MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to approve items A - H on

V. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. 1,10M)LAWN Hf.1GHTS by Ruscon Homes. Request for rezoning of approximately
59.68 .ic:res iron! I;ural to R1-9.5 for construction of 139 single family
detached housinn units and preliminary plat approval of 139 lots and 2
outlots. Locat.od in the southt:est corner of Duck Lake Trail and Townline
Road (Ordinance No. 9-82 - rezoning and Resolution No. 82-244 - preliminary
plat)
Edstrom paid he would abstain from discussion on this item because of
a client relationship betwmon his law firm and Lyman Lumber,
Marshall Oaks, representing Ruscon Homes, was in the audience as was
Gill Mauer,
Because there were only four memh(Irs of the Council present and Edstrom
stated he would abstain from discussion and possible voting on the item,
it was determined tnere would not be enough votes for action on this item,
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to continue action on this
item to the Novenber 2, 1982, meeting of the City Council, Motion carried
with Edstrom abstaining.
B. TRFAPIO_R ADDITION_ by G.jy Treanor, Request for rezoning from R1-22 to
R1- 3.5 ;ncf�iil in;ii y phtiL approval of 1 lot into 3 lots for approximately
1.0 acres. Located south of Valley View Road across from Franklin Circle,
16117 Valley View Road. (Ordinance No, 10-82 - rezoning and Resolution No.
82-245 - preliminary plat)
City Manager Jullie noted that official notice had been published and notices
had been sent to the adjacent property owners,
Guy Treanor addressed the proposal,
Director of Planning Enger stated this request had been reviewed by the
Planning Crnumission at its September 27, 1982, meeting, This had been before
the. Board of Alymals in August at the recommendation of City Staff, The Board
of Appeals had granted Treanor approval to allow three lots on the property.
The City Attorney had advised the way to proceed was through the usual Prelim-
inary plattinn process. The PnbliC Hearing notice for.the hearing before the
Planning Con;e,ission included notice of a rezoning from R1-22 to R1-13.5, The
Planning Commission failed to approve the rezoning by a vote of 4-2. The
Commission felt this would be spot zoninq. They did recommend approval of the
preliminary plat to the City Council on a 4 - 2 vote subject to the Staff
Report recorn,;iendutions in the rcinrrt of September 24, 1982.
This itr'nir•,a; not reviewed by the Parks, Recreation R Natural Resources Com-
misslen.
City Council Minutes -4- October 19, 1982
Edst:rom said lie had a philosophical problem with approving the plot and not
allowirin the zoning change. He noted he was speaking to the procedure and
not to the merits of the proposal. City Attorney Pauly said the Council
had to decide whether of not the rezoning should be ()ranted. Bentley said
the matter was sent to the Coard of Appeals erroneously. Redpath noted that
if sewer and water was availahle on an R1-22 lot, the owner could petition
for connection. Bentley said the Board of Appeals decision must be taken
into consideration. Penzel said that decision is a factor only if the rezoning
request before the Council were to fail. Penzel recommended the Council proceed
with the processing and address the issues one at a time. The alignment of the
lots with those to the south WAS examined. Redpath stated he felt someone,
at sometime, must have thought there would be three houses in that location
since three stubs were provided when sewer and water werrt in.
Jim Jordan, 16210 Westgate Lane,showed why the Planning Commission had voted
down this proposal. He stated there is a natural division along a tree line
on the Treanor property. From the viewpoint of the neighbors to the south,
Jordan indicated, the uniformity of the lots would be lost; a hodge podge
would be created; and a precedent would be set.
John Hockert, 16180 Westgate Lane, gave the Council a drawing which showed
the location of his home in relation to the subject property.
Redpath asked Mrs. Vest, previous owner of the property, why three sewer
hoof; ups were put in. Mrs. Phyllis Vest, 9212 Decatur Avenue South, Bloom-
ington,said the City put in three. Jordan said the question of how many sewer
and water hook ups there are is immaterial.
Treanor said there is a 10 - 15 foot hedge behind his property which separates
the view of his home from those on the south.
Hockert noted all the lots in the southeast quadrant of Valley View Road and
County Road 4 are zoned R1-22 and the people in this area are not interested in
having srialler lots in that quadrant.
Mary Lahti, 16213 Valley View Road, said dividing this parcel into three lots
is not going to be consistent with the area; he would not be opposed to two lots.
Greg Kelm, 16250 Westgate Lane, said he concurs with his neighbors. He felt the
houses would looked crammed if they were on smaller lots.
David Thompson, 16101 Valley View Road, said smaller lots would give a chopped
up appearance to the neighborhood.
Redpath noted the R1-22 zoning was designed for areas which had septic systems
and did not depend on the size (If the houses. That is why the b'estgate Addition
was zoned R1-22.
Edstrom asked about the County's reaction to access onto Valley View Road.
Enger said the County would like to have no access onto Valley View Road --
this can bo dime in newer arras but in older areas it is often impossible to
do as there is no otncr altcrndtive. The County would like to have a "T-drive"
of "horso dioe drive". Treanor said tho location of the house he wishes to build
will have to have a turn around driveway because of the length of the driveway.
r)
City Council Minutes -5- October 19, 1982
Bentley said he felt the tree line to be a significant factor and would not
like to sec that removed. Edstrom said he shared Bentley's concern. lie said
removing the lot line and taking down the trees is stretching it to add one
additional lot. He felt two lots would be appropriate. Penzel said the two
lot split would be the only viable option and hreanor should be encouraged to
do this. Redpath s<+id in fairness to Trcanor, Staff should work with him as
he has incurred expenses which fie should not have incurred during this process.
MOTION: Edstroni moved, seconded by Bentley, to close the Public Hearing and
to continue action until the Noveicher 2, 1982, meeting. The City Attorney is
directed to draft a Resolution of nonial listing findings of fact/reasons for
denial. Potion carried with Redpath voting "no." I
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Edstrorn, to table consideration of the
preliminary plat for two weeks and instruct Staff to work with Treanor during
that time. Motion carried unanimously.
C. SUh_'1',ISF KNOLLS RFVi_SF_D by Edward A. Sieber. Request for rezoning from Rural
to Lit 2.5 aril 2.99 acres for construction of an apartment building of 2 stories
and 20 units. Located at County Road 61 and Rowland Road (Ordinance No. 11-82 -
rezoning)
City M::nager Jullie stated the Public Hearing notice had been published and the
neighboring property owners had been notified.
Frank Reese, representing the proponent, addressed the proposal.
Director of Planning Enger noted this item had been reviewed by the Planning
Conrnission at its September 27, 191�2, meeting at which time the commission
recommended approval of the rezoning from Rural to Rh? 6.5 subject to the
recommendations contained in the Staff Report of September 23, 1982, by a
vote of 6 - 0.
The Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission did not review this
proposal.
Redpat.h asked if this proposal was below the density shown on the Guide Plan.
Enger said it was.
Edstrom asked if there were any plans for the area to the north of this property.
Enger said the entire parcel is being used in figuring the density so that would
mean the end to any further use of that property. Sieber said they had originall,:
asked for a division of that lot in their original plan. Edstrom asked what is
envisioned on the parcels to the west. Enger said there are horses to the west --
one is fairly new. 4Iultiple density is shown on much of the area adjacent to
Shady Oak Road. Any development in the area would work around the homes.
Bentley asked if allowincr this would potentially create or force development
to the west. Lager said ire felt it would have tho most impact on the properties
immediately around it; it would have littlr impact on the development of anything
west of Shady (44; I;oad. ba ielt. the City n,nst try to develop a situation which
is en, i"atihilewith th r,incile family hones to the wrest. One of his concerns
has been the pressure City ',Jest ,rill bring -- the need or desire for small lot
conanVrcial -- there is 11rugly a request from Standard Oil for an area north
of 62nd Street. He felt fill' use being proposed this evening is a good transition
use for this area; tile.re are design related considerations which relate mostly to
screening and can be solved.
ri
City Council Minutes -6- October 19, 1982
Edstrom asked if Enger conJ dfl red Shady Oak to be fully developed at this
time or will the County wish to expand Shady Oak to a four-lane. Enger
said they are looking at this right now. The County is planning for an ultimate
road in this area now -- there is a lot of development (ding on now in the Minne-
tonka area to the north. The County is in the process of acquiring additional
right-of-way now -- up to 120 feet.
Penzel asked if the major access to this building is on public right-of-way.
Enger said it was and this was due to the fact that access would then be brought
farther back from the intersection. Fnqer said he had discussed this with Direct(.
of Public �,orks Dietz and it was decided there was little need, if any, for this
right-of-way.
Penzel expressed concern at the lack of a totlot. Enger said swing sets could
be placed in the area to the north of the building, if necessary. Director of
Community Services Lac:bert said they usually don't look at anything less than
50 units. He felt a chain link fence would be required to protect children from
the traffic on Shady Oak Road.
Ray Dudycha, 6602 Shady Oak Road, noted the driveway into the apartment building
is right across from his yard -- he expressed concern about the lights from cars
entering and leaving. He wondered how there is enough property for the building
after 20 feet is taken off for Shady Oak Road,
Sieber said they had acquired this property in 1971 and agreed this was a
difficult piece of property to develop. :e felt they had finally come up with
a viable use.
Penzel note-d a petition dated October 15, 1982, from the neighbors on Shady
Oak and Goiden Ridge. (attached)
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing
and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 11-82. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to direct Staff to draft a Develop-
er's Agreement taking into consideration the recommendations included in the Staff
Report, those of the Planning Commission, as well as consideration of green space.

provisions to be made for a tot lot, the entire area (sliver) to the the north
included in this piece, screening on the west side to be properly done, and
consideration be given to find a solution to the potential problem of headlights
relative to the Dudycha property. Motion carried unanimously.
VI. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS NOS, 4177 - 4404
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to approve the Payment of Claims Nos.
4177 - 4404. Roll call vote: Bentley, Edstrom (abstained on Claim No. 4335), Red-
path, and Penzel voted "aye." ilotion carried.

