PUDLIC HEARINGS A. EDEN PRAIRIE CENTER for United Artist Theaters. Request fw: a second free-standing pylon to advertise the United Artist Movies. The sign is proposed at 249 square feet, 22 feet in height, 2'1" wide between faces, and to be located at the Eden Prairie Shopping Center's northeast entrance off Prairie Center Drive. Location: 1076 Eden Prairie Center. (Resolution No. 89-140 - PUD Concept Alt.11.1ment to Overall Eden Prairie Center Planned Unit Development) Continued from June 20, 1939 Larry Jensen, representing the Eden Prairie Center, stated that the request was for a second free-standing pylon sign to be added to identify the new theaters located at the eastern entrance to the Eden Prairie Center. Jensen noted that the Planning Commission had recommended that the size of the second pylon sign he reduced. Jensen believed that the sign was in proportion at the 249 square feet as proposed. Jensen added that a lot of time had gone into the design of the sign and because of the size of the Eden Prairie Center he considered it to be unique to other developments and would not be a precedent-setting issue. Jensen stated that the proponent would accept the 187 square-foot sign in lieu of being granted no sign at all, but would like to maintain the 249 square foot sign if possible. Peterson believed that the Planning Commission had recommended 160 square feet. Jensen replied that the Planning Commission had recommended a 25% reduction, hut did not consider the design and lettering proportions. Jensen added that the Eden Prairie Center had very high standards for image and ,4uality; with the size proposed by the Planning Commission, the sign lettering would only be 10 inches high and would not he readable from a distance. Anderson believed that the proponent should he more creative. Jensen replied that money was not the issue; the p:epeeent did not like matrix signs and thie aleo was not the image the Eden Prairie Center wanted te project. Jensen added that this design was professional. He said Conic:11 0t that the prof,onent dLl not w. r.1 -Lich eut, only to inform the public. Tenpao nAk-!.,3 if the original .31 ,jtt was still to he reduced in size. .7cn,en replied yes. Harris believed that two signs of the same size made sense. Enger stated that the Council should take into monsidelation that the project now had more than one road frontage and with the extension of Prairie Center Drive I t was reasonable to have identification on both road frontages. The Eden Prairie Center had e€-n given specia l treatment in the past because of the size of the property . Enger believed that the size of the property would still place the Center in its own category and, therefore, would not a precedent-setting Issue. Enger stated that an identification problem did exist for the new theaters which were located at the opposite end of the Center from the existing theaters. Peterson asked Jensen if he believed that the advertiement of the amusement portion of the Center had a benefit to the overall Center. Jensen replied that the entertainment portion of the Center was driving the Center'., tines. Jensen 19 Lint the Eden Prairie Center would never he like the newly proposed mega-mall, but he hoped that it could become a large community cent e r where the customers wanted to come to be entertained and to slop. The existing theaters would be improved, a Kid's Club was being investigated as a possibility, in Novembe r the Center planned to launch an entertainment guide, and the Center was also trying to expand and improve the services available at the Eden Prairie Center. Jensen believed that customer service was the only area where the Eden Prairie Center could compete with other centers. He added that the whole focus would he on entertainment and customer service. Cary Quick, representing United Artists, stated that eve r y center had mnvic theaters today. Peterson questioned if it were necessary to identify ever y movie being played. Tenpas believed that because the traffic patterns had changed in the area and due to the location of the 'heaters at opposite end' i of the facility, the request for the addition tign was 7c ,g1cal. He added that he was pleased to see that the original sign was being reduced i n size. Quick 1,elieved that the deE.ign and sign size were '3 ,( I City Council Minute ;uly 11 , 1939 appropt ite Peterson stated that he was i.iipres:.,ed with the improvements being done at the Center and after hearing Jensen 's comments believed that the sign was a viable request. Harris stated that she wanted te see the Tall successful and believed that since the addition the theaters that traffic had increased. Harris added that because the theaters arc at opposite ends of the facility they are difficult to find. The theaters provided entertainment for all J.Pjel -5. Harris he that becaese the sign would be off the road the 249 square-foot size would be appropriate. Tenpas stated that he could see the benefits of having the second sign. Pidcock asked Staff to state its position. Enger replied that the signage package was approved as part of the original DUD. The intent of the signage package was that the Center, restaurants, and major department stores at the major entrances were identified. Enger noted that this was a zoning issue and would require (our votes. There were no folither comments; from the audience. MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Tenpa:-.3 to close the Public Hearing and adopt Resolution No. 39-140 for DUD Concept Amendment per conditions specified by the City Council for two signs to be 249 square feet in size. Ander5on stated that shopping centers today were trying to create a different image and he had been convinced that the sign would support the endeavor to make the entire Center a success.

Pidcock asked if the addition would be 7,00 square feet or 6,0011 :iquare feet. Bergin replied the project had been reduced Le a 6,000 square-foot addition. Anderson asked if the purpose of the chalnlink fence was to hide the cars. Enger replied that the purpose of additional landccaping due to the maintenance Quality of the chaluTink fence and the translucent nature of this type of fence. Enger added that the project had originly been approved for a cedar fence, the proponent had requested a chainlink fence for maintenance reasons . and, therefore, Staff requested additional landscaping. The screning would not hide the cars 100%. Anderson then asked how long the landscaping was insured. Enger replied that the proponent was requested to provide surety bonds for one year after the installation. Anderson believed that a sprinkling system should be considered on the berm.

Report of Cit_y_Ma.nage .r 1. pj ç kspsnM.1 nj i n E d en Pra1.111.t Captain Clark reported that the Police Department : Was City ''aue 1 Minutes 13 July 11, 1989 studying the lon-term plan for filearm restrictions in Eden Prairie and that the City Attorney's office was drafting revisions for a preliminary draft of a new ordinance. Discussion had taken place with both the DNR and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The US Fish and Wildlife C:ervice jioup would like the ability ti have special Innits in the area. Clark etated that from a safety standpoint the City might wish to consider only allowing hunting in the US Fish and Wildlife preserve area. The main concern of the Police Department was that of people hunting in Eden Prairie who were not residents and who were not familiar with boundaries. The Police Department had not received a lot of complaints at this time regarding hunting. The requirement to have 40 acres of land for hunting areas would limit the number of areas left for hunting. MAC had asked that special permits be allowed to hunt the geese at Flying Cloud Airport. Clark stated that the Police Department had received requests for archery ranges. Clark added that bows and arrows were considered dangerous weapons. Tenpas asked if an individual would be able to hunt on his own property. Clark replied that if the ordinance were drafted as written, re s idents would nit, be able to hunt on private property next year. Peterson asked if provisions had been made in the draft of the ordinance for the MAC request for goose hunting at the airport. Clark replied that specific language should be added and specific boundaries set. Anderson believed that hunting should he limited to the river bottoms.

Snowmobile Trails in Neil Prairie Lambert reported that Environmental j,rvices Manager Stu Fox and the Police Department had provided input into the recommendations. Significant changes had been made based on discussions from the previous City Council meeting. No snowmobiling would be allowed in any area of the City except on designated trails and on private property with the permission of the property owner. The same limits would apply to 3-wheel vehicles. Snowmobiling would net be allowed on lakes in designated areas. Bill Kinney, 17651 West 78th Street, stated that he was a member of the local snowmobile club which consisted of 50 members. This organization had existed for over 15 years. The snowmobile trails had dwindled over the years. The snowmobile club had cooperated with the Police Department to help enforce the rules. Kinney outlined a possible alternate trail system proposal to be added to Staff's recommendation. Kinney added that the problems in the past hal beon relata -2d to snewmobiling on the roads and in Staring Lake Park. Peterson asked Lambett if the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Department had revirwed the alternate trail proposed by the snowmobile club. Lambert replied that Staff was concerned about whether a trail could go through a subdivision. Andersen slated that the area west of County Road 4 had a lot of construction currently. Anderson preferred that a trail be as far away from the school as possible. Earl Strickman, 7308 School Road, recommended the trail 90 straight west to Riley Creek. Peterson asked Anderson if he was recommending that the western portion of the trail not be allowed. Anderson replied that he would prefer that the trail go through Red Koch Lake to County Ro.Acl 1. Anderon believed that It was imoortant to have access to the Minnesota River Trail and ::117.inae the other trail. Peterson believed that the snowmobile club's , propoiial would be acceptable if the trail rights could be negotiated. •;0c..11 t;i City Ccalncil ii ut 11 July 11, 1939 :7trickman stated th,t the .yc,ewmobile cIllh had tal%ed with the landowner last fall and that LhIJ Lt ..til would provide connection to the Chanhasen trail sytem. Anderson asked how close the trail would (.ople to the school. Striekman replied that the trail would cross the ikirry Ro ,jers property and go behind the Old City Hall StriLkman added that the trail would be approximately 1/4-mile from the current construction area. MOT ION : Harris moved, seconded by Pid ,,:oc.k to direct huff to draft an ordinance regulating snowmohiling in Eden Prairie as recommended in the Staff memorandum. Peterson asked Lambert to clarify the statement Pacie 3, recommendation #1, which stated that no snowmobiling would he allowed anywhere in Eden Prairie on private property. Lambert replied that this would mean no snowmobiling to the north and east of the lines as defined. Anderson asked if the motion included ATVs and motorcycles. Anderson stated that he was opposed to the use of motorcycles and 3-wheelers on the snowmobile trails. These types of vehicles were hard on the environment. Lambert replied that he did not believe it was possible legally to ban ATVs and motorcycles. Tenpas believed that this motion should he restricted to snowmobiles and that the issues related to motorcycles and ATV's be addressed separately. Joe Hansey, 305 Adams, Edina, Vice-President of the Eden Prairie snowmobile club, stated that there was no snowmobiling allowed in Edina except on one's own property between RAM and 8PM without permiss .,ion or 10PM with the permir.sion of the nei ,jhborL;. Znywmobillog was not harmed, just controlled. Peterson stated the Eden Prairie had an enforcement problem; however, this was not the issue being addressed at this time. Anderson stated that he was concerned about the motorcycles and ATVs on the lakes in the winter. Peterson questioned why all lakes were not restricted and oily desiynated one:, ws ,ie 1.etLict,d. Peterson believed that the motion should include the restriction of all lake:71. Lambert ..7tated that it would he difficult to allow snewmobiles and not ATVs and m,A,,rrycles.

Captain Clark replied that mopeds could legally be driven in the roadway and that a license could be obtained by those under 16 years old. Tenpas added that he was concerned about their use.

MINUTES SPECIAL EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL MEETING THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1989 CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 3:00 PM 7600 Executive Drive COUNCILMEMBERS: CITY COUNCIL STAFF: PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Gary Peterson, Richard Anderson, Jean Harris, Patricia Pidcock and Douglas Tenpas City Manager Carl J. Jullie, Assistant to the City Manager Craig Dawson, Director of Public Works Gene Dietz, Police Chief Keith Wall, Police Captain Jim Clark, Fire Chief Ron Johnson, Assistant City Attorney Judith Dutcher ROLL CALL: All members present. Anderson arrived at 3:12 PM. I. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Budget Presentations Harris commented that she would prefer to have department heads present during the Council's budget deliberations. She believed that it would be easier for them to provide substantive details than the City Manager. Having department heads present would also allow them to participate in a larger team process and to under- stand the policy directions of the Council. She noted a difficulty for the Council to review the budget against priorities established by the Council. Due to the lateness of the year for considering the budget, she asked the Council to identify goals which could be carried into 1990. Harris mentioned that it also would be difficult to evaluate the performance of the City Manager against goals established by the Counci7 because his evaluation occurred relatively late in the year. Tenpas indicated that he had many questions on the budget, due in part to a lack of historical knowledge about the City's programs and practices. He related that he planned to meet with the staff and the City's audit firm during the budget process. Anderson arrived. 2. Lawful Gambling Harris requested that the City of Burnsville ordinance relating to lawful gambling be included with the background information for the Council's November 7, 1989 meeting. -2- 3. Parking Around Pax Christi Church Pidcock thanked Councilmembers for making time in their schedules to attend this special meeting. She said she called the Council together to prevent and solve problems, and to avoid creating them. She reviewed the situation of parking prohibitions on and around the Pax Christi Catholic Community Church. Pidcock expressed concerns about poor public relations caused by the City issuing parking tickets. She believed that the police had several options to pursue besides issuing tickets - e.g., directing traffic or issuing warnings. She said she was not advocating that the law be broken. Pidcock proposed a one-month moratorium on issuing tickets at Pax Christi so that the Police and/or Engineering staffs and the Church could resolve the problem. She recommended that a Councilmember be present during the meetings. She requested that this group present recommendations on what should be done which were in the best interests of the City and took into consideration the interests of the church. Tenpas said his concern with this matter was the resolution process which was followed. He would have preferred that staff have met with the church prior to the second round of issuing tickets. He wanted similar incidents to be handled more quickly in the future. Pidcock noted cases in other cities where parking was allowed around churches on streets which were 30 to 32 feet wide (Homeward Hills Road was 32 feet wide). Dutcher discussed issues of potential liability if a moratorium were put into effect. The City had already determined that there were safety issues existing. To remove enforcement could be construed as negligence. Peterson believed that signs currently in place should not be removed. Pidcock said the City should not harass the church nor interfere with the parishioners' desire to attend church. Wall explained that the City has relied on churches to communicate with their members about the need to comply with parking regulations. He related the need to keep fire lanes and handicap parking spaces open. For the City to provide traffic direction at this church and all others would be difficult, if not impractical. Harris said she could not support a moratorium at this time. She believed the safety issues were very important. Peterson was pleased to see the constructive suggestions proposed by staff and discussed with the Pax Christi Church administration. He believed the church should take responsibility in solving its parking problems. The church should know that City staff is available as a resource, but that it should not look to staff to solve this issue. - 3 - Anderson complimented the staff for the traffic planning work done during the development of Pax Christi and the enforcement of the traffic regulations which had been instituted. He expressed concern about the time needed to be set aside and taken for a special meeting on this issue. He stated he could not support a moratorium on issuing tickets. He was upset that residents had called him about the possibility of invalidating parking tickets issued near other congested facilities in the City. To establish a moratorium or to invalidate tickets could set an undesirable precedent. Peterson believed that the primary responsibility to correct parking problems rested with businesses and institutions, not with City staff. Clark believed that the City had an excellent track record and working relationship with Pax Christi. He related several instances over the past two to three years where staff had worked with the church administration to address traffic and parking issues. Tenpas said that the reason for this meeting resulted from a lack of information. He requested early communication from the City Manager about similar situations of a higher-than-normal issuance of citations. Johnson said that the Fire staff was concerned about safe access along Homeward Hills Road. For the safety of fire truck operators and motorists, he believed that "No Parking" signs should be placed on both sides of Homeward Hills Road from Sunnybrook Road to Pioneer Trail. Johnson stated that the fire lanes at Pax Christi were adequate, but they only meet the minimum width standard. II.

