Carl Jullie
City Manager
8950 Eden Prairie Road
Eden Prairie, MN. 55344
Dear Carl,
I appreciated the opportunity to meet with you and the other Eden Prairie
folks last Wednesday. I believe there are some definite ways that South
Hennepin Human Services Council (SHHSC) can be of service to Eden Prairie
and the other 3 cities in South Hennepin. I am looking forward to the
challenge of coordination and planning.
I would like to speak to your city council in March about the coordinated
transportation project. Please advise me if March 18th is the best time
to attend your city council meeting. A summary of the project is as
follows:
In February of this year Minnegasco awarded a 12 passenger VAN to the
cities of Eden Prairie, Richfield and Bloomington. This VAN is fitted
with a wheelchair lift, can run on either regular gasoline or compressed
natural gas, and is intended to be used to transport the elderly and
handicapped within and between the 3 cities. It will also be used for
special trips on weekends and evenings and for regular trips to downtown
Minneapolis.
The award of the VAN did not include operating costs (driver and mainten-
ance). These expenses will have to be supported by another source other
than Minnegasco.
SHHSC, because of its joint powers agreement with the 3 cities involved,
has agreed to be the recipient (grantee) of the VAN and will in turn
subcontract with Suburban Paratransit Company to deliver the service.
SHHSC has also taken steps to secure operating costs for the VAN. The
first step has been to apply to Community Action of Suburban Hennepin
(CASH) for approximately 518,000 for operating costs for the first six
9801 Penn Avenue South • Room 100 • Bloomington, Minnesota 55431 • (612?88&5530

months of operation. If this money is granted, the funds will be
subcontracted to Suburban Paratransit and the service can begin
immediately. If the CASH grant is not realized, other funding will
be pursued. Financial assistance from the 3 cities will almost
certainly be requested sometime in the near future for continued
operating expenses for this vehicle.
Transportation seems to be one of the priority needs of the citizens of
Eden Prairie. SHHSC is eager to work with all 4 cities in the South
Hennepin area to address this need.
Sincerely,
Larry Oppold
Executive Director

Industrial and preliminary plat of 9.56 acres for an office/-
warehouse/service area. Location: West 78th Street and Prairie
Center Drive. (Ordinance No. 34-85 - zoning; Resolution No. 85-I99 -
preliminary plat)
City !tanager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing was published
and property owners within the project vicinity were notified.
Bob Worthington, Executive Director for Governmental Affairs for Opus,
addressed the request.
Plannning Director Enger said this request had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its meeting on August 26, 1985, at which time
discussion centered around design criteria which had been developed
about a year ago. Action on the request was continued to September 9,
1985, and to September 23, 1985, at which time revised plans were
discussed and are as presented to the Council tonight. The Planning
Commission voted (4 - 0) to recommend approval subject to the
recommendations included in the Staff Reports dated August 23, 1985,
and September 20, 1985, and based on the revised plans dated September
16, I985,
Pidcock asked if the exterior would be brick. Worthington said it
would be face brick, not brick veneer. Pidcock asked about the
traffic which would be generated by Dataserv. Enger said there would
be about 900 more trips per day.
City Council Minutes -4- October 15, 1985
Anderson asked about the need for a sidewalk along West 78th Street.
Redpath noted that the park owned by Rosemount provides access to the
east. Anderson said that is fenced off; he said he believed it would
be in the City's best interest to have a sidewalk along one side of
West 78th Street from Prairie Center Drive east to Highway 169. Enger
said that could be looked into before 2nd Reading is given on this
request. Redpath asked if the City was willing to pay for a sidewalk
in this area. Peterson said that issue should be addressed when a
report is made on the feasibility of a sidewalk is presented.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public
Hearing and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 34-85. Motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No.
85-199, approving the preliminary plat of Dataserv, Inc. for Opus
Corporation. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to direct Staff to
prepare a Developer's Agreement per Commission and Staff recom-
mendations; prior to 2nd Reading there is to be consultation between
the proponent and Staff relative to the issue of a sidewalk along
West 78th Street. Motion carried unanimously.
Worthington indicated they would like to continue with grading on this
site due to the weather conditions. Bentley asked Staff how long it
would take to put together a Developer's Agreement for this proposal.
Enger said that could be done in two weeks. There was discussion
regarding the grading which is to be done. Redpath said he could see
no harm in allowing grading since other grading has taken place in
this area. Peterson said he would concur as long as there was not
even minor grading on the southern portion of the property. Anderson
said the Council seems to run into this same problem every year at
this time. Enger stated there have been conditions under which such
permits have been allowed in the past including the time of year, no
significant outstanding issues to be resolved between 1st and 2nd
Readings, no significant natural resources on the site; grading bonds
in the hand of the City prior to release of the permit, and erosion
control measures in place. Bentley said the proponent must also
realize that grading will be done at their own risk. Worthington said
they would not have a problem with any of those provisions.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Redpath, to allow Opus Corporation
to begin grading with the understanding that the grading would be done
at its own risk, that no grading would take place on the southern
portion of the property, that the City would be provided with the
necessary grading bond, and that erosion control measures would be put
in place. Motion carried unanimously.
City Council Minutes -5- October 15, 1985
B. FEASIBILTY REPORT FOR TECHNOLOGY DRIVE EXTENSIDN FROM PURGATORY CREEK
IU PRAIRIE CENTER DRIVE, I.C. 52-010 D (Resolution No. 85-235)
City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been
published and notices were hand delivered to owners of affected
properties.
Director of Public Works Dietz addressed the report. Dietz stated
Staff would recommend modifying the tax increment financing district
to include this area to help pay for the project. Dietz also noted
comments which had been received from Mr. Hyde, one of the property
owners.
Bentley asked if a semaphore at the Technology Drive - Mitchell Road
intersection had been considered as a part of the overall project.
Dietz said that had not been considered yet; stop signs would be
installed however. Bentley said he thought this might be included in
the tax increment financing district. Dietz said that was a good
idea. Pidcock said she felt it was necessary to install a signal at
the Technology Drive - Mitchell Road intersection since many
apartments have been approved in the area to the south. Redpath said
consideration should be given to signalizing the Anderson Lakes
Parkway - Scenic Heights Road - Mitchell Road intersection also.
Anderson suggested that other considerations be given to the treatment
of the Purgatory Creek crossing other than the installation of a box
culvert. Dietz said this would be treated in the same way that the
creek crossing in the vicinity of Flying Cloud Drive and Wilson Ridge
was.
Matt Carpenter, 9011 Highpoint Circle, spoke to the assessments which
would be levied against property in which he has an interest. He
asked the Council to adopt a resolution stating his property is to
have a regional-commercial use because of the cost of the assessments.
Bentley stated this was not an assessment hearing. He suggested that
the Carpenter property might never have access from Highway 5.
Bentley noted a letter from Gary Erickson dated sometime in 1982 in
which access to the property was discussed. Bentley noted this
project is very important to the overall road system in the Major
Center Area and said the City would be assuming a substantial
obligation.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the Public
Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 85-235, ordering improvements and
preparation of plans and specifications for I.C. 52-1010, Technology
Drive extension from Purgatory Creek to Prairie Center Drive.
�`,�i
City Council Minutes -6- October 15, 1985

of the project.

C. EASEMENT VACATION IN OUTLOT E, CITY WEST 2ND ADDITION
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing was published

Director of Public Works Dietz addressed the vacation and noted it was
essentially a housekeeping item.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public
Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 85-232, vacating drainage and
utility easements in Outlot E, City West Second Addition. Motion
carried unanimously.
D. PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF $750,000 IN MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPt1ENT
BONDS TO RON-MAR ASSOCIATES (Resolution No. 85-241)
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been
published.

proponent had been able to obtain part of the City of Silver Bay's
bond allocation.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the Public
Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 85-241 A, authorizing the
execution of a joint powers agreement and No. 85-241 B, reciting a
proposal for a commercial facilities development project giving
preliminary approval to the project pursuant to the Minnesota
Municipal Industrial Development Act authorizing the submission of an
application for approval' of the project to the Energy and Economic

A. Resolution No. 85-236, Final Approval for Municipal Industrial Devel-
opment Bonds in the amount of $4,850,000 for Bryant Lake Partners
formerly called Evergreen).
City Manager Jullie stated these bonds are included in the City's 1985
allocation. He noted the proponent has requested that the City waive
its 1/8 of 1% City Revenue Bond fee, claiming that it had not been
told of any such fee; however Staff noted the proponent's bond
attorney was aware of the fee.
Stan Baratz, Vice President of Development for Welsh Companies, and
Judy Hall, bond counsel with Briggs and Morgan, were present to
address the request.
The Council discussed the 1/8 of 1% fee in light of the proponent's
request. Bentley said he would like to have Staff resolve this
matter. Finance Director Frane stated the proponent's bond attorney
had knowledge of the City's fee.
MOTION: Redpath moved to adopt Resolution No. 85-236, forgiving the
last five years of the 1/8 of 1% fee. Motion died for lack of a
second.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Peterson, to adopt Resolution No.
85-236, and to assess a 1/8 of 1% one-time-only fee. Motion carried
with Bentley, Redpath and Peterson voting "aye"; and Anderson and
Pidcock voting "no".
Bentley said he would like to have a discussion of this policy at the
next Council meeting.
City Council Minutes -B- October 15, 1985
VII. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Layout Plan approval for Baker Road between Arbor Glen and CSAH 62
(Resolution No. 85-238)
Director of Public Works Dietz introduced Hennepin County staff
members Ted Hoffman, Chief Design Engineer, and Bruce Polaczyk,
Preliminary Design Engineer, who were present to review the
preliminary layout of Baker Road for which the bids for improvements
are to be let in the Spring of 1936. The estimated costs of the
improvements is $1.9 million. The proposal calls for a bikeway on the
east side of the roadyway immediately behind the curb. The road will
be designed for a speed of 40 miles per hour. Hoffman indicated the
County would like to have the Council give approval to its preliminary
design plans so work can begin on the final plans.
Anderson expressed concern about the fact that the elementary school
and the park are on the west side of Baker Road and there is no way
for those living east of Baker to reach those facilities. Hoffman
said the logical crossing would be at Holly Road. Anderson asked if
the site distances at that location were adequate. Hoffman said they
were. Bentley asked what the County's position is on a pedestrian
crossing signal at that intersection. Hoffman said a study would be
made when the project is completed to see if a signal is warranted.
Bentley asked about have a signal which could be pedestrian activated.
Hoffman said they would not support that; the County would only
support a fully-signalized intersection.
John Palm, St. John's floods resident, expressed concern that there
would be drainage problems and water would drain down into St. John's
Woods. He called attention to the fact that the oak knoll will be
removed. Palm asked the Council to withhold approval of the plan
until the residents of the area have seen the plan and been heard.
Dick Feerick, Arbor Glen Drive, said cars will be driven at 50 miles
per hour along this roadway. He said he believed signals are needed
at Holly Road and Baker and that it is best to do that now.
Bentley asked what the County's timetable is. Hoffman said they are
on a tight schedule even if they were to get approval this evening.
He indicated they would like to start work on flay 1, 1986, so it can
be completed in one construction season. Bentley said he would like
to see a trail on the west side of Baker Road. He also stated he
would like to see how the oak knoll might be saved. Bentley said he
would like to see the grading plans as well as the sight lines; there
was not enough detail presented this rt-LI
City Council Minutes -9- October 15, 1985
8
°, MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Bentley, to continue this matter
to the November 5, 1985, meeting of the City Council.
Bentley stated he was not opposed to the concepts presented but he
would like to have the opportunity to study this. Hoffman said they
are anxious to get to the detailed-design phase of the project which
would then provide specific answers to questions. Bentley asked if
what had been presented was a request for concept approval. Hoffman
said it was for preliminary design approval.
THE t1OTION WAS WITHDRAWN BY PIDCOCK WITH BENTLEY'S CONSENT.
Hoffman stated the County was looking for a commitment on the part of
the City so it could proceed with plans for this roadway. City
t4anager Jullie suggested it might be helpful if the County Staff and
the City Engineering Department Staff would agree to meet with
residents of St. John's Woods and other areas affected to further
review the plans. Dietz noted the plans presented by the County are
similar to a Feasibililty Report at the City level.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No.
85-238, approving the alignment of Baker Road with the suggestion that
Hennepin County and City Engineering Department Staff meet with
residents of St. John's Woods and other interested parties regarding
the plans, the results of such a meeting to be reported back to the
City Council. Motion carried unanimously. •
B. Review of decision made byy the Board of Appeals & Adjustments
regar -iug Request No. 8577-11he 9oard determined the proposed
Normanda e Racquet andSwim Club to be a permitted use in a Community
Commercial Zoning District.
City Manager Jullie noted materials included in the Council Packet
pertaining to this issue including a three-page memorandum dated
October 1, 1985, which outlined the critical issues of this matter.
Planning Director Enger addressed the request before the Council.
Enger reviewed the City Code and pointed out that the Code gives the
characteristics of a zoning district rather than a list of what is
permitted within a district. Enger also reviewed the October 1, I985,
memorandum.
Peter Beck, attorney with the Larkin & Hoffman firm representing the
tlormandale Tennis Club, said it is not what the prior ordinaces said
but whether the current ordinances allow this use. He said the size
of the building is within the limits of this zone. Beck stated this
is not a single-use facility. There is nothing in the zoning code
that says the full range of uses must be included in the zone. Beck
said the club would generate 1500 trips per day in the winter whereas
centers such as the Preserve Village and Prairie Village Centers

said he believes the tennis club will be an excellent neighbor to the
residential uses in the area. Beck noted the Board of Appeals
determined this to be a proper use in this zoning district. He stated
the property is not marketable as a shopping center. He emphasized
that the City would lose architectural control if this use were not
allowed. Beck said the City has supported the tennis club concept by
suggesting other sites none of which is workable due to high costs,
not enough land, or the land being unavailable. Beck asked that the
City Council uphold the decision of the Board of Appeals.
Pidcock asked for City Attorney Pauly's interpretation. Pauly said
the issue is limited to two questions: is this a permitted use within
this zoning district and is the community-commercial district the
proper district for such a use. Pauly said two criteria should be
addressed by the Council in its decision: whether this constitutes an
area for retail store/office establishments and whether they are
patronized by residents of the immolate area. Pauly noted the Board
of Appeals concluded this use fell within the definition given in the
City Code. Pidcock asked if it would be fair to say that the City
would be denying Bailey his right to sell his land if this were turned
down. Pauly said that would not be the case.
Anderson pointed out that the uses in the area of Minnetonka due north
of this site are regional uses. He said there was no development to
the north when the City's Guide Plan was adopted in 1979. Anderson
questionned how many people would use a shopping center on the site
under discussion if one were to be built.
Bentley said he believed the question before the Council was whether
or not a sport and health club was a proper use in a community-
commercial zone. Bentley said this issue could be raised in any part
of the City. He said he believed the magnitude of the proposal
indicates it does not belong in a community-commercial zone.
Anderson asked if this could be sent back to the Planning Commission.
Pauly said the proponent has agreed to site plan review but sending
this back to the Planning commission is not an issue. Pauly then
asked Beck if the proponent would have a problem with this going to
the Planning Commission. Beck said that would not be a problem.
Peterson said he was not adverse to the project, but he thought the
Council should be sensitive to the issues raised by Staff. He said
the Council must consider whether it is going to enlarge the
definition of the community-commercial zone or is it going to rezone
the site.
Pidcock asked if it was possible to have this facility constructed in
the Highway 5 - Mitchell Road area. Peterson said there would be
minimal negative impact on the neighboring residences in that area.
Peter Stalland, attorney for the Baileys (owners of the property),
said there were some key legal points involved with this issue: when
556
City Council Minutes -11- October 15, 1985 I
i
there is an ambiguity in a zoning ordinance it should be strictly •
construed in favor of the property owner; if this is denied it will
infringe on the constitutional rights of the property owner and the
property will be devalued; the City's zoning ordinance is very broad
and it appears the Staff is allowed to pick and choose what is allowed
which can be interpreted as being arbitrary. Stalland indicated that
all parties interested want this use. Bentley said there is nothing
to preclude the property owner from requesting a zoning change. City
Attorney Pauly stated he believed the main issue was whether this
facility was to serve the residents of the immediate area.
John Palm, resident of St. John's Woods, said he felt restrictions
could be put in place without having to change the zoning.
Dick Feerick, Arbor Glen resident, said he would like to see this site
used for a tennis club. He said he thought the development process
should be beneficial, in the sense of enjoyment and satisfaction, to
the community.
Liz Engstrom, St. John's woods resident, said she would like to have a
tennis club on this site; she believed a shopping center would
decrease the property values.
Jerry Bailey, owner of the property, said he believes the zoning
( ordinance is a good one. He said he believes the use is appropriate
for this site and would be a good land use. Bailey said he thought
the issue has been caused by the process.
Redpath said he would not like to have this site zoned regional-
commercial.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Pidcock, to affirm the decision
and findings of the Board of Appeals; and to have Staff look into
further clarification via site plan review with the plan to be
referred to the Planning Commission for site plan review.
Bentley said he thought the health club proposal was an excellent one
for that site. He said he did not agree that a shopping center was
necessarily a good use for that site. Bentley said he did not think
this was a permitted use in this zone.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried with Bentley voting "no".
C. Grading Permit Request from Equitable
Kay Schumacher, representing Equitable, addressed the request for the
grading permit.
Director of Public Works Dietz noted this would give the City an
opportunity to get some fill which would be necessary for the Valley
View Road project.

