City Council Minutes -3- February 19, 1985
IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Bluffs West Vicinity Storm Sewer Feasibility Report, I.C. 52-069
(Resolution No. 85-60)
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been
published and copies of the feasibility report were mailed to each
property owner listed on the assessment roll.
Director of Public Works Dietz addressed the feasibility report.
He noted that Staff had met with the Hustads to discuss the report
and they indicated a willingness to accept a larger share of the
project costs based upon what their costs would be if they construc-
ted a permanent drainage system to serve their remaining undeveloped
properties, including the developed lots which they sold and which
lay within the drainage assessment area per recommended Alternate 3.
The Hustads indicated they would be asking for one or two additional
lots in the Bluffs West 5th Addition to pay for the drainage improve-
ments. Dietz said the Council might wish to consider ordering Alternate
3 based upon Hustad's cost sharing commitment and spreadina the balance
of the project costs against the remaining drainage area benefitted.
Another consideration might be to defer until development, with interest
not to exceed 50% of the principal, the cost to other undeveloped prop-
erties. Dietz called attention to the fact that all final commitments
on •the special assessment spread must be considered at the Special
Assessment Hearing for the project which would occur at a later time
when the project costs have been finalized.
There was discussion by the Council as to the cost per acre of the
improvements. Jullie said the cost was $2750 per acre and noted the
assessment would be spread over 17 years.
Ellen Koshenina, 10541 Riverview Drive, said she did not feel the
Laseskis and the Brandts should have to pay for any of this since
there were no problems until the Hustads came up with this proposal
for development. Dietz said if the Laseskis or the Brandts choose
not to develop their properties they would only have to pay the one-
half acre rate; the remainder of the assessment would not have to be
paid until development occurred.
Kate Laseski, Riverview Road, asked for clarification regarding the
deferrment procedure.
Gregory Fontaine, Dorsey & Whitney, attorney representing Eliza
Anderson and Kate Mooers, spoke in support of Alternate #3; he wished
to go on record as preserving his clients' rights for an Environmental
Impact Statement or Environmental Assessment Worksheet should it be
found that his clients' property was adversely affected if Alternate
#3 was not chosen.
'14k-
City Council Minutes -4- February 19, 1985
Dr. Henry E. Brandt, 12300 Riverview, said it seemed to him that whatever
is done in the Bluffs West 5th Addition, he would think the Brandts and
the Laseskis would be able to develop their properties without coming
back before the Council. Bentley said any development proposals must
come before the City Council. Brandt said he felt what was being done
by this proposal was setting a precedent and would be forcing development.
Dennis Laufenburger, 11800 Riverview Road, asked what is happening to
the storm water at this time. Dietz explained the storm water run-off
using a map.
Bill Ballantyne, 11908 Pendleton Court, inquired as to the location of
a specific pipe.
Brian Keegan, 10515 Riverview Drive, said he does not see how this is
going to help those living south and east of Riverview Road where the
real problems seem to be. Laufenburger stated the solution should have
been a final one; he felt additional work would have to be done later
on.
Steven Boots, 11909 Pendleton Court, said he felt that if it were not
for the new subdivision there would not be a need for more storm sewers
and consequently there would not be a special assessment. He asked
how this would be accomplished. Dietz explained there would be a
plastic pipe put in 3' deep. This would be done along the easement
along the rear lot lines of homes. Dietz noted that restoration of
yards is included in the plan.
Koshenina said there are problems in the Spring with run-off; she cited
the erosion problems which result. Redpath said the reason the City
Council was looking at this particular alternative was to alleviate
that problem. Bentley asked if this proposal had to be reviewed by
the Watershed District and the DNR. Dietz said the Watershed District
would have to review it; it had not been determined whether or not the
DNR would have to review the proposal. Dietz said there would be some
leaching of the run-off into the River. He stated that it was felt this
proposal provides the best solution with the least number of adverse
factors.
Sally Brown, 10080 Bennett Place, reviewed the history of the water
problems in this sector of the City. Brown said that as long as the
City was so accommodating to the developer, problems such as this would
not be resolved. Redpath said that was why this study had been requested
by the Council in December; the Council is trying to eliminate a problem
such as Brown has on her property.
Keegan said he did not see how his property would be helped by this
project.

request.
City Council Minutes -6- February 19, 1985
Director of Planning Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed
this request at its meetings on July 9, 1984, July 23, 1984, August 13,
1984, and August 27, 1984. This item had been reviewed by the City
Council at its meetings on September 4, 1984, and December 11, 1984;
it was continued to tonight's agenda to allow time for the storm sewer
proposal. At its meeting on August 27, 1984, the Planning Commission
recommended approval for 29 single family lots in the Bluffs West 5th
Addition based on plans revised from the 31 lots which had been requested.
Director of Community Services Lambert stated the Parks, Recreation &
Natural Resources Commission had reviewed this request at its meeting
in August at which time it voted to recommend approval with the addition
of an 8 asphalt bikeway.
Redpath asked for the rationale of reducing the number of lots from 31
to 29. Enger said the Planning Commission was concerned about providing
a transition to the area of larger homes south of Riverview Drive. Ander-
son asked about the significance of having lot lines line up across the
street from each other. Redpath said he felt that could be carried too
far. Enger said the Plannino Commission was concerned about lot lines
as well as the 22.5 zoning.
Gayle Diehl, 10530 West Riverview Drive, said she would like to see about
26 lots allowed in the area to be developed.
Dr. James Diehl, 10530 West Riverview Drive, said there was no transition
on his side of Riverview. He said he felt the whole area was being cheapened
and those who had paid premiums for their lots were not going to be penalized.
He said the proposal was an insult to the current residents.
Ellen Koshenina, 10451 Riverview Drive, said more houses are proposed for
this area than were built in the Orin Thompson area to the north. She said
the feasibility report showed 27 lots. Dietz said Staff had used 28 lots
and that has no bearing on the number proposed by the developer.
Bentley expressed concern about the transition on the west side of River-
view Drive. He felt the lots had relatively small frontages compared to
those adjacent lots to the south. Enger said the Planning Commission had
not devoted much time to this particular area as its concern was with
the area directly across the street from the lots on the south. Enger
said he felt it was appropriate to review the lot sizes on the west.
There was some discussion as to the interpretation of transition,
Bentley said he felt the question before the Council was whether or
not 13.5 zoninn is appropriate on this site. He said he felt 13.5 is
appropriate in this area since it is just south of an area which is
zoned 13.5. He suggested that two or three lots be deleted from the area
west of Riverview so those lots would be more compatible with the adjacent
lots.
T/,
City Council Minutes -7- February 19, 1985
Pidcock asked about the price range of the homes proposed. Hustad
said The Bluffs Company is only a development company and would not
do the building; the lots would be priced in the $30,000 range probably.
Redpath asked what the cost of the lots would be if two were removed
on the west. Hustad said $40,000.
Koshenina said she would like to see the area south of Riverview zoned
22.5. She indicated she favored 27 or 28 lots.
Gayle Diehl said the lot frontages on the west side could be increased
by removing only one lot.
Redpath noted that the reason why half-acre lots are no longer feasible
is the cost of City sewer and water.
Anderson said he would be agreeable to a 29 lot plan with the removal
of one lot on the west side and adjusting the other lot sizes in that
area. Hustad said if the proposal were dropped to 28 lots, this would
not be built. Anderson said he was attempting to work out a compromise.
Bentley said it was not good planning to put a 70' frontage next to
one with 150'; this would not be an appropriate transition. He did not
think that just lot depth or width should be a matter of consideration;
these should be considered together.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the Public Hearing
and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 106-84, rezoning. Motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt Resolution No. 84-215,
preliminary plat approval, for 29 lots (with the removal of one lot from
the south and one from the west and adjusting the boundaries accordingly.)
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to direct Staff to prepare
a Developer's Agreement per Commission and Staff recommendations. Motion
carried unanimously.
C. Request for Housing Revenue Bonds in the amount of $11,000,000.00 for
Tanager Creek (Resolution No. 85-48) - Continued Public Hearing from
February 5, 1985
City Manager Jullie stated the proponents have withdrawn their request
at this time because the Planning Staff had determined the proponent's
current development plans are not in conformance with the rezoning approval.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public Hearing
and to table Resolution No. 85-48 at the request of the proponent. Motion
carried unanimously.

the City.

