The following items were added to the Agenda: X. A. 1.
Bentley - Request for formation of Special Task Force:
XI. 1. Set Special City Council Meeting for Tuesday, Feb-
ruary 10, 1987, for Interviewing Candidates for Board Posi-
tions.
After discussion as to the appropriate procedure, the consensus
was to continue to the next meeting the consideration of the
Housing & Redevelopment Authority minutes of January 2, 1987.
City Manager Jullie noted that Item VII. C. TECHNOLOGY
PARK 7TH, could now be placed on the Consent Calendar as the
developer has agreed to the previously-contested item in the
Developer's Agreement and has signed the agreement.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to move Item VII.
C. TECHNOLOGY PARK 7TH to the Consent Calendar as Item III. M.
Motion carried unanimously.

pleted.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to approve

paragraph 5 -- delete the entire paragraph and replace it
with the following: "As a point of information, Mayor
Peterson ccmmented that the Community Health Services Act

building. Location: East of future Golden Triangle Drive,
north of Nine Mile Creek. (Ordinance #56-86, Zoning Dis-
trict Amendment within Office District; Resolution #87-20,
Authorizing Summary and Ordering Publication)
Regarding Item B, Acceptance of Historical & Cultural
Commission's Recommendation on Holasek House, Pidcock re-
ferred to the amount quoted in the Staff Memo of January
14, 1987 of $35,000-$40,000 to move the house to the
Cummins-Grill Homestead. She questioned that amount be-
cause the original cost to move the house to its present
location was only $12,000, and the house is now all pre-
pared for moving. She said she would like this matter
re-examined.
Pidcock further noted that houses such as those at Murphy's
Landing have been moved and thus are not eligible for the
National Register or for federal or state grants yet they
are still very valuable and significant historical buildings.
Director of Community Services Lambert said he had asked
Mr. Depke, a long-time house mover from this area, about
the cost to move the house and had received a quote of
$35-$40,000 to move the house. He said that, if the His-
torical & Cultural Commission was interested in the building,
he would have gone out to get written quotes to move the
house; however, he said the Commission felt they have enough
problems caring for the two sites they have now and they
did not want to take on a third one. He said he and Sandy
Werts had inspected the building and reported back to the
Commission on its condition.
Peterson said if the Historical & Cultural Commission had
no interest in it, he didn't know why we should want to
study the issue further no matter what the cost to move it
might be.
Pidcock said she believed this has been looked at too briefly
and she would like to see further study done on it.
Bentley said he thought it must have been studied enough
to determine it wasn't eligible for the National Register
or for federal or state grants. He said he was concerned
that the structure does not seem to have a place or a pur-
pose, nor is there anyone interested in dealing with it.
Harris asked if there is any other purpose the house could
be used for other than the Historical & Cultural Commission.
Lambert said there have been a couple of Staff meetings
City Council Minutes -5- January 20, 1987
with this item on the Agenda, and to date they have not
arrived at any use for the building. He said perhaps the
best proposal was to use it as an Art Center, but that
would require extensive remodeling and renovation to make
it useful. He said a new building could probably be con-
structed for about the same cost as the cost to move and
remodel this one.
Bentley asked if there is any problem associated with con-
tinuing the item in order to review the information discussed
with the Historical & Cultural Commission and then return
with a clearer recommendation. Lambert said the current
owners have indicated that the building can be left where
it is until spring, but that they do call every two weeks
or so regarding the status of this.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to continue
this item and refer it back to Staff for further review and
study, with further review by the Historical & Cultural
Commission if the Staff study uncovers new and relevant
information. Motion carried unanimously.
Pidcock said she had questions on Item C. Fee Resolution
as to the amounts and increases in the fees.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, to delete Item C
from the Consent Calendar and add it as Item X. B. 2 on
the Agenda. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to approve
Item A and Items D - M on the Consent Calendar. Motion
carried unanimously.
IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. MEADOW PARK 3RD ADDITION, by J B & D, Inc. Request for
Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Public Open Space to
Low Density Residential on approximately 13.5 acres, Zoning
District Change from Rural to R1-13.5, and Preliminary Plat
of 31.5 acres into 29 single family lots and one outlot and
road right-of-way. Location: Northwest quadrant of Home-
war4 Hills Road and Sunnybrook Road. Continued Public
Hear rig from December 16, 1986 (Resolution #86-292, Com-
prehensive Guide Plan Amendment; Ordinance #58-86, Rezoning;
Resolution #86-293, Preliminary Plat)
City Manager Jullie said this item was continued from the
December 16th meeting to allow time for consideration of
the response from the DNR regarding possible incursion to
the wetland area on the northern balance of the property.
City Council Minutes -6- January 20, 1987
Planning Director Enger said the DNR determined that four
of the proposed lots encroached on the preserved waters
area and the developer then dropped those four lots from
the project. He said the Planning Commission and Staff
recommend approval of the project.
Bentley asked if the road on the north is still platted
on the adjacent property. Harold Peterson, representing
proponent, responded that this has been resolved with
Mr. Williams, the adjacent property owner. He said pro-
ponent has a verbal agreement whereby Williams will give
them an easement and in return proponent will build the
improvements at no cost to Mr. Williams. Mr. Peterson
said the agreements will be written up and submitted as
soon as possible.
Bentley asked Director of Public Works Dietz if it is nor-
mal policy to build a city-owned street with just an ease-
ment. Dietz replied that we do have roads constructed on
easements, including some in the Major Center Area, but
the City does prefer to have title to the property. Dietz
noted that when Mr. Williams' property is platted in the
future, we would require dedication at that time.
Bentley asked if this project can be built without the
improvements to Sunnybrook Road. Enger said the improve-
ments are required. Bentley then noted that Council action
on the petition for Sunnybrook Road street and utility
improvements that will be considered as a later item on
the Agenda will have an impact on this project.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to close the
Public Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 86-292 amending
the Comprehensive Guide Plan from Public Open Space to Low
Density Residential on approximately 13.5 acres. Motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to give 1st
Reading of Ordinance No. 58-86 for rezoning from Rural to
R1-13.5. Motion carried unanimoualyT
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to adopt Reso-
lution No. 86-293, approving the Preliminary Plat of Meadow
Park 3rd Addition for J B & D, Inc. Motion carried unani-
mously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to direct
Staff to prepare a Developer's Agreement incorporating
Commission and Staff recommendations.
City Council Minutes -7- January 20, 1987
Dietz noted that there had been discussion at the Public
Hearing on December 2nd relative to the placement of a
sidewalk along the west side of Homeward Hills Road from
the housing area to Anderson Lakes Parkway. He said Staff
has determined this would be difficult to build but that it
can be done; however, it would have to be done with City
funds. He said he does not have an estimate at this time
and that it will have to be included in the budget at some
future time.
Bentley asked if Staff has recommended that proponent be
asked to construct the sidewalk to the northern end of the
property. Dietz said they would be asked to construct it
to the point where the property is not buildable.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
B. SUBURBAN NATIONAL BANK/PRESERVE MEDICAL BUILDING, by
Supplee's 7-H.I. Enterprises, Inc. Request for Comprehen-
sive Guide Plan Change from Low Density Residential to
Office on 1.09 acres, Zoning District Change from Rural to
Office on 1.09 acres with variances to be reviewed by the
Board of Appeals and Preliminary Plat of 1.09 acres into
one lot for the construction of a two-story office building.
Location: South of Anderson Lakes Parkway, west of County
Road #18. (Resolution #86-305, Comprehensive Guide Plan
Amendment; Ordinance #62-86, Rezoning; Resolution #86-306,
Preliminary Plat) Continued Public Hearing from December
16, 1986
Planning Director Enger said proponent has requested a
delay in their presentation to the Planning Commission;
therefore, it would be appropriate to continue this item
to the February 17th meeting of the Council.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, to continue
this item to the February 17, 1987 meeting of the City
Council. Motion carried unanimously.
C. Vacation of Drainage and Utility Easements in Ridgewood
West Plat 3 (S.E. corner of Cumberland Road and Knollwood
Drive) Resolution No. 87-17
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing
had been published and property owners within the project
vicinity had been notified.
Bentley asked if this was primarily a housekeeping item.
Jullie said it was.
There were no comments from the audience.
City Council Minutes -8- January 20, 1987
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to close the
Public Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 87-17, Vacation
of Drainage and Utility Easements in Ridgewood West Plat
Three. Motion carried unanimously.
V. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS NOS. 32219 - 32449
Regarding Item 32230 to Mark VII Sales in the amount of $29.40
for wine, Harris asked why this is a much smaller amount than
other such payments. Bentley suggested it could have been a
special order. Jullie said he would check into it and get back
at the next meeting.
Regarding Item 32292, Peterson asked whether items such as
these purchased from Chanhassen Lawn & Sports could not be
purchased within Eden Prairie. Jullie said he would check on
that also.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to approve the
Payment of Claims Nos. 32219 - 32449. Roll call vote: Bentley,
Harris, Pidcock and Peterson voted "aye." Motion carried unani-
mously.
VI. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS

Continued from December 16, 1986
Director of Public Works Dietz said it was appropriate to
receive the petition from proponents for Meadow Park 3rd
Addition for improvements to Sunnybrook Road inasmuch as
the project was approved tonight. He said Staff recommends
the preparation of a Feasibility Report on the improvements.
MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to adopt Reso-
lution No. 86-300, authorizing preparation of a Feasibility
Report for Sunnybrook Road Street and Utility Improvements
(west of Homeward Hills Road, adjacent to Meadow Park 3rd

