Location: south of Riverview Road, east of West Riverview Drive, (Drdinance No. 106-84 - zoning and Resolution No. 84-215 - preliminary plat) Continued Public Hearing from October 2, 1984, MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to continue this Public Hearing to the February 19, 1985, Meetinq of the City Council at which time a Public Hearing on the storm drainage feasbility report will also be held. Motion carried unanimously. I f City Council Minutes -4- January 22, 1985 B. Public Hearing for the Removal of Diseased Trees on Private Property. by City Con tract�Resolution No. 85-31 City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been pub- lished and all property owners listed on the preliminary assessment roll had been sent notices. City Forester Fox referred to his memorandum of January 15, 1985, in which this matter was addressed and noted changes which had occurred. John Liepke, 15208 Scenic Heights Road, indicated the problems he has in attempting to remove his trees which would affect NSP and cable lines. Bentley suggested this problem be worked out between Fox and Liepke. MOT10N: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 85-31, ordering a public improvement for the removal of diseased elm trees with the changes as noted this evening. Motion carried with Anderson abstaining. C. Street name change: South Shore Drive between Ticonderoga Trail and Muir iel ddition Ordinance No. 1=85 City Manager Jullie indicated notice of this Public Hearing had been published and residents affected by this change had been notified by mail. Director of Public Works Dietz stated the proposal is to change the street name of South Shore Drive between Ticonderoga Trail and the new Muirfield Addition to the name Winchester Lane. This change would help s avoid future conflicts with the the same street name applied to two disjointed streets. Pidock said she felt it was too bad to have to change the street name. Bentley asked what contact had been made with the residents who would be affected. Dietz said those affected had been sent a letter regarding this Public Hearing; he was aware of only one call regarding this matter. Redpath said it was his understanding that not too many homes would be affected; he thought there might be some affect on the residents of the eastern portion of South Shore Lane also. Dick Hawkins, 18099 South Shore Lane, expressed concern regarding the cost of changing the name of the street. He said it would cost a minimum of $500 for those self-employed persons on South Shore Lane to make the necessary changes to letterhead, etc. Sandy Forsman, 18180 South Shore Lane, said the residents of this neighborhood have not experienced any problems in getting emergency help due to the name of the street. Paul Armsmore, South Shore Lane, also voiced concern about the forms which a self-employed person would have to change should there be a street name change. City Council Minutes -5- January 22, 1985 s Marie Gunderson, 18220 South Shore Lane, said she was offended by the fact that comments had been voiced that new residents would be least affected by the change -- she said she had lived at this address for three years but some of the residents have lived there for ten years, She noted there are many disjointed streets in the metropolitan area, i There was discussion by the Council as to the effect of a name change on the residents living on the eastern portion of South Shore Lane as well as those in the area under discussion. It was noted that the j residents of the eastern portion of South Shore Lane (that area east of Duck Lake Road) had not been notified by mail of tonigh's Public Hearing. Peterson asked what the rationale was for the name change. Jullie said there was a potential for a problem, particularly in regard to emergencies in the area; and,if a change were to be made, the time would be now. Anderson suggested the name be changed to East and West South Shore } Lane over a period of time. Jullie said changing the drive, trail, etc, portion of a street name causes confusion; he noted that the same problems arise with north, south, east, and west designations. Pidcock asked if the east and west portions of South Shore Lane would ever be extended. Dietz said they would not. Bentley suggested Staff meet with residents and a solution, He said he could sympathize with the people and their business problems relating to a name change. Dietz said there was no particular advantage to having the street designated West South Shore Lane and East South Shore Lane, Jim Ostenson, Tandem Corp., developer of Muirfield, said they had a problem in getting a building permit because the final plat has not been filed -- the street name is necessary prior to the filing, MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Bentley, to leave the street name as South Shore Lane, Bentley said he would like to have this item continued so Staff could meet with the residents, He said Staff had presented some valid concerns and so had the residents. Peterson said he felt the east/west designation would help to differentiate the areas of South Shore Lane. Bentley said he would like to see the residents of the eastern portion of South Shore Lane notified of a Hearing so they could have some input, Anderson indicated he could live with the east/west designation. THE MOTION WAS WITHDRAWN, i City Council Minutes -6- January 22, 1985 MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 1-85. changing the name of South (, Shore Lane between Ticonderoga Trail and Muirfield Addition to South Shore Lane West. Motion carried unanimously, j D. EASEMENT VACATION IN MUIRFIELD ADDITION (Resolution No. 85-30) i City Manager Jullie indicated notice of this Public Hearing had been published, i Director of Public Works Dietz noted this was a housekeeping item; the subject easement was no longer necessary. There were no comments from the audience, MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 85-30, vacating the right-of-way and utility easement in the northwest < of the northeast ; of Section 7, Motion carried unanimously, E. TRANSFER OF COMMUNITY.DEVELOPMENT BLOCK FUNDS. Transfer of CDBG funds rom a contingency account to acquisition o real property account for construction of senior housing.. City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been published and called attention to Steve Durham's memorandum of January 17, 1985, in which the matter was addressed, Jullie noted that final action to reprogram the funds will occur at a later date when specific details of this program are defined. Bentley asked if the appropriated fund would be available at a later date for something else. Enger said the fund could be reprogrammed at a later date. He noted the County has now put timelines on these funds; the County had suggested the City place these funds in an contingency account. There were no comments from the audience, MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the Public Hearing and direct the transfer of CDBG funds from a contingency account to an acquisition of real property account for the construction of senior housing. Motion carried unanimously, V. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS NOS. 18056 - 18323 MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to approve the Payment of Claims Nos. 18056 - 18323. Roll call vote: Anderson, Bentley, Pidcock, Redpath and Peterson voted "aye". Motion carried unanimously. GS, City Council Minutes -7- January 22, 1985 VI. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS i There were none.

VIII. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS A. Appeal by Welcome Home on decision of Board of Appeals and Adjustments to permit 18 unrelated adult residents in a family care home facility i City Manager Jul lie stated residents in the Willow Creek neighborhood had been advised that this would be on the Council Agenda this evening. Jullie noted that this request had been before the Board of Appeals & Adjustments for a variance for a group home with 18 residents. That request was denied by the Board. The proponents had also appeared j before the Human Rights & Services Commission on October 15, 1984. 1 That Commission endorsed the concept of group homes but did not recommend approval of this specific request. Since the decision of the Board of Appeals & Adjustments, the proponents have amended their request and are now asking for a 16 resident group home rather than the 18 residents group home. Additional materials have also !1 been supplied; these have been reviewed by Staff and City Attorney Pauly. Jullie said that Pauly's memo of January 18, 1985, concluded that there is persuasive evidence that the house in question should be considered as a multiple dwelling and, therefore, a State licensed residential facility serving up to 16 persons would be a legitimate use and not subject to the need for a variance as originally presumed. Pauly also noted that substantial remodeling of some of the rooms as proposed would probably not be considered as an unlawful enlargement of the non-conforminn use status. i City Council Minutes -8- January 22, 1985 Y Jullie indicated this matter was again reviewed by the Human Rights & Services Commission on January 15, 1985. At that time the Commission members were satisfied with the information and testimony provided by the proponent and others and, accordingly, they recommended that the Council consider this item for approval. Jullie stated the focus of tonight's discussion should be on whether or not this is a single family dwelling. City Attorney Pauly noted that pages 272 - 361 of the Council packet contained materials pertinent to Welcome Home. Also distributed were an affidavit dated January 14, 1985, signed by Mrs. Illah M. Sutton; and memordanda (with attachments) dated December 18, 1984, and January 8, 1985, from Steve Durham, Assistant Planner. A1.1 of the foregoing were a part of the record. Barbara Willcox, representing Welcome Home, addressed the program to be offered at the facility and noted it will be a respite care program usually 30 days in length and not more than 60 days serving 16 adults. Also present were: June Thiesee, Hennepin County Mental Health Services: Jim Oren, Minnesota and Hennepin County Mental Health Association; Nelma Mavison, resident of Eden Prairie and involved in Mental Health organizations; Jan Check, nurse therapist and resident of Eden Prairie; Richard Powell, Wellspring; Gene Kemp, therapist in private practice; Dell Evans, architect for Welcome Home; Stephen Schele, Welcome Home; and Jack Strothman, attorney for Welcome Home. { Willcox reviewed the plans for the structure: she noted that the third foor (attic area) and the garage would not be used; the screened porch �. would be winterized and used as a reception area. Willcox noted that the Health Department and Department of Public Welfare regulations dic- tate room size. Bentley asked if Welcome Home is a non-profit or for-profit enterprise. Willcox indicated it was for-profit. Bentley asked what the cost of renovating the structure would be. Willcox said she thought between $20,000 and $30,000, Bentley asked what the current assessed valuation of the building was. Assistant Planner Durham said he did not have that information. Peterson indicated the Council must deal with the question of whether or not this is a single or multi-family residence, Redpath concurred and said the Council cannot be concerned with the licensing and programming as these are governed by the County and State; the Council's decision boils down to one of use. Peterson asked for the definition of multiple dwelling unit and the significance of changing a non-conforming use. City Attorney Pauly read the definitions from the City Code. i I j j i City Council Minutes -9- January 22, 19B5 ( Pauly noted his memorandum dated January 18, 1985, in which Welcome Nome was discussed. He stated that the present City Code permits a single family residence on ten acres in a Rural District; the previous Ordinance permitted a single family use on five acres in a Rural zone. Pauly said City Staff conducted an investigation in an attempt to determine what the use of the property was prior to October, 1969. Pauly called attention to the affidavits included in the packet which assert that the building has been used as a multi-family dwelling. City records do not reveal the existence of any building permits for the installation of these facilities (i.e. separate bathroom, kitchen and laundry facilities.) The building's use as a multi-fanily