Pidcock opened discussion on Item B of the Consent Calendar. Pidcock
mentioned concerns about doing this for one campaign and said her stand on
this issue is still the same as last year.
Bentley mentioned that United Way is numerous organizations and not just
one organization and believes it's totally appropriate to support this. Peterson
agreed with Bentley.
Pidcock said she is not withholding her support. Pidcock suggested if Council
is going to get into proclaiming weeks for campaigns, they should do it for all
worthwhile campaigns.
City Council Minutes 4 July 7, 1987
Peterson said the fact that we proclaim the week of August 17 for the United
Way does not preclude other organizations from doing the same. It doesn't
mean this is the only one the Council will support and endorse.
Bentley asked about Item H. Wanted to know who's going to be responsible
for any interest rates that exceed six percent. Jullie responded the plan is to
borrow internally from the Utility Improvement Fund and Staff doesn't
anticipate going to market with that.
Pidcock questioned Item F. Wanted to know if the contractor can be penalized
for coming back for $16,000 more. Dietz responded that most change orders
they have deal with soil borings and that the contractor should not be
penalized since he is bidding the contracts in good faith.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to approve Items A & B,
Items D - J, and Items L - 0 of the Consent Calendar. Motion carried 5-0-0.

Preliminary Plat.
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been published
and property owners within the project vicinity had been notified.
Terry Schneider, representing the proponent, addressed the proposal.
Planning Director Enger stated this was reviewed at the June 8th and June
22nd Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission
recommended approval on a 6 - 0 vote for mixed Planned Unit Development
of residential and open space, subject to the June 19th plans and Staff reports
of June 5th and June 19th.
Enger said the Planning Commission recommended approval of the project as
proposed subject to the following: Provide a plan depicting the proper number
of replacement trees; provide retaining wall detail; provide signage to go on
the back of the townhouses that the area is zoned multiple family.
• Enger said the proponent has redone grading plans which puts townhouse
units below the single family units rather than straight slope with uninterrupted
sight line.
Enger mentioned there are variances required for some lots along the creek.
Since development is being moved off the other 21 acres some resulting lot
sizes are slightly lower than allowed under the Shoreland Ordinance.
Director of Community Services Robert Lambert said the Parks,Recreation and
:1 1:27
City Council Minutes 6 July 7, 1987
Natural Resources Commission reviewed this proposal on June 15th. Stated
there are five items relating to Parks, Recreation and Natural Resource issues.
One, park dedication in lieu of park fees. Two, floodplain gift to the Eden
Prairie Foundation. Three, trail connections between neighborhoods. Four,
grading and tree replacement. Five, floodplain and Shoreland Ordinances.
Lambert stated the developer is willing to dedicate 21.1 acres of Outlet A in
lieu of park fees which far exceeds what the ordinance requires and Staff
recommends accepting park dedication in lieu of park fees.
Lambert said the developer is proposing to give 30 acres of floodplain to the
Eden Prairie Foundation, which transfers title back to the City.
Lambert talked about the trail connections between neighborhoods. Stated
that the neighborhood agreed to a natural or grass kind of trail connection.
Community Services has no problem with a natural trail connection.
Lambert said the other trail connection relates to the sidewalk system and
recommends developer extend a sidewalk between the single family
development and multiple family development south to where the sewer
easement will cross the floodplain. There Community Services Staff would
recommend a soft surface woodchip or aglime type of a trail crossing the creek
to connect to the hard surface trail that exists.
Lambert stated that the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
voted on a 6 - 0 vote to approve those recommendations.
Bentley asked about Mr. Helmer's letter to the Chairman of the Planning
Commission relative to drainage on the site. Mr. Schneider points out the
specific location on the map. Dietz said the request was one of two
possibilities, one, reroute the drainage way back onto the outlot. The drainage
would go up hill in order to move to the west. Two, put the drainage way into a
pipe. This would have been particularly expensive.
Dietz recommended to the Council that it require there be a berm placed
across the end of the pond on the southerly end. Also, a pipe that would outlet
the water from the area at the same flow rate as today.
Mr. Scheinder said he'd given Mr. Helmer a letter indicating they will put in at t
their expense a heavy crushed rock liner in the normal drainage way that goes
through the back of his property.
City Council Minutes 7 July 7, 1987
Peterson asked if that drainage is natural or is it constructed. Mr. Scheinder
pointed out where the natural drainage was before the homes were
constructed.
Harris asked about maintenance costs on mowed versus chip or aglime trail.
Lambert stated that total hours per year would be similar.
Anderson asked how a person would get to other parts of the City if that
person can't drive a car. Lambert said if a person was going to Eden Prairie,
that person would go south and cross the creek and go up through that trail
system.
Anderson asked if the City has to have the trail system in order to get to some
parts of Eden Prairie. Lambert said that was correct. Anderson mentioned the
neighborhood would be isolated because a person would have to go
Townline Road to County Road 4, then down 4 to the high school, ball fields,
swimming beach. Lambert agreed with Anderson and mentioned a person
could go out through the grass trail and through the existing neighborhood or
go south through Timber Creek 1st Addition.
Anderson asked Lambert if Lambert has ridden a bicycle on a woodchip trail.
Lambert said he had. Anderson asked how it worked for him and Lambert
stated, "Not very well."
Peterson asked about winter maintenance on a grass or chip trail as opposed t
to a hard surface. Lambert said the City would not maintain an open trail in the
wintertime. Lambert mentioned some hard surface trails that are heavily used
are maintained by the City in the wintertime.
Anderson asks where the nearest park is for residents of Timber Creek North.
Lambert stated Edenwood Park to the south. Anderson asks how a person
gets there from Timber Creek North and Mr. Schneider refers to a map to
answer Anderson's question.
Anderson asks if the planned trail is a transportation trail or recreational trail.
Lambert stated a transportation trail across the creek. Anderson asked if
transportation trails are made of woodchips. Lambert stated transportation
trails are not made of woodchips.
Pidcock asked what the retaining walls will be constructed of. Enger stated
they're proposed as timber retaining walls. Pidcock asked how long they last.
Enger said if they're not made of proper material they will deteriorate and
City Council Minutes 8 July 7, 1987
stated there are a couple pressure treated products out which will last 20 years
and Staff is recommending the walls be made with pressure treated timbers.
Peterson asked how supportive the developer is to have signage indicating
multiple family units are going to be developed. Mr. Scheinder replied they are
planning on having it in the purchase agreement that the buyer understands
this is a PUD and approved for multiple and single family dwellings.
Duane Hilleman, 16780 Whittington Walk, stated he was totally against this
plan. He does not want multi-family dwellings across on the northeast side of
the creek and stated there was an archeology discovery down by the glacial
plain lake done by a professor at Normandale. Stated in the spring you can't
cross the creek because of flooding.
Gary Johnson, 16791 Whittington Walk, said he agreed with everything Duane
Hilleman said.
Judy Lindblad, 15916 North Eden Drive, opposes this project and that when
they moved there that area was zoned rural and thought it would always be
woods. Said her view will be gone.
Robert Helmer, 6416 Creekview Lane, stated he sent the letter with the
drainage problem in his backyard. He said he's satisfied with agreement Mr.
Schneider talked about. He feels it's a good development.
Chris Carney, 15908 North Eden Drive, stated he bought his house on the
stipulation this area was to remain wooded. Said he only found out about this
project two and a half months ago from neighbor.
Bentley asked Mr. Carney if he received a Public Hearing Notice on this issue.
Mr. Carney said he did receive notice.
Helen Savage, 15924 North Eden Drive, stated they bought their house for the
view. Stated that she understood the area immediately behind their home was
to be left as a floodplain.
Duane Hilleman asks if there's ever been an Environmental Impact Study
done on the Purgatory Creek area as part of the floodplain area. Lambert
stated there's never been one done on the Purgatory Creek system, an EAW
was done on a trail section of the creek but not this section.
Enger stated there was an environmental assessment worksheet prepared on

maintain the physical characteristics given the demands for the development.
Peterson asked Lambert about the practicality or feasibility of bridging or
crossing that creek. Lambert stated the reason for the woodchip trail is
because is infeasible to put a hard surface trail across the creek.
Paul Schoiniere, 15819 North Eden Drive, wishes it could be preserved as a
natural area. Thinks the developer has done a fine job explaining to the
residents nearby what they are doing. Doesn't understand why the park board
insists on putting a connecting link from one side to the other side and bridging
the creek. Said he thinks it's against the Comprehensive Purgatory Creek
Study.
Joe Morin, 15820 South Eden Drive, stated that the residents are entitled to
more park land. And requested the City purchase more of this land and
dedicate it for park land. He referred to a Resident's Report to the City Council
dated August 19, 1980, describing results of petition drive and reasons for
more park land.
Anderson stated the City of Eden Prairie's first bond issue that it passed for the
park program was to preserve as much of the amenities of the community as it
could. In 1974-1975 the City of Eden Prairie tried to preserve as much as what
it considered the natural amenities in Eden Prairie. At that time the City
believed Purgatory Creek was one of those and conducted a Purgatory Creek
Study. Stated this is happening because of the Purgatory Creek Study.
Anderson said very few infringements are being made on that floodplain.
Anderson said that in 1979 the City Council said they were going to try to
make it easier to get from one place in the City to another. He said there is
definitely a need for this. He also said the developer has done an excellent
job in preserving as much land as he possibly can.
Joe Morin referred to the 1979 Eden Prairie Park Bond Referendum for
acquisition of park land and wanted to know why the funds weren't used for
acquiring park land.
Lambert stated that the three parks that have funds designated by the
referendum are Hidden Ponds, Creekwood and Red Rock.
Bentley said that they are here to review what he sees as a betterment of the
previous approval, not to discuss the merits of purchasing more park land.
77c
City Council Minutes 11 July 7, 1987
Duane Hilleman talked about the 1981 guideplan for that area and that it was
to remain rural. Concerned what happened to the original 1980 or 1981
Guide Plan.
Bentley said Mr. Hilleman is confusing Guide Plan and PUD and rezoning. He
went on to explain what a Guide Plan is and does. Also explained how the
zoning works for undeveloped parcels in Eden Prairie. Bentley said one of the
purposes of the PUD is to cluster or in some cases preserve natural amenities,
etc.
Pidcock asked the developer how much the proposed townhouses are going
to cost. Mr. Schneider stated $140,000 to $150,000 range.
Tom Schroeder, 6318 Creekview Lane, said he believes the developer has
done a good job preserving what can be preserved. Disagreed with putting
blacktop down on the trail systems. Pointed out the children will go to different
school districts in the area and will not be interacting together as much.
Paul Schoiniere mentioned he concern for flooding in the area and how the
trail system will be maintained with flooding. Peterson said he has confidence
in the Staff to construct a crossing to withstand the flooding.