Southwest Suburban Cable Commission.
Pidcock asked how often the Commission meets. City Manager
Jullie said the full Commission meets once a quarter.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
Pidcock asked Jullie about the current activities of the
Cable Commission. Jullie responded that one of the issues
coming up is the establishment of an institutional network
He described the proposed network and some of the questions
and issues involved in such a network. He also noted that
the School District has expressed concern about possible
erosion of the cable company's commitment to public access
and said we have asked the cable company to respond to
that concern. A discussion followed regarding the relation-
ships of the School District and the City to the cable
company.
X. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS & COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Council Members
1. Bentley - Request for formation of Special Task Force
Bentley noted that the PUD for the Major Center Area
was put together in 1973-1974 and many things have
happened in the meantime to impact the direction that
was envisioned for the area. He said there is a lot
of pressure for development on the undeveloped parcels
in the Major Center Area and, under the current desig-
nations, we have no concept control over development
City Council Minutes -10- January 20, 1 987
there except through the normal review control. He
said there are also some on-going transportation con-
cerns that should probably also be addressed.
Bentley said he was proposing that we form a task force
made up of two or three Councilmembers, the City Manager,
the Planning Director and two other individuals that
would; (1) review the existing Major Center Area PUD
relative to how current development has impacted that
PUD; (2) make an effort to draw input from the property
owners in the Major Center Area as well as others as to
what type of development is being envisioned; and (3)
formulate our own ideas as to what types of development
we would like to see occur, such as establishing a
store-front type of shopping area or establishing some
sort of special use area. He said this would also lead
to looking at such issues as the need for intersection
work at the intersection of Prairie Center Drive and
Hwy. 5.
Bentley said he suggested that the task force have no
particular time-line placed upon it and that the meetings
be workshop-type meetings open to the public. He said
they could then come back to the Council when a report
is ready for review, go from there to the Planning Com-
mission for a formal review process, and then return
to the City Council for any ultimate action.
Pidcock said she thought it sounded wonderful and that
it falls under strategic planning. Bentley said, while
it very likely does fall under strategic planning, he
is concerned that some of the prerogatives we have in
that area today may not be available if we wait for the
strategic planning process to be completed. He said
he thought it was an important enough issue that nothing
will be hurt by pulling it out of the strategic planning
process and putting it into this framework and in addi-
tion, might indicate the concern the Council has for
what the development of this area will be.
Pidcock said we could start the process with that.
Peterson said that we would probably extract this from
the strategic planning process anyway in order to look
at it individually because of the magnitude of the
project.
Pidcock commented that she has wanted to get us working
on a strategic plan for two years now. Bentley said
this could plug into that as part of the process.
Harris said she thought there was a certain immediacy
about that area and, considering the complexity of
City Council Minutes -11- January 20, 1987
developing that area, she thought it probably does
warrant some special attention. She said she was not
clear on where we are in the whole strategic planning
process.
City Manager Jullie said we have received a couple of
proposals from facilitators of strategic planning and
Staff is meeting with one of them in a couple of weeks
to get more details. He said he would like to have some
time to review the results of that meeting to make sure
that is the best approach for us.
Harris asked if it would take about two years before
the final results were in place. Jullie said that
going through the exercises and getting a plan in place
would be six months or so, but we would then have to
implement some kind of action plan.
Peterson noted one of the most significant rationales
for this proposal is that we might be able to make some
more specific types of designation within the Major
Center Area. He asked City Attorney Pauly what the
legal parameters are in regard to specifying types of
development. Pauly said the Council would have to
reverse the procedure used to date whereby the developer
comes in and requests rezoning by taking the initiative -
and pre-zoning particular parcels for a specific class
of use.
Bentley said the purpose of the task force would be to
review the current development, gather data, discuss it
and then come back with some suggestions. He said in
the process we may find some way of accommodating a
third alternative.
Peterson asked Enger and Jullie for their comments.
Jullie said he thought it would be a good exercise
but his primary concern would be the Staff time required
for a real in-depth study. Jullie said he would suggest
the possibility of consultant help for much of the tech-
nical work and that such help might enhance the credi-
bility of the work to the community.
Bentley said he thought the best course might be to
start with the task force committee and see if there
is a need for a consultant. He said they could then
come back to the Council and make a specific request
for funding if it appears there would be large amounts
of work to be done.
City Council Minutes -12- January 20, 1987
Planning Director Enger said he would like to prepare
a status report of current development in the Major
Center Area because of what such a task force study
might lead into. He said he felt the primary need for
such a study is that since we have so little land
left in the Major Center Area that isn't spoken for
and planned, we should determine if we have specific
uses in mind for the land that remains. He said he
could get back to the Council at the next meeting
with a report summarizing the composite view of the
land use of the Major Center Area.
COUNCILMEMBER ANDERSON ARRIVED AT 8:25 PM.
Harris said she liked Mr. Enger's suggestion and felt
that such a report would give a point of reference to
further discussion of the issue.
MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to direct
Staff to prepare a status report of development in the
Major Center Area to be presented at the next Council
meeting as background for further discussion of the
suggestion for establishing a task force on develop-
ment of the Major Center Area.
Bentley expressed his concern that because those prop-
erties left are coming under intense pressure for
development, any lengthy delay in making a decision
on doing this might preclude our ability to do it.
Pidcock said this may give impetus to our strategic
planning.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
2. Fee Resolution (Resolution No. 87-09)
City Manager Jullie said he would like to continue
this item to the next meeting so that the information
could be presented to show last year's fees as well as
the proposed fees for 1987. He said the changes for
1987 are fairly minor.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Bentley, to con-
tinue this item to the February 3rd meeting of the
City Council. Motion carried unanimously.
B. Report of City Manager
1. Authorization to remove house adjacent to the Public
Safety Department on Mitchell Road
City Council Minutes -13- January 20, 1987
City Manager Jullie noted that this is the house called
the Schulz property south of the Public Safety building.
He said the Public Safety officer who had been renting
it has now moved out. While PROP was initially interested
in using the property, he said they have since declined
to pursue it. He said Staff believes it would be better
in the long-term to have the house removed from the
property because it is in need of major maintenance
work. He asked for authorization to offer the house
for sale.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to offer
the house adjacent to the Public Safety. Department on Mitchell Road for sale with the understanding that it
will be removed from the property. Motion carried unani-
mously.
C. Report of City Attorney
There was no report.
D. Report of Director of Community Services
There was no report.
E. Report of Director of Public Works
1. Award Contract from Homeward Hills Road, 52-" 03A (Resolution No. 87-18)
Director of Public Works Dietz reviewed the bids
received for improvements to Homeward Hills Road
and noted the recommendation to award the contract
in the amount of $370,456.40 to Rice Lake Contracting
as the lowest responsible bidder.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to
adopt Resolution No. 87-18, accepting the bid of
Rice Lake Contracting in the -amount of $370,456.40 for I.C. 52-033A, Homeward Hills Road improvement,
Anderson said he has some concerns about upgrading
that road without a defined crossing area being
established for the new elementary school on Ander-
son Lakes Parkway. He said he would like to hav e this investigated to determine whether a signal
light or underpass is required before the school
opens this fall. He said this improvement to
Homeward Hills Road will open the entire corridor
-14-
up to Anderson Lakes Parkway and will increase the
traffic around the new school.
Peterson suggested that this issue be a separate
motion.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Roll call vote: Anderson,
Bentley, Harris, Pidcock and Peterson voted "aye."
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Pidcock to
direct Staff to review the issue of a safe crossing
for the new elementary school and park on Anderson
Lakes Parkway and to return to the Council with
recommendations on where and how the crossing will
be effected.
Bentley said he was not sure Staff understood what
was expected of them. City Manager Jullie said he
thought the reference was to some sort of signal
device for an at-grade protected crossing in addi-
tion to the existing underpass. Anderson said that
was correct, and that he did not want to pay the
bussing costs for children living across the street
from the school when we can plan now to provide a
safe crossing.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
XI. NEW BUSINESS
1. Set Special City Council Meeting for Tuesday, February 10,

Boardroom for the purpose of interviewing candidates for
Board and Commission appointments. Motion carried unani-
mously.

IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
City Council Minutes -3- February 3, 1987
A. THE TREE FARM by Countryside Investments, Inc. Request
for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Public Open Space
to Low Density Residential on 11.3 acres, Zoning District
Change from Rural to R1-13.5 on 33.6 acres, Preliminary
Plat of 33.6 acres into 72 single family lots and road
right-of-way. Location: South of County Road 1, west of
Surrey Street. (Resolution No. 87-23 - Comprehensive Guide
Plan Amendment; Ordinance No. 1-87 - Rezoning; Resolution
No. 87-24 - Preliminary Plat)
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing
had been published and property owners within the project
vicinity had been notified.
Ron Krueger, representing proponent, addressed the proposal.
Planning Director Enger noted this item was first reviewed
by the Planning Commission at the November 24, 1986 meeting,
at which time it was continued to the January 12, 1987
meeting to allow time for the resolution of questions re-
garding the density of housing in an area designated as
Safety Zone B. He said the Planning Commission at the
January 12th meeting recommended approval on a 5-0 vote
of the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from Public Open
Space to Low Density Residential on 11.3 acres, rezoning
from Rural to R1-13.5 on 33.6 acres and Preliminary Plat
of 33.6 acres into 72 single family lots and road right-of-
way, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Reports
of November 21, 1986 and January 9, 1987.
Enger said the Planning Commission also recommended that the
developer be responsible for providing directional signage
regarding the location of the B.F.I. landfill, Flying Cloud
Airport, and the future trail and, further, that the develop-
er be responsible for providing this information in writing
to future residents.
Director of Community Services Lambert said the Parks,
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission reviewed this
item last night and recommended approval on a 7-0 vote,
per the recommendations of the Planning Commission and
Staff. He said the discussion at the meeting revolved
around the sidewalk system which the developer then agreed
to revise as shown tonight.
Anderson asked if there would be any covenants required
that would keep landowners adjacent to the large group of
pine trees from cutting down any of those trees that might
be on their property. Lambert responded that the City
Forester has recommended selective cutting of the trees
to improve the overall growth.
City Council Minutes -4- February 3, 1987
Anderson replied that he was not concerned with any neces-
sary thinning process but rather with protection for the
homeowners who purchase their property assuming that the
tree stand will remain. Lambert said the current ordinance
requires a permit to remove more than 10% of the vegeta-
tion but he didn't know of anything beyond that.
City Attorney Pauly noted that the City does impose con-
servation easements along creek corridors and other special
places but that he was not sure such an easement could be
applied in this instance. He said if the developer were
agreeable to including such a restriction in the covenant
entered into by the landowner, it would be effective from
an enforcement viewpoint.
Krueger said the developer is willing to include some cove-
nants but it would require working out the language. He
said he thought it was a good idea but was concerned about
who enforces it once the homes are built and the covenants
are in place. Pauly responded that it can be enforced by
all the homeowners on the lots against each other and that
the City could also have the same enforcement authority
if it could be structured as a conservation easement.
Anderson asked Mr. Pauly where approving this development
would leave the City in regard to possible expansion of
the landfill. Pauly responded that the most obvious effect
would be more people who might claim that expansion of the
landfill would be detrimental to their property. Pauly
also questioned whether it would be appropriate to, in
effect, tell the current owner that he can't use his land
because of the existence of the landfill and because it
may be expanded someday.
Anderson then asked if, legally, it is a benefit or not a
benefit to the City for this subdivision to be platted at
this time. Pauly said it has the potential of creating more
people who ultimately might be entitled to some sort of
compensation. He said he did not think the City could pre-
clude the development on an indefinite basis for that reason
alone.
Anderson expressed concern about the potential problems
with airport noise, particularly in view of the problems
experienced in Minneapolis. Pauly responded that it would
be necessary to distinguish between a general zoning
adopted by the City for the benefit of the City as a whole
and the type of zoning adopted for an end in itself, in this
case an airport use.
Pidcock referred to the memo of January 23rd from Jean
Bitter and the Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission
City Council Minutes -5- February 3, 1987
and asked if there is a designated distance that a project
must be from the end of a runway. Enger said the southern
portion of this property is designated as the B Safety Zone
by the Dept. of Transportation. He said the A-zone is the
closest to the runway and nothing should be built in that
zone, while the B-zone has restrictions as to density and
type of building. He said the response from MNDOT indi-
cates that this development meets the criteria for develop-
ment within the B-zone.
Bentley asked if M.A.C. is currently looking at any noise
abatement studies for Flying Cloud airport. Enger replied
that the new noise contours for Flying Cloud proposed by
the Metropolitan Council are in tighter to the airport and
this may be indicative of some operational changes that
the Met Council might suggest.
Bentley noted that in the past we have encouraged developers
to issue disclosure notices at the time the purchase agree-
ment is signed and asked whether we should consider dis-
closure notice regarding the airport noise potential, the
landfill and the possible expansion of the landfill. Pauly
replied that he thought it would be a good idea if the
developer was in agreement with the suggestion.
Mr. Krueger said they had agreed to put signs up at the
entrance of the project showing the location of the surround-
ing facilities. Bentley asked if the developer would have
any objection to disclosure statements that would be signed
as part of the purchase agreement. Arvid Schwartz, the
developer of the project, said it would depend on how it
was worded, particularly in regard to the possible expan-
sion of the landfill.
Bentley then suggested that the developer could work with
Staff or Mr. Pauly's office to work out a properly-worded
disclosure statement for buyers of the property. Mr. Schwartz
said he would not object to the City working with them to
draw up such a statement. Peterson-noted that he was not
particularly confident that such a disclosure statement
will produce the desired results in view of such things as
possible resale of the properties at a later date or the
developer not developing all of the property.
Anderson asked if there is any terminology that can be
placed in the deed for the property. Pauly said he didn't
believe it was possible to have such language recorded
on a deed and that it is difficult to make people aware
of such things on resale of property.
City Council Minutes -6- February 3, 1987
Pidcock asked when the original public notice went out
and to how many adjoining property owners. Enger replied
that notices are usually sent two weeks prior to the Council
meeting and that the notices are typically sent according
to quarter sections around the project.
There were no comments from the audience.
Harris asked about the status of the trail proposed for
the project. Kruger responded that, while the City Staff
recommended a blacktop trail through the outlot, there is
nowhere for it to go at this time so the Parks Commission
agreed that a sidewalk system in the project with an ex-
tension into the park would be sufficient.
Peterson asked if the trail at the base of the cul-de-sac
on the south is to be sidewalk or bituminous trail. Krueger
said it will be a 5-foot sidewalk. Lambert commented that
the sidewalk in that location is going between two homes,
that they have requested there be a 15-foot setback from
both of the adjacent homes, and that the sidewalk be on
an easement on the lot line.
Anderson asked if it would be possible to bring the cul-de-
sac down to the edge of the park property to facilitate
entry of maintenance equipment into the park. Lambert said
that would be a better idea but he wasn't sure how it could
be done without proponent losing a lot. Enger said it may
be possible to extend the cul-de-sac without losing a lot
if it were treated as a through street.
Peterson asked what the projected surface would be beyond
the end of the cul-de-sac if the street were extended.
Director of Public Works Dietz said that possibly the
terminus of the cul-de-sac could be on park property.
Peterson noted that if a bituminous trail goes beyond the
end of the cul-de-sac, we have invited the problem of
vehicular traffic using that as an access to the park.
Anderson said he has seen various types of gateposts and
pillars used in the Hennepin County park system and in
other cities in the area. Peterson said he understood that
for safety purposes we can't put obstructions on the trails.
Lambert said it is possible to design a permanent fence
and a gate system that is very visible to avoid safety
problems. A discussion followed as to how access could
be restricted and yet allow access to maintenance vehicles.
Pidcock said that she understood from the reading material
we are not legally Zone B here and that we can't legally
have the restrictions that Zone B would have. Enger res-
ponded that, while the Zone B concept has been proposed
City Council Minutes -7- February 3, 1987
as a model ordinance, it has never been legally adopted.
He said, however, that MnDOT has said this would meet the
criteria of Zone B should it be adopted.
Krueger asked for clarification of the extension of the cul-
de-sac as the developer would have some concerns about
people using it as parking for Homeward Hills Park. He
said the developer would be willing to work this out with
Staff.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the
Public Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 87-23, amending
the Comprehensive Municipal Plan from Public Open Space to
Low Density Residential. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to give 1st
Reading of Ordinance No. 1-87 for Rezoning from Rural to
R1-13.5 on 33.6 acres. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt
Resolution No. 87-24, approving the Preliminary Plat of
The Tree Farm for Countryside Investments, Inc. Motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to direct
Staff to prepare a Developer's Agreement incorporating
Commission and Staff recommendations, with the understand-
ing that the following items will be resolved prior to
2nd Reading: the extension of the cul-de-sac; the issue
of retention of the trees; the completion of an acceptable
disclosure notice; and the setting up of a method of dis-
seminating the notice to future property owners. Motion
carried unanimously.
B. CARMEL 6 & 7 by Hans Hagen Homes, Inc. Request for Planned
Unit Development Concept Amendment on approximately 58 acres,
Planned Unit Development District Review within an R1-13.5
zoning district on 16.26 acres with variances for lot fron-
tage, zoning district change from Rural to R1-13.5 on 0.66 acres, and preliminary platting of 16.26 acres into 27 s
single family lots and road right-of-way. Location: North
of Fallbrook Road and East of Thornhill Road. (Resolution
No. 87-25 - Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment;
Ordinance 2-87-PUD-1-87 - Rezoning; Resolution No. 87-26 -
Preliminary Plat)
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing
had been published and property owners within the project
vicinity had been notified.
Ernie Rud, representing proponent, addressed the proposal.
City Council Minutes -8- February 3, 1987
Planning Director Enger said this is basically a rearrange-
ment of lots to provide ultimate access to the park and
to get away from double frontage on some of the original
lots. He said the Planning Commission reviewed this item
on January 12th and recommended approval on a 5-0 vote,
subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report of
January 9th.
Director of Community Services Lambert said that the Parks,
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission reviewed this item
at the February 2nd meeting and recommended approval on a
7-0 vote, subject to the recommendations of the Planning
Commission and Staff Reports of January 9th and January 30th.
Pidcock asked where this project is in relation to the
Ruzic property. Enger replied that it is to the northwest
of that property.
Anderson asked if it would be possible to provide the same
sort of extension of the cul-de-sac to allow access to the
park as was discussed for the previous item. Lambert said
that would be difficult as one of the houses at the end of
the cul-de-sac would then be pushed into the marsh.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Pidcock, to close the
Public Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 87-25, approving
the Carmel 6 & 7 POD Concept Amendment to the overall Carmel
POD. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Pidcock, to give 1st
Reading of Ordinance No. 2-87-PUD-1-87 approving rezoning
from Rural to R1-13.5 on 0.66 acres. Motion carried unani-
mously.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Harris, to adopt Reso-
lution No. 87-26, approving the Preliminary Plat of Carmel
6 & 7 for Hans Hagen Homes, Inc. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Harris, to direct
Staff to prepare amendments to the Developer's Agreement
incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations. Motion
carried unanimously.
C MITCHELL ESTATES by Ray Mitchell. Request for Zoning Dis-
trict Change from Rural to R1-13.5 on 1.04 acres and Pre-
liminary Platting of 1.04 acres into two lots and road
right-of-way. Location: Southeast quadrant of Scenic
Heights Road and Hiawatha Avenue. (Ordinance No. 3-87 -
Rezoning; Resolution No. 87-27 - Preliminary Plat)
City Council Minutes -9- February 3, 1987
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing
had been published and property owners within the project
vicinity had been notified.
Planning Director Enger said this is the division of a
1.04 acre lot into two lots. He said the Planning Com-
mission reviewed the item at the January 12th meeting and
recommended approval on a 5-0 vote of the rezoning from
Rural to R1-13.5 and the Preliminary Plat.
Peterson asked if Mr. Mitchell has already purchased the
H.T.C. home. Enger said he believed he had. Peterson
then asked if it would be compatible with other homes in
the area. Enger responded that the Votech homes are given
a manufactured housing stamp from the State of Minnesota
and do not go through the Board of Appeals process for
moving a home. Enger said it will appear different because
the style is different and because the other homes in that
area are about 20 years old. Pidcock noted that there were
no two story homes permitted in that area when the other
homes were built.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the
Public Hearing and to give 1st Reading of Ordinance No.
3-87, Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-13.5 on 1.04
acres. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to adopt Reso-
lution No. 87-27 approving the Preliminary Plat of Mitchell
Estates for Ray Mitchell. Motion carried unanimously.
V. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS NOS. 32450 - 32758
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to approve the
Payment of Claims Nos. 32450 - 32758. Roll call vote: Anderson,
Bentley, Harris, Pidcock and Peterson voted "aye." Motion
carried unanimously.
VI. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS
A. Final Plat Approval for Bluffs East Fourth Addition, includ-
ing Wilkie Request for Access (Resolution No. 87-29)
City Manager Jullie said this is the last step in the sub-
division zoning and development approval for the Bluffs
East 4th Addition. He said the Preliminary Plat of this
project was approved on May 20, 1986, and, prior to that
approval, the owners of the Wilkie property requested that
the City require, as a condition of final plat approval,
that access be provided to the Wilkie property which adjoins
-10 - February 3, 1987 City Council Minutes
the Bluffs East 4th Addition. He said the Wilkies have
renewed that request before the final plat approval, as
presented in the letter of January 27th with supporting
materials from John C. Rosholt, attorney for the Wilkies.
He noted the memorandum of December 29, 1986, from City
Attorney Pauly on the subject.
Wally Hustad, proponent, reviewed the discussions he had
with the Wilkies regarding their request for access. He
said proponent had refused the request because: (1) it
would violate some of the planning criteria set up for
the Creek Knolls project back in 1972 that provided pro-
tection for some of the knolls along the bluffs; and (2)
from a marketing standpoint, a structure on the Wilkie
property would interfere substantially with the views on
five or six of proponent's lots and thus would impact the
value of those lots.
Jack Rosholt, attorney for the Wilkies, said that if this
request for access is denied, the Wilkies will be losing
eight acres of very valuable land. Referring to City
Attorney Pauly's memorandum of December 29, 1986, he said
that it has been assumed that the Wilkie property could
not be used as a private lot; however, he showed a plan
that would provide one buildable lot. He said the public
is losing an opportunity for a possible contribution of
the Wilkies' property if this final plat is approved.
Anderson asked Rosholt if there is a possibility that the
Wilkies might give or donate that eight acres to the City.
Roshold said "yes." Anderson then asked Director of
Community Services Lambert if there is any value in ob-
taining this property. Lambert responded that the City
would like to ultimately own or control this part of the
Purgatory Creek valley for preservation purposes and so it
would be in the public good to obtain it.
Anderson said he had not heard of this possibility until
today and that he felt we are obligated to take a look at
something that would be of value to the citizens of Eden
Prairie. Peterson said it is unfortunate that we didn't
hear about this months ago when the project was first dis-
cussed. Peterson expressed concern about the condition
that there be a road along the creek and that the area be
replatted. He said for those reasons he had difficulty in
taking the suggestion seriously.
Bentley said the preservation of that area would be no less
valuable with the approval of this plat than it would be if
the plat were denied and an alternate plat were made. He
City Council Minutes February 3, 1987
said approval or denial of this plat should have no bearing
on the City's position regarding acceptance of this property.
He said acceptance of the property as a donation would
have to be made contingent on recommendations from the
Planning Staff, Parks Commission, etc.
Anderson asked how the public will access that parcel of
land if the plat is approved and the Wilkies donate the
property anyway. Lambert said that with the Bluffs East
4th, 5th and 6th projects there were several outlots along
the creek valley that were to be donated to the City, and
as part of that donation they will build a public trail down
into the creek valley that would provide access to this
parcel. He said we want to limit access to the creek valley
and he believes we have planned for the best access points.
Pidcock asked City Attorney Pauly to clarify the cases he
cited in his memorandum of December 29, 1986. Pauly said
he cited those cases for the purpose of indicating that a
municipality has the right during the planning and develop-
ment process to require a reasonable portion of the property
under development for public use. He said we have already
rezoned the property and entered into a contract that the
property will be developed in the manner in which it was
preliminarily approved.
For the record, Peterson quoted the following portion of
page 7 of Mr. Pauly's memorandum referring to the Wilkie
property:
'It was purchased without any easement. The purchase
price of the land presumably reflected that lack
of accessability. Since the owners never did have
have public access, they can't claim that the sub-
division plan caused their problems.
In addition, any 'hardship' they may claim appears
to fall under the 'self imposed hardship doctrine.'
Under this doctrine, one can not seek to alter
zoning regulations and decisions on the basis of
'hardship' if the hardship is self-created. 8 Mc-
Quillan 3rd Sec. 25.168 (1983). In this case the
owners of the parcel purchased it without an ease-
ment over the Developer's land for access. It is
not the responsibility of the City to assist them
out of this dilema."
Peterson noted that the Council did try to resolve this
dilemma by encouraging both parties to work this out be-
tween themselves; therefore, he felt the Council has done
what we can in this matter.
City Council Minutes -12- February 3, 1987
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to adopt
Resolution No. 87-29, approving Final Plat of Bluffs East
Fourth Addition.
Mr. Rosholt said if the public isn't going to have access
to the creek valley and if all the land along the valley
is going to be developed, then the Wilkies ought to be able
to develop theirs; however, if the creek valley is to be
used by the public, then the Wilkies would like to partici-
pate in that. He said either way this plat represents
giving one person an opportunity to do something and deny-
ing that opportunity to another person.
Peterson noted that Mr. Hustad has been prevented from
developing certain points out into the valley and if this
property were owned by him he would not be allowed to
build out on that promontory. Mr. Rosholt said it was
their understanding that this knoll is capable of develop-
ment and that they have a plan that conforms to the zoning
ordinance.
Harris asked if the Wilkies could gain access to this
property from their land on the other side of the creek.
Mr. Rosholt responded that it would be practically im-
possible as it is a very steep ravine and the only possibil-
ity would be a bridge across Purgatory Creek.
Anderson said, since we have not had an opportunity to get
information on the donation of this property, he would like
to have more time to get more information and to take a
good look at what is in the best interests of the people
of Eden Prairie.
MOTION: Anderson moved to postpone consideration of Reso-
lution No. 87-29 for final plat approval of Bluffs East
Fourth Addition to the next meeting of the Council.
Motion died for lack of a second.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried with Anderson opposed.
VII. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Request from Prairie Lutheran Church to review the Board
of Appeals & Adjustments decision on Variance Request #87-04
Merrill Ronning, pastor of Prairie Lutheran Church, presented
their request to review the decision by the Board of Appeals
& Adjustments. He said the building was initially designed
to be all wood in order to fit into the surrounding resi-
dential area and they initially requested a variance for
100% wood.
City Council Minutes -13-
He said that the Board of Appeals granted a variance to
permit 35% wood and 65% brick. He said the bids received
for such an exterior were extremely high so they then re-
quested a variance to allow initial construction of 100%
wood with 30% brick to be added within five years. The
Board of Appeals then granted a variance to allow initial
construction of 70% wood and 30% brick. He said they are
now requesting a review of the decision in order to allow
exterior construction of 100% wood.
Planning Director Enger referred to the Staff Reports of
January 28, 1987, January 8, 1987, and September 4, 1986,
and the letter from Prairie Lutheran Church of January 12,
1987. He said in reviewing the record of appeals and
decisions on this project he determined that the appeal
tonight would have to be an appeal of the Board of Appeals
& Adjustments decision on their request for 70% wood and
30% brick to be added within five years, and not the appeal
for 100% wood.
A discussion followed as to the nature of their appeal to-
night. A recess was taken to allow time for determination
of their exact request to the Council.
Following the recess, Enger explained that the request is
for an appeal of the decision on the time limit for adding
the brick. He said the proponents would like to add the
required 30% brick to the Phase 1 construction at the time
of the construction of Phase 2, which is expected to occur
within five years.
Peterson asked if the 30% brick will be less aesthetically
pleasing since it had been determined that all wood is
aesthetically better. Roger Sjobeck, architect for the
proponent, said it might be since the original design was
for all wood and the building might have been designed
differently if they had considered brick during the planning
stage.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to grant the
request from Prairie Lutheran Church for appeal of the
Board of Appeals & Adjustments decision, per the Staff
recommendation that, at the time of expansion, 30% brick
will be required for the exterior on the present structure
and on the future structure. Motion carried unanimously.
B. BIRCHWOOD LABS, INC. Request for Preliminary Platting of
16.5 acres into four lots. Location: East of County Road
4, west of Fuller Road, north of Lincoln Lane. (Resolution
No. 87-28 - Preliminary Plat)
City Council Minutes -14- February 3, 1987
Planning Director Enger referred to the Staff Report of
January 23, 1987, and noted that none of the proponents
are in attendance at the meeting tonight. He said he
could try to answer questions the Council might have re-
garding the preliminary plat.
Bentley said he was not sure Mr. Enger should be the one
to answer any questions the Council might have; therefore,
he thought perhaps the item should be continued until such
time as the proponents can be present.
Anderson said this is a question of procedure and the direc-
tion in the past has been to continue the item until pro-
ponent can attend the meeting.
Pidcock asked if it would be in the best interests of the
Planning Staff to continue this item. Enger said it would be a favor to both the Council and Staff to dispose of the
request tonight if there are no questions about the item.
MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to adopt Resolu-tion No. 87-28, approving the Preliminary Plat of Birchwood
Labs, Inc. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to direct Staff
to prepare a Developer's Agreement incorporating Staff
recommendations. Motion carried unanimously.
Bentley suggested that this procedure be discussed at a
Staff meeting and that Staff return with a recommendation
for similar situations in the future, inasmuch as he was
uncomfortable considering such items without the proponents
present. Anderson said his concern is that we are consis-
tent. A discussion followed regarding the need for such a
procedure and how the situation would have been handled if
questions had been asked about the project.
C. Receive request from Hoyt Development for extension of
Golden Triangle Drive and authorize preparation of a Feasibility Study (Resolution No. 87-32)
City Manager Jullie said this is a request from Hoyt Devel-
opment for the City to initiate a Feasibility Study as the
first step in the possible extension of Golden. Triangle
Drive between 76th and 74th Street. He said it is under-
stood that the road should be built but there is a question
as to the timing.
Bradley Hoyt, proponent, reviewed the request for a Feasi-
bility Study. He said they have concerns about traffic
circulation within the area and there are problems with
City Council Minutes -15-
February 3, 1987
water pressure due to the lack of a complete water main
loop. He said they believe it would serve as a relieving
route for Washington Avenue for north and south traffic
within the triangle. In addition, he said, while there
is no time frame under which the dedication of the right-
of-way is required, they don't feel we can uphold the
values of the property without this additional access.
George Hoff, representing the Relies, said they oppose the
proposed extension of Golden Triangle Drive as an assesse
d
project at this time as proposed by Hoyt Development and
that the proposed extension is on Mr. Helle's property.
He said their Developer's Agreement says that they would
dedicate the roadway and pay to have the roadway and util
i
-
ties installed when they rezone and plat the property. H
e
said they intend to do that at sometime, but they are not
in a position to develop the property at this time.
Hoff said that, at this point, if the Council were to ord
e
r
a Feasibility Study as the first step in proceeding with
the Chapter 429 approval, their position is that Mr. Hell
e
would not be required to dedicate the roadway and would
expect to be compensated for it. In addition, he said
there is valuable fill which can be used in other areas of
Mr. Helle's property, and they would expect to be compen-
sated for any of that fill used to construct the roadway.
In addition, Hoff said if the project goes through on a
premature basis, they don't think there would be sufficien
t
benefit to support an assessment against the property for
the road construction. He also said they were not sure th
e
roadway might not create additional traffic problems rathe
r
than solve them.
Hoff said their request is that the project not go ahead
as an assessment as the City's project or, if there is a
Feasibility Study, the additional costs he outlined previou
s
-
ly be programmed into the study.
- Bentley asked if they are suggesting that this roadway is
not a needed improvement for-development of that quadrant
.
Hoff replied they are not suggesting that. Bentley then
asked what the time frame is for development of the Norse-
man Industrial Park. Hoff replied it would probably be
within the next few years.
Bentley then asked if they were aware that we are talking
about a Feasibility Study and not about proceeding with a
n
y
construction project. Hoff replied that they are aware o
f
that.
-16- February 3, 1987 City Council Minutes
Anderson asked City Attorney Pauly for his response. Pauly
said that because this is not being initiated on the basis
of a petition by a property owner, approval must be by a
4/5 vote of the Council. Pauly asked Mr. Hoff to review his
comments on the additional costs.
Hoff said their position is that the following items should
be included as additional costs in the Feasibility Study:
(1) compensation to the Helles for the road right-of-way
as they feel they are under no obligation to dedicate the
roadway, as set forth in the Developer's Agreement, because
the conditions have not been met; and (2) compensation
to the Helles for valuable fill that would be used for
construction of the roadway.
Pauly then said that if Mr. Hoff's comments regarding the
Developer's Agreement are correct, the cost for the road
right-of-way would have to be included as part of the costs
for the improvement and would have to be assessed back to
the benefitted property owners. He said he was not sure
the improvements would be of benefit to Mr. Helle's property
but that determination would be part of the purpose of the
Feasibility Study.
Pidcock asked Mr. Hoyt if he and the owner of the Vantage
property had determined what contribution they will make
for this Feasibility Study. Mr. Hoyt responded that they
have already paid for the traffic study but that he would
be willing to take a look at participating in the cost of
the study.
Director of Public Works Dietz noted that if we get into a
project like this, what we can't prevail through the assess-
ment process the City will have to pay for. City Attorney
Pauly said that, in talking with Mr. Dietz, if there were a
serious question about the ability to assess some of the
properties that would benefit, their recommendation would
be to enter into a contract on condition that the assess-
ment be levied and the appeal process be run before the
construction process was started. He said this would pro-
vide a way of protecting the .City from significant exposure
for the cost of the project, but would still include the
possibility of paying the cost of a lawsuit and the cost
of the Feasibility Study.
Bentley noted that the construction of Golden Triangle
Drive is not only a necessity but has been a forgone con-
clusion from the City's perspective for many years. It is
an absolute necessity for proper traffic flow in that area
and must be done, from his perspective, the sooner the better.
He said he thought only a Feasibility Study will tell us
whether the cost associated with the project is something
City Council Minutes -1 7- February 3, 1987
that the City or the property owners will be willing to
entertain. He said preparing the Feasibility Study is
the only way to address this issue.
Anderson expressed concern about recent reports that the
section of County Road 18 from Hwy. 494 to the Crosstown
has the highest accident rate in Minnesota. He said this
project represents a means of improving traffic flow in
this industrial area which is contributing a lot of the
traffic on that section of Cty. Rd. 18.
Peterson asked how much the Feasibility Study will cost.
Dietz replied it would probably be under $5,000.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to adopt Reso-
lution No. 87-32, ordering Feasibility Report for Golden
Triangle Drive. Motion carried unanimously.
2. Fee Resolution (Resolution No. 87-09) Continued from
January 20, 1987
Harris said she found the explanation memo from Mr. Frane
dated January 29th to be very educational and she would
like to see this kind of display whenever we consider simi-
lar items.
Pidcock asked what was the necessity for raising the fees,
such as the fee for installation of L.P. tanks. Bentley
commented that there is no difference in the process for
inspecting temporary or permanent tanks. City Manager
Jullie said both types are inspected one time only and so
it was felt the fee should be the same.
Harris asked for a clarification of the Indoors/Outdoors
figures under Section 3.9, Park Facility Fees. Director
of Community Services Lambert said those numbers are not
fees but rather indicate the capacity of those facilities.
Peterson asked for clarification of the use fee and deposit
fee on such facilities as the Round Lake Park Pavilion.
Lambert said the deposit fee is paid above and beyond the
use fee and is returned if nb damage occurs to the facility.
Peterson then asked about the deposit for the Outdoor Cen-
ter. Lambert said this is twice the deposit on the other
facilities because this is the Senior Center building and
there is more potential for damage in this facility.
Pidcock asked who rents the Outdoor Center. Lambert said
we haven't rented it up to now but we will when the Seniors
have moved to the lower level of the City Hall building.
He also noted that the Seniors will be given first oppor-
tunity to rent the Outdoor Center and will not be charged
for its use.
City Council Minutes -18- February 3, 1987
Lambert then reviewed some additional amendments the Parks
Commission recommended at their meeting last night. He
said they recommend two use fees for the Round Lake and
Staring Park facilities, one for families and one for com-
panies. Families would be charged a use fee of $25.00 and
a damage fee of $25.00 while companies would pay $50.00
for use and a $50.00 deposit. He said the Parks Commission
also recommended that the fee for use of the outdoor hockey
rinks from 9-10 PM be reduced to $15.00, which would cover
the actual costs incurred.
City Attorney Pauly recommended that the last sentence
reading, "All Resolutions of the City of Eden Prairie,
Minnesota, relating to fees heretofore adopted are hereby
repealed" be deleted.
Anderson asked if it is typical for all school districts
to get 100% of gate fees at all hockey events. Lambert
said their review of this question in 1980 revealed dif-
ferent policies in different districts but that they could
go back and do another survey. Anderson asked if they
pay us back for the costs incurred. Lambert said they pay
for any extra costs incurred at the Community Center.
Pidcock asked if it might be a good idea to set a percent-
age of the gate fees beyond a certain level that would be
returned to the Community Center. Lambert said the cur-
rent arrangement had been worked out between the Council
and the School District but Staff would be willing to re-
view this.
Anderson noted that the hockey team is playing in a differ-
ent league now; therefore, the gate receipts are considerably
more. He said he would like to get some figures on atten-
dance now compared to two or three years ago. Lambert said
they could do a survey of what the arrangements are between
schools and arenas in the Lake Conference. Pidcock said
she would like to see the results of that report.
Harris said she thought it might be useful for Staff to
make some ballpark projections as to what we might gain
from a change in the procedure.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt
Resolution No. 87-09, regulating fees and charges for
Business Licenses, Permits and Municipal Services, subject
to the changes recommended by the Parks, Recreation &
Natural Resources Commission and with the deletion of the
last sentence regarding the repeal of all previously adopted
fee resolutions. Motion carried unanimously.
City Council Minutes -19- February 3, 1987
E. 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 4-87, pertaining to the Human
Rights & Services Commission
Peterson said he wished to convey to Ms. Swaggert and the
Human Rights & Services Commission a commendation for a
very thorough and complete reworking of the document.
City Attorney Pauly called attention to a typographical
error in the proposed ordinance: page 4, paragraph 2,
change "adopted" to "amended".
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Bentley, to give 1st
Reading to Ordinance No. 4-87, as amended. Motion carried
unanimously.
VIII. REPORTS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS
There were no reports.
IX. APPOINTMENTS
A. Appointment of Councilmember to serve on the "Preserve
Area G" review committee
Peterson noted that, as mentioned in the Memorandum for
tonight's meeting, the Council needs to make a new appoint-
ment to the "Preserve Area G" review committee to replace
former Councilmember Redpath. He said Councilmember Bentley
has expressed interest in serving on this committee.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Harris, to appoint
George Bentley to serve on the "Preserve Area G" review
committee.
Pidcock said she would like to know more about what the
committee does. Bentley said the area involves the com-
mercial area in the northwest quadrant of T.H. 169 and
Prairie Center Drive that includes the car wash and other
businesses. He said through negotiation the City arranged
an agreement with the developer whereby a control group
would review on-going development of the whole piece of
property in terms of compliance with a pre-determined design
framework.
Pidcock asked how many people are on the committee and how
often the committee meets. Planning Director Enger said it
is a three-member committee composed of a Councilmember,
a Staff representative, and Larry Peterson of the Preserve.
He said while it is a very small area, it is prezoned and
the committee is charged with administrating the design
framework manual.
City Council Minutes -20- February 3, 1987
Pidcock asked how long the committee will continue. Enger
responded that it will go on until the area is fully de-
veloped. Pidcock then asked how often they meet. Enger
said they meet according to need.
Pidcock then expressed concern that she had never been in-
formed about the existence of this committee and she was
wondering if there might be other committees that Council-
members belong to that she was unaware of. Anderson said
it might be of interest to all of us to find out all the
committees on which Council representation is needed and
asked that a list of committees or groups with Council
representation be prepared by the next Council meeting.
A discussion followed regarding such committees and the
best means of determining such a list.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
X. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS & COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Council Members
1. Discussion on review of Major Center Area Land Use
Peterson referred to the memo of January 30th on the
Major Center Area from Director of Planning Enger and
said that he didn't want to get into an exhaustive re-
view of this. Bentley commented that he didn't think
a lengthy discussion of the issue was necessary and
suggested that the task force he proposed at the last
Council meeting be composed of the Council itself. He
also suggested that this be considered outside of the
regular Council meetings since it is a broad issue that
will require hours of discussion and may serve as the
beginning of the long-range planning process. He said
this would also serve the goal of working to develop
team effort within the Council.
Bentley said he had three suggestions for the Council:
(1) to continue review of the information provided;
(2) to ask Mr. Enger to proceed with those specific
issues mentioned in his memo; and (3) to set a date
that the Council could meet for a workshop session to
begin the process of going through this.
Harris said she would support Mr. Bentley's suggestions.
She said she was impressed with the document itself
and with the obvious thought that has been given in
this area. She said she thought the suggestions in
the memo should probably be accepted and that this
deserves a special work session where we can expand on
certain issues or questions that arise from reading the
material.
-21 -
Enger said he was trying to respond to the Council's
request to pull together all the policies, ordinances
and studies that City Staff is using currently to
come up with recommendations to developers for what
are appropriate land uses in the Major Center Area.
He said he thought the City has done a good job of
continuing the effort started in 1973 with the original
study. He said he hoped to communicate some comfort
level to the Council that, while the M.C.A. does re-
quire some looking at, there has been some effort on
this already and that the recommendations in his memo
would provide some general direction to future efforts.
Peterson said he thought we have to resolve a procedur-
al question here as to whether this process should
proceed from the Planning Commission to the Council
or from the Council to the Planning Commission. Harris
said she is seeking additional information and under-
standing before she can respond and she would like to
sit down with Staff and talk through this.
Anderson said, in view of the new appointments to be
made soon to the Planning Commission, it would be
appropriate to set up a joint meeting of the Planning
Commission and the City Council to go through this
material.
Bentley said he thought it is ultimately going to be
very important for the Council to learn to work to-
gether in workshop sessions. He said two years ago
the Council made a commitment to work together in work-
shop sessions; however, so far that has not happened.
He said that he doesn't feel the Council is in any
position to make recommendations on this issue to the
Planning Commission until the Council has reviewed a
lot of the material to see what we want to recommend.
Peterson said that after reading Mr. Enger's report,
he was less convinced that we need to move quickly as
things are being tended to. He said he was not sure how
best to proceed on this.
Pidcock said she liked Mrs. Harris' suggestion that
we get to know about this on a one-to-one basis with
the Staff rather than taking the Planning Commission
in right away.
Peterson said he thought as a consequence of even one
work session we will have a clearer understanding of
how else and who else to be involved in this issue.
MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to set a
special Council work session on the Major Center Area
City Council Minutes -22- February 3, 1987
report for Tuesday, February 24, 1987, at 3:00 PM in
the City Hall lunchroom, with the understanding that
if any of the Councilmembers cannot attend the session
it will be rescheduled. Motion carried unanimously.
2. Bentley - Southwest Corridor Coalition item
Bentley said there is a meeting tomorrow morning of
the Southwest Corridor Coalition to appoint a specific
committee for an E.I.S. study. He said he agreed to
take part in this and that one of the agenda items is
discussion about potential financial participation by
all the communities involved in the preparation of an
E.I.S. on Hwy. 212. Because they are expecting each
community's representative to respond to the issue
tomorrow, he said he wanted to get a consensus as to
whether we would want to consider participating at this
point in time.
Peterson said he thought most of us are relatively un-
informed as to what the Southwest Coalition is involved
in and he didn't understand the implication of this
issue so he would not be prepared to make a recommenda-
tion to participate financially. A discussion followed
regarding the current activities of the Coalition.
Bentley said the gist of this issue is that it was felt
the Hwy. 212 project would stand a much better chance
of being funded if the participating communities would
pay for the E.I.S. rather than waiting for the State
to pay for it. He said this has been done by other
communities or groups of communities with some degree
of success.
Pidcock said she thought it would be in our best in-
terests to be open to consideration of this. Harris
said she thought it was particularly important to be
flexible in order to see if there will be strength on this issue.
Peterson asked if we have a Staff representative to the
Coalition. Director of Public Works Dietz said he
attended the last meeting and will be at tomorrow's
meeting.
Bentley said from the historical perspective the Council
did address this issue several years ago and took the
position that under no circumstances would the Council
participate in an E.I.S. because there was no commit-
ment on the part of the state to participate in the
project.
City Council Minutes -23- February 3, 1987
Pidcock asked Dietz his opinion on the concept that
the state will not do an E.I.S. unless the cities fund
it. Dietz responded that the consensus is that if you
come up with some money and show everyone you care,
you can probably get something going. He said an E.I.S.
can cost up to $600,000 with the State possibly paying
$300,000 of the total.
Peterson said he was sure that, prior to any commitment,
we would want an in-depth analysis by Staff and Council.
Anderson said he would like to get a report on this at
the next meeting.
3. Pidcock - Emergency Operation Plan (E.O.P.)
Pidcock said she has some grave concerns about our
E.O.P.; however, she thought it should be discussed
at some other time in order to allow sufficient time
to take a good look at it. She said she was concerned
that both of the main officers on the plan do not live
in Eden Prairie.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, that this
item be put on the agenda for the February 17, 1987
meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
Peterson suggested that Mrs. Pidcock give City Manager
Jullie a list of questions to facilitate the discussion
of this item.
4. Harris - Discussion of letter of January 26th from Wilcox
Harris asked for more background information on the
subject in Dr. Wilcox' letter. Director of Community
Services Lambert said Eden Valley is a neighborhood
park on the northwest corner of Hwy. 4 and Duck Lake Trail. He said they plan to grub out part of the
wooded area for a picnic area and they have written
a letter to Dr. Wilcox explaining what is planned for
that park.
Anderson asked if we have a plan for that entire area.
Lambert said we do. Anderson then asked about the
reference in the letter to the tree that was taken
down. Lambert said trees three inches and under in
diameter are removed if they are in the path of the
12-foot swath for the path, whereas the path will go
around any trees of more than four inches in diameter.
5. Peterson - Document for Manager's Performance Review
City Council Minutes -24- February 3, 1987
Peterson noted the section in the document that refers
to Evaluation Philosophy. He suggested that Mrs.
Pidcock and Mrs. Harris work with Natalie Swaggert to
review and make recommendations relative to comparative
evaluations and to submit the document for Council con-
sideration.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to ap-
point Councilmembers Pidcock and Harris to work with
Ms. Swaggert to make recommendations on comparative
evaluations for the Manager's Performance Review and
to present the recommendations at the March 3, 1987
meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
B. Report of City Manager
1. Request for additional secretarial position
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock, to
authorize the additional secretarial position, per
City Manager Jullie's memorandum of January 27, 1987.
Motion carried unanimously.
C. Report of City Attorney
There was no report.
D. Report of Director of Planning
There was no report.
E. Report of Director of Community Services
There was no report.
F. Report of Director of Public Works
1. Approve T.H. 5 Revised Layout Plan (Resolution No. 87-33)
Director of Public Works Dietz called attention to the
revised layout for T.H. 5 improvements on display and
reviewed the changes proposed. He said they have re-
placed the roadway going under the railroad with an
at-grade crossing; however, it looks to him like that
project isn't going to go unless there is some final
commitment by the railroad on abandonment.
Bentley commented that at least they are making a recom-
mendation on how they are going to cross the railroad.

