B. Appeals of Vantage Corporation of decision rendered by the Board of
Appeals and Adjustments on Variance Request No. 85-28 (A Public Meet-
ing)
City Manager Jullie stated the Board of Appeals & Adjustments at its
August 8, 1985 meeting approved several variances as requested by
Vantage Corporation in terms of increasing the floor area ratio and
decreasing the amount of required parking. Vantage also requested a
variance to permit a 60-foot curb-to-curb parking dimension instead of
the 63 feet required by the Code; the Board approved a 62 foot
dimension. Vantage is appealing the parking lot dimension and
continuing its request for a 60-foot dimension.
Matt Nichol, Vantage Corporation, spoke to the appeal.
Planning Director Enger stated Eden Prairie's Ordinances are not out
of line. Enger said the non-commercial lots can be smaller because
there is not as much in and out traffic. Staff had studied the
situation and had looked at various types of parking lots and had
determined Eden Prairie's ordinance to be reasonable. Nichols said he
believed the requirement to be an improper utilization of land.
Bentley said he thought the compromise which was proposed to be a good
one and he could not see a hardship. Peterson said he would like to
see the dimension at 60'. Enger explained that 45 degree parking
could be used; there is less efficiency with this type of parking,
however. Redpath said he felt the compromise offered by the Board of
Appeals was a good one. Pidcock expressed concern that a precedent
would be set should a change be allowed.
City Council Minutes -5- September 17, 1985
{
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to affirm the action of
the Board of Appeals & Adjustments. Motion carried with Pidcock and
Peterson voting "no".

The Park at City West (Resolution No. 85-215)
City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been
published.
Fred Rosenblatt, attorney; Ken Richey, bond counsel; and Rick Craig,
Finger Enterprises, were present to address the request.
There was some discussion regarding the family income requirements
which are included in the housing revenue bond program.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the Public
Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 85-215, adopting a program and
giving preliminary approval to a project and its financing, under
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C and authorizing submission of the
program to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency for review. Motion
carried unanimously.

VI. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Request amendment to Assembly of God Developer's Agreement to allow
20' light fixture in parking lot (Developer's Agreement allows B')
City Manager Jullie indicated the Eden Prairie Assembly of God Church
as requested to amend its developer's agreement to allow a 20-foot
light fixture in its parking lot which currently allows an 8-foot
fixture. Notice that consideration of this item would be on tonight's
Council Agenda was sent to surrounding owners of property.
City Council Minutes -6- September 17, 1985
Bob Iskierka, representing the Assembly of God Church, stated the
present lighting is inadequate.
Planning Director Enger said the proposed lighting would be cut-off
luminars with down lighting and recommended approval of this
amendment.

of the Assembly of God Church to amendment its Developer's Agreement

unanimously.

VIII. APPOINTMENTS

IX. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOAROS & COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Council Members
Peterson - reported he and City Manager Jullie had not formalized any
details regarding a third Council meeting each month.
B. Report of City Manager
1. Valley View Road Construction Update
Director of Public Works Dietz reviewed the plans and said Staff
would recommend a change in the sequence in timing of the project.
The design phase took into consideration the amount of swamp to be
disturbed. Oietz said Staff is now looking at going back to the
original proposal which will require an EAW which is a 90-day
process. The estimated cost is about $29,000 more than was stated
in the Feasibility Report. Dietz said he would recommend the
original design be proceeded with which called for a Spring start
of the project and would require going through the _AW process.
Peterson asked how much the EAW would cost. Dietz said perhaps a
couple of thousand dollars.
2. Oiscussion of Board of Appeals Decision Regarding Community Com-
mercial Zoning Designation
Planning Director Enger reviewed the action taken by the Board of
Appeals and stated there was a question regarding the
interpretation of the City Code as to whether or not a tennis and
swim club should be considered a community-comnercial use or
City Council Minutes -7- September 17, 1985
rather a regional-commercial use. The proponent has stated he
believes the tennis and swim club to be a community-commercial use
while Staff believes this to be a regional use; this would open
the way for other regional uses rather than keeping it as a
community-commercial facility, which it is presently zoned. Enger
expressed concern that should the tennis club not be built the
zoning interpretation might open the way for other uses which
might not be as desirable to the neighbors. Enger noted that
Flagship Athletic Club is located in a regional commercial zone.
Bentley said he did not think it was the Board of Appeals
perogative to make a decision such as this. City Attorney Pauly
said the Board of Appeals decision is somewhat questionnable.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to set the October
15, 1985, meeting of the City Council as the date for the Council
to review the Board of Appeals decision regarding the community
commercial zoning designation. Motion carried unanimously.
C. Report of City Attorney
City Attorney Pauly noted the property owners in the the Willow Creek
neighborhood have started an action against Welcome Home, the owners
of the property, and the City asking for an injunction against any
modifications to the property and in the use of the property for a
State-licensed facility and also making a claim that the action
resulted in inverse condemnation. At the same time, they applied to
the Court for a temporary restraining order which was denied. A
hearing on that question will be held next week.
City Attorney Rosow was present to review the landfill proceedings in
light of the Metropolitan Council review process. There was
discussion as to whether or not the Council should hear what Rosow had
to present because of the fact it was not on the Council Agenda;
residents had not been notified or had been told it was not going to
be discussed. The consensus was the Council would like to hear timely
information which might be pertinent and which might necessitate
action on the part of the City.
Rosow stated the PCA had gone through three drafts of the Consent
Order. He reviewed what was contained in these drafts and the changes
which had been made in them. Bentley said he would like to see a
supplemental EIS required and would like to have the City Council work
towards full closure until that is completed. Anderson asked if a
restraining order could be requested. Rosow said he did not think the
courts would do that.
City Manager Jullie suggested the Council might consider incorporating
a contractual arrangement whereby the landfill would be closed when
the 526 acres plus 10% is completed.
City Council Minutes -8- September 17, 1985
Anderson said he would like to have the landfill closed down, but
realized the impracticality of that position. He wondered what other
options or alternatives were open to the City if the PCA grants the
Consent Order. Rosow said the City could sue to enjoin the company
from continuing to fill; or the City could sue to enjoin the PCA from
executing the Consent Order. Rosow noted that it is his belief that
there is enough questionnable data regarding the permitting process in
1983 which might have the effect of forcing BFI to go back through the
process again. Bentley said it would serve notice that the City of
Eden Prairie is tired of getting the run around. He noted that by
continuing action on the Consent Order, the Metropolitan Council is
allowing the PCA to continue expansion of the landfill. Bentley said
he believed the City of Eden Prairie has the ability to stop the
expansion and he believed the residents of the neighborhood were not
interested in compensation but wanted to see the landfill closed right
now.
Peterson suggested the City might want to review the PCA's
regulations. He thought it was clear that the Council wished to push
as hard as it could to resolve this. Anderson concurred and asked
that this begin immediately.
Redpath commended Mayor Peterson, City Manager Jullie, and City
Attorneys Pauly and Rosow for pursuing this issue so diligently. He
suggested the Council instruct City Attorney Rosow to go the the PCA
and tell them the City has reached its limits and to request a
consultant to monitor the landfill.
Redpath said the City had hoped the Supplemental EIS would lead to the
shutting down of the landfill; the Metropolitan Council does not want
to act until the PCA has acted.
D. Report of Oirector of Community Services
1. Open skating hour changes at the Community Center
Director of Community Services Lambert referred to the September
11, 1985 memorandum in which this matter was addressed.
Superintendent of Recreation Pappas was present to answer
questions.
8entley suggested recommendation #1 in the memorandum be done on a
trial basis; Anderson concurred. Anderson said most of the time
would be sold to those interested in hockey which would be mostly
boys and represents only 8% of the population. He said he would
like to see records kept as to whom was buying the time.
City Council Minutes -9- September 17, 1985
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt Proposals
#1 and #2 as outlined in the Pappas Memorandum of July 30, 1985
with consideration being given to the concerns raised by Council
Members Anderson and Bentley. Motion carried unanimously.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Bentley, to commend the Public Safety
Department for the manner in which the traffic and parking situation was
handled during the Flagship Athletic Club's Open House. Motion carried
unanimously.
X. ADJOURNMENT
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to adjourn the meeting at
12:10 a.m. Motion carried unanimously.

III. THE HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL COMMISSION IN REVIEW
Barbara Johnson reviewed the activities of the Historical and Cultural
Commission. She noted the Commission was an outgrowth of the Bicentennial
Committee and was formed to keep the history of Eden Prairie alive. The
cultural portion of the Commission's mission was added more recently and
has grown as the City has grown. Johnson noted other committees have been
started because of new needs such as the Restoration Committee and the
Arts in City Hall Committee; these committees have involved people who are
new to Eden Prairie. The Commission also gives support to the Eden
Prairie Community Theatre. The Commission believes it is important for
the residents of the community to have a strong sense of community and
that is what it hopes to achieve.
IV. REVIEW OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR 1985-86
Coralyn Koschinska reviewed the preliminary goals and objectives (a copy
is attached).
•
le
Joint Meeting Minutes -2- October 1, 1985
V. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
A. Expectations and Philosophy of City Council in Relationship to
Historic Properties
1. Cummins-Grill Homestead and Smith-Douglas-More House
Mona Leppla, Commission liaison to the Restoration Committee,
stated the Cummins-Grill House was placed on the National Registry •
in 1982. It is presently undergoing restoration: Phase I dealt
with the wiring and heating of the house; Phase II included
tuckpointing all the brick in the house and removing of the east
porch; Phase III which is being worked on will determine the use
of each of the rooms as well as the schematic design of the
interior and exterior.
2. Status of Eden Prairie Historical Society & Public Access Records
Leppla said work is being done to determine how to make public
historical records more accessible to those needing and/or wanting
to use them. Sandy Werts noted the Historical Society has control
of the historical records. There was discussion as to
accessibility and maintenance of the records. Redpath said he
would help to arrange a meeting with Helen Anderson to see if
there might be a way to see that easier access is achieved.
Places to store the materials will be investigated.
3. Historic Preservation Ordinance and Preservation Commission
Sandy Werts discussed how the City might become a "Certified Local
Government" whereby it would be eligible for funds from the State
and Federal governments and explained how the monies could be
used. Werts outlined the types of things which might be included
in a preservation ordinance which would help the City to qualify
for these funds. It was noted the Historical & Cultural
Commission could serve as the Preservation Commission.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to direct Staff to
draft an ordinance which would create a preservation commission.
Motion carried unanimously.
B. Status of Historic Museum & Relationship to Historical & Cultural
Commission
Marie Wittenberg asked about the status of an historic museum.
Bentley said the Eden Prairie Foundation had looked into having a
museum in the new public library which is under construction. He said
the County had stated to the Foundation that changes in their building
Joint Meeting Minutes -3- October 1, 1985
plans would have to be made which might add to the cost and the
Foundation asked for cost estimates. The County never submitted a
cost breakdown to the Foundation. Bentley said perhaps the museum
would be a nice addition to a City Hall facility should one be built.
There was discussion as to what type of facility people would like to
see for a museum.
C. Development of Cultural Programs
Barbara Johnson said the Performing Arts Committee is largely
responsible for the cultural programs. The Young Audience Program is
sponsored by the Historical & Cultural Commission and is offered to
each of the grade schools each year. The schools are able to select
their own programs; there are two programs each year, the other being
paid for by the school's parent organization. Johnson said one of the
most popular programs is the Summer Band Concerts which are held at
Round Lake Park; this also provides an opportunity for the Community
Band to perform at one of the concerts.
Pidcock noted the Ethnic Dance Theatre will perform here on October 4,
19B5. This group's performance in the City last year was sponsored by
the Commission.
Johnson encouraged program ideas from the Council.
V. ADJOURNMENT
Mayor Peterson thanked the Commission members for their work and for
coming this evening to share their ideas with the Council.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:15 p.m.

MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to approve items A - E and G
- 0 on the Consent Calendar. Motion carried unanimously.
IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. PARKWAY OFFICE/SERVICE CENTER by The Brauer Group. Rezoning from
Rural to Community Commercial on 2.75 acres. Location: northeast
corner of Anderson Lakes Parkway and U.S. Highway No. 169/212.
(Ordinance No. 43-85 - rezoning from Rural to Community Commercial)
continued from December 3, 1985.
City Manager Jullie noted this item had been continued from November
19, 1985. Jullie stated at that time concern was expressed regarding
the emergency access to Highway 169; the proponent has since shown an
emergency access with knock-down barriers.
Don Brauer, proponent, spoke to the proposal and specifically to the
changes in the interior circulation and the location of the gas pumps.
Planning Director Enger indicated Staff recommended approval of the
proposal per recommendations included in the Staff Report of October
25, 1965, and with the changes made as noted by Brauer.
Bentley asked Enger if he felt a gasoline tanker truck could get into
the facility without any problem. Enger said he would defer that
question to Brauer. Brauer said there would be no problem with the
smaller tankers; he indicated what the manuevering positions would be
with a larger tanker. Brauer noted the refueling of the tanks would
be done during "off" hours.
Peterson said he felt the landscaping and berming would hide the fact
that this is a gas station. Brauer said that was true but this was
intended to be a neighborhood convenience center; there would be signs
which would indicate what was at this location.
Anderson asked how far off the highway would the landscaping be
located. Brauer stated it would be within the property line.
Anderson expressed concern about the survival of the landscaping when
it is so close to the highway. Enger said a landscape bond is
required and would be used to replace the landscaping should it not
survive.
There were no comments from the audience.
City Council Minutes -4- December 17, 1985
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public
Hearing and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 43-85, rezoning.
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to direct Staff to
prepare a Developer's Agreement as recommended by the Planning
Commission and Staff. Motion carried unanimously.
B. MENARDS EXPANSION by Menards Inc. Request for zoning district
amendment within C-Reg-Ser District for construction of an accessory
building. Location: Menards Building, adjacent to Plaza Drive.
(Ordinance No. 46-85 - amending Ordinance No. 78-45)
City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing was published
and property owners within the project vicinity were notified.
Gary Colby, representing Menards, addressed the request.
Planning Director Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed
this request at its meetings on October 7, October 28, and November
25,1985, at which time the Commission voted to recommend approval
subject to the recommendations included in the Staff Reports dated
October 25 and November 22, 1985, and based on plans dated November 19
and November 25, 1985.
Bentley asked if roof-top screening might be included during the
expansion. Colby said he thought that could be done.
Anderson said he felt the landscaping plan would be an improvement in
the area, but he would like to see the proponent tied down as to the
type of materials to be planted. Enger said that would be specified
in the Developer's Agreement.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public
Hearing and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 46-85, amending
Ordinance No. 78-45 which granted current zoning to the property.
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to direct Staff to
prepare an amendment to the Developer's Agreement as recommended by
the Planning Commission and Staff with consideration being given as to
the type of materials used in the landscaping. Motion carried
unanimously.
C. EDEN SQUARE by Commercial Partners, Inc. Request for Planned Unit
Development and zoning district amendment review within C-Reg-Ser
District and preliminary plat on 9.59 acres for the construction of
commercial/retail. Location: northeast quadrant of the intersection
(
City Council Minutes -5- December 17, 1985
Highway #169 and Prairie Center Drive. (Resolution No. 85-284 -
approving Planned Unit Development District Amendment; Ordinance No.
47-85 - amending Ordinance No. 78-56; and Resolution No. 85-287 -
preliminary plat)
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been
published and property owners in the project vicinity had been
notified.
Harold Skjelbostad, landscape architect, and Peter Jarvis both
representing BRW and David Shea, architect, Shea Architects, were
present. Skjelbostad addressed the request from site plan aspect.
Shea reviewed the architecture of the development.
Planning Director Enger stated this request had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its meeting on November 25, 1985, at which time
the Commission expressed concern about this being a strip mall. The
Commission, however, did vote (5 - 0) to recommend approval of the
request subject to the recommendations included in the November 22,
1985, Staff Report. Enger noted the Council had been provided with
revised plans for Eden Square which had also been provided to the
Planning Commission at its meeting.
Pidcock asked why there is no indoor circulation provided for
pedestrians. Shea said the type of market they are going after does
not warrant that. He explained this would be an accessory center and
would house merchants such as Hirschfields (wallpaper store). Bentley
asked if the walkways had been built so they might be enclosed at a
later date. Shea said it would be possible to do that.
Peterson inquired about the service areas on the street/highway side
of the buildings. Skjelbostad said they would be in a central
location and the merchants would bring their trash to this central
location.
Anderson expressed concern about the type of plan materials to be used
in landscaping the area, particularly in the area along Highway
169/212. Skjelbostad said they expected to use coniferous materials
along Highway 169. Anderson said he was concerned because it seems
that conifers can only take two or three years of salt spray before
they die. Skjelbostad stated the selection of plant materials has
been based on MnDOT studies.
Pidcock asked about the building setbacks. Enger said that 35' is
required; the setbacks for Eden Square are 35' on the north and 53' on
the south. Enger noted the November 27, 1985, Supplementary Staff
Report to the November 22, 1985, Planning Staff Report, prepared by
the Community Services Department which addressed the pedestrian
system in this area.
City Council Minutes -6- December 17, 1985

