City Council Minutes -3- April 19 1983
City Hanager Jullie noted this Public Hearing had been continued from the
'larch 1st-and March 15th Council meetings, The specific cause for continu-
ation was to clarify the proposed occupancy and improvements for the interim
use site on Eden Road. He stated this had been accomplished and the required
draft Ordinance and Resolution documents as prepared by the City Attorney's
Office were now ready for Council consideration and approval.
Bentley said the concerns he had about the interim use had been answered.
Anderson asked about the trail. Planning Director Enger said there were
provisions for a sidewalk on the lake side. Anderson inquired if it was
a public or a private trail. Enaer said it was a private trail. Anderson
said he had been told it would be a public trail; the motion made by Mr.
Kingrey, as reflected in the minutes of the Park, Recreation & Natural j
Resources Commission meeting, indicated that. Redpath questioned the
liability. City Attorney Pauly said the private owner would have the r
liability in the case of a private trail. Penzel inquired if the public
would use a private trail, who then would be liable. Pauly said the City
could then get an indemnification agreement from the property owner --
there might be reason for an easement also. Bentley said the question of
public access to Lake Idelwild has never been addressed; the lake has been
used as a fishing hole by a number of residents. Anderson said this Lake
is an amenity of the Major Center Area and the trails should be included
in the plan. Penzel said he could foresee a problem of trespass on the y
west side of the Lake. Tangen said trying to turn this into a public lake
would create transportation problems because there is no available public
parking. Redpath said he felt the only value of a trail would be for em-
ployees who wished to walk over to Hardees and Kentucky Fried Chicken,
r
Jullie noted the Developer's Agreement could be amended so that in the future
a trail could be accommodated if the City so desired. Pauly said that would
be appropriate if it were agreeable to the landowner.
There were no continents from the audience.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing
and to adopt Resolution No. 83-43, approving amendments to the Lake Idlewild
Planned Unit Development Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to give 2nd Reading to Ordinance
No. 4-83, rezoning. Motion carried unanimously,
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No. 83-44,

ters Office Site. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No. 83 86.
approving the summary of Ordinance 4-83 and ordering the publication of
said SUNMary and adoption of the Developer's Agreement. Motion carried
unanimously.
City Council Minutes -4- April 19, 1983
S. OAK PARK BUSINESS CENTER by GSB Investment, Inc. Request for Rezoning
from RuraJ_to2 an I- d Preliminary Plat of 3.3 acres into one lot and
road right-of-way for Office Warehouse use, Location! south of Valley
View Road, west of Washington Avenue, (Ordinance No, 8-83 - rezoning,
, Resolution No. 83-69 - preliminary plat)
City Manager Jullie stated official notice of this Public Hearing had been
published and notices mailed to property owners within the project vicinity.
i
Jerry Portnoy, proponent, addressed the proposal.
Planning Director Enger noted this proposal had been considered by the
Planning Commission at its March 15, 1983, meeting at which time it had
recommended approval subject to the recommendations included in the
Staff Report of March 11, 1983. r
Enger also noted this item had been reviewed by the Parks, Recreation &
Natural Resources Commission at its March 21, 1983, meeting at which time
it recommended approval subject to Staff recommendations,
Bentley asked what type of building materials will be used. Portnoy
reviewed the materials to be used -- glass and brick, Bentley also won-
dered about the parking. Enger said this is a "spec" building, the tenants
have not been identified yet. Ender noted the number of spaces do appear
to be adequate. Portnoy said he had been before the Board of Appeals and
had been gr,.nted a variance. Ender said they do not know how much parking
will be required, this is dependent on the tenant mix; he feels, based on
discussions with Portnoy, that the projections will be correct, Bentley
` asked how the parking would be monitored in the event it was inadequate.
Enger said complaints would be investigated.
Redpath said he felt the proponent had done a good job with a difficult piece
of property. He inquired about the easements, Director of Public Works
Dietz said there had been some swapping of property. Don Sorensen, attorney
for the Bearmans, said deeds had been granted.
Anderson asked what sort of guarantee can be made that the trees won't be
bulldozed. Portnoy said he had a special plan to protect the vegetation on
the site and it is an integral part of the proposal. He said he 1) planned to
clear the site, 2) bring in the transplanters to move trees on the site,
and 3) then excavate the site for finished grading. He said there will be no
bulldozers on the site until this is staged. -
There were no comments from the audience,
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing
and the give 1st Reading to Ordinance No 8-83, rezoning,
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Tangen, to adopt Resolution No. 83-69,
approving the preliminary plat of GSB Investments. Motion carried unanimously,
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Tangen, to direct Staff to prepare the
Developer's Agreement taking into consideration recommendations of Staff and
Commissions and including the tree protection plan as outlined by Portnoy.
Motion carried unanimously.
City Council Minutes -5- April 19. 1983
C, MURI_EL HUMMIREY RESIDENCE by Louise Whitheck Fraser Schools, Inc, Request
for Giiidc.-Vlan AmendineiitVfrom Low Density Residential to Medium Density Resi-
dential, rezoning from Rural to RM 6.5, and preliminary plat for 2.7 acres
to he used as a group home for mentally retarded. Location: west of County
Road 01 and Pioneer Trail intersection. (Resolution No. 83-74 - Guide Plan
Amendment, Ordinance No. 11-83 - rezoning, and Resolution No 83-75 -
preliminary plat)
City Manager Jullie stated official notice of the Public Hearing had been
published and owners of property within the project vicinity had been
notified.
Dr. Robert Kowalczyk, Executive Director of the Louise 4lhitbeck Fraser
Schools, sponsors of the project$ addressed the proposal. Fie also intro-
duced members of the Board of Directors of tine Fraser Schools. Kowalczyk
explained this facility will serve the severely retarded and will be licensed
as a Class 13 facility which means the clients will need more care,
Ron Krank, architect for the project, explained the facility and the site
plan. j
Penzel stated having the Muriel Humphrey Residences has proven to be an
asset to the community, The fears which had been expressed by some of
the residents have never been realized. Not only the residences but the
residents have had a desirahle impact on the community.
Director of Planning Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed this
' proposal at its February 28, 1983, meeting and had voted to recommend its
approval Subject to the recommendations included in the February 25, 1983,
Staff Report. Enger noted this had been reviewed by the Parks, Recreation
R Natural Resources Commission at its March 7, 1983, meeting; the Human
Rights and Services Commission had recommended approval at its March 14,
1983,. meeting; the Board of Appeals at its April 14, 19B3, meeting
voted to grant a variance from the family care home definition as contained
in the City Code; and the Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Connnission found the
proposal to be in conformance with Zone C regulations at its March 2 meeting.
Tangen asked what the ages of the residents would be. Kowalczyk said the
residents would be 18 and over.
Penzel asked how the airport noise would affect the residents. Kowalczyk
said no problem is anticipated as far as the residents are concerned; it
might be more of an annoyance to staff, fie noted there are other single
family residences in the area. The building will be well insulated for noise.
Tangen wondered if this is truly a group home or should it be defined in
a different runner since it has the characteristics of a nursing home.
f:oralczyk said it is a matter of semantics; this group home will be built
to nursing prone standards�as required. Tangen said he does not quarrel
with the definitinn as used by the Humphrey residences but with that in-
cluded in the City Code. Tangen though perhaps Staff should be looking
at the definition in the City Code. Penzel noted that the definition was
1
/Jtil
City Council Minutes -6- April 19, 1983
adopted so only one group home could be built in a particular sector of the
City and so each proposal could be dealt with individually. Tangen said
( he felt this particular facility is more restrictive. lie inquired if this
proposal is accepted, would it preclude another group home from being built
in this sector of the City. City Attorney Pauly said the State Statute refers
to the licensing so the City Ordinance would apply to the number within a
given area.
Bentley asked what types of services would be required from the City by
the residents. Kowalczyk said the property had been a gift. Discussions
had been held as to whether or not this would be a good site for a residence
of this type. Because of its proximity to a small grocery and two proposed
churches, this was determined to be an ideal site for this level of retarded
because the level of skills is much more restricted.
There were no continents from the audience.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Tangen, to close the Public Hearing
and to adopt Resolution No. 83-74, amending the comprehensive municipal
plan. Motion carried unanimously,
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to give 1st Reading to Ordi-
nance No. 11-83, rezoning from Rural to RM 6.5. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Tangen, to adopt Resolution No. 83-75,
approving the preliminary plat of Muriel Humphrey Residence for Adult Men-
tally Retarded for Louise Whitbeck Fraser Schools, Inc. and to direct Staff
to prepare a Developer's Agreement taking into considerations the recommen-
dations included in the Staff Report and those of the various Commissions i
and Boards. Motion carried unanimously.