VIII. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Request from Reuter, Inc. for discussion on allocation of City's refuse
Doug Reuter, representing Reuter, Inc., was present to discuss his
request that the City consider support of a proposed contract where-
by refuse would be directed to Reuter, Inc,'s proposed processing plant
in Hopkins. City Manager Jullie noted a letter which he and Mayor Peter-
son had directed to the Metropolitan Council indicating a request for
additional time to appropriately study and consider the matter. The
Recycling Advisory Committee did consider this issue at its meeting
on February 13, 1985, and advised that it merited further consideration.
Reuter reviewed the process which is being proposed by Reuter, Inc.
Peterson said he had many questions but felt the Council could make a
statement in support of the process being preferrable to burning. He
did not think a carefully worded letter would be a detriment to the City.
Anderson said he felt the concept was something which the City has been
looking at for a long time,
City Attorney Pauly said the letter should not contain a commitment on
the part of the City.
Redpath said he would support a letter in support of the concept,
Don Brauer, consultant, addressed the merits of the nroposal.
There was discussion regarding as to how the letter should be worded
so to provide the City with an adequate disclaimer.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson, to direct Staff to draft a
letter in support of Reuter, Inc.'s proposal taking into consideration
the concerns expressed by the Council and Staff this evening. Motion
carried unanimously.
B. Request from Development Commission for lofint meeting with the City Council
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath; to hold a joint meeting of
the Development Commission and City Council at 6 p,m, on Tuesday, April
16, 1985, prior to the regular meeting of the City Council; the meeting
will be held in the School Administration Building, 8100 School Road.

questions posed to him relative to statutes pertaining to this issue.
Bentley asked if the Council would consider the possibility of City

Pauly said the ultimate responsibility for this would lie with the City
Attorney but he would be willing to consider input from the others
involved,

TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1985
COUNCIL MEMBERS:
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS:
The Joint Meeting was called to order by School Board Chairman Dave Anderson who
noted the meeting was instigated by Mayor Peterson.
Three items for discussion were agreed upon. They were: cooperative agreements,
the Comprehensive Municipal Guide Plan, and future facility needs.
Council member Anderson related that administrators who viewed the school/park facilities
in Eden Prairie in the early 1980's stated they were among the finest in the nation.
City Manager Jullie indicated he and Business Coordinator Gamin had discussed the interest
on the part of the School District for installing radios in special education school
buses which travel downtown each day. As a result, an antenna is need and discussions
have been underway so this might be accomplished. The City of Bloomington is involved
as the antenna will probably have to be located in that City.
The Guide Plan process was updated by City Manager Jullie.
The consensus of the School Board and the Council was that further meetings should be
held with the next one focusing on future facility needs. It was noted the City has
recently appointed an ad hoc committee to study the City's needs and it was hoped
that the needs of the School District could be combined with these so a realistic
picture can be presented to the residents of the community.
There was some discussion regarding a City-wide forum-type meeting which might be
scheduled for Fall. Superintendent McCoy noted that October 7, 1985, has been
tentatively selected as the date for a school referendum.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:25 p.m.

PTan Amendment from Sports Center, Low Density Residential and High Density
Residential to Regional Commercial, Office, Industrial, and Multiple Resi-
dential, for 189+/- acres. Location: west of Highway 169 at Anderson Lakes
Parkway. (Resolution No. 85-53 - approving Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment)
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been published
and property owners within the project vicinity had been notified. Jullie
also noted the Planning Commission has recommended approval based on Alternativo
#3 of the Planning Staff Report dated January 22, 1985, and subject to addition -A
amendments and additions as detailed on page 7 of the February 11, 1985, Plan-
ning Commission Minutes.
Edward Roessler, Northrup King, reviewed the background of the project. He
also read a letter from Northrup King to Mayor Wolfgang Penzel dated July
18, 1984, regarding the construction of Anderson Lakes Parkway. He also
noted a letter dated December 7, 1984, to the Mayor and City Council regarding
the impact of the construction of Anderson Lakes Parkway on the sale of this
property,