A. Report of Council Members
Penzel - stated a letter had been received from Congressman Frenzel regarding
cable television regulations.
A hazardous waste meeting was attended by Bentley and Penzel last
week which provided no significant information. City Staff will meet
with Hazardous Waste Comrnissiun Staff at least twice in the next two
weeks. Bentley expressed concerns which rust be addressed in these
discussions including the projections by the Metro Council relative
to expansion of the trunk sewer system. City Manager Jullie stated our
capacity allocation is 2.9 mgd which might be in jeopardy should heavy
water/sewer use be needed by a hazardous waste facility.
Reath - noted the Supreme Court had ruled that an apartment or townhouse complex
cannot charge the ultimate fees, but instead $1 per unit as a one time
charge.

1. Joint Master Plan for Anderson Lakes Regional Park by Hennepin County Park
Reserve District --- ----
Director of Crnmnunity Services Lambert stated the Master Plan has been
drafted and is in the review process at this time. He noted it had been
before the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Connuission on October 4th.
He introduced Greg Mack of the Park Reserve District Staff.
Greg Mack, South Division Manager, introduced members of his Staff:
Don DeVeau, landscape architect and Larry Gillette, wildlife biologist.
Mack then rr,viewed the process. DeVeau addressed the proposed Master Plan.
r
City Council Minutes -B- October 19, 1982
Redpath stated he. has had a long association with the Hennepin County
Park Reserve. The City had been asked to acquire and then release to
the County the areas around Anderson Lakes. lie said it was astounding
to now find the plan identified as a Blooirington/ilcnnepin County Plan.
Ile said it has always been known that the active areas would be in Bloom-
ington at Bush Lake and Hyland Park. He said that for the last 12 or 14
years Anderson Lakes had been dosignated as wildlife. Les Blacklock's
plan just had the "rhino head" area to he active.
Penzel said it was the intention to develop the Anderson Lakes portions
of the Park to provide for Blacklock's plan. lie said he has been involved
in this since 1973 and finds this to be an abrupt turnabout from a previously
exi[,ting commitment. He said he would like to see same serious looking at
the historical background of the entire concept so the spirit of cooperation
which has been established through the years would not be disturbed.
Ldstrom read a letter dated October 15, M2, and addressed to the Mayor
and Members of of the Eden Prairie Council, from Les Blacklock.
Mack said the trail shown on the south Anderson Lake is only a concept
-- the trail on the west side of south Anderson Lake is a woodchip trail
and not one which would be used year around. Discussion ensued on the
use of that trail and the fact it is now a deer corridor. Bentley said
any intrusion on the Anderson Lakes by boats would cause permanent damage
to the heron and egret rookeries, he would not like to see Any dredging of
any of the Lakes. Penzel said there is a City Ordinance which proh'bits
the use of boats on Anderson Lakes. Redpath said he wonders if the hoops
the City went through to put the Park together were worth it when he reads
what is proposed.
Ldstrom said Eden Prairie is very much in the park development business.
Ile said he was amused that once park land is acquired it must be developed.
Ile said we lose sight of the fact that some parks should be left in a
pristine state -- what area will we have which will remain that way?
Trevor Gettleman, E851 Hidden Oaks Drive, noted there seems to be a war in
regard to what will happen along the western shore of the southern Anderson
Lake. Ile noted tie had sat throught the October 4th meeting of the Parks,
Recreation ti Natural Resources Commission meeting with the Park Reserve
people and there had been no changes in tonight's presentation based on
continents made at that meeting. He said he and his neighbors would like
to have some. backing from the Council. They do not wish to have any sort
of trail along the western shore -- right now there is a fence along that
shore so those who live along that shore cannot get down to the lake. There
is a bluff along that area which is a natural habitat. Ile believes it is
all going to boil down to a philosophical battle with the Hennepin County
Park Reserve District.
John Bergan, 9705 Bentwood Drive, said they hear the ducks and geese along
the shore, but are unable to see them. It is too wet to walk behind their
homes -- espe,cially in wet years -- and they find it easy to abide by the
fact they arc not to go back there. He said he is scared to death when he
.9
c ��
City CUM I(iI tlinutes -9- October 19, 1932
hears the word "concept" because concepts have a way of turning into
reality. He would like to see an intrrprr,tativc center on the east
side. Ilo said he appreciates the CounciI's support and likes what he
hears they are saying regarding the Plan.
Bill Steinbicker, 9152 ileill Lake Road, said he finds it incongruous
that a wood chip trail would be placed so close on the western side,
but that the trail on the north side of the lake must be 100 feet back.
He said he sulmorts maintenance of the natural area. He would like to
see an interpretative center in the area which had been previously developed,
where there are presently roads, and leave the other portions untouched.
Warren Weck, C839 Hidden Oaks Drive, said he is concerned about the security
of his property and of that surrounding his. He said there really is nothing
to loos: at if there ,ere a vroodchip path because the undc?rgrowth is so high.
Ralph Nelson, 3747 Bentwood Drive, expressAd concern about the litter -- he
is a jogger and said no one picks up no more litter than he does and one
more path would only add to that.
Redpath asked "flow far in stone is this etched?" Mack said the Plan had
not been reviewed by the full boards of the Park Reserve District nor had
it been formally reviewed by the Bloomington City Council. In regard to
Gettlemarn's concern about lack of response, he noted that the same information
must be made availahie to each group to whom they are making the presentatiom.
and no channes will be made until after that. is done and all recommendations
have been heard.
Bentley asked why tho Plan had been drafted in conjunction with the City
of Bloomington and not with the City of Eden Prairie, Mack stated that in
the transfer document the City relinquished its rights to be a participating
party -- the City did not want to take an active role at the time the docu-
ments were signed. Lambert said the City had given up its right to be. an
implernonting agency but had not given up its right to comment -- Bloomington
still will operate portions included in the Park and therefore did not relin-
quish its rights.
Larry Gillette, wildlife biologist, said he is a fan of Blacklock -- he
has watched the various uses in the parks and said he finds the wildlife
to be very adaptable -- there is virtually no impact on the species - with
very feri exceptions - when the parks are develop(2d.The trails on the western
shore will hove no impact on the wildlife. Edstrom said it is time for
the human species to adapt -- let some areas remain as they have been.
Lambort noted the Parks, Recreation R Natural Resources Commission had
approved the Plan with the following changes: 1) delete the west trail
on the southern Anderson Lake; 2) delete the parking access road proposed
by the arrow -- althounh it is a concept; 3) to consider vehicle Parking
and access road east of Amsden I-lay. Lambert said he had spoken with Les
Blacklock earlier this week -- Blacklock still strongly opposes the trail
on the west. side of the Lake and feels it is a lmclstag2 area for the Park.
i
City Council Minutes 10- October 19, 1982
lie did not compare it to Wood Lake. Lambert again noted the vegetation
along that western shore where the cattails go out for 200 - 300 yards the only thing to look at, if there W(� re a path, would be a solid wall
of cattails or the backs of people's homes,
Gettleman called attention to a letter he had written to the Council.
Bergan asked the purpose of the trail on the west side of the Lake.
DeVeau said it mould be a connection of the Southern trail to the rhino
head area. lie said the other trails are quite far back from the Lake
and this would be the only opportunity to get close to the Lake and to
the cattails.
Mike Henry, chief landscape architect, Hennepin County Park Reserve District,
said the Plan still has to go through a number of phases yet. It will be
looked at and the problems will be 0 iminated.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to support the recommendations
of the Parks, Recreation & Nataral Resources Commission and to strongly urge
the Hennepin County Park Reserve District Staff and Commission to adopt the
City of Eden Prairie's position regarding the use of the west Anderson Lakes
comprehensive plan. Motion carried unanimously.
Dan Sl.ctterella, ,863 Hidden Oaks Drive, asked if the motion included the
moving of tl•e parking lot. Penzel said it did.
2. Report�n Conu 1dni t�Center
Edstrom asked about the changes in last month's figures. Director of
Community Services Lambert said low attendance was not a surprise as
September is the month when everyone is getting back to school and into
Fall activities -- the attendance will pica; up a little in October and
should be back to its peak in November.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
A. Bids for City Hall Roof Repair
City Manager Jullie noted his memorandum of October 18, 1982, in which the
bids were suuunarized.
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Redpath, to approve the All Weather Roof
Company bid of $22,950.00 for repair of the City Hall roof. Roll call vote:
Bentley, Edstruin, Redpath, and Penzel voted "aye." Motion carried unanimously.
B. Prairie Center Drive Settlement
City lianager Jullie called attention to a letter dated October 8, 1982, re;
City of Lden Prairie vs. Relf, et al, The attorney had informed Richard
Rosow of the City Attorney's office that his client was willing to settle
for the tenq,orary easement.
S f,
City Council Minutes -11- October 19, 1982
MOTION: Bentley proved, seconded by Rr_dpath, to approve the payment of
$6,460 as lull compensation for the Relf temporary easement. Roll call
vote: Bentley, Edstrom, Redpath, and Penzel voted "aye." Motion carried
unanimously.
C. Status of Landfill Permit
City Manager Jullie stated he, had cone through the, amended draft of the
permit. He said the Pollution Control Agency (PCA) had made several of the
changes the. City had requested: there are still some things which are not in-
cluded which he would like to see. These include the extension of the methane
barrier northerly about 500 feet, limits on the amount of change the Director
of the PCA can to to the Plan, improving the sampling for tonic organics test-
ing, and providing more test wells.
Jullie said one important matter concerned financial assurance. The City is
asking to be named in fa,/or of any certificate of insurance or bond which might
be necessary.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to continue the meeting past the 11:30 p.m.
time limit. Motion carried unanimously.
Discussion of the draft permit amendment ensued.
The consensus of the Council was to write a letter to the Pollution Control
Agency Board of Director-s and the Environirental Qudlity Board requesting a
Public Hearing and restating the City's position. The letter will be signed
by the Mayor and members of the Council.
D. Building Permit Applications in the Rural District
City Manager Jullied reviewed a recent meeting with John Hansen in regard
to a three acre parcel in the Rural District on Eden Prairie Road. Jullie
asked whother or not Staff should recommend or suggest that property owners
go to the Board of Appeals. Edstrom said he did not think that type of change
is an appropriate variance.
City Attorney Pauly said he had written a memorandum on this sometime during
the past year which said that even though a five acre (now 1D acre) parcel
existed prior to 1969 there is no requirement to grant a building permit --
if a landowner has some use of his land (farming, etc.), this is considered,
by the Courts, to be reasonable use of the land.
Discussion followed and the Council agreed to continue with its present
policy.
City Council Minutes -12- October 19, 1982
E. Memorandum from the City_Attorn.�y. (continued from VIII. C.
I City Attorney Pauly addressed his memorandum of October 19, 1982, which
outlined the procedures relative to certain zoning and rezoning matters
(a copy is attached.) He noted the Council noy direct Staff to prepare written
reasons supporting either the denial of a rezoning request or the adoption
of the proposed zoning ordinance.
Edstrom said he agreed with this very much. He liked the procedure used
this eveninq whereby findings were acted upon after the Public Hearing
had been held.
X. ADJOUi;NENT