Joint Meeting Minutes -2- December 3, 1985
III. WATERSHED DISTRICT ACTIVITY REVIEW -- 1984 - 1985
Frederick Richards gave an overview of the role of the watershed districts
as outlined in State Statutes. Richards also noted the focus of activity
in each of the Districts.
IV. REVIEW OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR 1985 - 1986
Richards noted the projects which are scheduled for 1986 in each of the
Districts.
Each of the District Presidents reviewed the District in which they are
involved.
V. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
A. Summary of Watershed District Rules and Regulations -- Permits
Required
Pidcock asked the relationship of the Districts to the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency. Richards said the Districts have adopted
the various water control standards used in the State. He said the
Districts look to the PCA for the promulgation of those rules.
B. Implementation Processes - Major Areas of Concern
Mayor Peterson asked what provisions there are, if any, for salt water
run-off. Sorensen explained skimming devices are used. Fiskness
stated cities have altered the ratio of sand to salt so there is now
more sand used than salt.
Anderson asked if Nine Mile Creek, which flows into Bryant Lake and
then into Lone Lake, could be tied into the trail system in some
manner. He said he believed the Watershed Districts have a unique
opportunity to tie the systems together.
Rahr asked what value is placed on wetlands by the City of Eden
Prairie, the Nine Mile Creek District, and the Lower Minnesota River
District. Bentley noted the City is experiencing the pressures of
urbanization. He said that PUDs have clustered development away from
wetland areas so they are preserved.
C. Philosophy of Watershed District in Capital Improvement Programs and
Funding of Water Management Projects
This area was touched upon by each of the District Presidents in their
review of each district.
�lD�
Joint Meeting Minutes -3- December 3, 1985

RE: Autumn Woods Special Assessment Agreement
Included with the agenda is a special assessment agreement between Trumpy
Development, Inc., and the City regarding special assessments for the
construction of Dell Road south of Twilight Trail and north of the railroad
tracks. The requirement for this agreement was a condition of the Developer's
Agreement and final plat approval.
The terms of the agreement were actually determined a number of years ago when
the easements for Dell Road north of this section were acquired for
construction. The amount of the assessments is fixed at $25,000 and the other
terms are satisfactory with Staff.
The purpose of this agreement is that it can be recorded against the property
at a time when we are dealing with just one developer. Since we do not plan
to construct the road in the immediate future, we might have been required to
deal with a number of property owners at some time in the future when the road
was actually constructed. I recommend that the agreement be approved and the
Mayor and City Manager be authorized to execute on behalf of the City.

RE: Contract for Cooperative Signal Installation
1-494 at CSAH 62
The agenda contains a Resolution to authorize the attached Cooperative Signal
Agreement with State of Minnesota, Hennepin County and Minnetonka for the
installation at Crosstown and 1-494. The terms of the agreement are
consistent with other installations that we have in Eden Prairie. Because of
the Federal funding involved in this project, the City's share is limited to
$3,726. In addition, we do have a responsibility for electricity and some
maintenance items.
I recommend that the Resolution be adopted and that the Mayor and Manager be
authorized- to execute the agreement.

RE: Revocation and Redesignation of CSAH 1
A few years ago, Hennepin County and the Minnesota Department of
Transportation cooperated to reconstruct the intersection of TH 169 and
Pioneer Trail (CSAH 1). During this project, Pioneer Trail was re-routed to
the south side of what use to be the Prairie Dairy Store. As a result of this
construction, old Pioneer Trail has become a City street. The attached
Resolution would officially revoke the County designation from old Pioneer
Trail and redesignate CSAH 1 at its present alignment.
I recommend that the Resolution be adopted.

RE: Consultant Review
Remedial Investigation, BFI
I have interviewed two hydro geology consulting firms to review the remedial
investigation report for BFI. The firms were Bruce A. Liesch & Associates and
Lehman and Associates. After a brief interview process, I am recommending
that the City Council authorize the work to be done by Lehman & Associates,
based on the attached proposal.
I did investigate the possibility of using University Staff to assist us in
this work. However, I found that the suggested professors that would be able
to do this work were not available at this time. Therefore, the interviews
were confined to the private sector.
While the fee schedule is somewhat higher than the Council originally
authorized, both firms saw almost exactly the same amount of effort required
(_ to provide a competent analysis of the report (Liesch & Associates estimated
the cost not to exceed $4,800).

THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager

DATE: March 6, 1986
SUBJECT: Resolution Supporting Local Outdoor Recreation Funding
On January 28, 1985, President Reagan established the President's Commission on
Americans Outdoors (PCAO) for the purpose of studying the quantity and quality of
recreation opportunities in the nation, and to determine how the nation will deal
with recreation issues in the year 2000. The Commission on Minnesotans Outdoors
(COMO) was established by Lt. Governor Marlene Johnson to provide information to
PCAO by answeringthe questions: 1) In 2000, what will Minnesotans want to do
outdoors? and 2) How can we be sure they have the appropriate places to do it?
Staff applaude the efforts of these two Commissions because they help focus
attention on important recreation issues, and because they are inviting everyone
with an interest in recreation to testify or submit written testimony. The City of
Eden Prairie can provide input by approving a resolution that promotes the concept
of COMO and PCAO, emphasizing the role local governments must play by providing
testimony for the Commissions and to demonstrate wide based support for local and
regional recreation grant programs.
Community Services Staff request the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission and the City Council consider approving Resolution #86-40 supporting
local outdoor recreation funding. This resolution would then be forwarded to COMO,
our State Legislators and our Congressmen.

MEMORANDUM
AP TO: Mayor and City Council
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
THRU: Carl Jullle, City Manager
FROM: Bob'Lambert, Director of Community Services
DATE: February 27, 1986
SUBJECT: Softball Field Fencing Bids
In 1979, when the park bond referendum was approved that included developing
six softball fields at Round Lake Park, the City anticipated developing the
fields in phases. The first phase was to grade and seed the fields and make
them playable. the second phase was to add irrigation. Irrigation was
installed in 1982. The third phase was to provide permanent fencing and light
fields #2 and #3.
In 1984, adult softball teams agreed to pay an extra $60 per team for summer
league play and $40 per team for fall league play to be earmarked for a
special fund for field improvements at Round Lake and Staring Lake Park. The
teams requested that permanent fencing and lighting be installed as soon as
possible. The City collected approximately $9,700 in 1984 and $10,200 in 1985.
Staff would estimate revenues in excess of $10,000 per year from this fund.
In a separate memo, staff will review quotations for lighting fields #2 and #3
at Round Lake Park and rationale for the need for lighting those facilities.
The basic need for lighting softball fields is to obtain maximum use of the
exisiting facilities in an attempt to accommodate the ever gwowing need for
these facilities. The major reason to provide permanent fencing is one of
safety; however, maintenance costs and aesthetics also are reasons for
consideration of this request.
The existing snow fence that is used for outfield fences is not desirable for
adult play in that the wood slates often break when players run into the
fence, and due to the low height of the fence, players often fall over the top
of the fence when concentrating on a fly ball. If they fall over an area that
has previously been broken severe injury can occur.
Commission members and Council members will note that staff has provided
written bids on 9 guage, vinyl clad chain link fence. Staff is recommending a
black vinyl clad fence, rather than regular galvanized steel fence for Round
Lake Park due to the aesthetics of the vinyl clad product. Staff believe the
galvanized steel fabric and posts are very appropriate in typical athletic
field complexs; however, in community parks such as Round Lake where the City
continues to invest thousands of dollars in landscaping to improve the
aesthetics of the area, staff e believes the cost difference between the vinyl
coated fence and the galvanized steel fence is worth the investment. The
black vinyl coated fence provides a very neat fence that blends into the
surrounding terrain; whereas, the galvanized steel chain link fence changes
the character of the park to an athletic field.
/ Lc
The Community Services staff recommend the low bid of Finley Brothers of
r $21,078.40 for the vinyl clad 9 gauge wire and vinyl clad steel posts and
hardware. This improvement should be funded from cash park fees and
reimbursement from the ballfield improvement fund.

FROM: Stuart A. Fox
OATE: February 26, 1986
SUBJECT: Softball Field Fencing Bids
On February 25, 1986, bid quotations were received from four (4) fencing
bidders related to the outfield perimeter fences of four (4) softball fields
at Round Lake Park. The basic bid package was as follows:
1. Eight (8) foot high fence (foul line to foul line).
2. 9 gauge vinyl clad fabric, with vinyl clad posts and hardware.
3. Two openings (without gates) at each of the four fields.
The alternate bid was as above except #2 - galvanized steel posts and
hardware.
A summary of the bids is as follows:
company Base Bid Average Cost Total Bid (2) Alt. Bid Average Cost Alt. Total (2)
Per Field (1) Per Field (1)
Crowley Fence $9.30/ft• $4,984.00 $19,936.00 $B.30/ft• $4,138.00 $16,552.00

EXPLANATIONS:
1. Average cost per field - based on 440 lineal feet of fencing, plus 2
openings in fence.
2. Total bid - based on 1760 lineal feet of fencing, plus 8 openings in
fence.
•. Bid is not as per specification. Bidder submitted a bid for 11 gauge
wire, plus vinyl coating which would equal the g gauge wire size. It is
not acceptable to install this type of fence.
As a meter of referencing, the fence costs of a total vinyl fence system
versus a total galvanized system, I was informed by several fencing
contractors that the comparable costs would be as follows:
Total vinyl coated fence (based on bid) $1D.84/ft or $5,269.00/field
Vinyl fabric/metal posts (based on bid) $9.80/ft or $4,612.00/field
Galvanized fabric/metal post $7.35 to $8.60/ft or $3,525.00 to $4,500/field.

Olson said it could be a mistake to light Round Lake Park and then
find a more suitable location in the next couple of years. Lambert
said the City Needs Study Committee felt that at least six lighted
new fields would be necessary by 1990 plus the Round Lake park
fields and the Staring Lake Park fields.
Jacobsen asked Lambert if he knew anything about the residents near
Dred Scott field in Bloomington that were opposing the lighting.
Lambert said he was not aware of this, but did note that many
expensive new homes are being built around the park.
John Pollock, who lives on Hillcrest Court, asked about the
possibility of lighting the Flying Cloud fields instead. Lambert
said the ballfields at Flying Cloud are youth baseball fields at
this time and the City does not want to put anymore money into them
because they are only temporary and can be taken back by the
Airport Commission with a 90 day notice. Our existing lease
doesn't allow lighting any of those fields.
Steve Lee, who lives on Luther Way, asked why it was felt that a
trail on Red Rock Lake would be an eyesore, but lighting Round Lake
Park would not be. Lambert reminded Mr. Lee that he agreed that
the lighting standards would be an intrusion on the aesthetics of
the park.
Brenner asked why there is so much pressure to light Round Lake
Park. Lambert said that if facilities are not provided, the City
will get pressure from industries who are not able to have teams.
Lambert said that with the high cost of land and the high cost to
develop new parks, it is only fiscally responsible to make the most
use of the facilities we already have.
Bracke presented the petition from residents opposing the lighting
of Round Lake Park to the Commission at this time.
Shaw said he feels the City should make good use of the facilities
it has and that the lighting of Round Lake Park would be a good
move for the City.
MOTION: Shaw moved to recommend approving the lighting of Fields 2
and 3 at Round Lake Park per staff recommendation. Cook seconded
the motion and it passed 6-0.

Lambert said the staff recommendation is to accept the low bid of
Finley Brothers for $21,078.40 for a vinyl clad 9 gauge wire and
vinyl clad steel posts and hardware for fields 1 thru 4. The fence
will be paid for by the softball improvement fund.
Shaw asked about the manufacturers warranty on vinyl clad fences.
Lambert said it is the same as for a chain link fence -- 15 years.
Cook said the City is lucky no one has hurt themselves seriously on
the snow fence up to now. He also agreed with the extra cost for
the vinyl fence in order to maintain the character of the park as
much as possible.
MOTION: Cook moved to recommend approval per staff recommendation.
Baker seconded the motion and it passed 6-0.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
A. Unauthorized Motor Vehicle Use of City Parks and Trails
Refer to memo dated February 24, 1986 from Bob Lambert, Director of
Community Services.
Lambert invited Jim Clark of the Public Safety Department and
representatives of the Eden Prairie Snowdrifters Club to present
their ideas on solutions to the problem. He said the majority of
complaints are from residential neighborhoods. Most people will
not leave their names or the name of the person they are
complaining about.
The main topic to be discussed is snowmobiling in unauthorized
areas in Eden Prairie, particularly Staring Lake Park.
Mike Hughes, president of the Eden Prairie Snowdrifters, was the
spokesman for the group. He said that only a small percentage of
snowmobilers are causing the problems and his group would like to
see more strict enforcement of the rules. He recommends that a
committee be formed to come up with a workable solution. The
committee could consist of representatives from the snowmobilers
club, public safety and city staff.
Shaw asked if the group would like all of Eden Prairie open for
snowmobiling. Hughes said he feels the area that is offered at
this time is sufficient.
Shaw asked what type of enforcement besides an officer in a squad
car would work better. Hughes said all snowmobiles are to be
registered and this may be a way to trace the owner.

FRDM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services�F^
DATE: March 20, 1986
SUBJECT: Preliminary Application for Fiscal Year 1987 LAWCON/LCMR
Grant Application
In 1985, the City Council authorized application for a LAWCDN/LCMR grant for
funds to assist in the acquisition of approximately 25 acres of park property •
for Riley Lake Park. In 1985, only four applications were funded due to the
reduced amount of grant funds available. The Eden Prairie grant application
was not funded, but was relatively close to being funded.
On March 17, 1986, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
recommended the City Council again authorize the application for LAWCDN/LCMR
funding for the acquisition of approximately 25 additional acres for Riley
Lake Park and include in the application moving the boat launching facilities
to the northern end of the park and expanding the swimming beach at that site.
If the grant is ranked sufficiently high, LAWCON funds would pay for 50% of
( the acquisition and of the improvements included in the project, and LCMR
funds would pay for 25% of the acquisition and development proposed; leaving
the remaining 25% for City funding.
Staff would recommend the use of park dedication fees for the matching funds
for this grant.

