II. DISCUSSION WITH TIMBER LAKES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION ROARD QE
DIRECTORS RE: HOMEOWNEU ASSOCIATION MEETING
Lambert reported that a month ago the Council had met with the
Board of the Timber Lakes Homeowners Association to review the
City's existing scenic easements and those held by the Timber
Lakes Homeowners Association. At the conclusion of the last
meeting the Board of the Homeowners Association had requested
to take the information presented back to its members for
discussion and to return to the Council with the results of
that meeting. Lambert summarized the memorandum for the
Association Board members, which stated that the City had the
authority to enforce its own scenic easements. The major
question had been was what was the potential for controlling
the undeveloped areas around Mitchell Lake to the west and
north when development occurs. Lambert noted that if a
developer was in compliance with all the ordinances and codes,
the City did not have the leverage to request a scenic
easement unless the City would try to purchase or negotiate
ownership of the shoreline.
Tim Crain, 7917 South Bay Curve, understood the City to be
saying that it controlled very little of the shoreline on
Mitchell Lake and could not get control. Lambert replied this
was correct. Bentley added that the City could negotiate with
the developers of the north and west shores to dedicate scenic
easements. Pidcock asked if the normal procedure was to
request dedication of the scenic easements around the lakes.
Lambert replied that the City always recommended trying to
negotiate for scenic easements; however, it was not always
possible and did not occur on all lakes.
Crain reported that he had met with the general membership and
City Council Minutes 2 November 15, 1988
had received a good turnout. Crain stated that the main
issues were docks, as the land below the high water mark was
not controlled by the Homeowners Association's scenic
easement. Crain said that to his knowledge no live vegetation
had been removed from the lakeshore, the only removal had been
of the dead trees. He was aware of 4 violations of the scenic
easements: 1) an asphalt road, 2) a split rail fence, 3)
stairs going to a dock, and 4) 2 sand beaches. The consensus
of the membership was that the existing covenants did not
reflect the desires and needs of the association today. The
membership would like to have control of the scenic easement
within reason. The residents would like to be able to put
benches, gazebos, and sand within reason. The members would
like to rewrite the convenants.
Brian Halt, 7970 Island Road -, stated that the association had
not received complaints from residents in the development
regarding the scenic easement.
Knaak believed that the asphalt road had been inspected and
approved by the City. Hult added that it had been inspected
after the road had been installed; however, the owner did
understand that he would be responsible if any work by the
City had to be done.
Peterson asked Lambert if this property would fall under the
jurisdiction of the City's Shoreland Ordinance, which would
restrict the construction of gazebos, docks, etc. Lambert
replied that it would restrict the location and size of the
gazebos and docks.
Bentley believed that the compromise outlined in the Staff
Report suggested allowing for the removal of 50% of the
natural vegetation in a "corridor" to the lake from each home
made sense. Bentley believed that further definition of a
corridor and what would be considered in the 50%. Lambert
gave the example of having a 100-foot lot and 50 feet of the
property could be cleared of natural vegetation, which would
leave 25 feet on each side of the lot, which would accomplish
keeping the natural appearance of the lake. Peterson believed
that the compromise would be a sound one if it reflected the
values of the land owners. Peterson added that the compromise
had merit and should be worked on in more detail.
Knaak stated that the weather had a lot of affect on the
properties. She added that on her property alone 200 trees
had been lost.
Bentley believed the issue was how to accommodate the
maintenance of the natural view of the shoreline, accommodate
the general expectation of development of Mitchell Lake, and
allow the residents to be able to get down to the lake to
utilize it.
City Council Minutes 3 November 15, 1988
Crain stated that the members of the association would like to
have the capability to have docks. Knack added that not every
homeowner would have a dock. Crain said that the members did
not have any comments on the vegetation removal and added that
he believed the clearing of the corridor would be more than
adequate.
Anderson stated that the City had made a tremendous investment
into Mitchell Lake and the whole chain-of-lakes drainage; he
believed that a reforestation project should be implemented,
not to Just take out the dead trees, but to replace them to
maintain the natural character of the lake. Knack asked if
the City was willing to help finance the restoration. Bentley
said that if the City were to participate funds would not be
available until 1990 because it had not budgeted for 1989.
Bentley added that while he might agree that restoration would
be nice, the City did not have a means for requiring this work
currently. Anderson said that the scenic easements were
working well in the Preserve area; however, the scenic
easements did not appear to be working well on Mitchell Lake.
Bill Scholz, 7924 Island Road, stated that another solution
could be to raise the level of the lake by a foot or two,
which a lot of the residents would like to see happen. Scholz
believed that part of the problem was the absence of a
Homeowners Board for a period of time and a lack of proper
policing of the scenic easements. Scholz stated that the
question was where does the Homeowners Association go from
here. Pidcock replied that the Association had to accept
conditions as they are and go on.
Bentley stated that three options had been outlined by Staff
and he would add that another option could be added regarding
the reforestation project. Bentley believed that the
compromise would be the best alternative with the issue of
docks still remaining to be addressed. There was further
discussion on the possibility of a reforestation program, if
it was legal for the City to do so on private property.
Lambert stated that special legislation at one time had been
given to replace diseased trees only.
Hult believed that the City had raised the level of the lake
and asked if the City could have possibly contributed to the
death of the trees: if so, the City could be responsible to
restore them. Peterson stated that allegationwould have to be
proved first. Hult stated that many of the residents would
like to replace the trees and believed a compromise where the
City and the homeowners worked together would be the best
possible solution. Anderson commented that a reforestation
program would be of mutual benefit. Pauly stated that he
would look into the possibility of this approach. Crain
stated that it appeared that the City was more interested in
the damage which had occurred and not interested in the
violations. Peterson concluded that the issues were related
jj
City Council Minutes 4 November 15, 1988
yet separate and added that the City would obtain a legal
opinion on the reforestation issue.
Anderson stated that the reason that he had brought forward
the issue regarding reforestation was his concern for the
present loss of trees and now with the proposed compromise it
would allow for an additional 50% removal of vegetation.
Peterson believed that the compromise would allow for the
removal of dead trees. Bentley stated that this compromise
did not specify dead trees only and added that the wording
needed to be clarified. Pauly replied that a specific date
could be determined and aerial photos taken to determine the
amount of existing vegetation and 50% removal could be
determined at that time. Bentley understood Pauly to be
requesting an inventory then. Pauly replied yes it would be
necessary. Hult suggested that anything larger than a certain
size tree could not be removed. Anderson believed that Weston
Bay should also be considered to have the same guidelines.
MOTION:
Bentley moved, seconded by Peterson to direct Staff to draft a
compromise from the existing scenic easement relative to
Mitchell Lake based on the guidelines outlined in the Staff
memo and the discussions presented tonight. Motion carried
unanimously.
It was noted that the motion would allow the Director of
Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources to clarify the
wording related to the 50% removal of the vegetation in the
corridor and Staff was to return to the Council with the final
draft of the compromise.
MOTION:
Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson to direct Staff to
Investigate the possibility of the level of City participation
in the removal of the dead trees and a possible reforestation
program and to return to the Council with the information.
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION:
Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock to direct Staff to request
the DNR to review the property in question in relation to
vegetation and wildlife and to recommend proper management
practices. Motion carried unanimously.
1101TON:
Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson to direct Staff to work
with the Timber Lakes Homeowners Association and to ask it to
join the City in the implementation of new restrictions.
Motion carried unanimously.

IV. PULIC. HEAR1N_CS
A. TIMBER BLUFFS by Brown Land Company. Request for Planned
Unit Development District Review on approximately 19 acres
with waiver of the public road requirement and requirement
for frontage of lots on a public street, rezoning from
Rural to R1-22 on approximately 15 acres, and Preliminary
City Council Minutes 4 November 15,1988
Plat of 44.4 acres into 14 single family lots, and 2
outlets. Location: South of Riverview Road, west of
County Road 18, and east of Huntington Drive. (Ordinance
No. 50-88-PUD-14-88 - PUD District and Rezoning;
Resolution No. 88-258 - Preliminary Plat)
Jullie reported that notice of this Public Hearing had
been sent to 8 surrounding property owners and published
In the November 2, 1988 issue of the Eden Prairie News.
Mike Gair, representing the proponent, presented the plan
for the development of 14 large "prestige" houses on
approximately 41 acres. Thepossibility that two Indian
burial grounds were present on the land was presently
under investigation by the Minnesota Historical Society.
The Watershed District Was reviewing the storm drainage
plan. Gair stated that 18 acres of the property were
heavily wooded and noted that the tree inventory had been
completed. A private road system was planned with a
security gate at the entrance to the subdivision. Gair
gave a slide presentation showing the home sites and
demonstrating the sight-line view from the development. A
150-foot strip would be maintained for a private open
space. The home pads would be 120'x100'.
Enger reported that this item had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its October 24, 1988 meeting and
had received unanimous approval based on the Staff
recommendations outlined in the October 21, 1988 Staff
Report. Enger stated that the tree loss was expected to
he approximately 17%; however, the proponent planned to
save additional trees by the individual placement of the
homes on the lots. Enger said that the proponent had
requested a private road to be able to forego the public
road rights-of-way, which would lessen the encroachment of
the larger building pads on the Minnesota River bluff.
The private road would also allow for the security gate
and special road surface requested by the proponent. The
Planning Commission had approved the request for the
private road due to the uniqueness of the circumstances
that created the need for the private road. Enger noted
that 2 to 3 private sanitary sewer lift stations would be
necessary.
Lambert reported that the Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission had reviewed this item at its
November 6, 1988 meeting and recommended approval with a
6-0 vote based on the Staff Report, and further recommend
that the City accept as a gift the 150-foot strip of land
along the Minnesota River. The main items discussed at
the Commission meeting related to this project were bluff
and tree protection, and the Minnesota Wildlife Refuge
Plan which the Council had approved in 1983. Lambert
stated that with the approval of that Plan there were 161
I cf=
City Council Minutes 5 November 15,1988
acres for which a portion was to be acquired by the City.
Lambert stated that the Staff recommendation was to
acquire a 150-foot strip along the Minnesota River in
order to accomplish the protection of the riverfront and
provide a trail corridor from the Purgatory Creek Trail
westerly to the Minnesota Wildlife Refuge Trail system.
Lambert added that the owners of the property should be
notified that the City intended to purchase an additional
15 acres of floodplain in the future.
Bentley asked if there were any development restrictions
on the prairie area below the bluffs. Lambert replied
that the only restrictions would apply to the floodplain.
Lambert added that this area had been farmed for over 100
years. Bentley asked the proponent what the long-range
plans were for the area below the bluffs. David Brown
replied that there were no long-range plans: the land
would be used as a horse pasture at first and the trout
pond would be cleaned up. Brown added that structures
could not be built up on the property.
Peterson asked how emergency vehicles would be able to
access to the property with the proposed security system.
Brown replied that this issue would be addressed with the
police department. Enger added that the security system
had not been designed at this time, but would be subject
to review by the police department. Peterson requested
that information regarding the security system be
available by the 2nd Reading.
Anderson asked the proponent if it was willing to plat the
150-foot strip along with the existing plat. Brown
replied that for tax purposes the property would be
deeded; however, it would not be given immediately.
Anderson then asked if the proponent would be able to
provide the City with a date by which the property would
be given to the City prior to the 2nd Reading. Brown
replied that the date would depend on the market and what
time would be best for tax advantages. Brown added that a
letter would be provided to the City that the property
would belong to the City, but a definite date would not be
included. Anderson asked City Attorney Pauly the City's
position without a definite time provided. Pauly replied
that he would not be able to reply until he had reviewed
the letter, which he had not been provided at this time.
Bentley stated that because of the tax requirements a
commitment by the proponent at this time would not allow
the land to be considered a gift. Pauly concurred.
Anderson stated that he would be more comfortable with at
least a letter of intent. Anderson added that this parcel
would be important to the City's trail system. Pidcock
noted that the proponent could not proceed with any
development of that portion of the property without City
approval first.
City Council Minutes 6 November 15,1988
Anderson asked the proponent if it would make a commitment
that no trees be removed from the 150-foot strip. Brown
replied that no trees would be removed.
There were no further comments from the audience.

and that no trees would be removed on the 150-foot strip
of land. Motion carried unanimously.
Bentley commented that this proposal was an excellent
first step to preserve the bluff area and added that both
the Staff and the proponent should be complimented for
their efforts.

access from Plaza Drive, added extra landscaping, revised
the number of parking spaces, extended the canopies, and
had been working with Staff related to the color ranges
for the exterior of the facility.

E. MTS SYSTEMS CORPoRATION ADDITION by MTS Systems
Corporation. Request for Zoning District Change from
Rural to 1-5 on 36.8 acres for construction of an 85,000
square foot addition to the MTS building. Location:
South of Highway No. 5, north of Technology Drive, west of
Purgatory Creek (Ordinance No. 55-88 - Rezoning)
Jullie reported that notice of this Public Hearing had
been sent to owners of 10 surrounding properties and
published in the November 2, 1988 issue of the Eden
Prairie News.
Steve Johnson, representing the proponent, presented the
plans for additional office space, conference room, and
cafeteria. Johnson noted that all City requirements had
been met.
Enger reported that the Planning Commission had reviewed
this item at its November 14, 1938 meeting and unanimously
recommended approval of the project based on the Staff
Report of November 10, 1988. Enger stated that this was
the first change requested by MTS. He added that the
change was consistent with the original Planned Unit
Development and with the City's zoning ordinances.
LambPrt reported that this item had been reviewed by the
Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission at its
November 7, 1988 meeting and recommended approval of the
project with a 6-0 vote based on the Planning Staff
Report. Lambert noted that discussion took place at the
meeting regarding the donation of the floodplain. MTS had
stated that it preferred to wait and donate the floodplain
to the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area.
Anderson asked what the immediate plans were for the
floodplain. Johnson replied that MTS had no immediate
plans for the floodplain; however, it wished to keep
options open. Anderson believed that the creek was part
of the project and because the parking lot was being
planned adjacent to the creek, a plan should be available.
Johnson stated that MTS did not wish to zone the entire
parcel, but rather to move back to the west of the line
noted in the 1982 PUD. Anderson understood that property
owned by MTS extended to the creek. Bentley commented
that if a portion of the property was not going to be
rezoned then it should be replatted. Bentley question if
rezoning only a portion of the parcel would affect the
hearing process. Enger replied that this concept had not
been discussed with Staff; however, the Public Hearing
regarding the zoning request before the Council tonight
would cover the request made by the proponent. Enger
suggested that the line be drawn to reflect all the
parking area required by the City for proof-of-parking,
which would consist of 200 parking spaces. Johnson noted
City Council Minutes 10 November 15,1988
that the proof-of-parking would be included in the area to
be rezoned.
Enger asked Johnson if the plans being presented tonight
were the ones presented to Staff. Johnson replied that
thin plan was discussed last evening at the Planning
Commission meeting. Bentley believed that what the
Planning Commission had wanted to see was on the plan
being presented at this time and that encroachment into
the floodplain was not occurring. Anderson was concerned
that the plan may have been altered from the plan reviewed
by the City's commissions. Johnson replied that the plan
was different; however, it was discussed last evening.
Enger stated that there appeared to be confusion on who
had reviewed what plan and, therefore, recommended that
Staff work with the proponent prior to 2nd Reading to
provide the revised zoning description depicting the
smaller area. Enger wanted the time between 1st and 2nd
Reading to make sure that the proof-of-parking was being
met.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION:
Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock to close the Public
Hearing and approve 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 55-88 for
Rezoning to the point delineated on the plan before the
Council this evening to be identified by Staff as exhibit
I. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION:
Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock to direct Staff to
prepare an Addendum to the Development Agreement
incorporating Commission and Staff recommendation and to
include that the zoned parcel will show the necessary
proof-of-parking. Motion carried unanimously.

sPt,cificallY as_TheY
Jullie reported that Staff recommended approval of the
resolution which would bring the City's building permit
fees in line with the 1985 version of Uniform Building
Code, and take affect December 5, 1988.
Bentley asked why this action was being taken now and not
after the first of the year. Jullie replied that these
fees were consistent with what other cities were doing.
Bentley was concerned that this would start a process
whereby the City did not keep with its original schedule
of changes in fees and added that he did not see the
benefit of accelerating the process by one month. Jullie
replied that this change had been discussed at budget
review time and he had indicated to the Council that this
proposal would be forthcoming. Jullie added that it would
be the normal practice of the City to follow the original
schedules. Pidcock believed that this change should come
with the other scheduled fees and added that this action
would send out a wrong message. Peterson asked if the
developers had been notified. Jullie replied that the
developers and builders had not been notified; however,
the developers and builders would be notified and they
would have a chance to amend their bids.