There were none.
VII. PETITIONS, REQUESTS, & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Review of McGlynn Bakeries Variance Request No. 85-40, and the Board
of Appeals & Adjustments Action of November 14, 1985 to delete the
Continuance of the Mansard Roof (continued from 1 2 3-85)
City Manager Jullie noted this item was continued from the December 3,
1985, meeting of the City Council. The proponent and Staff have
worked together with the result being a satisfactory solution to the
problem.
Farrell Johnson and Jim Evans, architects with Buetow Associates were
present along with Burton McGlynn. Johnson reviewed the solution
which had been reached in their discussions with Staff.
(-
City Council Minutes -7- December 17, 1985
( Planning Director Enger addressed the items which were still
outstanding including the elimination of a truck access in the rear of
the building. Enger noted that industrial buildings do not require
the same image which commercial buildings do. He said he felt the
mansard roof solution which had been reached along with the additional
landscaping which will be required is a good compromise.
Peterson said he felt the issue which was continued just dealt with
the mansard roof; he asked if the modification of the landscaping and
the modification of the loading area were also issues which were to be
decided. Enger said the mansard issue does include landscaping also;
the Council could choose to deal with the loading problem, if it so
desired.
Anderson asked for clarification of the lighting. Enger said there
would be down lighting which is different from what is presently
there.
Bentley said he felt there were three issues before the Council: 1)
do we like the plan, 2) what should be done regarding the landscaping
and 3) what action should be taken regarding the screening of the
loading dock. He noted the Board of Appeals decisions in regard to
those issues.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to reverse the decision
of the Board of Appeals & Adjustments with these modifications: to
maintain the existing plan and to screen the loading area per the
original plan.
McGlynn stated, if the driveways are screened as had been proposed,
their truck drivers have problems backing up into the street. He said
his drivers have talked to him about the problems they have getting in
and out of the loading area. Johnson said there were three driveways
there originally and there are still three there in the new plan
although one was moved.
AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to
screen the loading docks so not eliminate what is currently there but
to adequately screen what is there. Motion carried unanimously.
VOTE ON MOTION AS AMENDED: Motion carried unanimously.
B. CITY WEST REPLAT by Ryan Properties, Inc. Request for preliminary
plat of 19.5 acres into three lots within the City West Business
Center. Location: north of Shady Oak Road, west of City West
Parkway. (Resolution No. 85-285 - preliminary plat)
b
City Council Minutes -8- December 17, 1985
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Meeting was published
and notices were sent to owners of surrounding properties. Jullie
noted the purpose of the proposed replat is to provide more land area
for phases I and III of the City West PUD in order to accommodate an
additional row of parking along the southeast property line.
Planning Director Enger said more of the City West area is going to
office use; this has increased the need for more parking. The
Planning Commission recommended approval of the replat at its November
25, 1985, meeting.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to Resolution No. 85-285,
approving the preliminary plat of City West Replat for Ryan
Properties, Inc.
Pidcock asked for clarification as to why this was a public meeting
and not a public hearing. Jullie said the City Code does not require
a public hearing be held on a replat, but the City chose to hold a
public meeting so those affected would be aware of what is happening.
There were no comments from the audience.
VOTE ON MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
C. TRACKLINE II OFFICE/WAREHOUSE by Undestad Investments. Request for
site plan review on 3.79 acres for office/warehouse. Location:
LaVonne Industrial Park.
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Meeting was published
and notices were sent to property owners within the project vicinity.
He noted that the LaVonne Industrial Park was approved in 1982 and is
zoned I-2 Park; Council review of the site plan is necessary for the
project to proceed.
Rich Keeman, Undestad-Brueggemann Constructors, and Bill Hendemuth,
RCM, were present to address the request.
Planning Director Enger said this request had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its meeting on December 9, 1985, at which time
the Commission voted to recommend approval subject to the
recommendations included in the Oecember 6, 1985, Staff Report.
8entley asked if any variances were going to be requested. Enger said
there would be none.
Anderson asked that the type of trees be specified in the landscape
plan; he expressed concern that the term "Christmas-type tree" is
used.
City Council Minutes -9- December 17, 1985
There were no comments from the audience.
MDTIDN: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to approve the site plan.
Motion carried unanimously.
D. NDRMANDALE TENNIS CLUB by Arteka, Inc. Request for site plan review
for a tennis club. Location: southeast quadrant of Baker Road and
West 62nd Street.
City Manager Jullie noted that site plan review was included as part
of the resolution when the Council considered the Board of Appeals
decision regarding the tennis club. This has been reviewed by the
Planning Commission.
Peter Beck, attorney for Nomandale Tennis Club, addressed the request.
Planning Director Enger said this request had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its meeting on December 9, 1985, at which time
the Commission voted to recommend approval subject to the
recommendations included in the December 6, 1985, Staff Report. Enger
said the Commission was concerned about the removal of the knoll on
the east side of the property; this would mean that 1-494 would be on
the same grade level as St. John Woods. Enger said the proponent
would have to request a grading permit from the State Highway
Department in order to do this. Enger said the power pole would have
then be 16' higher than the parking lot. The actual building would
sit down behind this landform, and the proponent has agreed to leave
this landform as it is.
Director of Public Works Dietz stated the St. John Wood's residents
wanted the driveway into the tennis club to line up with their
driveway; this is not going to be possible. The proponent stated they
have met with the residents of St. John Woods and the residents have
agreed the situation is okay as proposed. Enger said a considerable
problem might arise due to the headlights and their effect on St. John
Woods.
Redpath asked why a ramp is not under consideration rather than
removing the knoll. He asked if made sense to take down a knoll to
provide parking for 4D cars. Anderson noted this is one of the
highest hills in the City and is a significant landform. Pidcock
concurred.
Director of Community Services Lambert said this request had been
reviewed by the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission at
its meeting on December 16, 1985. The two issues of concern to the
Commission were the retaining wall and the knoll. The Commission
voted to approve the request with the provision that as much as
possible of the hill in the northeast corner of the property be
retained and with the approval of the retaining wall.
City Council Minutes -10- December 17, 1985
( Anderson suggested that once the natural sound barrier in the form of
the knoll is gone, the residents would probably come back to the
Council to request that sound barriers be built.
Anderson asked why the proponent did not look to the south for
additional parking. Enger, using a graphic, explained why this was
not feasible. Bentley said he would like to have Staff and the
proponent work on this further rather than have the Council attempt to
determine what might work best.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to refer this issue back
to Staff and the developer for further consideration of the parking
issue as well as retention of the knoll. Motion carried unanimously.
Enger noted the floor area ratio for the proposed club amounts to 43%
of the area; this has pointed out a "glitch" in the Ordinance and is
being reviewed by Staff.
E. ARTEKA NURSERY by Arteka, Inc. 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 45-85,
rezoning from Rural to Community Commercial, approval of Developer's
Agreement, and adoption of Resolution No. 85-286, approving Summary of
Ordinance No. 45-85 and ordering publication of Said Summary.
Location: southeast quadrant of West 66th Street and Baker Road.
(Ordinance No. 45-85 - rezoning from Rural to Community Commercial and
Resolution No. 85-286 - approving Summary and Publication)
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue action on
this item to the time the request for site plan review for the tennis
club (item D.) is reconsidered by the City Council.
Peter Stalland, attorney for Arteka, stated he thought this was to be
a housekeeping matter. He said the closing on the property is
conditioned on 2nd Reading or zoning for the property. Stalland said
he would appreciate it if the City Council would approve this tonight
so 2nd Reading and the Developer's Agreement would allow the closing.
Bentley asked Enger if 2nd Reading would limit the Staff's ability to
deal with the proponent. Enger said the 2nd Reading does give the
City some leverage. Stalland said it was their understanding that if
this did not go through it would revert back to Rural zoning and the
City then would have complete control of whatever might be proposed.
Enger noted the majority of the site is already zoned. Peterson asked
if waiting until the first meeting in January to act on this would
create a real hardship to the proponent. Stalland said he was
surprised by the Council's discussion to postpone action. Enger noted
the Normandale Tennis Club was coming before the City through a
voluntary process rather than one which was mandated by Code.
Peterson said the issue now before the City Council has a great deal
of impact. Bentley said that while concern has been expressed, there
is no intent to kill the project. He said the Council is asking if
City Council Minutes -11- Oecember 17, 1985
there might be a more imaginative way to deal with the parking issue.
Beck said they certainly will continue to work with the City. The
architect for the project said that until this evening they had not
realized the importance of the hill.
MOTION WITHDRAWN by Bentley with Anderson's consent.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Bentley, to give 2nd Reading to
Ordinance No. 45-85. Motion was defeated with Redpath and Anderson
voting "no".
Enger said he felt there was a viable solution to the parking
situation without having to remove much of the knoll.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to reconsider the
previous motion. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Bentley, to give 2nd Reading to
Ordinance No. 45-85.
Redpath asked Enger what might be done. Enger explained how some
parking might be eliminated so the knoll could remain and a one-way
parking system might be installed which would create more spaces.
Anderson noted there is some City land adjacent to the property which
might be taken into consideration to save the knoll.
VOTE ON THE MOTIDN: Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No.
85-286, approving the Summary of Ordinance No. 45-85 and Ordering the
Publication of Said Summary. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Bentley, to approve the
Oeveloper's Agreement as presented to the Council. Motion carried
unanimously.
F. Request from Cardinal Creek Homeowners' Association regarding Chimo
Development Proposal
City Manager Jullie stated that PUD Concept Approval had been given by
the Council for the Cardinal Creek 4th Addition earlier this year. In
November the City Council adopted an inducement resolution giving
preliminary approval for housing revenue bonds for this project.
Ouring the past week Council members and Staff have received written
communications as well as telephone calls from property owners in the
Cardinal Creek neighborhood expressing their concerns about the City's
approval of this type of financing for the proposed development in
their area. Their concern is that by approving the inducement
resolution, tacit approval was given to the housing proposal. Jullie
1
City Council Minutes -12- December 17, 1985
{ noted he had several discussions with Gordon Alexander, President of
the Cardinal Creek Homeowners' Association, regarding this matter.
Jullie said the Homeowners' Association would like to have the Council
reconsider its action regarding the inducement resolution for the
housing revenue bonds.
Anderson said he would like to have City Attorney Pauly's view
regarding this. Pauly said he felt the Council should hear what the
Cardinal Creek representatives have to say as to what their specific
complaints are. Pauly said the proponent has indicated they do not
intend to proceed with the financing of this project prior to the end
of the year; the chances are very great they will not use this
financing at all due to the changes in the law.
Gordon Alexander, 6885 Sand Ridge Road, President of the Cardinal
Creek Homeowners' Association, said the Cardinal Creek Homeowners did
not wish to take an adversarial role; however, they did not think the
City Council was aware of the ramifications of its action of November
19th. Alexander said they did not think bonding should be allowed
prior to zoning. The bond type under consideration, they believe, is
for low-income housing and should be set aside until the zoning has
been achieved.
Floyd E. Siefferman, Jr., 6997 Edgebrook Place, asked the Mayor and
City Council to rescind Resolution No. 85-269. He stated the City
{ should not endanger its bonding authority by approving these bonds;
the City Council was stampeded into something it should not have done.
Siefferman said he did not believe an up-scale project such as what
had been proposed could be financed by this type of bond. Siefferman
said notice of the public hearing for the inducement resolution was
published in the Minneapolis Star and Tribune rather than the Eden
Prairie News which is the City's legal newspaper. He stated the
Cardinal Creek Homeowners' Association will take legal action if the
Council does not take immediate action to rescind Resolution No. 85-
269.
Roger Swigart, 13184 Cardinal Creek Road, offered comparisons of the
proposed project as it was defined at the time of concept approval and
at the time the financing was approved. Swigart said there was enough
of a difference between the two proposals so they should be regarded
as two separate requests.
Bentley said he understood any reconsideration of a previous action of
the Council could take place only after the Council set a date for
such a hearing. City Attorney Pauly said he did not think that was
the case in this instance; the Council could act to rescind at any
time. Bentley asked if the notice of the November 19th Public Hearing
had been correctly published. Pauly said he had conferred with John
Larson of Holmes and Graven and they determined it was legal. State
City Council Minutes -13- December 17, 1985
{
Statutes, Chapter 462C, under which these bonds are issued, state that
newspapers of general circulation within the community can be used for
public hearing notices. Pauly noted that the official city newspaper
is necessary for the publication of City Ordinances. Bentley asked
why the Eden Prairie News was not used in the case of the November
19th hearing. Finance Director Frane said it was a matter of timing;
because the Eden Prairie News is a weekly, there was not enough time
to prepare the notice and get it published.
City Attorney Pauly said there is a considerable misapprehension
regarding this project and what is happening. Pauly stated the bonds
will not be sold on what has been done to date. There is no
indication the proponent is going to request the sale of these bonds;
final bond approval has not been request by the proponent. Pauly
stated the proponent would have to come to the City to get the proper
zoning before the bonds could be sold. The reason for so many
requests for preliminary approval for housing revenue bonds at this
time is due to the fact that no one knows what changes, if any, are
going to be made by Congress.
City Attorney Rosow noted that two resolutions are needed, preliminary
as well as final approval, before the bonds can be sold. Rosow
explained what is meant by the inducement resolution.
Bentley said he thought the concept had been approved for a top range
of 208 units all of which were not two-bedroom units; unless the bond
approval could be amended in some way, they could not be sold as
proposed. Pauly concurred. Peterson asked if the housing revenue
bond action could be amended. Pauly said that might be possible.
Redpath asked where the numbers used to determine the rents
originated. Pauly said these were included in "The Program".
Bentley said he could see no need to take action at this time based on
what City Attorney Pauly had related to the Council.
Peterson said it seemed some what devious to him to approve an
inducement resolution which he had no intention of voting in favor of
at time of final approval.
Anderson asked if there was a problem with taking away the bonding
from Chimo. City Attorney Pauly said the original approval stated
there was no guarantee; he said he believed doing nothing would not
change the City's options at all.
Pidcock said she was uncomfortable with the situation. She said she
resented the underlying threat of a lawsuit which had been brought up
by the Cardinal Creek representatives.
City Council Minutes -14- December 17, 1985
Redpath noted the Council had been faced with a similar situation last
year at the end of the year with industrial revenue bonds; there was a
last minute rush in anticipation of changes which might be made by
Congress.
Bentley stated he has never liked housing revenue bonds but had given
in to the concept the last time they were before the Council.
Alexander said the program states the bonds must be sold by December
31, 1985, and the Cardinal Creek homeowners believe they must protect
their property.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Peterson, to rescind the action of
November 19, 1985, at which time preliminary approval was given via
Resolution No. 85-269.
Redpath said, based on the information of this evening, he believed
the Council should leave its options open; no action can be taken on
the part of the proponent prior to final approval of the bonding.
Peterson said he thought it was inappropriate to induce someone with a
bond offer to 208 units as described.
Swigart said the concern of the residents is that the financing being
proposed covers 208 one and two-bedroom apartment units; this leaves
the way open to a low and medium-income housing project.
City Attorney Rosow said if the proponent were to sell the bonds
before the end of 1985 then the proponent would be tied to that figure
(208). The program can be amended; given the length of time necessary
to do this via the public hearing process this would preclude its
being done in 1985 because there is not enough time. Rosow noted the
proponent would be subject to stricter regulations after January 1,
1986. Peterson stated it would be in the City's best interest to
rescind the Resolution.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
G. Final Plat Approval for Allstate 1st Addition (North of Norwest Bank)
(Resolution No. 85-279)
Director of Public Works Dietz explained the question regarding this
matter was whether or not the Outlot to the north should be platted as
a part of the Allstate property or as an Outlot.
Bob Worthington, Director of Governmental Affairs for Opus
Corporation, stated there also was a question regarding the dedication
requirements.
MDTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Pidcock, to adopt Resolution No.
85-279, approving final plat of Allstate 1st Addition. Motion carried
unanimously.

