IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. LAKE PARK, by the Rottlund Company, Inc. Request for Planned
Unit Development Concept Amendment on 16.7 acres, Planned
Unit Development District Review within the RM-6.5 zoning
district on 16.7 acres, and Preliminary Plat of 16.7 acres
into 102 lots for construction of 98 townhome units. Loca-
tion: Southwest quadrant of County Road #4 and Timber Lakes
Drive. (Resolution #86-157, PUD Concept Amendment; Ordinance
#34-86-PUD-5-86, Rezoning; Resolution #86-I58, Preliminary
Plat)
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing
had been published and property owners within the project
vicinity had been notified.
William Price, engineer for proponents, addressed the pro-
posal.
Planning Director Enger said that this project was reviewed
by the Planning Commission at their June 9, 1986 meeting
at which time they recommended approval of the PUD Concept
Amendment of 16.7 acres, PUD District Review and Zoning
Amendment and Preliminary Plat of the acreage, subject to
the recommendations in the Staff Report of June 6th. He
noted that the Planning Commission also recommended that
a road connection be made to the future road that will be
constructed along the southern boundary of the project.
City Council Minutes -4 - July 1, 1986
Director of Community Services Lambert said that the Parks,
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission will review the
project at its July 7, 1986 meeting. He noted that the only
real issue for the Parks Commission is the road on the future
park land, and that Staff has reviewed the project and recom-
mends approval.
Peterson asked about the smaller size of 17-1/2 feet for the
garages and driveways. Bud Rotter, the proponent, explained
the reasons for designing the smaller size. Pidcock asked
if there were any ordinances dealing with garages that would
require 20 feet rather than 17-1/2 feet. Enger said that,
while the garages would be technically considered single
garages, the ordinance requires only one interior space per
unit.
Pidcock asked about the size of the pond. Al Kramer, en-
gineer for proponent, said it is about 1.4 acres. Pidcock
asked if the pond will be aerated. Price said no. Pidcock
then asked what means would be used to prevent it from stag-
nating. Price said that they have not determined for sure
that a pond can be built there because of the soil conditions,
but that, if one is possible, water runoff from the project
will flow towards the pond and they are also considering a
pump system to augment the water runoff to the pond when
necessary. A discussion of the condition of ponds in simi-
lar locations followed.
Peterson asked if a homeowners' association is proposed and
if the association would be responsible for maintaining the
pond area. Price said there will be a homeowners' associa-
tion and it will be responsible for maintaining the pond.
Bentley asked at what point they would know for sure that
there will be a pond, should approval be given for the pro-
ject tonight. Price replied that they should know before the
first unit is sold. Bentley noted that in the past problems
have arisen with similar projects when people buy property
expecting certain things and then ultimately don't get them.
Price noted that cost of the bids for the pond will determine
whether the pond will be there.
Bentley expressed his concern that the proponents appear to
be discussing feasibility and project alterations at a time
when the Council is considering rezoning approval for the
project. He said that he would have to know exactly what is
included in the project in order to vote in favor of it.
Price said that they would accept that as a condition of
approval and would therefore expect to have to return to the
City Council Minutes -5 - July I, 1986
Council for approval again if, for some reason, they cannot
construct the pond.
Anderson asked about the technique used to construct the
pond. Price explained the construction.
Ed Bellerive, 8050 Timber Lake Dr., expressed his concern
about the increased population causing traffic problems on
Timber Lake Drive and noted that he would like to see the
road to the south be built as soon as possible. He also
said he was concerned about the density of population near
the railroad tracks, in case of derailment or other situa-
tions,and asked if there is some code violation involved in
that. City Attorney Pauly noted that he was not aware of
any regulations dealing with density in proximity to rail-
road tracks. Enger noted that the project is set back
farther from the tracks (300 feet) than is required by
City ordinance.
Enger noted that the traffic increase on Timber Lake Drive
will be 14% more than the original volume anticipated and
he said that the future southern road would help to reduce
the traffic volume on Timber Lake Drive. He recommended
that the developer be bound by some type of guarantee or
assessment agreement so that, when the City acquires the
right-of-way for the southern road, the funds would be avail-
able to build it. Lambert noted that the City has received
an appraisal of the parcel on the south, that negotiations
should begin soon on the parcel, and that he expects the
City to acquire the property before the end of the year.
Ed Bellerive asked about the prices for the units. Rotter
replied that the price would vary from $66,900 to $105,000.
Bentley asked if the existing roadway will be made full width
with a curb. Rotter said it will stay as it is and that
the street was approved as is. Enger noted that the roads
in the project are private roads and that the standard 25-
foot roadway with curb would not be required for the exist-
ing road but would be required for the roadways constructed
in the current project.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the
Public Hearing and adopt Resolution No. 86-157 for the Lake
Park PhD Concept Amendment to the overall Mitchell Lake 1976
PhD on 16.7 acres. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt 1st
Reading of Ordinance No. 34-86-PuD-5-86 for Rezoning. Motion
carried unanimously.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the
Public Hearing and adopt 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 35-86
City Council Minutes -6- July 1, 1986
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt
Resolution No. 86 -158 approving the Preliminary Plat of
Lake Park for Rottlund Company, Inc. Motion carried unani-
mously.
Redpath asked why they are discussing an early grading per-
mit when the Staff Report indicates there is no grading
required. Enger noted that the portion of the project near
the existing buildings has already been approved, and so
construction could begin on those lots prior to 2nd Reading,
but that Staff was not recommending an early grading permit
for the remainder of the project.
Anderson noted that he would like to see the proceedings of
the Park Commission on this item along with an update on the
progress with the southern road prior to the final plat.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to direct Staff
to prepare a Developer's Agreement incorporating the recom-
mendations of Commissions and Staff. Motion carried unani-
mously.
B. STENEHJEM ADDITION, by Kathleen M. Stenehjem. Request for
Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-13.5 with lot fron-
tage variance, and Preliminary Plat of 3.34 acres into five
single family lots. Location: North of Craig Drive, east
of Duck Lake Road. (Ordinance #35-86, Rezoning $ Resolution
#86-159, Preliminary Plat)
City Manager Jullie stated that notice of this Public Hearing
had been published and property owners within the project
vicinity had been notified.
Kathleen Stenehjem, the proponent, addressed the proposal.
Planning Director Enger said that the project was reviewed
at the June 9, 1986 meeting of the Planning Commission at
which time the Commission recommended approval of the re-
zoning to R1-13.5 and the Preliminary Plat of 3.34 acres
into five lots, subject to the recommendations of the Staff
Report of June 6th. He said that the Staff Report recom-
mendations included a tree inventory and a five-foot concrete
sidewalk along the lot adjacent to Duck Lake Trail. In
addition he said that there is a request for variance for a
minimum street frontage of 55 feet for one of the lots that
is coming up at the next meeting of the Board of Appeals.
City Council Minutes -7 - July 1, 1986
for Rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 on 3.34 acres with lot
frontage variance subject to review by the Board of Appeals.
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Pidcock, to adopt Reso-
lution No. 86-159 approving the Preliminary Plat of Steneh-
jem Addition for Kathleen M. Stenehjem.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to direct Staff
to prepare a Developer's Agreement incorporating the Plan-
ning Commission and Staff recommendations. Motion carried
unanimously.
C. EIGHTEEN PARK BUSINESS CENTER, by Investment Services Group,
Inc. Request for Zoning District Change from 1-5 Park to
1-2 Park on 2.85 acres with Preliminary Plat of 2.85 acres
into one lot for construction of a 37,000 square foot office/
warehouse. Location: West of Washington Avenue, South of
Flying Cloud Drive. (Ordinance #36-86. Rezoning; Resolu-
tion #86-160, Preliminary Plat)
City Manager Jullie stated that notice of this Public Hearing
had been published and property owners within the project
vicinity had been notified.
Tony Feffer, the proponent, addressed the proposal.
Planning Director Enger said that this project was reviewed
by the Planning Commission at their June 9, 1986 meeting at which time the Commission recommended approval of the Zoning
District Change from I-5 Industrial Park to 1-2 Industrial
Park on 2.85 acres and Preliminary Plat, subject to the re-
commendations in the Staff Report of June 6th. He also noted
the memo from Donald Uram, Assistant Planner, dated June 24th
that clarified the issue of the Floor Area Ratio and whether
a FAR variance would be required.
Pidcock asked if the building would be two stories or one
story. Enger explained that a 20-foot high building is con-
sidered a two-story building but noted that, while the drawings
of the building showed it to be 20-feet high, the actual
dimensions are 19 feet high and so it is classified as a one
story building.
Anderson asked if runoff and siltation is a problem on that
steep a grade. Enger noted that they recommend a slope of
30% or less, that slopes be sodded, and that curbing be put
in the parking area along with a storm sewer to catch runoff.
Anderson noted that runoff damage should be prevented on new
construction in order to minimize maintenance costs to the
City.
City Council Minutes -8- July 1, 1986
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the
Public Hearing and adopt 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 36-86 for Rezoning from 1-5 Park to 1-2 Park on 2.85 acres. Motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to adopt Reso-
lution No. 86-160 approving the Preliminary Plat of Eighteen
Park Business Center for Investment Services Group, Inc.
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to direct Staff
to prepare a Developer's Agreement incorporating recommenda-
tions of the Planning Commission and Staff. Motion carried
unanimously.
V. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS NOS. 27969 - 28281
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to approve the
Payment of Claims Nos. 27969 - 28281. Roll call vote: Anderson,
Bentley, Pidcock, Redpath and Peterson voted "aye". Motion
carried unanimously.
VI. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Request from Doug4as E. Reuter regarding clarification of
requirements candidates must fulfill
City Attorney Pauly said that, with regard to Resolution No.
79 -135, the resolution has no provisions restricting campaign
contributions for City Council elections except for a period
of ten days before and after the election. He further ex-
plained that the resolution is not part of the City Code and
so it is a policy statement only with no provision for penal-
ty. He said that he intends to ask the Attorney General
whether the City is guided by the census of 1980 or if the
special census is to be relied on and whether the City can
limit campaign contributions. He also noted that the City
does not have enforcement responsibilities for the Unfair
Campaign Practices Act.
Bentley asked if the existing resolution contains a provi-
sion that calls for a filing of campaign contributions.
Pauly responded that it contains such a provision along with
several others but that the resolution is directory, not
mandatory.
Redpath noted that he felt it would be necessary for us to
require a list of contributions in the near future so why
not do it now.
City Council Minutes -9- July 1, 1986
Bentley asked if there was anything to preclude the Council
from adopting an ordinance that would require a contribu-
tion list. Pauly replied that he thought there was nothing
to preclude such a requirement but that he intended to check
that with the Attorney General.
Peterson asked when Pauly would have an answer back from
the Attorney General. Pauly said perhaps by mid-August.
Doug Reuter, 8750 Black Maple Drive, noted that this ques-
tion arose two years ago when he ran for City Council. He
said that he filed a formal complaint with the Unfair Cam-
paign Practices office at the county level because he was
the only candidate to file the required filings. He fur-
ther noted that his goal in asking for the cancellation of
Resolution 79 -135 was to remove it since it has no teeth.
Peterson responded that the Council will seriously consider
the issue as soon as a decision is received from the Attor-
ney General.
VII. REPORTS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS
There were no reports.
VIII. APPOINTMENTS
There were none.
IX. REPORTS OF OFFICERS. BOARDS & COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Council Members
1. Pidcock - Update on League of Minnesota Cities Conference
in Duluth
Pidcock reported on some of the items of interest from
the League of Minnesota Cities meetings that she and
Mayor Peterson attended. Noting that there were some
excellent presentations on Strategic Planning, she dis-
tributed some material on the subject developed by the
Government Training Service and asked the Council mem-
bers for their comments and reactions to the material.
Peterson said that he planned to discuss the subject
with City Manager Jullie and Natalie Swaggert to see
what their expertise or recommendations might be on the
subject. He asked Council members to refer their com-
ments on the material to Mr. Jullie.
City Council Minutes -10- July 1, 1986
2. Pidcock - Letter from Representative Sidney Pauly
Pidcock referred to the letter from Representative
Pauly to Mayor Peterson dated June 24, 1986 that con-
tained a copy of Pauly's letter to the Scott County
Transportation Coalition of June 13th protesting their
support of the Flying Cloud Landfill variance request.
She asked that both letters be inserted in the record.
(Attachment A)
3. Pidcock - Letter from Diane Kearns, 6611 Duck Lake Road
Pidcock asked Director of Public Works Dietz if any-
thing had been done or any conclusion reached regarding
the situation described by Ms Kearns. Dietz responded
that there appears to be some problem with the yard
eroding and that they need to do some restoration on
her property.
4. Anderson - Rain Runoff from Construction Sites
Anderson commented on the recent rain runoff damage and
siltation on several construction projects in the City
and asked whose responsibility it is to protect our
natural resources from such runoff. He expressed con-
cern about the loss of top soil and filling in of ponds
and lowlands because of the conditions of siltation.
Bentley noted that the erosion control requirements for
developers may not be adequate and then commented that
it might be necessary to increase the requirements if
it is feasible to do so.
Anderson asked Staff to report back to the Council with
some recommendations on this problem.
5. Anderson - Issuance of Burning Permits
Anderson noted that the City allows burning permits in
some situations but questioned whether such permits
should be issued. He expressed concern about smoke con-
ditions created by the burning when there are tempera- -
ture inversions and about the location of fires near
residential areas or, in one instance, near a child care
facility. He said he feels somewhat responsible to the
neighborhood and businesses in the area where the burning
occurs.
Bentley said that he would like to see something from
Staff as to our policy for issuing burning permits and
some specifies involved in a particular incident in order
City Council Minutes July 1, 1986
to make a logical decision on the subject. City Manager
Jullie noted that Staff should have something back by
the next Council meeting.
Mayor Peterson asked City Manager Jullie to commend the
Public Safety Division for the high marks they received
in their recent review.
B. Report of City Manager
1. City Office Space
City Manager Jullie reviewed his memo to the Council
regarding the City Hall space needs. He noted that, of
the twelve potential leasing sites reviewed by our
leasing consultant, Mr. Kellogg, they recommend the
list be narrowed to the six sites listed in Mr. Kellogg's
letter to the Council dated June 27, 1986.
Wally Daniels of Setter, Leach & Lindstrom Inc., Con-
sulting Architects, reviewed the preliminary design for
a new City Hall at the Mitchell Road site.
Bentley asked what the estimated cost was for the build-
ing. Daniels said the total project cost would be
approximately $2.5 million, including everything.
Bentley then asked how this would be financed. City
Manager Jullie said that a portion of the amount would
be taken from the General Fund surplus with the balance
financed by a contract or loan to be repaid by a General
Fund levy each year for five years. Jullie said the
estimated cost impact is 1.1 mills over the six-year
period 1987 through 1992.
Bentley asked what portion of the cost would be taken
out of the General Fund reserve. Jullie said $500,000
would be taken initially. Bentley then asked what the
approximate cost would be to lease space during the same
period of time. Jullie responded that leasing would be
in the range of $250,000 - $300,000 per year.
Bentley asked if we would need to have a bond referendu
in order to accomplish the construction. Jullie said
this plan would not require one. Bentley asked if, in
Mr. Jullie's opinion, the City would be able to respon-
sibly manage this type of project. Jullie replied that
he believed it could.
City Council Minutes -12- July 1, 1986
Bentley asked about the timetable for the project.
Jullie responded that, if the Council authorizes the
project soon, the design could begin and we could be
in a position to award a contract in January or Feb-
ruary with possible completion in the spring of 1988.
Redpath noted the importance of educating the community
to the need for more space since the referendum was
turned down.
Peterson said he believed that the Council needs to
decide at this point where we are in our own process
on a decision as to a building project on a specific
site as opposed to leasing. Bentley noted that he
believed we had established that Mitchell Road was the
site. A discussion followed regarding the previous
decisions on City Hall made by the Council.
Bentley asked, if we decided to build the project,
do we lease space in the interim or continue with the
crowded conditions at the current site. Jullie said he
recommended that we proceed with the building project
and stay in the current building until construction is
completed.
Redpath said that he felt we didn't have any informa-
tion regarding leasing included in the referendum and
further that we didn't say what would be done until
the building was completed. Bentley said he believed
the information was available but that the community
chose not to listen.
Peterson said that he was not comfortable with settling
on Mitchell Road as the building site by default and
that he believed it was capricious to decide now on the
Mitchell Road site.
Pidcock noted that she believed Mitchell Road was men-
tioned as the future site for City Hall at the time the
Public Safety building was constructed.
Peterson said he believed it was important to pay atten-
tion to the committee process and not make a quick deci-
sion on Mitchell Road and then experience a backlash of
community reaction.
Redpath said he agreed with the suggestion in Mr. Jullie's
memo on City Hall space needs to continue the matter to
the August 19th Council meeting and to encourage public
input on the subject. A discussion followed regarding
City Council Minutes -13- July 1, 1986
how to provide the community with adequate information
on the alternatives in order for them to respond in an
informed manner.
Anderson noted that we should retain the process used
the first time around and begin it again rather than
bypassing the process and having the Council make the
decision. A discussion followed regarding the process
to be established for the decision on City Hall and the
time involved for the process to be completed.
Pidcock said that she believes the longer the process
is drawn out the more expensive it becomes for every-
one concerned and that she thought a deadline should be
set for making a decision.
Redpath said he believed it was important to publicize
the alternatives available and to spell out the costs
to build versus leasing costs. Peterson said he thought
it was essential to go to groups of people as well as
relying on newspaper coverage. Bentley suggested a
series of public hearings held by the City Council to
obtain input from the community, but also noted that
he believed the Council will ultimately have to make a
decision.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to continue
this item to the next City Council meeting in order to
get more specific figures on all costs involved in a
building project for inclusion in a new referendum.
Anderson asked if that could be done in two weeks.
Jullie said that he believed positive action by the
Council was what was required and, if the decision is
to build rather than lease at this time, we should pro-
ceed as quickly as possible.
Anderson said he thought we still need to lease some-
thing in the meantime if we are to get rid of the por-
table space at the current site. A discussion followed
as to solutions to ease the space problem while a build-
ing is constructed.
THE MOTION WAS WITHDRAWN BY REDPATH WITH BENTLEY'S CON-
SENT.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to direct
Staff to more closely explore the six alternative leasing
sites and report back by August 19th and to continue this
item to the August 19th meeting of the City Council.