25 acres for a church of approximately 19,200 square feet, and 13 acres for
park land. Location: north of County Road #1, west of porposed Homeward Hills

Linda Michie, BE Architects, addressed the proposal on behalf of the proponent.
Director of Planning Enger noted the Planning Commission had reviewed this
proposal at its March 15, 1983, meeting at which time it had recommended
approval subject to the recommendations included in the Staff Report of
March 11, 1983. The Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission met to review
this item and found it to be in conformance with Zone C regulations. It
did not act on the 120' wind generator.
City Council Minutes -7- April 19, 1983
Director of Community Services Lambert said the Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission had reviewed this proposal at its March 21, 1983, meeting
at which time it voted to recommend approval subject to the recommendations
included in the Staff Reports. It recommended accepting 11.2 acres for
park dedication and approval of an 8' bike path.
Bentley asked about the timing for the construction of the sedimentation
ponds. Michie said the City will construct those this summer. Director of
Public Works Dietz said the majority of the run-off from the parking lot will
go into Purgatory Creek; the necessary skimmer process will be installed as
per the Watershed District's regulations which will be reviewed by the City.
Dietz noted that plans and specifications for Homeward Hills Road are being
prepared; this road will be built to about 975' north of County Road 1.
i
Anderson asked about the screening of the parking lot. Lambert said the
Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission was satisfied with what
was proposed.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Tangen, to close the Public Hearing
and to adopt Resolution No. 83-70, approving the development of planned
unit development. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Tanaen, to give 1st Reading to Ordinance
No. 9-83, re oning. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Tangen, to adopt Resolution No. 83-71,
approving the preliminary plat of'Pax Christi Catholic Consnunity and to
direct Staff to prepare a Developer's Agreement taking into consideration
the recommendations included in the Staff Reports and the recommendations
of the Commissions excluding the provision for a wind generator (this was
considered to be a good idea which needs more thought.) Motion carried
unanimously..
E. WILLOW BEND by Registered Properties Corporation. Request for rezoning
from RM 6.5 to R1-9.5 and preliminary plat of 37 acres for single family
residential development. Location: southeast corner of Baker Road and
Valley View Road. (Ordinance No. 10-83 - rezoning and Resolution No. 83-72,
preliminary plat)
City Manager Jullie said official notice of this Public Hearing had been
published and notices had been mailed to property owners within the project
vicinity.
Dick Krier, Westwood Planning and Engineering, spoke to the proposal on behalf
of the proponent.
City Council Minutes -8- April 19, 1983
Director of Planning Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed
this proposal at its March 15, 1983, meeting at which time it voted to
recommend approval subject to the recommendations included in the March
11, 1983, Staff Report. Enger noted there are a number of requests before
the City at this time for small lot zoning; there are probably 1,000 lots
under consideration. K.rier noted the lots would be sold to different builders.
Director of Connnunity Services Lambert noted the Parks, Recreation & Natural 1
Resources Commission had reviewed this at its March 21, 1983, meeting and
had recommended approval subject to the recommendations included in the
Staff Reports. The major issue of concern by the Commission was the trans-
portation trail,
Penzel said he felt the southern connection on Dogwood should be posted
noting there will be a future connection to the south; the same to the west.
Anderson asked about access to the future park to the south from this area.
Lambert said there will be a sidewalk along Dogwood. Penzel asked about
infringement onto the park property by adjacent property owners. Lambert
said this can be alleviated by putting 4 x 4 posts indicating the park
boundary.
Bentley said this is an example of what 9.5 zoning can do. Ile asked what
the relative tax return is on moderate vs. higher cost housing. Jullie said
no recent studies have been done; it boils down to the amount of services
required by each housing unit. Penzel said most of the residents would have
to leave Eden Prairie if we were attempting to purchase homes now. lie noted
that five years ago when the average price of a home was $60,000 the cost of
services provided by the City had a break--even point on a house valued at
$90,000.
There were no continents from the audience.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing
and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 10-83, rezoning, Motion carried

MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No. 83-72,

Corporation; and to direct Staff to prepare the Developer's Agreement
taking into consideration the recommendations included in the Staff Report,
and to include provisions for a path along Dogwood, and to post signs indi-
cating future road extensions to the south and west. Motion carried unani-
mously.

Bentley inquired as to why the slope requirements for this proposal should
be different from those imposed on the Northwestern National Bank site.
Enger noted the proposed 2:1 slope would be consistent with the character
of the area; however, the method of erosion control would be critical to
its protection. He said the use of a fiber blanket or netting placed
over a straw mulch would be necessary; this would be similar to what had
been done at Super Valu, Northwestern National Bank, and the NSP sites.
Tangen asked for clarification regarding transfer of the outlots. Lambert
said the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission had discussed that
issue and had discussed City ownership of the morraine. Tanger, expressed
{ concern about the erosion which might occur; was this an asset to the City
which should be maintained. Enger noted this outlot would be adjacent: to
the floodplain and the land in the Forest Hills School/Park area.
Anderson said lie felt the City has an obligation to the St. John's Woods
homeowners. Severe erosion has been created by action the City has allowed
by permitting cutting into the hill. Penzel said he though there could be
protective easements as a part of the Developer's Agreement. He said he
would have a hard time going from a 3:1 to a 2:1 slope just for the convenience
of the developer. Putnam said the reason for the 2:1 slope was so on site
fill could be made available. Putnam said he was not in favor of using the
blanket or netting, but would rather spend the money on additional plant
materials to cover the slope. He said the blanket would cost five times
the amount seed would cost.
Anderson said the fact that someone took more gravel than necessary out
of the gravel pit has now created a problem which is then dumped upon the
City to be solved.
There were no comments from the audience.
City Council Minutes -10- April 19, 1983

Director of Public Works Dietz read a letter from Jerome Jansen, the
only resident of Phaeton Drive, who said he found the name to be acceptable,
Jansen was present at the Public Hearing.

