TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Carl J. Jullie, City Manager
DATE: November 1, 1991
SUBJECT:
"Truth In Taxation" Hearing Notice
On November 5, Hennepin County will be sending Public Hearing
notices, similar in form to the attached notice, to all taxpayers
in Hennepin County. Our hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, November
26 at 7:30 PM. Mr. Sinell has assembled the attached information
for your general reference. The data show the individual city tax
rates plus the overall rates, including the County, School
District, and miscellaneous districts.
Councilmembers will note that Eden Prairie's City tax rate proposed
for 1992 is 23.208%. This rate is somewhat higher than other
cities such as Edina (13.47%) and Plymouth (15.28%). Edina is a
mature city with fewer capital needs (e.g., City Hall) and has a
very high tax base. Plymouth is more similar to Eden Prairie but
does not provide the same array of services as we do (i.e. no
Community Center, liquor stores, police dispatching).
Also attached is a detailed analysis of the staffing level
differences between Eden Prairie and Plymouth. Plymouth has 43.8
fewer FTE employees than Eden Prairie. However, after adjusting
for types of service actually provided, the difference is reduced
to only 3.8 FTEs. The number of employees per 1,000 population
comparison can also be made by using the combination of population
and jobs, rather than population only. Eden Prairie compares very
favorably on this basis.

Your Proposed Property Tax for 1992
THIS IS NOT A BILL - DO NOT PAY I
The amounts shown below are being proposed by your county, city/town and school district.
Property ID: 01-029-24 31 0124
Market Value for 1991 taxes: 65,500 HMSTD
Market Value for 1992 taxes: 65,500 HMSTD
The market values have already been finalized.
If you have any questions concerning them,
please contact your assessor.
Your county board of commissioners, your city council or township electors
and your school board will hold meetings soon to decide on the amount of
property taxes to collect in 1992 to PSY for services they provide. The
county board and city council or township electors will also discuss their
proposed budget for 1992 and the school board will discuss its budget for
the current school year.
The first column of figures below shows the 1991 property tax you paid to
your county, city or town, school district and special taxing districts.
The second column of figures below shows the total amounts of property tax
your county, city or town, and school district will collect from you in 1992
if they approve the property tax amounts they are now considering. Any
upcoming referendums, legal judgments, natural disasters end special
assessments could result in increasing these amounts.
The amounts shown below for special taxing districts - such as watershed
districts - are the totals for all special taxing districts in which your
property is located. No meeting is required for these districts.
Your county commissioners, city council or township electors and school
board members invite you to attend their meetings at the times and places
shown below to express your opinions on the proposed property tax amounts

A MESSAGE FROM THE HENNEPIN COUNTY BOARD
Enclosed is a notice that Hennepin County, under the state's Muth in Taxation law, is required
to send to all property taxpayers. It has information on property taxes proposed for 1992 by the
County government and other jurisdictions. The Hennepin County Board is happy to provide
you with this information, but the Board feels obligated to tell you that the notice does not tell the
whole story.
First, you should know that about one-fourth of the total property taxes collected in the County
are used to support programs of the County government; the remainder mainly supports cities
and school districts. The County Board has responsibility for general County programs (shown
in the first line of the table on the notice) and the County's Regional Railroad Authority (one of
the special taxing districts included on the fourth line).
For 1992, the County Board has proposed that the combined property taxes for these two
purposes -- general operations and the railroad authority -- decrease by $6.3 million, or I.8
percent, as shown below.

-$ 6,300,000
% Change
4.5%
-100.0%
-1.8%
The proposed increase for general County purposes will be no more than 4.5 percent. This basically will allow County programs -- such as health, social services, and the criminal justice
system -- to continue current operations.
No taxes will be levied for the railroad authority, which means a reduction of more than $21.5
million from 1991. This more than offsets the proposed increase for general operations. The
reason for dropping the levy is that the County Board has decided to reduce planning efforts
for light-rail transit until there is more direction from the Legislature.
IMPORTANT:
Depending on several factors, the proposed County property tax for your property, as
shown on the notice, may vary significantly from the countywide effects described
above. Among these factors:
CI State assistance for property-tax relief to Hennepin County will decrease from $31.6
million this year to $23 million in 1992. Property taxpayers will make up the difference.
CI The Legislature this year made changes in the state's tax rates affecting different
classes of property. The result: higher taxes in 1992 for many properties and lower
taxes for many others.
CI A significant change in the market value of your property may result in an above-
average increase or decrease in your property tax.
The Hennepin County Board will hold a public hearing on the 1992 County tax levy at:
7 p.m. Tuesday, November 19
Board Room, Government Center 24th Floor
Free parking for attendees at Government Center garage (entrance on Third Avenue)
The County Board welcomes your participation in the County's budget process.