City Council Minutes -14- July 1, 1986
Peterson asked if, in the interim, we are to encourage
the media to publicize the leasing and construction
cost figures and to invite comments from the community.
The consensus was to publicize and invite comments.
Anderson said he would also like to have some cost
figures on the Gelco portaspace buildings as an alter-
native to leasing.
Peterson said that he would vote for the motion with
the understanding of the Council that, in his opinion,
this will not satisfy the process that must be followed
in order to make a decision.
Pidcock said that she would also like to see some
figures on the taxes paid under the leasing alterna-
tives.
VOTE ON THE MOTION; Motion carried unanimously.
Director of Community Services Lambert said that, at
the Special meeting of the City Council held to discuss
City Hall, he had presented a question on proceeding
with the referendum for the recreation facilities and
that he had been told to put it on hold until the July 1st
meeting of the Council. He said that the groups had
been told it was to be a spring referendum and that
it requires quite a bit of time to prepare for a referen-
dum.
Peterson said he thought we need to make a decision on
the City Hall question as a priority. Anderson said he
believed that, since we had a chance at the City Hall
referendum and it didn't pass, the Park & Rec. referen-
dum was the next one in line. He said he didn't think
it was necessarily right to hold back the Park referen-
dum because City Hall didn't pass. Redpath said he
believed the number one priority is still the City Hall
question.
Bentley noted that he didn't think there was any basis
for us to be considering a referendum on City Hall at _
this time. He said he believed our options are to rent
space, stay where we are, or build a building without
the need for a referendum; therefore, he believed we
should move forward with the Park & Rec. consideration
because those needs are also very great.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Bentley,:to,directi
Staff to begin preparations for a referendum on the
Park A Recreation needs. Motion carried:'unanimously.

Dear Gary:
I am sharing a letter with you and the Council that I
wrote, and the City delivered, to the Scott County Commissioners.
I previously had a most unsatisfactory conversation with Mark
Stromwell, the Scott County Chair, regarding Scott County's
action at the same time they were petitioning me for support
for their roads.
I also called Earl Gnan on the Carver County Board who
promised to try to get a favorable resolution. Carver County
delivered.
I don't think it would hurt a thing if you and the Council
were to send the Shakopee Mayor and Council a letter regarding
their resolution to the Met Council.
BFI's withdrawal of their variance request appears to me
to be only a temporary lull in the overall battle. I am also
including the latest entry in my file concerning the mafia
rumors.
Sincerely,

Attention: Mark Stromwell, Chairman
P. O. Box 153
Shakopee, MN 55379
Dear Sirs:
Thank you for your recent letter concerning Scott County's serious
transporation problems. As a friendly neighbor, and member of the House
Transportation Committee, I have taken a keen interest in helping Scott
County whenever possible. For example, I was instrumental in arranging our
Transportation Highway Subcommittee's visit to your Court House for a
public hearing. I have consistently voted for more funding - even a gas
tax - as well as State Highway signs for Valley Fair and Canterbury Downs.
I am telling you this so you can understand how betrayed and disappointed I
feel to have the Scott County Environmental Health Officer, as well as the
County Board, voluntarily enter into an Eden Prairie dispute on the side of
our multi-million dollar, Fortune 500 adversary. Browning Ferris
Industries, which operates Flying Cloud Landfill, is applying for a
variance so they can continue operating in spite of leaking toxic wastes
working their way into groundwater beneath the Minnesota River. According
to State Law, written to protect the environment, the landfill should not
be permitted to expand until a clean-up or control plan is approved, a
supplementary EIS approved, and permits granted. Albeit legal, the
variance is a way around the normal process. The Metropolitan Council
staff recommended the variance be denied.
Recently BFI has been able to get in Statute an exemption from the
Certificate of Need process while specifically assuring that the Louisville
Landfill (which had an identical expansion timetable) was not. Mr.
Frechette appeared in person and gave strong testimony before the
Metropolican Council's Citizen Advisory Commission to the effect that our
dump in our City should have a variance to continue operating over our
objections. He even testified that the dump was well managed and clean.
(How does he know? He couldn't have talked to neighbors). The Resolution
from the Scott County Commissioners hurt. We didn't know it was coming and
certainly did not expect to be ambushed by a neighboring County Board.

We have abundant mutual 4nterests with Scott County. We are joined by a
beautiful river, an Overburdened highway, and strong economic ties. Why
Scott County should jeopardize good political relations by reenforcing a
huge Dallas, Texas company that is well able to take care of itself, is
beyond me.

July 1, 1986
Homeward Hills Park Improvements
In 1984 the City began development of Homeward Hills Park. The majority of
the 37 acre park consists of low, wet soils; however, there were two high
sandy hills located under the NSP easement. These hills were cut down and the
sandy soil was spread over the bog area to provide active use play fields.
There was very little topsoil available and the growth of the sod has taken
two years and is still only considered in marginal condition.
In 1985 a playground structure was constructed, a backstop was installed on
the softball field and class V was placed on a portion of the parking lot that
had stablized.
The Park and Open Space Capital Improvement scheduled paving the parking lot
and installing the multli-use court and two tennis courts at Homeward Park
during the summer of 1986. City staff requests authorization to advertise for
bids for the construction of the two tennis courts and the multi-use court at
this location. The estimated cost for this project is $30,000, payments to be
made from cash park fees.
Approximately one-third of the park road system has been surcharged and is
still settling after two years. Staff proposes to complete the paving of the
parking lot serving the softball field and the parking lot serving the
southern portion of the park this summer. Completion of the remaining portion
of the park road and parking lot will have to be delayed until 1987.
A request to construct a warming house/park shelter, hockey rink and skating
area, scheduled for 1987, will be forth coming later this year.

The developer, Mount Curve Developers, has requested City
Council approval of the final plat of Mount Curve Addition, a
townhouse development located west of Franlo Road and south of
Mount Curve Road in the North 1/2 of Section 25. The plat
contains 7 townhouse lots, 1 common area lot and 1 lot
encompassing the existing maintenance building for Olympic
Hills Golf Course, for a total area of 2.88 acres.
The preliminary plat was approved by the City Council July 16,
1985, per Resolution 85-170.

MOUNT CURVE ADDITION
Zoning to RM-6.5 was finally read and approved by the City
Council June 17, 1986, per Ordinance 25-85.
The Developer's Agreement referred to within this report was
executed June 17, 1986.
VARIANCES:
All variance requests must be processed through the Board of
Appeals.
UTILITIES AND STREETS:
Sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewer have not been
extended into this property; therefore, it will be necessary
to bring those utilities in from Frani() Road.
Because this plat drains to a landlocked pond on the east side
of Frani° Road, it was determined an outlet for this pond be
provided in conjunction with this plat. An agreement between
the developer and the City providing for this outlet has been
established.

All utilities (except storm sewer), streets and drives will be
privately owned and maintained. Prior to release of final
plat, a covenant defining maintenance responsibilities for
utilities and streets shall be provided to the City.
A drainage and utility easement over all of Lot 8, as shown on
the plat, is not acceptable and the plat should be revised to
show easements over lot boundaries and storm sewer alignment
as required by City Codes.
In 1976, this property was partially assessed for lateral
sewer and water benefits, trunk assessments and street
improvement assessments, based on the parcel not being fully
utilized. Now that full utilization of the parcel is
proposed, total assessments are due in the amount of $22,000.
PARK DEDICATION:
The requirements for park dedication are covered in the
Developer's Agreement.

e
City Council which summarized thelftGruff Safe House Progra
m
proposed by Public Safety Department staff..,as A new componentqf its crime prevention program. One issue Which heeded furthe
r
clarification was the City's potential liability in sponsori
n
g
a
program where children can find refuge inJheliOme of anothe
r
family. If a child isrhurt in someone else's house, this
liability would be covered by the residential liability insurance
required of the volunteers. If 'a :chilclWere: to be abused or
molested in the house, the City may be named as a liable party. " The City Attorney's Office believes, noweveri,that if the Cit
y
were to make a good faith background check of program volunt
e
e
r
s
,
the City's efforts should be deemed reasonable and thus mini
m

or remove the City's exposure. Having the -Program will not increase the City's liability insurance premiums.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH:
City Manager Carl J. Jullie
FROM:
Assistant to the City Manager Craig Dawson
Crime Prevention Specialist Molly Koivumaki
SUBJECT: Information regarding McGruff Safe House Program
DATE: July 1, 1986
The Eden Prairie Public Safety 'Department wishes to expand its crime
prevention and public safety efforts by establishing a *Gruff Safe House
program. Community contacts are being made to gauge interest in the -
program. Insurance and liability issues are:also being explored. A full
report will be made to theCity: Council at its July 15, 1986 meeting' So
that the Council can decide Whether the City should be Providing this
service.
A Safe House is a safe refuge for children who are on the streets away from
their homes. "Safety Neighbors" are expected to tall the police if
children are in emergency situations or are subjects of possible crimes..
They will also be responsible for filing an incident report withthe Public
Safety Department. Children will be encouraged to go to , Safe Houses when _
such situations may occur. Safety neighbors will be volunteers, subject to
police background checks, and required to have residential accident
Insurance in order to participate in the program.
The Eden Prairie Crime Prevention Fund would cover the nominal cost
associated with supplies for the McGruff Safe House program. ("McGruff"
refers to the cartoon dog which is used in crime prevention education
materials.) This type of program has been used with success in other
metropolitan communities.
CWD:MK:jdp
MOGPUFF SAFE HOUSE
Each neighborhood will designate at least one home on each block where buses pick
up children as a McGruff Safe House. A McGruff Safe House sign will be displayed
prominently in the window of this 11)1w, and the resident (the McGruff Safety
Neighbor) will be on call whenever children are on the street, particularly before
and after school. (The Safe House signs remain the property of the Men Prairie
Crime Prevention Fund.)
HOW CAN YOU HOST A MOGRUFF SAFE HOUSE?
A licGruff Safe House sign will be issued to a person designated a Safety Neighbor
who fulfills the following criteria: is responsible and of good moral character;
18 years of age or older; not convicted of any violations of law except for minor
traffic offenses; voluntarily submits to a law enforcement records check, and is
approved by an independent reference check.
WHAT WILL A SAFE HOUSE PPENTDE?
The Safety House will provide a safe refuge to children who are on the street away
from their brines. Safety Neighbors are expected to call the police (9-1-1) if any
of the following situations occur:
- A child is molested.
- A child is frightened or approached by a stranger.
- A child has witnessed an indecent exposure.
- A child is bitten by an animal. (If possible, the Safety Neighbor should
make a description of the animal and its whereabouts. If it is a dorrestic
animal, try to find out who the owner is.)
- A child is lost.
- A child is enticed or coerced into an automobile. Child abductions are often
planned to look quite innocent, so do not hesitate to report anything that you
think may be an abduction. Describe the vehicle and its occupants when calling
the police department, and get the license plate number if possible.
In addition, a Safety Neighbor is responsible for filing an incident report with
the Fden Prairie Public Safety Department.
A Safety Neighbor is also responsible for notifying the sponsoring group when
he or she can no longer participate in the MeGruff Safe House_program, or if
the window sign is stolen or misplaced. Signs will be numbelorby the Prim Prairie
Crime Prevention Fund when they are given out. The signs can be replaced, and
new numbers issued, but misplaced or stolen signs could be used to accomplish
exactly what the mcGruff Safe House program is trying to prevent.
Safety House signs will be placed in a window of the Safe House that is visable
from the street. Public Safety officials and the Safe House program sponsors
reserve the right to reclaim a sign at their discretion.
-1-
Civil Liability: Each Safety Neighbor is also required to have residential accident
insurance in order to participate in the program. Personal negligence on the part
of any participant in the MCGruff Safe House program could result in formal legal
action.
WHAT SHOULD A SAFETY NEIGHBOR NOT DO FOR CHILDREN?
While a Safety Neighbor is responsible for any child while he or she is in the Safe
HOuse, the key word in the program is "emergency". Therefore, certain rules must
be observed to prevent misuse of a Safe House. The Safety Neighbor should not:
- Allow the home's toilet facilities to be used. (This is not the type of
emergency for which this program is designed.)
- Provide food or beverages to a child.
- Administer first aid except in extreme situations.
- Transport any child in a vehicle.
AMcGruff Safe House program is most effective when it is a cooperative effort
among the key adults in a child's life. Therefore, school officials, law
enforcement and parents all play important roles.
THE ROLE OF THE scam
The school administration may make time available for a law enforcement official
or a Crime Prevention Fund representative to explain the McGruff Safe House
program during a series of classroom visits.
Teachers will instruct their students to recognize the McCruff Safe House signs
and will stress to the children that the keyword in this program is "emergency".
THE ROLE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
The Public Safety office will provide staff members to help instruct the children,
and will fully cooperate when Safety Neighbors call to report an energency.
THE PARENT'S ROLE
Parents should prepare their children to travel to and from school safely as well
as reinforce'the lessons the children will learn from other participants in the
MCGruff Safe House program.
Parents should walk their children's route to and from school with them, and the
blocks surrounding their street, and point out the Safe House locations, and other
good places to go in an emergency. These places would include' a store, police
station, or a particular neighbor. The parent should also point out the places
children are to avoid, including deserted buildings, public restrooms, recessed
doorways and other potentially harmful areas.
-2-
. ,P
Children riding buses should be made aware of NtGruff Safe Houses near their
pick-up points and on their route home. This walk should be used as an
opportunity to discuss all aspects of crime prevention with the children; they
should know that being alert, aware and prepared is not the same as being
frightened or careless.
Parents should also teach their Children:
- their full name and address, including city and state.
- their full telephone number, including the area code.
- how to use the telephone, both push botton and dial models, to
make local calls, long distance calls, and emergency calls, and
how to reach the operator.
- to walk and play with a friend or in a group.
- that a stranger is someone you don't know at all, or don't know well.
- that if they are being followed by a car or on foot, they should run
to the nearest "Safe House", public place or neighlx)r.
- that no adults have authority over than simply because they are bigger.
Strangers often use enticements, asking children to help them find a
lost puppy, or offering to pay for a video game, or asking children to
take a walk to "show" them something. Children should be taught that,
while it is very unusual for an adult to ask a child for directions,
or offer to give than presents, there are many adults that children
can trust and ask for help.
If children arrive home safely fram school, but their home is empty until
their parents return, they should also know:
- the phone numbers of their parents' places of work and that of a trusted
neighbor, as well as the emergency numbers mentioned earlier.
- to check in with a parent of a neighbor when the children are safely in
the house with the doors locked.
- how to work the home's door and window locks.
- what the family procedure is for answering the door and telephone
when a parent is not hare.
- how to get out of the home quickly in case of fire.
Finally, parents should stress that they want to be told whenever anything
happens to the children that makes them feel strange c "funny" in anyway.
Parents cannot be with their children at all times, and children can play
a great part in keeping themselves safe by always telling their parents when
sanething is said or done that makes them feel uncomfortable. The discussions
that ensue will help make children less vulnerable, and less unnecessarily
fearful.