Item F: Harris asked if this action was a permanent transfer of funds or if there would be provisions made to pay back the amount being transferred in the future. Enger replied that the transfer was permanent. Enger added that the funds were needed jr; the Housing Rehabilitation Program, there were sufficient funds left in the CDBG Scattered Site Housing funds to carry the City through the rest of 1989, and that additional requests for funding for the CDBG program would he made each year.

'.))2,10 City Council Minutes 7 November 7, 1989 Request for Site Plan Review within the 1 -2 Zoning District on 2.1 acres with variances to be reviewed by the Board of Appeals for cent.ruction of 2,000 square foot building addition. Location: `louthedst corner of Highway N5 and Fuller Road. (Fesolutien No. 07 -241 - Cite Plan Review) Collie reported that notice of this Public Hearing had been mailed to 12 surrounding property owners and published in the October 25, 19P9 lec.oe of the Eden Prairie News. Clone Borth, representing the proponent, presented the plans to construct a 2,000 square foot addition to the existing facility. The exterior material would match that of the existing structure. The parking provided currently would be adequate. An island would be added to provide screening of the parking area. Variances were needed due to the road shift of Fuller Road for building and parking lot setbacks. Additional shrubs would be planted to screen the parking area. Spruce trees would be used to screen the trash container. The mechanical equipment would be screened by dogwood trees. Enyer reported that the Planning Commission reviewed this item at its October In, 1989 meeting and had recommended approval of the project unanimously, based on the Staff recommendations outlined in the Staff Report dated October 6, 1989. Anderson asked what the rationale had been for approving dogwood trees to screen the mechanical equipment as they would not provide year-round screening. Borth replied that 3 spruce trees were added closer to the road to aid the screening of the mechanical equipment and added that the mechanical units were at a lower elevation than the road. Anderson was concerned that the dogwoods would leave the mechanical unit: 5 exposed for half the year. Borth added that the mechanical units were located at a substantial distance from the roadway and that distance was considered as a natural buffer. Peterson stated that because of the elevations and the distance, he believed that the dogwoods would provide acceptable screening. Anderson believed that if the proponent was expending the money to plant trees it should be done correctly the first time; he did not believe that it would he that much more expensive to plant conifers. There were no further comments from the audience.

Request. fur Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential on 14.5 acres for a future single family development. Location: North of Valley View Road, north and west of Duck Lake Road. (Resolution No. 89-242 - Comprehensive Colde Plan Amendment) JuIlle reported that notice of this Public Nearing had been mailed to owners of 104 surrounding properties and plibliAled in the October 25, 1989 issue of the Eden Prairie News. Bel" 7,mith, representing the proponent, stated that the 14.7 acres for the proposed development were currently zoned Rural. The parcels surrounding the proposed site had a higher intensity of use than that being requested In the Comprehensive Guide Plan Change. The project would have approximately 2.98 units per acre. A loop road system was proposed and all utilities would be available from Valley View Road. Phase I would consist of 15 lots on 4.6 acres with the remainder of the property remaining in the ownership of Mrs. Pavelka. The lots would be approximately 11,800 square feet: with an average width of 81 feet at the setback line. The lots were narrower which would provide for side garages. No col-de-sacs were proposed. The homes would be priced in the lower 9100,000 range to appeal for the starter-home market, which was in demand in Eden Prairie. A transition would be provided to the school and the property to the north. The assessments currently levied against the property would make low- density single family development impractical. The proponent would return to the Planning Commission and City Council for zoning and Preliminary Plat approval within the next few months. Enger reported that the Planning Commission reviewed only a Comprehensive Guide Plan Change at the October 10, 1989 meeting and recommended approval on a 5-0 vote subject to the recommendations out in the Staff Report dated oeteher 6, 1989. Engpr noted that it was rare that the City entertained a proposal for only a Comprehensive Guide Plan Change due to the expediency needed by the developers. Roger stated that the approval of Medium Pele:ity Residential would allow for land uses other than what was being currently proposed; however, the proponent City Conncil Minutes November 7, 1989 wa committed to follow up immrdiately win the reguest for Preliminary Plat approval. Enger reviewed the F.taff rocommendations and noted that a :711 Altornative should he investigated for the removal of the doublo-frontage lots. Enger added that Ctaff would need furthr detail tu make a determination which altern,itive would be best. Anderson a:Aed how residents in thj proposed subdivision would get to the Prairie View park or the school. Enger replied the route would he to Duck Lake Road. Anderson did not believe. this would be the must desh -able route. Foyer replied that it would be possible to explore a trail system within the subdivision to provide access to the park and school. Anderson believed that it was important to investigate this possibility. Pidcock believed that this development would be occupied by young couples win young children, and parents would not want the children crossing Valley View Road. Pidcock concurred that it was important to investigate i,r1 alternate trail system within the subdivision. Pilcoc% aket1 how many lots were platted on the Herzog property. Roger replied 9 to 10 lots wore zoned R1-13.5. Pidcock then asked if proper notices were sent. Enger replied yes. Anderson asked how many R1-9.5 lots were currently in this area of the City. Enger replied that he did not have an exact figure, but believed it to be several hundred. Andersen believed that the northwest sector of the City currently had the greatest number of R1-9.5 lots and did not want: to have a particular section of the City heavily developed with R1-9.5 lots. Peterson asked if the R1-9.5 density issue was discussed at the Planning Commission level. Enger replied that there was very little land left in the northwest section of the City and that arguments could be made for either RI-9.5 or R1-13.5. Roger noted that the proponent was developing the lots based on the original intent of the R1-9.5 lots, which was to provide starter level homes. Enger believed that affect of this subdivision would be negligible in this area. Peterson stated that he was encouraged that the lots were in the 11,P(10 square-foot range. Anderson stated that he was not against this particular development, but believed that the City needed to take a closer look at the amount of R1-9.5 lots within the City. He added that he was concerned about creating a good balance throughout the City. Anderson reque s ted d report from 9t off regarding where exactly the R1-9.5 lots were located. 71ty reoln.11 Minutes 10 November 7, 1989 Pldcock :,toted that this was an infill project. Smith stated that at present sidewalks were located on Valley View Road and Duck Lake Road. Peterson asked if the proponent would also consider an internal trail system to the school and park. Smith replied ye. Andur:iun belived that somewhere amony LA:, 6, 7, und 3 would be a good location for a trail system. Anderson asked why it would be difficult to put in a trail system across the railroad tracks to provide access to the High School. Dietz replied that the problems Wj:1:., that there was no pedestrian protection in this area, which presented a liability issue. Anderson t;tated that there were several other locations in the City which were not protected. Dietz replied that it would not just be High School children using the trail. Dietz added that Round Lake and the Community Center would attract children of all ages. Tenpas believed that a trail would allow for more pedestrian traffic and would put the City at greater risk For liability.

REPORTS OF °REP:1771, BOARDS & CO!-!MISS.7ONO A. Rea9rts of Counc ers 1. Developeter's Forum Pidcock asked if the Southwest Area ":7tItcly had been forwarded to the Developers Forum as noted in the Minutes. Enger replied that the Developers Forum had indicated that it did not believe that the Study wenl,l be if interest to the entire development community and, therefore, Staff had not forwarded a copy at this time. 2. Compliment - Plannipg_Department Pidcock stated that she had received a compliment from one of the developers commending the Planning Department. 3. Tr.eeeReilliafeAlent PI:211U Anderson stated that he was concerned about the Tree Replacement Policy an it Walt currently written because it did not include softwood trees such as the cottonwood tree, which Anderson believed should be included in the liet of significant trees. Anderson believed that the policy should be revised. Lambert replied that a 60-foot tree of any species should 1W considered significant; however, he queL;tioned whet her the policy should be totally reworked and suggested that the policy be reworded to include any softwood tree In excess of 20 inches in diameter. Enger believed that the current policy was very reasonable. He concurred that ironwood trees, softwood trees, and even 11" oak trees were significant. He added that the current policy did not address well the consideration of tree mass; however, the policy had been euccessful for over 50 developments. Enyer etated that the policy took into consideration that some tree loss would occur on any development. Harris asked the sta ,,:us of the matter to make the policy an ordinance. Jul lie replied that the ordinance had been drafted and would he before the City Cooncil within the next few months. Tenpas asked why the City did not require trees on the boulevards. Enger replied that this wan a good point, hut suggested a requirement that 1 to 2 trees be placed on every lot. Enyer added that this would help address the concerns of the developers of the wooded areas to i-xtt.nd tIt requirements for everyone. Peterson concurred that consideration should be given to City Council Minutes 14 November 7, 1939 both Councllmember Anderson.:. Tenpas'e concerns. Fnger replied that Staff had worked with the Developers From originally and would like to return to the Developers Forum with these now idea:„. Fnger noted that the policy was being challenged by some uf the developers. Foyer stated that the ordinance would simply put the policy into a formal language. Julie stated that the problem currently being voiced by the developers was the bonding requirements. The policy had worked well in the past; however, now the Developers Forum had changed its position on some issues. Jullie recommended that any changes be reviewed by the Developers Forum. Peterson asked Jullie if he was saying that the timing was not appropriate to make changes, to even just request the addition of 1 tree per lot. Foyer replied that he did not believe there would be a problem adding one tree per lot in unwooded areas. Harris stated that this policy had been in the modification process for a long time and believed that it should be drafted into an ordinance form, which could always be changed if necessary. Anderson stated that a tremendous amount of trees had been lost already and believed that it was important to protect the natural environment. Pidcock asked why Staff was hesitant to proceed with the drafting of an ordinanco while the issue was being negotiated with the developers. Julliu replied that Staff did not want to be eoutinually ehallenged even when it was drafted into an ordinance form. Jullie added that it was important to have a form acceptable to the developers. Pauly added that it was important not to create any type of situation while in negotiations with the developers related to the Tree Replacement Policy. B. Report of City Manager 1. General—FRTO Financial Report, ird near her 1989 Peterson complimented Staff on a well written report. Harris believed that this was a good lead in for the next budget meeting. Tenpas concurred that this should be tied into the budget discussions. Tonpas asked what the beginning General Fund balance was. Jullie replied $1,300,000. Tenpas then asked if the settlement with Rogers Cable wan included in this figure. Jullie replied that the Rogers settlement City Council Minutes 15 Novell.her 7, 1739 had not been transferred into the General Fund at this time; however, it had been inveL.ted. Tenpas questioned that amount in the Reserve Account. Jolt it replied that this should have been $465,000 to include balary adjustments. Tenpas noted Llt a anticipated in the Building Permit revenues. Jollie replied that a $400,000 to $500,000 shortfall was anticipated; however, it could be as high as $700,000. Harris asked what the General Fund balance was expected to he at the end of the year. Jullie replied if the Ro ,jet:, settlement was transferred the General Fund would be approximately $1,700,000. Tenpas asked if the General Fund amount affected the City's bond rating. Director of Finance John Franc replied that the bonding companies looked at the movement of the funds, not the balance. Franc added that an upward movement was considered positively. Eden Prairie had not been heavily dependent on State aid, which was looked upon favorably. Tenpas then asked if there would be any significance to pay off the bonds early. Frane replied that the bonding companies know that the City would always be in the market for additional bonds in the future. 2. Bo:LJ:e Property Prolosal MOMI 0.7.1, Pidcock moved, :7,econded by ilarri5 to direct Staff to begin negotiations for the Boyce parcel and return to the City Council with a report. Motion carried unanimously. C. Report of City Attornty 1. PrI)Posed Lawful Gamhling PolLa Harris asked what process of appeal was available if the City denied a request for a license. Pauly replied that this denial would effectively veto the State's permit and that an appeal process was not available at this time. Pauly added that the party requesting the license conld, however, take court action against the City. Harris then questioned the eoction on eligible organizations and tho association to Eden Prairie for St. Mary's Romanian Orthodox Church. Pauly replied that he was not aware of an affiliation to Eden Prairie for this particular church. Harris questioned if requiring such an affiliation was legal. Pauly replied that it would not be appropriate at this time to change the rules and organizations could he grand fathered in for a period of 1 year. Harris aeked if the City could control the use of 10% of the net proceeds. Pauly replied that the City could require that 107 of the proceeds he designated; however, the City would not 7ity ':ii Minutes l November 7, 1989 control or admioistr Ihe 1 ...i Ho woot:y. Harris stated that she would pfefe, 7. .)"- Toss ompared to the it recommended in the seport hecanee of the need for funds for the cuts being made In the human :-Iervices programs. Pauly noted that the City needed to provide justification for the tax. Tenpas stated that he was concerned about taxing on the gross receipts. Dawson replied that the State recommended that the return for an organization he l'etween 4 & 5 %. Dawson added that the state tax had the effect of discouraging charitable gambling, which had also het!n interpreted as a means of eliminating the competition for the lottery. Tenpas questioned how any organization would make enough profits after all the taxes had Leen taken out of the proceeds. Dawson stated that the Committee had recommended the limit of it for City taxes. Peterson questioned what constituted a private club. Pauly replied a private club would be an club which was not open to the general public. Peterson commented that the American Legion Club was open to the public for eating and gambling, but not for drinking. Peterson then questioned the if the reference to being able to operate only at one location in Eden Prairie meant, one location at one time. Pauly replied yes. Tenpas believed that there was a fine line between the lottery and pulltabs, and stated further that gambling should not be permitted in public restaurants or bars. Peterson stated that the City needed to be careful not to discriminate between public and private clubs. Anderson stated that other communities made a distinction betwnen fraternal and other private clubs. Panly added that another distinction which could be made would be between profit and nonprofit orjanizations. Pauly added that tIte State Statutes would be consistent with locations in nonprofit organizations. Peterson asked if minors were permitted to play bingo. Pauly replied that the restriction of minors was part of the State Laws, which were complicated and not restated in the City's Ordinance. Pauly asked if the City Council lid or did not wish to ,Tilatiow; on those ev ,-nt.:7 which did not require a regular license. It was the consensus of the Council not to impoe..: regniaLion. Peterson asked why the Burnsville Ordinance had a limit on the lease payment of $10. Pauly replied that this was o_.ferrea to in the State regulations. City Coon ii Minutes 17 November 7, 1939 Harrli; Tenpas whet dlf7f,7,nce perceived to he between the lottery and pullt..i. Tenpas replied that he did not want to see gambling reinforced everywhere one wanted to go. The lottery woo1,1 be .1wlilable in gas station.,:,, grocery stores, etc; he did not 1,elieve that gambling needed to reinforced in restauranb; and bars. Harris stated that she favored the pulltahs over the lottery because a larger portion of the money earned f r o m pulltahs would remain in the community. D. aport of Dir ,..ctor 131.23ijaniag. E.