SUBJECT: 1992 Proposed Legislative Policies and Priorities
One of the most important rights granted to any individual, but
often the least exercised, is the right to vote. As a member of the
League of Minnesota Cities, each city is entitled to vote on the
enclosed 1992 Proposed Legislative Policies and Priorities. During
the League's Policy Adoption Meeting on November 21, Registry Hotel,
Bloomington, member cities will gather together to consider the
League's 1992 legislative agenda. I strongly encourage your city to
be represented and exercise your vote on the proposed policies. An
agenda and registration form are attached for your information.
In addition to the consideration of the proposed policies, city
officials will have an opportunity to hear from a variety of
speakers. The morning session will begin with a message by LMC
President and Rochester Councilmember, Pete Solinger.
From 9:15 - 10:15 am, Senator Randy Kelly; Steve Sarkozy, City
Manager, Roseville; and Betty McCollum, Councilmember, North St.
Paul have been invited to speak. They will have a panel discussion
on "Cooperation and Consolidation: Legislative Interest and the
Accomplishments of Cities." Legislation was introduced in 1991,
which would have set up a system to monitor and encourage
cooperation and consolidation for all cities. Cities need to be sure
that Senator Kelly understands cities already operate under a number
of joint powers agreements.
Beginning at 10:45 am city officials will hear from a panel of
speakers concerning the Local Government Trust Fund. Invited to
speak are Representative Ogren, author of the 1991 House Omnibus Tax
Bill; Morrie Anderson, Assistant Commissioner, Department of
Revenue; and Senator Ember Reichgott, chair of the newly created
Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR). The ACIR
has been charged, with assistance from the Department of Revenue, to
develop a distribution formula for the funds collected by the Local
Government Trust Fund.

LMC has invited Governor Carlson to speak at the conference luncheon.
Governor Carlson was requested to share his perspective on local
governments and what the future holds, from the Administration's
viewpoint, for the Local Government Trust Fund.
During the afternoon session, members will consider the League's 1992
Lpaislative Policies and Priorities (copy enclosed). These policies
were created by over 200 dedicated city officials attending meetings
at the League's office during the summer months. The League of
Minnesota Cities owes a great debt to these city officials, they spent
many hours developing this policy document.
I hope your city will be represented at the League's Policy Adoption
Conference. To register for the conference, please return the
attached registration form to the League of Minnesota Cities, c/o
Finance Department, 183 University Avenue East, St. Paul, MN 55101.
In order to save postage costs, LMC is mailing one policy booklet per

SUBJECT: Tree Replacement Surety Requirements - The Wyndham Crest Experience
The City has had a Tree Preservation Ordinance since 1988 and a policy since 1986, affecting
fifty-four development projects. All of these projects have required the posting of a performance
bond letter of credit or other type of surety at 150% the cost of landscaping material and labor
to guarantee satisfactory implementation of the replacement plantings. Staff has been approached
by developers during this time, asking for reductions or release from the surety requirement for
their projects stating that the requirement is excessive and/or not even necessary.
Is the City's surety requirement for landscaping or tree replacement excessive or unjustified?
Since inception of this ordinance, the City has drawn on two landscape sureties; one for the
Computer Depot building in which the owners went bankrupt, and the other for the Wyndham
Crest residential subdivision for failure of the developer to complete the required plantings.
The surety requirement for landscaping and tree replacement serve the following purpose:
1. To assure that the landscaping or tree replacement takes place according to an
approved plan.
2. To guarantee implementation in a timely manner.
3. To cover the replacement of any dead plant material during the bonding period.
By requiring surety at 150% the cost of materials and labor, there is an obligational interest for
the developer to see that the landscaping or tree replacement takes place. If the surety
requirements were 100% or 50% of the cost, the City may lose that obligational interest, since
it would be no loss to the developer if he abandoned the project. In essence, the developers
would simply allow the City to cash the surety and implement the project.
After working with the Wyndham Crest development, it is evident that the surety requirements
as set forth by City Code are necessary, justified, and not excessive.
Case Study
In February of 1991, the City cashed the letter of credit for the Wyndham Crest development
due to the failure of the developer to complete all of the tree replacement. The City utilized
those funds and completed the project in a timely manner. However, because the City allowed
surety reductions based on the developer's completed planting and revised cost estimates, only
about one half of the remaining 348 caliper inches of tree replacement was implemented.
Included with this memo is a historical chronology for the tree replacement at Wyndham Crest.
Although the City does not wish to become a sub-contractor for landscaping of development
projects, this chronology shows that when a developer fails to complete a project according to
the approved plan, a process has been established which the City can use to complete the plan
in an efficient manner.
We have learned the following from the Wyndham Crest situation:
1. Surety requirements are an essential tool guaranteeing implementation of an approved
plan.
2. Appropriate surety dollar amounts are necessary to maintain the obligational interest for
the developer.
3. An implementation process has been established to complete landscaping requirements if
a developer fails to complete the approved plan.
Maintaining the surety requirements as outlined in City Code is necessary and an effective way
to guarantee compliance with approved plans with minimal leverage from the City. Allowing
lower surety amounts or not requiring a surety will only increase the chance of City intervention.

Project approved by the City Council with tree replacement of
700" and is guaranteed with $69,000 escrow on account.
267" planted within the Wyndham Knoll development only. City
allowed developer to plant a portion of required caliper inches
within his developments near Wyndham Crest.
Letter to Patton urges him to plant trees concurrent with house
construction.
Patton documents that a total of 499" installed leaving 298"
remaining @ $90.00/in equaling $26,820.
City reduced escrow to $26,820 and indicated no additional escrow
would be necessary.
City releases all escrow and is replaced with $26,820 letter of
credit.
Patton requests reduction in letter of credit to $10,440 based on his
list of 640" planted leaving 116" (Some additional tree loss took
place). City refuses since very few trees of total had been planted
within Wyndham Crest development, but rather in parks.
City conducts detailed on-site inspection of half the property and
found additional tree loss totalling 247". Recalculated tree
replacement based on actual trees planted and additional tree loss
equaled 512".
Completed tree inspection and determined some actual tree
preservation, some additional tree loss, and more trees planted.
This reduced total tree replacement remaining on property to 348"
(keep in mind, the majority of tree replacement within development
were 2" wilding trees - not even meeting minimum planting
standards.
Letter to Patton follows-up on May inspection and indicates no
additional releases in letter of credit until additional trees get
replaced in accordance with Code.