Olympic Hills 7th Addition 2 February 21, 1986
an open space easement agreement took place between the City of Eden Prairie and the
Olympic Hills Land Corporation. This open space agreement was established to
preserve the area predominantly in its natural condition. Modification or
termination of this easement or any part thereof can only be accomplished by a
written amendment to this agreement on behalf of the owners and the City of Eden
Prairie.
During the City Council's review of the original rezoning request, a deer corridor
was established through the parcel in an effort to allow migrating deer from
Anderson Lakes Regional Park to reach the Purgatory Creek Flood Plain. The zoning
of these three lots would have no effect on this deer corridor. (Attachment A)
Current access to the 15th green of the Olympic Hills Golf Course lies to the east
of Lot 20, Olympic Hills 7th Addition, and would, in no way, be effected by the
rezoning of these three lots. (Attachment B)
Existing Site Conditions
The site has previously been graded to accommodate house construction. Utility
connections can be made to the existing lines located along Mount Curve Road.
Conclusions
The additional pick-up of one lot raises the density of the Olympic Hills 7th
Addition to 0.76 units per acre from the approved 0.75 units per acre, well within
the Comprehensive Guide Plan's Low Density criteria for this area. The zoning of
these lots will not effect the deer corridor that was established, nor will they
interfere with the access path to the north half of the golf course. However, the
Open Space easement agreement must be amended to delete the area comprised by the
additional lots.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff would recommend approval of the rezoning of Lots 18, 19, and 20, Olympic Hills
7th Addition, from Rural to R1-13.5 subject to the following:
1. Prior to Building permit issuance, proponent shall:
A. Revise the open space easement agreement between the Olympic Hills
Corporation and the City of Eden Prairie to delete that space which
comprises the platted Lots 18, 19, and 20, Block 1, Olympic Hills
7th Addition, to be recorded with Hennepin County.
B. Pay the appropriate Cash Park Fee.

Planner Enger explained to the Commission that this matter was more one of a
housekeeping nature. He stated that the final platting of the property in
this area had caused an inconsistency in the exact property zoned for use as
R1-13.5, and that this area had been intended to be included in the legal
description which was rezoned to R1-13.5 originally.
Chairman Schuck asked for comments and questions from members of the
audience. There were none.

Touch of Class 2 February 21, 1986
1. Traffic and impacts on County Road #1 and County Road #18.
2. Potential or overcommercialization and a change in the Comprehensive Guide
Plan near the intersection of County Road #1 and County Road #18.
3. Land use impacts on adjacent properties.
4. Intensity of land uses.
5. The "big picture" of land uses in Eden Prairie and Bloomington around the
intersection of County Road #1 and County Road #18.
Revised Concept Plan
The revised concept plan changes the westerly four acres of the site from high
density to medium density residential up to ten units per acre or up to 40 units.
The 2.64-acre office portion adjacent to County Road #18 remains the same size with
the same proposed intensity of land uses. The attached letter from Fred Hoisington
indicates that the Halversons would commit to a 50-foot reduction off the westerly
portion of the site to reduce the size of the area for office zoning by 10,000
square feet or a reduction in acres from 1.12 to 0.87 acres if the concept plan were
to be approved as submitted.
Attachment A and B indicate two alternative schemes for road right-of-way depending
on the type of interchange which the County is contemplating at County Road #1 and
County Road #18. Both proposals are for a diamond interchange and could affect the
size of the office areas reducing the land area at some point in the future.
However, the County has no immediate time frame for the construction of the diamond
interchange.
Transition to the west is better than the original proposal since the density has
been reduced from 17 units per acre up to 10 units per acre. Since specific
architectural and site plans are not available at this time for the proposed
multiple family sites, it is difficult to justify the upper end of the range. A
base of 5 units per acre could he approved on-site which would be a better
transition to the 2.5 guided areas to the west. The upper end of the range at 10
units per acre subject to special design criteria which would include architecture,
which is residential in character and helps reduce the overall building mass, a site
plan which retains the existing natural topography and tree coverage on-site, and
heavy landscaping to provide visual buffers to adjoining land uses.
The effect of reducing the office acreage on the Halverson piece from 1.12 to 0.87
acres is a 22% reduction in potential building square footage per Code. Over the
entire 2.64-acre office site, the reduction in land area translates into a potential
building square footage reduction of 9%. It appears that rezoning the smallest area
of land possible to office on the Halverson piece will not change the intensity of
land uses appreciably.
The effect of the reduced office area and reduced density will change the' trip
generation for this site from a range of 831 to 1,109 trips based on the original
concept plan to a range of 560 to 961 based on the revised concept plan. Traffic
reduction is a range of 13% to 33% overall including the multiple and office sites.
The change in office traffic is only 9%. The traffic study has not yet been
67(0�
Touch of Class 3 February 21, 1986
completed by the Bluffs Company, so the impacts which may change the location of the
collector adjoining this site are not known. This project will be a small
contributor to traffic as compared to the Bluffs PUD and commercial area north of
County Road #1.
Big Picture of Land Uses around County Road #1 and County Road #18 Intersection
Attachment C shows existing land uses, proposed land uses, and guided land uses, in
Bloomington and Eden Prairie, around the County Road County Road #1 intersection.
The graphic depicts a strong residential character in both communities with the
nearest planned commercial area being a neighborhood commercial site in Eden Prairie
north of County Road #1. Other commercial sites exist in Bloomington and in Eden
Prairie at the intersection of Anderson Lakes Parkway and County Road #1. There is
also a small neighborhood commercial site in Bloomington at the intersection of Old
Shakopee Road and County Road #1. The graphic depicts that the densities existing
and proposed in both communities are primarily medium density residential along both
sides of County Road #18 for up to 10 units per acre. At the intersection of County
Road #18 and County Road #1 in Bloomington, land area is planned for the density of
0 to 5 units per acre.
Interim Use
I
The previous Staff Report suggested as one alternative the interim use of the
property for office purposes with a long-range use of the property being medium
density residential. Chapter 11 of the City's Code refers to interim uses as
conditional use permits. The purpose of the conditional use permit was for the
Major Center Area PUD within which some of the lands that would eventually be office
or commercial uses were situated on land zoned R1-22 or land zoned Rural and have
dwelling units on them. Because of economic and other constraints, the development
of these sites for the ultimate use would not occur for some time period and some of
the lands in the Major Center Area would be in a state of transition. The
conditional use permit in the Major Center Area was set up to allow owners of lands
with dwellings to temporarily use them for office uses to offset to the impact of
the transition of uses in the Major Center Area. Chapter 11, under Conditional Use
Permits, refers to areas in the community by legal description where conditional use
permits may be granted. Therefore, in order to have a conditional use designation
on the property, an amendment to the zoning ordinance would be necessary to include
this as an area where conditional use permits could be granted. There are ten
criteria which must be evaluated with every request. (See Attached Code)
Conclusions
There are four key issues relative to the request.
1. Are office uses appropriate in this location.
2 Will the concept plan, as proposed, lead to a significant change in land
uses (overcommercialization) of the intersection of County Road #18 and
County Road #1. .
3. What is the highest and best final use of the property.
4. Would rezoning of this parcel to office be considered appropriate if the
current business did not exist or would it be considered spot zoning.
; (oa
Touch of Class 4 February 21, 1986
By looking at the larger picture, it appears that this area has a strong residential
character and that medium density residential land uses on this proposed site would
be in keeping with the medium density residential character around the intersection
of County Road #18 and County Road #1. Reducing the size of the office zoning
request on the Halverson piece will only change the intensity of office uses
possible by 9%. The change in trip generation varies between 13% to 33% overall
depending on how dense the multiple family sites are approved at. Office traffic
will only change by 9%. The overall concept plan is better in terms of the
transition to the west. If the concept plan was modified to include the Touch of
Class as the only office site, with remaining office sites converted to medium
density residential, the Halverson piece would become a spot zone in the middle of a
residential area. If redeveloped, a new office building would be out of character
with the residential uses surrounding the property.
The revised concept plan with 2.64 acres of office can still contribute towards
overcomnercialization of the intersection of County Road #1 and County Road #18.
Further revisions to the concept plan to reduce the office areas plan to include
more medium density residential land uses, would create a spot zoning on the
Halverson site. This may suggest that an interim use of the property for office
with a long-term use of the property for medium density residential would be more
appropriate. This would allow the Halversons to use the structure as a business and
be incorporated into a residential plan at some paint in the future, while
minimizing the potential change in the Guide Plan from residential to commercial.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The following alternatives are presented for Commission consideration:
1. If the Planning Commission feels that the request for Comprehensive Guide
Plan has been substantiated, then approval should be based upon meeting the
minimum requirements for office zoning district and connection to sewer and
water when available. The northerly driveway entrance should he eliminated,
parking areas screened per Ordinance, and meeting all Building and Fire
Codes. This would also include a downsizing of the zoning request from 1.12
acres to 0.87 acres.
2. If the Planning Commission feels that the highest and best use of the
property may he for medium density residential purposes, then approval
should be based on a conditional use designation for the office on the
Halverson property until such time that the structure is torn down or
incorporated into a residential housing plan.
3. If the Planning Commission feels that the Guide Plan Change has not been
adequately substantiated and the impacts on-site, surrounding land uses,
roads, and the Guide Plan balance are significant, the Commission may choose
to recommend denial of the request as submitted.

single family homes on the Halverson property, the Munson property, and the Briggs
property to the west. The land area to the south, owned by Hustad Development
Company, is proposed as part of the Bluff Country PUD for a multiple-family use.
Current Use
The Halversons approached the City in 1980, inquiring about a business use within
the household they intended to purchase. The Halversons met with Jean Johnson,
Zoning Administrator, who explained the home occupation regulations which were part
of Ordinance #135 in 1980. The current zoning regulations in Chapter 11 are not
different from the regulations in Ordinance #135.
Since 1980, the Halversons have used a portion of their home for a business called A
Touch of Class. On Wednesday, February 5, 1986, Staff visited the Halverson
residence to determine if they were operating a business in compliance with the
current regulations of home occupation provisions of Chapter 11. The total building
square footage of the residence is 3,600 square feet, of which the first floor
(2,100 square feet) is being utilized as the residential portion of the house. The
lower level (1,500 square feet) is being utilized as the business. The Halversons
indicated to Staff that they have two, full-time employees working on the property,
as well as, from time to time, a couple of designers. They also indicated that a
portion of the garage is being utilized for storage for their personal use and as
part of the business.
Staff indicated to the Halversons that they were operating a home occupation in
violation of the regulations of the home occupation provisions of Section 11.65 of
the Zoning Ordinance. Staff indicated that the Ordinance only allows up to one
additional non-resident of the dwelling to be an employee, that no storage of
equipment or supplies can be in an accessory structure, and the home occupation
conducted in the dwelling should be clearly incidental to the main use of the
structure as a dwelling.
Comprehensive Guide Plan
The proponents have submitted a request for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change which
includes Office and High Density Residential land uses. The proponent's narrative
states the only reason for the Guide Plan Change is due to the negative impacts of
increased traffic from existing and upgraded County Road #18, which makes this site
less desirable for residential uses and more desirable for office uses. Traffic
impacts alone cannot be considered an adequate justification for a Guide Plan
Change, since changes in the Guide Plan are also related to the proposed land uses,
impacts on surrounding land uses, and impact on the Comprehensive Guide Plan
balance. Traffic impacts do not appear to be a reasonable justification for a
change in land use, since there are large areas of residential in Eden Prairie along
County Road #18 between County Road #1 and Anderson Lakes Parkway. The Bluffs
Country PhD to the south of this site, is proposing a Medium and Low Density
Residential land use along County Road #18. Land area in Bloomington on the east
side of County Road #18 is developed or planned for residential uses.
The request for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change can impact surrounding land uses
through the domino effect. The proposal for Office and High Density Residential
land uses can precipitate requests from adjacent land owners for High Density
Residential or Office uses. The concept plan, as proposed, does not provide for
transition to adjacent land uses to the west, which are currently guided Low Density
,r
A Touch of Class 3 February 7, 1986
Residential. Although the total number of housing units proposed is 67, the density
as 17 units per acre is out of character with the surrounding land uses. A more
appropriate density, which can provide a better transition, would be to consider a
Medium Density Residential use on-site between five to ten units per acre.
The intensity of office uses can also impact adjacent land uses. Currently, the
1.1-acre Halverson piece is proposed for a 3,600 square foot office at a 0.7 Floor
Area Ratio (FAR). While this is a low intensity office use, it should be pointed
out that if this site is rezoned to office, the Ordinance would allow a building
between 14,636 square feet to 24,399 square feet, at 0.3 and 0.5 FAR respectively.
The other proposed office sites depict a total office square footage between 20,000
to 25,000 square feet at 0.30 and 0.38 FAR respectively. At 0.5 FAR, the Ordinance
would permit up to a 33,105 square feet of building on both sites. Though the
proposed intensity of land uses is low, if rezoned, all sites could develop at a
higher intensity. The change in the Guide Plan should not only be viewed in terms
of the current use, but also viewed independent of the proposed office uses and be
based on what intensity the Ordinance would allow. Higher intensity office uses on
this site can contribute to other office uses on the balance of the Halverson and
Munson piece, as well as residential properties to the west and north. The
neighborhood commercial site, north of County Road #1, is being considered by a
developer for up to a 90,000 square foot commercial center, which is 40,000 square
feet more than the Guide Plan suggests as a maximum size for a neighborhood
commercial area. Approval of higher intensity and different land uses in this area
can lead to an overcommerciaiization of the intersection of County Road #1 and
County Road #18, which is not currently contemplated on the Comprehensive Guide
Plan.
The effect of the proposed Guide Plan Changes on the Comprehensive Guide Plan may
not affect the Guide Plan balance appreciably since the intensity of office
development and total number of housing units is low. As mentioned above, if land
uses are ultimately developed at their highest intensity, it can lead to a major
change in the Guide Plan from primarily a Residential to a Commercial land use. It
should also be pointed out that minor changes in the Guide Plan, if considered
throughout the City on a piecemeal basis, could have a cumulative effect to a
substantial change in the balance within the community.
Traffic Impacts
Though total daily traffic expected to be generated from this site is 900 trips,
traffic impacts on adjacent roadways cannot be considered in isolation, but must
also consider traffic which is expected to be generated from adjoining land uses.
Traffic expected to he generated from the Bluffs area to the south, the low density
area to the west and a n-acre site to the north could contribute an additional
2,885 trips. A traffic study is currently underway by Hustad Development to analyze
the impact of traffic from the Bluffs Country PUO and surrounding land uses on
affected roadways and intersections. This study would provide specific
recommendations, if any, for upgrading of County Road #1, the intersection of County
Road #18 and County Road #1, and determine if the collector road is in the best
location in terms of providing for appropriate stacking area and for appropriate
turning movements.
Site Plan
The site plan involves a remodeling of an existing household to accommodate a total
( t
A Touch of Class 4 February 7, 1986
of 3,600 square feet of building at a 0.07 FAR. Parking requirements for an office
use would be 18. A total of 13 parking spaces are provided on-site. There is room
on-site to provide additional parking.
The request for rezoning to office on the 1.12-acre Halverson piece includes
variances to allow a front yard setback of 15 feet to parking and 25 feet to a
garage along County Road #18, the use of wood as the predominant exterior building •
material, not having to provide curb, gutter, and paving, and being able to utilize
the existing septic tank system instead of hooking up to City sewer and water. The
request for front yard setback variance from 35 to 15 feet does not have merit since
there is land area on-site where parking can be provided meeting the minimum
setbacks. The location of the garage currently does not meet the minimum front yard
setback for Rural zoning of 50 feet. Even with the changed office zoning, a ten-
foot variance would be required since the structure is located within 25 feet of
County Road #18 right-of-way. Attachment A indicates possible areas where parking
and the garage could be located.
The request for variance to be exempt from having to provide curb, gutter, and
paving, would have merit if the primary use of the property was for continuation of
a residential use. However, with upgrading of the property to office, the increase
in traffic_, and the addition of six permanent employees, the use of curb, gutter,
and paving seems reasonable.
The request to utilize the existing septic tank system may have merit considering
the timing of scheduled improvements to the Bluffs Country PUD to the south.
Considering that the gallons of waste water discharge per day decreases because of
the change in residential to commercial uses, the use of the septic tank may have
merit on a temporary basis provided the proponents commit at this time to connecting
the sewer and water when it is available.
For office zoning, the Ordinance would require the primary exterior building
materials would be face brick, glass, stone, or combinations thereof. Wood is
allowed per Ordinance as an accent material not to exceed 25% of the face of the
building. Since the use of the building is being upgraded from a residential to
commercial status, it should be required to meet the exterior building material
requirements of tie Code.
The internal remodeling of the structure may require building permits from the
Building Department. If the project is considered for approval, it should be
contingent upon requiring that the remodeling meet all applicable current Building
and Fire Codes.
Acres;
Primary access to this site, until County Road #18 is upgraded and a service road is
provided, will he directly to County Road #18. The proponents intend to utilize the
two current access points to the property. The attached letter from Hennepin County
indicates that due to sight vision distance problems, and close proximity of the two
driveways that the northerly right-in/right-out entrance should be eliminated and
the south entrance to located as close as possible to the south property line ' to
provide for the best available sight vision distance.
The letter from Hennepin County Highway Department also indicates there may be a
need for additional right-of-way along County Road #18 to accommodate the frontage
A Touch of Class 5 February 7, 1986
road. However, since the plans for the upgrading of County Road #18 are not
definite at this time, the County does not have a specific requirement for right-of-
way. It should be required as part of any future subdivision of property that
additional right-of-way, as determined by the Hennepin County Highway Department, be
dedicated.
Landscaping
The proponents must submit a landscape plan for review, which meets the minimum
requirements for caliper inches and which screens all parking areas from County Road
#18.
Conclusions
The decision to change the Comprehensive Guide Plan should be based on whether or
not the concept, as proposed, adequately substantiates a Comprehensive Guide Plan
Change. The proponent's narrative states the only reason for the Guide Plan Change
is due to the negative impacts of increased traffic from existing and upgraded
County Road #18 which makes this site undesirable for residential uses and more
suitable for office uses. The justification for a Guide Plan Change cannot be based
on traffic alone, since there are other related issues including the proposed land
use, impacts on surrounding land uses, and impacts on the Comprehensive Guide Plan
balance. Traffic impacts are not a justification since there are large residential
areas both existing and proposed in Eden Prairie along County Road #18. In
addition, land area on the other side of County Road #18 is developed or planned for
residential as well.
Though the proposed intensity of land use is low, especially on the Halverson piece,
(3,600 square feet - 0.07 FAR) if rezoned, the Ordinance would allow for a higher
intensity development. The Halverson piece could accommodate between a 14,636 -
24,393 square feet of office. A change in the Comprehensive Guide Plan should be
viewed in terms of not only the proposed use, but also viewed independent of the
proposed office uses on the Halverson and Munson pieces and be based on what
intensity development the Ordinances would allow if rezoned. Higher intensity land
uses can, through a domino effect, lead to other office uses on the balance of the
Halverson and Munson pieces and properties to the west and north, which are
currently guided Low Density Residential. This, coupled with a 90,000 square foot
shopping center proposal, envisioned for the neighborhood commercial area north of
County Road #1 could lead to an overconmercialization of the County Road County Road
#1 intersection currently not envisioned in the Comprehensive Guide Plan. Rezoning
of the 1.12-acre Halverson piece, will permit a higher intensity land use if the
property was sold. It may be appropriate to downsize the rezoning request to the
smallest land area possible to retain the low intensity site usage and minimize
impacts on surrounding land uses.
The concept plan, as proposed, does not provide an appropriate transition to
surrounding land uses. High density residential is too great a transition to
existing land area to the west, currently guided Low Density. A low to medium
density residential may be a better transition. This approach is similar to the
Staff recommendation in the Bluff Country PUO report, to reduce density in the
multiple-family outlot to be comparable to densities proposed and the single-family
land area across the pond.
The fact that the home had been used as a business for five years and is currently
�O�G
A Touch of Class 6 February 7, 1986
an illegal use is not a justification for a Comprehensive Guide Plan and Zoning
District Change because the property is not operating in compliance with the current
Ordinances. The property could continue as a legal home occupation by not having
more than one non-resident as an employee, keeping all storage within the structure,
and keeping the business clearly incidental to the principle use of the property.
The proponents were informed in 1980 of the home occupation regulations prior to the
purchase of the home.
If the land use, as proposed, is acceptable, the proponent is still asking for
variances for which only the use of the septic tank has merit. It is reasonable to
require compliance with the Code since the proponents are asking for the benefits of
office zoning with only minimal investment and remodeling and site development.
An interim use designation can be another way to allow the use as proposed on the
Halverson piece, limit site usage, and reduce impacts on surrounding land uses. If
a determination is made, that a low to medium density residential land use is the
highest and best use for the site, the house could be used on an interim basis for
office until it is either torn down or incorporated into a residential site plan.
If the interim use concept has merit, the variances may be acceptable if the life
expectancy of the Touch of Class business is for a short time period. If, on the
other hand, the business is envisioned to continue for a long period of time, then
compliance with the minimum Ordinance requirement should occur.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The following alternatives are presented for Commission consideration:
i. If the Commission feels that the request for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change
has been substantiated, then approval should be based upon meeting the
minimum requirements for Office Zoning District, connection to sewer and
water when available, elimination of the northerly driveway entrance,
screening of parking areas per Ordinance, and meeting all Building and Fire
Codes.
2. If the Commission feels that the Comprehensive Guide Plan Change, as
proposed, is not appropriate, but could have merit with changes, which would
include lower density residential land uses, a better transition to land
uses to the west, and a downsizing of the zoning request to the smallest
possible land area, then the plans could be returned to the proponent for
revisions based on recommendations in the Staff Report.
3. If the Commission feels that the highest and best use of the property may be
for low or medium density residential purposes, the Halverson property could
be considered as an interim use for office uses until such time that the
structure is torn down or incorporated into a residential housing plan.
4. If the Commission feels that the Comprehensive Guide Plan Change has not
been adequately substantiated and the impacts on-site, surrounding land
uses, roads, and the Guide Plan balance are significant, the Commission may
choose to recommend denial of the request.

