas stated that the neighbors did understand the
problem about getting the maintenance vehicles to the
water.
Motion to approve the Consent Calendar carried
unanimously.
IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT HEARING (Continues from September 12,
1989) Resolution No. 89-199 - Approving 1989 Special
Assessment Rolls
Dietz referred to Exhibit A, Item I.C. 52-132, which
showed that the two vacant lots on Franlo Road had the
lateral sewer and water assessments deferred with interest
as discussed at the September 12, 1989 meeting.
Dietz reported that Item I.C. 52-147 had originally had 3
items continued. It was later determined that the first yy
two parcels noted on the revisions had been erroneously
classified as homesteaded properties. Mr. Brown and Mr.
Wendt had indicated they believed the front footage
calculations prepared by Staff to be incorrect; however,
upon further investigation it was determined that Staff's
calculations were correct as originally proposed.
Dietz reported that the front footage for the Wagner
property had been recalculated. The original deferment
amount was approximately $12,000. The amount to be
deferred had been reduced to $6,149. Dietz stated that
the reduction in the assessment was calculated based on
the fact that if the right-of-way for Scenic Heights Road
were extended across the Wagner property the northern
portion, or approximately 324 feet, would not receive
benefit and, therefore, should not be assessed. Based on
this figure the total frontage to be assessed would be 500
feet, which reduced the total assessment from the original
amount of $15,590.08 to the current figure of $9,460.00.
Dietz stated that this proposal had been presented to Mr.
Wagner on the telephone.
Steve Wagner, 8430 Eden Prairie Road, stated that until
the past Friday, Staff had not notified him of the
proposal. Wagner requested that this item be continued
for an additional 30 days to allow him adequate time to
thoroughly investigate the legalities of this issue.
Wagner believed that the assessment was still too high
and, based on conversations and a recommendation from the
ZIJ
City Council Minutes 4 October 3, 1989
t City of Minnetonka, wanted time to consider having an ,
t outside appraiser evaluate this item at a cost shared with
the City.
Peterson asked if the City were under any time
constraints. Dietz replied that the assessments had to be
filed with Hennepin County by October 9, 1989. Dietz
added that Mr. Wagner had been given the figures on
Friday. Wagner replied that he had not been given exact
figures and had only been told on Friday that the
assessment would be prorated.
Dietz believed that the original $15,000 assessment would
be of benefit to the property. He added that without
utilities the property was farmland. Property in this
area was currently selling for approximately $40,000 per
acre. Dietz further believed that Staff had made a good
faith effort to reach a compromise on this item and did
not believe that another 30 days would prove beneficial in
reaching an agreement. Dietz noted that the appeal
process was an option for Mr. Wagner. Dietz believed that
the assessment of $9,460 was a reasonable assessment for
this parcel.
Pidcock asked for an opinion from the City Attorney. City
Attorney Pauly replied that the appeal process was an
option for Mr. Wagner and that the appeal should be filed
within 30 days of this hearing.
Harris asked if within the 30-day period the City could
consider this item further and make corrections if so
determined. Pauly replied that the assessments would be
certified as adopted by the City. He added that the
landowner can preserve the rights for review by a court
appeal. Pauly stated that this would not preclude the
City from determining if errors had been made.
Peterson stated that the Council had to either approve or
adjust the assessment amounts at this meeting in order to
be certified for the 1989 assessment roll.
Tenpas stated that this item could be held over for the
1990 assessment roll. Pauly noted that interest would not
begin until January 1, 1991 if the assessment were held
over until 1990. Tenpas stated that he appreciated the
Staff's efforts to reach a compromise; however, he was
unclear on the benefit or detriment to the property.
Tenpas recommended further review during a 30-day interim.
Dietz stated that if the assessment were approved and
certified, the City would at least have something on
record; if the assessment was not certified by October 9,
1989, nothing could be assessed until 1990. Dietz added
that a correction could be made if an error was found
zac1
City Council Minutes 5 October 3, 1989
after the assessment was certified, but if no assessment
was certified at this time, the assessment could not be
made until 1990.
Wagner believed that it would only be common courtesy for
the City to allow him adequate time to determine if this
assessment amount was a fair amount and time to get a
second opinion. Wagner added that he did not wish to get
into a legal battle with the City.
Dietz stated that the assessment figures had not changed
by more than $1,000 from the time of the feasibility
hearing which was held last fall.
Jullie asked Pauly that if Mr. Wagner had an appraisal
done prior to the 30-day limit for an appeal, could a
correction be made to the assessment if necessary. Pauly
replied yes.
Anderson believed that because Staff agreed that another
30 days would actually be available to Wagner to
substantiate the need for a correction he would support
approval of the assessment as proposed.
{
Dietz reported that I.C. 52-149 had a correction: the
Nelsons had connected to the watermain and, therefore, the
deferment was changed from the deferment column for 1995
to be assessed in 1990. Dietz stated that on the
supplement page under trunk, sewer and water, both the
Michabee and the Nelson properties should be deferred with
interest until development. Dietz stated that under
lateral exclusion, the Northwest Racquet Club had
purchased the property and the exclusion was being picked
up by the club.
There were no further comments from the audience.
MOTION:
Anderson moved, seconded by Harris to close the public
hearing and adopt Resolution No. 89-199 approving the 1989
Special Assessment Rolls to include Staff recommendations.
Tenpas asked Pauly for clarification that Wagner would
have 30 days to try to justify a modification to the
assessment roll before beginning the appeal process.
Pauly replied that this was correct.
Wagner requested that he be provided with a copy of the
information which had been provided to the Council
regarding the assessment.
Motion carried 4-0-1. Peterson abstained.

City Council Minutes 6 October 3, 1989
B. ,SHORES OF MITCHELL LAKE by Mr. USHOT. Request for Zoning
District Change from Rural and R1-22 to R1-13.5 on 94.8
acres with Shoreland variances to be reviewed by the Board
of Appeals, Preliminary Platting of 94.8 acres into 175
single-family lots, 3 outlots, and road right-of-way,
Environmental Assessment Worksheet Review on 94.8 acres as
part of a 450-acre phased action E.A.W for construction of
residential development. Location: South of State
Highway #5 and west of Mitchell Lake. (Ordinance No. 37-
89 - Rezoning; Resolution No. 89-210 - Preliminary Plat;
Resolution No. 89-211 - Finding of No Significant Impact
for EAW)
Jullie reported that notice of the public hearing had been
mailed to 18 surrounding property owners and published in
the September 20, 1989 issue of the Eden Prairie News.
Jack Buxel, representing the proponent, presented the
plans for the 95-acre site and the topography of the
property. The tree inventory showed that the vast
majority of the property was open, with the trees being
clustered in a stand and along the knoll. There would be
3 basic market types of homes with the most expensive
homes being developed along the lakeshore, then a tier of
lots approximately 15,000 square feet, and the third tier
approximately 13,500 square feet. A trail would be
{ provided to connect the City's trail systems. The south
point, 100 feet of lakeshore, and 1/2 of the north knoll
would be dedicated to the City. This dedication on the
south bay would complete the park for the City and would
allow the City to control the bay area. This dedication
would also allow for preservation of the trees and the
knoll. Two lots would share a driveway to save additional
trees. The proposed tree loss would be 22%. The
replacement of the trees would occur mainly along Highway
5 along with a sound abatement berm. The total project
consisted of 174 lots. The lakeshore lots did not meet
the minimum shoreline ordinance of 40,000 square feet;
however, the proponent believed that because of the
dedication of the property to the City and the remainder
of the lakeshore property, it would meet the objective of
the ordinance. Buxel said that out of the 5000 feet of
lakeshore, approximately 2600 feet would be dedicated to
the City. A connection to Dell Road would also be made.
Lee Johnson, representing the proponent, stated that he
did not agree with the City on two points. Johnson
believed that the sequential staging of development should
be modified. He believed that the development
construction work should be able to be done concurrently
with the highway construction. Johnson did not believe
that the Final Plat was the proper place to have the
controls for development.
City Council Minutes 7 October 3, 1989
Enger reported that this item was reviewed by the Planning
Commission on June 12, July 10, August 14, and finally on
September 11, 1989. The plans had gone through revisions
during this process. The Planning Commission recommended
approval of the request for zoning district change with
shoreland variances to be reviewed by the Board of Appeals
and Adjustments based on the plans submitted September 11,
1989. The additions to the Staff Report recommendations
were that:
1. The design of the fence to be reviewed by and meet
EPA standards.
2. The developer should work with City Staff as to
the design and the aesthetics of the fence.
3. The maintenance of the temporary road shall be
the responsibility of the developer.
The Planning Commission approved the proposal with a 4-0-0
vote. Enger reviewed the main points presented in a
summary memo from Senior Planner Mike Franzen dated
September 28, 1989. Enger emphasized that according to
the Southwest Area Study no more than 100 units would be
allocated for this project and 250 units total for the
entire lA Section. Enger stated Staff recommended that a
fair way to determine the number of units for each
developer was to prorate the number of units based on a
per acreage allotment at approximately 1 unit per acre.
Based on this calculation US Homes which had 96 acres
could be allocated 100 units until Dell Road was
completed. The 1st Phase would have 55 units and the 2nd
Phase would consist of 45 units when the temporary
connection was made to Dell Road; however, because Dell
Road was not extended into this area presently, it would
require that Dell Road construction be completed.
Enger noted that cooperation was required of the developer
for the frontage road construction to connect to Highway
5. This would require that some grading would be
necessary within the project prior to the completion of
Highway 5 and the intersection of Dell Road.
Enger stated that Staff was concerned about the control
the City would have if based on occupancy as Johnson
recommended as to who the City would deal with regarding
Final Plats, the builders or homeowners. The builders and
homeowners would need to be made aware of the restrictions
on the parcels. Enger stated that if a special document
could be prepared and the number of units was limited,
this could be a workable situation for US Homes. The
final details for this recommendation had not been worked
out at this time.
Lambert reported that the major issues for this project
were trees and trails. Lambert viewed the plan positively
as it provided an extension to Miller Park, preserved a
City Council Minutes 8 October 3, 1989
significant number of trees, and provided an 8-foot trail
• connection. The Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources
Commission recommended approval unanimously at its
September 18, 1989 meeting based on the September 15, 1989
Staff Report.
Tenpas asked when Dell Road would be completed. Dietz
replied that the bid opening was scheduled for March 1990
and that the intersection could be completed in December
1990. Tenpas then asked when the loop with Scenic Heights
Road would be completed. Dietz replied that County Road 4
needed to be improved before Dell Road was completed.
Dietz added that Hennepin County was reluctant to make any
commitments on County Road 4. Tenpas stated that this
could mean that the completion of Dell Road could be 4 to
5 years away. Dietz replied yes. Tenpas asked if a
temporary outlet could be made to County Road 4. Dietz
replied that if the marketing of these homes progressed as
expected, the City would probably be pressured to do
something prior to 1993.
Harris asked for further details on the recorded document
to be filed on these lots. Enger replied that the
proponent and Staff had discussed the possibility of
construction of a few units with special recorded
documents because additional parties other than the City
y and the developer could be involved in the Final Plat
process. These documents would allow for the construction
of model homes and would also apply to the subdivision
proposed by Tandem Properties. Enger noted that Staff
recommended that these special recorded documents be
allowed for no more than 10 units. Harris was concerned
about this because more than one developer was proposing
development in this area at the same time. Enger
recommended that no occupancy permits be issued until
significant completion of the intersection of Highway 5
and County Road 4.
Peterson was concerned about control by certificates of
occupancy because residents had been known to move into
homes without these certificates. Peterson was concerned
that an orderly, staged development in the best interest
of the City had not been agreed upon at this time.
Johnson replied that he believed that an agreement was
close to being reached. Johnson added that an interim
proposal was to install a turn lane onto Highway 5 at Dell
Road prior to the full upgrading of the intersection.
Johnson recommended that no building permits be allowed
until completion of the turn lane and that the permits be
limited to 10 until the intersection was totally upgraded.
Johnson requested that 55 lots be platted with 10 building
permits being issued, but no occupancy permits issued.
Peterson was concerned that once 55 lots were final
platted, what control the City would have to limit the
•
?au
City Council Minutes 9 October 3, 1989 j
11, amount of construction. Peterson noted that this area was
special because of the contingency for improvements prior
to development. Johnson replied that occupancy could not
take place prior to utilities and paved streets being
provided.
Enger stated that an agreement was close. The issue was
actually the degree of control desired by the City. Enger !
recommended approval of the preliminary plat of all lots,
and approval of a final plat with 55 lots but a covenant
with the final plat to include construction on only 10
lots.
A brief recess was held to allow Staff and the proponent
arrive at an acceptable solution regarding platting and
permits.
Enger reported that the consensus was that a Final Plat be
granted for 55 lots, that the Final Plat not be released
by the Engineering Department to Hennepin County until the
proponent had determined which 10 lots would be sold to
the builders, and the restrictive covenants which would
preclude building permits from being issued until the Dell
Road intersection had been completed on the remaining 45
lots. Enger added that no occupancy permits would be
issued for the 10 lots until the Dell Road intersection
was completed.
Pidcock asked what would happen if Dell Road were not
completed as anticipated. Enger replied that only the
Dell Road intersection was being considered. Enger added
that the risk was that of the developer and if the
improvements were put off indefinitely the developer would
need to return to the City Council.
Randy Capeski, Box 243, Afton, Minnesota, stated that he
owned property adjacent to this development. Capeski
asked for clarification on the alignment of Dell Road and
who would be responsible for the construction. Dietz
explained the location of the alignment for Dell Road and
added that the first section of construction was the
responsibility of MnDOT; the City of Eden Prairie would be
responsible for the next section, for which a feasibility
study was being prepared by Staff. Dietz clarified that
the construction would not go through Capeski's property.
Dietz recommended that Capeski come into the City offices
and discuss this further with Staff.
Jim Ostenson, partner of Tandem Properties, stated that he
was in agreement with the proposal this evening and the
allocation of the building permits. Ostenson stated that
he was concerned about the future development of this
whole area and the timing of the development. He added
that the land can only be partially developed, yet sewer
City Council Minutes 10 October 3, 1989
and water would be installed and assessments would begin.
All of the landowners had petitioned the City to have the
improvements made. Ostenson was concerned that the !$
frontage road would be constructed, the maximum number of pp
units developed, and the remainder of the property would f.
be sitting with assessments and taxes accumulating and not
be allowed to develop. Ostenson stated that he would like
to see the City look at alternative ways to connect Scenic
Heights Road and Dell Road. Ostenson believed that this
portion of Eden Prairie was being held hostage by other
government bodies.
There were no further comments from the audience.
MOTION:

Jullie reported that official notice of the public hearing
was mailed to 7 property owners and published in the
September 27, 1989 issue of the Eden Prairie News.
Don Patton, representing the proponent, stated that the
proposal had been reviewed by the Planning Commission at
four separate meetings and also reviewed by the Parks,
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission. Patton said
that the project was very complex and that the plans had
been revised in accordance with the recommendations of
Staff and the Planning Commission. Patton believed that
this project would be important to the City for the
location of Dell Road and stated that a portion of this
parcel would be dedicated for the construction of Dell
Road. Patton stated that the Zoning District requests had
been changed for the R1-9.5 to 13.9 acres with 40 lots and
the R1-13.5 zoning to 18.9 acres with 40 lots. Because of
the above-referenced changes the Preliminary Plat request
was for a total of 80 lots, not 76 lots as originally
proposed. Patton presented a brief history of the
location of the MUSA Line. He stated that the proponent
could have requested to develop areas within the MUSA
Line; however, it had chosen to develop the property
outside the MUSA Line, which was adjacent to Dell Road.
Mike Black, representing the proponent, presented the plan
details for the project. The proponent would be
requesting a variance from the Shoreland Ordinance for
smaller lot frontages along Rice Marsh Lake, and proposed
to offer in trade the dedication of Outlot B to the City
for park land and a public trail system. Outlot A would
be platted for future development. Berming along the
northern boundary would be approximately 6 feet high to
provide a transition between the industrial area and the
single-family units and the berms along Dell Road would be
approximately 4 to 8 feet high to provide a buffer for the
single-family units. Black stated that the tree inventory
had been completed for Phase I. The depth of the lots
along the Rice Marsh lakeshore had been increased based on
the recommendation from the Planning Commission. Black
City Council Minutes 12 October 3, 1989
noted that the berming issue adjacent to DataSery was
critical and the details were yet to be determined.
Enger reported that the Planning Commission had reviewed
this item at the June 12, July 10, August 14, and
September 11, 1989 meetings. The Planning Commission had
voted for denial of the project at the September 11, 1989
meeting with a 4-0 vote. Enger noted that the majority of
discussion centered on the MUSA Line change because the
Planning Commission believed that without an expansion of
the MUSA Line, the development could not proceed as
proposed. The Planning Commission did make suggestions on
all of the requests so that if the City Council decided to
approve the MUSA Line change that the project could
proceed with the zoning and platting requests. The State
Law only required that the Planning Commission had
reviewed the zoning and platting issues in a Public
Hearing process and did not require that positive action
be taken. Enger reviewed the reasons for denial which
were outlined in the September 11, 1989 Planning
Commission minutes. Enger reviewed the possible MUSA Line
issues which had been outlined in the Planning Staff
Report dated September 8, 1989. Enger stated that the
City needed the cooperation of the Tandem and the US Home
projects to construct the frontage road in this area.
Enger noted that the recommendation of Staff and the
Southwest Area Study regarding phasing of this project did
not agree with that which was being proposed by the
proponent at this time.
Dick Feerick, representing the proponent, stated that Mr.
Schroers and his two sons were available to answer
questions. Feerick stated that this was an infill piece
of property. Feerick said that the Metropolitan Council
supported the development of Highway 212 and Highway 5 and
that Dell Road would serve as a collector road between
these two major roads. Feerick believed that Metropolitan
Council would look favorably on a minor amendment for
under 40 acres, which was what would be presented.
Feerick believed that Dell Road was needed for the logical
development of this area. Feerick noted that to be
allowed to continue working with the Metropolitan Council
the proponent needed a supportive decision from the City
of Eden Prairie. He added that a private property owner
could not go to Metropolitan Council on its own without
the support of the City. Feerick believed that the
phasing issues could be worked out with Staff.
Lambert reported that the Parks, Recreation, & Natural
Resources Commission did not make a recommendation
regarding the MUSA Line expansion.
Peterson asked the proponent to address the issue of
possible further requests for expansion of the MUSA Line.
2
City Council Minutes 13 October 3, 1989
Patton presented the Council with a construction schedule.
Patton added that the proponent would like to begin
construction in 1990. This 32.8 acres of property would
be developed first and then the Jacques/Delegard parcel.
Peterson asked what was proposed for development further
to the west. Patton replied that the proponent would
return to the Council at a later date with additional
phases. Feerick stated that as a logical sequence of
development would need to be substantiated to the
Metropolitan Council, an additional request for 30 acres
could be done in 1992 and another 30 acres in 1995.
Feerick added that the City Staff and Council would be in
control of further phasing.
Tenpas believed that other developers within the MUSA Line
would be handicapped if this proposal was approved due to
the restricted number of homes allowed. Ostenson,
representing Tandem Properties, replied that Tandem
Properties would be the first development along Highway 5.
Ostenson added that it was important to have the
cooperation of all the land owners in this area to make
the road, water, and sewer connections. Ostenson believed
that if Dell Road were to be extended that it would only
be fair to allow development of this property because of
assessments, whether it was inside or outside of the MUSA
Line.
Peterson asked what the current inventory was for
developable lots and how the addition of these lots would
affect development within the MUSA Line. Enger replied
that Staff suggested that a development rights trade be
negotiated so that the proponent would forego its right to
develop its land holdings in Section lA of the Southwest
Area Study for the right to develop this 32.8-acre parcel.
The cap for unit development in this area is 250 units at
this time. Peterson asked the proponent if this type of
trade would be acceptable. Feerick replied yes.
Anderson asked the exact location of the lots to be
involved in the trade. Enger replied that the lots were
to be within Section lA of the Southwest Area Study.
Anderson asked if a letter of agreement for the land trade
was available at this time. Enger replied that a letter
from the attorney representing the mortgagees only stated
that they were considering the request.
Pidcock questioned if it would not be appropriate to have
a letter of agreement regarding a 16-acre land trade in
hand before taking action on this proposal. Feerick
replied that it would helpful in dealing with the
Metropolitan Council if the City's position was known on
the issue of the MUSA Line Change first.
City Council Minutes 14 October 3, 1989
Peterson believed that the benefits for a MUSA Line change
as noted in the Staff Report were significant. Peterson
asked if there could be precedent-setting issues that the
Council was not aware of. Enger believed that all the
issues were addressed in the Staff Report.
Tenpas believed that this was a unique parcel in that the
City's trunk sewer line was outside the MUSA.
Anderson asked how much extra traffic would be added to
Highway 5 by this proposal. Enger replied approximately
800 trips. Anderson then asked if there would be any
adverse affect for the water and sewer lines. Dietz
replied that the watermain would not be available until
August 1990. Anderson asked if this would put an extra
strain on the City. Dietz replied no, not once the
Highway 5 project was completed.
Harris believed that a sufficient case could be presented
to the Metropolitan Council. Harris added that the
information regarding the 16-acre trade should be included
in the presentation to the Metropolitan Council.
Peterson stated that the proponent would have to impress
upon the Metropolitan Council the importance of this
trade. Peterson believed that the risk would be for that
of the proponent. Peterson added that he would like more
assurance that the City would not be pressured next year
to extend the MUSA Line again or to increase the amount of
lots allowed for development. Patton replied that the
phasing after this proposal would be to develop within the
MUSA Line.
Tenpas believed that the MUSA Line should match the trunk
sewer line. Peterson stated that this would represent too
large of an amendment and would probably not be approved
by the Metropolitan Council and secondly that the City
would lose control regarding requests for further
development.
Mr. Schroers, 8080 184th Avenue West, explained the
history of the MUSA Line from his involvement starting in
1946. Schroers believed that since the MUSA Line had been
changed once it should be able to be changed again.
Anderson asked the price range of the homes. Patton
replied that the homes would be constructed by New Concept
Homes and would be priced between $125,000 and $200,000.
Anderson was concerned about the size of the home on a Ri-
9.5 lot. Anderson believed that a $125,000 home on a Ri-
9.5 lot defeated the purpose of R1-9.5 zoning. Anderson
further believed that it was important to provide
affordable housing.
City Council Minutes 15 October 3, 1989
Peterson asked how many square feet could be built in a
house for $125,000. Bob Bjorkland replied that the houses 1.
would be approximately 1300 to 1600 square feet in floor
space. He added that it would be difficult to construct a
quality home priced below $125,000 on these lots.
Tenpas stated that the land cost factor for Eden Prairie
needed to be taken into consideration in the price range
of the homes.
Patton stated that the proponent had been requested to
install sidewalks, which increased the price of the lots.
Patton added that if the City's requirements were lessened
the cost of the lots could be reduced.
Peterson stated that in Eden Prairie a $125,000 home was a 1'
starter home. He added that 1300 to 1600 square feet was
not a large home.
Anderson stated that he would like to see a footprint plan 1
for the houses. Anderson was concerned that this section
of the City would be concentrated with R1-9.5 housing. He
added that the R1-9.5 zoning seemed to be concentrated in
the western and northern sections of the City. Anderson
believed that careful placement of the R1-9.5 zoning
needed to take place in order to provide a good mix.
Peterson asked Enger if the Planning Commission would like
to review the plans again if the MUSA Line change were
approved by the Council. Enger replied no.
Randy Capeski, Box 243, Afton, believed that the MUSA Line
expansion would not be in best interest of the City.
Capeski was concerned about the increase in traffic. He
believed that this should be continued until it was
determined exactly what would be done with Dell Road.
Capeski was concerned about who represented the private
landowners in this area. Peterson recommended that
Capeski meet with Staff to discuss these issues further.
George Bentley, 10800 Fieldcrest Road, believed that in
the long term the MUSA Line should be moved all the way to
the City limits; however, this was not appropriate at this
time. He believed that the MUSA Line was an arbitrary
line. Bentley believed that Dell Road needed to be
constructed and assessments were necessary to accomplish
this. He added that upgrading County Road 4 needed to be
addressed as soon as possible and that the City needed to
take a strong position; however, the entire development of
this area should not be contingent on the upgrading of
County Road 4. Bentley commented that regarding the R1-
9.5 zoning issue, many of the lots in the Preserve area
were Zoned R1-13.5 but through density transfers were
developed as R1-9.5 or less.
31
City Council Minutes 16 October 3, 1989
Lambert reported that the Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission had discussed the possibility of a
trail along the Lakeshore and accepting land in lieu of
park fees. He added that the City would obtain permits
needed to construction an 8' asphalt trail. Lambert
believed that this was a valuable piece of property for
Cash Park Fees. The proponent would be getting credit for
the land dedication to the City for the trail by having
the lot frontage sizes reduced from the requirement of the
Shoreland Ordinance. The Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission recommended approval of the
development proposal with the condition that the Cash Park
Fees be reduced by $100 at the park fee in effect at the
time of building permit issuance as a credit for the strip
of land for trails.
Enger stated that the proponent still needed to provide
Staff with information on a number of items, including a
revised buffer plan for the lots in the northern section
and an architectural variety plan for the R1-9.5 area.
Enger noted that it was important that the proponent
adhere to the phasing schedule outlined in the Staff
Report. Enger added that the Council needed to consider
if an 80 lot trade would be acceptable for the Southwest
Area Study. He noted that the Planning Commission in
general had concurred that a full trade as originally
proposed by the proponent would be favorable, and further
that the case presented by the proponent to the
Metropolitan Council should be able to support a full 32-
acre trade. Enger stated that this development would set
a precedent for development of the remainder of the
Schroers property.
Peterson asked if the three remaining issues could be
resolved during a short break. Enger replied that the
proponent had agreed to provide the architectural variety
plan and revised buffer plan; however, the remaining issue
was the phasing schedule. The proponent currently planned
to request 10 occupancy permits by the fall of 1990;
however, according to the Southwest Area Study, no final
platting of lots was to occur prior to the completion of
improvements of the intersection of Trunk Highway #5 and
County Road #4, which was not expected to be completed
until late 1990.
Pidcock stated that the Council had just approved the
issuance of 10 occupancy permits for the Shores of �.
Mitchell Lake Project. Enger replied that what had been
approved was the issuance of 10 building permits for the
fall of 1990, with no occupancy permits issued prior to
the completion of the Dell Road intersection. Enger noted
that this accelerated program had been approved because of
the need for the frontage road.-
(,3n
City Council Minutes 17 October 3, 1989
Tenpas asked if this proposal would accelerate the
extension of Dell Road. Enger replied that it accelerated
the need for extension of Dell Road further south than
would otherwise be necessary. Enger added that with or
without this proposal Dell Road would be extended south of
the US Homes development. Dietz stated that Dell Road
needed to be a City project in this area because the
right-of-way was on other private property. Dietz added
that the schedule for construction would be part of the
feasibility study.
A brief recess was taken for Staff and the proponent to
discuss further the phasing schedule.
Enger reported that the proponent had agreed to accept a
similar plan as US Homes in that no occupancy permits
would be issued, 10 building permits would be issued, and
final plat would not be released until restrictive
covenants had been filed on the balance of 70 lots. He
added that this would further be contingent on approval of
the MUSA Line change by the Metropolitan Council.
There were no further comments from the audience.