City Council Minutes -3- March 5, 1985
Dick Putnam, Tandem Corporation, addressed the request. Also present
were Dick Putnam, Tandem Corporation, and Mitch Wonson, Benshoof and
Associates. Wonson addressed the traffic concerns.
Director of Planning Enqer stated this request had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at several meetings; he reviewed the proposals which
had been considered by the Planning Commission. Enger noted that an in-
dustrial proposal had been recommended for denial by the Commission and
the request was subsequently withdrawn (action taken at the November 13,
1984, meeting of the Planning Commission.) The Commission meeting held
February 11, 1985, was a combination of information gathering and exploration
of what might be best for the site. At that meeting, the Commission indi-
cated it felt strongly that the plan shown by the proponent was not good
for the City, The Planning Commission recommended office use along TH 169
with a combination of medium and low density housing along Purgatory Creek.
Enger explained that the Commission did not wish to deny the proponents'
plan but rather wanted to make a recommendation as to what it wanted on
this site, Enger called attention to a memo dated March 5, 1985, from
Planning Staff to the City Council. Enger stated the Planning Commission
had voted to recommend approval of a Comprehensive Guide Plan change at
its meeting on February 11, 1985, as per alternative #3 as amended. He
said the Commission would like to have a design framework manual for
this area to further control office and commercial development. Enger
stated the Planning Commission does want to see office zoning in this
area and not office/service, office/warehouse, etc. The Commission would
also like to see the City maintain a great deal of control regarding the
development in this area.
Director of Community Services Lambert indicated the Parks, Recreation &
Natural Resources Commission had reviewed this request at its meeting on
December 17, 1984, at which time two points were raised: 1) the sports
complex designation on the Guide Plan in the area north of the Vocational
Technical Institute should be removed; and 2) the City should request dedi-
cation of the west side of Purgatory Creek with the east side being pro-
tected via a scenic easement. Lambert noted the proponent had agreed to
that. Lambert stated the March 4, 1985, meeting of the Commission had been
cancelled due to the snow storm; the Commission had intended to look at
this plan in more detail at that time.
Redpath said he had always looked upon this property as being divided into
thirds by usage; he said he felt alternate #3 accomplished that.
Anderson said he felt this was a very visible piece of property. He noted
that this was very visible from the Staring Lake Park Shelter; what the
residents of Eden Prairie have to look at becomes very important. Ander-
son asked if it would be possible for the City to acquire both sides of
the Creek; he said he felt it would be in the best interests of the City
to do so. Lambert said there is a need for cash park fees to build parks
in this area and rather than the fees, the City might have to accept the
property instead via a density transfer or as a gift. Lambert also said
he would not encourage use of the sides of the Creek because of the steep-
ness of the slope. He said the recommended dedication and scenic easement
appeared to be the best alternative.
7,09
City Council Minutes -4- March 5, 1985
Peterson asked Putnam if a compromise could have been reached with the
Planning Commission. Putnam said that Northrup King will do what the City
Council determines is best. Putnam indicated they did not agree with the
alternatives presented by the Commission; they felt the City Council would
come up with something they would find acceptable.
Bentley asked what the basis was for not approving high density residential
on the northern-most portion of the site, Enger indicated the Planning
Commission felt it wanted to see more of a spread in the density, Bentley
said he would like to see the northeastern portion of the site locked-in
to pure office. He said he felt the commercial site as indicated would
be compatible with that planned for the area across TH 169. Bentley
said the area south of Anderson Lakes Parkway has areas in which the
densities are scaled down; he said he did not know if low density
would be appropriate in that area. Bentley expressed concern regarding
the industrial use and how it is transitioned; he felt there should be a
transition zone further to the west.
Dave Bowers, 15800 Valley View Road, said there seems to be a lot of land
already set aside in Eden Prairie for offices which have not been built.
He said there is a need for hotels and restuarants which would support
the residential community which is already here and which would be used
by those passing through the City. Bentley noted there is land designated
regional commercial in the Major Center Area which will eventually be
developed as restaurants and hotels.
There was discussion as to the alternatives before the Council and what
the ramifications of each would be. Anderson said he was open to suggestions
however he did not wish to see a mixture of uses on this site, Bentley
said he felt the property should be dealt with in one piece as far as the
change in the Guide Plan was concerned, Bentley said he would like to see
this request continued. Redpath said he would rather not see an industrial
area included; he called attention to the fact this is a concept. Pidcock
asked how many residential units were included. Putnam said there would
be between 750 and 900 units which was quite close to the plan proposed
by the Planning Commission.
Enger reviewed the relationship between the need for housing and the
number of jobs created by types of uses based on industrial, commercial,
etc. and the impact this has on a community. Bentley said he did not feel
Eden Prairie could be looked at as an island unto itself," Enger said,
according to a recent study undertaken by the Planning Staff, the total
population for Eden Prairie will be 70,000 and this will be reached by
2025.
Bentley said he did not feel what the Planning Commission had requested
and what the proponent is requesting are very different; a compromise
should be able to be realized,
City Council Minutes -5- March 5, 1985
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue action on
this item to the March 19, 1985, Meeting of the City Council. Motion
carried unanimously.
B. FEASIBILITY REPORT, VALLEY VIEW ROAD IMPROVEMENTS BETWEEN MITCHELL ROAD
AND CSAH 4, 177 51-272 (Resolution No, 85-72)
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been
published and property owners listed on the preliminary assessment
roll had been notified,
Director of Public Works Dietz addressed the report,
Redpath asked if the City had explored with the railroad company some
way to get the railroad to go alona with the construction of the bypass.
Dietz said the railroad company will not contribute to the bridge with-
out legal action on the part of the City; it claims this is a City problem.
Redpath noted that over the years the residents of the Kings Forest area
have expressed their displeasure with Valley View Road and he wondered if
they might be included in the assessment area. Dietz said this had been
looked into: the direct benefit would be hard to prove for these residents.
Redpath asked as to how this project will be coordinated with the plans
for TH 5 and the Crosstown since both of those project will be underway
soon. Dietz said a shoe-fly would be built to act as a bypass for the
train traffic which now uses graffiti bridge.
Peterson asked what provisions will be made for pedestrian traffic.
Dietz said there will be an 8' hikeway/bikeway on one side of the road
and a 5' concrete sidewalk on the other side.
Pidcock said she would like to see the assessment area enlarged; she
felt it would be of benefit to the whole area. Anderson raised the
same point. City Attorney Pauly stated that the City can only assess
those benefitted -- the special benefit goes to the property. The test
of the assessment is based on the market value before and after the
improvement. Pauly said, from a practical point of view, the area-wide
approach is not valid,
Redpath said there is no question but that the road must be fixed. He
said he thought the issues with the railroad company should be explored
further.
Samuel H. Hertogs, attorney representing Edenvale Golf Club, said they
would like to have an underpass so that golfers/carts can have safe access
to the clubhouse from the back-nine holes of the golf course. He also
indicated the Golf Club would like to be hooked up to City's sanitary
sewer system. Hertogs noted the problem facing the owners with the water
in the Creek. He said they would eventually like to have a restaurant
in the existing clubhouse; this would necessitate staying open year round.
City Council Minutes -6- March 5, 1985
Dietz said the cost of a double underpass would be about $120,000. He
said Staff and the Public Safety Department have concerns regarding
vandalism and crime in underpasses. This could be mitigated be installing
gates at each end of the underpass. Dietz said the sanitary sewer ques-
tion will be looked into as to availability. He noted that the flooding
of the golf course was planned as temporary holding ponds.
David Seig, 7353 Franklin Circle, expressed concern about the 5 side-
walk shown on the north side of Valley View Road. If this were to be
built, it would remove a row of lilacs which are on his property and
provide screening from Valley View Road. He asked how many Valley View
Road residents had requested this improvement.Seig said the bikers do
not use the present asphalt path which is on the south side of Valley
View Road. He said he does not want to see these improvements voted in.
David Bowers, 15800 Valley View Road, said thy assessments are less than
he thought they would be. He said he did not foP1 that Valley View Road
should be improved before the improvements are made to TH 5 because this
will turn Valley View Road into a major thoroughfare while TH 5 is under
improvement. He said he felt the City's timing was wrong in this case.
Bentley said that issued had been discussed at length by the Council at
various times. Bentley said the State keeps delaying the time schedule
for the TH 5 improvements; since the City has no jurisdiction over the
time schedule for State projects, it must take care of its own system
which is what this will do. Dietz said the State has been changing the
time lines on TH 5; this year the State will let bids for redoing the
surface -- there is something scheduled for TH 5 from now until 1990.
Fred Hoisington, representing the Chamber of Commerce Transportation
Committee, said that in 1984 the Chamber of Commerce's Board asked the
Transportation Committee to look at the City's roadway system and its impact
on businesses and residences. The Committee ended up with two major recom-
mendations: 1) Valley View Road should be upgraded prior to work beginning
on TH 5; this will be needed by the residents of the community and 2) Home-
ward Hills Road should be constructed prior to work being done on TH 169.
Hoisington said the Transportation Committee was in support of Staff's
position and recommended that the improvements to Valley View Road be
undertaken as proposed.
Steve Cherne, 6930 Raven Court, asked who owns graffiti bridge. Dietz
said it was built in 1900. While it has not been determined who technically
owns the bridge, Dietz said he felt the City could claim ownership. Cherne
asked if the Valley View improvements would be phased, Dietz said it is
recommended that they be done at one time. Cherne expressed concern about
emergency vehicles having access to the area during the time Valley View
Road would have to be closed. Dietz explained there will be an access
road connecting Edenvale Boulevard to the western portion of Valley View
Road; the portion of Valley View Road which would be closed entirely would
be that east of Edenvale Boulevard to roughly Fairway Drive and would not
affect any residential driveways.
City Council Minutes -7- March 5. 1985
Ken Sien, 7400 Ontario Bouevard, said once Valley View Road improvements
are made and TH 5 is closed for repairs, metro traffic control will indicate
Valley View Road as a good alternative.
Kay Schumacher, Eden Land Sales, said the closing of Valley View Road
will be something of a hardship for them as they are developing land on
either side of the bridge.
Allan Weyhrauch, 16002 Valley View Road, said he did not feel the widen-
ing of Valley View Road would do anything for the value of his home. He
wondered if the Postal Service would consider moving the mailboxes to the
other side of Valley View Road because he did not want to have to cross a
busy street to get his mail.
Dave Thompson, 16101 Valley View Road, asked if the grade of Valley View
Road would be changed, Dietz said the grade would be flattened from
8% to 7%. Thompson asked why a standard residential street width was
not proposed. Dietz said the City has developed a transportation network
and Valley View Road has been designated a collector street which necessitates
a wider roadway. Thompson asked why the residents should have to pay for
something which was only going to be detrimental. Dietz explained how
the street system is laid out and pointed out that the City can rely on
the State to provide us with local collector streets. Thompson said he
would like to know where the City right-of-way is so that shrubbery in
his yard might be replanted prior to the beginning of construction.
Deb Wargin, 7400 Bittersweet, had a question regarding the width of
the sidewalk and the roadway in relation to her property,
Janet Sieg, 7353 Franklin Circle, asked if it was necessary to have a
sidewalk on the north side of the street. Peterson said the sidewalk
would not generate pedestrians but would accommodate them. Bentley asked
why the sidewalk is being proposed. Dietz noted there have been some
serious pedestrian accidents in this area, Bentley asked what would
happen to the overall plan if a sidewalk were not put in. Anderson said
he felt safe access should be provided from this area to Round Lake Park
as well as the other community facilities west of County Road 4. He
said he felt the Council should be responsible for providing what is
best for the citizens of Eden Prairie.
Bowers asked if there would be a boulevard between the sidewalk and the
curb. Dietz said there would be wherever possible as this provides room
for snow storage; he also noted that a 6' area is too small to support
boulevard trees.
Bernard Neumann, 15917 Valley View Road, asked what would happen to the
bike paths which are now along Valley View Road. Dietz said they would
be removed and replaced as a part of this project.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public Hearing
and to adopt Resolution No, 85-72, ordering the improvements and prepara-
tion of plans and specifications for I.C. 51-272, Valley View Road improve-
ments between Mitchell Road and CSAH 4. Motion carried unanimously.

X. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS & COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Council Members
Bentley - noted he had received calls after the last snowstorm from
residents expressing concern about the fact that the snowplows went
through neighborhoods twice which meant residents had to shovel their
driveways twice. He suggested the width of the snowplows be looked
into so that a wider swath could be plowed the first time.
Peterson - reviewed the status of the landfill permit process. He
noted the permit is now before the Pollution Control Agency and it
appears as though it will be granted. Peterson said Representative
Sidney Pauly and Senator Don Storm are introducing legislation which
will require any expansion of the Flying Cloud Landfill to go through
the certificate of need process. Peterson noted that Metropolitan
Council Representative John Harrington had said the Metropolitan Council
is not prepared to handle the process (certificate of need.) Peterson
also said that he had met with Stan Johannes, a resident of the area
adjacent to the landfill, who expressed a desire to have the concerns
of the neighbors addressed. City Manager Jullie indicated a study of
the leachate protection system will be required and that a liner will be
installed. Anderson said he would like the City to conduct a check of
what is being dumped at the landfill. Bentley said BFI has said it
closely monitors what is dumped because they are ultimately liable.
There was discussion as to what the City's role should be in monitoring
what is disposed of at the landfill, The consensus was that the City
Attorney would check into what is the City's responsibility.

1. Proposed Changes in the Fitness Program for Employees
City Manager Jullie said legitimate questions had been raised duri

i
s
-
trating the previously discussed employee fitness program. Jullie
stated Staff would like to restructure the program to eliminate th
e
one-half hour of release time twice per week for employees using t
h
e
facilities at the Community Center. Instead, Staff would consider
and would poll employees about using the Community Center during
non-work periods twice a week. This would allow more flexibility
for employees and would not create an administrative problem.
Recreation Superintendent Pappas was present to answer questions.
The consensus was that this be explored and brought back to the
Council when Staff has something in final form.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Redpath, to direct Staff to
study the situation further and to report back to the City Council
at an appropriate time. Motion carried unanimously.

There was no report.

Quit Claim Deed for Independent Millwork Site
Request for this item is that the City of Eden Prairie would execute a Quit
Claim Deed for the easterly 3 feet of Lot 1, Block 1 Flying Cloud Center.
This location is at the northwest corner of Prairie Center Drive and 78th
Street (north of Eden Prairie Center).
Apparently some flaw in the title was detected, which indicates that the City
of Eden Prairie has some interest in the easterly 3 feet of this lot. In fact
we do have easements covering a portion of this lot, but the Quit Claim Deed
would be subject to those easements as recorded.
The request appears to be in order and I would recommend that the Council
authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the Quit Claim Deed.

To: Eugene A. Dietz, P.E.
Director of Public Works
City of Eden Prairie
From: David M. Warner, P.E.
Nancy J. Heuer, P.E.
Be: Preserve Boulevard - Projected Daily Traffic Volumes
This memorandum presents an alternative method for projecting
daily traffic volumes on Preserve Boulevard, as a check against
the projections presented in the "Prairie Center Drive/ County
Road 18 Traffic Stujy". The projections represent conditions
of ultimate development.
Traffic volumes on Preserve Boulevard are expected to be Generated
locally. The area which will contribute trips to Preserve
Boulevard lies between Trunk Highway 169 on the west and County
Road 18 on the east, and between Prairie Center Drive on the north
and Riverview Road on the south. This area includes the Olympic
Hills Golf Club, Neil Lake, Purgatory Creek flood plain, and the
Flying Cloud Landfill. The remainder of the study area was assumed
to be primarily single-family units.
The area was assumed to contain 4975 single-family dwelling units
generating 10 trips per day per dwelling unit (49,750 trips per
day), and 075 multiple-family residential dwelling units
Generating 5 trips per day per dwelling unit (7875 trips per day).
The projected number of trips generated in the study area is
57,625 trips per day.
Seventy-five percent of the generated trips are expected to be
oriented to the north of the study area. Seventy-five percent
of the total generated trips yields 43,200 trips to be distributed
between Trunk Highway 169, County Road 18 and Preserve Boulevard.

Page 2
The condition of County Road 18 is expected to affect traffic
volumes on Preserve Boulevard. If County Road 18 remains a
two-lane roadway, it is expected that 20 to 25 percent of the
north-south oriented trips will be distributed to Preserve
Boulevard, and the remaining trips to Trunk Highway 169 and
County Road 18. This results in a daily traffic volume on
Preserve Boulevard between 8600 and 10,800 vehicles per day.
The upgrading of County Road 18 to a four-lane facility is
expected to reduce the number of trips on Preserve Boulevard.
A total of 10 to 15 percent of the north-south oriented trips
are expected to utilize Preserve Boulevard under these conditions,
and the daily traffic volume is projected to be between 4300 and
6500 vehicles per day.

Background
The Comprehensive Guide Plan depicts
Office use for this site. The 1.93-
acre site is part of Primetech Phase
I, a six-acre portion of a 20-acre
Planned Unit Development. Phase I
was approved by the City Council in
February, 1984, based on 65 per cent
office, and 35 per cent
office/warehouse use. At that time,
59,000 square feet of
office/research and development in
four single story buildings were
approved, with an overall Floor Area
Ratio of 0.23. Three buildings were
zoned Office; the fourth building,
for a proposed tenant named Lectech,
was zoned 1-2 Park. Lectech was
proposed as a 30,000 square foot
medical research and development
firm, of which 20,000 square feet
was for assembly, warehousing,
shipping, and receiving.
The proponent is requesting approval
of a Zoning District Change from 1-2
Park to Office within Phase 1 for
construction of a two-story office
building on the Lectech site.

proposed at 893.0 with existing surrounding elevations of 895.3 for the
research/development building and 892.5 for the Skamp building.
Utilities
Sewer and water services are available to this site by connection to a six-inch
water main and a six-inch sanitary sewer main installed during earlier Phase I
construction.
Landscaping
The proponent has submitted a landscape plan that reflects slight changes from the
approved plan. These changes deal with landscaping of additional site coverage
remaining from the Lechtech site. The plan demonstrates generous plant material
sizes that will enhance an addition of a two-story structure. Most of the bordering
landscape is currently in place.
Pedestrian System
The approved plan for Phase I incorporated a pedestrian system, which tied each
individual building into a sidewalk system for the overall City West Planned Unit
Development. Sidewalks should be extended to the proposed office building as
depicted on Attachment A. A five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is proposed along the
south and east parking lot. The site plan should be revised to widen these
sidewalks to seven feet to accommodate car front-end encroachment. (See Attachment
A)
Signage and Lighting
Signage for the building was not submitted with the proposal, although the proponent
states that all signage will be in conformance with the signage package previously
approved and implemented. All anticipated site lighting is currently in place.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff would recommend approval of a Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment on 20
acres, Planned Unit Development District Amendment on six acres, and Zoning District
Change from 1-2 Park to Office on 1.93 acres, subject to the following:
1. Prior to Council review, proponent shall:
A. Modify the site plan to include additional sections of sidewalk as
illustrated on Attachment A. Modify the site plan to reflect seven-
foot wide sidewalks as indicated on Attachment A.
2. Prior to Building permit issuance, proponent shall:
A. Pay the appropriate Cash Park Fee.
B. Receive approval of grading and drainage plans from the Watershed
District.
C. Provide sewer, water, and drainage plans for review by the City
Engineer.

Primetech Office Building 4 March 22, 1985
D. Notify the City and the Watershed District 48 hours prior to any