1. Appointment of Site Selection Committee
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to appoint Rich
Anderson, Mike Eames, Norm Friedericks, Virginia Gartner, Gene
Haberman, Carolyn Lyngdal, Sue Osberg, and Betty Stehman to the
Site Selection Committee with Councilman Anderson, Director of
Community Services Lambert and City Manager Jullie as City
representatives. Motion carried unanimously.
B. Report of City Manager
1. Amendment of Gambling Devices Ordinance
City Manager Jullie noted that changes in state law transferred
licensing of gambling devices and activities to the State with the
exception of four cases identified in the City Attorney's
memorandum of December 6, 1985. Jullie stated the City could
still veto a license which was issued by the State.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to repeal Section
5.40 of the City Code relating to licensing and permitting of
gambling devices. Motion carried unanimously.
C. Report of City Attorney
City Attorney Pauly said he and Rick Rosow of his office wished to
discuss their concerns regarding some of the housing revenue bonds
which are before the Council.
City Attorney Rosow stated that in order to issue the bonds, bond
counsel must give its opinion. The bond counsel relies on a
certificate of the city called the arbitrage certificate. The city,
in this certificate, must state that it reasonably believes the
project will be built as bonded and as planned in the bonding process.
The City has always put in its arbitrage certificate that it has not
conducted an independent investigation of the facts that the developer
has given the city but has relied on the developer's representation.
If the project does not have zoning, the City must have facts before
it from which it must be expected zoning will be achieved. Rosow said
in some cases a developer has taken the bond money and has earned
interest on the proceeds that is greater than the interest paid on the
t ..
City Council Minutes -16- December 17, 1985
bonds which has resulted in making money. The consequence to the city
could be that the IRS could black list the city from issuing other
bonds. What the IRS is saying in that case is that the city's
arbitrage certificate cannot be relied upon. The question has been
raised with the CSM and HD proposals regarding the arbitrage
certificate. Bond counsel has wanted the City to say that the market
could bear the additional number of units proposed and could absorb
them. Rosow said he would not agree to this.
Rosow said in the case of Bay Point Manor there is no third party
guarantee although they do have zoning. In this instance they wish to
have the City issue the bonds and then have them "parked" with a bank
until they have a third-party guarantee at which time the bonds would
be sold. Rosow said the City has to reasonably expect they can get
the third-party guarantee and the kind of financing necessary to go
ahead. The City does not have that information at this time. City
Attorney Pauly said they are treating these three items in a cautious
manner; they might have to recommend the Council not give approval to
the final resolutions.
Bentley said he believed it would be a good idea for the Council to
pass a resolution whereby the Council would take no action on bonds
unless and until there was proper zoning and a signed developer's
agreement on hand.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcok, to adopt as policy that
the City Council will not, as a City Council, clnsider preliminary
resolutions for revenue bonds (housing revenue bonds and industrial
revenue bonds) until such time as appropriate zoning, development

ENGINEERING REPORT ON FINAL PLAT
TO: Mayor Peterson and City Council Members
THROUGH: Carl J. Jullie, City Manager
Eugene A. Dietz, Director of Public Works
FROM: David L. Olson, Senior Engineering Technician'
DATE: January 13, 1986
SUBJECT: CITY WEST BUSINESS CENTER
PROPOSAL: The Developer, Ryan Construction, Inc., has requested City
Council approval of the final plat of City West Business
Center. The plat contains approximately 19.5 acres located
west of City West Parkway and north of Shady Oak Road in
Section 1. Several lots within City West are being combined
to form three lots (Lots 1,2 and 3, Block 1). Plat approval
at this time will enable the moving of the common line between
Lots 1 and 2 to allow room for an additional parking row in
Lot 1. Presently, Lot 1 contains an office-warehouse building
with additional buildings intended on Lots 2 and 3.
HISTORY:
The preliminary plat was approved by the City Council on
December 17, 1985, per Resolution 85-285.
Zoning to I-2 Park (Lot 1, Block 1) and Office (Lots 2 and 3,
Block 1) was previously approved by the City Council.
The Developer's Agreement and Owners Association documents
from City West shall apply to this platting.
VARIANCES:
All variance requests must be processed through the Board of
Appeals.
UTILITIES AND STREETS:
All municipal utilities and roadways to serve the site have
been installed.
A City owned and maintained storm sewer is in place within the
40' drainage and utility located southwesterly of the
northwesterly line of Lot 1. Although the Developer has not
requested a vacation of this easement, it would be possible to
reduce the width necessary to cover the storm sewer. This
vacation would be accomplished in conformance with City Code
requirements and procedures.
A 10' wide drainage and utility easement should be platted on
the common line between Lots 1 and 2. This easement will be
shown on the final plat prior to City release.

MEMORANDUM •

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Chris Enger, Director of Planning
THROUGH: Carl J. Jullie, City Manager
OAIL: January 15, 1986
SUBJECT: Oakwood Builders--Flying Cloud Office Building
Subsequent to the Council meeting of January 7, 1986, the Planning Staff has been in
contact with both Mr. Jack Haverty of Oakwood Builders (the proponent) and Mr. Glen
Nybeck (attorney for adjoining property owner, Harold Schaitberger.)
We discussed with Oakwood Builders the possibility of building their Phase II (the
southern-most building, adjacent to new County Road #1) first, and putting off
construction for some specified period of time what is currently their Phase I
building (adjacent to Mr. Schaitberger). We felt that perhaps this would be less of
a near-term impact on Mr. Schaitberger and would allow him some flexibility, if he
wished to sell his property.
In checking further into the possibility of changing the first phase building
location, we found that there is both a median and painted median, which would
restrict full access to new County Road #1. In addition, we have a letter of review
from Hennepin County dated October 25, 1985, in which they suggest no .access be
taken from County Road #1. Also, upon further reflection, the proponent does not
wish to trade phases.
I spoke personally to Mr. Glen Nybeck, Mr. Schaitberger's attorney, in an effort to
assure that he had a complete and proper understanding of what an Interim Use is in
Eden Prairie and what flexibility we felt it offerred in situations such as this.
• Mr. Nybeck was fairly non-committal, but indicated that he felt his client did
understand Eden Prairie's Interim Use and did not see the advantage to his client.
I asked that if he, or his client, had different feelings, or questions, prior to
the Council meeting, that they contact me.
The Planning Staff would continue to recommend approval of the request for rezoning
to I-2 Park in accordance with the Comprehensive Guide Plan and with the landscape
buffer designed by the proponent to Mr. Schaitberger's property. Staff believes
that the Interim Use would provide Mr. Schaitberger with additional flexibility, if
he wished to sell his property; however, if Mr. Schaitberger does not feel this is
to his advantage, the Staff would not recommend going forward unilaterally.

FROM: Assistant to the City Manager Craig W. Dawson
SUBJECT: Appointments to City Hall Architectural Advisory Comittee
At its January 7, 1986 meeting the City Council continued the matter of
appointing a residents' Architectural Advisory Committee for the proposed City
Hall. This informal committee would review the architectural elements of the
building. It would work at the concept level only, its members identifying
themes or elements it wished to see on the exterior and in the main entry to the
new public edifice. It is anticipated that this committee would meet two or
three times beginning February 5, 1986.
The following persons have been contacted and indicated a willingness to serve
on the Architectrual Advisory Committee:
Pat Breitenstein; Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission
Gene Haberman; Site Selection Committee
Steve Hoyt

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Manager Carl J. Jullie G�
SUBJECT: Housing Code
DATE: January 17, 1986
Pursuant to the Council's direction on 11/5/86, the following is a summary of
our recommendations regarding adoption and enforcement of a Housing Code for
rental properties in the City.
Discussion
Presently, the City has approximately 1,700 units of rental housing, ranging
from duplexes to large, multi-family complexes. Another 1,175 rental units are
now under construction. During 1986 we anticipate that an additional 585
rental units could be under construction. The City's Planning Staff estimates
that by the year 2000, we will have about 4,150 units of rental housing in Eden
Prairie, plus an unknown number of rental units within single family homes.
Because most of our current rental housing stock is quite new, the City staff
receives relatively few complaints from renters about the condition of their
units. Usually it is possible to gain the cooperation of the building owners to
make the needed repairs or to eliminate other nuisance problems. Occasionally,
however, such easy resolution is not possible.
On occasion, the building owners complain that the renters have been abusive to
the property or do not report that repairs are needed until significant damage
has been done. These cases are not easily resolved and can result in a serious
dispute between the owner and renter.
Presently, if a renter calls the City for an inspector to come out and write up
tickets for applicable code violation, our only legally viable approach is to
make reference to the Uniform Building Code which is directed primarily at new
construction. There is a provision in the Code which addresses maintenance of
buildings as follows:
Sec. 104 (d) Maintenance. All buildings and structures, both
existing and new, and all parts thereof, shall be maintained in a
safe and sanitary condition. All devices or safeguards which are
required by this code shall be maintained in conformance with the
code edition under which installed. The owner or his designated
agent shall be responsible for the maintenance of buildings and
structures. To determine compliance with this subsection, the
building official may cause any structure to be reinspected.
Since this is a very general provision, it could be difficult to sustain a good
defense of any legal challenge of our corrections order without having the
opportunity to refer to very specific standards.
In order to correct this potential deficiency and to provide our inspections
staff with complete standards and guidelines, it would be appropriate for the
City to adopt the "Uniform Housing Code." Other cities, such as Minneapolis and
- 2 -
St. Louis Park have adopted this Code, in addition to the Uniform Building Code.
The Housing Code sets basic requirements for such items as heat, water,
electricity, light and ventilation, fire protection, trash, rodents, caulking
and weatherstripping and insulation, foundation and roof, floors, walls and
ceilings, windows and doors, stairways, screens, storm windows, yards, etc. The
Housing Code requires the owner to keep the premises in reasonable repair during
the terms of the lease, except when the disrepair has been caused by the
willful, malicious or irresponsible conduct of the renter or any person under
his direction or control.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Council direct staff to prepare an Ordinance adopting
the Uniform Housing Code, with the understanding that enforcement would be
administered as follows:
1. A summary of the basic requirements of the Housing Code
will be prepared and mailed to all rental building owners,
who will be asked to post these requirements or otherwise
assure that their renters are made aware of their rights.
(Also, this summary will be published in the Eden Prairie
"Happenings" once per year).
2. Any renters who believe that conditions in their unit may
be in violation of the Housing Code may call the City for
an on-site inspection. The renters must state that they
have contacted the owner and given the owner a reasonable
time to make the needed repairs. Owners or their agents
must be reasonably available within the metro area to be
contacted by the renters for repair/maintenance requests.
3. The renter must report the name, address and telephone
number of the owner at the time of requesting the
inspection. The owner will be notified of the time of
the inspection and asked to be present.
4. An inspection report will be issued to the owner, listing
the violation to be corrected and allowing a reasonable
time to correct same. Copies will be given to the renter.
5. The inspection fee will be $15, payable by the owner if
any violations are found. The renter shall pay this fee
if no violations are found. This fee may be amended in
the future as the Council deems appropriate.
In anticipation of the Council's concurrence with these recommendations, one of
our building inspectors has attended a special conference on January 13-15 at
the University of Wisconsin which is intended to provide the fundamentals
necessary to administer the Housing Code.
We do not anticipate that there will be a large volume of requests for housing
inspections and therefore we should be able to handle these inspections without
adding staff at this time, but some overtime pay may be necessary.