Motion carried unanimously.

SUBJECT: Skating Rinks
At the Octotcr 1Bth meeting, the Recreation Supervisor provided a Skating
Rink Program Report to the Parks, Recreation u Natural Resources Commission
(a copy of that Octobor 13th Report is attached). At the meeting,several
members of the Cowniission expressed concern over the cost of mini-rinks
and the justiiicat.ion for those rinks that seem to get very little use.
At that meeting the Conarission made the following recommendation:
"Jensen moved to recom;a;end to the Council that the City eliminate the
provision of neighborhood mini-rinks on the basis of their cost and limited
use. With five major rinks with warming houses and a Community Center in
the City, this Commission Feels they arc no longer essential. Schwartz
seconded the motion and it carried unanimously."
The Community Services Staff agree that mini-rinks receive very limited
use, with the possible exception of the Topview mini-rink which seems
to get more use than the other mini-rinks. Community Services Staff
would reco;iunend the City Council consider eliminating skating rinks without
warming houses at Hidden Ponds Park, Lake Eden Park, Red Rock Park, and the
rink at Crestwood Terrace.
The new rink at Staring Lake Park will be open on Saturdays and Sundays
and during daylight horns on holidays. The Community Services Staff is
also planning on plowing a skating track around the perimeter of Round
Lake to reduce the pressure for larger skating areas that aren't in
competition with hockey players.

DATE: November 11, 1982
We are enclosing a resolution to which is attached a
summary of Ordinance No. 8-82 relating to the Edenvale 15th Addition
rezoning. In essence, the resolution authorizes publication of a
summary of an ordinance together with notice that a printed copy is
available for inspection at the office of '.he City Clerk rather than
publication of the full text of the ordinance. Prior to an amendment
to Minnesota Statutes Section 412.191, Subd. 4, the publication of
an ordinance could not be summarized. Because of its bulky
nature the developer's agreement was not
published even though it was referred to by reference in the ordinance.
We believe that publication of the summary of the developer's agree-
ment together with the ordinance will strengthen the legal status of
the developer's agreement. Since codification has now been accomplished
we believe this is an appropriate time to commence the new procedure.
It should be noted that M.S. Section 412.191, Subd. 4, requires
that the authorization to publish the summary in lieu of the full text,
i.e. adoption of the enclosed resolution, must be by a 4/5
vote of tW wmbers of the Council.