2. Zoning District Change from RM-6.5 to R1-13.5 on 10.06
acres.
3. Preliminary Plat of 10.06 acres into 15 lots and three

Background
In 1984, City Council approved a
townhouse project for this site
known as Shady Oak Ridge Townhomes
totalling 36 units on approximately
11 acres of land at a density of 3.3
units per acre. At that time, a
multiple family use was considered a
better use of the property since
clustering of the units would
minimize grading and tree loss more
than a single family plan on this
site.
Site Plan
The preliminary plat depicts the
subdivision of 10.06 acres into 15
single family lots and three outlots
at a gross density of 1.5 units per
acre. If the areas included in the
three outlots are excluded, the net
density of the project, based on 9.3

Tree Loss
Two tree inventories have been conducted on this site. The May, 1984, tree
inventory was conducted concurrent with the approval of the multiple family plan.
The May, 1986, plan identifies additional trees that would be lost to development
which are located primarily in the future development area. The tree inventory was
conducted for trees that are 12-inch caliper or greater in size. It should be
pointed out, that according to Attachment B, there are significant areas of heavy
tree growth which would not be disturbed due to grading. This means that the
proposed cut into the site for roadway and house construction will not be highly
visible from Rowland Road and Shady Oak Road. Since there are steep slopes and
existing trees are on both sides of proposed Shady Oak Ridge Road, it does not
appear that there is an alternative way to locate the roadway and regrade the site
to save more trees than what is being lost due to construction as depicted by the
tree inventory.
Prior to any additional grading work on-site, the grading limits must be restaked
with a snow fence. A detailed tree inventory within 25 feet of the grading limits
must be submitted for review. Any trees lost outside of the grading limits shall be
replaced on an area inch per area inch basis.
Utilities
Sewer and water service can be extended to this site by connection to existing sewer
and water lines in Old Shady Oak Road.
Storm water run-off is proposed to drain along the street into catch basins and will
be discharged into a pond within Lot 7. From that point, water flows across Shady
Oak Road to the east into a lowland area.
Previously, the surcharging of Lots 7 and 8 created flooding problems on adjacent
properties. By installing storm sewer pipes around the surcharge, it allowed for
positive drainage to occur.
Trails
As part of the previous approval for the multiple family project, a trail system was
required by the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission where shown on
the attached previous multiple family plan. This should be completed concurrent
with building construction on-site.
Rezoning
Attachment C indicates an area to the south of the proposed first phase of the
single family area that was part of the original multiple family project and is
currently zoned RM-6.5. In addition, Outlot B is proposed for rezoning to single
family at this time. Since sewer is not available to Outlot 8, and a RM-6.5 zone
would now be out of character with the surrounding land uses, both of these areas
should be zoned Rural. This can be accomplished by republishing the public hearing
notice to include a change to Rural zoning prior to City Council action.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The Staff would recommend approval of the request for Comprehensive Guide Plan
Change from Medium Density to Low Density Residential, Rezoning from RM-6.5 to Ri-
(

A. Modify the site plan to provide a 50-foot landing pad at Shady Oak'
Road and Shady Oak Ridge Road at a maximum percent grade of 2%.
B. Modify the grading plan in the future development area as depicted
on Attachment 8 to provide a more gradual grading transition to the
property to the nOrth and west.
C. Submit sight vision distance information based on a 35 mile per hour
design speed for Rowland Road and provide horizontal and vertical
profiles indicating the extent of sight vision distance.
D. Submit a grading plan which defines the actual construction limits
and provide a tree Inventory within 25 feet of the outer boundaries
of the limits for review.
Prior to Final plat approval, proponent shall:
A. Submit detailed storm water run-off and erosion control plans for
review by the Watershed District.
B. Submit detailed utility, storm water run-off, and erosion control
plans for review by the City Engineer.
3. Prior to Building permit issuance, proponent shall:
A. Pay the appropriate Cash Park Fee.

Amendment from Medium Density Residential to Low Density Residential
on 10.06 acres, Zoning District Change from RM-6.5 to R1-13.5 on
10.06 acres, and Preliminary Plat of 10.06 acres into 16 lots and 2
outlots for a single family development. Location: North of Rowland
Road, west of Old Shady Oak Road. A public hearing.
Mr. Ron Krueger, representing proponent, reviewed the previously approved
Planning Commission Minutes 2 June 23, 1986
plan for development of the property, which had been shown for multiple
family residential development. The owner was now proposing single family
residential development of the land for sixteen single family lots. Mr.
Krueger stated that the previously approved density for the development was
3.4 units per acre; the proposed density of the property was 1.5 units per
acre. He added that the road alignment through the property was nearly the
same as that previously approved for the property.
Chairman Schuck asked about tree loss based on the proposed plan. Mr.
Krueger responded that there would be additional tree loss, but that maximum
road grades would be used in all cases in order to save as many trees as
possible.
Planner Franzen reviewed the findings and recommendations of the Staff
Report of June 20, 1986, with the Commission. He explained the concerns of
Staff with respect to the proposed grading and tree loss and discussed the
extension of utilities to this property and the property to the west known
as the Garden.
Ruebling asked about the safety of the posted speed on Rowland Road. Staff
explained that the road was posted for a 35 miles per hour speed; however,
measures could be taken to make the curve of the road safer.
Mr. Krueger asked about the recommendation for a path along the road,
considering the steepness of the road. Planner Franzen stated that this
would be reviewed in time for action by the Council.
Mr. Joseph Ruzic, proponent, asked for clarification regarding the recommendation for erosion control. Planner Franzen stated that erosion of
sloped areas was often a problem in areas such as this. He noted that the
proponent appeared to have the matter under control at this time and that
the purpose of the recommendation was to see that the erosion control was
maintained.
Mr. Wayne Kinion, 6401 Shady Oak Road, stated that he felt the proponent had
done a good job so far in controlling erosion from the development of the
property. Mr. Kinion referred to the letter he had sent to the City, which
had been made part of the file on the project. He stated that he was
concerned that the development of the proponent's property not prejudice the
eventual use of the property owned by the Kinion family. Mr. Kinion stated
that potential buyers were contemplating the use of office on his property.
Hallett asked how the Kinion property was zoned. Planner Enger responded -- that the property was zoned Rural at this time and that it was guided for
Medium Density Residential development according to the Comprehensive Guide
Plan. Hallett stated that he could support Medium Density Residential use
of the Kinion property, but that he was uncertain that office use would be
appropriate on that site.
Mr. John Luknic, owner of the property known as the Garden, west of the
proposed development, stated that he had no objections to the proposed
development. He added that he would be looking forward to participation
with the proponent in extension of utilities from this site to service his
property, as well.

traffic movement at this location.
Windsong 3 June 20, 1986
A road system has been studied for the possibility of looping back to Anderson Lakes
Parkway through the Richard Miller property to the northwest of Windsong; however,
it is not being recommended because it would have to be built across several hundred
feet of floodplain.
Grading
Elevations on this site range from a high point of 846 along the top of the knoll
along the western property line, to a low point of 820 along the eastern property
line adjacent to Purgatory Creek. The property is sloping to the north, south, and
east from the top of the knoll. The proposed grading plan shows a maximum of eight
feet of cut along the top of the knoll to approximately six feet of fill adjacent to
the floodplain. This is expected to change with the relocation of the road and
additional right-of-way; however, should not change significantly. There are two
ponding areas proposed on this site. One is adjacent to Chestnut Drive to the
south, and another ponding area is located between the first and second private cul-
de-sacs. Elevations within these ponds will range from 818 along the southern
property line to 813. The entire storm water catch basin system in this area has
been designed to empty into these two storage ponds with the overflow being
discharged into the Purgatory Creek floodplain.
In conversation with the Watershed District, a high water mark for the floodplain
has been set at the 824 contour line. Because of this, some fill is expected within
the floodplain. The Watershed District has set the total amount of fill in the
floodplain which is determined by total floodplain area within the property at
11.7%. Based on calculations by the Watershed District, this encroachment has been
calculated at 2.6% and is within the requirement. However, based on an additional
ten-foot of right-of-way relocation, additional fill may be required within the
floodplain. This fill should not exceed 11.7%.
Overall, because the site is relatively flat, grading is not excessive. There are
some exceptions which include the retaining wall located along the western property
line, which based on a new roadway design, should be eliminated and also there is a
lack of berming throughout the project. Revised plans shall show the relocation of
the roadway system, any additional fill into the floodplain, and a series of berms
located throughout the site to help screen parking areas and help break up views of
the garage fronts.
Landscaping
Based on a total of 18 buildings with a gross square footage of 111,038, a total of
346 caliper inches of plant material is required. The proponent is providing a
total of 783 caliper inches based on the submitted landscape plan. A total of 364
caliper inches of decidous trees are being provided and 419 caliper inches of
coniferous trees. Based on the plant list, there is a good variety of both plant
species, quantities, and sizes on the site which do a good job at providing variety,
in addition to helping screen parking areas and help break up the building mass.
Staff is recommending that along with the revised grading plan depicting additional
berming, a revised landscape plan should also be submitted.
Architecture
Two different building types are proposed for construction on this site which
fR
Windsong 4 June 20, 1986
feature both front and side loading garages allowing for the opportunity for shared
access points. The elevations which have been submitted depict three different
types of front elevations which will be used within each individual building cluster
to provide continuity to the site. Residential in style, each building contains
approximately 6,200 square feet, including garages, and measure approximately 30
feet in height and 90 feet in length. Within the buildings, two different unit
types are proposed. There is an "A" unit, which contains 886 square feet, and a "B"
unit, which contains 908 square feet. Total square footage on-site, including
garages, includes 111,038 square feet. Primary building materials includes four-
inch vinyl lap siding within a trim consisting of either cedar or redwood painted
finish.
Staff is recommending that, because of the three individual building clusters, there
be a color group selected for each which should add continuity to the group while
also allowing a variety within the project.
Utilities
Water and sanitary sewer service is available to the site. Connections for these
services will be to a 78-inch sanitary sewer line located within the center of the
property within a 50-foot easement. Sanitary sewer service will be placed within
each cul-de-sac and along the loop road system connecting to the existing 72-inch
sanitary sewer main located within the first cul-de-sac. Water service will be
provided from an existing eight-inch water line within Chestnut Drive and located
throughout the property.
Storm water drainage is provided from the site by a series of catch basins located
within the private cul-de-sacs, and a loop road with storm water being deposited
Into either the southern-most pond, located adjacent to Chestnut Drive, or to a
larger ponding area located adjacent to the floodplain.
Pedestrian System
Because Chestnut Drive is expected to be a proposed entrance to the Purgatory Creek
Recreational Area, the trail system within this area is important. The Community
Services Department is requiring a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk around the
outside of the loop road system. In addition, a 20-foot easement shall be provided
to the western property line to allow for a trail access from the Richard Miller
property. Also, the proponent will be required to build a five-foot wide concrete
sidewalk along the southern property line to the point where the property will be
dedicated. The Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission will review this
project and make recommendations to the City Council.
Preliminary Plat
The preliminary plat depicts the subdivision of this 40-acre tract into 20 lots and
six outlots. Outlets will include both the private cul-de-sacs and Outlot E
adjacent to the western property line, Outlot F which is primarily the floodplain
area proposed for dedication, and Outlot G located to north. Each of the buildings
have been platted as individual lots which is common to a condominium type
development. The preliminary plat meets all the requirements of the RM-6.5 zoning
district.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff would recommend approval of the request by the Koosman and Rice Company for
/619S:
6. Dedicate Outlot F to the City for future uses.
Windsong 5 June 20, 1986

outermost edge of the loop drive system with connections to the
south. Also revise the plans to reflect a five-foot concrete
sidewalk along the southern property line.
E. Provide plans for review by the Fire Marshal.
2. Prior to Final plat, proponent shall:
A. Submit detailed storm nzter run-off, erosion control, and utility
plans for review by the City Engineer.
B. Submit detailed storm water run-off and erosion control plans for
review by the Watershed District.
3. Prior to Building permit issuance, proponent shall:
A. Pay the appropriate Cash Park Fee.
B. Provide signage and lighting details, if any.
4. Prior to Grading permit issuance, proponent shall:
A. Notify the City and Watershed District at least 48 hours in advance
of grading.
B. Stake the construction limits with erosion control fencing.
5. Concurrent with building construction, proponent shall construct a five-foot
concrete sidewalk around the exterior of the circle or the loop road system
with a connection to a proposed five-foot concrete sidewalk along Chestnut
Drive which shall also be built.

Hallett asked about the price of the proposed units. Mr. Larry Rice,
proponent, stated that the units would be between $45-50,000. He stated
that the development would be marketed as individual units for sale, not
marketed as multi-unit structures, as had been proposed in previous plans.
Anderson asked if the private road system shown in the plans was wide enough
to handle school buses. Planner Enger responded that buses would be able to
use the looped street in the development, but would find it difficult to
negotiate the cul-de-sac.
Anderson noted that the ponds were the main amenities of the development and
asked how the proponents would maintain the ponds in order to prevent them
from drying up, or becoming stagnant. Mr. Koosman stated that, if
necessary, they would consider using fountains in the ponds in order to see
that they were maintained properly.
Chairman Schuck asked for comments and questions from members of the
audience. There were none.

Dear Mr. Uram:
As a property owner and future resident of Sheldon Avenue, I would
like to relate my concerns about the proposed guide plan variance
request for the area east of County Road 4 and N.a. of Wagner 4ay, Eden Prairie, Minnesota (proposed retail strip mall by Mr. Ronald
Christianson).
I believe this proposed retail occupancy will result in serious
traffic congestion at the intersection of dagner Way and County
Road 4 (due to close proximity with the highway 5/county road 4 intersection and the Prairie Village Mall traffic egress. I
believe this will result in unintended heavy use of Sheldon Avenue
for retail/commercial truck traffic to avoid the congested
intersection. Since Sheldon Avenue is being occupied primarily
by young families, the diverted traffic would be a major blunder.
In addition, I believe the rear of the building should be set
considerably more than 20 feet from the common property line to
allow for minimum restriction of available sunlight necessary
for trees and shrubs used to screen the buildinr and provide
minimal disruption of sunlight to the residential lots on the north.
Noise and visual affects from all the roof heating/coolinE units
(relative to the eight "walk out" home lots which are adjacent to
the property on the north) and roof drainage and run off are also
my concerns.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mike Franzen. City of Eden Prairie
FROM: Michael L. Wonsan and James A. BenshooNt6
RE: Traffic Study at T.H. 5/C.S.A.H. 4 in conjunction
with the Proposed Minnetonka State Bank and Prairie
Courts Shopping Center
PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
The purpose of this memorandum is to document the analysis
and findings of our traffic study of the Intersection of the
T.H. 5 and C.S.A.H. 4 in conjunction with proposed develop-
ment by the Minnetonka State Bank and Prairie Courts Shop-
ping Center. As we understand it, the proposed development
Is located on either side of Wagner Way east of C.S.A.H. 4
as presented on Figure I. The Prairie Courts Shopping
Center would consist of 34,000 gross square feet of neigh-
borhood retail services, while the Minnetonka State Bank
would consist of 5,000 sq. ft. of office and 5,000 sq. ft.
of bank with 5 drive-up tellers as Phase I and an additional
24,200 sq. ft. of office as Phase II.
The principal Issues analyzed in our study Include: the
current levels of service of traffic operations at T.H. 5
and C.S.A.H. 4, a comparison of the trip generation charac-
teristics of the current proposals with the previous planned
unit development, Impacts of the development on traffic
operations at T.H.5/C.S.A.H. 4 and C.S.A.H. 4/Wagner Way
prior to Intersection Improvements proposed by Hennepin
County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation in
1988, impacts of development traffic on Sheldon Ave. north
of Wagner Way, and identification of candidate temporary
improvements to assist area traffic flow prior to the 1988
improvements.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
At the Intersection of T.H. 5/C.S.A.H. 4, T.H. 5 currently
consists of a left turn lane, one through lane, and a right
turn lane with an Island on both the east and west
approaches. C.S.A.H. 4, north of the Intersection, is a
four lane roadway with Wagner Way aligned directly opposite

the entrance to Prairie Village Mail, approximately 380 feet
north of the Intersection. While Wagner Way is a 32 foot
wide City street, the entrance to the mall is a private
drive, 20 feet wide at its narrowest point. Directly south
of T.H. 5, C.S.A.H. 4 Is four lanes wide tapering quickly to
two lanes south of Terrey Pine Drive, which Is located
approximately 420 feet south of T.H. 5.
In order to assess existing traffic operations, turn move-
ment counts and observations were performed at the Inter-
sections of C.S.A.H. 4 with T.H. 5 and Wagner Way on Friday,
June 13, 1986 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Figure 2 presents the
PM Peak Hour traffic counts (4:30 - 5:30). The PM Peak Hour
is that hour with the highest total traffic volumes and Is
the time during which traffic Impacts of the proposed devel-
opment would be the greatest. As can be noted from Fig. 2,
the highest volumes are westbound through traffic on T.H. 5;
the north and south approaches oF C.S.A.H. 4 carry 552
vehicles and 496 vehicles, respectively. At the inter-
section of C.S.A.H. 4 and Wagner Way, the highest volume Is
the northbound through traffic, with substantial left turns
into the Mall from the south as well as substantial exiting
traffic from the Mall. The current traffic volumes at this
Intersection are sufficiently high so as to warrant signal-
ization of this Intersection based on peak hour traffic
signal warrants.
Observations of traffic flow indicate:
• T.H. 5 operates effectively, principally as a result of
the green time allocated to westbound through movements
(up to 135 seconds). It was observed that all vehicles
queued on the east approach cleared the intersection
and occasional "excess" green time occurred with mini-
mal through traffic approaching the intersection.
• On both the north and south approaches of C.S.A.H. 4 to
T.H. 5, the inside lane operated almost exclusively as
a left turn lane, with through and right turn traffic
utilizing the outside lane. Significant difficulties
occurred for left turning vehicles principally as a
result of the high volumes of opposing through traffic.
• The south approach to T.H. 5 consistently queued beyond
Terrey Pine Drive.
• Approximately 201. of the time, the queue on the north
approach extended to the Wagner Way intersection.
• Turn and through movements on C.S.A.H. 4 at Wagner Way
operated effectively.

occurred as a result of the volumes on C.S.A.H. 4.
queuing characteristics on C.S.A.H. 4, and the width of
the access point which precludes right turning vehicles
from bypassing left turning vehicles.
As a result of the above delays for exiting vehicles.
approximately 50% of the vehicles exiting the Mall to
go north utilized the secondary access located north of
Wagner Way.
TRAFFIC FORECASTS
Trip generation rates utilized for a comparison of the trip
characteristics of the proposed changes to the existing
P.U.D. and for analysis of development impacts were
established from data published by the Institute of Trans-
portation Engineers (ITE), 1983 and from surveys of similar
land uses in the Metropolitan area. For the single family,
elderly residential, office, fast food, and shopping center
components of the Gonyea P.U.D., trip generation rates
published by the ITE were utilized. For the apartment
units, rates established in surveys of Twin Cities apart-
ments prepared by BRW, Inc. and Benshoof it Associates, Inc.
were utilized.
Trip generation rates for the proposed bank were established
from a variety of sources, Including data published by ITE and surveys performed by Benshoof II Associates, Inc. at the
existing Minnetonka State Bank in Excelsior and other banks
In the Metropolitan area. Through discussions with
officials of both the proposed bank and other area banks, ft
is estimated that a full client base for a new bank facility
is created in approximately five years. Further, the number
of drive-up tellers does not initially affect trip genera-
tion, but rather becomes a factor only as the client base is
fully established. Surveys by Benshoof & Associates, Inc.
indicate that the trip generation of banks with a fully
developed client base are approximately 1007. higher than
rates published by the 1TE for "fully developed" banks. For
the purposes of this analysis, trip generation rates util-
ized for the Minnetonka State Bank prior to the 1988 roadway
improvements are those published by the 1TE, thus accounting
for lower trip generation during the first two years of the
facility. Upon full development of the bank's client base
(after 1988), trip generation is expected to be comparable
to that surveyed by Benshoof & Associates. Inc.

