Dear Joyce:
As I discussed with you on the telephone, I am trying to schedule an
appearance before the city council to present a general update on the
progress and status of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
Ed crozier, the refuge manager, and I would like to present a ten minute
slide show illustrating the refuge's land acquisition status and the
current development of wildlife and recreation programs. We plan to
follow the slide show with 5-10 minutes of discussion and a
question/answer period.
As we discussed we hope to be on the council's agenda for the meeting
on Tuesday, February 18, 1986 and will confirm a time with you in the
coming weeks.
Again, our intention is to provide information to the council and to
answer any questions about the present and future development of the
refuge. Please call if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Tom C. Worthington

City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been
published and property owners within the project vicinity had been
notified.
Bob Vanney, Chip Glaser, and Dick Heise were present to address the
proposal. Vanney asked if the proponents could be given a permit to
begin grading prior to 2nd Reading.
Planning Director Enger said this request had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its meeting on October 17, 1985, at which time
the Commission voted to recommend approval subject to the
recommendations included in the Staff Report of October 4, 1985, and
based on the October 3, 1985, plans including the amended mechanical
screening plans.
Director of Community Services Lambert stated the Parks, Recreation &
Natural Resources Commission had reviewed this request at its meeting
on October 21, 1985, at which time four areas of concern were raised.
These included the trail system, the retaining wall, signage on the
back of the building, and the request of the proponent to have the
cash park fees eliminated. The Commission voted to recommend approval
of the request subject to the recommendations included in the October
4, 1985, Staff Report.
City Council Minutes -4- November 5, 1985
Redpath questionned where trash would be stored. Vanney explained how
this would be handled. Bentley asked about the screening. Enger said
the screening would be similar to that used at Hardees. Peterson
asked about the windows and expressed concern that they be used to
enhance the view rather than as an area where signs might be placed.
Vanney explained the use of the building would be primarily
office/service/retail which would make good use of the windowed areas.
Glaser said the tenants would consist of travel agents, hair stylists,
etc. Anderson asked about the trail. Lambert said the trail should
be similar to the one on West 78th Street. Pidcock asked about the
retaining wall. Lambert said it would be between 13 and 16' high.
Enger said the effect of a "living wall" would be created making this
an acceptable retaining wall.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public
Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 85-248, amending the Comprehensive
Municipal Plan. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to give 1st Reading to
Ordinance No. 35-85. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt Resolution No.
85-250, approving the preliminary plat of Eden Prairie Convenience
Center for K. Charles Development Corporation. Motion carried
unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to direct Staff to
prepare a Developer's Agreement per Staff and Commission recom-
mendations. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to grant an early grading
permit to the proponents with the full proponent's full knowledge that
any grading is being done at their own risk.
Anderson said he would like to make certain the landscaping, including
the timbers and other materials to be used, are reviewed by City
Staff. Pidcock concurred.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
8. HOYT TECH 5, 6, & 7 by Technology Park Associates. Request for
Planned Unit Development District Review, Zoning District change from
Rural to Office on 3.21 acres and 1-2 Park on 9.77 acres, and
preliminary plat of 17.01 acres. Location: east of Golden Triangle
Road and south of Uest 76th Street. (Ordinance No. 36-85-PUD-6-85 -
rezoning from Rural of Office-PUD-6-85 and from Rural to 1-2 Park-PUD-
6-85 and Resolution No. 85-251 - preliminary plat)
City Council Minutes -5- November 5, 1985
City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been
published and property owners within the project vicinity had been
notified.
Brad Hoyt, developer, addressed the request.
Planning Director Enger stated this request had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its meeting on October 7, 1985, and October 28,
1985. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval subject to
the recommendations included in the Staff Reports of October 4, 1985,
and October 25, 1985, and based on plans dated October 23, 1985.
Director of Community Services Lambert said this had been reviewed by
the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission at its meeting on
November 4, 1985, at which time the Commission voted to recommend
approval subject to the recommendations included in the Staff Reports.
Anderson expressed concern about development of the creek corridor.
He questionned the validity of having a five-story building in this
area. He asked if the trail is supposed to tie into another trail.
Lambert said a previous plan had been to keep the creek corridor open;
however, this is now considered to be an urban area -- and, it is an
area with a high line. Lambert stated the trail will connect with the
City's trail system in that area. Pidcock asked if Lambert was
satisfied with the proposed trail system in this area. Lambert
indicated he was.
Bruce Long, representing Cherne Contracting, expressed concern about
Smetana Lane and the property which Cherne awns in that area and will
might become landlocked. Enger said the property is currently
isolated due to the change in the grade. He said it would be
impractical to extend West 76th Street; Smetana Lane will provide the
only access although it will not be a major thoroughfare. Long said
he would like to go on record as requesting Smetana Lane be
constructed to the Cherne property.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the Public
Hearing and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance 36-85-PUD-6-85. Motion
carried with Anderson voting *no".
Anderson said he had been a member of the Long-range Planning
Committee which established the preservation of the Creek valley. He
did not think he could vote in favor of the proposal since it violated
what had been determined to be preserved.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No.
85-251, approving the preliminary plat of Hoyt Tech 5, 6, and 7, for
Technology Park Associates. Motion carried with Anderson and Pidcock
voting "no".
City Council Minutes -6- November 5, 1985
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to direct Staff to
prepare a Developer's Agreement per recommendations of Staff and
Commissions. Motion carried with Anderson voting "no".
C. FLOOD PLAIN ORDINANCE. Amendment to Code and mapping to meet Flood
Insurance Rate Map Criteria (Ordinance No. 37-85)
City Manager Jullie indicated notice of this Public Hearing had been
published.
Planning Director Enger explained that in order to have flood
insurance available in accordance with the regulations of the Federal
Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and the Flood Insurance
Administrator, the City needs to amend its ordinance code in order to
adopt the new Floor Insurance Rate Map by reference. This map
dilineates the updated areas with flood risk. The new maps will be
corrected, official, and available before the earliest renewal of the
flood insurance policies in March of 1986.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Bentley, to close the Public
Hearing and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 37-85. Motion
carried unanimously.
D. PRAIRIE VILLAGE APARTMENTS - Proposed Redevelopment Plan (Resolution
No. 85-243)
Planning Director Enger noted the Planning Commission had reviewed
this proposal and recommended approval of the proposed Redevelopment
Plan at its October 28, 1985, meeting.
City Attorney Pauly stated the City Council must make findings and
approve the proposed Redevelopment Plan before the item can have final
action by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. He said Resolution
No. 85-243 will do that.
Bentley asked if the Council would be approving a tax increment
financing district by adopting this Resolution. Pauly said it would
not, but it would be approving the concept of a tax increment
financing plan.
There were no convents from the audience.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public
Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 85-243, approving the
Redevelopment Plan entitled "Prairie Village Redevelopment Plan and
Tax Increment Plan," dated October 1985. Motion carried unanimously.
City Council Minutes -7- November 5, 1985
E. DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENT VACATION IN PRALLE ADDITION (Resolution
No. 85-255)
City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been
published and notices had been mailed to owners of the two affected
properties as well as the utility companies.
Director of Public Works Dietz addressed the vacation and noted it was
a housekeeping matter.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public
Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 85-255, approving the vacation of
a drainage and utility easement on Lots 4 and 6, Block 3, Paulsen's
Addition. Motion carried unanimously.
F. REQUEST FOR MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS IN THE AMOUNT OF
$6,200,000 FOR EDEN SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER (Resolution No. 85-228)
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing was
published. Jullie noted this project has not been reviewed by the
Planning Commission; however, the proponent desires early action on
the request to avoid possible adverse changes in the laws relating to
the use of MID8s. The proponent is seeking $6.2 million in Mins for
construction of a 90,000 square foot shopping mall on the northeast
quadrant of the intersection of Prairie Center Drive and Highway #169.
Redpath asked Finance Director Frane if the City had established a
priority system for handling MIOBs. Frane said none of the City's cap
is allocated to this request.
Bentley asked if this is carried over into next year, would the
Council's preliminary approval give the proponent first bid on next
year's cap. Frane said he did not believe it would; the City makes no
representation to that effect.
Ken Norwich, Miller Schroeder, said there is some consideration that
there might be some change in the law for next year. If the proponent
can get the approval this year and the bonds are sold, then the
proponent will be protected by the present law. Norwich stated this
is an economically viable project. He said approval is contingent
upon zoning approval.
Frane asked if the Norwich's client was aware that the City's Council
granting of the MIDBs did not indicate an assurance that subsequent
approvals involving the development of the property were being given
and the client was doing this at his own risk. Norwich said they were
aware of this.
City Council Minutes -8- November 5, 1985
Enger said the Council has not yet seen this proposal. He wanted the
Council to know that this is a strip mall and the City has had a long-
standing policy against strip malls.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public
Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 85-228, giving preliminary
approval to a project under the Municipal Industrial Development Act,
referring the proposal to the Minnesota Department of Energy and
Economic Development for approval, and authorizing preparation of
necessary documents; the adoption of this Resolution does not
constitute a guarantee or a firm commitment that the city will issue
the bonds as requested by the Developer; if zoning is not forthcoming,
the City will not issue the bonds. Motion carried unanimously.
VI. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS NOS. 23388 - 23718
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to approve the Payment of
Claims Nos. 23388 - 23718. Roll call vote: Anderson, Bentley, Pidcock,
Redpath, and Peterson voted "aye". Motion carried unanimously.
VII. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS
There were none.
VIII. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. William Gilk request for administrative division
City Manager Jullie called attention to Director of Public Works Dietz
memorandum of October 31, 1985, in which this matter was addressed.
Dietz spoke to the issues raised in his memorandum.
William Gilk, proponent, addressed the request.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson, to approve the request
of William Gilk for an administrative division of property which he
owns north of Scenic Heights adjacent to the "School Pond" near
Central Middle School.
Bentley asked what would happen if the Council did not vote to grant
the division. Gilk said he would be left with an unbuildable lot.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
City Council Minutes -9- November 5, 1985
B. Request from Kelly R. Sharkey to discuss City's Housing Code
Pidcock said she would abstain from discussion on this item because
she is involved in litigation with Sharkey.
Peterson said Sharkey believes that the City's Housing Code is
inadequate and asked to discuss this with the Council.
Sharkey reviewed the experiences he and his family had while living in
a rental unit for three years. He said he believed the City should
have a Housing Code such as those in effect in Bloomington and St.
Louis Park. He said he thought the tenants in Eden Prairie deserved
this type of protection; he stated that tenants should have rights
also.
Peterson asked about the absence of a housing code in the City. City
Attorney Pauly said there is no provision in the present City Code
that spells out the rights and privileges of a tenant versus a
landlord. He said this might be an area which the Council would like
to have explored.
Redpath said he would like to have the Staff study the issue and also
look into provisions for inspecting houses before they are sold which
is something that is done in some other communities in the area.
Bentley said he would like to find out what the City's responsi-
bilities, obligations, liabilities, etc. are relative to the enactment
of a city housing code.
Anderson said he believed it was important to have a housing code and
said it was something which the Human Rights and Services Commission
should take a look at.
Peterson said he did not know what the costs would be to administrate
such a code. Anderson said he thought that was one of the issues
which could be consider by the Human Rights and Services Commission.
Bentley said he believed the first question to be answered was a legal
one -- does the City even want to get into this area in term of
liability. City Manager Jullie stated there are provisions already in
the City Code which would protect the tenant.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to instruct Staff and
the City Attorney to explore what is involved in a housing code and to
report back to the Council by the January 21, 1986, meeting of the
City Council. Motion carried with Pidcock abstaining.
IX. REPORTS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS
There were none.
City Council Minutes -10- November 5, 1985
X. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS & COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Council Members
Bentley - outlined the parameters to be used in the evaluation form
for review of the City Manager. He said the procedure to be used will
follow that used by the School District; the manager should be
reviewed as a reflection of the City's performance; specific personnel
problems will be excluded; performance to other communities is to be
avoided; and input from the other members of the Council will be
helpful in putting together the evaluation form. Each member of the
Council would submit the evaluation forms to the Mayor who would
compile the rating points. The evaluation would then be reviewed at a
regular or special meeting of the Council. The review sheets would be
submitted to the City Manager after the public review for his own
personal analysis and then the review sheets would be kept in the
Manager's personnel file. This is the method used by the School
District. Bentley said it is going to be difficult to make
comparisons this year, but future evaluations should include criteria
for such comparisons.
Anderson said he would like to commend Bentley and Pidcock for
their work on this.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Pidcock, to continue work on the
evaluation form at the next meeting of the City Council. Motion
carried unanimously.
Peterson - noted there will be a meeting at 9 a.m. on Thursday,
November 7, 1985, at the Fire Station regarding the County's plans for
Baker Road.
Anderson said he objects to the meeting because only a couple of
neighborhoods are involved. He said that a 9 a.m. meeting on a
Thursday precludes 99% of the population from being there.
Redpath said the St. John Woods residents have more problems and are
more directly involved in this whereas others are not as greatly
impacted.
Director of Public Works Dietz said the questions specifically
addressed by John Palm at the City Council meeting will be spoken to
at this meeting. He said that neighborhoods have never been invited
to a design project review. Dietz said that Director of Community
Services Lambert had taken the concept of sidewalks along Baker Road
to the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission and it
recommended that an asphalt path be constructed on the east side and
that a concrete path be constructed on the west side form Tanager
Creek north to 62nd Street. The residents of St. John Woods would
then be tied into the path system via Tanager Creek and this would
also provide access to the park.

MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to approve item A - C on

Bentley asked if all of these proposals have zoning. City Manager Jullie
stated that Eden Square does not, but that preliminary approval for zoning

Council adopted at its last meeting regarding the fact that zoning was
necessary before housing revenue bond approval was considered. Jullie
said that resolution related to the preliminary inducement resolutions for
housing revenue bonds.

Hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
IV. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS
A. Final approval of Housing Revenue Bonds for Eden Pointe in the amount
of $7,865,000 (Resolution No. 85-291)
City Manager Jullie indicated adoption of this resolution would give
final approval to a 143-unit proposal in the southeast quadrant of
Homeward Hills and Pioneer Trail.
City Attorney Rosow stated all the documents are ready.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to adopt Resolution No.
95-291, authorizing a project under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C
and the issuance of multifamily housing development revenue bonds to
finance the project. Motion carried unanimously.
B. Final approval of Housing Revenue Bonds for CSM in the amount of
$64,000,000 (Resolution No. 85-292)
City Manager Jullie noted that this as a special project in that the
zoning for the project has not been reviewed. Jullie recommended the
proponents be given the opportunity to explain their proposal to the
Council.
There was discussion as to whether or not the Council should consider
the proposal based on whether or not they could "reasonably" expect it
to be built.
Pidcock asked how approval of this might affect the City's bonding
authority. City Attorney Pauly said if the City does not have a basis
City Council Minutes -3- December 30, 1985
on which to make the determination that the project has a reasonable
basis for being built, the result will be that the interest on the
bonds will not be tax exempt and could result in the City's
certificates for subsequent bond issues not being acceptable to the
IRS. Peterson said that if the City made a good-faith effort towards
the proposed project then it would be possible for the project to be
revised. Rosow said the City would have to reasonably expect that 800
units will be built. If the project should be scaled back when it
comes to the zoning, that is not considered arbitrage.
Gary Holmes, President of CSM, addressed the proposal. Holmes said
the proposal calls for a density of 20.2 units per acre and the
property is not presently zoned for that. He stated that the Cherne
property on which this is proposed consists of 66+ acres of which 37
acres are buildable; 27 acres are wetlands. He noted that Cherne has
agreed to sell CSM additional land so the project can be completed.
He said that with a project of this size, amenities such as indoor
racquet ball courts, tennis courts, party rooms, etc. can be included.
Holmes indicated there were many ways which this could be built; at
the present one of the buildings would be ten-stories with the other
buildings being 4-stories and 6-stories. Holmes said this could be
changed and they are willing to work with Staff to come up with an
acceptable plan.
Bentley expressed concern with the degree of the project. He wondered
what would happen if, during the process of review, it was determined
that this site was not appropriate for high density residential.
Rosow said in order for the Council to approve these bonds it would
have to reasonably assume this project would be built. Rosow stated
that, based on the revenue ruling which the Council had discussed at a
previous meeting, the City is a long way from any sort of a bad-faith
issuance of bonds. Rosow said the Council has to determine whether or
not it is comfortable with the project as it sees it. Anderson said
there are two key words which bother him -- "reasonably" and
"comfortable".
Redpath referred to the December 27, 1985, memorandum from the
Planning Staff in which this proposal was addressed. He asked if
Staff was recommending "no go". Senior Planner Franzen said Staff had
not had time to complete a detailed review of the project, but had
identified a number of concerns related to the zoning code. Franzen
also said there were questions regarding the density. Bentley asked
if the proposal would be reviewed using criteria established for the
Major Center Area (MCA). Bentley said he believed criteria for the
MCA was and should be different regarding setbacks, building height,
mass, density, etc. Redpath concurred. Jullie said there had been
discussions from time-to-time about setting up some special zoning
City Council Minutes -4- December 30, 1985
code amendments in the MCA so developers would not have to go through
the variance process. Redpath noted that these were the recom-
mendations included in the Major Center Area Study which was done a
number of years ago. Jullie reviewed the process which had been used
in the MCA Study.
Lloyd Cherne, owner of the property, said he had heard for some time
that this property would be for high-density residential use. He
noted that over the years he had opportunities to sell the property
for office use as well as low-density residential use. He stated he
had more property he would be willing to sell to the developer to make
the project possible.
Bentley said he has been the major complainer about bonds such as
housing revenue bonds. He said in looking at this project there is
something in it which has not existed in some of the other proposals.
He said he believes that tax-free bonds should be used by the City as
a tool for development; they should be used as a tool to develop areas
which the City would like to see developed. He said he believed the
question to be whether or not it is appropriate to use housing revenue
bonds on this site and he said he believed it was appropriate. Bentley
said another issue which should be considered by the Council is
whether the type of use is consistent with what has been envisioned in
a particular area and, again, he felt this was consistent with that.
Bentley said he felt that 800 units could reasonably be built on this
site and that the Council has no reason to believe that they would not
be built. Bentley asked what would happen to the bonds between the
time they are sold and the time the developer has gone through the
zoning process. John Larson, bond counsel with Holmes and Graven,
said the proceeds from the bonds would be invested in Treasury bills
and the interest paid would be the same on both the bonds and the
proceeds so there would be no arbitrage. Larson said after March
there could be arbitrage earnings which could be used by the developer
for expenses incurred in the process of development.
Anderson asked what would happen if the Council granted approval f3;.
the bonds tonight and then did not approve the project when it came
through the development process. Rosow stated there is a statement in
the resolution for approval of the bonds which states the City does
not guarantee zoning. Rosow said the Council does not have an
obligation to rezone based on action taken on the bonds.
Bentley said it seemed to him that the proponent appeared to be
willing to work with the City to work out the questions which had been
raised by the Staff.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No.
85-292, authorizing the issuance, sale and delivery of the $64,000,000
housing development revenue bonds (Fountain Place Apartments Project),
City Council Minutes -5- December 30, 1985
Series 1985 (the 'bonds"), which bonds and the interest and any
premium thereon shall be payable solely from revenues derived from
revenues pledged pursuant to the indenture; approving the form of and
authorizing the execution and delivery of an indenture of trust, a
loan agrement, and a bond purchase and remarketing agreement;
approving the covenants, and confidential offering memorandum;
approving the form of and authorizing the execution and delivery of
the bonds; and providing for the securities, rights and remedies of
the holder of said bonds. Motion carried with Pidcock voting "no".
Anderson said he felt the information in the packet raised some
questions. He said he would like to see something like this done, but
he hoped the Council would not be caught in a bind by approving the
bonding prior to reviewing the rezoning proposal.
V. ADJOURNMENT
The Council adjourned to a special session at which time City Attorney
Pauly discussed pending litigation.

Zoning District Change from Rural to 1-2 Park on 2.29 acres for
construction of a 10,000 square foot office/warehouse. Location:
South of Pioneer Trail, east of Highway #169. (Ordinance #1-86,
Rezoning from Rural to 1-2 Park)
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been
published and property owners within the project vicinity had been
notified.
Jack Haverly, Oakwood Builders, addressed the request.
Councilmember Anderson arrived at 8:00 p.m.
Planning Director Enger said this request had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its meetings on November 25, 1985, and again on
December 9, 1985, at which time the Commission voted to recommend
approval subject to the revised plans dated November 8, 1985, and
December 5, 1985, and the recommendations of the December 6, 1985,
Staff Report.
Peterson asked about the impact of the proposal on the area to the
north. Haverty said the building would have jogs on the northern
exposure which would break the expanse; it would be constructed of
glass and burnished block for a nice effect.
Pidcock asked about the noise level from the building. Haverly said
there would be none as the use would be strictly that of office with
the warehouse area used strictly for storage.
Pidcock expressed concern about the Schaitbergers who have lived in
their home for 35 years.
Jeff Worth, 9510 Yorkshire Lane, read a letter he had written to the
Council explaining his position regarding the request. (Letter is
attached to these Minutes.)

thought this would be detrimental to the value of his home. Pauly
said the interim use is limited to the Major Center Area but the Code
could be amended to include this area. Pidcock said, from a realtors
point of view, an interim-use designation would be good for this
parcel.
Bentley said the City is not proposing anything for the Schaitberger
property at this time. The City is being asked by the proponent to
look at a proposal and to act on that. Bentley noted the City runs
the risk of a law suit when the action is arbitrary and capricious.
He said the questions is whether or not the effects of this on the
Schaitberger property can be mitigated.
Peterson asked what would become of the property to the east of the
Schaitberger parcel if the Shaitberger property were designated for an
interim use. Enger said the Guide Plan relects the area to the east
as medium-density residential; this had been done at the request of
the Fraser School. Enger said it would make sense to continue the
industrial use to the east. He said it is entirely possible that
another use could core in for that parcel.
Schaitberger said he thought the question was how close can an
industrial use come to an existing residential use.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue action on
this request to January 21, 1986, and to instruct Staff to work with
Schaitberger and Nybeck to come up with a solution.
Bentley said the issue of transition might be a bit premature. The
City might find it more appropriate to come up with an overall
development plan for that area.
Pidcock said she thought the Council, by continuing action, was
putting Mr. Gunnarson in an untenable situation.
Peterson said he believed that traffic volumes on Pioneer Trail will
always be less than what they were before County Road 1 was rerouted.
He said he felt the Council should be concerned about the Yorkshire
Point neighborhood.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.

City Council Minutes -6- January 7, 1986
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been
published and notices had been sent to surrounding property owners.
Dick Putnam, Tandem Corporation, and Peter Molinaro, Engineer with
Enebak Construction, addressed the request.
Planning Director Enger said this item had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its meeting on December 9, 1985, at which time
it voted to recommend approval subject to the recommendations included
in the December 6, 1985, Staff Report.
Director of Community Services Lambert said the Parks, Recreation &
Natural Resources Commission had reviewed the proposal and had voted
to recommend approval. The Commission had recommended that the City
accept land in lieu of cash park fees as outlined in the Supplementary
Staff Report to the December 6, 1985, Planning Staff Report.
Redpath asked if the building pads only would be filled in. Molinaro
said the building pads and the street areas.
Anderson asked how much fill it would take to guarantee there would be
no settling. Putnam explained that this proposal is different in that
there are very bad soils in the area. He stated that they are going
down to the good ground even if it has to be twenty feet. He said
they have requirements which must be met so the homebuyer is
protected.
Bentley asked if the City has any plans for a sidewalk on the west
side of Preserve Boulevard. Director of Public Works Dietz said that
will be constructed this year.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the Public
Hearing and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 2-86. Motion carried
unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to adopt Resolution No.
86-11, approving the preliminary plat of Eden Lake North for
Commercial Excavating, Inc. per the plans dated January 7, 1986.
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to direct Staff to

C. AMOCO OIL COMPANY, by Amoco Oil Company. Request for PUD Concept
Amendment, Zoning District Change from Rural to C-Reg-Serv for
self-serve gasoline station, convenience store, and car wash; and
City Council Minutes -7- January 7, 1986
preliminary plat of 6.79 acres into one lot and one outlot. Location:
Anderson Lakes Parkway and Highway #169. (Resolution No. 86-12 - PUD
Concept Amendment; Ordinance No. 3-86 - Zoning District Change from
Rural to C-Reg-Serv; and Resolution No. 86-13 - preliminary plat)
City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been
published and property owners within the project vicinity had been
notified.
Jim Phillippi, North Star Engineering, consultant and spokesman for
the proposal, addressed the request.
Planning Director Enger stated this request had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its meeting on December 9, 1985, at which time
It recommended approval subject to the recommendations included in the
December 6, 1985, Staff Report.
Pidcock asked about the impact of a gas station on the adjacent
daycare center; were these uses compatible. Phillippi said from a
safety standpoint there is very little problem. Pidcock said she was
concerned about the fumes which would be generated.
Bentley said concern had been expressed by some residents who were
unable to stay for this Public Hearing about the number of gas
stations which are being built along 169. Enger said this use
replaces a restaurant in the PUD; the restaurant would have been a
fast-food restaurant. Redpath noted the Council had recently approved
1700 apartment units across the street from this and the residents of
those units would find this to be a convenience.
Libby Hargrove, 12640 Sunnybrook Road, asked where the access to the
station would be. Phillippi said it would be off of Aztec Drive and
not off of Highway 169.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to close the Public
Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 86-12, approving the Amoco Oil
Company Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment to the overall
National Child Care Planned Unit Development. Motion carried with