dwelling was asserted by Mrs. Ilah Sutton and Donald Hanson, previous and present owners of the building. Pauly reviewed the history of residents living on the property. Pauly pointed out that whether this property has been used as a single family dwelling unit or as a multiple family dwelling must be examined by each member of the Council; the Council must examine the documents and affidavits to make that determination. Bentley said that after examining the court cases provided by City Attorney Pauly, the question that came to him was,at what time does a pre-existing non-conforming use break with the zoning laws as to what should be per- mitted on this property? Should a non-conforming use on a pre-existing piece of property be treated in the same manner that a conforming use would be treated? Bentley said he felt the Council was looking at a commercial venture which was not a continuation of a present non-conforming use. He felt there was now a break from the use as a residential duplex to a commercial venture which has a commercial use. Pauly said that was a point which was thought about early in the process. Pauly said he did not think that the Statutes which require a municipality to permit such a use of a multiple dwelling are limited to situations where the underlying district is a multiple dwelling district. He noted that none of the cases which have been decided have that very fact situation. Bentley said it was his belief that the intent of a grandfathering clause was to protect the property owner. Pauly said that was correct -- so there would not be a taking of property without due process. Bentley said he felt the Council was looking at something which was different in character; the proposal is commercial as well as transient in nature. Pauly noted that the Statute which equates a licensed residen- tial facility (to a multiple family use) makes no differentiation between whether it is non-profit or for-profit, Redpath asked if it would not be better for Welcome Home to lease the building and use it for 15 people because there are three living units in the building. Pauly said he did not think there was any evidence to show the building was a triplex prior to 1980. f City Council Minutes -10- January 22, 1985 i Pidcock inquired as to how long a facility must be used in a certain way to claim that use. Pauly said a use must be determined prior to the adoption of a zoning ordinance. Pidcock asked how the outcome of this would affect other grandfathered properties. Pauly said that is determined on an individual basis. Peterson asked if it would be possible to approve the request subject to the approval of structural changes, Pauly stated that the Buildinn Department and the Fire Marshal have not been heard from yet regarding the changes to the structure which are contemplated and/or necessary. Peterson asked if there would be changes in the parking. Pauly indicated changes in the parking were mentioned in one of the earlier cited cases. ,i Pidcock asked about the date when this was used as a duplex. Pauly p said the use of the structure as a duplex began in 1948 and continued until it became a triplex in 1980. Anderson said from all the information he had received it was his conclusion that this is a multiple dwelling, Bentley said he felt there was a question about the difference between zoned multiple dwellings and pre-existing non-conformino use in a Rural area, Anderson asked how the area was designated on the Guide Plan, Jullie said it was shown as low density residential, Don Sorensen, 7121 Willow Creek Road, inquired about the lines on the dotted lines on the proponents renderings. Willcox said they are no longer applicable. Sorensen questioned the $20,000 figure which had been mentioned as the cost of remodeling the structure, Willcox said that was the architect's estimate. Kent Molde, 7040 Willow Creek Road, President of the Willow Creek Homeowners Association, addressed the question of the spirit of the law on the question of single family versus multiple family use of the property. He noted that hor:.es adjacent to the property also have separate entrances, multiple bedrooms, etc. He stated the home abuts an area which is zoned R1-22. Molde said if this goes into multiple use it will jeopardize development of the remaining low density resi- dential. He said that City Attorney Pauly had taken a different stance at the Board of Appeals & Adjustments meeting and had said this was a single family dwelling based on the utility hookups, etc. Redpath said he cannot see this residence reverting back to that of a sinole family residence. Sorensen said he does not object to the type of use proposed; there is a need for this type of facility. He said he is opposed to the number of people to be housed; if it were to be a six residence facility he would find it acceptable, tie said the issue of whether or not this is a single family use depends on which portion of the Ordinance you select to read. Sorensen said he did not think this home became a non-conforming use until 1980: the expansion of a non-conforming use is not allowed so that the use can be phased out over a period of time. He said the use of this structure on October 14. 1969, was not that of a triplex; the change in use in 1980 was in violation of the zoning ordinance. Sorensen pointed out that no building permits for any of the expansion in the home had been taken out except for the garage and, therefore, were unlawful expansions. City Council Minutes -11- January 22, 1985 Sorensen reviewed the peopole who have owned and lived in the home. He analyzed three cases which referred to similar situations in other cities. Additional issues used to support his conclusion that this should not be expanded included: the driveway is not on the property and there are no rights to it; parking needs are requirements of the Code; there is only one hot water heater in the structure; the second hot water heater was installed after 1969; the laundry room is used by everyone in the building; the changes which would have to be made to the structure ` would preclude its being returned to its original use. Sorensen referred to the December 17, 1984, letter from Steve Durham, Assistant Planner, to Barbara Willcox. His primary issue was concerning the parking. He noted there will be a number of workers at the facility and their arrival and departure times will overlap. The Board of Appeals, according to Sorensen, had raised the point that the City cannot change the use of the structure. Sorensen said he felt the change from a duplex or single family with incidental roamers use to that of a multi-family 16 person use would be a change in the use according to the Statute. Sorensen said he read the Statute as having been written so that cities could not write facilities such as this out of the city. He said he did not feel the Statute was written to allow the expansion of a non- conforming use. He stated he would not oppose granting this use for a facility housing six people which is allowed in a single family dis- trict. Bentley asked if there was evidence before the City Council which showed, 5 without a doubt, that this was a non-conforming use, Pauly said there was none but that was not the standard to be used -- the preponderance of the evidence was the standard. Bentley said he could not accept the rationale that having a boarder makes a use a nulti-family use. lie said the fact that there have never been more than five people occupying this 4 house indicated to him that it should be viewed as a single family home. 4 Pauly said that is the decision which mist be made by the City Council, Pidcock questioned the property line between this property and that of Donald Johnson. Willcox indicated that they would be willing to put in a privacy fence and/or shrubbery should that be necessary for screening. Peterson asked when the term "non-conforming use" was first used in reference to this property. Sorensen said he felt it was at the time of the adoption of the ordinance -- either Ordinance 8 or Ordinance 135. Peterson asked if this property was taxed as a single family hone. Pidcock noted the property owner would have gotten a tax break if his portion had been homesteaded, Peterson said the owner of record had argued successfully that this was a single family unit at the time the sewer connection was made. Jullie pointed out that, in some instances, there can be only one service to a multi-family unit. i City Council Minutes -12- January 22, 1985 Willcox explained that none of the walls would be removed, except for closet walls, in the remodeling process. She noted there had been separate households living in the structure. Willcox said there would be at most seven staff members present at any one time and that would { be for only a short period of time.when times overlapped, Elaine Sorensen, 7121 Willow Creek Road, stated that many homes in this area have separate living units within them, She said that one of the homes has eleven bathrooms but that all of the homes are single family homes. Pauly noted the definition of a "family" as given in the City Code. Redpath asked how many mail deliveries were made to this location. Willcox indicated there were two different mail boxes. Sorensen said Bert Sutton had told him there was only one mail box when he lived there on October 14, 1969. Peterson asked about the status of the property using today's definitions vs. those in use in 1969. Pauly said he felt that October of 1969 was the critical date. Pauly said he felt the Council may look beyond that also -- inferences must be drawn from evidence which is presented on a particular point regarding the intent as to usage. i June Thiesee expressed concern about the Council's questioning whether or not this was a for-profit residential facility. Jack Strothman, Lindquist & Vennum, attorney for Welcome Home, indicated City Attorney Pauly's viewpoint was the only objective one voiced this evening. Strothman said this was a multi-family dwelling unit prior to the reading of the ordinance and remains so today. Redpath said he felt the preponderance of proof is on the proponent. Strothman said he felt the Council should look at the preponderance of evidence in support of the proponent. Anderson expressed concern about the proximity of Johnson's lnt line to this property. He asked what the distance was between the two homes. Jim McNeill, 7251 Willow Creek Road, said it was about 50 yards from his home. Johnson indicated it was about 90 yards from his home. Strothman noted his client was willing to discuss the programs to be offered at this facility. He said he felt it would be appropriate for the Council to ask him questions regarding the proposal. McNeill expressed concern about the lot size and the amount of activity which would be generated by the proposed use and the number of people using the facility. City Council Minutes -13- January 22, 1985 Bentley restated the issue before the Council which was an appeal by the proponent for a reversal of a denial of a variance by the Board of Appeals & Adjustments. Pauly said a variance was required when the request was r for 18 residents in the facility. Strothman said the variance was now obviated, however the Council's approval was still necessary. ti Peterson said he found it almost impossible to made a decision because of the cloudiness of what happened in 1969. He asked if the proponent had proved this structure was used as a multi-family dwelling in 1969. City Attorney Pauly said the evidence was persuasive; he did not feel he could make that determination. i Anderson said he would have to believe this to be a multiple dwelling based on all that he had heard and read. i Bentley said he would like to encourage the efforts of Welcome Home to come into Eden Prairie. He said he had reservations about the concept of metropolitan dispersion -- he did not think it was an appropriate or necessary approach to the handling of all situations in the community. He said he felt the availability of services to the residents is a critical matter. He stated that was not the issue here and he did not intend to make it the issue. Bentley said he was not convinced that this is a legally non-conforming use. He did not think this particular use was a proper use for this site; he would like to see the Council and the proponent work together to find an appropriate site. Redpath stated he would go along with the City Attorney's position and would agree with Council member Anderson's statement regarding use. t Peterson asked about the number