The following points can be noted from Tables 1 and 2:
• The single family component (A) remains identical to
the original proposal.
The currently approved elderly/apartment complex (B)
generates more traffic on both a daily and PM Peak Hour
basis than the original proposal.
• The shopping center (C) generates more than twice the
traffic of the original P.U.D.
• The bank proposal (CI) generates less traffic during
Phase 1 that the approved fast food restaurants. Upon
full development of the bank/office proposal, PM Peak
Hour generation Is expected to be higher than the
original P.U.D., but daily traffic is expected to be
less than one half of that associated with the fast
food development.
The current proposal, upon full development, generates
less daily traffic but more PM Peak Hour trips than the
original P.U.D.
Figure 3 presents the expected distribution of trips to/from
the shopping center and bank/office proposals. This distri-
bution was based upon previous traffic studies in the area
and the traffic counts/observations taken on June 13, 1986.
As can be noted, the distribution accounts for vehicles
which approach from the east, but exit to the north or west,
a phenomenon which Is currently occurring with the Prairie
Village Mall.

Mr. Mike Franzen -9- July 3, 1986
Based upon the expected trip generation and distribution,
development traffic was assigned to the roadway system via
the most direct convenient route. Assignments were made for
both 1) the approved unconstructed development (approxi-
mately one half of the single family units and the elderly/
apartment complex) to account for "base" traffic conditions
and 2) the proposed bank and shopping center developments.
The gross trip generation was reduced by 10% to account for
multi-purpose trips (for example between the bank and shop-
ping center) and intercepted trips (vehicles currently on
the roadway system which would stop at the proposed devel-
opments). The assignment of trips via Sheldon Ave. was
based upon the assumption that the intersection of C.S.A.H.
4 and Wagner Way would operate without significant conges-
tion (as a result of candidate Improvements discussed later
in this report) and upon the distance from specific devel-
opment access points to destinations. For example, all
trips to/from the north on C.S.A.H. 4 associated with the
apartment complex were assigned via Sheldon Ave., while none
of the bank trips were so assigned given the significant
additional travel distance for bank trips using such a
route. A portion of the shopping center trips were assigned
via Sheldon Ave. given the proximity of a portion of the
center and its access points to Sheldon Ave.
Figure 4 presents the PM Peak Hour traffic assignments for
the remaining components of the Gonyea P.U.D. with the
exception of Phase II of the bank/office proposal. Figure 5
presents the PM Peak Hour traffic volumes upon development
of Phase I of the P.U.D. (sum of existing traffic, approved
development, shopping center, and Phase I of the bank/office
proposal) prior to the proposed 1988 MnDOT and County
improvements.
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
Intersection of T.H. 5 and C.S.A.H. 4
The initial step in the traffic analysis is to determine the
level of service at the Intersection of T.H. 5/C.S.A.H. 4
and to identify appropriate candidate solutions to Improve
traffic operations as necessary. Level of service is a
criteria of Intersection operation based on the ratio of the
volume of traffic utilizing an intersection to the capacity
of that intersection. Levels of service range from A to F,
with A being a condition In which no significant delays or
congestion occur, while F is a condition in which volume
exceeds capacity resulting in congestion and delay.

Mr. Mike Franzen -12- July 3, 1986
Traffic signal operation is comprised of three principal
components:
• Cycle - the cycle Is essentially the total time allowed
for all turn movements to complete their maneuver, In other
words the total time allocated from the moment the signal
turns green on. for example, the east approach, through the
stop (red) condition, to the moment the signal again turns
green for the east approach. The current cycle at T.H. 5/
C.S.A.H. 4 Is approximately 200 seconds, resulting In 18
cycles per hour during the p.m. peak hour.
• Timing - the timing of a signal Is essentially the
amount of green time allocated for each movement. The
existing timing consists of approximately 0-30 seconds for
the left turns on T.H. 5 (dependent upon the actual left
turn volume during a given cycle), 105-135 seconds for
through movements on T.H. 5, 55 seconds for the movements on
C.S.A.H. 4, and 10 seconds for yellow or all red timing.
. Phasing - The phasing of a signal is essentially the
order in which movements occur. The current phasing allows
left turns from T.H. 5, through movements on T.H. 5, and
both the north and south approaches on C.S.A.H. 4 to operate
at the same time.
Figure 6A presents the levels of service at T.H. 5 and
C.S.A.H. 4 for the Intersection as it Is currently designed
and operates. This figure presents levels of service for
the existing traffic and approved development in the Gonyea
PUD and for conditions upon full development of Phase 1 of
the Gonyea PUD statement. The levels of service for
existing traffic are identical to those shown for the
approved development scenario. As can be noted, under the
approved developments scenario. T.H. 5 operates effectively,
the through movements on C.S.A.H. 4 operate at an acceptable
level of service D, but the left turns from C.S.A.H. 4
operate at a level of service F. This level of service F is
consistent with observations of the operation of the inter-
section and Indicates that the number of left turning
vehicles exceeds the capacity of those movements. The
capacity of those movements is principally affected by the
significant opposing through volume which limits opportunity
to perform the left turn maneuvers. The addition of traffic
associated with the shopping center and Phase 1 of the bank
proposal (full development) would further exacerbate diffi-
culties with the left turns and result in levels of service
F and E for through movements on the north and south
approaches of C.S.A.H. 4, respectively. This analysis
indicates that the addition of traffic associated with the
proposals could cause significant deterioration in traffic
operation through the intersection unless improvements are
are implemented.

SPLIT PHASE INTERSECTION
WITH REVISED SIGNAL TIMING
T.H. 5
C or- A
Mr. Mike Franzen -14- July 3, 1986
Three candidate solutions to Improve Intersection operation
have been identified;
• Split Phasing on C.S.A.H. 4 - This technique would
change the signal phasing to allow one approach, for example
the north approach, to proceed while the south approach were
stopped. The north approach would then stop and the south
approach proceed. Under similar circumstances, this split
phase approach has generally Improved intersection opera-
tion and also has achieved two other benefits: 1)less
driver frustration and 2) fewer potentially hazardous
maneuvers for left turning vehicles as there would be no
opposing traffic. This technique would also allow through
movements to utilize the Inside lane, thus better balancing
the volumes in each approach lane.
• Construction of Right Turn Lanes on C.S.A.H. 4 - This
technique would remove the right turning vehicles which
currently share the outside lane with through traffic, thus
lowering the volume of traffic using the through lanes. The
construction of right turn lanes would entail up to 18 feet
of additional pavement on the south approach from T.H. 5 to
Terrey Pine Drive. This improvement would result In both a
right turn lane and two full approach lanes to T.H. 5 (the
current roadway tapers to only one lane at Terrey Pine
Drive). On the north approach, additional pavement width
would vary from 6-9 feet between Wagner Way and T.H. 5 and
might require drainage Improvements associated with the
current ditch section along the western edge of the roadway.
This study has not analyzed the engineering ramifications or
financial feasibility of these improvements.
• Additional green time for C.S.A.H. 4 - This would
entail allocating additional green time for C.S.A.H. 4
movements by removing some of the existing green time
allocated to T.H. 5. This would appear to be a feasible
alternative In light of the existing levels of service for
T.H. 5; however, given the function of T.H. 5, it is
necessary to maintain viable traffic flow and levels of
service for this arterial.
These candidate solutions were tested to determine their
effectiveness in accommodating development traffic at the
T.H. 5/C.S.A.H. 4 intersection within acceptable levels of
service.
By altering the signal control to allow split phase
movements on C.S.A.H. 4, but retaining the existing timing
and geometrics, the south approach would operate at a level
of service E with the addition of traffic associated with
the shopping center and Phase 1 of the bank/office proposal.
However, the north approach would operate at a level of
service F, indicating that spilt phase operation by itself
Is insufficient to accommodate the proposed development.
;,7
Mr. Mike Franzen -15- July 3, 1986
With a combination of split phase operation with existing
timing and construction of right turn lanes on C.S.A.H. 4,
the levels of service with the addition of the development
traffic would be D and F on the south and north approaches,
respectively. This would again Indicate that these two
Improvements would be insufficient to accommodate develop-
ment traffic within acceptable levels of service.
Figure 68 presents the levels of service upon full develop-
ment of Phase I with a split phase operation in which 10
seconds of green time were removed from the through move-
ments on T.H. 5 and allocated to the north approach of
C.S.A.H. 4. This scenario does not include construction of
right turn lanes on C.S.A.H. 4, but would entail construc-
tion of two full approach lanes from Terrey Pine Drive to
T.H. 5. As can be noted from Figure 68, the level of
service on C.S.A.H. 4 would be D and E for the north and
south approaches, respectively, while still maintaining
levels of service A or C on T.H. 5. These overall levels of
service are acceptable for intersection operation and
represent an improvement over the existing situation. Thus,
the analysis indicates that revisions to the intersection
signal control could result in sufficiently improved traffic
operation so as to allow development of the proposals prior
to 1988. If right turn lanes were constructed on C.S.A.H.
4, Intersection operations would be further improved with
levels of service C and D on the north and south approaches
respectively.
The analysis of the Intersection indicates that, If signal
timing and phasing revisions were made, the intersection
would operate at better levels of service than currently
exist even with the addition of traffic associated with the
proposed developments. The Intersection operation would
further Improve with the construction of right turn lanes on
C.S.A.H. 4. Any revisions to signal operations at this
intersection or roadway construction would require approval
of the Minnesota Department of Transportation and Hennepin
County.
Intersection of C.S.A.H. 4 end Wagner Way
As previously noted, with the exception of vehicles exiting
Prairie Village Mall, this Intersection currently operates
effectively. Vehicles exiting the Mall currently experience
difficulty as a result of three factors:
felI)
Mr. Mike Franzen -16- July 3, 1986
. Volumes on C.S.A.H. 4
• The queue of southbound vehicles on C.S.A.H. 4 which
occasionally extends from T.H. 5 to a point north of
the exit.
• The access point is only one lane wide requiring both
left and right turning vehicles to occupy the same
lane.
The east approach of Wagner Way Is a 32 foot wide roadway, a width which Is Insufficient to ensure that right turning
vehicles can bypass left turning vehicles. It is recom-
mended that a right turn lane be installed on the east
approach of Wagner Way in conjunction with the proposed
developments. Figure 7 presents a conceptual layout for
this Improvement. This improvement will not only improve
operations for exiting vehicles, but will also ensure that
right turns to travel north on C.S.A.H. 4 can be made
easily. This ease of movement will further serve to Induce
northbound traffic to utilize Wagner Way as opposed to using
Sheldon Avenue to the north.
The recommended revisions to the intersection of T.H. 5 and C.S.A.H. 4 are expected to Improve operations at the Wagner
Way intersection through reducing the queue for southbound
vehicles and the frequency with which this queue extends to
Wagner Way. Table 3 presents the analysis of these queuing
characteristics.

WAY IMPROVEMENTS
-17-
Mr. Mike Franzen -18- July 3, 1986
As can be noted from Table 2. the Improvements serve to
reduce the queue length despite the additional traffic
associated with the shopping center and bank. The greatest
reduction results from the combination of signal revisions
and construction of right turn lanes; however, signal
revision alone will result In improvements over existing
conditions. The reduction In queue length will improve
operation at this intersection by decreasing delays.
Figure 8 presents the levels of service for turn movements
at Wagner Way and C.S.A.H. 4 prior to 1988. These levels of
service assume the signal revisions at T.H. 5 and the
construction of a right turn lane on the east approach of
Wagner Way. As can be noted, the exiting traffic from
Prairie Village Mall will continue to operate at a level of
service F. The left turns from the east approach of Wagner
Way would also operate at a level of service F upon full
occupancy of Phase 1 of the shopping center and bank propo-
sals. Given the improved operation which would occur as a
result of the reduction in queuing on C.S.A.H. 4 at this
location, it Is expected that no significant change In the
operation of this intersection, as compared to the existing
situation, would be apparent with the Introduction of addi-
tional traffic on the east leg of the Intersection. This
level of service F would also be for a short period of time,
probably less than one year from the time full occupancy of
the proposals occurs until the 1988 proposed improvements
are constructed. Therefore,in our opinion, this would be an
acceptable situation. As noted, this intersection currently
warrants sIgnallzation. It Is recommended that provisions
be made to signalize this location In conjunction with the
1988 improvements. It would be desirable to widen the
Prairie Village Mall driveway in conjunction with this
signalization.
As noted In the discussion of the traffic assignment, some
use of Sheldon Ave. by trips to/from the north on C.S.A.H. 4
is expected for apartment and shopping center traffic, given
the location of the access to these developments. The pro-
vision of a right turn lane on Wagner Way is expected to
eliminate usage of Sheldon Ave. by bank traffic and traffic
to the greater portion of the shopping center. It is not
anticipated that a significant number of vehicles destined
to the south on C.S.A.H. 4 will use Sheldon Ave. despite the
level of service for left turning vehicles on Wagner Way.
While some delay will be experienced at Wagner Way, the
significant distance traveled to utilize Sheldon Ave. Is not
expected to result In a savings in travel time. For
example, the distance from the bank/shopping center access
point to the Intersection of Wagner Way and C.S.A.H. 4 Is

The additional traffic associated with the shopping center

CONCLUSIONS
This study has analyzed the traffic Impacts on the public
roadway system of the Prairie Courts Shopping Center and
Minnetonka State Bank proposals. The principal conclusions
of the analysis are:
• The shopping center will generate more traffic on both
a daily and PM Peak Hour basis than the previously
approved development for the site.
• The bank/office proposal upon completion of Phase 11
will generate less daily traffic, but more PM Peak Hour
traffic than the previously approved development for
the site.
• The intersection of T.H. 5 and C.S.A.H. 4 currently
experiences congestion and delays for vehicles turning
left from C.S.A.H. 4 onto T.H. 5.
The west leg of the intersection of C.S.A.H. 4 and
Wagner Way (Prairie Village Mali access) currently
experiences congestion and delay as a result of the
design of the access point, volumes on C.5.A.H. 4, and
queuing of southbound vehicles on C.S.A.H. 4.
Mr. Mike Franzen -21- July 3, 1986
• The additional traffic associated with the proposed
development will reduce the levels of service for
traffic operation at C.S.A.H. 4/1.11. 5 and exacerbate
delay and congestion at Wagner Way unless Improvements
are Instituted.
• With temporary Improvements, prior to roadway improve-
ments proposed by MnDOT and Hennepin County in 1988,
the intersection of T.H. 5/C.S.A.H. 4 can accommodate
development traffic at levels of service which are
better than currently exist. These improvements will
result In acceptable traffic operations at Wagner Way,
comparable to the current conditions, for the short
period prior to completion of the permanent roadway
Improvements in 1988.
• The preferred Improvements, which are dependent upon
funding sources and financial/engineering feasibilit
y
,
consist of split phase signal control at T.H. 5 and
C.S.A.H. 4, additional green time allocated to the
north approach, and construction of right turn lanes
o
n
both C.S.A.H. 4 approaches.
• The minimum Improvements necessary to accommodate
development traffic consist of spilt phase signal
control, additional green time for the north approach
,
and construction of two full approach lanes on C.S.A.
H
.
4 from Terrey Pine Drive to T.H. 5.
• These improvements will require approval by the Minne
-
sota Dept. of Transportation and Hennepin County.
• A right turn lane should be constructed on the east
approach of Wagner Way to improve traffic operations
and reduce the potential for usage of Sheldon Ave.
• Provisions should be made to provide traffic signal
control at C.S.A.H. 4/Wagner Way in conjunction with
the 1988 improvements. Redesign of the Prairie Villag
e
Mall access point should be consistent with signal
installation.
Development traffic Is not expected to create signif-
icant traffic impacts on Sheldon Ave. If the recom-
mended temporary improvements and right turn lane on
Wagner Way are Installed.