(Ordinance No. 38-89 - Rezoning)
Jullie reported that notice of the Public Hearing had been
mailed to 6 adjacent property owners and published in the
September 20, 1989 issue of the Eden Prairie News.
Mr. Peterson, representing the proponent, stated that this
was a pilot project for Homart Development. The daycare
center inside the mall would be moved outside and the Kids
Club would be constructed inside the mall and an extensive
promotion program was planned. The proponent would like
to complete the project as soon as possible so that the
Kids Club could be ready for this holiday season and,
therefore, was requesting an early grading permit and
early foundation construction permit.
Enger reported that the Planning Commission had reviewed
this item at its September 11, 1989 and recommended
approval unanimously based on the recommendations outlined
in the Staff Report. Enger stated that regarding the
early grading permit and foundation work, this same
proponent had requested an early permit in May 1989 and
all requirements were met.
Harris believed that daycare services were needed in the
community.

E. TECH 10 by Hoyt Development Company. Request for Zoning
District Change, from Rural to I-2 on 5.6 acres,
Preliminary Plat of 5.6 acres into one lot, Site Plan
Review of 5.6 acres for construction of a 73,367 square
foot office warehouse. Location: 74th Street and Golden
Triangle Drive. (Ordinance - No. 39-89 - Rezoning;
Resolution No. 89-212 - Preliminary Plat)
Jullie reported that notice of this public hearing was
mailed to 6 property owners and published in the September
20, 1989 issue of the Eden Prairie News.
Bob Smith, representing the proponent, presented the plans
for 73,367 square-foot office/warehouse complex. A tenant
had signed a 20 year lease agreement for the building.
The potential tenant had 52 employees. 90 parking spaces
would be provided with additional proof-of-parking. Mass
grading would occur on the site with 479 caliper inches of
trees being removed. The tree replacement would take
place on both Tech 9 and Tech 10. Three loading docks
would be located on the north side of the building.
Berming would be placed close to the building to reduce
the mass appearance. The lighting proposed would match
that of the existing Technology Park projects. Because of
the tenant's wish to obtain occupancy in December the
proponent was requesting an early grading permit, a
foundation permit, and a shell permit. The proposal was
in compliance with all zoning requirements.
Enger reported that this issue was reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its September 11 and September 25,
1989 meetings and recommended approval of the project with
a 4-0-0 vote subject to the recommendations outlined in
the September 8, 1989 Staff Report.
Lambert reported that the Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission reviewed this item at its October 2,
1989 meeting and recommended approval of the proposal
unanimously.
•
City Council Minutes 20 October 3, 1989
Dietz reported that the proponent had a debt of
approximately $30,000 to the City for the design of the
creek crossing for Golden Triangle Drive and out like to •
have a stipulation attached to the Developer's Agreement.
Smith replied that he would have to defer this item to Mr.
Hoyt. Peterson replied that the issuance of early permits
could be contingent on this matter being cleared up.
•
Tenpas asked for further details on what had occurred. •
Dietz replied that as Vantage Companies owned the property
to the north of the creek and the Hoyt Companies the
property to the south, it appeared that the only way to
accomplish a crossing of the creek was for this to be a
City project and apply assessments. During the design
phases, which were extensive, Hoyt and Vantage came to an
agreement to do the project themselves. Engineering costs
had been incurred and the bills had been paid by the City,
and the City would like to be reimbursed. Tenpas asked
why only Hoyt would be held liable for the costs. Dietz
believed that monies were held in joint tenancy between
Hoyt and Vantage for these costs. Dietz added that this
was a petitioned project.
Jullie added that there was a dispute during the design
process; however, there is still a legitimate bill which
needs to be addressed.
Tenpas believed that the responsibility should be partly •
Vantage's as well as Hoyt. Dietz replied that an escrow
account was established between Hoyt and Vantage.
Smith stated that there was litigation in progress
regarding Golden Triangle Drive and urged the Council not
to allow the $30,000 to influence a decision on this
project. Peterson believed that this was an appropriate
time to have the issue resolved.
Tenpas asked if this would come as a complete surprise to
Hoyt. Dietz replied that he had had conversations with
Hoyt regarding this issue; however, he probably would be
surprised that it might be a condition of approval of this
project.
Peterson recommended that this item be resolved prior to
2nd Reading.
Anderson asked if any of the flood plain would be filled.
Smith replied that a small area would require fill and
that this had the approval of the Watershed District.
There were no further comments from the audience.

A. RED ROCK SHORES by Scenic Heights Investment. 2nd Reading
of Ordinance No. 13-89, Zoning District Change from R1-22
to R1-13.5 on 22.97 acres; Approval of Developer's
Agreement for Red Rock Shores; Approval of Land Alteration
Permit for Red Rock Shores; and Adoption of Resolution No.
89-214, Authorizing Summary of Ordinance No. 13-89 and
Ordering Publication of Said Summary. 22.97 acres into 20
single family lots, two outlots, and road right-of-way.
Location: East of County Road #4, north and east of Lake
Shore Drive. (Ordinance No. 13-89 - Rezoning; Resolution
No. 89-214 - Authorizing Summary and Publication)
Jullie reported that this was a 2nd Reading for the Red
Rock Shores proposal. He added that the proponent had
signed the Developer's Agreement and Staff would recommend
li
approval.
City Attorney Pauly stated that the proponent had signed
the agreement; however, there was a recommended change to
Item 1 of the Developer's Agreement. The paragraph should
read: "Developer shall develop the property in ,
a3'?
•
City Council Minutes 22 October 3, 1989
conformance with the materials revised and dated June 15,
1989, reviewed and approved by the City Council on June
20, 1989, and attached hereto as Exhibit B, subject to
such changes and modification as provided herein and 1
further subject to and as modified by the provisions of a
land alteration permit relating to the property."
Pauly noted that both Item VI.A and B. should be
considered together. The materials presented in the
Council package related to the Developer's Agreement, the
2nd Reading of the Rezoning Ordinance and Resolution for
Final Plat approval, and the approval of a land alteration
permit. Pauly believed that the proponent was in
agreement with the City regarding the Developer's
Agreement and the rezoning and final plat items; however,
the land alteration permit had been signed with two
sections stricken. The sections stricken were Section 7
which related to the tree replacement and the last
paragraph of Section 9, which related to security for the
trees addressed in Section 7. Pauly stated that the
proponent believed that the City did not have the
authority to impose the requirement that the trees be
replaced on the property, and if the City did have the
authority to require the replacement of the trees, it did
not have the authority in respect to the building pads as
opposed to the streets and utilities.
George Hoff, attorney representing the proponent, stated
that at the last review of this project by the Council,
two issues were discussed: zoning and subdivision
approval. The zoning was approved without conditions and
the subdivision approval was adopted subject to land swaps
being arranged and a land alteration permit being obtained
subject to the City's tree policy. The proponent received
a Developer's Agreement and signed that agreement without
reservation with the exception of one typographical error.
The signing of the agreement was consistent with what the
Council had directed. There were no impediments based on
the record before the Council todate in respect to the
rezoning that did not now have R1-22 zoning.
Hoff stated that the only issue which remained unresolved
was the Land Alteration Permit. The proponent had excised
Section 7, which parroted the tree policy of the City
(which was not in ordinance form). Hoff understood the
land alteration permit to prescribe that the proponent
would in good faith perform all grading and restoration of
the site, would post an $11,000 bond, and would not damage
any trees outside of the construction zone. Hoff stated
that City Attorney Pauly was correct that it was the
proponent's position that the City was without authority
to impose the tree policy through the land alteration
permit. The standards of judgment of the land alteration
permit and on which a denial could be based included
�c�Z
City Council Minutes 23 October 3, 1989
whether a safety risk were present, undue destruction of
vegetation occurred, proper methods for restoration were
not used, and the land was not zoned for proper use. Hoff
noted that no safety risk was present, additional
conditions were agreed to limit the amount of construction
traffic in the area, and the property was zoned for
appropriate use. Hoff noted that half of the property was
already zoned R1-22. Hoff believed that the Land
Alteration Permit's purpose was to cover regulations for
land alteration for development reasons. The Land
Alteration Permit stated that destruction of vegetation
outside the construction area was not permitted and would
be considered undue destruction of vegetation; Hoff added
that the proponent agreed with this condition.
Hoff said that as he had previously discussed with Staff
and the Council, he did not believe that the City had the
authority to enforce the Tree Replacement Policy based on
State Statue #462.358, which stated the sole authority for
subdivision regulations. The Tree Replacement Policy was
not in ordinance form at this time.
Hoff requested that the Council approve the rezoning based
upon the execution and submission of the Developer's
Agreement as developed by Staff, executed by the
proponent, and tendered to City Attorney Pauly; that the
Land Alteration Permit be approved as amended by the
proponent with the exclusion of Section 7 referencing the
Tree Policy; and that the Final Plat be approved in its
present form.
Dietz reported that the grading plan submitted by the
proponent dated May 11, 1989 did not show the Strawberry
Hills portion of the subdivision, the plan did show some
of the grading necessary on the individual lots and an
asterisk with a notation that stated that initial grading
on lots pads 1 through 6, Block 2, and 1 and 2, Block 3,
would be graded to allow for custom homes, street right-
of-way to be graded only. A new grading plan was
submitted for Council review at the June 20, 1989 meeting,
which depicted the Strawberry Hill subdivision, some of
Red Rock Shore Estates, and removed the grading on the
individual lot pads. Staff understood that the proponent
did not propose to do the initial grading on the lot pads;
however, in all of the other projects to date a grading
plan is submitted and approved which shows the ultimate
grading of the site, such that Staff would have a master
plan of how the development would occur. The Land
Alteration Permit makes reference to both the June 23,
1989 and the May 11, 1989 plans. Staff was asking that
the proponent submit as part of the Land Alteration Permit
an overall grading plan, which would be a Master Plan as
to how the land would be ultimately developed. The
addition of language to the Developer's Agreement was
City Council Minutes 24 October 3, 1989 t.
intended to recognize that the grading plan dated June 15,
1989 was not the ultimate plan for the site and that a
master plan would be required. j
Pauly asked Dietz how Staff determined the grading on
individual lots. Dietz replied that when a building
permit was requested, Staff reviewed the permit, which
included a lot survey and grading plan, for conformance to
the master grading plan. Pauly then asked if there were
separate grading plans issued for individual lots. Dietz
replied no, the grading plan for the overall site was the
typical way to see the grading of the site. Pauly stated
that the overall grading plan for the site carried the
authority to grade the individual lots. Dietz stated that 1
this was correct.
Stuart Fox, City Forester, reported that the Tree
Replacement Policy was based on information from the US
Forestry Department and Agriculture Department. A 20%
random survey of the site was conducted. The tree
inventory was 968 trees, with 3022 diameter inches total
for the one acre surveyed. Fox stated that the entire
site had been traversed. Based on the site review and the
survey the tree inventory for the entire 5.2 acre site was
5,034 trees over 1" in diameter for a total of 16,650
diameter inches. Fox then reviewed the Staff report
prepared by the Planning Department, which depicted a tree
loss of approximately 1,041 diameter inches of significant
trees, or those of 12 inches or better in diameter. Fox
showed the Council a plan which depicted the areas to be
impacted by the road construction or by building pads.
The area to be disturbed by construction activity totaled
1.9 acres. Based on the calculations the total tree loss
would be 1,843 trees, 5,664 diameter inches. Sixty-one
trees, or a total of 1,024 diameter inches would be
considered significant. These figures were within 20
diameter inches of the original estimates. The original
count did not include trees under 12 inches in diameter.
The proposed replacement request was for 462 diameter
inches, which represented only 8% of the total trees which
could be removed from the site.
Peterson asked Fox if there were any state or national
standards to support the formula for replacement
calculations used by Staff. Fox replied that the method
used to determine the tree loss was a common method used
in forestry practices.
Pauly asked Fox if the estimated tree loss for the entire
5.2-acre site was to be 5,034 trees over 1 inch in
diameter. Fox replied yes. Pauly then asked if the total
diameter of the trees would be 16,650 inches. Fox replied
yes. Pauly asked if this amount represented the amount of
destruction to the trees resulting from the development of
7LJQ •
City Council Minutes 25 October 3, 1989
the site. Fox replied yes. Pauly asked if the total
number of trees to be lost due to construction was
estimated at 1,843 trees over 1 inch in diameter, which
represented a total of 5,664 caliper inches. Fox replied
yes. Pauly then asked Fox if he had an opinion of the
effect of the tree loss on the surrounding properties.
Fox replied that the existing subdivision to the south
would be affected by the removal of these trees. Fox
added that the winds from the north, which were now
currently blocked by the existing tree cover, would be
channeled to the homes to the south. A significant amount
of the canopy would be removed. Pauly then asked Fox to
identify the area on the map. Fox showed the location of
the 20-foot-wide canopy of trees in relation to the
subdivision to the south. The print being used was dated
April 18, 1989, prepared by Ron Krueger & Associates, for
the Red Rock Shores Subdivision. Pauly noted that the
print was color-coded and asked Fox for an explanation.
Fox replied that the green area depicted the extent of the
wooded area as indicated by the developer. He added that
the orange area was the tree area to be lost due to
construction of the roads or building pads. Pauly asked
Fox if the destruction of the 1,084 trees would result in
the undue destruction of the environment and, therefore,
would cause harm to the environment. Fox replied that the
loss of the trees would change the wind patterns in this
area. Pauly asked Fox if he would consider this harmful
to the environment. Fox replied yes. Pauly asked Fox if
he would consider the removal of the 1,084 trees to be
undue destruction of vegetation. Fox replied yes.
Hoff asked Fox if the proponent had received a copy of
this report. Fox replied no. Hoff asked Fox when the
report was prepared. Fox replied Friday, September 29,
1989. Hoff then asked Fox if he was aware that this was a
matter in controversy. Fox replied yes. Hoff asked why
the report had not been presented to himself, or the
proponent. Fox replied that the report was submitted
through the Planning Department and Director Chris Enger.
Hoff asked Fox if he had recommended that the report be
submitted to the proponent. Fox replied no. Hoff asked
what type of trees were located on the site. Fox replied
oaks, red oaks, sugar maples, etc. Hoff asked if these
were not considered deciduous trees which lost their
leaves in the winter. Fox replied this was correct. Hoff
asked if the loss of the leaves did not cut down on the
amount of wind blockage significantly during the winter.
Fox replied that it did affect some of the blockage;
however, by opening up the corridor the amount of blockage
would be reduced significantly. Hoff asked if the wind
blockage effect was reduced when the leaves from the trees I
were lost. Fox replied yes. Hoff asked Fox what the
property was zoned.
cul �
City Council Minutes 26 October 3, 1989
( Tenpas stated that he did not wish to make light of the
wind issue; however, he did not consider this to be of
vital importance to this proposal. Tenpas requested that
the presentation move forward.
Hoff concurred with Tenpas that this was a non-issue;
S
however, Staff believed that it was an issue and proved S,'
undue destruction of vegetation. Hoff believed that this
was proceeding along the lines of a "Swanson hearing".
Pauly replied that this was a proceeding designed to have
issues become part of the record. s
Peterson stated that he did not agree that this was a non-
issue item, it was an issue which related to land
alteration. Peterson noted that Hoff had stated at the
beginning of the presentation that this was a legal issue.
Peterson believed that a good- faith effort had been made i
by City Staff to work with the proponent to make 1
modifications, which have not been acceptable to the s
proponent. Peterson did not believe that more questions
or cross-examination were necessary in this setting.
Peterson was prepared to ask for the court's opinion
regarding the City's authority to enforce the Tree
Replacement Policy.
Hoff asked Peterson if he was stating that he did not have
the right to cross-examine Staff any further on this
issue. Peterson replied that he the right to do this;
however, he believed that this should take place in a
legal setting. Pauly recommended that Hoff should be
allowed to ask further questions. Hoff stated that the
Chair viewed the cross-examination as supercilious. I
Peterson replied no.
Hoff asked Fox again if he knew what the property was ;
zoned. Fox replied that he did not know. Hoff then
asked if one of the notations in the Land Alteration
permit standards was the underlying zoning and use of the
property. Fox replied that he did not know. Hoff asked
Fox if he had read the Land Alteration permit standards
prior to preparing his report. Fox replied that his
report was prepared as a supplementary report. Hoff asked
Fox if he would disagree that the property was zoned R1-
22. Fox replied that he did not know the zoning. Hoff
then asked if he understood R1-22 zoning to be residential I
zoning. Fox replied yes. Hoff asked Fox is it was not q
necessary to provide a road and utilities to serve
residential properties not previously developed. Fox e
replied yes. Hoff asked Fox if in providing the roads and ,t
utilities in a heavily wooded area the result would be the
loss of some trees. Fox replied yes. Hoff asked Fox if
the construction of homes and building pads resulted in "-
1. the destruction of some trees. Fox replied yes. Hoff
then asked Fox if the construction of roads, utilities,
1
City Council Minutes 27 October 3, 1989
and house pads, would be considered a permitted use within
that zoning district. Pauly replied that City Forester
Fox might not know the answer and should only answer if he
was sure of the response. Fox believed that the
requirements would be outlined in the Developer's
Agreement. Hoff restated the question to Fox: would the
development of a residential project in a heavily wooded
area result in the destruction of some trees. Fox replied
yes. Hoff asked if that was true of this particular site
outlined in green on the exhibit. Fox replied yes, with
the proper clearance. Hoff asked Fox if it was correct
that he believed that the property owners to the south
would be impacted as a result of northern winds. Fox
replied yes. Hoff asked Fox if to his knowledge the
property owners to the south had any easement or any other
type of interest in real-estate to grant them the right to
maintain the trees on the proponent's property. Fox
replied not to his knowledge.
Pauly asked Hoff if his referral to the rights of the
property owners to the south was direct or through the .
City's Land Alteration permit code. Hoff replied
directly. Pauly asked Hoff if he disputed the City's
authority to control land alteration. Hoff replied that
he did not dispute the City's authority to issue Land
Alteration Permits nor did he dispute that the City was
obligated to follow the standards as set forth in that
portion of the City Code. Hoff believed that the
standards were clearly stated.
Hoff asked Fox in respect to the tunneling effect, would
the roadway being constructed run in a direction from
northwest to southeast. Fox replied yes. Hoff asked Fox
if the total number of trees in the entire area was 5,034.
Fox replied yes. Hoff asked how large an area this
covered. Fox replied 1.9 acres. Hoff then asked how many
residential lots would be created in the green area. Fox
replied 6 lots. Hoff asked if the 6 lots were located on
the 1.9 acres. Fox replied that 1.9 acres of property
would be disturbed. Hoff asked Fox if 1,843 trees would
be disturbed in the wooded area. Fox replied that he
would need to refer to his memorandum. Hoff asked Fox if
the environmental harm would be the wind destruction to
the property to the south. Fox replied that was one
consideration; there were several others.
Harris questioned what this line of questioning had to do
with the City's Tree Replacement Policy. She added that
the City Council would continue to support the current
Tree Replacement Policy as written.
tt Peterson questioned if it was appropriate to continue the
public hearing discussion along these lines. Hoff replied
that a Swanson hearing meant that what would happen in a
•
q
City Council Minutes 28 October 3, 1989
court of law was limited to the record before this
Council. Hoff added that he did not have prior knowledge
of this tree report memorandum, and, therefore, had done a
cold cross-examination of Mr. Fox, which he did not
believe was fair to himself or the proponent. Hoff
stated, if City Attorney Pauly would agree that this was
not to be considered a Swanson hearing and the issue on
this matter was not closed with respect to the Tree
Replacement Policy and undue harm to the environment, he
would be willing to conclude after one additional question
to Mr. Dietz. Pauly replied that he was interested in
hearing the points to be made before going to court.
Pauly added that he would not concede that this was not a
Swanson hearing and believed that Hoff should continue
with questions. Hoff stated that he did not view this as
a Swanson-type hearing due to the failure on the City's
part to provide the necessary underlying documentation.
Hoff asked Dietz for clarification on the Land Alteration
Permit: was the plan as submitted to Staff incomplete.
Dietz replied yes. Hoff then asked Dietz if the need for
additional information had been submitted to Ron Krueger &
Associates prior to this meeting. Dietz replied that
Staff had met with a representative from Ron Krueger &
Associates last Thursday and had requested that the
grading plan include all of the contemplated grading to
take place on the site for both road and utility
construction and home construction. Hoff stated that he
did not know the impact of this at this time. Hoff asked
if the City was requesting only that a master grading plan
be submitted. Dietz replied yes, and added that the two
separate plans needed to be combined into one master plan
so that Staff could see the individual grading for the
pads as well as the road and utility grading to take
place. Hoff asked Dietz if Staff was aware that the
proponent would not be doing the grading on the individual
lots. Dietz replied that it was noted on the May 11, 1989
plan that the grading would be done by others.
Hoff stated that he would like to comment on the findings
and requested a copy.
Pauly stated that a memorandum dated September 27, 1989
from Stu Fox had been provided to the City Council and
attached to this was a summary of the value of trees and
forest lands and which spoke in general of the urban
forest. Pauly asked Fox for an opinion as to whether the
values expressed in the memorandum would be present in the
forests under consideration. Fox replied that the values
of the forest on the Gilk property would be similar to
those described in the memorandum.
$ Pauly asked Dietz to clarify the reference to the
Strawberry Hill project as being encompassed in this plat.
G�i q
•
City Council Minutes 29 October 3, 1989
f Dietz replied that at the initial public hearings on June
t 6, 1989, the Council reviewed 3 separate projects for this
area. The projects were Red Rock Estates, Strawberry
Hill, and Red Rock Shores. Dietz added that during the
interim the proponent for Red Rock Shores had purchased
the Strawberry Hills property and, therefore, the
preliminary plat reviewed as Strawberry Hill would now be
part of the Final Plat for Red Rock Shores. Pauly then
asked if the original property for Red Rock Shores
consisted of 19.77 acres and the property for Strawberry
Hill 3.2 acres, making the total plat now 22.97 acres.
Dietz replied that he did not know the exact figures and
referred that question to Director of Planning Enger.
Enger replied that the figures as stated were correct.
Pauly noted that a copy of the material which had been
provided to the City Council was available at this meeting
and to the public at any time during the meeting. Pauly
referenced pages 2832 through page 2935 from the Council i.
packet.
Hoff asked Fox how many trees would be removed in the
development of the residential project zoned as R1-22.
Fox replied that the number of trees to be removed over 1
inch in diameter would be 1,843. Hoff then asked Fox if
the lots were developed as single-family homes, would it
be possible to replace the trees lost on the lots in
question. Fox replied not as they exist. Hoff asked if
Fox would recommend replanting the trees in another area
of the plat. Fox replied that the recommendation was to
replace the trees in the entrance areas, outlot areas, and
steep slope areas based on the requirements of the City's
Tree Replacement Policy. Hoff then asked if the
replacement would take place away from the heavily wooded
area. Fox replied yes. Hoff asked if some of trees would
actually be replaced on a site not part of this plat. Fox
replied that was not being recommended in this case and
without looking further at the site he could not make a
determination.
Pauly believed that Hoff had implied that by virtue of
platting and/or zoning a property owner had the right to
alter the land. Pauly asked Dietz if he understood the
City Code to allow for such rights without a Land
Alteration Permit. Hoff believed that this would require
a legal opinion from Dietz. Hoff did not believe that the
Land Alteration Permit section of the Code was relevant.
Pauly believed that Hoff had argued previously that by
virtue of zoning and plat approval the City did not have
the authority over land alteration. Hoff replied that his
point had been that if the City Code provision were
interpreted in plain English, the City Code talked about
undue destruction of trees based upon the underlying
zoning of the property. Hoff added it would be necessary
b4c
l
City Council Minutes 30 October 3, 1989
( to remove trees to develop the property in question with el
R1-22 zoning. Hoff believed that "undue" was the key
word. Pauly did not see any reference to "undue". 1
Pauly read and reviewed the "Findings, Conclusions, and
Decision". Pauly noted that this draft had been prepared
based on approval of rezoning and platting. Pauly stated
that regarding Item 4 it was the proponent's contention
that there would be no grading other than for the streets
and the utilities. Pauly suggested that this argument
would be similar to the argument that a storm sewer would l
only apply to the water which rushes down the streets and
not that which flows off the property which was developed.
Pauly emphasized the conclusion stated on Page 3, "The
functional, aesthetic, and economic values of trees
enhance not only the land on which they are grown, but 1
adjacent lands and neighborhoods as well.". Regarding
Item 7, Subsection 2, Pauly stated that the word "undue"
would not necessary qualify all harm to the environment. I
Pauly requested that a new paragraph be added as Item 8 to
read as follows: "The destruction of the 1,843 trees by
the alteration of the property will cause undue
destruction of vegetation and trees on the property and
will cause harm to the environment." Pauly added the
addition would address the criteria of the City Code. The
remaining paragraphs would be renumbered. Pauly stated
that the a correction should be noted in the Decision I
Section, "herein" should be changed to "therein". f
Hoff stated that there was no reference shown that the
City had a conservancy easement nor fee or other ownership j
interests in the property. He added that there had been
no recommendations shown to develop this property in i.
accordance with zoning without destruction of some
vegetation. Hoff questioned the finding that the trees
should be replaced on the property in light of Fox's
testimony that it would be difficult to replace all of the a
trees on the property. He added that Senior Planner, Mike i
Franzen, had also made reference in other meetings that
the trees would have to be replaced off-site. Hoff
believed that the Council needed to view the intention of
the Land Alteration Permit as a whole in which it dealt
with the utilization of the property as contemplated in 1
zoning. Hoff believed that the way the Land Alteration j8181
Permit was signed, undue destruction of vegetation would
be avoided with the provision of construction limits. d
Hoff requested that the Land Alteration Permit be issued
as submitted by the proponent with the amendment.
Pauly described the Swanson case, as containing criteria
for subdivision of property in Bloomington, which was
( based on language close to that of Eden Prairie's
ordinance. He added that the Swanson case went before the
Supreme Court because of a denial by Bloomington of a
YUG
City Council Minutes 31 October 3, 1989
request for subdivision of property based on tree lose and
harm to the environment. The Supreme Court upheld the
decision by Bloomington to deny the subdivision.
Peterson asked Pauly if the motions prepared in the Agenda
packet were properly worded and would cover all the
necessary items. Pauly replied yes and added that the
order of approvals should be to approve the rezoning: the
Developer's Agreement with the amendment to the first
paragraph, first sentence, to read: and further subject to
and as modified by the provisions of the Land Alteration
Permit relating to the property; the adoption of
Resolution No. 89-214; the adoption of Resolution No. 89-
206; and the adoption of the Findings, Conclusions, and
Decision as presented to the Council with amendments
suggested by the City Attorney.
Tenpas asked the proponent if the dispute was the amount
of trees to be replaced or the bonding required by the
City. Hoff replied that the proponent did not believe the
City had the authority to require the replacement. Hoff
added that the original objection was that because the .
proponent was not developing the building pads himself;
as a compromise position only the trees in the road right-
of-way would be replaced by him.
Pidcock stated that she did not agree that the City did
not have the authority to enforce the tree replacement
policy.