Meeting with Feerick, Patton, City Staff takes place where Patton
requests remaining tree replacement to be transferred to Schroer's
P.U.D. and release letter of credit. Patton added that bonding for
transferred tree replacement not be required until development of
Schroers begins. City said this couldn't be done since tree
replacement is to take place at or near area of tree loss. City
offered many options and concessions to help developer (See
Attachment).
Letter of credit is extended to December 31, 1990. Staff learns
that only about $16,000 of $26,820 letter of credit is actually the
developer's.
City receives letter from Patton requesting that the City release the
letter of credit and hold in escrow their portion of the funds to
complete tree replacement.
City Staff meets with Mr. Rich Fide to discuss remaining 348
caliper inches of tree replacement. Based on $16,500 in escrow
only $47.00 per inch remains. Eide indicates it will be very
difficult for him to do the tree replacement at $47.00 per inch. He
states $100 - $125 would be necessary.
Patton sends letter to City Manager requesting his help in solving
the tree replacement issue. Patton comments on City ordinances
for tree site and grade. Copy of letter sent to Mayor.
City agrees with Patton to accept his portion of escrow ($16,500)
from the letter of credit to complete landscaping and to release him
from the project.
City Staff researches development for names, addresses, etc... of
Wyndham Crest homeowners to solicit tree plantings allowing
homeowners to pick type of tree and location of planting.
City Staff sends out initial contact letters explaining situation and
that a neighborhood meeting would be held at City Hall.
City hold neighborhood meeting. Approximately 12 residents
attend.
City develops bid package for solicitation of landscaping
companies.

Dear Scott,
On behalf of the Wyndham Crest neighborhood, I am writing to
thank you and the city of Eden Prairie for the excellent job you
did on the reforesting project in our area. After two ane a halt
years of fruitless discussions with and empty promises from the
developer who was originally odiigated to complete the work, it
was a pleasure to see the city take over and complete the project
in less than four months. We know it would have been even
sooner, but Mother Natura dictates when trees can be safely
transplanted, and even the city or Eden Prairie must respect her
rules.
Your choice of Landshapes, inc., appears to have been a good one.
The stock is excellent, and the manner in which -Ale planting was
done was fast, efficient and with a minInum or wear aria tear on
p4-operty. Follow up mulching and sodding was completed within
c...7tys ot the planting, End the crews involved were pleasant and
respectful of individual homeowner's reciLests, to the best of my
knowledce.
Thank you and your department for a job well done. Drive through
sometim ,. and take a look at the results.

ACQUISITION
Project Description:
Windslope Apartments
11205 Anderson Lakes Parkway
This is a 168 unit Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) Section 8 "family" project
constructed in 1977. All units subsidized through MHFA Section 8 Housing Assistance Plan
(HAP) contract. Rents based on 30% of adjusted gross income. MHFA below market interest
rate (8%) financing. The Section 8 contract expires September, 2017. The project owners can
opt-out of the HAP contract every five years. The owners pursued a redefined equity position
through MHFA February 22, 1990, which obligates them to the Section 8 program until
1997.
Current Owner:
Owned and managed by the National Housing Partnership (NIIP), Naperville, Ill. Steve
Omlie is the project manager, (708) 983-6800.
Future Owner:
The Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDC) is purchasing the project.
NHP will be retained as property manager. The CHDC is a Section 50I(c)(3) non-profit
corporation comprised of six board of directors. Four of the directors have experience in the
area of affordable housing, and two members are low income individuals. Dick Brustad from
Brighton Corporation is on the Board of Directors. CHDC formed in early 1991 to plan,
develop, own and operate housing for low and moderate income persons. They use public
financial resources to reduce the debt and operating costs of housing developments. These
lower annual operating costs combined with governmental regulation and restriction of cash
flow, allow the savings to be passed on to low and moderate income tenants in the form of
affordable rents.
CHDC is also set-up to carry out the HOME. Program, which HUD developed as part of
the 1990 Cranston-Gonzales National Housing Act passed by the U.S. Congress in 1990.
HUD, under Title 11 of the Act, will provide housing block grants to states and local
governments to provide housing with affordable rents to low and moderate income
individuals. A portion of these funds will be set aside exclusively for non-profits corporations.
CHDC is structured to comply with the eligibility requirements for a non-profit corporation
as set forth by HUD. Each future project purchased or developed by CHDC will have one
low income tenant as a member of their board of directors. One-third of the board members
must be low income individuals to be in compliance with the 1990 Affordable Housing Act.