Bill Hennemuth, RCM, representing the proponent, presented the proposal
to the Council.
Director of Planning Enger noted that site plan review was a condition
of the original Developer's Agreement. He stated the Planning Commission
had reviewed this item at its March 28, 1983, meeting at which time it
voted to recommend approval subject to the recommendations included in i
the Staff Report of March 25, 1983, plus roof top screening of equipment.
Anderson asked the color to be used on the metal near- the roof top.
Hennemuth said the color had not been determined. Penzel said a dark
earth tone should be requested.
Bentley asked if this had been before the Watershed District yet. Henne-
muth said it would be presented on April 20th.
There were no comments from the audience.

as well as the differences in engineering.
Concerns were expressed about maintenance of the culverts and lighting
in the "Beebol" bridge. Safety of pedestrian traffic was also discussed.
MOTION: Redpath proved, seconded by Anderson, to recommend the twin
bridge alternative as the best for the Nine Mile Creek crossing on
the proposed Crosstown extension.
C
Bentley said he would vote "no" on the motion because of the cost factor.
Anderson said this is one of the best amenities in the community and
should be preserved. He felt the natural aesthetics of the valley which
is to be crossed should not be diminished; to maintain that amenity has
been a long term objective of the City.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried with Bentley voting "no."

RE: Thumas Ivers Property Split
Enclosed for your review is a copy of a proposed division of a parcel of
property o�•:ned by Thomas Ivers. The parcel is located between TH 5 and
Mitchell Lake. As it exists today, the parcel contains between 4 and 5
acres of land. Presently, there is a house and a "carriage home" on the
entire piece.
The request is for an administrative split of the southwesterly 40,000 sq. ft.
of the property into a separate lot. The dotted line showing other lots on
the parcel are there for conceptual purposes only. The proponent has shown
by these future lots and future right-of-way how the entire property could be
developed if the entire parcel were to be divided. Although this is a very
straight forward division of property, normally one might expect a right-of-
way dedication ana therefore a formal plat in this kind of situation.
Therefure, this division may not truly meet all the tests for an administrative
land division, for that reason, the information is being transmitted to
City Council for approval or denial.
The City Staff has reviewed the request and has determined that the division
merits approval. Therefore, it is recommended that City Council approve
this division by simple motion and authorize Staff to process an administrative
division of the ,property - - conditional upon no further divisions until utilities
are installed.

FROM: David L. Olson, Engineering Technician
DATE: April 76, 1983
SUBJECT: AUGUSTA. ADDITION (formerly called Peterson Development)
• PROPOSAL:
The owner, Eugene K. Peterson, has requested City Council approval
of the final plat of Augusta Addition, which is located in the
Northeast quadrant of T.H. 169/212 and Co. Rd. #1, south of Pioneer
Trail, in the North z of Section 27. The connection of Pioneer
Trail to the realigned portion of Co. Rd. #1 has caused the division
of the original parcel into two parcels (Lot 1, Block 1 contains
0.69 acres; Lot 1, Block 2 contains 0.65 acres). Division approval
has been requested because existing documents show and describe
the property as one lot. An administrative division is not
permitted due to the dedication of public right-of-way (new Pioneer
/ Trail).
` HISTORY:
Toning of the property to Highway Commercial (C-Highway) was approved
through Ordinance ;135.
The preliminary plat was approved by the City Council on March 1,
1983, per Resolution +,83-42.
A Developer's Agreement will not be prepared for this division.
VARIANCES:
All variance requests must be processed through the Board of Appeals.
UTILITIES AND STREETS:
Municipal utilities are not avilable to this property. j
Roadways to serve the property are existing and additional. improvements 1
have not been proposed.
PARK DEDICATION:
Payment of the cash park fee will be required prior to building permit
issuance.
BONDING:
Municipal utilities will not be installed within this plat, therefore,
bonding will not be required.
RECOIIMLND.ATION:
Recowwend approval of the final plat of Augusta Addition subject to
the 1Tquirem011ts of this report and the following:
1. Receipt of fee for City Engineering Services in the amount of $100.00.

SUIIJI.C'r: Settlement of the Kopesky Conclemiation Appeal
In 1974, the City began negotiations for the acquisition of property in Anderson
bakes itegi.onal park owned by Leslie and Sylvia Koposl:y. Ihe Kopesky's were not
interested in selling their property at that time and in August of 1976 the City
authorized condemnation of their property for park aequi.sit.ion, in 1977,. the
court alrarded the Kopkesky's a total of $1.52,000 for their house and 9.8 acres,
plus $300 for appraisal fees. Ihc Kopesky's appealed this alaard. The City then
paid 75% of the award amount ($114,000) plus the $300 appraisal fee, and at that
time had the right to take possession of the property. -
Tile City owed the Kopesky's the remaining $38,000, plus interest si.nce August of
1977 based on the original condemnation nward. If that interest had been invested
in tax exempt municipal bonds with an interest ranging from 5.0s to 7.7. over
those five years, the j:gpesky's would have realized approximately 4.30,250 in
interest over that time period.
( Ihe District Court administrator set the case for trial on April 27, 1983.
Tile Kopesky's had a revised appraisal based on the 1977 price listing the value
of their property and house at $190,000.
111c City negotiated with the Kopesky's prior to the trial and were able to settle
out of court with the following terms:
1. 7lle City will pay the Kopesky's the $38,000 sum owed from the original
condemnation award within 30 (lays.
2. 'Ihc rent due the City for use of the property for the last five years
will cancel the interest due the Kopesky's on the $38,000.
3. 7hc Kopcsk)''s will be able to live in the house, rent free, until .71mc
1, 1986. 11ie Kopesky's will be responsible for all maintenance and
ntllities.
4, 111e Kopesky's may remove tilt: house for their olrn use on or before August:
1, 1986.
5. 'Ihc Kopesky's will lot have to restore the property after removing
the hollse from the premises.
G. 'I'hc Kopc:;ky's may not sell the house to anyone else if they choose
not to remove tale house for their own use.
7. 'Ihe klpvsky's may not sublease the hou:;c if they decide not to at;ly in
the house until ,hulk 1, 1980.
-2-
8. Neitiler the City nor llenncpin County Park Reserve District will
thave any obligations toward the Kopesky's if they choose not to
stay :in the horse or if they choose not to remove the house for
a� their own use, '111e house will revort back to the ownership of
the llenncpin County Park Reserve District.
9. 'Ihc lease agreement for the use of the house during this period
will be with the llenncpin Comity Park Reserve District.
City staff feels that this is a fair settlement for the City as well as for the
KopcskyIs. The right to stay in the house for the neat three years was very
important to them and the right to move thoir home to a new site was also very
important.
Staff contacted representatives from the Hennepin County Paul: Reserve District
during the negotiations to gain their approval of these tenns.
The $38,000 that will be paid to the Kopesky's by the City will be reimbursed _
by the Metropolitan Council.
City staff requests the City Council to approve this settlement.

RE: City Insurance
Last May when the City received insurance proposals we engaged
Corporate Risk Managers to review our coverages. Their report
is currently under review by the Staff. Some of their re-
commendations will be implemented immediately; others need
a more in depth consideration by the Staff.
The proposals we received last May were a toss-up as to cost
and the City decided to again retain the M.E. Lane Agency
which has had the City's insurance for many years. They have
/ providad the City with excellent service.
I recommend that the City Staff be instructed to negotiate
the renewal of the insurance with the M.E. Lane Agency for the
next year and that Staff report and recommend to the Council
possible alternatives in the City's insurance program.

SUBJECT: Tree Nursery Commitment by Eden Prairie Jaycees
Over the past three years the City has received. over $6,000 worth of plant material
from the Edon Prairie Jaycees. This arrangement has greatly benefited the tree
nursery operation at Round Lake Park. The City has operated a tree nursery at Round
Lake since 1973 and presently operates three nurseries. The trees in these nurseries
are being grown to provide large trees (over 3inches in diameter) for present and -
future parks.
The Jaycees have purchased and planted 486 trees, consisting of 19 different species,
in the last three years. This effort has resulted from an action that was initiated
by the Jaycees and coupled with the staff's desire to expand the scope of the nur-
sery at Round Lake Park.
The staff recommends that since April 29, 1983 is Arbor Day and the month of May is
Arbor month, in the State of Minnesota, that it is appropriate the City Council
approve the attached resolution No. 83-93 recognizing the commitment by the Jaycees
to provide trees for City parks and thank them for this significant contribution.