IX. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. NORMANDALE TENNIS CLUB BY Arteka, Inc. Request for Site Plan
Peview for a tennis club. Location: southeast quadrant of Baker
Road and West 62nd Street. - continued from December 17, 1985.
City Manager Jullie stated Staff had met with the proponent and a plan
has been developed which reshapes the knoll and lowers it from an
original elevation of 1,007 feet to 1,002 feet. Jullie indicated
there is still room on the site to raise the knoll to the original
1,007-foot contour, and the proponent has indicated a willingness to
do this work. A three-foot retaining wall would be built along the
western base of the knoll adjacent to the parking areas. The revised
site plan shows a loss in parking from 317 to 305 spaces; however, an
additional 22 proof-of-parking spaces are shown.
City Council Minutes -10- January 7, 1986
Redpath said he was satisfied with the outcome after reading all the
reports. Andeson concurred.
Peter Beck, representing the proponent, said they had submitted
revised plans as a possible solution. Beck stated the proponents
would strongly prefer the original plan because it would give the Club
greater visibility from the Crosstown and the fact that 12 parking
spaces would be lost under the revised plan. Beck said the area of
the knoll was to have been an area for snow storage in the winter; and
the revised plan will result in additional costs for snow removal.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Pidcock, to approve the Site Plan
according to the revised plans for Normandale Tennis Club.
Bentley indicated he would vote "no" on the motion because he believes
this is the wrong zoning for the site and there is not enough parking.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried with Bentley voting *no".
B. Request by Richard Sentz for City Council to amend Section 5.70
to permit a commercial horse stable on 7 acres instead of the
required 10 acres
City Manager Jullie stated Sentz is requesting the Council consider an
amendment to Section 5.70 of the City Code relating to Commercial
Stable Operations. Jullie called attention to the memorandum dated
December 31, 1985, from Jean Johnson, Zoning Administrator, relating
to this issue.
Richard Sentz, 12650 Sunnybrook Road, addressed the request. Sentz
asked that he be given additional time to reduce the number of horses
he has to 4 and that a variance be considered so he can have eight
rather than four horses. He said he felt his horses added to the
beautification of Eden Prairie.
Bentley said he could see no justification in changing the City Code.
He said he would like to see a deadline placed as to when the number
of horses had to be reduced; and if the number was not reduced by
that time, it would then be an issue to be dealt with by Public
Safety.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to not consider amending
the City Code as requested by Richard Sentz.
Redpath said he was disturbed by the fact that Sentz had been
contacted by City Staff regarding his violations of the City code and
he had ignored Staff's letters.

City Council Minutes -11- January 7, 1986
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
Redpath asked how long it would take for Sentz to get rid of his extra
horses. Sentz said he could be rid of them in a week.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Pidcock, to give Sentz until
January 29, 1986, to solve the situation with the excessive number of
horses and to have the number of horses on his property down to four
by that time. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Redpath, to remove the fence which
Is on City right-of-way by April 15, 1986.
There was discussion as to what the best date would be as the deadline
for the removal of the fence.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: The motion carried unanimously.

3. Iel ciptht: - asked what has been done regarding a Housing Code for
t h e y. City Manager Jullie said Staff is working on this. The
basic requirements of the Code will be printed up so that renters
will know what is expected; it would advise renters of their
rights. Renters would be able to call the City for an inspection.
Jullie said he thought a report would be ready for the Council for
its January 21, 1986, Meeting.
B. Report of City Manager
1. Martin Luther King Holiday
City Manager Jullie reviewed what other communities are doing
regarding January 20, 1986, which will be celebrated as Martin
Luther King Day.
Anderson said because that day has been designated as a Federal
holiday it should be treated as such.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to deem Martin
Luther King Day as a holiday for employees of the City of Eden
Prairie. Motion carried unanimously.
2. Authorization for a Grant Approval
Director of Community Services Lambert said a draft copy of the
Riley Lake Report has been received. The Environmental Pollution
Contral Agency sent the Minnesota PCA information on Federal
grants for this region for lake water quality improvements.
Minnesota is being pressured to clean up the Mississippi River,
therefore the Minnesota PCA wants to do something to show we are
working on this. Applications are due by January 20, 1986.
Lambert said he thought the Riley Creek Chaing of Lakes
Improvement Project Study might qualify. He asked for authori-
zation to request grant money with no commitment to spend money
prior to hearings.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to authorize Staff
to request grant money with no commitment to spend money prior to
hearings. Motion carried unanimously.
3. Reschedule March 18, 1986 Meeting
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to cancel the March
18, 1986, Meeting of the City Council because that is the night on
which Precinct Caucuses will be held in Minnesota and to
reschedule that meeting for Tuesday, March 25, 1986, at 7:30 p.m.
in the School Administration Boardroom. Motion carried unani-
mously.

1. Bid results for Technology Drive Improvements, I.C. 52-0100
Resolution No. 86-17 (continued from December 17, 1985)
Director of Public Works Dietz reviewed the background for this
improvement.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Pidcock, to adopt Resolution
No. 86-17, accepting the bid of Enebak Construction Co., Inc., for
I.C. 52-0100, for Technology Drive Improvements. Motion carried
unanimously.
2. Receive feasibility report for Trunk Sewer and Water Improvements
in the vicinity of the Red Rock Interceptor I.C. 52-088, and set
public hearing for February 4, 1986
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to adopt Resolution
No. 86-15, receiving feasibility report and setting public hearing
for February 4, 1986.
Director of Public Works Dietz highlighted the assessment policy.
Dietz noted this will replace the Mitchell-Red Rock-Staring Lake
Interceptor Line (MRS). Dietz outlined the proposed assessment
method as outlined in the Feasibility Report.
Bentley said he found it interesting that the Metropolitan Council
was pushing this and at the same time was considering pulling back
the MUSA line in other areas of the Metropolitan Area. Bentley
said he is taking a close look at the lines being drawn in the
Development Framework.
VOTE ON MOTION: motion carried unanimously.
3. Red Rock Interceptor Agreement
City Manager Jullie said Staff is attempting to finalize the Red
Rock Interceptor Agreement at this time and would appreciate any
comments from Councilmembers.
E. Report of Finance Director
1. Clerk's License List
City Manager Jullie stated that the Edendale Golf Club wished to
expand its facilities by putting in a restaurant and lounge. In
City Council Minutes -14- January 7, 1986
order to do so they need to be assured of getting a liquor
license. Jullie pointed out that a liquor license can be issued
contingent on an expansion being made. He noted that Public
Safety has given its approval of the license.
Ed Mansur, proponent, said the owner have no plans for this
property other than to have it continue as a golf course.
Redpath asked if the City can place a condition on the license so
that if that is not a golf course, the liquor license has to be
relinquished. City Attorney Pauly said that can be done.
Anderson asked if this was an appropriate place for a liquor
license. It was noted that this would be a liquor license in
conjunction with a restaurant.
MOTIOR: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to approve the
Clerk's License List including the liquor license for Edenvale
Golf Club with the stipulation that the liquor license be
surrendured if the golf course is no longer in operation.
City Attorney Pauly stated the serving of liquor in a Rural zone
would be incidental to the operation of a clubhouse in a Rural
zone. If there were no golf course, then it would not be an
appropriate use in that zoning district.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
XII. NEW BUSINESS
There was none.
XI. ADJOURNMENT
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to adjourn the meeting at

II. REPORT FROM CITY HALL SITE SECLECTION COMMITTEE
City Manager Jullie said the Site Selection Committee had met twice and
had come up with a recommendation regarding a City Hall site. Jullie
noted the Minutes of the Committee, as well as other materials which had
been provided to the Committee, were included in the Council packet.
Director of Community Services Lambert reviewed the seven sites and gave
the rationale for the two sites which had been selected by the Committee.
Bentley asked when site #7 had come into place; he was unaware of that
site until this week and thought the Council had directed the Committee to
review six sites.
Redpath said the City had spend a lot of money for the Purgatory Creek
Master Plan; in that it was recommended a civic center be built on the
east side of the park as the gateway to the park area.
City Council Minutes -2- January 29, 1986
Peterson said he was nervous about the City Council giving direction to a
committee to look at six sites and then having a seventh site come into
play at the last minute without the City Council's knowledge. He thought
this would create negative opinions regarding the City Council's process.
Bentley concurred. Anderson asked whether or not a committee could be
restricted as to the sites it chose to review. Peterson said the
Committee should have come back to the City Council and requested it have
broader powers to look at other sites. Peterson stated the six sites were
the parameters; and, in terms of an orderly process, the Committee should
have come back to the Council to ask if it could or should examine
additional sites. Pidcock said she thought the Council had appointed a
Site Selection Committee to look at whatever sites might be under
consideration. Redpath asked if there was sufficient information
available regarding Site #7. Anderson said he would be the last person to
go back to the members of the Committee to say they had not had adequate
information on which to base a decision. Anderson stated there are lots
of unanswered questions about Site #3 as well as the other sites. Bentley
said his concerns about site #7 include the fact that the Major Center
Area/Purgatory Creek Park Master Plan showed the main focal point/park
entrance to be on the east side of the Creek and having this moved to the
west would alter that plan; and the issues used as negatives on Site #3
were not available for Site #7 (soil conditions and specific dollar
amounts). Bentley said he thought the site should be somewhere along
Prairie Center Drive in the MCA. Anderson said he did not think any
restrictions as to where the site should be were made in the motion to
establish the Site Selection Committee.
Pidcock noted the City's architects for a new city hall had expressed
concern regarding the size of a city hall next to Flagship Athletic Club;
the city hall would be overshadowed by the Club. Pidcock said she thought
the integrity of the Site Selection Committee was being attacked. Redpath
said he felt that that the integrity of the Prairie Center Drive site was
to be protected all along and that a government building would set the
tone for that area. Pidcock said she thought that Flagship Athletic club
had altered that. Bentley said the Purgatory Creek Master Plan showed a
plaza and park entrance; he stated that Site #7 did not bother him as a
site for a city hall, but he did not think that should be the major
entrance for the park and goes against what was intended.
Anderson said he had spent a Saturday morning and a Wednesday evening
listening to the pros and cons of each of the sites. He expressed concern
as to why the Council was debating this. Anderson thanked Staff for
suggesting a site which might be a good one and had been overlooked.
Peterson said this is going to be one of the most significant decisions
the City Council will make. He said he would have to know that Site #7
had been adequately studied so he will know it is the best site. Lambert
apologized to the Council and to the Site Selection Committee for adding
City Council Minutes -3- January 29, 1986
Site #7; he said he had not realized the sites to be reviewed were
limited. He indicated that soil borings could be made and the price of
the properties could be determined prior to the time when the Council made
a final decision as to the site. Bentley said he recalled that part of
the discussion during the hearings regarding Flagship Athletic Club were
that it would not jeopardize the entrance to the park; the entrance would
just be shifted north. Bentley said he had never heard that it would
preclude the entrance to the park being in that general location. Lambert
said the major changes would have to be made to the Purgatory Creek Park
Area Master Plan due to the existence of Flagship Athletic Club and the
soil conditions; the major access to the park would have to be moved 600'
to the north. Anderson said he would like to have the Council have all
the information which was presented to the Site Selection Committee prior
to the Council's decision being made.
Pidcock said she thought it was ridiculous to have appointed a Site
Selection Committee and then not to take its recommendation. Peterson
said he thought the City Council should look at this very closely; there
was no reason for the Council to race through with a decision. Peterson
said he thought it was good there were questions raised this evening
regarding the sites.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Bentley, to direct Staff to bring to
the City Council all the information which was looked at by the Site
Selection Committee with the hope the Council will look at this with an
open mind.
Redpath said he would expect that review to include information on hard
figures regarding the costs of each of the sites as well as soil
conditions of each.
Peterson asked if the park plan could be updated to show a western
entrance. Lambert said that would cost about $5,000. Peterson asked if it
would be reasonable for this to be brought before the Parks, Recreation &
Natural Resources Commission.
Lambert asked for clarification; was the information which is to be
provided the Council to be for Sites #3 and #7 only. Pidcock said she
would like to have information on Site #1 also.
AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Redpath, to restrict
the presentation of additional materials - anything which might be
pertinent - regarding a site for city hall to Sites #1, #3, and #7.
Motion carried unanimously.
VOTE ON MOTION AS AMENDED: Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Bentley, to set a special meeting of
the City Council for 8 p.m., Tuesday, February 11, 1986, to discuss the
sites under consideration for a new city hall. Motion carried
unanimously.
City Council Minutes -4- January 29, 1986
III. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR REFERENDUM QUESTIONS ON THE BALLOT
City Manager Jullie said the City had consulted with bond counsel firms
regarding this matter; the City Attorney had also researched the question.
Jullie called attention to Finance Director Frane's memorandum of January
24, 1986, in which this issue was addressed.
Redpath said he would like to get back to the City Needs Committee and
have it look at this for its recommendation as to whether or not to go for
the whole package; the recommendation of that Committee had been to have
one referendum in 1986 and another in 1987. Anderson stated there were
several members of the City Needs Committee on the Site Selection
Committee who were concerned about where the support is coming from; he
said how the question is put before the residents is very important.
Peterson said he did not think the Council needs to justify the need for a
new city hall or for a fire station; the Committee could be asked about
including the community center expansion and park improvements on the same
ballot. Bentley said he did think there was any justification for the
Committee to look at this; he said he was not prepared to decide beyond
the city hall and fire station. Lambert noted that when the City Council
appointed the City Needs Committee a sub-committee was appointed as well;
the sub-committee had different priorities than the City Needs Committee
and had requested that all be included in the referendum.
Jerry Wigen, 7000 Kingston Drive, said he would have a hard time with a
referndum which included four questions. He said single-issue referenda
have passed, but multiple question referenda have failed. He stated the
success of any referendum is based on people working together for the same
cause. He provided background information regarding the referendum held
in 1979.
City Manager Jullie said that several weeks ago some of the
representatives of the various athletic associations had talked to him and
expressed the need for more facilities; they indicated they would support
a referendum which included those issues. Jullie said Staff had pulled
together the data so the Council could decided how it wants the issue to
be and noted the linkage provision would give the residents, should they
desire to do so, an opportunity to go ahead with the community center
expansion and park development a year earlier than had been proposed by
the City Needs Committee.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to ask the City Needs
Committee to reconvene to review which of the items should be included in
the referendum and to come back to the City Council with its report as
soon as possible.
Pidcock said she did not feel the Committee should add anything to what
has already been proposed; but it should have the opportunity to delete
should it so desire.