of parking spaces and their location. Willcox said there would be 11 parking spaces and indicated their location on the rendering. Willcox said all 11 would very seldom be in use at the same time. Pidcock read Ihlah Sutton's letter of October 25, 1984, in which Sutton stated the property was a duplex when they purchased it in 1958 and remained as such until they sold it in 1979. John Koneck, attorney for the Wilkies, Willow Creek Road residents, said that as a triplex this is a non-conforming illegal use. He said the duplex designation was abandoned in 1979 or 1980, Koneck noted that a non-conforming use cannot be reestablished according to City Code. The duplex use cannot be the basis for the establishment of this use if that is the case. Dr. George Tangen, 7034 Willow Creek Road, recalled when he was on the City Council and the Council was reviewing a conditional use permit and the reasons it was granted. lie said he felt the issue under discussion should be looked upon as a change in the zoning classification. This would be a continued use of a non-conforming use: he did not see that this would be something which would be phased out. Tangen stated that, were he on the Council, he would not vote in favor of this. (669 City Council Minutes -14- January 22, 1985 Bentley said he was still not convinced that the land use question has been resolved, He stated he feared a precedent would be set which would come back to haunt the Council for many years to come, i He said he was not completely convinced that a 16 residents plus office use should be allowed on a .9 acre site. Redpath said he could think of a number of other non-conforming uses in Eden Prairie. John Golle, 7039 Willow Creek Road, expressed concern about having 16 people plus staff in that house. He said he could not believe the Council would say yes to something like that. Redpath said that State licensing requirements take care of the 16 people; the City must concern itself with whether or not this is a single family or a multi-family use. I Golle asked if this site followed State guidelines. Willcox said it did. Thiesse said if licensing were not obtainable then fundina would not be either. Peterson said that because of the ambiguities and because of the function of the City Council to uphold the City's Ordinances, he would have to vote "no" on the appeal. Redpath said he would have to vote in favor based on the advice of City Attorney Pauly. MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, that the use of the structure has been established as a multi-residential non-conforming use and that the Statute relating to the 16 persons applies subject to the questions that are unanswered as to the changes that might have to be made in the structure by virtue of some further review by the Building Department and the Fire Marshal. Motion carried with Bentley i and Peterson voting "no." B. Resolution No. 85-35 oranting preliminaryapLroval for Municipal Industrial Development Bonds in t e amount of 1,700,000.00 for HBP Partnership ' Roberts Litho - formerly III. L. Steve Hoyt, 10601 Niblick Lane. partner in Hoyt Development, addressed the request. He noted the reason for requesting M1DBs was that the special assessments against this property were $25,000 per acre and by having lower interest rates the property was developable. Bentley said his questions were mainly with the procedure regarding j preliminary grading permits. q Redpath indicated he was not uncomfortable with this request. MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No. 85-35, granting preliminary approval for Municipal Industrial Development Bonds in the amount of $1,700,000.00 for HBP Partnership (Roberts Litho.) Motion carried unanimously. i r f City Council Minutes -15- January 2z, 1985 i IX. REPORTS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS There were no reports. X. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS & COMMISSIONS A.

Bentley - noted that a recent report by the Metropolitan Council requests that Highway 5 be eliminated from State status. He said this would probably revert to the County. Bentley expressed concern that there would be no improvements to TH5 should this happen and the level of maintenance would be lowered. B. Report of City Manager 1. Participation in Joint Comparable North Stud, (Resolution No. 85-36) City Manager Jullie reviewed the necessity for participating in a comparable worth study; the State has mandated that all public agencies complete a comparable worth study of all employee positions by October of this year. Jullie stated the City Manager's Association is proposing that cities join together in a common study to be completed by Control Data Business Advisors, Inc. This would provide uniformity between cities. The cost of the study to the City would be $8;310.00 Pidcock asked how many women were included in the study group. Jullie said the majority are women. Pidcock asked how many of those involved with Control Data Business Advisors were women. Pidcock referred to a publication put out by the State regarding comparable worth. Jullie noted that the reason for not using the Hay study is that Public Safety employees are not included in that and a large number of Eden Prairie's employees are in that department. Anderson noted that while it might be cheaper for the City to conduct its own study, the easiest and simplest way might not be the best way. Jullie said the Stanton Report which compares salaries in metropolitan l municipalities is now used by the City. He said the City was in need 1 of a study such as the one proposed by Control Data because the City does not have a true classification system in place. He noted that 18 firms had applied to conduct the area-wide study and that five of those firms had been interviewed. i City Council Minutes -16- January 22, 1985 Redpath asked if the City were to enter into this study, would size of City have a bearing. He noted that more responsibility �. is placed on each employee in a city the size of Eden Prairie than in larger cities. Pidcock stated she would like to have the City conduct its own study similar to that done by the State. Bentley said he was in total opposition to the concept of comparable worth; he would vote for the study because Statutes mandate it be done. MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No. 85-36, authorizing participation in the Control Data Business Advisors, J Inc. Joint Comparable Worth Study. Roll call vote: Anderson, Bentley, Redpath and Peterson voted "aye": Pidcock voted "no". Motion carried. C. Report of City Attorney There was no report. D. Report of Director of Community Services 1.

Request for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Office and Medium Density Residential to High Density Residential for 6.61 acres; Planned Unit Development District Review, with variances, on approximately 40 acres; Zoning District change from Rural to R11-2.5 on 6.61 acres; preliminary plat of 14.25 acres into two lots and one outlot for two 56-unit apartment buildings. Location: Gonyea 4th Addition, Outlot B. (Resolution No. 85-42 - Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment, Ordinance No. 2-II5-1-PUD-1-85 - Planned Unit Development District Review 3 and Zoning District Change from Rural to RM-2.5, and Resolution No. 85-39 - 4' preliminary plat) City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been published and property owners within the project vicinity had been notified. Dick Krier, Derrick Land Company, addressed the proposal. Also present was Will Montgomery, architect, Tushie-Montgomery Associates. Planning Director Enger stated this request had been reviewed by the !i Planning Commission at its meeting on January 14, 1985, at which time the Commission voted to recommend approval subject to the recommendations included in the January 11, 1985, Staff Report and with the provision that a pedestrian access across County Road 4 be provided. Enger stated there were no definite answers regarding the scheduling of improvements to Highway 5, lie also said the County has indicated County Road 4 will be improved at the same time the State schedules improvements for TH5. s i i �i City Council Minutes -3- February 5, 1985 Director of Community Services Lambert said this request had been reviewed by the Parks, Recreation a Natural Resources Commission at its meeting on February 4, 1985, at which time it voted to recommend approval subject to the recommendations included in the Planning Staff Report as amended by the Supplemental Report of January 31, 1985. Anderson asked if provisions had been made for recreational facilities for Senior Citizens in this building. Montgomery said they had been included. Pidcock asked the size of the facility. Montgomery said the room was approximately 30' x 30'. Bentley asked if the pond on the property has an outlet. Director of Public Works Dietz said it does and explained the drainage situation in that area. Bentley asked if the pond was adequately sedimented. Dietz said it was and that had been approved by both City Staff and the Water- shed District. Bentley asked if a traffic study had been done for this area. Krier explained what had been done in this regard; he noted the directional flow. Bentley asked if this intersection could handle the volume of traffic to be generated by this proposal. Enger said a 1980 study showed that traffic and storm water were two of the major issues in this area. He indicated that the traffic as proposed now is less than that which would have been generated by the earlier proposal which called for more commercial and office development on this site. Bentley said he has long agreed that this is a good site for elderly housing but said he has a concern about the transition aspect of what is proposed. He stated he would like to see some significant berming and screening if there is to be good transition. Redpath asked if doubles had been proposed. Enger said in 1980 duplexes had been discussed in the northern tier of this quadrant. Redpath said he felt that transition is sometimes carried too far and said that, in the case of duplexes, twice as many people are put into an area. Anderson said he felt the crossing of County Road 4 was a very important consideration. He also expressed concern about recreational facilities for Senior Citizens. Krier stated that it was the developer's hope to create �. a "life style" -- that besides the 900 sq. ft. room within the building, i a social service unit would attempt to involve all the residents and a social director would be employed. f Bentley said he recalled that last Fall Krier had appeared before the City Council with a very complex financing package for this project. Bentley asked if Krier was willing to make a commitment this evening for elderly housing without a financing package ready for this site. R Krier said if they were going to request the "50% pronram" he would have to say they would not made a commitment; but if they were to use another program, the answer would be yes. Bentley asked what the time- table was in regard to financing. Krier said they hoped to have that taken care of in the next month. Bentley asked if Krier would be willino to withhold 2nd Readinq of the Ordinance until the financing package had been before the City Council. Krier said he would be willing to do that. i 6 City Council Minutes -4- February 5, 1985 Redpath expressed concern about the handicapped parking and cited a recent incident in another apartment building where this had posed a problem for a handicapped resident. Pidcock asked what the timetable was for completion-of this building. Krier said they hoped to begin construction in late Spring with the building scheduled to be open in November` or December. Joe Lawler, 7621 Ontario Boulevard, expressed concern about the amount of traffic to be generated from this proposal. He said he would like to see both buildings as elderly housing as this would take some of the pressure off of the traffic. Leo Burton, 7662 Superior Terrace, said he would like to see a traffic study done in this area. He noted the number of commercial facilities in the area which are traffic generators. He said he was concerned about the fact that there were single family residences proposed for the area adjacent to the apartment buildings and wondered whether or not the pro- l ponent would be back to request rezoning for those lots in the near future. Jolene Burton, 7662 Superior Terrace, said she would hate to see a crisis created by this proposal. She said she has many questions