Sip,seveiy 7(2177 : --) Ed Frartin President Planning Commission Minutes 9 September 25, 1989 C. SANDY POINT, by Sandy Pointe Partnership. Request for Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-22 on 6.0 acres, Preliminary Plat of 11.2 acres into 13 single family lots, two outlots, and road right-of-way. Location: East and west of Corral Lane, south of Red Rock Lake. Bob Smith, representing the proponent, stated that Lot 27 on the west side of Corral Lane was presently zoned R1-22 and the parcel to the east of Corral Lane was zoned Rural. Lot 28 was a recreational lot for the Eden Hills subdivision. Lot 27 was exempt from tile covenants of the Eden Hills subdivision. The proponent had investigated three possible road alignments; 1) leaving Corral Lane in its present location to allow the development of 6 lots on the west side, 1 lot on the peninsula, and 6 lots on a cul-de-sac, 2) Corral Lane would be moved to the western border of the property allowing the development of 7 lakeshore lots, or 3) the connection between Corral Lane and Mitchell Road as per the Staff recommendation. The project was design for 13 lots at 1.1 units per acre. The lot sizes and widths would be equivalent to that of the Eden Hills development. Two of the lakeshore lots would not meet the 70-foot building pad sizes, the plan proposed 50-foot pads. Trees would not be removed along the lakeshore; however, some trees in the southern portion of the parcel would be removed. Sandstad asked Smith if the two lots on the west side of the road would have any recreational space dua to the steep grade for the rear yards. Smith replied that there would be an opportunity for retaining walls and terracing to be used on these lots. Sandstad then asked if the slope would be 3-to-1. Smith replied yes and added that there was a swail which discharged the water around the site. Franzen reported that transition to the existing Eden Hills subdivision was a key issue. Staff recommended the proponent reduce the project by 1 lot by combining lots 1 and 2. The plans should be revised to eliminate the connection from Corral Lane to Sandy Point Road or design Corral Lane as a one-way street with a median at Sandy Pointe Road. Final Plat approval and 2nd Reading should not occur until the contract for Mitchell Lake has been awarded. Anderson asked if Staff was concerned about the 50-foot building pads along the lakeshore. Franzen believed that based on the dimensions of the two lots the proponent would probably construct a longer and narrower home on these sites. Anderson then asked if decks could be built on the lots. Franzen replied that the print only showed a possible footprint; however, decks would not be allowed because of the easement on the lots. Anderson asked if Planning Commission Minutes 10 September 25, 1989 any sidewalk or trail system was proposed. Smith replied that a sidewalk was proposed along the east side of Corral Lane and 8-foot bituminous trail along Mitchell Road. Ed Martin, 15810 Cedar Ridge Road, President of the Eden Hills Homeowners' Association, stated that the neighbors were not opposed to the development of the neighborhood; however, they would request the rejection of the plan as proposed. Martin believed the density of the project was too high and questioned if the plan as designed was compatible with the adjacent lots. Lots 1, 2, and 3 were barely 22,000 square feet and abutted lots which were over one acre. The position of lots 1 and 2 would require an 8-foot cut in grade, which would create a hardship for the lots in the Eden Hills subdivision. The alignment of Corral Lane should remain as platted currently. Corral Lane currently acts as a natural barrier for the lake. Martin believed that Eden Prairie needed more green space and proposed that only 2-to-3 homes be developed in Lot 27. The neighbors would prefer that access to the new development be from Mitchell Road and that the cul-de-sac remain closed. Martin believed that opening the cul-de- sac would encourage short-cuts from Mitchell Road to County Road #4. Alan Jarman, 15710 Corral Lane, stated that the neighborhood of Eden Hills was a quite neighborhood and believed that the new development would increase the traffic. Jarman was concerned for the safety of the children in the neighborhood with the traffic increase. Jarman did not believe that a directional island would help decrease the traffic. Mike Junck, 15702 Cedar Ridge Road, stated that he lived adjacent to Lot 27 and concurred with the recommendation to by Martin to limit the development to only 2-to-3 homes on Lot 27. Junck was concerned that his lakeview would be taken away. Floyd Hagen, 15802 Cedar Ridge Road, stated that the recreational area was protected by covenants and had always been considered as part of the neighborhood. Hagen was concerned about the density of the project and the impact of 2-to-3 story homes in these locations. Hagen was also concerned about the increase in traffic. Hagen questioned how the use of the beach area could continue to be restricted. Hagen was concerned that the Homeowners' Association members would now be cutoff from easy access to the recreational lot. David Newman, 6959 Tartan Lane, believed that this project would impact his property, even though the development was not adjacent to his property. Newman questioned the impact a zoning change would have on the need for Planning Commission Minutes 11 September 25, 1989 additional City services, the impact on property taxes, the impact on the current inventory of existing homes, and the affect on current sales and pricing of existing homes in the area. Newman believed that this item should be tabled until answers to these questions could be obtained. Virginia Gartner, 15701 Cedar Ridge Road, stated that Lot 27 was actually flat and sloped to the lake. Gartner believed that the plans which showed a steep slope on the two lots to the west of Corral Lane were deceptive. Gartner believed that the density of the project was too high. Smith believed that the lot values and home values would provide a transition. The value of the homes would be approximately $300,000. Smith stated that the beach would remain a private beach. Smith noted that Lot 27 was currently zoned for R1-22 development. The two lots to the west of Corral Lane could have retaining walls built as the area above this was the flat area referred to by Mrs. Gartner. Sandstad stated that he would not be in favor of the cul- de-sac without a connection between Corral Drive and Mitchell Road. Martin stated that the neighbors were willing to drive around to County Road 114 to gain access to the recreational area and preferred the closed cul-de-sac. Hallett stated that he believed that the project was too crowded; however, he did not believe that only 2 or 3 lots was reasonable. Hallett believed that the proponent should be more sensitive to the concerns of the existing neighbors. Bye stated that the road as proposed by the proponent would act as a transition. Anderson stated that the neighbors seemed to be more concerned about the visual Impact of the project, rather than transition. Hallett did not believe that legitimate reasons for denial of the project had been presented. Hallett asked if the lots on the west side of Corral Lane could be kept at the present R1-22 zoning. Franzen replied yes. Sandstad believed that if the plan was reduced by 1 lot as recommended it would be more acceptable. Bye asked what help could be given to protect the view of the existing homes. Franzen replied that if the covenant restricted the development of only 1-story homes it would Planning Commission Minutes 12 September 25, 1989 be the responsibility of the property owne r t o enforce the covenant. Smith replied that the existing h o m e s w e r e 6 0 feet higher than the proposed homes and th a t a 2 - s t o r y home would be approximately 20 feet in hei g h t , w h i c h should not restrict the view of the lake. J u n c k s t a t e d that he was concerned about the view being b l o c k e d b y t h e proposed location of the corner home on th e p e n i n s u l a . Martin stated that he would like to readdre s s s o m e o f t h e issues raised tonight with the Association m e m b e r s . Smith noted that the layout as proposed met a l l ordinances. Anderson stated that he would like to see c o n t i n u e d cooperation between the neighborhood and th e p r o p o n e n t t o work out a reasonable solution. Smith stat e d t h a t t w o neighborhood meetings had already been con d u c t e d . S m i t h further recommended that the proposal be co n s i d e r e d a s presented with the removal of 1 lot. Bye stated that she would like to have Publ i c S a f e t y review the road alignment issues. Smith st a t e d t h a t Public Safety had referred the matter bac k t o P l a n n i n g Staff. Martin stated that the neighborhood wanted t o l i v e w i t h the 1300 foot cul-de-sac and did not under s t a n d t h e n e e d to change this. Jim Zachman, the developer, stated that he d i d n o t w a n t t o make the connection to Mitchell Road and h a d p r o p o s e d t h e one-way as an alternative.

Sandy Pointe Refer to memo dated September 29, 1989 from Barb Cross, Landscape Architect and staff report dated September 22, 1989. Bob Smith of Krueger & Associates was present at the meeting to review the proposal. Smith introduced Jim Zachman of Sandy Pointe Partnership. The site is located south of Red Rock Lake, east and west of Corral Lane. The proposed development is for 13 lots on 11.2 acres. Several neighbors have expressed concern about the development. They feel that Corral Lane should end in a cul-de-sac and the developer is reducing the number of lots by one because of their concern for a better transition. City staff has suggested a sidewalk on the west side of Sandy Pointe and a trail connecting to Corral Lane. 21 caliper inches of trees will be replaced. Cross reported that all lots meet the shoreland management ordinance. Total tree loss is 16.5% and they will replaced per the tree replacement ordinance. A sidewalk will be constructed on the west side of Sandy Pointe Road and staff is also recommending a trail connection in the right-of-way to reach the outlot and proceed to Co. Rd. 4. She said it is her understanding that the two developments will share a common association. Smith added that the two developments in this area will be independent associations. Zachman commented that at the present time, the residents have use of the entire beach and, hopefully, this will continue. Cross added that the original homeowner's association had proposed that the City purchase the parkland and lakeshore all the way to the City park in Boulder Pointe. Richard asked why the City wasn't interested. Lambert said it would have been too expensive to acquire this land. -- - APPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RE S O U R C E S C O M M .

Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-22 on 6.0 acres. 2. Preliminary Plat of 11.2 acres into 13 single family lots , 2 outlots, and road right-of-way. Background This 11.2 acre site is currently guided Low Density Residential with approximately 6.0 acres zoned R1-22. Surrounding properties on all sides are also guided Low Density Residential. Specific land uses in this area include large lots, zoned Rural to the south; Boulder Pointe, zoned Rural to the east; and the Eden Hills 1st Addition, zoned R1-22 to the west. Red Rock Lake abuts this property on the north and east sides. The proponent is currently requesting a Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-22 on approximately 6.0 acres to allow for the construction of 13 single family lots. Site Plan/Preliminary Plat The site plan depicts the sub- division of the 11.2 acre property into 13 single family lots, 2 outlots, and road right-of-way. A density of 1.16 units per acre is proposed. Lot sizes within the subdivision range from a minimum of 22,000 square feet to a maximum of Sandy Pointe 2 September 22, 1989 74,000 square feet. The average lot size is 30,265 square fe e t . A l l o f t h e l o t s meet the minimum requirements of the R1-22 Zoning District. Outlot A, a remnant parcel containing approximately 315 square f e e t t o t h e s o u t h o f the proposed Mitchell Road extension, should be combined with t h e a d j a c e n t p r o p e r t y at time of development. Outlot B, containing approximately 20,2 0 0 s q u a r e f e e t i s t o be placed under common own2rship which would allow the homeown e r s w i t h i n t h e S a n d y Pointe subdivision access to Red Rock Lake. Access Access to the subdivision will be provided by the future extensi o n o f M i t c h e l l R o a d to County Road fl along the south boundary of this property.