New American Homes
Mark C. Jones
1. Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Medium Density
Residential to Low Density Residential on 39.5 acres.
2. Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-13.5 on 39.5 acres.
3. Preliminary Plat of 39.5 acres into 58 single family lots
and three out lots.
Background
This site is currently guided Medium ...,
Density Residential which allows a
density up to ten dwelling units per , PROPOSED SITE
acre. This site has previously been ;
approved in concept for 180 to 208 I
multiple family units. Nt
Preliminary Plat
The preliminary plat depicts the r'
subdivision of 39.5 acres into 58, --\;
R1-13.5, lots, at an overall density
of 1.5 units per acre. Excluding
the flood plain area, which is
proposed for dedication to the City,
the net density would be 1.9 units
per acre. Low Density Residential
guided areas would allow up to 2.5
units per acre.
All of the lots meet the minimum
requirements of the Shoreland
Ordinance for General Development
Waters classification. All of the
Cardinal Creek 6th Addition 2 January 23, 1987
lots meet the minimum requirements of the R1-13.5 zoning district with the exception
of Lot 20, Block 2, which does not meet the minimum street frontage requirement. As
depicted on the plan, additional land would be required from the Griffith property
to the northwest to meet the minimum frontage requirement.
Grading
Extensive grading will be required across the entire site to accommodate building
pad locations and for street construction. Road grades are at 7%. The Code would
allow an 8% maximum road grade. Approximately 10-15 feet would be cut off the
higher portions of the site along the west side of Robin Ridge Road which would be
used as fill for lots on the south side of Cardinal Creek extension. This compares
with the approved plan for multiple family with 25 to 40-foot cuts and 15 to 25 feet
of fill. The hill along 1-494 will be reshaped but the high point at elevation 990
will be maintained. All slopes of 3 to 1 or greater shall be sodded and staked
immediately after the completion of overall site grading area. These areas should
also be protected with a snow fence.
Grading is proposed off-site adjacent to Lot 20 on the Griffith property to the
west. The grading is necessary to accommodate the road extension back to Baker Road
and to provide for building pads on proposed Lot 20 and future lots on property to
the west. The grading of the off-site property will result in the loss of 660
caliper inches of oak trees. Attachment A indicates two alternative ways of
relocating the road such that no trees would be lost on this portion of the hill.
The alternative route which moves the road approximately 50 feet to the west would
require a retaining wall of approximately 10 feet in height. The second alternative
route moves the roadway to the west of the Miller household and depicts a potential
subdivision of the property for both the Miller and the Griffith piece.
Noise Study
A noise impact analysis was prepared for this site to project highway noise levels
for day and night in order to determine whether or not home sites would comply with
these standards and to recommend mitigation measures where they do not. The study
indicates that the highest noise levels during the day are between 7 and 8 a.m. and
4 to 5 p.m. The highest nighttime levels are between 6 to 7 a.m. The study
indicates that Lots 10 through 14, Block 3, exceed the daytime noise levels. A
noise berm of approximately 12 feet in height is proposed and will lower the noise
levels to meet the daytime standards. The study also indicates that nighttime noise
levels are exceeded on Lots 1 through 23, Block 3; Lots 7 through 16, Block 1; and,
Lots 1 through 14, Block 2. The nighttime noise levels can be reduced by
approximately one-half through building construction. The study indicates that
building elements such as walls, windows, and doors, have the ability to reduce
noise, depending upon the type of construction. Acoustical windows, solid core
doors, and normal wall insulation, are examples of materials which would reduce
noise.
Utilities
Utilities can be extended into this site by a connection to existing facilities in
Cardinal Creek Drive.
The storm water run-off plan depicts the flow of water towards the flood plain
adjacent to the creek. The storm sewer pipes adjacent to the flood plain should be
Cardinal Creek 6th Addition