City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been published
and property owners within the project vicinity had been notified.
Lori Johnson, representing the proponent, addressed the proposal. Ms.
Johnson corrected the Resolution to four single family residential lots plus one
lot for a maintenance building.
Don McGlynn, developer, was available to answer questions.
Director of Planning Chris Enger stated the Planning Commission reviewed
this item at the June 8th meeting and recommended on a 5 - 0 vote approval of
the plan dated May 18, 1987, subject to Staff recommendations of June 15th
Staff report.
Bob Hawkinson, 9515 Clubhouse Road, mentioned his concern over the
driveway location for the development and the traffic backup it may cause.
Peterson asked Ms. Johnson about the possibility of realigning the road. Ms.
Johnson said due to the trees they did not align the roads.
Dietz responded that Staff would like to align roadways. But the previous
submittal did take out the trees and they decided the traffic was not sufficient to
warrant environmental damage by relocating the road.
Bob Hawkinson, 9515 Clubhouse Road, mentioned if you drive south on
Clubhouse Road and pretend to drive into this area, a person would not hit a
tree. Enger said it looks like the driveway would go under the dripline of the
tree.
Peterson asked if it were placed under the dripline, would it kill the tree. Enger
responded that it probably would.
Don McGlynn stated that with the first addition of Olympic Hills they moved
Clubhouse Road 30 to 40 feet to accommodate six oak trees and that there is
not one oak tree left of those six trees.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public Hearing

issues.

the June 8th meeting and recommended approval on a 5 - 0 vote, subject to
plans dated April 24th and Staff report of June 5th.
Bentley asked Mr. Enger if this project is going to develop as office/warehouse
buildings.
Enger responded the inner loop of the project always has been anticipated to
be office/warehouse with outside the loop as office. Bentley said he wants the
Council to hold firm on office use for the outside area since it's a highly visible
site.
Pidcock asked if the buildings could be made more imaginative looking from
'11
City Council Minutes 14 July 7, 1987
the outside. Anderson agreed with Ms. Pidcock. Anderson also mentioned
trying to save the trees in the area.
Enger said they spent a lot of time talking to the proponents about the tree
issue. He said with the plan the proponents have they may be able to save the
trees, but it would be in the middle of their loading dock area. The proponents
proposed to replace the trees two for one.
Enger addressed the issue on being more imaginative and stated the entire
office/warehouse product has changed since 1981. Peterson agreed with
Enger.
Pidcock asked how much lighting there will be in the parking lot. Mr. Dunn
responded that there will be pole lights and wall packs on all the buildings with
light line coming out to the second row of parking.

equipment. City Manager Jullie said the City doesn't and explained the cost.
Anderson asked if there was an agreement with Matt's Auto for towing
services. City Attorney Pauly said the City does not, but there is discussion
whether the City should have one.
Anderson thought the business should go to a local company. Pauly said that
Matt's apparently has some equipment for larger rigs. Pauly said there's a
proposal to seek a contract for towing services and have been reviewing it.
Peterson asked Jullie if it's proper to call Lehman & Associates "legal services"
and asked if it was consulting services. Jullie said it was engineering
consulting services.

seek bids on towing services.
Bentley questioned why the Council is doing this at this time without proper
City Council Minutes 17 July 7, 1987
input from Staff. Anderson replied through the years they've had many
complaints about residents taking business outside of the community.
Bentley stated that it might be more appropriate now to simply put the issue on
the Agenda for the next meeting so Council can discuss the issue. Peterson
said he would vote against this and suggests to explore the feasibility and
report back to Council.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Pidcock, to include on the Agenda
the City seeks bids on towing services. Motion failed 3-1-1. Bentley opposed,
Harris abstained.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Peterson, to place the towing service
item on the next regularly scheduled Council meeting agenda. Motion fails
3-2-0. Pidcock and Anderson opposed.
VI. PETITIONS. REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Ameal of the Decision of the Board of Appeals—Anderson's Garden Shoppe
City Manager Jullie said the Board of Appeals on June 11th denied the
required variance request for this item. He informed the Council they may
overrule the Board of Appeals and grant the variance request. Jullie
mentioned the certain findings which are incorporated into the minutes below.
"FINDINGS OF FACT FOR REVERSAL OF BOARD OF APPEALS DENIAL OF
VARIANCE REQUESTS FOR ANDERSON'S GARDEN CENTER
"1. The City Council believes that the Board of Appeals did not
adequately consider the merits of the individual variances, but
rather, focused on land use and the City Council believes that
the land use as proposed is the highest and best use of the
property.
"2. If the property is developed as proposed, it will operate as a
good transitional land use between commercial and residential
uses.
"3. Although there is a request for outside display for sale of retail
materials beyond the 10% allowed by City code, the nature of
the material is harmonious with the surrounding area. This will
be assured by the developer executing a restrictive covenant for
Jr.j
City Council Minutes 18 July 7, 1987
the use of the property.
"4. The land use, as proposed, is at a much lower floor area ratio
than allowed by City Code.
"5. Implementation of the developer's plan will more promptly
correct maintenance problems evident on the property today.
"6. If the proponent's information is correct, traffic to the property
will be low.
"7. Although the lot area is smaller than allowed by City Code, if
taken together with the existing Little Red Grocery Store, it
would meet the intent of the City Code for lot size minimum.
"8. The variance request for exterior materials of the building has
been dropped, and the building proposed should be in keeping
with the surrounding area."
City Attorney Pauly said there were a couple of comments in the previous
hearing concerning the present state of the property, that it's something of a
substandard state. If Council should take that into consideration in the
connection of hardship, that is one of the legal criteria for granting the
variance.
City Attorney Pauly stated he supplied the following information which sets out
the legal criteria in addition to the factual findings Mr. Jullie referred to.
"LEGAL FINDINGS FOR GRANTING OF A VARIANCE FROM PROVISIONS
OF THE CODE RELATING TO ZONING
"1. Strict enforcement of the Code provision would cause undue
hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual
property under consideration.
"a. The property can not be put to a reasonable use if used under
conditions allowed by the zoning provisions of the Code.
"b. The need for the variance is due to circumstances unique to
the property not created by the land owner.
"c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the
<2tqf
City Council Minutes 19 July 7, 1987
locality.
"2. The granting of the variance will be in keeping with the spirit
and intent of the Code."
Fred Hoisington, representing the proponent, addressed the proposal.
Bentley said he would support a request to reverse the Board of Appeals and
Adjustments because they were aware when granting the zoning approval for
the variances. He also mentioned he would like to set up a meeting with the
Board of Appeals and Adjustments and discuss exactly what its role is in this
process.
Anderson mentioned the fact of the 7 - 0 vote not to approve by the Planning
Staff and the recommendation for nonapproval by the Staff and the 5 - 0
recommendation by the Board of Appeals and Adjustment for denial; when
Council disagrees with that many people, Council should take another look at
this issue.
Bentley pointed out that what comes to the Council is a recommendation, it is
not an approval, it is not a denial. He stated that based upon the minutes of
the Board of Appeals and Adjustment, the discussion that was had was
necessarily appropriate to what the Board of Appeals and Adjustment's role is.
Eugene Grover, 16390 Westgate Drive, stated his objections over the variance
request and stated they were assured it was going to be residential when the
bought their house.
Peterson addressed the other Public Hearings and the vast majority of
neighbors who were in support of the project.
Stewart Horn, representing the proponents, addressed the architectural issues
of the building.
Pidcock assured Mr. Grover that properties like this are monitored so things
that aren't permitted within its use are happening.
Anderson asked Ms. Pidcock what happens to property values with single
family next to commercial. Pidcock replied she would see it as very favorable
since you have single family down the street almost to the bank. She does not
see a problem with that.
;
I
City Council Minutes 20 July 7, 1987
Pidcock said she would see this as a good buffer zone between the residential
and commercial. Anderson asked if it can be a low key buffer with that amount
of outdoor space. Peterson replied it's not going to be stacks of lumber or
mounds of sand but plantings.
Harris said the other side is the number of neighbors who came forward in
support of the proposal. Said she was impressed with the drawings of the
plans and felt it would be a tasteful buffer to that particular community.
Pidcock added that once the restrictions are in place that another owner could
not come in and use the property for a different type of store.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to overrule the Board of
Appeals decision and that we grant Variance Request No. 87-20 and attach
the Findings of Fact and the legal findings. Motion carried 4-1-0 with
Anderson opposing.
Anderson states it becomes very serious for the City when City Council does
not take into consideration the other boards and staff. It's important the City
have credibility with the community and doesn't make a habit of rezoning
property. Anderson mentioned that anybody would be threatened when they
buy zoned single family property and the property is rezoned to something
else.