regarding elderly housing. She indicated she would like to know the history of the zoning changes which have been requested for this site. Peterson asked if the City might be able to get an agreement from the County regarding signals at Wagner Way and County Road 4 prior to the improvements to CSAH 4. Dietz said that could be discussed with the County. Pidcock said she was concerned about the crosswalk and wondered if it would be possible to have an underground walkway under CSAH 4. Dietz said that would be possible. Burton said she felt a tunnel would not be good; crime would be a problem, f 1 Donald Sorensen, 7121 Willow Creek Road, wondered whether or not the developer would rent the underground parking spaces or would a space be provided for each unit, He noted that would made a difference as to how the spaces were used. Krier said the spaces would be rented. Pidcock asked about those residents who never drive, Krier said they would attempt to work something out with other elderly housing residences so perhaps a private transportation system could be developed. Lambert stated the Community Services Department is the place called when people don't have facilities and/or services provided for them, Krier said there is a need for more sharing of resources -- such as cars -- in a facility such as this, tr�r f City Council Minutes -5- February 5, 1985 Larry Schuster, 7666 Superior Terrace, asked if the pond behind the apartment buildings might not be an attractive nuisance for children living in the apartments. Lambert said there has never been a need to fence any ponds or lakes in the City and said he would recommend this policy be continued. Sorensen expressed concern about underground parking in the apartment building. He said it creates a security problem and this should be looked into. i Bentley noted the City has been looking at elderly housing needs for a number of years particularly in the area of CSAH 4 and TH 5. He p said the City has been banking CDBG funds for this purpose. He said IIII he was not certain how the financing which is yet to come before the Council will work; but, in terms of the City's planning and zoning, the questions have been answered. He said that tying this into the financing package would further mitigate his concerns. MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 85-42, amending the Comprehensive Guide Plan. Motion carried unanimously, MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to grant 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 2-85, rezoning. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt Resolution No. ,. 85-39, approving the preliminary plat of Prairie Village Apartments for Derrrick Land Company. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to direct Staff to prepare a Developer's Agreement per Commission and Staff recommendations and with the provision that 2nd Reading will not occur until the financing package is determined, there is a discussion with Public Safety regarding security questions, the handicapped parking issue is resolved, and the question of a crossing at CSAH 4 is resolved. Motion carried unanimously. B. EDEN PRAIRIE PUBLIC LIBRARY by Hennepin County. Request for Zoning District mendment within a Public Zoning District on 2.51 acres for the construction of a 10,000 square foot building. Location: southwest corner of Prairie Center Drive and Preserve Boulevard. (Ordinance No. 3-85 - rezoning within the Public District) City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been published and property owners within the project vicinity had been notified. 61')U City Council Minutes -6- February 5, 1985 Lyle Langstrom, Hennepin County Property Management, and Gretchen Wunderlich, Hennepin County Area Librarian, were present to address the request. Redpath said he would recommend the County be allowed to put in the sidewalk in stages. Langstrom said the sidewalks would be included as a bid alternate (an add alternate) when the bids for the Library are let. Peterson expressed concern about the timing of the sidewalks should money be unavailable at the onset of construction. Bentley said he would suggest that, as a part of the Developer's Agreement, a two- year period be allowed for construction of the sidewalks. Langstrom said he would like to have that as a viable option. Bentley asked where the sidewalk was going to go along Preserve Boulevard since the right-of-way has not been determined for the planned four-lane roadway. Director of Public Works Dietz stated a consultant is working on a feasibility report on that now. Dietz suggested that perhaps the City could offer the County the City's special assessment program. MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 3-85. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to direct Staff to prepare a Summary Resolution and work out a provision relative to sidewalks which will then be brought back to the City Council at the time of 2nd Reading. Motion carried unanimously. C. BERGIN AUTO BODY by James J. Bergin. Request for Site Plan Review within the District for one acre, with variances, to be reviewed by the Board of Appeals, and preliminary plat of 4.74 acres into three lots for an auto body repair shop. Location: north of Martin Drive, west of Corporate Way. (Ordinance No. 4-85 - rezoning within the I-2 Park Dis- trict and Resolution No. 85-40 - preliminary plat) City Manager Jullie indicated notice of this Public Hearing had been published and property owners within the project vicinity had been notified. Jim Bergin, proponent, addressed the request. Planning Director Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed this request at its meeting on January 14, 19859 at which time it voted to recommend approval and noted that a variance is required. The Planning Commission suggested that an outlot be created since there would be a lot for which there would be no use. This request was not reviewed by the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission. �'l l City Council Minutes -7- February 5, 1985 Redpath questionned the drainage in the area. Peterson asked if it would not be better to have the parking area in Travel rather than a 1 bituminous surface so there would be less run-off into the creek. Enger explained that there were a number of problems with gravel and j that bituminous surfacing is required by City Code. i Bentley questionned the setbacks. Enger stated no variances had been } requested; the variance request is for lot size. i Gary Berqren, Power Systems, asked for clarification as to what would be done with the remaining acreage. Bergin said that would be put into an outlot. Bentley said there was no proposal at this time for that property. MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to close the Public Hearing and to aive 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 4-85. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to adopt Resolution No. 85-409 approving the preliminary plat of Bergin Auto Body for James J. Bergin. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to direct Staff to prepare a Summary Resolution of Approval per Commission and Staff recommendations with the variance to be approved prior to 2nd Reading of the Ordinance. Motion carried unanimously. 1 0. ROBERTS LITHO by Hoyt Development. Request for Zoning District Change from Rural to I-2 Park on approximately 4.7 acres and preliminary plat r of 9.62 acres into one lot for the construction of a 42,500 square foot office/warehouse building. Location: south of Highway 5, west of Mitchell Road at Technology Drive (Ordinance No. 5-85 - rezoning from Rural to I-2 Park and Resolution No. 85-41 - preliminary plat) City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been published and property owners within the project vicinity had been notified. Brad Hoyt, developer, spoke to the request. Director of Planning Enger said the Planning Commission had reviewed this request at its meeting on January I4, 1985, at which time it voted to recommend approval subject to the recommendations included in the Staff Report dated January 11, 1985. Pidcock asked how far north of the Methodist Church was the location of the proposed building. Hoyt said he did not have the exact number of feet. Pidock asked if the evergreen trees would remain. Hoyt said they were on the church's property and would remain as screening. ��z City Council Minutes -8- February 5, 1985 Aq Redpath asked if Technology Drive would be extended from the west property line of the proposed to Wallace Road Director of Public Works Dietz said this would be an appropriate time to review that however it was a difficult process. There were no comments from the audience. MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the Public Hearing and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 5-85, rezoning for 4.62 acres from Rural to I-2 Park. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No. 85-41, approving the preliminary plat of Roberts Litho for Hoyt Develop- ment. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to direct Staff to prepare a Summary Resolution of Approval per Commission and Staff recommendations and with the following: there will be no administrative land division allowed on this site -- all divisions must go through the City Council; the developer must petition for the extension of Technology Drive through the property; and approval is contingent upon the developer accepting the special assessments for Technology Drive. Motion carried unanimously. E. Request for Housing Revenue Bonds in the amount of $11,000,000.00 for Tanager Creek Resolution No. 85-4B) City Manager Jullie indicated notice of this Public Hearing had been } published. Jullie noted that the currently approved site plan calls for a private road terminating in a cul-de-sac at the north end of the project and therefore there will be no connection to St. John's Drive to the north. He stated that should the proponents desire a chanoe in their site plan, they would have to come back to the Council for approval. Thomas Maplewood, Miller-Schroeder, and Dennis Govednik, Centurion/ Cheyenne Land Company, addressed the request. Redpath asked why the proponent was now proposing rental units rather units for sale. Govednik said the trend is towards rental units due to the unaffordability of for sale housing. Bentley asked how many rental units had been approved by the City Council during the past two years. Director of Planning Enger stated that there have been 1,000 units approved and built and another 1,000 units approved and not built. Bentley said he has seen reports based on information in this area which say that the rental market is glutted and the market is rapidly declining. Bentley asked if what is proposed could be considered a change in the site plan. Enqer said he felt it was; the original plan called for nine single family units and this plan calls for 60 single family units. G� City Council Minutes -9- February 5, 1985 Enger said there was some discussion as to which plan is being put forth with this request. Peterson said he felt there would be a significant revision if the 60 unit plan were under consideration. t Pidcock said she questioned the affordability issue regarding single family housing; she also had questions regarding the land lease program, i Anderson asked how long it would take for Staff to review this. Enger said about two weeks unless the plan is a different one and then it would have to go back through the Commissions. MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue action on this request to February 19, 1985, and to refer this back to Staff for its review; if Staff feels the revisions are significant, then it should go through the Commissions. Motion carried unanimously, j VI. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS NOS. 18324 - 18562 MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to approve the Payment of Claims Nos. 18324 - 18562. Roll call vote! Anderson, Bentley, Pidcock, Redpath and Peterson voted "aye," Motion carried unanimously. I VII. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS j There were none, ' s VIII: APPOINTMENTS { 1 A. lATointment of Ad Hoc Committee Members to Stud Referendum Issues for the City o en rairie Anderson expressed concern that there were a number of people on the j committee representing athletic interests. Bentley said he was concerned because there were not any "at large" residents. Lambert reviewed how committee members were selected and noted that he had not received any recommendations for other members of the committee, Anderson restated the motion he had made regarding the committee and called attention to the fact that this committee was to be "broad-based". Redpath noted that the School District has already stated its needs. MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Pidcock. to continue this item to the February 19, 1985, meeting of the City Council. Motion carried unanimously, j. IX. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS i There were none. i ! i i 6�q i City Council Minutes -10- February 5, 1985 X. REPORTS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS f There were no reports, XI. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS & COMMISSIONS A. Reports of Council Members Bentley - requested that Council members be kept informed as to what is happening in the opt-out process. Assistant to the City Manager Dawson stated that five opt-out proposals are presently being reviewed; the Council will be receiving this information in the very near future. Redpath - noted that a Cable Commission meeting had been held last Thurs- day. He indicated this issue will be on the Council Agenda at a future meeting. B. Report of City Manager 1. Proposed Employee Benefits Chances (continued from January 8, 1985) City Manager Jullie noted his memorandum of January 4, 1985, in which he addressed additions to the employee benefits package. The four additional categories were: 1) fitness program; 2) disability plan; 3) an increase in the City's contribution for family coverage of health insurance -- this portion of the package was approved by the Council earlier this year); and 4) work uniforms for maintenance personnel. Bentley said the only portion with which he had a problem was the fitness program. Redpath said he would like to see a slidino scale on uniforms; he cited his experiences with a uniform allowance and how after a period of time the amount of money needed when a program or an employee begins is no longer necessary. Judie said Staff is looking into leasing of clothing also. He said that he would suggest including Building inspectors in the uniforma program also. Peterson asked if employees in those departments would be required to wear uniforms. Jullie said they would be; an informal poll had been taken and all of them had said yes. Pidcock asked how this would compare to those programs in effect in private industry. Redpath noted that many employees are provided uniforms -- Coca Cola, Minnegasco; etc. 1 t �7� City Council Minutes -11- February 5, 1985 Bentley said he felt benefit programs are turning out to be very costly. He said this was one area he would take a careful look at should the City have to do some budget cutting in light of State and Federal cutbacks. The consensus of the Council was that the uniform program and the disability plan were acceptable, but the fitness program needed more discussion and refinement. Lambert explained that this was a fitness program and not a wellness program; this was to provide an incentive for employees to take ad- vantage of City facilities. Anderson noted this type of program is preventative in nature with the result being fewer sick days, lower rate of major health programs, etc. After further discussion of the fitness program it was determined that the portion which provided an employee with a free individual membership to the Community Center would be deleted as would the stop smoking treatment program. MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to approve the employees benefit program changes as outlined in City Manager Jullie's January 4, 1985, memorandum with the exception of items 1, a. and 1. d. Motion carried with Bentley voting "no" on the Fitness Program and Pidcock voting "no" on the motion. C. Report of City Attorney 1. Findings in connection with Welcome Home City Attorney Pauly stated that attorneys Donald Sorensen and John Koneck (attorneys representing Willow Creek residents) had requested this matter be continued to the next meeting of the City Council. MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to continue action on this item to the February 19, 1985, meeting of the City Council. Motion carried unanimously. XII. NEW BUSINESS A. Discussion of Invocation MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Redpath, to direct Staff to contact the Eden Prairie Ministerial Association to request a representative of that group to give an invocation before the City Council meeting once a month. I lO/l0 i City Council Minutes -12- February 5, 1985 Redpath noted that the Ministerial Association had been contact in 1967 and had agreed to have a minister give the invocation. When this "fell through" it then was done by Staff and later by Council members. Peterson said he was not in favor of asking the Ministerial Association to do'this. He said the point was whether or not this was an appropriate forum for the practice of religion. If the Ministerial Association were asked to do this, then representatives of other religious groups should be asked. He said he felt there was a difference between religion and politics and he felt it was inappropriate to foster religion in this forum. Pidcock said she was not asking to do anything more than what is done at the State and Federal levels of government. Redpath said those bodies have paid chaplains while they are in session, Bentley said the concept of an opening prayer at the first meeting of the year seemed appropriate to him; it did not have to be an on-going item on the Agenda. Anderson said he felt each Council member represented all types of people -- all races and religions -- the Council Meetings were not the time or place to practice religion. VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion was defeated with Anderson, Bentley, Redpath and Peterson voting .,no,.. XIII. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to adjourn the meeting at 11:32 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.

Frane, Cler CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 885-69 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF RED ROCK HEIGHTS FOR JERRY HALMRAST AND BILL GILK BE IT RESOLVED, by the Eden Prairie City Council as follows: 'That the preliminary plat of Red Rock Heights, for Jerry Halmrast and Bill Gilk, dated January 25, 1985, consisting of 33.9 acres into 50 single family lots and three outlots, a copy of which is on file at the City Hall, is found to be in conformance with the provisions of the Eden Prairie Zoning and Platting ordinances, and amendments thereto, and is herein approved. ADOPTED by the Eden Prairie City Council on the 19th day of March, 1985. Gary D. Peterson, Mayor ATTEST: John D. Frane, City Clerk 3 m T0: Mayor Peterson and City Council Members THROUGH: Carl J. Jullie, City Manager FROM: Eugene A. Dietz, Director of Public Works G� DATE: March 14, 1985 SUBJECT: RED ROCK HEIGHTS ADDITION The Council agenda for March 19th includes a public hearing for the Red Rock Heights Addition. Although most of the issues on this subdivision are straight forward, you will find it necessary to make a decision regarding the provisions for sanitary sewer and storm sewer. Prior to the application for this subdivision, this parcel was viewed as not having access to sewer and water, since the site cannot be served by the gravity system which is adjacent to the property. In fact, trunk sewer and water assessments have not been levied against this parcel in the past. Therefore, with any kind of connection to the water and sewer system, these assessments would necessarily be levied. The current rate is $2,720 per acre on the buildable portion of the property. The parcel contains approximately 34 acres, but only 23 acres of the site would be utilized for development purposes. The resulting trunk sewer and water assessments would be approximately $63,000. All properties in Eden Prairie pay trunk sewer and water assessments, but the owner was not aware of this fact until he submitted his application in early February. The trunk sewer and water assessments go y towards paying our costs for past and future investments we have in the trunk sewer and water system as well as the water treatment plant, wells and storage facilities. Since no gravity system is available for use by this project, it will be necessary to install a lift station to serve the development. A question then becomes one of providing for a permanent or a temporary lift station. As a rule, we do not allow lift stations during subdivision development because of the high cost of maintenance and the unreliable nature of adding a mechanical device into the system. Our first reaction to the proposal was that a redesign of the sanitary sewer system would be necessary to allow for a gravity system of the project to the northwest corner of the site. With proper planning, it would be possible to construct the lift station as a temporary facility, which could be abandoned when gravity sewer came along Eden Prairie Road from the south. However, the developer's engineer maintains that this would cost approximately $75,000 more to construct the system in this fashion. As an alternative to this extra expense, I have assembled information concerning the maintenance cost of a permanent lift station. My assumption was that once a housing project was constructed with a permanent lift station, forever would be at least 100 years. Over the course of 100 years, the City of Eden Prairie can expect to spend in excess of $650,000. This figure is based on maintenance, repair and rebuilding the lift station over that period of time. The main ingredient of the cost is the yearly maintenance and electrical costs which are estimated to be approximately $6,I30. Page 2, Red Rock Heights Addition 3114185 If the City of-Eden Prairie were to invest $65,000 today at 10% interest, the principal and the resultant interest income would be sufficient to pay the annual cost of the lift station forever. However, I believe that the City of t Eden Prairie could realize a savings of approximately $35,000 in extra costs ° to serve this subdivision .if it is not necessary to provide gravity service to the site. These savings would generally be in the depth of constructing the s Mitchell - Red Rock - Staring trunk sewer. Therefore, on the one hand, we have a cost of $65,000 to maintain the lift station, but a potential $35,000 savings if we allow it. I suggested to the developer that the City should receive a cash payment of $30,000 to cover these excess costs that we will incur. The other issue at question is the need to provide storm sewer for the drainage of the Middle School pond on the north side of Scenic Heights Road and a landlocked pond that lies partially within the boundary of this development. I have indicated to the developer that the City should pay a share of the cost to provide drainage for the Middle School pond, but that perhaps the cost to drain the pond that is partially on his property should be at his expense. I am advised by the developer's engineer that the cost to l drain the small pond will be high and that they don't feel that is a fair position for them to be in. In the past, subdivisions that had some "public benefit" kinds of improvements j that fell entirely within the proposed development have in fact been provided by the developer. However, perhaps the cost to provide storm sewer drainage from the small pond may be higher than some of those previous developer expenditures. I did advise the developer that a special assessment project could be considered for the drainage of this small pond, but that the project would surely be unpopular with the existing residents in the vicinity. i have not quoted any costs for storm sewer improvements for this project. At this time, my only information comes from the drainage plan that was prepared for the City in 1970. The specific needs, pipe size and other technical details have not been reviewed by my staff and therefore the actual extent of the cost is not certain. Uniess the developer chooses to provide the improvements at R his own expense, I would anticipate that you will be asked to consider a special assessment project if this subdivision is approved. I will be available at the Council meeting to discuss this issue further and to answer the questions that will arise from this memorandum. Although brief, this information is provided so that you may have an opportunity to consider 9 It prior to the meeting and to provide the developer with the staff's written position. cc: Jerry Halmrest William H.