Grading and Flood Plain Encroachment
The existing grades vary in elevation from a low point of 890 at the south corner to
930 near the northwest corner, with the remainder of the site at the 920 foot
elevation. The northeast property line abuts Nine Mile Creek with an elevation of
900 feet.
Previous grading on the site caused the placement of approximately 10 feet of fill
near the original flood plain elevation of 901.
The grading as proposed, places the building pad elevation at 917. Construction of
earthen berms at a 4:1 slope along the west property line, and at 3:1 along the east
property lines are proposed to aid in screening of the parking areas and mass of the
structure. Because Indian Chief Road is one of the entrances to the Edenvale
residential area, Staff feels that additional berming is necessary to properly
screen views from Indian Chief Road. As Attachment A illustrates, construction of a
berm to an elevation of 932 at a 3:1 slope can be accomplished to adequately screen
the view from Indian Chief Road without affecting the storage area for the proposed
sedimentation pond. Also, the berm to the west should be increased to a 3:1 slope
to establish the maximum available screening height.
The Nine Mile Creek Watershed District has already completed a review of an earlier
version of this plan and as part of their approval for the project, made the
requirement of re-establishing the location of the original flood plain elevation of
901.
As part of the City Code requirements for development within the flood plain, a
contiguous parcel of property of sufficient width, but in no case less than 50 feet
from the nearest bank of the channel, must be subjected to a perpetual easement in
favor of the City for creek protection purposes.
Shoreland Ordinance
Nine Mile Creek is considered a protected water according to the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources and has been classified as a General Development
Water. Minimum setback requirements have been established within this water
classification to help preserve and enhance the quality of the waterway. The plan
meets the minimum requirements for Industrial District development within the
shoreland area of a General Development Water, with the exception of:
A) Structures shall not exceed 30 feet in height.
B) Where feasible and practical, all roads and parking area shall meet
the setback requirements established for structures within the
shoreland area i.e., 150 feet.
The proposed building illustrates a height of 37 feet as measured from County Road
#67 frontage. Twelve percent of the building extends to a height of 52 feet as
measured, from County Road #67 frontage. City Code permits a 30-foot maximum height
for a building within a shoreland area. The proponent has applied for a variance to
this Code requirement.
Utilities
Sanitary sewer and water services can be extended to this site by connection to the
water stub along County Road #67 and a sanitary sewer line east of Nine Mile Creek.
Reuter, Inc. Waste Processing Facility 3 January 10, 1986
In order to make this connection across Nine Mile Creek, a Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources Chapter 105 Work in Public Waters Permit will be required.
The City Engineer has reviewed the utility plan and recommends that the water
service be extended to the west property line for future connection. Since these
municipal service lines will be publicly owned and maintained, proper utility
easements must be dedicated to the City prior to issuance of any building permit.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff would recommend approval for site grading for the Reuter, Inc., Waste
Processing facility based on the plan dated January 9, 1986, the Staff Report dated
January 10, 1986, and subject to the following:
1. Prior to Council review, proponent shall:
A. Revise the grading plan as illustrated in Attachment A, creating a
berm to an elevation of 932 on the back side of the lot to
effectively screen views from Indian Chief Road.
B. Increase westerly berm to a 3:1 slope for maximum available
screening height.
C. Submit to the City Engineer, a revised utility plan extending the
water service line to the west property line.
2. Prior to grading permit issuance, proponent shall:
A. Submit this revised grading plan to the Nine Mile Creek Watershed
District for their review.
B. Submit to the City Engineer, for recording with Hennepin County, a
50-foot perpetual easement in favor of the City as measured from the
nearest bank of the channel of Nine Mile Creek.
C. Receive from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, a 105
Work in Public Waters Permit for utility connection.
0. Notify the City and Watershed District a minimum of 48 hours before
the commencement of grading.
3. Prior to building permit issuance, proponent shall:
A. Receive a variance from the Board of Appeals for a maximum building
height of 52 feet as measured from County Road #67 within a
shoreland area.
B. Dedicate to the City, the proper utility easements for the municipal
service lines to the west property line.
C. Pay the appropriate Cash Park Fee.

1. Authorize a new position of Assistant to the City Manager
for Personnel/Human Resources at a salary range of
S32,000 - $39,000, plus additional part-time clerical
support @ $6,000. (Funding is available from the General
Fund Surplus).

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services
DATE: January 14, 1986
SUBJECT: Personnel Director Position
The City of Eden Prairie now has over 150 full-time employees and hundreds of part-
time and seasonal employees. Each department is responsible for hiring both full-
time and part-time employees, and Department Heads are responsible for not only
understanding State and Federal regulations regarding hiring practices, but also
being familiar with City personnel policies, the affirmative action plan, etc.
Needless to say, whenever there are seven or eight Department Heads each hiring
their own staff, there may be inconsistencies regarding methods and various
interpretations of policy, etc.
As City staff continues to grow, the need for consistent hiring practices and
interpretation of policy will also grow. The Comparable Worth Study the City is
presently participating in is also an example of the sign of the times, and the need
for a Personnel Director that can constantly monitor these concerns.
Dther job responsibilities that should be considered under the Personnel Director
would include: staff liaison to the Human Rights and Services Commission. That
commission is getting more and more involved in dealing with discrimination concerns
and developing policies on human rights related issues. That commission often
handles 25-30 no-fault grievance procedures each year, and the existing Human
Services Coordinator is used by some of the City staff as a consultant on the
grievance process. The Personnel Director should be a highly trained professional
in human relations with an extensive amount of background in recruitment selection,
interdepartment relations, labor negotiations and employee relations. That person
must also be well schooled in the technical aspects of the position regarding
Federal and State equal opportunity laws.
The Personnel Director should also be responsible for the City safety program and
have the ability to develop and supervise an ongoing, in-house safety training
program for all of the various departments.
Staff would recommend considering attempting to hire someone that also has a basic
understanding of the municipal liability concerns, as it is likely liability
insurance will be a major topic of all municipalities over the next few years and
will most likely require extensive ongoing attention; however, this should only be a
secondary consideration in hiring a Personnel Director.
Attached is a memorandum from Jan Calhoon, Human Services Coordinator, dated
September 4, 1985 that outlines Ms. Calhoon's concerns regarding the Human Services
Coordinator position. She points out that the human services needs are growing
rapidly and that she is required to spend more and more of her time "constantly
reacting to calls or requests from seniors, staff, Council or Commission" and
"unable to spend worthwhile time" with any of the many projects she lists in her
memorandum. The council may recall that the major emphasis of the Human Services
Coordinator in 1981 was to provide recreation programs and services for the Seniors
and special populations in the community. Ms. Calhoon has indicated that some weeks
she is unable to spend even one day working with the Seniors.
Ms. Calhoon has suggested spliting the position into two positions; a Human Services
Coordinator and a Senior Center Coordinator. The Director of Communtiy Services
would suggest that the Council consider hiring a Personnel Director with extensive
human relations background that would assume the majority of the Human Rights and
Services Commission staff functions. Staff would also suggest the Council develop a
policy stating what level of human services the City wishes to offer at the
municipal level. The Human Services Coordinator is presently getting calls from
needy people that are looking for services far different than recreational programs.
The Human Services Coordinator works very closely with PROP and, in fact, now on
occasion will spend two or three days at a time working with an individual or family
that needs food, clothing, transportation, affordable housing or simply can't get a
landlord to sufficiently heat the premises.
Each year the City receives new requests from different groups looking for funding
assistance for human services needs, programs, services, etc. For the 1986 budget
Cornerstone (a service for battered women) requested $5,000. Storefront (two
individuals working through the YMCA providing therapy for school age children)
requested $20,00D. South Hennepin Human Services requested $5,600.
The Council should consider policy recommendations relating to what types of human
services the City should be providing residents. Should the Human Services
Coordinator be spending time with the residents helping them find housing? Should
the City be providing transportation to medical offices or for shopping to low
income people? Should the City be paying for therapy of school age children? How
should the City be working with PROP? What level of social services should the City
be providing its residents? How do City responsibilities in this area compare with
County responsibilities in this area?
No one is questioning the worth of any of these programs; however, staff is
requesting direction from the Council as to the amount of staff time that should be
committed to these types of services. The City is presently not staffed to provide
these kinds of services. Staff would recommend the Council request the Human Rights
and Services Commission form a subcommittee that would study the types and level of
human services the City should be providing, establish goals and policies for each
of those types of services, as well as staffing and budget recommendations to
provide those services. As the City grows there will be more demands in the area of
transportation for the elderly, as well for recreation services; there will also be
more and more requests for human welfare type of services from the City. PROP will
no doubt eventually be requesting assistance from the City, in the form of
transportation needs, as well as office or storage needs. The City should develop a
comprehensive plan stating goals and policies for the human services area.
Eleven cities were contacted and questioned regarding their Personnel Director, the
salary range, and the duties of that person. The majority of the communities had an
Assistant to the City Manager with personnel duties. Four had Personnel Directors.
Each city indicated that the position was developed to_ include duties that were
needed by that specific city. For example, some Personnel Directors also had city
clerk responsibilities, others had finance responsibilities, others had insurance
responsibilities, etc. The following list is the cities, the title of the position,
and the 1985 salary level:
CITY TITLE 1985 SALARY
Bloomington Personnel Director $50,400/year (salary
range $42,000-$68,400
Coon Rapids Assistent City Manager with $30,060
Personnel Duties ( In 1986 Coon
Rapids will be hiring a Personnel

Assistant to the City Manager)

(other duties as Risk Mgt. Director & Saftey Director)
Brooklyn Park Assistant to the City Manager $26,000-$31,450
(Purchasing Agent & Personnel Director)
Each city's job description differed greatly with the exception of those cities that
had a Personnel Director. Staff would recommend the City of Eden Prairie consider
hiring a Personnel Director that reports directly to the City Manager. Staff would
further recommend a salary range for 1986 of $32,000-$41,000, and would recommend
the following job description:

MEMORANDUM

TO: Carl Jullie, City Manager
THRU: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services
FROM: Jan Calhoon, Human Services Coordinator
DATE: September 4, 1985
SUBJECT: Human Services Position
After being the Human Services Coordinator, Senior Center Director and
Adaptives Director for the past 4 1/2 years, I see a definite need for
reviewal and division of the responsibilities of these positions.
Human service needs have grown rapidly as the City has grown. Presently,
because these services have been taken care of, many of the needs have not
been realized. •
The City is growing, as our last census has shown. We are building more
senior and low to moderate income housing, which calls for additional needs in
services, transportation and assessments of special populations.
The Council directed the Commission at the joint meeting to assess trends and
needs in the City. To do this, additional studies and reviewing of codes, •
ordinances and zoning is needed.
This year the Council will have new requests for funding and larger sums of
money being requested. Until this year, monies have seen granted with no
specific requirements or responsibilities from the requesting agencies. The
Commission is beginning to set up funding requirements, but this entails going
over budgets, staffing, goals and objectives and benefits to the City of Eden
Prairie. Once the process is established someone will need to monitor the
•
progress of these agencies.
These are just a few of the many projects that need additional time and
effort. Others that I see as current needs are:
- Development, modifying or recommending changes in ordinances and codes
especially:
. rental property upkeep guides
. senior and handicapped housing
. child care issues
. group home locations and codes
- Revamping, redeveloping and updating the Information Guide. A committee
from the Chamber, Caregivers, School, Community Education and the City are
meeting to set up goals, policies, distribution and funding of the
Information Guide.
Jl