Background
This project was last reviewed at
the May 9, 1986, meeting. The
public hearing on that item was
closed and the development plans
were returned to the proponent for
revisions and additional
information. Issues raised at that
meeting included: providing a canopy
over the sidewalk, providing a
better transition to the single
family homes to the north, providing
a better screening of parking areas,
and traffic impacts.
Canopy Over S;dewalk
The previous Staff Report had

AREA LOCATION MAO,
nz)
Prairie Courts 2 June 20, 1986
indicated a requirement for an eight-foot wide canopy over the entire length of the
sidewalk on the front side elevation of the building as a convenience to shoppers to
provide relief from sun, rain, and snow. The architectural plans have been revised
to provide an eight-foot wide continuous canopy across the entire front of the
building.
Transition to the Single Family Area to the North
The landscape plan has been revised in accordance with previous recommendations for
additional and larger plant materials. The conifer tree sizes have been increased
to eight to ten feet in height and the deciduous trees have been increased to four
to six-inch caliper.
Better Screening of Parking Areas
Additional coniferous trees have been planted around the perimeter of the site and
the berms raised to the maximum height possible within the setback areas. This will
provide a better screening of the parking area than the previous plan.
Traffic
In order for the developer to proceed with the construction of this project prior to
the upgrading of the County Road Highway #5 intersection, a traffic study was to be
completed which would ascertain the traffic impacts and provide recommendations, if
any, that would keep the intersection operating at the current level of service.
The developer wishes to proceed with an approval of the project being contingent
upon the final upgrading of the intersection by the County and State expected within
2 years. The project could not be built until the intersection improvement was
underway and not be opened until the road improvements were complete. Previous
traffic analysis of the project shows that the improved intersection will handle the
traffic very well.
Site Plan Revisions
The County has reviewed this project and recommends that additional right-of-way be
provided where shown on Attachment A. In order to meet the parking setbacks per
Code of 35 feet from County Road #4, the parking lot must be redesigned and shifted
to the east. Moving the interior parking spaces to the east will result in the loss
of two parking spaces. This means that the total parking provided would be 189 or a
ratio of 5.9 spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area. Although the ratio is
somewhat less than the 5.99 spaces per 1,000 on the previous plan, it is consistent
with other retail centers approved in the community at a similar size and mixture of
uses. The variance on the number of parking spaces can be granted as part of the
Planned Unit Development (PUD) District Review.
Architectural Revisions
In addition to the revision of the canopy across the front elevation of the
building, the building materials on the rear side elevation have been changed to
primarily stucco. Stucco can be used as an accent material not to exceed 25% of the
wall of the building. The rear side elevation should be modified to reflect a
minimum of 75% face brick.
Mechanical equipment screening has been improved by providing parapet wall

the screening proposed on the previous plan.

Background
The Comprehensive Guide Plan cur-
rently depicts this site as an
Office land use. Surrounding land
uses are Low Density Residential to
the north, Medium Density Res-
idential to the east, Community
Commercial to the south, and
Community Commercial to the west.
This site was previously planned for
office use as part of the 1979
Gonyea Planned Unit Development
(PUD) and the 1984 Gonyea PUD
Amendment. The concept plan de-
picted a total building square
footage of 36,000 square feet
contained in two buildings. Attach-
ment A depicts the 1984 Gonyea PUD.
Prairie Courts 2 May 9, 1986
Site Plan
The site plan involves the construction of a one-story, 34,080 square foot, retail
strip mall on 3.7 acres at a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.21. Neighborhood zoning
would allow a 0.2 FAR maximum. This will require a variance from the Board of
Appeals. Initially, the building was proposed at a 0.2 FAR, but there was a service
lane around the back of the building. In order to provide green area for transition
and plantings, a 2,000 square foot enclosed service area was added to the back of
the building.
Building and parking areas meet the minimum setback requirements for Neighborhood
Commercial zoning.
A total of 191 parking spaces, including actual and proof-of-parking are provided at
a ratio of 5.99 spaces per 1,000 square feet of Gross Floor Area (GFA). The actual
parking provided is 187 at a ratio of 5.73 spaces per 1,000. Parking requirements
for commercial uses are eight spaces per 1,000. This will require a variance from
the Board of Appeals. The ratio of 5.99 spaces per 1,000 is consistent with other
retail centers approved in the community at a similar size and mixture of uses.
Three access points are provided to this site, all of which are off Wagner Way. The
western entrance is 220 feet back from County Road #4 which should provide fo
r
adequate stacking distance. The center access aligns opposite the entrance into th
e
multiple family housing site to the south.
Architecture
A one-story, 16-foot high building is proposed. There is a four-foot high parape
t
wall across the front and side elevations of the building and an eight-foot parape
t
wall along the rear side of the building. The parapet wall is included for tw
o
purposes: one, to screen rooftop mechanical units, and two, to provide a clea
n
residential look across the back of the building facing the adjoining single family
homes.
The primary building material is proposed to be facebrick, and wood would be
utilized as an accent material over the entrances. Examples of exterior building
materials must be submitted for review prior to building permit issuance.
There are four main entrances to the strip mall with five tenants off each enclosed
court. The court area will be covered with a translucent metal canopy to allow for
interior light. As with other strip malls within the community, canopies have been
required over the walkways as a convenience to shoppers in order to provide relief
from sun, rain, and snow. The enclosed courtyard concept only partially addresses
this need. An eight-foot canopy should be constructed across the entire front
length of the building.
The building is designed with a service entrance off the east and west elevations of
the building. This project is different as compared to other strip malls in that
there is no outside loading area across the back of the building. The back of the
buildings would be serviced through an enclosed service corridor. Confining the
service entrances to the ends of the building, provides for 20 feet of green area
behind the building which helps provide transition to the adjoining single family
homes.
Prairie Courts 3 May 9, 1986
Landscaping
The landscape plan provides a total of 349 caliper inches. The Code requirement is
107 inches. The additional caliper inches are required for screening of the parking
areas along Wagner Way and County Road #4 and to provide an appropriate visual
transition to the adjacent single family homes to the north.
Due to the 171/2-foot setback along Wagner Way, berming alone cannot be constructed
high enough to effectively screen the parking area; therefore, screening must rely
on plant materials alone. The planting plan is not effective enough to provide for
an appropriate level of screening and would benefit from additional coniferous
plantings along Wagner Way.
Since County Road #4 is at a higher elevation than the adjoining property, it will
not be possible to construct a berm high enough to screen the parking areas. Along
Wagner Way, additional coniferous plantings will be necessary to provide for
effective screening.
Transition to the single family homes to the north is provided through berming and
landscaping. No service doors or mechanical units will be visible from the rear of
the building since mechanical units are screened with a parapet wall and the service
entrances are on the side of the building. The view of the rear of the building
would be a brick wall with varying heights and sloped roof elements which helps
create a residential look. The use of landscaping and sloping of the ground up on
the rear wall to soften the view of the building and reduce the overall length. The
number of plant materials proposed is adequate; however, the sizes are small and
should be increased. The minimum conifer size should be a mixture of eight and ten-
foot heights. The minimum deciduous size should be a mixture of four to six-inch
caliper.
Grading and Utilities
This site has previously been rough graded with the approval of the PUD Concept and
platting in 1984. Grading of the property at this time will prepare the site for a
building pad and the parking area.
Sewer and water service is available to this site by connection to existing sewer
and water lines in Wagner Way.
Storm water run-off is proposed to sheet drain across the parking areas into catch
basins. From these collection points, water will drain through underground storm
water run-off types to an existing storm sewer system in Wagner Way which has an
ultimate discharge into the pond adjacent to Highway #5.
Sidewalks
Since this site is proposed as a neighborhood commercial center, providing a range
of goods and services for the immediate adjacent residential areas, there should be
a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk constructed along the north side of Wagner Way
from County Road #4 up to Sheldon Avenue. In addition, there should be appropriate
on-site connections between this sidewalk and the buildings, and a connection
between buildings and the trail along County Road #4.
Traffic
Total traffic expected to be generated from a commercial project of this size would
be a total of 88 P.M. peak hour trips. This would compare to a total of 69 P.M.
peak hour trips for the site based on 36,000 square feet of office. This is a 10%
,,:a
Prairie Courts 4 May 9, 1986
increase in traffic over the approved concept plan. The critical turning movement
would be the left turn from this site onto southbound County Road #4. Because of
the heavy traffic volumes in a north/south direction on County Road #4, the traffic
situation may be more of an inconvenience for people trying to leave the commercial
site as opposed to a traffic safety problem at the intersection of Wagner Way and
County Road #4. It is therefore important to have an adequate stacking distance
back from the intersection of Wagner Way and County Road #4 to the closest driveway
entrance. A total distance of 220 feet is provided, which should be adequate.
A 1979 traffic study, prepared for the Gonyea PUD, indicated that the total P.M.
peak hour traffic was a total of 311 trips. At that time, the level of service at
the intersection of County Road #4 and Highway #5 was a D+ condition. Since 1979,
through traffic has increased, land uses have changed, and additional uses built.
This suggests that the current level of service may be different. In order for the
project to proceed prior to the County Road #4 and Highway #5 intersection upgrading
in 1988, the proponents should provide a traffic study indicating the current level
of service of the intersection and what affect this project would have on it. This
should be submitted prior to Council review.
Attachment B indicates trip generation estimates for the proposed Gonyea PUD as of
May 1986. It is important to note, where underlined, that a drive-in bank is
included and would replace the two commercial fast-food restaurants on the south
side of Wagner Way. Though this is not part of the current request, Staff has been
talking to developers about a bank and office complex on the two fast-food
restaurant sites which would include 6,000 square feet of bank and 30,000 square
feet of office. Commission should see a specific rezoning request for the bank in
the near future. It is important to note that the P.M. peak hour traffic for the
bank generates 315 P.M. peak hour trips which is a 57% increase over the current
approved PUD plan. It will be necessary that the proponents for the bank provide a
detailed traffic study indicating how the bank facility can work in conjunction with
the existing road system.
Signage
Signage is a critical element on any strip mall. Because of the length of the
building, it is important that the signage be located in a consistent area across
the building. It is also important that the lettering be of a consistent size and
style. Prior to Council review, the proponent should submit an overall signage plan
with details for review.
Lighting
Since this site is immediately adjacent to the single family homes, it is important
that glare from lighting be minimized. Any lighting proposed on the back of the
building should be minimal and downcast cut-off luminars. Lighting throughout the
parking lot should be a maximum of 20 feet high and also be downcast cut-off
luminars.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff would recommend approval of the request for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change
from Office to Commercial, Planned Unit Development Amendment from Office to
Commercial, a Rezoning from Rural to Neighborhood Commercial, and a Preliminary Plat
based on plans dated May 9, 1986, subject to the recommendations contained in the
Prairie Courts

Mr. John Uban, representing proponents, reviewed the plans presented to the
Iz
Planning Commission Minutes 4 June 23, 1986
Commission at a previous meeting. He noted that changes had been made in
accordance with the recommendations of the Commission made at that time. He
stated that the sidewalks were linked to the City's trail system. Mr. Uban
stated that proponents would prefer not to have a sidewalk located at the
south perimeter of the site, but rather, have sidewalk located along the
store fronts. He added that proponents were willing to work with Staff in
order to solve the internal circulation problems on the property.
With respect to traffic, Mr. Uban stated that the development of this
portion of the overall Gonyea 4th Addition Planned Unit Development would
not increase the burden of traffic anticipated at this site based on the
1980 PUD approved land uses.
Mr. Gary Vogel, architect for proponents, reviewed revisions to the
architecture made since the last review of this development by the
Commission. He also reviewed the exterior materials to be used on the
structures.
Planner Franzen presented the findings and recommendations of the Staff
Report of June 20, 1986, to the Commission, noting that the major concern of
Staff was traffic at the intersection of County Road #4 and Highway #5. He
stated that the letter received from the proponents at the meeting this
evening was requesting approval to proceed with the development, pending
receipt of traffic information from the City's consultant. Various
alternatives of the traffic study were discussed, including split phasing of
the lights at the intersection and the addition of right-turn lanes.
Ruebling asked if these recommendations were to be implemented by the
County, or State, at this time. Planner Franzen responded that this had
been discussed with the County and State transportation offices and that the
response of both agencies was that they were not willing to participate in
"wholesale changes" at this time, considering the upgrading of the
intersection was to take place in 1988. Planner Franzen stated that the
County had mentioned a willingness to consider arguments for the split
phasing of the lights at the intersection.
Hallett stated that it had always been his understanding that there would be
no further development of the property at this intersection until the
intersection was upgraded.
Planner Enger stated that proponents were asking for elimination of the
condition regarding no development until the upgrading of the intersection _
took place. He stated that the proponents were willing to accept the
results of the traffic study underway at this time, but were asking that
they be allowed to develop if it could be shown that traffic would not be
significantly impacted by the development.
Dodge asked how long it would be before the intersection improvements were
installed. Planner Enger responded that it could be two, or more, years.
Hallett stated that he felt the amendments to the site plan and
architectural features of the development were positive; however, he was
concerned about the impact of traffic on the intersection of County Road #4
and Highway #5. He added that he did not feel that making temporary
/1)0
Planning Commission Minutes 5 June 23, 1986
Improvements to the intersection, such as split phasing of the lights, was
an adequate answer to the traffic problems at the intersection. Hallett
expressed concern that proceeding with interim improvements may forestall
final upgrading of the intersection beyond 1988.
Hallett stated that this was a situation that all parties were aware of from
the first proposal for development of the property ,n 1980 and that he felt
strongly that the improvements should be completed before further
development was allowed.
Anderson asked about the concerns of the residents along Sheldon Avenue with
respect to the introduction of traffic into their neighborhood from this
proposed commercial development. Planner Enger responded that the traffic
consultants for the City were considering this situation as part of their
study, also. He noted that the interim improvements may create a worse
condition than would take place upon completion of all improvements to the
intersection.
Bye stated that she was uncomfortable with the traffic conditions as
proposed. She stated that she was reluctant to proceed with a
recommendation on the proposed development without the information from the
traffic study. Chairman Schuck concurred.
Anderson stated that he felt no development should take place until the
intersection was improved.
Dodge expressed concern that the interim improvements may displace, or
delay, final improvements to the intersection.
Mr. Uban stated that proponents were looking for approval of the site plan,
only, at this time, with the understanding that actual development would be
dependent upon the results of the traffic study. He asked if the issues,
other than traffic, could be approved at this time and asked for the City's
help in expediting the improvement to the intersection of County Road #4 and
Highway #5.
Chairman Schuck stated that he felt the site plan was well designed and that
proponents had incorporated the concerns of the Commission in their redesign
of the project. Bye concurred, stating that the City should contact the
legislature with respect to funding priorities for this intersection
improvement.
Ruebling stated that he concurred with Anderson's earlier stated concern
with respect to traffic impact upon Sheldon Avenue residents. He stated
that he felt it was unacceptable that the residents along Sheldon Avenue be
placed in a position where traffic would be worse for them with interim
improvements to the intersection. Anderson and Dodge concurred.
Dodge asked about the type of office uses proposed for the development. Mr.
Uban responded that the office users would be of a "soft neighborhood
office" type, and may include insurance sales, realtors, barber shops, etc.

Re: Snow Fence Easement Removal
Dear Mr. Dietz:
Per my discussion with yourself and Richard Rosow, I
am by this letter requesting you to sign the attached letter
indicating that you will recommend approval of the vacation of a
snow fence easement in respect to the land (the "Lee Data
property") legally described as follows:
Lot 1, Block 1, and Outlot A, LEE DATA, according to
the plat thereof on file and of record in the Office
of the Registrar of Titles in and for Hennepin County,
Minnesota.
A copy of that plat is enclosed for your information.
My request is necessitated by the fact that a company
I am representing (Byte Investment Partnership I, a Minnesota
general partnership) is selling the Lee Data property to Lee Data
Corporation, and such purchaser has objected to the existence of
snow fence easements created by Hennepin County Documents Nos.
1342921 and 1345789 (see redlined copies thereof attached to the
enclosed letter.)
It is our belief that those snow fence easements
should run parallel to Highway 169 to the West of Flying Cloud
Drive, on property currently owned by the City of Eden Prairie
(Outlot B in the plat of LEE DATA), although those documents do
not so restrict their location.
The sale of the Lee Data property is anticipated to
close on June 12, 1986. The delivery of the attached letter is a
condition precedent of that closing, so your prompt attention to
this matter is appreciated. Also, your diligent prosecution of
this vacation procedure is required inasmuch as we have commit'..ed
to our purchaser's title insurance company to have these

easements. If you have any further questions or comments, please
contact me at your earliest convenience.

DATE: July 8, 1986
RE: Volunteer Firemen's Retirement
The Fire Relief Association, which is an arm of the Fire Department
set up to deal with pension and disability matters, has amended
their by-laws to provide for :a retirement benefit of $22.50 per
month per year of service. The present plan pays $15.00. The new
plan also provides for a lump sum payment instead of a monthly
annuity at the option of the firefighter.
Plans of neighboring communities:
Pension at 20 Years of Service*
Lump Sum
Bloomington --la--
Minnetonka 32,000
Hopkins 34,000
Eden Prairie 45,000
*Minimum Retirement Age is 50
In order for the change to become effective the new
be approved by the City Council. The previous cost
per year the new cost would be $120,000. State aid
pension will cover about $7000 of the increase.
A copy of the new by-laws is attached. If you have any questions
please call me.