$6,087,491. The acquisition price of the land, buildings and personal property comprising
the Project is $4,344,079, while the remaining $1,743,412 of the purchase price represents
the existing reserves being acquired by the Owner. The closing of such acquisition is to be
simultaneous with the closing and delivery of the Bonds.
(3)
The Debt Service Reserve Fund will initially be funded by Bond Proceeds. The bond
underwriters require a set-aside amount equal to one years payment in principal and interest.
These funds will pay the debt service in case of temporary shortage of net revenue, or will
be used to make last principal and interest payment on Project.
(4) The Rehabilitation Account will initially be funded by a deposit of Bond proceeds. These
funds will be used to partially replace the following: side walks, kitchen cabinets, windows,
carpet, hot water heaters, appliances, and door locks. There also will be roof and gutter
repair.
(5) Costs of issuance will be paid in part from Bond proceeds and in part from existing reserves
relating to the Project that will be acquired by the Owner. This amount includes fees and
expenses of Bond Counsel, the Trustee, counsel for the Trustee, the Issuer, counsel for the
Issuer, counsel for the Owner, and counsel for the Underwriter, printing costs, recording and
filing fees, title insurance premiums and fees, accounting fees, the Underwriter's fee, and
other miscellaneous costs and expenses.
(6) This amount represents the amount of the prepayment penalty to be paid to MHFA in
connection with the prepayment of the outstanding indebtedness on the Project. This amount
will be paid from existing reserves relating to the Project that will be acquired by the Owner.
(7) This amount represents the amount to be paid to Brighton Development Corporation at closing
from existing reserves relating to the Project that will be acquired by the Owner. This
represents the developer's fee.
(8) This amount is to be deposited in the Insurance and Tax Escrow Fund at closing from existing
reserves relating to the Project that will be acquired by the Owner.
(9) This amount represents an initial deposit by the Owner to the Bond Fund from existing
reserves relating to the Project that will be acquired by the Owner.
(10) This amount represents unrestricted cash for use by the Owner from existing reserves relating
to the Project that will be acquired by the Owner.

REPLY TO EDEN PRAIRIE OFFICE -
Mayor and Members of City Council
City of Eden Prairie
7600 Executive Drive
Eden Prairie, MN 55344
RE: Outdoor Advertising Sign Zones
Dear Mayor and Members of the Council:
Presently S11.71 of the City Code designates a strip of land
200 in depth along the northerly side of Highway 169 from the
westerly city limits to the west line of Section 27, Township
116, Range 22, and a strip 200' in depth extending along the
northerly side of Interstate Highway 494 bounded on the east by
the City limits and on the west by Highway 169. As you know, a
number of outdoor advertising signs within these areas have been
removed in recent years. While they may have been removed under
circumstances whereby the owner of the signs or the property may
not be able to erect a new sign, there may also be situations in
which a subsequent owner could do so. If the Council wishes to
avoid such an occurrence I believe consideration should be given
to amending City Code S11.71.
Our office has reviewed applicable case law and enclosed
please find a Memorandum, dated October 24, 1991 discussing some
of those cases. The cases discussed in the Memorandum suggest
several alternatives that are available for the regulation of
outdoor advertising signs. Two definitions contained in the
Memorandum are important. Those are "on-site" and "commercial"
versus "non-commercial". The term on-site is fairly synonymous
with accessory sign as that term is defined in the Code as a sign
relating to a business or profession or a commodity, service or
entertainment sold or offered upon the premises where the sign is
located. The other important distinction is commercial versus
non-commercial. Commercial signs are those which advertise a
product or service for profit or for business purposes. Non-
commercial includes charitable, political, public service, and
religious messages.
Mayor and Members of City Council
October 24 1991
Page 2
I believe current case law offers the following
alternatives:
1. Prohibit all off-site commercial advertising within
the City.
2. Limit off-site commercial advertising to certain
districts. This is the present situation.
3. Permit all non-commercial advertising without any
limitations or restrictions.
4. Prohibit all off-site non-commercial advertising. This
option has been found acceptable only in the Fourth Circuit
United States Court of Appeals. We did not find any other
Federal Circuit Courts in the United States which have approved
such a total ban.
5. Regulate non-commercial off-site signs.
Regulation of non-commercial signs must meet the
following criteria:
A. The restriction must be content neutral. In other
words, it is not permissible to regulate the subject matter or
words of the message.
B. The restriction must serve a significant governmental
interest.
C. The restriction must be narrowly tailored to that
governmental interest.
D. There must be left open ample alternative channels for
communication of the information.
This is probably the most difficult alternative to achieve
because of the differences in opinion as to whether a particular
regulation meets the tests.
Sincerely,
_/Aog,IX A. -Pauly