Review and Recommendations
We reviewed the above rezoning request and make the following comments:
- Hennepin County is preparing a plan for future right of way requirements
for the CSAH 18/CSAH 1 - 102nd St. intersection. The final right of way
reeds will not be known until this plan is completed. Since this plan
preparation is ongoing, contact Bruce Polaczyk, Hennepin County Preliminary
Design Engineer for additional information.
- To help limit driveway access onto heavily traveled CSAH 18, Hennepin
County recommends the proposed right-in-only access be removed. We feel
this access would be very difficult to regulate as a right-in only access
and the sight distance to the south from this access is below the minimum
for the posted speed limit.
- The southerly 2-way access must be constructed at the southerly property
line as shown to make the sight distance to the south as good as possible.
- Any revision in an existing access or a change in land use requires an
approved Hennepin County entrance permit before beginning any construction.
See our Maintenance Division for entrance permit forms.
- All proposed construction within County right of way requires an approved
utility permit prior to beginning construction. This includes, but is not
limited to, drainage and utility construction, trail development,. and
landscaping. See our Maintenance Division for utility permit forms. '
- The developer must restore all areas disturbed during construction within
County right of way. HENNEPIN COUNTY

TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Michael D. Franzen, Senior Planner
THROUGH: Chris Enger, Director of Planning
DATE: February 7, 1986
PROJECT: A Touch of Class
LOCATION: Southwest quadrant of County Roads #1 and #18
APPLICANTS: Kate and Craig Halverson, and Chester A. Munson
FEE OWNER: Malcolm and Margaret McFarland, and Chester A. Munson
REQUEST: 1. A Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Low Density
Residential to Office on 2.64 acres, and from Low Density
Residential to High Density Residential on 3.91 acres.
2. Zoning District Change from Rural to Office on 1.12 acres.
Background
The Comprehensive Guide Plan des-
ignates the area proposed for a
Guide Plan Change consisting of 7.5
gross acres as Low Density Res-
idential. The areas proposed for
Guide Plan Change would include 2.64
acres from Low Density Residential
to Office, and 3.91 acres from Low
Density Residential to High Density
Residential. Approximately 0.85
acres would be utilized for future
road right-of-way. The Guide Plan
depicts surrounding land uses as Low
Density Residential to the northwest
and south of the site. Across
County Road #1 to the north, the
Guide Plan depicts Low Density
Residential, Medium Density Res-
idential
and Neighborhood Com-
mercial.
The zoning of the area proposed for
a Guide Plan Change is currently
Rural. Sites surrounding this area
are also zoned Rural. There are
J
A Touch of Class 2 February 7, 1986
existing single family homes on the Halverson property, the Munson property, and the
Briggs property to the west. The land area to the south, owned by Hustad
Development Company, is proposed as part of the Bluff Country PUD for a multiple-
family use.
The Halverson household is currently being utilized for residential purposes as the
principle use. Since 198D, the Halversons have operated a home occupation as an
accessory use. On Wednesday, February 5, 1986, City Staff conducted an on-site
investigation to determine if the Halversons were operating the business in
compliance with the current home occupation regulations of Chapter 11.
On Wednesday, February 5, 1986, Staff made a site investigation of the Halverson
residence at 10:30 a.m. to determine if the Halversons were operating a business out
of their home in compliance with the current regulations of the home occupation
provisions of Chapter 11. The total building square footage of the Halverson
residence is 3,600 square feet. The first floor occupies 2,190 square feet and is
being utilized as the residential portion of the house. The lower level of the
house (1,500 square feet) is being utilized as the business. The lower level
contains design areas, office areas, and display areas. The business occupies 42%
of the structure. The Halversons indicated to Staff that they currently have two,
fulltime employees working on the property as well as, from time to time, a couple
of designers out on the premises. They also indicated that a portion of the garage
(approximately 100 square feet) is being utilized for storage for their personal use
and as part of the business.
Staff indicated to the Halversons that they were operating a home occupation in
violation of the regulations of the home occupations provisions of Section 11.65 of
the Zoning Ordinance. Staff indicated that the ordinance only allows up to one
additional non-resident of the building to be an employee, the no storage of
equipment or supplies can be an accessory structure outside of the dwelling, and
that the home occupation conducted in the dwelling should be clearly secondary to
the use of the structure as a dwelling.
The Halversons approached the City in 1980, inquiring about a business use within
the household they intended to purchase from the McFarland's. The Halversons met
with Jean Johnson, Zoning Administrator, who explained the home occupation
regulations which was part of Ordinance #135 in 1980. A copy of the current and
past ordinances attached, show that the regulations have not changed.
Provisions of Chapter 11, relative to home occupations, would not permit the
principle use of the building to be used for other than single-family residential
purposes. Therefore, in order to convert the household into the Touch of Class
Interior's studio, would require a Zoning District Change from Rural to Office in
order to change the primary use of the structure.
Comprehensive Guide Plan Change
The proponents have submitted a request for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change to
illustrate how the request for Office zoning could fit in with other proposed land
uses which the proponents feel are appropriate in this location. The proponents
believe that the change in status of County Road #18 from a county road to an
expressway at some point in the near future (1990 to 1995), and the increase in
traffic which occurs primarily during the horse racing season on this roadway to
Canterbury Downs, creates a negative impaction adjoining properties. The proponents
(jI1
A Touch of Class 3 February 7, 1986
feel that because of the traffic, a Low Density Residential land use is not the most
appropriate land use for the property, hence, the request for Comprehensive Guide
Plan Change to Office and High Density Residential.
When determining the appropriateness of a Comprehensive Guide Plan Change, it must
be determined if there are other areas in town which are currently guided for the
proposed uses, the impact of the Guide Plan Change on surrounding property, and the
effect of the Guide Plan Change on the Guide Plan balance within the community.
The Comprehensive Guide Plan currently depicts a Neighborhood Commercial site of
approximately twelve acres in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of County
Road #1 and County Road #18, where Office and Commercial uses can occur.
Neighborhood Commercial areas are planned primarily to provide a range of goods and
services to meet the daily needs of the surrounding immediate neighborhoods. Staff
has had recent conversations with the developer for up to a 90,000 square foot
commercial shopping center on this site. The current timing for the construction of
this center is anticipated to be within the next year. The Guide Plan also depicts
other areas in the community, most noticeably the Major Center Area, where there
currently is a large amount of office space available for lease, and in the near
future, additional strip commercial shopping centers where this type of land use
could occur.
The request for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change can impact surrounding land uses
through the domino effect. The proposal for office and high density residential
uses can precipitate requests from adjacent land owners for medium to high density
residential or office uses. The proposed Guide Plan changes do not take into
consideration transition on this site to adjacent land uses which are currently
guided for low density residential to the west. Although the total number of
housing units contemplated is 67 between the two sites, the density at 17 units per
acre is out of character with the surrounding land area, as was the case with the
Bluffs development to the south, it was recommended by Staff that the density at 20
units per acre on the net would not be appropriate since the architectural type
would likely be an apartment building. The use of large structures seem to be too
massive in comparison to the low density residential areas proposed adjacent to the
site. The densities on the Halverson and Munson piece is 17 units per acre and will
likely result in apartment-like structures on the property. A more appropriate
density, which would provide for a better transition to the low density areas to the
west of the site, would be to consider a low density to medium density residential
densities on the site between five to ten units per acre.
The effect of the proposed Guide Plan Change and the Comprehensive Guide Plan
balance, will not be noticeable appreciably since the total acreage and number of
units involved is minimal. It should be pointed out though that minor changes in
the Comprehensive Guide Plan Change, if considered throughout the City on a
piecemeal basis, can have a cumulative effect contributing to a substantial change
in the Comprehensive Guide Plan.
Another related issue is whether or not the Comprehensive Guide Plan designated for
low density residential is appropriate on this site and has the request for Guide
Plan Change been substantiated. The proponents contend that the primary reason for
the Guide Plan Change is the negative impacts of increased traffic and the upgrading
of County Road #18 to an expressway which makes low density residential less
appropriate. This raises a question of whether or not there are other land uses
besides office which would also be acceptable in this location. Medium density
05
A Touch of Class 4 February 7, 1986
residential for the land area adjacent to proposed County Road #18 frontage road
would also be acceptable if there is an adequate buffer zone provided between the
roadway and the nearest units.
The intensity of office uses proposed between 22,000 to 27,000 total square feet is
based on 2.64 net acres of land area. This corresponds to a Floor Area Ratio of
0.19 to 0.23. For one-story office buildings, the Ordinance would permit up to a
0.3 Floor Area Ratio or a total of 34,499 square feet. At a 0.5 Floor Area Ratio,
it would be 57,499 square feet. The difference between the proposed land use square
footage and the ultimate land use square footage which could be allowed per
Ordinance for office zoning can cause an increase in the amount of traffic generated
along the proposed frontage road. •
Total traffic expected to be generated from this site is 900 total trips with 500
trips for 25,000 square feet of office based on 12.3 trips per 1,000 and 400 trips
per multiple family based on six trips per multiple family unit. This would
translate into a peak hour traffic of approximately 90 cars, which would utilize the
intersection between the service road and County #1. The total traffic impacts on
the service road, County Road #1, and the County Road #18 intersection, cannot be
considered in isolation, but must also consider traffic which is expected to be
generated from adjacent land uses. From the traffic information provided for the
Bluff Country POD, it is anticipated that 1,100 cars per day would utilize this
collector service road to County Road #1. In addition, the Briggs property totalling
approximately 15 acres to the west, would generate, based upon 21 units per acre, an
additional 375 trips. The vacant parcel between the proposed service road and
County Road #1, owned by the Bluffs Company, would also contribute to traffic.
Because of the impacts of the adjacent roadways, a commercial office use is likely
for this parcel. The total trip generation from a two-acre commercial office site
would be 650 daily trips. Grand total traffic that would utilize the collector road
and service road northbound to County Road #1 would be 2,025 trips or 200 trips in
the peak hour. A traffic study is currently underway by the Bluffs Country to
analyze the impact of traffic from the Bluffs Country which will analyze the impact
of increased traffic on the County Road County Road #18 intersection and take into
consideration potential traffic to be generated based upon proposed and guided land
uses in the area. The study would provide specific recommendations if any for
upgrading of County Road #1 and whether or not the proposed service road entrance
between County Road #18 and County Road #1 is located in the best location in terms
of providing for appropriate stacking area and for appropriate turning movements.
Site Plan
Approximately 1.12 acres of the total site area under consideration for a Guide Plan
Change is also being requested for a Zoning District Change from Rural to Office.
The request for rezoning also includes requests for variances to allow a front yard
setback variance to parking and structure along County Road #18, the use of wood as
a predominate building material on the building not having to provide curb, gutter,
and paving, and being able to utilize the existing septic tank field, instead of
hooking up to City sewer and water.
The site plan involves the remodeling of an existing household to accommodatd a
total of 3,600 square feet of building. Parking requirements for an office use of
this size would be 18. A total of 13 parking spaces is provided on-site. The Floor
Area Ratio is 0.07.
A Touch of Class 5 February 7, 1986
The request for front yard setback variance of 35 to 15 feet does not have merit
since there is adequate land area on site within which parking can be provided
meeting the setback requirements. Attachment A indicates where additional parking
could be provided. The location of the garage currently does not meet the minimum
front yard setback for rural zoning of 50 feet. Even with the change to commercial
zoning, which requires a 35-foot front yard setback, a ten-foot variance would be
required since the structure is located within 25 feet of the front right-of-way on
County Road #1. There is land area on-site where the garage could be relocated in
compliance with the setbacks for office zoning.
The request for variance to be exempt from having to provide curb, gutter, and
paving, would have merit if the primary use of the property was for a continuation
of a household as a residential use. However, with the upgrading of the property to
an office zone, and the increase in traffic and the addition of six permanent
employees, the use of curb, gutter, and paving seems reasonable. The requirement
for paved surfaces is for dust control and the requirement for curb and gutter is to
control storm water run-off.
The request for being able to utilize the existing septic tank system may have merit
considering the timing of scheduled improvements into the Bluffs Country PUD to the
south. Considering that the gallons of waste water discharge per day decreases
because of the change in residential to commercial uses, the use of the septic tank
may have merit on a temporary basis provided the proponents commit, at this time, to
connecting to City sewer and water when it is available. For office zoning, the
Ordinance would require that the primary exterior building materials be facebrick,
glass, stone, or combinations thereof. What is allowed per Ordinance as an accent
material not to exceed 25% of the face of the building. Since the use of the
building is being upgraded from a residential to commercial status, it should be
required that the exterior building materials meet the Ordinance requirements.
The internal remodeling of the structure and change in status from residential to
commercial uses will require building permits from the Building Department. If the
project ;s considered for approval, it should be required that the remodeling meet