supported by the firefighters. Peterson said he thought it would be wise
to look at the space needs and not some of the smaller dollar-amount
items. Jullie pointed out that there is sometimes a levy limit problem
with some of the items noted.
Lambert said his intention would be to meet with the sub-committee of the
City Needs Study Committee to get a recommendation from it which would
then go to the City Needs Study Committee which would then make a
recommendation to the Council. This would be following the process used
last summer. These groups would review the $15 million list. Lambert
said the City has a schematic plan for the Community Center and the dollar
figure of $3.2 million is a guesstimate on his part; he asked for
authorization to have the plan reviewed by an architect for more specific
costs.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Bentley, to authorize up to $2,500 to
have an architect come up with a dollar amount for an addition to the
Community Center. Roll call vote: Anderson, Bentley, Pidcock, Redpath,
and Peterson voted "aye". Motion carried unanimously.
Bentley expressed concern with the fact that the referendum had started
out to include a new city hall and a fire station and had now mushroomed
into a large expansion of the Community Center and the park acquisition
proposal. He said he would vote "no" on a bond issue if the Council does
not have hard figures before it very soon; he said he did not think this
was a catch-all bond issue for everyone in Eden Prairie. Redpath said
some of these items were proposed for 1987; for the Council to have to
pare down the city hall issue so the total referendum is saleable is not
fair. Jullie said Staff brought to the Council figures to show the
magnitude of what is before the City in the way of needs. Pidcock said it
is up to the Council to look at what is happening at the State and Federal
levels in the way of cuts. She said she had expected to get near-to-
complete figures as to costs this evening. Bentley said he was frustrated
with the circumstances. He said he was excited about a new city hall; and
believed that while there are fire needs and park needs, these must be
dealt with in an orderly way so the tax payers in Eden Prairie are not
destroyed in the process. Bentley said the Council was asking the Needs
Study Committee to recommend whether or not the circumstances have changed
so these should be included in this year's referendum.
V. REFERENDUM DATE
City Manager Jullie suggested May 6th as the target date for a referendum.
The consensus was that it was realistic to set May 6th as a target date
but to postpone setting it in the event a change was necessary based on
the information which has been requested this evening.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Pidcock, to set the first part of May
as the target date for a bond referendum. Motion carried unanimously.
City Council Minutes -7- January 29, 1986
VI. OTHER ITEMS
A. Consider Special Date and Time for Interviewing Candidates for
Commissions who are unable to attend previously scheduled session
City Manager Jullie said requests to appear at another time had been
made by candidates for commissions who are not able to attend the
February 10th meeting.
The consensus was that not everyone would be able to attend one or
more interview sessions. Staff was directed to communicate to those
who had indicated they would not be able to attend the February 10th
session that they should contact the Council members individually
and/or provide additional background material for review by Council
members.
3. LMC Conference on February 5th
City Manager Jullie noted the LMC Conference to be held on February
5th.
Council members Pidcock, Redpath, and Peterson said they would be able
to attend.
VII. ADJOURNMENT
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Redpath, to adjourn the meeting at
11:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.

Metropolitan Council's part. The estimate was not changed at then and, in fac
t
,
t
h
e
Metropolitan Council based a sewer allocation for the year 1990 for Eden Prai
r
i
e
o
n
the 23,500 population figure.
We were told at that time that the population estimates would not b
e
c
o
m
e
allocations. Of course, this has now occurred. We are now left with the situ
a
t
i
o
n
where we are receiving letters from the Metropolitan Council concerned abou
t
o
u
r
sewer capacity which is, of course, under capacity because the population esti
m
a
t
e
s
were incorrect. A 1985 special census done by Eden Prairie showed 24,500 as a
c
t
u
a
l
1985 population. We recently received a memo from the Metropolitan Council
s
t
a
f
f
which was addressed to the Metropolitan and Community Development comm
i
t
t
e
e
regarding a 500-unit apartment complex proposed in Eden Prairie. Quotation fro
m
t
h
e
letter is as follows:
"The project will be served by the Purgatory Creek interceptor with
treatment at the Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant. Inteceptor capacity
is adequate; however, the plant is nearing capacity and a substantial
Increase in the sewage flow could cause the facility to exceed the effluent
discharge standards set for this plant in the NPOES permit."
For Eden Prairie, the planned 1990 sewage flow allocation is 2.39 million gal
l
o
n
s
per day. However, the 1984 measured average daily flow was already 2.45
m
g
d
.
Growth in Eden Prairie, Shakopee, and other locations within the service are
a
i
s
rapidly depleting the reserve capacity of the plant.
If problems develop at the plant before expansion is complete, it may be neces
s
a
r
y
to impose restrictions on additional hook-ups. Because of this, it is impor
t
a
n
t
that Eden Prairie be aware of the rapid depletion of reserve capacity tha
t
i
s
accelerated by large projects, such as Eden Place Apartments, and it is import
a
n
t
that all agencies and local governments involved work together to assure
t
h
a
t
appropriate steps are taken so that capacity is available when needed.
We have a concern that the Metropolitan Council will use lack of sewer
p
l
a
n
t
capacity as a reason to slow growth in the southwest communities, while tr
y
i
n
g
t
o
encourage it in areas which have capacity. If there is more demand in t
h
e
"
a
t
capacity" areas, than in the "under capacity" areas, it may represent two
w
r
o
n
g
population projections by the Metropolitan Council. If communities "at capa
c
i
t
y
,
"
with strong demand, are not able to convince the Metropolitan Council in a
t
i
m
e
l
y
fashion to move up sewer plant expansion, the Metropolitan Council will in
s
t
i
t
u
t
e
moratorium. This approach is forcing the market and is not appropriate.
We are concerned with how population estimates are done. Were they don
e
o
n
a
Metropolitan Regional basis and then allocated per community? It would be tem
p
t
i
n
g
,
given the job of managing the growth of the region, to allocate population
w
h
e
r
e
current capacities are available, rather than trying to project where growth
w
i
l
l
occur and assure that services are available when needed.
We are concerned that the Metropolitan Council will pro rate the popu
l
a
t
i
o
n
estimates per year and begin allocation pressure sooner than 1990, or year
2

Eden Prairie has a Comprehensive Guide Plan that has been approved by
t
h
e
Metropolitan Council, which contains a significant mix of land use, both to pr
o
v
i
d
e
for sharp swings in land use cycles and to provide a well-balanced community
.
T

e
Investment Framework 4 February 7, 1986
Metropolitan Council has established goals for provision of different
t
y
p
e
s
o
f
housing. Eden Prairie has earnestly tried to reach goals set. However, i
f
l
o
c
a
l
governments are left with the choice of having to choose between land uses
b
e
c
a
u
s
e
of artificial sewer allocations, the traditional biases of expensive
,
d
e
t
a
c
h
e
d
single family housing will most likely be the route chosen. Surely thi
s
i
s
n
o
t
a
result the Metropolitan Council wishes to cause.
The question is not one of urban sprawl that is being controlled withi
n
t
h
e
M
U
S
A
line, it is a question of resources and demand. The public is best ser

t
e
,
n
o
t
a
n
artificial situation forcing growth where growth had been mistakenly fo
r
e
c
a
s
t
.
W
e
suggest the following changes in the Metropolitan Investment philosophy:
1. Project a population range, not just a finite number.
2. Update population projections in a timely enough fashion to provide the most
accurate number just prior to major capital improvement expansions.
3. Do not let population estimates become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The idea
of sewer allocations being based upon population estimates, and subsequen
t
l
y
enforcing those estimates with moratoriums, is bad planning. The Metropolitan Council should ask, where is the growth going to occur, how
c
a
n
we best plan for it, and if we guessed wrong, how can we correct o
u
r
development framework to accommodate growth without artificially obstructi
n
g
it? The Metropolitan Council states in their Investment Framework that th
e
y
do not intend to force growth in a direction different than mark
e
t
conditions dictate.
4. Look at areas that are at urban service capacity and ask, were o
u
r
population estimates wrong, is this why we are out of capacity? Being o
u
t
of service capacity could very well be an indicator of fast growing are
a
s
where capacities should be increased. Instead of a signal to slow growt
h
,
it should be a signal to increase capacities.
5. Build some play into the capital improvements plans for sewer. Improvemen
t
s
must be able to be moved up, or back, in time as needs dictate.
6. Build flexibility into sewer plan expansions so that their capacities may
b
e
increased incrementally above sewer flow projections without major improvements.
7. Local communities should continue to update the Metropolitan Council o
n
local conditions that would affect Council population estimates.
8. Provide for additional sewer plant improvements, as necessary, to preven
t
obstructions to growth. Growth in this area is consistent with th
e
Metropolitan Council's policy of supporting free-standing industrial an
d
commercial areas.
9. The priority system philosophy needs further study to assure that we don'
t
reach a "those who have get, those who have not, get not" situation. Th
e
area financial resources should be projected against area needs to assur
e
that the first priority area does not take all of the area's resources.

Lake Eden North Subdivision
Grading Permit
At the January 7, 1986, Council meeting, First Reading was granted for the
Lake Eden North project which lies west of Preserve Boulevard and south of
Franlo Road. This single family project, as you will recall, involved
extensive earth work to provide proper foundation for roadways and home
construction. For a variety of reasons, the Second Reading for this project
has not been accomplished. However, some of the grading that is proposed for
this site involves soft material which needs to be removed during winter
conditions.
The Developer has requested that they be allowed to begin the grading
operation prior to Second Reading of the Zoning Ordinance and approval of the
Developer's Agreement. If this permission cannot be granted until March 4,
the Developer feels they will miss the opportunity to perform the necessary
soil correction work. City Staff has reviewed this request and finds that the
risk involved with allowing grading to procede is extremely minimal. There
are no major land forms or significant vegetation which will be altered during
the grading process and due to the extremely poor soils in the area, any
corrections will certainly be beneficial.
We recommend that Council authorize Staff to issue a grading permit for this
project in accordance with applicable sections of the City Code.

family lots and three outlots.
Background
The Comprehensive Guide Plan depicts
a combination of Public Open Space,
and Low Density Residential for up
to 2.5 units per acre for the
property. The site is bordered on
the north by Red Rock Heights (R1-
13.5), Red Rock Hills (R1-13.5) to
the east, and Red Rock Lake to the
south and west.
The site is characterized by rolling
sloping topography from a high point
of 886 along the east-central
portion of the site to the shoreland
of Red Rock Lake at approximately
840. Vegetation consists of lowland
type varieties along the lake line,
with a stand of mature oak trees
along the east property line.
The site abuts Red Rock Lake located
to the west and south. This lake is
classified as a Recreational Dev-
elopment Water and provisions to the
Shoreland Ordinance apply.
Red Rock Heights 3rd Addition 2 January 24, 1986
Comprehensive Guide Plan
A majority of this site falls within the Public Open Space classification of the
City's Comprehensive Guide Plan. This Open Space was established for a trail
corridor around Red Rock Lake, as indicated on the Eden Prairie Park Master Plan.
The Director of Community Services has indicated that the trail will utilize the
proposed street system on this property and that the Parks Department is not
intending to the use all the property and sees no problem with the residential
development.
Site Plan
Seven, R1-13.5 lots, and three outlots are proposed on approximately 14 acres, for a
gross density of 0.5 units per acre with a net density of 1.09 units per acre, based
on 6.4 acres of developable land. The average lot size is 33,665 square feet, with
a maximum lot size of 63,120 square feet. All lots exceed the minimum frontage
requirements for the R1-13.5 District, and average 118 feet in width.
Shoreland Ordinance
The following provisions of the Shoreland Ordinance apply to various lots abutting
Red Rock Lake, with an established Normal Ordinary High Water Mark of 840.9 feet:
Minimum lot width at Normal Ordinary High Water Mark - 120 feet
Minimum lot width at building line - 120 feet
Minimum setback from the Normal Ordinary High Water Mark - 100 feet
Lots 1-4 do not meet one or more of these requirements.