I. STATUS REPORT ON DAMAGE AREAS
The City Manager underscored the severity of the rainfall which had
occurred in Eden Prairie during the previous week. As an example, the
City Offices recorded four inches of rain on July 20 and ten inches on
July 23 - 24. Other parts of Eden Prairie received even more rainfall
during these rain events. The amount of rain received was beyond any-
thing that the stormwater drainage systems could handle.
The Director of Public Works reported on the status of major problem
areas. Along Fairway Drive, the water level had receded and the pumps
were removed at 9:00 AM July 27. Repairs to water and sanitary sewer
mains on the south side of County Road 1 east of Purgatory Creek had
been completed at 4:30 PM July 27. On Smetana Lane, three houses had
been isolated; access to the houses should be open by the end of
the day on July 28. A large ponding area on Anderson Lakes Parkway
west of Preserve Boulevard would take a long time to recede. There was
no way to make physical changes without threatening structures and
properties downstream at Neill Lake.
Improved public roadways had been cleared over the weekend. The
gravelled roads of Research Road, Mitchell Road, and Staring Lane
had been restored by July 27. The rest of the gravel road system
would be restored by July 28. Much additional work would be needed
along roadways for such things as restoration of roadway embankments.
Round Lake had risen about 7 feet and pumping at the lake was
expected to begin by the end of the week.
The City Manager reviewed damage to private property. Most of the
damage was related to water and generally affected lower floors of
buildings, landscaping, and retaining walls. There had been a small
amount of structural damage to private buildings. Reports on damage
were coming to the City and to Hennepin County through its hot line
phone number. He reported that no properties were currently in a
flooding situation.
Councilmember Bentley reported that a pump was being set up along
Anderson Lakes Parkway late this afternoon. City Manager reported
- 2 -
problems with children playing and swimming in the two ponded inter-
sections (Anderson Lakes Parkway/Preserve Boulevard, and Valley View
Road/Edenvale Boulevard). Security at these areas would be
strengthened during daylight hours beginning Tuesday and run through
the end of the week. Councilmember Harris asked that continuous
efforts be made with the news media to publicize these problem areas.
II. REPORT FROM OTHER AGENCIES ON DISASTER ASSISTANCE
Charles "Corky" Stevenson, Hennepin County Director of Emergency
Preparedness, reported on the County Assistance Program. The County
program consists of a pro-rated reassessment of homesteaded
property. A minimum of 25 homes with at least $5,000 damage is
necessary to qualify for the program. Owners of homesteaded properties
get a pro-rated reduction off next year's taxes, and the City is
reimbursed for the loss of revenue through this damage rebate program.
He stressed that there was not a lot of money involved here. To
apply, the City needed to adopt a resolution asking for a reassessment.
The resolution is sent to the Governor who then asks his executive
council to approve the request. Stevenson then highlighted the
Presidential Declaration Program. Under this program, the Federal
government would contribute 75% of the costs to repair or replace
public facilities. The Presidential Program is a comprehensive one,
and one easier to qualify because a larger area (the County or the
metropolitan area) is involved. Another relief program is
administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA). It is a
low-cost loan available for residences and businesses. Qualifications
requires at least 25 homes or businesses in the County with greater
than 40% uninsured losses. This is the only program available to
commercial entities. Stevenson concluded by speaking about coverage
on County facilities, and noted that the County was well informed on
the condition of its roads.
Stevenson then introduced Dave Lundberg, Planner with the Division of
Emergency Services, Minnesota Department of Public Services, and Howard
Strabela, the Metropolitan Coordinator for the Division of Emergency
Services.
Lundberg stated that damage assessment teams were in the field.
At this time, 15 Federal assessment teams were in the metropolitan
area, and they were uncovering more damage than they had expected.
The objective of the work was to go through all affected areas and
find as much information as possible. It was expected that a request
for Presidential Declaration would be made Thursday or Friday, and
Lundberg was cautiously optimistic for approval. Harris asked how
long an approval might take, and Lundberg said that optimistically,
it should occur within two to three days.
Councilmember Pidcock asked if there were any minimum monetary amounts
required for qualification. Lundberg said that there was not, and
that the disaster designation is a subjective process because dollar
amounts of loss will have differing impacts on local economies because
of the size of a community or its geographic region.
Bentley asked if there were any advantages to having local officials
contact others in the Federal government. Lundberg responded that it
is always helpful to show a broader base of support. He underscored
the Governer's interest in getting a Disaster Declaration quickly.

The City Manager asked if there were any disadvantage or
disqualification to the City or homeowners who have begun repairs
prior to an inspection or a declaration. Lundberg said that
there should not be a disqualification. He advised that persons who do
begin these repairs make plenty of documentation and also take
photographs.
Lundberg said that one-stop service centers would be established if
necessary and would be well-publcized. Other programs available
included an individual and family grant program, in which those who
did not qualify for a SBA loan would have up to $5,000 available, and
a temporary repair and housing program, in which temporary housing
could be provided for up to one year.
Mayor Peterson asked if the term "areas of need" is liberally defined.
Lundberg responded that the term is rather narrowly defined to the
necessities for living.
Bentley stressed that all of these programs are contingent upon
a Presidential Declaration.
Strabela introduced himself to the Council. Bentley and Stevenson
commented that the County program is in process because the City
Assessor is gathering information for application to the County.
Lundberg noted that the City will need to submit an Indication of
Interest in the benefits of the Presidential Declaration. After that
is done, individual project applications may be made by the City. He
stressed that the programs available through the Federal government
are separate: one is for individuals, and the other is for public
agencies such as the City.
III. RESOLUTION NO. 87-205
Peterson noted that the reason for this Resolution was to formalize
the Mayor's Declaration of Disaster within three days of that
Declaration (the Declaration was declared on Friday, July 25, 1987).
Councilmember Anderson moved and Harris seconded to adopt Resolution
No. 87-205 entitled "A Resolution Requesting Homestead Properties
Damaged by the July 23, 1987 Rainstorm be Reassessed for Purpose of
Special Tax Credit". He recited language in the City Code which
stated that during a natural disaster requiring a Declaration of a
State of Emergency, the continuity of duly elected and lawful
leadership of the City and continuity of government required that the
Council meet forthwith. He questioned the leadership exhibited during
this affair. Pidcock thought that the notification of the emergency
was handled poorly. Bentley noted that the Code stated that an
emergency declaration can be done only by action of the full City
Council.
Councilmembers expressed frustration in not knowing how they were
supposed to function during the natural disaster. All acknowledged
that the people involved in the situation functioned well. Bentley
wished to point out that the Council could learn from this experience
and be better prepared in the future. Peterson questioned how the
emergency could have been handled any differently.
Apo,
- 4 -
Several Councilmembers suggested that an annual update would be
helpful regarding how they might best serve, or what their
responsibilities would be during emergencies. Peterson stressed the
difference between policy-making responses and operational responses.
The consensus of the Council was to have a study session on this
matter.
The Director of Public Safety noted that there may be conflict between
the language in the City Code and the Emergency Plan. He noted that
State and Federal Statutes prescribe procedure, and often identify the
Mayor as the responsible elected official during such situations.
Bentley said that the Mayor was an equal member of the Council.
Pidcock related her inability to make telephone connections to the
City. She suggested that Councilmembers have access to non-published
telephone numbers.
IV. ADJOURNMENT
Bentley moved and Pidcock seconded to adjourn the meeting at 7:24 PM.
Motion carried 4 - 0.

SUBJECT: Contract Award for Tennis Court Construction at Eden Valley Park,
Edenbrook Park, Homeward Hills Park and Sterling Field
In 1982 the Sterling Field Homeowner's Association made a request to the
C

y
C
o
u
n
c
i
l
to resurface their multi-purpose court, which was in need of repair. Th

C
o

reluctant to allocate funds while the park was controlled by the Homeown

operations of the Sterling Field Park and has been maintaining and upgra

facilities. The multi-use court has not yet been resurfaced and is now
i
n
d
e
s
p
e
r
a
t
e
need of repair.
Eden Valley Park was graded and seeded in the spring of 1985. Last year
p

Improvements included the addition of a parking lot to accommodate 16 ca

Edenbrook Park was also graded and seeded during the summer of 1985.
T

ENGINEERING REPORT ON FINAL PLAT

FROM: Jeffrey Johnson, Engineering Technician
DATE: August 12, 1987
SUBJECT: JARRETT ESTATES
(A.K.A. ANDERSON GARDEN CENTER)
PROPOSAL: Don C. and Rita L. Anderson have requested City Council approval of
the Final Plat of Jarrett Estates, a single family and commercial
subdivision located East of County Road 4 and South of Valley View
Road in the South half of Section 8. The plat contains 3.13 acres to
be divided into five single family lots and one lot for commercial
use which will be the site of the proposed Anderson's Garden Center,
and road right-of-way for street purposes.
HISTORY: The Preliminary Plat was approved by the City Council June 2, 1987
per resolution 87-146.
Second reading of Ordinance #29-87, zoning district change from R1-22
to community commercial on 1.27 acres and from R1-22 to R1-13.5 on 1.6
acres was finally read and approved by the City Council July 7, 1987.
The Developer's Agreement referred to within this report was executed
July 7, 1987.
VARIANCES: All variances must be processed through the Board of Appeals.
UTILITIES AND STREETS: All municipal utilities, roadways and walkways will be
installed in conformance with City Standards and the requirements of
the Developer's Agreement. Prior to release of the Final Plat, the
Developer must provide the City Engineer with final construction plans
for streets, sewer, water, storm sewer and erosion control, and receive
City Engineers approval of said plans. In addition, the Developer shall
enter into a special assessment agreement for the construction of a
sidewalk along County Road 4.
A portion of this parcel (0.84 acres) has not been previously assessed
for trunk sewer and water. This comes to an amount of $2,394.00.
Because the Garden Center portion of this plat shares a driveway with
the Little Red Grocery Store, it will be necessary to get cross-access
easements prior to release of the Final Plat.
Additional drainage and utility easements may be required depending upon
the final construction plans.