D. BLUFFS EAST, the Bluffs Company. Request for Planned Unit
Development Concept Review for mixed residential uses on 44 j
acres; Planned Unit Development District Review for 6 acres
for 40 townhouse units; Rezoning of approximately 14 acres
from RM-6.5 to R1-9.5 and 24 acres from Rural to R1-9.5; and
Preliminary Plat of 44 acres for 90 single family detached
units, 40 townhouse units, and outlots. Location: West of
Franlo Road, South of County Road #1. A public hearing.
Staff presented petitioner's request for the Bluffs East proposal.
Mr. Wally Hustad explained the history of the request from previous
years and showed how this proposal fit into the overall Bluffs PUD.
Ms. Susan Hustad explained the housing units to be built on the site
and presented a plan which met the Staff's recommendation for not
allowing the same type of unit to be located directly or adjacent or
diagonally across from each other in order to provide a varied look
to the subdivision. She stated that no more than three units of the
same type, such as garage front, would be located in a row, also per
Staff recommendation.
Mr. Richard Tedlik reviewed the multiple area of the site and
presented graphics of the types of units which would be built in
this vicinity. lie stated that the price range would be $65-75,000
for each unit.
Planner Enger reviewed the recommendations of the Staff Report of
April 8, 1983 with the Commission. He stated that Outlots D and E
should not be rezoned at this time in that the plans for these
outlots had not be shown.
The storm water drainage was reviewed by Staff. There were
considerations involving storage of some of the water from this site }
on an adjacent property owner's land, which would need to be
resolved prior to further action by the City. Also, calculations
were needed regarding the capacity of the "sink hole" on property to
the south of this proposal, but also owned'by the proponent, in I
order to finalize design of the storm water system for this project.
Franlo Road mould be improved and realigned with its intersection
with County Road ;1l with this development.
Mr. Hustad stated that the price ranges for the homes to be located
on the 11,1-9.5 lots were $70-90,000.
Chairman Bearman reviewed a letter from Mr. Robert McDonald,
adjacent property owner to the east, in which he stated concern for
future acc(ss to his property based on this development. Planner
Enger stated that it was more likely that the ticDouald property
i
I
Planning Commission Minutes 13 April 11, 1983
would obtain access from the west from Blossom Road. The letter
would be made part of the official record of the proposal.
Planner Enger stated that there was a lack of transition between the
proposed multiple development and the properties to the south and
east of the multiple. Due to this major consideration involving
land use, Staff was recommending,that the multiple portion of the
proposal be returned to the proponent for revision.
Torjesen stated that he had noted that the grading plan showed the
entire site graded, including the outlots. He questioned whether it
was appropriate to have this area graded at this time, if the City
would not be acting on it now. Planner Enger stated that, as a
practical matter, it would be better to grade the entire street,
instead of half of a street; therefore, the grading plan for the
entire area was shown by the proponent.
Mr. Zedlik stated that he was against the recommendation of the
Staff for 200 ft. radii for the curves to be located in the street
through the multiple area. Planner Enger stated that it was a
matter of safety based on the speed of traffic to be allowed through
this area.
Torjesen questioned the source of the 200 ft. radius requirement.
Staff responded that it was a requirement of the City Engineer
design standards for the City.

RE: Notice of Public Hearing for 4/11/83
Gentlemen:
After reading notice of public hearing dated 3/31/83 as received
4/6/83 I am more confused than ever. I vividly recall this same property .
being planned and rezoned in past proceedings, the last of which was
as recent as 18 months ago. The notice certainly doesn't go into
enough detail to appraise me of the present situation.
My primary concern is still, how the proceeding on any adjacent
parcel will reflect on our Yacre parcel that is contiguous on 2 sides
with the PROPOSED SITE. Our plan is still to develop our parcel for
Multi-Dwellings sometime in the future, facet cl- w,4 VikTrAere

Living in Tucson d having such short notice I will be unable to

to protect and prevent our parcel from becoming isolated in regards to
utilities including storm sewer and public access, as per my past
discussions with engineering staff etc. Please note our only existing
public access is from existing frontage on Pioneer Trail. I would also
appreciate getting copies of said meeting minutes and subsequent Planning

STAFf REPORT
TO: a, Planning Commission j
FROM: Chris Enger, Director of Planning
PROJECT: Bluffs East Multiple t
DATE: April 22, 1983
REQUEST: Planned Unit Development District Review and Zoning Amendment to t
allow 40 Townhouse units on approximately 6 acres of land and
Preliminary Platting with Side Yard Setback variances.
APPLICANT: Baton Corporation
FEE OWNER: Hustad Development Corporation
LOCATION: Southwest corner of Franlo Road and County Road #1
Background
This portion of the overall Bluffs PUD has been continued in order to allow
proponent to revise the site plan to be in conformance with the April 8, 1933
Planning Staff Report. In that report, the Planning Staff recommended that the
public through-road in the project be modified to incorporate 200 ft. minimum curve
radii, rather than the SO ft. radii proposed. Since that time, the proponent has
submitted a sketch plan showing 130 ft. curve radii, which the Planning Staff has
reviewed with the City Engineering Staff. The speed limit on a residential street
in Minnesota is 3D mph. The radius of curvature necessary for a 30 mph street is
300 ft. The Planning Staff had previously recommended a 200 ft. radius, which would
yield a design speed of 25 mph, but would recommend a radius of curvature of 150
ft., which would be a design speed of slightly over 20 mph. This will fulfill the
applicant's desire of slowing traffic through the development and the City's desire
of providing a safe design speed through the project.
The proponent has redesigned the project so that driveways of individual townhouse
units do not orient directly off the public road. Individual free-standing parking '
spaces, uncovered, outside of the driveways, are provided at a one-half space per
unit rate.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning Staff would reconnnend approval of the Planned Unit Development District
Review and Zoning Amendment to. allow the construction of 40 townhouse units
according to the plans dated April 21, 1983 and preliminary platting for the project
with side yard setback variances for comlion party walls, subject to the following:
1. A detailed landscaping plan shall he submitted to the Planning Staff prior
to review by the City Council, which will illustrate heavy buffering of the
western townhouse units from the property lying to the west, and from the
sout.h.�astern four-plex tOw11110U5e unit to the single family lot lying to the
southeast.
Bluffs Fast Multiple 2 April 22, 1983
2. The radius curvature to the centerline of each driving lane shall not be
Mess than 150 ft. on the public road.
1
3. All front yard setbacks to buildings shall be no less than 30 ft. and to '
parking shall be no less than 15 ft., and all parking areas shall be I
screened from differing adjacent land uses and the public road.
4. Access to County Road 1 and any necessary acceleration and deceleration
lanes shall be provided as required by Hennepin County and additional right-
of-way as required by Hennepin County shall be supplied by the proponent.
5. The variance to allow height up to 36 ft. shall be approved as part of the
Planned Unit Development District Review, but only as a height taken from
the garage side to the peak of the roof. This would require that the
majority of the building be two-story in relationship to surrounding grade,
rather than three-story, as proposed on the garage side.
6. Cash Park Fee will be applicable to this project.
7. The project will be subject to review and approval by the Riley-Purgatory
Creek Watershed District.

