Motion carried unanimously. IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Public Hearing for street name changes: Bluffs Road, Bluff Road and Homeward Fulls Road (Ordinance No. 80711) Penzel explained the reason this Public Hearing was called was because he personally received several calls due to some confusion that became quite evident when an accident or emergency situation arose on Bluffs West Boulevard in the Bluffs West Addition, where some of the emergency equipment because of the similarity between Bluff Road and Bluffs Boulevard went to the wrong street where they had severe difficulties on the scene because all of the equipment did not arrive on time. Penzel then pointed out the problem to City staff and asked what could be done about the street names. The proposal before the Council is based on that request - an attempt at arriving at the most seemingly reasonable solution to the problem. Gene Schurman, Assistant City Engineer, spoke to the proposal and answered questions of Council members. Hugh Brenner, 9599 Bluff Road, and Earl Houghton, 9795 Bluff Road, spoke against changing Bluff Road to Franlo Road. Dr. Fred Ekrem, 9845 Bluff Road, read from a letter submitted by Martin A. Diestler, ( 9905 Bluff Road, opposing the name change from Bluff Road to Franlo Road (attached as part of minutes). Dr. Ekrem also expressed his opposition to the name change. Joy and Al Brekke, 10D91 Homeward Hills Road, spoke against changing Homeward �. Hills Road to Bluffs Boulevard. (Letter dated June 3D, 198D attached as part of minutes Was also sent to the Council from the Brekke's). Captain Keith Wall, Public Safety Department, stated what happens is that the calling party gives the wrong address, i.e., Bluffs rather than Bluff Road or Bluffs Boulevard. It is not a matter of being lost,it is that the calling party gives the name to a central dispatcher incorrectly. Pauly and Dsterholt suggested there may be some merit adding West to Bluffs Boulevard (West Bluffs Boulevard) and East to Bluff Road (Bluff Road East). MOTION: Dsterholt moved, seconded by Edstrom, to continue the Public Hearing to August 5, 198D, notifying the people living on Bluffs Boulevard their street name may be changed to West Bluffs Boulevard, and the people living on Bluff Road that their name may be changed to Bluff Road East, with the Homeward Hills Road designation remaining as it is now. Motion carried unanimously. V. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS NDS. 2098 - 23D4 MOTION: Dsterholt moved, seconded by Penzel, to approve Payment of Claims Nos. 2D9B - 23D4. Roll Call Vote: Dsterholt, Penzel and Edstrom voted "aye" on Claims Nos. 2098 - 23D4; Pauly "abstained" on Claim No. 2302 and voted "aye" on all other Claims Nos. Motion carried. VI.

Communication from Abbie Picha, President of the Eden Prairie Historical Society, requesting preservation of the peony garden east of the Grill home on Pioneer Trail Director of Community Services,-Lambert explained the Eden Prairie Historical Society has some concern with the peony garden on the Grill property, and have requested that the City appropriate some funds to hire a gardener or somebody to take care of the garden. Since the letter from Mrs, Picha was received, Lambert stated he did talk to Sandy Werts, who is responsible for the Teen Work Program, and they are weeding the garden by hand which will take care of the weeding problem for the summer. However the garden should be tilled once a week and there is not time for the regular park maintenance men to do that work. Osterholt asked if there was an Eden Prairie Garden Club that might volunteer to do some of the work. Lambert commented he could talk to the Garden Club, Pauly questioned if anybody has a real idea of the value of the peonies - are they truly rare chinese specimens: Pauly suggested that somebody from the Arboretum be asked to come out and give an evaluation of the peonies. lisln.� Council Minutes - 4 - Tues„July 1, 1980 D. Communication from Abbie Picha (continued) It was the consensus of the Council to continue with the Teen Work Program at this point, and asked Mr. Lambert to explore the two alternatives - the Garden Club and an evaluation by the Arboretum as to the rarity of the plantings. Further that this information be brought back to the Council for consideration. VIII. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS A. 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 80-03, rezoning approximately 111 acres from Rural to R1-13.5 for Olympic Hills 6th Addition by The Preserve and Olympic Hills Corporation, and developer's agreement gg City Manager Ulstad spoke to the developer's agreement before the Council, explaining it is not quite the same as moved by the Council originally as the right of first refusal has been omitted as part of the agreement. The proponents ran into some difficulty as to what this did relative to their being eligible to mortgage the property. City Attorney Pauly added the proponents felt there was a problem in regard to the ability to borrow and obtain funds against the property with that kind of a provision. From the City's side of the table, it was felt that type of an agreement really did not give the City a great deal if it was subject to a lien, encumbrances, etc., in the final analysis. During the course of numerous discussions, the proponents did have occasion to discuss the matter further with their mortgage lenders and it was determined at that time that the mortgage lenders had confidence in the golf course operating as a golf course and were willing to give consent to a permanent open space easement to waive the lien (the mortgage) with regard to the open space easement, so they are looking to the security of the grounds as a golf course and not for further development. As a result of that the proponents proposed at that time to grant an open space ease- ment in perpetuity on the golf course property. The Preservation Easement refers to Outlot A of Olympic Hills 2nd Addition, and that relates back to a previous developer's agreement. The Open Space Easement; however, will cover the remainder of the property with the exception of that portion which is being contributed by The Preserve, and that is parts of something like 3 holes. However, there is an added feature to that which is some language Mr. Pauly stated he has been advised will be incorporated into the deed running from The Preserve to Olympic Hills which will provide for a reversion of those property interests to the surrounding land owners in the event the property would Permanently not be used as a golf course. There is a provision that those land owners may establish a homeowners association and maintain it as a common area or do whatever they will with it. Pauly felt this is a relatively small portion of the golf course and the majority of it is covered by the permanent open space easement. Pauly also spoke to the Escrow Agreement as submitted to the Council. Penzel asked what the rationale of The Preserve is for not providing the open space easement. Larry Peterson, representing The Preserve, stated they were looking for some security for the people that would be buying there that the property would revert back to them if Olympic Hills did not maintain it as part of their 18-hole golf course. 'Ibis was in the agreement before they talked to the City about what the City might be looking for. Peterson stated if that is problem, The Preserve is willing to drop that language and would be willing to make it an open space easement. Osterholt requested that the language in item 11 be removed from the developer's agreement as he felt it was superflous. All parties agreed to the removal of this item. /)3(2 -i Council Minutes - 5 - Tues.,July 1, 1980 A. 2nd Reading of Ordinance No, 80-03 (continued) Osterholt further commented the City with this agreement as proposed is getting into an agreement where we are really not quite sure how it is going to operate unless certain things happen in the future. Also if for whatever reasons the golf couLse ceases to function as a golf course, then what happens to that property Is it still the Olympic Hills property,and do they have certain rights to develop? City Attorney Pauly replied the property would continue to be owned by Olympic Hills Corporation or whoever is the owner at the time; however, if it is not used for a golf course it could not be developed. It must continue as open space without any structures on it other than for use as a golf course or country club. There isn't a provision in there that says if it isn't used for a golf course for three months, six months, etc., that there is a forfeiture or reverter or something of that kind. It simply says it can't be used for anything other than a golf course or a country club. Osterholt noted under the original agreement as proposed to the City by the proponents, the City would have the right of first refusal on a certain basis - that is not in the present agreement. Osterholt asked how enforceable the agree- ment is in terms of keeping it as open space? City Attorney Pauly responded in his opinion the agreement before the Council this evening is more traditionally enforceable than the other proposal. This is an easement which is authorized by Minnesota Statutes. Greg Gustafson, representing Olympic Hills, stated they would like to have the provision for The Preserve land as well as the Olympic land with the same language. Edstrom asked if the proponents are saying the reverter would be eliminated entirely. Mr. Gustafson replied in the affirmative. Penzel added this would mean all of the open space would perpetually remain open space. Osterholt asked if this should be contested, what would be the basis the City could enforce it? City Attorney Pauly replied there is a Minnesota Statute that provides for open space easements and the common property law. (Memo from City Attorney Pauly attached as part of minutes). MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Edstrom, to adopt the 2nd Reading to Ordinance No. 80-03, rezoning approximately 111 acres from Rural to R1-13.5 for Olympic Hills 6th Addition by The Preserve and Olympic Hills Corporation. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Edstrom, to approve the Developer's Agreement eliminating item 11, approval of the Open Space Agreement with Olympic Hills as well as The Preserve committing to the preservation of the total golf course in perpetuity, and approval of the Preservation Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. All agreements approved subject to the amendments discussed this evening upon City Attorney's review before signatures are affixed. Motion carried unanimously. /P(1 Council Minutes - 6 - Tues.,July 1, 1980 B. Ordinance No. 80-16, requiring permits for the discharge of Firearms and amending Ordinance Nos. 337 and 347 Mr. Peter Loscheider, 17660 West 78th Street, spoke on behalf of the Hunting Zone Committee in favor of the change included in Ordinance No. 80-16. Further if any questions arise regarding the hunting zones in Eden Prairie, the committee would be willing to meet again and review same. MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Pauly, to adopt the 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 80-16, requiring permits for the discharge of Firearms and amending Ordinance Nos 337 and 347.