Background
This site is currently designated on
the Eden Prairie Comprehensive Guide
Plan for development as High Density
Residential, Public Open Space, and
Regional Commercial land uses.
Adjacent properties are guided for
Public Open Space to the north; High
Density Residential and Office to
the south; U.S. 169 to the east;
and, Public Open Space and Medium
Density Residential to the west.
Specific land uses in this area
include vacant property proposed for
Fountain Place Apartments 2 July 24, 1987
the development of the Purgatory Creek Recreational Area to the north; U.S. 169 to
the east; Purgatory Creek and vacant property to the west; and, the Eden Place
Apartments, zoned RM-2.5 to the south.
Comprehensive Guide Plan
The proponent is requesting a Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Public Open Space
and Regional Commercial to High Density Residential to allow for the development of
490 apartment units. Based upon a total land area of 50.45 acres, approximately
29.3 acres will be guided High Density Residential while 21.1 acres will remain
guided as Public Open Space. Mitigating measures to support a Comprehensive Guide
Plan Change include the location of the project within the Major Center Area (MCA)
where higher densities are expected; preservation of, and ultimate dedication of,
21.1 acres of floodplain for use within the Purgatory Creek Recreational Area;
preservation of the site's natural resources including slopes and wooded areas; the
proposed extension of roadways including Columbine Road; and, the connection to U.S.
169 to aid in traffic movement and accessibility throughout the entire Anderson
Lakes Parkway/U.S. 169 area.
Site Plan
A total of 490 apartment units within 6 buildings are being proposed at a net
density of 16.72 units per acre which is allowable within the High Density
Residential land use classification and RM-2.5 zoning district. In addition,
amenities proposed include a Community Center, outdoor pool, and a tennis court
located adjacent to the floodplain. These buildings, including underground parking,
range in size from 79,616 square feet for Building 1 to approximately 193,860 square
feet for Building 2. The plans depict 507 on-grade parking stalls with a total of
998 parking stalls being provided. City Code would require a total of 980 parking
stalls based upon two parking stalls per unit. All building and parking areas meet
or exceed the minimum requirements of the RM-2.5 zoning district. As the plans
depict, there are two phases of development for this project. Phase I would include
Buildings 1-4 which would result in a total of 332 units with the remaining units
constructed at some later date.
Because of the location adjacent to the floodplain and future location of the
Purgatory Creek Recreational Area, the site plan was designed to minimize the
impacts of the large buildings on the proposed uses in this area. This was
accomplished through the orientation of Buildings 3 and 4 with the sides of the
building facing the floodplain with a floodplain storage area located between the
two parking areas. In addition, Buildings 5 and 6 were oriented in such a manner to
take advantage of the views of the floodplain while also being setback from the 100-
year flood elevation approximately 140 feet for Building 5. The buildings, because
of the slope on the site, have been recessed into the slope approximately 30 feet
below Columbine Road which also serves in reducing building mass.
Access to this parcel is provided by the Columbine Road extension and a temporary
access onto U.S. 169. The temporary access is located at the site of the future
full movement intersection and currently consists of right turns in only for safety
reasons. A temporary access permit will be required from the State of Minnesota.
Plans also depict the extension of a roadway to the west which services the Carmody
property and ultimately connecting to Magnolia Trail. The proponent shall submit a
preliminary sketch drawing depicting this road connection prior to City Council
review.
Fountain Place Apartments 3 July 24, 1987
Preliminary Plat
The preliminary plat depicts a total of 4 lots and 1 outlot. This lot configuration
allows for the development of the buildings in conjunction with the proposed phasing
plan. Outlot A, located along the northern property line and containing
approximately 21.14 acres, shall be dedicated to the City. Lot 1, Block 1, is
proposed to remain as open space by the CSM Corporation. As part of the platting
process, the proponent is dedicating a 70-foot right-of-way for Columbine Road, a
50-foot right-of-way for a road connection to the west, and a 100-foot right-of-way
for the construction of a full intersection with U.S. 169-212.
Shoreland/Floodplain
Due to the project's location within 1,000 feet of Purgatory Creek, it has been
classified as shoreland and subject to the following requirements:
A. No structure shall be placed nearer than 50 feet from the right-of-way line
of any town road, public street, or other road, street, or highway, which is
not classified.
B. All structures, except non-residential agricultural structures, shall not
exceed 30 feet in height.
C. The total area of all impervious surfaces on a lot shall not exceed 30% of
the total lot area.
D. Structures shall be placed at an elevation two feet above the 100-year
frequency flood level.
In response to this, the proponent has met all of the requirements of the Shoreland
Ordinance with the exception of B and C. The proponent shall submit an application
and receive a variance from the Board of Appeals for variances to exceed maximum
building height and impervious surface.
The 100-year floodplain elevation in this location is at the 824 contour. As the
plans depict, in order to accommodate Buildings 3, 4, 5, and 6, some fill is
required within the floodplain. Based upon the Purgatory Creek Watershed District
regulations, no more than 11.6% of the volume of the floodplain can be filled.
Plans have been submitted for review and approval by the Watershed District.
Traffic
A traffic study was done by Benshoof & Associates, Inc., to study the impact of the
development of this project on the adjacent roadways. Their conclusions are as
follows:
1. The Anderson Lakes Parkway/U.S. 169 intersection will be operating at level
of service F at mid-1989.
2. Columbine Road shall be extended to Prairie Center Drive with the
development of this project. The reasons for this include:
A. It would allow the occupancy of Fountain Place Apartments without
Fountain Place Apartments 4 July 24, 1987
additional impact on U.S. 169/Anderson Lakes Parkway intersection.
B. It improves the accessibility for Fountain Place and other area
developments.
C. It may allow for the improved operation of the U.S. 169/Anderson
Lakes Parkway intersection by trip diversion.
D. The extension of Columbine Road shall provide an alternative route
during the U.S. 169 upgrading.
3. The temporary access proposed from Columbine Road to U.S. 169 can improve
area accessibility for the Fountain Place Apartment project, the Eden Place
Apartment project, and the existing commercial retail center on the corner
of U.S. 169 and Anderson Lakes Parkway.
4. The permanent access which would be located in the same position as the
temporary access shall be designed for safe and effective traffic
operations.
As part of this study, the 1989 traffic forecasts for U.S. 169 and Anderson Lakes
Parkway indicates that the intersection will operate at level of service F for both
the a.m. and p.m. peak hours without the Fountain Place proposal. In order to
alleviate any additional traffic impacts, Columbine Road shall be extended to
Prairie Center Drive with the development of this project. As a condition for
approval, the proponent shall petition for the construction of Columbine Road to
Prairie Center Drive prior to City Council review.
Grading
This site is bordered by the Purgatory Creek floodplain to the north and U.S. 169 to
the south. High points on this site exist at the 876 contour elevation which is
adjacent to the future U.S. 169-212 alignment and sloping in a northerly direction
to the 824 contour elevation which is the 100-yeir floodplain elevation. As the
plans depict, the majority of this site is being graded with the exception of Outlot
A (floodplain) and a significant wooded area located within the center of the
parcel. Cuts of up to 12 feet are expected adjacent to future U.S. 169-212
alignment with fill of approximately 34 feet occuring at the intersection of
Columbine Road and the access to U.S. 169. Preliminary cut and fill calculations
indicate that a total of approximately 50,000 to 75,000 cubic yards of quality
granular fill may be required.
Due to the number of surface parking stalls, a series of berms ranging in height to
approximately 8 feet attempt to screen the proposed parking areas from Columbine
Road. The grading plan is augmented by a landscape plan which specifically tries to
screen parking areas, break up building mass, and provide a soft edge adjacent to
the floodplain. Staff would recommend that the contours along the northern edge of
the development be reshaped in order to provide more of a natural transition between
the two land uses.
Utilities
Water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer service, is available to this project site.
Water service is provided by an extension of an eight-inch water main located within
Fountain Place Apartments 5 July 24, 1987
Columbine Road and a 16-inch water main located along the northwest side of U.S.
#169. Sanitary sewer service will be provided by connecting to an existing 78-inch
sanitary sewer interceptor which is located to the west of the subject property
within the Purgatory Creek Floodplain.
Storm water run-off is proposed to be collected through a series of catch basins
located within Columbine Road, the roadway extension to the west, and throughout the
various parking areas. There are a total of eight outlets located within the site
which would discharge all storm water run-off into the Purgatory Creek Floodplain.
The outlets and catch basin system design shall be subject to review by the City
Engineering Department and the Purgatory Creek Watershed District.
Landscape Plan/Tree Replacement
The landscape plan depicts a total of 2,427 caliper inches of plant material being
located on-site. There is an approximate equal split between coniferous and
decidous trees plus an additional unspecified amount of shrubs which will supplement
the overall landscape plan. In reviewing the plan, Staff would recommend that those
areas adjacent the Purgatory Creek floodplain, in addition to having the contours
reshaped, be planted with additional lowland vegetation common to the Purgatory
floodplain to provide more of a natural transition.
Based upon the submitted tree inventory, there is a total of 1,126 caliper inches of
trees located on this site. Approximately 96 caliper inches of significant trees
are being removed along the southern boundary of the property. Because there are
less than 100 caliper inches being removed, the proponent is required to replace the
96 inches which are included as part of the proposed landscape plan.