RESOLUTION NO. qd-a t, 0
RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE AUTHORIZATION AND
ISSUANCE OF REVENUE BONDS OF THE CITY UNDER MIN-
NESOTA STATUTES, CHAPTER 474, FOR THE PURPOSE OF
FINANCING A PROJECT THEREUNDER; GIVING PRELIMIN-
ARY APPROVAL TO THE PROJECT A14D AUTHORIZING AN
APPLICATION BY THE CITY TO THE MINNESOTA COMMIS-
SIONER OF ENERGY, PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the Council)
of the City of Eden Prairie, Hennepin County, Minnesota
(the City), as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. The Legislature of the State of Minnesota
in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 474, as amended (the Act),
has found and declared that the welfare of the State
requires active promotion, attraction, encouragement and
development of economically sound industry and commerce
through governmental acts to prevent, so far as possible,
emergence of blighted lands and areas of chronic
unemployment; has authorized municipalities to issue
revenue bonds to finance, in whole or in part, the cost of
the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, improvement
and betterment of projects, including any properties, real
or personal, used or useful in connection with a revenue
producing enterprise engaged in any business; and has
authorized municipalities to enter into "revenue
agreements," as defined in the Act, with any person, firm,
or public or private corporation or federal or state
governmental subdivision or agency (the Contracting Party)
providing for the payment by the Contracting Party of
amounts sufficient to provide for the prompt payment of
principal of and interest on the revenue bonds.
-3-
1, 1.02. It has been proposed that the City issue
its revenue bonds, pursuant to the authority granted by
the Act, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$510,000, or such lesser amount as may be necessary, to
finance costs of acquisition of land within the City and
construction and equipping thereon of one or more
buildings (the Project) to be owned and operated by
George S. Konik, an individual residing in the State of
Minnesota, or a partnership to be formed in which
George S. Konik has more than a fifty percent (50%)
interest (the Borrower), and leased to Parkview- Centers,
Inc., a Minnesota corporation, for use as office
facilities; and to make the proceeds of such sale
available to the Borrower. The Borrower will agree to pay
the City amounts sufficient- to pay promptly the principal
of and interest on the revenue bonds, and will agree to
cause the Project to be completed. The Project is
presently estimated to cost approximately $566,600.
1.03. The City has been advised that
conventional, commercial financing to pay the capital cost
of the Project is available only on a limited basis and at
such high costs of borrowing that the scope of the Project
or the eco,iomic feasibility of operating the Project would
be significantly reduced, but that with the aid of
municipal financing, and its resulting low borrowing
costs, the Project can be constructed as designed and its
operation is economically more feasible.
Section 2. Public Hearing.
2.01. As required by Section 474.01, Subdivision
7b, of the Act, this Council held a public hearing on the
proposal to undertake and finance the Project. Notice of
the time and place of the hearing, and stating the general
nature of the Project and an estimate of the principal
amount of bonds to be issued to finance the Project, was
published at least once not less than fifteen (15) days
nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for
the hearing, in the official newspaper of the City and a
newspaper of general circulation of the City. A draft
copy of the proposed application to the Minnesota
Commissioner of Energy, Planning and Development, together
with all attachments and exhibits thereto, was available
for public inspection following the publication of such
notice at the place and times set forth in the notice.
2.02. All parties who appeared at the public
hearing were given an opportunity to express their views
-4-
with respect to the proposal to undertake and finance the
Project. This Council has heard and considered the views
expressed at the public hearing and the information
submitted to the City by the Borrower.
Section 3. Approvals and Authorizations.
3.01. On the basis of information given the City
to date, and the views expressed at the public hearing, it
is found and determined that the Project furthers the
purposes stated in Section 474.01 of the Act, and that it
would be in the best interest of the City to issue its
industrial development revenue bonds under the provisions
of the Act to finance costs of the Project in an amount
not to exceed $510,000 (the Bonds).
3.02. The Project is hereby given preliminary
approval by the City and the issuance of the Bonds for
such purpose approved. The Bonds shall not be issued
until the Project has been approved by the Commissioner of
Energy, Planning and Development, as provided by the Act,
and until the City and the Borrower have agreed upon the
details of the Bonds and provisions for their payment.
3.03. If the Bonds are issued and sold, the City
will enter into a lease, mortgage, direct or installment
sale contract, loan agreement, take or pay or similar
agreement, secured or unsecured, satisfying the
requirements of the Act (the Revenue Agreement) with the
Borrower. The amounts payable by the Borrower to the City
under the Revenue Agreement will be sufficient to pay the
principal, interest and redemption premium, if any, on the
Bonds as and when the same shall become due and payable.
3.04. The Borrower has agreed to pay directly or
through the City any and all costs incurred by the City in
connection with the Project whether or not the Project is
approved by the Commissioner of Energy, Planning and
Development; whether or not the Project is carried to
completion; and whetner or not the Bonds or Revenue
Agreement and all other operative instruments are executed.
3.05. The adoption of this resolution does not
constitute a guarantee or a firm commitment that the City
will issue the Bonds as requested by the Borrower. The
City retains the right in its sole discretion to withdraw
from participation and accordingly not issue the Bonds
should the City at any time prior to the issuance thereof
determine that it is in the best interest of the City not
to issue the Bonds or should the City, Borrower and any
—5—
'1 J I.
other parties to the transaction be unable to reach
agreement as to the terms and conditions of any of the
documents required for the transaction.
3.06. In accordance with the Act, the Mayor and
City Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to submit
the proposal for the Project to the Minnesota Commissioner
of Energy, Planning and Development for approval. The
Mayor, City Clerk, City Attorney and other officers,
employees and agents of the City, in conjunctign with
Dorsey 6 Whitney, Bond Counsel to the City, are hereby
authorized to provide the Commissioner with any
preliminary information necessary for this purpose, and
the City Attorney is authorized to initiate and assist in
the preparation of such documents as may be appropriate to
the Project.
3.07. The City will cause the Borrower to comply
with all of the provisions of the Act, including Section
474.01, Subdivision 8, thereof, in the issuance of the
Bonds and the financing of the Project.
3.08. All commitments of the City expressed
herein are subject to the condition that within twelve
months of the date of adoption of this resolution, the
City and the Borrower shall have agreed to mutually
acceptable terms and conditions of the Revenue Agreement,
the Bonds and of the other instruments and proceedings
relating to the Bonds and their issuance and sale. If the
events set forth herein do not take place within the time
set forth above, or any extension thereof, and the Bonds
are not sold within such time, this resolution shall
expire and be of no further effect.
Section 4. Special Obligations.
In all events, it is understood, however, that
the Bonds shall not constitute a charge, lien or
encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of the
City except the Project, if it becomes the property of the
City, and from the revenues received from the Project and
property pledged to the payment thereof, and shall not
constitute a debt of the City.
Section 5. Effective Date.
This resolution shall be effective immediately
upon its final adoption.

RE: C.S. 2785 (I-494)
in Eden Prairie
Dear Mr. Lee:
fFor about eight years we have been working with the City of Eden Prairie to
devolop plans for transportation imp:ovtments for more efficient and safer
access to the :aajor renter that has devr.loped near the I-494/T.11. 5/T.11. 169
1 interc:ianEe. The improvcrents that rye specifically have been involved in
include the intercha:x,e with Sr),coner roulevard between CSA11 1S and T.11. 169
on 1-494, the up l;rac'.ing of old T.11. 169 h;t :ern CSAH 60 (Valley View ltoad)
( and test 78th Street, ;:nd the proposed one.-l;alf diac,m:d interchange at I-494
1 and CSAH 60. 1:n/Ih)T has previously arced to participate financially ill all
but the interchange at CSAH 60, although I'm sure we would contribute sub-
Stantial right of way to this interchange.
Now, of course, the State's economic picture is quite bleak and we have had
to inform Eton Prairie thit En/1101' has re:novad these projects from its pro-
f gram ncbedule. This is especially di:tressing to us because Eden Prairie
authorizcd the sale of bonds in the a:ca of $5 million to finance portions
t of tlinn _ _.cmcnt '•_,-ed in nart c:. ocr :in.ncial cc..:litecr.t. :Ice:, -c
find it isipossible to contribute financially.
We fe•rl the d,:scribed projects are pris,o rxam.plcs of what transportation pro-
jects can do in concert with private invcstvent to broaden the tax base in
a cocn:unity and provide economic vitality.
In rry own opinion, I see _•nmt. m iclicf to our funding situation fro tic 1981
ler,islature. I do not src,,ho.ever, ade•,uatc financial rrsourecs in the ucxt

1 REC'.RDIt;G: Major Center Area Road Irr,rovemcnts
In the late 1960's, Eden Prairie was designated by the I"atropolitan Planning
Cersgiss`on as a Lon,nunity which should contain a Constellation Center regional
eo:i,:,ercial area.
That agency recognized that the intersection of US 169-212 and TH 5, with I-494
(the belt line) would bring together volumes of traffic that would support a
regional co:,c;,ercial center. Just as I-494/694 operates on a regional scale as a
belt line to carry regional traffic throughout the metropolitan area, Eden Prairie
adopted the ccncr_pt of a Ring Poad, around the I-494 major interchange, to provide
access to surrounding properties and distribute traffic from these regional roads
(TH 5, US i69-212, 1-494) to buisnesses that would service the southwest area.
T Tha idea of the Constellation Center and Ring Road were adopted in Eden Prairie's
first Co:,,prchensive Guide Plan in 1968. This plan was further refined in 1973 in
the Major Center Area Planned Unit Cevelopr,.ent.
.r
Eden Prairie l.egan rapid develop,.,_nt in the early 1970's, because of its geographic
position in the !Lotro politan area and because of quick access to major employment
centers via I-494. This quick access was a key factor in precipitating our resid-
ential devc10-:%r,nt, enlarging our population from 6,8DO in 1968, 265%' upward to a
current population of 13,000.
` However, priir:ary access to major roads for develo,,ment is limited, especially
around a frcc.,ay interchange. because of Eden Prairie's road planning efforts in
the ha,jor Center Area, growth hegan to occur in anticipation of a Ring Road system
which r:ould cake accept::ble access available to co::nercial properties. Homart
} ShoPping (ruler is an excellent example of a coui;:any which built in anticipation
of the read s tc•m, which is yet to he built. A high si,op v.,cancy rate is the
result of I;oor access in this situation. H umart felt the following conditions
were necessary for opening their center in 1915:
"THE IMPROVEM MTS REQUIRED FOR OPLNING CENTER
Roads
Homart, its consultants, and the Village have been working together to
accomplish the necessary road improvemcrnts required by opening.
A. Ideally, t!,e entire Village ring route and co,rplete intersections
should be complete by the opening date of the center.
Realistically, a portion of this ultimate system is required by
early su,I.:)er of 1975.