t! MOTION:
Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock to approve Items A
through T on the Consent Calendar.
ITEM C
Harris asked if the City was going to extend the sidewalk.
Dietz replied that the residents in the Village Green
development had filed a petition requesting that the
interior sidewalk system not be required as originally
planned. He added that $15,000 had been placed in escrow
and it was Staff's recommendation that the sidewalk along
Golf View Drive be extended and the remainder of the
interior system not be required.
Pidcock believed that the possible future needs of the
neighborhood should be considered and in the future it was
possible that more small children would live in this
neighborhood. Dietz replied that the developer had placed
a number of trees in the right-of-way which would need to
be removed. He added that this was a quiet street and the
majority of property owners did not want an interior
sidewalk system.
ITEM K
Peterson asked for further detail regarding the Fire
Protection System for Modern Tire. Dietz replied there
?Ia
City Council Minutes 4 March 13, 1990
was a provision in Chapter 429 of the Minnesota Statutes
which allowed cities to assess for a fire protection
system. The procedure would be that a special assessment
hearing would be held as soon as the appeal period had
run, the contractor would be paid, and the amount would be
collected with taxes.
ITEM L
Pidcock asked Dietz what the original amount of the
assessment. Dietz replied that the original assessment
had been approximately $12,800 and had been reduced by
$5,500.
Motion to approve the Consent Calendar carried
unanimously.

South of Crosstown #62, north of Bryant Lake, west of Nine
Mile Creek. (Ordinance No. 4-90 - Zoning District
Amendment) Continued from February 20, 1990 Council
meeting
Jullie reported that this item had been continued to allow i.
time to resolve issues related to screening and drainage
on the adjoining property of Mr. Poupard.
Tracy Whitehead, representing the International School,
stated that she had met with Mr. Poupard as requested by
the Council at the last meeting. An engineer had been
hired to investigate the drainage issue and had determined
that a drainage problem did not exist. Whitehead stated
that since the time of the July 1987 superstorm sod had
been added, curb and gutters were placed on the road, and
an additional catch basin had been installed. Regarding
the landscape issue Whitehead reported that a landscape
architect had been hired and it was recommended that 22
arborvitae trees be planted shoulder to shoulder to
correct the headlight and screening issue. Whitehead
stated that Mr. Poupard did not view this as an acceptable
solution and the International School recommended that an
additional 12 trees. Whitehead said that the
International School wanted to be a good neighbor and •
would request approval of Phase II.
Peterson asked Enger if Staff had been involved in the
meeting between the proponent and the International
School. Enger replied that Staff had discussed the issues

with each party individually and had developed a separate
analysis. Staff's conclusion was that while additional
evergreens would help, it would not completely solve the
problem with headlights. Enger added that Staff had
recommended the construction of a fence; however, the i
International School preferred to use trees.
I
Gerald Duffy, representing Mr. Poupard, stated that Mr.
Poupard shared the City Staff's view that a fence would be j
a preferable alternative to the trees. Duffy added that
Mr. Poupard's first choice was that an earth berm be
constructed. Duffy said that Mr. Poupard was willing to
try the solution as presented by the International School;
however, if it did not work to the satisfaction of Mr.
Poupard, he would return to the City for further action.
Mr. Poupard stated that prior to the road being
constructed he looked down over the edge of his property
and presently he looks up at the road. Poupard was
concerned that a grading plan had not been filed prior to
the construction of the road.
Pidcock asked City Attorney Pauly to respond to the letter
presented at this hearing by the International School's
attorney. Pauly stated that he had just received the
letter and would need to further review the provisions of
the Site Plan Ordinance. Pauly added that he did not
believe that the language in the Developer's Agreement
addressed Mr. Poupard's claims.
Peterson asked Pauly if it would be his recommendation not
to take action on this item this evening. Pauly replied
yes.
Harris asked for clarification on how the headlights were
affecting Mr. Poupard's property. Duffy replied the ,
headlights from the cars turning in and out of the 1
International School as well as the headlights from cars
stopping at the signal on County Road 62 shined into the ?
Poupard home. Duffy noted that another problem was the
traffic signal light on County Road 62 was changing
constantly.
Duffy stated that he would reserve the right to review the
response from the International School's attorney, as this
was not part of the information presented to him.
James Steilen, attorney representing the International
School, stated that Mr. Poupard had said that he was
willing to try the solution as presented by the
International School. Steilen said that it was important
i that the school begin construction immediately to meet
S September 1991 deadlines for completion. Steilen
City Council Minutes 6 March 13, 1990
requested that the Council consider taking action on this
item this evening.
Anderson believed that it was important for the City to
discuss the trail easement situation and further believed
that a condition of the Developer's Agreement should be
that the International School negotiate at trail easement
with the City of Eden Prairie.
Peterson asked Anderson if he believed that a condition of
the Developer's Agreement was sufficient. Anderson
replied that the City's intent was to continue attempt to
gain a trail easement in this location needed to become
part of the official records. Anderson emphasized that
it had always been the City's intent to obtain a trail in
this location.
Harris asked the proponent on the status regarding
completion of the Final Plat. Whitehead replied that the
Final Plat would be ready for Staff approval within a
week. Whitehead added that the request was that the
International School not be granted an occupancy permit
until the Final Plat was completed.
Anderson asked Whitehead the school's position regarding
the trail easement. Whitehead replied that the owners of
the school were in town at this time and recommended that
a representative from the City should discuss the trail
easement with them. Whitehead added that at this time it
was the school's position that it did not want a trail
through its property. Anderson asked if the school's
objection to a trail easement had been clearly stated
during the proceedings with Hennepin Parks. Whitehead
replied that proceedings had been started for a friendly
condemnation when the personnel for the Hennepin Parks
underwent a complete change and the decision to stop the
proceedings was made by the new Parks administration.
Anderson asked Whitehead if the International School would
be willing to negotiate with the City of Eden Prairie
regarding a trail easement. Whitehead replied that the
International School did not want a trail on its property.
Harris recommended that Staff be directed to talk directly
with the owners of the International School regarding a
trail easement.
Peterson recommended that Councilmember Anderson
participate in those negotiations. Anderson stated that
he would like to work with Staff on this issue because he
believed that it was very important to the City to have a
trail connection in this location as had always been the
intention.
City Council Minutes 7
March 13, 1990
Harris asked if it would be realistic to expect the Final
Plat to be filed within 10 days. Enger replied that a
Preliminary Plat had been approved and a Final Plat was to
be filed immediately. Enger noted that the filing of the
Final Plat was now 18 months overdue. He stated that the
Final Plat would require review by the City's Engineering
Department before being brought to the City Council.
Whitehead stated that a preliminary draft would be ready
for the Staff review within 10 days. Dietz replied that
the Final Plat would have to be filed with the County and
this could not be completed within 10 days.
Peterson recommended that the proponent be required to
file the Final Plat with the County prior to 2nd Reading.
Whitehead requested that a grading and foundation permit
be granted early to allow construction to begin
immediately.
Tenpas asked Duffy if he agreed with the comments by
Attorney Steilen. Duffy replied no and added that he
disagreed with some of the contents of the letter
presented to the Council this evening. Duffy stated that
because of the Final Plat had not been filed the driveway
was not placed as originally agreed upon. Duffy added
that the onus should not be placed on Mr. Poupard; the
( language in the Developer's Agreement should guarantee Mr.
Poupard that adequate screening be provided.
Peterson asked Duffy it was his intent that the screening
of the property as proposed with arborvitae be included in
the Developer's Agreement or to include other
alternatives. Duffy replied that the Developer's
Agreement could include language which would list several
alternatives, with the Developer being allowed to choose
the least expensive; however, if the screening
accomplished by this method was not sufficient, then the
developer would be required to take the next alternative.
City Attorney Pauly asked Duffy if Mr. Poupard was
claiming that this development was creating an additional
burden on his property, which would require the screening
and berming. Duffy replied that any additional
development on this site would affect the lack of visual
screening due to the increase in traffic. Duffy added
that it was not Mr. Poupard's intention to impede the
International School. He requested that the language be
very clear in the Developer's Agreement to provide Mr.
Poupard with adequate screening. Pauly asked Duffy if he
could quantify what the impact to Mr. Poupard's property
would be due to the proposed development. Duffy replied
that he could not present exact figures; however, the
increase in students would result in an increase in
traffic. Duffy requested that the language in the
CI,lO
City Council Minutes 8 March 13, ln90
Developer's Agreement be clear that the recommendation for
the arborvitae to be used as screening was that of the
International School, and that if this alternative did not
prove successful in providing Mr. Poupard with adequate
screening that the International School would be required
to take additional measures.
Harris believed that part of the problem from the
headlights was caused by the traffic on County Road 62 and
questioned if the best in screening could eliminate the
problem. Duffy replied that Hennepin County had
constructed a berm to screen the Poupard property from the j
headlights; however, the International School removed that j
berm to construct its driveway. Duffy believed that the
International School should be required to replace the
screening and berming which it chose to remove without
notifying Mr. Poupard. Whitehead replied that it was at
the City's request that the International School changed
its road design and moved the driveway. Whitehead added
that she did not know why Mr. Poupard had not been
informed of the change. Whitehead stated that she was not
aware of a particular berm being removed and did not
believe that the International School could be held
responsible for the traffic light on County Road 62 and
its affect on Mr. Poupard's property. She added that the
International School would be responsible to screen the
Poupard property from the school's traffic.
There were no further comments from the audience.
MOTION:
Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock to close the Public
Hearing and approve 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 4-90 for
Zoning District Amendment.
Peterson asked Pauly if there would be any legal
impediments which could result from taking action tonight.
Pauly replied that it appeared from the information
presented earlier that Mr. Poupard would like the
requirement that a berm be provided as part of the
condition for approval of the proposal and the
International School is not in favor of this as a
condition.
Whitehead stated that Staff was not recommending the
construction of a berm as part of its recommendations.
Whitehead added that Staff had indicated that the
construction of a berm in the necessary location to
provide screening would destroy approximately 7 large oak
trees. Pauly stated that in light of this information, he
City Council Minutes 9 March 13, 1')90
( could find no other reason not to take action on this item 1
at this time.
Motion carried 4-1. Anderson voted "NO".
MOTION:
Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock to direct Staff to
prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission
and Staff recommendations and Council Condition that prior
to 2nd Reading the Final Plat be filed with the County,
negotiations for a trail easement be included in the
Developer's Agreement, and the screening be provided with
the arborvitae as proposed.
Anderson asked Pauly to clarify why the requirement for
the arborvitae screening could be included in the
Developer's Agreement and a requirement for a trail
easement could not be included. Pauly replied that the
proponent was in agreement with the screening requirement,
but was not in agreement that a trail be placed on the
(stl2vp10H
but was not in agreement that a trail be placed on the
property. Anderson stated that this proposal had been
fast-tracked over a year ago to allow the school to meet
schedules and at that time the Council believed that a
trail system would be provided because the International
School had agreed to cooperate with the County. Anderson
believed that the International School wanted to the City
to cooperate and make exceptions for its benefit; however,
he did not see the International School willing to
reciprocate and cooperate with the City on an issue which
was important to the City's trail system. Anderson added
that this was why he was voting in opposition to the
proposal.
Peterson stated that he had voted in favor of the proposal
with the belief that the International School would enter
into good faith negotiations with the City regarding a
trail easement prior to 2nd Reading. Peterson added that
if this was not the case at the time of 2nd Reading he
would reserve the right to change his vote at that time.
Harris stated that she had added as a Council condition
that the negotiations for a trail easement begin prior to
2nd Reading and also believed that this would be done in
good faith.
Tenpas asked if it would be possible to include language
for the Developer's Agreement that the International
School be responsible for adequate screening for the
Poupard property and that if the first attempt with the
arborvitae did not work that the International School
would be responsible for additional screening. Pauly
replied that this would be within the City's prerogative.
Harris stated that this would be adding a modifier to the
W57
City Council Minutes 10 March 13, 1t090
motion which she was uncomfortable with. Tenpas replied
that it appeared that this was the only time of the year
when the screening was an issue and he wanted to make sure
that this issue did not return to the Council.
Duffy noted that Staff had concurred that the arborvitae
might not work. It had been Staff's recommendation to
provide a fence, which had been Mr. Poupard's second
choice, with the first being to replace the berm which had
been removed. Duffy did not want the Staff's
recommendation and Mr. Poupard's recommendations to be
lost in this process.
Pauly recommended that any recommendation for further
remedy of the screening be a condition of further review
by the City Attorney to determine the City's authority to
require such additions. He added that if it was
determined to be within the City's authority the language
would be included in the Developer's Agreement prior to
2nd Reading. The Council concurred with this
recommendation.
Motion carried unanimously. Anderson noted that he voted
in favor of the motion at this time because of the
clarification of the Council conditions.
MOTION:
Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock to grant an early
grading and foundation permit with the understanding that
the proponent would be proceeding at its own risk. Motion
carried unanimously.
B. VACATION NO. 90-02 - RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR CORRAL LANE
(Resolution No. 90-56)
Jullie reported that notice of this Public Hearing had
been published in the February 21, 1990 issue of the Eden
Prairie News and mailed to owners of affected property
owners.
Richard O'Brien, 15709 Cedar Ridge Road, recommended that
Item IV.A be considered at the same time as this item
because they are connected. O'Brien noted that several
residents were in attendance to discuss concerns regarding
both items.
Peterson asked Jullie why the two items were separated.
Jullie replied that the vacation of Corral Lane was a
public hearing and that under normal conditions the Final
Plat for Sandy Pointe would have been addressed under the
Consent Calendar; however, because of prior knowledge of
some concerns by the residents it had been placed under
the Resolution section of the agenda. Jullie believed
769
City Council Minutes 11 March 13, 1990
that the proponent could address the issues of concern by
the neighbors.
Jim Zachman, the proponent, stated that the Final Plat was
exactly the same as the Preliminary Plat which was
approved in November of 1989. He added that the dispute
and item of concern was how to solve a surveying error.
There was a gap in the property designated as Outlot C. A
decision would be determined by the courts if the depth of
Outlot B would be increased or if the land would become
part of the Eden Hills parcel. Zachman did not believe
that this should have any affect on Final Plat approval.
Jullie asked Zachman to address the payment to the
property owners. Zachman replied that he had agreed to
pay the Eden Hills Homeowners Association $30,000 at the
time the Final Plat was recorded, not at the time of
filing, and this condition had been accepted by the
association. Zachman stated that he would like the City
to police the $30,000 payment through a stipulation in the
Developer's Agreement.
Kent Barker, 15801 Cedar Ridge Road, asked how the
proponent could include in the plat property that he did
not own. Barker referenced a letter dated March 13, 1990
from the Eden Hills Homeowners Association to the City
from the Eden Hills Homeowners Association to the City
which outlined its concerns. The Homeowners Association
would object to any Council action which would undermine
its rights of ownership. Barker noted that the Homeowners
Association had been assured that the County Attorney's
office was fully aware that the ownership of this 30-foot
piece of property was not clear at this time.
Zachman stated that he was not claiming ownership of the
property. He added that he was working with the County
Attorney's office and merely wanted to have the Final Plat
recorded at this time; and the ownership of the property
would be determined through a court hearing process.
Peterson stated that it appeared that the proponent had
had conversations with City Attorney Pauly regareing these
issues and believed that this item would not have appeared
on the Agenda if the City Attorney believed that any
action on the part of the Council would jeopardize or
prejudice any court hearing regarding ownership of the
property in question.
Pauly asked City Engineer Gray if there was a discrepancy
over the rest of the Plat. Gray replied no. Pauly asked
Gray if any of the City's rights-of-way or easements go
across the contested strip of property. Gray replied no.
Pauly stated that the mere platting of property did not
change in any way ownership interest. Pauly noted that an
City Council Minutes
12 March 13, 1990
easement interest holder was not required to sign the
plat, only the fee owner. Pauly noted that the procedure
being recommended this evening was based on a
recommendation from the Examiner of Titles.
Pauly stated that the payment issue could be made a
condition of the Developer's Agreement.
Peterson asked Pauly if the Council could take action on
both the vacation of Corral Lane and the Final Plat
approval for Sandy Pointe without hindering the Homeowners
Association position regarding ownership. Pauly stated
that these proceedings would not determine title of the
property.
Robert Gartner, 15701 Cedar Ridge Road, was concerned that
the Homeowners Association would lose access to its
recreation lot if the vacation of Corral Lane took place.
Dietz replied that a small portion of the road would go
across the property in question. Jullie replied that this
across the property in question. Jullie replied that this
would not result in the Homeowners Association being
denied access to its property. Pauly asked if access
would be available even if a third party owned the
property. Jullie replied that there would be access over
land which was not in dispute. Gray replied that a trail
( would be provided in place of a street and access would
still be available for the Homeowners Association.
There were no further comments from the audience.
MOTION:
Harris moved, seconded by Anderson to close the Public
Hearing and adopt Resolution No. 90-56 to vacate a part of
the right-of-way for Corral Lane. Motion carried
unanimously.
C. ORDER IMPROVEMENTS AND PREPARATION OF PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS. I.C. 52-166 (Sanitary Sewer. Watermain.
Street and Drainage Improvements in Summit/Meadowvale/Red
Oak Drives Neighborhood) Resolution No. 90-61
Jullie reported that notice of this public hearing was
mailed to 67 surrounding property owners and published in
the February 28 and March 7, 1990 issues of the Eden
Prairie News.
Dietz presented the plans for project I.C. 52-166. The
project was the result of a petition from the residents in
the neighborhood to provide utilities and street
improvements to the area. The street would be 28 feet
wide. The exact location of the storm sewer outlots had
not been determined at this time and further study was
taking place. The proposal had an alternate for the
City Council Minutes 13 March 13, 1990
construction of sidewalks. The sidewalk would continue
all along Summit Drive and Red Oak Drive based on a
request by the residents to complete the sidewalk loop.
The cost of the project was $404,140. The assessment
would consist of 57 lots at $7,090 per lot unit. This
assessment included $14,000 for the additional sidewalk at
$247 per lot unit. Easement acquisitions for utilities
were not included in the figures for the feasibility study
and these costs could be added if necessary. Dietz added
that the cul-de-sac in the northeast end of Summit Drive
would require an easement for the construction of the
terminus. The cost of the storm sewer would be
approximately $201,860, to be assessed at $3,364 per lot
unit for 60 lots. The cost of the watermain would be
approximately $166,190 at $3,022 per lot unit for 55 lots
plus the trunk sewer and water assessments. An alternate
plan had been developed at a lower cost which resulted in
a savings of approximately $400 per lot; however, this
plan would be more disturbing to the neighborhood and
would result in the lose of additional trees. Four lots
would be assessed at a one-half lot unit cost because of
the irregular shapes. Red Rock View would be assessed for
6 lot units for utilities and 7 lot units for streets.
Dietz presented the assessment roll and recommended that
the utilities be subject to the Exclusion Policy. Bids
were scheduled to open in April, substantial completion in
September, and the Special Assessment Hearing would take
place in August 1991. The taxes would appear on the 1992
tax statements.
Anderson asked Dietz if these were the last homes with
septic tanks in this area. Dietz replied that
approximately 29 lots in this area had septic tanks.
Anderson then asked how long after the City provided sewer
to an area did the residents have to hook up to the City's
system. Dietz replied that it could be established that
hook up would be required within 2 years. Dietz added
that currently the policy was that an existing septic
system could not be repaired if City sewer were available
and the resident would be required to hook up at the time
the system failed. Anderson believed that a time limit
should be established to require hook up especially when
homes were close to a lake. Dietz stated that Staff had
been requested by the Metropolitan Waste Commission to
establish a comprehensive sewer policy plan which was
presently being reviewed by the Building Department. He
added that inspection of all on-site systems was part of
the recommended proposal.
Dan Dineen, 15607 Summit Drive, stated that it appeared
that the storm sewer systems did not connect to anything.
He added that a water drainage problem existed currently
in the area. Dietz replied that these were not the final
plans. Dietz added that curb and gutter would be
City Council Minutes 14 March 13, 1990
installed in the cul-de-sac area. Dineen requested that
further review of the drainage problem be done. Dietz
replied that this would be done during the final design
process. Dineen stated that he was not in agreement with
the sidewalk proposal. Dietz stated that the sidewalk
would connect to Red Rock Shores subdivision which would
allow a connection to the trail at County Road 4.
Peterson asked Dietz the rational for the additional
sidewalk. Dietz replied this was based on a petition
received from some of the residents in the area.
Claude Johnson, 8740 Red Oak Drive, stated that the septic
systems in the area do not drain toward the lake. Johnson
added that he had been told that he would have 5 years
before connection would be required and did not believe
that it would be fair to change the rules now. Anderson
replied that he was concerned about a potential problem.
Johnson stated that he was opposed to the additional
sidewalk proposed. He added that he was concerned about
the liability issues involved. Johnson did not see the
need for the sidewalk because the neighborhood was self-
contained.
Bob Maier, 15603 Summit Drive, stated that there was a
drainage problem currently on his property. Dietz
i emphasized that these were not final plans and that the
issue would not be overlooked at the time of final design.
Don Harasyn, 15811 Summit Drive, supported the 2nd
alternative plan to reduce the costs. Harrison questioned
how often access would be necessary to the backyards.
Harrison noted that homes in this area were mainly
walkouts and the septic systems were located in the
backyards and questioned why the service connection costs
would be less by going into the street. Harrison
supported the sidewalk system as proposed but recommended
consistency in rational for the placement of sidewalks in
neighborhoods.
John Hoffer, 8711 Meadowvale Drive, stated that he had
acquired 40 signatures on the petition for the sidewalks
and supported the plan as shown.
Catherine Holmbeck, 16050 Summit Drive, stated that she
did not see a need for the sidewalk between Summit Drive
and County Road 4. Hombeck was concerned about the extra
burden of shoveling the sidewalk in the winter and
liability.
f There were no further comments from the audience.