The proponent is requesting variances from the Board of Appeals. Staff feels that
the variances may have merit due to the following reasons:
1. All indicated Shoreland Code infractions occur on the west side of the
development where the lake consists of mainly marsh and flood plain. The
actual water body lies to the south of Lots 4-7.
2. Average lot size of 33,665 square feet is well over the minimum required lot
size of 20,000 square feet for abutting lots within a shoreland area.
3. House pads are elevated an average of 20 feet above the High Water Mark.
=3-1
Red Rock Heights 3rd Addition 3 January 24, 1986
Grading and Drainage
Grading for the majority of this project will be concentrated on the road cut and
sanitary sewer installation. A cut of approximately 14 feet is proposed at the
east-central portion of the project for road placement, together with six feet of
fill at the northeast corner to enable the road connection to Village Woods Drive.
Minimal grading is proposed along the west shoreland and no grading beyond the house
pads for Lots 4-7 to the south. A preservation easement has been established along
the shoreland area to maintain the land adjacent to the lake in its natural state.
The erection of snow fencing should take place along this easement prior to any
grading of the property.
Due to setback criteria established in the Shoreland Ordinance, and the topography
of the site, road placement is necessary near the east property line. The proponent
has demonstrated the use of a 2:1 slope along the east property line in order to
minimize the amount of grading and to preserve all existing oak trees. Snow fencing
should also be placed along this area prior to any grading of the property.
All proposed drainage will be directed into Red Rock Lake. Road drainage will
utilize a catch basin located at the end of the cul-de-sac, then via storm sewer,
into Red Rock Lake.
Utilities
Sewer and water service is available to the site. Sanitary sewer will gravity drain
to the existing lift station immediately to the north. Water service will connect
to an existing line along Village Woods Drive. According to the City Engineer, as
part of the original Red Rock Heights project, the City agreed to pay a portion of
the installation costs for the lift station to serve the present parcel. Since this
tract of land is now owned and being developed by the same developers, the City's
contribution will be nullified.
Open Space
The Department of Natural Resources classifies Red Rock Lake, up to the Normal High
Water Mark, as Public Waters, consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan. Outlot
8 (6.2 acres) lies within this area and is basically marsh land in character and
undevelopable. The proponents have indicated that this outlot will be dedicated to
the City. Outlot A (1.8 acres) consists of a heavily wooded knoll with
approximately 50% of its land area within the Normal Ordinary High Water Mark. The
proponents have indicated an interest for this outlot as a possible picnic area for
the development. This knoll makes for an ideal wildlife habitat, and should in no
way be developed.
Pedestrian Systems
The Director of Community Services has reviewed the proposal and indicates that an
extension of the Red Rock Lake trail will be required to tie into the sidewalk
system being built for Red Rock Heights 1st Addition. There would be a five-foot
wide concrete sidewalk placed along the east side of the cul-de-sac which would
continue straight south along the east property line until it interesects the
existing east/west bituminous trail along the north shore of Red Rock Lake. Steps
will be necessary along the part of this trail which exceeds 8% grade.

Red Rock Heights 3rd Addition 4 January 24, 1986
Access
Staff has reviewed the access point to the proposed subdivision based on a 30 MPH
design speed and feels that sight vision distance along Village Woods Drive is
adequate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS

REQUEST:
Background
The project site is currently guided
for Regional Commercial land uses
and is located within the Major
Center Area. The current zoning
classification, having been approved
April 16, 1985, is for Office, and
there is an existing 8,300 square
foot building located on this site.
The proponent is requesting a Zoning
District Change from Office to C-
Regional-Service.
Surrounding properties have all been
guided for Regional Commercial land
uses and are also a part of the
Major Center Area. Current zoning
classifications in this area include
Office to the east, Rural to the
north and west, and C-Regional-
Service to the south. As part of
the Major Center Area, a variety of
land uses and zoning classifications
have been envisioned for this area;
thus, a change in zoning class-
ification from Office to C-Regional-
Service would be acceptable, pro-
viding certain conditions be met
such as additional landscaping,
screening of parking areas, etc.
These items will be discussed in
detail in the appropriate sections
and within the Staff Recommend-
ations.
Cardarelle III Amendment 2 January 24, 1986
Existing/Proposed Site Plan
The existing site plan depicts an 8,300 square foot, two-story office building and a
parking lot area containing 42 parking spaces. Building and parking lot setbacks
are a minimum of 35 feet from Eden Road and approximately 45 feet from Regional
Center Road. Access to this site is provided by two, 20-foot driveways off Eden
Road which is designed as a commercial street.
Changes to the site plan include primarily, the addition of 15 parking spaces
including a reduction in parking lot setbacks along Eden Road to 17.5 feet and
along Regional Center Road to 35 feet and a change in the proposed landscaping and
grading plans.
The effect of increasing the number of parking spaces from 42 to 57 is three-fold.
First, it increases the parking ratio from five spaces per 1,000 square feet Gross
Floor Area (GFA) to 6.86 spaces per 1,000 square feet GFA. Calculating a figure
using the proposed 50% office, 50% commercial/retail mix, a ratio of 6.5 spaces per
1,000 square feet GFA, or 54 spaces would be required. 57 spaces are provided which
would appear adequate providing the 50% office, 50% commercial/retail mix be
maintained. Secondly, it increases the amount of parking lot surface area including
driveways on the site from approximately 37% to approximately 50%. With the
addition of a building footprint of 4,150 square feet, total impervious surface on
the site would be approximately 60%. Finally, the proposed parking lot has been
redesigned utilizing minimum setbacks including a 17.5-foot setback along part of
Eden Road and a ten-foot minimum setback along the western property line. Because
of this, changes in the approved landscape and grading plan will have to be made.
Revised plans must submitted for review prior to the City Council meeting.
Foreseeable problems with these revised plans include the reduction of berming along
Eden Road currently designed to help screen the parking areas and the disruption of
open space in the proposed landscaping. Because of this, Staff recommends that in
addition to berming, a double row of evergreens (8-foot minimum) be planted adjacent
to Eden Road to help screen parking areas.
Parking
The currently approved site plan depicts an 8,300 square foot building and parking
lot area containing 42 parking spaces. In the Office zoning districts, a total of
five parking spaces per 1,000 square feet GFA is required. The proposed site plan
includes an additional 15 spaces which raises the total number to 57 parking spaces.
Within the commercial zoning district a total of eight parking spaces per 1,000
square feet GFA is required. If the building were occupied 100% for commercial,
there would be a ten space parking shortage.
However, the applicant has stated that the proposed use for the site would be the
rental of approximately 50% office space, and 50% of commercial/retail space. Based
on this, Staff calculated parking figures using 4,150 square feet of office space at
five parking spaces per 1,000 square feet GFA, and 4,150 square feet of
commercial/retail at eight parking spaces per 1,000 square feet GFA, or a total of
54 parking spaces. The applicant is providing 57 spaces. Because of this, Staff
would recommend that two of the parking spaces adjacent to the median along Eden
Road be eliminated to allow for the median to be increased in width to a total of
26.5 feet. (See Attachment A) In order to insure that the parking requirement is
being met, the proponent will be required through the Developer's Agreement to limit
Cardarelle III Amendment 3 January 24, 1986
the mix of land uses to 50% office and 50% commercial/retail. Should the proponent
wish to increase the mix of commercial/retail versus office, Staff will require
documentation stating that the number of parking spaces provided is sufficient to
handle the probable increase in demand.
Landscaping
The currently approved landscape plan depicts a total of 170 caliper inches of
trees. Based on the new site plan, the majority of landscaping will be displaced
due to the parking lot redesign. In order for Staff to further evaluate the
request, the applicant will be required to submit a new landscape plan. The plan
shall be submitted prior to City Council review.
Grading
In addition to the displacement of landscaping, the grading plan also changes
substantially. Included with this, is the elimination of the four-foot berm along
Eden Road, partial elimination of the berm at the intersection of Eden Road and
Regional Center Road, and the extension of the parking lot area within ten feet of
the western property line. As with the landscaping plan, the applicant will be
required to provide a new grading plan prior to City Council review, for Staff to
evaluate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff would recommend approval of the request for Zoning District Change from Office
to C-Regional-Service based on the Staff Report dated January 24, 1986, and subject
to the following conditions:
1. Prior to Council review, proponent shall:
A. Submit a revised landscape plan for review.
B. Submit a revised grading plan for review.
C. Revise the site plan to reflect the elimination of the two parking
spaces adjacent to the median along Eden Road thus allowing for the
median to he increased in width by 9 feet to a total of 26.5 feet.
D. Submit documentation limiting the mix of uses within the building to
50% office and 50% commercial/retail.
E. Should an increase in commercial/retail lease space be desired,
proponent shall submit documentation stating that the parking which
is provided will be sufficient to accommodate the probable increase
in demand.