5. Temporary off rr!mp from westbound 1-494 to 169-212.
6. Necessary signializzation.
Most of these im.prevements must be requested through the Village to the
State."
Celco, Cabriole Center, 11cirtford, all have built in anticipation of road systems
not built. Poor access, traffic congestion, and s-.cwed growth are the result.
Super Valu has built its corporate headquarters in anticipation of 1-494 ramps
at Valley View Road. 11-!cnard's 15 acres developed out of 73 owned sites at the end
of a long privately built service road. The Ring Route in the 716nard's area would
give access to the balance of their parcel.
Condon Naegelp 'Realty rf�ceived approval in 1975 for approximately 60 acres of
cr,!-,aLrcjal along the north side of 11-494. Although a major grading project was
co!T-pleted to pr(pa;e the property for buildings, since the anticipated access to
1-494 did not materialize, the property is still vacant today.
CNR, in their application to the City Council stated:
"Presently, the high.qay network consists of four existing or projected
freev.ay facilities: Interstate 494, County Road 18, Trunk Highway
169-212 and the Crosstc-.:n 62 as well as Trunk Highway 5. This roadway
system must be supplemented with local dispersal routes to channel
automobile flow to and from the Ring Road which c-,pl function as the
transfer mechanism be',%-.cLn those two road types."
The Prn.sc-rve Coiri,ercial Area PUD, which was approved in 1975, but is largely
unbuilt today, expected the following:
6. Critical Public recisions
In order to i;Tiplv7-!cnt the development of The Preserve com-
morcial KID area and to assure that'the area can successfully
be developed as a viable culeric"cial devLlop:;,ent, the following
public actions will be required:
a. The City of F(!on Prairie, in cor,;,�.)ration with other
i. public aj,,ricies, including the �Mirll),`Xta
Doparti;:ent, Will LCY:Iplete the dcvel,,t1w-,,nt of the Ring
Route. Of particular importance are the access ramps
or C;:,,i::r ,,:-Ca "r,::d ir.� ,... ..nts pare 3
to I-494 and the completion of the scuthk,est.leg of the
Ring '.oute from U.S. 109 to T.H. 5. Without these im-
prove,',2nts provided in the n,�ar future, The Preserve
will be unable to capture the initial ca:mercial uses
nr:cessary to fully implement the cor.;::�ercial development
plan.
b. The Minnesota Highway Department will agree upon access,
design standards and the upgrading of U.S. 169 by the
fall of 1975, to provide adequate access to the proposed
co;:'erciat dc:velu;;,'ent .yest and south�,.est of the fiorart
Center.
c. The City of Eden Prairie will provide utilities to all
parcels upon petition for service per the schematic plans
at timing co;,�:,:ensurate with phasing plan.
d. The City of Eden Prairie will amend the Ring Route asses-
sr.ent district lines to conforn with the boundaries of the
proposed development and to exclude the scenic easement
area until such timS that development rights to the prop-
erty are utilized.'
Gelco, in 197R, expected improved road access to service their expansion.
"TRAIISPU TAT ION
The proposed expansion to 2,500 people on the expanded Gelco site
j will generate around 2,000 ADT which will adversely affect the traffic
flow on t'.est loth Street.
Top priority should be given by the City to the completion of Schooner
Boulevard and its on-off ramps to and from 1-494.
Several transit options exist for Eden Prairie as outlined in the
'Transit Potential tr,ter•im Report'. Eden Prairie Center is expected
to be center of activity in the area and seems to be the logical
location for several transit alternatives. These include Coordinated
( Transfer Service, Park-N-Ride, Service & Car and Van Pooling. Others
j riot necessarily depen:ent on Eden Prairie Center as a cen4ral location
are fixed Routo Deviatiun and Demand Responsive Service.'
I� Hartford, in 1979, felt the following improvements were crucial to its development:
I 3.5 1RANSPCRTATION
3.5.1 Area Roadway System
x Major improver,nnts are plannr�d for the roadway systems
located in 0io I,'.en Prairie ;•aior center area. The
pro;,osrrd ',cries of 1-011";13y irirrove;,-:nts that would have
the greatest impact upon the proposed site is the exten-.
lion of Schooner Boulevard to the north, passing under
-,r r page 4
the I-494 and connecting to t!,c TH 1G9, C.c,,;,,',y Road 60
interchange. In conjunctic,n with this, � kalf-diai!iund
(to the would Le cc.,Istrucled to Pro-
vide ;nterstate access fiu;n 'lie Schr,:jner F.Cule-
vard. Access to/from the 111st.for 1-494 and IH 169 would
be retained by the provision of a pair of collector
distributor rcadways.
The ultimate plan for Schooner Boulevard (ring road) is
to Cij-CU,ivent the major centers area providing for access
from all directions to the ring road.
T Also importarLt to site access is the proposal •to widen
the existing two-lane TH 169 to a four-lane facility.
Areawide projections of traffic volumes are contained in
the Hennepin County Transportation System Study. The
volumes were projected to the year 2000 on a roadway
system that included completion of the Eden Prairie major
center area ring road. The projections indicate that
15,000 vehicles per day Will use Schooner Boulevard
adjacent to the proposed offic6 develop;iLnt'site.
The City of Han Prairie has prepared a roadway improve-
ment schedule for these numerous projects. This schedule
is illustrated on Table 1. The time table, while subject
to chance, contains the most up-to-date information and
completion dates for these improvements.
3.5.2 Site Generated Traffic Projections
Eased upon historic traffic data for projects of this
type, future projections of traffic generated by the
proposed office development can be rude. Office develop-
ments exhibit peak traffic conditions during the morning
'rush hour' , ashen inhound traffic peaks, and during the
evening 'rush hour' when oufound traffic is at its
highest level. Table 2 provides site venerated traffic
projections for the two peak hours and on a daily basis.
The traffic projections have been prepared for the Phase
I development and for the ultfi;,ate proposal.

3.5.3 Direc ti•,ns of Approach
The directions of approach for vehicular traffic must he
established in order to assign site generated traffic to
�the area roadway system. The dit%ction approach Pst-
of
imates for this sit.e have been e.,uto!-,ninrd by utilizing
1900 population projections provided by the Metropolitan
Council. A pri;:'ary area located within a 7.5 mile radius
of the site and a secondary area located within a tefi
mile radius of the site w-re identified for purposes of
Lstablishirr' Copulation location data. Directions of
approach indicated on Figure 19, were then derived 'based
on population location and location of available approach
routes.
3.5.4 Traffic Assignment
The assignment of traffic to the area roadway system is
accomplished by utilizing the site generated traffic pro-
jections indicated on Table 2 and the directions of approach
illustrated on FiCure 19. Peak hour site generated traffic
r estimates are indicated on Figures 6 and 7 for both Phase I
and the ultimate development proposal. The site traffic
assignment for Phase I assumes the use of the existing area
ro.d,;ay systems v.-hile the assicn.-.,ent for the ultimate develop-
ment assumes the extension of Schooner Boulevard to 1-494.
While the site traffic generated by the off-ice devLloprrent
proposal aids in the determination of the access roadway
require;;,ents, there are Other traffic components to consider.
For purposes of this study, this traffic component will be
called non-site traffic. Non-site traffic will consist of
through traffic along Schooner Boulevard not having the
office site as their destination plus an estimate of traffic
generated by those parcels ii;r,.ediately adjacent to Schooner
Boulevard that wi'il utilize the same access as the office
generated traffic.
Projected traffic volumes have been prepared for this area.
As a part of the Hennepin County Transportation System
Study. This study indicates that 15,000 vehicles per day
are projected in the year 2000. TO travel along that por-
tion of Schooner Boulevard located adjacent to the site.
These projections were utilized to aid in determining site
access roquirce;unts. Based on those projected traffic
volu;nes, assignment of total traffic (site plus non-site)
was node. Peak hour total traffic projections for Phase I
are illustrated on Figure 20. peak hour projections for
the ultimate Ovelot17,orit are illustrated on Figure 21.
The traffic a�.signi;.c-nts for Phase I ecvelop:nont are based
on the utilization of the existing 3roa roadway system ,
while ossiqni,,c-nt for the ultir;ato development assume the
extension, to the north, Of SLhr),uner Boulevard and provision
of the additional intur-016F19C capability.