City Council Minutes 15 March 13, 1990
MOTION:
Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris to close the Public
Hearing and adopt Resolution NO. 90-61 ordering the
Improvements and Preparation of Plans and Specifications
for I.C. 52-166.
Peterson asked if direction was going to be given to Staff
regarding the sidewalks. Dietz replied that based on the
discussions this evening it appeared that the sidewalk
presented in green on the plan would be acceptable to the
majority of the neighborhood residents; however, the
sidewalk presented in orange was not fully supported.
Peterson believed that it was important to hear comments I
from more of the residents in the neighborhood before a
determination was made regarding the sidewalk issue.
Dietz stated that he was an advocate of sidewalks
especially in neighborhoods with young children. Dietz
added that from a safety aspect the sidewalk would make
sense.
Pidcock noted that sidewalks were much harder and more
costly to install after a neighborhood was fully
developed.
Dietz stated that the City did not have an ordinance which
required that the sidewalks be shoveled and in fact the
City plowed some sidewalks in heavily traveled areas or
close to schools.
Dietz presented the Council with a letter from a Mrs.
Woods which stated objection to the project.
Peterson believed that the neighborhood should be polled
regarding the sidewalk issue.
Anderson believed that the main concern should be the
safety of the children in the neighborhood.
Claude Johnson stated that on Red Oak Drive there were no
young children. Peterson noted that this situation could
change in the future.
Pidcock believed that the sidewalk was a safety issue.
The Council concurred on strong support of the
installation of the sidewalk system as proposed.
Motion carried unanimously.

X. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS & COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Councilmembers
1. Report on National League of Cities Convention in
Washington DC
Harris complimented Mayor Peterson on his report about the
convention. Harris stated that the convention dealt with
national trends and big city issues. The convention
offered an opportunity to meet with State representatives.
Harris thanked Representative Pauly and Councilmember
Pidcock for arranging special meetings and introductions.
Harris believed that this meeting was very unique and
different from the previous year.
Pidcock stated she and Councilmember Harris had met with
Kathy Michelle from Rep. Frenzel's office to discuss the
landfill issue. Rep. Oberstar and his staff member Tom
Reagan also spent time discussing the landfill issue. Tom
Reagan recommended an adoption of a Resolution regarding
Vag
City Council Minutes 21 March 13, 1990
landfill which was presented to the Council. Pidcock
believed that the meetings were very worthwhile.
Pidcock stated that she and Councilmembers Tenpas and
Harris had met with Gordon Hoff to discuss the landfill
and the possibility to obtain demonstration money for
Highway 212. Pidcock added that the data needed to be
turned in by next week.
2. Resolution opposing Expansion of Flying Cloud Landfill
MOTION:
Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson to adopt Resolution
No. 90-72 opposing the expansion of the Flying Cloud
Landfill.
Peterson asked if this resolution had been prepared by
City Staff personnel. Pidcock replied that City Attorney
Pauly and City Manager Jullie had helped draft the
resolution.
Peterson asked if the toxicology experts retained by the
City had indeed concluded that there would be a health
hazard for residents within 750 to 2,000 feet of the
proposed expansion limits or if the research was still
ongoing. Jullie replied that in the experts deposition he
had made mention of similarities between this landfill and
the one located in Ottawa and that there could be
potential for health hazards. Peterson wanted to stress
that a definite conclusion had not been reached.
Motion carried unanimously.
3. Graffiti Bridge
Harris reported that she had had a telephone conversation
and had received a letter from a representative of Totes
Incorporated which manufactures "Graffiti Gear". The
corporation wanted to sponsor a graffiti contest, for
which the winner would receive a scholarship. The winning
design would be prominently displayed and celebrities
would be brought in, with the possibility of a mural being
done. Totes Incorporated was willing to participate in
the preservation of the bridge and would like to discuss
this issue further with the City, School Board, and the
Chamber of Commerce. Harris believed that Eden Prairie
would receive a lot of publicity.
Tenpas believed this would be a great idea.
Peterson asked if by agreeing to this it would mean that
the City had agreed to keep the bridge. Harris replied
no.
(7v
City Council Minutes 22 March 13, 1990
Jullie asked if Totes Incorporated would carry the
responsibility for the administration of the contest.
Harris replied that Totes Incorporated would take full
responsibility.
Anderson stated that it would need to begin very soon in
order to be able to reach the school children before
school let out for the summer.
MOTION:
Pidcock moved, seconded by Tenpas to approve the concept
of a contest to be sponsored by Totes Incorporated.
4. Earth Week
Anderson reported that the Committee would finalize plans
on Thursday evening. He added that the school had already
planned some very interesting programs. Anderson stated
that he had wanted to place the Tree City Flag at the
Community Center and it was noted that the center did not
have a flag pole. Anderson believed that it would be
appropriate to have a flag pole and requested that Staff
look into the price of a flag pole.
MOTION:
Anderson moved, seconded by Pidcock to direct Staff to
investigate the cost of a flag pole. Motion carried
unanimously.
B. Report of City Manager
C. Report of City Attorney
D. Report of Director of Planning
E. Director of Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
1. Riley Lake Park Acquisition
Lambert reported that when the grant was applied for in
1987 a plan for the park was presented to Mrs. Jacques.
The original plan was rejected by Jacques due to her
concern about the location of the ballfields and the
location of the property line. Plan 2 reflected a change
in the property lines and the removal of the ballfields.
Jacques concern then related to the location of the boat
launch at the north end of the park. Plan 3 evolved,
changing the location of the boat launch to the southern
end of the park. At this time Jacques requested a
significant amount of screening between the park and her
home. The State voiced a concern regarding Plan 3 because
the City did not have a definite plan to purchase the
•
City Council Minutes 23 March 13, 1990
additional property to the south for the boat launch.
Plan 4 depicted an expanded parking area. Plan 5 showed 2
ballfields reintroduced.
Jacques had finally arrived at a price of $21,333.33 per
acre for the property; however, she noted 10 conditions
for the sale.
Condition 1 related to an objection to the elbow
configuration of the property to the north. Lambert noted
that this would eliminate the City's ability to provide
adequate screening between the park and the Jacques home
as earlier requested. Lambert added that the Stated had
noted that if any facilities were taken away, the grant
would be invalid. Lambert believed that if the City gave
up a portion of the property this would be a major
concession; if anything the City should be attempting at
acquire additional land. As presently planned the City
was only acquiring a 30 acre park on a 300 acre lake.
Condition 2 was a firm commitment by the City not to move
the boat launch to the north at any time in the future.
Lambert noted that this would require a commitment for the
City to acquire additional land to the south.
Condition 3 was that Jacques would have final approval of
the design. Lambert believed that this would be a grave
mistake.
Condition 4 was for Jacques to preserve the right to
maintain a farm road access to the property to the north.
Lambert stated that this would be restrictive to the
City's plans.
Condition 5 was a request to be allowed to rent the farm
land for the remainder of 1990.
Pidcock asked if a time limit had been established for the
maintenance of the farm road. Lambert replied no.
Condition 6 requested that the City pay the "Green Acres"
taxes.
Pidcock stated that the payment of taxes was the
responsibility of the seller, not the buyer.
Condition 7 was a request to store the farm equipment.
Condition 8 requested that Jacques be notified prior to
any building removed.
Condition 9 stated that Jacques provided no warranty on
the buildings.
712
City Council Minutes 24 March 13, 1990
Condition 10 stated that the City may retain $42,837.50 of
the total purchase price pending clearance of the title of
approximately 2.37 acres.
Lambert recommended that the City Attorney be authorized
to make an offer based on the Council's decisions
regarding the 10 conditions. He added that the City
needed to proceed before March 30th.
Harris asked what would happen if Jacques was unable to
get clear title. Lambert replied that the City would need
to negotiate to buy from another party. Lambert added
that the State's position was that the City either begin
condemnation proceeding or enter into a purchase
agreement.
Anderson stated that the City had been involved in this
process for a long time and the price continued to
increase. He believed that the City needed to proceed now
into serious negotiations. Anderson added that Mrs.
Jacques was not in the business of planning parks and
roads and should therefore, not be permitted to determine
the final plans. Anderson believed that the park should
be planned in the best interest of the total population of
the City not one individual. Anderson further believed
that once the City purchased the property it should be
{ able to develop the property as it sees fit.
Peterson stated that a considerable amount of Staff's time
and City funds had been invested already. He added that
the City had a professional planner on staff to determine
the final design for the park and did not agree with the
request by Jacques to have final approval. Pidcock
concurred.
Peterson stated that regarding the 0.8-acre, he
recommended that the screening take place on the Jacques
0.8-acre and that she be obligated to maintain the
screening. Peterson believed that the wording of "never
moving the boat launch" should be changed or removed.
Harris believed that the location of the boat launch was a
safety issue. Lambert stated that it was necessary to
have the boat launch located as far away from the swimming
area as possible. Lambert added that it could be 10 years
or more before the City would be able to acquire the
property to the south. He noted that the location of the
boat launch to the south would not be as good as the
location to the north. Harris believed that this part
would have high intensity use.
Tenpas asked what would need to be changed to move the
boat launch to the north. Lambert replied that the park
plan would need to be changed. Riley Lake Road would not
•
•
City Council Minutes 25 March 13, 1990
be in the location as currently presented. Lambert added
that if the boat launch were located to the north it would
of vital importance to heavily screen the area along the
northern property line.
Pidcock asked how much time would be involved if this were
to go through a condemnation process. Pauly replied that
a "quick-take" process could begin within 60 days.
Tenpas asked how much a condemnation process would cost
the City. Pauly replied that appraisers and commissioners
would cost approximately $20,000 to $30,000. •
Pidcock believed that it would be in the best interest of
the City to reach an agreement and enter into a purchase
agreement.
Tenpas stated that he was comfortable with the purchase
price per acre; did not see the 0.8-acre as a problem; the
wording in Condition 2 should be changed to eliminate the
word "never"; concurred with the rest of the Council
regarding Condition 3 that Jacques should not be granted
final approval of the plans; on Condition 6: the taxes
should be paid by Jacques; Conditions 5 and 7 were
liability issues for the City; Conditions 8, 9, and 10
were fine as presented. Tenpas further recommended that
• the wording in Condition 2 be changed to reflect that the
City would make every effort possible to keep the docks
from the northern location. Lambert recommended that the
word "never" be removed and it be noted that the City
would try to purchase the necessary parcels to the south.
Peterson recommended that Condition 4 be worded to set a
time limit of May 1991 and believed that Condition 6 could
be negotiable.
MOTION:
Tenpas moved, seconded by Pidcock to approve negotiations
for a final purchase agreement based on the revision of
the Conditions as noted during the discussion above.

into 53 lots for construction of a 52 unit multi-family residential

published in the Eden Prairie News.
Gw

City Council Minutes 3 March 20, 1990
David Carlson, the developer of the property, addressed the proposal.
He noted that it is only a 50-unit development at this time.
Director of Planning Enger reported that the Planning Commission
reviewed this item at the February 26th meeting and recommended
approval of the Preliminary Plat, PUD Development, and Rezoning from
Rural to RM-6.5, subject to the recommendations of the Staff report
dated February 23rd. The Commission added Item 6 to the Staff
recommendations to require that all perimeter landscaping shall be
installed at the beginning of the project. He said they were con-
cerned about the buffering of the project to surrounding properties.
He said the original Planned Unit Development designated this area
for a range of density between 42 and 92, with any units beyond 42
subject to a detailed review of the site and architectural plan and
subject to several performance criteria.
Enger noted that it will be a townhome association with private
roads. He then summarized the recommendations of the February 23rd
Staff Report.
Peterson asked if this item had been reviewed by the Parks, Recreation
and Natural Resources Commission. Enger said he was quite sure it
had been reviewed and he assumed it had been approved subject to
the recommendations of the Planning Staff.
Anderson said he noted there was a significant amount of grading on
this project and asked how it lined up with the adjacent properties to
the south. Enger replied that the grade change to the south is about
12 feet. Jerry Backman, engineer for the project, said that this
property is lower than the adjacent property. Anderson said he was
concerned that individual projects do not take into consideration
the grading plans for adjacent developments.
Enger said they match the grading to the south and that there is
somewhat of a knoll in the center of the property line. He said they
are tapering down from that knoll and that there will be a 3:1 slope
from the top to bottom.
Anderson asked what the view of the houses will be for people walking
around the lake. Enger said they would see the back of 21-3 duplex
units. He said there will be a short distance of boulder retaining
wall about 75 feet wide and 4 feet high. Anderson asked if you would
see backyards or frontyards. Enger replied it would be backyards.
Anderson asked if there would be any restrictions as to what owners
could put in their backyards in this project. He said it is a park
and he was concerned about what would be seen when people walked
around the lake. He also asked what will happen to the large group
of oak trees on the property.
Enger said a portion of those trees will be removed for Street "C",
but that is located in an area where there are two dead trees. He
a7/
City Council Minutes 4 March 20, 1990
said they had asked the developer to remove a unit that was planned
in the location of the remaining oak trees, and that was done. Enger
said the townhouse association should have control over the backyard I
storage and that the homes that would be directly visible from
Staring Lake do have sloped backyards.
Carlson said the townhome association bylaws would specify no outside
storage at all. He said there is more control here than in the
single family homes next door.
Anderson said he is concerned with the loss of a significant amount
of trees even though this seems to be a pretty good project.
Pidcock said she was concerned about the outside parking. Carlson
said there is additional parking scattered throughout the site.
Pidcock asked how many stalls were planned. Carlson said there were
12 stalls and that parking along the street would be allowed for
guests.
MOTION:
Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the Public Hearing and
to approve 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 14-90 for Rezoning.
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION:
Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to adopt Resolution No. 90-68
approving the Preliminary Plat and to direct Staff to prepare a
Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations.
Anderson said he is concerned that the closest lot to the lake area
is 35 feet from the road. He said he would feel more comfortable
if he knew there were some tight restrictions on what they can put
in their backyard. He asked if there were decks included on the
homes. Carlson said there will be decks and that they pay particular
attention to construction materials used on the decks because of
the appearance from the lake.
Peterson suggested that Enger pay attention to the issues raised by
Anderson and that the Association bylaws be monitored.
Motion carried unanimously.
B. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) YEAR XVI (Resolution No.
90-67)
Jullie stated that notice of this Public Hearing was published in the
( March 7th issue of the Eden Prairie News. He said all of the requests
for funding were reviewed by the Human Rights & Services Commission
on March 12th. He said the recommendations of the Commission were
City Council Minutes 5 March 20, 1990
summarized in the March 15th memo to the Council. He said the major
difference in this year's funding proposal request related to the
Scattered Site Housing program. He said HUD has determined that the
program as it now is administered constitutes an income payment
rather than acquisition assistance. He said that finding of ineligi-
bility is being appealed; however, those funds may still need to be
repaid to HUD.
City Attorney Pauly referred to the March 13th letter to Mr. Leonard
D. Brod, Assistant Hennepin County Attorney from Joseph A. Milan of
Mr. Pauly's firm which enclosed a letter that Mr. Milan suggested be
sent to Thomas Feeney, Manager of the local HUD office. He said the
letter reasserted the objections to the finding of ineligibility and
requested that HUD reconsider the finding.
Peterson asked if Tom Johnson is pursuing this on behalf of the
county or what the relationship is. Pauly said Mr. Milan and other
staff members produced the suggested letter as it seemed more appro-
priate to go through the county channels. {
Pidcock asked how many other municipalities have similar programs.
Pauly said he was not sure. Assistant Planner David Lindahl said
to his knowledge no other community has quite this approach to this
program; however, several communities have expressed interest in this
approach.
Tenpas asked if HUD's interpretation precludes us from approving the
funding for this year. Pauly said that if HUD's view prevailed we would
have more money to refund back to HUD. Lindahl said that if the
funds were approved for this year, it would have to be on the basis
of a contingency fund.
Harris asked for an explanation of the $5,000 for Adaptive Recreation
and what was happening regarding the 15% county-wide cap. Lindahl said
HUD regulates the county and will not allow more than 15% of the
overall allocation to be expended for public service activities.
He said the county does not require cities to follow the same guide-
lines so Eden Prairie has allocated 25-30% for public service in the
past few years. He said we will have to maintain the percentage for
1989 which was 30%.
Jim Nicolai, Administrator of the GMDCA, and Beth Timm, Adaptive
Recreation Coordinator, were present to answer questions. Mr. Nicolai
said they appreciated the continued support the Council has given to
the child care sliding fee program.
MOTION:
Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public Hearing and to
adopt Resolution No. 90-67 approving the proposed program for use
of Year XVI CDBG funds.
Motion carried unanimously.

VI. ORDINANCES 8 RESOLUTIONS
VII. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Hearing to Appeal Board of Appeals 8 Adjustments Decision on Variance
Request No. 90-04
Jullie said Mr. & Mrs. Nelson have appealed the decision of the
Board of Appeals 8 Adjustments decision on Variance Request No. 90-04.
He said they wish to add a deck on the side of their house which would
result in a 20-foot setback rather than the 30-foot setback required
by code.
Mr. Zachman, the builder, described the situation that resulted in
the present situation regarding the Nelson's deck. He said he thought
the proposed 12 X 18 foot deck along with the six-foot evergreen trees
proposed would be an improvement to the neighborhood.
Enger said the Planning Staff checks the surveys submitted by the
builder to make sure the setbacks are conformed with. In this case
the setbacks were conformed with; however, they noticed that the back
of the house was on a front yard setback. They wrote on the survey
"No Deck" and returned the survey to the builder. He said the house
could have been sited differently so that the living side was toward
the more usable portion of the yard,
Harris asked Enger to review how the house could have been sited to
avoid the problem. Enger reviewed the position of the house and how
it might have been arranged on the lot.
Tenpas said the builder was the one who made the mistake, not the
homeowners. He said he thought the neighbors across the street would
prefer a deck since there is a sliding glass door.
Anderson asked Enger what the smallest practical deck size is. Enger
Enger replied that it's a relative thing and that an 8 X 10 deck can
be used for some purposes.
S Peterson said he would be comfortable with a compromise size for the
deck. Anderson said he would go along with an 8-foot deck with
plantings.
City Council Minutes , 7 March 20, 1990
MOTION:
Anderson moved that the request for variance be approved with the
stipulation that it be an 8-foot deck and that the trees be 8-foot
conifers.
MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Tenpas said he didn't think the neighbors would be able to tell the
difference between a 12-foot and a 10-foot deck. Peterson said
he was concerned with the issue of precedence since what is permitted
in this case is a 2-foot deck.
Tenpas said he thought it was unusual for a house to front on three
streets. Peterson said he thought that did not create a hardship since
the streets were there when the home was purchased.
Pidcock said she had great sympathy for the Nelsons and she was
concerned that this not happen again.
Tenpas asked the Nelsons if 10 feet would work for them. They said it
would.
MOTION:
Tenpas moved, seconded by Pidcock, to approve the request with a
deck size of 10 X 18 feet and with three 8-foot conifers to be planted.
Motion carried unanimously.

1. Recent Legislative Moves on Waste Facilities and Discussion
Regarding Lobbyists
Harris said she would like to have some discussion about the
actions last Friday on local authority and solid waste facilities.
Pauly said the Waste Management bill was heard by the Environ-
mental Committee in the Senate last Friday. He said that bill
had the provision that deals with waste processing facilities.
He said a provision was inserted that essentially takes away
from any local control the siting of waste facilities which would
L'U
4
City Council Minutes 8 March 20, 1990
include disposal facilities. He said that provision takes away
local authority and would take away Eden Prairie's authority with
regard to any zoning or regulatory issues of Flying Cloud Landfill.
He said it was his understanding that the provision was recommended
by the county in order that they would be able to properly dispose
of certain types of garbage such as yard waste. He said he
recommended that it be modified to exclude landfills.
Pauly said a further amendment was introduced that states that
any landfill or expansion of a landfill that has received the
approval of the Metropolitan Council as of the date of epproval
of the Flying Cloud EIS and which will receive county approval is
exempt from further local approval. He said the House version
of the bill contains neither of those two provisions.
Harris said she was very concerned about the local authority in
decision-making issue. She said she would like to place before
the Council the option of having a lobbyist represent the City
during this period in order to have direct access to the legis-
lators as well as a direct link back to the City. Pidcock said
she was going to suggest the same thing.
Tenpas asked if the legislator introducing the amendment was
being directly lobbied by BFI. Pauly said in regard to the
second amendment he was.
Peterson asked Harris if she had a particular lobbyist in mind.
She replied that she did not, but she thought that first the Council
should decide whether to have one.
Peterson said he thought that Mr. Merritt is well known and is
very conversant with the issue.
Tenpas said he would like the option of consulting with Senator
Storm and Rep. Pauly as they know the people over there and might
be able to suggest someone who could be more effective. Harris
said she would agree.
Anderson asked if Merritt would know what is going on. Peterson
said he would suggest that two councilmembers volunteer to meet with
Senator Storm and Rep. Pauly and others, and the Council would then
authorize those two councilmembers to make a decision.
MOTION:
Anderson moved, seconded by Tenpas, to appoint Dr. Harris and
Mrs. Pidcock to meet with Senator Storm and Rep. Pauly to
determine an appropriate lobbyist.
682
City Council Minutes 4 March 20, 1990
Tenpas said he would like to see some consideration of the term
of this lobbyist as he might not be opposed to this person doing
some additional work on the landfill issue.
Peterson said it might be appropriate to ask whichever lobbyist
is chosen to draft an agreement outlining the scope of the
effort.
Pauly said some agreements are on a set fee and others are on an
hourly basis. He said more typically they are so much per
month or so much for the session.
Peterson said perhaps Mr. Pauly or Mr. Rosow should be in the
meeting with the two councilmembers.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
2. Summary of Outside Trash Storage
Harris said the Council had asked Staff at an earlier meeting to
took at regulation of outside trash storage and she would like to
know where that stands.
Enger said Staff has contacted other communities and there
are none that require inside storage of trash. He said many
do require outside screening of trash. He said Staff is proceeding
along the lines of requiring inside storage of trash. He said
they have met with the Public Safety Department and the Building
Dept. regarding health codes and are beginning to draft standards
for requiring inside storage.
Harris said she would like to know the status of any legal actions
in which the City is currently involved.
Pauly said he had undertaken to gather that information, and he
would have it ready the Friday after next.