MOTION:
Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock to grant the request
for a liquor license by Midwest Restaurant Corporation
(dba Applebee's Neighborhood Restaurant & Grill).
Anderson believed it would have been more appropriate to
discuss how the remaining number of licenses were to be
used before voting to approve a new license.
Motion carried unanimously.
B. APProve_TH 212 LAyout Plan (Resolution No. 88 -265)
Dietz presented the highlights of the TN 212 Layout Plan
and the six recommended corrections to the plan as noted
in Resolution No.88-265, Items A through F.
Dietz stated that MnDot had agreed to extend Technology
Drive to Wallace Road to offset the loss of the access at
Wallace Road. Peterson asked if MnDot had agreed to buy
the land for the extension of Technology Drive. Dietz
replied this was indicated in the letter from MnDot.
Dietz added that the right-of-way needed to be protected
for Technology Drive, which was noted in Item D of the
Resolution. The extension of Technology Drive and the
existing Martin Drive would provide frontage roads for
both the north and the south sides of the highway in this
area.
Pidcock asked if 9 lanes were planned at the Mitchell Road
interchange. Dietz replied from 9 to 11 lanes.
Bentley stated that it seemed that the City would be
losing something by having the split diamond at Mitchell
Road. Dietz replied that access would be limited with the
split diamonds at Mitchell Road and Wallace Road; however,
Staff believed that it was more important to have access
to Highway #5. Peterson believed that because the
majority of the city's traffic was eastbound it was more
important to provide easy access for eastbound traffic.
Bentley was concerned that truck traffic would be directed
into the residential area. Dietz noted that a public
City Council Minutes 14 November 15,1988
hearing would be required to complete the official mapping
process and that comments from the affected property
owners could affect MnDot's decision. Bentley asked what
would happen if the change at Wallace Road were not made.
Dietz replied the Resolution would need to be changed.
Dietz added that at this point the City was not committed
to the layout. Jullie asked if the extension of
Technology Drive would be lost if Wallace Road were
changed. Dietz believed that it might be possible to
still have MnDot extend Technology Drive.
Peterson asked Dietz how Staff had arrived at the decision
to request the change at Wallace Road. Dietz replied that
It was always known that there would have to be a
compromise at Wallace Road; based on circulation, Staff
believed that the propoLied access would be the best way to
provide access to the road system. Jullie added that this
circulation pattern would best serve the local traffic.
Bentley believed this access would relieve some of the
stn?s:3 on Mitchell Road. Dietz believed that local access
to Highway #5 at Mitchell Road was important and added
that it would not be possible to have access to both
Highway #5 and TN 212. Anderson questioned if Wallace
Road were changed would additional pressure be placed on
Valley View Road. Dietz replied that there was merit in
leaving Wallace Road as proposed. Bentley recommended
leaving Wallace Road as proposed in the Resolution and
between now and the Final approval have Staff give a more
detailed rationale for the requested change. Dietz
concurred.
Dietz reported that the last issue to be resolved was the
Intersection of Prairie Center Drive and Highway #212.
Dietz said that originally Staff had believed that a
compressed diamond intersection would be the recommended
solution for this intersection; however, after reviewing
the plan drawn by BRW it appeared that the compressed
diamond would provide a worse situation than that proposed
by MnDot. He added that the intersection at W. 78th
Street and Prairie Center Drive would be over capacity.
The new recommendation was to provide for a ramp from
northbound Prairie Center Drive to eastbound 1-494. The
recommendation did not request that the ramp be
constructed at this time, but that right-of-way be
protected for the area to allow construction in the
future.
Peterson asked Dietz to explain the traffic flow for
Technology Drive. Dietz replied that Technology Drive
would be realigned to the south to accommodate the ramp
access. Anderson asked if traffic could be directed one-
way to avoid the congestion and confusion at Highway #169.
Dietz stated that this could be considered in the future.

Comprehensive Park and Open Space Plan
Peterson noted that the Council would hear the
presentation by Barton-Aschman Associates tonight and
would set a special meeting to discuss this item in more
depth.
City Council Minutes 16 November 15,1988
Lambert reported that another recommendation for a trap
and skeet range had been added to the plan last evening at
the Planning Commission meeting. Lambert introduced Barry
Warner, representative from Barton-Aschman Associates, to
present the plan.
Warner stated that the purpose of the Comprehensive Park
and Open Space System Plan was to identify the City's
needs for parks and open spaces currently, in the year
1995, and in the year 2000. He reported that the
following processes had been used to complete the study:
1) Population growth study, which indicated a high
percentage of young adults with children, 2) Population
density study, 3) Open space map updated, 3) Written
Inventory prepared for each existing park, 4) Needs and
demands analysis study,-5) Survey of residents conducted
through a local newspaper, 6) Holding four neighborhood
meetings. Warner reported the following conclusions from
the study: 1) A broad base of community support for the
development of parks, trails, and open spaces was present,
2) Additional land acquisition and facility development
should occur, 3) Three areas in the City would not have
adequate park facilities: southwest area, west central
area, and mid-central area, 4) Need for additional youth
and adult athletic facilities, 5) Further study completed
regarding the function of the Community Center, 6)
Completion of the open space system.
Warner said the existing policies regarding parks and open
spaces had been reviewed and updated. Warner said the
study indicated the need for further study of bluff
preservation.
Warner discussed the feasibility study completed for the
consideration of a golf course. He stated that a strong
potential existed for development of a golf course, with
three possible sites considered, the best location being
west of Flying Cloud Airport. Warner said that a
considerable amount of land was required for a golf course
and a statement needed to be made now for the preservation
of the land.
Warner presented the following recommendations: 1)
Neighborhood park improvements, 2) Outdoor swimming
facility, 3) Golf course development, 4) Trail system
development, 5) Land acquisition, 6) Special use
facilities developed, 7) Purgatory Creek Recreation area
developed, 8) Resolution regarding the function of
Community Center Facility, 9) Miller Park developed with
youth facilities developed to compliment the park. Warner
outlined the priorities as determined by Barton-Aschman
and the priorities of the Planning Commission and Parks,
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission.

related to natural resources. Anderson added that
Bloomington had two separate commissions. Bentley asked
how the expertise of the commissioners would be balanced.
B. Rekort of City Manager
1. New Conditions for On -sale_IhteXAcating_Liquor Licenses
Jullie reported that the City was limited in the number of
licenses to be issued. He questioned if the Council would
prefer to completely remove the limits regarding the
number of licenses or reserve some of the licenses for the
downtown area.
Bentley stated that if 2 were set aside for hotels and 3
to 4 for the downtown area, this would leave 2 floating
licenses, which should be adequate at this time.
Peterson stated that he would be reluctant to reserve 2
for hotels and 4 for downtown, when the development of the
downtown area was not definite at this time. He believed
that 1 license for hotels would be adequate.
Pidcock stated that she would prefer that a full Council
be available for the discussion of the issue.
Anderson stated a concern about issuing licenses all over
the City and would prefer that the licenses were
restricted to certain locations.

Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson to continue this item

II. PRESENTATION BY METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSIDNAN_DRAFT
MASTER PLAN FOR FLYING CLOUD AIRPORT
Members of MAC Present:
Mark Ryan, Airport Planner; Jim Fortman, Director of Airport
Development; Gary Schmidt, Manager of Reliever Airport
Systems; Greg Albjerg, representing the Consultant, Howard
Needles Tammen Bergendoff.
AlbJerg stated that the presentation would be an update of the
Master Plan originally done in 1976. Albjerg added that the
update was necessary due to the ongoing changes in aviation.
The following had been completed to update the Master Plan: 1)
An inventory of existing conditions at the airport, 2) traffic
and forecasts to the year 2010, 3) facility requirements
determined based on the forecasts, and 4) alternatives
developed considering constrained and unconstrained
development. The number of flights had been steadily
increasing since 1982. AlbJerg stated that the unconstrained
forecast would he an increase in the number of operations from
210,000 currently to 390,000 projected for the year 2010, with
the constrained forecast showing an increase to 255,000 by the
year 2010. The FAA projected an increase to 310,000 by the
City council Minutes 2 November 29, 1988
year 2010. The number of aircraft based at the airport would
increase from 492 currently to 858 by the year 2010. AlbJerg
stated that the majority of the air traffic would remain
single-engine-piston and multi-engine-piston planes; however,
there would be an increase in jet and turbo-prop operations.
AlbJerg presented the following facility requirements, based
on the forecasts: 1) Increase the area for hanger storage from
the current 90 acres to 129 acres, and 2) the runway be
lengthened from the current 3900 feet to 5000 feet. Six Jets
currently use Flying Cloud Airport and were considered the
critical aircraft for the airport. The FAA planning criteria
stated that the critical aircraft should be the main concern
when planning an airport; therefore, a proposal resulted to
lengthen the runway. The ideal runway length for a small Jet
would be 5500 feet; however, the State limit for the Flying
Cloud Airport was 5000 feet. AlbJerg added that the Jets
could only operate on a limited basis with the current runway
length of 3900 feet.
AlbJerg outlined four alternatives for the building locations
and three alternatives for the runway length.
AlbJerg stated that the noise levels appeared to be the major
concern of the residents. The noise contours were used to
evaluate the noise levels, based on the Ldn, or the average of
the noise generated over a year's time. Albjerg explained the
four noise levels used by MAC and the appropriate land uses
for each level. The FAA and HUD consider any land use to be
compatible with a 65 Ldn noise level. The EPA documents
stated that 87% of all urban areas have an Ldn rating of 55 or
greater. Albjerg stated that the noise levels would increase;
however, based on the data collected, he did not believe the
impact would be great because the increase would occur
gradually over the next 20 years.
AlbJerg stated that the preferred alternative of the
Consultant would be Alternate A for the runway to 5000 feet
and Alternate 1 for the building location placing new hangers
to the north of the MAC property, immediately west of the
existing hangers and south of Pioneer Trail. He noted that
MAC had not stated a preference at this time.
Zoning Administrator Jean Johnson reported that the City had
received a number of letters regarding the proposed preferred
alternate presented by Howard, Needles, Tammen& Bergendorf.
The Planning Department found the preferred alternative to be
incompatible with surrounding land uses and the City's
Comprehensive Guide Plan for the six reasons outlined on Page
6 and 7 of the Staff Report dated October 26, 1988. A study
was currently being done for a proposed Minor Airport at a
location in the northwestern Hennepin County area, and Staff
believed this new airport would better serve the small Jets
and corporate planes. Planning Staff believed that
City Council Minutes 3 November 29, 1988
Alternative C, the no-build alternative would respond well to
the majority of users at the airport and would adequately meet
the demands for the next 10 years or more. Johnson suggested
that the present hangers be rehabilitated prior to a new
hanger area being studied. The Flying Cloud Airport Advisory
Commission voted 3-2 to approve the recommendation of HNTB.
The Planning Commission had reviewed the documents and voted
7-0 to support the Planning Staff recommendation per the Staff
Report dated October 26, 1988.
Lambert reported that this item was reviewed by the Parks,
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission at its November 7,
1989 meeting and voted 6-0 to support the Planning Staff's
recommendation for the no-build alternative per the Staff
Report dated October 26, 1988.
Bentley asked City Manager Jullie for clarification on what
action was expected of the City Council at this time. Jullie
replied that the purpose of the meeting tonight was to provide
a public forum for MAC to present its proposal. MAC would
then take the comments of the City Council, City Staff, and
the public under advisement. Jullie recommended that the
Council take the matter under advisement, allow time to review
the public's comments, and review the legal rights of the
City. Bentley said that the City's position would only be
advisory and the Council did not have the authority approve or
deny. City Attorney Pauly replied that MAC had the authority
to adopt various regulatory ordinances; however, at the time
that the legislature gave authority to locate and site a new
major airport, there was a provision inserted in that
authority which permitted local regulation in the case of a
major airport. Pauly added that a major airport was one that
serves regularly scheduled flights: by definition, Flying
Cloud Airport would not be considered a major airport. Pauly
believed that there was local authority. Pauly stated that
there were State provisions which provided for the development
of joint airport zoning boards, which stated that in the event
of a conflict between local regulations, other regulations,
and regulations imposed by a joint airport zoning board the
more restrictive regulation would prevail. Pauly suggested
seeking an opinion of the State Attorney General for the
interpretation of the provision.
Peterson suggested that after hearing all the information
presented the Council should consider one of three possible
actions: 1) no action, 2) defer action, and 3) take action
immediately.
Anderson stated that he was concerned because the airport
expansion was an important issue and he was not sure of where
the City stood and what rules needed to be followed. Pauly
replied that the purpose of tonight's meeting was to gather
information, react, and comment regarding the information
presented.
City Council Minutes 4 November 29, 1988
Harris asked at what point in MAC's process would the City
Council have an opportunity to react to the final proposal.
Jim Fortman concurred with City Attorney Pauly regarding the
purpose of tonight's meeting. He added that it did not
require Council action at this time. The next step for MAC
would be to hold a public hearing to bring out the issues, the
recommendation for a public hearing would be presented to the
Metropolitan Airports Commission on December 19, 1988 with the
actual hearing scheduled for sometime in January, after which
the information would be forwarded through the committee
process. The final recommendation would be considered by MAC
in March 1989.
Bentley asked Fortman if the action by MAC would be to adopt
the favored alternative as part of the Master Plan, but any
actual development would require another plan. Fortman
concurred. Fortman added that additional public hearings
would be required.
Anderson asked Fortman if the flight data presented tonight
was prepared before or after action was taken at the major
airport to limit use by small aircraft. Anderson then asked
if MAC was actively attempting to direct the smaller aircraft
to the minor airports. Fortman replied that MAC owned 7
airports in the Metropolitan area; a major facility at MSP
International, an intermediate facility in St. Paul, and the
five minor facilities. Fortman added that the forecasts were
developed after MAC established the policy to encourage small
aircraft to use other facilities; however, there was nothing
in the forecast stating that a specific number of flights
would be directed to Flying Cloud Airport.
Peterson asked Schmidt if the evaluation summary had taken
into consideration the proposed land uses and safety zones
which are currently within the City's Comprehensive Guide
Plan. Schmidt replied that the noise zones where established
to let potential property owners know that a noise factor
would be expected for that property area. He added that 20
existing homes were located in Zone D; however, this study did
not project any potential new development. Schmidt said that
the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan depicted safety zones;
however, as the Joint Zoning Board ceased in 1980, and there
were no established safety zones at Flying Cloud Airport.
Schmidt stated that Safety Zone A would suggest no residential
development (but possible be use for a park or a golf course);
Safety Zone B would suggest 1 residential home per 3-acre lot.
Schmidt added that actual safety zones would not be determined
Until a Joint zoninf,1 Board W. e6tabliEthed to tak action.
Pidccuk asked Schmidt how recent were the data regarding the
number of homes in the noise evaluation study. Schmidt
replied that aerial photos had been taken in 1987 and a street
survey conducted in 1988.
City Council Minutes November 29, 1988
Pidcock asked Fortman for clarification of MAC'S position
regarding the redirection of small aircraft traffic. Pidcock
commented that she understood that directing the small
aircraft to the outlying airports would have a negative affect
on areas around those airports. Fortman replied that the MAC
as d matter of policy was trying to encourage general aviation
to use facilities other than Wald Chamberlin Field. He added
that MAC had invested considerable money in the St. Paul-
Downtown Airport to encourage the business Jets to use this
facility. Fort-man said that in some instances it was
uneconomical for businesses to have the business jets at
outlying airports; depending on how the firms used their
aircraft.
Schmidt asked to respond to the Planning Staff's memo.
Schmidt stated that MAC disagreed with Staff's comment that
the forecasts indicated that Flying Cloud Airport would be
adequate until 2003. He said the current number of operations
was at 209,000, which was quickly closing in on the year 2003
prediction of 229,000.
Schmidt did not believe that rehabilitating the existing
hangers would provide additional hanger storage. He said the
existing hangers were designed to provide the most efficient
use of space possible and added that if the existing hangers
were rehabilitated using the current development standard of
larger single door hangers, there would be less density.
Schmidt disagreed that developable acreage would be removed
from Zones A & B. He added that Zone A could be compatible
for park use and/or a golf course and that Zone 13 could be
gelded for residential use. Schmidt stated that a Joint
Zoning Board would enact the guidelines.
Schmidt believed that the concerns regarding the landfill and
the US Fish and Wildlife Refuge being incompatible were
unfounded. He said that MAC had donated land to the US Fish
and Wildlife Refuge and noted that the land elevations tended
to keep the birds in the Refuge area and not affect the
aircraft. Schmidt said that the landfill was not currently in
operation and the FAA had not determined it necessary to take
action at this time to suspend operations of the landfill.
Schmidt concluded by stating that the flight patterns would
not change drastically from the existing patterns. The
Downtown-St. Paul Airport served the mix of corporate jets and
n11-engine planes without any major difficulty and the MAC
team believed the same operation could occur at Flying Cloud
Airport. Schmidt did not view the mix of jets and small-
engine aircraft as a major safety issue.
Doug Fell, 10449 Huntington Drive, believed that the City
needed to weigh who made up the Flying Cloud Advisory
Commission and what its business relations were to Flying
City Council Minutes November 29, 1988
Cloud Airport. Fell questioned the claims that the expansion
of Flying Cloud Airport would benefit Eden Prairie and added
the he had not seen any facts or figures to substantiate any
benefit to Eden Prairie. Fell asked MAC to comment on what
percentage of the flights at Flying Cloud Airport were
corporate business flights, a type which would contribute to
Eden Prairie's success.
Fell stated that the noise studies had been conducted during
the week and asked if a further study would be done for the
weekend air traffic. Fell believed that the noise data
presented were inadequate and that the frequency of flights
should also be considered as a major factor.
Fell asked why Flying Cloud Airport was able to accommodate
440,000 operations in 1968, yet MAC indicated that in the year
2013 the airport would not be able to accommodate 392,000.
Fell believed that there was no true need for the expansion;
however, he also believed that the City or its residents'
comments would not have any effect if MAC wanted the airport
expanded.
Fell asked what the current weight class was for aircraft
utilizing Flying Cloud Airport and how the weight limits would
be increased. He stated that Flying Cloud Airport was
currently classified as a small airport; however, it would
only take the action of the Legislature to change the
classification to a major airport. Fell concluded by stating
that he would not like to see this expansion as part of the
Master Plan and added that the Eden Prairie Planning
Commission had voted for the denial of the plan.
Ron Funk, 13700 Theresa Place, stated that as a pilot and
owner of planes located at Flying Cloud Airport, he believed
that Flying Cloud Airport was good in its current state. Funk
added that Flying Cloud Airport was like a club, a place to
communicate with other pilots. Funk believed that special
consideration regarding safety measures needed to be
considered when combining the small jets and the small-engine
planes.
Mary Jane Swanson, 9440 Eden Prairie Road, stated that she was
concerned that the noise level studies were done before the
opening the ILS (Instrument Landing System). She believed
that the ILS system would drastically change the character of
Flying Cloud Airport. Swanson added that Flying Cloud Airport
could become a training field for the pilots which needed to
re-certify for instrument training. Swanson said that because
Flying Cloud Airport was a controlled field the pilots
considered it a safer field than the Lakeville Airport.
Swanson believed that a noise study should be conducted after
the ILS was installed.
Swanson asked if the projection for operations included
City Council Minutes 7 November 29, 1988
training flights. She asked why MAC believed it was necessary
to house more aircraft when new airplane sales were at a
minimum. Swanson believed that the installation of the US
and the extension of the runway indicated the encouragement of
the turbine aircraft moving to Flying Cloud Airport. She
added that due to the minimal sales of the new turbine
aircraft the planes would be the older turbines, which were
noisier than the new models.
Kent Barker, 15801 Cedar Ridge Road, stated that he had served
on the original Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission,
which had been developed due to the noise disturbance to the
surrounding neighborhoods. Barker stated that the now-defunct
FTC wanted to use Flying Cloud Airport as a touch-and-go
training area for jets. He added that MAC and the City of
Eden Prairie had worked Jointly to block this use of Flying
Cloud Airport. Barker said that an agreement had been made
reluctantly to increase the length of the runway to its
present length and to have some additional navigational
support. Barker said that MAC's rationale was that by
directing the traffic over the river it would decrease the
noise over the homes; however, the actual control over the
flight pattern still remained with the pilot. The noise level
regulations of FAR 36 for Flying Cloud Airport were the same
as those for JFK or O'Hare . MAC wanted heavier aircraft and
had agreed to a 20,000 pound gross limit; however, it had
never been enforced. Barker added that at the time when the
heavier limits were permitted MAC agreed that it would not
request any further expansion of the limits and in fact had
indicated that the purchase of the Lakeville Airport would be
the airport of choice for the jet traffic due to the
convenience of ground transportation at 1-35. The objective
of the Flying Cloud Airport Commission was to create a balance
between the businessmen in the community to help create a
better relationship between the community and the airport.
Barker questioned where the expansion would stop, it was now
considered that the proposed expansion was to accommodate the
critical aircraft, which were the 6 jets currently housed at
Flying Cloud Airport, but what will happen when heavier
aircraft is brought in, will further expansions again be
necessary.
Barker stated that MAC had said that there was no significant
Impact to the residential area; however, on two separate
occasions noise level readings had been taken from his yard
which indicated noise levels which exceeded the acceptable
levels of MAC. He added that MAC had said these levels were
aberrations caused by inversions. Barker asked if the
residents of Eden Prairie, because it was considered a quiet
area, should be subject to the addition of aircraft noise
because Eden Prairie was not up to the acceptable noise level.
Barker stated that another subject, which had not been
mentioned, was the helicopter traffic. He added there was no
City Council Minutes 8 November 29, 1988
control over the flight patterns or the elevations of the
helicopters, which were very noisy. Barker also questioned
what the possible tax loss could be to the community if Flying
Cloud Airport continued to buy up more and more land. Barker
questioned what the limits would be on night traffic at the
airport and would any regulations be enforced.
Barker concluded by stating that he lived as a neighbor to the
airport and did not have a problem with the airport as it was
originally intended to operate. Barker believed that the
community had given a great deal to the airport, but with the
proposed expansion questioned if Flying Cloud Airport would
continue to be a good neighbor in the community.
Dean Edstrom, 10133 Eden Prairie Road, stated that Mr. Barker
had addressed many of the p6ints he had intended to make and
endorsed Barker's comments. Edstrom believed that Flying
Cloud Airport was to become a reliever for the International
Airport to solve MAC'S problem of small Jet aircraft at the
International Airport. He did not believe that this type of
aircraft would be compatible with a residential area. Edstrom
did not see any benefit to Eden Prairie. Edstrom believed
that there would be pressure from the businesses to bring the
small Jet aircraft to Eden Prairie rather than the St. Paul-
Downtown facility. He added that he considered this to be a
breach of an agreement. Edstrom believed that these issues
had all been resolved with the agreement made years ago that
no further expansion would be requested.
Wallace Hustad, 10470 White Tail crossing, believed that the
original agreement had been to keep the Jets out of Flying
Cloud Airport, which MAC had said would be accomplished by not
providing jet fuel at Flying Cloud Airport. Hustad believed
the current existence of the 6 jets housed at the airport as a
direct violation of a commitment made by MAC.
Larry Simonson, 16199 Valley Road, stated that he and 7 other
residents on Valley Road opposed the extension of the runway.
Simonson believed that the expansion would open many issues in
the future and added that he would prefer the airport remained
as is.
Clark Horn, 7608 Erie Avenue, Chanhassen, stated that he was a
pilot of one of the smaller aircraft housed at Flying Cloud
Airport and added that he would like to keep his plane at
Flying Cloud. Hangar space is in demand at Flying Cloud and
he questioned if the hangar space was needed for the jets. He
believed that the greatest demand for hangar space was
currently coming from the smaller aircraft. Horn noted that
MAC was also conducting hearings on how to handle the
operating deficits at the outlying airports, which included
Flying Cloud Airport, and added that he was concerned that the
hangar space rent would be increased, which would drastically
affect the smaller operators. Horn stated that if Mode C was
City Council Minutes 9 November 29, 1988
accepted additional navigational equipment would have to be
installed in the smaller aircraft or they would no longer be
able to use the Flying Cloud facility. Horn believed that the
character of Flying Cloud Airport should be kept to
accommodate the small aviation pilots. Horn said that instead
of having no Jet fuel available at Flying Cloud Airport, the
situation was just the opposite and with limited fuel
available for the smaller aircraft.
Doug Sandstad, 8921 Knollwood Drive, stated that he was
pleased with the Staff Report and believed the Master Plan had
been nicely summarized. Sandstad encouraged the Council to
listen to the Staff's recommendations.
Chad Worcester, 17120 Cedarcrest Drive, stated that he was
still confused on what Eden Prairie could do to stop the
expansion of the airport. Worcester stated that he had been
informed when he purchased the property that his home was in
the flight pattern, but had also been told that it was not a
problem. Worcester concurred that currently there was no real
problem with noise with the exception of one noisy Jet.
Worcester was concerned about the jet traffic increasing and
the affect on the noise levels. He noted that a DC9 could
conceivably land on a 5,000 foot runway. Worcester was
concerned about the value of his property being reduced if the
jet traffic was allowed to be increased.
Peterson asked City Attorney Pauly to address what the
position of the City was at this time. Pauly replied that the
answers were not clear at this time and he recommended taking
steps to acquire information from the Attorney General.
Bob Gardner, 15701 Cedar Ridge Road, stated that he had
replaced Kent Barker on the Flying Cloud Airport Advisory
Commission. FMC's intent was to keep aircraft flying and the
airport operating and, therefore, was not sensitive to the
residents of the community. Gardner noted that the airport
control tower was only open from 6AM to lOPM; however, planes
did land at Flying Cloud Airport after 10PM. He added that
MAC had not acknowledged that planes did land after 10PM or
were flying too low and current regulations were not being
enforced. Gardner believed that the noise data provided were
biased and should be obtained from an independent group.
Gardner requested that the City collect its own data.
Jack VanRemortel, 16031 Summit Drive, stated that he was not
bothered by the planes; however, he had noticed an increase in
the use by jets. He believed that Staff had given the Council
a disservice by not presenting both sides of the issue, both
negative and positive aspects of the plan. VanRemortel said
that many residents throughout the country today had a "not in
my backyard" attitude. He believed that the expanded airport
would be an asset to the community which should be shared with
the surrounding communities. VanRemortel stated that he did
City counc12 Minutes 10 November 29, 1988
not have enough information at this time to support a plan.
He presented the Council with an article written about "grid-
lock" for our airports. VanRemortel believed that the City
needed to begin preparing today for the needs of the future.
Daryl Benson, 8676 Shiloh Court, believed that Staff had done
a good job in considering the facts. Benson noted that not
only was the noise study done during the week but it did not
include any jet traffic. Benson added that he was concerned
about the control over the flight patterns; because the pilot
determined the pattern now, he believed there should be more
control. Benson stated that at the end of the proposed runway
was a riding stable where horses had actually run through
fences when Jets had flown over.
Scott Mace, 16150 Valley Road, stated that he was opposed to
the expansion. He believed that Flying Cloud Airport was a
tolerable neighbor now, but an expansion would not be
tolerable. Noise was the primary objection and it was this
area of the study which he considered to be the least
accurate. Mace believed the study to be unscientific, there
was no information regarding peak traffic noise levels. He
believed that the consultants had avoided areas that would
conflict with the result that it wanted. Mace concluded that
the use would be incompatible with the area.
Joel Lehrke, 8901 Knollwood Drive, stated that he was in favor
of the airport expansion. Lehrke believed that an economic
benefit would be realized by Eden Prairie from the surrounding
communities. Lehrke noted that the new Citation 3 engine
which was newer and quieter than the older jets would not be
able to land at Flying Cloud Airport because of the 20,000
pound weight restriction. The newer aircraft also needed a
longer runway to operate, which would also create a safer
runway. Lehrke noted that the safety zone limits were to
limit the height of the buildings constructed in the area.
Lehrke stated that being a pilot for Northwest Airlines, he
believed that it would not be feasible to bring in the larger
aircraft such as the DC9 or the 727 because of the larger
ground support which would be necessary to serve these larger
airplanes.
Jay Olson, a Richfield resident and Flying Cloud Airport
businessman and member of the Flying Cloud Airport Advisory
Commission, stated that an open house was scheduled for
December 3, 1938 to show the type of aircraft which would be
utilizing Flying Cloud Airport and extended an invitation for
the Council to attend. The Flying Cloud Airport Advisory
Commission did want a good neighbor policy. The airport did
contribute to the community and was totally self-supporting.
100 aircraft housed at Flying Cloud Airport were owned by Eden
Prairie residents and 72 percent of the flights were business
related. 43 percent of those having aircraft at Flying Cloud
Airport had said they would relocate their businesses if
City Council Minutes 11 November 29, 1988
Flying Cloud Airport was not available.
Jay Peterson, 8626 Coachman Lane, stated that his concern was
the impact of lengthening the runway and the increased noise.
He had noted a big difference in noise levels between the
small engine planes and the Jets. He believed that any
Increase in Jet traffic would contribute to unacceptable and
intolerable noise levels.
Fortman stated that he appreciated everyone coming out to
present their opinions. He requested a copy of the tape being
made of the meeting to allow MAC to respond in detail to the
many questions presented tonight. Mayor Peterson acknowledged
that a copy of the tape would be provided. Fortman stated
that the reason for the meeting tonight was because MAC did
consider the residents of Eden Prairie to be important. He
added that this was why the study had been presented to the
Planning Commission, the Parks, Recreation, and Natural
Resources Commission and two open public meetings had been
conducted. Fortman stated that noise was always a sensitive
subject and was difficult due to the different perceptions by
individuals of acceptable and unacceptable levels. Fortman
stated that the noise study was a scientific study
accomplished by using accepted procedures. Fortman understood
the sentiments of the residents. Fortman stated that MAC was
responsible for providing aviation facilities for the 7-county
metro area. It was the current policy to update plans every 5
years. Fortman questioned how MAC was to fulfill its
obligations without having an airport in someone's "backyard".
He commented that the same comments made here tonight were
heard in each community. MAC's policy was to maximize the use
of all existing facilities before building new ones. Fortman
noted that this proposal was part of a planning process and
not that of a construction process. Fortman stated that a
substantial investment was being projected; however, if the
users could not help support the facility, it would be
unlikely that MAC would proceed with the investment. Fortman
noted that there would be no financial contribution from the
City of Eden Prairie as all revenues for the airport were
derived from the users, or State and Federal funding which
comes from user taxes.
Pidcock asked Fortman if after hearing the same objections
from every community, MAC had not become blase to the
comments. Fortman replied that it actually reinforced to MAC
that the concerns were real.
Anderson was concerned about the City having little or no
control over the expansion.
Bentley stated that what he heard from the residents tonight
was a concern about the potential for a completely different
use than what currently existed with the number one concern
being the increased jet traffic. Bentley believed that there
City Council Minutes 12 November 29, 1988
was an economic benefit to the community. The flaw in the
report was that it did not address the concept of the entire
metro area, it only addressed what was proposed for Flying
Cloud Airport. He said it would have been helpful to see
where Flying Cloud Airport fits in with the 7-county airport
scheme. Bentley noted that it would only take the addition of
one foot to the proposed 5000-foot runway to have Flying Cloud
Airport classified as an intermediate airport. He believed
that the fear of many of the residents was that the push was
to eventually create an intermediate facility. Bentley
believed that the residents were not concerned with an
increase in air traffic, but rather the type of air traffic.
Bentley did not believe that Eden Prairie could tolerate an
increase in jet traffic and added that he did not believe that
the report had shown the need for the increase.
Peterson stated that he was concerned with the recurring theme
that the City of Eden Prairie or the MAC has little control
over the recreational and commercial aviation and that there
was an absolute right of these aircraft to land whenever and
wherever they wanted. Peterson noted that as a city Eden
Prairie exerts its authority to monitor recreational water
craft, but it yet could not control the air traffic. Peterson
believed that if MAC could not control the number of planes or
the noise level of those planes, then it was MAC'S
responsibility to look ahead and purchase the land to allow
recreational and commercial aircraft absolute access to the
facility. Peterson did not believe that the residents of Eden
Prairie were saying "not in my backyard", but by asking that
the good-neighbor relationship be continued, they were simply
expressing their legitimate concern about the increase in jet
traffic. Peterson believed that the residents wanted to let
MAC know that Eden Prairie had rights too, and added that
those rights were just as absolute as those who will use the
airport. He believed that MAC needed to either manage the air
traffic or buy the land.
MOTION:
Anderson moved, seconded by Harris to accept the reports of
the Planning Commission, Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
Commission, and Staff to deny the proposed plan by MAC for the
expansion of Flying Cloud Airport. Motion carried
unanimously.