The site is I- 79-04� bordered on the north by the School "PROPOSED SITE Administration Building, on the east jr,* by the future Scenic Heights West F, B 16-' subdivision (R1-9.5) and existing Red Rock Hills subdivision (R1- 13.5), and Red Rock Lake to the . 1 south and west. The site is characterized by sharply I rolling topography with a low point near the center of the site, and i <' _ flood plain to the south and west. o " Vegetation consists of a stand of f`; elms located in the low area, and lowland vegetation bordering the 76 flood plain. The site abuts two water bodies; an unclassified ponding area to the I,-Q 17-3 east, and Red Rock Lake. Red Rock I " _n" L_v \ S Lake is classified as a Recreational Development hater and provisions of I , .. ��� :1::•. �,: the Shoreland Ordinance apply. — A EA TL 0"'GOA AP Red Rock Heights 2 February 25, 1985 `P 'k y Site Plan Fifty R1-13.5 lots and three outlots, are proposed on 33.9 acres, for a gross density of 1.47 units per acre, and a net density of 2.21 units per acre, based on 22.6 acres of developable land. The average lot size is 16,340 square feet, with a maximum lot size of 26,250 square feet. The majority of lot frontages 80 to 95 feet in width. Lots 14 and 15, Block 2, do not meet the minimum lot size requirement of a 13,500 square feet. The preliminary plat should be revised to reflect the minimum lot size for the R1-13.5 District. Proponent has indicated that the east half of the site will be developed during 1985, with the west half to follow in the spring and summer of 1986. I Shoreland Ordinance The following provisions of the Shoreland Ordinance apply to all lots abutting Red Rock Lake, which has a the Normal Ordinary High Water Mark of 840.5 feet: Minimum lot size - 20,000 square feet Minimum lot width at building line - 120 feet Minimum lot width at Normal Ordinary High Water Mark - 120 feet Minimum setback from Normal Ordinary High Water Mark - 100 feet Lots 1, 2, and 4 through 17, Block 1, do not meet one or more of these requirements.

Staff feels that the variances may have merit due to the following reasons: Distance to actual water body is in excess of 300 feet; �`L(o Red Rock Heights 3 February 25, 1985 - House pads are elevated a minimum of 24 feet above the high water mark; - Average abutting lot size is 18,530 square feet, as compared to 19,400 square feet in Red Rock Hills; and, IIf - Densities of 1.47 units per acre gross, and 2.21 net, are consistent i with Guide Plan densities and surrounding densities. (Red Rock Hills - 2.05 du/acre, Scenic Heights - 2.5 du/acre). { Grading and Drainage I The majority of the grading is concentrated on road cuts and house pad locations. Additional grading work is proposed for some slope modification along the west and south portions of the site, with grades not to exceed 3/1. l Lot 11, Block 4, indicates proposed slopes at 2/1. Proponent should modify this 1 area to reflect a 3/1 maximum. All slopes in excess of 3/1 should be sodded. The ' ]ow point at the center of the site is proposed for 17 feet of fill for road i alignment purposes. The adjacent land owner to the south has given permission for grading of their property. All road grades conform to City standards. Grading limits should be established for tree preservation purposes along the west and south boundary of the subdivision to maintain an adequate buffer between the site and Red Rock Lake. Additional grading limits for tree protection should occur around the holding pond to the east. Proposed drainage of the site will be directed toward three basic areas. The west portion will drain toward the Red Rock Lake flood plain. The central portion will drain to a catch basin. From that point, run-off will flow through a storm sewer pipe to Red Rock Lake. The east portion of the site will utilize the holding pond. The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed drainage plan and recommends the following revisions: (See Attachment A) 1. Extend the storm sewer pipe in Street "B" north to Scenic Heights Road. 2. Provide a storm sewer pipe under Scenic Heights Road to the existing pond to the north. 3. Provide a storm sewer pipe connection to the pond to the east. 4. Provide additional catch basins where determined by the City Engineer. 5. Provide storm drainage easement around Outlot C, up to the High Water Mark of 850.2, and a 20-foot wide easement over the storm sewer connection between Outlot C and Street "B". Utilities Sewer and water service can be supplied to this site. The proposed sewer design Red Rock Heights 4 February 25, 1985 will drain, via gravity, to the southeast corner of the site, where it will be pumped by a permanent lift station to the existing sanitary sewer located in Village Woods Drive to the east. The proposed water system will loop from the existing 16-inch main in Village Woods Drive to the east, to the future Scenic Heights West subdivision. This main will also extend along Street " A" to its terminus at Scenic Heights Road. The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed sewer system and water service, and recommends the following: 1) The sanitary sewer system should be designed to flow north to connect to a future sewer line in Scenic Heights Road. 2) As an interim solution, a temporary lift station would be necessary to pump the flowage north to an existing sewer line, which serves Central Middle School. 3) The 16-inch water main should be extended from its terminus at the west access of Scenic Heights Road, westerly to the property limit. (See Attachment B) The Fire Marshall has also reviewed the proposed water system and has recommended .that the water main be looped from Street "B" to Street "D" for fire protection purposes. Parks and Open Space The Department of Natural Resources has classified Red Rock Lake, up to the Normal Ordinary High Water Mark, as public waters, consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan. Outlot A (10.3 acres) lies within this area and is basically marsh land in character and undevelopable. The proponent has indicated that this outlot will he dedicated to the City. The holding pond (Outlot C) will also be dedicated to the City, consistent with both the Scenic Heights West and Red Rock Hills subdivisions to the east. Pedestrian Systems The Director of Conrnunity Services has reviewed this proposal and indicates that there exists a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk along the north side of Village Woods Drive in the Red Rock Hills subdivision. The proponent should continue this five-foot wide sidewalk as depicted on Attachment C. Proponent should also extend the eight-foot wide bituminus trail along Scenic Heights Road to the west access as depicted on Attachment C. Access ) Staff has reviewed access points to the proposed subdivision based on a 30 m.p.h. design speed, and feels that the sight vision distance at both street intersections with Scenic Heights Road are adequate. Only Lots 1 and 2. Block 1, should be allowed access directly to Scenic Heights Road. All other lots should use only internal roads for access. Red Rock Heights 5 February 25, 1985 Highway 0212 Alignment The City's Comprehensive Guide Plan indicates alternative locations for the alignment of Highway #212. Attachment D shows the alignment preferred by the City, which would follow Highway #5 and the railroad tracks before extending out into the rural area. The other alignment (Attachment E) would follow Highway #5 for a shorter distance, turn in a southerly direction, cross Mitchell Road between Cooperative Power and CPT buildings, and align through the northwest corner of the proposed Red Rock Heights subdivision, crossing County Road #4 approximately one- quarter mile south of the railroad tracks. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff would recommend approval of the request for rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 for 22.6 acres, with variances to be reviewed by the Board of Appeals, and preliminary plat of 33.9 acres into 50 single family lots and three outlots subject to the following: 1. Prior to Council review, proponent shall: 3 A. Revise the preliminary plat to reflect a minimum lot size of 13,500 square feet for Lots 14 and 15, Block 2. B. Revise water service to include extention of main from west access of Scenic Heights Road to west property limit; revise water service to include water main looping from Street "B" to Street "D" (See Attachment B); revise sanitary sewer system to flow north to connect to a future sewer line in Scenic Heights Road, with a temporary lift station to pump flowage to an existing.sewer line, which serves Central Middle School; modify the stormwater run-off plan to extend the storm sewer pipe in Street "B" north to Scenic Heights Road; provide a storm sewer pipe under Scenic Heights Road to the existing pond to the north; provide a storm sewer pipe connection to the pond to the east; and, provide additional catch basins where determined by the City Engineer. C. Revise the preliminary plat to include a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk along the north side of Street "A" to extend to Scenic Heights Road; also, extend the eight-foot wide bituminus path to the west access, to Scenic Heights Road: (See Attachment C) D. Provide storm drainage easement around Outlot C, up to the High Water Mark of 850.2, and a 20-foot wide easement over the storm sewer connection between Outlot C and Street "B". E. Submit plans indicating the construction limits for grading, proposed location of snow fencing for preservation of existing vegetation along the west and South boundaries of the subdivision, and also the area around holding pond. 2. Prior to Final Plat, proponent shall: A. Provide detailed drainage and erosion control plans for review by the Watershed District and City Engineer, and provide detailed sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, and street plans, for Engineering Department review. G01 1 Red Rock Heights 6 February 25, 1985 B. Convey Outlots A and C, Red Rock Heights Addition, to the City, clear of any mortgages, liens, assessments, or encumbrances. 3. Prior to Building permit issuance, proponent shall: A. Pay the Cash Park Fee. B. Notify the City and Watershed District 48 hours in advance of grading. - C. Concurrent with street construction, construct a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk along the north side of Street "A" and extend the eight-foot wide bituminus path to the west access of Scenic Heights Road, as depicted on Attachment C. } — • ,..�/r, !.fit {p^J - Oa d„• • tom, .t 7�t PULS tt I � Mm 4m `�• ,µ,.,,1 , ' �i ,�1 1 r a' 1 ' \�•3 t •4 t i � a X� � �Cr _ } CAals a ��_ �:,�3 m oll —_ --.—•�— �, / r '' �'.�f�,�.`'` /it ���Yi Y...0[ - t4 3 II ID Al. i. f7Y +\ Yn ff CA t�E,f sl .^� 0 Ful, t7 JE -011 st)t +1Ett ( if 4 ', x p �;��4ji� , - - - --'t IEf c f'tl�tt1 1 s a a y -`t�t �= ��t ! r `�'-;•.; c 0v r�7 CD > p A ��;� �tr 1�� 1� (!r J `�—'r��Yf���•���•i,`�^'+ +:�=3 +!r' i!t° � � � i o ni � �• �, i �a ij '-'t t.