CONTRACT FOR PUBLIC, EDUCATIONAL AND GOVERNMENTAL
ACCESS FACILITIES and CONTRACT FOR PUBLIC, EDUCATIONAL AND
GOVERNMENTAL ACCESS SERVICES
Wednesday 10 April 1985
Because Rogers Cablesystems-Southwest is suffering cash flow problems and local programming
does not generate income for the company, Rogers would like to stop funding public access
altogether by bringing their local programming budget to 80.00.
The Commission objects to this abandonment of support, and, in order to insure that local
programming is preserved, the Commission, at its 31 January 1985 meeting, directed staff to
negotiate with Rogers the exact terms and conditions of the attached
• CONTRACT FOR PUBLIC, EDUCATIONAL AND GOVERNMENTAL ACCESS FACILITIES and
• CONTRACT FOR PUBLIC, EDUCATIONAL AND GOVERNMENTAL ACCESS SERVICES.
CONTRACT FOR PUBLIC, EDUCATIONAL AND GOVERNMENTAL ACCESS FACILITIES
This contract requires both Rogers-Southwest and Rogers-Minneapolis to provide some support for
local programming. The emphasis is toward supporting public, educational and governmental
access programming. Leased access and local origination programming (programming done by
Rogers) is de-emphasized. Support from Rogers-Minneapolis is only to cover costs ol services
provided to the Minneapolis cable system by Southwest personnel and equipment.
SOUTHWEST SUBURBAN CABLE COMMISSION
MEMORANDUM: CONTRACT FOR PUBLIC, EDUCATIONAL AND GOVERNMENTAL ACCESS
FACILITIES and CONTRACT FOR PUBLIC, EDUCATIONAL AND GOVERNMENTAL ACCESS
SERVICES
Wednesday 10 April 1985
The terms of this contract require Rogers to provide staff, equipment and other resources to
maintain two fully functional studios, one in Eden Prairie and one in Edina. five editing systems
Including special effects generators, wave form monitors, rwitchers, time base correctors and
other equipment presently provided for editing, five Porta-Packs with lights and other equipment
presently provided for field production, and a production van.
In short, all equipment presently dedicated to public access would be retained. Two studios
would close temporarily—those in Hopkins and Richfield. Discussions with Hennepin County
Library officials indicate that the Library is increasing its use of the the Minnetonka studio
located at Ridgedale, meaning progressively less time will be available for public access use. The
Minnetonka studio, owned by Hennepin County would permanently close in one year.
Rogers would spend approximately one percent (1%) or their gross revenues to meet the terms of
this contract. Presently Rogers dedicates about five and one half percent (5-1127.) of their gross
revenues to local programming.
The term of this contract is the same as that for the RELIEF ORDINANCE as stated in Sections 6
and 7.
CONTRACT FOR PUBLIC, EDUCATIONAL AND GOVERNMENTAL ACCESS SERVICES
This contract requires Rogers to continue to provide three access coordinators and one educational
consultant until the end of Rogers 1986 fiscal year. 31 August 1986. At that time the
Commission shall have reviewed and approved a new local programming plan that may lead to
Rogers continuing to provide access coordinators or the transfer of that role to another qualified
organization.
This contract requires the cities to reimburse Rogers for costs associated with the provision of
access coordinators and an educational consultant including administrative overhead directly
related to the activities of the access coordinators and educational consultant. This
reimbursement will approximately equal °nee( the three present franchise fees retained by the
cities.
BOTH CONTRACTS
Both contracts contain enforcement provisions to insure performance by Rogers. Among these
provisions are liquidated damages requirements that would allow the cities to obtain services lost
due to Rogers' nonperformance.
If both contracts are adopted, the following resources would be available to access users in the

To respond to this concern, the Commission directed staff to hold a series of public meetings to
collect information about other local programming organizations, plans and operations, and, to
present for Commission review and approval:
• a draft Request For Proposals (REP) for access coordinator services;
• a draft comprehensive plan for local programming activities in the Southwest; and.
• a recommendation as to the structure of the Southwest local programming administrative
entity—a not-for-profit corporation or another structure.
PUBLIC COMMENT
The Commission's Negotiating Committee directed staff to hold a public meeting to present the
draft revised local programming commitments and to receive comments from the public. This
meeting was held at Edina City Hall on 26 December 1984.
These are suggestions made by participants of this public meeting:
• Provisions must be made to allow for the hiring of additional staff should needs arise. One way
to accomplish this is to create another trigger mechanism--If a one week backlog for equipment
use or maintenance develops and remains for one month, appropriate staff shall be added to
alleviate the backlog.
• All equipment presently dedicated to public access should remain so. This equipment should
not be sold or disposed of without prior approval from the Commission. If such equipment is sold,
the proceeds should be used to supplement the public access effort. Such proceeds should not be
used to offset Rogers contribution to local programming. II this equipment is not liquidated. It
should be maintained and made available to access users.
• The hours of operation for the studios should be based upon use reports so that the studios are
available to as many people as possible.
• The Commission should explore contracting with entities, other than Rogers, to provide access
coordinator services.
• The Hennepin County television studio at the Hennepin County Library near Ridgedale in
Minnetonka should be maintained as an access facility with an access coordinator assigned to this
studio on an as-needed basis. Discussions with Library officials indicate that the Library will be
Increasing their use of the this studio, meaning less and less time will be available for public
access use. Because a review of access facilities indicates a need for two studios, the Commission
may wish to consider retaining three studios at this time--those in Eden Prairie. Minnetonka and
Edina.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Chairman Wayne Courtney
Members of Southwest Suburban Cable Commission
Ralph Campbell, Administrator
FROM: Adrian E. Herbst, Attorney
DATE: April 11, 1985
RE: Summary of Documents Delivered to Cities
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a brief
background and explanation of the various documents being deli-
vered to the Cities for review and action by them.
Over the past several weeks the attorneys for the Member
Cities have met to deal with the format of the various documents
and to finalize the language that will be necessary for each
Member City.
A number of different documents are involved in taking action
on the request of Rogers Cable Company to have the Cities in the
Southwest suburban franchise provide the relief requested. The
documents and a brief explanation are as follows:
1. Amendment Ordinance. This Ordinance will permanently
amend each franchise of each Member City if adopted by that City.
The purpose of this Ordinance is to deal with matters that
require permanent amendment.
The name of the company has changed since the franchise was
granted, as has the Southwest Commission. Therefore those defi-
nitions will be dealt with.
The Southwest Commission recommended that action be taken at
this time to extend the term of the franchise as an incentive for
Rogers to obtain the necessary refinancing. The refinancing or
change in financing is thought to be by the financial consultant
hired by the Commission the most important long term requirement
to improve the cash flow situation of the cable company. This
amendment includes safeguards to ensure that such an extension is
not effective unless all of the appropriate legal requirements
are followed including any requirements of the state cable board
or the Federal Communications Commission.
The last area of change relates to modification of certain
provisions included in the existing franchises with regard to
insurance. Subsequent to the granting of the initial franchise
-1-
7:1 I
the cable company was unable to provide all of the insurance in
complete conformance with the language existing in the franchise.
It has been the position of several of the City Attorneys that
the language with regard to insurance should conform to what can
actually be provided by the cable company and that is what would
be accomplished in this permanent amendment to the franchise.
2. The Relief Ordinance. The Relief Ordinance is intended
to provide the authority for the relief requested by Rogers Cable
Company. The Relief Ordinance does not permanently amend the
existing franchise. The Relief Ordinance includes certain
background and purpose information that will satisfy findings
necessary to grant the requested relief.
The relief that is being provided includes a reduction in
franchise fees that were payable during the past year and those
that will become due and payable during the term of the Relief
Ordinance. Basically, the reduction is from a five percent (5%)
franchise fee to a three percent (3%) franchise fee.
The second item that is provided for by way of relief relates
to a modification of the responsibility and financial support
with regard to public, educational and governmental access.
The local programming commitment of the cable company and its
financial obligation to provide for that commitment is reduced.
The cable company's obligation to provide local programming sup-
port is in an amount up to one percent (I%) of its gross reve-
nues. A similar obligation exists on the part of the Cities.
The third area of change in the Relief Ordinance relates to
the letters of credit and performance bonds. These are items
that cost the cable company money to maintain. It has been
recommended by the Commission that at least with regard to the per-
formance bond that that expense not be maintained by the company
unless later determined that it is needed.
The Relief Ordinance includes a number of provisions with
regard to the automatic termination of the relief granted. The
termination provisions are intended to provide an incentive for
the company to obtain new financing and there is basically a
thirty (30) month time period within which to obtain new
financing otherwise the Relief Ordinance terminates. In no event
will the Relief Ordinance extend beyond March 1, 1992, unless
further approved. Further, the termination clause contains a
cumulative gross revenue amount which if achieved earlier than
that time could result in an earlier termination. This amount
was recommended by the financial consultant hired by the
Commission and is in accordance with his projections and studies
regarding this cable system.
3. Performance Agreement. The Performance Agreement also
-2-
includes two separate contracts. Those are attached as exhibits.
The Performance Agreement is intended to deal with a number of
concerns that the Commission had to grapple with in terms of the
performance of the cable company on an ongoing basis. The
problem of dealing with a request for relief is whether or not a
similar request would be made next year or the following year
because the company did not turn around and deal with the
problems that brought about the cause for the request for relief.
The Performance Agreement includes specific monitoring of the
cable company by way of ongoing reporting so that the Cities as
well as the Commission can more effectively monitor the perfor-
mance of the company and see whether or not it is meeting the
necessary financial requirements to place itself in a better eco-
nomic condition. In reviewing those matters, the City and
Commission will have the benefit of the financial consultant's
report which contains projections and information that will pro-
vide benchmarks or guidelines.
The Performance Agreement deals with the matter of the local
programming and the two contracts attached will provide a
detailed explanation as to the manner of performance and how the
Cities, the Commission and the cable company will participate on
an ongoing basis during the term of the Relief Ordinance to
assure that, although the financial support has been reduced, the
performance of the local programming obligation will be met and
done in the best fashion possible.
The Performance Agreement also contains a provision to
establish a group to deal with the Institutional Network. An
Institutional Network, although proposed by the cable company,
has not yet been developed in the Southwest. In order to make
this a reality, there needs to be participation in the community
that will demonstrate a desire to use it, to pay for its use and
to make it happen. Whether or not the business community and the
Institutions will have a need, desire or willingness to support
an institutional network is something that must be dealt with
before further action can be taken on what to do with regard to
the proposed institutional network. If, in fact, there is not a
need for it or a desire to support it, the Cities as well as the
Commission want to know that before deciding final action since
It may not make sense to impose the burden of paying for such a
system on the cable company if that support does not exist.
There is a provision in the Performance Agreement to deal
with providing cable service in new areas that are developing.
This was a matter of concern particularly to those communities
that had many undeveloped areas. Further, the Performance
Agreement provides that this responsibility shall not be reduced
by any further cutbacks that the cable company might desire to
make. Specifically, before the company would even propose such
further cutback it would have to reduce first any management fees
that the parent company receives from the system.
-3-
7 2
Lastly, the Performance Agreement provides for a business
plan to be prepared by the cable company so that the Cities are
not placed in the position of having to make its management deci-
sions. However, the Cities would have the authority, under this
Performance Agreement, to require a management efficiency study
should that become necessary.
In summary, the Performance Agreement is comprehensive but is
intended to place the burden on the cable company of taking
responsibility for its financial condition and doing something
about it.

AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO CABLE
TELEVISION SERVICE, PROVIDING FOR
MODIFICATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS
OF THE CITY'S CABLE COMMUNICATIONS
ORDINANCE
THE CITY OF DOES ORDAIN:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This ordinance shall be known as the "CATV Relief Ordinance."
SECTION 2. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE.
The City has granted a cable television franchise through
the adoption of city ordinance code sections
the Cable Communications Ordinance (hereinafter called the
("Franchise"). The cities of
and (the "Other Cities 's ) have
adopted similar ordinances, all with the same franchise Grantee.
Through the Southwest Suburban Cable Commission ("SWSCC"), a
joint powers organization, the City and the Other Cities have
undertaken to supervise Grantee's compliance with these ordinances.
Since the adoption of the Franchise Grantee has constructed and
is operating a cable communications system in City and the Other
Cities. Grantee has approached the City indicating that it is
experiencing serious financial difficulties and would be unable
to pay the franchise fee due and payable on November 1, 1984.
Grantee requested a temporary reduction of its Franchise
obligations to allow for its financial recovery.
City authorized the SWSCC to review Grantee's request and make
recommendations for an appropriate response. SWSCC retained
a financial consultant to assist in analyzing Grantee's financial
condition, held several public meetings, and conducted a thorough
review of Grantee's request. SWSCC determined that Grantee is
experiencing serious financial difficulties caused by such
adverse factors as higher than anticipated construction and
operating costs, lower than projected market penetration, in-
ability to obtain long-term financing at projected rates and
other industry, economic and technological changes. SWSCC also
concluded that Grantee cannot secure needed refinancing of its
long-term debt, cannot continue to provide the present level
of service and cannot become an economically viable enterprise
unless the City grants a period of relief from some of the
t,"(,)
requirements of the Franchise.
SWSCC recommends that the City grant temporary amendments
to the Franchise, reducing the franchise fee payable now
and in the future, eliminating the required performance bond,
and modifying the provisions for local programming. In
return, Grantee would execute a Performance Agreement pro-
viding a means for monitoring Grantee's financial condition,
assuring an adequate level of local programming, and providing
for certain other matters related to Grantee's requested
relief.
The City has reviewed SWSCC's recommendations and has considered
the option of requiring full payment of the past due franchise
fee through use of Grantee's letter of credit, performance bond,
and parent company performance guarantees. Grantee represents,
however, that if the City and the Other Cities seek payment of
past due franchise fees through resort to such securities, this
would only make it more difficult for Grantee to solve its
financial problems and would be counterproductive to any effort
to provide relief to Grantee.
In adopting this ordinance the City relies upon the represen-
tations of Grantee and seeks to provide a means by which the
public can continue to receive approximately the same level
of service while affording Grantee a reasonable opportunity for
financial recovery. The ultimate purpose of this ordinance is
to secure, at a later time during the Franchise term, the full
public benefits provided for in the Franchise.

PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made this day of
1985, between ROGERS CABLESYSTEMS OF MINNESOTA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
("Grantee"), a Minnesota limited partnership, ROGERS U. S.
CABLESYSTEMS, INC. ("Parent"), a Delaware corporation, the CITY
OF , MINNESOTA ("City"), a municipal corporation
and political subdivision of the State of Minnesota, and the
SOUTHWEST SUBURBAN CABLE COMMISSION ("SWSCC"), a joint powers
organization created by the cities of Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins,
Minnetonka, and Richfield, Minnesota ("Member Cities").
Section 1. Background.
The City has awarded to Grantee a cable communications
franchise pursuant to the Cable Communications Ordinance ("Franchise").
Due to serious financial difficulties, Grantee has requested relief
from certain requirements of the Franchise. The City has granted
such relief pursuant to Ordinance NO. ("Relief Ordinance")
conditioned upon the execution and performance of this Agreement.
The relief granted includes a reduction in the requirements
for franchise fees, financial security and the level of local
programming. By the terms of this Agreement, the City desires to
provide a means for monitoring Grantee's financial condition, to
assure an adequate level of local programming, and to provide
for certain other matters relating to the requested relief.
Section 2. Definitions.
The words and phrases used in this Agreement shall have
the meaning given to them in the Franchise and Relief Ordinance.
Section 3. Term.
This Agreement shall commence upon execution and shall
cease upon termination of the Relief Ordinance.
Section 4. Local Programmina.
4.01. The parties agree to cooperate with one another to
ensure that the level of local programming is maintained and the
needs of users are met. The City reserves the right to determine
the organizational structure for any responsibilities which it
chooses to undertake, and Grantee shall fully cooperate with City
or any designee of City.
4.02. The obligations and responsibilities of the Grantee
with respect to public, educational, and governmental access faci-
lities shall be accomplished according to the terms of a contract
between Grantee and SWSCC. This contract shall be executed by
the two parties and be in the form attached as Exhibit A or
similar form approved by SWSCC.
4.03. The Grantee's responsibilities for public, edu-
cational, and governmental access personnel shall be established
pursuant to a contract between Grantee and SWSCC. This contract
shall be executed by the two parties and be in the form attached
as Exhibit B or similar form approved by SWSCC.
4.04. After August 31, 1986, the City may choose to
authorize SWSCC to contract for public, educational, and govern-
mental access personnel with Grantee or contract with another
- 2 -
-7 )
C-1
person or entity. Nothing herein shall be construed to require
City to contract with Grantee for such personnel after August
31, 1986.
4.05. During the term of this Agreement, the City
shall pay to Grantee an amount equal to
("Annual
Fee") in equal monthly installments payable in advance on the
first day of each month to assist in the provision of local
programming.
4.06. Nothwithstanding -paragraph 4.05 and unless the
parties otherwise agree, the Annual Fee payable by Grantee shall,
upon six (6) months prior written notice to City, be determined
for each year after the_year ending August 31, 1985, based on the
sum of the Annual Fee for the prior year plus the product of
(A) such Annual Fee times (B) a fraction, the numerator of which
equals eighty percent (807.) of the difference between (1) the
Consumer Price Index for the quarter last published prior to the
commencement of such year and (2) the ConsumerPriceIndex, for
the comparable quarter of the preceding year, and the denominator
of which equals the Consumer Price Index for the comparable quarter
of the preceding year; provided, however, that the Anhual Fee
shall not increase in any year by more than ten percent (107.)
over the fee for the prior year. The Consumer Price Index used
shall be the ConsumerPrice Index - All Urban Consumers for the
Minneapolis-St.Paul Metropolitan Area (1967 = 100), published
by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. If such index
- 3 -
is at any time not published, then the City and Grantee shall
select a reasonable substitute index.
4.07. Upon the termination of this Agreement the par-
ties shall review in good faith any transition to be made in the
organizational structure of local programming. The transition
in the organizational structure may include but not be limited
to local programming responsibilities reverting to Grantee, a
continuation of the then existing organizational structure, or
the continuation of the then existing organizational structure
with additional support from Grantee.
Section 5. Institutional Network.
5.01. The parties acknowledge that Grantee has not
complied with provisions of the Franchise relating to the insti-
tutional network. Due to changes in the cable communications
industry, community needs, and financial projections since the
granting of the Franchise, the need for and economic viability
of an institutional network must be re-examined. It is also
recognized that institutional networks have not generally suc-
ceeded without substantial public initiation. In light of these
factors, and in order for the City to make a final determination
on the development of an institutional network, there is by this
Agreement created the SOUTHWEST INSTITUTIONAL NETWORK GROUP
("SWING").
5.02. SWING shall consist on nine (9) members, includ-
ing a chairperson appointed by the SWSCC. Within sixty (60) days
after the chairperson's appointment, Grantee shall appoint four
- 4 -
(4) members. SWSCC shall first consult with the Member Cities
before making these appointments. Grantee and SWSCC shall attempt
to appoint qualified people with appropriate school, industrial,
institutional, and/or financial experience.
5.03. The staff of Rogers and SWSCC shall staff SWING.
5.04. Within eighteen months from the date of this
Agreement, a final report of SWING containing recommendations
shall be provided to each party. The report shall include, but
not be limited to, recommendations on whether or not construction
should occur, time for construction, method of financing construc-
tion and any special institutional services suggested or having
a clear community need. During the time period for preparation
of the report, the City will require Grantee to comply with the
Franchise provisions with respect to the institutional network.
5.05. In preparing its report and recommendations,
SWING shall take into account the economic viability of such a
network on a stand alone basis and the effect, if any, the
construction of the network would have on the financial condition
of Grantee and residential subscriber rates.
5.06. The City shall have no obligation to respond
to the recommendations, and any response will be at the City's
sole discretion.
Section 6. Service to New Residential Developments.
6.01. City acknowledges that extensions of the System
to new residential developments before those residential develop-
- 5 -
-(0
ments are completed leads to frequent damage to the System. This
damage to the System results in increased construction costs
passed on to subscribers, the interruption of service to many
subscribers, and increased maintenance expenses.
6.02. In recognition of these costs and disruptions,
Grantee and City agree that the System need not be extended to
new residential developments until those developments are suffi-
ciently complete to minimize the above described problems as
reasonably determined by Grantee.
6.03. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, City
may require Grantee to extend the System to any new residential
development in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Franchise as amended, and Grantee shall bear the burden of estab-
lishing, to the satisfaction of the City that the additional
costs and disruptions to the System described above necessitates
a delay.
6.04. Except as provided for above, Grantee shall not
delay construction of any part of the System until such time as
Grantee and Parent first reduce the Parent's management fee in an
amount approved by the City. The portions of the System to be
delayed shall also be approved by the City.
Section 7. Reports and Reviews.
7.01. Organization Efficiency Study. At any time during
the term of this Agreement, or if at any time during the term of
this Agreement Grantee seeks further modifications to the
-6-
Franchise, the City may require Grantee to contract for a detailed
analysis of Grantee's operating efficiencies with an independent
consulting firm expert in that field and not objected to by the
City.
A. The contract shall be in an amount negotiated by
Grantee and shall clearly describe a study and will examine fully
and completely any wastes, duplication or other operating ineffi-
ciencies. A copy of the final contract between Grantee and the
independent consulting firm shall be provided to the City.
B. The City reserves the right to participate in over-
sight of the study, to receive copies of reports and communica-
tions between consultant and Grantee, to make recommendations on
the manner or means of the study to ensure a quality report, and
to receive reports as to the status and progress of the study.
C. If the study is requested by the City, Grantee shall
bear fifty percent (507.) of the cost of the study. If the study
is required due to actions of Grantee, Grantee shall pay for
the entire cost of the study.
D. The study shall be completed within six (6) months
from the date it is required and a copy of the final report shall
be furnished to the City. At that time, Grantee agrees to enter
into good faith negotiations with the City concerning proposed
changes based on the study recommendations, if the City deter-
mines that it is in the best interests of the City to do so.
E. The City agrees that if it determines that the
report includes trade secret information of Grantee, as defined

the quarterly financial statements within a written report summariz-
ing Grantee's activities for the quarter and addressing any
specific questions raised by the City.
7.04. Semi-Annual Reports. Grantee shall provide the
City with written progress reports every six (6) months concern-
ing the refinancing of the System referenced in Article II, Sec-
tion 4 of the Franchise as amended. These reports shall include,
without limitation, written confirmation from the principal
financial institution or institutions that such negotiations
are taking place and establishing to the reasonable satisfaction
of the City that progress towards the refinancing is taking
place.
-8-
7.05. Annual Report. Grantee shall submit an annual
report in a form provided to it by City within one hundred and
twenty (120) days after the close of Grantee's fiscal year. City

B. A financial statement;
C. Changes in management;
D. Changes in ownership;
E. Marketing activities;
F. Evidence of the need for continued relief;
G. Progress in procuring new financing, if applicable;

viability. In assessing Grantee's financial progress, the City
may consider the financial projections in the Touche Ross report

St. John's Drive
Road Connection
On several occasions in the past, the issue of whether or not to extend St.
John's Drive southerly to connect to Edenvale Boulevard has been discussed.
The developer of the Tanager Creek property (lying immediately south of St.
John's Woods) has decided to proceed with the development plan as originally
proposed and approved by City Council. During that hearing process, it was
determined that the road should be connected. However, since that time there
has been a number of questions raised regarding that decision. The
influencing factors include the question of connecting a public street (St.
John's Drive) to a private street (segment between St. John's Woods and
Edenvale Boulevard), the concerns of the residents of St. John's Woods about
an increase in thru traffic, the desire to have continous streets for access
by emergency vehicles, and the need to provide turnaround capabilities at the
end of St. John's Drive for snow plowing operations as well as emergency and
regular traffic.
The attached sketch shows the plan the way it was proposed by the developer
for Tanager Creek. It indicates that St. John's Drive would dead end as it is
today and a private cul-de-sac would serve the Tanager Creek development. It
would appear that there would be three alternatives for this situation:
A. Provide a public right-of-way and terminus at the southerly end of St.
John's Drive, but on Tanager Creek property and connect the private
drive in Tanager Creek to it. This would have the effect of making a
connection between the two streets but the link is essentially a
private driveway and would appear as such based on the curvilinear
nature of the roadway. This would generally attempt to satisfy all
the concerns that have been raised.
B. St. John's Drive could be vacated and become a private street and the
roads could be constructed as shown by the attached plan as proposed
by the developer. This would eliminate the problem of snow plowing on
the part of the City, but the turn around problem would still remain
for other motorists and the emergency access would still not be
addressed.
C. Through the final platting process, we could require that St. John's
Drive be extended southerly through Tanager Creek to Edenvale
Boulevard as a public street with no cul-de-sacs. This would create a
problem for the Tanager Creek project since it would require
additional set backs from the street beyond that shown on the plan
proposed by the developer.

It is my opinion that there would be virtually no thru traffic

e

t

those future residents in the homesites of Tanager Creek lying

o

t

Edenvale Boulevard along the connected road. Futhermore, the

DOT has preliminary plans to upgrade Baker Road to a four lan

n
1986/87. In conjunction with that project, it is my opinion
t
h
a
t
l
e
s
s
t
h
a
n
20% of the trips generated in the Tanager Creek area along th

c
o
n
n
e

t
i
n
g
roadway would find it beneficial to utilize St. John's Drive r
a
t
h
e
r
t
h
a
n
Edenvale Boulevard and Baker Road. The present St. John's Dr
i
v
e
s
t
r
e
e
t
alignment is circuitous and has a "closed in" feeling about i
t
b
e
c

proximity of buildings and driveways to the street. Ease of

contend that Edenvale Boulevard coupled with an improved Bake

would anticipate that St. John's Woods residents would find

t
h
w
e
s
t
bound trips from the southerly part of their subdivision will

connection. This could perhaps be viewed as a detriment to t
h
e
s
o
u
t
h
e
r
l
y
a
r
e
a
neighbors, however, the connection would tend to distribute
t
h
e
t
r
a
f
f
i
c
m
o
r
e
evenly across the roadway system. Additionaly, I would point
o
u