Jullie reported that notice of the Public Hearing had been
sent to owners of 33 surrounding properties and published
in the November 30, 1988 issue of the Eden Prairie News.
Ron Krueger, representing the proponent, stated that
additional information had been presented to the Council
to establish the benefits to be obtained by the
development of single-family homes versus twin-homes.
Krueger stated that less of the lot would be disturbed by
a single-family home, allowing additional tree savings.

this item at its September 26, 1988 meeting and noted

t
the Staff Report of September 23, 1988 was being carr

single-family homes adjacent to duplexes. Two
alternatives were presented in the Staff Report with

t
the Staff recommendations remained the same.
Bentley stated that when this item had been presented
originally the only reason given for the request for

with the proposal.
Scott Anderson, 6825 Stonewood Court, stated that he
wanted to see owners of homes, not renters. The tre

Stonewood Court was to build cheaper twinhomes becau

B. ZACHMAN BROTHERS 1ST ADDITION by Zachman Development
Corporation. Request for Comprehensive Guide Plan
Amendment from Low Density Residential to Medium Density
Residential on 5 acres, Zoning District Change from Rural
and RM-6.5 to R1-9.5 on 5 acres with variances to be
reviewed by the Board of Appeals, Preliminary Plat of 5
acres into 20 single family lots, 3 outlots, and road
right-of-way. Location: The southwest corner of Franlo
Road and Preserve Boulevard. (Resolution No. 88-276,
Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment; Ordinance No. 58-88,
Rezoning; Resolution No. 88-277, Preliminary Plat)
Jullie reported that notice of the Public Hearing was sent
to owners of 82 surrounding properties and published in
the November 30, 1988 issue of the Eden Prairie News.
Bob Smith, representing the proponent, stated that based
on recommendations presented by the neighbors, Staff, and
the Planning Commission, the cluster homes had been
removed from the project to provide a better transition.
The flow-through drive had been eliminated to Preserve
Boulevard and the plan revised to depict a cul-de-sac
accessing to Franlo Road. Another issue raised by the
neighbors was the storm water run-off. Smith added that
the drainage would be collected in catch basins located in
the cul-de-sac and diverted to Preserve Boulevard.
Smith stated that originally 16 variances were necessary
to achieve the R1-9.5 zoning. The Planning Commission
believed that the number of variances required was
excessive and recommended the elimination of an additional
lot, which reduced the number of lots to 16 and the number
of variances required to 4. Smith stated that the density
would be 3.2 units per acre, with the average lot size
being 11,612 square feet. Smith noted that the
Engineering Department had approved the plans for the
overflow and swales.
Smith stated that the proponent would like to request an
early grading permit to allow sand to be brought onto the
site and to move the soil to create the building sites;
however, he noted there would not be mass grading.
Enger reported that this item had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its October 24, 1988 and November
28, 1988 meetings and received approval for the 16-lot
plan based on the recommendations as outlined in the
November 25, 1988 Staff Report.
Peterson questioned the number of variances outlined in
the November 25, 1988 Staff Report and if they were to be
based on the final plan. Enger replied that the plan had
been revised to eliminate an additional lot after the
November 25, 1988 Staff Report had been prepared and 12 of
7ity CJuncil Minutes 7 December 13, 1988
the 16 variances had been eliminated.
Bentley asked why fill was currently being dumped on the
south end of the property. Smith replied that this was
fill from another site. Bentley then asked if there was
an outlet for the pond area so that it was not land-
locked. Smith replied that there was an existing catch
basin. Smith added that the pond size and capacity would
be increased and the overflow would be directed to Franlo
Road.
Peterson asked how much attention had been given to egress
traffic during rush hour. Dietz replied that a signal was
planned for Preserve Boulevard at Prairie Center Drive,
which would create the necessary gaps in the traffic and
added that there was the possibility for a signal at
Frani° Road and Prairie Center Drive.
Anderson asked Dietz if the traffic coming out of this
development could be limited to a right turn only. Dietz
replied that if it was warranted a signal or a 4-way stop
could be installed. Dietz believed that this development
would not add a significant amount of traffic; however, he
stated that Staff would watch this intersection.
Pidcock asked Smith to clarify the storm water drainage
for the project. Smith replied that the storm water would
be collected in catch basins in the cul-de-sac and
directed to Preserve Boulevard. Pidcock then asked if the
basement levels would be above the catch basin. Smith
replied the basements would be approximately 2 feet above
the catch basin. Pidcock stated that she was concerned
with the possibility of water in the basements. Smith
replied that the proponent had changed the plan to
increase the capacity of the pending area and redirect the
overflow to the streets to correct an existing problem
with water in the basements.
Dean Malotky, 8687 Kathryn Court, stated that he was in
favor of the improvement in the drainage system and also
favored single-family homes, which he believed to be a
reasonable transition.
Dietz asked for clarification on the purpose of bringing
sand onto the site. Smith replied that the sand was
required for the preparation of the building pads. Smith
added that due to the timing of the season the proponent
wished to have the sand hauled in now and placed along the
boulevard. Dietz then asked if the grading would all be
done at one time. Smith replied that minor grading would
be required on some sites and the top soil would be
stripped and sand placed on the site to create the
building pads.
City Council Minutes 8 December 13, 1988
Anderon asked if grading had already taken place on this
site without a grading permit. Zachman replied that he
had placed approximately 700 yards of sand on the site
when Krueger & Associates had informed him that he needed
a grading permit to do this. Zachman added that he had
stopped hauling the sand at that point and was here to
request an early grading permit to allow an additional 300
yard of sand to be placed on the site to solve the
drainage problem before road weight restrictions. The
sand will be placed along Preserve Boulevard and will not
interfere with the drainage pond. Anderson believed that
the developer had been working in Eden Prairie long enough
to know that a grading permit was required and was
disturbed that grading had started on this project prior
to approval by the City Council. Smith replied that this
could have been an errok due to the Watershed District not
requiring a grading permit for under one acre. Smith
added that the proponent did curtail further grading
immediately upon notification that a permit was necessary.
Bentley concurred with Anderson that knowledge of the
City's requirements was the responsibility of the
developer; however, in this case no amenities had been
harmed and the proponent had stopped upon notification
that a permit was required.
No further comments from the audience.

proceed at its own risk.
Anderson asked Dietz what the cost of the grading permit
/ C51,7
71ty Council Minutes 9 December 13, 1988
would be. Dietz replied that the cost was based on cubic
yards and estimated the cost to be approximately $200.
Anderson then asked if there should not be two permits,
one for what was already done and one for what he proposed
to do at this time. Dietz replied that the permit cost
would include what had already been brought onto the site
in addition to what was proposed.
Motion carried unanimously.
C. FAIRFIELD PHASES 2 THROUGH 6 by Tandem Corporation.
Request for Planned Unit Development District Review, with
waivers for street frontage and lot size on 118.2 acres,
Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-9.5 on 82.7 acres
and from Rural to R1-13.5 on 33.6 acres, and Preliminary
Plat of 118.2 acres into 299 single family lots, 28
outlots, and road right-of-way, for construction of a
residential development. Location: West of County Road
No. 4, southeast of the Minneapolis and St. Louis
Railroad. (Ordinance No. 59-88-PUD-15-88, PUD District
and Rezoning; Resolution No. 88-278, Preliminary Plat)
Jullie reported that notice of the Public Hearing was sent
to owners of 63 surrounding properties and published in
the November 30, 1988 issue of the Eden Prairie News.
Jim Ostenson, representing the proponent, presented that
final plans for Phases 2 through 6 for the Fairfield
Subdivision. Based on the results of the Southwest Area
Study the phasing had been reconfigured to have Phase 2 be
developed at the time when Scenic Heights Road would be
realigned with the balance of the project to proceed from
east to west following Phase 2. Ostenson stated that the
courtyard areas would have the architectural diversity as
recommended by Staff and presented the Council with
several of the designs being proposed.
Enger reported that this item was reviewed by the Planning
Commission at its October 13, 1989 meeting and recommended
approval of the project based on the Staff Report dated
November 10, 1988. Enger stated that it was important
that no further development take place until Scenic
Heights Road was realigned and the improvements to County
Road #4 were completed.
Lambert reported that the Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission did not review this plan beyond the
original review.
Peterson asked for clarification on when this phase of the
project would be constructed and questioned why the
Council was approving a Preliminary Plat in 1988 for
development in 1990. Enger replied that it was the
proponents desire to present to everyone as firm an
Council Minutes 10 December 13, 1988
expectation as possible for what would be developed in the
area.
Bentley asked what the proponents grading plan was and if
It included mass grading of the entire site. Ostenson
replied the grading had been completed for Phase I and at
some point in the future the proponent would like to
export fill material from the site. Ostenson added that
at that time the proponent would come in for grading and
mining permits; however, the proponent did not wish to
have this tied to rezoning. Bentley stated that he would
like to have grading be tied to the development phases as
part of the Developers Agreement. Ostenson replied that
some overlapping of grading could occur from one phase to
another. Enger replied that the language in the
Developers Agreement coOld read such that the grading for
a particular phase would not exceed the proposed grading
plan by over 20%.
Steve Wagner, 8430 Eden Prairie Road, stated that he would
like direction from the Council on what to expect with the
road alignments, what the impact would be to his property,
will the property be cut in half, where is the proposed
alignment for Scenic Heights Road to be located, and how
are the property owners to proceed while all these issues
are left undecided. Dietz replied that the road
alignments were still in the planning stages. Dietz added
that on December 20, 1988 there would be a public hearing
on the official mapping of Highway #212 and in January
there would be a public hearing on the Southwest Study
Area Plan. Dietz stated that a feasibility study would be
required for road improvements and specific answers would
not be available until that study had been completed;
however, there would be some flexibility for the alignment
of Scenic Heights Road. Wagner then asked how the Council
would respond to a development proposal for his property
In relation to Scenic Heights Road. Dietz replied that if
a development proposal was presented a negotiation process
would begin to determine road alignments. Enger added
that if Wagner came to the City with a proposal he would
be told that provisions would be necessary for the
continuance of Scenic Heights Road. Enger added that
there would be some flexibility of a few feet to the north
or south for the alignment of Scenic Heights Road. Wagner
stated that he did not believe that he had been allowed to
offer any input as to where Scenic Heights Road would be
located on his property.

the proponent did not have control over the road alignment
between this proposed plat and County Road #4.

District Amendment within the RM-2.5 Zoning District on
8.36 acres with variances to be reviewed by the Board of
Appeals, Preliminary Plat of 8.36 acres into 3 lots for
construction of a 64-unit senior housing development.