all applicable current commercial codes and ordinances.
If it is determined that an office use for this site is appropriate, it would be
reasonable to expect that since the proponents are asking for the benefits of
commercial zoning, they should be required to meet the minimum requirements of the
zoning ordinance.
Access and Traffic
Primary access to this site, until County Road #18 is upgraded to an expressway, and
a frontage road constructed in front of the Halverson property, the access will be
directly onto County Road #18. The proponents intend to utilize the two current
access points to the property. The attached letter from the Hennepin County Highway
Department indicates because of sight vision distance problems and proximity of the
two driveways, that the northerly right-in/right-out entrance should be eliminated
and the south entrance be located as close as possible to the south property line to
provide for the best available sight vision distance. Staff concurs with 'the
recommendations of the County for the elimination of the northerly driveway access.
As mentioned under the Comprehensive Guide Plan section, there will be an increase
in traffic generated from this area at the time of full development considering the
ultimate use of this site and surrounding sites. Though the impacts of the increase
to_7 7
A Touch of Class 6 1 February 7, 1986
in traffic are not known at this time, it should be pointed out that a study is
underway to determine if the level of traffic anticipated will require improvements
to County Road #1 and County Road #18 intersection and also determined if the
collector road serving this site adjoining properties in the Bluff Country PUD is in
the most appropriate location. Considering that the total trips anticipated from
the project according to the proponent are 75 trips per day, which is a significant
increase over the ten trips per day currently projected for a single-family use,
elimination of the northerly driveway entrance makes sense. The total number of
daily trips is small and the peak hour trips would translate into about 7.5 trips
per hour, which is not significant, however, the access points onto County Road #18
are.
The letter from the Hennepin County Highway Department indicates that there may be a
need for additional right-of-way along County Road #18 to accommodate the frontage
road. However, since the plans for the upgrading of County Road #18 are not
definite at this time, the County does not have a specific requirement for
additional right-of-way. It should be required as part of the future subdivision of
the property that the proponents dedicate additional right-of-way as determined by
the Hennepin County Engineering Department.
Utilities
Sewer and water service are not immediately available to this site; however, they
will be available within the next year with the extension of proposed improvements
from the lift station along County Road #18, to the Bluffs Country PUD to the south.
This proposed development phasing schedule which proposes the renovation of the
household during 1986 with the multiple family and offices for Sites 2, 3, and 4,
proposed for years 199D, 1992, and 1995. Use of the septic tank on this site
instead of connecting immediately to City sewer and water may have merit considering
that the gallons of waste water discharge per day are less for the office than for a
single family home. However, it should be required that when the adjacent sites
develop, that the proponents would connect to City sewer and water. The Staff
report raises the following issues:
1. is a low density residential land use appropriate for this site and
surrounding land uses.
2. Has a Comprehensive Guide Plan Change been adequately substantiated by the
proponent.
3. Is the concept plan acceptable as proposed.
4. Should the zoning of the property to office be approved considering the
number of variances requested.
Considering the impacts of increased traffic and noise from improvements from County
Road #1R and County Road #1 in the future, low density residential may not be the
appropriate land use. However, there may be other land uses other than high density •
residential and office, which may also be acceptable on this property. Medium
density residential could work on this site since it could be a transition' to
existing guided low density residential areas to the west of the site. The use of
1 multiple family on this site would also allow the protection to allow for the saving
of the land forms and significant tree groupings on the Halverson piece and the
Munson piece. Multiple family will also require a buffer zone to be constructed
i,z C`
A Touch of Class 7 February 7, 1986
adjacent to County Road #18. Medium density residential land uses to the north of
County Road #1 on County Road #18, has substantial berming and plantings to serve as
a mitigating measure to the traffic and noise along County Road #18.
Office uses can be acceptable land uses along County Road #18 if the scale of
development is limited and the range and services proposed would be utilized
primarily by people within the surrounding neighborhood. Office uses proposed
should also be minimal traffic generators so that congestion and turning movement
conflicts do not occur on the collector road and County Road County Road #I8
intersection. On the other hand, the Guide Plan depicts a neighborhood commercial
zone in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of County Road #I8 and County
Road #1 which could provide an area within which these office uses proposed could
occur.
The concept plan as proposed can have merit if a better transition to adjoining land
uses would occur. The medium density residential designation on the western portion
of the Halverson and Munson piece is too great of a transition in densities to the
low density residential designation on the Briggs piece to the west. In addition,
though medium density residential of up to ten units per acre was requested on the
adjacent Bluffs Country PUD to the south, Staff recommendations on that parcel did
not feel that the request for the Guide Plan Change had been substantiated and that
a better density would 211 units per acre on the gross, and 5 units per acre on the
net. The request to approve the Comprehensive Guide Plan Change on the property was
postponed until the proponent could provide specific site planning details which
would justify the proposed densities.
On the Munson and Halverson piece, a low to medium density land use of between 2.5
to 5 units per acre could be acceptable if this site is viewed as a transition
between the proposed office uses to the east and the currently guided Low Density
Residential to the west. A multiple or cluster approach could save more trees on-
site and help preserve more of the existing land forms in their natural condition
due to overall less grading.
If a Comprehensive Guide Plan can be substantiated, then the rezoning request should
be approved with the requirement that all current regulations of the Office zoning
district be met. Though variances are reviewed by the Board of Appeals, since the
property is proposed for upgrading from a residential to a commercial use, the
variances are related to the zoning action and it would be appropriate for the
Commission for the benefit of the Board of Appeals to indicate the reaction to the
variances. If the Commission feels that the proposed use of the property is not the
end use, then the variances may have merit.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The following alternatives are presented for Commission consideration:
1. If the request for Comprehensivie Guide Plan Change has been substantiated
then approval should be based on meeting the minimum requirements for the
Office zoning district, connection to sewer and water when available,
elimination of the northerly driveway entrance, and screening of the parking
areas per ordinance.
2. If the Commission feels that the Guide Plan Change as proposed is not
appropriate but could have merit with changes to minimize traffic impacts,
( f
A Touch of Class 8 February 7, 1986
and provide a better land use transition to the west then the plans could be
returned to the proponent for revisions based on recommendations in the
Staff Report.
3. If the Commission feels that the Comprehensive Guide Plan Change has not
been substantiated, then the impacts on-site, surrounding land uses,
traffic, and impact on the Guide Plan balance are significant, the
Commission may choose to recommend denial of the request.

C. TOUCH OF CLASS INTERIORS, by Kate and Craig Halverson. Request for
Guide Plan Amendment, and Zoning District Change from Rural to
Dffice for an interior design studio. Location: Southwest quadrant
of County Roads #1 and #18. A continued public hearing.
Mr. Fred Hoisington, representing proponents, stated that he did not feel
that the density proposed for the overall area, including the properties
adjacent to the Halverson house, was too high, but that proponents were
willing to work those issues out at another time. He stated that the matter
of greatest concern was the use of the home for the interior design studio.
Mr. Hoisington stated that he felt this location was legitimate for the use
of office in that it was similar to other intersections of this size in Eden
Prairie, which supported the same uses. He stated that there would not be a
negative impact upon traffic, utility systems, the environment, or the
existing neighborhood. Mr. Hoisington stated that the use would provide for
transition between the County Road #18 highway and the residential uses
planned to the west.
Mr. Hoisington discussed the impact of parking requirements on the property,
stating that he concurred with Staff that it would be difficult to determine
whether all the parking should be required at this time due to the potential
for right-of-way taking by the County for upgrading of the road. Mr.
Hoisington added that proponents were also requesting that the Staff
recommendation regarding relocation of the garage be eliminated since it was
a 30-year-old structure. Proponents were also requesting that the structure
be allowed to maintain its wood exterior, instead of upgrading to the
materials required by the Office District in City Code.
Planner Franzen pointed out that there would be no commercial uses on the
east side of County Road #18 in the City of Bloomington. He expressed
Staff's concern that this may become a community commercial area that was
not planned for the community, pointing out that there were already areas
designated for such uses in the southeast portion of Eden Prairie.
Planner Enger stated that, currently, the Touch of Class business was
considered an illegal land use based on the facts that storage was taking
place in the garage, outside of the main structure, and that there were more
employees that allowed from outside of the immediate family. Planner Enger
expressed concern that proponents did not want to comply with the minimum
requirements of the Office Zoning District, even though they were requesting
to operate as an office use. He explained the changes to the City Code that
would be necessary in order to allow the use under the Conditional Use
Permit (Interim Use) section of the City Code.
Johannes stated that he felt uncomfortable reviewing the land uses for this
6"/f
Planning Commission Minutes 9 February 24, 1986
property without knowing the impact of County Road #18 upgrading on the
property. He added that he would prefer an Interim Use on this property,
given the uncertainty about County Road #18.
Hallett stated that he did not feel the City should be left in a position of
vulnerability wherein they would be required to have office use at this
location in the future, especially given the uncertainty about County Road
#18. He added that he did not feel the site would be single family, either,
and that consideration for multiple family residential development may be
appropriate. Hallett also expressed concern regarding the closure of the
north driveway entrance and opening of the south driveway entrance.
Dodge stated that she was uncomfortable about being asked to guess what the
appropriate land use would be for this site without knowing the impact of
County Road #18 on the property. She stated that, based on this, an Interim
Use may be most appropriate.
Planner Enger reviewed the changes necessary to the City Code in order to
accommodate this proposal within the provisions of an Interim Use. He noted
that this would constitute major change to the Code.
Planner Enger stated that there would be very little change necessary to
continue the use as a legal home occupation. He stated that the location of
storage in the garage would need to change and that the number of employees
outside of the family would need to change. Planner Enger suggested that
another alternative would be to have the proponents apply to the Board of
Appeals and Adjustments for variance to these two requirements of the home
occupation portion of the Code in order to continue their operation as is.
Dodge stated that, based on the information regarding the Code changes
necessary to accommodate the use under the Interim Use section of the Code
that it may be most appropriate to have the use continue legally as a home
occupation, or to suggest that another location would be more appropriate.
Bye stated that she did not feel it would be appropriate to approve an
office land use for the site without knowing the impact on the surrounding
properties from the upgrading of County Road #18. Bye expressed concern
that it appeared to be a spot zoning situation.
Mrs. Evie Munson, 10240 County Road #18, pointed out that other developers
in the area were also proposing office uses within this vicinity along the
future highway frontage.
Johannes stated that he was uncomfortable with the idea of an Interim Use on
this site. He stated that this could be seen as opening up opportunities
for anyone who wished to operate an office from their home, allowing for
spot zoning throughout the City within the residential neighborhoods.
Bye stated that she was uncomfortable with the a situation that would
{ require changing the rules for one particular parcel, without determining
the potential impact upon the entire community.
Mr. Hoisington suggested that an Interim Use be used in order to provide for
the tightest restrictions on the property, not allowing for any other use of
Planning Commission Minutes
10 February 24, 1986
the property without City review and approval.
Dodge stated that she felt the City should be very concerned about the
potential for setting a precedent in this situation.
Hallett stated that he, too, was concerned about
ging the
rules relocatefr one
the
particular situation. He stated that it may be
use, as well.
MOTION 1:
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Johannes, to close the public
hearing.
Motion carried--6-0-0
MDTION 2:
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Hallett, to recommend to the City
Council approval of the request of Kate and Craig Halverson, owners of the
Touch of Class interior design business, for an Interim Use Permit for Touch
of Class as an Office use of this site, with an ultimate land use of Medium
Density Residential. Further, that the Commission recommends that adequate
parking, or proof of parking, be provided on the property for the use by
Touch of Class, and that the north driveway entrance be a right-turn only
onto County Road #18.
Motion carried--4-2-0 (Dodge and Johannes against)
Johannes expressed concern about the changes necessary to the City Code to
accommodate the use as an Interim Use, and the impact of those changes on
the community as a whole.
Dodge stated that she felt a decision regarding land use on this property
was premature at this time, without information regarding the impact of
upgraded County Road #18 on the property.
MOTION 3:
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Bye, to recommend to the City
Council denial of the request of Kate and Craig Halverson, owners of Touch
of Class, for Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from Low Density
Residential to Office. This recommendation is forwarded to the Council for
purposes of allowing the proponents Council input on the issue, and is
transmitted by the Planning Commission purposely without exercising their
right to recommendation on the matter.