extended beyond the end of the lot lines of the proposed house sites and extended
into the flood plain outlot. The outlet structures should be landscaped to blend
into the natural environment.
Sidewalks
A sidewalk will be constructed along the north and east side of Cardinal Creek
extension.
Conclusions
A low density residential land use is appropriate on this site and road construction
and building pad locations can be accommodated with significantly less grading than
the approved multiple family plan. The key to the development of this property is
the access out to Baker Road. The road in its current location is not acceptable
because of the loss of 660 caliper inches of oak trees. The relocation of the
rcadway approximately 50 feet to the south would require the purchase of- some
property from the Miller site. A second alternative road location would run through
the approximate center of the Miller piece. Since this site is not proposed for any
development at this time, if the proposed road is moved the City must decide whether
or not it would be appropriate to condemn property for the extension Of the roadway
to accommodate a development that does not have direct access to Baker Road at this
time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning Staff would recommend approval of the Comprehensive Guide Plan Change
from Medium Density Residential to Low Density Residential, a Zoning District Change
from Rural to R1-13.5 and a Preliminary Plat of 39.5 acres into 58 single family
lots and three outlots based on plans dated December 26, 1986, subject to the
following recommendations:
1. Prior to Council review, proponent shall:
A. Modify the development plans to provide for an alternative access to
Baker Road.
2. Prior to Final Plat approval, proponent shall:
A. Submit detailed storm water 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. Notify the City and Watershed District at least 48 hours in advance
of grading. Stake the proposed grading limits with a snow fence.
Any trees lost outside of the grading limits would be replaced on an
area inch per area inch basis.
Cardinal Creek 6th Addition 4
January 23, 1987
C. Immediately after grading, all 3 to 1 slopes shall be sodded and
staked and the limits of these slopes muld be staked with a snow
fence.
4. Concurrent with road construction, the developer shall construct a five-foot
wide concrete sidewalk along the north and east side of Cardinal Creek Road
extension.
5. Developer shall dedicate the outlot areas as depicted on the plat to the
City free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and mortgages.
6. Construction access shall be from the new road not through the existing
Cardinal Creek neighborhood.
7. If the proponent does not come up with an acceptable alternative for road
access to Baker Road, or is not able to provide access through the Miller
parcel, or the City is not willing to condemn property for road access, the
development of this property would not go forward until such a time as
access were extended in from Baker Road.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM:
Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services
DATE: January 29, 1987
SUBJECT: Supplementary Staff Report to the January 23 Planning Staff Report Regarding
Cardinal Creek 6th Addition
The zoning request is for a change from Rural to R1-13.5 on 39.5 acres and preliminary
plat of 39.5 acres into 58 single family lots and 3 outlots. The site is currently
guided medium density residential, which allows densities of up to 10 dwelling units
per acre, and the site has previously been approved for concept for 180 to 208 multi-
family units.
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission concerns regarding this
proposal relate to grading, floodplain dedication, tree loss and sidewalks.
The January 23rd Planning Staff Report indicates that approximately 10-15 of cut
would be required on the higher portions of this site. The fill obtained from these
cuts would be used for filling the lots on the south side of Cardinal Creek Road
extension. The hill along 1-494 will be reshaped at the high point, but the elevation
of 990 will be maintained.
The major concern regarding the proposed grading plan relates to the northwest corner
of the site. The existing grading plan would require extensive grading into the
Griffith property to the west. This grading would result in the loss of 660 caliper
inches of oak trees. The Planning Staff Report recommends two alternatives to this
grading plan, either alternative would be an improvement to the existing plan. The
high wooded ridge located north of the proposed Cardinal Creek Road and east of Baker
Road should be preserved as much as possible. This wooded ridge line is a major land
form in this part of the community and highly visible from surrounding properties. It
is also directly adjacent to Baker Road, one of the major entry roads into
neighborhoods in the northeast quadrant of the community.
Nine-Mile Creek Floodplain is located on the southwest portion of this site. The city
has a policy of requesting developers to dedicate the floodplain. The existing
development proposes to dedicate Outlot A, which includes most, but not all of, the
floodplain. The Community Services Staff would recommend that the northern line of
Outlot A be moved further to the north to more closely follow the floodplain contour.
The majority of the site being proposed for development is open grassy slopes and the
major concern over tree loss is on adjacent property that will be affected, depending
on how this site is graded.
The Community Services Staff concur with the extension of a sidewalk along the north
and east side of Cardinal Creek Road. If there is a possibility of Robin Ridge Road
continuing out to the north, Community Services Staff would recommend a sidewalk along
one side of that street as well.
The Community Services Staff recommend approval of the request for Comprehensive Guide
Plan change and zoning request to R1-13.5 and preliminary plat of 39.5 acres into 58
single family lots subject to the January 23rd Planning Staff recommendations and the
recommendation that the rear lot lines that form the northern boundary of Outlot A be
adjusted to follow, more closely, the hundred year flood elevation line.