I t i s t h e C i t y ' s intention to begin construction in the spring of 1990. The exten s i o n o f t w o c u l - d e - sacs from Mitchell Road will service the actual project site. With the review of the Red Rock Ranch proposal in 1982 - 1984, n u m e r o u s d i s c u s s i o n s were held concerning the Corral Lane connection to Mitchel l R o a d w i t h u l t i m a t e development. In a report dated January 6, 1983, Staff r e c o m m e n d e d t h a t t h e connection from this development (Red Rock Ranch) to Corral L a n e c o u l d b e m a d e a s one of the alternatives illustrated (see Attachment A). S p e c i f i c a l l y , S t a f f recommended that the connection should be made in the fu t u r e f o r t h e i n t e r - connection of neighborhoods and to provide two ways out o f C o r r a l L a n e . T h e connection should not be made in such a way as to encourage the s h o r t c u t t i n g o f t h e County Road #1 and County Road #4 intersection. The road co n n e c t i o n s h a l l n o t b e made until the extension of sewer into the Corral Lane area a n d r e c o n s t r u c t i o n o f the roads has taken place." This recommendation was included i n t h e t h e M a r c h 2 7 , 1984 Developer's Agreement between Robert H. Mason, Inc. a n d t h e C i t y o f E d e n Prairie. The Eden Hills 1st Addition neighborhood remains extre m e l y c o n c e r n e d a b o u t the connection from Corral Lane to Mitchell Road and the pos s i b i l i t y f o r s h o r t - cutting traffic which Staff agrees may occur. In regards to t h i s i s s u e , t h e r e a r e two alternatives for the Planning Commission to consider: 1. The Planning Commission may take into consideration neighborho o d a n d Staff concerns regarding the short-cutting of traffic and reco m m e n d that Corral Lane end in a cul-de-sac on Lot 26, Eden Hill s 1 s t Addition. This would allow for a closed neighborhood, however w o u l d result in Corral Lane ending in a 1,300 foot cul-de-sac while C e d a r Ridge Road would continue to be a 1,600 foot long cul-de-sac. 2. The second alternative for the Planning Commission to consider w o u l d be to require the connection made as shown on the plans when Co r r a l Lane and Cedar Ridge Road are upgraded. The design for t h e connection of Corral Lane would be one-way street with a medi a n i n Sandy Pointe Road which would allow only a right in, right out f r o m that subdivision. This would deter the traffic from short-cut t i n g the neighborhood from Mitchell Road to County Road #4 hut provid e a n additional way out of the neighborhood for residents and emerg e n c y vehicles. 3. The third alternative would be to leave Corral Lane as i t i s currently platted and not provide a connection to Mitchell Road. 9'14 Sandy Pointe 3 September 22, 1989 The proponent is requesting that the ex i s t i n g C o r r a l L a n e w i t h i n t h e p r o p e r t y b e vacated and realigned as indicated on th e p l a n s .

T h e Parks, Recreation and Natural Resou r c e s D e p a r t m e n t s t a f f h a s t h e following recommendations concerning t h e p e d e s t r i a n s y s t e m : 1. A 5' concrete sidewalk should be installed along the west side of Sandy Pointe Road. This will provide residents access to Outlot A, which will be the lake access owned by the Home- owner's Association. This sidewalk will also connect to the trail system along Mitchell Road providing easy access to the neighborhood park as well as other areas within the City. 2. If this plan is approved with a through street, staff recommends a 5' concrete sidewalk be installed on the south side of Corral Lane when it is improved in the future. 3. If this plan is approved with a cul-de-sac, an 8' bituminous trail should be installed through the platted right-of-way to allow pedestrians and bicycle connections between the neighborhoods. The Eden Hills Homeowner's Association owns a small park and a 20' strip of land adjoining the lake. Outlot A of this project directly adjoins Eden Hills park and will also be owned by the neighbor-hood association. The intent is to provide lakeside recreation to the residents within the project. As far as staff knows, relations between these Homeowner's Association's are friendly and facilities can be shared. Questions do arise if this arrangement should ever change in the future. The pedestrian connections mentioned in this report are the only way for Eden Hills residents to have access to their park and it is the only way Sandy Pointe residents can get to County Road 4 without going all the way along Mitchell Road to County Road 1 and then out to County Road 4. Staff recommends approval based on the Planning Staff Report and this supplemental report. BPC:mdd 4/314014 1N09*4 1 1 1 1 1 1 nn I '411 _ .sos• I WE13a .4 .721 I I !I . • s• • v 4irto h of Ch.

Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment on 72.9 acres. 2. Planned Unit Development District Review on 15 acres with waivers. 3. Zoning District Amendment within the 1-2 Zoning District on 4 acres. 4. Preliminary Plat of 15 acres into 1 lot. 5. Site Plan Review. TO: FROM: THRU: DATE: PROJECT: APPLICANT/ FEE OWNER: LOCATION: REQUEST: Background This site is the existing location of the Minnesota Vikings Training Facility which was approved in 1980. The current proposal is to expand the existing facility to include an additional training/office area, a new cafeteria/kitchen for player meals, and a permanently enclosed full practice field. The existing practice bubble is proposed to be removed as part of this construct- ion. Site Plan/Preliminary Plat The Preliminary Plat depicts a combination of two lots, owned by the Minnesota Vikings at the intersection of Viking Drive and Washington Avenue, into one lot containing 15.038 acres. Lot 2, containing approximately 11 acres, =2, AREA LOCATION MAP n• SigaIN I .• • Minnesota Vikings 2 October 20, 1989 is the location of the existing training facility, while Lot 1, containing approximately 4.038 acres, would be the location of the new building. Lot 1 is currently zoned Industrial which was the original zoning on the property in 1969. Lot 2 was zoned Office in 1980. The proposed site plan depicts a building expansion of 103,380 square feet which includes an enclosed practice facility containing 91,480 square feet, a kitchen/cafeteria containing 6,550 square feet, and office/storage areas containing 5,350 square feet. The building is 62 feet in height and measures approximately 225 feet by 400 feet. The existing building contains 38,242 square feet. Based upon a total lot size of 15.038 acres, a Base Area Ratio of 18.21 and Floor Area Ratio of 21.6% has been calculated. The buildings and parking areas meet the minimum requirements of the Office and 1-2 Zoning Districts. However, because the building exceeds the Code allowance for height, a waiver will be required. A total of 104 parking stalls are provided which has been indicated to be sufficient for the Vikings parking area. A driveway is proposed on Washington Avenue to provide vehicular access into the new enclosed training facility. Grading/Utilities Existing elevations on this site range from a high point of 900 within the center of the site to a low point of 830 adjacent to the north property line and Nine Mile Creek. The site slopes in all directions from the 900 contour elevation. The proposed building has a finished floor elevation of 856 and would require a cut of approximately 44 feet from the top of the hill and fill amounting to approximately 15 feet in the northeast corner of the site. In order to reduce the amount of grading, the building has been tucked into the side of the hill. The finished grade on the west side of the buildings ranges from 896 to 850. By setting the building into the hill, the height of the structure is reduced and approximately 824 caliper inches of significant trees are saved. A 1:1 slope is proposed on the east side of the building adjacent Washington Avenue which is necessary to save a substantial stand of trees which will help provide screening of the east building elevation. The maximum height of the slope is 12 feet and will be stabilized by embankment reinforcement. The height of the structure and the 1:1 slope could be reduced by further lowering the finished floor elevation of the proposed building. As part of the grading, a total of 502 caliper inches of significant trees will be removed from this site. Based upon a total of 1,326 caliper inches of significant trees on-site, tree replacement totaling 253 caliper inches is required. All utilities are available to this site from connections made to existing services. Landscaping Based upon a building size of 103,380 square feet and a building height of 62 feet, a total of 900 caliper inches are required per City Code. A single story building would require, in addition to tree replacement, a total of 576 caliper inches. The landscape plan depicts a total of 540 caliper inches of landscape material. In addition, there are approximately 276 caliper inches of existing plant material on site which is 156 caliper inches over the requirements for the existing building. Utilizing the existing overage, the landscape plan would exceed the requirements for Minnesota Vikings 3 October 20, 1989 a single story building by 120 caliper inches but is 204 caliper i n c h e s l e s s t h a n the City Code requirements. Because of the building being tucked i n t o t h e h i l l s i d e , the western building elevation is primarily screened by being unde r g r o u n d . T h e e a s t building elevation would be screened by a softwood mass of trees a l o n g W a s h i n g t o n Avenue which is approximately 40 feet in depth and by other plan t m a t e r i a l o n t h e north and south elevations. This plant material includes a tota l o f 7 8 , 1 4 f o o t evergreens. No additional room exists on-site to install the rema i n i n g 2 0 4 c a l i p e r inches without the removal of existing trees. A waiver is re q u i r e d f r o m t h e Landscape Ordinance to allow for less than 900 caliper inches. An i r r i g a t i o n s y s t e m shall be installed to help ensure the survival of the proposed plan t m a t e r i a l . As indicated on the plan, all trees to be preserved will be field t a g g e d a n d s n o w fenced prior to grading permit issuance. Any trees lost outsi d e t h e p r o p o s e d construction limits must be replaced on an area inch per area inch b a s i s . Architecture The proposed building expansion includes an enclosed practice faci l i t y c o n t a i n i n g 91,480 square feet and an extension of the existing buildin g t o i n c l u d e a kitchen/cafeteria area and additional office/storage areas. Exteri o r m a t e r i a l s o f the kitchen/office facilities are proposed to match the existing bu i l d i n g w h i l e t h e enclosed practice facility would be constructed of metal panel. P r o p o s e d c o l o r f o r the practice facility is white with a gray accent band. The en c l o s e d p r a c t i c e facility is rectangular in shape and measures approximately 225 X 4 0 0 ' i n l e n g t h and is 62 feet in height. City Code states that the building shal l n o t e x c e e d 4 0 feet in height and that metal panel shall not comprise more than 2 5 % o f a b u i l d i n g ' s exterior finish. Based upon a wall surface area of 77,500 squ a r e f e e t , 2 0 % , o r 15,500 square feet, is below grade and 408 square feet i s g l a s s , l e a v i n g approximately 61,600 square feet as metal panel, or 80% of the b u i l d i n g s u r f a c e . Alternatives for the development of this building include: 1. A waiver to allow for metal panel on the entire building. 2. To construct the building with precast panels matching the existing b u i l d i n g up to a minimum of 20 feet in height and finish with metal pan e l . T h i s would reduce the amount of waiver from approximately 80% to appro x i m a t e l y 60%. 3. Increase the amount of glass in the structure. This would also h e l p t o reduce the percent of waiver while added interest to the build i n g s u c h a s the window on the south elevation. The glass does not h a v e t o b e translucent. 4. Comply with City Code which would allow 25% metal panel. In considering the waiver for the exterior building materia l s , t h e P l a n n i n g Commission may consider the following as mitigation: Minnesota Vikings 4 October 20, 1989 1. That 20% of the building is below grade; 2. That the natural features along the west and e a s t e l e v a t i o n s h e l p b l o c k view; 3. That metal is common and unique to the indoor p r a c t i c e f a c i l i t i e s b e c a u s e o f the height and size required. The maximum Code allowance for building height i s 4 0 f e e t . B e c a u s e t h e b u i l d i n g i s tucked into the side of the hill, the building r a n g e s i n h e i g h t f r o m 6 2 f e e t o n t h e north and east elevations to 49 feet along the s o u t h b u i l d i n g e l e v a t i o n a n d f r o m 2 2 feet to 62 feet along the west building elevat i o n . T h e a c t u a l v a r i a n c e f r o m C i t y Code will range from 0 feet in height to 22 f e e t . T h e m a j o r i t y o f t h e b u i l d i n g , however, will require a 22 feet variance. The P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n m a y c o n s i d e r a s mitigation for building height: 1. The relationship to other buildings in the are a w h i c h i n c l u d e s t h e o f f i c e tower located directly to the east; 2. The location near 1-494; 3. The building is tucked into the hill to reduce i m p a c t o n t h e s o u t h a n d e a s t building elevations; 4. There are natural features such as hills and tr e e s w h i c h h e l p t o b l o c k t h e views. Waivers will be required for exterior building m a t e r i a l s a n d b u i l d i n g h e i g h t .

The proposal meets all t h e r e q u i r e m e n t s o f t h e S h o r e l i n e Ordinance. Signage/Lightinq Signage proposed for the building includes a r o u n d w i n d o w o n t h e s o u t h b u i l d i n g elevation with a Vikings emblem on it.

I n addition, building setbacks range from 115 t o 1 2 5 f e e t i n d e p t h f r o m 1 - 4 9 4 . A waiver is required for the size of the sign. A total of six exterior downcast lights are pr o p o s e d o v e r t h e d o o r s f o r s e c u r i t y purposes. Minnesota Vikings 5 October 20, 1989 Staff Recommendations In reviewing this proposal, the Plan n i n g C o m m i s s i o n m u s t a n s w e r t h e f o l l o w i n g questions: 1.