REPLY TO EDEN PRAIRIE OFFICE
To: Mayor and Members of City Council
Through: Carl Jullie, City Manager
From: Roger A. Pauly, City Attorney
Subject: Outdoor Advertising Sign Regulations
Date: October 24, 1991
1. DEFINITIONS.
A. On-Site. An on-site sign is the same as an "assessory
sign" as defined in the City Code. Generally, those
are signs advertising a commodity or service sold on
the premises.
B. Commercial v. Non-Commercial. Commercial speech has
been defined by Black's Law Dictionary as "speech
that advertise(s) a product or service for profit or
or business purpose." Non-commercial speech includes
messages relating to services performed by charitable
and civic organizations, fund raising campaigns for
charitable or civic organizations, campaigns to fight
crime, drug addiction or drunken driving, political
messages by candidates for public office, messages on
political issues, messages by religious organizations.
See, National Advertising Company v. City of Bridgeton,
626 F. Supp. 837, 838 (Ed. MO 1985).
2. OFF-SITE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING.
A. General Rule Relating to Regulation of Commercial Speech.
A four part test has been adopted to determine the
legality of regulating commercial speech which is set
forth as follows:
"(1) The First Amendment protects commercial
speech only if that speech concerns lawful
activity and is not misleading. A restriction
on otherwise protected commercial speech is
valid only if it (2) seeks to implement a
substantial government interest, (3) directly
advances that interest, and (4) reaches no
further than necessary to accomplish the
given objective."
Metromedia Inc. v. San Diego, 453 U.S. 490, 507 (1981)7
Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corporation v. Public
-2-
Service Commission of New York, 447 U.S. 557, 563-566
(1980).
B. Completely Prohibit. The City may prohibit off-site
commercial advertising entirely in the interest of
traffic safety and aesthetics.
In Metromedia, the Supreme Court found San Diego's
ordinance prohibiting off premise outdoor
advertising signs, except certain categories
as applied to commercial speech, to be valid.
The exempt categories were government, bus stops,
historical, religious, for sale and lease, time,
temperature and news, temporary off-premise
subdivision directional and temporary political
campaign signs, as well as signs in shopping
malls and those on public and commercial vehicles.
The Court found that the prohibition was justified
for reasons of traffic safety and aesthetics.
Id. at 507-511.
3. OFF-SITE "NON-COMMERCIAL" ADVERTISING.
A. Do Not Prohibit. The Supreme Court in Metromedia
found San Diego's ordinance unconstitutional because
it favored commercial speech while approving non-
commercial speech. The safest approach would be to
allow off-site non-commercial billboards.
-3-
B. Option to Prohibit. The United States Court of Appeals
for the Fourth Circuit appears to be the only circuit
which has addressed the banning of all off-premise,
non-commercial billboards. Naegele Outdoor
Advertising, Inc. v. City of Durham, 844 F.2d 172,
(4th Cir. 1988). The Court stated in Naegele
that all off-premise billboards (with the
exception of "for sale" and construction signs)
could constitutionally be outlawed because the
ordinance, in that case, specifically contained
a provision that "any sign authorized in this
ordinance is allowed to contain non-commercial
copy in lieu of other copy." Georgia Outdoor
Advertising, Inc. v. City of Waynesville, 833 F.2d
43, 44 (4th Cir. 1987). Please note that although
the fourth circuit has allowed the prohibition
of all off-premise, non-commercial billboards,
except where other signs are allowed, this has
not been approved by the United States Supreme
Court. While this is an option for the City it
is risky.
C. Regulate Non-Commercial Signs. If the Council
chooses to regulate rather than prohibit off-premise
non-commercial signs, it cannot pick and choose which
areas of non-commercial speech to allow or disallow.
-4-
Goward v. City of Minneapolis, 456 N.W.2d 460, 464
(Minn. App. 1990). For example, political messages,
political candidates, tax issues, fund raising
campaigns for charitable organizations, drunk driving
campaigns or other specific non-commercial speech
issues cannot be specifically allowed or disallowed
within an ordinance. All types must be permitted.
Regulation is limited to time, place and manner.
In Rzadkowolski v. Village of Lake Orion 845 F.2d 653
(6th Cir. 1988) the court upheld an ordinance against a
claim that billboard restrictions contained in the ordi-
nance unconstitutionally prohibit non-commercial adver-
tising. The ordinance in question permitted temporary
signs carrying political messages in each of three zoning
districts. Although the ordinance permitted billboards
to depict commercial or non-commercial messages, the
size, distance, and zoning restrictions limited the
number of billboards in the entire village to only one in
the industrial district. The ordinance allowed on
premises signs to display commercial or non-commercial
messages related to activities conducted on the premises.
In State by Spanus V. Hopf, 323 N.W.2d 746 (S.Ct. 1982)
the court approved that part of the Minnesota Outdoor
Advertising Control Act, which bans off premise advertising
signs within 100' of a church or school.
-5-
If the Council wishes to restrict the time, place, or
manner of non-commercial signs, then the following will
be required:
1. The restriction must be content neutral;
2. The restriction must be narrowly tailored to serve
significant government interest; and
3. The restriction must leave open ample alternative
channels for communication of the information.
Metromedia at 516; Goward at 464; Prairie Educational
Association v. Prairie Local Educators Association,
460 U.S. 37, 45 (1983).
This type of regulation is difficult to formulate in
practice.
4. ON PREMISE SIGNS.
A. Banning On Premise Signs. There is no specific case law
which allows the banning of on premise signs. The
Supreme Court has suggested that a business has a strong
interest in identifying its place of business and ad-
vertising its products available thereon. Metromedia at
512. Therefore, on premise signs should not be banned.
B. Real Estate Signs. The Supreme Court has held that
real estate signs offering property for sale in a
-6-
residential district are so unique and special that they
cannot be prohibited. Glennmark Associates, Inc. V.
Willingboro, 431 U.S. 85 (1977). However, the Minnesota
Court of Appeals stated in Goward that if a City allows
real estate signs, caution must be taken not to treat
the real estate signs more favorably than non-commercial
speech. Goward at 465. "For sale" and "for rent" signs
can be regulated on the basis of size, height and
location to prohibit the signs from blocking the driver's
attention in an effort to promote safety. Easternber
and County Board of Realtors, Inc., et al. v. Borough
of Fortley, et al., 720 Fed. Supp. 51 (D.N.J. 1989).
5. PUBLIC PROPERTY.
A. An ordinance prohibiting the posting of signs on
public property was held constitutional as applied to
political candidates. The Members of the City Council
of The City of Los Angeles, et al. v. Taxpayers for
Vincent, 104 S.Crt. 2118 (1984). Therefore, it appears
that the City can choose to prohibit the posting of all
billboards or signs on public property whether the
message is commercial or non-commercial. However,
please note that all signs were prohibited. The City
cannot choose to prohibit some and allow others.