UNAPPROVED PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
JANUARY 26, 1987
D. CARDINAL CREEK 6TH, by New American Homes Corporation. Request for
Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendement from Medium Density Residential
to Low Density Residential on 31.2 acres, Zoning District Change
from Rural to R1-13.5 on 31.2 acres, and Preliminary Plat of 39.5
acres into 59 single family lots, three outlots, and road right-of-
way. Location: North of Cardinal Creek Road, west of 1-494. A
public hearing.
Mr. Frank Kramer, representing New American Homes Corporation, reviewed
features of the development. He explained that this single family detached
development was proposed at a gross density of 1.5 units per acre, at a net
density of 1.9 units per acre, and that the average lot size was 20,000 sq.
ft. He also noted that the design of the development was such that it kept
the proposed homes as far away from 1-494 as possible.
Gartner stated that the plans indicated that the 100-year flood plain
elevation was covering a portion of several lots. She asked about the
impact of the flood plain on this proposed development. Planner Enger
stated that it was possible to build structures within a flood plain, but
that certain standards had to be met. For example, in another portion of
the Nine Mile Creek flood plain, a house had been built on pilings, which
was acceptable and approved by the Watershed District. Planner Enger noted
that the lowest elevation to which fill would be added was 871, while the
high water elevation of the 100-year flood plain was 866; therefore, the
lowest floor elevation for eaei structure would be at least five feet above
the designated 100-year flood plain elevation. The requirement of the flood
plain portion of the ordinance was that the lowest floor elevation be at
least two feet above the 100-year flood plain elevation. Planner Enger
added that it may be necessary to correct the soils under the proposed
location of the structures, due to the unstable nature of soils within flood
plain areas. This would be checked at the time of building permit request
when soil borings were required for the lot. At that time, the poor soils
would be required to be removed and stable fill would be used instead.
Mr. Ron Krueger, representing the developer, added that soils used for
filling were compacted, which actually provided for ,a more stable foundation
for structures than some good soils.
Hallett asked about the access of this project to Baker Road, given the
timing of the upgrading of Baker Road. Planner Enger explained that Baker
Road would be upgraded beginning in the Spring, 1987, with completion
expected in 1988. He noted that the road would be constructed "under
traffic," meaning that traffic would be allowed on the road while the
improvements were being constructed.
Reubling asked if it would be possible to change the alignment of the road
access to Baker Road in order to save trees on the adjacent property.
Planner Enger stated that it was possible, but that it would require the
developer to work with property owners not involved in this submission. He
added that this subdivision was dependent upon the adjacent properties in
order to obtain access to Baker Road. Planner Enger stated that the
proposed development of the property to the northwest, owned by the Griffith
family, had recently been submitted to the City. He stated that between the
two developments, it may be possible to work out a different alignment for
access to Baker Road in order to save the trees involved. Planner Enger
stated that there was one other property owner involved, Mr. Oscar Miller,
who did not want to develop at this time, but across whose property an
access to Baker Road could be planned. Alignment across the Miller property
would prevent the tree loss indicated by the proposed access almost
completely.
Mr. Oscar Miller, 6521 Baker Road, stated that the proponents for the
Cardinal Creek 6th Addition had not spoken with him at any time regarding
possible use of his property for realignment of the access to Baker Road.
He stated that he was concerned, too, about the development of the flood
plain area, that it be safe and not damage the environment. Mr. Miller also
asked that the signs located on his property regarding property for sale be
removed, or relocated, as he had received many inquiries about whether his
property was for sale, when in fact the signs were intended for the adjacent
lands.
Mr. Miller explained that he was concerned about access to Baker Road. He
pointed out that currently, the access to Baker Road existed as an easement,
only, and that maintenance of that easement was costly. Mr. Miller stated
that he had needed three semi-truck loads of gravel for the easement in 1986
in order to maintain a passable road.
Mr. Kramer stated that proponents had been working with the purchasers of
the Griffith property regarding a mutually beneficial alignment of an access
road to Baker Road.
Mr. Krueger stated that his firm was working for the purchasers of the
Griffith property, as well, and that their plans indicated that the road
would be built on the Griffith parcel, but provide access for the Cardinal
Creek 6th Addition, the Griffith parcel, and the Miller property.
Chairman Schuck asked if there would be any opportunity for the three
parties involved to work together on the proposed road alignment. Mr.
Miller stated that he was willing to discuss this with the other two
parties.
Planner Enger stated that it was the preference of the Engineering
Department that the access road to Baker Road be aligned directly across
from the driveway to the church on the west side of Baker Road for safety
purposes. He pointed out that the road was shown in the current location
based on location of property lines, as opposed to the best overall
alignment for the area.
Mr. Kramer stated that New American Homes would be willing to work with Mr.
Miller on a preferred road alignment for all parties.
Bye stated that she concurred with Chairman Schuck regarding the coordination of access for the three parties involved, and for the overall
benefit of the neighborhood.
Mr. Art Roberts, 13543 Woodmere Circle, Vice President of the Car

Breco Corporation
Equitable Life Insurance Company
1. Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-9.5 on 5.52 acres.
2. Preliminary Plat of 7.36 acres into 18 single family lots
and one out lot.
Background
In May of 1986, the Planning
Commission reviewed a request from
David Schell for 44 townhome units
on this site. The Planning
Commission recommended that the
development plans be returned to the
proponents for revision& which
included a downsizing of the
building mass, fewer units, less
grading, and less tree loss. The
applicant withdrew the request and
did not return to the Planning
Commission.
Preliminary Plat
The preliminary plat depicts the
subdivision of 7.3 acres into 18
single family lots and one outlot.
The overall density is 2.5 units per
acre if the pond is included. This
compares with the approved PUD
density of 5.8 units per acre.
Linden Ponds is 2.35 units per acre
to the west of this site. Woodland
Addition to the east is 2.37 units
Edenvale 21st Addition 2 January 23, 1987
per acre. The pond is a cattail wetland but is not a public water. Excluding the
pond, the density on the net land area would be 3.26 units per acre. All of the
lots meet the minimum street frontage, dimensional, and square footage requirements
for R1-9.5 zoning. Lot sizes range from 9,550 square feet to 26,400 square feet
with an average lot size of 11,894 square feet. This compares to Linden Ponds,
9,100 to 13,500, with a 11,800 square foot average, and, Woodland Addition, 9,775 to
23,000 with a 13,000 square foot average.
Grading
The use of walk-out units and tuck-under units helps minimize overall grading on-
site. In order to provide for adequate room for house pads on Lots 1 through 5,
fill is proposed within the ponding area below the normal water level or the outlet
elevation at 898. Because of the encroachment into the pond, the storage capacity
may be reduced. Prior to Council review, the proponents must supply storm water
drainage calculations identifying the capacity of the pond and the impact of the
fill within the ponding area. All 2.5 to 1 slopes should be sodded, staked, and
protected with snow fencing immediately after grading.
Tree Loss
The tree inventory indicates a total of 576 caliper inches of oak and maple trees
on-site. The grading plan indicates that approximately 132 caliper inches would be
lost due to construction. This compares with 480 caliper inches of oak and maple
trees that would have been lost under the original townhomes of Linden Ponds
proposal. According to the City's tree replacement policy, 112 caliper inches are
required for replacement. Prior to Council review, proponent shall submit a tree
replacement plan for Staff review.
Architectural Control
Since this site is proposed for R1-9.5 zoning, the proponents will be required to
submit an architectural plan which keys specific unit types to lots such that no two
unit types are alike side by side, opposite, or diagonally across from each other.
Prior to building permit issuance, proponent shall submit an architectural plan for
review.
It
Sewer and water service can be extended into this site from existing services in
Edenvale Boulevard. The watermain will be required to loop back to Woodland Drive.
Storm water run-off is proposed to drain through a storm sewer pipe into the ponding
area. Since fill is proposed in the pending area and may reduce the ponding
capacity, the proponents will be required to submit capacity calculations for review
by the City Engineer.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning Staff would recommend approval of the request for Rezoning from Rural
to R1-9.5 and a Preliminary Plat of 7.73 acres into 18 lots and one outlot based on
plans dated December 26, 1986, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report,

SUBJECT: Supplementary Report to Planning Staff Reports Regarding Edenvale 21 Addition
EDENVALE 21st ADDITION
The Edenvale 21st Addition proposes 18 single family lots and one outlet on 7.36
acres. This is located south of Edenvale Blvd and west of Woodland Drive. In May of
1986, the Planning Commission reviewed a request from the developer for 44 townhomes
on this site. The Planning Commission returned the plan to the developer for
revisions and the applicant withdrew. The 18 single family lots are a vast
improvement over the previous plan and the Planning Commission recommended approval at
their January 26th meeting. The major park, recreation and natural resources concerns
regarding Edenvale 21st Addition include the pond, the grading, the tree loss and
sidewalks.
The pond is a cattail wetland, but is not public waters. This pond will be left in
its natural state in an outlot with the exception of a small portion in the southeast
side of the pond that will require some fill. The pond acts as a holding pond for
drainage in the surrounding developments and will be required to maintain a holding
capacity as designated by the Watershed District.
The site drops from a 940 contour along Woodland Drive down to an 894 contour adjacent
to the pond therefore this small site will require extensive grading; however, the use
of walkout units and tuck unders helps minimize overall grading.
The January 23rd Planning Staff Report indicates a tree inventory of 576 caliper
inches of oak and maple on the site. The grading plan indicates that approximately
132 capiler inches would be lost due to construction, and according to the present
policy 112 caliper inches would be required for replacement.
In 1986, the City received a petition from a young man that lives in this vicinity
requesting a sidewalk along Woodland Drive from Edenvale Blvd., southwest the entire
length of Woodland Drive. It was pointed out that a significant number of children
that live in this neighborhood are required to walk along Woodland Drive to various
bus stops. The Community Services Staff recommend construction of a 5' wide concrete
sidewalk on the west side of Woodland Drive, from Edenvale Blvd. to Ironwood Court.
The City would have to pay for the southern most 125' of the sidewalk that is off the
site of this developer.
The Community Services Staff would recommend approval of the request from rezoning
from Rural to R1.95 in a preliminary plat of 7.73 acres into 18 lots and one outlot
based on the plans dated December 26, 1986 subject to the recommendations of the
January 23rd Planning Staff Report and the additional requirement of a sidewalk along
the west side of Woodland Drive.