XI. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Edstrom, to adjourn the Council meeting at n.nn nu Mnfin.. „nonimn.eel„ /j/ . • • • Martin A. Dlestler 9905 Bluff Road Eden Prairie, Minn. 55344 June 30, 1980 To Whom it May Concirn: as to Bluff Road It is impossible for me to attend the meeting of July 1, 1980 as I have suffered a severs heart attack and am in the hospital. I have lived on Bluff Road almost 30 years and other residences have been here as long or longer. In fact Er. Rusted himself lived on Bluff Road at one time. There can be no argument that Bluff Road existed long before Bluffs Blvd. became a name in any ones mind. Bluff Road describes the situation as distinctly a road running atop a Bluff. Bluffs Blvd. certainly does not describe the Homeward Hills present location. Bluffs Blvd. now consists of a cul de sacs running off the proposed Blvd. Each cul de sac is also called Bluffs Blvd. Any confusion during an emergency would be caused by: not the confusion between Road and Blvd. but by which one of the Bluffs Blvd. one was looking for. If this isn't enough confusion, another cul de sae called Bluff Drive is within a couple of miles of the Bluffs Blvd. cul de sacs. We claim the right to use the word Bluff Road by about 30 years priority, this regardless of the numbers of people involved who have lived in the neighborhood a yssr or less. Also it should be recognized there are many costs involved, postage, stenographic work, bank shacks, etc., etc., etc. and these costs will fall most heavily on those who have lived hare the longest. JUL 1198�1 June 30, 1980 ( Dear Eden Prairie City Councils We are writing to you to oppose the suggested change in the name of Homeward Hills Road to Bluffs Blvd. We find the proposed change objectionable on aesthetic, historic and practical grounds. A recent letter to us suggested that the proposed name change is propted by possible confusion over street names and addresses during emergencies. We would suggest that • the possibility for confusion is far greater in tampering with a major Eden Prairie street which has gone under the name of Homeward Hills Road since the 1950's. The street originally took its name from the name given our family farm by my parents. More recently, both Homeward Hills Addition and Hillsborough have taken their name from the proximity of the road, the name of which you are proposing to change. It seems to us that there is far greater chance of confusion in the change than in leaving the name of the road as•it is. The name Bluffs Blvd. which has no roots in Eden Prairie history, also in confusing as much of its length would be nowhere near the River Bluffs for which it is named. We appreciate your seeking outour thoughts on this proposal. As the persons with the longest period of res- idence adjacent to the road, and the direct descendents of the persons involved in the selection process, we would urge you not to make these proposed changes. We realize that the current situation is not perfect, and we would be happy to work with you toward a mutually satisfactory solution. Sincerel . Al and oyrBrekke 10091 Homeward Hills Road Eden Prairie, Mn. 553k V'$ 4 MEMORANDUM y TO: Mayor and City Council THROUGH: Roger Ulstad, City Manager • FROM: City Attorney, Roger A. Pauly and R. Thomas Greene, Jr. RE: Enforceability of Open-Space Easements Incidental to the platting and zoning of piopt-rty known as Olympic Hills Sixth Addition, the developers have agreed to give to the City an easement p for open-space purposes over the Olympic Hills golf course which is described in the easement agreement. An easement is the right given to another to use the land of the grantor of the easement in the manner described in the easement. It may be positive, that is, granting to the easement holder the right to perform acts on the servient land, or it may be negative, that is, prohibiting the easement grantor from performing certain acts on his land. It may also be personal to the grantee or appurtenant to land owned by the grantee. The former type of easement is called an easement "in gross" the latter, an easement "appurtenant." The rules of real property regarding the enforceability of easements are similar to the rules concerning the enforceability of other interests in land. An easement must generally be in writing in order to be enforceable. It must set forth with sufficient clarity the extent of the land affected, the uses of the land which either are permitted, in the case of a positive easement, or pro- hibited, in the case of a negative easement, and the duration of the easement, whether for a term of years or perpetual. The open-space easement relating to Olympic Hills golf course meets these criteria, subject to revision, filing con- ditions and termination pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement among the parties. There is one aspect of the enforceability of easements which is unusual. Courts have long held appurtenant easements to be transferable, that is, to run with the land. However, since easements in gross are deemed to be personal to the grantee, courts have frequently held that they may not be transferred by the benefited party to a third party and that an easement in gross does not survive the transfer by the easement grantor of his land to a third party. It is against this background that conservation and open-space easements have been the subject of considerable discussion in recent years. See, for example, • The Hennepin Lawyer, January-February, 1976, p. 24, "Conservation Easements"; Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Journal, Fall, 1979, p. 540, "Environ n ntal Con- servation and Historic Preservation through Recorded Land-Use Agrw,Lnts." The ((�� i?�L1 • • • Memorandum to Mayor and -2- City Council Through Roger Ulstad, City Manager uncertainties regarding the permissibility of such easements and whether they were in fact intended tote appurtenant or in gross were essentially eliminated by the enactment,in 1974, of Minnesota Statutes Secticns 84.64 and 84.65. As originally enacted, the statutes authorized the acquisition of conservation easements by the Camuissioner of Natural Resources and nonprofit corporations only. In 1979, the statutes were amended to authorize the acquisition of con- �ff servation easements by statutory cities. The statutes, as amended, effectively eliminate any question that open-space easements granted to statutory cities are valid and that they are enforceable in the manner of appurtenant easements, regardless of whether they are deemed to be appurtenant or in gross. There is thus little question in Minnesota that open-space easements are as enforceable as any other easement. 2-7 in) UNAPPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1980 7:30 PM, CITY HALL COUNCIL MEMBERS: Mayor Wolfgang Penzel, Dean Edstrom, Dave Osterholt, Sidney Pauly and Paul Redpath • COUNCIL STAFF PRESENT: City Manager Roger K.

PUBLIC HEARINGS a A. Anderson Lakes Parkway Neighborhood Shopping Center by Eden Prairie Real Estate Investment Corporation. Request for PUD Concept approval and preliminary plat 1 approval for 2 restaurants and 2 commercial sites. Located East of US 169 and ) South of Anderson Lakes Parkway (Resolution No. BO-125 - PUD; and Resolution No. 80-126 - preliminary plat) 1 a Richard Krier, Westwood Plannina & Engineering. representing the proponents, 1 spoke to the proposal which consists of restaurant and convenience type 1 facilities, and to the meetings held with the neighborhood. Mr. Krier stated 4. the proponents are willing to pay their fair share for the traffic signal at Highway #169 and Anderson Lakes Parkway. Planning Director Enger explained the Planning Commission reviewed this proposal 1. on 6/9/80 and recommended to the City Council approval of the PUD concept and the preliminary plat subject to the staff report dated June 5, 1980, and denial of the zoning until resolution of the intersection and signals and submission of specific plans for each lot. Enger added the Parks, Recreation & Natural k Resources Commission reviewed this proposal on June 16, 1980,and recommended unanimously to the City Council approval of the PUD request subject to the Staff Report dated June 5, 198D. Pauly asked if it has been determined if $20,000 is a fair share for the proponents to pay for the signal at Highway #169 and Anderson Lakes Parkway. City Engineer 1 Jullie replied he thought $20,000 would be a reasonable share. 1 Council Minutes - 3 - Tues.,July 15, 1980 A. Anderson Lakes Parkway Neighborhood Shopping Center (continued) Pauly further questioned if it was made part of the formal Planning Commission's motion that a fast food franchise would not be put into Outlot A? Enger replied in the affirmative. • Enger added the Comprehensive Guide Plan indicates medium density residential on Outlot A and the previous PUD had also illustrated medium density residential. Those are the official documents which indicate the plans and uses the City expects. Osterholt indicated he has a problem with this request for PUD approval as everything is planned except one outlot. Feels that Outlot A should also be designated otherwise there is no merit to the PUD concept on that basis, Osterholt further added he has a problem with the sight distance and does not like the building so close to the single family homes. Penzel commented the usual approach of the City is to strongly urge a mall-type single structure rather than a multiplicity of individual buildings stretched along the highways. Kay Schumacher, one of the owners of the property, addressed the issue of the size of the buildings and the type of usage. Steve Birke, 8518 Darnel, member of the Board of Directors of the Lake Eden South Homeowners Association,expressed concerns about the proposal: 1) traffic - somehow they would like the stoplight at Anderson Lakes Parkway and Highway #169 tied in with the development so that they don't end up with the development there and the street light coming 3 or 4 years later, 2) would not like the entire development to be built at one time and requested that the building closest to the single family homes be a second phase, and 3) a wish by some of the residents that the restaurant be switched with the one on the corner to the one by the lake. A concern was also brought up regarding the amount of trash or litter that goes along with a fast food restaurant. Mike Jiran, 8936 Darnel Road, asked that assurance be given that there will not be two fast food restaurants to double the traffic generation. Penzel explained if the Council were inclined to give approval of the PUD concept this evening, it could in its approval specify the types of permitted use and exclude others. Unless something is actually rezoned and built, future Councils may at their discretion approve or disapprove of any proposal brought before them. Simply because a PUD has been approved at one juncture does not mean it cannot be changed at some time down the road. Osterholt asked for a recommendation from City Planner Enger on Outlot A. Enger replied in the configuration the proponents have laid out for the site he feels multiple density housing of that sort perhaps would not be appropriate entering through a commercial area. Elderly housing, if there were funding available for it, perhaps would be good in that area because it puts it in close proximity to goods and services. A church would be an excellent use there, or some type of day care facility or institutional use would also be a good user. Enger commented it is an ideal marketing parcel for some type of office. Mr. Birke stated he lives on one of the lots adjacent to Outlot A and his personal feeling is he would like to see some kind of a 1-story office building vs. multi- density residential behind his house - definitely opposed to a retail use. A church would also be acceptable. /G /..") Council Minutes - 4 - Tues„July 15, 1980 A. Anderson Lakes Parkway Neighborhood Shopping Center (continued) MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Pauly, to continue the Public Hearing on the Anderson Lakes Parkway Neighborhood Shopping Center to August 5, 1980, and instruct City Staff to meet with Mr. Schumacher to try and work out a workable solution. Motion carried unanimously. Penzel suggested the Council might want to consider item VI. C. before item III. B. MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Pauly, to withhold action on III. B. until after consideration of VI. C. Motion carried unanimously. VI. C. 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 80-13, rezoning from Rural to 1-2 9.95 acres into 1 lot and 1 outlot for Braun's Fashions, Inc., and developer's agreement Penzel explained he had a call from Bill Bearman, a neighboring resident of this proposal, who expressed concern about the traffic situation on Valley View Road, As much as the adjustment that may have to be accomplished with Valley View in order to make the Braun proposal a feasible and viable situation as far as road access is concerned, it was Mr, Bearman's concern that the ultimate direction of Valley View to the west and south of his parcel should be determined and the access of Washington Avenue and Valley View Road should be improved because of the tremendous increase in traffic which has occurred over the last couple of years. He feels those situations are very critical in order to make the whole area work out successfully. Mr. Bearman is resigned to the fact there is going to be development, and it is going to have an impact on his property. According to Bearman,his neighbor, Mr. Hillger, has the same concerns. Bearman requested that the Council consider instructing staff to prepare a feasibility report for necessary improvements on Valley View Road in order to alleviate both the access problem presently existing on the east side, as well as the routing that will be required as the Norseman Industrial Parks expand to the properties to the south of the road. Pauly asked if the benefitted property owners would be assessed, City Manager Ulstad replied he did visit with the proponents as well as some of the other people in the area, and also met with Hennepin County. The problem the Council was talking about previously that relates specifically to Braun's is just one of the major problems that presently exist in the area, The City purchased a triangular piece of property right next to Detroit Diesel, so that at some point in time the Council could hold a Public Hearing and realign Valley View Road so that it would coincide with the interchange of County Road 18. Also Mr. Helle requested some improvements to his property at the last time he was before the Council. The thought is that a road should be extended south from Valley View to approximately 74th Street and then east to County Road 18, for which Mr. Helle would petition. In discussing the improvements to Valley View, the reduction of the grade, etc., Hennepin County has committed to surfacing that portion of Valley View. By expanding this project the County would be involved with the signal r installation and some additional improvements in the Valley View/Washington Avenue location. So far as assessments are concerned, the feasibility report would point out how that area should be assessed and it should include a major portion of this sector in terms of sharing at least the signalization costs. As pointed out to the Council when the City purchased the triangle, it was assumed it would be assessed back to the property owners at that point in time that an improvement was established in the area. Ulstad added whether Braun's proposal is approved or denied, a problem still exists. A Minnesota Vikings representative also brought up , the problem of traffic that exists on Washington Avenue while they are attempting to get out on County Road 18. The Vikings are in accord with sharing some of the Council Minutes - 5 - Tues.,July 15, 1980 VI. C. 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 80-13 (continued) Ulstad asked City Engineer Jullie to outline the plans the Highway Department has relative to Washington Avenue and the interchange of County Road 18. City Engineer Jullie explained the State is proposing to essentially make Washington Avenue a oneway from County Road 18 going west, so you can only come in that way, you can't go back out at the south end of Washington Avenue where it connects to County Road 18. This will force all of that traffic up Washington Avenue to this intersection. MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Redpath, to direct Staff to prepare a Feasibility Report for Valley View Road and the surrounding area, Motion carried unanimously. City Manager Ulstad recommended approval of the 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 80-13 and approval of the developer's agreement. Ulstad added all documents have been signed and reviewed by the City's legal counsel. City Attorney Pauly stated there is a provision in the developer's agreement that should be clarified to make sure that the City doesn't have a contractual obligation to improve Washington Avenue other than the normal procedures in accordance with the Local Improvement Law. MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt the 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 80-13, rezoning from Rural to I-2 9,95 acres into 1 lot and 1 outlot for Braun's Fashions. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION: Redoath moved, seconded by Osterholt, to approve the developer's agreement with the aforementioned modifications to be made by the City Attorney. Motion carried unanimously. III. B. Request for Municipal Industrial Development Bond approval in the amount of $2,300,D00.00 for Braun-Kaiser (Resolution No. 80-133) City Manager Ulstad explained all documents have been submitted and are in order. Bob Levy, bond counsel with Thompson, Nielson, Klaverkamp & James, spoke to the proposal and answered questions of Council members, along with Gil Kaiser, one of the partners of the Braun-Kaiser Company, MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Osterholt, to close the Public Hearing and adopt Resolution No. 80-133, granting preliminary approval for Municipal Industrial Development Bonds in the amount of $2,300,000.00 for Braun-Kaiser.