3. Car Dealerships in Eden Prairie ]]
Peterson said he wanted to discuss Mr. Enger's memo regarding the
Ford dealership near Menards.
Enger said the City Code does not permit outside display of more 1
than 10% of goods for sale or lease. He said this precludes
the traditional form of car dealerships. He said the Code would ip
also preclude boat dealerships with outside display, and other
similar types of dealerships with outside displays.
Enger said the Ford dealership is being proposed next to Menards,
which he thought was a good place for it; however, his concern is
•
City Council Minutes 10 March 20, 1990
that what happens on that site, if it is approved, will be the
standard for any other car dealerships in town. He said they
are willing to prepare additional information or standards for
such projects if the Council would so desire.
Anderson said he would like to see the state of the art as far as {,
car dealerships are concerned.
Pidcock said she could see no reason to deviate from our standards
of the past.
Tenpas said he would agree with Anderson that we should take a
look at the state of the art.
Harris said she thought we should maintain the standards for which
we are known.
Enger said Mr. Brauer is involved in this on behalf of Mr. Berme!,
the agent in the sale of the property. He said the Staff does
not have an ability to negotiate at this point as Mr. Brauer has
said they believe the Council is in favor of this dealership.
Peterson asked if theyare proposing the traditional type
P P 9 of auto
merchandising. Enger said the layout is traditional.
Peterson said he thought the Council had expressed a unanimous
decision that we have standards and that we are not inclined to
deviate from them.
Enger said he believes when one dealership comes in, there will be
four or five others after it. He said, while this site is rela-
tively easy to deal with regarding the issue of outside storage,
none of the other suggested sites is easy to deal with.

Enger said the School wants to put two concession buildings at
the High School, and he doesn't feel it is a big enough deal to go
through the site plan ordinance. He showed pictures of the two
buildings. Enger said they plan to suggest the School contact
the neighbors nearest the proposed building sites and show them
the pictures and the plans.

Pauly referred to his letter of March 15th to Paul Anderson and Mr. Anderson's
reply to him dated March 19th. He reviewed the eight points outlined in
his letter to Mr. Anderson. He said Mrs. Jacques is adamant about not
locating the public boat launch on the northerly 2/3 of the lakeshore
property. He said it would appear that it wouid be possible to realign
the launch to the southerly portion of the park and move the beach area to
the north.
Jullie showed drawings of the proposed park development.
Tenpas asked what the probability was of acquiring the additional land.
Jullie said it will eventually happen. Tenpas said he would like to
suggest that we start the process again to investigate acquiring the addi-
tional land.
Anderson asked where we are with the railroad track. Jullie said we
have had no official word on abandonment.
Pauly said one approach would be to try to get some type of time limit so
that at some time the provision would be stricken.
Peterson asked Juiiie if he had talked to Mr. Lambert about the response
and the alternatives proposed. Jullie said Mr. Lambert's recommendation
has been to have full flexibility; however, the plans worked out with the
boat access on the southerly portion will work and the State will approve
it.
Pidcock said she thought we should make a proposai to Mrs. Jacques with the
boat launch on the southerly portion and with a time period for the
restriction.

City Council Minutes 4 April 3, 1990
MOTION
Motion to approve the Consent Calendar with the
exception of Item N was made by Pidcock, seconded by
Harris, approved unanimously.
ITEM N:
On this item Enger reported that the City has continued
to get calls on the condition of the rear of Ciatti's
regarding trash pick-up and the unfinished status of
the landscaping. The status of several items regarding
this shopping center were as follows. The trash was
picked up every day in the morning an weekly visits to
the site show that the area was clean. This situation
should be permanently resolved with the construction of
the shopping center. One solution may be to have the
trash enclosure built as the first portion of the
construction. Second, was the finishing of the
landscaping behind Ciatti's. It should have been
completed when construction was finished on Ciatti's.
Some trees had been planted but no finish grading or
sodding installed. There has been an irrigation system
installed. The restoration in the wooded area and the
sodding of the berm directly behind Ciatti's should be
able to be completed within 60 days. The partnership
owners were not being cooperative on that and the
Council might want to consider what additional
guarantees might be reasonable. The City usually has
good compliance in situations like this when it has a
cashier's check or a letter-of-credit.
Enger discussed the issue of sidewalk location. The
current plans show the exact location and he suggested
that it be placed concurrent with and prior to
completion of the shopping center. The sidewalk would
require a five-foot easement from the shopping center
as not all of it would be on City property.
For the landscaping in general, there should be a time
limit for completion. It should be no longer than six
months after the completion of the shopping center.
Harris said that she would like to pursue guarantees of
compliance with a cashier's check or a letter of credit
on this issue.
Tenpas asked for clarification of the ownership of this
property. Was Ciatti's an owner or tenant, and were
there two separate corporate entities involved in
developing the site? Also when the Frank's project
came through didn't the Council address that screening
l�9
i

t
( problem? Part of the building of the Frank's addition 1
was going to alleviate that problem. s
Enger replied that the property was in one ownership
and was now being divided. Brody and Margolis owned
it. Frank's Nursery and Crafts would purchase a lot 1
which would be split off at the boundary of its
building. }
f
Tenpas said that it should be made clear that the trash e
problem is Ciatti's and the landscaping and other
issues were to be dealt with through the partnership.
I
Anderson said he would like to see the City place a #
deadline which would be before winter sets in. .
Eighteen months was far too long to have the situation
continue.
Peterson asked if it wasn't reasonable to expect that 1
the landscaping should be completed in the property '
i
behind Ciatti's and that the rest of the landscaping F
should be concurrent with the Frank's Nursery portion
of it. Then the only unanswered question was whether
to build the Ciatti's trash enclosure before 1
construction of the Frank's portion. 1
Enger said that to build it out of order might be quite E
expensive. At some point that trash enclosure would be
completed. Staff questioned whether the proponent's
plan was good enough given the complaints Council had 1
received. y
Peterson asked Enger if filling in the old berm cut
were done next week, would there be access for trash
vehicles into the Ciotti facility? Enger replied that
it would be a problem because there wouldn't be a hard
surface access.
i
Harris said she thought that if the sodding and
planting were done on the existing berm now it would go
a long way to alleviating the unsightliness. Would
this be completed before winter sets in at Frank's? i
Paul Strother of Cluts, O'Brien, Strother Architects
said that what was under consideration was actually two
projects -- Frank's and the rest of Eden Place Center.
It's possible two contractors would be involved
although it's likely there would be only one. It's the
developer's intention that upon approval, Frank's will g
complete drawings. The partnership's drawings were
currently under way and as soon as possible, bids would
be received and construction started on both parts. I
I'
I
City Council Minutes 6 April 3, 1990
The center portion is contingent upon the viability of
Frank's. Once that viability was established, it would
start. In terms of timing, he said that plans were
anticipated to be done in mid-April. Frank's plans
would be done in mid-April. It would take two to four
weeks to receive bids and construction could start in
about a month. With that kind of timetable the project
would be complete by the fall season so that the
landscaping could be in place.
Mr. Strother stated that early work on the trash
enclosure would be difficult to do because of footing
work and excavation. It would all have to come
together at one time. That part could be first to be
completed and would speed things up about a month or
so.
Anderson asked if the berm on the back side could be
done by winter. Strother replied that the back will be
done last but could be done by freeze-up.
Pauly said either a letter-of-credit or a bond or some
other security could be used as a guarantee. However,
if this work was not accomplished by fall, it was
unlikely that the city could cause it to be
accomplished by fall because it couldn't start
something at freeze-up.
John Winston spoke for Frank's. He said he didn't want
to have Frank's punished for the actions of the
previous developer or the manager of Ciatti's. Frank's
was willing to do whatever was reasonable. He wanted
reasonable time limits to get it done.
Harris assured Winston that the intent was not to
penalize Frank's but rather try to address an
incompletion which had existed for many months. It
appeared that sodding and plantings on the existing
berm would go a long way to alleviating the problem.
She said she was comfortable with putting some
parameters that would insure completion of the
plantings on the existing berming.
Mayor Peterson recapped the two issues -- the plantings
behind Ciatti's and the problem of the trash -- and
said he believed 60 days was a reasonable time and some
sort of financial guarantee would be requested. The
only unresolved question was whether the trash would be
managed better, and if not, to find other vehicles to
[ insure compliance.
(
69t
City Council Minutes 7 April 3, 1990
Tenpas asked when the hard surface was scheduled to be
completed. If it's not completed by fall, then can the
City require a bond? Pauly said it would create
difficulty because a bond was always a front-end
technique. It's not feasible to require it later in
the process.
Anderson stressed again that he would like to insure
that the timetable would be met.
Peterson asked Pauly if the Council could appropriately
pass the second reading at this time with the Council's
stipulations. Pauly inquired from Enger as to the
status was of the developer's agreement. Enger replied
that the developer's agreement was complete and in the
Council packet this evening. It did not include the
provisions in the tone being talked about this evening.
If the Council didn't do anything prior to building
permit issuance, a bond or some kind of guarantee would
need to be presented before the building permit would
be issued to guarantee the remainder of the
landscaping. The current form of the bonds did not
give a minimum start time; he suggested using a letter-
of-credit, not a bond, because a letter-of-credit is
easier to go after. Secondly, the landscaping should
be completed within six months after the completion of
the building.
Anderson asked the status of the original bond. Enger
replied that there was a bond on the landscaping.
Several attempts had been made to get the landscaping
behind Ciatti's completed. Part of the difficulty was
that without cooperation, the City would have to go
through legal procedures which are time-consuming and
expensive.
Peterson suggested that this item be continued for two
weeks to allow for some discussion between Pauly,
Enger, and the owners to modify the agreement. 1.
MOTION
Harris moved that this item be continued to April 17
with instructions to staff and the City Attorney to
meet with the owners to adddress the issues. Motion
seconded by Tenpas.
Enger asked how the Council would feel about granting
approvals contingent upon the developer meeting those
concerns. Ms. Harris said she would feel comfortable
with that and would amend her motion to so reflect.

IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS J
j.
A. MINNESOTA VIKINGS INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY, by Kraus l
Anderson Construction Company. Request for Planned
Unit Development District Review on 15 acres with
waivers, Site Plan Review and Zoning District Amendment
within the I-2 Zoning District on 4 acres, Preliminary
Plat of 15 acres into 1 lot for construction of an
indoor football practice and training complex.
Location: 9520 Viking Drive. A continued public
hearing. (Ordinance #15-90-PUD-8-90, PUD District and
Rezoning; Resolution No. 90-84, Preliminary Plat) I
Jeff Diamond, Assistant General Manager for the
Minnesota Vikings, spoke for the proponent. There are till
three major reason for pursuing the project: (1) The i
Vikings are obliged to offer their facility to one of 1
the Super Bowl teams in 1992 in conjunction with ,
Minnesota's Super Bowl bid. The current bubble is not
acceptable. (2) The bubble is ten years old and is at R
the end of its useful life. (3) The Vikings wish to g
have their training camps here instead of in Mankato
and need a proper facility for that purpose in Eden
Prairie. 1
1
Gary Tushie from Tushie-Montomgery Associates spoke
about the essentials of the project. He showed
architect's drawings of the planned facility with
surrounding landscaping.
i
Enger said that the Planning Commission reviewed this
item at its October 23 meeting and made recommendations
for approval to the Council. The Planning Commission
further recommended the use of the metal panel exterior
material based on the following: (1) That 20% of the
building was below grade, as proposed. (2) That the
natural features along the west and east elevations
helped to block the view of the building. (3) That
metal was common and unique to the indoor practice
facilities because of the height, size, and structural
requirements. The Planning Commission further I
recognized the following as mitigating measures for the
height variance request: the relationship to other j
buildings in the area which included the office tower I
located directly to the east; second the location near
I-494; third, the building was tucked into the hill to
( reduce the impact on the south and east building
I
7
1
i
City Council Minutes 9 April 3, 1990
elevations; fourth, there were natural the features of e
hills and trees which helped to block the view.
This would be the largest metal building in Eden
Prairie and the Planning Commission was trying to make
recommendations in such a way that it did not set a j
precedent for other proposals for a metal building.
The Staff report of October 20 recommended approval
subject to the following: That the land use and
building was unique to the Minnesota Vikings and would
not create a precedent for industrial buildings, and ,
they had provided adequate justification for
landscaping, height, and exterior building materials as !I
requested. Prior to the Council review the proponent
would submit building materials, colors and samples. t
Tushie discussed the details of the design of the
building which would be a white or light-colored I
building. i
Enger continued by saying prior to final plat the 1
proponent shall submit detailed storm water runoff and 1
erosion control plan for review by the Watershed
District and the City Engineer. In the wooded area
there would be a large amount of tree removal and
replacement; the Planning Commission decided the
Vikings could be granted relief from a portion of the
replacement criteria because replacement that much j
plant material would be tight on the site.
1
Since that time recommendations from the Park and j
Recreation Commission would have the Vikings comply 1
fully with the policy. The change in the roof is in 1
line with Planning Commission recommendations. 1
,@
Enger asked the proponent if the existing bubble would 9
be taken down and what the use of the three-quarter 1
field would be. He also asked how many players would be
there during training camp and how does that affect
parking on the site.
Lambert gave the report of the Park and Recreation
Commission. The Commission reviewed the proposal on
November 6 and had two main concerns: (1) On the east
side of the building there was a one-to-one slope and 1
there was some concern about the water coming off the
building on to such a slope. (2) In relation to the 333
trees, the Parks Commission concurred that the total
should not be reduced less than 744 caliper inches. It
recommended to approve the proposal on a 5-0 vote
subject to including the additional 204 caliper inches
located somewhere on the site.
AI
City Council Minutes 10 April 3, 1990
Diamond addressed the parking space issue. There were
104 spaces but during training, over half the players
are from out of town and would be bussed from local
hotels, so parking should be no problem.
Anderson asked Enger if a 40-foot hill was going to be
taken down. Enger replied this was correct.
Anderson asked what will be seen from the north side of
the building. Mr. Tushie replied that the roof will be
buffered by the grade change and the trees. Mr.
Anderson asked if the roof would be white. Mr. Tushe
replied that it will be a light color. Mr. Anderson
asked if the color of the roof was open to discussion.
Enger suggested that the elevations were repre-
sentative of what would be seen and the color will be
very important. He would suggested that Council might
want to see the roof color before it was installed.
Mr. Anderson suggested the proponent talk with staff on
this.
There were no further comments from the audience.
MOTION
Harris moved to close the hearing and approve the first
reading of Ordinance #15-90-PUD-8-90. Pidcock
seconded. Motion carried 5-0.
Harris moved adoption of Resolution 90-84 approving the
preliminary plat and direct staff to prepare
development agreement incorporating Commission and
staff recommendations and most specifically addressing
Anderson's concerns. Pidcock seconded. Motion carried
5-0.
B. ROUND LAKE VIEW ADDITION, by Zachman Development
Company. Request for Zoning District Change from Rural
to R1-9.5 on 4.55 acres, and Preliminary Platting of
15.31 acres into 15 single family lots, 1 outlot, and
road right-of-way. Location: Northwest quadrant of
Valley View Road and Duck Lake Road. (Ordinance #16-
90. Rezoning and Resolution No. 90-85, Preliminary
Plat)
Jullie said that notice of this public hearing was
property announced and mailed out to surrounding
property owners.
PS

City Council Minutes 11 April 3, 1990
Bob Smith representing Zachman Development Company
presented the plans for the area which included three
different concepts that had been reviewed. He
requested Preliminary Plat Approval of the project for
44 lots, and rezoning of approximately four-and-one- I
half acres of property at this location consisting of
15 lots in phase one. The remaining 10 acres of the
site would remain in the possession of Rose Pavelka, s
the fee owner of the property, and would also remain
unzoned to maintain the green acres status of the
property. Additionally her property came out to the
center of Duck Lake Road and it was proposed that Duck i
Lake Road would be platted with the proper dedicated a
public right-of-way. A 40-foot wide outlot for a
walkway had been identified. A bituminous walkway
I
would be installed on the outlot. Sidewalk would be
installed on the entire project as the street was '
installed. One of the concerns was the double fronted ;
lots on Duck Lake Road because the road was
approximately 6 feet lower than the proposed back
yards. A slight berm separating Duck Lake Road from
the proposed house pads would be provided.
One of the concerns of one of the residents of the
Muirfield Addition was the amount of storm water runoff
on the west side of the property. Smith pointed out
one-third of the water would be directed into a swale
and the rest into the street into catch basins.
The proposal includes the planting of one tree per lot.
A landscape plan had been submitted on Phase One.
Enger said that the Planning Commission reviewed this
1
item at its March 12 meeting and recommended approval
on a 7-0 vote subject to the recommendations of the y
staff report of March 9 and plans dated February 28. 1
Lambert said the Parks Commission reviewed this at the
March 19 meeting and recommended approval on a 4-0 vote
per the staff report.
Anderson asked if the City will provide the trail to
the school and maintain it. Lambert replied that the
developer would install a trail on the property. The
City will construct a trail from that trail into the i
school park site. This would be done this year.
Anderson also asked if it would be better to put I
boulevard trces in this area rather than one tree per
lot because the lots are so close. Dietz said that the
boulevards get congested with gas, electric and
telephone lines so more right of way would be needed.
29‘
I
City Council Minutes 12 April 3, 1990
Anderson said he would like to begin looking at the
advantages of trees for the environment. Dietz said an
alternative would be to put them on a setback to the
street, but they would be on private property in that
case. Lambert pointed out the difficulty of
maintaining trees when salt is put on them in the
winter. Smith said that the plan to place them within
five feet of the property line would make them look as
much as possible like boulevard trees.
There were no further comments from the audience.
MOTION
Anderson moved that the public hearing be closed and
that the first reading of Ordinance 16-94 for rezoning
be approved. Seconded by Pidcock. Motion carried 5-0.
Anderson moved that Resolution 90-85 be adopted

VIII.REPORTS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS
IX. APPOINTMENTS
XL REPORTS OF OFFICERS. BOARDS & COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Council Members
1) Discussion on sewer backup
Pidcock said she received a call on a sewer backup
on Dell Road and the people in the cul-de-sac on
Beacon Circle who have suffered significant
amount of damage to their property from that
backup. They were pleased at the letter that was
set out from Mr. Dietz, and they were also asking
that if the city has no liability for what
happened, who does? There was an impact on these
people should they ever want to sell as they will
797
City Council Minutes 14 April 3, 1990
have to file a real estate disclosure telling of
the backups. She requested that the staff
investigate if there were miscalculation9 on the
installation of that storm sewer. She asked if it
were possible to send out a notice in utility
bills explaining what can cause backups to occur.
Dietz had given direction to his staff to check
that line to make sure that there weren't flaws in
there. It was possible to send stuffers with the
utility bills, but then the bills would go in an
envelope rather than the postcard.
2) Removal of treeas at Wooddale Church
Pidcock then asked Mr. Enger if he knew anything
about the removal of trees at the Wooddale Baptist
Church's parking lot. Enger replied that those
trees are all within an approved area of removal
for future phases. Some of them came out a little
bit early because they needed some fill for the
phase being worked on now. The church was not
allowed to remove all the trees immediately as it
had originally wanted to do, but all the trees
were covered in an approval for eventual removal.
3) Deer buried at MnDOT facility
�- Pidcock asked about the deer buried in the MnDOT
building on Bryant Lake Drive. Staff reported that
the action has been taken to inform MnDOT that it
cannot bury the road kills on that property in
Eden Prairie.
4) Barking Does
Pidcock asked if anything can be done
about dogs that are continually barking? Jullie
said that the procedure is to contact the police
and send the animal control officer out. Jullie
also said that it's easier to get results when
more than just one neighbor complains.
5) Unlicensed Cars
Pidcock asked if somebody would investigate cars
without licenses. She has heard of cars in the
Willow Creek neighborhood parked on private
property without licenses.

City Council Minutes 15 April 3, 1990
6) City Manager Review
Pidcock asked when the Council would be doing the
City Manager review. Jullie said it has been
about a year since the process was last done.
Harris said she would like the specific goals they
spoke about included in this review. Jullie said
he could have material ready the first meeting in
May.
B. Report of the City Manager
1) Set Study Session for April 17. 1990
MOTION
Anderson moved, seconded by Tenpas, to set a
special work session 6:00 p.m. , April 17, to
discuss community survey. Motion approved 5-0.
C. Report of City Attorney
1) Status of Landfill Matters
Mr. Pauly said that today Woodlake Sanitary
Services had responded to the City's motion for
summary disposition of its application for permit
to expand Flying Cloud Landfill. That motion
made by the City was on the basis that the PCA
required approval of the FAA because of the
proximity of Flying Cloud landfill. Woodlake's
reponse was filing an action for declaratory
judgment in the Minnesota Court of Appeals to have
that rule declared unconstitutional. We also had
been advised that in Woodlake's brief to the law
judge it would be seeking a variance from PCA
rules. There is a variance procedure although
there are no standards for the variance in the PCA
rules. That motion was to be heard on April 9.
•
Tenpas asked if there was any update on how the
lobbyist is doing at the Capitol. Pauly said that
Mr. Jerich had been talking with various people in
the Senate primarily, and a letter had been
prepared for the mayor's signature to be sent to
each of the senators calling attention to the two
new provisions in the amendments to the Waste
Management Act and the fact that they would erode
local government authority. Rep. Pauly had also
distributed a letter to the various senators.
9uo
City Council Minutes 16 April 3, 1990
Tenpas asked for the lobbyist to provide a
periodic update. Pidcock agreed that this was
appropriate.
Harris asked Pauly about a city that was trucking
its waste to Wisconsin and if this was not
allowed. Pauly said he heard of a similar
situation in New York. In that particular case the
local authority was upheld so this case may be
similar. Mr. Pauly said he'd look into it.
D. Report of the Director of Planning
E. Director of Parks. Recreation do Natural Resources
1) Acquisition of Riley Lake Park Property
Lambert called attention to the draft of the
purchase agreement. He had met with Mrs. Jacques
and her attorney and, having gone over the issues,
Lambert believed that there was agreement.
Basically the final purchase price is $494,933.00
based on buying 23.2 acres at $21,333.33 an acre.
The City would buy 20.8 acres first and that will
be $443,000.00, leaving a 1.4-acre parcel to which
there isn't clear title. All the other issues are
settled. The City agreed not to put a boat launch
in the northern 500 feet of property for at least
15 years and that it would make its best effort to
acquire those parcels to the south and put the
boat launch there. Regarding her use of the road
through the barnyard, she can use that until the
City needs it. If need be, the City would grade
in a similar road on her property line. The City
agreed that it would notify her prior to removing
any of the buildings; 30 days would be sufficient.
Anderson asked about the additional plantings.
Lambert replied that the City would provide a
landscape area along the boundary. Plantings will
be on City property as she wanted.
MOTION
Anderson moved to approve the contract with Mrs.
Jacques on the Riley Lake property. Pidcock
seconded. Motion carried 5-0.

1. Award Contract for City Street Sweeping. I.C. 52-

Dietz reported that bids were opened for a street
sweeping project and two were received. The low
bid of $22,000 was from ASTECH and the second bid
was Clean Sweep at $22,380. Dietz explained in a
memorandum why the contract should be awarded to
Clean Sweep despite the fact that it was $380
higher.
MOTION
Harris moved adoption of Resolution *90-80.
Pidcock seconded. Anderson asked if there were
any potential for legal problems. Dietz said they
were possible but believes there are sound reasons
in the interests of the City to award the contract
to Clean Sweep. Harris and Peterson agreed with
this. Motion carried 5-0.