west of Woodland Drive. A public hearing.
Mr. K. E. Schumacher, representing proponent, reviewed the proposed
development with the Commission. He noted that this property had previously
been before the Commission as the Townhomes of Linden Ponds. Based on
concerns of the City and the neighborhood at that time for the natural
features of the property, traffic, and other matters, the proposal was
withdrawn and was resubmitted as an 18-lot single family subdivision.
Mr. Schumacher stated that this plan allowed for the preservation of many
more trees than the previous plan. The townhome project resulted in the
need for replacement of 480 caliper inches of trees; this development
resulted in the need for replacement of 120 caliper inches of trees. He
added that the homes would be similar to those already existing in the area,
some with three-car garages.
Planner Enger reviewed the findings and recommendations of the Staff Report
of January 23, 1987. Other than the standard recommendations regarding
utilities, erosion control, cash park fees, and grading, he noted that other
concerns included tree replacement for the trees which would be removed with
development, the need for calculations for the storm water holding pond on
the property, submission of architectural plans for the lots which indicated
that no two units would be the same directly across, diagonally across, or
adjacent to each other, slopes of 21/2/1, or steeper, should be sodded and
staked, and protected with snow fencing, dedication of the pond, and
construction of a five-foot wide sidewalk along Woodland Drive.
Gartner asked about the potential for any of the basements in the proposed
homes becoming flooded due to the elevation of the pond. Planner Enger
explained that the lowest basement floor elevation for any home in this
proposed subdivision was at a 915 elevation. The Normal Ordinary High Water
Mark for the pond was designated at elevation 893, and the High Water Mark
for the pond at 100-year flood level was at elevation -903. Therefore, all
basements would be at least twelve feet above the high water mark during the
100-year occurrence, and should not be subject to any flooding, or wet
basement, problems.
Reubling stated that he felt this plan was much better than the previously
proposed townhouse development. He added that it appeared to be more
consistent with the existing development in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Mr. David Barker, 14829 Hickory Court, asked about the amount of fill to be
used for purposes of building pads for the lots along Woodland Drive. Mr.
Schumacher responded that the maximum amount of fill would be six feet,
dependent upon the type of home built upon the specific lot. Mr. Barker
(
asked about the width of street frontages for the same lots. Mr. Schumacher
responded that the width of street frontage ranged from 80-90 feet, which
was consistent with the existing lots on the opposite side of Woodland
Drive.
Mr. Gary Johnson, 15020 Ironwood Court, asked about the location of the
proposed sidewalk along Woodland Drive and how installation of the sidewalk
might impact the existing mature trees in that vicinity. Planner Enger
stated that the installation of the sidewalk should not impact any trees as
it would be located within the right-of-way of Woodland Drive. He stated
that there would be review of the location in the field to be certain that
this did not happen.
Mr. Johnson asked if it would be possible to place the large treed area
behind proposed Lot 7 in a permanently protected easement to prevent any
tree cutting in that area. Mr. Schumacher stated that their experience in
the Edenvale Planned Unit Development with outlots was that the properties
became unkept and unsightly due to lack of maintenance by any association.
He stated that they had better results when the property was under the
control of a particular homeowner, who would maintain the property, instead.
Reubling asked if it would be possible to include a provision in the
Developer's Agreement requiring that any trees removed from a certain area,
be replaced in that same area. Planner Enger stated that this would be done
via the tree replacement plan reviewed by the Planning Department, if the
replacement plan became necessary.
Mr. Henry Fischer, 15100 Ironwood Court, stated that he preferred this
revised single family residential plan to the previous townhouse proposal.
He asked about the price range of homes proposed in the revised development.
Mr. Schumacher stated that the prices would be comparable to those homes
already existing in this neighborhood.
Regarding the pond on the property, Mr. Fischer asked if there would be any
excavating of that area. Mr. Schumacher responded that the proponents would
prefer not to excavate any material from the pond; however, it would be up
to the City to determine whether it would be necessary for additional storm
water holding capacity for this area. Planner Enger added that the City was
reluctant to excavate unless it was necessary. He stated that the only
other instance where the City would consider excavation would be if it
became necessary to remove silt from the pond at some point in the future.
Mr. Johnson asked if the proposed sidewalk would terminate at proposed Lot
7. Planner Enger stated that the sidewalk would terminate at the southeast
corner of Lot 7, and that any further extension would be based on requests
of the residents of the area to extend the sidewalk. He added that the City
would be able to add the sidewalk within the right-of-way for Woodland
Drive.
Mr. Johnson asked if fill would be required in order to locate the sidewalk
as shown between Lots 8 and 9 and whether filling might damage any of the
trees in this vicinity. Planner Enger explained that it may be necessary to
fill for the sidewalk in this location. However, he stated that there
appeared to be adequate room for a back slope in that area. He added that,
if necessary, the City would require construction of retaining walls around
the trees to protect them.

212 EIS Joint Powers Funding Report
Dear Gary:
Please be advised that an EIS Joint Power Funding Report will be presented at
our Coalition Meeting this Wednesday. This report has been prepared by staff
personnel from the various governmental groups involved in the Coalition and
will outline the Joint Power approach and method for funding the $300.000 EIS
Study.
The general consensus reached by our Coalition is that the only way we are going
to improve our highway systems is to participate in the process and for each
involved entity to make its fair share funding contribution. A number of benefits
accrue from this approach. These are:
We assure an element of control and accountability by being part
of the agreement.
We secure a faster completion date by hiring consultants through
the joint powers agreement.
We are in a far better position to require concurrent design work
along with the EIS Study.
We can require an improved schedule for Highways 169 and 5 as a
condition of our participation.
We are in a position to keep the Governor and the Commissioner
of Transportation aware of their responsibilities to adequately fund
the State's highway systems.
Your assistance is respectfully requested here. Eden Prairie needs to be officially
represented at our Coalition meetings and in a position to provide support and
leadership in our common efforts.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely.
Richard M. Feerick

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Manager Carl J. Jullie C;
SUBJECT: Orientation Process for New Commission Members
DATE: February 13, 1987
At the February 10 special meeting Council asked that I prepare a
summary of the process used for orientation of new appointees to the
City's Boards and Commissions. The typical process for such
orientation is that the department head or other staff person assigned
as liaison to a respective board or commission invites the new members
to an orientation session during which the new members are given an
update on the responsibilities of their position and with what
activities the board or commission is typically involved. When
applicable, new members are given copies of ordinances and any prior
studies or reports which may be pertinent to the activities of their
board or commission. Many other items or issues may be discussed with
the new member dependent upon the nature and level of activity of the
group.
The attached memos from staff provide a summary of the orientation
process used for some of the boards and commissions.
The Council also has discussed the potential for the City Manager to
conduct a general orientation session for all commission and board
members. This could help insure that they have a good understanding
of how the City government is organized, including the general
relationship between the City Council, City staff, and boards and
commissions. This could be very positive assuming it is structured as
an educational/general orientation session rather than focusing on any
single issue. Asssuming Council concurrence, I will plan to schedule
this meeting for Tuesday evening, March 10th.
We have contacted Government Training Service to determine if they
sponsor any such orientation meetings for boards and commissions.
They do provide training for Planning Commission members but nothing
is provided for other types of commissions. They are reviewing the
possibility of sponsoring training for other commissions and boards
and may have something by June of this year. In the meantime, we will
encourage our Planning Commission members to attend the Government
Training Service training for their Commission.

Orientation Process for New Commission Members
Whenever the City Council has appointed new members to the Parks, Recreation
and Natural Resources Commission, the Director of Community Services has
invited the new Commission members to attend an orientation session, generally
lasting about two hours that includes the following:
1. Review of the ordinance that established the Commission and explain the
responsibilities of the Commission member in making recommendations to the
City Council on a variety of issues.
2. Review with the Commission members all of the other ordinances that relate
to parks, recreation and natural resources.
3. Review briefly the various studies that are referred to when reviewing
development proposals such as the Purgatory Creek Study, the
Hikeway/Bikeway Task Force Report, the Guideplan, the Comprehensive Park
Plan, etc.
4. Review the Capital Improvement Program and the Community Services budget.
5. Review the organizational chart of the Community Services Department to
insure that Commission members understand the job responsibilities of the
various staff that will be making reports to the Commission.
6. Review some of the background on some of the issues that will be addressed
by the Commission in the first few meetings.
7. Briefly review the most recent edition of the Community Services
Department Annual Report.
8. Answer any questions Commission members have relating to the Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission.
Commission members are encouraged to question staff on all issues, and it is
emphasized that City staff do not expect that Commission members will always
agree with their recommendations. Emphazise that they are representing all of
the citizens of the community and are advisory to the City Council on issues
relating to parks, recreation and natural resources.
The Director also encourages all Commission members to get out and visit the
various parks within the City. They are provided a map with all of the
current trails and parks, and staff attempts to schedule Commission field
trips on an annual basis to insure Commission members are familiar with the
parks and facilities within the system.

Emergency Operating Plan
February 13, 1987
As Councilmembers are aware, we do have a very complete and detailed
Emergency Operating Plan which was updated in July of last year. The
purpose of this plan is, of course, to help insure the effective
coordinated use of the various resources including City personnel,
equipment and services from other agencies.
On Friday, January 23rd, a practice exercise was carried out at the Eden
Prairie Public Safety Building (Emergency Operating Center) under the
overall review of the Hennepin County Emergency Preparedness Director.
This exercise simulated the problems we would face in the event of a major
plane crash in the City. Those who participated in this exercise included
the City Manager, Director of Public Safety, numerous Public Safety
Officers and Staff, Reserve Officers, Fire Chief, Fire Marshal, Public
Works Director, Street Superintendent, Water Plant Superintendent and Radio
Dispatch people from Richfield. This practice exercise went very well.
After about 20 minutes into the exercise, I was called back to the City
Hall for some urgent business and I did not return to the exercise. Later
Chief Wall reported that my absence did not diminish the effectiveness of
the practice. This was as to be expected because the Emergency Operating
Plan cannot, of course, be dependent upon the presence or absence of one or
two individuals; rather its success depends upon a large team of people who
are well prepared to respond quickly and effectively during emergencies and
who can function well even if the top management people or other key
persons are absent.
During a water shortage emergency on a Sunday morning in March of 1985, I
was called at home and arrived at the Public Safety Building within one
hour of being notified. Upon my arrival the Public Safety Department and
the Water Department staff had the situation well in hand. Mayor Peterson
was also present to help give information to the news media. This real
incident demonstrated that the City can respond effectively in an emergency
even if the City Manager is not immediately present. My principal
responsibility as City Manager is to make sure that the plan is in place,
that the staff is well prepared, and that our response will be effective
whether or not I am present during the emergency.
Also for the Council's general reference, we are prohibited by State Law
from requiring any person to be a resident of the City or County as a
condition of employment.
Councilmembers did raise a very legitimate question about the availability
of the City Manager and Finance Director during emergency situations, and I
trust that the foregoing discussion will help allay any concerns.

SUBJECT:
Homeward Hills Park Plan
The 1979 Park Bond Referendum included a commitment to develop Homeward Hills
Neighborhood Park as soon as the park was acquired through park dedication. The City
acquired the southeast portion of the park in 1980 thru the dedication of parkland
with Bluff's West 2nd Addition, and anticipated acquiring the northwest portion of the
park with the dedication from Bluff's West 3rd Addition; however, questions regarding
the expansion of the landfill delayed and eventually stopped further consideration of
Bluff's West 3rd Addition. During the summer of 1984, BFI donated the northwest
portion of the park to the City and later that year the City completed grading of the
ballfields and placing the surcharge on the road and parking area.
The softball field and soccer field will be usable for the first time in the spring of
1987. Our engineers have indicated the surcharge can now be removed from the road and
parking area and the final development of the park completed.
e Homeward Hills Park is a large neighborhood park containing approximately 37 acres,
much of which is lowland, unusable area but productive open space for wildlife cover.
The active use area of the park will serve an extremely large neighborhood that is
defined by County Road 1 on the north, the Minnesota River to the south, Purgatory
Creek to the east and Flying Cloud Airport and BFI to the west. This neighborhood has
been extremely patient in waiting for their neighborhod park facilities and the
Community Services Staff recommend completing this park during the summer of 1987.
This project would include the following:
1. Removing the surcharge and paving the parking lot and thru roadway.
2. Constructing a park shelter (in this case moving the barn onto the site and
remodeling the barn to accommodate the proposed park shelter programs).
3. Constructing two tennis courts, a half basketball court, and two sand volleyball
courts.
4. Expanding the playstructure area.
5. Constructing a lighted hockey rink and skating area.
6. Landscaping the area around the park shelter, tennis courts, and playstructure.
7. Providing minimal security lighting in the parking area and along the park road.
The Community Services Staff will also be recommending the installation of water and
sewer to the park shelter during this phase of development. This would be the first
neighborhood park shelter with City Water and sewer. (the only other park shelter with
City water and sewer is the Round Lake park building) The Community Services , Staff: recommend installation of these facilities at this time at an estimated fost:of $40,000tfor: the water, sewer, and construction of therestrooms4 due_tothe size of
the park shelter, the distance from this park to other parks of its type and the
potential for the types of programs that can be offered in:the ,park shelter once it is .; remodeled, Staff would anticipate providing progams on a year round bas1S4n -:thit building that would serve generally the southeast quadrant of the City Indoor Sanitary facilities would be required to offer these. services.
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission will be reviewing the proposed
plavat their February 2. 1987 meeting, and the City COUncil at the February 17th ' meeting.
The:estimated cost for this project will be approximately $150,000. Money for, this :
project will come from cash park fees that hav&beentollected from new development.
Community. Services Staff request the ?arks., Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission and the City Council to approve the cOhtept plan for completion of this
park,:and -to authorize staff to obtain the proper quotes and bids for completion of
this4roject. Upon 'receipt of the various quotes. for each'portioh of the project,

V. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
A. Homeward Hills Park
Refer to memo dated January 27, 1987 from Bob Lambert, Director of
Community Services.
Lambert reviewed the park's history. It was designated as a park
site in 1979. At that time, the developer was working on Bluffs
West 2nd Addition and the City acquired the first half of the park
in 1980 anticipating the acquisition of the other half with the
development of Bluffs Vest 3rd Addition. When this was put on
hold, BFI donated the other portion to the City in 1984. The City
received input from nearby residents at that time and later that
year graded the ballfields and placed the surcharge on the road and
parking areas. The softball and soccer fields will be usable for
the first time this spring and the engineers have indicated that
the surcharge from the road and development can be completed. The
project will include the following: removing the surcharge and
paving the parking lot and road; the barn will be moved onto the
site and remodeled; two tennis courts, a half basketball court and
two sand volleyball courts will be constructed; the playstructure
area will be expanded, a lighted hockey rink and skating area will
be constructed, the area around the park shelter, tennis courts and
playstructure will be landscaped and minimal security lighting will
be added in the parking area and along the park road.
Lambert introduced Barb Cross, Park Planner, who was present at the
meeting to show slides on the proposed development of Homeward
Hills Park. The slides included how the park looks at the present
time, the barn which will be moved in and used as a shelter, a
concept plan of proposed park development and inside plans for the
shelter. Barb noted that there will have to be two exits added
from the top story of the building and they are considering adding
a deck.
Cook asked if the sink in the multi-use area could be enclosed so
it is not always available for use. Lambert said that there will
always be a warming house supervisor present so this should not be
a problem and the building will not be open unless it is reserved.
Joyer asked if a fireplace could be added to the multi-purpose
room. Lambert said it could be done, but would be extremely
expensive because it is a two story building.
Baker said the memo indicates that the cost will be $150,000. Does
this include the cost of moving the barn, doing renovations and
additions? Lambert said the cost includes all these items plus
rocking and paving the driveway. The City has not had bids yet and
if this amount is not enough to cover all these items, they will be
done in phases.
UNAPPROVED MINUTES
EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCE COMMISSION Feb. 2, 1987

Cook asked if there is already a bike path so access to the park
will not be a problem. Lambert said yes.
Shaw asked if the City has access to a tree remover to move in some
trees or if larger trees could be acquired to use in the park.
Shaw feels the barn will look rather stark if there aren't some
larger trees around it. Lambert said the City has access to a tree
spade and two nurseries.
MOTION: Baker moved to accept the Homeward Hills Park Plan as
presented. Cook seconded the motion.
Breitenstein asked if there were any residents present at the
meeting that would like to express their feelings about the plan at
this time.
John Kennedy, who lives on Jack Pine Trail, said he likes the plan
and is ready for the park whenever the City is ready.
Sue Schultz, who lives on Summer Place, asked if $150,000 has been
earmarked for this park. Lambert said the money is received from
cash park fees. Schultz asked if there is any reason the City
Council will not approve the plan. Lambert said he doesn't
anticipate any problems. Schultz asked how long the park
improvements will take. Lambert said it will take all summer.
Steve Knutson, who lives on Huntington Drive, asked if any of the
park areas will be lit. Lambert said it is the policy not to light
any neighborhod park facilities other than skating areas.

Refer to staff reports dated January 9, 1987 and November 21, 1986.
Ron Krueger representing Countryside Investments was present at the
meeting. Krueger said the property is adjacent to Homeward Hills
Park and south of County Road 1. Plans are to develop 72 single
family lots on this site. A portion of the area is heavily wooded
with pines as high as 30 feet. Some trees will have to be removed
in order to complete this project which is planned to begin early
next spring. There will be a pathway along County Road 1 with the
possibility of grading a path to the park. Krueger asked Lambert
what the status is on this.
Lambert said the plan was to use land located in the airport active
use area, but the Metropolitan Airports Commission is not
interested at this time. Krueger feels there should be a direct
connection from this development to the park although the existing
sidewalk system does not show this.

Lambert said this issue is being discussed because of the liability
involved and the size of the problem. As examples, he cited the
annual spring parties by Bloomington kids which are held at Staring
Lake every year and the fatal accident which occured after a vo-
tech party last year. Lambert said he feels allowing no alcohol
whatsoever is not justified, but he recommends that beer and wine
only be allowed and no kegs without a permit.
A discussion followed regarding use of strong beer versus 3.2 beer.
MOTION: Joyer moved to recommend that the City draft an ordinance
to allow 3.2 beer and wine only in City parks and no kegs without a

Alcohol Use in Parks
On September 5, 1986, Mr. David L. Drugg, Loss Control Manager for Northstar Risk
Services, Inc., the City's Liability Consultant, wrote a memo to John Frane, Finance
Director, summarizing the result of a loss control survey of City operations. The
memo listed a number of facility improvements and operation procedures that should be
corrected to minimize the potential for loss. On page 3 of that memo recommendation
No. 18 was as follows: "It would be highly desirable for the City to establish a
policy/ordinance prohibiting the use of alcohol in City park areas, and on City
property."
On January 12, 1987, Jim Clark, Eden Prairie Public Safety Department, wrote a memo to
the Director of Community Services regarding alcohol use in parks. A copy of the memo
is attached. Mr. Clark indicates the Public Safety Staff would recommend at least
eliminating the use kegs in parks. He believes this would help reduce the amount of
alcohol consumed at parties that occur in and around our parks.
Mr. Clark indicates that "it becomes apparent that surrounding communities are
beginning to say no" and many times people who are drinking in tne parks "come to Eden
Prairie" so they can drink because we allow it.
The Community Services Staff completed a survey of surrounding communities to
determine their ordinances regarding use of alcohol in parks. A copy of that survey
is attached.
All of the cities and the Hennepin County Park Reserve District have some limitations
on the use of alcohol in parks, either by eliminating alcoholic beverages completely,
such as Edina, Chanhassen and St. Louis Park or requiring permits or other
restrictions.
The City of Eden Prairie has discussed the use of alcohol in parks on occasion over
the years. The general consensus has always been that as long as we are not having
any serious problems with alcohol abuse we should continue to give people as much
freedom as possible in the use of public facilities.
Mr. Clark cites an incident that occurred this past August when a young woman left
Staring Lake Park and had an accident on Highway 169 that caused the death of two
people. The young woman had been drinking beer from a keg and her blood alcohol level
was more that twice the legal limit. The Community Services Staff would not recommend
changing an ordinace affecting how everyone use our City parks based on the poor
judgement of one individual; however, in these times of an extremely "liability
conscience" public, it is obvious the City must take precautions that will "minimize
the potential for loss".

Attached is a December 11, 1986 memo to the Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission that provides background for previous Council action:
regarding the policy for naming parks, as well as background : information on
the temporary names that have been assigned to a number of parks within the .
City.
This issue was discussed at the December 15, 1986 meeting and the -January 5,
1987 meeting of the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission. The
Commission recommended to approve the following names:
• Frnalo Park
• Homeward Hills Park
• Eden Lake Park
• Willow Park
• Carmel Park
• Hidden Glen Park
. Edenbrook Park
The Commission discussed at length the possible renaming of Red Rock Park and
Prairie East Park, and recommended postponing the renaming of those parks
until after the referendum to avoid confusion, as both of those parks are
proposed for improvements with the referendum.

Officially Naming Parks and F4cilities
There are a number of parks and facilities that have been officially named by the City
Council; however, there are several parks that have been unofficially named by the
Community Services Staff for convenience of reference to date. The names of the parks
that should be officially named by the City Council are as follows:
1. Franlo Park
2. Prairie East Park
3. Homeward Hills Park
4. Lake Eden Park
5. Red Rock Park
6. Willow Park
7. Carmel Park
8. Hidden Glen Park
9. Edenbrooke Conservation Area
Several years ago the City Council had a lengthy discussion regarding a policy for
naming parks. The Council concurred that whenever possible the park should be named
based on location, so when the name of the park is heard people familiar with the
community would know approximately where the park would be located. For instance,
Round Lake Park, Staring Lake Park, Riley Lake Park, Birch Island Park are obviously
located adjacent to those bodies of water. Hidden Ponds Park was located in the
Hidden Ponds neighborhood and Nesbitt Preserve Park was located in the Preserve
neighborhood. It was suggested that if a park was located in the defined neighborhood
the City should consider the major road abutting the park as a possible name for the
park. For example, Homeward Hills Park and Franlo Park have been designated those
names simply because of the location adjacent to those major roads.
The Community Services Staff have the following comments on several of the existing
tentative park names:
1. Franlo Park - Although, that name does describe the location of the park, it is
not an especially attractive name for a park. The Community Services Staff do not
have any better recommendation for naming that park at tills time.
2. Prairie East Park - Prairie East was the name of the Planned Unit Development that
included Prairie East Park. It is located on the eastern edge of Eden Prairie,
but does not describe any specific location. The street names located in that
subdivision are either old English names such as Nottingham Trail, Friar Drive,
Squire Lane, Lord Court or names describing trees such as Balsam Lane, Juniper
Lane, Dogwood Circle, Sumac Circle. The park is located on Buckingham Drive. The
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission may wish to recommend changing
the name to Buckingham Park, leaving the name as is, or naming the park after a
park in England such as Hyde Park.
3. Homeward Hills Park- Homeward Hills Park is a rather nice sounding park name and
not only describes the location (adjacent to Homeward Hills Road) but also
describes the hilly character of the area around the park. Staff recommends
leaving the park name as is.
4. Lake Eden Park - The School District has named their elementary school Eden Lake
Elementary and they have requested that we change the name of the park to Eden
Lake Park. The Community Services Staff concur with the request.
5. Red Rock Park - Although Red Rock Park is the neighborhood park serving what is
commonly referred to as the Red Rock neighborhood, the city does anticipate
acquiring a 4-5 acre park on the south shore of Red Rock Lake when the Red Rock
Ranch Subdivision is developed. It may be confusing to have a Red Rock Lake Park
and a Red Rock Park. Staff would suggest either leaving the neighborhood park
name as is and not plan on naming the park on the lake "Red Rock" or changing the
name of the neighborhood park.
6. Willow Park- This park is located north of Valley View Road adjacent to
Butterscotch Road. The park is largeley a marshy area and has a number of willow
trees in the park. The Community Services Staff recommend keeping the park name
of Willow Park.
7. Carmel Park - This is the neighborhood park for the Carmel Subdivision and the
adjacent smaller subdivisions. Staff recommends leaving it named Carmel Park.
8. Hidden Glen Park - This park is located in the northwest part of the City adjacent
to Dell Road in the Hidden Glen Subdivision. Hidden Glen does not describe the
character of the park; however, it is the name of the subdivision. Staff would
recommend leaving the park named Hidden Glen.
9. Edenbrooke Park - The City owns approximately 120 acres of marshland between Dell
Road and Duck Lake Road. The park and open space plan recommends this area be
designated a conservation area and the main purpose of the park is to preserve the
Purgatory Creek floodplain and adjacent marsh and woodlands. Edenbrooke is the
name of one of the subdivisions adjacent to the marsh area. The park could be
referred to as Edenbrooke Park or the Edenbrooke Conservation Area. Staff would
recommend that perhaps Edenbrooke Park is a more consistent name, as it will be
very similar to the type of park that is already referred to as Edenvale Park.
The Community Services Staff would also like to address the naming of the facility
that is currently referred to as the Senior Center. The Senior citizen programs will
be transferred to the existing City Hall, and the lower floor of that facility will be
the new "Senior Center". Community Services Staff recommend renaming that facility on
the north shore Staring Lake as the Outdoor Center, as staff -ls recommending that
facility be the location for programming outdoor education programs and will be used
for reservations for group picnic use, etc.
The location and the rustic character of the buildings make an ideal facility for the
development of outdoor education programs such as teaching of camping skills, fishing
and hunting, orienteering, backpacking, cross-country skiing, bird watching, and other
outdoor recreation pursuits, as well as an attractive location for company picnics,
family reunions, etc.
The Community Services Staff request the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commisison to review these recommendations and may wish to establish a more formal
procedure for the naming of parks in the future.

CSAH 4 Layout Approval
The Hennepin County Department of Transportation has requested City approval of
the proposed layout plan for CSAH 4 (Eden Prairie Road). The plan does match
the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) plan which you approved in
the past. However, you should note the following details regarding the County
proposal:
A. The City has never requested, nor has Hennepin County provided for, a
Signal installation at Terrey Pine Drive. The initial installation
should not warrant signals, but the Resolution requests that the County
make provisions for a future installation when traffic volumes increase.
B. The County has suggested that a signal may not be warranted at the
intersection of CSAH 4/Wagner Way/Prairie Village Mall Entrance at
initial construction stage. It is my opinion that capacity problems at
the intersection may exist immediately upon completion without
signalization. Therefore, the Resolution of Approval requests that the
County perform a traffic study in an effort to determine if the
installation can be constructed immediately.
C. You will note that there is a median proposed along the entire segment
of CSAH 4 with openings at Luther Way, Wagner Way and Terrey Pine Drive
only. We have discussed this matter with Hennepin County at great
length and I concur that this is the proper traffic design to follow.
However, the access for Super America will change with this
construction. Sheldon Avenue and the second access to Prairie Village
Mall will also have reduced turning movements available.
D. Finally, the Resolution asks that Hennepin County coordinate their
project to provide for a pedestrian overpass over TH 5, if that
installation does proceed.
I will be available at the Council meeting to show you the proposed plan and to
further discuss the project.