•
•
- A transportation needs assessment for senior's regular transportation and
for special populations transportation:
. lobbying with the Regional Transit Board
. Monies for lift vehicles are becoming available through West Metro
Coordinated Transportation. Writing grants, lobbying and establishing a need in Eden Prairie for one of these vehicles.
. updating the transportation manual
. developing guidelines, schedules, routes and possibly hiring drivers for
vehicles
•
- Funds have become available for Community Education Departments to develop
special population programs:
. develop and disseminate a handicapped (developmentally disabled) special
populations needs assessment
. work cooperatively on developing programs
- Public awareness and information workshops sponsored by the Commission
. no fault grievance process
. Child Care Fair co-sponsored with Community Education and Family
Educations Center from 5 cities
- Assessing public health through Metropolitan Visiting Nurses and comparing
services offered by Bloomington Public Health.
These projects alone are a full-time position. I am finding myself unable to
spend worthwhile time with any of these projects because of the normal job of
human service, senior center and special populations position. The._Senior
Center has grown rapidly. Another 52 unit apartment building is going in next
year and Ebenezer expects to fill the 125 units at Castle Ridge by next year.
PROP is taking an more projects, but as these grow assistance will be needed
from the City.
I feel the position is at a point where I am constantly reacting to calls or
requests from Seniors, staff, Council or Commission. There is not adequate
time to work on the above projects or outline or plan actions to be taken.
•
I would like to discuss with you splitting the position into two positions; a
•
Human Services Coordinator and a Senior Center Coordinator. This split should
be done as soon as possible for maximum efficiency and continued quality human
services in Eden Prairie.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Manager Carl J. Jullie
SUBJECT: 1986 City Budget Modifications - Public Safety Department
DATE: January 17, 1986
Several weeks ago, I requested the Public Safety Department management team to
review in detail the 1986 City Budget for their department. I asked them to be
very careful to understand what the budget allotments are and that expenditures
must be monitored closely to help eliminate any potential overruns. Acting
Director Keith Wall and Fire Chief Ron Johnson have met with other staff members
to discuss and thoroughly review the 1986 Public Safety Department budget.
After considering the information and input provided by everyone involved we
have decided that several modifications of various line items would be
appropriate to better meet the needs of the department for 1966. The
recommended changes are as indicated on the attached sheets.
The proposed changes in the operational Police Division Budget affect individual
line items, but the bottom line total of S1,500,700 remains unchanged. Proposed
changes in the Police equipment purchases will result in a deduction of about
$61,000.
The proposed changes in the Fire Division equipment budget likewise involve
amendments to various line items. The amended bottom line total is $91,400,
which is an $8,000 increase.
Another '86 budget amendment we are requesting involves item #4393 "Rentals" in
the Community Services - Forestry budget. The amount of $6,000 should be
amended to be $33,000 which reflects the cost of renting the County's chipping
machine. Through some mis-communication, this item was not properly accounted
for in the budget approval process.
It is recommended that the Council authorize the 1986 Budget modifications as
per this memorandum. The net impact on the '86 City Budget is a decrease of
$26,075.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services Tit
DATE: January 16, 1986
SUBJECT: Miller Park Revised Concept Plan
During the summer of 1985, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission and the City Council reviewed and eventually approved a concept
plan for the development of Miller Park. That plan depicted four lighted
softball fields, four youth baseball fields, and five lighted football/soccer
fields. The development was accomplished with acquistion of approximately 30
acres south of the existing 72 acre park.
At that time, there was some concern from the Soccer Association because the
City Needs Study Committee had determined that six lighted soccer fields would
be required in the next five years, and the plan was criticized by the
Baseball Association because the City Needs Study Committee recommended a
complex of six youth baseball fields. The proposed plan had five soccer
fields and four baseball fields.
The plan was also opposed by several residents north of the site because of
the heavy amount of traffic that would be generated by softball, baseball and
soccer players. The residents were also concerned with the amount of lighting
at that site and wanted to be assured that the major access to the site would
be directly from County Road 4, rather than through the Timber Lakes
neighborhood.
Several weeks after the concept plan had been approved by the City Council,
the Community Services Department was notified of a more definitive alignment
of Highway 212 that indicated the highway would be approximately 30D' further
north than previously anticipated. This new alignment precluded the proposed
30 acre development to the south; therefore, the staff went "back to the
drawing board".
At the November 4, 1985 meeting, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission reviewed several sites within the community that were proposed as
options for athletic facilities. The majority of the sites were rejected due
to the excessive estimated development costs or the poor access to the sites.
The majority of the those sites were outside the MUSA line.
The Commission requested staff to pursue the option of developing a plan for
the acquisition of approximately 24 acres east of the existing Miller Park
property and to limit the development of Miller Park to six youth baseball
fields and six lighted soccer/football fields, along with other community park
ammenities such as picnic facilities, boat launch, skating rinks, etc. The
Commission also requested the staff to draft a concept plan for the
development of a softball field complex on approximately 30 acres immediately
south of County Road 1 and west of Spring Road.
A copy of the concept plan for Miller Park depicting acquistion of 24 acres to
the east is attached to this memo. Residents surrounding the Miller Park site
were notified of the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission review
of the site at their December 16th meeting. A copy of the Miller Park revised
plan was also sent to presidents of the Eden Prairie Soccer Association, Eden
Prairie Hockey Association, Eden Prairie Baseball Association, Eden Prairie
Football Association, and the Eden Prairie Soccer club. Staff requested that
representatives of those various associations comment on the proposed
revision.
MILLER PARK REVISED PLAN
This plan offers the following benefits:
I. Provides frontage on County Road 4.
2. Provides the six lighted soccer/football fields and the six youth
baseball fields in one complex as recommended the City Needs Study
Committee.
3. Eliminates the lighted softball fields, which would provide the
majority of the traffic for this site (3 games per night on each
field).
4. Reduces the number of lighted facilities on this particular site.
Several residents were in attendance at the December 16th meeting. One
resident opposed the development of any active use areas on this site and
suggested the site be "left in its natural condition". The majority of the
residents agreed the revised plan was an improvement over the original concept
plan due to the reduction in lighted facilities, and to the access from County
Road 4. Representatives from the Soccer Association, the Football
Association, and the Soccer Club all strongly supported the revised concept
plan. There was no comment from representatives of the Hockey Association or
the Baseball Association.
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommended approval of
the revised concept plan by a unanimous vote.
The Community Services staff recommend approval of the concept plan for Miller
Park and request the City Council authorize staff to begin negotiation for
acquisition of the 24 acre parcel located east of the site.

Kingrey asked if there will be lighting in the parking lots. Beck
said that there will be some security lighting.
Lambert said that he is concerned with the natural hill on the •
northeast end of the site being removed which would bring a noise •
impact from 494.
Kingrey feels as much of the hill as possible should be retained.
He asked what would be gained by removing the hill. Beck said that •
it would be used for fill.
Cook made references to the retaining wall which is to be located
on the west side of the building. Beck said that the planning
staff suggested berming instead, but the developer feels a
retaining wall will be more conducive to tree planting.
Cook asked if the amount of caliper inches of trees being replaced
has been increased since the staff report was written. Beck said
that the change occurred when staff classified the building as two
story instead of one story which increased the amount of plantings
necessary. Be belives this requirement has been agreed to.
Kingrey said he feels that there is an overuse of bermings in some
of the recent construction and if the retaining wall is not too
high, he feels it would work out well.
Kingrey asked if the county would pick up the right-of-way for a
sidewalk. Lambert said the county would pick up the space for an
8' bike trail.
MOTION: Baker moved to recommend approval of the Normandale Tennis
Club per staff report and strongly advises the developer to
preserve as much of the hill as possible. Cook seconded the motion
and it passed 4-0.

Lambert said that a letter was sent to residents of the area, as
well as representatives of the athletic associations. Lambert
received several letters and visits from residents who gave their
opinion on the Miller Park concept plan.
The original plan for park development included four lighted
softball fields, four youth baseball fields and five lighted
football/soccer fields. The Needs Study Committee was concerned
because they determined six lighted soccer fields would be required
in the next five years and there was some opposition by residents
who were concerned about the amount of traffic that would be
generated and the amount of lighting on the site. Also, several
weeks after the original plan was approved, the proposed final
alignment of Hwy. 212 was received. The alignment was nearly 300
feet north of the previous alignment which eliminated the
possibility of acquiring land south of the existing park. At this
time, staff began looking at several options. After the commission
toured the sites, they requested staff to limit the development of
the park to youth baseball and soccer. The revised concept plan •
under consideration includes six lighted soccer fields, six youth
baseball fields, a boat launch, tennis courts, picnic areas,
skating rink, hockey rink and shelter.
kLambert summarized a letter which he received from residents.
Rose Marie Schoenberger of 8074 Timber Lakes Dr. supports the plan,
but is concerned with traffic on the access road. David Knaak of
7935 S. Bay Curve strongly supports the plan. E.G. Telereeve of
8050 Timber Lakes Dr. feels it would be better use of this area if
a nature park were provided. Pat Minton whose address was
unavailable supports the plan, but is concerned with public access
and wants it limited to small boats under 10 horsepower and less.
Shaw asked how parking areas on this plan compare to the original
plan. Lambert said that there are standards for each type of
facility, but there are less parking requirements on the revised
plan because of the elimination of softball fields.
Baker asked if the hockey rink had been moved east as discussed at
the last meeting. Lambert said that after closely reviewing this
possibility, it was decided that it would not work out well.
Representatives of the hockey association felt that the complex
should be capable of supporting a bubble in the future for indoor
hockey activity.
The Eden Prairie Soccer Club supports the complex as offered and
feels an indoor facility should be planned for future construction
needed since the closest one available at this time is in
Maplewood.

David Burton of 8012 Timber Lakes Dr. asked why the complex is
being built on lakeshore when it could be built anywhere else.
Lambert said that flat agricultural land is usually chosen for a
facility such as this. When the original plan was approved by the
Council, staff went back and looked at land both inside and outside
the MUSA line. Of the six options, some land was too expensive or
the land was rolling and would require extensive grading. Lambert
feels that active and passive uses can work well together in one
park. Round Lake Park is a good example.
Kingrey asked what Burton's idea of a good use for this land would
be. Burton said he just feels that there could be better use for
lakeshore than a sports complex.
Jim Ostenson of 11291 Bur Ridge Lane who is a representative of the
football association feels that this facility will be a good family
site since there will be activities for all members of the family
at the same time. He supports the total park-athletic complex.
Ostenson asked if there would be storage or maint•anance sheds on
the site. Lambert said yes, they would be incorporated into the
concessions.
Burton asked what advantage there would be for people to use Timber
Lakes Drive as an access to the park. Lambert said there is a City
policy of two ways in and two ways out of a neighborhood.
Kingrey said he believes that for fire and safety purposes, Timber
Lakes Drive needs to be used as an access.
Ken Opalsinski of 8076 Timber Lakes Dr. asked if Timber Lakes Dr.
could be designated for local traffic only. Lambert said that it
could not be designated as such on a permanent basis.
Kingrey suggested that a no left turn sign be erected on this
street. Lambert asked why. Kingrey replied that if there is a
problem with thru traffic, there is no need for this to be a
connector street. Lambert disagreed stating that Timber Lakes Dr.
was designed as a collector and should provide a second way north
for park users.
The representative from the soccer association said he feels that
most people will take the shortest way into the park which would be
from County Road 4.
Mike Wursto said the soccer association strongly supports this plan
and the possibility of having indoor soccer facilities in the
future.
Mark Weber of 7966 Timber Lakes Dr. asked when the fields will be
used the most. Lambert said that the greatest use will be for
spring soccer in May and June, for fall soccer from June thru fall
and for football in the fall.

Weber asked if there would be directional signs on County Road 4
pointing to the park. Lambert said yes.
Tom Bierman, President of the Youth Soccer Association said that
the fields at Flying Cloud can be taken away with 90 days notice
and are considered temporary and that the Park Board and
Bob Lambert should be congratulated for thinking ahead to future
needs. He feels that since Eden Prairie's population is growing
and we are basically a young community and the youth soccer
association is the largest athletic association in Eden Prairie,
this complex will be a good thing for the youth of the community
and should also bring up the value of homes adjacent to the park.
Shaw commented that he has driven in and looked at the site and
asked what other uses this land would have if the athletic complex
were not built. Lambert said that 24 acres would probably be used
for multi-family homes.
Shaw asked if the lake side belongs to the city. Lambert said yes.
Shaw added that Round Lake is the best looking facility of this
type he has seen.
Burton said he is not concerned with the daytime activities at the
complex, but is concerned with the traffic going thru the
neighborhood.
Ostenson, who works for the Tandem Corporation, said that they have
purchased 240 acres south of this property which will be developed
within about two years so there will be additional access from the
park in the future.
Baker said he looks forward to the time that the DNR will assist
the City with management of the lake since he feels the lake has
good potential.
MOTION: Shaw moved to recommend approval of the revised concept
plan for Miller Park, but to consider limiting the size of motors
on the lake. Baker seconded the motion. Asking for discussion on
the motion, Jessen asked Lambert if he has heard anything from' the
DNR regarding boat limitation on the lake. Lambert said no. The
motion passed 6-0.
VIII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Indication of Revised Language in Minutes
Kingrey expressed concern that the City Council does not see the
revisions that are made in the minutes since they see only the
unapproved version. He asked if changes could be italicized or
capitalized so the Council would be made aware of them.