Director of Community Services DATE: February 28, 1985 SUBJECT: Supplementary Report to the February 25, 1985 Planning Staff Report for Red Rock Heights The February 25, 1985 Planning Staff Report addresses the natural resources concerns regarding the Shoreland Management Ordinance and the pedestrain system requirements. Tile purpose of this supplementary report is to consider in further detail the impact of this proposal on the proposed pedestrian system in this sector. There are three major interconnecting pedestrian routes within this area that ! will be affected by this plat: 1. SCENIC HEIGHTS TRAIL - When Scenic Heights trail was constructed i.n 1978, the main purpose was to provide a safe pedestrian access from the east to what was then the High School and is presently the Middle School. The trail from Mitchell Road westerly to the High School is on the south side of Scenic Heights Road, the trail crosses Scenic Heights Road just west of School Road and continues westerly along the school property to the intersection of Easy St. and Scenic Heights Road. The philosophy at that time was to desig- nate Easy St. as the continuation of the trail to County Road 4, as Easy St. had very little traffic. Since 1978, the City has observed bicylists, joggers and pedestrians using this trail system, and has noted that the majority of the traf- fic continues to follow Scenic Heights Road to the west rather than using Easy St. as the connection to County Road 4. The Community Services Staff recommend that the 8' asphalt bikeway be extended along the south side of Scenic Height Road through this development and be continued westerly along the south side of Scenic Heights Road as property between this site and County Road 4 develop. 2. VILLAGE WOODS DRIVE SIDEWALK - Village Woods Drive will eventually extend from Scenic Heights Road south and easterly to Mitchell Road. A 5' concrete sidewalk has been constructed along the north side of Village Moods Drive along all existing sections of that street. The Community Services staff recommend that this 5' concrete side- walk be extended from its existing location ,just west of Morraine Way, west and north to Scenic Heights Road. 3. RED ROCK LAKE TRAIL - The existing 6' asphalt trail along the north shore of Red Rock Lake will eventually be extended northerly, through the unplatted lot between Red Rock Hills Subdivision and this sub- division, and connect to the sidewalk pedestrain system along Village a Woods Drive. The Community Services staff have not recomnended i extending this 6' asphalt trail along the shoreline as the shore- line at the normal ordinary high water mark generally parallels the extended Village Wood Drive to the north and west into the marsh. If the trail followed this shoreline, it would have a marsh on the west and relatively shallow backyards to the. east. Staff does not feel the trail along the marsh would justify Ahe intrusion to these pri- vate properties and, therefore, recommends the trail system be ex- tended to the sidewalk along Village Woods Drive at this point. The Community Services staff recommend approval of Red Rock Heights as per the February 25, 1985 Planning Staff recommendations.

Chairman Bearman stated that he felt it was important to note that the i Medium Density Residential and Office land uses of the plan recommended to the City Council for approval (See Attachment to Planning Commission minutes of February 11, 1985) regarding the Comprehensive Guide Plan amendment proposed by Northrup King were the overriding concerns of the Commission.

Request for Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-13.5 for 22.6 acres and Preliminary Plat of 33.9 acres into 50 lots and three outlots. Location: South of Scenic Heights Road, east of County Road N4. A public hearing. Planning Commission Minutes 2 February 11, 1985 ) Mr. Ron Krueger, Krueger and Associates, representing the proponents, explained the proposed zoning and platting request and reviewed the site characteristics with the Commission. 3. Planner Franzen reviewed the findings and recommendations of the Staff Report dated February 22, 1985, explaining the concerns of the Staff in . analysis of the proposal, in particular with respect to utilities and Shoreland Management regulations. Torjesen asked if the future alignment of Highway #212 had been considered in the planning of this subdivision. Staff responded that the two alternative alignments for Highway #212 had been reviewed with respect to this project. One of the alignments would cut through the northwest corner of this project; the other would align further northwest of this project and would not interfere with the project. Torjesen asked if this was the property which had been represented in the past as two, or three, large horse farms. Staff responded that it was; however, this representation had been made by the developer of the property f to the east with respect to the question of connection of the streets between these two properties. Gartner expressed concern regarding the houses which were proposed to be located closer to the Normal Ordinary High Water Mark than allowed by the i Shoreland Management Ordinance requirements. She stated that Red Rock Lake supported a unique wildlife habitat, and asked if the encroachment of the homes into the designated setback area would be detrimental to this habitat. Staff reviewed the variances being requested by proponent with respect to the Shoreland Management Ordinance requirements. There were three being requested by the proponents, including: 1) Variance from the requirement for lots to be a minimum of 20,000 sq. ft.--most met the requirement, but the average lot size was 18,500 sq. ft. for those abutting the lake; 2) Variance from the requirement for the lots to be 120 ft. wide--most met the requirement, but some did not as proposed; and, 3) Variance from the requirement for the structures to be located at least 100 ft. from the Normal Ordinary High Water Mark=-a few of the lots in the southeast portion i of the project did not meet this requirement. Staff pointed out that, even though the lots in the southeast portion of the property would have the structures closer to the Normal Ordinary High Water Mark, these lots were located at an elevation approximately 24 ft. higher than the shoreland for Red Rock Lake. Hallett asked if the impact of such things as fertilizer washing into the lake would be greater if there were more lots in the plat. Chairman 8earman responded that he did not feel this would have a significant impact. He stated that there would be about the same amount of lawn to be fertilized whether there was one house on one acre of lawn, or three houses on one acre of lawn. Chairman Bearman added that he felt the situation involving the setback for the structures from the Normal Ordinary High Water Mark was mitigated by the fact that the lots would be so much higher in elevation than the shoreland in the southeast portion of the property. Other Commissioners concurred. '100 Planning Commission Minutes 3. February 11, 1985 Chairman Bearman asked if an Environmental Assessment Worksheet had been prepared for this property. Staff responded that it was not required. Torjesen asked if the proposed development was in conformance with the Red Rock Sector Study, which had been prepared by the City several years ago. Staff responded that it was in conformance with the Comprehensive Guide Plan, which superceded the Red Rock Sector Study. Schuck asked what the price range of the units would be. Mr. Krueger responded that the range would be $120,000-200,000. Chairman Bearman asked for comments and questions from members of the audience. There were none. MOTION 1: Motion was made by Schuck, seconded by Gartner, to close the public hearing.

The matter was heard by the Board of Appeals & Adjustments 1 on October 'll, 1984, and on November 8, 1984, which denied the request. Applicant appealed the denial to the Council. , Subsequently, Applicant modified its proposal by reducing the number of persons who would inhabit the facility, from eighteen to sixteen. Accordingly, Applicant no longer seeks a variance as requested in its application, but seeks a determination that the use of the property is that of a "multi-family residential use . . . for purposes of zoning" as those terms are used in MS §462.357, Subd. 8, and MS §245.812, Subd. 4. The matter was first considered by the Council at its meeting on January 22, 1985. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 1. The property at 7170 Flying Cloud Drive is legally described in Exhibit "A," attached hereto and made a part hereof.. The property consists of .93 acres and contains improvements consisting of a house and a detached garage. 2. The property is situated in the Rural district. City Code Scction 11..10 authorizes the use of land situated in the Rural district (in addition to other uses not perti- nent) for single-family detached dwellings and accessory structures without platting on parcels of not less than ten acres (five or more acres as of July 6, 1982). The five- acre minimum size requirement for single-family dwellings in the Rural district was first adopted by the City by the adoption of Ordinance 135 on October 14, 1969. 3. Chapter 11 of the City Code, as did its predecessor, Ordinance No. 135, contains a provision authorizing the con- tinuation of non-conforming uses. Code Section 11.02 defines a non-conforming use as a "Use of a building or of land that does not conform to the regulations as to use for the district in which it is situated." Section 11.75 provides that a use j lawfully occupying a structure or site on the effective date of the section, that does not conform with the use regulations or the site area per dwelling unit regulations for the district in which the use is located, shall be deemed a non-conforming use and may be continued. 4. The property is presently being used for residential dwelling purposes. Applicant claims that the property is currently and has, since and prior to the adoption of Ordi- nance 135 on October 14, 1969, and continuously thereafter, been used as a multiple family dwelling; and further claims that pursuant to MS 5462.357, Subd. 8, and MS 9245.812, ubd. 4, a licensed residential facility serving from seven to sixteen persons must be considered a permitted multi- family residential use of property for purposes of zoning, -2- fi ')ID that the proposed use of the property will be as a licensed residential facility and, therefore, is authorized by Subd. 4 and 8.' 5. City Code Section 11.02 defines a multiple dwelling as "[a] building designed for or occupied by two or more families," and family as "[ojne or more persons related by blood, marriage or adoption . . . or a group of not more than five persons . . . some or all.of whom are not related by blood, marriage or adoption, living together and main- 1 taining a common household ." 6. The evidence bearing on the question of whether the property is currently and has, since and prior to October 1969, been used as a multiple family dwelling includes the following. a. An Affidavit of Illah M. Sutton, dated January 14, 1985, indicating that she and her husband lived in a then-duplex unit of the property from 1948 through 1979, purchased it in 1958 and sold it, in 1979, to the present owner, Donald Hanson. She states that from 1948 through 1979, the property was used and operated as a multiple family dwelling with two dwelling units. b. An Affidavit of Donald Manson, dated January 10, 1985, stating that, he is now, and since Decem- ber 1, 1979, has been, the owner of the property, ( and that the structure has been a multiple dwelling throughout the time he has owned it. -3- c. An inspection report of Steve Durham, a member of the City Staff, dated December 18, 1984, and a memorandum of Mr. Durham, dated January 8, 1985, to which are attached diagrams showing configurations of the premises as it existed prior to 1969 and currently. The inspection d report and diagrams indicate that the house was constructed 90-100 years ago. The present con- figuration shows there are three kitchens and three bathrooms in the structure, constituting three living units. The structure has two entrances and two stairwells. The diagram of the premises as it existed prior to 1969 reveals the same two separate entrances, two bathrooms, and two kitchens in a configuration constituting two separate living units. The principal dif- ferences in the two configurations are that in the current configuration, the northerly portion of the first floor of the premises, which was shown as a storeroom prior to 1969, now is shown to contain a living room, bathroom, and kitchen, as well as laundry facilities. 7. Based upon the foregoing evidence, it is found that the property at 7170 Flying Cloud Drive, Eden Prairie, Minnesota, is presently and, since and prior to 1969, has -4- been used as a multiple dwelling and constitutes a non- conforming use as a duplex multiple dwelling, and as such, the use of the property is as a "multi-family residential use . . . for purposes of zoning" as those terms are used in MS §462.357, Subd. 8, and MS §245.812, Subd. 4, and that the provisions thereof apply, subject to the following: a. Because it is not known at this time the extent of any remodeling which may be required for the purposes of the use of the premises as proposed by Applicant, no conclusion is reached as to whether such remodeling would constitute an unlawful enlargement of -the present non-conforming use.. b. The proposed use of the premises as a licensed residential facility is subject to the Applicant's receipt of an appropriate license from state authorities as contemplated by MS §462.357, Subd. 8, and MS §245.812, Subd. 4. -5- " 7170 HIBIT That part of the Northwest Y of the 15Orthwcst of Section 12, Township 11G, Range 22, Hennepin County, ).inncsota described as •follows:. • 'Commencing at a point: in the Vest:erly line of State Comment' No. tGa distant 153.D feet Northeasterly from the South line of the Northwest �u��roontointhe Northwest Quarter; thence i4csterly to a p ,center line of old Eden Prairie Road distant 2D4_0 feet 1:orthwesterly from the South fine of the taorth- w ' t Quarter. of the Northwest Quarter; thence North- westerly along said center inlii the Jesterlyeline of ce Southc�sterly to a point hioh„ay distant 191.0 feet Northeasterly from ' beginning; thence Southwesterly to:beginning. said right ight of way being as follows: ?he location , The Last ten (10) feet of. the above described property together with a .ttheorary ras. t cons (50)tructio feet'Ofethent o above er� undex and acro• described property. _ : TO: Mayor & Council FROM: John Frane DATE: March 14, 1985 RE: The City's 1985 MIDB allocation of $9,300,000 and the request for MIDB'S by HBP Partnership (Roberts Lttho) - $1,700,000.