Within the complex, there are ten different unit types (5, one-bedroom and 5, two.
bedroom units) ranging in size from a minimum square footage of 725 square feet to E
maximum of 1,889 square feet. The majority of the units will be two-bedroon
containing a total of 1,052 square feet.
Building sizes range from a minimum of approximately 272 feet in length to a maximun
of 570 feet in length. The buildings are all approximately 54 feet in height an
range from 64 feet to 92 feet wide. A variance will be required for building height
greater than 30 feet which can be granted through the PUD District Review. However,
because the property is classified as shoreland, the variance for building height
will be required from the Board of Appeals, as well.
Proposed exterior building materials include facebrick, siding, and asphalt
shingles. The proponent is proposing to construct these units with a maximum of 627
facebrick or better, and 38% wood siding. Section 11.03 K.4., states that "in ail
districts except Rural, R1-44, R1-22, R1-13.5, R1-9.5, and RM-6.5, wood stucco,
vinyl, metal, plastic, or a combination of all these materials shall not comprisE
more than 25% of the buildings exterior finish." In order to be consistent witi -
previously approved apartment complexes including Eden Place and Parkway, thE '
architectural elevations would have to be revised to include approximately 157'
additional facebrick on each of the buildings.
Pedestrian Systems
As part of the overall pedestrian system in this area, a 5-foot concrete sidewalt
and an 8-foot bituminous trail is proposed along Columbine Road. In addition, therE
would be a 5-foot concrete sidewalk along the north side of the road extension tc
the west which shall be continued to a connection along Magnolia Trail. There it
also an appropriate trail connection from the sidewalk and trail along ColumbinE
Road to U.S. 169.
An internal pedestrian system consisting of 5-foot concrete sidewalks and 6-foot
bituminous trails throughout the project are provided to service the communit2
center, pool area, tennis court, and for connections to each of the apartment
buildings. There is also a proposed trail connection to the future City trai
located within Outlot A. The proponent shall dedicate a 20-foot trail easement tc
provide a connection from the road extension to the west to the public trai
adjacent the Purgatory Creek flood plain.
Signage and Lighting
Although no specific signage details have been submitted, an entrance monument sigt
including a fountain is located at the intersection of Columbine Road and the row
extension to the west. In addition, because of the complexity of the apartmen'
layout, directional signage is expected. Any signage proposed is expected to mee
City code.
The proponent is proposing parking lot and driveway lighting with 20-foot cut-of
downcast luminars. Street lighting is also proposed at 30 feet in height and woul
be installed by NSP.
Environmental Assessment Worksheet
The proponent has submitted an EAW required under Subdivision 19, A.(3), whic
Fountain Place Apartments 7 July 24, 1987
states that there be a mandatory EM submitted for 150 more unattached, or 225 o

Planning Coamission Minutes -5- July 27, 1987
D. FOUNTAIN PLACE, by CSM Corporation. Request for Comprehensive
Guide Plan Amendment from Regional Commercial to High Density
Residential on 8 acres and from Public Open Space to High
Density Residential on 4.5 acres, Planned Unit Development
Concept Review on approximately 52 acres, Planned Unit
Development District Review and Zoning District Change from
Rural to RM-2.5 on 29.3 acres with variances, Preliminary Plat
of approximately 52 acres into 4 lots, 1 outlot, and road
right-of-way, and Environmental Assessment Worksheet Review for
construction of a 490-unit apartment project. Location: West
of Highway 1/169, north of Columbine Road. A public hearing.
The developer described briefly the plans for the project including
variances, a guide plan amendment from regional coamercial and open
space to high density residential to allow for development of 490
apartment units. The ordinance calls for 75% brick. The design of
these 4-story buildings is 62% brick. He stated they are asking for
the variance because they have come up with such a good looking
building and would not like to see it go to a 4-story all brick
building. He asked the Planning Commission to consider this even
though the ordinance calls for 75% brick.
Hallett stated the ordinance is at 75% because of maintenance.
Hallett commented that Staff tends to support apartments in the
city. Approval has been give for 2,000 units in the last three
years. Bye asked if the Commission wanted to send a directive to
the City Council on the 75% brick issue. Hallett answered, yes.
.Dodge again expressed concern about the maintenance of the building.
Franzen said a traffic review was done and Columbine Road will be
extended to Prairie Center Drive.

REQUEST:
Background
This property is part of an overall
17.4-acre Planned Unit Development
(PUD) known as the Prairie Center
Business Park approved by the City
Council in March of 1984. This PUD
was amended in October of 1985 by
the Dataserv Corporation from a 3-
building, to a 1-building con-
figuration. Phase I was constructed
in early 1986 consistent with City
Ordinances, including enough parking
to meet the 50% office use maximum
allowed in the 1-2 zoning district.
Future Phase II construction is
proposed to be an expansion of the
Phase I building.
Site Plan
Because of the acquisition of Dataserv by U.S. South, and recent
relocations of employees, the
parking demand is more than our
current parking Code would require.
Current City Code requires parking
Dataserv Parking Lot Expansion 2 July 24, 1987
to be based on building use and square footage rather than by the number of
employees. The existing parking lot provides enough parking based on the square
footage of office, assembly, and warehousing existing in the building.
Since there is no remaining area on the existing site for additional parking, the
proponent is requesting that a portion of Lot 2 be rezoned to 1-2 Park to
accommodate a temporary 161-space parking lot. This lot is designed to be
Incorporated into the future Phase II site plan. Because the existing site meets
City Code with regard to the number of parking spaces, a variance for this proposed
off-site parking will not be required.
As part of the temporary parking lot expansion, the following conditions should
apply:
1. The temporary lot will be used for parking of vehicles only, and will not be
used to accommodate parking for additional office use for Phase I above the
50% allowed by Code in the 1-2 district.
2. The zoning district change is for additional parking needs and will not be
for the construction of any structures on the land area to be rezoned to I-
2.
Grading and Landscaping
Due to the immediate urgency for additional parking, the proponent has applied for a
grading permit and has commenced with construction of the parking lot at this time.
Site grading is being limited to the parking lot and screening berm areas only, with
tree loss confined to some smaller secondary trees which do not require replacement
per the tree replacement policy. The grading will provide for sheet drainage to a
collector area and catch basin which will drain via a storm sewer to Prairie Center
Drive. No concrete curb and gutter has been proposed for the parking lot. The
Engineering Department has reviewed the grading and drainage plans and has indicated
their approval. City Code requires that this parking lot be hard surfaced.
Screening of the parking will be accomplished with the extension of a temporary
screening berm consistent with Phase I. Since the parking lot is temporary in
nature, no provisions for plantings have been proposed, but will be part of the
Phase II building construction. Since a time frame for the construction of Phase II has not been identified at this time, Staff is concerned about the 'temporary"
parking becoming permanent, and, therfore, a planting plan should be required and
implemented if the proponent does not proceed to Phase II within a reasonable time
period. Staff would suggest that in the event that Phase II construction does not
comence before July, 1989, the planting plan should be implemented. Bonding for
the landscaping should be required at this time. In any event, the berm must be
seeded as part of the site restoration process.
STAFF RECOMENDATIONS
Staff would recommend approval of the request for Planned Unit Development Concept
Amendment on 17.4 acres, and Zoning District Change from Rural to 1-2 on 1.5 acres,
based on plans dated June 10, 1987, and the Staff Report dated July 24, 1987, and
subject to the following:
Dataserv Parking Lot Expansion 3 July 24, 1987
( 1. Prior to Council review, proponent shall:
A. Submit a planting plan for the screening berm consistent with Phase
I which will be implemented if Phase II construction does not

2. Prior to 2nd Reading by the City Council, the proponent shall:
A. Submit a landscape performance bond to assure compliance with the
landscaping time frame.
3. The temporary lot will be used for parking of vehicles only, and will not be
used to accommodate parking for additional office use for Phase I above the
50% allowed by Code in the 1-2 district, or the construction of any
additional building on the land area proposed for rezoning.
4. The parking lot will be hard surfaced, and all disturbed areas seeded.

SOUTHWEST CROSSING
The Planning Commission reviewed the Southwest Crossing revisions in the master
plan, and request for rezoning for Phase II at three different meetings. The August
7, 1987, Staff Report to the Planning Commission had indicated initially that the
developer had not fully mitigated the imoacts of density transfer onto Phase II
because the parking areas could not be screened according to City Code. At the
August 10, 1987, Planning Commission meeting, the developer had submitted revised
plans which indicated that the parking areas would be screened from 1-494. The
changes in the plan would include raising the deck approximately three feet to an
elevation of 873, increasing the height of the screening wall 11/2 feet to an
elevation of 878, along the Viking Drive, additional and larger conifers within the
front yard setback, and larger shade trees within the setback. With revisions in
the plans to screen the park in areas, the Planning Commission made a motion to
recommend approval of the request for PUD revisions and rezoning for Phase II
subject to the recommendations contained in the Staff Report dated July 24, 1987.
The Commission also recommended that the items as listed in the Staff Report
referring to restrictive covenants on individual parcels for shoreland setback,
impervious surface, Floor Area Ratio (FAR), and conservancy, would be changed to
having these same restrictions included in the amendment to the master developer's
agreement as long as the agreement is recorded at Hennepin County. The Commission
also recommended that, since the screening of the parking areas from 1-494 was not
to City Code for Phase III, Phase III site plan approval would require that any
future rezoning requests on this parcel would have to demonstrate screening of the
parking areas from 1-494, by one or more of the following: including raising the
level of the deck, increasing the height of the screening wall along Viking Drive,
and additional and larger plant materials within the front yard setback.
The traffic study, prepared by BRW for Vantage, indicates that the intersection of
Prairie Center Drive and Viking Drive will need to be signalized with Phase II
Southwest Crossing. According to BRW, in 1995 (full development) the Prairie Center
Drive/Viking Drive intersection will operate at capacity (level of service F). No
determination has been made as to whether Vantage should participate in the signal
improvement; however, the City commissioned a traffic study of the M.C.A. and should
be done first draft within 30-60 days. The City should then be in a position to
decide how M.C.A. traffic improvements will be paid for.