In order to accomplish these changes, we need municipal concurrence. We have City Resolution No. 1181 requesting CSAH designation of Mitchell Road north of TH 5. Now we need a resolution concurring with the change of County Road 4 to CSAH 4. We, therefore, request that the City adopt a resolution of concurrence similar to the attached sample resolution, at the earliest date possible. Upon receiving your resolution we'll complete the designation changes with Mn/DOT. This action does not effect jurisdiction of the road. Hennepin County will retain roadway jurisdiction. Completing this action means that CR 4 will be eligible for State Aid construction and maintenance funds. Please contact me if you have any questions. • Sincerely, IA /7(41(' D. B.

Located North of C. TH 5 and within Lake Trail Estates. li The Planner gave a summary of the site explaining that the church j has revised its plans to provide a 25' wide access easement across the front of the property and parking has been moved away from the residential area. He also stated that the frontage road is not proposed to be built by the church. At this time the City has no assurance how and when the frontage road will be built. Levitt inquired how a project can be approved without any road access. Dave Sauer,Building Chairman 8or Christ Lutheran Church, stated that they have received a letter from Lance Norderhus in whiich Ie offered to build a reciprocal easement,to give the right to use his parking space, and to ;. construct the frontage rand. He stated that Eagle Enterprises is currently in the process of drawing up a contract for the easement. He also stated that he is not sure of the timing of when the road will be built, and that it is his understanding that Mr. Norderhus is waiting forthe possibility of C.D.B.G. funding for the elderly housing. Bearman stated that he feels that the timing of the frontage road is a very important point in regards to this project. Levitt inquired if the church was planning to build the road access from the Carnelian Lane enterance into the church's first phase parking lot. • Sauer replied affirmative. Levitt inquired how the Commission can get a guarantee that the entire road would be built. The Planner replied that a developers agreement could be drawn up to specifically state who would build the road, when and what the assurance is that the road would be built. Sauer stated that they feel that the portion of the access from the Carnelian Lane entrarce into the church's first phase parking lot was an adequate access. Martinson stated that he feels the proper solution would be for the church to put in the portion of the road that goes from the entrance of Carnelian' Lane to the church's first phase parting lot and build it to the same standards as the frontage road so that it could be connected to the frontage road when it is con- structed. /39) Unapproved 'i, Plannuing Commission , _nutes -4- January 28, 1980 Sauer stated that it is important for the church to proceed becuasc of the availability of funding from their parent synod. Levitt inquired if when approving the Eagle Enterpirse pro- g ject there were any contingencies as to the construction of this frontage road. Tom Walters,6780 Meadow Lane stated that he had researched the minutes regarding the Eagle Enterprise project in preparation for this meeting and felt that there were no contingencies regarding the service road. The Planner responded that Eagle Enterprises approval was made contingent upon the extension of the service road across the f front of their property to the east boundary of the church. Martinson inquired if Mr. Sauer has talked to Lance Norderhus • recently. -Sauer replied that they have talked to him and Mr. Norddrhus currently drawing up a document for the easement. MOTION: Bentley moved, Martinson seconded that the Commission 9, recommend to the City Council approval of the site plan for Christ Lutheran Church dated 1/20/80, per the staff report dated 1/2S/80 specifically contingent upon an ultimate agree- ment acceptable to the City on the building of the service road and that an agreement be reached on the timing and the reponsibility of this service road prior to building permit issuance. Motion carried 4 - 1. (Bearman voting nay). Bearman stated that he felt that it was the responsibility of the church to get this road built. D. REQUEST TO GIVE A PRESENTATION of up-coming Viking Football team proposal. Don Brauer, planner for the Vikings, gave a brief presentation on what is planned for this Viking team facility. He explained the location of this proposed site and the type of preservation and grading they have planned for the site. • Grady Alderman, Viking's project director, stated that one of the reasons this location was selected was because of the privacy it provides. He explained that they plan to construct • two fullsize practice fields, 'a 70-yard-long field of arti- ficial turf that in cold weather could be covered by an air- supported plastic bubble, and a building that will be an office and training facility. He explained that the building would have training facilities on the first floor and offices • on the second and that the Vikings arc looking into the possibility of part of the building being earth sheltered and solar heated. /Z9a C71-1.:11/\I I IhNC 'i' I T • s � r I 1..

If the City decided against buying this golf course the developer would probably sell it to a different developer. Torjescn inquired wherethe development would obtain its second access. . The Planner replied that the approveal of the development should be contingent upon a second hard surface way out via Sunnybrook Road l and Homeward Hills Road to 169.

Motion carried 6 - 1. (Levitt voting nay). FJI REVIEW OF CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH SITE PLANS. Located north of "' T.H. 5 and within Lake Trail Estates. The Planner gave a brief explaination of the development explaining that there arc two critical items in reviewing this site plan from the City stand point. One being the provision of an access ease- ment to the adjacent property to the east to provide access to the proposed elderly housing. . The second being that be- cause of the Church parking lot's close proximity to future surroungind homes it is critical that an adequate job of screening the parking areas be done initially. In the current plan the area • between the future parking and the future lot line is only 10 feet and the evergreen trees shown are 20 feet of center and 5 feet in height. This is hardly enough area or material to provide adequate screening from the adjacent lots. Mr. Ed Kodet (architect for Christ Lutheran) gave a brief presentation explaining the site. He explained that the development ivuld include the church,• ( a school, a play area, and the access. He stated that the access • the City prefers would cause traffic to go through the Prairie Village Mall parking lot in order to avoid the traffic of the inter- section of County road a and Ilirhway S in getting to the church. He then showed the access the developer is proposing. / pV • approved . December 10, 1979 Planning Commission FL..utes -10- Martinson inquired what type of play area the developer is planning. Ir Kodet replied that this play area would be for the children in the school, it would include open game fields. Levitt inquired why the proponent was against the City's idea for a service road. Kodet replied that they felt that this would cause people to use the church property to get to Prairie Village Mall with out goingha through the intersection of 4 E 5. He also stated that by land the access as the City plans the church will have to give up which they would like to use for the play area. . Gartner inquired what type of school is the developer planning for this site. David Sauer, Building Chairman, stated that this school would be a . parochial school for the grades of kindergarten to 8th grade. Levitt inquired if there was any specific acreage that must be met . in building a school. The Planner said none that he was aware of. • MOTION: Levitt moved, Bentley seconded that the Commission return , ( the Christ Lutheran Church plan back to the proponent for modifi- cations according to staff recommendations. Motion carried 7 - 0. IV. OLD BUSINESS • . November 26, 1979 minute corrections. Page 3 paragraph 4 the word "proposing" should be spelled "proposing".

ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Martinson moved, Retterath seconded to adjournment at 11:30. Motion carried 7 - 0. . /VS Co STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission • FROM: Chris Enger, Director of Planning PROPONENT: Christ Lutheran Church REQUEST: Site Plan Approval LOCATION: North of TH 5, west of Prairie Village Mall As the Planning Commission had requested, the site plan for the church has been revised to provide a 25' wide access easement across the front of the property and parking has been moved away from the residential area. Parking will be provided in phases and a reciprocal parking arrangement has been arrived at in order for the church to utilize the office parking to the east during the peak periods. The area of parking dotted shown as future in the northwest corner of the site may not have to be built depending upon the success of the reciprocal parking arrangement. Berms have been included in the grading plan along the north and south portions of the parking areas. Detailed landscaping plans will be required prior to building permit issuance. The frontage road is not proposed to be built by the church. At this time we have no assurance how and when the frontage road will be built. RECOMMENDATIONS: The staff recommends approval of the site plan for Christ Lutheran Church dated 1/20/80, provided that a time schedule and responsi- bility for construction of the service road be addressed by the church acceptable to the City. • 2'lmn STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission FROM:. Chris Enger, Planning Director • DATE: December 4, 1979 PROJECT: Lake Trail Estate/Christ Lutheran Church REQUEST: Review of church site plan as required by Development Agreement at time of rezoning. BACKGROUND '. Christ Lutheran Church property is located within the Lake Trail Estate plat and is approximately 3 acres,directly west of Prairie Village Mall. At the time of the approval of the Lake Trail Estates plat for 43 single family lots, three duplex lots, and the Christ Lutheran Church, the exact site plans for the Church were not known. Under the 2evelopers agreement of August 30, 1978, item 7 states "that the owner shall submit detailed site plans for the Church (to be located on parcel 3, Exhibit A) to the City for kk` review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. 4 Enclosed with this staff report is a drawing dated November 28, 1979 showing 6 the initial phase 1 construction for the Church, future phases 2 and 3, and conceptual landscaping. Two items are critical in the reviewing of this site plan from the City stand point. One being the provision of an access easement toihe adjacent property to the east to provide the access to the proposed elderly housing shall be required. The second being that because of the Church parking lots'close probmity to future surrounding homes it is critical that an adequate job of screening the parking areas be done initially. In the current nlan the area between the future parking and the future lot line is only 10 feet and the evergreen trees shown are 20 feet of center and 5 feet in height. This is hardly enough area or material to provide adequate screening from the adjacent lots. Enclosed is Exhibit D from the Developers agreement illus- trating the proximity of homes to the Church site and the requirement for installation of a 6 foot sidewalk through the Church property. RECOMMENDATIONS i The Planning Staff recommends that the Planning Commission return the site I plan to the proponent to be modified to provide the parking at an area of the i site which would not be so intrusive into the residential neighborhood. In addition a 30 foot easement to the Eagle Enterprise site should he provided by the Church for access elderly housing. The sidewalk requirement and other stipulations of the August 30, 1978 Developers Agreement shall be adhered to. Zq9 I • .j ' ..\%, .i . YN ! L-f \ j \ • k.I .

Developement, Inc. Request for PUD Concept approval on 80 acres for single family, townhouse, nuad- raminiums, and commercial use; rezoning from Rural to RM 2.5; prelim- inary plat approval, and approval of an Environmental Assessment Work- sheet. Located East of Mitchell Road, South of Old Farm Quads, and North of Ridgewood West. A continued public hearing. Mr. Bill Dolan, project designer, stated that there is a major east/west street with 60' R.O.W. with a 5' concrete sidewalk. All public streets have a 2B' wide surface except there is 1 private street 2B0' in length. There is also additional �. berm and plantings to screen from adjacent uses. Dolan stated that the landscaping on the 7/10 plan is in addition to the original plan. Dolan stated that an Anderson Lakes Parkway petition has been sinned by Centex, Northrup King, Mitchell Lake Townhouse Development, and Old Farm Development. Dolan appreciated Staff and Commission patience in working out the project specifics. tThe Planner noted the revised plan contains 19 standard quad units and 19 new quad units. The Planner suggested detailed landscaping plans with sizes&type be submitted so the screening from the north and south loop roads can be adequately reviewed. lgo7 approved Planning Commission Minutes -2- July 14, 1980 The Planner also suggested the trail easementsshould contain 6' wide 4" deep asphalt surfacing and that the Engineering Department review road locations and off-sets. The Planner stated storm protection is unanswered. Dolan stated that a building 2800 Sq. ft. is more durable than single family. Four units together will form an X and stairways provide strength that could be utilized for protection. He added no quads in the Twin Cities are required to provide storm protection. He felt they can educate the owners where the best . protection exists. Bentley questioned the trail along the Southwest border. Dolan answered that yes, there is a tnail linking the South loop road to the West of phase 1. Torjesen stated that the garages on the South side appear to be small. Dolan answered that those on the South side are single car garages. Bearman expressed dislike for the road layout and inquired if alternatives were investigated. Dolan replied other designs were unsuitable because of the land configuration, soils, grades, etc. Bearman asked if anyone in the audience had comments. None were raised. Motion 1 ( Bentley moved to close the public hearing on Deer Creek PUD and Platting. Gartner seconded, motion carried 6-0. Motion 2 Bentley moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the Deer Creek PUD based upon the plan dated July 10 and the staff report of June 20, 1980 and the following recommendations: 1. That the parts be deeded to the public, if to be public, at time of phase 1 development. 2. That access to Mitchell Road be constructed with phase 1. 3. That landscaping along the south loop road be submitted to City Staff for review and approval prior to building permit.issuance. 4. That all walkways be hard surfaced. 5. That Public Safety meet with project architects to work out some type of storm protection. Retterath seconded, motion carried 6-0. Motion 3.

Located South of Co. Rd. 60 & North of 494. A public hearing. Bearman stated that he is unhappy about the graphics being fillegible in the brochure. Mr. Putnum, Hustad Development Corp., introduced Tom Ryan and Dan O'Brian. He reviewed the project location, steep slopes, general off/com uses in PUD, orien- tation, and surrounding uses of:KRSI, Super Valu, and Condon-Naegele. He said first phase rezoning will be grading of 8 acres for three buildings and the site will be restored as per watershed requirements. Mr. Ryan stated that they build resorts, commercial/industrial & townhouses. They want to develop an office park with ownership of common areas by association. Dan O'Brian, architect, stated that the buildings would,range from 3800 - 9000 sq. ft., floor elevations would vary from 870 - 895, the buildings are designed to be residential in character with wood exteriors with brick trim and sloped shingled roofs. Mr. O'Brian then reviewed the signage proposed. The Planner reviewed the staff report recommending additional material be submitted. Retterath asked how high buildings would be. Mr. Putnum estimated to the 925 -430 ft elevation. ( Retterath questioned, out of the 7.4 acres, what is the existing highest elevation. Putnum replied that maybe 910 - 915 ft. Retterath asked is the estimated 85% - 95% grading for the 7.4 acres or total site, Putnum replied that it was the overall site. /909 . • June 23, 1980 Orrin Thompson's new townhome Models #82 and #81 1 Design Criteria For some time, the company's marketing department has felt the need to offer a wider townhome line and is pleased to present below its new model townhomes #82 and #81. These new products have been developed to meet the following criteria: • 1. Strong appeal to prospective buyers. 2. Enhancement of neighborhood aesthetics. 3. Lower occupancy costs. • General Description The new model townhomes #82 and #81 have been carefully designed to take advantage of the concepts of the most successful attached housing being offered in the Twin Cities area - the 4 plex design with groundskeeping and exterior maintenance contracted for and controlled by an association comprised of the owners themselves. The new models #82 and #81 retain these features and utilize modified site designs and building plans which offer significant cost savings for the buyers. Most importantly, the buyer's cost savings are achieved largely through plan and design efficiences rather than through a reduction of finished space. r x Model #82 townhome • This is a two story townhome with 1,092 square feet of living space. The main floor contains a large living room, dining room, kitchen and utility/ storage area. The second floor has 2 large bedrooms, a full bath, and large closet areas. There is a private 2 car garage conveniently located just 16' from the home. The garage and a privacy wall form a private court- yard adjacent to each home. Each home also has a privately owned front yard. Each owner owns his home and his lot, just as in any single family home. Each home has its own exterior entrance at yard level. The exterior of the model #82 is impressive with its full 2 story size, its differeing roof levels and covered porch entryway. Textured aluminum siding of varying colors and full brick garage fronts add further to the pleasing, high value appearance. • • Model #81 townhome The model #81 has exterior characteristics similar to the 182 and is a one story home of 700 square feet of living space. The living area consists of one large bedroom and full bath plus living room, dining room, kitchen and utility/storage areas. A 14' x 22' private garage is standard in the model #81, or the buyer may purchase a 20' x 22' garage. Either size garage will fit on the lot. The lot sizes of the model #81 and #82 are identical, so that the homes are interchangeable on the lots in groups according to market demand. • �910 • Site Plan The development plan of the models #82'and #81 gives each home a high degree ir of privacy. Each home is reached by a private driveway which is restricted to the use of only those townhomes having access to it. Each driveway is gently curved and each townhome follows the curve, enhancing the architectural affect. All exteriors and all driveways are maintained by the association. Cost Savings • A large saving is achieved in street utilities. The plat is designed so that every other private street can be installed without utilities. Also, there is some increase in density resulting in additional savings to the owners. A theoretical maximum is approximately 8 units per.acre, but in practice it • will probably be less. A detached garage is used in place of the comparatively expensive tuck-under garage used in other quads. Also, there is a saving in not offering ..unfinished expansion space in these models. Additionally, there are square footage con- struction savings in the model #82 because of the efficient two-story style. 'Summary - Attainment of design criteria • 1. Strong appeal to prospective buyers. The models #82 and #81 provide spacious finished living areas for 2 bedroom and 1 bedroom townhomes. The 2 bedroom model, while not providing space for future expansion, has more finished living area than is currently provided in the base price of the Orrin Thompson Model #88 quad or in similar products offered by other builders. 2. Enhancement of neighborhood aesthetics. The visual Oifferentiation provided by the new models in each townhome area will by itself bh of significant aesthetic value. In addition, the new model townhomes have a high value exterior appearance and are built in attractively curved configurations. Each home and all common areas are professionally landscaped as part of the base price. The relationship of the homes to one another and to their gently curving driveways creates a very desirable overall environment. 3. Lower occupancy costs. The model #82 is currently being sold at a base price pp of $9,000 less than the model #88 and the model #81 is $16,500 below the model #88. As a result of these differences, and because of the larger number of options our buyers purchase in the higher priced townhomes, the debt-free income required to make . the average purchase of these products (with an average downpayment on an FHA loan) is: #88 $28,000 per year #82 $23,500 per year #81 $20,500 per year (In all cases buyers can qualify with lower incomes than shown - if they have larger than average downpayments or are eligible for lower interest VA loans). While no reliable figures exist which tell the exact percentage of people "priced out" of the housing.market, these new products can obviously open the door for many, particularly for those who will accept attached housing. The prices and incomes necessary for purchase of these new products represent almost a 2-year "rollback" in townhome prices in the Twin Cities area. lq II _ ... • • 3 - Orrin Thompson's new townhome Models •BY and 181 • Also, since the monthly payments are not too much greater than the rental payments many people are making (particularly if an after-tax comparison is made), these products could make a contribution toward freeing up rental units in this market. Note: Copyrights for both models have been filed and all floor plans indicate a copyrights • • • • wr June 23, 1980 Preliminary sales information, Orrin Thompson New Townhome Models #81 and #82 ir Preliminary sales have been excellent. Furthermore, the intended buyer is being reached. Model #82 Buyer Profile 1. Almost all are married couples, both working. 2. Median age = 26 3. Median combined debt-free income is $23,500, 4. There is approximately one child in every 5 units. They are all pre- . school age so far. 5. Almost all buyers are coming directly out of rental apartments. ' a Model 81 Buyer Profile • So far these are almost all single people, about 25 years old, all from rental apartments, with a median income of $20,500. Options Purchased In an effort to avoid,tempting prospects to reach beyond their means, we f- have held down the options offered. So far, the options purchased average about $3,000 per unit. This is a substantial contrast with our model #88 quad townhome where the options purchased average close to $7,000. (The big difference is in the walkouts, the sliding glass doors, the decks and the lower level finishing options offered in the #88, but not in the #82 or #81.) Major options purchased in the #82/#81 models have been as follows: Fireplaces 45% (all three of these options can be added Finish z bath(82 only)35% later.