SUBJECT: Bluff's East Development Proposal
Supplemental Report to the Planning Staff Report of 4/8/83
The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal on April 11, 1983 and recommended
approval of the planned unit Development concept for mixed residential land uses,
and preliminary platting and rezoning of 27 of the 38 acres proposed for single
family lots subject to the Planning Staff Report of April 8, 1983.
The City is in the process of purchasing a 20 acre neighborhood park site presently
referred to as the Franlo Road Area Neighborhood Park, which is located just south-
east of this site. That neighborhood park will ultimately be developed as a school/
park site that will contain a soccer/football field, two softball fields, a hockey
rink, free skating area, tennis courts and a large playground area. Tree to four
acres of the site will be reserved for a possible future elementary school. This
site is presently being pruchased through cash park fees collected from the Prairie
East area. Staff anticipates the final payment will be made in 1985.
As this neighborhood develops, pressure will he brought to develop this neighborhood
park site. Cash park fees from this neighborhood and future development south of
County road 1 and cast of Purgatory Creek will be used to develop this neighborhood
park site. .
The City trails plan depicts an 8' wide bituminous trail along the west side of
Franlo Road from County Road 1 southerly adjacent to this site. Community Services
staff also recommnend a 5' concrete sidewalk adjacent to Sherman Drive and adjacent
to Grant Drive. '11iesc two sidewalks would provide safe pedestrian access out of
this dcvelopmcnt to the 8' bituminous trailway adjacent to Franlo Road leading to
the neighborhood park. Due to the proximity of the park and the proposed pedestrian
trail system, staff does not see the need for a totlot to serve this neighborhood.
Staff would also recommend a sidewalk along the west side of Read Lane as this will
no doubt be the street that generally follows the creek corridor, City staff has
in the past recommended pedestrian wolkways parallel with the creek corridor with
occasional pedestrian access to overlook points.
Page two and three of the Planning Staff Report describe the existing site character
and the proposed grading plan. •I•here is no significant vegetation on this site;
however, the grading plan will greatly change the character.of the site.
Community SC7•ViCCS staff recommends approval of the planned unit development concept
for the Illuff's Bost proposal and of the rezoning from R"I G.S and Rural to 111 9.5 and
11.1 13.5, and to r.equest the developer to redesign the townhouse project to address
the concerns stated by the Planning Staff.

Background/Land Use
---
The current Eden Prairie Comprehensive Guide Plan shows this area as Low Density i
Residential, maximum density of 2.5 units per acre. The northern 19.7 acres of the
site had been previously zoned to Rio-6.5 for 104 townhouse units. The multiple
residential was a part of the Bluffs East Planned Unit Development previously
approved by the City. The remaining 24.3 acres is currently zoned Rural and
designated in the Comprehensive Guide Plan as Low Density Residential with a maximum
density of 2.5 units per acre.
The overall Planned Unit Development Concept request is to allow up to 104 units
previously approved on the northern site, to be added to the 61 units allowed on the
southern 24.3 acres (at 2.5 units per acre), for a total of 165 units on the 44 acre
site. On a gross density basis, this would be 3.75 units per acre.
In concept, the density averaging seems acceptable, if the specific plan can j
accommodate proper transitions to surrounding land use and provide for a variety of
residential i}ousing types within the development.
The current request is to construct 40 townhouss on the northwestern 6 acres of the
i
site to a density of 6.67 units per acre. 6.7 units per acre would be allowed under
Bluffs East Staff Report 2 April 8, 1983
the RM-6.5 zoning di, trict. Further, the request would be to rezone approximately
38 acres of the balance of the parcel from RM-6.5 and Rural to R1-9.5. However,
only 90 lots for Phase I and Phase II would be platted on approximately 27 acres at
this time.` The balance of the 38 acres, or approximately 11 acres, would be platted
in out.lots to be resubdivided at a future time for Phase III construction. Since
Outlots D and Outlot E are the peripheral, transition lots, they should not be
included in the rezoning from Rural at this time.-,
An Environmental Assessment Worksheet was done previously on the entire Bluffs East
Planned Unit Development and received a negative declaration. This development
propcsal is consistent with that original Planned Unit Development, and, therefore,
it will not require a new EAW.
Shoreland Management, Floodplain, Purgatory Creek Study
The proposal lies directly east of the lower reach of Purgatory Creek. The western
section of the subdivision is approximately 600 ft. east of the centerline of
Purgatory Creek. The Shoreland Management Lone would occur approximately 300 ft.
from the centerline of the creek.
The project is not within the Purgatory Creek floodplain, and' is not within the
Conservancy Area or the transition of the Purgatory Creek Study. However, the
western part of the subdivision does occur at the break of the bluff, which drops
off very steeply to Purgatory Creek. It is not reasonable to expect that further
( development would occur to the west of this parcel. The parcel directly to the west
of this subdivision is owned by Sally Brown, and it is contiguous to the parcel she
currently owns and has her home on occuring to the north and west of this
subdivision.
City Requirements
With regard to the multiple site, the City Code would allow a 30 ft. maximum height,
which the proponent would require a variance from in order to construct buildings 36
ft. in height. In addition, because the townhouse units have party wall lot lines,
a variance will be required from the side yard setback. The maximum density f
permitted in the Rit-6.5 zone is 6.7 units per acre, the proposal is for 6.67 units
per acre, which brings it into conformance with the Code.
The R1-9.5 zone requires 9,500 sq. ft. of lot area and a minimum width of 55 ft.
The proposal meets this requirement in all cases. The sideyard setback requirements {
in the 111-9.5 zone are 5 ft. on the garage side for a double car garage, 15 ft. on
the garage side for sinnle car garage, and 10 ft. on the living side of the house.
This differs from the side yard setbacks in the 111-13.5 zone, which would be the
most appropriate zone to occur on the adjacent land surrounding this project. The
R1-13.5 zone vrould require a 70 ft. lot width and side yard setbacks totalling 25 1
ft., rather than 15 ft. The minimum lot size in an 111-13.5 zone is 13,500 sq. ft., ,
with a maximum density of 2.5 units per acre. I
Existing Site_Character_/`itc Plan
The site is described in the development brochure as steeply rolling, open, sandy,
meadow. The site borders the Purgatory Creek valley and will visually influence. it.
Sarr()unding land uses are planned as Low Density Residential, a max unum density of
c�S11
Bluffs East Staff Report 3 April 8, 1983
(
?.5 units per acre.
There is substantial grading on the site. A general way to describe the grading
would be that the knolls on the site are cut between 12 and 16 ft. and used to fill
in the low areas of the site between 12 and 16 ft. Although this would drastically
change the character of the property, the road system seems to be planned in the
most appropriate areas from a topographic standpoint, and little difference in
grading could be expected without going to a completely clustered type of housing
style, which would leave large open space areas to preserve grade as much as
possible.
Because of the sandy, erosive nature of the soil, the small distance between units
for the single family, and the amount of overland drainage contemplated, each lot
should be sodded upon completion of building, at least back to the back of the home,
with all slopes 3:1 or greater being sodded as well. All boulevard areas should
also be sodded upon completion of construction of individual units.
The lots created along the west side of Meade Lane adjacent to the Purgatory Creek
valley should be increased in depth by flattening out the curve of Meade Lane toward
the fast to allow additional depth of the lots in order to provide for at least a
3:1 slope rather than the 2-1/2:1 slope planned. This regraded area adjacent to the
Purgatory Creek valley should also be sodded at the time of construction.
i