BPC:mdd AREA LOCATION MAP 1 "1.1 STAFF REPORT Planning Commission Scott A. Kipp, Assistant Planner Chris Enger, Director of Planning October 20, 1989 Church of the Jubilee 6500 Baker Road Church of the Jubilee Site Plan Review on 9.35 acres with variance to be reviewed by the Board of Appeals for construction of a 3,000 square foot addition. TO: FROM: THRU: DATE: PROJECT: LOCATION: APPLICANT/ FEE OWNER: REQUEST: Background The Comprehensive Guide Plan depicts this property for Church land use, and was zoned Public in 1977 for the Crosstown Baptist Church. Surround- ing land uses consist of open space to the south and west, Tanager Creek Apartments to the north, zoned RM- 6.5, Cardinal Ridge and Cardinal Hills residential sub-divisions to the east, zoned R1-13.5. As part of the Developer's Agreement for this property, the proponent is required to return to the Planning Commission and City Council for review and approval of additional phasing for the existing Church. On October 3, 1989, the City Council approved an early grading permit for this project in order to make soil correction work in the area of the Church expansion. C ("" C Church of the Jubilee 2 October 20, 1989 Site Plan The proposed 3,000 square foot addition is for classroom use and will be located on the west side of the existing structure. All setbacks are in conformance to code, with the exception of the 5 foot setback requirement for parking from a structure, near the building entrance. The proponent shall revise the plan indicating a proper 5 foot setback. The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is proposed at 3% including this addition, though City Code does not limit FAR's in the Public Zoning District. Approximately 190 parking spaces are currently available on site. Parking requirements for Churches are based on one stall for every three seats located in the largest assembly room. The worship area contains approximately 325 seats, requiring 109 parking stalls. Since adequate parking is availabe and the classroom additions are for Sunday School purposes during Church services, additional parking stalls will not be necessary. Grading and Utilities The only grading required on this project is for the foundation preparation. All excess fill will be located in the southeast corner of the project to help screen the parking from Baker Road. Existing utilities will serve this addition. Landscaping A good amount of existing landscaping occupies the site and is located along the frontage of Baker Road. Based on the Church addition, an additional 10 caliper inches of trees are required. The proponent is supplying 15 caliper inches in the form of 6 foot evergreens to compliment the screening berm at the southeast corner of the site. Architecture The proposed addition is shown to be constructed primarily of stucco, split face concrete block, and glass to match the existing building. Currently, City Code requires that structures in the Public Zoning District be constructed with 75% face brick and glass at a minimum. When the existing Church was constructed, the City Code did not specify face brick within a Public Zoning District. A variance through the Board of Appeals will be necessary for this addition. The entry area for the addition includes a pitched roof feature designed for focal interest and to playoff the existing pitched roof design of the existing facility. All current and proposed rooftop mechanical units are shown to be screened with metal panel consistent with City Code. C (C Church of the Jubilee 3 October 20, 1989 Site Lighting An issue that has been discussed with the proponent during the review of this project is the need to control lighting glare from the Church property. City Code requires all lighting glare to be contained on the site. Currently, floodlights are being used to illuminate the parking lot, and are mounted on the building and on a telephone poll located near the Church entrance. Since the locations of these lights require an angle to properly light the parking lot, adjustments to the angle, or the installation of lighting shields would not be effective since this angle needs to be maintained to properly light the parking. Staff would recommend the removal of all floodlighting from the property and implementation of a standard poll and downcast shoebox lighting design. Recommendations Staff would recommend approval for Site Plan Review of 9.35 acres with variance for the construction of a 3,000 square foot building addition subject to this Staff Report, the plans dated October 6, 1989, and subject to the following: 1. Prior to City Council review, the proponent shall: (a) Revise the parking plan to provide a minimum 5 foot setback from all structures. (b) Submit a new lighting plan for the project consisting of a standard poll and downcast shoebox lighting design for the property in order to contain all glare on-site. 2. Prior to building permit issuance, the proponent shall: (a) Receive a variance from the Board of Appeals for the use of exterior building materials not consistent with City Code. 3. Implementation of a downcast shoebox lighting design shall take place prior to final building inspection and occupancy permit issuance. 4. Proponent acknowledges that future phasing for the Church will require a return to the Planning Commission and City Council for review and approval. 2..,:2Z12(5 Planning CommiL;sion Minutes 2 October 23, 1989 Density Residential to Neighborhood Commercial on 5.59 acres and from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential on 12.16 acres, Planned Unit Development concept Review on 60.79 acres, Planned Unit Development District Review on 60.73 acres with waivers, Site Plan review and Zoning District Change from Rural and R1-22 to RM-6.5 on 12.16 acres, Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-13.5 on 37.65 acres, Preliminary Plat of 60.79 acre s into 17 townhouse lots, 60 single family lots, 2 outlets and road right-of-way, Environmental Assessment Worksheet Review on 60.79 acres for a mixed use development to be known as Jamestown.

MOTION: Bauer moved, seconded by Ruebling to continue the publi c hearing to the November 13, 1929, Planning Commission meeting. Motion carried 4-0-0. B. CHURCH OF JUBILEE, Request for Site Plan Review on 9.35 acres with variance to be reviewed by the Board of Appea l s for construction of a 3,150 square foot addition. Mike Bitner, representing the proponent, presented the plans for a 3150 square foot addition for classroom spa c e to the existing building. The addition would be located on the western side of the building. The existing entrances would remain in place and two additional entrances being added. The exterior of the addition wou l d be stucco with a split face concrete block. The excess soil would be used to create a berm to screen the parkin g area. Six 6-foot evergreens would also be added for screening. Bauer asked Bitner to comment on the lighting proposed. Bitner replied that the proponent was concerned about th e expense involved in removing the existing lights and recommended that shields be used to direct the light. Bauer stated that the proponents reply would indicate th a t the proponent did not agree with the Staff recommendations. Bitner replied that Staff had conclude d that the shields would not be effective; however, the proponent would like to try the shields before going to the extent of removing the lights. Kipp stated that the City Council granted an early gradin g permit for the church addition. Kipp reported that th e request to use stucco would require a variance. The C i t y 3,s:10 Planning Commission Minutes 3 October 23, 1989 Code requires faced brick; however, when t h e e x i s t i n g building was constructed stucco was a n a p p r o v e d m a t e r i a l . Kipp recommended that if NSP could g e t t h e s h i e l d s i n place for the site lighting so tha t a n e v a l u a t i o n c o u l d b e made by Staff prior to the City Cou n c i l m e e t i n g , t h i s would be acceptable to Staff. Mitch Wonson, 14007 Holly Road, sta t e d t h a t h e h a d h a d several communications with City St a f f r e g a r d i n g t h e lighting problem since its install a t i o n i n 1 9 8 6 . w o n s o n believed that a hardship had not be e n d e m o n s t r a t e d t o support the request for the exterio r b u i l d i n g m a t e r i a l variance. He further believed that t h e c u r r e n t architecture was not up to City Cod e a n d r e c o m m e n d e d t h a t the entire building be required to m e e t C i t y C o d e . W o n s o n stated that the parking lot did not m e e t C i t y C o d e requirements and the ballfields were c o n s t r u c t e d o n a portion of floodplain and not enti r e l y o n t h e C h u r c h ' s property. Wonson stated that a sig n i f i c a n t a m o u n t o f glare was produced by the existing l i g h t i n g . W o n s o n a d d e d that he had received a letter from t h e C i t y s t a t i n g t h a t NSP had done everything possible to r e d u c e t h e g l a r e . Wonsan strongly recommended that th e P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n support the Staff recommendations. Roger Davis, 6500 Baker Road, Pasto r o f t h e C h u r c h o f Jubilee, stated that the expansion w a s n e e d e d . D a v i s understood the sensitivity of the l i g h t i n g i s s u e a n d a d d e d that the Church had tried to work o u t s o l u t i o n s . H e stated that he had met twice with r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s f r o m N S P and had hired a lighting contractor t o r e v i e w t h e situation. Davis said that NSP had i n f o r m e d t h e C h u r c h that the shield would eliminate the o f f s i t e g l a r e ; however, if this solution did not w o r k h e w o u l d h a v e n o objection to adhering to the Staff r e c o m m e n d a t i o n . D a v i s noted that the softball fields had e x i s t e d w h e n t h e C h u r c h was constructed and the Church had m e r e l y d r e s s e d t h e fields up. Kipp stated that the City Code requ i r e m e n t w a s t h a t a l l lighting glare be contained onsite . K i p p r e c o m m e n d e d t h a t the lighting glare be mitigated pri o r t o t h e B u i l d i n g Permit issuance. Ruebling asked Davis what the light i n g c o n t r a c t o r h i r e d b y the Church had done or recommended . D a v i s r e p l i e d t h a t the lighting contractors had adjust e d t h e t i l t o f t h e lights at a different angle. Sandstad noted that Staff had requ e s t e d t h a t a l i g h t i n g plan be presented, which he did no t b e l i e v e h a d b e e n d o n e . Ruebling asked Staff if engineers w e r e n o t a v a i l a b l e w h i c h could calculate the amount of glare w i t h o u t t h e n e e d t o 3‘;-7) Planning Commission Minutes 4 October 23, 1989 actually install the shields without knowing if they would help the situation. Kipp replied that there were many variances in the field which could affect the light and added that he would prefer a field inspection after the shields had been installed. Kipp noted that the pole light was the critical issue. Bauer asked the proponent if they were willing to make a time commitment for the installation of the shields and a resolution to the lighting problem. Davis replied that NSP should be able to install the shields within the next few days. Bauer stated that because of the concern voiced by a neighbor regarding the lighting he was not in favor of approving the project based on a nebulous plan. Kipp replied that the Building Permit could be held until the lighting issue was resolved. Franzen stated that shoebox lighting would only light the area around the building and; therefore, additional parking lot lighting would be required. Wonson believed that the site needed a comprehensive site plan review and was not comfortable with just the use of shields. Ruebling asked if the parking lot met City Code requirements. Kipp replied that the parking lot meets and exceeds code requirements for the number of stalls. Ruebling then asked if there was a drainage problem. Kipp replied that the Watershed District reviews the drainage plans, but did not know if this had taken place. Kipp added that City Code did not require curb and gutter. Hallett and Anderson arrived at 8:05 PM. Dodge asked what had been done in the past regarding an addition to an existing building and a request for a variance on exterior building materials. Franzen replied that if the addition were the major portion of the building it would be recommended that the original portion of the building be brought up to City Code standards. MOTION 1: Sandstad moved, seconded by Bauer to close the public hearing. Motion carried 4-0-0. MOTION 2: Bauer moved, seconded by Sandstad to recommend to the City Council approval of the request of Church of Jubilee for Site Plan Review on 9.35 acres for a 3,150 square foot addition to the church facility, with variance for building materials to be reviewed by the Board of Appeals, , n-7 Planning Commission Minutes 5 Octoher 23, 1989 hased on plans dated October 6, 1989, s u b j e c t t o t h e recommendations of the Staff Report dat e d O c t o b e r 2 0 , 1 9 8 9 with the rewording of Item B of the Sta f f R e c o m m e n d a t i o n s to read: Correct the offsite lighting g l a r e p r o b l e m within the confines of the current City O r d i n a n c e p r i o r t o the issuance of an Occupancy Permit.

The price range would be a p p r o x i m a t e l y $265,000 to $310,000. Schwieters stated that 13 to 14 units had already been sold in the Blu f f s 6 t h A d d i t i o n . He added that there was also a need for a s m a l l e r u n i t o f approximately 1700 square feet with a p r i c e r a n g e o f $170,000 to $200,000.

Kipp, Assistant Planner Chris Enger, Director of Planning November 17, 1989 Church of the Jubilee On October 23, 1989, the Planning Commision approved the request for building expansion for the Church of the Jubilee. Two issues raised in the Staff Report relate to the structure's building materials and the existing site lighting. The proposed building expansion is shown to be constructed primarily of stucco, glass and split-face concrete block to match the existing structure. City Code requires that 75% of the exterior building finish consists of face-brick, natural stone, or glass. Since the original phase of the Church was built prior to adoption of the building materials code, the proponent requests a variance in order to blend the addition into the existing building design. On November 9, 1989 the project went before the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, at which time the variance was continued to the December 14, 1989 meeting in order to further evaluate the possibilities of being able to meet City Code without a variance. No plan revisions have been submitted at this time. The second issue that needs to be addressed is the site lighting. The City has received complaints of off-site glare from the existing parking lighting system. City Code requires that all lighting glare be contained on the property. After Staff review, it was determined that the proponent would need to provide a new lighting plan consisting of a downcast lighting design to control the glare. At the Planning Commission meeting, the proponent requested the opportunity to evaluate the use of shields placed on the existing lighting in order to control off-site glare. It was agreed that prior to the City Council meeting, the Church would implement the lighting shields for Staff evaluation. During this week, the Zoning Administrator evaluated the effectiveness of the lighting shields during evening hours and found that the glare was controlled by the shields. However, an additional light, mounted on the south end of the west wall, does not have a lighting shield and will need to be implemented as part of this approval. Although the site lighting does not utilize a downcast shoebox design, the implementation of the lighting shields meet the intent of the City Code requirement. Staff would recommend approval of the site plan review on 9.35 acres with a building materials variance to be reviewed by the Board of Appeals for construction of a 3,150 square foot building addition, subject to plans dated October 6, 1989, the Staff Report of October 20, 1989, this memo and the results of the December 14, 1989 Board of Appeals and Adjustments decision.