BYLAWS OF THE
EDEN PRAIRIE FIRE FIGHTERS'
RELIEF ASSOCIATION
ARTICLE I
Section 1. Any regular active member of the Eden Prairie Fire Department who is
under forty-one years of age shall be eligible to apply for membership in this
Association.
Section 2. Application for membership may be made at any regular or special
meeting of the board of trustees, and then laid over for one month for con-
sideration. During this time, the board of trustees shall conduct an invesiga-
tion to determine if the applicant, due to some medically determinable physical
or mental implairment or condition, would constitute for the Association a pre-
dicatable and unwarranted risk of liability for benefit, at an age earlier than
the minimum age specified for receipt of a service pension. If no such impair-
ment or condition exists, the board of trustees shall appoint the applicant to
membership in the Association.
Section 3. Expulsion from or resignation before the said fire fighter is eli-
gible to collect benefits or failure to meet the requirements of paragraph AS of
section II in said department's policies and procedures manual before the fire
fighter is eligible to collect benefits shall terminate the membership of the
fire fighter so resigning, expelled or not in compliance with the said depart-
ment's bylaws. Members on an approved leave of absence from the Eden Prairie
Fire Department shall not be terminated. They shall not, however, be entitled
to any benefits of membership in this Relief Association while on such leave,
nor shall the time spent on such leave be credited as service as an active fire
fighter for the purpose of computing eligibility for Relief Association bene-
fits. The exception to a leave of absence is a medical leave. There are two
types of medical leave of absence; a fire related injury or illness, and a non-
fire related injury or illness. A fire related medical leave of absence will
result in no loss of benefits for a fire fighter. In the case of a non-fire
related medical leave of absence, a fire fighter shall receive benefits for the
first three months of the medical leave providing said fire fighter has not
taken a non-fire related medical leave of absence within the preceding 365 days.
ARTICLE II
Board of Trustees
Section 1. The Board of Trustees shall be composed of 9 trustees, 6 of whom
shall be elected for terms as specified in this Article, or until their respec-
tive successors have been elected and qualified, at the annual meeting of the
Association from its members, and 3 statutory ex officio trustees; the Chief of
the Eden Prairie Fire Department, the Mayor and the Clerk of the City of Eden
Prairie.
Section 2. At the first election following the adoption of these bylaws, 2
trustees shall be elected for terms of one year; two trustees shall be elected
for terms of two years; and two trustees shall be elected for terms of three
years. Thereafter, as their respective terms of office expire, two trustees
shall be elected for three year terms at each annual meeting. If a vacancy,
other than a vacancy caused by removal for cause of a trustee occurs during the
term of office of any elected trustee, the remaining members of the board of
trustees shall elect a member of the Association to serve for the unexpired term
of the vacated position.
Section 3. At the first meeting of the board of trustees held after the annual
meeting of the members of the Association, the board shall elect, from the 6
trustees who have been elected by the members, a President, a Vice President, a
Secretary and a Treasurer. Each of the officers shall serve in the position to
Which he was elected for a term of one year or until his successor has been
elected and qualified.
Section 4. A general trustee or officer may be removed for cause. Cause for
removal shall include, but not be limited to, the breach of the duties as set
forth in Articles II and III of these bylaws. One or more of the trustees or
officers may be removed at a meeting of the membership which is called for that
purpose by a two—thirds vote of those present and voting at such meeting.
Notice of the meeting at which removal is to be considered shall be given to
each member and shall include the purpose of the meeting. The general trustee
or officer shall be furnished with a statement of the particular charges at
least five days before the meeting is to be held. At the meeting, the general
• trustee or officer shall be given an opportunity to be fully heard as to each
charge. If a general trustee or officer is removed, his replacement shall be
elected at the same meeting, and such replacement shall serve out the unexpired
term of the removed general trustee or officer.
Section 5. It shall be the duty of the board of trustees to prepare modes and
plans for the safe and profitable investment of the unappropriated funds of the
Association, and whenever loans or investments are made, to investigate and pass
upon the securities offered and to attend to the drawing and execution of the
necessary papers. The board shall order an audit of the books and accounts of
the secretary and treasurer annually, according to law, and shall submit a writ-
ten report of the condition of the Association to the members at the annual
meeting.
Section 6. The investment of the funds of the Association shall be in the
exclusive control of the board of trustees, in conformance with state statutes.
Section 7. The members of the board shall act as trustees with a fiduciary
obligation to the members of the Association, to the City of Eden Prairie and to
the State of Minnesota.
ARTICLE III
Duties of Officers
Section 1. It shall be the duty of the President to attend and to preside at
all meetings of the Association and of the board of trustees. He shall enforce
the due observance of the Articles of Incorporation and the bylaws and see that
the officers properly perform the duties assigned to them. He shall sign all
checks issued by the Treasurer and all other papers which require his signature.
rig9
He shall be a member of all committees except the aid committee and he shall

Association.
Section 2. It shall be the duty of the Vice President to perform the duties of

fighter, the Association shall pay to such member the sum of $22.50 per month
for each year that he served as an active member of the Eden Prairie Fire
Department, to the maximum of $675.00 per month.
ARTICLE VIII
Death Benefits and Pensions
Section 1. In the event of the death of a member prior to retirement, the sur-
viving spouse, if any, shall be paid until death or remarriage, the sum of
$15.00 per month of each year of active service performed by such member in the
Eden Prairie Fire Department to a maximum of $450.00 per month. If such member
leaves a surviving child or children in addition to a spouse, such child or
children, in the aggregate, shall be paid monthly an additional $7.50 per month
for each year of active service performed by the member, to a maximum of $225.00
per month. If such member is survived only by a child or children, the
Association shall pay monthly, or toward the support of such child or children,
the sum of $22.50 per month for each year of active service performed by the
member, to a maximum of $675.00 per month. Such payment to or on behalf of sur-
viving children shall cease when the youngest child reaches the age of eighteen
or in the case of any children who further their education, the last child who
graduates, quits school, reaches the age of twenty-two, or fails to provide
proof of educational eligibility. Such payment to or on behalf of surviving
children will also cease when the last child eligible for benefits marries. Any
child furthering their education and wishing to qualify for benefits must pro-
duce annually, in person and to the satisfaction of the Eden Prairie Fire
Department Relief Assocation board of trustees proof said child is a full time
student in a college or trade school.

years or more, he/she shall have the option to be paid a monthly sum based on
the vested amount of service time he/she has accrued, or when the said member
has retained membership in the Association for at least fifteen years, and has
served as an active fire fighter in the said fire department for at least fif-
teen years or more, and has reached the age of fifty years or more, a lump sum
of 100 times the vested monthly payment he/she is entitled to at the time of
retirement may be paid said member. The monthly payment is determined by taking
$22.50 per month for each year of active service performed by the member to a
maximum of $675.00 per month, and multiplying it times the vested percentage due
him/her at the time of retirement. A fire fighter is 50% vested when he/she has
met the ten year committment mentioned above. The vested interest will be
increased by 6% per year until the fire fighter has reached fifteen years; from
fifteen years to twenty years, the vested interest will increase by 4% to a
maximum of 100% (consult the table below for the actual figures).
115
Once the one time sum is paid, no additional claims can be made against the said
fire department's Relief Association. Furthermore, all changes to the monthly
amounts paid retired fire fighters, shall be applied to all members currently
collecting benefits (this only applies to monthly payments, not lump sums). The
following table will outline the monthly and lump sum payments as stated above.

table by survivors of members collection pensions). If such a member is sur-
vived by a child or children, the total monthly pension payable to all survivors
shall not exceed the amount to which such member would have been entitled at age
fifty. Such payment to or on behalf of surviving children shall cease when the
youngest child reaches the age of eighteen or in the case of any children who
further their education, the last child who graduates, quits school, reaches the
age of twenty-two, or fails to provide proof of educational eligibility. Such
payment to or on behalf of surviving children will also cease when the last
child eligible for benefits marries. Any child furthering their education and
wishing to qualify for benefits must produce annually, in person and to the
satisfaction of the Eden Prairie Fire Department Relief Association board of
trustees, proof said child is a full time student in a college or trade school.
A member who is on the pension roll shall not be eligible for any disability
benefits as provided for in ARTICLE VII of these bylaws.
Section 4, For the purpose of determining eligibility for relief, the surviving
spouse of a member must have been married to the member for at least one year
prior to the member's retirement. The surviving spouse of a retired member who
is receiving a pension or who is on a deferred status shall be paid monthly
until death or re-marriage two thirds of the amount to which the member was
entitled before death.
Section 5. For purposes of computing benefits or pensions payable under
ARTICLES VII and VIII, a "year of service" shall be defined as a period of 12
full months of active duty in the Eden Prairie Fire Department beginning on the
date when the member became an active fire fighter in said fire department. If
a member's period of active service has not been continuous, parts of years may
be added together to compute full years. An active fire fighter is defined as a
probationary or regular member of the Eden Prairie Fire Department.
Section 6. Monthly benefits payable to a retired member or survivors shall be
inceased to the amount provided for by any increase which will be payable to a
future recipient in the same classification (only monthly benefits will be
passed on the members collecting; lump sum payment increases are not to be
passed on). It should also be noted that any increase in benefits will take
effect one month following the approval of the city council.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: City Manager Carl J. Jullie
FROM: Assistant to the City Manager Craig W. Dawson
SUBJECT: Joint Powers Agreement, Southwest Area Transit Commission
DATE: July 9, 1986
Work continues to progress on implementing a transit service for the cities of
Eden Prairie, Chaska, and Chanhassen. The cities consultant for the project,
BRW, Inc., has prepared preliminary routes (map attached) after receiving
comments from the transit advisory committee. These routes will be forwarded to
the Regional Transit Board (RTB) as part of the application to receive status as
a Transit Demonstration (Opt-out) Service Area. In order to have this
designation, the RIB prefers that an entity be established to coordinate the
transit service. Having a joint powers agreement to establish such a commission
makes sense.
The transit advisory committee unanimously recommended that the attached joint
powers agreement be executed by the respective City Councils. The agreement,
which was prepared by the Eden Prairie City Attorney and approved by the
attorneys for all three cities, is modeled after that of the Southwest Suburban
Cable Commission. Each City would appoint two persons for 3-year terms to
represent it on the Commission. An operations advisory committee comprised of
city staffers would handle technical matters prior to action which may be
necessary by the Commission. A provision is made to employ a transit
administrator. Annual budgets must be presented to and approved by the City
Councils.
One of the more difficult issues to resolve in the agreement was that of
insurance. The level stated in agreement is $600,000 for liability and umbrella
coverage for $1,000,000, amounts in keeping with statutory limits on recovery
awards. (This section may need to be amended from time to time.) One of the
primary advantages of a joint powers commission is that it can remove a City
from direct liability. A City may also be sued, of course, but it should be
viewed as a less directly responsible party. Risk management costs can be borne
by the Commission, which is funded by the RTB levy rather than City general
funds. Insurance levels in the agreement are designed to cover the Commission
as an administrative entity. The transit operator will be required to carry
adequate insurance to cover the physical operations of the bus system.
The joint powers agreement will be on the agendae of the meetings of the Chaska
and Chanhassen City Councils during the week of July 20.
Upcoming Activities: Shortly after the Commission is formed, it will inform
transit operators of upcoming requests for bids or proposals. Transit companies
have contacted City staffs and made them aware that some lead time to procure
equipment will be necessary. A process to hire a transit administrator wil be
started so that he/she will be able to begin employment after RIB approval of
the application. Request for bids or proposals and contract documents will be
prepared. Service is anticipated to begin in late October.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached
joint powers agreement establishing the Southwest Area Transit Commission and
authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the agreement.

7. OPERATING COSTS, BUDGET, AND FINANCIAL LIABILITY.
a) Operating Costs.
Operating costs shall include all non-capital costs
for the maintenance and operation of the transit
system, including, but not limited to, gasoline,
oil, lubricants, parts, repairs, labor, and service
for any vehicles employed in such operation; insur-
ance premiums; salaries and other direct payments
for work or labor in performance of the services
furnished by the transit system; indirect costs
incurred in the employment of persons for the per-
formance of such services, such as taxes, unemploy-
ment compensation, workers' compensation, insurance
benefits paid to or accrued for such employees, and
any other costs attributable to such employment;
and any expenses incurred in connection with con-
tracts for management services.
b) Budget.
The Commission shall have a fiscal year beginning
January 1 and ending December 31. On or before
July 1 of each year the Advisory Board shall
prepare an estimated budget for the next fiscal
year including an estimate of capital expenditures,
operating costs, and revenues. Estimated capital
expenditures and operating costs shall be limited
to revenues received pursuant to Minnesota Statutes
S473.384 and Minnesota Statutes S473.388, and
estimated revenues to be received from the opera-
tion of the transit system. The Board shall review
and approve or disapprove the budget. One-twelfth
(1/12) of the estimated annual budget shall consti-
tute the estimated monthly budget. The estimated
annual and monthly budgets may be adjusted from
time to time on the basis of actual costs incurred
or changes in estimated revenue. In the event
of an adjustment of the budget, there shall be
furnished to each party a computation of said
adjustment.
c) Financial Liability.
The primary annual financial contribution to the
Commission of each party shall be equal to the
-5-
-6-
total amount of assistance which each party
receives pursuant to Minnesota Statutes S473.384
and Minnesota Statutes S473.388. In addition, each
party shall be responsible for annual debts and
obligations of the Commission which exceed annual
revenues in accordance with the following formula.
Each party shall be liable for that percentage of
the total annual debts and obligations which exceed
total annual revenue which is directly proportional
to that party's primary annual financial contribu-
tion in comparison to the total primary annual
financial contribution by all parties to the
Commission during the year in question. The Board
shall submit a monthly bill to each party for its
proportionate share of actual expenses which exceed
actual revenues. At the end of each fiscal year,
each party shall be credited for any excess pay-
ments made by it during the year, or billed for its
proportionate share of actual expenses which exceed
actual revenues for which it had not previously
been billed. Upon receiving a bill from the
Commission, each party shall remit payment of the
same within 30 days. To the extent that each party
is financially liable pursuant to the above for-
mula, each party hereby agrees to indemnify any
other party which for any reason assumes payment of
its debts in connection with the operation of the
Commission.
d) Financial Liability Limited.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in paragraph 7(c) above, each party's liability
under this contract shall be limited to the extent
that it shall not result in any indebtedness or the
incurrence of any pecuniary liability for which it
shall be necessary to levy in any year a rate of
taxes higher than the maximum prescribed by law or
to do any other thing in violation of Minnesota
Statutes S275.27 or any other law which shall cause
this Agreement to be null and void. Nothing con-
tained in this Agreement shall preclude any party
from providing in any budget for, or making any
expenditure, or selling or issuing any bonds, or
creating any indebtedness, the payment of principal
or interest of which shall require the levy of
taxes which levy may or may not be subject to any
maximum levy limitation or limitations prescribed
by law. Such party's obligation to levy taxes for
payment of and to pay any amount to any other party
from any such tax levy shall be subordinate to, and
may occur only after provision is made for, the
levy of taxes for and the payment of any such
expenditure or indebtedness, the sale of issuance
of bonds and the payment of principal or interest
thereon.
8. INSURANCE.
The Commission shall provide or cause to be provided
motor vehicle liability (other than that applicable to public
transit vehicles), general public liability, and public officials
liability insurance in amounts not less than $1,600,000, and
workers' compensation insurance. The Commission shall also pro-
vide or cause to be provided insurance insuring against liability
arising out of the ownership and operation of public transit
vehicles in such amounts and on such terms as the Commission
shall determine. The Commission may also provide insurance for
fire, theft, motor vehicle collision insurance, and other
insurance relating to any of its property, rights, or revenue, or
any other risk or hazard arising from its activities. The
Commission may provide for the insuring of its officers or
employees against any other liability, risk, or hazard.
9. DURATION OF AGREEMENT.
This Agreement shall continue in force until January 1,
1988, and thereafter from year to year, subject to withdrawal by
a party or termination by all parties. Withdrawal by any party
shall be effected by serving written notice thereof upon the
other parties no later than July 1 of the year at the end of
which such withdrawal is to be effective. Withdrawal from the
Agreement by any party at the end of the calendar year shall not
affect the obligation of any party to perform the Agreement for
or during the period that the Agreement is in effect. Withdrawal
of any party or termination of the Agreement by all parties shall
not terminate or limit any liability, contingent, asserted or
unasserted, of any party arising out of that party's participa-
tion in the Agreement.
10. DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.
In the event of withdrawal of any party from this Agree-
ment, all of the capital assets, real estate, liquid assets,
prepaid expenses and cash utilized by the Commission or its
designated management services, which the withdrawing party may
have contributed to in proportionate share, shall be forfeited
to the Commission. In the event of termination of this Agreement
by all parties, all of the capital assets, real estate, liquid
assets, prepaid expenses, and cash which remain after payment
of debts and obligations shall be distributed among the munici-
palities who are parties to this Agreement immediately prior to
its termination in accordance with the following formula. Each
municipality shall receive that percentage of remaining assets
determined by dividing the total amount which that municipality
contributed to the Commission during the previous five years by
the total amount contributed to the Commission over the previous
-7-
five years by all the municipalities who are parties to this
Agreement immediately prior to its termination. The amount of
the distribution to any party pursuant to this Agreement shall be
reduced by any amounts owed by the party to the Commission pur-
suant to paragraph 7(c) and shall be subject to the party's
continuing liability pursuant to paragraph 9.
11. ARBITRATION.
If the parties are unable to agree upon any matter to be
decided by the Commission, any party may submit such unresolved
dispute for arbitration in accordance with the rules of commer-
cial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association, with
the parties sharing the costs of such arbitration equally (other
than each parties' own expenses incurred in presenting its posi-
tion during the arbitration proceedings). In the event any
dispute is submitted to arbitration, the parties agree to be
bound by the results of the arbitration.
12. COOPERATIVE EFFORT.
Each of the parties agrees that it will cooperate fully
and in a timely manner to take the actions necessary to facili -
tate and accomplish the foregoing provisions of this Agreement.
13. EFFECTIVE DATE.
This Agreement shall be in full force and effect from
and after the date of passage and adoption by the governing body
of each party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Governmental Units, by