Mr. Bill Dolan, project designer, distributed additional housing material illustrating the size and construction of the units to the coinission and staff. Mr. Dolan then reviewed the following revisions made to the site plan(plan shown that night): increase in size of first phase project area by 1 acre, inclusion of a road connection to Mitchell Road, increase to size of the totlot area, additional landscaping through the use of bei�ss, fences , and plantings. ' I • • Approved Planning Commission Minutes -2- June 23, 1980 . a 28 foot hard surface street which doubles onsite parking, preservation of maples and various stands of pines, 15% of the site is in open space or totlot ' use, and 66% of the site will be covered with grass or some other type of vegetation. • Mr. Dolan requested the following variances : 30 foot setback for homes from the east/west street& 25 feet from the units to side streets ( with a 30 foot setback for garages to side streets). Mr. Dolan asked the Commission to continue •; the item to July 14 for action to allow staff time to review the revisions. Mr. Enger felt the revised plan shown tonight illustrates better possibilities than the plan reviewed in the revised staff report. He believed the new informa- tion warrants additional review and report, and that the revisions made to the plan opens the door to having this new type of quad which will reach people of incomes which may not now be able,to purchase a home in Eden Prairie. The Planner added that the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission still has some concerns over the geometrics of the totlot, but the new plan may answer some of those concerns. Mr. Enger noted that the revised plan has adjusted the distance between the fronts of quads from 72 to 106 feet thereby opening up the character of the project. Mr. Enger informed the commission that the Public Safety Department is concerned that the project, having a density of around 5 units/acre, does not illustrate any severe weather protection for the residents on an individual basis or group. I Mr. Sutliff asked how much additional a basement would cost. Mr. Fierke, Vice- President of Marketing, Orrin Thompson Homes, replied that the cost would increase similar to the quads presently being marketed. He added that the present quads being built do not have basements, but instead have earth up against the sides to create the illusion of a basement. Sutliff then inquired if a furnace pit or some other type of individual protection could be added. Mr. Fierke replied the labor and cost would be too high. Sutliff asked if the City ordinances require a minimum house size. The Planner replied negative. Retterath inquired as to the cost of the units proposed. Mr. Fierke estimated the 2 story structure at $60,000, and the single story structure at $53,000. Mr. Levitt believed additional buffering should be created between the property's southern boundary and the Centex single family development to the south. Torjesen asked if the densities and land uses shown . the other phases of the site were consistent with the Guide Plan. The Planner replied affinnative. Mr. Dolan stated the plan presented tonight illustrates reduction in the density in Area B , inclusion of more open space in Area B, and a trail system through the property. Torjesen expressed his concern that the development of the project follow the construction of Anderson Lakes Parkway. The Planner believed some arrangements could be made, but perhaps a first phase construction of the quads could exit Mitchell Road instead of Anderson Lakes Parkway since the parkway may not be completed until next Fall. • • Approved .Planning Commission Minutes -3- June 23, 1980 ir Bearman asked the proponents if final design of the revised plan could be accomplished by the next meeting, July 14th. Mr. Dolan replied affirmative. • Mr, Bearman informed the proponents that he does not desire to,,see any private streets in the development. Mr. Levitt and Mr. Torjesen believed the housing tyP e is acceptable and feel. considerable progress has been made, but still have concern relative to the appropriateness of the terrain for this type of unit.• .

Development, Inc. REQUEST: PUD Concept approval for 80 acres of mixed residential and a small convenience store. Rezoning to RM 2.5 for 152 quad units on approximately 24 acres LOCATION: Bordered on the west by Mitchell Road, on the South by Centex's Ridgewood West, on the north by Burning Tree Apartments (construction pending), and on the east by Purgatory Creek. • REFER TO: May 9, 1980 Staff Report BACKGROUND: This project was returned to the proponent for revision at the May 12, 1980 Planning Commission Meeting according to staff recommendations of the May 9 staff report. Following that, the proponent requested an additional continuance from the June 9 meeting to the June 23 meeting in order to allow time for revisions. A. The current plan, June 20, 1980, reflects the following changes: 1. One quad building has been eliminated reducing the total units from 152 to 148 in the first phase rezoning. 2. A road connection has been planned to Mitchell Road, it is unclear whether it would be built at this time. 3. A .75 totlot has been added to the center of the project. 4. Distances between the new quad units perpendicular to the access streets have been increased from 72 to 106 feet. 5. The pond areas and evergreen tree area on the site have been preserved. 6. Landscaping plans and grading plans have been submitted to the staff. 7. The 'street bubble' on the eastern end of the east/west road has been eliminated. 8. There is a 50 foot setback from the parkway now. Staff Report-Revised Deer Creek -2- June 20, 1980 B. Items that have not been revised are as follows: 1. The petition for the construction of Anderson Lakes Parkway has not been submitted to the City. • 2. Many units adjacent to the east/west road do not have the required • 35 foot front yard setback. 3. The central through road is still shown at 50 feet of right of way and should be changed to 60 feet. 4. The most recent plan does not illustrate any trail system or walkway. • 5. The proposal is still very regimented and lacks variety. 1{ 6. The road system is still shown as a 'grid system'. 7. Schematic storm sewer has been submitted, with more detailed information • necessary for engineering review to come later. ( C. Additional items which the staff has requested of the developer, but have not been revised are as follows: 1. The access roads for the small quads are still anticipated as private drives. The road system should be significantly altered to provide public loop road within the development built to City standards. The Public Safety Department has reviewed the private street system and finds it unacceptable from a public safety and fire safety standpoint. 2. The road shown out to Mitchell Road should be the dominate access to the site, not through Old Farm. The street system should be revised to reflect this. 3. All of the units are to be built 'slab on grade' with no basements. The public Safety Department feels strongly that a development of this density without basements must make some provision for tornado and severe storm protection. The units as designed, offer no protection for 148 families. 4. The mini-park area as proposed is too small to meet City standards, and would have to be constructed; fenced, and maintained privately. • /gig • • • Staff Report-Deer Creek revised -3- June 20, 1980 4. Recommendations on the PUD Area "B" shown on the overall concept plan is only 150 feet wide and backs directly up to single family homes. The density of 10 units/acre in such a close proximity to the single family homes should not be approved without specific site and building plans. The overall PUD should illustrate a trail system and the road system should be modified to make the east/west road out to Mitchell Road the dominate road. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS The Planning Staff finds that, although the densities proposed are within the area guidelines, the site plan proposed for the central 24 acres is not acceptable. The amount of services, streets, and land necessary to accommodate the 'new quad' makes it a very inefficient use of the land, while covering a very high percentage of it. Consideration in the plan for the public health, safety and welfare has not been adequately shown. Therefore, the Planning Staff would recommend to the Planning Commission as follows: 1. Denial of the PUD as submitted. 2. Denial of the rezoning request as submitted. 3. Denial of the preliminary plat as submitted. 4. Table action on the Environmental Assessment Worksheet. • CE:jj MINUTES • EDEN PRAIRIE PLANNING COMMISSION approved ( 7:30 PM City Hall Monday, June 9, 1980 MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman William Bearman, Liz Retterath, Grant Sutliff, Virginia Gartner, Matthew Levitt, GeorgeBentley, Hakon Torjcsen •f STAFF PRESENT: Chris Enger, Director Planning; Jean Johnson, Assistant Planner i I, APPROVAL OF AGENDA • Retterath moved, Sutliff seconded, to approve the agenda as submitted.

The Planner then reviewed the staff report reconyncndations. 19(20 approved Minutes Planning Commission -2- June 9, 1980 Gelco First Addition, continued Emerson Greenberg, Gelco Corporation, reinterated the need for the plat to allow separate mortgaging of construction of the approved phases. Levitt inquired if all land within the plat is zoned Office. The Planner replied affirmative, adding that also depicted on the plat plan is land which is zoned Public around the lake. Fred Rosenblatt , legal counsel,Gelco Corporation, stated that the legal description of land conveyed to the City is separate from the plat legal. Levitt asked if two buildings are centemplated upon Lot 1, Block 2. Rosenblatt replied that at this time it appeared sensible to plat the area • only into 1 lot until it is known whether one or two buildings will be constructed. He informed the Commission that as part of the PUD and zoning agreement, each building phase plan must return for City approval. Levitt'inquired if the plat as proposed with off site parking and cross easements would be functional if Gelco sells one or more buildings. The Planner replied the area could still function as an office park if a building is sold because easements for access and parking are outlined similar to what has been done in other communities. • Bentley stated he is uncomfortable making a recommendation on off site parking t as it could set a precendent. Emerson Greenberg stated that the plat proposed conforms to the City's previous approvals on the overall site. Bearr,an asked if there were other parties than Gelco and the hank to the mortgage.