BRIEF HISTORY: In mid - .!86 we bought the existing building and property. AL that t. m° the grounds were filled with weeds and badly in need of mainteu,nce. The building itself needed mainten a n c e and renovation. In the '31/2 years we have been here we have renovat e d both inside and outsiee it a cost of about $200,000. Our goal is to continue to renovate bota the grounds and the building as money becomes available. REQUEST: We desire to d4 aperoximately 3150 S/F of Suinde.y School and teen space to tha waat side of the existing building. This addition will meet_ all: 1. SETBACK CODES 2. ,'ARKINCI CODES 3. ATERIAL CODES 4. AFETY CODES 5. ::TC. We di:' request iv iance in order to use a percentage of stucco on the outside so it wou ,d be compatible with the existing building. However, because the Apr. al.,: Poe rd c.?s hesitant to approve stucco, we withdrew the rcquest anc ct,e material that roots the coda.

Th e r e f o r e I w i l l address them as well. 1. Small Portion of Parking Lot on Flood Plain. Mr. Obermeyer of the Watershed District was notif i e d o f this and says "it is not a problem." 2. Softball Field. A portion of the outfield fence and a "sliver" of l a n d falls on Park property. Mr. Lambert was notified a n d s a i d , " I will get back to you if its a problem." 3. Glare from Parking Lot lights. After being notified of this, since we desire to b e sensitive to our neighbors, we tilted the pole li g h t s a n d w a l l lights more downward. After hearing the latest c o n c e r n b y o u r neighbor we tilted the lights even further and in s t a l l e d s h i e l d s on the lights which prevent "off site glare." We h a v e r e q u e s t e d a site inspection by the city.

Pauly, City Attorney Subject: Gambling Regulation Date: November 9, 1989 I was surprised but pleased to learn that there were some further changes in the gambling law of which I was unaware when discussing it with the Council on TUesday, November 7, 1989 and therefore was incorrect in some of the advice I gave. The important part of the law which has been revised is that dealing with distribution of receipts for lawful charitable purposes. The change now speci- fically authorizes the City to require by ordinance that organizations must contribute 10% of their net profits to a fund administered and regulated by the City for disbursement by the City of those sums for lawful charitable purposes. The change also permits the City to require organizations to expend all or a portion of its charitable contributions requirements within the City's trade area, which the City is authorized to define by ordinance. I am therefore drafting the ordinance to require the 10% to be paid to the City and to require all of the charitable contributions to be made within the City. It may, of course, be appropriate to allow some contributions to go outside the City and if so, an appropriate modification can be considered at the first reading. RAP : nm To: Through: From: Subject: Mayor and Members of the Council Carl Jullie, City Manager Roger A. Pauly, City Attorney Gambling Ordinance Date: November 15, 1989 I have prepared for your consideration a draft of an ordinance relating to the above subject matter. Following are comments and observations relating to the draft. 1. All forms of lawful gambling, except paddle wheels, authorized by State Law may be approved by the Council. These forms include bingo, raffles, tip boards and pull tabs. 2. The draft ordinance does not seek to regulate those gambling activities exempt pursuant to Minnesota Statutes §349.214. Those activities include bingo conducted in connection with a County fair or civic celebration for not more than 12 consecutive days in a year, by an organization which con- ducts 4 or fewer bingo occasions in a calendar year, and bingo conducted within a nursing home or senior citizens' housing project for senior citi- zens organizations in which limited amounts of prizes are awarded. Raffles are exempt if the value of prizes awarded in a calendar year does not exceed $750.00. Also, gambling conducted by an organization which limits lawful gambling to 5 or fewer days in a calendar year and does not award more than $50,000 in prizes for gambling in a calendar year is exempt on certain con- ditions. Finally, raffles by certain organizations which deliver health or social services under contract to the State or a political subdivision are exempt. 3. Gambling can be conducted only on premises owned by an organization which includes fraternal, religious, Veterans or other non-profit organizations having at least 15 active members and which have been incorporated for at least 3 years or have been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as exempt from taxation for that period. The limitations on the premises on which gambling can occur are qualified by an exception. The exception is that an organization may conduct gambling in those places permitted by and in accordance with Minnesota Statutes §349.18, Subd. 2. That exception states that a licensed organization may conduct raffles on a premises it does not own or lease and with the permission of the Board may conduct bingo on premise it does not own or lease for up to 6 days in a calendar year in connection with a County fair or civil celebration. An organization may also conduct all forms of lawful gambling on premises other than its licensed premises for 1 day per year for not more than 12 hours. 4. An organization may be eligible for a gambling license only if for 3 years it has had an office in the City and demonstrates that during that period it has performed substantial service within the City or on behalf of residents of the City. This provision may not be necessary in light of the change in the law referred to in my earlier memorandum. Those changes are reflected in Subd. 10 of the draft which requires organizations to contribute 10% of their net profits to a fund administered by the City and further requires that orga- nizations must make all of their charitable contributions within the City. 5. It will be necessary to determine the amount of tax to be imposed by the City and that percentage inserted in Subd. 9 (c). The maximum tax permitted is 3%. As I explained earlier, the tax must be used by the City for its regulation of lawful gambling.