S�rJ7 f RESOLUTION GIVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO A PROJECT UNDER THE MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL INDUS- TRIAL DEVELOPMENT ACT, REFERRING THE PROPOSAL TO THE MINNESOTA ENERGY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOP- MENT AUTHORITY FOR APPROVAL AND AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. HE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota (the "City"), as fol- lows: 1. It is hereby found, determined and declared as follows: 1.1. The welfare of the State of Minnesota (the "State") requires active promotion, attraction, encour- agement and development of economically sound industry and commerce through governmental acts to prevent, so far as possible, emergence of blighted lands and areas of chronic unemployment, and it is the policy of the i State to facilitate and encourage action by local gov- ernment units to prevent the economic deterioration of such areas to the point where the process can be re- versed only by total redevelopment through the use of local, state and federal funds derived from taxation, with the attendant necessity of relocating displaced persons and of duplicating public services in other areas. 1.2. Technological change has caused a shift to a significant degree in the area of opportunity for edu- cated youth to processing, transporting, marketing, service and other industries, and unless existing and related industries are retained and new industries are developed to use the available resources of the City, a large part of the existing investment of the community and of the State as a whole in educational and public service facilities will be lost, and the movement of talented, educated personnel of mature age to areas where their services may be effectively used and com- pensated and the lessening attraction of persons and businesses from other areas for purposes of industry, commerce and tourism will deprive the City and the State of the economic and human resources needed as a base for providing governmental services and facilities for the remaining population. 1.3. The increase in the amount and cost of govern- mental services requires the need for more intensive development and use of land to provide an adequate tax base to finance these costs. s: 1.4. HBP Limited Partnership, a Minnesota limited partnership to be formed (the "Company"), has advised the Council that it desires to undertake a project which consists of a 42,000 square foot office and warehouse building (the "Project"), to be located on the west side of Technology Drive two blocks west of Mitchell Road in the City. 1.5. The .existence of the Project in the City will contribute to more intensive development and use of land, thereby increasing the tax base and employment opportunities in the City. 1.6. The City has been advised by the Company that j conventional, commercial financing to pay the capital cost of the Project is available at such costs of bor- rowing that the Project would not be economically feasi- ble and would not be undertaken but for the availability of industrial development bond financing therefor. 1.7. This Council has been advised by Dougherty, Dawkins, Strand & Yost Incorporated of the financial feasability of the Project, as so undertaken with the p assistance of the City, or of its intention to purchase commercial or industrial revenue obligations of the City tt to finance the Project. 1.8. The City is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 474, to issue its revenue bonds, notes or other obligations to finance the cost, in whole or in part, of the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, improve- ment, betterment or extension of capital projects con- sisting of properties used and useful in connection with i a revenue producing enterprise, including the Project, and the issuance of such obligations by the City would be a substantial inducement to the Company to construct d its facility in the City. 1.9. The City has been advised by O'Connor & Hannan, Minneapolis, Minnesota, who shall act as bond counsel to the City with respect to the Project, that the Project constitutes a "project" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 474. 2. On the basis of information given the City to date, ' it appears that it would be in the best interest of the City # to issue its obligations (the "Bonds") under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 474, to finance the Project j in an amount presently estimated not to exceed $1,700,000. 2 - 7�� -71 ii 3. The Project and the related financing thereof by the City are hereby given preliminary approval, and the issuance of the Bonds for such purpose and in such estimated amount is hereby approved, subject to approval of the Proj- ect by the Minnesota Energy and Economic Development Author- g ity (the "Authority") and to the mutual agreement of the Council, the Company and the initial purchasers of the Bonds as to the details and provision for payment of the Bonds. 41 In all events, it is understood, however, that the Bonds shall not constitute a debt of the City or a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of the City except its interest in the Project, and each of the Bonds when, as and if issued shall recite in substance that it is payable solely from the revenues received from the Project and property pledged to the payment 4. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 474.01, Subdivision 7a, the Mayor is hereby authorized and directed to submit the proposal for the Project to the Au- thority for approval. The Mayor and other officers, em- ployees and agents of the City are hereby authorized to provide the Authority with any preliminary information needed for this purpose and are further authorized to initi- ate and assist in the preparation of such documents as may be appropriate to the Project and the financing thereof. 5. The Company has agreed to pay directly or through the City any and all costs incurred by the City in connec- I. tion with the Project whether or not the Project is approved i. by the Authority; whether or not the Project is carried to completion; and whether or not the Bonds or operative in- struments are executed. 6. The City is an entitlement issuer within the meaning of Minnesota Laws 1984, Chapter 582 (the "Act") with a 1985 entitlement allocation of $9,239,314, all of which remains available for allocation as of the date hereof. The City, subject to the provisions of paragraph 7 hereof, hereby gives the Project an allocation of $1,700,000 from its entitlement allocation; provided, however, that if the closing on the issuance and sale of the Bonds has not occurred prior to August 1, 1985, such allocation shall be withdrawn unless such deadline is extended by resolution of the City. 7. The adoption of this resolution does not constitute a guarantee or a firm commitment that the City will issue the Bonds as requested by the Company. The City retains the right in its sole discretion to withdraw from participation and accordingly not to issue the Bonds, or issue the Bonds in an amount less than the amount referred to in Paragraph 2 hereof, should the City at any time prior to the issuance 3 - i thereof determine that it is in the best interest of the City not to issue the Bonds, or issue the Bonds in an amount less than the amount referred to in Paragraph 2 hereof, or should the parties to the transaction be unable to reach agreements as to the terms and conditions of any of the document's required for the transaction. 8. All commitments of the City expressed herein are j subject to the condition that the City and the Company shall have agreed to mutually acceptable terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, the Bonds, and of the other instruments and proceedings relating to the Bonds and that the closing of the issuance and sale of the Bonds shall have occurred by not later than December 31, 1985. If the events set forth herein do not take place within the time set forth above, or any extension thereof, and the Bonds are not sold within such time, this resolution shall expire and be of no further effect. A4eGN Adopted by the Eden Prairie City Council on FebTverr 19, 1985. Gary D. Peterson, Mayor ATTESTED: SEAL John D. Franc, City Clerk Ii 4 4 - t9 Memorandum To: City Manager, Carl J. Jullie From: City Assessor, Steve Sinell Subject: Board of Review Advisors Date: Feb. 4. 1985 The purpose of the board of review is to review the assessment and to see that all taxable property has been placed on the tax roll and properly valued by the assessor. On application of any person feeling aggrieved, the board shall review the valuation, and change or affirm the value as appears correct. In previous years the City of Eden Prairie Board of Review has largely depended on the recommendations of the city assessor and their own knowledge of real estate values in determining the correct value of the appealed valuations and class- ifications. The composition of the Board'of Review as defined in Minnesota statutes is the city council, unless the city council elects to appoint a special board of review and delegate all of the powers and duties of the board of review. The City of Minnetonka has for a number of years been retaining the powers and duties of the board of review, but has been appointing a panel of advisors to review the properties in question and make their recommendations to the board of review. The positive aspect of this arrangement is that most property owners who appeal their valuations to the board have already discussed the valuation with the city assessor and assessing staff and do not agree with the value. Having a panel of advisors review the properties and making recommendations to the board has the aspect of a knowledgeable third person considering the value and lending an additional professional opinion to assist the board in its decision. The advisors used in Minnetonka are appointed by the city council and must be knowledgeable in real estate values and be a resident of the city. They are considered volunteer advisors and are paid a small amount per meeting and per day to help defray their expenses. The advisors attend the initial board of review and then with assistance from the city assessor review all properties in question and report back to the board for a decision. i f �av