3.5.5 Site Access °
Censfdr:riuy the traffic volu;;.es c•�nerated by the Pf,ase I
develop ,ent in conjunction with thre,;cn' (nun-site) traf-
fic, one point of ingrrts/cr;ress will provide very efficient
access while not hir,;,,:ring thro: h traffic movement. The
intersection prcvidiny access to the site should be desiyned
to provide full mover3nt capability. An exclusive left
and right turn lane aic>ng Sch�uonvr Eoulevard should contain
jtwo iubpund and t.;o outt,o;:nd l,:r.rs. The outbound right
turn lane should be consiri;::ted to facilitate unint:rupted
traffic novr:.ent. An accelrration lane should be provided
along Schooner boulevard. Two points of ingress/egress
are required to provide access to the ultiir,ate development.
The traffic volhw;ics associated with the ultimate develo,:rent
f indicate that exclusive dual left-turn lames along Schooner
1 Boulevard will be required at the northern intersection.
This conclusion is drawn from a critical movement, level
of service analysis (contained in Appendix A) which indi-
cates a level of service F that requires a single turn lane
and a level of service B that requires dual left-turn lanes.
This level of service is acceptable for a situation of this
type. The reco ,mended intersection design for Phase I 1�nd
the ultimate dr:velopT.ent are illustrated on Figure 24.
i
Develo,ncnt in Eden Prairie has followed the completion of Regional roads. Resid-
ential develup,..cnt has collie first; hoa.es being built after roads are co;:ipleted.
1 local co.:-.,crcial develel,:nent !;as sprung up to service this residential population,
but regieral office and cos;e:�:rcial has been stifled by the lack of good regional
access. By way of cu::Parison; Burnsville Shopping Center was started by iiomdrt
after Fdan Prairie Center, but today is a bustling Regional Center, surrounded
by several sl,;,iorting slopping malls. The access to the Center off of 35W is
quick (via a full dic:rand, stop lights and four lane road,;ays), understandable,
and easy.
Eden Prairie Shopping Center access is one sided from I-494 and slow (on two
lane reads) from TH 5. Access from US 169/212 is good from the south but dis-
jointed fr'u..Tl the north.
It is cry opinion, that since the southwost area of the metro-area is the fastest
growing aroa in the state, (with a high per capita income} if congestion can be
reduced and access improved in the t•lajor Center Area, rapid growth will result
in the traditionally established pattern of development followinq roads. If
access c.,nnot be i;.proved, growth will stagnate as more accessible coroiercial
areas retain a co;;rl)etative advantage over Eden Prairie.

RE: Traffic Safety of Development District No. 1 Improvements
aI have revier•:ed the traffic accident history in the Development District No. 1
and the proposed road improvr-r:,ents (eoruronly k.no•m as Schooner Blvd). It
is my opinion that the Schooner Boulevard improvements will significantly
improve traffic safety in tire area both for local traffic and thru motorists.
d Presently, motorists in, or passing through the development area, must use
d the complicated and overloaded intersections of 494/169/78th St./Valley
Vice, Road. The result is a significant number of traffic accidents involving
-:� property damage, personal injury and unfortunately a much too high fatality
record. In other words, the existing system forces both local traffic and
thru motorists thrc:rgh a much too complicated and congested road system.
The proposed Schouner Boulevard will certainly not eliminate these statistics,
but will greatly improve them.
The primary advantage of the ir�provenients is that it will significantly
{ increase the number of opportunities for motorists to enter and leave the
development area. This factor alone will decrease the congestion at major
intersections and improve safety. Additionally, the road improvements
i will alloy, a sogrogation of local and thru motorists which will allow a
j smoother flow of traffic.
This strategy for improving traffic flow and safety is not a new concept and
has a proven record. The proposed improvements are of the same nature as the
494/694 route around the metropolitan area, but on a reduced scale.

Attention: Eden Prairie major Center Owners
Dear Sir:
As a prop(:rt.y owner in the Major Center Area of the City of
Eden Prairie, Minnesota, you are undoubtedly familiar with the
reconnandation of the Eden Prairie Development CondsHon for
the adoption of a Development Di-strict and Tax Increment Financing
Plan to provide a needed and critical stimulus to the major Center
Area. I am taki"g this opportunity to encourage you to indicate
or re-emphasize your support for this important and creative
measure.
An integral part of the Plan is the inAmsion of other sources of
revonue in the form of special assessments and taxes authorized
from im1novem-nts pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429
as wwnaud. in October of 1974, a number of property owners
including FredQrs, Inc.,Iocate.d in the south west quadrant of the
Major Center Area, appealed the City of Eden Prairie's adoption
of sp 'vial ...sus:monts and the related asscssmpnt role pursuant
to City Resolution Number 866 establishing assessment policies
for the so-called Major Center Area Ring Read Project STR 72-9-26
and further adopting Resolution Number 903, a Resolution approving
phase I, special assessments for Ring Road Project STR 72-9-26.
1,he basis of the prolarLy owner's opposition at that time was
the fact that the cost of constructing and implementing the public
impiuvements for the Major Center Area far exceeded the benefit or
utility of the proposed project and also exceeded substantially
the ston0ard costs for industrial streets in the City of Eden
prairie. Fecders, Inc. and, I am sure, other property owners
felt that they had no alternative but to resist this uneven tax
burden.
The present pl,in incorporated in the Development District Number I
and Tax Increment Financing Plan which the City Council is consider-
ing on Tu,':,Tq, SepU&wr 15, 1981, cqdmhwtes these inequities
and piorvM,s a fair allocation of the costs of improving the Major
C, ni( r 7,1 k, I. The J'I('1)os('d will )>(,' como,lrablc to any
similar inaurt-rial street within the City of Eden Prairie.

aFr,,d„rs, Inc. has advised JAje City of its .intention to diemiss the.
out:st;:nding swm(mt appeal of nctcbur, 1974 upon r:pproval of
�. t1je Tar Jncrcmant Financing Plan and rebated public improvement
and assossment, resolutions. I would stro;ugly encourage you to
indicate your intentions in this regard to Mr. Carl Jule, City
t;anaUcr, in order to assist the City Council and staff in moving
J ahead with the Tax Incrainent Financing Plan and other steps
necessary for the dcvelopmtrnt of this important project.

Mr. Gene Dietz
City of Eden Prairie
8950 Eden Prairie Road
Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344
Dear Gene:
I would like to confirm our discussions of the past week regarding the preparation
of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the Eden Prairie Ring Road project.
After reviewing the scope of the project in its entirety, it was not apparent that
the project fell into a T-nandatory category requiring the preparation of an EAW.
S A contact was mdde with the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) and the EQB represen-
tative concurred in our conclusion that the project did not fall into any category
f requiring an EAW, other than possible wetland impacts which he was not qualified
t to respond to.
A contact was not made with the Department of Natural Resources in regards to the
wetland impact question. It is unlikely that this project would be considered as
an action which "will eliminate or significantly alter a wetland of Type 3, 4 or
5 of five or more acres."
It is our opinion that the project will have minimal adverse impact on the quality
( of the environment.

City t-!.in„qcr Jullie stated copies of the plan had been forwarded to the Council on
August 18, 1981, and on August 27, MI, were made available for public inspection.
He said the City is to use tax increment financing in conjunction with
other funding so;irces in cider to accowplish some touch nc'2ded and long sought road
iriprov(.rents in and around the City's MAjor Center Area. Jullie cited the objectives
(page 1-1 of the Plan, a copy of which is attached to these Minutes) which the City
hopes to achieve through the Development Program. Jullie outlined the Development
District on a i;;,jp and described the parcels included in the Tax Increment District.
Jullic explained the capital cost of the ir,iprover,ents as outlined on page 4-4 of
the Plan as well as how th,,se costs will be financed. He reviewed the traffic acci-
dents which have occurred in this area in the past 61-, years, Jullie said that in
addition to City Staff, Jim Reyer and Dick Graves from the D'Connur & Hannan law
firm, the City's pond counsel, and Bill Fahey, the City's financial consultant, were
present and v.,ould be happy to address any questions.

Planned Unit Development,` dated June 1973,
Robert Boblett, 22 Greenway Gables, Minneapolis, a real estate broker specializing
in industrial property, who is also an appraiser, counselor and property manager,
addressed the Plan. Roblett stated he has been in real estate since 1946; was a mem-
ber of the Minneapolis City Planning Commission for nine years, latterly as its Pres-
idelit; served one year on the Metropolitan Planning Commission; and for a number of
years served on the l,',jrjj,.eipolis City Charter Commission. He said he has seen Eden
Prairie emerge fl.om a rural , pastoral, idyllic place of beauty to a bustling place
of business. Eden Prairie is now probably one of the two or three outstanding pro-
spective sites for industry as we now know it; industry in this metropolitan area
is attractive and clean. Eden Prairie cor,,pptcs with Plymouth and Minnetonka for
this industry. Boblett said he serves on a committee which advises 11innegasco on
The Preserve; he served as a counselor to Minnegasco, and Associated Dry Goods (Powers)
at the time the Nen Prairie Center was being established; his company sold the
property now ov;ned by Hartford to the Pillsbury Company, the sale of which was not
concluded because PillShUry opted to stay downtown; later his company sold the land
to Hartford Insurance which he hopes will soon be of benefit to the City. Boblett
said he does not claim to be an expert on Eden Prairie, but he does feel he has a
degree of familiarity with the City.
The fil-ill of O'Connor & Hannan had shown him the Plan and asked him to respond.
Bc)hl(,tt noted th.:lt over the years he has found it interesting that the Nacqe1e pro-
perty has failed to develop and he has been aware of the struggles of the Shopping
Center. It has beco:;,e quite clear to him that the Shopping Center must really be
made to succeed or the peripheral development will not occur, He cited the develop-
ment of fast food, office buildings, clinics, and the like around Southdale, Brook-
dale, and the other "Dales." He does not think Eden Prairie is experiencing that
to the degree which should be expr,cted. That can he ascribed to troublesome egress
and inciress. FOIeLt thinks the Plan certainly OL)(jllt to be of great relief to the
bottIcii-ocking of access to the Center for one thing,
city co,;,.� it Sep!cr,ber 15, 1981