Drainage throughout the subdivision is handled arr•und each lot in the development
plan. This plan should be followp.d in order to assure that no individual homes will S
( he adversely impacted by back yard or side yard drainage. The storm cewer system in
the street provides catch basins within distances of at least 600 ft., which is in
accordance with City policy.
There is a land locked sedimentation pond, which occurs directly across County Road
#1 north of this project, and which will require an extension of storm sewer under
County Road ul in order to outlet. (This will be accomplished with this
development.) Since this northern storm water outlet outlets into a new
sedimentation pond to be created, which is partially owned by Robert McDonald, 4
property orgner to the west, the developer should obtain concurrence with Mr.
McDonald for this plan.
As part of the proposed storm water system, the developer is planning a settling
area in the center of Block 5, shown as Outlot A, proposed to be dedicated to the
City. Since this Outlot is proposed to remain dry, except during intermittent
periods of time, the Planning and Engineering Staff believe that a maintenance
problem will exist and recommend connection of the storm sewer pipe through this
area and extention of the lot lines to the center of the outlot to be retained by
private property owners. The balance of this storm water system then would outlet
to a natural sink hole to the south of this project, which is owned by the
developer. This sink hole should be constructed to retain water as a permanent pond
and he owned and maintained privately with future development. Since the bottom of
the sink hole is currently 827.3 and the overflow is at 831.3, the developer should
suhmit calculations to the City Engineering tropartment that illustrate conditions of 1
overflow and direction and treatm:ant of outfall of this pond would be treated in
order to assure no erosion of the crr.ek valley. It is expected that eventually an
outfa11 from the storm sewer system for this residential area will have to be i
extended to Purgatory Crock south.
r
Bluffs East Staff Report 4 April 8, 1983
Transition to Surrounding Land Use
Since the`land to the northwest and south of this project is expected to be Low
Density Residential, it is necessary for the transition between the two land use
densities to occur within this project. The single family platting does not provide
for this in Phase II of the development proposal. Planning Staff suggests that Lot
8, Block 2 and Lots 1 and 12-20, Block 4 be zoned R1-13.5 and sized accordingly with
frontages and lot widths of no less than 70 ft. and side yard setbacks of 25 ft.
total. Outlot E, being in close proximity and very highly visible from the pristene
Purgatory Creek valley, should be zoned R1-13.5 and platted with no less than 90 ft.
frontage width lots. Outlot D should be zoned R1-13.5 and conform to the
requirements of that district.
The multiple site should contain appropriate buffering, which would include berming,
distance, and landscaping transition to the property to the east.
The Staff had originally requested that the developer provide an alternate access to
the Reichow exception occuring along County Road #1. This was to prevent multiple
accesses to County Road ftl in the future. However, Staff had requested a cul-de-sac
to come from Sherman Drive to the north and touch on the southern portion of the
Reichow piece. The Planning Comnission may wish to consider elimination of Outlot C d
altogether, and accept the premise that the Reicho%-i piece would be developed as one
multiple family site and could be limited in the future to one access to County Road
Nl. r
{ T
Development Plan
If the transition lots on the periphery of the development are modified to 13.5 size
lots, this will help provide both transition and variety within the subdivision by �
providing townhouses, small lot single family, and medium lot single family within
the 44-acre area. In addition, since many of the lots along the straight drives are
55 ft. wide minimums, it is necessary to require a development plan which would !
assure variety of unit type. The Staff concurs with the development plan submitted l
to require that no unit be the same as the unit adjacent,. directly or diagonally i.
across the street from itself. A different unit type would mean a unit which was
different in more than just the superficial facade. Difference in unit type would
be determined by the Planning Staff. A further assurance of this variety in
development plan would be to require that no more than three units in a row could be
of the same basic plan, i.e., a garage front, a rambler, a two story, or tuck under
garage.
Trans op rtation S stem
Staff has evaluated the road system for the single family project and its effect on
the surrounding properties and .has found that it will work into an overall
transportaion plan, which will allow each property owner proper development depths
of their property. In reviewing the road that is proposed through the multiple site
with the Engineering Department, we have found that it will be necessary to
cocrpletel,y redesinn that road connection to allow for at least 200 ft. inside curve J
radii which would allow normal residential travel speed.
f
The intersection of Franlo Road With County Road #1 is being realigned, and Franlo
Road will be constructed to the project's southern property line with this project.
The temporary dead-ends that occur at the. west end of Jackson Drive and the north
r
Bluffs Cast Staff Report 5 April 8, 1983
and south end of Meade Lane should be designed with temporary turn-grounds,
consistent with Engineering Department requirements, and be posted with a sign that
clearly indicates those roads as temporary dead-ends. 1.
Although there is an 8 ft. wide bituminous trail proposed for construction by the
developer along Franlo Road, an additional 5 ft. wide concrete sidewalk should be E
placed along one side of Grant Drive and the right-of-way width increased to 60 ft.
to accommodate it. As part of a pedestrian system that will eventually parallel
Purgatory Creek, there should be a 60 ft. right-of-wray for Meade Lane and a 5 ft. ;
wide concrete sidewalk placed on the west side of the road. .
Parks s
There is no totlot or park being provided within the development since there is a
20-acre park owned by the City, although currently undeveloped, on the east side of
Franlo Road directly adjacent to this site. Tile Cash Park Fee would be paid on each
lot and unit at the time of building permit issuance.
Multiple Townhouse Site
The townhouse project will have to be redesigned to accommodatq a new street pattern
consistent with the 200 ft. minimum radius required by the City Engineering
Department. In addition, the units that parallel the public road should be designed
so that there is adequate space in front of the driveways to provide for screening
of parking. Currently the open space shown is completely within the right-of-way
and will not allow for berming or planting. The project should be redesigned to
allow for end loading of a cluster of townhouse units such as is shown on the
northwestern corner of the project, or for at least 15 ft. of green area outside of
the right-of-way provided in front of the driveways for screening.
The southeasterly most unit, which is a four-plex, is proposed directly adjacent to
a small lot single family home with no room for transition between the single-story
single family home and the three-story townhouse unit. The setback between these
units should be increased substantially and buffering should be provided for the
single family area all around the townhouse units. The proponent should also
consider extension of Kearny Lane northerly from the single family subdivision,
aloiig the easterly line of the single family subdivision, between the multiple and }
single family, before turning to the wrest. This may accomplish three goals: 1)
Alternate access to the Reichow piece; 2) A positive road transition between the
single family and multiple parcels; and, 3) Larger usable space left in the multiple
parcel not bisected by a raod.
RECOX211ENDAT IONS
The Staff would recommend approval of the Planned Unit Development Concept for mixed
residential land uses and preliminary platting and rezoning of 27 of the 38 acres
proposed for single family lots subject to the following:
I. The multiple family request on the northwestern 6 acres be returned to the
proponent for redesign in conformance with this report.
2. With regard to the single family area, that Outlets D and E be eliminated
from the rezoning reques4 at this time, but be held for future rezoning to
R1-13.5. The lots in Outlet E would be required to have at least 90 ft. lot
}
Bluffs East Staff Report 6 April 8, 1983
widths.
3. Lot, 1, Block 2 and Lots 1 and 12-20, Block 4 should be redesigned and
platted and zoned as R1-13.5 lots.
4. Outlot E should be increased in depth to allow for no greater than a 3:1
slope in preparation of building pads. The 3:1 slope should be sodded upon
completion of grading.
5. The storm sewer system should eliminate the use of Outlot A as a
sedimentation area by connecting through a pipe. The pond to the south of
this property should be constructed in such a way as to retain water and
information regarding its capacity and overflow condition, as well as outlet
details, should be submitted to the Engineering Department prior to
construction. The private storm water pond created on the northwest corner !
of the property, which also occurs on a portion of Robert McDonald's !
property, must be done with his permission. In addition, since this pond 3
will hold water, a drainage and utility easement should cover the area of
the pond and appropriate access to the pond shall be granted to the City,
acceptable to the City Engineering Department. The final review of the
storm water system would be subject to review and approval by the City
Engineering Department.
6. Meade Lane an-! Grant Drive shall be increased in width to 60 ft. of right-
of-way, and a 5 ft. concrete sidewalk shall be constructed by the developer
along one side of both roads.
7. At the west end of Jackson Drive and the north and south end of Meade Lane,
temporary turn-arounds shall be placed in conformance with Engineering
Department recomnendations. Also, at the end of these roads, temporary
dead-end signs shall be placed at the time of construction.