MILLER PARK CONCEPT PLAN 1
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services— .
DATE: January 16, 1986
SUBJECT: Eden Prairie Community Center Litigation
Attached, for your review, is a letter from Setter, Leach & Lindstrom Inc.
City staff contacted this firm to review the Twin City Testing results on
water damage and causes at the Eden Prairie Community Center. Prior to going
to court, the City must determine damages. This can best be done by having an
architect actually prepare plans and specifications to repair the damage and
correct the existing faults with the building. When plans and specifictions
are completed, the City can then receive bids on the project and determine
exactly what it will cost to repair the building.
The Twin City Testing reports indicate that a sealer can be applied to the
exterior block walls after the existing paint is removed, either chemically or
through a sand blasting process. Once the sealer is applied, it will prevent
90-95% of the moisture from penetrating the block; however, they also point
out that the City would have to plan on reapplying a sealer every 5-10 years
in order to maintain that level of effectiveness.
Twin City Testing also indicates that the most effective way to prevent the
water problem is to apply either a face brick on the exterior of the building
or a sheathing that would prevent any water transfer and would be a permanent
solution.
Obviously, the City paid for a building that did not leak; however, the City
did not pay for a brick building, therefore, if the City were to decide to
apply a face brick to the building the City would incur additional costs above
and beyond the cost to repair the block building. Mr. Wilwerding proposes to
prepare a report which would list the relative advantages and disadvantages of
the various solutions, as well as their comparative costs. They would also
recommend a specific solution for each of the problems. This information is
also necessary for the City's law suit in order to determine damages.
Staff recommends the City Council enter into a contract with Setter, Leach and
Lindstrom for an amount not to exceed $18,00D for schematic design phase of
this project that would include a report listing the advantages and
disadvantages of the various solutions for repairing the Community Center, and
their comparative costs.
Upon receiving the schematic design report, the Council will then make a
decision on which solution the City will follow. Design development and
construction documents will then be prepared based on that decision. The
contract for design development, construction documents, bidding, etc. will be
a separate contract from the schematic design contract.

Re: Eden Prairie Community Center
Dear Roger:
Thank you very much for the informative meeting of Friday, January 3. I
believe that the conversation did much to clear up various ambiguities
relative to the nature of architectural services requested by Eden Prairie for
this project.
Even though this work is remedial, we feel that it should be executed in a
manner generally similar to the design of a conventional building. This
approach will permit decisions regarding the repair to be made methodically on
an pas needed" basis. We would, therefore, propose that this work be
accomplished in phases; Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction
Documents, Bidding, and Construction Administration.
Schematic Design
Although you have already commissioned two reports from Twin City Testing, we
believe that the project should still begin with a thorough investigation of
the problems and that several alternatives be proposed to solve them. We
would review the existing contract documents, Twin City Testing reports, and
conduct site visits. The result of this investigative phase will be a report
which will list the relative advantages and disadvantages of the various
solutions as well as their comparative costs. We will recommend a specific
solution for each of the problems.
This report would be reviewed with the Eden Prairie staff, yourself, and other
public officials of Eden Prairie as necessary to ensure that a mutually
satisfactory decision is made regarding corrective measures needed in each
area. We recommend a mutual decision as several factors affect the
decision-making process other than the obvious one of solution permanance.
Cost, time to accomplish, and disruption to the operation of the facility are
other obvious factors; all of which we think the owner may be better qualified
to consider due to their familiarity with the building operation.

Design Development
Following the schematic design phase, we would then proceed with a more
detailed study of the selected approach. In this phase we would reevaluate
and refine the cost of the repair; and review the solution to ensure that all
details will satisfactorily accomplish its intended task. We would expect the
result of this phase of the work to be a detailed description of the selected
solutions to the various problems this building experiences plus a more
detailed estimate of the anticipated cost.
Construction Documents
Following review of this detailed solution, we would prepare drawings which
would communicate this information for public bidding. At this time, we see
no reason why the contract documents should not be bid as a single contract
for construction. These drawings would be prepared to provide as much
detailed information as possible, the extent of the problem and the
appropriate solution to it.
Bid/Award
After review and approval of the final construction documents, we would assist
you in the bid/award phase. Although you will probably be required to
publicly bid the work, we would suggest considering a prequalification process
to insure that contractors bidding this work have some knowledge and expertise
specifically related to this problem.
Construction Administration
During construction, careful control and coordination will be required to
minimize the impact on the use of the building. We would, therefore, propose
weekly job site meetings with representatives of the City, the contractors and
Setter, Leach 8 Lindstrom to ensure proper construction coordination and
sequencing of the work. Due to the nature of the problems experienced on this
building, we would also propose to Eden Prairie that Setter, Leach 8 Lindstrom
be retained to visit the job site approximately two times per week so that it
can be adequately verified that the work is progressing as intended on the
contract documents.
Fees
We would prefer to do this work on an hourly basis according to the fee
schedule enclosed. We estimate, however, that our fee for the schematic
design phase only will probably cost between $16,000 and $18,000 but may vary
depending on the problems and solution alternatives. We should also note that
we would feel much more confident in establishing a maximum fee for the

remaining phases of the work; that is, design development, construction
documents, bidding and construction administration services; following
completion of the schematic design phase. Our fees relative to any litigation
would be hourly with no maximum.
In closing, we feel that our proposal represents a rational, methodical
approach to rectify a rather unfortunate problem as expeditiously as possible.
Sincerely,
Cackt".

INTRODUCTIDN
11 This report presents the results of the field and laboratory testing work per-
formed by our firm on the perimeter concrete block walls, Natatorium roof,
Iand concrete deck of the swimming pool at the Eden Prairie Community Center
in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The scope of our work was limited to the follow-
ing:
.11
1. Performing a condition survey to document the existing construction
of the perimeter concrete block walls and roof construction.
31 2. Performing waterspray testing at selected locations to document
the water penetration resistance of the masonry walls, skylight
area, and wall cap flashing.
3. Reviewing the hollow-sounding condition in the concrete deck at
the northeast corner of the swimming pool to judge the cause of in-
ternal delamination.
4. Performing laboratory testing on mortar and block samples removed
from the project to document their compliance with the project
specifications.
31 5. Documenting the effectiveness of three waterproofing systems to
reduce water infiltration through the exterior walls.
31 Based on the results of the above work, we were requested to judge the causeis)
of the water leakage occurring in the perimeter walls and and hollow-sounding
31 present in the concrete deck of the swimming pool. We were also requested
1
to provide recommendations for necessary remedial work.

CONCLUSIONS
(cont.)
Although a block filler/paint coat was present on the exterior
1111 surface of the perimeter, our past testing (TCT Laboratory No.
4-4398 dated Aug 24, 1983) indicated the block filler to be too
"thin". Further, the material did not bridge across the pores
on the surface of the lightweight concrete block units. Suction
111 testing done on the block surfaces with and without filler coating
indicated no significant difference in suction rate of the block
units.
2. Other contributing factors to the water leakage at localized loca-
tions are as follows:
1
A. Improper Installation of Expansion Joints
Our field observations found the following conditions to be
present in the expansion joints:
1) The raked mortar bed joints were recessed by 3/8". However,
31 the caulking in the expansion joint was flush with the
block surface. As a result, the bond surface of the caulking
Ji material in the expansion joint was significantly reduced
at the bed joint locations. Bond failure due to an inade-
I
quate thickness of caulking material at the bed joints was
observed throughout the majority of the expansion joints.
2) Mortar was found in some of the expansion joints. In addi-
tion, wire reinforcement for the bed joint was also found to

CONCLUSIONS

2. A. 2) extend across the expansion joints at several locations.
These conditions would prevent the free movement of the
walls at the expansion joints and, as a result, could induce
vertical cracks at some other locations in the walls.
B. Unsealed Joints Around Scuppers and Ventilation Vents
The majority of the scuppers and ventilation vents were found
to be unsealed around their perimeter. Some of the joints
around the perimeter of these openings were as wide as 1".
Water would travel directly to the interior of the masonry
r
walls at these open joints. Our waterspray testing indicated
water leakage to occur immediately upon spraying the unsealed
perimeter.
I C. Wall Cap Flashing
The horizontal surfaces of the existing wall cap flashings
were found to be relatively flat and were concave-shaped.
These conditions would allow water accumulation to occur on top
3 1 of the cap flashing. The ponding water would not only accelerate
3 ! corrosion of the sheet metal, but would also aggrevate leakage
at the joints of the cap flashing.
7j ! Our waterspray testing indicated water leakage to occur at the
joints of the wall cap flashing. The wall cap flashing was

1" in width at the joints. At the corners of the metal strap
where the members have to turn 90°, the strip was cut to accommo-
date the turn. This cut location would allow water to migrate
to the interior of the walls, particularly with water ponding
occurring on the horizontal surface.
3
D. Unfilled Mortar Joints at Isolated Locations
Our observations found a few of the mortar joints (both
head and bed joints) were not filled with mortar at some iso-
lated locations. These would also provide direct entry points
11 I
for water to infiltrate to the interior of the building.
31 E. Cracking in Masonry Walls
Vertical wall cracking was present at some locations in the
perimeter walls. The majority of the wall cracking occurred
a i at the building corners and near expansion joints which were
J ! filled with mortar. In general, no expansion joints were provid-
le
ed at the corners of the existing building. The Brick Institute
of American and the National Concrete Masonry Association recom-
mended expansion/control joints be provided at these locations
3 i to relieve the tensile stress induced by the directional movement
of the intersecting walls.