EXHIBIT "A" TO RESOLUTION IC-id-
REASONS AND FACTS SUPPORTING FINDINGS FOR
ESTABLISHMENT OF PROPOSED TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 10 AND THE ADOPTION
CT A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN RELATING
THERETO.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF EVIDENCE
In late 1984 the Planning Commission for the City of Eden
Prairie first reviewed the site plan details for the proposed Prairie
Village Apartments. The proposal originally involved one 56-unit
apartment building for lower income elderly persons and one 56-unit
multifamily apartment building in which at least 20% of the units
would be reserved for tenants whose adjusted gross income did not
exceed 80% of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan statistical
area median income. The project was proposed for the parcel legally
described as all of Outlot B and that part of Outlot C, Gonyea 4th
Addition lying northwesterly of a line drawn from a point on the
westerly line of said Outlot C distant 96.68 feet southeasterly
along said western line from the most westerly corner of said Outlot
C to a point on the northerly line of said Outlot C distant 159.24
feet southwesterly along said northerly line from the most northerly
corner of said Outlot C (hereinafter referred to as the "Parcel").
It was determined that the Parcel was vacant, unused and underused
Page -2-
within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes 426.421, Subd. 13(3) and
the Planning Commission recommended approval of the site plan
details to the City Council. At the direction of the Eden Prairie
Housing and Redevelopment Authority (hereinafter referred to as the
"HRA"), a redevelopment plan for Prairie Village Apartments was
prepared with the cooperation and assistance of the appropriate
City department. The redevelopment plan was completed in October,
1985. The plan included the following analysis as to why the
proposed Prairie Village Apartments would be consistent with the
City's housing policies,
RELATIONSHIP TO LOCAL OBJECTIVES
The Prairie Village Apartments Project is consis-
tent with the following policies set forth in the City's
Housing Plan which was adopted pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes Sec. 462(c).
1. The City's desire to encourage low income housing
projects and to work with the Metropolitan Council
to develop such projects.
2. The City's desire to encourage development of a
variety of living and working environments for
all kinds of people by holding development costs
down.
3. The City's desire to encourage a variety of
housing types and prices through innovative land
use mixes.
4. The City's desire to encourage development of a
variety of living and working environments for
people of all ages, races and income groups.
5. In creating its multifamily housing finance
program, the City Council of the City has found
and determined that the preservation and enhance-
ment of the high quality of life in the City is
dependent upon the maintenance and provision of
Page -3-
adequate, decent, safe and sanitary housing
stock; that accomplishing the provision of
such housing stock is a public purpose and
will benefit the citizens of the City; that
a need exists within the City to provide in
a timely fashion additional and affordable
housing to persons residing and expected to
reside in the City; that a need exists for
mortgage credit to be made available for the
new construction of additional multifamily
housing; that a need exists to encourage
elderly and low income housing projects;
that a need exists to encourage development
of a variety of living and working environ-
ments for all kinds of people by holding
development costs down; that a need exists
to encourage a variety of housing types and
prices through innovative architecture and
land use mixes; and that a need exists to
encourage development of a variety of living
and working environments for all people of
all ages, races, and income groups.
6. The City, in considering the multifamily housing
program, has considered generally available
information regarding conditions in the housing
industry and the information contained in the
City's 463(c) Housing Plan, adopted on October 30,
1978, as amended February 2, 1982 (the "Housing
Plan"), including particularly
i. The availability and affordability of other
government housing programs;
ii. The availability and affordability of private
market financing for the acquisition of land
for and construction of multifamily housing
units;
iii. An analysis of population and employment
trends and future employments needs;
iv. The recent housing trends and future housing
needs of the City; and
v. An analysis of how the program will meet the
needs of persons and families residing and
expected to reside in the City.
:)
Page -4-
7. The City, in considering this program, has further
considered
i. The amount, timing, and sale of bonds to
finance the estimated amount of construction
and mortgage loans to be made under the
program, to fund the appropriate reserves
and to pay the cost of issuance;
ii. The method of monitoring and implementation
of the program to assure compliance with the
City's Housing Plan and its objectives;
iii. The method of administering, servicing, and
supervising the program;
iv. The cost to the City, including future
administrative expenses;
v. The restrictions on the multifamily develop-
ment to be financed under this program; and
vi. Certain other limitations.
The Plan along with the preliminary draft of the Tax Increment
Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 10 proposed to
be located entirely within the Redevelopment Plan area was duly
transmitted by the HRA to the Planning Commission for the City of
Eden Prairie for its study and opinion thereon. At its meeting of
October 28, 1985 the Planning Commission recommeLded adoption of
the Plan and the preliminary draft of the Tax Increment Financing
Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 10. The evidence
introduced and described in the Planning Commission minutes of
October 28, 1985, is made a part of the record in these proceedings.
On November 5, 1985 in Resolution 85-2 the HRA adopted the October,
1985 Redevelopment Plan which included the preliminary draft of the
Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District
Page -5-
No. 10. On November 5, 1985 in Resolution 85-243, the City Council,
City of Eden Prairie also approved the Redevelopment Plan and pre-
liminary draft of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment
Financing District No. 10. The evidence introduced and described in
the City Council minutes of November 5, 1985 is made a part of the
record in these proceedings. Also made a part of the record in these
proceedings is the August 26, 1985 letter of Sherrill Kuretich to
Mayor Peterson and the members of the City Council which analyzes
whythemultihousing project would nto be financially feasible
as a conventionally financed project. No November 5, 1985 in
Resolution No. 85-1 the ERA authorized the chairman and administrator
of HRA to execute on behalf of the ERA the Purchase Agreement for the
Parcel, as well as, the Property Management Agreement. Resolution
No. 85-1 authorized the ERA to purchase the Parcel for the total
sum of $150,000.00 payable in cash, $128,819.00 to be paid by the
HRA and $21,181.00 to be paid by Prairie Village Limited Partnership.
On November 19, 1985 the chairman and administrator of the ERA
executed said Purchase Agreement and Property Management Agreement.
On November 23, 1985 the Parcel was conveyed by the ERA to Prairie
Village Limited Partnership for $21,181.00. The $128,819.00
originally paid by the ERA was subsequently reimbursed to the ERA
in a Community Development Block Grant. As of today's date, the
preliminary draft of the Tax Increment Finance Plan for Tax
Increment Financing District No. 10 has undergone several changes.
The original proposal for the Project included one 56-unit apartment
Page -6-
building for lower income elderly persons and one 56-unit apartment
building in which at least 20% of the units would be reserved for
tenants whose adjusted gross income did not exceed 80% of Minneapolis/
St. Paul metropolitan statistical area median income. The Project
now includes one 56-unit apartment building for lower and moderate
income elderly persons and one 56-unit apartment building to be
rented at market rates. It is contemplated that the project will
be partially financed through the sale of $6,000,000.00 Housing
Revenue Bonds. The proposed Interest Reduction Program will cover
the entire Project, but be applied to assist in financing the
56-unit apartment building for elderly low and moderate income
tenants.
Based upon the evidence and the record the Council sets fortn
its further specific reasons and facts supporting its Findings as
follows:
I.
The Tax Increment Financing District No. 10 contained in the
Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District
No. 10 consists of one parcel legally described as all of Outlot B
and that part of Outlot C, Gonyea 4th Addition lying northwesterly of
a line drawn from a point on the westerly line of said Outlot C
distant 92.68 feet southeasterly along said westerly line from the
most westerly corner of said Outlot C to a point on the northerly
line of said Outlot C distant 159.24 feet southwesterly along said
Page -7-
northerly line from the most northerly corner of said Outlot C.
(Tax Increment Financing District No. 10 is hereinafter referred
to as the "TIF District No. 10"; Tax Increment Financing Plan for
TIF District No. 10 is hereinafter referred to as the "TIF Plan";
and the property located within the TIF District No. 10 and identified
above is hereinafter referred to as the "Parcel").
The Project consists of development of a residential complex
containing two 56-unit apartment buildings and their accessory
land uses. 56 units are intended for elderly low and moderate
income households and the other 56 units will be made available
at market rate. The Project has an estimated development cost of
$6,000,000.00 and will be partially financed through the sale of
Housing Revenue Bonds. The Parcel has been purchased by the Eden
Prairie Housing and Redevelopment Authority and has been sold to
Prairie Village Limited Pa-tnership, the developer.
The Project will result in increased housing and low or
moderate income elderly housing in the City and it will preserve
and enhance the quality of life of the City by providing a range
of housing opportunities.
Page -8-
Establishment of TIF District No. 10 is intended to aid in
financing of the Project through the use of tax increments generated
from the captured assessed value in the TIF District No. 10. TIF
District No. 10 is, therefore, a tax increment financing district
as defined by Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.73, Subd. 9.
V.
The Project, is a housing development project under Minnesota
Statutes Section 462.421. The Project is intended for occupancy in
part by persons or families of low and moderate income as defined in
Chapter 462A, Title II of the National Housing Act of 1934, the Nationa
l
Housing Act of 1959, the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended,
Title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, any other similar
present or future federal, state or municipal legislation, or the
regulations promulgated under any of these acts and constitutes a
housing district as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 273.73.
VI.
If the Project were financed with a conventional mortgage,
the rents which would be needed to meet the mortgage payments would
be so high that they would not be obtainable on today's market. The
Interest Reduction Program, together with the mortgage revenue
bond financing, will allow rent to be set at such levels as to
qualify it as a low or moderate income development and will make
the project economically feasible. For these reasons the use of
tax increment financing for construction of the Project is deemed
necessary.
Page -9-
VI'.
The Parcel described in the Plan is located entirely within
the
Redevelopment Project Area created and established pursuant to the
Redevelopment Plan adopted by the City Council on November 5, 1985,
and Minnesota Statutes Chapter 462. The Redevelopment Plan is
incorporated in the TIF Plan. The TIF Plan and Project have been
reviewed by the City's Planning Commission and found to be in
conformity with the previously adopted Redevelopment Plan and
the general plan for development of the City. For these reasons,
the TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for development or
redevelopment of the City as a whole and will afford maximum
opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole
for the development of the district by private enterprise.
RESOLUTION NO. 86-31

VALUE OF THE REAL PROPERTY WITHIN THE BOUNDARY OF THE PRAIRIE VILLAGE TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 10.

Bob:
I have informally reviewed the proposal you submitted on Riley Lake
and have the tollowing comments:
- Since Riley Lake lies in two cities (and two counties)
I checked with our Attorney General's office and it is
not crystal clear if Chanhassen would also have to
adopt an ordinance as well. (Although it would seem
rather odd having them adopt an ordinance in an area
they have no control over.)
- The concept of the "slow-no wake" zone in front of
the park property seems to be a good one - would
150' out fom shore serve your purposes or would it
be better at 300?
- The ski drop off and pickup area also is a good alter-
native to what sounds like a bad situation.
- The prohibition of swimming outside the marked swim
area should probably coincide with the "slow-no wake"
area marked on the map and the ski drop off zone. I
don't think you'll be able to regulate or enforce the
prohibition on the rest of the shore.
Otherwise everything seems quite feasible. If you need help draft-
ing the ordinance or with anything else, please let me know.
Sincerely,

Jessen suggested that since the feasibility study for the golf
course will be done in the near future, perhaps the City should
work with them to come up with a solution. Be feels this might be
an opportunity rather than a problem.
After discussion, it was decided to table this issue until a future
meeting.
VIII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Riley Lake Use Ordinance
Refer to memo dated January 23, 1986 from Bob Lambert, Director of
Community Services.
Lambert said that staff proposes the ordinance be changed in order
to make the park safer and reduce City liability. A problem exists
with swimming or flotation devices being used outside of the
swimming area. The revised park use ordinance would prohibit the
use of flotation devices from being used in the park and require
all swimmers to stay within the swimming beach area.
Cook said staff should make sure the wording in the ordinance is
clear that flotation devices do not include life jackets.
Lambert said that he has not had comments from the homeowners
association.
Baker asked what a skier will do after being dropped off by a boat.
Lambert said that there is a hard, sandy bottom and seven to eight
feet of sandy beach with a steep embankment up to the railroad
tracks. A sign would be put up at the public access and regulated
areas would be marked by buoys.
MOTION: Kingrey moved to recommend approval of the revised Riley
Lake use ordinance per staff recommendation. Breitenstein seconded
the motion and it passed 6-0.
B. Review of Cash Park Fee Ordinance
Refer to memo dated January 23, 1986 from Bob Lambert, Director of
Community Services.
Lambert said that the park fees were raised considerably in 1984
and it is recommended that a 5Z increase across the board be
considered. This would increase the single family residential from
$400 to $420, the multi-family residential from $305 to $320 and
the office, industrial and commercial from $2,220/acre to
S2,300/acre.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services17
DATE: January 23, 1986
SUBJECT: Cash Park Fees
On Tuesday, February 21, 1984, the Eden Prairie City Council approved an
increase in the cash park fees to the following:
• single family residence $400/unit
• multi-family residence $305/unit
• commercial/office/industrial $2,200/acre
Those new fees were adjusted after a lenghty review of the park fees by the
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and the Development
Commission. At the end of the review process, the Development Commission
recommmended that the City adjust the fees a small amount on an annual basis,
rather than waiting four to five years and requesting a large increase in the
fees.
On January 15, 1986, representatives of Blaine, Eagan, Eden Prairie, Lakeville
and Plymouth met at Maple Grove to discuss and evaluate park dedication
ordinances from each of those cities. Each of the cities approach the park
dedication fee from a different philosophical basis (Eagan and Eden Prairie
are relatively similar), and all of those communities were either considering
increases for 1986 or had already approved increases for 1986. Plymouth
charged $450/unit for both single family and multi-family in 1985 and would be
increasing that fee to at least $500/unit in 1986. Eagan has increased their
single family unit charge to $440 for 1986. The multi-family unit charge in
Eagan is based on a formula that varies with density.
The City of Eden Prairie has not adjusted the park fees in two years, and in
order to follow the recommendation of the Development Commission of 1984,
staff is recommending the Council consider a 5% increase in the fees across
the board. This would increase the park fees to the following amounts:
• $420/unit for single family residential
. $320/unit for multi family residential
. $2,300/acre for office, industrial & commercial

Update on City Hall Site Selection
At the February 4, 1986 meeting, the Council directed staff to attempt to obtain
soils information on the MIS site, the cost including lost taxes on the Mitchell
Road site, and land costs on the MIS site and the Naegele site. The Council also
requested a recommendation from staff regarding the impact moving the major entryway
would have on the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area.
Attahced, for your review, is a memo from Craig Dawson providing information on the
Mitchell Road site, a copy of the soil boring information on the MIS site, and a