FROM: Diane Harberts, Administrator
SUBJECT: Appointments to the Southwest Metro Transit Commission (SMTC)
As of January 1, 1992, the two Commission positions representing Eden Prairie will be
vacant. The Commission requests the City Council to fill these positions by January 1 or
as soon as possible thereafter. The first Commission meeting of 1992 is scheduled for
January 23.
The Joint Powers Agreement requires that the first position be filled by a City Council
member (including mayor). The term of the position is three years, from January 1.
1992 to December 31, 1995. Council member Patricia Pidcock holds the position,
completing the term of Gary Peterson, until December 31, 1991.
The second position is a two-year term (January 1, 1992 - December 31, 1994) and
must be filled by a resident of Eden Prairie who is an SMTC express or Dial-A-Ride
service user. This person does not need to be a City Council member. We would like to
offer our assistance in identifying SMTC service users with an interest in transit who
might fill this position.
Commission members represent the interests of their City as they work together to
achieve Southwest Metro Transit's goals and objectives. They are responsible for
attending Commission meetings which are scheduled for the evening of the fourth
Thursday of each month at one of the city halls. In 1992, the Commission will meet at
Chaska City Hall.
We will be pleased to provide appropriate assistance to the City Council in its selection
process.

Mark Ryan
Metropolitan Airports Commission
6040 - 28th Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55450
Dear Mr. Ryan:
We wish to go on record as being opposed, for several reasons, to the
proposed expansion of runway 9R at Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie:
* the City of Eden Prairie, which represents the residents of the city,
is against the expansion;
* the proposed purchase of land would remove several hundred acres of
taxable property from the city's tax base;
* numerous homeowners, including ourselves, would lose their homes;
* FCM is currently a good corporate citizen of Eden Prairie which
brings in several million dollars in business annually and has a good working
relationship with the city government; an expansion which the City opposes
puts this relationship at risk;
* preliminaries to the environmental impact study indicate a variety of
potential problems that would be caused by the expansion.
We understand and acknowledge that there are times when "the greater good"
overrides individual concerns; at such times a government agency may well
come to an unpopular decision even after considering all the pros and cons.
In this case, however, MAC gives the appearance of being totally unconcerned about objections raised by those people who would be most directly affected
by the proposed expansion. This approach can only hurt all concerned, as it
predisposes the citizenry to be as uncooperative as they perceive the agency
to be.
We ask that you reconsider this proposal and abandon plans to expand runway
9R at Flying Cloud Airport.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Petron

The meeting began at 3:10 p.m. in the Council Chamber of
the Eden Prairie City Offices.
AGENDA
Geurts asked that meetings on health risk assessments be
considered under Other Business.
DISCUSSION OF FINAL GRADING PLAN
Gibson related that the final plans were expected to be
delivered to the MPCA in early November. MPCA approval
is expected by December.
Hawke reviewed the plans presented to the MPCA and the
Committee in June and explained changes made in the plans
after their review and comment.
Original plans called for drainage in the horseshoe
channel to be over refuse in some cases. Where possible,
drainage should be over undisturbed land. WSS/BFI is
working with the MAC to use some of its property
immediately north of the landfill so that drainage can be
placed away from refuse. An easement from the MAC is the
preferred method of gaining use of this land.
City of Eden Prairie
Landfill Closure Committee Meeting
October 28, 1991
Page Two
Slopes in the horseshoe channel were designed with a 0.5%
grade. As the channel is 5,000 feet long, the difference
in elevation would be 25 feet. If a 1% slope were
required, the change in elevation would be 50 feet.
A number of other changes were highlighted (this list is
not all-inclusive):
* All drainage swale slopes on the landfill surface
would be at least 2%.
* Slopes in the horseshoe channel were increased to
0.5%.
* The south collection channel was moved away from
the bluff.
* Almost all of the overland flow on the refuse
deposit will be less than 200 feet.
* Swales will be more V-shaped than U-shaped.
* The amount of waste to be disturbed during grading
has been reduced from 250,000 cubic yards to
120,000 cubic yards.
* Side slopes to the horseshoe trench would be
reduced from 5:1 to 10:1.
* The frequency of drainageways and swales has been
doubled.
• Rip-rap would be installed to handle the 25-year
storm event, and the sedimentation basin designed
for a 100-year storm event.
* An underdrain system is also built into the design.
Woodward-Clyde summarized the concerns of the Committee
as the proper stepness of slope in the horseshoe trench,
drainage of surface waters from a fully-paved use on the
former drive-in site, and to evaluate high stress areas
for the storm event. Hawke believed that these issues
had been adequately addressed.
There was a question about the need for rip-rap to handle
the 100-year storm event in the upper reaches of the
horseshoe trench. Woodward-Clyde noted that MPCA rules
require a 10-year design. WCC has designed the system to
City of Eden Prairie
Landfill Closure Committee Meeting
October 28, 1991
Page Three
handle the 25-year event and assumed the old drive-in
site was fully paved. The on-site drainage system can
store water from the 100-year event. WSS/BFI prefers to
repair damage as it occurs during the post-closure
period; it did not wish to over-design the system at this
stage.
With regard to future plans:
-- Lynn asked that refuse areas be super-imposed on
grading plans.
-- Rue asked that drainage sheds be shown on the site
where possible.
WSS/BFI stated that along the northern and eastern
boundaries of its property, drainage flowed away from the
landfill.
WCC noted that tne final cap would extend beyond the
limits of the landfill deposit.
Grading Schedule: WSS/BFI wants to move the 120,000
cubic yards of refuse this winter. It hopes to meet a
February timeframe to conduct earthmoving operations.
WSS/BFI has stockpiled 30,000 cubic yards of clay during
the past month on the old drive-in site. It still needs
200,000 cubic yards of clay for the cap.
IV. FLOW CHART OF PLANNING ACTIVITIES AND APPROVALS
WSS/BFI hoped to be completed with its closure
construction activities by Fall 1992. WCC showed an
intricate flow chart of the components of the closure
document and who is required to take action. These
components include:
1) Methane Collection System
- Phase I has been OK'd by the MPCA and is under
construction.
- Phase II would be done concurrently with final
grading.
2) Grading - Plans are in process.
City of Eden Prairie
Landfill Closure Committee Meeting
October 28, 1991
Page Four
3) Financial Assurance
4) Risk Assessment
5) Barrier Well System
6) End Use
7) Post-closure Monitoring Program
8) Final Closure Documents
The group agreed that some time references should be
noted on the chart.
D. Coller questioned whether the compartmentalized
approach would result in precluding alternative pollution
treatment systems. By making progress on the final
grading plan and expediting the timetable to place the
cap over the refuse, the number of alternatives to pump-
and-treat systems becomes limited. Does the
compartmentalized approach preclude such techniques as
infiltration, flushing, and cyclic pumping?
Committee members agreed that it was in everyone's
interest to cap the landfill as soon as possible. The
landfill could be capped and closed without a decision
made on the suitability of a barrier well system.
Injecting water under a cap may be better managed than
relying on natural irrigation from variable rainfall and
snowfall.
Frost reminded the group that WSS/BFI is under legal
obligation to install a pump-and-treat system. WSS/BFI
did not wish to have grading and construction work extend
into 1993.
V. OTHER BUSINESS
A. Meetings on Health Risk Assessments
Geurts said that WSS/BFI planned a November 19
community open house at the Eden Prairie Center to
relate results of health risk assessments. He
requested that the Committee meet on November 18 to
review information to be presented at the open
house. Assessment reports could be sent to
Committee Members around November 4.