A. FACTORY OUTLET CENTRE, by AmCon Corporation. Request for
banned Unit Development District Review for a shopping
mall, with possible variances, on 16.2 acres; Zoning from
Rural to C-Regional Service on 16.2 acres; and Preliminary
Platting of 27.6 acres into one lot and three outlots. '
Location: South of Valley View Road, west of I-494. A
continued public hearing.
Staff explained to the Commission that this item was returning for
review per their direction at the March 28, 1983 meeting with
respect to landscaping, screening, parking, etc.
Mr. Patrick Gannon, AmCon Corporation, reviewed the changes with the
Planning Commission, indicating areas where landscape material had
been increased in volume and size, the revised circulation within
the parking lot, and the screening of various views of the site from
adjacent properties.
The fivo-foot wide berm requested along Plaza Drive was shown. Mr. j
Gannon stated that the view from the Highway 5 off-ramp from 1-494
was a difficult: area to handle and that there would be no effective
111311nor to screen the parking from this view. Staff concurred. Mr.
Gannon also pointed out the locations of the landscaped parking '
islands added with this revised submission.
Staff reviewed the revised landscape plan with the Commission. It
,1�7
/ Planning Commission Minutes 3 April 11, 1983
was proposed that there be a slight rise in the berm to screen 3
parking from Valley View Road and Plaza Drive. The sixteen rooftop
mechanical units had been reduced to four units and the screening
material was shown. Staff suggested that the color of the roof be
the same as the screening material for the mechanical units. The
developer would be required to bring samples of these two materials
in for the City to review prior to building permit issuance.
Regarding the landscaping, Staff recommended that there be more of a
mixture of the plant materials proposed along the north side of the
lot; parking lot island trees be a minimum of 3 to 3-1/2 in. t
caliper; larger trees be located along the south and north; the
entrances to the site have larger trees; the bermed islands should
have overstory trees instead of understory trees; the protected lane d
-for directing traffic had been incorporated around the building, and {
required sodding and plantings. 1
Staff suggested that one additional parking isle be closed off to
increase the stacking distance at the southwest entrance. Staff
pointed out that the plans had been revised to shoe additional green
space around the building as requested.
It was rcr,u,�sted that the Honey Locust proposed for landscape stock
be eliminated and replaced with a form of Ash or Maple, rahieh would
provide a more dense screening and would a:ithstand the parking lot
environment much easier than the Honey Locust.
Sidewalks needed to be added at the entrances to the parking lot
leading to the building. Staff then reviewed the utilities for the
project and the proposed extension per the City Engineering
Department recoainendations.
i
The one free-.standing sign located at the northeast corner of the I
site should be an effective 20 ft. above the elevation of new Valley
View Road adjacent to the site. j
Staff recommended that the exterior materials be brick, to match the
other buildings in the area, and that the lighting of the site be
similar in nature to the two adjacent sites of this development.
Planner Engel- explained that projects such as this, involving major
roadways, were referred to the City's traffic consultants, BRW, for
review and recontnendations. In this case, the recouniendation of BRW
was that Plaza Drive be a Tour-lane road, not two-lane, as shown. j
The reasons for this recomuendation included the fact that the
Average Daily Trips on this road would range from 20-26,000. This
compared to the amount of traffic Currently along Highway 5. BRW
had indicated that there would he the same or higher volume of
traffic on Plaza Drive as was proposed for new Valley View Road.
Also, there mere already two entrances to Plaza Drive shown frnm the
Factory 0utict site. In the future, there would be additional
entrances onto Plaza Drive from the southwest side of the street
frmu thr_ remaining lnts h tueen li Ward's and the proposed Factory
Outlet Centre. In ordrr to aCcunr,nodat.o at least one lane of free-
,,.^ > i
Planning Coiicnission Minutes 4 April 11, 1983
flow traffic through the area, it would be necessary to have a four-
lane road to handle the additional left turn lanes which would
' result in this area from the number of entrances proposed onto Plaza ;
Drive.
Eased on this recommendation from the City's traffic consultants,
Staff recommended that a condition '23 be added to the Staff Report
of April 8, 1983 to read: "A 70 ft. right-of-way for Plaza Drive
shall be platted with the site."
DISCUSSION
Planner Enger explained to the Commission that when the original
Menard's project was reviewed by the Planning Commission, there had
been discussion regarding the difficulty of screening the Topview
neighborhood from the site. It had been determined at that time
that the most effective screening would be to place a berm in the
abandoned right-of-way of old Valley View Road when construction of
new Valley Viers Road along its planned alignment was under way. The
berm would be 12 feet high. Menard's, at that time, said that they
would do this.
Planner Enger stated that the County would be transferring the old
right-of-way for the new right-of-way for Valley View Road, and,
there Fore, should have no objections or involvement in the
construction of the berm in this location.
Schuck asked what the cost of such a berm would be. Planner Enger
responded that it would be approximately $25,000, if included in the
construction bid for Valley View Road, per the estimates made by
City Staff. This figure would include the material and sodding.
Torjesen questioned whether it would be beneficial to take the
additional 20 ft. of right-of-way needed for Plaza Drive from the
southwest side of Plaza Drive, instead of from the Factory Outlet
site. Planner Engcr stated that it would leave very small lots for
development, but that it would also be possible for this thin strip
to be added to the adjacent property to the southwest in order to
allow for the planned expansion of Menard's parking lot.
Planner Enger explained that the City had not planned for Plaza
Drive to handle the proposed amount of traffic, that the Ring Route }
had been planned to handle the capacity of traffic which would be 1
generated from this site. However, it had been a conscious decision
on the part of Menard's, when platting the land originally, to
include this road.
Tor,jesen questioned whether, upon completion of the Ring Route, this
site would be as dependent upon traffic from the Menard's area.
Planner Enger stated that. it would not, but that it would always be
dependent upon Plaza Prive as the only entrances planned to this
site, and the free-standing sites to the southwest of Plaza Drive,
would be from Plaza Drive. Access was not planned from new Valley
View Road.
')�0
Planning Commission Minutes 5 April 11, 1983
Torjesen asked whether it would be appropriate for the City to
consider a sidewalk along the west side of Plaza Drive, in addition f
to that planned along the east side, to allow for pedestrian
transportation to the free-standing lots along that side of Plaza
Drive as well. Planner Enger responded that until the uses for the
small strip along the southwest side of Plaza Drive were known, it
would be difficult for the City to determine whether sidewalks
would, indeed, be necessary. x
Chairman Bearman questioned the proponents as to why they had chosen
this particular site as opposed to a site near Eden Prairie Center.
Mr. Jim Burkemper, AmCon Corporation, stated that their marketing
research had shown that a free-standing site, separate from any
other shopping center, seemed to be more appropriate for this type l
of use as it allowed the factory outlet shopping centers to
establish their own identity. Further, the exposure received from
being located adjacent to two major thoroughfares was considered a
great asset for their use. Mr. Burkemper stated that it was
inconclusive as to whether such uses could successfully locate in
existing vacant shopping center facilities, or not.
Torjesen asked Staff to review the requested variances for the
project. Planner Enger stated that there were four: 1) Parking
spaces required for the site per City coda formulas should be 8
spaces/1,000 sq. ft., and the proponents were requesting a lower
ratio. It eras noted that the existing shoppinq centers in the City
varied from b.3 to 6.6 spaces/1,000 sq. ft.; 2) Floor Area Ratio was
requested to be slightly greater than allowed by code at 21% as
opposed to Code requirements of 20%; 3) The type of building
material to be used was requested to be break off concrete block and
rock face block, with a painted stripe around the building on plain
concrete block. Plain concrete block was not allowed by Code; and
4) Proponent was requesting a variance from the signage requirements
to eliminate all individual wall signs for the tenants of the
center, and replacing that with one free-standing sign of 21 by 20,
to be located at the far northeast corner of the site. The
variances were being requested as part of the Planned Unit 1
Development process.
Mr. George Nelson, attorney for Tom Kasperzak, a resident of the
i
Topview neighborhood, stated that his client was concerned about the
screening of this use from his property. He suggested that
screening take place close to the Topview neighborhood in the
vicinity proposed by Staff v.-here old Valley View Road would be 9
abandoned. Mr. Nelson stated that the screening would need to be
extensive to avoid visual impact on his client's property. He asked
that this area be reviewed in greater detail with respect to the
future Valley View Road off-ramp, as well.
Torjesen stated that he felt it vrou1d be important that any
negotiations regardinq thrt berming along old Valley View Road upon
abandonment of the ri+rht.-of-way be accomplished at the same time as
the fee owner, t1onard's, transfers the property.
Planning Com7iission Minutes 6 April 11, 1983 ).
Mr. 8urkemper stated that they, as proponents, felt that they had
y adequately handled the concerns of Staff and the Commission as
` addressed at the previous meeting. He stated that the requirements
of a brick exterior, and additional right-of-way for Plaza Drive,
were not known to them at the time of the last meeting. Ile added
that he felt these were rather significant matters which should have
been addressed prior to this Commission meeting. Planner Enger
stated that the previous Staff Report had been an overview, not a
detailed report as this one was, addressing the details of the site,
such as transportation and utilities. Further, the traffic
consultant had been notified of the project early in the process;
however, their response had not been available prior to the time the
proponents were notified of their recommendations.
Chairman 8earman asked proponents if they wanted additional time to
consider the recommendations of the City Staff and the traffic
consultant. Proponents stated that they would prefer to move ahead
to the Council.