The SWSCC, acting on behalf of and in conjunction with its Member Cities, completed many significant projects in the past year as outlined in Section II entitled "Commission Activities for 1989". We accomplished a settlement with Rogers Cablesystems, completed a transfer of ownership to Paragon Cable, and initiated a local news show to report to area citizens activities and events occurring in our communities. Production of the weekly news show will begin the week of November 13th with a first airing set for Friday, November 17, 1989, on cable channel 34. The news show project is being funded through additional franchise fees derived from an increase in franchise fee percentage and an increase in Company revenues. The Cities, therefore, will not experience a lessening of funds received from franchise fees, due to the news show project. In addition, we have outlined in Section I a work plan informing you of the issues and concerns we hope to address in 1990 on your behalf, as a Joint Powers Commission. We look forward to yet another full and challenging year. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments once you have reviewed our annual report. We thank you for your cooperation and interest in our activities of the past year. Sincerely, aAeAL, Karen Anderson Chairperson, Southwest Suburban Cable Commission AM1/kd Enclosure 7 Cities of Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, Minnetonka & Richfield Executive Summary The Southwest suburban Cable Commission, through its regular meetings and by way of many special meetings, completed several extensive projects during 1989, including procuring a $3.5-million settlement with the existing cable company in forgiveness of past franchise obligations, oversight of the transfer of the cable system to a new operator, and analysis of various avenues to fund in the area of community programming. As an outgrowth to the study of funding options for community programming, the Commission hired Paragon's production services group to produce four pilot shows of a weekly news show, called "Southwest Community News", in September 1989. The Commission is in the process of evaluating the success of the show in providing information to residents and deciding on frequency and continued funding of such a production. Decisions on funding other community programming projects, from lighting enhancements to hiring additional staff, have been put on hold. The Commission continued their membership to Regional Channel 6 in 1989, which required distribution of Southwest shows of regional significance to the Regional Channel for playback. Additionally, the Commission hired a video producer to produce a half-hour show on fiscal disparities, light rail transit, and one on airport development for playback on their membership time slot on the Regional Channel. To give you an idea of the variety of programs airing under sponsorship by the Commission, Appendix A to the report provides a list of the programs airing during the Commission's time slot for the final quarter of 1989. The Commission continued to monitor the cable company's activities in construction of new developments, complaint resolution, reporting of subscriber statistics, and the ongoing development of community programming. Appendix B provides a brief summary of the highlights in public access programming for 1989. The Southwest Suburban Cable Commission has completed a significant year and encourages you to review the following report for a more indepth look at its goals for the upcoming year, its activities and accomplishments in 1989, and its function in the current regulatory environment. The annual budget for the Commission, including a separate Program Budget, for 1990 are included in Appendix C. The program budget is new this year. It will permit the Commission to help the Cities embark on an exciting new venture in local programming. 1 I. 1990 Work Plan of the $outhwest Suburban Cable Commission The Commission is currently evaluating a number of issues and concerns and will formulate specific goals and objectives to address each of them. Issues and concerns include the following: Community Programming o Community programming needs will be assessed and the commitment to improve the quality and quantity studied. o The "Southwest Community News" show will be developed: The format studied - Marketing and promotion developed Focus group and subscriber feedback - Special interest programming identified o Regional Channel 6 programming support. o Work with the school consortium to oversee its implementation of a new educational access programming plan. Communications o Address the need to develop a greater awareness of cable television services and the functions and activities of the Commission. This includes improving communications within the Commission, with cable operators, with the Member Cities, with the school consortium, and with the public. Ongoing Review and Evaluation • The need to address the review requirements required by franchising authorities under the Federal Cable Act. This includes development of records, complaint logs, and evaluation of services. o A periodic review, evaluation, and updating of the franchise and consideration of current trends and developments as they relate to the needs of the Southwest area will be accomplished according to this requirement in the franchise. Legislation and Local Regulation • The Commission will address the policy needs of its Member Cities in response to the ever-changing legal and regulatory environment. 2 Zducation and Training Work to better understand the changing technology and influences of cable television-related industries such as telephone company, satellites, and the importance of these changes to the Member Cities and the existing franchise. 3 II. Commission Activities for 1989 A. Enhancement to the Subscriber Network In follow-up to the Southwest Institutional Network Group's (SWING) recommendations presented in August of 1988, the SWSCC and Rogers Cablesystems jointly funded enhancement of the subscriber network for institutional uses at a cost of over $35,000. The enhancement doubled the network's capacity for video conferencing (ex. interactive classroom) applications. With the addition of equipment, not only can two channels per city be transmitted, but once received at the headend, they can be discreetly routed to one or more cities. The requirement to build an institutional network was deferred for a minimum of five years. B. Transfer of Ownership Approximately a year and a half ago, Rogers Cablesystems announced that it would sell all of its cable holdings in the United States. It was required to do so due to a Canadian law that restricted foreign ownership by a domestic corporation. Rogers Cablesystems is principally owned by the Rogers Canadian Company and, for that reason, a sale was required. The Commission expended considerable effort on behalf of the five Cities with regard to the transfer of ownership. The participation of the Commission consists of at least two areas that had to be dealt with. The first related to a review of compliance by the existing operator and how the franchise agreement should go forward to the new cable operator. The second area for consideration related to the evaluation of the proposed new cable operator so that a recommendation could be made as to whether or not it was qualified to serve as the cable operator for the five Southwest Cities. 1. Review of Compliance by the Existina Operator: The Commission, its Operating Committee and staff spent considerable effort and countless hours on reviewing all of the original proposals of Rogers and from there delineating its compliance and noncompliance. The purpose of this was to have a clear, upfront understanding so that when the franchise was transferred to a new cable operator, all parties would know exactly what was being transferred and what the ongoing expectations under the franchise would be. As part of this, it was determined that some of the previous cutbacks that had been made to benefit Rogers financially should be reviewed, and the five Southwest Cities were entitled to reinstitute original requirements or were entitled to negotiate a settlement for keeping these cutbacks in place. This determination necessitated a negotiation process which had no precedent in 4 the cable industry. After approximately six months of negotiation, the Commission determined that a cash settlement of $3.5-million and a return to the franchise fee of 5% would settle any differences. Based on this, an agreement was achieved which kept the Relief Agreement in place for the new operator. The Commission developed the settlement agreements and the recommendations that helped each of the five Cities understand the issues and the basis for the settlement between the cable operator and the five Southwest Cities. The settlement payment was made to the Commission in early 1989. The Commission then determined, by a further process, how distribution would be made. This will be discussed later in this report. 2. Evaluation of the New Operator: The second aspect of transfer of ownership that had to be worked on by the Commission included the evaluation of the new cable operator. Minnesota law requires that on a transfer of ownership, there should be consideration given to whether or not there may be an adverse effect on subscribers as a result of the transfer. Further, Minnesota law requires that in the granting of a franchise, consideration be given to the legal, technical, and financial qualifications of the proposed new cable operator. In addition to the evaluation done by the Commission and its staff, a financial consultant, Mr. Don Richards, was hired to provide assistance. The Commission developed a preliminary and final report of its evaluation, conducted a public hearing, and coordinated with all five Member Cities all of the responsibilities and requirements for the transfer of ownership and the granting of the franchise to the new cable operator, now known as Paragon. The closing was held at the end of February 1989. Thereafter, Commission staff prepared a closing notebook containing all of the documents relating to the sale and transfer and furnished those to the city clerks of each of the Member Cities. C. Distribution of Settlement Proceeds The Commission asked the five Member Cities for permission to evaluate the distribution of the $3.5-million settlement proceeds. The role of the Commission is to administer and enforce the cable television franchise for each Member City and, in this regard, it is the body serving each of the five Cities that will help each City to recognize the cable television opportunities available to them. In order to evaluate the distribution of proceeds, each of the five Cities had particular goals that were expressed by their Commission members. A focus was developed. In particular, the focus identified that a review should be made of the community programming opportunities available to the five Member Cities and how they might be enhanced by additional funding. Naturally, opinions concerning the amount of involvement of the Commission or the extent to which additional funding should be made available for this effort differed amongst the Directors on the Commission from 5 9:7 each of the Cities. For this reason, a number of different options were considered and at different funding levels. Review by the Commission involved consideration of a separate staff for the purpose of developing programming, acquiring ownership of all of the access equipment and facilities from the cable operator, and contracting with other entities to produce programs including the current cable operator, Paragon Cable. In addition, the Commission considered equipment purchases, lighting enhancements, and grant programs as options to improving community programming. After the Commission had the opportunity to review programming that had been developed by other organizations with goals similar to the Southwest, it was determined that some funding should be made available initially to develop some prototype programming that could be further studied by the Commission and the Member Cities. Further, it was determined that the remaining proceeds of the $3.5- million should be distributed on a proportional basis to the Member Cities, rather than being held by the Commission. This was done with the understanding that the Commission would continue to work on recommendations for the use of some of these proceeds for community programming purposes. During July of this year, the Commission hired Rogers' production services to develop two alternative programs for consideration by the Commission. The formats included: First, a weekly news format show that would be one-half hour in length. The program would have a professional appearance. The program would not be intended to compete with broadcast news, but rather would be programming reflecting the positive things that are occurring in each of the five Member Cities. It is intended to provide a new communications opportunity for the five Member Cities. The second format was a weekly interview show of significant issues. This interview format would be structured so that one or two communities would discuss a particular matter indepth. After review of the sample programming, it was determined by the Commission that further prototypes of the weekly news program would be done during the month of September and, for the moment, the interview show would not be continued. During September, the Commission, in conjunction with the cable company, developed four live news shows. These were played back over the cable system. They were shown at differing times, a press release was issued, and each City was encouraged to promote the shows via communication avenues available to each City. The Commission believes that continuing to work on this programming and the development of it will provide an opportunity for the five Southwest Cities to improve their communications to their residents on matters occurring in their communities. D. General Functions of the Commission 1. Construction-1n the Spring, Paragon Cable developed its proposed construction program for the upcoming season. Each 6 year this is done by the cable operator and presented to the Commission, so that the Commission and its representatives will have the opportunity of knowing where new construction will be occurring. This is particularly important in the areas where development is yet to occur. The proposed construction program is then followed up by the cable company and in the Fall, a final report is made reflecting the completion of construction. This is particularly useful for the Commission because its representatives will then know how to handle complaints and questions that may occur from their residents about the availability of cable television services. 2. Feaional Channel 6--The Commission has supported Regional Channel 6 and serves as a member of it. Regional Channel 6 is a nonprofit corporation that coordinates programming on cable Channel 6 on each cable system throughout the 7-county metropolitan area. Programming on this channel is intended to be programming of regional significance and the Southwest Commission has reserved time on this channel to bring to the metropolitan area reports about the five Southwest Cities. Appendix A provides a list of programs to be aired in the Southwest time slot in the final quarter of 1989 as a sample of the variety of programs made available to subscribers. Programming is regularly developed. Additionally, Mr. Ken Rosland, city manager of Edina, serves on the board of directors of Regional Channel 6. Programming that was developed through initiative of the Commission and aired in its membership timeslot included a show on fiscal disparities, light rail transit, airport issues in review, and a variety of Southwest access programs of regional interest. 3. Complaint Handlinq--The Commission handles and deals with complaints and concerns of subscribers about the services of the cable television operator. Numerous complaints are handled throughout the year on a variety of matters including programming, picture quality, cable service, construction, rates and charges. The Commission staff handles these complaints and works with the cable operator for their resolution. The cable operator has worked very hard to improve its responsiveness to complaints of subscribers. In fact, it has initiated a response to telephone handling and improved this specifically at the request of the Southwest Commission. The response time to telephone inquiries has been reduced dramatically over the years. 4. programming--While the Commission and the Cities do not have specific regulatory authority over the types of programs and services provided by the cable operator, the cable operator is responsive to requests made by the Commission. Additionally, the cable operator informs the Commission on a regular basis of programming changes, so that the representatives of each City will be aware of these changes. Rogers has initiated many new programming changes this past year, including providing the Midwest Sports Channel and a change in the financial news 7 channel to CNBC. The commission has attempted to work with the school consortium to help it enhance educational programming. Utilization of a specialized national service called the Learning Channel on the local educational channels was considered and, for the moment, set aside to permit the school consortium to develop a plan of action for programming the two channels over the next few years. 5. Rates and Services--Again, rates and services are not within the regulatory authority of the Commission. However, the Commission regularly monitors the rates and services of the cable company and attempts through its Members to keep the Cities informed of these matters. The cable operator is mindful of the concerns of subscribers to rates and is responsive to the Commission concerning rate questions and concerns. 6. Community Proaramminq--The Commission continued to monitor development of community programming opportunities in the Southwest. The Operating Committee's Southwest Community Programming Committee (SWCPC) worked directly with Paragon to evaluate and revise the promotional plan which had been in place one year. The training curriculum was finalized and work was begun on updating the access guidelines to further encourage use of access opportunities by residents. The community programming staff reports unprecedented participation levels at all studios. Appendix B provides a brief summary of the highlights in production for the year. 7. Awards--The Commission sponsors awards programs for community television programs. An annual awards program was produced live from Edinborough in Edina in April 1989, and awards were presented to 250 community video producers in 17 categories. 8. Name Chance--Rogers Cablesystems officially became Paragon Cable in name on September 1, 1989. All of its identifying literature, signage, and uniforms were changed to reflect this new name and new company logo. The Commission worked with the cable company on this change. 9. Relationship with School Consortium--The Commission has regularly worked with the school consortium on a variety of issues and, in particular, making channels available for programming. Under encouragement by the Commission, the school consortium is in the process of developing goals to increase programming on the two educational channels. 8 III. How the Commission Functions in the Current Cable Regulatory Climate A. Structure of the Commission The Southwest Suburban Cable Commission is a Joint Powers Commission created by the Cities of Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, Minnetonka, and Richfield. This Joint Powers Agreement was created for the specific purpose of administering and enforcing the cable television franchises granted by each of the Member Cities. Prior to that time, the Commission had operated under a different Joint Powers Agreement. The purpose of that Agreement was to create an entity for the purpose of developing a franchise that could be commonly entered into by its Member Cities. Initially, the franchise of each City was granted to Rogers Cablesystems in early 1980. After the granting of the franchise, the Cities agreed that the Joint Powers concept had worked well and that for purposes of administration and enforcement, a similar entity ought to be created. This was accomplished in accordance with not only a general Joint Powers law in Minnesota, but what was then known as the State Cable Board's regulations pertaining to cable television. The Commission, made up of one elected and one staff representative from each City, is currently comprised of the following Directors: Patricia Pidcock and Carl Jullie, Eden Prairie Glenn Smith and Kenneth Rosland, Edina Chuck Kritzler and Craig Rapp, Hopkins Karen Anderson and James F. Miller, Minnetonka Ivan Ludeman and Jim Prosser, Richfield Additionally, the Commission is staffed by Adrian Herbst and Ann Mathews of the Moss & Barnett Law Firm. They perform the legal, as well as administrative services that are needed by the Commission. B. Regular Meetings of the Commission The Commission meets with all its Directors on a quarterly basis. The meetings are held generally on the first Wednesday evening of the month. The meetings are held in January, April, July, and October. Karen Anderson, Councilmember from the City of Minnetonka, was elected Chairperson of the Commission this past year. Up until that time, C. Wayne Courtney, former mayor of the City of Edina, served since the inception of not only the current operating Commission, but the former Commission that had embarked on the process of developing the franchise. C. Wayne Courtney did not run again for mayor of the City of Edina and, for that reason, no longer continued as the director with the Commission. The Operating Committee is the business unit of the Commission. It is comprised of the city managers of the five Cities, with Carl 9 Jullie, Vice-Chairperson of the Commission, serving as the current Chairperson of the operating Committee. The Operating Committee meets on a bi-monthly basis. However, quite often it meets more regularly as business requires. This has happened frequently in th e past because of a number of matters that required the attention of the Commission on a more regular basis. The Operating Committee has established a Volunteer Committee to serve as an advisory group to it and the Commission on a variety of community programming concerns and issues. The Committee is known as the "Southwest Community Program Committee". This Committee meets as needed. It helps to provide a link to the Member Cities on this important aspect of the Commission's oversight of th e obligations of the cable operator under the franchise. The Committee members are all volunteers, except Ann Mathews who serves as its chair. The Committee members are as follows: Ralph Campbell Rick LaMothe Cindy Shelton Carol Slothower Debra Cottone of Paragon Cable also serves on the staff of this Committee. C. Participation by the Company Rogers Cablesystems, now known as Paragon Cable, has actively participated in the Commission and Operating Committee meetings. This has been so not only during the past year, but throughout the term of the franchise, as well. The participation is particularly useful because it gives the Directors of each community a first-ha n d opportunity to meet with the representatives of the cable company t o discuss concerns and issues. It also permits the Directors serving on the Commission and the Operating Committee the opportunity to receive reports and information from the cable company that keep them up to date and current on the activities, programs, and plans of the cable company. In the Spring, the cable company furnishes the Commission with its projected construction program for the summer months. This is particularly useful because in many areas, particularly Eden Prairie and, to some extent, Minnetonka, new housing developments require the installation of cable television. The cable company also provides monthly reports that provide customers' statistics to the Commission. The statistics reflect the changes in services, the percentage of subscribers that actually buy the services from the cable operator known as the cable company's penetration, detail a s to the particular kinds of services that are being purchased, including basic service, pay-per-view services, and a variety of premium services. This information includes enough detail to assi s t the Commission in knowing about the growth of cable service in th e communities and how well it is achieving its goals of providing cable services throughout all of the five Member Cities. 1 0 The following is a brief summary of some of the statistics. You can see that the cable operator's growth has changed significantly in terms of penetration. This cable company serving the Southwest area now has a penetration that is highest in the metropolitan area. Month Ending July 31, 1989: Marketable Homes for Sale Total Basic Subs Penetration Total Pay Units 77,019 41,307 53.6% 25,933 The cable company also furnishes to the Commission results from its annual subscriber survey. Initially, the company develops a survey to send to its subscribers and then seeks the input from the Commission. Once the survey is conducted, the Commission is given its findings. D. Cable Television Regulatory Climate Today Initially, municipalities in Minnesota had the authority to franchise cable television through regulations that had been adopted by the Minnesota State Cable Board. The Minnesota State Cable Board was an entity created by the legislature of Minnesota in the early 1970's which had the purpose of helping to promote the development of cable television and its economic viability. It also was intended to serve as a guiding resource to municipalities. Rules and regulations were developed by the Minnesota Cable Board that were unique in the country. These rules and regulations helped to provide significant guidance to Cities so that franchises that were granted were uniform. Also, the Cable Board sought to join municipalities together to ensure that cable systems, as they developed, were built throughout the area without a checkerboard pattern, whereby not only communities having a large population base would receive cable but those with a smaller population base would receive cable, as well. The State Cable Board also approved the franchises that were granted by municipalities and issued a Certificate of Compliance. The State Cable Board went out of business in the middle 1980's after the legislature determined it no longer had a continuing role. However, the legislature adopted the rules that had been developed by the State Cable Board and embodied them into a law in Minnesota known as the Minnesota Cable Act. It was about the same time that the State Cable Board went out of business that considerable controversy existed on a national level regarding the regulation of cable television. In the late 70's and early 80's, cable operators had sought franchises from municipalities and did so very aggressively because of tremendous competition. Promises were made that could not be lived up to and frequent disputes arose between the cable operator and the municipal franchising authority. The Federal Communications Commission got into the act and attempted to preempt various municipal authority 11 provisions. The courts did likewise. After three years of debate, the Congress of the United States adopted a Cable Act known as the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984. That Act was intended to be a compromise of the disputes and misunderstandings and was an attempt to establish a body of law that would clearly outline the responsibilities and the authority of municipal franchising authorities and the rights of the cable operators. This Act does provide a good guide for municipalities for most of the matters that were frequently disputed prior to the Act. The authority for regulating rates was abolished by the Act and many thought that because of that, the Cable Act deregulated cable television. However, setting aside rate regulation, there are many provisions in this law that continue to provide substantial authority to municipalities to oversee and enforce the franchises. Since the Cable Act of 1984, cable operators have attempted to consolidate their cable systems. As a consequence of this and also inasmuch as rate regulation was no longer available to municipalities, the price for cable systems continued to skyrocket from 1984 to the current time. The price paid on the marketplace for a cable system is based on the number of subscribers. Systems were sold in 1984 for around $800-900 per subscriber and today systems sell for anywhere from $2,500-3,000 per subscriber. The highly-leveraged buyouts and debt service from sales of cable systems has now presented new problems that are being wrestled with by Congress. The National League of Cities is again attempting to provide leadership for municipalities in demanding that Congress take a look at tightening cable regulation. The concern is that the price paid for cable systems is causing an impact on rates charged to subscribers. There are a number of bills currently in Congress evaluating the regulatory environment of cable. The National League of Cities continues to address cable regulatory concerns. The Southwest Commission, as the body representing the five Cities, continues to monitor the legislative and regulatory environment and has been, as one of its goals, keeping its Member Cities informed.