Jullie reported that the proper notices had been mailed to
the affected property owners.
John Miller, representing Elim Homes, presented that plans
for a 64-unit senior citizens housing project. Miller
stated that 9 variances had been requested with 6 being
approved and 3 being denied by the Board of Appeals and
Adjustments. He added that two of the variances dealt
with the height of the building and the third related to
setback requirements from Mitchell Lake, which had been
withdrawn. A Corps of Engineers grading permit had been
issued.
Enger reported that the plan had been reviewed at the
November 28, 1988 Planning Commission and had received
approval based on the recommendations outlined in the
November 25, 1988 Staff Report. Enger noted that the plan
was not reviewed by the Parks, Recreation & Natural

Minneapolls and St. Paul Combined Sewer_Ove_rtlow
Sgpaxation project (continued from 11/15/88)
Peterson stated that he would vote against the proposed
resolution. Peterson added that he supported the program
mandated by the Legislature and that Eden Prairie was not
automatically opposed to what the legislature determined
was good for the core cities.
Bentley stated that the core cities had already received
forgiveness for $32 million and were now requesting an
additional $49 million because federal money which had
been pledged was not forthcoming. Bentley did not believe
action by this Council would change the outcome; however,
It did give Eden Prairie a chance to voice its opinion.
MOTION:_
Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson to adopt Resolution
No. 88-266 supporting the position of the Suburban Rate
Authority. Motion carried 3-2, with Peterson and Pidcock
voting "NO".
B. Draft Ordinance regarding Recreational Vehicles
MOTION;
Bentley moved, seconded by Harris to direct Staff to
redraft the proposed ordinance to include the
recommendations from the Planning Commission.
Simon Root, 7286 Topview Road, stated support for the
ordinance. He encouraged the City to act as quickly as
possible as the ordinance had been with Staff and the
Council for sometime.
Bernadine Moser, 7263 Topview Road, asked why the process
was taking so long and why it seemed that the Council and
Staff were hesitant to make a decision. Peterson replied
that Staff and the Council would be taking a major step
with the motion made by Councilmember Bentley. Peterson
added that the ordinance would have a significant impact
on the residents of Eden Prairie and believed that it was
appropriate to allow sufficient time to allow residents to
comment. He concluded by stating that this was a careful
process.
City Attorney Pauly wished to address the recommendations
of the Planning Commission. Pauly stated that the
Planning Commission had requested that grandfathering
provisions be limited to specific vehicles. Pauly added
('ity Council Minutes 15 December 13, 1988
that the grandfathering as currently described provided
for continuance of the uses that were legal at the time of
the adoption of the ordinance. Pauly believed that
limiting the grandfather policy to specific vehicles could
not be allowed. Pauly recommended that the applicability
of a grandfathering clause would need to be determined on
a case-by-case basis. The recommendation that a vehicle
was required to be in a safe and operable condition with a
current license had already been addressed clearly in the
current draft. Pauly requested clarification on what the
Planning Commission had considered for the height of a
recreational vehicle and the recommendation to minimize
storage in the front yards. Enger replied that the
Planning Commission had requested that the restriction
referenced in the Nebraska draft relating to parking
across sidewalks and/or'trails be included in the
ordinance, that a minimum sideyard setback be provided,
and that as the 7-foot height restriction might not be
appropriate, further study should be done. Enger added
that the Planning Commission believed that the ordinance
would be clearer if a specific time limit was set for the
abandonment period.
Anderson stated that a van was 7 feet in height and a
pickup with a topper was lower in height than a van.
Anderson was concerned about the number of times the
residents had been to the Council meetings and had not
been heard until late in the agenda and, therefore,
recommended that when the public hearing regarding the
ordinance was held that it be at the beginning of the
agenda. Anderson believed that the residents had been
patient and that the process was taking a long time.
Forrest Colston, 7215 Topview Road, stated that he had a
recreational vehicle which was an 11-foot Winnebago.
Motion carried unanimously.
VIII. PETITIONS, REQUESTS CPMMOLgATION1
A. TUCH_QF_CIASS--Appeal of the Decision of the Board of
Appeals and Adjustments for Variance Request No. 88-51.
Kate Halverson, believed that the letter dated November 7,
1988 presented the rationale for the variance request.
Halverson presented additional facts which had not been
presented to the Hoard of Appeals and Adjustments.
Halverson stated that several meetings had been held with
the Shelard Group related to the development of the
property. She added that a finalization for the purchase
of the adjacent property was near completion and,
therefore, the entire parcel would be developed.
Halverson noted two other cases in the vicinity where the
Council had been flexible related to siding. Halverson
City Council Minutes 16 December 13, 1988
believed that the requests were realistic and reasonable.
Peterson stated that this was a transitional area, the
property had been well maintained since it had been
changed to commercial use. Peterson noted the reason for
the requirement of a brick or better exterior material for
commercial buildings was to provide easy maintenance.
Peterson did not believe it was the intent of the
ordinance that all commercial facilities conform
immediately and recommended an extension of the time
period to conform to three years or until such time as any
contiguous property was developed. Peterson added that if
a contiguous property developed Touch of Class would be
notified to appear within 30 days to determine
conformance.
Pidcock believed it would create undue hardship on the
property owner to use a brick exterior when the state of
the surrounding properties had not been determined.
Harris concurred that the property had been well
maintained; however, she preferred to delimit a time for
review.
Bentley believed that a conditional use permit should be
utilized in this type of situation and added that the
ordinance was designed to create conformity, not to cause
undue hardship for the property owners. Bentley
questioned the long-term existence of the buildings in
their current state. Bentley added that the Board of
Appeals and Adjustments had not acted improperly and had
performed correctly based on its interpretation of the
City Code.
MOTION:
Bentley moved, seconded by Harris to reverse the Board of
Appeals decision related to Variance Request No. 88-51,
that the reversal be for a period of three years and
reconsideration take place when the property was sold or
significant alteration of the property took place. Motion
carried unanimously.
B. ELIM SHORES--Appeal of the Decision of the Board of
Appeals and Adjustments for Variance Request No. 88-57.
Enger reported that the Board of Appeals was concerned
about the Shoreland setback variance and the building
height variance. Enger stated that the proponent was
prepared to withdraw the variance request at this time for
the Shoreland setback. Enger noted that the original plan
for the building was at a height of 57 feet. The
Shoreland Ordinance allows for a height of 30 feet. Enger
said that approximately one year ago a variance was
7ity Council Minutes 17 December 13, 1988
approved on this property to allow a height in excess of
the 30 feet based on the rationale of the difference
between a flat roof and a pitched roof, with the Board of
Appeals and Adjustments believing that a pitched roof
would be more appropriate adjacent to a residential area.
The proposed 57-foot height consisted of a 4-story
building with a walk-out and a pitched roof. The Board of
Appeals and Adjustments heard testimony from residents
that believed this height would be out of character with
the existing structures in the area and that sufficient
evidence had not been presented for a hardship case.
Therefore, the request was denied by the Board of Appeals
and Adjustments.
Enger reported that the proponent had revised the plan to
depict 3 stories by changing the mix of the units to
retain the 64 units originally proposed. The proponent
wished to maintain the walk-out and the pitched roof.
Enger noted that the walk-out would not affect the height
of the building. Enger stated that Staff concurred with
the proponent that a pitched roof would be more compatible
with the existing neighborhood.
Bentley asked what the proposed height of the building was
at this time. John Miller, representing Elim Shores,
stated that the height of the building presently would be
37 feet from grade to the peak of the roof on three sides.
Miller added that if the walk-out were retained the height
would be 47 feet for the front of the building facing the
lake. Enger replied that the variance request at this
time was for 47 feet if the walk-out were retained.
Harris stated that the walk-out area would include the
service areas and asked if the services would be
eliminated if the walk-out were not possible. Miller
replied that extensive berming and landscaping was being
proposed to mitigate the height of the building. Miller
added that with the elimination of one story, the units
had been compacted, and the dining room, kitchen, and
service areas had been moved to the lower level. Miller
believed that the kitchen and dining area needed natural
light to make it a useable space.
Peterson asked for clarification on the mention of
residents being "Christian" over the age of 62. Miller
replied that the facility would be nondenominational, with
the average age of the resident expected to be 75 years.
The units would be privately subsidized by Elim Shores and
Elim Homes. Twenty-five units were pre-registered at this
time. Peterson stated that the wording was not intended
to be restrictive in any way. Miller replied that this
was correct.
City Council Minutes 18 December 13, 1988
Bill Schulz, 7924 Island Road, read into the record a
letter from the Timberlakes Homeowners Association which
stated objection to the 48-foot proposed building height.
Scholz noted that this request would represent
approximately a 60% increase above the existing 30-foot
requirement. Scholz stated that the second objection
related to the fact that existing homeowners had purchased
their property with the knowledge of the present zoning
restrictions and believed that a precedent would set which
he believed could pose a negative effect on the resident's
faith in the zoning system. Scholz believed that the
variance should not be approved. Scholz presented a slide
presentation viewing the existing neighborhood both from
the lake and the land proposed to be developed. Scholz
was concerned not only with the height of the building but
also the total mass size of the structure. Scholz added
that this size of a building did not blend well into a
single-family area.
Colleen Petree, 7906 Island Road, stated that she would be
able to see the building from her back yard. She believed
the building would appear extremely large and added that
the 30-foot height rstriction should be maintained.
Charles Kuvaya, 7902 Island Road, stated that he applauded
the purpose for providing senior housing; however, he
opposed the design. Kuvaya believed this structure would
have a negative effect on the property values of the
existing homes. He added that he had invested over
$200,000 for his home and had planned to live out his life
In this home, but if this facility was allowed to be built
his view of the lake and the whole appearance of the
neighborhood would change. Kuvaya believed the 30-foot
height limit should be upheld.
Dwight Harvey, a member of the Board of Appeals, stated
that while he appreciated the proponents reducing the
height from 57 feet to 48 feet, he believed that the
Shoreland Ordinance was designed for a reason. Harvey
added that the highest portion of the building would face
toward the lake and the Shoreland Ordinance protected the
view of the lake. Harvey asked the proponent if nursing
services would be provided. Miller replied that there
would be home health care services. Harvey then asked if
the beauty shop would be a commercial shop and if this
were allowed in a residential area. Peterson replied that
it would be allowed, but only for the residents of the
facility, not the general public.
Brian Foltz, 8008 Island Road, concurred with Mr. Harvey
that the Shoreland Ordinance existed for a reason, and
although great strides have been made by the proponent to
revise the plan, he believed that the 30-foot height
restriction should be respected and upheld.
City Council Minutes 19 December 13, 1988
Kermit Hansen, 8002 Timber Lake Drive, stated that he
recommended approval of the project. Hansen added that
other alternatives for development of this property could
be worse. Hansen stated that if a flat roof were used on
the building it could meet the 30-foot height restriction;
however, he concurred that a flat roof would not fit in
with the character of the neighborhood. Hansen stated
that Elim Shores had spent a considerable amount of time
and effort in the design of the building and the
landscaping plans to try to conceal the buildings view
from the lake. Hansen concluded by stating that he
believed that the plans as presented by Elim Shores were
the best that could be expected for this parcel.
Anderson asked Enger if site elevation comparisons had
been done. Enger replied they had not Anderson then
asked if this development would be higher or lower than
the homes along the south shore as shown on the slide
presentation by Mr. Sholz. Enger replied that he did not
have the exact elevation; however, he believed this
facility would be lower than the homes to the south. The
proponent stated that the height of the building would be
similar to the existing homes. Miller added that due to
access available to the facility it would be difficult to
lower the elevation further without redistributing the
parking area.
Jack Pointer, member of the Northbay Homeowners
Association, stated that this property had been stagnant
for sometime and believed that development of the property
would improve the existing property values. Pointer
believed that other alternatives for development would be
less desirable. Pointer believed that this was a quality
project. Pointer noted that the single-family homes on
Island Road were multi-story with walk-outs, which would
be similar in height to what was being proposed by Elim
Shores. Pointer stated that the property was zoned multi-
family and believed that any structure to be developed on
this site would be larger than the single-family homes.
Pointer concluded by stating that the Board of the
Northbay Homeowners Association had recommended approval
of the project.
Bob Holt, 7970 Island Road, stated that there were reasons
why the Shoreland Ordinance was written and questioned
what criteria wPre used to determine if a variance should
be allowed. Holt said that he did not object to the
quality of the project or its intent, however, what he did
object to was the physical size of the building. Holt
believed that the color of the brick could help to mask
the size and asked if a definite color had been
determined. Miller replied that the color had not
established and added that it would work to have the color
be compatible. Pauly replied that the answer related to
7ity Council Minutes 20 December 13, 1988
the criteria for a variance was proof by the applicant
that an undue hardship was being placed on the property
due to the ordinance.
Charles Kuyava, 7902 Island Road, believed that because
this and another project were meeting opposition at the
planning stages of development, that possibly the property
was incorrectly zoned and could the zoning be changed at
this time Kuyava believed that the proponent had done
the best it could to development a quality project;
however, he wished that another type of project could be
considered for this property. Peterson replied that it
would be unlikely that a developer would consider down
zoning this property and added that if a project were
brought before the Council, which met all the City Codes,
the Council could not deny the developer to proceed. •
Dave Orlowsky, 7920 Timber Lake Drive, believed that this
was the highest quality project that had been proposed
over the years for this property. He added that the
developer had worked cooperatively to try to develop a
project which would fit in with the existing neighborhood
and to protect the property values of the surrounding
properties. Orlowsky was concerned that if the height of
the building were reduced the length and width would be
increased, which he believed would be more detrimental to
property values for the adjacent properties.
There were no further comments from the audience.
MOTION:„
Anderson moved, seconded by Harris to reverse the decision
made by the Board of Appeals.
Bentley believed that in essence what was being approved
was the equivalent of a three-story building due to the
fourth story being buried and the site heavily landscaped
and bermed. The pitched roof which added to the height
added quality to the building and helped to blend in with
the surrounding properties. He stated that the developer
was providing subsidized senior housing which had been
mandated by the Metropolitan Council. Bentley concluded
by stating that because the height of the building had
been reduced after the Board of Appeals decision he would
support the motion to reverse the decision of the Board of
Appeals.
Harris stated that she understood the concerns of the
residents; however, an extra effort had been made on the
part of the developer to give this project a residential
character. Harris believed that if the height of the
building were reduced and the length and width increased,
the result would be less desirable. Harris added that if
r,
City Council Minutes 21 December 13, 1988
a flat roof were proposed the developer would be closer to
the required height; however, she believed that the
Pitched roof would be more attractive. Harris supported
the motion.
Peterson believed that undue hardship had not been proven.
He said that the developer had stated that the project
could be constructed with one less story and, therefore,
would not support the motion.
Motion carried 4-1, with Peterson voting "NO".
Pidcock stated that she believed the City had a moral
obligation to provide housing for the elderly in Eden
Prairie,
MOTION:
Bentley moved, seconded by Pidcock to recess the City
Council meeting and proceed with the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority meeting. Motion carried
unanimously.
C. Request for Exterior Changes to Eden Puirie c&riter
Pidcock asked what the building materials would be. Larry
Johnson, architect, replied that the exterior would be
stucco with brick peers. The facia would be curved with 5
horizontal reveal bands with 5/8" red neon tubing. The
new Eden Prairie logo would be placed on the reveals. The
columns would be enlarged, wrapped with steel, and
possibly illuminated. The canopy would also be made of
steel with a Teflon sleeve, which would be illuminated.
The purpose of the exterior renovations was to make a
grander statement and to draw attention to the entrances.
A slide presentation was made showing the proposed
entrances and the other interior renovations taking place
at the center.
Bentley asked if the proposed neon lighting and signage
would be allowed within the City's sign ordinance
criteria. Jean Johnson, Zoning Administrator, replied
that the signage had not been formally reviewed. She
added that discussions had taken place regarding what
would be necessary and what might be allowed in the
future. Larry Johnson replied that the intent was to have
the Council review the preliminary plans so that the
project did not progress only to find out it would not be
permitted. Bentley believed that if any action were taken
by the Council tonight it should be to review the sign
proposal and its compliance with the City's sign
ordinance. Jean Johnson stated that the Eden Prairie
Center signage had been approved as part of the original
PUD in 1976 and was part of a total sign package. She
-ity Council Minutes 22 December 13, 1388
added that the plans that were reviewed by Staff would
meet the code requirements and the proponent would be
returning to the Planning Commission and the Council with
an overall signage plan.
Peterson believed this proposal should be presented to
Staff and the Planning Commission before any Council
action.
D. Request from Fgrtier & Associates for a Grading_aerMit on
t_he Beddor proper_ty located at the N.E. quadrant of Dell
Road and T.H. 5 for aite Graltillg and q21 trlICtion of a
Gravel Access Road
Dietz reported that based on an onsite inspection by Staff
it was recommended that therequest be denied due to the
fact that the reasons presented for the request were
determined to be unfounded.
Darrell Fortier, representing the proponent, stated that
Highway #5 would be upgraded at sometime in the future.
He added that currently the land was leased and being
farmed: access on the property was limited by the gravel
road and an existing structure. The proponent wanted to
eliminate the draw to provide a smooth contiguous road.
Fortier stated that the request was in compliance with the
requirements of the Land Alteration Permit; however, he
did not disagree with Staff that the same results could be
accomplished with less grading. The other alternative
road alignme,nts were not favorable to the proponent at
this time.
Bentley stated that Land Alteration permits were not
typically granted without the review of a development
plan. He added that allowing speculative grading was not
a policy of the City of Eden Prairie and, therefore, could
not support the issuance of a Land Alteration permit
without a specific proposal being presented to the
Council.
Peterson asked what purpose the road would serve. Fortier
replied that the road would provide access to and from the
property and the farm land. Fortier added that there was
nothing in the ordinance which referenced the requirement
of the plan. Dietz asked Fortier if Staff had informed
him that a development plan was not necessary. Fortier
replied that Staff had advised him of what information was
necessary to receive the Land Alteration permit and upon
receipt of the information requested the issue of tree
removal was brought up: there had been no reference by
Staff that a development plan was required. Fortier
believed that this was not speculative grading. Bentley
recommended that the proponent work with Staff to resolve
the issues.
,
*ity Council Minutes 23 December 13, 1988
Peterson believed that this same parcel had been before
the Council within the last 2 to 3 years for rezoning
without a development plan. Enger replied that there had
been a request for rezoning and a hypothetical plan had
been presented. Enger added that the problems then were
that the plan was only hypothetical and that parts of the
plan were in conflict with City ordinances.
Dietz stated that the fact remains that significant
grading was being requested without sufficient rationale.
Peterson believed that adequate access was provided for
farming at this time. Fortier replied that the proponent
was currently trying to market the property and wished to
be able to drive a car on the road surface.
Pauly concurred with Councilmember Bentley's
recommendation to refer this item back to Staff. He added
that there was not sufficient information provided in the
Staff Report to determine if all the criteria had been met
to meet City Code.
MOTION:
Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson to refer the request
for a land alteration permit back to Staff. Motion
carried unanimously.