Landfill Closure Committee Meeting

Lehman noted that neither she nor Hansen would be
able to meet on these dates. She also said they
would need more than two weeks to review the
reports. City and HHHA representatives indicated
they would be uncomfortable with the short
timeframes for reaction. They wanted to see the
Committee process have credibility, and this
objective can be realized when parties on the
Committee have sufficient opportunity to discuss
and understand information before it is widely
disseminated to the public.
VI. NEXT MEETING
The next meeting date was not scheduled. It will be set
for sometime in early December. Two major issues will be
facing the Committee: results and implications of the
pump tests, and health risk assessment issues. These
topics will not be scheduled for the same meeting.

B. Barb Cross Re: Authorization to Proceed with Site Plan
for Cummins-Grill Homestead
Barb cross is asking the Commission for authorization
to work with John Gertz on a master plan of the Cummins-
Grill site.
Campbell Potter asked if this has been discussed with
the other committees. Helling said yes.
MOTION: Atkins moved to authorize Barb Cross and John
Gertz to proceed with the site plan for the Cummins-
Grill Homestead. Kailas seconded the motion and it
passed 5-0.
C. Rick Conlow, Metropolitan Corporation, Re: Visioning
Meeting Proposal
Betty McMahon introduced Rick Conlow. Rick has been
a corporate trainer for ten years and has authored
a book entitled "Excellence in Business." He also
has his own consulting firm.
Conlow's proposal included his philosophy, past
experience, group leadership and investment involved.
Kailas asked if he has done visioning as opposed to
strategic planning. Conlow said that strategic planning
is a more complicated process and that visioning is
a more streamlined version. He has been more involved
in the strategic process because most companies want
to spend the time to do this.
Kallas asked Conlow if he had more experience in the
profit organizations. Conlow said yes.
Kailas asked what amount of time is committed to pre-
work. Conlow said it depends upon the individual.
Atkins asked how the visioning process will work in
this type of group where the committees change so often.
Conlow said the planning process needs to be made clear
to new members.

0. Betty Craig, Betty Craig and Associates Re: Visioning
Meeting Proposal
Betty Craig's presentation was made during the Sunbonnet
Day meeting prior to the Commission meeting.
E. John Hensrud Re: Visioning Meeting Proposal
Hensrud distributed a brochure which included a
description of purpose (planning, documentation) and
services applications. He said that 2-3 goals can
be worked on in this time frame.
Hensrud discussed several aspects of the visioning
process such as "prouds and sorries", goals, observable
indicators, identifying obstacles and supports, an
implementation plan and a reevaluation of the plan
on a regular basis.
Hensrud said that he is booked the first three Saturdays
in October and is available in November. His fee is
$50 per hour with two hours preparation time and six
hours on Saturday.
Kallas asked if it would be detrimental for John to
know most of the people involved. Hensrud said he
does not think it would be a problem.
Kallas asked if it would bp an advantage or a disadvantage
that Hensrud knows so much about the subject. Hensrud
said he feels it would be an advantage and he would
not lead the group anywhere they do not want to go.
G. David Renz, OID Associates, Re: Visioning Meeting Proposal
Renz is in the process of starting his own consulting
company. He has been involved in government previously.
Renz distributed his proposal which included an
explanation of visioning, consultant's responsibility,
project staffing and charges.
Kallas said that Renz's emphasis seems to be on customers
constiuents, etc. He does not feel it is known what
the citizens of Eden Prairie want and asked if this
would be a problem. Renz said that hopefully after
the session, the group will want to relate more with
members of the community.