REQUEST: PUD Concept approval for 80 acres of mixed residential and a small convenience store. Rezoning from rural to RM 2.5 for 152 quadraminium units. Preliminary plat approval on approximately 24 acres. LOCATION: Bordered on the east by Mitchell Road, on the South by Centex's Ridgewood West, on the north by Burning Tree Apartments(construction pending), and on the east by Purgatory Creek. 1 BACKGROUND This land was planned in the 1972 Red Rock Sector Study as medium density residential, ( 5-1Ounits/acre). The 1979 Guide Plan also illustrates it as medium density residential up to 10 units per acre. Therefore, the general land use proposed is consistent with City plans for the area. Orrin Thompson is currently building the 72 quadraminium units approved in Old Farm Addition(to the north and west of this proposal). The Old Farm Addition made provision for road connection to the South which this development will utilize for access. Orrin Thompson wishes to continue development in this area and has intro- duced a new housing type which is affordable by a larger portion of the market. This is accomplished by increasing the net density from about 5.5 units/acre to around 7.5 units/acre. Provision of more moderate cost housing is an important element of the plan. EXISTING SITE CHARACTER Information on soils and existing vegetation has not been submitted by the developer. Preliminary study done by the staff indicates that the majority of the area proposed for the new small quads(in the southwest portion of the plat) is currently a woods. Although the woods is primarily boxelder and elm, there are scattered ash and maple throughout the site. Some of these more desirable species are as large as three feet in diameter. In addition,thcre are substantial areas of 20 feet high pines that are of a very good quality. Even though the woods is not of a high quality, the visual impact of completely removing it will be severe. Staff Report-Deer Creek -2- May 9, 1980 The soils of the area are made up of: Dassel sandy loam(seasonally high water table); Litchfield loamy fine sand, Rasset loamy fine sand (good bearing capacity, low water table, vegetation difficult to establish); Grays very fine sandy loam (fair to poor bearing capacity, moderate volume changes); Peaty muck (severe foundation limitations). These soil areas should be studied carefully and corrected accordingly or the subdivision laid out accordingly. ip There appear to be soil problems in Old Farm Addition at this time. Entire block walls have separated and cracked. There are two existing ponds on the site. The southern pond is partially on the Centex property and will be preserved as part of single family backyards. On site inspection of this pond reveals existing duck, deer, racoon, and other wildlife population. The proposal is to fill this pond for a play area. East of this pond, along the southern property line, there is a windrow of pine trees. Although this should be retained as a buffer between single family and multiple, the grading as proposed could damage much of it. The proposal is to fill the northern half of this pond for a mini park. The topography of the site is moderately rolling (10-15% slopes). This character would be completely altered through mass grading to acconniodate the units which need a flat site. PROPOSED SITE PLAN The site plan is very regimented and is a total "grid system" street pattern approach. It is not clear whether the smaller roads are to be public or private. In any case, no road dimensions or turnaround details are given. The site plan does not respect in any fashion the existing site. The proposal for the smallerquad units lacks any variety and is completely repetitious. There is little sensitivity in providing a transition to land uses to the south. The landscaping plan is critical to the success of the project and should be submitted at this time. I93- Staff Report-Deer Creek -3- May 9, 1980 41 ROADS 1. The central through road should be a 6D foot right-of-way with 35 foot setbacks. 2. The "bubble" should be eliminated from Deer Creek Drive. 3. Construction of the parkway must be assured prior to commencement of building to allow a second way out. 4. There should be a 5D foot setback from the parkway. 5. There appears to be no logical connection between the first phase and future land use to the west. 6. The trailway system should lead ultimately to the proposed *neighborhood park, to the west, and the parkway and Purgatory Creek on the east. DRAINAGE 1. There is no outlet shown on the northern pond. 2. The storm sewer system is inadequate as illustrated in Deer Creek Drive and the small quad unit area to the south. 3. No provision has been made for a culvert under Deer Creek Drive in the northwest portion of the proposal. PARKS 1. For a 152 unit development, there should be a 2-3 acre mini- park centrally located. The location and configuration should be worked out with the Community Services and Planning Staff. 2. The park area proposed in the pond is not acceptable. 3. The cash park fee of $25D / unit should be assessed and utilized • in the overall City park system. FINDINGS AND CDNCLUSIONS Although the general land use is consistent with the Guide Plan and the housing proposed fills a necessary need, the specific proposal does not respect the existing site and is very regimented in design. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Staff recommends that the proposal be returned to the proponent for substantial modification to address the concerns contained in this report. cE:;; (9a(I Riley- Purgatory Creek Watershed District Pw 8950 COUNTY ROAD 44 «.-... ��..r� EDEN PRAIRIE,MINNESOTA 55343 May 15, 1980 Mr. Chris Enger City Planner City of Eden Prairie 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344 Re: Deer Creek Development: Eden Prairie Dear Mr. Enger: The engineering advisors to the Board of Managers of the Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District has reviewed the preliminary plans as submitted to the District for the proposed 24-acre Deer Creek Development in Eden Prairie. The following policies and criteria of the Watershed District are applicable 4 for this project. 1. In accordance with Section E(2) of the District's revised Rules and Regulations, a grading and land alteration permit application must be submitted to the District for review and approval. Accom- panying this permit application, a detailed erosion control plan outlining how sediment will be controlled from leaving the altered areas both during and after construction must be submitted to the District for review and approval. 2. A detailed storm sewer plan must be submitted to the District for review and approval. The District strongly encourages the use of sedimentation or inundation areas to remove undesirable material from stormwater runoff prior to discharging into the public waters of the District. The storm sewer plan must also include plans for the ultimate dis- charge of stormwater into Purgatory Creek. Thank you for the opportunity to review this project at an early date. If you have any questions regarding the District's comments, please contact us at 920-0655. Sincerely, Ro ert C. Obermey BARR ENGINEERING CO. RCO/111 Engineers for the District cc: Mr. Conrad Fiskness Mr. Frederick Richards "S • � i ,x y approved Planning.Commission Minutes -2- May 12, 1980 Bentley inquired why the southern cul-de-sac occurs adjacent to existing ,1 single family. Mr. Enger replied that various alternatives were explored but the topography of the site makes any other design difficult. Mr. Hagen agreed that the location is not ideal but given the topo it was necessay and that the plantings would buffer the single family from the street. 1 Retterath asked how large of an area is being dedicated to the Preserve. Mr. Hagen replied .68 acres would be dedicated. Bentley asked where the nearest totlot is located. Larry Peterson, The Preserve, f replied in Westwind Addition. Mr. Hagen did not feel that the quad units warrant an individual totlot because +: their experience is that sales would be to young professionals and empty nesters. • 1 Bob Dunbar,1127O Lanewood Circle, inquired why a gap in the landscaping occurs along the east. Mr. Hagen responded that the gap occurs to facilitate drainage i and a break in the landscaping scene. Mr. Dunbar then asked how the ground surfaces would be treated. Mr. Hagen replied that all areas would be sodded. 4. Jay Eberenz,1133O Lanewood Circle, commented that the Spring drainage in their single family backyards is sometimes knee deep and hopes that this development I will not contribute more water to this problem. Gerald Gourley ,11280 Lanewood Circle, stated that Mr. Hagen has met with the homeowners 3 or 4 times and has been very cooperative in working with the residents. Motion 1: Gartner moved, Sutliff seconded, to close the public hearing on Morthn:ark West. fi Motion carried 4:0:1 with Bentley abstaining. (Bentley abstained because of past involvement in litigation against the developer). Motion 2: Gartner moved, Levitt seconded, to recommend to the City Council approval of the rezoning from Rural to RM 6.5 as per the material dated Feb. 29, 19B0 and the staff report of April 22, 1980, including that the plantings along the south side of the southern cul-de-sac be included in a Preserve homeowners outlot. Motion carried 4:0:1 with Bentley abstaining. 1 Motion 3: Gartner moved, Levitt seconded, to reconrnend to the City Council approval of the preliminary plat dated Feb. 29, 1980 as per the conditions in Motion2.

Request for PUD Concept approval on 80 acres for single family.townhouse, coadraminiums, and conmercial use; rezoning front Rural to RM 2.5 ; preliminary plat approval, and approval of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet. Located East of Mitchell Road , South of Old Farm , and North of Ridgewood West. A public hearing. (. Mr. Bill Dolan, project engineer, located the project and outlined the proposed uses: condominiums in 2 phases next to Mitchell Road, townhouses in the center by Orrin Thompson, single family adjacent to the creek, townhouses adjacent to the flood plain, possible small commercial area east of Anderson Lakes Parkway, and a 3 acre piece East of the creek which must be developed in conjunction with property to the cast or south for access. lra02! approved Planning Conmmission Minutes -3- May 12, 1980 Bill F ierke , Vice-President of Marketing Orrin Thompson, described the new townhouse design which:improves the appearance , has interchangeable 1 or 2 story designs for the same lot, will sell for $9,000 less than the present quad unit, and includes approximately 1,092 square feet with no expansion area. He stated the installation of utilities in every other street is a major cost saver in the project. Mr. Enger outlined the staff's concerns as: unbroken appearance of the units, removal of the natural rolling terrain, destruction of the existing tree stands, and filling of the natural ponds on the site. Bentley inquired if the exterior treatment would be varied between units. Mr. Fierke replied they have 2 different elevations and that earth tone colors would be used on the aluminium siding with brick trim on garages. Bentley asked if the developer could fit the units into the existing rolling terrain. Mr. Dolan replied that the new townhouse units would not fit into the terrain: Levitt believed the construction of Anderson Lakes Parkway would be crucial to the development of this project. Mr. Dolan then illustrated through the use of a revised plan how they could save additional trees, place totlots near the ponds, and reduce the amount of filling of the ponds. Levitt asked how large of area the 2 totlot play spaces are. Mr. Dolan replied and ; acre. Bill Fierke , stated that they would only expect .23 children per unit and that totlots would not be necessary in their opinion. Mr. Enger added that the staff is asking the proponent to inventory the large trees and pines, investigate a loop street and designing more curve into the streets. Bentley raised the following concerns: 1.Project exit through Old Farm is undesirable. 2. Is acceptance of this number of private streets advisable . 3. Conservancy Line should be noted on the plans. 4. Totlots placed next to ponds are undesirable. 5. Totlots should be larger. 6. Like to see overall flood plain use anticipated by property owners. Mr. Dolan objected to increasing the size of the totlots because he felt 10t land dedication is all that was necessary. The Planner replied that land in lieu of cash park fee pa)nent can be accepted if if accommodates the City's overall neighborhood park plan, but that small totlots are recoumiended for every 50 units in addition to payment of cash park fee. Bryce Rowe, 14204 Chestnut Drive, had the following concerns: 1. Too many units ( planned all of which have to use TH 5 and Mitchell Road. 2. Ponds should be retained as they' are an important wildlife habitat. 3. The rolling character should be protecte.' Motion :Bentley moved, Levitt seconded, to continue the public hearing on Deer Creek to June 9, 1980 as recommended in the staff report of May 8, 1980. Motion carried unanimously.