Background
This is a continued item from the
July 24, 1987, Planning Commission
meeting. At that time, the Planning
Commission has recommended that
development plans be returned to the
proponent for revisions in the plan
to conform with Section 11.03 of the
City Code requiring screening of
parking and loading areas from I-
494, an evaluation of restrictive
covenants for Shoreland setbacks,
FAR, impervious surface, and con-
servancy areas by the City
Attorney's office, and to provide
additional information on traffic
regarding impacts of full develop-
ment of Southwest Crossing on
affective roads and intersections.
AREA LOCATION MAP
Southwest Crossing II 2 August 7, 1987
Density Transfer
The Staff has met several times with the developer since the last Planning
Commission meeting to discuss conformance to City Code and Planning Commission
directives. A number of alternatives have been discussed; however, the proponents
and Staff have concluded that there is not enough room on-site to cost effectively
screen the parking areas according to City Code. This may suggest that too much
density is being transferred to a site which cannot support it.
In density transfer, the future development potential is transferred from one piece
of property (sending site) to another piece of property (receiving site).
Transferring development potential in this situation is an increase in square
footage and parking for Southwest Crossing Phase II and Phase III. Once the density
transfer has occured, typically, legal restrictions are placed on the sending site,
which prohibit the future use of transfer development potential and permits the
receiving sites to develop with additional square footage.
In the 1987 PUD, sites 11, 12, 18, 3, & 5, are sending sites, and sites 8, 9, & 10,
are receiving sites. The degree to which development rights can be transferred is
dependent upon what is gained for the sending site (such as saving natural features)
and if the receiving site can accomodate the additional square footage without
creating significant impacts.
In the 1987 PUP, density transfer works for the eastern end where square footage is
transferred out of an environmentally sensitive area to preserve more of the natural
character of the hills, trees, and creek. However, density is also being
transferred from sites 3 & 5, which do not have natural features and are closer to
1-494 to the west of this project. On sites 3 & 5, 120,000 square feet of density
Is proposed for transfer to Southwest Crossing Phase II and Phase III.
The receiving sites have a threshold, or an amount of development, which can be
accommodated without creating significant impacts. On the sites proposed for
Southwest Crossing Phase II & Phase III, the fact that they are crowded is evidenced
by the request for setback variance from 200 to 95 feet from Lake Smetana and a FAR
of 1.05, which is 100% above the 0.5 allowed per City Code. The increased FAR, in
addition to being above the Ordinance, and requiring height and setback variances
does not leave enough room for screening of parking areas per City Code.
Not transferring the density (120,000 square feet) from sites 3 & 5, would
accomplish the following:
1. Reduced height for Phase III from 14 stories to 10 stories would reduce the
visual impact on Lake Smetana.
2. Reduced building square footage from 362,000 to 242,000 square feet would
reduce the amount of cars on-site by 400.
3. Reduced building square footage of 120,000 square feet (depending on how the
building and parking deck were designed) could allow more setback area
between the building and structures and Lake Smetana, thus reducing the
visual impact.
4. The reduction in building square footage (depending on how the building
parking deck were designed) could allow more setback area between parking
decks and 1-494 which would allow parking to be screened per Ordinance.
Southwest Crossing II 3 August 7, 1987
Restrictive Covenants
As directed by the Planning Commission, the Staff has referred the matter of
restrictive covenants for FAR, Shoreland setback, impervious surface, and
conservancy area to the City Attorney's office. At this time, the City's Attorney
has indicated that if the above restrictions are incorporated into the master
development agreement for Southwest Crossing and is prepared in recordable form, it
will accomplish the same objectives as restrictive covenants on each parcel.
Traffic
At the request of the Planning Commission, Staff consulted with BRW to obtain
additional information with regards to the impact of Southwest Crossing at full
development on adjacent roads and intersections. At this time, BRW has indicated to
the Staff, that by l995, Vantage is expected to be at full development. With a 20%
reduction in traffic for all sites in the MCA (including Southwest Crossing) the
intersection at Viking Drive and Prairie Center Drive would operate at a level of
service F with signalization. The intersection at Prairie Center Drive and Valley
View Road would operate a level of service D with a signal. The intersection at
West 78th Street and Prairie Center Drive would operate at level of service E with a
signal.
The MCA traffic update is not completed. Traffic forecasts and data have been
analyzed to determine that the impacts on roads and intersections; however, the
potential resolutions to improve the traffic and level of service have not been
identified, but are expected to be completed within the next 30 to 60 day period.
We cb know at this time that a signal is necessary at Viking Drive and Prairie
Center Drive and it may be appropriate for the developer to participate with
improvement costs.
As this affects the Southwest Crossing proposal, the p.m. peak hour reduction of 20%
must be met as a minimum and Commission may wish to recommend to the City Council
that subsequent phases be monitored in regards to traffic and that improvements, as
identified in the MCA traffic study, be implemented as warranted. In the event that
traffic improvements can not be made to improve the level of service at this
intersection to an acceptable level, Commission may choose recommend to the City
Council, changes in land use policy with lower FAR's to reduce the p.m. peak hour
traffic not only for Southwest Crossing, but for all sites within the MCA.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The density proposed for Southwest Crossing II & III is above Code, and there is not
enough room on-site to screen the parking areas per Ordinance. This may suggest
that too much of the density is being transferred to the sites proposed for Southwest Crossing Phase II & Phase III.
There are two alternative ways of addressing the density transfer issue:
1. The Planning Commission could recommend approval of Phase II rezoning, and
concept approval of Phase III subject to a reduction in height from 14-10
stories and a reductionin building square footage from 362,000 to 242,000
subject to the recommendations of the Staff Reports dated August 7, 1987,
and July 24, 1987.
Southwest Crossing II 4 August 7, 1987
2. The Planning Commission could recommend that the plans be returned to the
proponents for revisions which would include a revised site plan for Phase
II & III with an overall 120,000 square foot reduction in building square
footage.

setbacks, and building setbacks, for office zoning. The building materials
are in compliance with City Code.
15. An 8-foot wide bituminous trail exists between the proposed buildings and
Smetana Lake and a sidewalk connection is proposed. The 8-foot trail should
be extended to Golden Triangle Drive.
16. Sewer and water service is available and all storm water run-off will drain
into the existing sedimentation ponds.
17. Sight vision distance problems may occur at the northwest driveway
intersection with Viking Drive. The proponents should supply information
necessary to evaluate sight vision distance and may be required to relocate
the driveway if analysis would dictate.
18. An Indirect Source Permit is required by the Pollution Control Agency (PCA)
for parking in excess of 1,000 vehicles.
19. No new EAW is required since the PUD is within the thresholds of a 1974 EAW
as approved by the Environmental Quality Board.
II. OVERALL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW - 109 ACRES
Background - Conditions of 1985 Approval
The 1985 overall PUD, as approved by the City Council, included a base building
square footage of 1.516 million square feet with consideration given up to a maximum
of 1.626 million square feet with each parcel coming back for zoning approval having
to meet specific performance criteria related to traffic including:
1. Traffic information which would indicate that actual traffic counts are less
than anticipated by the current study. (May 1985 BRW Traffic Study)
2. Traffic management programs such as ride-sharing and staggered work shifts
that would reduce the p.m. peak hour traffic.
3. Sensitive grading and minimal tree loss in wooded areas.
4. Higher intensity development which would not precipitate ordinary setback
variances to building and parking.
In addition, approval of the PUD was in concept only for office, commercial, and
industrial land use types, and general location and variance requests for height,
FAR, and building and parking setbacks would be reviewed in detail at the time of
submission of individual site plans and rezoning requests.