Comprehen-sive Guide Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential to

to High Density Residential on approximately 3.9 acres, Zoning
District Change from Rural to Office on 1.1 acres with variances to
be reviewed by the Board of Adjustments and Appeals for an existing
house to be used'as a business. Location: South of Pioneer Trail,
west of County Road #18. A public hearing.
Ms. Kate Halverson, proponent, reviewed the history of her business in this
location, and explained how the property was currently being used. Mr. Fred
Hoisington, representing proponents, explained the requested Comprehensive
Guide Plan Change and Zoning District Change, as well as explaining how the
proposed use would fit into the neighborhood in the future.
Planner Franzen reviewed the findings and recommendations of the Staff
Report of February 7, 1986. He noted that Staff was concerned about the
proposed higher intensity uses and the impacts of these uses on surrounding
land in the future. He noted that the densities of residential uses
proposed were out of character with those proposed across County Road #1.
Planner Franzen noted that Staff was also concerned about the potential for
overcommercialization of this intersection in the future, if the proposed
land use changes were allowed. Planner Franzen then reviewed several site
plan details which were of concern to Staff, including proposed access
points to the property, amount of parking, and the location of storage on
the property. He stated that the use could be considered as a home
occupation according to City Code requirements, if proponents were willing
to make a couple of minor changes to the use as it was being operated at
phis-time. Currently, the use was considered an illegal non-conforming use
in this location.
Hallett asked why the use was now considered illegal. Planner Franzen
responded that the use was illegal in terms of the fact that it had outside
storage and the fact that the City Code required that only a certain number
of employees for the use could be from outside the family. Hallett stated
that he did not consider this an appropriate site for future single-family
uses, nor did he consider it appropriate for office, or apartment, uses. He
suggested that the appropriate use for the area would be medium density
residential.
Marhula asked if this property had ever been shown as a more intense use on
any of the earlier versions of the City's Compr,.!h,insiv? Guide Plan. Planner
Enger responded that it had always been shown as Low Density Residential.
Marhula asked what type of land uses were proposed across County Road #18
from this site. Planner Enger responded that Bloomington had designated
this area as low density residential. Marhula asked if the City had yet
received detailed plans for the northwest quadrant of County Road #1 and
County Road #18. Planner Enger responded that they had not yet been
Planning Commission Minutes 6 February 10, 1986
received. He added that the land use question was how far north and south
of County Road #1 along County Road #18 the City wanted to extend commercial
land uses. He pointed out that should this 15-acre area be added as a
commercial district, it would provide more commercial land use than the
Comprehensive Guide Plan had anticipated in this area.
Marhula stated that he had not ever envisioned this area as office use.
Johannes stated that he was uncomfortable with looking at this proposal
without knowing what the overall plan for this entire area would be. He
noted that the Bluffs project, currently under consideration by the Planning
Commission, may have a large impact on this area. He stated that he felt
that he needed to look at the larger picture in order to provide a situation
which would be beneficial to all parties involved. Johannes added that he
would also be uncomfortable with approving a land use on this property at
this time when there was no pressing need to do so. He noted that
proponents had stated that they would not be developing this land for at
least five years, making this a temporary situation at this time.
Bye stated that she, too, was reluctant to have this area designated for
office use without knowing the future plans of the proponents.
Marhula stated that the largest unknown factor involved in this area was
County Road #18, including its final alignment and the alignment of any
frontage roads as they would impact this property. He stated that he felt
it would be important to deal with the impact of County Road #1B prior to
determining the final land uses for property in this area, if they were to
change at all.
Planner Enger pointed out that it should not be necessary to commercialize
all of the land uses adjacent to County Road #18 or its future frontage
roads. He referred to the frontages of Highway #100 and its frontage roads
through Edina as an example. He noted that there were several different
types of uses, mainly single family residential, in this area.
Dodge stated that she was uncomfortable with the idea of an interim use, or
conditional use, permit as it appeared this would still not put the use in a
position of operating legally. Planner Enger stated that it would be
necessary to amend the City Code to allow for a use other than Office as an
interim use, if the City were to use this alternative.
Mr. Hoisington stated that he appreciated the concerns of the City in terms
of evaluation of the use. He added that it was his observation that other
intersections such as this in the city of Eden Prairie had been developed at
the intensity proposed by the proponents. Land uses in these locations
appeared to be either Office, or Commercial, in nature. Mr. Hoisington also
expressed concern regarding the requirement suggested in the Staff Report
for relocating the 30-year-old garage structure. He stated that he did not
feel commercialization of this intersection would provide a negative impact
on the adjacent residential development in this area. He added that the
{ final configuration for County Road #18, and its frontage roads, should be
available soon.
Marhula stated that he still felt that the final alignment of County Road
y1
i
Planning Commission Minutes 7 February 1D, 1986
#18 and the frontage roads for it would have major impact on the overall
road system, and, therefore, the land uses for this area. He stated that
this would be a major intersection for that road system and that it would
eventually impact this whole area. Marhula added that he felt the plan did
have some merit, and that it may be possible for the use to be continued in
some fashion.
Mr. Gary Briggs, 9715 Pioneer Trail, asked about the proposed frontage road
for County Road #18 and the possible impacts of its location upon his
property. Planner Franzen explained that the major concerns of Staff
included adequate stacking distance and safety considerations. He added
that more detailed information would be available at the time the traffic
study for the Bluffs •East 4th Addition Planned Unit Development was
completed.
Planner Enger stated that the traffic study requested with the Bluffs East
Planned Unit Development would likely provide answers regarding the ability
of the proposed road system to handle the amount of traffic that would be
generated in this area based on proposed land uses. He stated that answers
would not likely be available before the Planning. Commission meeting of
February 24, 1986.
Dodge stated that she felt the project may have merit; however, she stated
that she was not certain that method of amending the Comprehensive Guide
Plan was the most appropriate in this situation.
Johannes stated that he felt it would be difficult to consider land use for
just this parcel without taking into consideration the overall picture of
land use in this area. He stated that he felt it would he important to have
the traffic information prior to making a final decision.
Marhula stated that he concurred with Johannes regarding the need for the
traffic information and the need to review the proposal in relationship with
the overall development of this entire area, prior to making a final
—decision. Bye stated that she concurred with Marhula and Johannes.

From: Lt. Jim Clark, Public Safety
Subject: Prairie Center Drive
'K1 As a follow-up to our conversations I would like to
inform you of some safety concerns that we have relating
to Prairie Center Drive and two roads that intersect with
it.
We are well aware that a circular road design provides
O some difficult engineering concerns. However I think
there may be some options in this case that could be
Fexplored for the purposes of public safety.
Prairie Center Drive intersects West 78th Street at
two locations and Valley View Road at two locations.
We are aware that there are only slight changes (in
road names) that can be made without tremendous impact
^ on design ect.
E The problem as it exists today involves the reporting
of accidents and other emergencies at those intersections.
As you are aware response to emergencies and our success
is very dependent on time. With the growing congestion
in the major center area we find our response times getting
longer. With these two intersections we also find the
need to send two squad cars, one to each location. This
system is time consuming and has affected the number
M of squads needed to handle the call. (note: Two cars are
dispatched to an accident with injuries, consequently it
Etakes four cars to cover a call at this intersection.)
We have taken other steps to help us identify the exact
Mlocation by asking our dispatchers to obtain more infor-
O motion, ie near what building ect. However in light of
the procedures we have developed to minimize the problems
we have still been experiencing delays in reponse. Many.
witnesses are unfamiliar with the area and are excited, thus
much of the information is not helpful.

only hope that you will consider anything that will

some strong opinions on this problem and I have talked

612-941-4242
March 13, 1986
Eden Prairie City Council
Attention: Sharon Gagnon
Deputy City Clerk
To Whom it May Concern:
I am opposed to Eden Prairie's proposal to change
West 78th Street to Technology Drive for the following
reasons.
First, Foto Mark has stationary, literature and
business cards that would have to be changed.
Second and more important, numbered streets are
recognized throughout the United States as starting
from the center of town and fanning out. The north,
south, east and west help to denote direction. The
larger the address number denotes the further from
the hub. I am the person at Foto Mark that the
receptionist gives the calls to when people are lost.
I am regularly giving directions and instructions to
strangers. Last Friday I had a gentleman at the desk
looking for Texas Instruments. He knew the number
was 11000 W. 78th Street. He did not know where Texas
Instruments was but he was on West 78th Street and at
12150, so he knew he was to far west.
I appreciate the fact that new streets need names
and it is difficult to match them with existing streets,
especially diagonal and circles. However in this case
it seems like the street was clearly designated before
it was named Technology Drive.
AO
As far as street names continuing across cross-
streets, I have not noticed any proposals for renaming
either Wallace Road or Martin Drive. It seems to me
that Technology Drive should be changed to West 78th
Street to be consistant with a numbering system that
is universally accepted.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: David Lindahl, Assistant Planner
THIGH: Chris Enger, Director of Planning
DATE: March 20, 1986
SUBJECT: YEAR XII PROPOSED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
Eden Prairie, in joint cooperation with Hennepin County and approximately forty-
eight other surrounding communities, is eligible to apply for federal CDBG funds
under the Urban County CDBG program.
The overall objective of the CDBG program is to provide housing and service
opportunities for low and moderate income families, elderly, and handicapped
individuals.
In past years, Eden Prairie has utilized CDBG funds for improvements to the Senior
Center, restoration to the Cummins-Grill House, site acquisition for Edendale
Retirement Residence, Home and Outside Maintenance for the Elderly (H.O.M.E.)
program, Housing rehabilitation of Private Property, and park improvements.
A 33% reduction in funds will reduce Eden Prairie's allocation to approximately
$46,474 over last year's allocation of $72,350. The reduction is a result of
several actions taken at the federal level to reduce the 1986 deficit. The
reduction effects all participating Hennepin County communities.
Hennepin County has released a statement of local objectives which are in accordance
with federal CDBG objectives. The Planning Department has used these objectives in
putting together this year's CDBG proposed activities list. The City is proposing to
fund one or more of the following activities with Year XII CDBG funds, starting July
1, 1966: Home and Outside Maintenance for the Elderly (H.O.M.E.) program,
$1,809.00; Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association (GMDCA), $5,462; Housing
Rehabilitation, $15,000. Fifteen percent of the CDBG funds may be utilized for
Public Service programs or a total of $7,271.00. Public Service activities include
the H.O.M.E. and GMOCA programs. Total funding for the proposed Year XII activities
is $22,000. The remaining $26,203 will be re-allocated to other participating
Hennepin County communities and Eden Prairie will not be penalized for not utilizing
the funds. Attached is a brief synopsis of each proposed activity and suggested
allocations for Year XII.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Year XII activities at its March 10,
1986, Planning Commission meeting, and recommended the following activities;
Household and Outside Maintenance for Elderly (H.O.M.E.), funding for the Greater
Minneapolis Day Care Association, and Housing Rehabilitation program.
A recommendation to fund specific activities is required from the City Council
prior to submitting a proposal for the funds to Hennepin County.
.
PROPOSED CDBG ACTIVITIES (YEAR XII 1986)
ACTIVITY/BUDGET/PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
1. *Household and Outside Maintenance for Elderly (H.O.M.E.)
The program provides funds to South Hennepin Human Services Council for the
cost of providing minor exterior and interior household maintenance and
repairs for low and moderate income elderly (51,809). Since 1983, Eden
Prairie has contributed, via COBG funds, $8,200.00, of which $5,799.00 has
been expended serving 12 households. The remaining S2,400.00 is expected to
be spent within the next 8 to 12 months. The proposed $1,807.00 will
facilitate the program through 1987. Staff feels this is an appropriate
allocation.
2. *Greater Minneapolis Oay Care Association
The program provides funds to the Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association.
The GMDCA subsidize child care cost to working parents who have low and
moderate incomes ($5,462). S8,152.00 was budgeted last year for GMDCA, of
which $2,845.00 was expanded through January of 1986. The GMDCA expects to
spend $3,807.00 by June of 1986. The program has subsidized 4 families, 3
of which are single parent households. The program is expected to grow in
1986. Staff feels $5,462.00 is an appropriate allocation for the next
program year.
3. *Housing Rehabilitation Grant Program
The program provides funds through a grant for housing rehabilitation to
income eligible households. ($15,000)
* Program has previously been funded

March 20, 1986
Mr. John Frane
Finance Director
City of Eden Prairie
8950 Eden Prairie Road
Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Dear John:
Per our conversation, I am enclosing a proposal along with our standard contract
to provide risk management services to the City of Eden Prairie.
Corporate Risk Managers, Inc. was formed in 1974 to manage the insurance for
corporations and governmental entities that are not large enough to hire a
full-time risk manager. We are strictly independent and do not have any
ownership or affiliation with any insurance agency or company. We currently
service in excess of 200 clients.
Our staff consists of over 20 people including risk managers with corporate
insurance backgrounds. This allows for a review of exposures from a buyer's
standpoint rather than from an insurance sales standpoint, which is often the
case with some consulting firms and insurance brokers.
We have an extensive background in managing governmental insurance as our
governmental clients currently number over 65 counties in Minnesota, 14 cities
and numerous other governmental-type agencies. We also have an office in
Milwaukee which manages the insurance for a number of cities in Wisconsin.
Locally, our clients consist of the City of Burnsville, the City of Mounds
View, the City of Maplewood, and the City of Marshall further south.
Our firm was instrumental in putting together the self-insured workers' compensa-
tion
pool for the counties in Minnesota which currently include 81 of the 87
counties, and have also put together a property and casualty pool for the counties
with 55 participating members.

I believe that the City of Eden Prairie would benefit from our services considering
our extensive background in governmental insurance.
We would very much appreciate the opportunity to work for the City of Eden Prairie.
If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to
meeting with the City Council.
Yours very truly,
CORPORATE RISK MANAGERS, INC.