MEMORANDUM
p#, TO: Mayor and City Council
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources 4
DATE: April 10, 1990
SUBJECT: Overnight Policy for Outdoor Center
The existing City Code allows use of parks until 10 p.m. On
occasion we have had requests for youth groups to hold an
overnight experience at the Outdoor Center. We have also had
requests for adult groups to be able to stay beyond the 10 p.m.
park curfew.
The major reason for the park curfew is noise from the park that
may disturb adjacent residential neighborhoods. Staff believe that
there may be some rationale to consider certain circumstances where
overnight use of the Outdoor Center is permitted and extension of
the 10 p.m curfew is also permitted within a defined policy.
The parks, recreation and natural resources staff recommend
allowing limited overnight use of the facility and extended use
beyond the curfew within the following policy on a trial basis:
1. Groups would be allowed to stay beyond the 10 p.m. curfew only
if the group stays inside the Outdoor Center after 10 p.m.
This may be difficult to guarantee, especially during summer
months, and if this becomes a problem the City may restrict
this to winter months only (November-March). There should
also be an additional fee for staying beyond 10 p.m., as it
is difficult to get staff to come back after 10 p.m. to close
the facility.
2. Overnights will be restricted to use of the facility indoors
after 10 p.m. and limited to no more than 24 people, with an
adult supervisor to child ratio of 1-8.
3. A flat charge for use of the Outdoor Center is $25, plus $5
per hour after the first hour. This fee would get rather
expensive for a 13-14 hour overnight use by a church group,
Boy Scouts, Campfire Girls, etc.; therefore, staff would
recommend the fee based on $15, plus $5 a hour for the amount
of time spent at the Outdoor Center before 10 p.m., plus a
flat charge of an additional $25 from 10 p.m. until 9 a.m. the
following day. The group shall be out of the building by 9
a.m. and shall have cleaned up the building by that time.
qoy
(For example, a group using the building from 5 p.m. on Friday
f` until 9 a.m. on Saturday would be charged $60). Fifty dollars
would be the minimum charge.
4. Overnights would be limited to Eden Prairie based, non-profit
groups such as churches, schools, Boy Scouts, Campfire Girls,
etc. This service would not be available to individual
families for overnights or for individuals that may live in
Eden Prairie, but want to have a church from outside the
community use the facility for this purpose.
Although the City staff do not recommend that the City get into the
"camping business" we do feel that a limited amount of overnight
use of this facility could accommodate a need for some groups
within the community and as long as the users of this facility do
not abuse this by causing a conflict with the adjacent residential
neighborhoods, staff would support this use of this recreational
facility.

- MEMORANDUM -
.
TO: Mayor and City Counci
FROM: Eugene A. Dietz
DATE: April 5, 1990
RE: Lot 5, Block 1 Chatham Woods
6268 Chatham way
PID# 05-116-22-21-0016
Over the years, several lots in the Chatham Woods area have gone tax forfeit
due to two factors. First of all, special assessments for the improvements to
the subdivision were quite high and approached $18,000. Additionally, some of
the lots have severe soil problems connected to them such that the combination
of the selling price of the lot, special assessments and soil corrective work
made the parcels uneconomic. This problem has escalated due to interest and
penalties on the special assessments which have been accumulating to the point
that special assessments now stand at $29,370 for this lot.
I have been approached by a potential buyer of the above captioned lot with an
offer to resolve the issue. After discussion with the Assessor and City
Manager, I would propose to reduce special assessments to $22,000. The basis
for this recommendation is as follows:
1. We have a recent sale in the area for a buildable lot of $42,500.
2. Piling to construct a home on the lot is estimated to cost $20,000.
3. The minimum bid that Hennepin County has set for the lot is $10,000
of which we would get $9,000 toward special assessments (90%).
The total cost for the lot would be approximately $43,000 -- piling costs,
special assessments and that money which would go to Hennepin County -- which
is approximately the value that we estimate an improved lot in this neighbor-
hood to be worth. With this reduction, it m� allow the lot to built on and
we can at least get a reasonable return on our special assessments at this
point. We could "sit" on the lot and eventually the land prices in Eden
Prairie would probably get to a point where specials could be paid and the
extra building costs could he absorbed and theoretically without loss to the
City. However, that could take many years. This reduction seems a reasonable
alternative.
If Council concurs, I will make necessary arrangements with Hennepin County to
reduce the pending special assessments.

and comment on the Plan Amendment. At least 30 days before the
public hearing the City provided the county and the school
district boards with information on the fiscal and economic
implications of the Plan Amendment.
Section 2. Adoption of Program Amendment. On the basis
of the proposed Program Amendment prepared by officers of the City
and the information elicited from consultation with the planning
agency and at the public hearing referred to in Section 1.03, it
is hereby found, determined and declared:
2.01. The Council hereby ratifies and confirms its
determination that there is a need for new development in the area
of the City encompassed by the Development District to provide
employment opportunities, to improve the tax base and to improve
the general economy of the state. The Program Amendment proposes
that the City undertake certain additional public highway, street,
water system and park improvements to encourage the development of
land in the Development District. The Council hereby finds that
the proposed development activities to be undertaken pursuant to
the Program Amendment would improve the Development District by
encouraging private development of property therein, thereby
increasing employment and the tax base of the City and overlapping
tax jurisdictions. It is in the best interests of the City to
adopt the Program Amendment.
2.02. Upon review of the Program, the information
elicited from the planning agency and at the public hearing, and
on the basis of the findings made in Section 2.01, this Council
hereby adopts the Program Amendment and orders that it be placed
on file in the office of the City Clerk.
Section 3. Approval of Plan Amendment. On the basis of
the Plan Amendment and the information elicited at the public
hearing referred to in Section 1.03, it is hereby found,
determined and declared:
1n
I
3.01. The Plan Amendment provides the means to finance
the costs of the additional public highway, street, water system
and park improvements to be undertaken pursuant to the Program
Amendment. The Original Plans, as amended and supplemented by the
Plan Amendment (as so amended and supplemented, the "Plans")
contain a statement of objectives for the improvement of the
Development District, a statement as to the development program i
for the respective District and a statement of the property within
the Development District which the City intends to acquire. The
Plans also estimate the capital and administrative costs of the
Development District, the amount of bonded indebtedness.to be
incurred, the sources of revenues to finance or otherwise pay
public costs of the respective District, the captured net tax
capacity of the respective District at completion and the duration
of the District. The Plans also describe and identify the
development activities to be undertaken or expected to be
undertaken in each District. The Plan Amendment further contains
an estimate of the impact of the proposed tax increment financing
on the net tax capacities of all taxing jurisdictions in which the
each District is located. All the captured tax capacity is
necessary for the objectives of each District.
3.02. This Council hereby finds that the proposed
development of the Development District to be encouraged pursuant
to the Program Amendment would not, in the opinion of this
Council, occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future and that therefore the use of tax
increment financing is necessary. Improvements to the street and
highway access, traffic flow and the water supply are necessary in
order to permit additional development to occur within the
Development District.
3.03. This Council hereby finds that the Plans conform
to the general plan for the development of the City as a whole. r
Under the general plan for the development of the City the
Districts are zoned so as to permit the uses proposed by the
Program Amendment.
3.04. This Council hereby ratifies and confirms that
the Plan Amendment will afford maximum opportunity, consistent
with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development
of each the Districts by private enterprise. The development
activities contemplated in the Program Amendment would provide an
opportunity for a significant increase in employment opportunities
in the City and enhance the tax base of the City.
3.05. Upon review of the Plans, the information
elicited at the public hearing and on the basis of the findings in
Sections 3.01 to 3.04, this Council hereby approves the Plan
Amendment.
Section 4. Filing. The Finance Director/Clerk is
hereby authorized and directed to file the Program Amendment and
the Plan Amendment with the Commissioner of Revenue as required by
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 2.

1981 and subsequently amended on March 30, 1982 and May 17,
1983 (as so amended, the "Original Development Program"), for
development of the Development District. It is now necessary
to amend the Original Development Program to provide for
further actions to be taken in furtherance of development in
' the Development District. The actions to be taken by the City
pursuant to this 1990 Amendment to Development Program (the

the property included in the Development District at this time
and in a manner which will best meet those needs.
In order to finance the capital and administration
costs to be incurred by the City in connection with the
Development District, the City adopted, and in certain cases
modified, on the dates indicated below tax increment financing
plans (the "Original Plans") for the following Tax Increment

It is now necessary to amend the Original Plans by the
following Program Amendment to provide a means of financing the
capital and administrative costs to be incurred by the City in

Program Amendment. The amendment of the Original Plans will
authorize additional expenditures to be financed with tax
increment revenues and the acquisition of additional property
only; it will not authorize the incurrence of additional bonded
indebtedness or change the boundaries or the legal duration of
any of the Districts.

G. Estimated Capital and Administrative Costs of the
1990 Proiect.
1. Estimated Cost. The estimated Capital and
Administrative Costs of the 1990 Project are set forth in
Section H of the Program Amendment.
2. Capital Proceeds. The capital proceeds of the
Project, comprising the proceeds of sale of property, are
expected to be $0.
3. Capital and Administrative Costa. The Capital and
Administrative Costs of the 1990 Project, comprising the total
costs expected to be incurred in carrying out the 1990 Project
by the City less the Capital Proceeds thereof, is expected to
be $12,476,000.
H. Payment of Capital and Administrative Costs.
1. In General. All Capital and Administrative Costs
of the 1990 Project will be paid from Tax Increment derived
from the Districts. The City reserves the right to levy
special assessments to finance in whole or in part the costs of
the 1990 Project.
2. Bonded Indebtedness To Be Incurred. No
indebtedness evidenced by Tax Increment Bonds will be incurred
{ in connection with the 1990 Project. The City reserves the
right to issue Special Assessment Bonds to pay, if necessary,
costs of the 1990 Project.
I. Determination and Use of Tax Increment.
1. Characteristics of Districts. Each of the
Districts is an "economic development district" within the
meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 12.
2. Captured Tax Capacity. It is estimated that the
Captured Tax Capacity of all taxable property in each of the
Districts, upon completion of the Development Activities in
accordance with the Plans, will be approximately as follows:
Original Tax Current Tax Captured Tax
District No. , Capacity Capacity Capacity
2 $19,380 $164,927 . $145,547
3 8,406 279,432 271,026
4 224 45,641 45,417
5 42,059 336,248 294,189
6 4,180 172,040 167,860
7 300,230 1,173,254 873,024
-8-

3. Tax Increment Collections. It is estimated that
the Tax Increment to be received each year for the duration of
the Districts is as follows:
District No. 1990 1991 1992 1993
2 $147,000 $ -- $ -- $ --
3 273,700 273,700 273,700 --
4 45,900 45,900 45,900 --
5 297,100 297,100 297,100 --
6 169,500 169,500 169,500 --
7 881,700 881,700 881,700 881,700
4. Apportionment of Costa. Tax Increment from each of 1
the Districts will be used to pay costs of the 1990 Project.
Unexpended tax increment revenues on deposit in the debt service
and other funds relating to the City's Tax Increment Bonds, in
the approximate aggregate amount of $3,300,000, will be applied
to such costs. In addition, it is now estimated that Tax
Increment will be applied to such costs in the following amounts
from the following Districts:
District No. Portion of Estimated Costs
2 $ 147,000
3 821,100
4 137,700
5 891,300
6 508,500
7 3,526,800
Such apportionment is merely an estimate, is subject to change
and is not intended to limit the ability of the City to apply
Tax Increment from a particular District for authorized
expenditures as it deems in the best interests of the City. In
no event will the payment of costs of the 1990 Project be used
to extend the legal duration of a District as set forth in
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.176, Subdivision 1(e).
5. Use of Captured Tax Capacity and Tax Increment.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subdivision 2,
the City hereby determines that it will use 100% of the
Captured Tax Capacity of property located in the Districts, and
100% of the Tax Increment to be derived therefrom, for the
entire duration of the Districts as necessary to pay Capital
and Administrative Costs.

J. Impact of Tax Increment Financina on Other Taxing
jurisdictions.
The taxing jurisdictions encompassing the Districts
will continue to receive taxes as if the Original Tax Capacity
of the Districts were unchanged. While this precludes the
jurisdictions from receiving tax increases due to the
Development Activities, inflation or other development of the
taxable property in the Districts, as the following table
indicates, the Captured Tax Capacity of the Districts comprises
a very small portion of the Tax Capacity of these jurisdictions.
Total Captured Percent of
Taxing Tax Tax Total Tax
Jurisdiction Capacity(1) Capacity(1) Capacity
Hennepin County $1,039,443,380 $1,078,200 0.10%
I.S.D. No. 272 56,206,739 1,078,200 1.92%
City of Eden Prairie 55,681,400 1,078,200 1.94%
Joint I.S.D. No. 287 910,039,949 1,078,200 0.12%
(AVTI)
(1) Adjusted for Fiscal Disparities.
If the Plan Amendment were not adopted, the levies for the
City, School District No. 272, Joint School District No. 287 and the
County would be reduced in 1990 by the apportionment of tax
increment revenues from the funds established for the City's Tax
Increment Bonds. In addition, in 1990 through 1993, the levy for
those taxing jurisdictions would constitute a smaller percentage of
their tax capacity because tax capacity would be increased by the
adjusted captured tax capacity. The estimated impact of adopting
the Plan Amendment, assuming that the taxing jurisdictions' levies
in dollars remain constant in 1990 through 1993, expressed as an
increase in the percentage which the levy is of tax capacity, is as
follows:
Taxing Jurisdiction 1991 1992 1993
City 1.596♦ 0.421% 0.202%
District #272 3.208 0.465 0.224
District #287 0.005 0.001 0.001
County 0.123 0.035 0.017
Total 4.932% 0.922% 0.443%
If the Captured Tax Capacity would not have occurred
but for the Development Activities of the City, the impact on
other taxing jurisdictions would be insignificant.

The effect of the Plan Amendment is to delay the
termination of the Districts until Tax Increment from the
Districts, apportioned as now estimated in Section I(4) hereof,
has paid the Capital and Administrative Costs of the 1990
Project.
K. Effect of Plan Amendment. Except as amended and
supplemented by this Plan Amendment, each of the Original Plans
remains in full force and effect and its provisions apply to
the respective provisions of this Plan Amendment, except to the
extent amended or supplemented hereby.
This Program Amendment and this Plan Amendment were
adopted by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie,
Minnesota on the day of April, 1990.

MEMORANDUM

TO: City Council
FROM: Donald R. Uram, Planner
THRU: Chris Enger, Director of Planning
DATE: April 6, 1990
SUBJECT: Tree Preservation Ordinance
BACKGROUND
•
On June 20, 1988, a meeting of the Developers' Forum was held to
discuss builder suggested revisions to the Tree Preservation
Policy. Approximately 15 developer/builders attended this meeting
at which a show of hands unanimously supported the following
revisions to the Eden Prairie Tree Preservation Policy:
1. That the surety requirements be lowered from 250% to 150%
for tree replacement.
2. That flexibility be included in the original computation
of tree loss in the area of the proposed building pads
recognizing that individual house designs and retaining
walls will try to save as many trees as possible.
3. Eliminate the requirement for a 100% replacement of the
first 100 caliper inches of tree loss and increase the
percent at which 100% tree replacement occurs from 60%
to 75%.
On September 6, 1988, the City Council, with Bentley motioning and
Harris seconding, moved to have the City prepare a Tree
Preservation Ordinance that included the revisions suggested by
the Developers' Forum (see Attachment A). Staff has been working
on the ordinance while at the same time administering the policy
for 56 projects.
RECENT ACTIVITY
A final draft of the Tree Preservation Ordinance was completed by
the City Attorney on January 8, 1990. A tentative meeting schedule
was set up which would have allowed for the adoption of the
Ordinance by February 20, 1990.
Prior to a Public Hearing, Staff wanted to extend the courtesy of
reviewing the proposed ordinance with representatives from the
1
Developers' Forum. The first meeting between City Staff and 8
representatives from the Developers' Forum was held on January 30,
1990. Initial comments from Developers and City Staff's response
are as follows:
DEVELOPERS
1. How does the land alteration permit required by the ordinance
relate to preliminary plat approval? The ordinance suggests
that the City Council would have to hold a separate hearing
to approve a land alteration permit. This would add
additional time to the development review process.
CITY
Staff recommends that the ordinance be changed to reflect
the approval of a land alteration permit concurrent with
the approval of the preliminary plat. This change to the
ordinance should occur prior to second reading by the City
Council.
DEVELOPERS
2. The surety requirement for 150% of the cost of tree
replacement is excessive. This figure should be reduced.
CITY
Historically, surety amounts for landscaping have equalled
150% of the cost of trees. Staff maintains this
recommendation considering that a reduction in the surety
amount would make any attempt to cash the surety extremely
difficult. Staff has experienced problems in the past with
trying to cash-in on small surety amounts.
DEVELOPERS
3. No specifications were included within the ordinance for
transplanting wilding trees.
CITY
The City Forester developed specifications for transplanting
wilding trees with the Red Rock Shores' development proposal.
If these specifications are included within the ordinance,
Staff is recommending that wilding trees not exceed 25% of all
replacement trees. This limit is set due to the relatively
low survival rate of transplanted wilding trees (less than
50%).
2
IG�Ju�8
DEVELOPERS :.
4. The ordinance does not allow replacement trees to be planted
on individual lots.
CITY
The ordinance does not preclude tree planting on individual
lots, however, it is not recommended as one of the first
chosen locations because -of maintenance problems during
completion of homes on all of the lots. If the developer
chooses to use individual lot plantings, Staff recommends that
a maintenance schedule be included as part of the land
development responsibility.
DEVELOPERS
5. The ordinance does not address the issue of tree preservation.
CITY
The City ordinance was written specifically for tree
preservation purposes. Since the development of the Tree
Preservation Policy, there has been a reduction in significant
tree loss from approximately 50% to the current average tree
loss of approximately 27%. The Tree Preservation Ordinance
is "designed to provide an incentive to good site planning by
rewarding less tree removal with lower tree replacement."
At the January 8th meeting, it was agreed that another meeting
would take place within two weeks. The Developers' Forum indicated
that they would provide a written response addressing concerns.
The Developers were not ready for the follow-up meeting until
February 20, 1990. Staff anticipated that the response from the
developer's would be directly related to the proposed ordinance,
however, a different approach was taken. Rather than making
suggestions to improve the proposed ordinance, the Developers'
Forum proposed the development of a new ordinance. A summary of
their proposal is as follows:
1. A tree inventory would be done as is currently required.
2. Within a single-family residential subdivision, tree
replacement would be limited to trees removed within the
street right-of-way only. The developer would delineate
construction limits and no trees would be replaced if
removed within the construction zone. Trees removed
outside of that zone would be charged to the developer
at $100 per caliper inch.
3
ioo C
3. There would be a requirement for one, 3" tree to be
planted on an newly subdivided lots.
4. Total tree replacement would be based on tree loss within
the road right-of-way or one, 3" tree per lot, whichever
is greater.
5. Tree replacement would not be required for commercial,
industrial, or multiple family projects.
6. The ordinance should include flexibility in plan design
to save trees. This would include such things as cul-
de-sacs longer than 500 feet, flag lots, and the
possibility of using an 8 to 10 percent street grade.
7. The surety amount would equal 125% of the cost of trees
requiring replacement. After all replacement trees have
been planted, the surety amount would be reduced to 40%.
8. After the final tree replacement inspection has occurred,
all dead or diseased trees would be replaced and the
surety released.
A comparison of the current Tree Preservation Policy and the
Developers' proposal for replacement of either tree loss within the
road right-of-way or one, 3" tree per lot follows:
The City has currently reviewed 56 development proposals requiring
tree replacement, 11 of these have required 100% replacement (see
Attachment B) . The 45 projects that have not required 100%
replacement have averaged a 26.9% tree removal. The average
replacement per project has been 303 caliper inches for a total of
10.254 caliper inches. Since the development of the policy, 29
projects have provided 150% surety for tree replacement. The
surety amounts range from a minimum of $1,064 to a maximum of
$125,250. The average surety amount is $26,469. Based upon an
average project size of 32 lots, and an average cost per caliper
inch of $59.29, the average cost per lot for tree replacement has
been $623.22.
The developers have proposed tree replacement within the road
right-of-way or one, 3" tree per lot, whichever is the greater.
Considering that the right-of-way is approximately 25% of the area
that the City reviews in regards to tree loss, a total replacement
of 2,566 caliper inches would be required. Using one, 3" tree per
lot, a total of 2.787 caliper inches would be required to be
replaced. Based on these figures, the average surety amount would
be approximately $7,000.00. The difference between what the
Developers' Forum representatives are proposing and the City's
current policy is a 75% reduction in both tree replacement and
surety amounts.