t
h
n
o
interconnection, a water main break at the one and only entr

John's Woods would virtually bring movement into the subdivi
s
i
o
n
t
o
a
standstill. A fire or medical emergency during such a perio
d
o
f
t
i
m

w
o
u

certainly be disastrous. Even repairing a pot hole or doing
r
o
a

u
r
f
a
c
e
maintenance at that intersection would create smaller probl
e
m
s
o
f

nature.
Since the question of knock-down barricades will probably su
r
f
a
c
e
a
t
t

meeting, I will reiterate some of my concerns over those ki
n
d
s

installations. In order to install a barricade that will ef
f
e
c
t
i
v
e
l
y
c
u
r
t
a
i
l
thru traffic, it has to be substantial. Our experience is t
h
a
t
a
b
a
r
r
i
c
a
d
e
that could be easily knocked over by a police car winds up being a source of
maintenance and complaints from neighbors. Therefore, a more
s
u
b
s
t
a
n
t
i
a
l
barricade has to be installed which effectively limits emergen
c
y
a
c
c
e
s
s
t
o
fire trucks only and completely eliminates the benefits of a
c
o
n
n
e
c
t
i
o
n
f
o
r
snow plowing and other emergency vehicle access. After discus
s
i
o
n
o
f
t
h
i
s
type of installation in the past, Council did form a policy of
e
i
t
h
e

the connection as deemed necessary or building the street sys
t

interconnection at all. I would strongly recommend that Counc

Based on all the discussion above, I recommend that alternativ

2. The safety for pedestrians and children in the

Drive before other plowing can commence. We believe the vacation
would serve the City by taking the maintenance and snow removal
costs away from the taxpayer of the City and place that burden
upon St. John's homeowners. Also, it would increase the safety
and efficiency of snow removal in the winter for the whole town-
house complex.
We look forward to presenting this proposal to the City Council
on April 16th. If you have any questions or feel that we should
submit any more information, please do not hesitate to call me.
Thank you for your attention.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Jerry Halmrast and Bill Gilk, the developers of
Red Rock Heights, I would like to request of the City Council to
set a hearing date to hear our appeal of the denial by the Board
of Appeals and Adjustments of variance request #85-05.
We would very much appreciate anything that could be done to
move this appeal process along, as the prime construction season
is here and prospective buyers are anxious to get started
building.
Thank you for your consideration of this appeal.
MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
FROM: Recycling Advisory Committee
SUBJECT:
Request for authorization to conduct survey
DATE:
April 12, 1985
The Recycling Advisory Committee has been meeting since December 1984 to learn
about solid waste abatement practices which may be applicable to Eden Prairie.
While committee members have become familiar with recycling lexicon and the
track records of various recycling programs, they are concerned about delving
into recycling without having some reliable guide about residents' preferences
for recycling programs. One way of gauging preferences is through a
statistically reliable survey. Such cities as Minneapolis, St. Louis Park, and
Shakopee have used surveys to help design recycling programs for their unique
situations. Committee members believe this tool should be used to design a
program which meets the needs and preferences of Eden Prairie residents.
The Committee asked the staff liaison to obtain quotes from firms to conduct a
survey with statistically reliable results. Major results from the survey would
be whether residents wished to recycle or not; whether they preferred collection
of recyclables from the curb, at recycling centers or at waste processing
facilities; their willingness to pay for recycling services; what types of
materials they would be likely to recycle and what level of preparation of
materials they would be willing to do; and the number of persons and type of
homes in which they lived.
Staff spoke with market research firms to determine what survey techniques and
sample size would yield statistically significant results. A random telephone
survey of 200 homes appeared to be the most reliable method of gathering the
preferences of a representative cross-section of the community. Quotes obtained
for a 200-home, 20+-question survey were:
tk associates $2356
Communication Associates $2800
Telephone inerviews are expected to take 10 to 15 minutes to complete. For
comparison, the Community Education/Community Services needs assessment survey
done in November 1984 covered 300 homes in 20- to 30-minute telephone interviews
for $3800.
The Committee would review the survey script before telephone work begins.
Funding: Support for solid waste abatement planning is a high priority for the
Metropolitan Council and Hennepin County; it is one of the activities for which
the Legislature authorized the landfill surcharge by the State, counties and
cities. The Metropolitan Council and Hennepin County have separate grant
programs which would fund 50 to 100 per cent of the cost of the prposed survey.
Revenues should also be available from the City's landfill surcharge fee. Due
to the variety of activities and formulas existing in the grant programs for
solid waste abatement planning and implementation, it is recommended that staff
be allowed discretion to maximize the amount of grant funds the City may
receive.

Recomnendation: The Recycling Advisory Committee voted unanimously at its April
10, 1985 meeting to recommend that the City Council authorize a survey to gain a
statistically reliable measure of residents' attitudes and preferences toward
recycling. This survey would provide a higher level of confidence in designing
a program which meets the stated desires of the community.
Staff reconmends that the Council authorize this survey to be done by the 'Om
associates based on its quote dated April 10, 1985 for a fee not to exceed
$2356. The script of the survey would be reviewed by the Committe at its April
24 meeting. Preliminary results would be available by its May 8, 1985 meeting.
The Committee has established a mid-June to early July date to submit its report
and recommendations to the Council.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services 'L
DATE: March 18, 1985
SUBJECT: Fitness Program
At the March 5, 1985 meeting, the City Council directed staff to survey City
,employees and receive comments regarding the fitness program prior to coming
back to the Council with the final recommendation on the fitness program. On
March 11th, a memorandum was sent to all City employees that included a survey
asking how many would participate in a program that allowed staff to use the
Community Center twice a week on their own time. The survey also requested
comments and recommendations on the fitness program.
Seventy-four City employees responded to the survey. Sixty-seven indicated
that they would participate in the program as outlined in the March 11th memo.
Seven indicated they would not participate. This compares to Forty-six
employees that indicated they would have participated during work hours.
Many of the comments indicated that they would probably participate more
during the winter months than during the summer months, and there were many
positive comments reagarding the possibility of.such a program.
Twelve individuals responded that they would have preferred a reduced family
membership, for example, the City paying half of the family membership so an
individual could bring members of the family with them to the Community Center
and "get fit together".
Six people commented that they would like to see the City either offer free or
reduced cost Jazzercise programs or provide the incentive for employees to
participate in Jazzercise programs offered at the school or in their home
community by paying part of the fee. Several other employees responded that
they would like to see fitness testing done to provide an incentive to stay
with an exercise program, and many indicated an interest in programs on how to
use the fitness center, if it was going to be made available through this
program.
Attached to this memo is a memo from Keith Wall regarding the Public Safety
Department response to fitness programs. Keith indicated that perhaps a dozen
Public Safety employees would take advantage of this program. Also, attached
to this memo is an item out of the Minneapolis paper regarding fitness
programs in the business place.
I would recommend we take this information back to the City Council at the
April 2nd meeting and recommend initiating this fitness program as soon as
possible.

TO: BOB LAMBERT
FROM: KEITH WALL
SUBJECT: FITNESS PROGRAM MEMO 3/11/85
Because of our unique work schedule, several of our personnel would
not be able to respond to your memo by 3/15/85. As a result, we have
contacted them by phone and by memo so that one collective response
could be made on their behalf.
A majority of our personnel were already involved in "personal time"
fitness programs before our Division-sponsored program was developed
and implemented recently. Since our main program focus is directed at
encouraging fitness and several of our staff are enthusiastic about
the concept, the free use of the Community Center is viewed as an
added incentive. However, the 'list of rules" included in the origi-
nal program proposal created several conflicts with our unusual work
schedule so that use of the facilities would have been limited at
best. (Predicting advance exercise times and days was particularly
troublesome.) It appears that the subject memo lifts some of those
restrictions by allowing employee use during all regular open times.
That flexibility would make it possible for more of us to use the
center.
I would estimate that a dozen or so here would probably use the faci-
lity with some regularity. We have many more than that exercising
now, however, they are members of private health clubs, have enrolled
in outside aerobic classes (at their own expense) or use our in-house
gym.
Finally, I would hope that the entire city program is not discontinued
because only a small number of folks expressed an interest in it. If
only a few become actively involved and began to realize the many
benefits of being fit, the city will surely benefit. All the things
that have been claimed about productivity, attitude on the job and off
can be substantiated.
Eventually, others will see improvements in their fellow employees and
want to become involved, too. It does take some time, though.