In summary, our activities are performed to assure that the City's assets
are properly protected at the minimum possible cost.
In addition, we would advise the Council of important legislative
activities and insurance marketing conditions. Public Officials' Liability •
is one example.
Why Corporate Risk Managers?
We are the original and most experienced in the field. Backgrounds that
involve years of experience in all aspects--property/casualty - employee
benefits - safety.
The most professional staff available providing continuity of services and
backup for our clients.
Annual Cost
Corporate Risk Managers, Inc. would provide the services specified at a fee of
$5,500.00 plus travel and board expenses to any location outside of Minnesota.
Authorization for such travel, if any, shall be obtained in advance from the
City of Eden Prairie.
The fee would be payable at a rate of $1,100.00 for the first month and the
balance in eleven (11) monthly payments of $400.00 over the remaining months
of the contract period. This fee is based on an estimated 11 days of service
at $500.00 per day. Any days over 11 days specifically authorized in advance
by the City shall be reimbursed at a rate of $500.00 per day. If less than
11 days of service are actually provided by Corporate Risk Managers, Inc., the
fee will be reduced at the rate of $500.00 per day.
Respectfully submitted,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: City Manager Carl J. Jullie
FROM: Assistant to the City Manager Craig W. Dawson
SUBJECT: Acquisition of Property for Fire Station No. 4
DATE: March 20, 1986
In the planning process for a fire station site in southeastern Eden
Prairie, City staff analyzed street systems, development patterns, and
firefighter housing locations in order to determine optimal locations for
Fire Station No. 4. These analyses pointed to a location on Homeward Hills
Road between Anderson Lakes Parkway and Pioneer Trail. Further
investigations into site-specific topography and willing sellers indicated
a variety of constraints and opportunities. Eventually, a site at the
northeast corner of Sunnybrook Road and Homeward Hills Road appeared to be
the most promising.
Late in February staff contacted the owner of the two-acre parcel about
purchasing the property. The owner offered the property for $50,000, an
amount which the City Assessor believes is very reasonable. A I25-foot-
wide NSP power line easement exists along the easterly length of the
parcel. Construction on this easement would be limited to parking lots.
Soil borings show that water is encountered six feet below the surface.
Analysis of soil boring data shows that a fire station could be supported
using spread-footing construction for the foundation. Water and sanitary
sewer are in place around the parcel.
Financing: The property could be purchased outright with funds available
in the General Fund Reserve. An alternative is to purchase an option on
the property until the referendum election. If the referendum measure is
approved, the purchase amount could be financed with bond proceeds rather
than General Fund reserves.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council direct staff to
take an option on property located at the northeast corner of Sunnybrook
Road and Homeward Hills Road and that the purchase price not exceed
$50,000. It is further recommended that Council authorize staff to execute
a purchase agreement for this property after May 7, 1986.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services it_
DATE: March 21, 1986
SUBJECT: City Hall Site Selection
The most recent direction from the City Council regarding site selection was to
obtain a firm price from both Mr. Naegele and the MIS Company regarding site #3 and
site #7. Also, to determine if either company would sell a smaller portion of the
site for a park entry and to contact other property owners owning floodplain in the
Purgatory Creek Recreation Area to determine if they would change their mind
regarding dediction of floodplain property depending on the location of the City
Hall, or moving the major entryway to the park.
NAEGELE PROPERTY (site #3)
Mr. Naegele had originally indicated to the City that he would sell site #3 (minus a
couple of acres that he would require for additional parking for the Flagship) to
the City of Eden Prairie for $3.70 per square foot including .6 acres of floodplain.
The City Council then requested staff to determine the smallest amount of acreage
the City could acquire for City Hall at that site. The City's archtiect determined
that due to the configuration of the site, the soils, etc.; the smallest amount of
property would be approximately 7.4 acres outside of the floodplain. The architect
depicted a schematic entryway system that incorporated the City Hall building with
the entrance to the park. This concept design depicting the City's proposed
boundaries was submitted to Mr. Naegele for his review.
On Thursday, March 20th, Mr. Naegele contacted City staff and indicated that he is
not willing to commit to sell any of his property at this time for a City Hall due
to the almost unbelievable number of people that are using the Flagship facilities.
As a business man, he does not want to sell property that he may need to have in the
future to expand the Club to meet the needs of the members. He is not sure at this
time just how much expansion, if any, will be required and intends to wait six to
seven months prior to making a decision on how much land he wants to retain for
future Club expansion to the north. He understands the City's need for a decision
at this time and regrets that he is not able to make that decision now.
Mr. Naegele does strongly support the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area concept and
would work with the City to ensure that a major entry is available on the east side
fronting on Prairie Center Drive. He is not able to commit where on his site that
entryway may be located. He indicated that it may be on the northern boundary of
his site.
Attached is a copy of the schematic plan the City Architect prepared for the Naegele
site.
MTS PROPERTY (site #7)
Attached for your review is a copy of a schematic plan depicting a possible building
location and access to the MTS site. The hashed in area depicts the original site
'Ili
as proposed by the architect. The solid lines have been drawn by officials at MTS.
Parcel A totals approximately 7.87 acres including approximately 1.12 acres of a
proposed public road right-of-way that would serve Parcel B and the property south
of Parcel B. Approximately 1.4 acres of Parcel A is in the floodplain, leaving 6.47
acres above the 100 year flood elevation for the City Hall and road R.O.W.
MTS would agree to sell at this time, or give the City an option on Parcel B.
The various parcels within Parcel B, marked 81, 82, and B3, are proposed expansions
of Parcel A as suggested by MTS. The entire Parcel B totals 11.91 acres, of which
8.72 is floodplain and 3.19 is above the 100 year flood elevation.
MTS offers to sell the City Parcel A with an option on Parcel B under the following
conditions:
1. The price for Parcel A is $3.70 per square foot for all property above the 100
year flood elevation which totals $1,042,782.
2. Parcel B would be sold to the City at a cost of 10% less than Parcel A which
would amount to $3.70 -10% _ $3.33 per square foot x 3.19 acres = $462,724.
3. All property in the floodplain would be donated to the City provided the City
would establish a reasonable value on the property. I'
4. MTS would offer a one year option on Parcel B that would be renewable two times.
The one year option would cost 10% of the original value of the land (prepaid).
The cost of the new option each year would increase at an agreed index.
5. MTS requests the right to review the building design, as well as the site plan
to ensure there will be no negative impact on the surrounding property.
6. Although the existing taxes and specials assessed to this site are included in
the purchase cost, any new specials to be assessed to the site for the
completion of Technology Drive will be the responsibility of the City.
OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS RESPONSES
Community Services Staff contacted other property owners along the east and north
side of the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area to see if they would still support the
Purgatory Creek Recreation Area plan if the major entry was moved from the
original site on the plan, and also if it made a difference where the City Hall
would finally be located. The major property owners contacted were representatives
at MTS, Lloyd Cherne, Walter Carpenter, Bill Naegele, and Bruce Bermal. All of the
property owners indicated they still supported the Purgatory Creek Recreation plan
and the location of the City Hall would not affect their support of the plan. The
property owners did feel that an entry should be maintained on the east side of the
park.
All property owners were anxious to know when the development of the park plan would
be initiated.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services .
DATE: February 27, 1986
SUBEJCT: Softball field Lighting Bids
In 19135, the City had over 160 adult softball teams. Every year for the last
six years, the City has increased the size of the league by at least 15 teams.
In 1985 all of the softball fields'were used Monday thru Friday night with the
exception of two fields on Friday night. The City could have added four more
teams to play on Friday night and then would have had to turn away teams.
In 1986 softball field number 6, north of the Community Center, will be lost
to construction, as that field is replaced with a new softball field north of
the fire station during the summer of 1986. The City will attempt to schedule
some of the teams that used field number 6 on the new softball field at Franlo
Park, however, that park was seeded in August of 1985 and will not be able to
handle league play five days a week. It is obvious that some softball teams
will be turned away from league competition in 1986.
In order to obtain maximum use of the recreation facilities we already own,
staff recommends the City Council consider lighting fields 92 and #3 at Round
Lake Park. The lighting of these two fields will allow the City to
accommodate an additional 20 teams in league play, if we add one game per
night on each field. (If we are able to add two games per night on each
field, we could accommodate 40 additional teams.) Staff only anticipates
adding one game per night in order to maintain the game schedule within the
park hours of closing at 10 p.m.
Attached to this memo is a letter sent to over 600 residents residing south
and east of these ball fields in Round Lake Park. The residents were invited
to attend the March 3rd Commission meeting to comment on this proposal.
Also, attached to this memo is a memo from Stuart Fox, dated February 25,
1986, that summarizes the bids received for lighting the two ballfields. The
Community Services staff recommend the low bid of Gunnar Electric for design
number two, a six pole lighting system, for a total of $54,537.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services
FROM: Stuart A. Fox
OATE: February 28, 1986
SUBJECT: Softball Field Lighting Bids
Bid proposals for the lighting of two (2) softball fields at Round Lake Park were
opened on February 20, 1986. This memo is a summary of those bid proposals, and
attached is a number of checklist and reference sheets explaining and outlining the
bid submittals.
Four contractors submitted bid proposals based on performance specifications. These
specs involved the staff establishing the basic parameters for the the lighting
project and required the bidder to design the system, submit supporting data,
drawings, etc. The summary of the bid prices is as follows:
Company Design #1 (4 pole/field) Design #2 (6 pole/field)
Base Bid Alternate Base Bid Alternate
Collins Electric
$79,132.00 $75,130.00
Flanagan Sales 63,058.CM 69,558.00
Gunnar Electric 55,549.00 54,537.00
Sports Technology $71,184.00 67,124.00 $10,868.00 67,383.00
NOTE: Base Bid - luminaires with detached ballast at base of pole.
Alternate Bid - ballast mounted on luminaire, except Sport Technology
detached ballast at top of pole.
Major considerations in evaluation of the bids centered around the items listed on
the attached checklist which was included in the bid specification book. Also,
attached is the compiled checklist comparing information submitted by each bidder.
(There is a separate sheet for the 4 pole and 6 pole systems.) Submittal of all
checklist information was a prime factor in evaluation of bid submittals. Without
using a checklist, it is difficult to determine if the system being proposed
measured up to the staff's specifications.
The checklist factors which weighed the most in this evaluation process are as
follows:
1. Uniformity of light levels, a guarantee of light levels, the guarantee that
problems would be corrected by the Contactor/Manufacturer up to 5 years after
installation, and the anticipated light depreciation level at 5 years.
2. Complete electrical/structural drawings approved and signed by the appropriate
engineer to certify their correctness.
3. Reference list attached of similar lighting installations and a contact person
involved with that project.
4. Descriptive literature of the poles, luminaires, and other proposed hardware
involved in the project.
5. Price and miscellaneous details.
21J
It is the opinion of the bidders, as well as that of the staff, that a 6 pole system
of lighting fields gives the best quality/uniformity of light on the playing
surface. The locations of the poles and luminaire aiming direction are basically
the same for each 6 pole system, and this is indicated on the attached copy of the
aerial half section of Round Lake Park.
While the light levels on the field are proposed to be 30 footcandles for the
infield and 20 footcandles for the outfield, the staff asked the bidders to supply a
computer printout of the anticipated footcandle levels extending out 150' south of
the fields. At this distance the light intensity would be in the range of .5 to as
low as .1 footcandles. At a distance of 225' south it is fairly uniform at .1
footcandles.
In a way of referencing these surface light levels, let me compare these to common
traffic/intersection lighting levels.
. Expressway/Freeway 2.0 footcandles
. Tunnels (day) 30-60 footcandles
(night) .7-2.0 footcandles
.▪ Intersection lighting (major) .9 footcandles
(side street) .2 footcandles
While it is anticipated that the surface footprint of the light will be low in
intensity this will not reduce the ability of people in the surrounding area from
seeing the lights. This situation is evident wherever sports lighting is
implemented (example - high school football fields). While the six foot poles are
considerably shorter than the 110 foot poles on the new high school field, they will
certainly be visible for some distance.
r
Utilizing the existing plant material on the south side of the fields in conjunction
with the proper luminaire aiming and the use of glare shields where necessary, the
staff feels that impact of direct glare toward the homeowners to the south will be
minimized.
RECOMMENDATION
While each proposal has its strong points, the staff recommends that the bid for the
lighting of the Round Lake softball fields be awarded to Gunnar Electric. The bid
amount recommended is $54,537 for a 6 pole system on two softball fields. The basis
for the recommendation is as follows:
1. Bid submittal information met or exceeded the specification requirements.
2. Consulting/design engineer for Gunnar Electric proposal has worked on
approximately 150 lighting systems since 1963; most notably Ored Scott Field in
Bloomington, which is a 6 pole/field installation. Based on their experience at
Dred Scott (1977), Bloomington has installed similar lighting systems on other
softball fields, some as recent as 2 years using the same light fixtures and
layout.
3. Gunnar Electric has installed/worked on local sports facility lighting including
the Eden Prairie High School Athletic Field.

4. The quotation price was the lowest.

VIII. OLD BUSINESS
A. Lighting Two Softball Fields at Round Lake Park
Refer to letter dated February 24, 1986 and memo dated February 27,
1986 from Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services and memo
dated February 28, 1986 from Stuart Fox.
Lambert said that a letter was sent to over 600 residents in the
Round Lake Park area notifying them of the City's intention to
light two softball fields at Round Lake Park. He showed a map of
the Round Lake Park plan at this time. The City made a commitment
in 1980 not to light Field #1 because of its close proximity to
homes in the area. Bids have been received to light Fields #2 and
3. The bids for a six pole lighting system ranged from $54,000 to
$75,000 with Gunnar Electric having the lowest bid. A copy of the
standards and criteria used to compare bids was included in the
packet.
Comparing the four pole and six pole system, Lambert said the four
pole is somewhat higher and when asked which would have a greater
impact on the park, he said that both have 60' poles, but the six
pole system has better light distribution which is why it was
chosen.
The closest house to a light pole facing the home is 650 feet.
There are two of these homes on Luther Way. On County Road 4 the
closest homes to a light pole are 450 feet and 495 feet. The light
level is 1/10 of 1 footcandle to 3/10 of 1 footcandle. Lambert
said there would be some impact of the lighting on adjacent homes,
but shields can be added to those lights pointing at the homes to
minimize glare. Also, existing ash trees along the bike trail will
— — -provide screening. Additional landscaping can also be added.
Lambert said the softball season begins in May and runs through
August with a shorter season during the fall. He said the football
association may also decide to use these fields in fall if the
softball teams are not using them.
Baker asked the height of the lights at the hockey rink. Lambert
said they are 20 feet high in comparison with the ones at the high
school football field which are 90 to 110 feet high.
Cook asked if the figures on footcandle levels included shields.
Lambert said no.

Larry Olson, who lives on Walnut Court, said he is concerned with
the lighting and noise. He has watched Round Lake Parks develop
and feels it is one of the prettiest parks in the area. He thinks
the towers will detract from the aesthetics of the park. Olson
asked if staff has considered lighting fields at Staring Lake.
Lambert agreed that towers would detract from the park atmosphere
at Round Lake, but since Staring Lake would need irrigation in
order to have playable fields, there are no other alternatives at
this time. Lambert feels that when the trees mature, this will cut
down the glare from the lights. The next set of fields to be lit
will be at Staring Lake.
Lynn Brooke said that she has put together a petition representing
23 homes on Westgate Drive, Westgate Trail and Luther Way opposing
the lighting of Round Lake Park. Even though the park closes at
10:00 p.m. now, she feels that when lighting is added it will get
later than that. She also said she does not believe that all the
people that play softball either live or work in Eden Prairie.
Lambert said that is the city rule for playing in our leagues.
Lambert added that he feels the communication between team managers
and the athletic coordinator is relatively good and if the team
playing the late game in the evening is told to leave immediately
following the game at 10:00 p.m. when the park closes, they will
comply or have a problem continuing to play in the league.
Regarding limiting the number of teams allowed to play, Lambert
said that we are inviting industries into Eden Prairie who pay
taxes and cash park fees and he feels the new industries would not
get a chance to have a team, if teams allowed to play were limited
to the existing teams.
Gary Clifford of 7601 Ontario Blvd. commented that he has played
softball in Eden Prairie for two years and said that the teams have
been contributing money for lighting fields and he feels they have
done a good job of policing themselves after games.
David Brenner, who lives on Luther Way, said that Lambert seemed
concerned with the residents on Red Rock Way being able to see a
trail outside their house, but doesn't seem as concerned with the
residents near Round Lake seeing glaring lights.
}
Don Jacobson, who lives on Luther Way, said he feels Round Lake
Park is a lovely family park and to put lights up would be a shame.
He added that even though there is an ordinance to close the parks
at 10:00 p.m. there is always a possibility it could be changed to
allow the parks to remain open until 11:00 p.m. or later.

Olson said it could be a mistake to light Round Lake Park and then
find a more suitable location in the next couple of years. Lambert
said the City Needs Study Committee felt that at least six lighted
new fields would be necessary by 1990 plus the Round Lake park
fields and the Staring Lake Park fields.
Jacobsen asked Lambert if he knew anything about the residents near
Dred Scott field in Bloomington that were opposing the lighting.
Lambert said he was not aware of this, but did note that many
expensive new homes are being built around the park.
John Pollock, who lives on Hillcrest Court, asked about the
possibility of lighting the Flying Cloud fields instead. Lambert
said the ballfields at Flying Cloud are youth baseball fields at
this time and the City does not want to put anymore money into them
because they are only temporary and can be taken back by the
Airport Commission with a 90 day notice. Our existing lease
doesn't allow lighting any of those fields.
Steve Lee, who lives on Luther Vay, asked why it was felt that a
trail on Red Rock Lake would be an eyesore, but lighting Round Lake
Park would not be. Lambert reminded Mr. Lee that he agreed that
1 the lighting standards would be an intrusion on the aesthetics of
the park.
Brenner asked why there is so much pressure to light Round Lake
Park. Lambert said that if facilities are not provided, the City
will get pressure from industries who are not able to have teams.
Lambert said that with the high cost of land and the high cost to
develop new parks, it is only fiscally responsible to make the most
use of the facilities we already have.
Bracke presented the petition from residents opposing the lighting
of Round Lake Park to the Commission at this time.
Shaw said he feels the City should make good use of the facilities
it has and that the lighting of Round Lake Park would be a good
move for the City.
MOTION: Shaw moved to recommend approving the lighting of Fields 2
and at Round Lake Park per staff recommendation. Cook seconded
the motion and it passed 6-0.