Located west of present building at 6131 Blue Circle Drive. A public meeting. Mr. Robert Worthington, Rauenhorst Corporation, stated the approved 1979 PUD illustrates the phase 2 expansion, out between the concept stage and detail plan drawing things got ahead of themselves and it was assumed by them and the City building department that the site was zoned for the phase 2 construction, and a footing permit was issued prior to actual zoning of the additional acreage. He apologized for the circumstances and assured the conunission that concerns raised during the PUD review have been met in the design of phase 2. He stated the building would have 3 stories, be constructed of brick , have the same windows as the first building, have a skyway connection,and the proposed parking preserves stands of oak trees. The Planner reviewed the staff report outlining how Rauenhorst has met each of the commission's concerns expressed during review of the PUD. Sutliff inquired how many acres are remaining in the Opus PUD. Mr. Worthington replied after rezoning of these 3 acres, approximately 4.5 acres remain (phase 3). Levitt asked if the coverage of the site meets requirements under Ord. 135. The Planner replied affirmative. Levitt then asked how many parking spaces will be provided in phase 2. Mr. Alike Ryan, Rauenhorst, replied 144 spaces. The commission then discussed the continuation of construction, setbacks needed, and the inclusion of a ramp in the design of phase 3. Motion Levitt moved, Gartner seconded, to recommend to the City Council approval of the rezoning from Rural to Office as per the plans dated April 30, 1980 and the staff report of May 9, 1980.

Shortly thereafter the Developer's architect dis- covered that some incorrect topo data was used to develop the original grading plan for'the northerly portion of the plat. The originally proposed loop street in this area would require very extensive grading and removal • of many large trees. Accordingly, the Developer is now proposing a 350' long cul-de-sac (Edgebrook Place) in place of the original loop street. The Engineering Dept. Staff has reviewed this change at the site with the Developer and we concur that it will substantially reduce the extent of i excavation and removal of trees. The attached brochure from Bruce Knutson Architects more fully describes the proposed revision. The revised final • plat does contain one lot more than the approved preliminary plat. It is recommended that the Council rescind the previous Resolution No.R80-124 and adopt Resolution No. R80-148, approving the revised final plat of Car- dinal Creek 2nd Addition.

Ulstad, City Manager FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services DATE: August 1, 1980 SUBJECT: Trail Connection from Hillcrest Court to Edenvale Blvd. BACKGROUND At the May 5, 1980 Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission meeting, Dick Anderson moved to request that staff check on the feasibility of running • a bicycle/pedestrian path connecting Creekside Court with Hillcrest Court. Motion passed unanimously. At the May 19 meeting the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission, staff provided a map showing existing plats and a possible trail from Hillcrest Court to Edenvale Blvd. using existing City property. Staff indicated that this connection would be very expensive to build and maintain due to the poor soils. At this meeting, Dick Anderson requested that staff contact Edenvale to see if a trailway extension could be obtained from Hillcrest Court straight f through to Edgewood Court. On May 29, 19B0, Kay Schumacher provided staff a map showing a possible five foot trail easement corridor along the back lot lines of Lots 9 and 10 of the lots facing Edgewood Court cul-de-sac. In showing acquisition of Outlot B of Edenvale 3rd Addition, his proposal was for the City to pay $20,000 for approximately 16,420 sq. ft. of trail easement (the offer expired at 4:30 P.M. on June 2, 1980). Prior to the June 16 Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission meeting, staff reviewed the Edenvale file and discovered a supplemental information report for the Edenvale PUD application of 70-4 submitted by Don R. Peterson, Executive Vice President of the Eden Land Corporation. On the second page of this report Mr. Peterson makes the following commitment. "We have thus eliminated a westerly connection to County Road 4 on our land use plan and have retained a Duck Lake extension as a possible future alternate. If the Village feels that a Hillcrest connection is desirable, or needed, we will dedicate the necessary right-of-way to provide this connection." At the June 16 of the Commission, Dick Anderson moved to recommend to the City Council that the City require a 10' easement from Edenvale Blvd. to the creek for a bike trail and pedestrian creek crossing. The Commission referes the Council to a letter from Don Peterson of Edenvale promising to dedicate easements for this purpose, if the City deems it necessary. Motion carried unaniously. At the July 1 meeting of the City Council, the proposed trail connection was discussed. There was general agreement that the trail connection was necessary. However, the Council tabled the matter to the August 5th meeting and requested staff to determine the existing ownership of the property and the feeling of existing owners toward purchase or dedication of this trail right-of-way. -2- Edenvale is the existing owner of the property and Mr. Kay Schumacher, as president of the company, is the person responsible for making any decisions regarding this trail connection. On August 1, 1980, Mr. Schumacher met with staff to discuss this trail connection. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that Mr. Peterson's commitment in 1970 referred to a road connection between Edenvale Blvd. and Hillcrest Court. 1 Since that time, the City Council has approved lots that virtually cut out that road connection possibility. Mr. Schumacher further referred to the Edenvale plan showing a trail connection from the underpass under Edenvale Blvd. westerly to Purgatory Creek, then north to Hillcrest Court. All of the development proposals in Edenvale have been based on this trail connection and he feels it is a little late At this time to make a change in that trail system. RECOMMENDATION • Staff agrees with Mr. Schumacher's assessments of Edenvale and City commitments and recommends that the City obtain engineering cost estimates on trail construction from the underpass at Edenvale Blvd. to Hillcrest Court via the Edenvale Park. property.

MEliORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council THRU: Roger K. Ulstad, City Manager FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services DATE: July 14, 1980 SUBJECT: Peony Garden at Cummins/Grill House At the July 1, 1980 meeting, the City Council received a letter from Abby Picha, President of the Eden Prairie Historical Society, requesting preservation of the peony gardens east of the Grill home on Pioneer Trail. Lambert informed the Council that the park maintenance staff were able to run through the garden with a tiller once during the spring and the Teen Work Program is able to weal the garden after the middle of June. The City Park Maintenance Department does not have sufficient staff to care for that garden during the spring of the year. The Historical Society would like to sec some funds budgeted for a part-time gardener that would be able to not only weed the peony garden, but to expand the garden through transplanting plants, etc. The City Council requested staff to, contact the Garden Club to see if they would take the garden as a project, also to contact a representative from the arboretum to request if someone could tour the garden and confirm any rare types of peonies. On Monday, July 7, 1980, Stuart Fox, City Forester, called the Minnesota State Horticultural Society to obtain information regarding the significance of the peony garden on the Grill farm. He first spoke with Glen Ray, who in turn referred him to Richard Enblom, chairmain of the Peony Society of the State Horticultural Society. After speaking with Mr. Enblom and explaining the City's interest in determining the value of the peony garden, Mr. Enblom stated that since the plants didn't have original tags or a key, it would be extremely difficult to "type" the peonies. He then referred Mr. Fox to Mrs. Greta Kessenich of the American Peony Society. Mrs. Kessenich was pleased to hear of a peony garden that was this large, but disappointed that the plants were not tagged with botanical names. She explained that Minnesota had several commercial growers of Chinese or common peonies in the 1900's and 1920's and that it is possible that some of these are from those local growers. She also stated that it would be nearly impossible to put names on the plants since there are over 40 varieties of white peonies alone. • Her recommendation was that the City maintain for aesthetic reasons without attempting to place botanical names on the individual plants. She did say that she would check with some local growers to find if there arc any records of special or exotic peonies which may have been available locally in early 1900, and which may have been planted in the peony garden. If her search is successful in locating any other pertinent information relating to the Grill peony garden, she will contact the City. • • • • • Peony Garden at Cummins/Grill House -2- Mr. Don Berne, Vice Presient of the Eden Prairie Garden Club, was reluctant to consider taking on a project as large as the Grill peony garden. He indicated that there are only 14.or 15 active members in the Garden Club and they have already committed to several smaller flower garden projects around the City. He indicated that caring for that garden would be a great deal of work and too large a project for the Garden Club at this time. • If the Council is in favor of maintaining the peony garden, staff would request authority to budget up to $1,000 for 1981 for a part-time gardener for this " project.

Every member of the park bond referendum planning committee felt that it was important to provide irrigation to the new ballfields at Round Lake Park. The City Council agreed with their recommendation and irrigation for Round Lake was included in the park bond referendum. Staff considered three sources for irrigating the fields, city water, Round Lake itself and an irrigation well. After some discussions with the City Engineering Department, staff has agreed that a well is the best solution for irrigating ballfields. Mr. Dean Holasek, a resident of the community, has volunteered to provide plans and specifications for irrigating the fields. City staff would like to have the irrigation system installed prior to seeding Round Lake Park-this fall and requests authorization to advertise to receive bids on August 28, 1980 at 10:00 A.M., and to award bids at the City Council meeting on September 2, 1980.

At that time, residents indicated that there were many bicycles and joggers on Anderson Lakes Parkway that were competing with high speed traffic. The City Council agreed to construct a pathway adjacent to Anderson Lakes Parkway concurrent withthe installation of the traffic signals at Anderson Lakes Parkway and County Road 18. The Metropolitan Council had approved funding for this pathway in 1979, however no development funds were approved in Anderson Lakes Park, . Hyland Park or Bush Lake Park pending the approval of a joint master plan between the cities of Bloomington, Eden Prairie and Hennepin County Park Reserve District.