Location of Purgatory Creek Recreation Area Major Entry
In late 1985, the City Council appointed a City Hall Site Selection Committee to
review six potential City Hall sites, and to make a recommendation to the City
Council prior to their January 29th meeting. During the review process, staff
developed a list of pros and cons for each of the six sites, as well as information
regarding the asking price for the property, and information available on soil
conditions, special assessments, etc. While reviewing the pros and cons on site #2,
located on the west side of the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area, staff began to
notice the impact of the property west and north of the Miller Homes site. Staff
decided to provide information on a 28 acre site owned by MIS Company, located on
the north side of Purgatory Creek Recreation Area. The eastern boundary of site 7
is located approximately 1300 feet west of the western boundary of site 3.
The initial review of this site indicated that the soils would be better than either
of the other two sites (site #3 and site #2) providing access to the Purgatory Creek
Recreation Area, and the site would be less than half a mile west of Prairie Center
Drive on Technology Drive.
After visiting the site and discussing pros and cons of the various sites, the Site
Selection Committee recommended three sites to the City Council for further
consideration. The first priority site was the MIS site. The second priority site
was the site north of the Flagship. The third priority site was the site adjacent
to the library. The site adjacent to the library was recommended on a split vote.
The first two sites were a unanimous decision by the committee. The committee
recommended that prior to making a decision on either site the City Council obtain
soil boring information on the MIS site and obtain a firm commitment on price from
both property owners. The committee felt that by providing two high priority sites,
the City Council would be able to negotiate a fair price from either property owner.
The City Council's major concern regarding the MTS site was that the main entrance
to the park would now be from the north, rather than from the east. The Council
requested staff to provide a memo outlining the impact this change would have on the
character of the park, the park design, etc.
It should be understood that although a master plan was approved for the Purgatory
Creek Recreation Area depicting four entry points, as well as an amphitheater,
plaza, golf course, trails and specific locations for open water areas, the Park
Planner developed the initial concept for the development of the proposed area based
on several assumptions regarding soils and water elevations during flooding
conditions. The planner indicated the park plan would undoubtably change when
detailed information was made available regarding flood elevations, soils and ground
water conditions.
There is no doubt both sites have potential for developing different types of
entryways due to their location, and to the soils on or adjacent to each site. The
major question regarding the two different locations is: "Will moving the location
of the entryway from the east to the north change the character of this park from a
regionally used, urban community park to just another city community park?
It has been stated that if the park entrance is not located on the east side, the
park merely becomes another community park, rather than a regionally used urban
park; however, the 200 acres of parkland will not be moved to the country somewhere,
it still will remain directly adjacent to our urban center. The use of the plaza and
entryway may change by moving it from the east to the north, but the major impact on
how the entry plaza will be used will depend directly on how the adjacent land is
developed. The use of the remaining portion of the park, the trails, the open space
areas, the ponds, and the golf course, if it is developed, will not be greatly
affected if the major entry is moved from the east to the north.
The original concept was that small retail shops would be located in this area and
hundreds of people would be constantly shopping around the entry plaza area. If the
City believes the Feeders property and the Teman property, east of Prairie Center
Drive, will be developed as commercial with retail shops, staff would agree that a
high percentage of the people that use this park would be people shopping in the
area; however, if those sites are developed as office sites, the major pedestrian
use would be office workers during noon hours, whereas, the evening or weekend users
would come to the park via automobile.
On page 6 of the approved plan, under the title Main Entrance, the plan states the
following: "development adjacent to the entrance plaza should be designed to "tie
Into' the plaza area using similar surface paving and design motifs. Continuity of
materials and design will unify the entire area and create a pleasing space for
human activity. Adjacent developers should be encouraged to incorporate small,
intimate shops into developments that will face the plaza area and create a main
street, mall effect."
On page 14 of the design analysis for the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area under
Park Access, the planner states the following:
PARK PLAZA - This is a major entrance and a focal point of public facility
development. As a major activity center for public enjoyment, it is complimented by
adjacent retail/commercial facilities. Nearby high capacity parking facilities
serve the area for special event occasions.
If the park is located on the north side of the park and the land to the west is
developed as either office or "high tech industrial" the majority of the pedestrian
traffic would come from people working in the area that would visit the park during
the noon hour, but again the majority of the people using the park in the evenings
or weekends would be people arriving via automobile. In any case, this park should
have access from the north, east, west and south for both pedestrian and people
arriving by car.
The major land use change affecting this plan occurred in the development of the
Flagship to the south and the consideration to develop a government center to the
north, both uses contain large scale buildings that will abut the entry plaza. This
is a major change from the concept of the master plan which states "Adjacent
developers should be encouraged to incorporate small, intimate shops into
development, that will face the plaza area and create a main street, mall effect."
The location of small shops around-the entry plaza would ensure people constantly
using the plaza throughout the day. If the plaza is surrounded by large scale
office buildings and an athletic club, the major users would be people working
nearby at noon hour, and residents arriving at the site by car in the evenings and
on weekends.
Unless the Council wants to consider purchasing additional property and developing
the site as originally planned, the entry plaza use will be similar whether it is
located on the north or on the east because the vast majority of the people using
the plaza will arrive by automobile, at least for the first 15-20 years. As the
City matures and our "downtown' becomes more urban than suburban, the benefit of
having the park located on the east side of the park will increase.

Mr. Lambert:
As authorized on January 30, 1986, we have conducted soil borings
and completed a preliminary foundation investigation for the
above referenced project. The purpose of the investigation was
to evaluate the subsurface soils and ground water conditions with
regard to foundation support of the proposed city hall. It
should be noted that this stage of the investigation is very pre-
liminary in nature as building locations or designs and floor
grades have not been finalized.
In summary, the site under study lies just to the west of
Purgatory Creek with the 100-year flood plain encompassing the
eastern half of the site. The western portion of the site, which
is above the 100-year flood plain, is approximately bisected by
an MWCC sewer line. Our borings, taken west of the 100-year
flood plain on either side of the MWCC sewer line, encountered
suitable soils for foundation support directly below topsoil.
Some areas may require limited soil correction (such as 3 to
4-foot subcut below footings) where softer silts and clays may be
encountered. Boring ST-3 was an exception, encountering swamp
deposits extending to a depth of 14 feet.

A. INTRODUCTION
A.1. Scope: In total, seven standard penetration test borings
were taken within the portion of the site under study. A limited
laboratory testing program was conducted to aid in classification
of soils and characterizing engineering properties. With the
results of the investigation, this engineering report was pre-
pared addressing our preliminary analysis and recommendations.
A.2. Site Background: The site under study herein is bordered
on the east and northeast by Purgatory Creek. The 100-year flood
plain of Purgatory Creek approximately covers the eastern half of
the site. An MWCC sewer line runs lengthwise through the western
half of the site, approximately bisecting this portion. In
avoiding development within the 100-year flood plain, or directly
over the MWCC sewer line, the area available for development
becomes somewhat limited. However, some portions of the site do
appear suitable for development and could warrant additional
investigation.
A.3. Boring Locations and Elevations: The boring locations were
staked in the field by BRAUN personnel. The boring locations
were referenced to the MWCC sewer alignment and are shown on the
attached sketch. Surface elevations of the borings were
referenced to a manhole located along the MWCC sewer line in the
northern half of the site. An elevation equal to 100.0 feet was
BRAM
86-047
City of Eden Prairie -2- February 7, 1986
assigned to this bench mark. The approximate location of the
bench mark is shown on the attached sketch.
A.4. Field Testing and Samgling: The penetration test borings
were performed on February 3 and 4, 1986, with a core and auger
drill unit mounted on a rubber-tracxed carrier. Sampling for the
borings was conducted in accordance with ASTM D1586 "Penetration
Test and Split Barrel Sampling of Soils." Using this method, we
advanced the bore hole with the hollow-stem auger to the desired
test depth. Then a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches drove a
standard, 2-inch OD, split barrel sampler a total penetration of
1 1/2 feet below the tip of the hollow-stem auger. The blows for
the last foot of penetration were recorded and are an index of
soil strength characteristics. Samples were taken at 2 1/2-foot
vertical intervals to a depth of 15 feet, and then samples were
taken at 5-foot intervals to the termination depth of the
borings.
A.5. Laboratory . Testing: A limited laboratory testing program,
comprised of one Atterberg limits test and two natural moisture
content tests, was conducted on samples collected from the
borings. The results of these laboratory tests are shown on the
attached Log of Boring sheets.
A.6. Ground Water Probing: Immediately after taking the final
sample in the bottom of each boring, the bore hole was probed
through the hollow-stem auger to check for -the presence of ground
water. Immediately after withdrawal of the auger, each bore hole
was again probed and the depth to water or cave-in was noted.
The borings were finally checked and then backfilled just prior
to leaving the site.

B. RESULTS
8.1. Logs: Log of Boring sheets indicating the depth and iden-
tification of the various soil strata, the penetration resistan-
ces, and water level information are attached. It should be
noted that the depths shown as boundaries between the strata are
only approximate. The actual change may be more of a transition
and the depth of change likely varies horizontally.
8.2. Summary of Soils Encountered: Boring ST-1 encountered 1
1/2 feet of peat swamp deposits overlying medium dense poorly
graded sand extending to the termination depth of the boring.
Boring ST-2 encountered approximately 1 1/2 feet of topsoil
overlying medium dense clayey sand or silty clayey sand glacial
tills extending to a depth of approximately 12 feet. Underlying
the glacial till soils, poorly graded sand was encountered in a
medium dense condition extending to the termination depth of the
boring.
Boring ST-3, taken near the middle of the site and near the
100-year flood plain, encountered peat and muck swamp deposits
extending to a depth of 14 feet. Underlying the swamp deposits,
poorly graded sand and glacial till comprised of lean clay with
sand and silty sand was encountered generally in a loose or
medium dense condition.
Boring ST-4 encountered approximately 2 feet of clay topsoil
overlying naturally deposited sandy lean clay extending to a
depth of 4 feet, which was then underlain by poorly graded sand
extending to a depth of 12 feet. From a depth of 12 feet to the
termination depth of the boring, glacial till soils were encoun-
tered comprised of sandy lean clay and silty sand in a medium to
rather stiff condition.
BRAUN
86-047
City of Eden Prairie -4- February 7, 1986
Boring ST-5 encountered approximately 1 1/2 feet of frozen top-
soil overlying medium dense poorly graded sand extending to the
termination depth of the boring.
Borings ST-6 and ST-7 encountered 1 1/2 to 2 feet of sandy lean
clay topsoil overlying 2 1/2 to 5 feet of silt which was
generally underlain by fat clay in a rather stiff to stiff con-
cation. This fat clay extended to the termination depth of
boring ST-6 and extended to a depth of 14 feet in boring ST-7, at
which depth very fine-grained poorly graded sand with silt was
encountered extending to the termination depth of the boring.
B.3. Ground Water Measurements: With the exception of boring
ST-6, ground water was encountered at depths ranging from 6 to 22
feet with the hollow-stem auger in the ground. Ground water was
not encountered in boring ST-6 with the hollow-stem auger in the
ground. Immediately after withdrawal of the auger, ground water
was not encountered to cave-in depths ranging from 5 to 11 feet
in borings ST-2 and ST-5 through ST-7. Ground water was encoun-
tered in borings ST-1, ST-3, and ST-4 at depths of 2.5 to 5 feet
immediately after withdrawal of the auger from these borings.
Ground water levels were rechecked one day after completion of
borings ST-2 through ST-4, encountering ground water at depths of
2.5 feet and 5 feet in borings ST-3 and ST-4, respectively, and
not encountering ground water to a cave-in depth of 6 feet in
boring ST-2. Ground water rechecks were performed in borings
ST-5 through ST-7, approximately 3 to 4 hours after their comple-
tion, with no ground water encountered to cave-in depths ranging
from 5 to 12 feet.
Based on the results of our ground water measurements and the
apparent moisture content of soil samples collected, it appears
86-047
City of Eden Prairie February 7, 1986
that the ground water within the assumed elevation ranges from 92
to 97 feet. However, it should be noted that water level
readings have been made in the borings at the times and under the
conditions stated on the boring logs. The period of observation
was relatively short, and fluctuations in the level of ground
water may occur due to changes in season, variations in rainfall,
temperature, and other factors not evident at the time measure-
ments were made and reported herein.
C. PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
C.1. Proposed Construction: At this time, development plans for
the site are in the preliminary stages. The future building con-
figuration, location on the site, and finished elevations have
not been determined. The analysis and recommendations presented
herein should be considered preliminary.
However, to provide preliminary recommendations for foundation
design, we have assumed the proposed buildings will be one to
two-story structures with structural loadings being moderately
light. We have assumed column loads will not exceed 200 kips and
bearing wall loads will not exceed 5 kips per linear foot of
wall. We assume all lower floors for any building constructed on
this site will be placed 1 to 2 feet above the 100-year flood
elevation.
C.2. Foundation Support: With regard to foundation support, the
borings taken for this investigation encountered various subsur-
face soil conditions which would affect the foundation require-
ments within the different boring locations. The paragraphs that
follow discuss foundation support characteristics of the soils
encountered in each of the brings.
BRAM
86-047
City of Eden Prairie -6- February 7, 1986
Below a thin layer of topsoil or organic swamp deposits, borings
ST-1, ST-2, ST-4, and ST-5 encountered natural soils suitable for
support of fill and typical spread footings designed to exert a
maximum soil bearing pressure in the range of 3,000 to 4,000
pounds per square foot (psf). The actual design bearing pressure
will depend on final grades, footing elevations, footing loads,
and settlement tolerance. These competent natural soils are
overlain by approximately 1 1/2 feet of topsoil or organic swamp
deposits which would have to be removed from below floor slabs
and footings.
Construction within the proximity of boring ST-3 would require a
total excavation of the peat and muck swamp deposits which
extend to a depth of 14 feet in ST-3. Excavations in this area
would then have to be backfilled with clean granular material, as
excavations would most likely extend well below the ground water
level. Clean sand would have to be used as backfill in this
area, and should have a maximum of 10% fines passing the #200
sieve. Dewatering of excavations would most likely be necessary.
In the area of borings ST-6 and ST-7, taken on the southern por-
tion of the site, silts and fat clays were encountered underlying
1.5 feet of topsoil. These silts and fat clays are susceptible
to excavation disturbance and to consolidation under fill and
building loads. If no significant raise in grade, or if building
loads are relatively light as stated previously, subcutting of
the silts and clays below foundations of approximately 3 to 4
feet and backfilling with clean sands may make it possible to use
a spread footing foundation system. A relatively light bearing
pressure of 1,500 psf to 3,000 psf for foundation design, and the
subcutting below footings, would likely be required to keep
settlement within a tolerable range. If further consideration is
mum
86-047
City of Eden Prairie -7- February 7, 1986
given to construction within this portion of the site, we would
recommend additional borings be completed to further evaluate
stability and consolidation of the silts and clays under building
and fill loads. Additional laboratory testing would likely
entail consolidation tests and shear strength tests such as
triaxial or direct shear.
Based on the results of borings ST-3, it appears that organic
swamp deposits extend fairly deep towards the eastern half of the
site, towards the area within the 100-year flood plain. If
construction is considered within this area, deep foundations,
such as piles, may be more economical than an
excavation/backfill. However, additional soil borings would need
to be taken within this area to further evaluate the depth of the
organic soils.
C.3. General Earthwork Requirements and Concerns: If an
excavation/backfill approach is used, the excavation will require
oversizing of 1 foot for each foot of fill below exterior
footings to provide lateral stability to the foundations. Also,
all fill within 2 feet of ground water should consist of clean
sand with 10% fines passing the #200 sieve. Once 2 feet above
ground water, any debris-free, non-organic mineral soil with a
moisture content within 3 percentage points of optimum moisture
could be used. The fill should be compacted to 90 to 95% of
modified Proctor, depending on the bearing pressure the footings
are designed to exert on the soils.
Also, construction within the influence of the MCC sewer back-
fill will likely not be feasible unless soil correction of the
pipe's backfill is completed. Typically, the backfill over this
sewer is not uniformly compacted and is subject to long-term
settlement that could be detrimental to a building.
BRAUN
86-047
City of Eden Prairie -8- February 7, 1986
C.4. Additional Testing: When the final location of the
building and parking areas are determined, we recommend that
additional soil borings be taken to assist in evaluating actual
excavation depths and foundation requirements.
D. GENERAL REMARKS
The analysis and preliminary recommendations submitted in this
report are based upon the data obtained from the seven soil
borings performed at the locations indicated on the attached
sketch. Variations may occur between these borings, the nature
and extent of which may not become evident until construction or
further investigation. We recommend that we be retained to
review designs and specifications as the project progresses to
develop an additional soils investigation.
Services performed by the geotechnical and material engineers for
this project have been conducted in a manner consistent with that
level of care and sill ordinarily exercised by members of the
profession currently practicing in this area under similar budget
and time restraints. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is
made.