MEMORANDUM MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services
DATE: March 20, 1986
SUBJECT: BMX Races
Attached for your review is a memorandum summarizing the history of the BMX
program in Eden Prairie and a list of concerns that was reviewed by the Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission on March 17, 1986.
At the March 17th meeting, Mr. Gary Anderson, of the Eden Prairie BMX
Association, and Mr. David Fischer, of Hawk BMX of Shakopee, presented a
proposal to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission requesting
the City approve allowing Hawk BMX to run sanctioned ABA BMX races on the Eden
Prairie BMX track. This request requires City authorization, as the City
presently has a policy that does not allow any individual group, or company
other than Eden Prairie public service organizations to use public facilities.
Mr. Fischer operates an indoor BMX track in Shakopee and proposes to operate
ABA sanctioned races where children would be charged $22/season to cover their
insurance, magazine, etc., plus $5 per race. For the $5 fee they would get
either a trophy or a participation plaque. Mr. Fischer has agreed to not
charge Eden Prairie youth the $5 fee and assures the City that this is a non-
profit operation.
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommended on a 4-1
vote to approve the request of the Eden Prairie BMX Association subject to the
following:
1. The BMX Association can provide liability insurance that is approved by
the City's insurance consultant.
2. The Eden Prairie BMX Association and Hawk BMX can prove to City staff that
each race is a non-profit event, and will allow the City staff to review
all receipts for trophies and other expenses associated with each race, as
well as review of the revenue from that race.
3. That no concession be operated at that track other than a concession
approved by the Director of Community Services, and that is operated by an
Eden Prairie non-profit public service organization.
4. That no Eden Prairie child is charged for any race other than the initial
insurance fee.
5. That the Eden Prairie Community Services staff monitor each race to ensure
the races are being operated as per the requirements of the City Council.
6. That the race operator provide City staff a list of the total number that
participate in each race and a list of the names and addresses of the Eden
Prairie children participating in the race.
1 j
c^
7. That at the end of the season the Eden Prairie BMX Association submit a
report to the Parks, Recreation and. Natural Resources Commission that
indicate the number of children in Eden Prairie that participated in each
race to ensure that a significant number of Eden Prairie children are
being served by this use of public facilities.
Skip Lane, City insurance consultant, has provided a letter to the City
Council regarding BMX races. He indicates that the insurance carrier is not a
licensed carrier in the State of Minnesota and, although, this does not
preclude that insurance company from licensing the American Bicycle
Association, which may happen to have some operation in this State, he would
be much more comfortable with an insurance company that is licensed within the
State of Minnesota.
Mr. Lane notes that Eden Prairie, along with many other cities are having
their liability insurance cancelled this year due to the increasing number of
libability law suits of agencies with "deep pockets". He suggests the City
not encourage the operation of any program that invites particpants from other
communities to participate in high risk activities on City facilities.
The original agreement to allow BMX racing on the track indicated that it was
the BMX Association's responsibility to maintain the track for rating. This
track remains a City facility and if someone becomes injured due to poor i
maintenance, the City would certainly be liable. If the City Council chooses
to approve this operation, the Council may wish to require the City park
maintenance staff review the maintenance on the track before every race to
ensure the track is in good condition.
Gary Anderson, of the Eden Prairie BMX Association, will be in attendance to
present his request for this year.

Dear Bob:
RE: BMX Track
I checked with the Minnesota Insurance Department and they have no
record of National Warranty Insurance Company. It is not licensed
to operate in the State of Minnesota.
As you may know, there is a continuing problem of getting and/or
I
keeping liability insurance on municipalities. I don't think
allowing outside organizations, which involve bringing in many
non-residents, is the kind of potential liability exposure the City
should be assuming for its insurance carrier.
The City is going to need a sound program to determine what type of
services and recreational activities it can provide with the least
potential for law suits. A good example of the kind of thing which
is happening is the law suit we just received. In March of 1980, a
young bicycle rider was hit by a car on Valley View Road. This
rider's attorney is just now suing the City as well as the parents.
My point is that with the numoer of activities going on in a City
an insurance company never really knows what claims may come in
future years.
Sincerely,
Skip Lane

TD: Mayor and City Council
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services
DATE: March 13, 19B6
SUBJECT: BMX Races
During the Fall of 1980, Mr. John Lobben appeared before the City Council requesting
the Council to authorize funding for construction of a BMX track in Eden Prairie.
The Council urged Mr. Lobben to come back to the Council with his request when he
could show a high degree of support from the community for such a project.
In January of 1981, Mr. Lobben came back to the Council with a petition with 119
signatures and a proposal requesting the City to grade the track and allow the BMX
Association to construct the starting gate and be responsible for maintaining the
track.
The Council raised the question of liability during unsupervised periods, as well as
during races. The BMX Association indicated that they would provide the coverage on
all races during the races; however, liability during unsupervised periods would be
under the City insurance policy that would be the same as on ballfields, tennis
if courts, etc.
On February 3, 1981, the City Council approved use of the City bulldozer for grading
the track and the access trail as per the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resource
Commission recommendation. The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
had recommended the City approve the construction of the BMX track and to allow
Midwest BMX to enter into an agreement with the City that would allow Midwest BMX to
tentatively schedule up to six races for the summer, but would require Midwest BMX
to report to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission after the second
race indicating the number of Eden Prairie participants in the first two races
compared to participants from outside the City.
The Commission suggested that the majority of the participants should be Eden
Prairie residents, or no additional races should be authorized. The Commission also
recommended that Midwest BMX provide proof of liability insurance covering all
participants, spectators and volunteers assisting in the operating of the race to
the City prior to each race.
At that time, John Lobben was the president of the Eden Prairie BMX Association and
provided the requested information to the City during the first year of the
operation of the track. After the first year of the operation of the track, the
Community Services staff paid little attention to the operation of the races other
than to scheduling of those events, as there seemed to be no conflicts with
neighbors, etc., and under the assumption the BMX Association was still operating
the track.
Earlier this year, Gary Anderson, 17200 Barberry Circle, notified the Director of
Community Services that he was the new president of the Eden Prairie BMX
Association, and requested information regarding the City's position towards the
-2-
operation of the BMX track. Mr. Anderson indicated that he intended to have Dave
Fischer operate the BMX track rather than Veryl Shoen of Northstar BMX. Later Mr.
r John Lobben called to express his concern regarding the decision to use Dave Fischer
as the operator of the races at the track. Since that time, staff has received
several other phone calls from non-residents on both sides of the issue (ABA vs
USBA) attempting to pressure staff to recommend one user over the other.
On February 13, 1986, the Director of Community Services wrote Gary Anderson a
letter describing the background of the decision to authorize any sanctioned races
to operate on the BMX track. Staff cited the basic philosophical question involving
private individuals or groups making money from City facilities. Only Eden Prairie
non-profit organizations are allowed to have fund raising operations on public
facilities. Staff expressed a deep concern regarding Dave Fischer or any other
group running BMX races at the Eden Prairie BMX track for profit.
The existing City policy limits the use of public recreation facilities to Eden
Prairie public service organizations. These are programs that are operated by the
City or Eden Prairie athletic associations or public service groups such as: The
Lions, the Jaycees, etc. Apparently, the Eden Prairie BMX Association never really
developed an association similar to the Soccer Association, the Baseball
Association, etc. It has basically been a one person association for the last five
years. I requested that Mr. Anderson provide a list of officers of the Eden Prairie
BMX Association. The list is attached to this memo and, in fact, is the total
membership of the BMX Association at this point. Mr. Anderson has also indicated
that he can only think of 11 Eden Prairie youth that are currently active in the BMX
racing program.
Mr. Anderson has also provided the City with a list of the fees that will be charged
to each participant, which include $22 per person to race for the entire season,
which covers insurance coverage for one year, a membership card, rule book and
newspaper. The person is then charged $5 per race. Of the $5, fifty cents per
paying rider is paid to the Eden Prairie BMX Association for maintenance of the
track. Trophies are purchased at an average of $3.65 per trophy and all non
qualifiers are given a participation award. Assuming that 25% of the kids
participating in a race receive a trophy valued at $3.65 and a participation award
might cost $.25, if 100 paying riders attended a race $50 would go toward the Eden
Prairie BMX Association for maintenance of the track, $91.25 would go toward
trophies, approximately $1B.75 would go toward non qualifier participation awards
for a total expenditure of $141.25, which leaves approximately $340 for operating
costs. This is for a single point race. For double point races, the fee is $10 per
child; therefore, the profit on a race that drew 100 participants would increase to
over $600. If we assumed all seven scheduled races were single point races, the
profit would be nearly $2,400, if only 100 kids showed up for each race. Many of
these races have 2DD-300 children showing up and two of the races are tentatively
double point races. Now all of a sudden the profit for this race, not counting
consessions, appears as though it could exceed $5,D00 and it becomes obvious why the
competition is so fierce between the ABA and the USBA promoters.
In the February 13, 19B6 letter to Gary Anderson, the Director of Community Services
indicated that prior to City review and possible consideration of any BMX races in
I9B6 the following would be required:
1. A copy of the bylaws of the Eden Prairie BMX Association.
_ 2. A list of the Board of Directors of the Eden Prairie BMX Association including
names, addresses and telephone numbers.
-3-
3. A written request from the BMX Association requesting City authorization to
conduct races at the Eden Prairie track in the summer of 1986 including the
dates and times of the races requested and the name of the operator of the
races.
4. A list of the fees that would be charged each participant in the race and a
breakdown of what the fee is used for. (This should show a non profit
orgnaization.)
5. A copy of paid insurance policy with a $1,000,000 umbrella naming the City of
Eden Prairie as an insured covering the races proposed.
6. Within 7 days after each race, the City will require a list of names and
addresses of participants in the race. The purpose of this is to monitor what
percentage of the kids participating in these programs are Eden Prairie
residents.
A copy of the information provided by Mr. Anderson is attached to this memo. The
City's insurance agent was requested to review the insurance policy. Commisison
members will note that the certificate of insurance expires as of May 1, 1986 and is
for a 8MX race track during non racing at the track. The City had requested a copy
of a certificate of insurance that would cover the City for participant injury
liabilty during races. The City must have a copy of that prior to allowing and
races to be scheduled. The City's insurance agent discouraged the City from
considering approval of any BMX races on the track citing the increasing liability
concerns the City's insurance carrier has, especially in the area of recreation
programs. The current insurance company will not be renewing the City's liability
insurance policy due to the increasing number of liability claims.
The Community Services Department staff support the 8MX program as a sport and
believe the track could be a positive aspect in the park system ; however, staff is
conerned by the issues that have been raised regarding the operation of races at
this facility. Staff recognizes the nature of the BMX sport in the State of
Minnesota relating to sanctioned races and standard fees for those races; however,
philosophically the staff have a difficult time recommending approval of any sport
that requires an outside entrepreneur opertating a for profit program, and it is
very clear that this is a profit making operation.
The City does have one of the better BMX tracks in the metropolitan area and Mr.
Anderson has proposed several very positive steps to promote the BMX sport in the
City of Eden Prairie, and the promotion would encourage many young people to
participate in the sport as the races would be free to Eden Prairie residents after
they have paid the membership fee.
If the proponent can show that there is no profit in their operation, and if the
proponent can provide the necessary insurance, the Community Services staff would
recommend the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and the City
Council consider approving the operation of the BMX race program on a race to race
to basis. If the races are approved, staff would recommend close monitoring of how
the race is operated, as well as what percentage of the participants are Eden
Prairie residents. If a substantial number of Eden Prairie children show an
interest in this program, and if the interest continues to grow through the season,
perhaps it is worth the liability exposure to continue to allow the racing program.
-a-
However, if there are only 15 or 20 Eden Prairie children interested in this program
compared to the 200-300 kids participating on the Eden Prairie track, it seems
4' questionable for the City to continue to bear that liability exposure.
Mr. Anderson and Mr. Fischer will be in attendance at the March 17 meeting to
explain why they wish to continue this program. If the Parks, Recreation and
Natural Resources Commission recommend approval, Mr. Anderson would then be
requested to present his proposal to the City Council at the April 1 meeting.

any other sport activity in operation at this recreation area.

March 10, 1986
Mr. Bob Lambert
Director of Community Services
City of Eden Prairie
8950 Eden Prairie Road •
Eden Prairie, MN. 55344
Dear Mr. Lambert:
As of March 3rd, 1986, I am the newly elected President of the Eden Prairie
BMX Association. I would like to thank you for your support and concern
regarding the BMX track in our community.
The new Board Members have already made many decisions regarding the Eden
Prairie track. Our recommendations are as follows and the reasons:
1. Returning the Eden Prairie track back to an ABA sanctioned track.
The AISA sanction was originally approved by the City Council in 1981.
In 1984 and 1985 the Eden Prairie track along with a few other tracks
broke off and operated under a USBA sanction. This divided the State
of Minnesota and made it very difficult to form classes for our racers.
As we all know, 6 months in the development and growth of a child makes
a big difference and when they are forced to compete against older
children rather than in their own age class can be defeating. Our goal
is not to defeat but to encourage.
The ABA has always been the stronger and governing sanction and an all
out effort by all track operators and associations to unify the entire
State of Minnesota to be ABA sanctioned has been done. Our goal is
almost accomplished and there arc only a few left who are USBA. This
will return BMX racing hack into a fun sport and competitive for
each child in their own age group.
2. To Promote BMX racing in Eden Prairie.
All Eden Prairie children will always be able to use the track for practice
and race free at single point races scheduled at Eden Prairie.
We will announce Eden Prairie races in the Eden Prairie News.
We will have training sessions for beginners before all races, one hour
before registration begins,.
We will have seminars for Eden Prairie school children at the Elementary
level, CMS. and High School if permission is granted by the principals.
Our goal is to have Eden Prairie youths represent Eden Prairie at other
tracks and hopefully at National races held in other states.
3. To have Hawk BMX, Mr. Dave Fischer be the track operator.
Hawk BMX is an ABA sanctioned operator. Hawk BMX operates a fair, high—
quality race which will help build the local interest once again.
Hawk BMX will award trophies and plaques to racers from 1st through 8th
place for those who qualify in the main event rather that the normal
1st through 4th place.
Hawk BMX offers a participation award to all non—qualifiers. This gives
those children incentive to try again. They did not go away with nothing.
Hawk BMX philosophy is to return BMX racing back to a.sport rather than a
money making operation. The charge of $5.00 to racers other than Eden
Prairie residents will be charged for a class race — girls, novice, Intermediate,
and Expert. $1.00 fee will be charged for all open classes in addition
to normal class race if a racer chooses to race in the open class.
The average cost of a trophy is $3.65. $.50 per paying rider is paid to
Eden Prairie BMX Association for maintenance of the track. This leaves
only $.85 to buy Participation awards for non qualifiers in the main event
and operating expenses. Hawk BMX, Mr. Dave Fischer is not into conducting
a race for profit but for the sport of BLOC racing.
Hawk BMX will pay $.50 per paying rider to Eden Prairie BMX Association
for maintaining the track. In addition they provide the Insurance coverage
for all participants, City of Eden Prairie, spectators, volunteers and the
Eden Prairie BMX Association. $1,000,000.00 limit.
Hawk BMX has the knowledge, equipment and expertise to conduct a high quality
race. They do all the work including registration, scoring, starting,
announcing, distributing promotional literature and providing the trophies.
This would be similar to the resources and expertise provided by the
company conducting the carnivals at Round Lake Park for our civic orgainizations
and community during Schooner Days.
4. The ABA offers a $6.00 fee for beginners which includes a 30 days temporary
membership and a newsletter and race insurance.
ABA membership fee of $22.00 for full member includes insurance coverage
for 1 year, membership card, rule book and assigned number, and action
newspaper. As a full member you will be able to race for both points and
trophies in your age class. You may race novice, intermediate, expert or
Girls. You may race at any ABA track in the United States.
5. Hawk BMX will dedicate one of the Eden Prairie races to Make A Wish of
Minnesota. There will be a bicycle and a free race to a boy or girl
{ designated by Make A Wish of Minnesota.
1 )
•
In summary, this option of having Hawk BMX be the track operator would
mean. no staff time required on race days, would be of no cost to the
city, Insurance will be provided, revenue will be generated for track
maintenance and improvements and high quality motivational races will be
provided.
We are very optimistic that our proposal and promotion of BMX racing will
bring out many more Eden Prairie youths who will come and use the safe
track made for them rather than unsafe, home—made jumps for their BMX
bikes in their neighborhoods.
We appreciate your considering our recommendations and respectfully
request that we be able to proceed with Hawk BMX as a schedule of race dates
needs to be approved as soon as possible.