SWCT productions received recognition in several national video competitions, as well as presentation on the ME Cable Network. Record numbers of city festival events were recorded by staff and volunteers. Significant individual and series programs were produced locally and imported. The number of local programs cablecast on PEG channels increased by 26% (538 vs. 425 programs), comparing December 1987 - May 1988 with December 1988 - May 1989. These additional programs contributed to a roughly 26% increase (2467 vs. 1953 hours) in overall cablecast hours. During this period, the number of camer a checkouts increased from 195 to 254, or by 30%. Improvement in these key areas can be attributed to the initiation of efforts in fall 1988 to completely fill channel 33 with current and choice repeat programming during prime time; by t h e success of the Promotional Plan; an increase in Minnetonka city sponsored programming; the introduction of S-VHS recording and camcorders; and the increasing proficiency of staff. Walker Round Sculpture, produced cooperatively by Paragon Cable and The Walker Art Center, won the NCTA's 1989 ACE Award for Children's Programming. The 20-minute documentary explores the ne w Minneapolis Sculpture Garden through the eyes of Eden Prairie Central Middle School students. A finalist award was presented by the NFLCP through their 1989 Hometown USA Video Festival to the Edina producers of Swedish Folk Fiddling is Alive in Minnesota, a 30-minute exploration of our area's Scandinavian heritage. In October 1988, four SWCT programs were named winners in the Minnesota-wide "Video Slate" community TV competition. In November 1988, the AO Cable Network aired Eden Prairie Plans for Business Development, one of eight "CityVideo" competiti o n winners. The program is a cooperative production of Paragon Cable and the City of Eden Prairie Planning Department. Diverse and high profile programs were produced over the past year. Some 25 programs resulted from celebrations in the five cities, including: Eden Prairie Sunbonnet and Schooner Days; / 16 Hopkins Raspberry Festival and Family Day events; the Ri c h f i e l d 4 t h of July parade; and Minnetonka Summerfest. Locally-produced series presented many voices on a weekly basis: Hopkins Highlights (city events and concerns); F r i e n d s o f Mainstreet (conservative politics and economics); Zdina P o l i c e , Report (Minnetonka); Recreation Review and gookins Fire D e p a r t m e n t ' s Mot Spots (city sponsored)• front and Center (Hopkins Chi l d ' s P l a y Theater); Suburban NAACP (area minority); royal Update an d r a t h e r i n e Curren News (Hopkins Schools); Living Joyfully (inspirati o n a l ) ; T h e Lighter Side (live talk); many live city council and plan n i n g commission meetings from Richfield, Hopkins, and Minneton k a .

The overall cost, to be funded over three years, would be $240,000 for replacement versus $180,000 for refurbishment. The 1989 budget included $90,000 in equipment certificates to be used for these purchases; the 1990 budget proposes $70,000. As proposed in February, final payment through use of certificates would occur in 1991. Bids for the two triple-combination pumpers were opened on September 12, 1989. One company, General Safety Equipment Corporation, submitted bids. Its net price, including pre-payment for chassis and trade-in allowance, was $309,000. This quote assumed that the City would be making payment over three years; the bidder has included interest costs over that time within the bid. General Safety satisfied all elements of the specifications. Its prices are comparable with the prices paid for similar apparatus. In order to procure this equipment at the prices quoted, the Council would need to authorize an additional $70,000 in equipment certificates over what was proposed last winter. Certificates in the amount of $50,000 could be issued each year from 1991-1993. The interest on the additional $70,000 would be $18,000-$20,000. In purchasing these replacement engines, the City would be gaining up-to-date equipment and an additional ten years' useful life for each engine. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Council award the contact for the purchase of two triple-combination pumpers to General Safety Equipment Corporation per its bid submitted for $309,000. CJJ:CWD:bmm m-fireng MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources DATE: November 3, 1989 SUBJECT: Trail Connection at Larkspur Lane Attached to this memo is the information submitted to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission in October regarding the trail connection at Larkspur Lane. At the October 3rd meeting, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommended the City Council consider condemning the trail easement in order to make this trail connection. The City Manager requested the City staff to contact the property owners that were opposing the trail connection to determine what their concerns were and to see if those concerns could be resolved. On November 2, 1898 Stuart Fox, Manager of Parks and Natural Resources and Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources, met with Keith and Mardell Kennedy, 9035 Preserve Boulevard, to provide them with background information on the trail and to find out what their objections were to the trail, and to determine if their concerns could be alleviated through screening, etc. The Kennedy's indicated that they had purchased their home three years ago and were not aware of any future plans to extend the trail behind their home. They appreciate the wildlife and natural character of the Neill Lake area and would not appreciate extending asphalt through that area. Their concerns are both the viewing of asphalt through this natural area and the invitation the trail would have from the public into the Preserve trail system. The major objection is really the additional loss of privacy behind their home. The Kennedy's feel they pay extremely high taxes to live in Eden Prairie, plus an additional fee to be members of the Preserve Homeowner's Association and they don't believe it makes good sense to connect the Preserve Homeowner's Association trail to the public trail system. Staff pointed out that the Preserve Homeowner's Association trail system connects to the public trail system throughout the Preserve and that individuals are walking or bicycling across the outlot at this time and although the construction of the asphalt trail would make the trail more convenient and safer to those using the trail system, it would not encourage a great deal more use of the trail system behind their home. At the end of the discussion, the n Kennedy's were politely adamant that they were not in fav o r o f t h e trail connection.

The last portion o f t h e t r a i l c o r r i d o r w a s g i v e n t o the City in 1982 when a portio n o f O u t l o t C o f t h e H i g h P o i n t 4 t h Addition was subdivided and giv e n t o t h e C i t y b y t h e P r e s e r v e .

Although, the Meadow Park Subdivision was appro v e d i n 1 9 7 9 , t h e actual construction of the 8' wide bituminou s t r a i l w a s n o t completed until the summer of 1988. It was at th a t t i m e t h a t t h e staff discovered that there was a gap in the C i t y ' s a b i l i t y t o complete the trail connection from Meadow Park ( L a r k s p u r L a n e ) eastward to connect with the mowed trail whic h e x i s t s o n t h e southerly end of Neill Lake. The staff then conta c t e d E v e l y n L a w , General Manager of the Preserve Association, to a s c e r t a i n w h e t h e r or not the City could secure an easement for th e c o n s t r u c t i o n a n d use of a pedestrian pathway. A copy of that let t e r i s e n c l o s e d f o r your information. Shortly after the initial inquiry, I was inform e d b y M s . L a w t h a t there was a technical difficulty in securing th e e a s e m e n t t h a t w e were asking for. According to their Associati o n a t t o r n e y , t h e y were unable to convey any interests in real e s t a t e t o a n y o t h e r party since that power was reserved for th e m e m b e r s o f t h e Association by statute. It was their attorney' s o p i n i o n t h a t d u e to this limitation the Board of Directors for the A s s o c i a t i o n c o u l d not convey an easement to the City without a m a j o r i t y v o t e o f a t least 75% of each class of members within the Pre s e r v e A s s o c i a t i o n . After the initial response from the Association B o a r d , t h e s t a f f attended a Board meeting to answer additional q u e s t i o n s t h a t s o m e of the Board members had, as well as pursuing t h e p o s s i b i l i t y o f allowing the City to grade in the trail on the Pr e s e r v e A s s o c i a t i o n property. The reason for this was that the gen e r a l p u b l i c w o u l d be able to utilize the trail regardless of if i t w a s o n a C i t y easement or on Preserve Association property. A t t h a t t i m e , t h e Directors felt it was necessary to solicit the f e e d b a c k f r o m t h e four property owners on the southerly tip of t h e N e i l l W o o d s Subdivision to see if there would be any negativ e f e e d b a c k r e l a t e d to a trail being placed in the proposed locati o n . S h o r t l y a f t e r that meeting, the Board received a single negat i v e r e s p o n s e f r o m one of the property owners, and at that point t h e y d e c i d e d t h a t the trail discussion should end and that no fu r t h e r d i s c u s s i o n could take place unless a vote by the membership w a s u n d e r t a k e n . CURRENT STATUS After several telephone conversations with Evelyn L a w o v e r t h e l a s t year, the staff felt that it was necessary to f i n d o u t e x a c t l y where the Board of Directors stood as far as taki n g t h i s m a t t e r t o the general membership of the Association for a v o t e . A l e t t e r w a s directed to the Association in the later p a r t o f t h e s u m m e r reaffirming our position in securing the bike t r a i l e a s e m e n t . I n mid-September the staff received a response a n d t h a t l e t t e r i s attached for your review. Based on this response from the Preserve Ass o c i a t i o n a n d t h e i r inability to grant the City the proposed easeme n t , t h e s t a f f f e e l s that the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resour c e s C o m m i s s i o n a n d City Council need to be involved in determining t h e f u t u r e o f t h i s trail corridor. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff can certainly understand the problem that the Pre s e r v e Association and Board of Directors has related to this situat i o n . In order to take a vote of the Association membership, it w o u l d certainly cost the Association a considerable amount of mon e y t o print, mail, and tabulate the votes related to this parti c u l a r easement transaction. However, the staff also feels very str o n g l y that the 450' gap in this trail corridor needs to be resolved . T h e staff would recommend that this matter be referred to the C i t y Attorney for further review and a recommendation as to the str a t e g y to follow in securing this trail easement.

I h a v e enclosed a description of the easement area (Exh i b i t A ) a n d a m a p ( E x h i b i t B ) . The reason for the easement is to connect the City owned trail on Outlot B o f Meadow Park with the existing blacktop and mowed t r a i l w h i c h g o e s a r o u n d N e i l l Lake. The City is proposing to blacktop the t r a i l f r o m O u t l o t B t o t h e southerly end and of the existing trail and h a v e a m o w e d t r a i l o v e r t h e remaining portion (see map). The bituminous trai l w o u l d b e 8 ' w i d e w i t h a 2 ' mowed shoulder on each side and the mowed trail w o u l d be mowed 8' wide. I realize that there might be some concern reg a r d i n g t h e l a r g e s i z e o f t h e easement area; however, the City is only inter e s t e d i n a c o r r i d o r f o r t h e trail and the legal description as written was t h e s i m p l e s t w a y t o d e s c r i b e the area without surveying the actual -alignment of the trail. As we discussed -on the site, the City would be responsible for p l a c i n g t h e t r a i l w h e r e l i t t l e or no grading would be required and with minimal d i s t u r b a n c e t o t h e v e g e t a t i o n of the area. Final alignment of the trail would b e s u b j e c t t o b o a r d a p p r o v a l prior to the start of construction in order to assure mutu a l a g r e e m e n t o n t h e best route for both parties involved.

Reports of Manager of Parks and Natural Resources I. _Trail Connection at Larkspur Lane Refer to memo dated September 27, 1989 from Stu Fox, Manager of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources. Lambert said that this would connect the bituminous trail on Outlot B, Meadow Park with the 8' wide bituminous trail on the west side of Neill Lake. There is about a 450' gap in the trail at this point and the Preserve Homeowner's Association told the City it would be required to get approval of 75% of all members in the association in order to grant this easement if there were no objections. One resident objected to the trail connection and the association did not want to expend the time and money necessary to take a vote. The City has been mowing the land in between the trails. Staff is recommending that this issue be turned over to the City attorney to begin condemnation proceedings. MOTION: Joyer moved to recommend that the issue of a trail connection at Larkspur Lane be referred to the City attorney to begin condemnation proceedings. Karpinko seconded the motion and it passed 5-0. AlA, MEMORANDUM TO: THRU: FROM: DATE: Mayor and City Council Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission Carl Jullie, City Manager Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources--L- November 15, 1989 SUBJECT: Review Proposed Land Trade at Purgatory Creek Recreation Area Entry The purpose of this memo is to inform the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and the City Council that staff is discussing the possibility of trading land at the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area with the property owner to the east. Since the City acquired the 5.5 acre parcel designated as the future entry to the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area, the State has finalized the design for the intersection of the Prairie Center Drive overpass over future Highway 212. This intersection will require relocating Technology Drive to a position approximately 120' west of the park parcel's eastern boundary. This 120' x 600' parcel is relatively undevelopable; therefore, it has been suggested that the City move the park boundaries either further to the west to front on Technology Drive, or further to the east to center the parcel on the proposed full access from Prairie Center Drive. City staff would recommend considering as the first priority moving the parcel further to the east to center the park on the full access for several reasons: 1. The full access from Prairie Center Drive, rather than from Technology Drive, focuses the park on the City ring route and future downtown rather than on a frontage for Highway 5 and future Highway 212. 2. The closer the major entry can get to Single Tree Lane the closer the park can function as its original intent to draw people from the Major Center Area to this public gathering spot. 3. If the park is located between two office buildings, as has been proposed, the idea of cross easements for parking works very well, as the peak time for park use would generally be evenings and weekends when office parking lots are not in use to a great extent. 4. Moving the park to the east allows for some joint construction and cost savings relating to parking lots, pedestrian systems, landscaping, and roadways serving the park and the adjacent development. a 5. Surrounding the park with high quality deve l o p m e n t w i t h extensive landscaping would add to the feeling o f p r o v i d i n g a park in a much larger scale that what is ac t u a l l y p u b l i c l y owned. Attached to this memo is a map depicting the c o n c e p t d e s i g n f o r developing the park between an office building t o t h e w e s t a n d a medical clinic and Flagship Athletic Club t o t h e e a s t . T h i s concept provides a major full access directly i n t o t h e p a r k a n d cross easements for parking between the park an d t h e a d j a c e n t l a n d users. If this concept were adopted, staff wo u l d r e c o m m e n d t h e roadway systems and parking lots be construct e d b y t h e a d j a c e n t property developer, while the City would b e r e s p o n s i b l e f o r developing the pavilion, fountain, play area, b o a t b a s i n , e t c . If the City were able to satisfactorily make t h i s l a n d t r a d e a n d accomplish these types of cross easements, the d e v e l o p m e n t o f t h e Purgatory Creek Recreation Area entry sudden l y b e c o m e s a v e r y feasible project.

GRADING PERMIT Whether or not the City decides to trade land, i t d o e s m a k e s e n s e for the City to jointly apply for a grading p e r m i t w i t h W i l l i a m Naegele, the property owner to the east.