Anderson stated that there was a bill before the
City Council Minutes 24 December 13, 1988
Legislature which would give national park status within
the metropolitan area on the Mississippi River. He added
that upon further investigation he believed that the
Minnesota River could be included in the Bill to be
presented to the Legislature. The State of Minnesota and
the DNR were currently in the process of trying to clean
up the Minnesota River and Anderson believed that the City
of Eden Prairie should support this effort and request
Staff to investigate further the possibility of including
the Minnesota River in the Bill to be presented to the
Legislature as part of the Durenberger plan.

Anderson moved, seconded by Harris to direct Staff to
investigate including the Minnesota River in the

David Goble, representing the Foxjets, believed that the
Foxiets pay rental fees approximately twice that of other
teams in the metro area. Goble stated that currently the
Foxjets were paying $22 for 6 metered lanes and added that
the request was to have the fee be in line with what other
teams are paying. He said that Staff's contention was
that if this reduction was granted, other teams would also
he requesting reductions.
City Council Minutes 25 December 13, 1988
Ldmbert reported that the Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission's recommendation was to continue with
the existing rates. The purpose of the fees was to pay
for the operational costs of the Community Center. It was
further recommended that the Foxjets continue to pay on
the $4,000 debt, and that the rates not be increased but
remain the same.
Anderson stated that the original intent was that the
operational costs of the facility would be paid for by the
users of the facility. Lambert replied that the original
theory on rates had been for the City to meet operational
costs as well as be in a comparable range with other
areas. Lambert added that compared to other municipal
facilities Eden Prairie was competitive; however, compared
with the rates charged by schools, the Community Center
was higher.
Peterson asked how many of the FoxJets were residents of
Eden Prairie. Goble replied that currently 80% are Eden
Prairie residents.
Lambert commented that Staff believed that the operational
costs to operate the pool and the ice arena were similar.
He added that the charge is $72 per hour for ice and only
$28 per hour for the pool. Lambert stated that the pool
costs were being subsidized.
Bentley stated that the original intent of the Community
Center was to provide a facility which would be open to
the public the majority of the time; however, the majority
of the time the Center currently was occupied by organized
groups which infringed on the public use of the facility.
Bentley believed that the City's operating philosophy
could not justify a reduction in fees unless there was a
correlating change in membership fee.
Goble noted that the Foxjets did not use the entire pool
at any given time. He added that the Foxjets would be
willing to extend the time and reduce the number of lanes
used at any time.
Anderson stated that athletics had changed over the years
and the costs had become dramatic.
Goble concluded by stating that the request was to receive
similar rates as other communities and noted that the
Foxjels did utilize extensive fund raising programs.

Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson to deny the request by
the FoxJets based on the Staff Memo. Motion carried
unanimously.

2. Recommendation on Revised ca_sh Park Fees
Lambert reported that it was the recommendation of the
Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission to
further study this issue.
Anderson recommended that a certain percent of the Cash
Park Fee be set aside as a trail fee. Lambert replied
that would require an additional fee. Lambert added that
County Road #4 and County Road #1 were the only missing
links in the trail system and believed that a referendum
would be the best way to receive the funds to complete the
trail system. Anderson stated that recommendations for
trails along County Road #4 and County Road #1 were made
back in 1975 and added that because of lack of funds there
were still unsafe areas within Eden Prairie. Lambert
believed that Eden Prairie had one of the best trail
systems in the metro area.
MOTION:
Bentley moved, seconded by Harris to direct Staff to draft
a memorandum with recommendations for the 1989 Cash Park
Fees and to include the consideration of an additional
amount to be utilized for trail systems. Motion carried

Acting mayor Richard Anderson called the meeting to order at 7:30 PM.
C. Peterson absent.
II. BOARD PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION
Dawson explained that this meeting was one of a continuing series of meetings
between the Board and the Council. It had been several years since the last
meeting and there had been a membership turnover on both groups since that time.
Communication issues needed to be discussed.
Johnson gave a simunry of the variances, stating that the average number per
year came to 40-60. She explained the process of applying for a variance,
and clarified the zoning, platting, and POD processes. She noted the summary
of the 1988 variances in the packet. She added that the degree of the variance
requested was a major issue that the Board wished to discuss.
Pidcock asked if the code should be adjusted, since there seems to be a
number of variances as neighborhoods upgrade.
Tenpas felt the Council should examine the development and review process.
Harvey asked how much time was spent on development projects at the City
Council levd at the first reading?
Acting Mayor Anderson answered that it can be considerable, expecially when
they involve lake frontage. The developer may be giving something to the City
as nrcptiaiien takes place.
Harris noted that the quality of the project was also considered and whether it
fit into the design of the City.
Harvey asked if there were any "sacred" code sections.
Discussion took place on R1-44 and R1-22 2ming district standards.
Pidcock believed it was important to preserve our natural enviroment
especially bluffs and lakeshore.
Tennas felt that the Staff did a good job of working with the developers
before projects came to the Council. He thought before they were presented
to the Council, the applicants probably had a pretty good idea of what would
or would not be approved.
Longman noted that the issue for the Board was that after they had spent about
3 hours on a variance, what decision would the Council make? Five of the six
decisions that the Board considered to be most important were overturned by
the Council. He added that he realized the applicant would be coming to the
Council on these variances, and that Council members may see them differently.
But, he added, that if five of those six in the last two years had been over-
turned, why did the Board spend so much time deliberating those variances?
Harvey asked what information the Council had available when they hear the
variances.
Tenpas answered that the Council Members read the minutes of the Board and
reviewed the same reports that were available to the Board Members.
Longman cited the examples of Touch of Class and Cabriole Center.
S Anderson suggested that possibly the Chairman of the Board of Appeals speak
at variance appeals at Council Meetings. In this way, the opinion of the Board
could be clearly stated.
Harvey asked if appeals of Board decisions were a public hearing.
R Anderson answered no, they were public meetings.
Longman felt it was unfortunate that the Board members believed they had to be at
Council meetings defending their decisions.
Harris noted that regarding the two variances cited (Touch of Class and
Cabriole Center) the Council took other issues into consideration. Denying
people the use of their property can involve legal matters.
R Anderson noted that the vote on the Touch of Class variance was not
unanimous.
Harvey stated that at the Council Meeting, Touch of Class presented it's
reasons why the Board decision should be overturned. The Board members were not
asked for their opinions. Four members had been present.
r ,z;
3
Harris noted that anyone who wishes to speak at the Council meeting may do so.
She said she could not recall a time when a member of the Board presented
an issue.
R Anderson reminded those present that the Board is a recommending body.
He suggested that when Board members feel strongly, they should come to the
Council meeting and address the Council personally. Many aspects need to be wisai o v vEldsAution and he had personally been upset at decisions made
Bozonie asked what. the Council view on economic hardship was.
Harris said it was part of many factors that were considered.
S Anderson explained the history of the Touch of Class variance for the
benefit of those not familiar with the background.
Freemyer said he had been taking classes on land use planning and planning
ordinances. The statutes say the final decision is to come from the City
Council, but the City Council can use only the same criteria as the Board
of Appeals. The Council may disagree, but need to follow the same criteria.
Tenpas felt it was a commercial use that blends in with a residential area.
Pidcock explained that the applicants did not want to change the exterior
to brick because of the planned highway development.
R Anderson noted that both State law and City ordinances came into play here.
Longmian stated that regarding the Touch of Class, the Board was not taking or
restricting the use of the property--just asking them to bring it closer to code.
Tenpas said Staff attended the meetings where there are questions on variances.
Arockiasamv believed that this joint meeting was an excellent idea. He said
that he had been a member of the Board of Appeals for many years and this was
the first time he had attended a joint meeting. The Board is an extension of
the Council. Meetings such as these should be held every six months and the
instances where the Board decisions were overturned should be discussed. He
thought there were two groups of variances--contingent and non -contingent--
and he explained the differences. These can involve existing property or
developments. Developments were more difficult and if the Planning Commission
and the Council reviewed these first, there should he some communication with
the Board. Regarding the Touch of Class case, there was a compromise the first
time it was reviewed by the Board. After one year, they came back and had not done
anything so it was extended another year. After the second year it was the same--
nothing had been done and they stated that they did not want to do anything.
He agreed that it was not appropriate for the Board to speak as a body at the
Council Meeting, only each as a resident. If the Council had invited opinion,
Board members would have spoken. The applicant had given a brief presentation,
there was not discussion or deliberation, and the request was granted. Board
members had been under the opinion that the Council would consider this an
important decision because of their presence.
4
He continued as he quoted from the code:"undue hardship because of unusual
circumstances on the property," He agreed with that reason, but went on
to give the definition of "undue hardship" as being: the property cannot
be put to a reasonable use." Touch of Class was already using the property.
It could continue to be used, with the expense of a few more dollars.
Harvey added that Touch of Class was symptomatic of a problem. Procedural
things may be done to help the problem. The Board had an obligation to
explain to the applicant why the variance was approved or denied. The
Board would like some explanation from the Council in return. They wished to know where they had made a mistake.
Pidcock noted that people arrive at their decisions from different points
of view. -
Harvey felt that just as the proponet needed an opportunity to present his
case, so did the Board need that opportunity.
Harris said the Board did not make a mistake--the Council had used the
same information, hut looked at future plans and road changes. It was not
an economic hardship alone.
Tenpas said hecould understand the Council decision taking into consideration
the road plam for that area. Maybe some modification in the code regarding
the use of brick should be considered.
uawson noted that the Board ileedS ts) take the code as its direction. Changes
to the code would be initiated by the Council and Planning Commission.
Akemann said the Board was not able to find undue hardship. The hardhsip was
uncertainty--which cannot be used as a hardship. Would it be possible to limit
or set a percentage of the variance that must be completed within a one year
time frame?
jU11116011 bald sue nelieved the une year limit came from State Statutes. If the
proponent does not comply or get an extension, they can be taken to court.
Freemyer felt that code needed to be looked at from time to time and reviewed
or revised.
Arockiasamy felt the shoreline variances should he reviewed carefully as well
as the height of the buildings.
Harris said she felt the Board should consider having representation at the
Council meetings when such issues come up. She thought the use of signs, brick,
and glass should be reviewed.
Longman noted that glass and masonry eliminated maintenance problems.
Pidcock noted that Touch of Class building will need to add brick or move to
another site within 2 years.
I I-
5
R Anderson noted that non-conforming use issues were the toughest. He would
like to see the Board make up a list of things it would like to see the Council
consider. He added that members should come to the Council meeting on
any matter on which they have strong feelings.
Harvey noted two upcoming issues: Access easements to lakes for owners of
non-lakefront properties and preservation of trees.
R Anderson told the Board to write up its recommendations and submit to
Johnson.
Harvey suggested two more issues: Horsepower of motors on lakes and outside
storage of recreational vehicles.
Freemver noted that the proponent from Cabriole Center had stated that
he did not know that economic hardship was not a"hardship .:
Tenpas said the value of the mortgage is based on the rental value of
the property. The present owner of the building was not the original owner.
As long as those lots were considered one lot, nothing could be developed on
the second lot.
Anderson said tax allocation could be a real problem. It could have
been done a condomintmlassociation as was City West.
Dawson added that the cross-parking easement was required before the final
plat was approved.
Freemver said if there will be lots of "phase developments" in the
future, what can be done to eliminate the problem?
Dawson suggested flexibility when considering criteria related to "when
circumstances are not of property owner's making."
Arockiasamy felt there will be tall buildings in Major Center area--if that
was indeed true, why should they go through the variance process?
Discussion took place on building height, multiple-family units, shorelines,
trees, Wooddale Church steeple.
Pidcock thanked the Board for its comments and work on each decision.
Harris added that the dedication of such as the Board members
makes Eden Prairie great. Nothing is cast in concrete and the code may
need to be re-examined.
6
Johnson affirmed that Staff will do research on the topics that had been
mentioned at this meeting.
R Anderson suggested to Johnson that theater signs be added to that list.
He reminded the other members of the Council that anytime they get a
decision, it should be carefully considered.
Bozonie felt that,regarding the multi-theaters, it seemed that the code
was saying that 9 or 12 screens together was not desirable. If a
developer were to ask, would he be told that there could be a compromise
or that his proposal does not fit the City. If it were granted, it may
promote other developments similar in nature.
Freemyer felt the Board did not have the right to say no-it cannot be done.
Tenpas expressed his appreciation to the Board.
S Anderson felt there was an incredible opportunity in Eden Prairie now
with the Major Center area. He suggested using a minimum floor ratio instead
of a maximum floor ratio.
III. ADJOURNMENT