SUBJECT: OPEN BURNING AND BURNING PERMITS
For as long as I am aware, and perhaps since the beginning of time itself,
open burning has been allowed in the Eden Prairie area. This burning was
done indiscriminately, and without any benefit of local control or guid-
ance.
Beginning in June of 1981, a permit program was initiated in an attempt
to ward off possible hazardous situations. Permits were based on existing
fire code requirements at that time, and primarily allowed burning any-
where within the City, so long as the fire was at least fifty feet from
a building. While this method gave us some control over who was burning,
it did not limit the amount of burning being done.
As the City grew more rapidly, it seemed as if everyone wanted a permit
to burn brush as they cleared their lots for construction. With each permit
came a flood of complaints about smoke. Also, the incidents of false fire alarms increased dramatically as people in the area were able to convince
11 police and fire dispatchers that the smoke or odors they were experiencing
could not possibly be from the area burning permit.
Beginning in January 1984, I, as the City Fire Marshal, made an administrative
decision to discontinue all burning permits. My decision was based on costs
. and liabilities to the City from false alarms, accidents, and our inability
0 to personally or adequately control burning sites or projects due to other
rapidly escalating duties and responsibilities within my own position.
This no burning policy remained in effect until March of 1984. At that time,
pressure from local residents and development contractors prompted then
Mayor Penzel to request that burning permits again be issued.
After serveral discussions with the Public Safety Director, City Manager
and City Attorney, burning permits were reinstated using the current regu-
lations which closely resemble the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency re-
quirements for open burning and provides for reimbursement of city expenses .
for false alarm calls.
The most significant of the the new requirements is that the fire be at
least 600 feet from any structure. This has reduced the number of permits
from highs of 25 each in 1982 and 1983 to 3 in 1984, 2 in 1985, and 6 to
date in 1986. There have been no false alarms since instituting the new
burning permit. I am convinced that this is due to the large distance
(
equirements and limited amounts of burning being done.
he procedure for obtaining a burning permit is basically quite simple.
Permits may be applied for by either picking up or having an application
form mailed out. The completed application is then returned along with the
minimal permit fee. For projects that are extremely large or remote, in-

spections are done as time permits. For unfamiliar or potentially contro-
versial projects, inspections are done prior to burning. Police patrol
cars are notified prior to the start of burning and perform informal drive-
bys on routine patrol. All fires have 24 hour supervision requirements which
are strictly adhered to or permits are revoked.
Development contractors attempt to use burning permits solely as a cost and
time saving method of land clearance. Many landfills will not accept trees
and those that do charge as much as $50.00 - $100.00 per load. Major projects
can generate as many as 50-75 loads compared to 5-10 loads of burned materials
There are few alternatives to burning. One obviously is clearing and halling
trees and brush to an approved landfill. The second may be chipping and using
the chips for other purposes. However, this may not be cost effective as
there may not be that many uses on site for a mountain of wood chips, the
process is time consuming, and finally large diameter trees may not fit in
the chipping machine. The last option may be burying the materials. This
is probably not practical due to the fact that decaying wood would not supply
an adequate enough base for construction purposes. Also, trees would not be
allowed to be buried in flood plain areas or standing bodies of water.
Ai The burning permit which was issued for the old Minnesota Tree site was is-
sued based on the attached permit application and permit form. On Wednesday,
July 8th, I measured distance from the burn site to the nearest structures.
The closest two buildings are the Norwest Bank building and Learning Tree
Day Care. The Day Care is in excess of 625 feet from the burning site and the
bank is slightly further.
On the day of the burn, I was present when the initial fire was lit. The
fire consisted of trees and debris from the old house on the site. I ob-
served the fire,off and on, for the next five hours. After the initial
fire was started, I spoke with the foreman and informed him that the old
creosote timbers could not be burned and would have to be hauled away. He
agreed and stated he had planned for that anyway. The fire burned very
intensely and created very little smoke. All smoke was rising straight up
and was very light in color. With the fire burning as intensely as it was
initially, any roofing materials from the old house were immediately consumed
and offered no adverse problems. The major complaints originated after an
extremely heavy rain storm caused the burning trees to cool down and smolder..
An unfortunate temperature inversion caused the smoke to remain near the
ground.
After several complaints and the urging of Councilman Anderson, I informed
the contractor he must extinguish the fire, which he did.
As I see it, we have several options. The first would be to continue as we
are and issue permits under the present system. The second would be to dis- t ontinue issuing permits altogether and place the entire problem in the hands
of the PCA. We would no longer then have any control over permits. Lastly,
we could issue permits only to professional companies who perform burning as
their business.
would be happy to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Director of Public Works Eugene A. Dietz
RE:
Chain of Lakes Study
DATE:
July 9, 1986
Attached is a copy of the Preliminary Draft of the Chain of Lakes Study as
prepared by Barr Engineering for Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District.
Also attached to this memorandum is a copy of a letter dated June 18th from Barr
Engineering and a Draft Policy Statement regarding project financing and
Watershed District participation.
The Report seems rather lengthy, but in fact the text is only about ten pages
long. The important items that you should look for while reviewing the document
are as follows:
1) There are two Figure 2s, the one designated Figure 2, Alternate
2, in fact shows both alternates as originally proposed by
the Engineer. Alternate 1 provides all the necessary
interconnecting piping between the lakes and is shown in a
solid heavy dark line, with the exception of the 27 inch
pipe connecting Mitchell Lake to the Railroad tracks. This
Alternate provides both the interconnection for the lakes
as well as a trunk storm sewer system for development in
the vicinity west of County Road 4. Alternate 2 provides
only the basic interconnection between the lakes without
providing additional capacity west of County Road 4.
Therefore, the only difference between alternates is in the
pipe sizing that connects Mitchell Lake to Red Rock Lake --
otherwise the project is the same.
2. The last page of the Report is Table 4 and outlines the
construction costs for the two alternates. You will note
that there is approximately one million dollars difference
between the alternates and that is for the oversizing
necessary to provide trunk storm sewer for the area west of
County Road 4.
3. The attachment that provides a Policy Statement regarding
financing and Watershed District participation is an important
element to this project. You should note that the Chain of
Lakes project in Eden Prairie is in fact a first priority
project, which allows up to 100% of the project to be funded
by the Watershed District. However, that is for construction
costs only and is not the proposed policy as it relates to
land acquisition. Therefore, of the estimated costs shown on
Table 4, Table 5 of the Report shows the potential District
participation as being $717,000.00.
4. Finally, the June 18th letter from Barr Engineering should be
carefully reviewed. This letter summarizes additional
information as prepared by the consultant as a result of a
meeting with City staff and takes into account some refinements
to the plan. Specifically, this third alternate introduces
storm water detentiOn basins into the segment between Mitchell
Lake and Red Rock Lake. The net effect is that the project
would cost $1,102,000 attOMparecito the figures on Table A of
the Report. A particular advantage to this Alternate is that
there are two pipe segments between Mitchell Lake and Red Rock
Lake. One segment:actually interconnects the lakes , while the
second segment PrOvides for drainage south of the Railroad
tracks and west of ,County Road 4. It is possible to defer
the southerly pipe Segment and consequently differ approximately
$240,000.00 of construction costs ($264,000.00 with
until development istminent. The result woulUbe that the
interconnection of the lakes could be accomplished for
$838,000.00 -- ofiAlch the District may be able to participate
to the extent of $717,000.00.
You should take particular note Of the fact that all of the figures listed above
do not include any costs for easements or right-of-way. :While thel/iStrict's
proposed policy allows participation up:to 100% Of the project costs, 1
understand from the Watershed District Engineer that land acquisition is a third
priority and is subject to up to 25% participation of project costs.
Each of the three alternates has special implications if selected. I will be
available at the Council meeting to discuss those implications in moreAetail
and answer additional questions you will :have regarding the project. However,
all things considered, Alternatel would appear to have the most flexibility and
therefore be the most advantageous to the City of Eden Prairie

Re: Eden Prairie Chain of Lakes
Dear Mr. Dietz:
As a follow-up to our meeting last week, a third alternate for the
handling of stormwater runoff from Mitchell Lake to Red Rock Lake has been
analyzed and is shown on the attached figure. This alternate, proposes the
installation of the Mitchell Lake outlet to Red Rock Lake with storage
provided along the alignment to handle runoff from the urbanizing areas.
Runoff from the majority of the area south and east of the railroad tracks
is to be ultimately handled by a trunk storm sewer system which would be installed by the City of Eden Prairie as this area urbanizes. This
southeastern area is approximately 330 acres and would not be considered a
part of the overall Chain of Lakes project.
The attached figure shows the proposed alignment, resultant outflow discharges, normal elevations and pipe sizes for the handling of stormwater
runoff within this area. The estimated construction cost for this
alternate, from Mitchell Lake to Red Rock Lake, would be $260,000. This
does not include easement, right-of-way costs or engineering costs. In
comparison, the cost for constructing Alternate 2, which only provides
sufficient capacity for the outflow discharge from Mitchell Lake is
$250,000. The cost of the two systems is comparable as a result of providing storage for the urbanizing areas along the proposed alignment.
For the majority of the area south and east of the railroad tracks, the
figure shows that two stormwater detention areas are proposed. Pipes
connecting these basins with an ultimate discharge into Red Rock Lake is
proposed. The estimated construction cost for this system is approximately
$240,000, which does not include easement or engineering costs. It has been
assumed that areas designated for flood storage would be incorporated into
the development plans as this area urbanizes. These storage areas are
"kettle holes" and will likely remain in their existing condition because
the cost of developing (filling in), these areas would be significant. This
results in these areas making excellent detention facilities. The outlets
provided essentially are high level, low flow outlets with the basin bottom
being approximately 20 to 30 feet below the invert elevation of the outflow
pipe.

praft folicy Statement Regarding Project
Financing - Watershed District Participation
Introduction
Several alternatives exist for a watershed district to involve itself
in the financing of projects initiated under Chapter 112 of the Minnesota
Statutes. It is the intention of this policy statement to set forth the
Managers' philosophy and objectives with regard to the District's financial
participation in Chapter 112 improvement projects.
Methods Available for Financing ImProvement Projects
Under Chapter 112, a watershed district can provide for or assist in
the financing of an improvement project by one of several methods. A. list
of the primary financing methods is as follows:
1. Special assessments levied by the District against lands
benefitted by a project.
2. Participation by the District in cooperative project agreements
with federal, state and local govermental agencies, with the
District's allocated costs to be obtained from its administrative
funds.
3. One mill general tax levy by District in payment of basic water
management projects petitioned for directly and solely by
municipalities.
District Particioation
Whenever any project calling for improvements to the basic water
management plan of the District as identified in the Overall Plan is
properly initiated, the District intends to contribute directly for the
payment of such projects. The District will expend available funds for its
attributable portion of the costs or utilize tax levy authorities as set
forth under methods numbered 2 and 3 above. The commitment and
expenditures of these financial resources will be predicated upon the
priorities for initiation of projects set forth below. To the extent
administrative funds are to be used, the projects will be included in the
annual budget. If funds exceed the $125,000 annual total budget, the
Managers would encourage petitions by municipalities pursuant to Section
112.61 so as to be able to levy a general one mill over the entire
District.
Project Priorities
The District's Overall Plan identifies both general and specific
improvement projects which might be petitioned and initiated to provide for
basic management of the water and related resources found within the
District.
Fundamental to the District's basic overall water management plan is
proper and sufficient hydraulic control of Riley, Purgatory, and Bluff
Creeks and the major lakes lying within the District. Projects primarily
involving this aspect of the basic water management plan will, therefore,
be given the highest priority by the District. A summary of these types of
general and specific projects are as follows:
Staring Lake Outlet
Chain of Lakes in Eden Prairie
Purgatory Creek Recreation Area
Removal of obstructions located within the channel of the creek
Restoration, stabilization, of the creek channel which is required
to minimize the potential of damage from occurring as a result
of the natural meandering process of the creek
Improvement of the water quality in the creeks and lakes
Sediment control and skimming structures
Similar types of hydraulic-related projects
/V')
A second category of improvement projects contemplaed in the
District's basic overall water management plan suggests enhancement of the
waters and related land resources located within the District. A list of
these types of potential projects is as follows:
Development of walkways along the creek and major water areas
Development of swimming beaches
Improvement of wildlife habitat
Fish stocking
Open space beautification
These projects will be given consideration in the annual budget process for
cost sharing between a municipality and the District.
The third project classification of the District deals with projects
involving floodplain land acquisition. The Managers recognize the
importance of properly preserving and regulating floodplain lands because
of their importance in the total hydrologic cycle. Because of the limited
financial resources and tax levy authority available to the District,
floodplain lands acquisition projects are given the lowest priority for
District financial participation. The District is aware of the
considerable costs associated with floodplain lands acquisition and
believes that financing of such acquisition projects is better left to
funding methods other than direct expenditures from District administrative
funds.
District Percentage Allocation
In participating financially in improvement projects, the District
will review and consider its participation in each individual project
proposal based on the merits of the project. Guidelines for financial
assistance from the District will, however, be based upon the following
percentage allowaction for the three priority classifications enumerated
above:
nfl
nri9
First Priority
Second Priority
Third Priority
Up to 100% maximum of total project
cost
Up to 50% maximum of total project
COSt
Up to 25% maximum of total project
COSt
The above percentage allocations will be applied by the District in
determining the amounts which actually will be comitted upon any single
improvement project.
Two other factors will also be considered by the District in
determining the extent of District financial participation in any given
improvement project. The first factor involves the availability of
'uncommitted funds in the District's administrative fund. The second factor
is the determination of the one mill levy tax authority existing at the
time of initiation of any improvement project.
Summary
The District is willing and desirous of participating financially in
undertaking improvement projects within the District. If financial
resources from the administration fund and direct mill levy tax authority
are limited. Hence, there exists the necessity to define priorities of
projects and the proportionate amounts of the total project costs for which
the District will consider participating financially. The above priorities
and percentage allocation commitments reflect the District's present policy
to best accomplish these objectives.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A nominating petition initiating by 70 resident freeholders of the
Riley Creek and Purgatory Creek Watershed area was filed with the Minnesota
Water Resources board on September 19, 1968. The petition sought to
establish the District to "manage and provide for the provident use of
waters and natural resources withirl the proposed watershed area." As
outlined in the nominating petition, petitioners sought to establish a
watershed district to control floodwaters, provide and conserve water for
public and private use, control siltation and soil erosion and regulate
improvements by riparian owners and municipalities. The objective of the
petitioners was to maintain and preserve the natural aesthetic
characteristics of the area to the fullest extent possible by providing for
the orderly management of waters within the watershed. The Riley-Purgatory
Creek Watershed District was established July 31, 1969 by the Minnesota
Water Resource Board acting under the authority Minnesota Statutes, Chapter
112. The Bluff Creek Watershed area was added to the District in 1985.
The order establishing the district including a finding of facts that "an
overall agency is needed to proceed with the planning of water courses and
lakes and their adjacent floodplain and shoreline lands not withstanding
the boundaries of municipalities. A watershed district would be the basis
for an attack on the water problems in the watershed areas in cooperation
with the municipalities".
The total drainage area of the watershed district is approximately 47.3
square miles. The location and boundaries of the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff
Creek Watershed District are shown on Figure 1. The Chain of Lakes
Watershed is located in the western half of the City of Eden Prairie. Once
the outlets to these lakes are installed, this system becomes tributary to
Purgatory Creek. The Chain of Lakes watershed area is approximately 3,070
acres or 4.9 square miles and is entirely within the limits of the City of
Eden Prairie. As shown in Figure 2, there are five major lakes in the
chain. These lakes are Duck, Round, Mitchell, Red Rock, and McCoy.
CHAIN330,0 2
According to the City of Eden Prairie's Comprehensive Guide Plan, the
Chain of Lakes watershed is reserved almost exclusively for residential
development. Currently, developments exist around Duck Lake, the area west
of Round Lake, the area east of Mitchell Lake, and the entire area
surrounding of Red Rock Lake is developing rapidly. The area surrounding
Round Lake is a City park and City Civic Center. The land use type amd
acreages, based on the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan for ultimate land
use designations, for each of the five lake subwatersheds within the Chain
of Lakes watershed are listed in Table 1.
At the present time the lakes within the Chain of Lakes Watershed with
the exception of Duck Lake do not have low level outlets to help stabilize
their levels. Therefore, the lakes must rely on evaporation and seepage as
their only outlets. Duck Lake has a surface outlet that was constructed in
1969. This outlet was constructed to temporarily alleviate an existing
problem which resulted from basement elevations in numerous homes
surrounding the lake being built at a low elevation during a dry cycle.
When the lake and surrounding water table returned to higher levels the
basements became flooded.
Fluctuating lake levels are a problem with many lakes within this
chain. The shoreline and banks surrounding many of these lakes show the
effects of fluctuating lake levels.
The City of Eden Prairie has completed a drainage plan containing a
management plan for the five lakes within the Chain of Lakes watershed.
The purpose of the plan is to reduce the problems associated with
fluctuating levels by connecting the major lakes as shown on Figure 2. The
District in its overall plan supported the plan for the Chain of Lakes
watershed and recommended that it be constructed. The plan will stabilize
lake levels thereby allowing flood levels to be established and development
to proceed in an orderly fashion.
The City of Eden Prairie submitted a petition on March 11, 1985 to the
Board of Managers of Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District for
construction of the Chain of Lakes Outlet Project. The Board approved the
CRAIN330,0 3
petition on April 3, 1985, and Barr Engineering Co. was instructed to
prepare the Engineer's Report. A copy of the petition is included in
Appendix A.
GENERAL PLAN OF PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT
Figure 2 is a general map of the area to be improved showing the
location of the proposed improvements and the watershed of the project
area. The peak outflow discharge and required pipe size have been shown
for each of the lakes' outlets within the system. Recommended normal
elevations, the resultant 100-year frequency flood elevation and peak
outflow discharges and flood storage volumes for each of the lakes within
the Chain of Lakes outlet system are listed in Table 2. The proposed
normal elevations of these basins are based on a field survey and visual
inspection of the facilities and closely approximate the natural ordinary
high water elevation as determined by the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources. These elevations are also based on existing levels with due
regard for critical existing building elevations.
The proposed improvements have been modified from the plan outlined in
both the City of Eden Prairie's Drainage Plan and the District's Overall
Plan. The first modification has eliminated the outlet connection from
Duck Lake to Round Lake. In 1979, the Watershed District and City of Eden
Prairie completed a water quality management plan for Round Lake. This
study was undertaken to make recommendations for the stabilization and
improvement of the lake's water quality. Since the waters of Duck Lake are
rich in nutrients and quite eutrophic, it is recommended that Round Lake be
the headwaters of the lake chain and the outlet for Duck Lake continue to
follow the existing alignment. Two alternatives are shown for the outlet
connection of Mitchell Lake to Red Rock Lake. Both the City of Eden
Prairie's Drainage Plan and the Watershed District's Overall Plan
illustrate the outlet from Mitchell Lake as a trunk storm sewer system
serving the ultimately developed areas adjacent to the proposed alignment
of the outlet pipeline. Mitchell Lake Outlet Alternate 1 describes the
outlet configuration designated in the Drainage Plan and Overall Plan.
Because currently the area adjacent to Mitchell Lake and Red Rock Lake is