Ulstad, City Manager • FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services DATE: July 23, 1980 • SUBJECT: Red Rock Park Acquisition The Red Rock Neighborhood Park site adjacent to Mitchell Road has been the • designated neighborhood park site to serve the Red Rock area since the early 1970's. Many of the residents living in the Red Rock neighborhood were very vocal during the planning process for the 1979 park bond referendum. The residents in that area were strongly supportive of the park bond referendum, mainly because they were finally to obtain their neighborhood park. The City presently owns approximately 4 acres on the western border of the park site and approximately an acre and half along the northern border of the . park site. The 14 acre parcel is owned by Virgil A. Seifert. An appraisal completed by Chase Brackett in February of 1980 estimated the market value of the property at $28,200. The appraisal is based on an estimate that one and half to two acres of the land was developable without sub soil corrections. No sub soil tests have been made to substantiate this assumption. I first talked to Mr. Seifert on September 28, 1978 concerning the acquisition of his property by the City. He indicated that he is willing to sell the approximate 15 acre parcel along Mitchell Road for the same amount of money that he is selling other property, plus inflation and taxes. He indicated that he had sold 40 acres in 1977 for $5,300/ acre. He did not want to sell his property in 1978 because the amount of money he received from his previous sale. Timing was very important to him because of his tax situation. I again talked to Mr. Seifert on Janyary 25, 1979 to ask if he was interested in either entering into any option or a contract for deed with the City on this park site. He indicated he would be willing to sell this year if the developer doesn't begin development on the 40 acres he had just sold. Again, he was concerned with the capital gains taxes. He indicated that"if the developer starts this spring"then he would not want to sell until 1981. He was not interested in entering into an option or contract for deed at this time, but promised to call back on April 1, 1980 to indicate one way or another if he would sell this year. 1 • _2- On March 18, 1980, the City Council took the following action:"MOTION Osterholt moved, seconded by Redpath to authorize staff to negotiate options on hidden Ponds, Red Rock and to bring the Creekwood site back to the Council at the April 1, 1980 Council meeting. Motion carried unanimously." At this time the City has purchased the Bidden Ponds site and will close on the Creekwood site shortly. In June Roger Pauly talked to Mr. Seifert regarding the sale of his property for park purposes. Mr. Seifert indicated that he would get back to Mr. Pauly by July 1, 1980 with an answer. Mr. Seifert did not call on July 1, therefore around mid-July Mr. Paul again contacted Mr. Seifert. Me indicated that he was not ready to sell at this time. The majority of the residents in the Red Rock neighborhood have been very patient in waiting for a neighborhood park. As more developments are approved, to the west of this site, the pressure for neighborhood park services will increase rapidly. The Community Services Department has received several phone calls from residents in this neighborhood referring to the 1979 park bond referendum and . questioning the timing for acquisition and development of this park. It is becoming clear that the City may have no alternative other than to enter into condemnation to acquire this property, if we expect to develop this park in the near future. BL:md • (CUPq { • MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council TURU: Roger K. Uistad, City Manager FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services DATE: June 26, 1980 SUBJECT: City Historical Parks BACKGROUND -At the November 20, 1979 meeting, the City Council approved the hiring of the Miller-Dunwiddie Architects, Inc. to prepare a feasibility study for the historic preservation of the Cummins-Grill house located at 13600 Pioneer Trail. The purpose of the study was to investigate the structural soundness of the house, prepare a list of major improvements that would be required for the restoration of the house and the cost estimates for these improvements. The report was completed in December and a presentation was made to the Historial/ Cultural Commission by Foster Dunwiddie on February 7, 1980. On March 6, 1980, • the Historical/Cultural Commission took the following action: "Motion to recommend to the City Council that the consulting architect be retained and to employ his recommendation in the restoration of the Cummins-Grill house." On April 1, 1980, Foster Dunwiddie made a similar presentation to the City Council summarizing his historic preservation feasibility study of the Cummins-Grill house. In his opinion, the Cummins-Grill house is eligible for nomination to the Registery of Historic Places based upon its local significance in areas of agriculture and exploration/settlement. Mr. Dunwiddie explained the house dates from 1S79 with a major addition having taken place about 1910. He found that the house was structurally sound and much of the fabric is entact and can he restored. He indicated that the first priority would be replacement of the roof, which would run between $23,700 and $26,100 and stabilization of the exterior walls, particularly the cast wall of the kitchen. Mr. Dunwiddie recommended the City ask the State Historical Office to send out one of their staff to take a look at the house to see if that office would recommend the site for the National Register. There arc federal funds available for sites that are on the National Register of Historic Places and state funds available for sites which are on the state inventories and are considered historical from a statewide standpoint or local standpoint. Mr.Dunwiddie did indicate that any funds that arc invested in restoration of the house prior to being approved for grants would not be considered as matching funds • for those grants. Mrs. Hone, chairperson of the Historical/Cultural Commission, also attended the April 1st meeting. Pauly asked how the Cummins:-Grill house is perceived in relationship to other• homes in Eden Prairie. ''Mrs. (lone replied the laoui;las/M('rc house is certainly a better consideration; however, the plus on the Grill house is the City already owns it. Chairperson hone :added she doesn't think two historical houses in a city the size of Eden Prairie are too many'." "Mrs. Clone added she is not sure the Cummins-Grill house should be a museum, but would like to see it restored and used in some way as a historic site. In the case of the Douglas/More house, hone felt it could be used as a museum as it is architecturally more interesting and nerds very little work." 1169 -2- The City Council then took the following action MOTION: "Osterholt moved, seconded by Redpath to instruct staff to contact the State Historical Preservation Office to have the Cummins-Grill house examined and its likelihood for the National Register determined,with staff to come back to the Council with the plan for financing on the immediate needed improvements. Further, that staff be authorized to enter into negotiations with the More's for a means of securing the Douglas house. Motion carried unanimously." On April 29, 1980, staff met with Dennis Gimmestad, State Historical Society, and foster Dunwiddie to review the Grill house. At that same meeting, the Douglas/ More house was also reviewed. Mr. Gimmestad indicated that the request for nomination of these two sites could not be reviewed until the fall of 1980 because the spring calendar was filled and the board does not meet over the summer. He also indicated that they would prefer the City (the historical/Cultural Commission) to complete a survey of the City for historical sites prior to submitting applications on these two individual sites. They feel the City has a better perspective of what priorities individual sites should play if they have a complete survey of the entire City. However, they would make a recommendation prior to a survey if there were reasons given why immediate action was necessary. Mr. Gimmestad indicated that from his brief physical review of both sides and from the limited information supplied by staff at that meeting, it was his opinion that neither structure was architecturally significant. However, both structures were good examples of typical architecture style of their period and both sites seemed to have historical value that was significant at the local level. lie indicated that he would have to have greater detailed information on both sites prior to making a recommendation, but it seemed likely that both sites would qualify for the National Register. THE GRILL HOUSE The City took over occupancy of the Grill house during the summer of 1979. It took several months to find anyone that was willing to rent the premises due to the condition of the house and the obvious high costs of heating that structure. In the fall of 1979, the City agreed to rent the house to two young men. Before long there were concerns expressed by members of the Historical/Cultural Commission regarding the upkeep of the facility. The general consensus of opinion seems to be that once the City rents a house the condition of the house deteriorates rapidly. There has also been concern noted for the condition of the grounds, especially the peony garden at the Grill house. These concerns arc a good indication of the type of care the public will expect of these historical sites, not only the buildings, but the adjacent grounds. historical parks will take a great deal more maintenance than an average city neighborhood or community park. According to Donna Skagerberig, Chairperson of the Edina Historic Preservation Board, the City of Edina has actually turned down "two or three" histor.icalIy significant houses that were offered as donations because the city couldn't afford to maintain them properly. The Historical/Cultural Commission has suggested that once the City begins to restore the Grill house, the Historical/Cultural Commission could use it as a meeting place and for other community activities. Mr. Dunwiddie has indicated that the restoration of this facility would take approximately $140,000. It has been suggested that perhaps the facility can be partially restored for less and used for meeting rooms. It is my opinion that once the City begins using; this structure for any community meetings or other group use, the public will demand that the facility be brought up to code and renovation completed. Therefore, if the City decides to keep the Grill house as a historical structure, the City should budget for complete renovation. As Director of Community Services, I have a difficult time justifying the expenditure of $140,000 for renovation of that facility. /9')U -3- I don't believe the facility would get much more use than the existing historical/ Cultural Center on Co. Road 18, and the maintenance costs for the building and adjacent grounds would be extremely high for the amount of use by the public. I feel the Community would got more use out of this "site" if the buildings were leveled and the site landscaped to accommodate public social events such as Sunbonnet Days, etc. The City could construct a monument on the site that would explain the brief history of the Cummins and the Grills. Mr. Cummins was a noted arboriculturist who studies apple trees, grapes, etc. Perhaps, the City could plant a "living monument" to the memory of the Cummins family at this site. This might also be an appropriate site for an outdoor theatre where plays could be held that arc sponsored by the historical/Cultural Commission and the historical Society. I believe this area holds much more potential for use if developed in this manner than by restoring the house. THE DOUGLAS/MORE HOUSE Mr. and Mrs. More had indicated earlier this year that they would be willing to consider selling their house with life estate privileges to the City for use as a historical site and City museum. The City Council authorized staff to obtain an appraisal of the More property including the house and the 1.9 acre site. The appraisal was completed on June 4, 1980 by Brad Bjorklund of 0. J. Janski Associates. the has appraised the property at 8125,000. A summary of the appraisal report is attached to this memo. FUNDING Historical site preservation and restoration projects used to be eligible for Community Block Grant funds but are not eligible anymore. There is Some limited grant monies from a Heritage Conservation Recreation Service of the Department of Interior, however these grants require matching funds. The City would have to budget funds from the general fund or use park fees for acquisition and development of these sites. Staff would recommend the City Council consider hiring a consultant to work with the Historical/Cultural Commission on completing a local survey of historic resources prior to making a decision on acquisition of the Douglas/More house. A survey of this type would also help the Council make a decision on the value of the Grill house as a historic site in the City of Eden Prairie. The City of Bloomington and the City of Edina both elected to hire a consultant firm to complete the initial survey of historic resorces. All sites as identified as having some architectural or historical value to the community were then put in various classes and categorized in priority levels. After that information is complied, it should be much easier to make decisions on individual sites. BL:Md i i /97/