Background
This is a continued item from the
June 12, 1989, Planning Commission
meeting. Planning Commission
recommended that the plans be
returned to the proponent for
revisions as identified in the June
9, 1989 Staff Report.
AREA LOCATION MAP
Edenvale Crossings 2 June 23, 1989
Site Plan Revisions
1. Modify the site plan according to the recommendations in the traffic study
to improve access and internal circulation.
The site plan has been revised according to recommendations in the July 9,
1989, traffic study. The June 22, 1989, memo from Benshoof and Associates
indicates that the driveway entrance opposite Martin Drive could be 32 feet
wide for one lane in and one land out. This would be a temporary access.
When the property to the north develops, or Highway #212 is constructed, it
will be necessary to construct a right turn lane and widen the driveway to
40 feet.
2. Modify the site plan to depict sidewalk connections from the trail on
Mitchell Road to the buildings on site and indicate the location of an 8
foot wide trail between the bridge and trail along State Highway #5.
The site plan has been revised to provide a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk
connection along the south side of the property. The location of the 8 foot
wide trail from the foot bridge to the trail along Highway #5 will be
determined by the Parks and Recreation Staff and as recommended by the Parks
Commission. Once that trail location is finalized, this project must
provide a sidewalk connection to that trail from the east side of the
building.
3. Modify the landscape plan . to screen parking areas from Mitchell Road and to
provide a better transition to Purgatory Creek from the east.
The landscape plan has been modified to provide better screening from
Mitchell Road. However, the proof of parking area to the west of the future
gas station would eliminate berming and plantings. It is recommended that
the future parking area be relocated on the back side of the building. In
this location there should be a berm constructed to the maximum height
possible at a three to one slope and mass planted with conifer trees.
The landscape plan has been revised to provide a substantial amount of
lowland plantings along the east side of the building to provide a visual
transition to Purgatory Creek.
4. Provide a more definitive sign plan depicting an architecturally defined
area on all buildings with details depicting the size, style, and color of
the lettering. Provide plans for the location of a pylon sign and details
of the shape and height of this sign per City Code.
A sign band area has been defined by building material on the office
building and the strip center. The attached sign criteria indicates a
consistant size for the letters and spacing of the sign areas between the
individual tenants on the building. During the day all lettering will
appear as a clear to white color, since the face of the individual letters
will be a translucent acryllic base. Illumination would be by neon tubing.
At night there would be different colors for each of the tenants.
The sign criteria does not control the lettering style or colors. Staff
would suggest limiting the lettering style and color to three types.
I 4•C)'
Edenvale Crossings 3 June 23, 1989
At this time the proponent does not have plans for a pylon sign advertising
the center. One pylon sign is allowed per Code. If a pylon sign is
constructed in the future, it should be to Code at a 20 foot height and 80
square feet of sign surface. Lettering and materials should be consistent
with the center.
5. Modify the exterior building elevations for the retail strip center and the
two-story office building to be in compliance with the City Code for 77
face brick and glass.
The building elevations have been revised to meet City Code.
6. Submit samples of all exterior building materials for review.
At this time the Staff has not received samples of the exterior building
materials.
Construction Phasing
The Planning Commission requested that the developer prepare a construction phasing
plan to provide access to the Greenstreet restaurant and Kindercare during the
reconstruction of the entrance to Mitchell Road. This has not been completed at
this time.
Staff Recommendations
The Planning Staff would recommend approval of the Comprehensive Guide Plan
Amendment from Neighborhood to Commercial to Community Commercial on 21 acres,
Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment and Planned Unit Development District
Review on 21 acres, Zoning District Amendment within the Community Commercial Zoning
District on 7.5 acres, Site Plan Review on 7.5 acres, and Preliminary Plat of 7.5
acres into one lot, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Reports dated June
23 and June 9, 1989 based on revised plans dated June 21, 1989, and subject to the
following conditions:
1. Prior to review by the City Council proponent shall:
a. Modify the sign plan to limit the number of lettering styles and
colors to three types.
b. Provide a phasing construction plan to provide access to
Greenstreet's and Kindercare when the main entrance of Mitchell Road
is reconstructed.
C .
Revise the landscape plan to provide a berm and conifer trees west
of the future gas station.
d. Submit samples of all exterior building materials for review.
2. Prior to final plat approval proponent shall:
a. Provide detailed storm water run-off, utility and erosion control
plans for review by the City Engineer.
b. Provide detailed storm water run-off and erosion control plans for
review by the Watershed District.

Edenvale Crossings 4 June 23, 1989
3. Prior to building permit issuance, proponent shall:
a. Pay the appropriate Cash Park Fee.
b. Notify the City and Watershed District at least 48 hours in advance
of grading.
c. Provide plans for review by the Fire Marshal.
d. Provide samples of exterior materials for review.
e. Provide the final sign plan with details for review.
f. Provide the final lighting plan with details for review.
4. Concurrent with site construction, construct the 5 foot wide concrete
sidewalk connections between the trail on Mitchell Road and buildings on
this site and a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk connection between the
buildings and and 8 foot wide trail along Purgatory Creek. Construct an 8
foot wide bituminous trail connection between the bridge and the existing
trail along State Highway #5 per recommendations of the Parks Commission.
5. The 1975 Edenvale Recreational PUD is amended to include the Edenvale
Crossings proposal, a future office site east of the Mexican Village
restaurant, and two sites to the north of Edenvale Crossings for convenience
store/gas station and a fast food restaurant.
5. Prior to building permit issuance for any of the future PUD land uses
including the convenience/gas, and fast food on the north parcel and the
office use east of Mexican Village will require a review by the Planning
Commission and City Council in accordance with City Codes and the Site Plan
Review Ordinance.
7. Concept approval is granted for the proposed gas station on the Edenvale
Crossings site. Prior to building permit issuance for this future gas
station proponent will be required to submit plans of the building
architecture and the canopy for review by the Planning Commission and City
Council in accordance with City Codes and the Site Plan Review Ordinance.
The design for the gas station should reflect the same architecture, roof
pitch, and materials as the office building and retail building. The canopy
for the gas station should utilize brick columns and the exterior face be
either wood or shingles. Signs are to be consistent with the office and
retail signs.
8. Dedicate the area depicted as a drainage utility conservancy easement on the
Preliminary Plat to the City free and clear of all liens and incumberances,
and mortgages.
9. Approval of this project is subject to all recommendations of the Benshoof
Traffic Report.
10. When the future land uses to the north of Edenvale Crossings are ready to
develop, it will be required that a right turn lane be installed. This will
require the reconstruction of the driveway, including concrete curb and
gutter.

Background
This site is currently designated as
Neighborhood Commercial on the
Comprehensive Guide Plan. This site
is currently zoned Community Commer-
cial according to the 1975 Edenvale
Family Recreational Center Planned
Unit Development (Pun) (See Attach-
ment A).
Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment
The 1968 Guide Plan identified the
entire 21-acre Edenvale Recreational
PUD site as Highway Service
Commercial. The 1982 Guide Plan
Update redesignated this site to
Neighborhood Commercial. This 21-
acre area should be designated
AREA LOCATION MAP,
Edenvale Crossings 2 June 9, 1989
Community Commercial for the following reasons: (1) existing and proposed uses
would be in excess of 50,000 square feet; (2) the site is adjacent to the
intersection of Highway #5 and Mitchell Road; (3) the proposed uses for the Edenvale
Crossings strip retail center and existing office and restaurant uses serves a much
a larger area than Neighborhood Commercial; and, (4) surrounding land uses are
industrial and open space.
Planned Unit Development Amendment
The 1975 Edenvale Family Recreation Center PUD included a racquet club, skating
rink, bowling alley, movie theatres, and restaurant. Between 1977 and 1981, the
property adjacent to Highway #5 was amended to accommodate the present uses
including McDonald's, Mexican Village, Green Streets, Kindercare, and Pheasant Run
Office Building.
The PUD is being amended to provide a 23,000 square foot strip retail building,
10,000 square foot, 2-story office building, a 1,500 square foot gas station, and
three sites for a fast food restaurant, convenience gas, and office. The change in
use in the PUD is appropriate for the following reasons:
1. Some of the uses initially contemplated in the 1975 POD are now being
provided elsewhere in the community. In the last 5 years, 2 athletic clubs
have been constructed and existing movie theatres in the Eden Prairie Center
expanded. Baker's Square, Ciatti's, and Applebee's restaurants have also
been added to the community.
2. The construction of Highway #212 will remove the McDonald's Restaurant,
Green Streets Restaurant, and the Pheasant Run Office Building. The
amendment to the POD to add office and restaurant provides the opportunity
for uses displaced by #212 construction to be relocated in the same area.
3. The amount of convenience retail within 1-1/2 miles of the site is limited
to 10,000 square feet at the PDQ.
Site Plan
The site plan depicts the construction of 34,900 total square feet of building on
7.5 acres. Building A is a 23,400 square foot strip retail center; Building B is a
2-story, 10,000 square foot office building; and, Building C is a 1,500 square foot
gas/convenience store. The gas station/convenience store would be comparable to the
Amoco gas stations in Eden Prairie which have limited retail goods. This site is
being developed at 0.11 Floor Area Ratio (FAR). Community Commercial zoning
districts would allow up to a 0.20 FAR. The FAR is low since approximately 2 acres
of this site is a recreational easement to the City.
The building and parking areas meet the minimum setback requirements of the
Community Commercial zoning district.
Total parking required for this project would be 199 parking spaces. The site plan
should be amended to add an additional 3 parking spaces.
The site plan depicts 2 property lines. One is an existing property line adjacent
to Mitchell Road; the second property line is shown to allow for the upgrading of
Mitchell Road when #212 is built. Approximately 0.6 acres of land will be taken for
Edenvale Crossings 3 June 9, 1989
freeway development by the State Highway Department.
Access and Circulation
There are short-term and long-term access and circulation plans to serve this
project. Before #212 is constructed, access will be provided to this area as
depicted on Sheet Al entitled "Site Plan". The plan shows how access will be
provided to link 3 development areas together including the McDonald's, Mexican
Village, and Green Streets Restaurant area to the south, the Edenvale Crossings
project in the middle, and future development to the north. The "s" curve entrance
by McDonald's will be changed and parking relocated to a different area on the
Mexican Village site. The main access into the Edenvale Crossings project will be
opposite Martin Drive. A 32-foot wide protected lane is the main access corridor
connecting all 3 areas.
When #212 is constructed, the access into this area will change since there will be
no direct access from #212. The main access to Mexican Village, Kindercare, and the
future office building to the south of Edenvale Crossings will be the protected 32-
foot wide protected lane.
Traffic
The City commissioned Benshoof and Associates to conduct a traffic study for the
proposed project. The traffic study indicates that the amount of traffic to be
generated from this project would be less than the approved PUD and would not affect
the level of service at the intersection of Mitchell Road and Highway #5. The
intersection currently operates at Level of Service D which is the design level
standard for intersections. The traffic study does, however, indicate a number of
site plan changes to improve access and internal circulation. This is noted on
Figure #1 of the traffic study.
Architecture
Architectural plans have been provided for the office building and the strip retail
building. The buildings are residential in character with a pitched roof. The
building elevations depict the use of brick, glass, and wood, as the primary
building materials. Although the plans do not specifically indicate the percentage
of brick and glass required per Code, it is estimated that the project is
approximately 50% brick and glass and 50% wood. The plans should be revised to meet
the City Code requirement for 75% facebrick and glass.
Architectural plans for the gas station are not available at this time. Staff is
concerned about architectural continuity within the project. There needs to be a
strong architectural and material tie to the commercial buildings. The future
design of the gas station should reflect the same architecture, roof pitch, and
exterior materials. The canopy for the gas station should utilize brick columns and
the exterior of the canopy to be constructed of either wood or shingles. Since the
architectural plans are not available, the plans will have to be reviewed by the
Planning Commission and City Council at a later date prior to the issuance of the
building permit in accordance with the provisions of the site plan ordinance.
The canopy proposed across the front of the building should be a minimum of 8 feet
in width and extended across the full length of the building where shown on
Attachment B. This would be consistent with canopies on other shopping centers of a
Edenvale Crossings 4 June 9, 1989
comparable size.
Grading
The site had been previously graded in accordance with the approved 1975 PUD plan.
The site, as it exists today, is relatively level with some lowland vegetation,
mostly scattered poplar. Minor grading work will be done to bring the project to
final grade for the building pads and parking.
Shoreland Ordinance
This site is adjacent to Purgatory Creek and provisions of the Shorel and Management
apply to relative to General Development Waters. The project meets the requirements
of the Shoreland Ordinance.
Purgatory Creek Master Plan
This project is in the Conservancy and Transitional areas of the Purgatory Creek
Master Plan. The building and parking areas are in the Transitional zone. The
Conservancy zone is the drainage utility easement on the plat. This area was
previously designated as a permanent open space easement to the City as part of the
approval of the original industrial zoning of the site prior to the 1975 Edenvale
PUD. The developer's agreement for the Edenvale Recreational Center requires that
this conservancy easement be dedicated to the City.
Landscaping
The amount of landscaping required for this project is based upon a caliper inch
requirement based upon building square footage, screening of parking areas, and
transition to Purgatory Creek. The plan meets the minimum caliper inch requirement.
The plan does not screen parking from Mitchell Road. The parking area sits
approximately 10 feet lower than Mitchell Road. The proposed landscape plan shows
limited use of overstory trees and conifers which will improve the esthetics of the
project; however, none of the plants listed will provide screening of the parking as
required in the ordinance. Because of the change in grade adjacent to Mitchell
Road, it is not possible to construct a berm to screen the parking. Therefore,
screening must rely exclusively on the use of plant materials. Attachment B
indicates where additional conifers and mass shrub plantings should be located to
screen the parking areas.
Since this project encroaches on the Conservancy zone and occurs entirely within the
Transition zone of Purgatory Creek, there should be extensive natural plantings on
the east side of the building to mitigate the adverse visual impact of the project
on the Purgatory Creek corridor. This was a requirement of the 1975 developer's
agreement for the Edenvale Recreational Center. The amount of proposed landscaping
is not adequate enough to mitigate the adverse visual impacts to the creek corridor
and it is recommended that additional lowland mass plantings and overstory trees be
added where shown on Attachment B.
Sunburst Honey Locust proposed for the parking lot area in front of the building do
not survive well in non-protected locations. It is recommended that these plants be
reduced in number. The red pine proposed adjacent to Mitchell Road are not salt
tolerant and is recommended that another type of conifer be substituted.
!";),'
Edenvale Crossings 5 June 9, 1939
Signs
A schematic plan for the location of wall signs has been submitted. Wall signs are
proposed across the front of the building for tenant identification. Considering
that between 8 to 12 tenants may occupy the building, for a project of this size, a
wall covered with unregulated signs in terms of quantity, size, location, color, and
lighting, would not be visually attractive and would contribute to "sign clutter".
Controlled signs can be accomplished by limiting the sign area to an architecturally
defined band. The architectural band could be defined by texture, color, or a
recessed sign area. Examples of architecturally controlled sign bands would be
Shady Oak Center and Lunds Center. Keeping the signs to this architectural area,
designed as part of the overall building appearance should provide for a visually
attractive and uncluttered look. This approach is applicable for the 2-story office
building and the gas station.
All wall signs on the strip center, office building, and gas station should be
individual backlighted letters of a consistent size with limited styles and colors.
The plan does not depict pylon sign locations. One pylon sign is permitted per Code
for this project. Pylon signs must be setback a minimum of 20 feet from the
property line. The signs can be constructed to a maximum height of 20 feet and 80
square feet in sign surface. Prior to review by the City Council, the proponent
must submit a more defined sign program with an architecturally defined sign band
depicting the lettering size, style, and color. The plan must also include the
location of the pylon sign and construction details.
Lighting
A lighting plan has been submitted which is a combination of decorative lighting on
12-foot poles and normal downcast parking lot lighting on 18-foot poles. The
location of lighting and type of lighting standards is acceptable.
Utilities
Sewer and water service are adjacent to this site. Storm water run-off is proposed
to drain through a series of catch basins and storm sewer pipe systems into an
existing sedimentation pond before discharge into Purgatory Creek.
Sidewalks/Trails
There is an existing 8-foot bituminous trail along the east side of Mitchell Road.
There should be connections between this trail and the buildings on-site. As part
of the overall trail system, an 8-foot wide bituminous trail should be constructed
between the bridge and the trail along Highway #5. Locations for trails and
sidewalks are shown on Attachment B.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning Staff would recommend approval of the request for Comprehensive Guide
Plan Change from Neighborhood Commercial to Community Commercial, PUD Concept
Amendment, Planned Unit Development District Review, Zoning District Amendment within the existing Community Commercial zoning district, Site Plan Review, and
Preliminary Plat of 7.5 acres into 1 lot, based on plans dated