relatively rural, an additional alternate (Alternate 2) for the Mitchell
Lake outlet, to decrease costs, has been analyzed. This alterate serves
only as an outlet for Mitchell Lake and not as a trunk storm sewer for the
adjacent areas. The alignments for both alternates are shown in Figure 2.
Implementation of Alternate 2 will require construction of a trunk storm
sewer system with similar capacity as shown in Alternate 1 to serve the
areas adjacent to Mitchell Lake and Red Rock Lake as they are developed.
As part of the analysis of the Chain of Lakes outlet system, the
impacts of installing the Round Lake to Mitchell Lake outlet and not
installing the Mitchell Lake to Red Rock Lake outlet until sometime in the
future were investigated. A water balance for the lake system was
calculated to determine these potential impacts. The water balance
indicated that if a portion of the system were installed, lake levels would
rise to the lake's natural surface overflow on Round Lake, Mitchell Lake,
and Red Rock Lake. This is based on the assumption that the lakes'
tributary drainage area is urbanized and the critical 100-year frequency
storm occurs. The lakes' elevations would not instantaneously rise to the
surface overflow elevation, but would reach this elevation over a period of
time. Therefore, if the entire Chain of Lakes outlet system is not
installed at one time, development should continue to be regulated 2 feet
above the surface overflow elevation of the lakes and temporary drainage
and utility easements to the overflow elevations must be obtained.
The following describes the improvements proposed for the Chain of
Lakes Outlet Project. These improvements are similar to the Chain of Lakes
outlet plan outlined in the City of Eden Prairie Drainage Plan and the
District's Overall Plan except for the modifications previously discussed.
Found Lake Outlet
The normal level for Round Lake would be established at Elevation 880
with the construction of the proposed low level outlet. For the critical
100-year frequency event with a 13 cfs outlet from the lake being provided
78 acre-feet of storage is required. This storage volume results in a
flood level of Elevation 882.4 approximately 2.4 feet higher than the
normal level on an average of once every 100 years. The outlet shown from
Round Lake follows the lake's natural overflow route to Mitchell Lake.
Oitchell Lake Outlet
Mitchell Lake is the second lake in the proposed chain of lakes
improvements. The normal elevation of Mitchell Lake is shown to be
established at Elevation 870 with the ocnstruction of the low level outlet.
Approximately 448 acre-feet of flood storage with an outlet capacity of 17
cfs is required for the critical 100-year frequency event. This frequency
runoff event will result in approximately a 4 foot increase in lake stage
to Elevation 874. The outlet alignment for Mitchell Lake is in a southerly
direction to Red Rock Lake. Two alternate alignmets for the Mitchell Lake
outlet, as previously mentioned, were examined. The Alternative 1
alignment is identical to the alignment shown in the City of Eden Prairie
Drainage Plan. The Alternate 1 outlet has capacity to serve as the trunk
storm sewer system for the urbanizing areas adjacent to alignment. The
Alternate 2 outlet from Mitchell Lake will be used only to convey the
outflow discharge from Mitchell Lake to Red Rock Lake. As the area between
the two lakes urbanizes, an additional trunk sewer system to serve these
developing areas will be required if Alternate 2 is implemented.
Red Rock Lake Outlet
The normal level of Red Rock Lake is to be established at Elevation 838
with construction of the lake's outlet. With a 100-year frequency design
outflow discharge from the lake of 25 cfs, approximately 327 acre-feet of
storage must be provided on Red Rock Lake. This will result in a
fluctuation of approximately 4.5 feet between the normal level of the lake
and the calculated flood elevation of 842.5. The proposed outlet from Red
Rock Lake follows the alignment as shown in the City Stormwater Management
Plan and the District's Overall Plan and discharges to a small pond between
Red Rock Lake and McCoy Lake. Approximately 20 acre-feet of storage at the
flood level (Elevation 830), 4 feet above the normal level (Elevation 826),
CHAIN330,0 6
and an outlet with a 35 cfs capacity is required for the small pond. The
pond outlet discharges to McCoy Lake.
&Coy Lake Outlet
The normal level of McCoy Lake would be establish at Elevation 823 with
construction of the low level outlet. Approximately 36 acre feet o
f
storage must be provided within McCoy Lake with a 30 cfs capacity outlet.
To provide for the necessary storage an earth embankment at the outlet of
McCoy Lake must be constructed. McCoy Lake outlets south into Staring
Lake. This outlet is also the outlet for the Chain of Lakes watershed.
Purgatory Creek passes through Staring Lake thus the Chain of Lake
s
watershed eventually reaches the creek.
RIGHT-OF-WAY REQUIREMENTS
Installation of the proposed Chain of Lakes Outlet Projects requires
that temporary easements and permanent easements be obtained for the
construction for the proposed drainage improvements. In general,
a
100-foot wide construction easement with a 10 foot wide permanent easement
will be required along the proposed alignments shown on Figure 2.
Properties on which easements will be required for this project are liste
d
in Table 3.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The major anticipated environmental impact of this project will be the
reduction in problems associated with flucuating lake levels on th
e
land-locked lakes in the Chain of Lakes watershed. Flucuating lake level
s
have caused erosion problems along the banks of Round, Mitchell, Red Roc
k
and McCoy Lakes. Flooding of the lakes during spring snow melt and
continued high water levels throughout the year have threatened trees and
other vegetation along the shores of the lakes, particularly on Round Lake.
Implementation of the proposed outlet project will decrease the frequenc
y
and duration of high lake levels in the Chain of Lakes watershed thereb
y
alleviating the problems.
CHAIN330,0 7
Additional impacts will be those associated with any construction
project. Disturbance to natural vegetation including clearing of some
trees along the alignments of the outlet pipes will occur. The
construction sites and the immediate surrounding areas will be impacted by
noise from the construction equipment. Construction will have some impact
on water quality in the lowlands through which the outlet pipes will pass,
however this impact will be mitigated by erosion control measures wherever
possible.
PROJECT COSTS
Construction cost for this project designed to serve as a lake outlet
and trunk sewer system is estimated to be $1,872,000 with the inclusion of
Mitchell Lake Outlet Alternate 1 and $827,000 with the inclusion of
Mitchell Lake Outlet Alternate 2. The estimated construction costs are
summarized in Table 4. Detailed cost estimates for each reach of the system
are included in Appendix B. These costs are for the trunk systems between
the lakes which have sufficient capacity to convey the critical outflow
discharge from the lake and are also designed as a trunk storm sewer to
provide sufficient capacity for the urbanizing areas within the lake's
tributary drainage area.
The cost for construction of the same system previously described, but
based on design capacities providing only the required flow discharge from
each of the lakes is estimated to be $717,000. The system required to
convey only the outflow discharge from the lakes differs from the trunk
storm sewer system previously described in that: 1) the Mitchell Lake
Alternate 1 outlet is not included and 2) the pipe size required at the
downstream of the Red Rock Lake outlet is reduced (from approximately
60-inch diameter to 27-inch diameter). The estimated construction costs
are summarized in Table 5. Detailed cost estimates for each of the lake's
outlets are included in Appendix C.
It should be noted that the costs above are for construction only and
do not include the cost for obtaining easements.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The construction of the Chain of Lakes Outlet Project is a necessary
and feasible part of the overall water resource management plan for the
District and is consistent with the Overall Plan for the District. It is
recommended that the District participate in the implementation of this
project. Project funding should be consistent with the District's
financial participation guidelines and the District's funding should be -
based on the cost for installing the pipe size necessary: to convey the
critical outflow discharge from the lakes as summarized in Table S.

RILEY-PURGATORY-BLUFF CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE OUTLETS FOR THE CHAIN OF LAKES:
ROUND LAKE, MITCHELL LAKE, RED ROCK LAKE AND McCOY LAKE
I. AUTHORITY
This petition, submitted pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota
Statutes SS 112.48 and 112.61, Subdivision 3, requests the Managers of
the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District undertake the Chain
of Lakes Outlet Project within the City of Eden Prairie. The general
concept and objectives to be gained by said project are more fully
specified on page 17 of the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed Dis-
trict Overall Plan, dated 1973, developed by the Watershed District
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 1971, Chapter 112, the Watershed Act.
The project is in conformity with the overall plan for the Riley-
Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District (hereinafter District) and is
a part of the basic water management plan of the District.
II. PURPOSE AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK PROPOSED
Fluctuating lake levels are a problem with the landlocked lakes within
this chain: Round Lake, Mitchell Lake, Red Rock Lake, and McCoy Lake.
The shoreline and banks surrounding many of the lakes show the effects
of continuously fluctuating lake levels. The purpose of the plan is to
reduce the problems associated with fluctuating levels, by installing
outlets for the lakes, and with stabilized lake levels, flood levels for
the lakes can be established and urbanization can proceed in an orderly
fashion.
III. DESCRIPTION OF THE LANDS OVER WHICH THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT IS LOCATED
The lands upon which the project improvement will be located are situ-
ated entirely in the City of Eden Prairie and are tributary to Round
Lake, Mitchell Lake, Red Rock Lake and McCoy Lake. The lands are
located in the Sections 8, 17, 20, 21 and 22, T116N, R22W.

IV. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PART OF THE DISTRICT AFFECTED
The area to be served by the proposed Chain of Lakes outlet system
includes District lands in the western portion of the Purgatory Creek
watershed that are tributary to Round Lake, Mitchell Lake, Red Rock Lake
and McCoy Lake.
V. NEED AND NECESSITY FOR THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT
The petitioner recognizes the need for the construction of outlets for
lakes in an urbanizing area. The lake outlets will stabilize lake
levels thereby allowing flood elevations to be established and enabling
development to proceed in an orderly fashion.
IV. THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT WILL BE CONDUCIVE TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, CON-
VENIENCE AND WELFARE
The City Council of Eden Prairie, on the basis of staff and consultant
reports, has determined that the proposed improvements will be con-
ducive to the public health, convenience and welfare. Completion of the
Chain of Lakes outlet system will provide a means of reducing the
problems associated with fluctuating lake levels associated with land-
locked lakes. This project will also minimize impacts on the shorelines
and banks of the landlocked basins associated with the fluctuating lake
levels.
VII. FINANCING OF THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT

Erosion Control
MEMORANDUM
At the July I, 1986, Council meeting, questions were raised regarding the
effectiveness of our current policies, as well as enforcement of, erosion control in
Eden Prairie. I have discussed this matter at length with members of City staff and
the Watershed District staff to get a perspective on the matter. The reviews are
mixed.
In general, the Engineering staff is the most displeased about the level of
enforcement that we are able to give to erosion control problems, while the
Watershed District engineer is more satisfied with the results that are obtained.
Early this Spring, before construction began in earnest, the two inspectors in our
office spent a majority of their time enforcing erosion control measures during the
Spring rainy season. Consequently, they have had a taste of the level of compliance
that can be obtained when enough effort is directed towards enforcement. As of this
writing, we have 35 public works improvements projects in some stage of completion.
These two inspectors are able to spend very little time dealing with erosion control
and the necessary "badgering" that goes along with obtaining compliance.
I discussed the matter at length with Bob Obermeyer (Barr Engineering), the
Watershed District engineer, about compliance and effectiveness of erosion control
measures as required in Eden Prairie. As you know, the Watershed Districts have
established the criteria for containing erosion to project sites and subsequent
restoration. I am informed that during 1985, the Riley Creek Watershed District and
the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District issued a combined total of 200 permits.
Certainly, a number of these permits were issued in communities other than Eden
Prairie, but the point that he was making is that there is a very high level of
activity within the Watershed District and it is his observation that we are
maintaining, or improving, overall water quality within the districts.
The Watershed Districts have monitored water quality in thirteen lakes throughout
the area since 1970 on a three-year cycle. The results have been a consistent
status quo, or improvement, at each testing period. The last testing period was in
1984. Obermeyer readily admits that improvement could be made and that it is easy
to cite specific problems, but with the above average wet cycle that we have been
through, we have "faired pretty well."
Consensus between myself and Obermeyer is that developers generally do a good job in
controlling erosion for the mass grading of their projects. The developers are
sometimes slow to revegetate the disturbed areas, but they are generally quite good
at installing perimeter containment fences. Although a specific problem such as the
Tipton site on Anderson Lakes Parkway can be cited, the primary culprit on an on-
going basis is the individual home builder. If we could gain some control over the
1/7FI
home builders and develop some form of regular street clean up in the vicinity Of
new home construction, we would make the most strides toward reducing erosion in the
coMmunity.
The Building Department conservatively estimates that, at the current time, at least
600 homes are in some stage of completion. That is to say that, at least 600 homes
have not been issued occupancy permits, :and, consequently, dO not have the yard
completely restored. As indicated above, in the Spring,: Our office was making an
attempt to enforce clean up procedures in the home building areas.. However, at the
current time only a very limited amount Of time is given to these sites,
The solution to resolving the problem of erosion from building sites would require
Code Changes and Additional staff, By necessity, CodeAvoUld:have to be :changed to
reflect a much more stringent policy and a resultant penalty/fine procedure for nen-
complianCe. In order to enforce : such a provision, at least one additional staff
meMber would be necessary on aJull-time basis. Additionally, we have discussed the
possibility of increasing the-building ,perMit fees to create fund which would
allow for a timely street sweeping process to be performed by Orivete contractors.
As you might imagine, the net effect: Of implementing these types Of policies would
be extremely unpopular and COntroVerSial.
At present, most city Staff members would agree that they have heard alot of
complaints regarding the Cost Of:tlUilding,permitt,,:An increase in fees to cover the
cost of an inspector and the cestAf street cleaning would aggravate a sensitive
issue and may result in an even more cavalier attitude towards mud and debris on the
street--"since the City will be cleaning it up with our money, anyway."
I believe that the City is a point in time that the Policies necessary to control
builders in our community can, and should, be -implemented,: However, there must be a
corresponding Code change and financial commitment towards the additional' staff:
needed to implement the plan; Furthermore, 1 -rdon!t believe it is practical to
Implement such a program in mid-year. after discussion and review, it is
determined to proceed, I Would suggest that the.. 1987 Budget reflect an additional
staff member and an appropriate budget tix.:CarrY out the program. If that person
were hired at the beginning of the year,'approximately three months yould. be
available to "gear up," make proper notification to the home builders of the pending
changes, and develop the Code modifications that would ' be requireCto implement the " . . program.
I will be available at the Council meeting to discuss this Information in more
detail.

Park and Recreation Bond Referendum Committee
At the July 1, 1986 meeting, the City Council authorized staff to proceed with
the planning for a park and recreation bond referendum that would be held
sometime in 1987. The Community Services Staff recommend that the bond
referendum include the following:
a, Community Center addition
b. Miller Park acquistion and development
c. softball field complex
d. acquisition of a park entry to the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area
In 1985 a City Needs Study Committee was formed by the Council to study
various City needs that would require a bond referendum for financing. A
subcommittee of that study committee was titled the "Athletic Facilities Study
Committee", which was made up of representatives of the various athletic
associations. The Community Services Staff would recommend that the Council
appoint a Bond Referendum Committee made up of a representative from each of
the athletic associations, as well as citizens at-large interested in this
project. The entire committee should be repsonsible for meeting with the
architect on the expansion of the Community Center to determine the program
and concept design for a Community Center addition. The overall committee
should also be responsible for reviewing the plan for Miller Park and for a
recommendation on a softball field acquisition and development project, as
well as the acquisition of the main entry to the Purgatory Creek Recreation
Area.
Staff requests authorization to contact the various athletic associations
requesting a representative that would serve on this committee, as well as
authority to publish this request for citizen participation in the Eden
Prairie News and the Sailor.
Staff will be making a recommendation of an architect to the City Council at
the August 19, 1986 meeting. Staff would request the City Council to formally
appoint members to the Park Referendum Committee at that same meeting.
Staff also requests authorization to advertise for a consultant to work with
staff on developing a grading plan and cost estimates for Miller Park.
Consultants would be required to provide a proposal for this project. Staff
would make a recommendation based on cost and experience in similar projects.