February 3, 1986
Request From Jim Boyce Regarding Park Acquisition
On Friday, January 31, 1986, Jim Boyce called the Community Services
Department to question the status of his property in the park and open space
plan. The Director of Community Services indicated that the park and open
space plan projected open space along the north side of County Road 1 from the
Grill property west to Mitchell Road; however, the City does not have the
acquisition of his property in the Five Year Capital Improvement Program.
Mr. Boyce asked if the City would be interested in acquiring his property now
with the right to allow him to live there for another ten years. He also
wanted to know how much the City would be willing to pay for his property.
Staff explained the process for that kind of decision review, and agreed to
present his request to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
at their February 3 meeting.
Mr. Boyce owns two parcels of land totalling approximately 11.77 acres. The
site that includes his home is approximately a 3.8 acre parcel. His home is a
large, one story, single family residential structure with a walkout basement
to a pool and patio deck. The house has approximately 3,000 sq. ft. on the
main floor with an attached three car garage.
There are several questions the Commission should address prior to making a
recommendation to the City Council:
1. How important is the parcel to the integrity of the park?
2. How would the parcel be programmed in the park master plan?
3. Can the City afford to acquire this parcel at this time?
HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS PARCEL TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE PARK?
Obviously, the City park works with or without any further acquisition;
however, the Commission should consider what impact development of this parcel
would have on the park. The major consideration regarding development of this
site is the impact of development to the north over the crest of the hill.
Any development will require removal of vegetation (the majority of the mature
trees are white and red oak) and removal of vegetation over the crest of the
hill will have a serious impact on the wildlife that live in the park. The
heavy vegetation in this area provide cover for a variety of birds and
mammals.
Preservation of this area for public use would also widen the trail corridor
considerably and, in fact, would allow a trail from east to west that would
provide many magnificent views of the lake.
The house itself could be developed into a park shelter that would most likely
be limited for reservation use only, for company picnics, family reunions,
wedding parties, etc. The existing reservation facilities at Round Lake and
Staring Lake are booked nearly every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from May
through September. In ten years, Eden Prairie is projected to have a
population of over 40,000 and eventually over 60,000. It is very easy to
project the need for additional picnic reservation facilities in Staring Lake
Park.
If this parcel is developed, rather than sold to the City, the City will have
an opportunity to acquire at least a portion of the property through park
dedication and would obviously review any grading proposal very carefully.
HOW WOULD THE PARCEL BE PROGRAMMED IN THE PARK MASTER PLAN?
Mr. Boyce has indicated that he is only interested in selling this parcel to
the City if the City is willing to pay what he considers a fair price, and if
he is able to live in the residence for ten years; therefore, the City would
not have use of the parcel until 1996, if it were acquired this year. The
city would not plan on any improvements to the parcel until after 1996, other
than perhaps the east/west trailway along the north portion of the property.
CAN THE CITY AFFORD TO ACQUIRE THIS PARCEL AT THIS TIME?
The City is currently considerng the acquisition of an additional 24 acres at
Miller Park. Staff is also recommending the City consider acquisition of
property for a softball field complex in 1986, and later this year staff will
be recommending the City again apply for a LAWCON Grant to acquire additional
property at Riley Lake Park. The answer to the question is basically that the
City can afford to acquire these various sites under the following conditions:
A. The price is right on the various sites.
B. The terms are right on the various sites.
C. Everyone must recognize that there is a limited amount of money in the
park fund; when more is spent on park acquisition, less is available for
park development, and some of the proposed park development may be
delayed for a year or more.
Staff would rank Hidden Glen Park acquisition, Miller Park acquistion, the
softball field acquisition, and Riley Lake Park acquisition as higher
priorities that the acquisition of the Boyce property for Staring Lake Park:
however, because the property owner has initiated a request and because the
park and open space plan for the City has always depicted this parcel as being
within the park boundaries, the Community Services staff recommend the Council
consider obtaining an appraisal of this site as a basis for structuring a
favorable set of terms for the acquisition of the property.
It should be made very clear to the property owner that the City is making no
commitments to acquire the property this time, no matter what the appraisal
indicates regarding the value of the property.
If the Commission and Council do not wish to consider the acquisition of the
Boyce property at this time, that decision should also be made so staff is
able to respond to the property owner's request.

IV. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
A. Request from Jim Boyce Regarding Acquisition of His Property
Refer to memo dated February 3, 1986 from Bob Lambert, Director of
Community Services.
Lambert reported that Jim Boyce had contacted the Community
Services Department on Friday to ask about the status of his
property in the park and open space plan. Boyce's property is
located north of County Road 1 within the boundaries of Staring
Lake Park. Boyce is interested in selling his property to the City
if they are willing to pay a fair price and if he would be able to
live there for another ten years. Lambert feels the City should
get an appraisal to determine the value of the property.

Baker asked if there is enough land available to be used for
softball fields. Lambert said no, there are only about 12 acres,
mostly wooded and on a slope. The Boyce home is a large rambler
with a walk-out basement.
Lambert referred to an aerial photo of the property at this time.
He said that park property is located to the vest and north of this
site and the major reason to acquire it would be to preserve the
park around it.
Jessen asked how much an appraisal will cost. Lambert said
approximately $500.00.
Kingrey said he feels the property would be of value on a long term
basis.
MOTION: A motion was made by Kingrey to recommend that an
iTTTillal be done on the Boyce property and to explore the future
value and possible terms to purchase the property with a status
report to be brought back to the Commission before a final decision
is made. Gonyea seconded the motion and it passed 6-0.
V. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
A. Reuter, Inc.
Refer to staff report dated January 10, 1986 and memo dated
January 31, 1986 from Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services.
Lambert reported that this development has already been zoned, but
the request involves grading in the floodplain and shoreland area
of Nine Mile Creek. It requires the review of the Parks and
Recreation Commission because it encroaches the floodplain.
MOTION: Breitenstein made a motion to recommend approval per the
planning staff report. Cook seconded the motion and it passed 6-0.
B. Douglas Corporation Headquarters
Refer to staff report dated December 6, 1985 and memo dated
January 31, 1986 from Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services.
Lambert introduced the architect representing the Opus Corporation.
He reviewed the site plan which is located on the old Northrup King
site between the vo-tech and new Anderson Lakes Parkway. The
request is for PUD concept revision, as Douglas Corporation is
proposing an automotive parts manufacturing facility and offices on
the 65 acre site. Five to six acres to the west of the site are

February 13, 1986
Recommendation on Engineering Firm for Hydro/Geological
Analysis
On February 13, 1986, Bob Lambert and Gene Dietz interviewed representatives from
the four firms that submitted proposals on the Feasibility Study for the Purgatory
Creek Recreation Area Master Plan. The firms submitted the following cost
estimates:
• Barrientos & Associates, Inc. $22,022
• Hickok and Associates
47,180
• Barr Engineering
30,000
• TKDA
31,500
The firm of Barrientos & Associates proposed to use Braun Engineering as their soils
consultant. This firm has relatively little experience as a company dealing with
recreation development of floodplain areas. The majority of their background deals
with bridge and road contruction, however, some of the individuals on the team have
had various amounts of experience dealing with projects that created siltation
ponds, etc. Even though this firm had the lowest projected fee for the project,
staff were very uncomfortable recommending this company for this project.
TKDA proposed to use Twin City Testing as the soils analysis sub-contractor. TKDA
does have alandscape architect on staff and the company has had extensive experience
working with projects relating to poor soils; however, few of the projects are
recreation designed projects. The company has worked with three different, golf
courses including the Golden Valley Golf Course in improving drainage, and building
up the height of tees and fairways, etc.; however, they have not been responsible
for any new golf course development or any finished park projects.
Barr Engineering is a company that has the most experience dealing with the
Purgatory Creek floodplain and they have proposed to use Braun Engineering, a
company with extensive boring information on the property surrounding the site, as
their soils consultant. If the Council wants to have a company strictly review the
feasibility of the master plan as designed, staff would recommend Barr Engineering;
however, if the Council anticipates any changes from the original plan, the City
would be required to contract with a park planning firm to work with Barr
Engineering to design any proposed changes.
Barr Engineering is the only one of the three companies that submitted proposals
that did not include a landscape architect on the design team. The City knows that
the major entry will have to be moved due to the existing location of the Flagship,
and City staff anticipate redesign of the ponds and quite possibly redesign or
elimination of the golf course depending on what the feasibility report indicates
regarding soils and flood elevations. Staff believes it is important to have a
landscape architect as a part of the team in order to depict the final concept plan
and the cost estimates for each phase of construction.

RE: Follow up to memo of January 24, 1986 regarding faulty
Neptune brand remote water meter readers
The remote readers can "malfunction" for a variety of reasons
such as bad remote, the wire cut during remodeling, kids break
wires while playing, remote damaged by baseball bat,etc.
The 2,000 Neptune units were installed in the years 1979 through
1983. Since their installation through 1985 there have been 366
repairs to Neptune units - 18.3% of the units. The failure rate
on Rockwell brand units is 1.9% (5,671 units installed, 110 failures).
The failure rate of the Neptune units appears to be 5% per year
and with a total failure rate of 18.3%, we believe that all the
units will eventually fail.
When this failure situation was detected, Neptune offered to give
us replacement readers free of charge. We rejected the idea
because the remotes were the same kind as those failing and decided
instead to replace them with Rockwell brand readers at a cost of
$15.00. Replacement takes two men about 20 minutes.
Our recommended plan of action is:
Send letters to customers asking them to read the inside meter.
1) Identify those homes with differences between the inside
and outside readers and replace these faulty units as
fast as possible. Because many homes in Eden Prairie
have nobody home during the day we may hire additional
help and/or re-schedule working hours of existing staff.
2) Replace the balance of the remotes as time and conditions
dictate.
3) Continue to talk with representatives of the Neptune company
in an attempt to resolve this problem. They have had some
personnel changes and the new people appear to be willing
to come to a more acceptable solution.
4) In order to receive compliance with the request to read
the inside meter we would forgive any back billings due to
a faulty Neptune remote. Remote failure not due to a faulty
remote would be billed.

RE: 2,000 Neptune brand water meters purchased during 1979,
1980,1981 and 1982
The meters purchased during this period from Neptune appear to have
an abnormally high failure rate of their remote readers. We have
previously attempted to resolve this problem when it became apparent
that the consumptions for a particular account were slowing down or
had stopped. This is a time consuming and expensive method. All
suspected slowdowns had to be checked by Water Department personnel;
some slowdowns were not caused by faulty remotes. When a defective
remote reader was detected the remote was replaced and the customer
was billed for the difference. It is an understatement to say the
customer was unhappy to receive a "catch-up" bill when the City's
equipment was faulty.
This problem came to a head when an account was found to be under-billed
by 400,000+ gallons. Billing the customer for the difference would
result in a catch-up bill in excess of $400 and there are undoubtly
more like this.
We propose to resolve this situation by sending letters to customers
who may have Neptune meters asking them to read this meter inside
the home. We can then identify the bad remote readers and replace
them. The ones still functioning would be replaced over time as
personnel became available.
In order for this to work we would have to forgive the unbilled
consumption because if the customer knew that a bill would be coming
he would not respond to the questionaire. I have to believe there
are customers who know they are being underbilled. Also since 1979
many homes have new owners and it it impossible to tell the consumption
of the old owner and the new owner.
Refunds would be made to customers with Neptune meters who have or
had catch-up bills.