building:, ',Iippliers of ralcrial, yr'a+:• rs of �Iruund, installers of pipe, etc. All
of which, in his opinion, is going to d-uunt to appreciation of the value of the
laud :,!rich the A<,,r.;.or will discover and levy taxes one and which will help the
City cuff+:rs.
Boblett eras as,kod to respond to three points. Will the Plan result in the preser-
vetir.m and rn!.onroc�nt of the tax ba',e of Eden Prairie? He said it would, Will
the Plan rc,ult in incrc s+'d un,i,luyn,r•nt in the City? He said there is such mobility
in t- i;l,;y, r,t nr!w thr.t he didn't know if a curtain nu,.;txr of jobs could be ascribed
to Ld:n Pr+:ir-ie, but it wnuld be to the City benefit. Will the Plan discourage
cum;,uorre, industry, or r,ar:ufacturing frum riuving op:rations to `(mother State? Bob-
lett stated that. anything that is good in terms of encouragement of job opportunities
cannot. fail to achieve such an end.
Sob 1rtt said, in his opinion, the Plan is an ecoriomic good for tire City of Eden
Prairie; and, as a real estate economist he could see no reason not to give the
Plan favorable consideration.
P,edpath asked what specific dollar amount has been lost due to reduced or lost
taxes from the Fdcn Prairie Center. Jullie said City Assessor itartz's memo noted
approxic,ately $750,000,
Bentley asked to have the historical background addressed for those who might not
be totally familiar with what hat, occurred. Engor spoke to the question, noting
the,Metropolitin Planning Commission had designated the 169/494/TH5 area as a con-
stellation center in the 1960's. Subsequent to that date, Eden Prairie took that lead
and in its 1964 Guide flan designated the area as a Major Center Area and recognized
that ,ircess was poor. In that original concept a ring route was illustrated as a
collector/distributor route. In the 1973 Major Center Area Task Force Report this
concept was again refined and the need for a ring route was shown. The City attempted
to put togother financing in terms of identifying the various County, State and Fed-
eral agencies that would help with the improvements. The City felt it had
coromit, rtnts from these groups and developers did rely on the City's plans and repre-
sentations from the various governmental agencies that road improvements would be
forthcur;ifig. Over tho course of time those cormitwents have faltered. The 1979 Guide
Plan again reinforced the idea of the ring route as the only method of correctly dis-
trihuting traffic around the cloverleaf intersection. With the Federal, State and
County funding cutbacks the City finds itself having to take on much of this respon-
sibility.
Martin Diostler, 9905 Bluff Road, questioned the method used for assessing the Shop-
ping Center. lie also asked wi;at the Plan would cost him in tax dollars. Penzel ex--
plain��d certain portions of thr, project were construed to be of community-wide bene-
fit and therefore a general city-wide levy mould be made. He also explained the Henne-
pin Cocnt.y A,'.rs>,or's Office is responsible for assessing the value of shopping centers
in the County and this value is considered to be related to the total amount of busi-
ness tl,me. Uiestic.r asked how lung it would be before the increased taxation on the
properties would take effect. Penzel explained the tax increment financing concept.
City Cr,uicil 15, 1981
P-(!; ,th ai,A,od „'.,it the value of the prof;orties within the tax increir.ent financing
distri,_t is at this tir:e and wh,rt it might he in th., future. Fahey said the esti-
d mated currrrit value is S5,863,000; the projectod vaLre of the property with just
the projects and rl;ay now would be estimated at ?16,,'.54,00O or an increase in value
of $21 million.
E.J. Hopkins, l?316 Oxbow Drive, asl�ed if the population estimate of 60,000 was
an accurate projection. Penze.l stated that estimates have varied widely in the
past ten years but the estimate falls sourwhere bctwoen 40,000 and 60,000, Hopkins
asked if the Flan includes improving TH 169. Jullie explained that MnDOT has in-
cluded upgrL,ding of the bridge over 1494 in its construction program, which will be
a r!ajor im;,rovcrent.
Sidney Pauly, 17450 i..est 78th Street, expressed concern regarding the motives behind
the Cooley letter. She noted the letter must have been an expensive proposition.
It is her understanding Cooley has interest in cor,„nercial property about three miles
north of the F'.ajor Center Area in Minnetonka. Although she believes he is philo-
sophically opposed to tax increment districts, hie applied for tax increment financing
for his property. She feels it is in the best interests of Eden Prairie to proceed
with the Plan.
Ed Rollin, 15415 Morraine Way, asked what trro mills means in terms of tax dollars,
Finance Director Frane said a mill is equal to $23.
Paul Sylvander, 16451 Hilltop Road, asked for reassurance these figures will not
be skyrocketing, Penzel said the fact the properties on which the tax increments
will be captured are now in existence Means the costs of the project, except for
the two mill levy, are covered. There is not a question as to whether these things
will materialize or not. One has to assume there will be substantial growth through-
out the City; consequently the tax base of the City will grow and the need for City
participation will diminish.
Bradley Hoyt, 69E5 Jeremy Court, further explained how commercial properties are
taxed. As a covimcrcial developer, he expressed the need for the projects proposed
in the Plan. Dice access into the area is achieved, development will. occur and the
tax base will be further broadened. fie feels it is not an increase in taxes, but
rather sorething which must he done. It is his opinion that the Plan would be
detrimental frour Mr. Cooley's standpoint in that Cooley owns or controls a sizeable
amount of land -- the closest area into the Loop that presently has fluid ingress
and egress.
William Cooley, 2202 Fleeting Street, Minnetonka, introduced himself as the person
who sent the letter to Eden Prairie residents (a copy of which is attached.) He
expressed concern as a Hennepin County and State of ilinnesota taxpayer that tax
monies will be used to build roads in the development area. He would prefer to
see the cost assessed against the benefited property owners. He stated he does
own 100 acress of land north of this project, and he did apply for tax increment
financing for $146,000 to do some subsurface road grading. He also said he will
soon or:n a substantial ar;ovnt of property in Bloomington -- the Mctropolitan Sta-
dium site. He reviewed his involvement in the law suit which he filed against the
City in December 1930.
y A I C i I N r,u'e- .6- Scptemtxr 15, 1981
City F.'t-,rroy Pauly clarified points rodo by Cnolry regarding the law suit.
The Iiti;at.ion that !-'r. Cooley spore of (,arlior, th it he cv;..co need in Drcem-
ber, r-res teriainaied as a result of the City's concItAling dwring the course
of the trial that it would be prudent to do so h,�c,:u.e of conci�rns expr(,sed
by mt-;.`.,,:mrs of the Legislature. The City then r»w-d to di,.niiss the complaint
for i ,otness since no issue remainod after termination of the Plan. The Court
issued an order rendering jwlwi ent for bir, Cooley. Ho,.:over, it did not specify
the nature of judg;;r.!nt, The City and HRA mode a ruction fur clarification con-
tending that it is inappropriate to render a judyment when the matter had not
been tried on its elerits, The trial terminated at a point where Mr. Cooley's
first witness, an urployce of the City, who was called for cross-examination,
under the rule';, tans still testifying. The Judge acknowledged in his order
that the trial had not been Concluded, The Court clarified its judgment and
awarded $1 nominal damanes to i•ir. Cooley and his Court costs, Thb City and
HRA have riled an appeal to the Supreme Court because, although we do not con-
cede the point, we anticipate an argument may be made that the judgment has
some bearing on a future plan,
Jim Rylander, 9601 Crestwood Terrace, recently moved to the area and would not
have done so had he realized the extent of development which is planned.
Bob Cole, 7160 Park View Lane, asked what happens if revenues do not cover the
cost of bonds. Frane explained that buildings are already in existence in the
district and taxes will continue to be paid on them; revenues are not based on
just buildings to be built.
Edward Pierre, 9275 Cedar Forest Road, asked if there were "hidden" costs in-
cluded to cover the cost of services such as police and fire protection. Jullie
said there is an existing valuation in all of the parcels which will not be cap-
tured -- that is about $5,861,000. That will generate over $500,000 per year in
taxes which will be spread in the normal way so these properties will be paying
for services. Pierre felt this was a poorly attended public hearing and that
the public address system was not adequate.
Diestler asked if the $ 6 per year (2 mill) levy was based on the number of people
in Eden Prairie now or in the future. Penzel said it was based on the present value
and present mill rate.
Tim Pierce, 16669 Honeysuckle Lanr_, spoke to the issue of fiscal disparities and
the fact that MOSS of our new tax dollars leave the City coffers, Penzel asked if
taxes within the District are subject to fiscal disparities. Fahey said they are.
Redpath noted Conley had attempted to have the tax increment financing law changed
by the 1981 legislature and was not successful; therefore,the Legislature was in-
dicating to cities that this was a viable financing method and of mutual benefit.
City U,;I t',ini;tes -7- September 15, 1921
Rul,:nd Peterson, 9`07 Crerk,,.;",ud Drive, expressed concern about the water problein
residents faced this past sur.c:er and wondered how nf',a duvelupr,•,nt would effect this.
Penzel explained the situation did not last very long and will be eased greatly when
new wells, now under construction, and expansion of tht water plant are completed in
1982.
Duane Cable, Cedar Forest, has lived in Eden Prairie for three years and has not
seen the growth which he had anticipated. He feels residents should take a look at
the small levy amount which will be assessed versus the convenience which will be
provided by additional CON4fiercial and service establish;^ents.
Bob Hanson, 6923 Rosemary Road, a 13 year resident, comet,nded the Council for coming
up with a Plan r;hich will provide the community with a sound distribution system.
Rochelle Diers, 11650 Riverview Road, asked how the area in the Plan was determined,
if it was based on the tax revenues to be ceptured. Frane said that was basically
correct -- as few parcels as could be found to get the job done as soon as possible.
Jan Gerecke, 6622 Golden Ridge Drive, asked if there was any way that this could be
put to a referendum. Royer said a referendum is not required. Pauly said as a prac-
tical matter, due to timing requirements, a referendum is not feasible.
Vicki Koenig, 7239 Topview Road, asked if these roads will be sufficient to handle
the additional traffic. Jullie said they should be adequate.
Vim Weinzapfel, 6975 Tartan Curve. questioned whether this is an economic development
plan or a safety development plan. Reyer responded the intent of Chapter 472A is to
foster economic development in certain areas. One of the elements of economic devel-
opment and successful cominercial development is safe ingress and egress from cownier-
cial areas; there is a direct connection between safe streets, access and egress,and
commercial development. Penzel explained the benefits will accrue to the whole dis-
trict and will promote economic development. Weinzapfel wondered if this is really
feasible with today's economic situation. He feels the Plan is needed.
Lorraine Conrad, 9D-81 Sunrise Circle, asked why it is necessary to have all of
Eden Prairie developed. She lives here because it is a rural community.
Frank Pfau, 94DO Garrison Way, believes "drawing card" stores are needed at the Eden
Prairie Shopping Center.
Clarence Schafer, 6618 Golden Ridge Drive, wondered whether or not the Shopping Center
developers thought of the road system before they built. Penzel explained promises
or conrnitments had been made by the State and Federal government, but these have been
defaulted on so it now becomes our responsibility.