1,245,987
The eastern environmentally sensitive portion of the 1987 PUD benefits specifically
on sites 11 and 12, in which the total building square footage is reduced from
approximately 215,000 to 116,000 square feet, a decrease in height from 8 to 6
stories, and two buildings are combined into one building. On site 18, adjacent to
Nine Mile Creek, the building is reduced in height from 4 to 1-story and from 50,000
to 18,000 square feet. These changes will allow for more of the natural character
of the land, the creek corridor, and the significant trees to be preserved than
under the 1985 PUD.
In the 1987 PUD, existing sites 15, 16, and 17, are combined into two sites and the
number of buildings are reduced from 3 to 2 and a reduction in square footage from
140,000 square feet to 137,000 square feet. This is helpful concern since these
sites east of Golden Triangle Road are heavily wooded with mature red and white oak
trees. Without the benefit of a detailed tree inventory, it is difficult to
ascertain the extent of site impacts. However, approval of site plans and building
square footages would be subject to a detailed tree inventory.
On the western end of the 1987 PUD the buildings proposed farther away from Lake
Smetana on sites 3 and 5 have been reduced in height (from 7 to 3 and 4-story) and
in building square footage (325,000 to 205,000). Proposed site 10 (Southwest II &
III) was originally proposed in the 1985 PUD (sites 8, 9, 10) for 3 buildings (5 &
6-story) and a total of 385,000 square feet. In the 1987 PUD, square footage
(120,000) from sites 3 and 5, and square footage (104,000) from sites 11, 12, and
18, on the east end is added to proposed site 10 to create a 10 and 14-story
building totalling 609,000 square feet. One benefit of taller buildings with
smaller building footprints is that more open space can be retained and additional
green space added than if shorter buildings with larger footprints were built. The
disadvantage to taller, larger buildings would be the visual impact on Lake Smetana.
III. REZONING REVIEW SOUTHWEST CROSSING PHASE II
10-STORY, 247,000 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDING
Site Plan
The site plan depicts the construction of a 10-story, 247,000 square foot office
building at a site FAR of 1.05. The office zoning district would permit up to a 0.5
FAR for multi-story buildings. This will require a variance and will be addressed
in more detail in the Policy Issues section. Parking required would be 988 spaces.
988 spaces are depicted on the site plan.
Building and parking areas meet the minimum setback requirements for the office
zoning district.

has settled in the pond, cleaner water will be discharged into Smetana Lake.
Trails and Park Dedication
An existing 8-foot wide bituminous trail exists between the building and the lake.
There is a connection from the plaza level of the building down to this trail. This
trail should be extended to Golden Triangle Drive.
There is no park dedication fee required for this project since land area was
dedicated in lieu of cash as part of previous approvals for the site.
IV PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT REVIEW
SOUTHWEST CROSSING PHASE III--14-STORY, 362,000 SQUARE FEET
Vantage is requesting conceptual approval of the site plan, building height, and
building square footage. Southwest Crossing Phase III will be a 14-story building
and 362,000 square feet of building area. The building will look like Southwest
Crossing Phase II except that it will be 4 stories taller. The issues with
Southwest Crossing Phase III are the same as Phase II including variances for
building height, FAR, shoreland setback and impervious surface, and visibility of
the parking areas from 1-494. The building height, FAR, shoreland setback, and
impervious surface, will be addressed in more detail in the Policy Issues section.
The parking deck will be visible from 1-494 since 1-494 is at a higher elevation.
When constructed, approximately 700 cars would be visible from 1-494 for Southwest
Phase II & III combined. This will require that Vantage explore alternative
screening solutions as identified for Phase II.
One additional issue would be the visibility of the parking deck from Smetana Lake.
Approximately 500 linear feet of two levels of parking deck will be visible from
Smetana Lake. The amount of plant materials proposed is not adequate enough to
reduce the visual impact. Options may include one or more of the following: lower
the parking deck an additional level underground, reduce the total building square
footage, thereby reducing the parking demand, additional plant materials between the
structure and the lakes edge, or increasing the setback area between the parking
deck and the lake which can provide more room for bermings and plantings.
V. POLICY ISSUES

plan. The average setback of 200 feet may be a potential mitigating factor i
f
i
t
would allow more of the existing natural site character to be retained than if
t
h
e
shoreland setback was adhered to for all structures.
Floor Area Ratio Above City Code
The office zoning district currently permits an FAR of 0.5 for multipl
e
-
s
t
o
r
y
buildings. With Phase II, Vantage is requesting an FAR of 1.05. Althou
g
h
t
h
e
overall FAR for the 109-acre PUD is 0.34, the Commission must consider if
t
h
e
impacts of a higher FAR on this site are offset by the benefits of lower inten
s
i
t
y
uses proposed on the eastern end of the project where the natural environ
m
e
n
t
a
l
characteristics are more sensitive.
Traffic Impacts and Road Improvements Necessitated by Increase in Traffic
The 1985 BRW Traffic Study estimated a p.m. peak hour trip generation with
a
2
0
%
reduction for the overall 1985 PUD of 2,868 p.m. peak hour trips. The 1987 r
e
v
i
s
e
d
PUD will generate 2,900 p.m. peak hour trips. The additional 32 trips c
a
n
b
e
attributed to an increase in restaurant square footage which has a very hig
h
t
r
i
p
generation rate in the p.m. peak hour as compared with office uses. Vantage s
h
o
u
l
d
revise the master plan to meet the p.m. peak hour maximum of 2,868 trip
s
.
I
n
addition to the trip reduction, it is important to ascertain the extent of tr
a
f
f
i
c
improvements that would be warranted by the construction of Phase II. At this
t
i
m
e
,
the City's traffic consultant has indicated that as a result of increased tr
a
f
f
i
c
from Southwest Crossing Phase II that the intersection at Viking Drive and Pr
a
i
r
i
e
Center Drive should be signalized (see attached memo).
Impervious Surface
The current City Code permits a maximum impervious surface area of 30%. The ove
r
a
l
l
impervious surface ratio for the entire 109-acre PhD is 0.28. The proponents
a
r
e
requesting a 74% impervious surface coverage for Southwest Crossing Phase II.
T
h
e
developer should submit a plan depicting impervious surface coverage for
e
a
c
h
proposed site and required by restrictive covenant to limit impervious surfac
e
a
s
proposed with an overall impervious surface not to exceed the 0.30 maximum allo
w
e
d
per Code.
Imperv ,ous Surface Within 50 Feet of the High Water Mark of Lake Smetana
The Shoreland Ordinance currently requires that no impervious surface area
c
a
n
b
e
located closer than 50 feet of the High Water Mark of the lake. A portion
o
f
t
h
e
service drive to Phase III Southwest Crossing encroaches into this area and is
a
b
o
u
t
700 square feet in total area. The amount of square footage encroachment ov
e
r
t
h
e
entire length of the Shoreland is minimal and may be mitigated throu
g
h
a
n
appropriate amount of plant materials to screen the views from the lake. An
o
t
h
e
r
option would be to revise the site plan to comply with the Ordinance. Acti
o
n
o
n
this request should be considered when the proponents submit a detailed reque

A. Examples of exterior materials.
B. Overall signage package with details.
C. Overall lighting plan with details.
D. Provide evidence of recording of restrictive covenants for FAR,
impervious surface, and perpetual and conservancy easements to the
City.
16. Approval of Indirect Source Permit by PCA.
If the Planning Commission is comfortable with the land use types and general
locations, but feel that the impacts of changes from the 1985 plan and variances
from City Code should be further mitigated with plan revisions, then one option
would be to return the development plans to the proponent.
If the Planning Commission is uncomfortable with the plan as proposed and the
impacts of changes from the 1985 plan and variances from City Code are high, and
have not been adequately addressed and mitigated, then one option would be to
recommend denial.

SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION OF HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS WITHIN THE CITY
OF EDEN PRAIRIE
With the rapid growth of Eden Prairie, we are beginning to
see the next logical phase of development within our City.
The high-rise building is a product of economics, whereby
developers are choosing to build up rather than out due to
massive land costs.
With the high-rise comes additional demands on the Fire
Department to provide adequate protection for the buildings'
occupants.
I believe our Fire Department is capable, and has the means,
to provide this protection due to a number of factors.
Probably the most significant is the current practice of
early review of the project at the concept stage. This
helps to ensure that adequate roadways, emergency access,
and proper utilities will be available to meet protection
needs.
There are also building and Fire Code provisions which are
specifically designed for high-rise occupancies. Some of
these include: The requirement for a complete automatic
sprinkler system throughout the building; smoke detection
in strategically specified locations; alarm and communication
systems, including voice alarm, public address, and special
Fire Department communication systems; central control station
for Fire Department operations; smoke control systems; and
emergency power and lighting.
By building in the fire protection features, rather than
having to bring everything with us, we can insure the Fire
Department's ability to fight fires in buildings of unlimited
height.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

RE:
Impact of Vantage Development on the operation of the Viking
Drive/Prairie Center Drive Intersection
The Vantage Company has proposed the partial development of a site east of
Prairie Center Drive and north of Viking Drive in Eden Prairie. The proposed
development will consist of two office buildings with a combined total of
249,000 square feet. This memo presents the results of analyses completed to
determine the impacts the development will have on the intersection of Prairie
Center Drive and Viking Drive.
Background
The proposed development is included in the Eden Prairie Major Center Area, for
which traffic forecasts are being developed. Trip generation of other existing
Vantage developments in the area, based on ITE trip generation rates, is docu-
mented in Table 1.

Assignments of existing development trips to the roadway system show volumes on
Viking Drive east of Prairie Center Drive of approximately 4,000 vehicles per
day. Of this traffic, between 2,500 to 3,000 vehicles per day are the result of
previous Vantage development in the area. Similarly, in the peak hour
(4:30-5:30 PM), of the approximately 550 vehicles on Viking Drive, approximately
450 can be traced to Vantage developments. This minor street approach volume,
combined with the major street volumes on Prairie Center Drive, meet the minimum
signal warrant volumes. Figure 1 displays the results of the peak hour signal
warrant analysis.
Trip Forecast
Trip generation analyses for the proposed development are based on ITE Trip
Generation rates and reflect the rates used in the Eden Prairie Major Center
Area traffic forecasts. Table 2 documents both the daily and peak hour trip
generation of existing development plus the proposed Vantage development.
Forecast volumes on Viking Drive with the proposed development added to existing
volumes forecast are approximately 5,700 vehicles per day, with approximately
800 in the peak hour.