Laboratory No. 4124 86-195 Page 7
CONCLUSIONS
(cont.)
3. Spelling of concrete block units was also noted in a few locations,
particularly above scuppers and ventilation vents. This distress
( was due to the accumulation of water in the base of the block walls.
{ Freezing and thawing cycles of the trapped water/moisture gradually
disintegrated the concrete matrix of the block units. This distress
was noted to become more severe as more spalling was noted in our ob-
servations during this past year. It is our opinion that this
spalling will increase in severity if no corrective action is taken.
1
4. Our waterspray testing suggested water leakage present at the sky-
ir
( light area generally occurred through a) the concrete block units
and b) the caulk joints along the perimeter. Water penetrated
through the concrete block wall above the skylight and accumulated
at the base of the wall. Then the leaking water traveled along the
diagonal tubing supporting the skylight. The caulk joints along
the perimeter of the skylight were another leakage point which
contributed to the water leakage at this region. Due to the 3/8"
deep scores present in the block units, extreme care and skillful
workmanship are needed to provide a watertight caulk joint at the
perimeter of the skylight.
The caulk joints in the skylight generally displayed no signs of
water leakage. The caulking in these joints, however, displayed
minor surface cracking or checking and deterioration due to weather-
i

ing. The distress, however, did not extend the entire thickness
of the caulking.

t:1 5. The built-up roof on the Natatorium roof deck appeared to be in gen-
—1 erally good condition with no observable defects. Water ponding,
however, was observed along the south and east sides of the roof
section. No signs of water infiltration, however, were observed
in these locations. It is our opinion that the water staining pres-
Jent on the south end of the ceiling in the Natatorium and at the
1011 drain pipe locations were caused by water leakage through the cap
t flashing construction. the leakage locations in the ceiling and at
the drain pipes generally occurred in the vicinity of the perimeter
walls. It is also our opinion that water infiltrated through the
cap flashing and traveled down to the roof deck. This was noted
11 by wet insulation at the water leakage location on the roof deck.
6. Laboratory testing indicated the application of a water repellent
masonry coating would reduce but not completely eliminate water
penetration through the concrete block masonry. Testing of two
cementitious coating systems (Thoroseal and Tamoseal) indicated
the leakage to be reduced by approximately 90-95%. Testing of a pene-
trating sealer indicated a reduction of water leakage of only approx-
imately 50'. However, it should be noted that the sealer was applied
t on the existing block surface without removing the existing block

6. filler and paint vents. The penetrating ability of the sealer would
be significantly reduced due to the presence of a paint coating.
31 Since the testing was done on small samples, we suggest further
testing be done on-site when the coating is actually applied.
31 The testing should be done after the coating is applied to a test
area measuring about 10' x 10'. Testing would be performed using
a spray chamber mounted to the building. in this way, those condi-
tions which may be present in the wall and which may not have been
present in the small samples tested in the laboratory, could be in-
cluded in the test.
3
Cavity Wall (South, Southeast and East Walls of Natatorium)
' The perimeter block walls at the Natatorium were of cavity wall construction.
The 4" thick exterior block wythe of the cavity walls displayed significant
lateral bowing measuring up to 1". The lateral bowing could be caused by an
inadequate number of anchors installed between the interior and exterior
block wythes. Test cuts made at the most severely bowed locations showed
1 ` no masonry anchors to be present. In accordance with the project specifica-
Itions and drawings, a "Our-O-Wall" type reinforcing wire connecting the
4 exterior and interior block wythes should have been present at every other block
] course, except at the top three block courses where the spacing of the wire
reinforcement was reduced to 8". Oue to the limits of our work scope in
this testing program, no further review was done to document the existing

block anchor conditions. Further testing is suggested to document and judge
the adequacy of the anchorage systems present in these cavity walls.
•
Severe mortar spalling was also found to be present at the top portions
of the veneer walls. Our laboratory testing indicated that the mix propor-
tions of the mortar at these locations were not in compliance with the proj-
ect
specifications. Our testing revealed the mortar to contain a lime content
ten times higher than the specified proportions for a Type "S" grade.
This would significantly reduce the compressive strength and water resistance
of the mortar.
Concrete Oeck at Northeast Corner of Swimming Pool
Hollow sounding concrete was found to be present at the northeast corner
of the swimming pool. The unsound area measured approximately 1 1/2' x 2 1/2'
in plan dimension. Coring work done at these locations revealed the hollow
sounding was a result of bond failure between the concrete and grout layers
at this region. Two different grout layers measuring up to 1/2n in thickness
were present at this location. One grout layer consisted of fine sand aggre-
gate, while the other grout layer consisted of coarse sand aggregate. We
found no bond to be developed between the grout and concrete layers.
Refer to the "Photographs" section of this report for typical conditions
encountered during our field observation and testing work.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. In our opinion, the following repair options are available. The repair
approach to be selected would depend on cost (both initial and mainte-
nance), success probability, difficulty of repair, life expectancy,
31 and aesthetic appearance.
31 A. Application of a Cementitious Water Repellent Coating System
Our testing suggested both cementitious water repellent coating
systems tested (Thoroseal and Tomoseal) to be quite successful •
I in reducing the amount of leaking water. However, it should be
noted that this type of repair approach would significantly reduce
but not eliminate all of the leaking water. We recommend the exist-
ing block surface be sandblasted to remove the paint coat in order
to develop a good bond between the wall surface and the new water-
proofing coating. Application of the water repellent system should
then be done in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Also, the coating system should be considered as a maintenance
item and should be reapplied in a time frame recommended by the
manufacturer.
B. Installation of a New Skin on Exterior Walls
1 This type of repair would include installing a new skin (that is,
block or brick veneer, stucco, siding, stone cladding, etc) on the
exterior walls.
The quality of much of the repair work is important to minimize/reduce
water leakage. We recommend on-site review

that the repair was done using proper workmanship and materials.
2. All the expansion joints which do not have room for movement should
be repaired by removing all mortar and debris within the joints, cutting
the wire reinforcement which may extend across the joint openings,
and recaulking the expansion joints at the failed locations to provide
a watertight joint.

1 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of the field observation and testing work per-
formed by our firm on the perimeter concrete block walls and the Natatorium roof
1 at the Eden Prairie Community Center, Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The scope of
1 our work was limited to the following activities:
1. Reviewing the anchorage system of the south, southeast and east veneer
1 block walls at the Natatorium section which displayed outward bowing distress.
1 2. On-site testing of two waterproofing systems to judge their effectiveness
in reducing water leakage through the single wythe perimeter concrete block
walls.
1
3. Performing a moisture survey of the roof above the Natatorium section.
The above work was performed during the period of October 17 through November 27,
1985.
Based on the results of the above testing work, we were requested to comment
on: 1) the cause of the bowing distress occurring in the cavity walls, 2) the
31 effectiveness of the waterproofing systems, and 3) the condition of the insulation
under the built-up roof. We were also requested to provide recommendations for
1 necessary remedial action.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our observation and test results, as well as our experience on similar
projects, our comments and opinions are as follows:
1. South, Southeast, and East Cavity Walls of Natatorium Section -
The bowing distress present in these cavity walls was the result of an in-
adequate amount of masonry anchorage connecting the interior back-up block
wall and the exterior block veneer in the top portion of the walls. During
our review, the following conditions were found:
a. According to the project drawings( Sheet S6, dated September 2, 1985)
and specifications (Volume 2, dated September 2, 1985) Our-o-wal wire
reinforcement was designed to provide anchorage between the exterior
veneer and the interior back-up block wall. In the south wall,Dur-o-
wal wire reinforcement should be present in every mortar joint in the
top 3 courses and should then be spaced at every other mortar joint.
Our testing work indicated no masonry anchors were present in the top
5' portion of this wall. Although corrugated masonry strap anchors were
present in the second mortar joint from the roof line, the severely de-
teriorated condition of the mortar at this location prohibited effective
anchorage between the interior and exterior block wythes.
b. The Dur-o-wal wire reinforcement were found to be spaced at every third
mortar joint from the 8th block course below the roof line in the south
wall. This construction deviated from the specifications which required
Dur-o-wal reinforcement in every other mortar joint.

ICONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS (cont)
c. In the east wall, no Our-o-wal wire reinforcement was detected in the
12th and 13th mortar joints from the top of the wall. In accordance
with detail 2/S6, wire reinforcement should be installed in these joints.
I
d. The detail 2/S6 did not clearly show the anchorage system for the upper
12 courses of the east concrete block veneer. Our test cuts made on
the wall indicated no masonry anchors to be present in this region.
We did observe a dovetail anchor slot in the concrete beam between the
8th and 11th block courses from the top. No achors, however, were in-
stalled at the test cut locations.
e. Our previous test cut made at the top portion of the southeast wall showed
no masonry anchors to be present. Again, detail 6/S6 did not indicate
111 the anchorage system in this wall.
f. The detail 3/S6 and 6/S6 also indicated #3 vertical reinforcing steel
.1111 bars to be spaced 24" apart in the top portion of the south and southeast
walls. This reinforcing was to be installed in the exterior 4" veneer.
Detail 2/S6 indicated vertical steel in the top portion of the east wall.
A detailed description of the vertical reinforcing steel, however, was
not shown. Our testing work using a pachometer indicated no vertical
reinforcing steel to be present in the top portion of these walls.
g. Refer to sheets 3-1 to 3-3 for details of the wall sections.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS (cont)
1
The bowed portions of the concrete block veneer walls should be removed and
11 replaced due to inadequate masonry anchors. Adequate masonry anchors should
•
be designed and installed to restrain the lateral movement. We recommend
this work be executed as soon as practical to prevent further lateral wall
111 movement and subsequent failure of the veneer walls.
The surface corrosion condiiton of the Dur-o-wal wire reinforcing at our
test cut locations indicated the steel wire to be corroding. Corrective
11 action should be taken to minimize water/moisture infiltration through the
block veneer. Failure to retard moisture infiltration could lead to further
corrosion of the Dur-o-wal reinforcing and subsequent failure of the block
veneer. Upon completion of the masonry anchor repair, we recommend the ex-
terior surface of all block veneers be treated with a waterproofing system
Ato minimize water infiltration.
2. Waterproofing Systems Over the Exterior Wall Surface -
ATwo cementitious waterproofing systems identified as Tamoseal and Thoroseal
were used on the test areas. A finish coating identified as Sonnaborn was
used to match the existing color of the masonry. Water spray testing work
performed at the test area indicated no significant water leakage through
the concrete block wall after being coated with the waterproofing systems.
Our testing work also suggested that both waterproofing systems would be
considered effective in minimizing water infiltration.. No continual water
..4111
leakage occurred through the concrete block wall at the test locations after
1 to 1-1/2 hours of waterspraying. In comparison, water leakage occurred

through an untreated wall section after 2-1/2 minutes of waterspraying.
I
Although some damp spots were observed in the exposed mortar joints in the
111
exterior face shell after approximately 1/2 hour of watersparying, it is
our judgement that this was caused by water penetration through the random
cracks occurring in the waterproofing material. The cracking was judged
31 to be caused by shrinkage as a result of excessive material build-up in the
raked joints. In our opinion, this condition should be improved by spraying
1 on the material instead of brushing on the material as in our test areas.
In our opinion, spraying would achieve a more uniform coating thickness.
Back-brushing, however, may be needed to optimize coverage of the raked joints
upon completion of spraying.
Both sandblasting and chemical cleaning rnethcds appeared to be effective
311 in preparing the block surface to receive the waterproofing material. Care,
however, should be taken when using the chemical cleaning method to minimize
111 the amount of residue left on the concrete block walls. A significant build-
up of residue could result in peeling of the new coating or efflorescence
111 problems in the future. This could be accomplished by saturating the entire
wall surface prior to applying the chemical cleaning agent. The cleaning
agent should then be rinsed off the wall surface as soon as practical.

3. Roof Above the Natatorium Section -
The insulation in the present roof assembly was in a generally dry condition

walls. Approximately 1100 square feet of the total 11,000 square feet of the
roof area was judged to have wet insulation. This represents 10% of the
total roof area. The most severe condition of wet insulation was found to
111 be along the south wall of the Natatorium. A sketch outlining the areas
which contained wet insulation is shown in the report section entitled "Moisture
illSurvey of the Natatorium Roof".
It is our opinion that the roof should be repaired by removing the wet insu-
lation and reroofing the affected areas. This work should include replacement
of wet insulation with new insulation, removal of the gravel surfacing over
111
the existing "dry" roofing for a minimum distance of 18" and applying a "hot"
bituminous repair. The repair should consist of a 4-ply application of roofing
felts with each succeedinglayer overlappingthe y preceeding layer at the
111 tie-in area. New flashing should be installed in accordance with NRCA re-
commendations. The repair should be accomplished as soon as practical after
the repair of the cap flashing on the perimeter walls in order to minimize
leakage, reduce energy cost and prevent further roof deterioration in wet
.31
areas.