up to that tine for review by the Council.
Pierre a,,ked where the merting would be held. Penzel said it will be held in the
Council Char,;bers.
Hakon Torjesen, 6605 Rowland Road, expressed a desire to have the Public Hcaring
kept open and urged thr Council n r.hers to vote against the u,otion.
Sidney Pauly noted the public can still attend Tueday's meetrng,
Ed Rajek, 6258 Harborough Court, urged the Council to vote no on the motion because
all the residents have not been hrard. fie said the only formal hearing notice he
had received was for the Special Assessment Hearing to be held on September 22, 1981.
Penzel explained the procedure for notifying residents for city-wide benefit projects
via the Eden Prairie News.
VOTE ON MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
B. OVFRL00K PLACE by Hustad Development Corporation. Request to preliminary plat 30
duplex lots and 9 single fa;nily lots. Located north of Pioneer Trail and East of
Yorkshire Point. (Rcrsolution No, 81-175) Continued from 9/1/81
Wally Hustad and Dick Putnam were present. Putnam spoke to the changes made in
the plan, since the September 1, 1981, meeting. A change in the location of the tot-
lot has been made; the nine lots on Creek Knoll will be developed as single family
lots.
Bentley asked if the samo numher of units as previously proposed are included in
this request. Putnam said yes. Bentley asked if the lot sizes are according to
Ordinance. Enger replied they are.
Hustad said the reason the lots on Creek Knoll Road are now developable
is because the road will hecome a cul-de-sac;whereas it is now quite heavily
travelled because of the access it provides to TH 169.
Tangen asked if the totlot is now adequate to serve the neighborhood and if there
is sufficient access, Director of Cor,munity Services Lambert said he felt the lo-
cation was better now. Also a 6' asphalt walkway will be constructed so everyone
should know the way to the totlot. Tangen asked who would maintain the park and
totlot. Lambert said the City would assume that responsibility,

SUBJECT: hiring of Architect to Complete Plans for J.R. Cummins Homestead
As work on the J.R. Cummins Ilomestead has com ensed, and plans for raising
funds have progrcr,sed, the need for continued input from an architect has
become apparent.
The committee was interested in having the windows and doors refurbished and
the brick work tuck pointed. It has been suggested that the wiring be taken
care of as soon as possible, because it posses at potential fire hazard. A
request was made by the fund raising committee to have plans and specifications
for each room completed so that companies could be asked to sponsor the resto-
ration of a room.
The last quote we received from the architect we have been working with was
for $3,000 to complete plans and specifications for the windows, doors and
tuck pointing. Obtaining a cost estimate for architectural services on each
portion of the project is time consuming and ea-pensive. It would be much more
cost effective to hire an architect to complete plans and specifications for
the entire project at this point.
711erefore, the Community Services Staff and the historical and Cultural Commission
recommends that an architect be hired to:
1. Conduct the historical and architectural research necessary to
prepare plans and specifications.
2. Prepare plans and specifications for the restoration and/or
rehabilitation of the house as set forth in the feasibility
study.
3. Provide technical assistance and observation of the restoration
as needed.
Although some of the plans and specifications will be prepared in the near future,
actual work may not occur until the funds to complete that work are secured.
however 1.11oreiny; what mast be done, and what the work might cost may help us

Re: CSAH 4 at TH 169
Adjacent to Lyon's Tap
Dear Jack:
The County Sheriff's Office and our department are very concerned about
the parking hazard at the CSAH 4 - TH 169 intersection created by patrons
of the Lyon's Tap. presently head in parking is occurring on both sides
of CSAH 4 immediately north of TH 169. These parking arrangements were
developed by the owner of the Lyon's Tap presumably without gaining county
or city approval. As you are aware backing onto a major roadway is
hazardous particularly when this maneuver is being made in close proximity
of an intersection.
It is our proposal to eliminate all parking on both sides of CSAH 4 except
that parallel parking may be permitted on the west side between a point
about 50 feet north of TH 169 to a point about 175 feet north of TH 169.
In order to allow your department to enforce such a restriction, we request
that the Eden prairie City Council pass a resolution to this effect. The
county will furnish, install and maintain the parking restriction signs at
county cost if the City Council approves the restriction.
I have contacted Mr. Bert Nottermann, owner of the Lyon's Tap, and discussed
with hiia the parking problem and our proposed parking restrictions. Mr.
Notternann is opposed to the restrictions on the basis that it will adversely
affect his business. Vie also cites the absence of accidents as an argument
against harking regulations. I tried to impress upon Mr. Nottermann that
the accident potential under current conditions is high and as responsible
public officials we cannot ignore this hazardous situation.
Mr. Nottermann is currently in the process of developing plans for the
possible relocation of CSAH 4. The plan would realicn CSAH 4 to intersect
with TIl 169 some distance east of the present intersection. This would
HENNEPIN COUNTY
an equal oppoduniry employer
allow development of a parking lot between new CSAH 4 and the Lyon's Tap
building. A cursory review of the plan by our department indicates that
it may be acceptable although the county would not be able to participate
financial ly. Mr. Nottermann's plan, if and when it materializes, would
resolve the parking problem.
Your favorable consideration of the proposed parking restriction is requested.
Sincerely, p r

SUBJECT: Deposit with Public Improvement Petitions
DATE: November 9, 1982
We have had situations where property owners petition for public
improvements and the City has responded by funding the engineering
cost to provide a feasibility report and preparation of plans and
specifications. When the cost of the project was learned, some
petitioners have withdrawn their request and the City was left with
no way to recover its cost unless the project would proceed at
some future time.
We suggest the Council consider adopting the following policy:
A Property owner submitting a petition for public h
improvement �'n excess of $20,000 as their assessable
share, shal deposit with the City an amounL equal
to 5% of the construction cost of the project as
determined by the City's Director of Public Works
before the City proceeds with the preparation of a
feasibility report or plans and specifications for
construction. The deposit will be credited to the
petitioner's assessment if the project is ordered and
installed. If the project is not ordered and installed,
then the depositor is entitled to a refund of any
monies not expended by the City in conjunction with
the preparation of the feasibility report or preparation
of plans and specifications.
If approved by the Council, this policy would become effective for
petitions received on or after January 1, 1983.