Renz added that he is not available the last week of
October.
Campbell Potter said that she has participated in
visioning in several forms and that sometimes a less
formal process is an advantage for a diverse group
such as this one.
Campbell Potter added that she feels Hensrud has a
lot to offer as a participant and should not be considerec
as the facilitator. Case agreed.
Hoppe suggested eliminating Rick Conlow, as he didn't
feel his experience would fit with this group. Case
agreed.
Campbell Potter said Betty Craig's presentation was
similar to Hensrud's which is very flexible and informal.
However, she suggested that the interview process be
added rather than the survey form.
MOTION: Case moved to hire Betty Craig as the facilitator
for the visioning meeting. Kallas seconded the motion
and it passed 5-0.
After discussion, the Commission decided on November
2 or November 16 as dates for the meeting depending
upon the availability of the Outdoor Center. McMahon
will check on Betty Craig's available dates and her
feelings about meeting with Commission members
individually prior to the meeting. McMahon will also
call Betty Craig and send a letter to the other
presenters.

Helling said that a proposal was received from
Daniel Rieppel about having a classical music chamber
series during next year's summer concert series.
Helling added that additional series such as jazz
will be discussed, as well as extending the concert
season.
2. Heritage Preservation Commission
Case reported that the wallpaper in the parlor
at Cummins-Grill Homestead will be taken off and
the new wallpaper will probably not be available
by Sunbonnet Day.
Case asked why there isn't a sign for the Frederick-
Miller Spring. Helling said that the site had
just been redone by a volunteer and staff felt
that instead of removing the existing sign this
year, it should be done in the spring of 1992.
Case said that John Gertz will contact the people
that were interested in donating butternut trees.
Case said that the Historical Society has a list
of artifacts that are at each of the sites showing
who donated the item and when.
3. Restoration and Preservation Committee
Hensrud reported that he has been working with
John Gertz regarding the Anderson house. There
was a public hearing set for September 16 about
setting it up as a heritage preservation site.
They wanted it delayed until September 30, but
found out that the State Historical Society must
review the request first and it will not be finished
for at least two weeks. The public hearing won't
be held until mid to late October.
Hensrud has talked to the son of the current owner
who was not pleased with the prospect of this
becoming a historic site. Hensrud told him that
the Commission only proposes sites and they must
be approved by the City Council.
Hoppe said that he feels the Commission needs to
be very honest with the owner on the progress that
is being made,

Kallas asked if there has been any word from the
City Attorney. Hensrud said they have not heard
back from him.
Case commented that proposing historic sites is
a fairly new issue in cities the size of Eden Prairie,,
but happens often in larger cities.
Hensrud invited members of the Commission to a
meeting on Monday, September 23 at 7:00 p.m. at
City Hall when two representatives from the State
Historical Society will make a presentation.
4. Art-on-City Walls Committee
Campbell Potter reported that the person who had
volunteered for the position of Art-in-Business
chair has declined. Campbell Potter and Helling
will handle this, as all that it involves is setting
up the schedule of shows and handling any problems
that might arise.
Helling said that the artists for the watercolor
show at City Hall in November had a conflict with
the date, but the dates should be able to be filled.
Campbell Potter noted that the new display case
in City Hall was purchased for $250. However,
the case does not have a lock.
Helling added that Wednesday, September 11, is
the open house for the art that is currently on
display at City Hall.

abstained.
2. 1992 Proposed Budget
Helling said that the City was over the $2 million
mil levy limit for 1992. For this reason, capital
outlay items were cut including the signage for
$2000.
Helling said that the Commission can write a letter
to the City Council requesting that the funding
remain in the budget.
Campbell Potter said that she would rather see
the signage eliminated than ()the( programs cut.
Helling suggested that if there is an excess amount
of money in this year's budget, it could be
reallocated to purchase signage before :end of
this year.
Kallas suggested using some of the money from the
sale of the Kouba print.
MOTION: Case moved to authorize Helling to proceed
with reallocating any excess money in the 1991
budget to purchase signage this year.
Kallas seconded the motion.
On call for discussion, Hoppe asked when the City
will approve the Commission budget. Helling said
that the total budget was approved at the end of
August and individual line items are being reviewed
at this time.

Kallas asked if the bank will keep a record of who
has access to the prints and on what date. Campbell
Potter said that the procedure will not be the same
as for a safety deposit box and to keep in mind that
the bank is storing the prints at no charge and to
keep this type of a record would be additional work
for them.
MOTION: Case moved that Kallas be appointed as the
at large commission member with access to the prints.
Hoppe seconded the motion and it passed 5-0.
Hoppe asked that the minutes reflect the action taken
by the City Council. This reads as follows:

to accept all remaining Les Kouba prints along with
the profits.

and Cultural Commission, related the request of the
Foundation to transfer ownership to the City of the
remaining 400 prints of the Cummins-Grill Homestead
rendered by Les Kouba, as well as the $26,000 in proceeds
from the sale of the prints to date. The Foundation
also requested that the $26,000 and whatever proceeds
collected in the future be used only for the restoration
and preservation of the Cummins-Grill Homestead. The
original painting would remain in the ownership of
the Foundation.