IJU'U
In addition, Mr. George Hoff, attorney, has submitted a revised
ordinance following the same format as the City's but has changed
it to one "which puts an emphasis on appropriate design within the
zoning classification instead of a punitive measure for those
property owners with wooded parcels" (see Attachment C). In his
letter, Mr. Hoff states that "the City's proposal is overreaching,"
"the imposition of the tree regulations could well constitute a
taking of the property," and "the proposal by the City does not
seem to provide incentive for the tree preservation they espouse."
The highlights of this revised ordinance are:
1. Tree replacement and the tree replacement formula have
been eliminated.
2. The tree preservation ordinance requires that for each
new lot created, the developer plant one 3" tree.
The Developers' Forum and Mr. Hoff have chosen not to respond to
the proposed Eden Prairie Tree Preservation Ordinance but to
develop a set of ideas for a new tree preservation ordinance.
These ideas would have the effect of either reducing the amount of
tree replacement by approximately 75% (Developers' Forum) or
eliminating tree replacement altogether as suggested by Mr. Hoff.
CONCLUSION
The City's experience with the Tree Preservation Policy includes:
1. Under the direction of the City Council, the Tree
Preservation Policy was developed as an objective method
to review all development proposals. Because a set of
quantifiable standards have been written, it allows the
City the opportunity to review all development proposals
on an equal basis.
2. Tree replacement continues to be a choice a developer
has when designing subdivisions. If the developer
chooses not to replace trees, alternatives exist. These
alternatives include a reduction of the density of the
site plan resulting in less tree removal, alternative
site plans or land uses, and alternative zoning districts
such as the R1-44 Zoning District. This district is
designed specifically to "reserve appropriately located
areas for single family living on large lots where
vegetation, slopes, water bodies, or other significant
natural features are best reserved through large lot
development." This zoning district has yet to be used
as an alternative to tree replacement.
5
3. The Tree Preservation Ordinance is designed to provide
an incentive to good site planning by rewarding lower
tree removal with less tree replacement. Since the
adoption of the policy in 1986, a reduction in
significant tree loss within single family residential
development proposals from approximately 50 percent to
a current average of approximately 27 percent has
occurred. Over 50 projects have been reviewed utilizing
the Tree Policy.
4. The Tree Preservation Ordinance requires a tree
inventory. This inventory is used in the design of the
subdivision and has worked well in preserving trees. The
Developer's Forum has also agreed that the tree inventory
is an essential item regarding the design of development
proposals.
The Tree Preservation Policy was adopted by the City Council
because trees are a disappearing natural resource. Efforts toward
tree preservation during development were not as good as they could
be and because of the Tree Preservation Policy, have gotten better.
Beginning with the tree policy; local involvement from individual
developers and the Developer's Forum, the City has gained broad and
extensive experience with more than fifty development projects.
The City's experience from these projects is a 30% increase in tree
preservation. Staff recommends that the Tree Preservation •
Ordinance be adopted with any revisions directed by the City
Council to be made prior to second reading.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA AMENDING
CITY CODE SECTION 11.55 BY AMENDING THE TITLE THEREOF AND SUBDS.
1, 2, 3 AND 5 THEREOF RELATING TO LAND ALTERATION AND
ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION REGULATIONS; AND AMENDING CITY CODE
SECTION 12.04, SUBD. 5. C. RELATING TO APPROVAL OF SUBDIVISIONS;
AND, ADOPTING BY REFERENCE CITY CODE CHAPTER 1 AND SECTIONS 11.99
and 12.99, WHICH AMONG OTHER THINGS, CONTAIN PENALTY PROVISIONS:
THE CITY COUNCIL OF EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS:
Section 1. City Code Section 11.55, Subd. 1. is amended by
amending the title thereof and amending Subd. 1 to read as
follows:
"SEC. 11.55. MINING OPERATION, LAND ALTERATION, AND
ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION REGULATIONS.
Subd. 1. Declaration of Policy and Purpose.
A. Commercial mining and land alterations are now being and
for some time have been conducted in certain places in the City.
Such acts are inherently accompanied by noise and dust, often
create hazardous conditions and result in lasting disfigurement
of the places where they are carried on and thus tend to inter-
fere with the existing land uses in nearby areas, to discourage
further permanent development of the surrounding properties, to
impair adequate planning or municipal development, and to dimi-
nish the public health, safety and general welfare. It is,
therefore, desirable to regulate both existing operations and any
further extension of such mining operations and land alterations
in the City.
•
B. It is hereby found that tree removal, damage, and
destruction are now, and for some time have been, occurring
in certain areas within the City. Such acts tend to endanger the
natural character of the land from which the trees have been
removed and surrounding lands, and to diminish and impair the
public health, safety, and general welfare. The Council desires
to protect the integrity of the natural environment and finds
that trees do so by providing for better air quality, scenic
beauty, protection against wind and water erosion, and natural
insulation for energy preservation. Further, the Council finds
that trees protect privacy and provide enhancement of property
values. It is therefore the further purpose of this Section to
provide regulations relating to the cutting, removal or killing
of trees, with the consequent damage and destruction of the
wooded and forested areas of the the City, to promote the orderly
development of such areas and thereby minimize public and private
losses; to insure maintenance of the natural vegetation and

topography; to encourage protection and preservation of the
natural environment and beauty of the City; to encourage a
resourceful and prudent approach to urban development of wooded
areas which provides for minimal tree loss and mitigation of tree
removal resulting from development; to provide an objective
method to evaluate a development's impact on trees and wooded
areas and identify whether and how the impact may be reduced; to
provide incentive for creative land use and good site design
which preserves trees while allowing development in wooded areas
with mitigation of tree removal and destruction; and to provide
for enforcement and administration thereby promoting and pro-
tecting the public health, safety and welfare."
Section 2. City Code Section 11.55, Subd. 2. is amended to
read as follows:
"Subd. 2. Definitions. The following terms, as used in this

however, that no permit shall be required by any person making
any excavation in conjunction with a building (i) for which
there has been issued an appropriate building permit, and (ii)
which is to be constructed (a) upon land for which a permit for
land alteration under this Section has previously been issued,
and (b) in accordance with such permit."
Section 4. City Code Section 11.55, Subd. 5 is amended to
read as follows:
"Subd. 5. Application For Land Alteration Permit, Fees,
Council Action, Bond

alteration shall be made in writing to the Council. The applica-
3
tion shall set forth the location and plan for the proposed land
alteration. The application shall also include:
1. The name and address of the person applying for the
permit.
2. The name and address of the owner of the land subject
to the land alteration.
3. The estimated period of time within which the land
alteration will be conducted.
4. A topographic map of the land on which the proposed land
alteration is to occur having a scale of one inch equals 50 feet
and showing ground elevation contours at 2 foot intervals. The
map shall show:
(a) The land as it exists prior to the proposed
land alteration and a minimum of 100 feet of land abutting the
land.
(b) The proposed ground elevation contours at 2 foot
intervals of the land when the land alteration is completed.
(c) A regrading, drainage, and planting plan, if
appropriate for the land.
(d) The location and size of building pads.
5. A statement relating to the proposed use of the land
including the type of building or structure situated thereon or
contemplated to be built thereon.
6. A tree inventory certified by a registered land
surveyor, landscape architect or forester depicting:
(a) The size, species, condition, and location on
the land of all significant trees.
On large wooded sites, forest mensuration methods may
be used to determine the total diameter inches of trees outside
the area of the proposed land alteration.
(b) Significant trees which will be lost due to the
proposed land alteration. Significant trees shall be considered
lost as a result of: (i) grade change or land alteration,
whether temporary or permanent, of greater than one (1) foot
measured vertically, affecting 60% (as measured on a horizontal
plane) or more of the tree's root zone; (ii) utility construction
(i.e. sewer, water, storm sewer, gas, electric, telephone and
cable TV) resulting in the cutting of 60% or more of the tree's
roots within the root zone; (iii) mechanical injury to the trunk
4
low.3-
of a significant tree causing loss of more than 40% of the bark;
or, (iv) compaction to a depth of 6 inches or more of 60% or more
of the surface of the soil within a significant tree's root zone.
(c) The number, type and size of trees required to be
replaced pursuant to this Section.
(d) The location of the replacement trees.
B. Permit Fees for Land Alterations. A fee in an amount
determined by the Council and fixed by resolution must be paid at
the time of making the application. In the event the application
for a permit is denied, the fee shall be returned to the appli-
cant.
C. Council Action on a Land Alteration Permit Application.
Within a reasonable time after receipt of an application that
conforms with the requirements of this Subdivision and payment of
the application fee, the Council shall approve or deny issuance
of a permit. The Council may approve the permit subject to con-
ditions stated on the face of the permit, and in all cases, the
time period within which the land alterations are to be completed
shall be stated on the face of the permit. Approval, denial, or
approval subject to conditions of a permit shall be based upon
the following factors:
1. Whether, and the extent to which, the land alterations
�. may create any safety risks to surrounding persons or property or
exacerbate any existing risk.
2. Whether, and the extent to which, the land alterations
may cause any harm to the environment including, but not limited
to, noise, dust, erosion, undue destruction of vegetation, and
accumulation of waste materials and pollutants.
3. Whether the physical characteristics of the land,
including but not limited to topography, vegetation, suscep-
tibility to erosion or siltation, susceptibility to flooding,
water storage or retention, are such that the land is not
suitable for alteration or the use contemplated.
4. Whether the land alteration or proposed use is likely to
cause substantial environmental damage.
5. Whether the land alteration or the proposed use will be
detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the
public.
6. Whether adequate plans have been made for restoring the
land upon completion of the land alteration.
5
7. Whether there is a substantial likelihood that the
applicant will be able to comply with the rules and regulations
of Subd. 7 of this Section.
8. Whether the land proposed for the land alteration is
zoned for the use to which the land shall be put after the land
alteration is completed.
9. Approval or the issuance, of a permit for land
alteration shall be further subject to and conditioned upon
compliance by the Developer with the following:
(a) Developer Required to Replace Lost Trees. A
Developer shall replace significant live trees lost or reasonably
anticipated to be lost as a result of grading, building upon, or
any other land alteration of, the land immediately or in the
future, by the Developer, his agent, successor in interest, or
any other person to whom or by whom all or any part of the land
may be sold, graded, built upon, or altered by planting that
number of trees ("replacement trees") determined in accordance
with the following formula:
A = Total Diameter Inches of Significant Trees
Lost as a Result of the Land Alteration
B = Total Diameter Inches of Significant Trees
Situated on the Land.
C = Tree Replacement Constant (1.33)
D = Replacement Trees (Number of Caliper Inches)
( (A/B) x C ) X A = D
EXAMPLE
A = 337
B = 943 l
C = 1.33
D = 160
( (337/943) x 1.33 ) x 337 = 160 1
q�{
(b) Location of Replacement Trees. Replacement trees
shall be planted in one or more of the following areas on the
land:
1. Restoration areas including steep slopes.
2. Outlots or common areas.
3. Puffer zones between different land uses and/or
activities.

(d) Time to Perform. Replacement trees shall be
planted not less than 18 months from the date of issuance of the
permit.
(e) Dead or Unhealthy Trees. Any replacement tree
which is not alive or healthy one (1) year after the date that
the last replacement tree has been planted shall be removed and a
new healthy tree of the same size and species shall be planted in
place of the removed tree. A new healthy tree of the same size
and species shall be planted in place of any replacement tree
missing one (1) year after such date. Planting shall occur not
later than the first fall or spring following such year.
Trees planted in place of removed trees shall consist of
"certified nursery stock" as defined by Minnesota Statutes,
S18.46.
(f) Agreement to Replace Trees-Security. A Developer
shall, prior to the approval of, or issuance of a permit for, any
land alteration in connection with which trees are required to be
replaced by the provisions of this Section enter into such writ-
ten agreement or agreements with the City in such form and in
such substance as shall be approved by the City Manager whereby
the Developer shall undertake to comply with the provisions and
conditions imposed by this Section or in connection with any such
approval or issuance of a permit and shall provide security for
the performance of its obligations to comply with such provisions
and conditions. The security may consist of a bond, letter of
credit, cash or escrow deposit, all in such form and substance as
shall be approved by the City Manager.
The amount of security shall be 150% of the estimated cost
to furnish and plant the replacement trees ("estimated cost").
The estimated cost shall be at least as much as the reasonable
amount charged by nurseries for the furnishing and planting of
the replacement trees. The estimated cost shall be subject to
approval by the City. In the event the estimated cost submitted
by the Developer to the City is not approved by the City the City
shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine the
estimated cost.
•
10oaf\1
The security shall be maintained at least for one (1) year
after the date that the last replacement tree has been planted.
Upon a showing by the Developer and such inspection as may be
made by the City, that portion of the security may be released by
the City equal to the estimated cost of the trees replaced and
which are alive and healthy at the end of such year. Any portion
of the security not entitled to be released at the end of such
year shall be maintained and shall secure the Developer's obliga-
tion to remove and replant replacement trees which are not alive
or are unhealthy at the end of such year. Upon completion of the
replanting of such trees the entire security may be released.
D. Duty to Obtain Bond or Letter of Credit Prior to
Issuance of Land Alteration Permit. The Council may make its
approval of the issuance of a land alteration permit contingent
upon applicant posting a bond or letter of credit in addition to
the security for replacement of trees of not less than $25,000.00
in such form and amount as the Council shall determine within ten
(10) days of said approval and prior to commencement of any land
alteration."
Section 5. City Code Section 12.04, Subd. 5. C. is amended
to read as follows:
"C. No plan will be approved for a subdivision - (i)
which covers an area subject to soil erosion or periodic
flooding, or which has poor drainage, unless the subdivider
agrees to make improvements which will, in the opinion of the
City Engineer, make the area safe for occupancy, and provide ade-
quate street and lot drainage, (ii) unless there has been
compliance with Section 11.55 of the Code, or (iii) if the
Council makes any of the following findings:
(1) That the proposed subdivision is in conflict
with applicable general and specific plans, including but not
limited to the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan and zoning
regulations.
(2) That the design or improvement of the pro-
posed subdivision is in conflict with applicable development
plans.
(3) That the physical characteristics of the
site, including but not limited to topography, vegetation,
susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to
flooding, water storage, and retention, are such that the site is
not suitable for the type of development or use contemplated.
(4) That the site is not physically suitable for
the proposed density of development.
(5) That the design of the subdivision or the
proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmen-
tal damage.

Re: Eden Prairie Tree Policy
Our File No: 2826-001
Gentlemen:
{ Please find enclosed with this letter a modification of Eden
Prairie's proposed Tree Preservation Ordinance. What I have done
is make changes to the Eden Prairie proposal and kept it in the •-
same form. The deletions are shown by strike outs and additions
by underlining. For your meeting with City officials next Tuesday,
you may want to have a "clean" copy which would not show the
strikeouts and underlining. If so, just let us know before your
meeting.
Over all, the change in the Ordinance is one which puts an emphasis
on appropriate design within the zoning classification instead of
a punitive measure for those property owners with wooded parcels.
The preamble language found at Subd. 1.8 has been altered
substantially to shift the emphasis to prohibition of "unnecessary"
destruction of vegetation.
The major regulatory changes are the following:
1. That the issuance of a permit is conditioned upon the
developer demonstrating that the land alteration proposed
destroys the fewest trees possible for the type of zoning
allowed.
2. Regardless of the appropriateness of design, the developer
will have to plant one new 3" diameter tree for each lot,
regardless of destruction of existing vegetation.

3. That the City is given 90 days within which to approve or deny
a permit. If the permit is not acted upon within that time
it shall be deemed approved.
4. That the determination on the issuance of the permit may be
subject to whether or not substantial environmental or
"general welfare" damage is going to be done, however,
allowed use under the current zoning must be taken into
account.
5. That a permit for land alteration and a subdivision may be
denied in the event that maximum tree preservation through
appropriate design is not achieved, taking into account the
density of development allowed by guiding and zoning of the
property.
I feel the foregoing changes are appropriate and in keeping with
the City's authority to regulate the cutting of trees. Eden
Prairie is a Statutory City and thus all authorization for its
regulations must have a statutory basis.
In my view, regardless of what the City calls their ordinance, it
is in effect a form of subdivision regulation. Minnesota cities are
authorized to adopt subdivision regulations by Minn. Stat.
§462.358. That Statute grants broad ranging authority to the City
to mandate design requirements which are appropriate for the
community. It also contains specific statutory authorization for
the dedication of parks (or fees in lieu thereof), streets, storm
sewers and other public necessities. There is no statutory
authorization which would allow a city to require that a developer
plant a tree for each tree (or portion thereof) removed as part of
a lawful development permitted by the property's zoning.
Consequently, absent express statutory authorization, the City's
proposal is overreaching. Thus, the redraft which we have done
utilizes the City's design review authority. While in my view not
necessary, the offer of planting a 3" tree is an appropriate
compromise measure.
Additionally, for those property owners with heavily wooded
parcels, the imposition of the tree regulations could well
constitute a taking of property. The Minnesota Supreme Court in
the case of Pratt vs. State. Department of Natural Resources, 309
N.W.2d 767 (1981) , stated:
"...but where the regulation is for the benefit of a
governmental enterprise, where a few individuals must
bear the burden for a public use, then a taking occurs."
Id. at 773.

When this standard is applied, a taking will occur when there has
been a substantial and measurable decline in market value as a
result of the regulation, as opposed to the property owner having
to show a denial of all reasonable use. /g.; McShane vs. City of
7'aribault, 292 N.W.2d 253 (Minn. 1980).
Under the City's' proposed ordinance, the statement 'of purpose
indicates that the prohibition against the removal of trees on
private property is for a specific "public enterprise,"
preservation of a park like setting for the City as a whole. The
substantial diminution in value of properties would be shown by the
property owner's increased cost of developing the property for
lawful purposes in the manner allowed by its zoning.
Finally, the proposal by the City does not seem to provide
incentive for the tree preservation they espouse. The developer,
not a home builder, is required to post appropriate financial
security for the destruction of trees by those who build homes.
What this means, of course, is that a home builder can go in and
destroy trees without consideration of the replacement cost because
it is being borne by the developer.
Obviously, mature, large trees cannot be replaced. If the City is
indeed concerned about preservation of existing mature stands of
trees, they should provide equal incentive to all persons who may
have to remove trees as part of their development activity.
I hope that the foregoing is information useful to you.

AMONG OTHER THINGS, CONTAIN PENALTY PROVISIONS:
THE CITY COUNCIL OF EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS:
Section 1. City Code Section 11.55, Subd. 1. is amended by
amending the title thereof and amending Subd. 1 to read as follows:
"SEC. 11.55. MINING .OPERLTION, LAND ALTERATION, AND
ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION REGULATIONS.
Subd. 1. Declaration of Policy and Purpose.
A. Commercial mining and land alterations are now being and
for some time have been conducted in certain places in the City.
Such acts are inherently accompanied by noise and dust, often
create hazardous conditions and result in lasting disfigurement of
the places where they are carried on and thus tend to interfere
with the existing land uses in nearby areas, to discourage further
permanent development of the surrounding properties, to impair
adequate planning or municipal development, and to diminish the
public health, safety and general welfare. It is, therefore,
desirable to regulate both existing operations and any further
extension of such mining operations and land alterations in the
City.

It is hereby found that tree removal, damage, and
destruction are now, and have been occurring within the City. The
City recognizes, however, that some of the destruction has been as
a natural and necessary part of the City's continued development
for residential and commercial purposes and necessary public
services and conveniences to serve the residents of the City. The
Council finds that the preservation of existing trees is a benefit
to public health, safety and welfare by providing a variety of
economic, aesthetic and environmental benefits, including reduction
of air pollution, soil stabilization, scenic beauty and enhancement
of property values. The random and unnecessary cutting of natural
vegetation unrelated to the orderly commercial and residential
development of the City undermines the public health, safety and
welfare and does not enhance the continued growth of the City. It
is therefore the purpose of this section to provide regulations
which will minimize unnecessary cutting of existing vegetation. to
encourage protection and preservation of the natural environment
and the resourceful and prudent approach to urban development of
wooded areas.

(e) Dead or Unhealthy Trees. Any replacement tree which
is not alive or healthy one (1) year after the date that the last
replacement tree has been planted shall be removed and a new
healthy tree of the same size and species shall be planted in place
of the removed tree. A new healthy tree of the same size and
species shall be planted in place of any replacement tree missing
one (1) year after such date. Planting shall occur not later than
the first fall or spring following such year.
Trees planted in place of removed trees shall consist of
"certified nursery stock" as defined by Minnesota Statutes, 118.46.
(f) Agreement to Replace Trees-Security. A Developer
shall, prior to the approval of, or issuance of a permit for, any
land alteration in connection with which trees are required to be
replaced by the provisions of this Section enter into such written
agreement or agreements with the City in such form and in such
substance as shall be approved by the City Manager whereby the
Developer shall undertake to comply with the provisions and
conditions imposed by this Section or in connection with any such
approval or issuance of a permit and shall provide security for
the performance of its obligations to comply with such provisions
and conditions. The security may consist of a bond, letter of
credit, cash or escrow deposit, all in such form and substance as
shall be approved by the City Manager.
The amount of security shall be 150% of the estimated cost to
furnish and plant the replacement trees ("estimated cost"). The
8
estimated cost shall be at least as much as the reasonable amount
charged by nurseries for the furnishing and planting of the
replacement trees. The estimated cost shall be subject to approval
by the City. In the event the estimated cost submitted by the
Developer to the City is not approved by the City the City shall
have the right in its sole discretion to determine the estimated
cost.
The security shall be maintained at least for one (1) year
after the date that the last replacement tree has been planted.
Upon a showing by the Developer and such inspection as may be made
by the City, that portion of the security may be released by the
City equal to the estimated cost of the trees replaced and which
are alive and healthy,at the end of such year. Any portion of the
security not entitled to be released at the end of such year shall
be maintained and shall secure the Developer's obligation to remove
and replant replacement trees which are not alive or are unhealthy
at the end of such year. Upon completion of the replanting of such
• trees the entire security may be released.
D. Duty to Obtain Bond or Letter of Credit Prior to Issuance
of Land Alteration Permit. The Council may make its approval of
the issuance of a land alteration permit contingent upon applicant
posting a bond or letter of credit in addition to the security for
replacement of trees of not less than $25,000.00 in such form and
amount as the Council shall determine within ten (10) days of said
approval and prior to commencement of any land alteration."