Capacity Analyses
Capacity analysis of the intersection was completed, using the Highway Capacity
Manual Planning Method, for both the existing condition and with the proposed
development in place. The lane geometry used in both analyses reflects the
existing intersection design. The results of the analyses using existing PM
peak hour volumes and assuming intersection signalization show the intersection
presently operates at Level of Service A. The results of the analyses with
existing plus proposed development volumes also show that the intersection con-
tinues to operate at an acceptable level of service (Level of Service B).

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Planning Commission
FROM: Michael D. Franzen, Senior Planner
THROUGH: Chris Enger, Director of Planning
DATE: July 10, 1987
PROJECT: Southwest Crossing II
LOCATION: North of Viking Drive, south of Smetana Lake
APPL ICANT/
FEE OWNER: Vantage Companies
REQUEST: 1. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Amendment on 109.68
acres for 1.6 million square feet of building area.
2. Planned Unit Development (PUD) District Review on 109.68
acres, with variances for building height.
3. Zoning District Change from Commercial Regional to Office on
5.13 acres for the construction of a 247,000 square foot
office building.
4. Board of Appeals variance request for shoreland setback,
building height, impervious surface, and impervious surface
below the High Water Mark of Smetana Lake.
Background
Due to the magnitude of the project
and complexity of the issues, the
Staff has not prepared a detailed
report at this time. Your meeting
Monday could be utilized for a
presentation, questions to the
proponent, and direction to the
Staff and developer. Unless other-
wise directed by the Planning
Cormii ssion, Vantage would return
within a two-week time period when a
detailed Staff Report, with
recommendations, would be presented
for Conrnission consideration.
The Planning Staff has met with the
proponent over the last several
months and have identified the
Southwest Crossing II 2 July 10, 1987
following major policy issues that the Planning Commission, Park, Rec
r
e
a
t
i
o
n
,
a
n
d
Natural Resources Connission, and City Council will be asked to rule on.
1. Building height.
2. Floor Area Ratio increase 100% above City Code.
3. Shoreland impacts.
4. Traffic impacts and road improvements necessitated by increases.
5. Density transfer.
Building Height
Southwest Crossing Phase IT will be a 10-story building which, when v
i
e
w
e
d
f
r
o
m
Interstate #494, would be 134 feet high, and when viewed from Lake Smetan
a
,
w
o
u
l
d
b
e
153 feet high. The Office zoning district currently permits a maximu
m
b
u
i
l
d
i
n
g
height of 30 feet, and therefore a PUD variance review and recommendatio
n
f
r
o
m
t
h
e
Planning Comnission and City Council is required. The height of the pr

approximately 20 feet higher than Southwest Crossing Phase I and 32 feet

Phase III (proposed for Concept approval at this time) would be a 14-stor
y
b

building within the community. It would be 18 feet higher than the
W

Floor Area Ratio Increase 100% Above City Code
The Office zoning district currently permits a maximum 0.5 FAR fo

acre PUD is 0.34 the Commission must consider the impacts of concentrat

building in a small area and weigh this against what mitigating meas
u
r
e

identifies.
Shoreland Setback Variances and Impacts
Smetana Lake and the adjoining Nine Mile Creek are classified a

C

s

n
may wish to consider the impact of a 10-story building and adjoining
p
a

c
k
and the visual and physical impacts of being closer to Lake Smeta
n
a

t
h
e
hardships involved and any mitigating measures which would off-set t
h
e
i
m

Traffic Impacts and Road Improvements Necessitated by Increase in Traffic
The 1985 BRW traffic study estimated a p.m. peak hour trip generation

T
h
e
revisions to the overall PUD do not depict an increase in building squ

Commission may wish to question the proponent as to what level of improv

Density Transfer
Part of the request includes an amendment to the 1985 PUD to permit

b. SOUILWEST CROSSIIC II, by Vantage Companies. Request for
Planned unitDevelopment Concept Amendment on 109.68 acres,
Plannec Unit Development District Review on 109.68 acres with
variances for building height, Zoning District Change from
Commercial Regional to Office on 5.13 acres and Board of
Appeals variances for Sboreland setback, building height,
impervious surface, and impervious surface below the high water
mark of Smetana Lake for the construction of a 247,000 square
foot office building. Location: North of Viking Drive, and
south of Smetana Lake. A continued public hearing.
Dale Beckman of BRW gave a brief overview of the Southwest Crossing
II project indicating that the developer wants to create a campus
image with the lake at the entrance of the building. He had a model
showing where the front side of the parking lot will not be visible.
Franzen asked Matt Nicoll to focus on the recommendations listed in
the Staff Report. Developer said they had no problem with the
recommendations except with the total site FAR for the 109-acre PUD
not exceeding 0.34, restrictions on impervious surface, and
conservancy restrictions. They will have a little trouble with this
and would like some flexibility.
Hallett asked for comments. Ruebling expressed concern About the
traffic situation. The study that was done just deals with Phase II
and doesn't take into consideration full development. He asked
specifically what level of service the intersection of Prairie
Center Drive and Viking Drive is at full development. Franzen said
the hCA traffic study is being updated. When this is complete, we
will have a better handle on what the traffic is and what
improvements will be necessary. The new study will be complete in
30-60 days and will be distributed to the Planning Commission and
the City Council.
Dodge suggested that the City Attorney be asked to address the
restrictive covenants including FAR, conservancy and impervious
surface. Franzen stated that the City Attorney can work with
Vantage on this.
-Bye expressed concern that the parking areas will not be screened
properly. Fell would like to see more evergreens for better year
round screening adding that he would like to see a revised plan
before sending this item to the City Council. Fell also asked About
the long term parking ramp maintenance, and are guidelines or is
this left up to the developer? Franzen suggested talking to the
cities of Minneapolis and Bloomington who have had a lot of
experience in this area. Fell wondered if we were setting a
precedent on tne height of the buildings. Franzen stated that the
City Council has approved the Wilson Learning Center which is lb
feet higher than this building.
Planning Commission Minutes -4- July 27, 1987
Hallett asked if employees will be able to walk completely around
Smetana Lake. Franzen indicated that the Parks Commission will
review this and determine if a walkway should go around the lake.
Hallett asked what percentage of the present building is occupied. - 70%.
Ruebling indicated that the restrictive covenants should also
include a provision to guarantee the average shoreland setback off
200 feet and setbacks from the creek as shown on the approved plan.
Matt Nicoll asked the Planning Commission if they could make the
screening of the parking lot, review of restrictive covenants and
traffic as a prior to Council review condition. Commissioners Dodge
and Bye indicated that they were uncomfortable approving the project
without first knowing if it is possible to screen the parking lot
from 1-494.
Motion was made by Bye to continue this to the August 10th Planning
Commission meeting subject to a revised plan which screens parking
from 1-494, a review of restrictive covenant including shoreland
setback, FAR, impervious surface and conservancy areas by the City
Attorney's office and provision of more information on tratfic.
Ruebling seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0-0.

-MEMORANDUM-
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Eugene A. Dietz
DATE: August 13, 1987
RE:
Special Assessment Deferments
As a result of conversations with the city attorney, city manager and city
council, this memorandum is written to summarize my recommendations regarding
policies for deferment of special assessments for homesteaded parcels;
1. Assess entire street and drainage costs upon completion of contract.
This would include a prorated cost for all fees and design work.
2. Exclude the homesteaded parcels from the assessment district for
sanitary sewer and watermain for a period of five years or until
connection. As discussed, it is not possible to add interest to the
future assessment. By following this process, we are actually
deferring the assessment process rather than deferring the actual
assessment itself. While this may seem like the same thing, we are
confident that the statutory provisions will allow assessing sewer
and water at a future date without the technical problems of a
deferred assessment for developed, homesteaded property.
3. Eliminate the $1,000.00 credit in favor of item #2 above.
Historically, the City has provided a $1,000.00 credit against
utility installation in an effort to recognize the investment a
homeowner places in a private well and septic system. The five-year
exclusion more than offsets the elimination of the $1,000.00 credit.
4. Continue to assess trunk sewer and water at the rate of $520.00 for
the first 1/2 acre of the homesteaded parcel at time of connection
(concurrent with item #2 above). The balance of the property (if
larger than 1/2 acre) would be assessed at the prevailing trunk rates
at time of development.
5.- Finally, increase the assessment period from 17 years to 20 years for
all special assessment projects except 100% petitions which will
remain at 5 years.
In addition to the recommended policies listed above, we will continue to offer
deferments for disability, senior citizens, green acres and trunk sewer and
water deferral for undeveloped property. I will be available at the council
meeting to answer additional questions.

FROM: Jeffrey Johnson, Engineering Technician
DATE: August 17, 1987

North 1/2 of Section 17, the site contains 9.33 acres to be
subdivided into three lots, one outlot, and road right-of-way
dedication along County Road #4. Outlot A contains a private drive
cul-de-sac. Lot 3 is the present site of the American Legion Post
409 and is proposed to be the site of a new Legion building. The two
other lots are proposed for industrial type uses.
HISTORY: The Preliminary Plat was approved by the City Council June 16, 1987,
per Resolution No. 87-172.
Resolution No. 87-171 amending the comprehensive municipal plan on
2.9 acres from Industrial to Community Commercial was approved by

, plat in conformance with City Standards. Prior to release of the
Final Plat, the developer shall provide the City Engineer with final
construction plans for sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer, and
receive City Engineer's approval of plans. Outlot A is a private
drive cul-de-sac. Drainage and utility easements shall be shown over
Outlot A to cover sanitary sewer and watermain. Because Outlot A
does not meet City Standards for a public street, developer should
note that the City will not accept ownership and maintenance of
Outlot A, presently or in the future. Developer shall provide the
City with a plan describing ownership and maintenance responsibilities
for Outlot A, and the private segments of the storm sewer system.