RE: Edenvale Crossings Private Drive
Road Reconfiguration
Dear Chris:
We have had opportunity to review the plans that are attached
and are in agreement with the use of our land for the
reconfiguration of the private drive serving as access to
Edenvale Crossings' Mexican Village, McDonald's, Green Streets,
day care and Pheasant Run. This would include the
reconfiguration of the driveway immediately to the north of our
building so that it lined up with the driveway throat to
Edenvale Crossings. We authorize this work provided that it
shall be at no cost to us and that it shall be done in a timely
and efficient manner so as not to impede our business.
We look forward to the Edenvale Crossings Development as a
complement to our neighborhood and are enthusiastic about your
approval of this project.
Sincerely,
Brian Tally, Oesident

RE: EDENVALE CROSSING
Dear Mr. Enger:
VIA FEDERAL EXPRESS
AIRBILL #3704407350
Pursuant to a notice sent to me by Mr. Whitney Peyton of
Coldwell Banker, I was supplied a copy of the proposed site
plan and have reviewed same, as well as discussed the
project with Mr. Peyton. My main concern, as expressed to
Mr. Peyton, is in the proposed schedule of construction of
the improved roads.
Should the access to our site be disturbed during the
business hours, between 6:30 AM and 6:00 PM, this could have
a dramatic impact on our facility's ability to operate, and
could prove a safety hazard to the parents and children who
utilize our facility daily.
It is for this reason that I must request from the board the
reconstruction of the access drive onto Mitchell Road be
limited to non-operating hours, with all work stopped before
our opening, and peak times in the morning. Please ensure,
as well, that the Developer takes adequate safety measures;
marking the construction zone and having people available,
if required, to direct the traffic into our, McDonald's and
Mexican Villages, parking facility so to avoid a possible
accident and/or injury to any citizen.
With these concerns, Kinder-Care has no objections to the
proposed development at this time. Should you have any
questions or require further information, do not hesitate to
call.
Sincerely,
KINDER-CARE LEARNING CENTERS, INC.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael Franzen, City of Eden Prairie
FROM: Mitch Wonson fza9
RE: Addendum to Traffic Analysis of Proposed Eden Vale
Crossings
The purpose of this memorandum is to offer comments on the
revised site plan for Eden Vale Crossings dated 6/9/89. The
revised plan has Incorporated the suggested refinements/
revisions presented on Figure 1 of our memorandum of June 7,
1989. The current plan does indicate, however, a change
from the previous plan regz,rding the design of the Martin
Drive access point. The design shown on the 6/9/89 site
plan is not acceptable in part due to lane widths and the
relationship of the roadway curve to the right turn lane
taper.
There are two viable options for construction of the Martin
Drive access at this time. The first, and preferred option,
is construction of the access drive as shown on the
previously reviewed plan. This design entails a straight
40-foot drive (one lane in/two lanes out) generally
"centered" on the common lot line between this site and the
property to the north. This layout is preferred for various
reasons Including engineering criteria and consistency with
the ultimate design/construction of this access drive. This
design will be required when either T.H. 212/Mitchell Rd. is
constructed or the property to the north is developed.
Option two Is an interim option only and could be located
principally on the Eden Vale Crossings site. The design
would consist of construction of a 32-foot wide drive (one
lane in/one lane out), with an approximate 135-foot center
line radius on the curved portion. It is expected that this
design would operate effectively until T.H. 212 construction
or development of the property to the north. It should be
noted that if this Interim solution is chosen, the permanent
construction will include not only additional pavement/curb
construction north of the interim roadway, but also removal
of pavement/curb on the south side of the Interim access
drive.

FROM: Mitch Wonson
RE: Traffic Analysis of Proposed Eden Vale Crossings
PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
The purpose of this memorandum is to document the analyses
and findings of our traffic study concerning the proposed
Eden Vale Crossings commercial development. The project is
to consist of a 23,400 sq. ft. retail strip center, a 10,000
sq. ft. office, and a gas/convenience service facility of
approximately 1,000 sq. ft. The site is located northeast
of the intersection of TH 5 and Mitchell Road (CSAH 60) on
part of the recreational center component previously
approved with the Eden Vale PUD. Our analysis focused on
three principal Issues:
. a comparison of the trip generation characteristics of
the previously approved recreation center with those
of the current and proposed development of the site
• Impacts of the Eden Vale Crossings development on
traffic operations at the intersection of TH 5/
Mitchell Road prior to TH 212 construction
• assistance in developing a site access and circulation
plan which would operate effectively both prior to and
upon completion of TH 212 improvements
A variety of work tasks have been performed since February
1989 when we became involved in this project. These tasks
have included:
. preparation of PM peak period traffic counts on
Mitchell Road between Martin Drive and TH 5 and at
developments representative of land uses analyzed
. meetings with City staff and the project development
team to resolve site development issues
. meetings with MnDOT District 5 staff to gain
concurrence with proposed improvements
• development of alternative access concepts for both
the interim and post TH 212 scenarios
. preparation and analysis of traffic forecasts for
alternative access concepts
'VP
Mr. Michael Franzen -2- June 7, 1989
TRIP GENERATION COMPARISON
The approved Eden Vale PUD (1975) contained a family
recreation center on this site, as well as on the vacant
property to the north and the developed area to the south.
The area has developed in a manner different from originally
Intended and the Eden Vale Crossings proposal will continue
this trend. To assist in analyzing general impacts on the
roadway system of these land use changes, trip generation
characteristics of the alternative development scenarios
were calculated.
Table 1 presents the various development statistics utilized
In the trip generation comparison." These include the
approved recreation center, existing development within the
boundaries of the recreation center, the current Eden Vale
Crossings proposal, assumptions concerning development on
the vacant property to the north (Eden Gate) which was a
component of the recreation center, and expected full
development of the area after TH 212 condemnation and
construction (which will remove the McDonalds and
Greenstreets restaurants).
Utilizing these development statistics, trip generation of
the various components was calculated based upon trip rates
published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers and
rates developed by Benshoof & Associates, Inc. from traffic
counts at representative land uses. The trip generation
calculations account for both new trips on the roadway
system (trips whose principal purposes are destinations
within the development, such as from home to a movie
theater) and Intercepted/diverted trips (trips already on
the roadway system which are "intercepted" by a land use,
such as stopping for gas on the way home from work). In
general, developments which generate a greater proportion of
new trips to Intercepted/diverted trips have a greater
Impact on the overall roadway system.
Table 2 presents both the trip characteristics of the
various components currently expected within the 'recreation
center" area as well as trip generation comparisons with the
approved development. As can be noted, the approved
development would have been expected to generate a total of
1000 PM peak hour trips in and out of the site.
(approximately 67% being new trips). Existing development
plus Eden Vale Crossings Is expected to generate
approximately 860 PM peak hour trips, of which 557. are new
trips; while full development of the area after TH 212
construction is expected to generate approximately 1060
trips (56% new trips).

Mr. Michael Franzen -5- June 7. 1989
Based upon these comparisons. it Is concluded that traffic
generated by the Eden Vale Crossings proposal Is generally
consistent with traffic volumes expected from the previously
approved recreation center. As such, from a general
transportation perspective, this proposal will not result in
significantly different impacts from those previously
anticipated.
IMPACTS AT INTERSECTION OF TH 5 AND MITCHELL ROAD
To assess the specific implications of the Eden Vale
Crossings proposal at this intersection, traffic forecasts
were prepared to account for conditions prior to completion
of TH 212 improvements (the year 1995 was used, as current
schedules call for construction to commence In 1993). The
forecasts accounted for both background traffic and traffic
associated with this proposal. Background traffic forecasts
were prepared by adjusting existing PM peak hour counts
(February 16. 1989) by a growth factor of two percent per
year. Development traffic forecasts were prepared based on
the trip generation statistics previously presented and
accounted for both new and Intercepted/diverted trips. Trip
distribution for new trips was based upon population
densities within the market area and existing traffic
patterns, while "distribution" of intercepted trips was
based upon current traffic volumes and patterns.
Utilizing these forecasts, levels of service analyses based
upon procedures published in the Highway Capacity Manual,
1985 were performed. The intersection currently operates at
a level of service D. Utilizing the 1995 forecasts (growth
in background traffic plus development traffic), the level
of service remains at 0, while overall Intersection delay
Increases slightly. Based upon this analysis, It is
expected that traffic associated with Eden Vale Crossings
can be accommodated safely and effectively at the TM 5 and
Mitchell Road intersection.
ACCESS AND SITE CIRCULATION PLAN
The development of an effective access/circulation plan for
the site presented particular challenges given the need to
account for both current roadway/site conditions and
conditions after construction of TM 212. TH 212
construction will Include relocation of existing Mitchell
Road to the east and construction of a bridge over TH 212.
Through a series of meetings with City staff, the project
development team, and MnDOT (the agency responsible for
design and reconstruction of revised Mitchell Road as well
as TM 212), the key Issues have been resolved and
concurrence reached on the basic access concepts.
17(0i
Mr. Michael Franzen -6- June 7, 1989
The post TH 212 access plan Is conceptually shown on sheet
A2 of the site plan submission. Full movement access will
be at Martin Drive, where a traffic signal may ultimately be
warranted, with right In only access from Mitchell Road at
approximately the location of the current drive to the
existing development. As noted, this concept is acceptable
to MnDOT. The specific design of the right in only will
need to be refined slightly; however, the overall access
concept Is expected to operate effectively and provide
appropriate access not only to Eden Vale Crossings but also
the adjacent properties to the north and south.
The access plan for conditions prior to TH 212 construction
(sheet Al of the site plan) requires a variety of minor
refinements as shown on Figure I. Conceptually, this access
plan is expected to provide effective access/circulation for
both this site and the adjacent sites. It is also expected
to improve operations at the existing driveway to Mitchell
Road serving the area restaurants, through relocation and
design improvements at this location.
It should be noted that, In conjunction with ultimate
construction of the Eden Vale Crossings proposal, the
official map and preliminary design for the TN 212
Improvements should be revised to reflect the future access
concept developed for this proposal. It Is expected that
this "administrative" Issue can be resolved through a
coordinated effort by the City and MnDOT staffs.
CONCLUSIONS
The principal conclusions of our analysis of the traffic
Impacts of the proposed Eden Vale Crossings development
include:
The trip generation characteristics of this proposal
combined with the existing development are consistent
with the trip generation expected from this area under
the previously approved plan for a recreation center.
Development traffic can be effectively accommodated by
the public roadway system prior to TH 212 construc-
tion.
. The access plan for the area after TH 212 construction
Is expected to operate effectively.
• The interim access/circulation plan requires
modifications, but conceptually is expected to provide
safe, effective traffic operations.

Background
The Comprehensive Guide Plan depicts
a low density residential land use
for this property. Surrounding land
uses consist of the Starrwood
Addition to the north and east zoned
R1-13.5, a single family house to
the south zoned Rural, and a Medium
Density Residential guided site to 741
the west for future Red Rock Ranch
multiple family use. The site is
currently zoned Rural and occupied
by a single family residence owned
by Mr. Guille.
Preliminary Plat
The proposal is to subdivide the
1.47 acre parcel into three single
family lots and road right-of-way at
a density of 2.0 units per acre.
The Guide Plan would allow up to 2.5
units per acre. The average lot
size is 17,700 square feet, with a
minimum lot size of 13,500 square
feet. All lots meet width, depth,
and road frontage requirements. As
part of the Preliminary Plat, the
garage and breezeway of the existing
structure will be relocated to the
south side of the property in order
to satisfy the structure setback
from the lot line. Outlot A of the
Starrwood Addition will be deeded to
this site to provide lot frontage
for Lot 2 to Starrwood Circle.
Guille Addition 2 June 23, 1989
Gradinq
The property sits at a slightly higher elevation than the easterly portion of the
Starrwood subdivision and gradually slopes towards the south. Some significant
evergreen trees occupy the property together with scattered elm and a twelve inch
ash tree. A few smaller over-story trees are also on the property which are not
subject to the Tree Preservation Policy.
Minimal grading is proposed on the property. The majority of the grading will take
place on the northern half, lowering the elevation to meet the street grade of
Starrwood Circle. A portion of the proposed grading encroachs on Lot 10 of the
Starrwood Addition. Currently, Lot 10 is vacant and is owned by the developer of
the Starrwood Addition. He has indicated his permission for this earthwork.
The tree inventory indicates that all significant vegetation will remain. A 6 inch
oak tree and two small pine trees can be relocated. The developer shall be required .
to install snow fencing around the existing trees at the limits of grading prior to
the grading permit issuance.
Utilities
This property can be served with sewer and water with connection to Starrwood Circle
and Twin Lakes Drive. The existing home utilizes City water at this time with
connection to the main along Twin Lakes Drive. Sanitary sewer will be available to
the existing house when the upgrading of Twin Lakes Drive is completed this summer.
As part of the rezoning approval for this property, the developer will be required
to remove the existing septic system and connect to City sewer concurrent with Twin
Lakes Drive construction.
Pedestrian System
As part of the upgrading of Twin Lakes Drive, the City will be installing an 8 ft.
wide bituminous trail along the west side. No sidewalk or trail construction will
be required for this subdivision.
Recommendations
Staff would recommend approval of the Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-13.5
on 1.47 acres and Preliminary Plat of 1.47 acres into 3 single family lots and road
right-of-way subject to plans dated June 20, 1989 and the following:
1. Prior to Final Plat, the proponent shall submit detailed grading, drainage,
and erosion control plans to the City Engineer and Watershed District for
approval.
2. Prior to release of the Final Plat, the proponent shall relocate the garage
and breezeway of the existing structure to meet property line setbacks.
3. Prior to grading permit issuance, the proponent shall erect a snowfence
along the grading limits where significant trees are located.
4. Prior to building permit issuance, the proponent shall pay the Cash Park
Fee.
5. Concurrent with the upgrading of Twin Lakes Drive, the proponent shall
remove the existing septic system and connect up to City sewer.

Site Plan Ordinance Revisions
The Site Plan Review Ordinance was adopted by the City Council on Februar

,

9
.
There are three proposed amendments to the existing site plan ordinance.
1. This is a clarification of Section lA which refers to when a site
plan review would be required.- Previously, all uses in the RM-6.5 •
Zoning District were exempt from the provisions of the Code. The
revision would be to exempt only duplexes, but would still require
review for quads, townhouses, and manor homes.
2. The current site plan ordinance is not however, applicable in the
Rural District. Since public uses are permitted uses in all
districts including the Rural District (i.e. schools, fire stations,
and public utilities, etc.) it was necessary to clarify this section
by referring to public uses requiring a site plan review within a
Rural District.
3. The current site plan ordinance indicates that a site plan approval
is effective for a two year time period. The ordinance did not
allow for time extensions to be granted by the City Council. The
amendment would allow the Council to extend a site plan approval in
2 year increments. This would be similar to the Council's
disgression with regard to the extension of developer's agreements.
This would be applicable primarily to projects that have not
changed. Site plans that change substantially from the approved
plan would be required to be reviewed again by the Planning
Commission and City Council.
The Planning Staff would recommend approval of the revisions as proposed
.