VALUE OF TREES/FOREST LANOS }}
In 1972, the Society of American Foresters initiated an Urban Forestry Working
Group. That body put together the following statement:
"Urban forestry is a specialized branch of forestry that has, as its objective, the
cultivation and management of trees for their present and potential contribution to
the physiological, sociological, and economic well being of urban society. Inherent
in this function is a comprehensive program designed to educate the urban populace
on the role of trees and related plants in the urban environment. In its broadest
sense, urban forestry embraces a multi-managerial system that includes municipal
watersheds, wildlife habitat, outdoor recreation opportunities, landscape design,
recycling of municipal wastes, tree care in general, and the future production of
wood fiber as a raw material."
If we examine this statement and expand on the ideas that are presented within it,
the value of the urban forest in relation to today's society, its attitudes,
perceptions, and expectations become evident.
Many people tend to place trees into three categories: sensory,
instrumental , and symbolic. Trees, as sensory features, would include the
landscape, ornamental value, sound, and/or visual screening, all of which
tend to soften the hardness of the urban setting. Instrumental values of
trees include the shade they provide, protection of the environment (soil,
slopes, etc.), fruits, shelter, and recreation. For a tree to have symbolic
value, it is generally regarded in light of some recognizable feature such
as a particular neighborhood, i.e., "Kings Forest", or social when
specifically planted to help improve the character of a neighborhood that
lacks trees. While these three categories are simple, they do not expound
on many areas of value related to the urban forest. I feel it would be
helpful to examine urban trees considering the following areas:
Uses and Benefits of the Urban Forest
Many people in the city look to their trees for shade, beauty, and increased
property val ues. These benefits are taken for granted but addi tional uses and
benefits are there, many of them not known to urban residents.
The first of these benefits that trees provide is CLIMATE AMELIORATION
(improvement). Trees can affect the climate of a yard area by modifying solar
radiation, which results in the modification of various climatic conditions. Plants
can change the yard/home environment by:
Intercepting summer sunlight preventing the heat up of lawns, roofs
and hard surface areas such as driveways.
Reducing the ambient summer temperature through loss of water
(transpiration) by tree leaves.
Channel cool breezes during the summer to ventilate warm areas and
buildings.
Shield buildings from high winds, which infiltrate poorly insulated
walls or windows during periods of cold temperature.
100a g.
Reduce wind turbulence, especially during winter snowstorms, which
improves driving visability conditions and affects snow drifting in
yards and roadways.
Additional wind break benefits include: minimizing wind erosion,
reduction of destructive wind velocities, and improve yard and
parkland conditions for other plants, people, and animals.
Trees not only intercept sunlight but also intercept rainfall. A
tree canopy can slow the descent of intense rainfall during a
thunderstorm lessening the chances for soil erosion.
Slowing runoff increases the rate of infiltration into the soil
based on tree cover type, soil organic matter, topography, and
intensity and type of precipitation.
The second major area where trees enhance the urban environment is in the area of
ENGINEERED USAGE. One of the major uses in this area is noise abatement or sound
attenuation. The foliage of trees has the ability to absorb, deflect, and even
reflect sound depending on the type of tree/plant, the climatic conditions, the type
of sound (intensity, decibel level, etc.), and relationship between a sound source
and the receiver of the sound. Plant height and foliage density are additional
factors in determining the effectiveness of a plant to modify sound levels.
A second area that is being studied further is the ability or the role of trees in
reducing air pollution. It has been shown that trees reduce the amount of airborne
particles near factories by interception, however, reduction of gaseous pollutants
needs further study to draw solid conclusions.
r 'he last area of engineering usage for trees is glare reduction. Trees planted
along roadways or adjacent to homes can effectively cut sun or car headlight glare
making it easier for drivers to see the road during daylight hours, or reducing the
nuisance glare that strays into homes from car headlights during night time hours.
Because trees are dynamic, they have wide reaching applications when you consider
ARCHITECTURAL USES. Since woodlands by themselves are areas of great beauty and
diversity, trees will compliment homes built within a woodland rather than detract
for its design. Whether planted or naturally occuring, trees can enrich any site
when you consider that they can be used to define spaces, provide screening, create
privacy, and accent the style and form of any building. These uses center around a
tree's color, shape, form, texture, and line; in other words, the esthetics of a
tree or plant. Being dynamic, a tree's appearance changes with the seasons and
throughout their lives.
In addition to architectural uses, trees also have a wide variety of ESTHETIC USES.
Trees and plants produce shadow patterns that constantly change throughout the day
and year. The rustling sounds and sight of wind blown leaves can be a real pleasure
to experience while walking or sitting.
Woodland areas, as building sites, are very desirable because of the natural
architectural potential to compliment any structure built within the confines of the
woods. In short, trees have ARCHITECTURAL USES which include both existing and
planted trees. They can be used to define spaces, for screening, to create privacy
and accent lines and form of a home or building. Many of these uses center around
1c0zG(9
the various esthetics of plants including their colors, textures, lines, size,
shape, form, and growth rate. The role of a tree can be singular or collective
since it is our perception of them which judges their effectiveness in the
landscape. Since trees are dynamic their appearance changes from season to season
and throughout their lives which enables us to enjoy and utilize them in our
landscapes for decades.
In many ways, ESTHETIC USES of trees are the same as architectural uses; however,
there are many subtle additions when you consider a tree's esthetic value. First,
if you plant enough trees, you can, over time, create a "natural forest." The mass
planting of trees within parklands or farmland plantations can create the beauty of
a woodland forest over a period of years. Additional esthetic conditions that trees
give us are; the sounds created by wind blowing through leaves and needles at
different velocities, the shadow patterns of trunks, branches, and leaves on a sunny
day, the birds and animals associated with various trees and plants, and bring
interest and beauty with flowers and fruit clusters at various times of the year.
While the list of uses is rather lengthy, there are a few ADDITIONAL USES which
include recreation and educational values. Trees provide places for kids to play,
observe, and learn about nature. They are indicators of history and climatic
events, and they can evoke memories of other times, places, or feelings, in people
who encounter them. Trees have physical beauty, familiar sounds, are interesting to
touch, and fragrance. It would be very different indeed if trees were not present
in our cities and towns.
The value and benefits of trees in the area of RECREATION and WILDLIFE have been
known for many years. This is documented by the large number of urban residents who
seek the woodlands and the activities and pleasures they offer. Unfortunately, too
many people become dependent on the urban park for their woodland contact and don't
realize the differences and contrasts that are present between urban and rural
forest areas.
The urban forest is especially accessable to the elderly, very young, the
handicapped, and those too poor to travel outside their neighborhood or city.
Combine this convenience factor with the new emphasis on health and physical
activity, and parklands and nature preserves serve a rather substantial population
of those living in urban areas. Use of the urban forest can be active or passive,
involve structured activities or random unprepared visits and activities. In short,
the uses and potential uses of a park within the urban forest is unlimited.
Economic Values of Urban Trees
While all the previous uses and benefits of trees are important when they meet or
exceed our expectations we must realize that trees also have economic value. This
value can be calculated in five different ways - maintenance cost, replacement cost,
wood product value, preservation cost, and shade tree/property value. Each method
can be used to establish a relative value of a tree; however, it is necessary to
determine which scenario represents the best use for the tree.
For example, a large oak tree 25 inches in diameter that was located in a park might
cost $300 to prune every 5 years, and if it has been pruned 3 times, the maintenance
cost would be $90D. Replacement cost on the tree would not be feasible since the
tree is too large to be replaced with one of similar size. The estimated wood
product value of the tree is approximately $1,500 since it contains 3 veneer quality
logs in its trunk. Value based on preservation costs for the tree would be little
or none since no formal measures would be taken to protect the tree from potential
lightning or wind damage. While the tree is large and magnificent 't has nominal
value with regard to being an asset toward the property value. Since there are a
considerable number of trees in the park, it is their sum total which gives value to
the property and a single tree represents only a small portion of the tree/property
value. Therefore, in this example, the best use value would be the wood products
value of $1,500. However, if you placed the same tree on a single family lot, with
a home, it would have a different value.
Appraisal Method Value Comoared with Park Value
Maintenance Costs $ 900 Same
Replacement Costs $1,600 Higher-could be replaced with 8, 3-
inch trees @ 200 each
Wood Product Value $2,000 Same
Preservation Costs $5,000 Higher-cost of lightning protection
and cabling
Tree/Property Value $9,000 Higher
In this scenario, the tree has its highest value as an asset to the value of the
property. This method of valuation was developed by the Council of Tree and
Landscape Appraisers (CTLA) which was formed by members from five agency/professions
which work with trees. They included the International Society of Arboriculture,
American Society of Consulting Arborists, National Arborists Association, American
Society of Nurserymen, and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America. The
result of their work was to establish a value for trees based on its contribution to
the value of the property on which it is located. The method of valuation takes
into consideration the tree specie, its condition, and location of the tree, and
multiplies the percentage factor for each of these criteria times the base value of
a tree based on its diameter/base value. It needs to be noted that while it
requires extensive knowledge and experience of trees to apply this method properly,
it is an easily documented fact that a home with a treed lot sells for a higher
price than an equivalent home on a lot void of trees.
Tree value to property is also recognized by the Internal Revenue Servie since
casualty losses are deductible from a person's taxable income. Casualty loss of
trees can include storm, fire, flood, accident, and vandalism. The test of this
type of loss is that it was a loss of property due to a sudden identifiable event
which results in partial or total destruction. An appraisal of the property before
and after the event is usually necessary to cocument such a loss.
The urban forest is of high value to its residents. The uses and benefits that
trees represent to those who use and observe them is sometimes over-simplified or
ignored, but that does not reduce their importance. We all need to be reminded that
trees are silent giants that need our care and efforts if they are to remain healthy
and an instrumental part of our urban environment. We all enjoy the benefits they
offer and need to be aware of their needs and requirements to remain healthy. After
all, it was the Lorax in a Or. Seuss' book who said, "I am Lorax. I speak for the
trees, for the trees have no tongues. And I'm asking you sir, at the top of my
lungs, unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get
better. It's not."
This is an important message that we need to remember. If we value and enjoy trees
in the urban environment, they are going to need our help.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Human Rights & Services Commission
THROUGH: Natalie Swaggert, Director
SUBJECT: Child Care Site Selection Review
DATE: April 12, 1990
The Human Rights & Services Commission has completed a preliminary study on the
location of child care centers in Eden Prairie as requested by the City Council.
As part of their research the Commission reviewed the Minnesota Department of
Human Services Child Care Center Requirements, the MIS Report on Local
Initiatives for Child Care and several additional national reports produced by a
variety of resources including the Department of Planning, Zoning Institute,
State Universities, and State and City planning departments.
As a result of their research and discussions the Commission made several
observations:
o Child care issues are social issues not easily addressed.
o Child care centers are located to serve the needs of the parent
(convenience, proximity to home or office and on normal transportation
routes).
o Child care centers tend to be an interim land use. Control of adjacent
land uses is complicated as a result.
The Commission feels strongly that our community has child care issues which
need to be addressed and that the City has an important role to play. At this
time the Commission believes the important most pressing issue is the
availability of affordable child care. The Commission is willing to pursue
further research in this area if the Council wishes.
The following report summarizes the Commissions findings and recommendations.

Human Rights & Services Commission
Child Care Site Selection Report
Issue 1: Day Care Center Site Selection
1. The Comission generally supports State of Minnesota requirements. (NOTE:
Does Minnesota have a State law that prevents pre-emptive rules at the
local level?)
2.. The Comission supports the location of present child care centers - intent
is to make child care centers accessible and available (desire is not to
impede or obstruct).
3. The Commission would like to assist in the planning process by reviewing
plans for proposed child care centers.
Areas of importance:
a) Safe drop off and pick up of children; including school bus
accessibility.
b) Entrance and exit contained on the Center site, (no shared drive way)
4. The Commission would like the setback requirements to be reviewed. Setback
requirements should be established for both the center and for the play
area, -- consideration should be given to safety, noise, traffic generated
dirt, etc. Setbacks should vary for collector roads, freeways, feeder
routes, etc... (ie. increased setback from major commutor routes). Such
setback requirements would help to address concerns about proximity to
airborne emissions from automobiles and gasoline service stations.
k •
Issue 2: Day Care Affordability
1. The Comission believes the primary child care concern that the community
needs to address is the affordability of daycare in Eden Prairie as well as
the 'availability' of and 'access to' child care subsidy funds.
2. The Comission would like to look at opportunities to encourage creative
solutions to reducing child care costs such as:
a) Employer programs
b) Corporate sponsored child care centers
c) Consortium sponsored child care centers
d) City administered child care funds (CDSG, Grants, foundation
funds, etc.)
e) Use of developers' impact fees
f) Church sponsored child care programs

DATE: April 9, 1990
SUBJECT: Minnesota Department of Health Letter Regarding Riverview
Spring
Attached is a March 30, 1990 letter from Gerald Smith, Public
Health Engineer from the Minnesota Department of Health, recom-
mending that Riverview Spring be sealed and not available to the
public for their use.
The Safe Drinking Water Act includes a section on the responsi-
bility of the State Department of Health to check on non community
water supplies that are providing water to the public on a regular
or transient basis. Both Riverview Spring and Miller Spring fit
into the description of "piped water for human consumption."
Although the Minnesota Department of Health consistently warns
t against springs as a safe water supply because they are susceptible
to contamination from outside sources, the major reason for recom-
mending closing Riverview Spring is due to the construction of the
outlet "below grade." The State also cites that the outlet is in
an uncovered pit and a storm water catch basin is only 2 to 3 feet
from the water outlet, making it directly subject to flooding and
contamination.
Mr. Smith indicated that the City could decide to improve the
construction of Riverview Spring, but also reminds the City of the
liability the City would be assuming from any water borne outbreak
that could be traced back to that spring. The Health Department
is suggesting the City seal this spring as soon as possible.
City staff concur with the State of Minnesota Department of Health
for the reasons cited in the March 30th letter, as well as the
following reasons:
1. The nitrate level in Riverview Spring has always been consis-
tently higher than that found in Miller Spring. Riverview
Spring has measured between 7 and 9 parts per million, while
Miller Spring generally measures between 3.5 and 6 parts per
million.
2. The City does not own a sufficient amount of land in the Riv-
erview Spring area to safely develop a reconstructed outlet
away from the road and contaminates from the road, or provide
safe off-road parking.
/005
Although the number of users of Riverview Spring is significantly
less than users of Miller Spring, the City can still expect a high
number of complaints from citizens that rely on Riverview Spring
for drinking water. Staff would recommend installing a sign
explaining the reason for the closure at the time the spring is
closed.

Dear Mr. Jullie:
Subject: Riverview Park Water Suoaly Source. Eden Prairie. Minnesota
On March 13, 1990, Ms. Carol Kephart of this office observed what appeared to
be a water supply located off of Riverview Road. During her inspection of the
area, Ms. Kephart observed persons filling containers with water from this
source, i.e., spring.
The outlet from this water source is poorly constructed with the outlet below
grade in an uncovered pit and a storm water catch basin only 2 to 3 feet from
the water outlet with the drain of the pit directly connected to the storm
sewer. This construction makes the water outlet subject to flooding and
contamination.
In addition, springs and other similar water supply sources by their nature
are more susceptible to contamination from outside sources. There also can be
dramatic changes in the water quality within a short period of time. The
potential chemical and bacteriological contamination of spring water supply
sources make it necessary to regard such sources as unsafe for drinking water
or food preparation.
For these reasons this water supply source should be sealed and not available
to the public for their use.
As owner of this water supply you are reminded that you could be held liable
should anyone become ill from drinking water from this water supply source.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at
612/627-5178.
Sincerely yours,.144-4-4-494

RE: Graffiti Bridge Study
The report that has been supplied to you regarding the alternates for the
graffiti bridge is fairly straight forward. However, some of the intangibles
were not easily addressed by the BRW study. If it is important to retain a
graffiti billboard, I strongly urge alternate A-1.
The "magic" of the existing structure is that a significant number of people
have to drive through the facility on a daily basis (at a slow rate of speed)
and are able to see the daily changes. If this structure were to be moved to
Edenvale Park, it will be visible, but no one will drive through it and the
"magic" will be gone.
The alternate for leaving the south abutment in place will only defer the
problem for the period of time that it takes Hennepin County to develop some
LRT plans. Hennepin County admits that will be a long term issue, but the
County has gone on record recommending that the entire structure be removed
and I believe that it will likely become a problem as we try to negotiate the
details for constructing Valley View Road.
In order to construct Valley View Road, it was proposed that a timber
retaining wall be constructed to protect the NSP transmission poles on the
north side of the roadway. Changing that timber retaining wall to a concrete
wall and installing a railing for safety will provide the best visibility and
a superior position from which to negotiate when dealing with Hennepin
County.
Frankly, encouragement of Graffiti in any form looks a lot like a trip to
Abilene. But I do recognize the public sentiment regarding this issue and if
we are to have a graffiti billboard in town, I believe alternate A-1 does the
best job of meeting the variety of criteria of the interests involved.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sandra F. Werts, Recreation Supervis
DATE: April 11, 1990
SUBJECT: Historical and Cultural Commission Recommendation
Regarding Graffiti Bridge
The Historical and Cultural Commission reviewed the Feasibility
Report on the Graffiti Bridge alternatives prepared by BRW in
response to its earlier recommendation to the City Council. The
Commission wishes to thank the Council for recommending further
study. During the discussion of the graffiti bridge options, which
occurred at the Commission's regular meeting on April 5th and at
a special meeting on April 10th, additional options were raised in
addition to those recommended in the BRW report, which the
Commission recommends should be studied.
The option favored by the Commission was not put forth in the
study. This option, which the Commission would like to recommend
to the Council for further study, would include the retention of
both wing walls. The south wall would be retained in place as in
Alternate A, Option 2 of the BRW study. The north wing wall would
be moved to the north side of the newly constructed roadway, and
a walking path with railings would be constructed to span the
walls, therefore, retaining the true feel of a bridge.
It is the understanding of the Commission that representatives of
Totes, Inc. have been in touch with people in the community about
the potential for corporate funding. The Commission believes this
potential funding merits consideration of the more expensive
preservation options. The Commission intends to continue working
with City officials and staff to explore this source, and the
Commission expects to receive some type of firm commitment in the
foreseeable future.
In view of this, the following motion, which passed unanimously at
the Historical and Cultural Commission's April 10th meeting, is
forwarded for your consideration:
MOTION: Whereas consideration of the BRW, Inc. engineering study
has led to further options, and whereas the Commission believes
there are funding alternatives available to finance the newly
identified option; therefore, the Historical and Cultural
Commission recommends that the City Council defer a decision on the
graffiti bridge until its first meeting in May. If a delay by the
City Council is not an option, the Commission requests
consideration of the following order of priority:
/OA
1. Retain both wing walls and widen bridge to span road (new
alternative).
2. Leave south walls in place (BRW - Alternative A, Option 2).
3. Preserve in place (BRW - Alternative C).
4. Relocate bridge to Valley View Road between Round Lake and
Community Center (new alternative).
5. Relocate bridge to high school entryway (new alternative).
6. Relocate to Edenvale Park (BRW Alternative B). •
7. Total removal and build "graffiti wall" (BRW - Alternative A,
Option 1).

Mr.Stuart Fox
Manager of Parks and Natural Resources
City of Eden Prairie
7600 Executive Drive
Eden Prairie,MN 55344-3677
Dear Mr.Fox
Thank you for the opportunity to share my experience and knowledge about the values
and benefits of urban trees. Regarding my background,I am currently an Urban Forester
with the U.S. Forest Service(State and Private Forestry),and a Graduate Student at the
University of Minnesota developing a community forestry inventory system. 1 have gained
experience in municipal forestry operations while working as the urban forester for
LaGrange Park,IL,a suburb of Chicago,and while working as a member of the Minnesota
Shade Tree Advisory Committee.
I became very familiar with issues regarding values and benefits of urban trees while
coauthoring the Minnesota Shade Tree Advisory Committee report to the Legislature titled
"Minnesota's Community and Urban Forests: Opportunities and Recommendations." In
the process of writing the report,I became quite aware of the fundamental importance of
urban trees,particularly their value in terms of increased quality of life for communities.
The following presents several of the values of urban trees grouped according to four major
categories(physical and ecological benefits,aesthetic values,economic benefits,and social
benefits).
I.Physical and Ecological Benefits:
A.Climate Amelioration
* "Trees,shrubs,and grass ameliorate air temperature in urban environments
by controlling solar radiation(Grey and Deneke 1986). Mature trees,because of their
larger size and leaf mass,ameliorate the climate more than smaller trees. Hence,it is
important to preserve larger trees to maximize benefits from trees associated with
climate amelioration.
•One study found that the air-conditioning needs for a mobile home in an oak
woodland was 75 percent less than the air-conditioning needs of a mobile home located
in an open area(DeWalle 1978).
*Bernatsky(1982)found 65 to 80 percent of the solar energy striking wooded
areas in the summer to be dissipated through evapotranspiration (a tree's natural
cooling process). In contrast,a city without vegetation will heat the air with 60 percent •
of the incoming solar radiation.
1
Values of Urban Trees
•Winkler et al.(1981)found a 5 degree heat island effect(differential between
temperatures in the heart of the city and the countryside)in the Twin Cities in July.
Due to the presence of this documented heat island effect,there is a need to preserve
existing trees and plant more trees to reduce demands for air-conditioning.
B.Ecological Values
•Franks and Reeves(1988)suggested a method to assess dollar values of trees
based on their value as a function of an ecosystem. Use of this system to assess values
of trees can be of significant importance for land-use planners,because it allows land-
use planners and other agencies to obtain a realistic estimate for the value of trees
based on an ecological perspective. The system uses factors such as the trees
significance in soil, nutrient and water conservation, animal usage, and habitat
characteristics.
C.Stormwater and Erosion Control
• Trees are important elements in the hydrologic cycle. Trees intercept
precipitation and reduce losses associated with runoff and soil erosion. Rowntree
(1986)found that trees and other vegetation will catch rain and will reduce storm runoff
by 17 percent,thus avoiding property damage from flooding.
•According to Grey and Deneke(1986)"plants reduce water-caused soil erosion
with their roots,and by increasingwater absorption through the incorporation of organic
matter." Construction represents an impact on the environment that causes a significant
increase in soil erosion. Trees and other vegetation that remain during construction can
reduce soil erosion and loss.
D.Comfort Values
• Brown and Cherkezoff (1989) have conducted a study to determine the
"comfort value"of a tree. Comfort value is the"value of a tree or trees in terms of
the thermal comfort it creates for people." Essentially,the study attempts to quantify
what we already know,people associate trees with thermal comfort: we seek shady
parking spots in the summer,we walk on the side of the street lined with trees on a
hot day,and we sit in the shade rather than in direct sunlight to stay cool.
• Properly placed trees can control unwanted solar radiation in the form of
glare and reflection control(Grey and Deneke 1986).
*Properly located trees can lessen noises and sounds. Trees in masses represent
the most effective means of noise abatement. Not only can they reduce sound,but by
screening the source of noise,trees can have a psychological effect that reduces sound
(Grey and Deneke 1986).
*Trees can reduce air pollution. Certain plants absorb specific air pollutants.
Wind turbulence in trees can help disperse gaseous pollutants. Further, trees can
remove airborne particles such as dust,pollen, smoke,and sand(Grey and Deneke
1986).
2
Values of Urban Trees
11.Aesthetic Values;
"'People prefer trees. In studies by Ulrich(1986),people prefer scenes that
show environments with vegetation and other natural elements, to scenes lacking
vegetation. In fact,people living in environments with natural features are generally
more satisfied with their living conditions,than those without(Schroeder 1989).
• Trees provide a variety of aesthetic values, including: providing pleasant
scenery,personal enjoyment and appreciation of trees;screening unpleasant views and
odors;accenting the architectural design of buildings;and providing landscapes that can
promote tourism.
' Trees can be used to screen out unpleasant sites, or enhance buildings
aesthetically(Grey and Deneke 1986). Trees can provide privacy by screening views.
For example,"Trees and shrubs enframe views,soften architectural lines,enhance and
compliment architectural elements,unify divergent elements,and introduce a naturalness
to otherwise stark settings"(Grey and Deneke 1986). Because trees are living and
growing features in the landscape,their beauty changes with the seasons,and is dynamic
and ever-present.
• It is important to note the importance people place on mature trees.
Schroeder(1989)noted that a California study found that people preferred larger trees
rather than smaller trees,simply because smaller trees were"less aesthetic and provided
less shade."
III.Economic Benefits;
A.Increased Property Values
* Increased property values represent one of the many economic benefits
provided by trees. Studies have found property values to increase from 5 to 27%
depending on the number and quality of trees(ICMA 1988,Hobaugh 1985).
• Anderson and Cordell(1985) found that lots with trees were shown to sell
quicker than lots without trees. Also, the higher value of these lots lead to higher
property assessments which boost municipal property tax revenues.
* Studies regarding the value of wooded vs. open lots found that the average
selling price of houses with"no tree cover"was$51,108;the average selling price of
comparable houses with"good tree cover"was$60,614--a selling price 18 percent higher
than the house on the lot with no tree cover(Morales et al. 1983).
'Most public expenditures(sidewalks,streets,sewers,etc.)represent investments
that depreciate over time. Trees represent an investment that appreciates in value
(MSTAC 1990).
3
Values of Urban Trees
B.Energy Savings
•
•Well-located shade trees could reduce the energy needed for air-conditioning
a home by up to 30 percent and for a small business by 8 percent(Akbari et al. 1988).
•Windbreaks could reduce home heating costs by up to 25 percent(DeWalle
and Heisler 1988).
C.Estimated Tree Value
•Ebenreck(1989)estimated the following yearly values for an"average"fifty-
year-old tree: air-conditioning-473,soil erosion and stormwater control--$75,wildlife
shelter--575,and air pollution control--550. The total value in 1985 dollars was 5273.
A value of 557,151 was also estimated for the total value of the tree during its lifetime
(compounded at five percent for fifty years).
IV.Social Benefits
A.Social Values
•Schroeder(1989)found that people attach importance and a priority to trees.
In fact,in a survey of people living in a Chicago suburb,"99 percent of the respondents
thought parkway trees were an asset to the community."
•Getz et al.(1982)found that"Detroit residents ranked park and street trees
second only to education programs for receiving additional funding."
*Studies indicate that trees help reduce stress associated with urban settings
by creating feelings of relaxation and well-being(Ulrich 1989).
• Hospital surgery patients looking out the window at trees had fewer
complications,needed less medication,and had shorter hospital stays than people whose
rooms faced buildings(Ulrich 1984).
B.Wildlife Habitat
•A diverse community of both flora and fauna in the urban environment must
be maintained. Not only does the diversity contribute to the overall health of the urban
ecosystem,hut,it represents an important indicator of the city's habitability for humans
(Majerus 1988).
•Trees in cities provide a habitat for a variety of wildlife species. People benefit
from urban wildlife interaction. In fact,studies indicate that people want to observe
wildlife in cities. Greater than one-half of Americans participate in observing,feeding,
and photographing wildlife(Tylka 1987).
4
{
Values of Urban Trees
C.Recreational Values
• Wooded areas such as parks, greenbelts, and parkways provide many
opportunities for urban recreational activities including: picnicking,walking,bike riding,
exercise and wildlife observation.
• Ariola and Wilson (1982) discuss the importance of natural, undeveloped
space for recreation. In fact,they caution planners that residual or undeveloped open
space must also be considered in planning because this space may also provide
recreational benefits which cannot be obtained in more formal parks or open spaces.
Many studies have been done and reports have been written on each of the values and
benefits of urban trees that have been presented. The literature in support of the many
values associated with urban trees is abundant.
Please note the importance and difference between the value of large,mature trees
and smaller trees. True,both large and small trees have many benefits. Yet,to get the
maximum benefits associated with trees(shade,beauty,wildlife,increased property value,
etc.),large,mature trees are more desirable and thus,preferred. Much time and energy,
as well as good growing conditions are nerpgcary for a tree to reach large size and maturity.
Generally,it will take many years for individuals to reap the benefits of newly planted trees.
Trees definitely enhance the quality of life for individual living in urban areas in a wide
variety of ways. Very simply,these values can be aesthetic,economic,environmental,or
social. Ordinances that promote tree preservation represent the means by which these
values can be assured for urban residents both now and in the future.
Thank you for letting me share this information with you. Please let'me know if I can
be of further assistance.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Summary of Bids
1990-91 Maintenance Materials and Water Treatment Chemicals
Bids were received on April 12, 1990 for our annual contracts for street
maintenance materials and water treatment chemicals. Attached is a summary
sheet indicating the unit prices for these materials and chemicals.
Resolution No.90-111 shows the material or chemical, the recommended supplier
and an extension of the unit price multiplied by the estimated amount of
material to be purchased. Most of the bids are straight forward, however,
the following bid items need further explanation:
CLASS 5 AGGREGATE - Four bids were received with the apparent low bidder
being Midwest Asphalt Corporation. However, the material that they proposed
to supply is a blend of recycled concrete and bituminous mixture. The
material may have its uses, but for our purposes (gravel road surfacing,
shouldering and base material for patching), the virgin aggregate best suits
our needs. Therefore, we recommend award of the Class 5 aggregate bid to
J.L. Shiely Company.
FERRIC SULFATE - Four bids were received with the apparent low bidder being
Van Waters b Rogers, Inc. However, a $7.50 pallet charge needs to be added
to each ton of chemical delivered thereby making their bid $218.80. In
addition, the bid from Tennessee Chemical Company included a separate freight
charge ($57.40 per ton) which makes their total bid $220.40 per ton.
Therefore, we recommend award of the ferric sulfate bid to Feed-Rite
Controls, Inc. based on their bid being the lowest.