based on revised plans dated March 30, 1983, and subject to the
recoiramendations of the Staff Reports dated March 25, and April 8,
1983, with the addition of condition V23 regarding a requirement for
a 70 fit. right-of-way for proposed Plaza Drive, and condition #24
regarding completion of negotiations between the fee owner of the
property, the proponent, and the City as to the responsibilities,
timing, etc. for the berm to be located in the abandoned right-of-
way of Valley View Road to screen the Topview neighborhood.
Hallett questioned what the additional cost of a brick exterior
would be for this building. Staff responded that it would be
approximately $150,OOD. �.

B. FACTORY OUTLET CENTRE, by AmCon Corporation. Request for
Planned Unit Development District Review for a shopping
mall, with possible variances, on 16.2 acres, Zoning from
Rural to C-Regional Service on 16.2 acres, and Preliminary
Platting of 27.6 acres into one lot and 3 outlots.
Location: South of Valley View Road, West of I-494.
Staff reviewed proponent's request with the Commission and reviewed
the recommendations of the Staff Report of March 25, 1983. Planner
Enger also presented slides of the site, pointing out major roadways
surrounding the site, visibility of the site from the roadways, and
visibility of the site from adjacent land uses.
Staff pointed out that, when measuring the site plan Code
requirements against the size of the site and the proposed usage,
the plan appeared to be "tight." As to the screening provided,
Staff stated that there were several areas inadequate where
screening was planned.
Mr. Patrick Gannon of AmCon, proponent, gave an overview of the site
and the proposed usage.
Planner En9cr pointed out that the land use proposed was consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan. The area had been designated for
commercial uses, specifically for large, free-standing types of
uses, such as i'anards.
Staff pointed out that the traffic system for the area, which was
currently under construction, was designed to handle the capacity -
which r;ould be generated from this use. Planner Enger stated that,
as was evident from the slides, the site was not visible from north-
bound I-494, .quite visible from south-bound I-494, quite visible
from Highway t5, and visible currently from the Topview residential !.
area to the north of the site. The Topview area would be able to !
see more of the site in the future due to the planned construction
and relocation of Valley View Road. Due to these visibility factors
from trio critical locations, screening of the site was an important
consideration.
Planner Enger indicated that more landscaping and green space on the
site would aid in relieving the look of a massive blacktopped area.
Staff was suggesting that at least 50" additional landscaped islands
be added to the site within the parking area. More space for
proposed berming/green strip areas was suggested for the south and
west portions of the site. More and larger berms were needed along
Plaza Drive and along Schooner Boulevard than were shown by
proponent.
Planner Enger stated that traffic circulation within the site could
be iruproved through medians added to guide and direct traffic along
the perimeter road.
Also, another matter of concern to Staff was the screening of
��u
i
i
Planning Commission Minutes 6 March 28, 1983
rooftop mechanical equipment for the building since the roof would
be visible from the Topview area. The structure as proposed was
151,327 sq. ft., covering over 3.5 acres, itself. With 30 tenants j
proposed, it would be possible for a substantial amount of rooftop 11
mechanical equipment to be needed for the structure. Proponent had
not presented a plan for this.
DISCUSSION
Chairman Bearman questioned whether Plaza Drive would be constructed
with this project. The proponent responded that it would. Chairman
Bearman asked about the timetable for construction of Valley View
Road. Planner Enger stated that this road would be under
construction within approximately two years on the north side of
this site.
Planner Enger pointed out that proponent was showing only one sign
for the site to be 21 ft. by 12 ft., with no mall signs proposed for
the individual tenants. Staff was recommending in favor of the
proposed signage plan.
Also, sidewalks were proposed along Plaza Drive and along Prairie
Center Drive for pedestrian access to the area.
Marhula questiioncd how this project fit with the original
development plan submitted by Menards. Staff stated that there had
been an informal development plan submitted with the original
llenards site. Marhula expressed concern regarding the usage of the
"strip" of land which would be remaining on the southwest side of
Plaza Drive if the property was platted as proposed by the
proponent.
Marhula asked the proponent why the building was located toward the
top of the lot- instead of centered. He stated that, because of the
site plan, the north and South entrances had very few parking spaces
close to them for customers. Mr. Gannon explained that the
Metropolitan Sewer Interceptor was located along the easterly edge
of the property. The proponents were not allowed to locate a
building on top, or within so many feet, of the interceptor.
Chairman Bearman asked Mr. Burkemper on what experience they were
basing the amount of parking. Mr. Jim Burkemper, AmCon Corporation,
stated that, while they had no long-range experience with any of
their other centers of this type, thi's was the experience of the
industry as a whole.
Chairman Bearman asked if tenants had committed to spaces in this
location at this time. Mr. Burkemper stated that they had not.
Mr. Burkemper addressed the issue of the number of parking spaces
provided. Ile stated that the existing ratio for parking spaces in
Shopping centers in Eden Prairie at ".his time ranged from 5.5 to 6.5
spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. They had proposed 6.5 s aces per 1,000 sq.
ft. as the top of the range of arliat was actually Ceing done in the
`13
Planning Coimiission Minutes 7 March 28, 1983
City. Staff stated that they did not have any objections to the
parking space formula as proposed, since the City's Code was based
upon free standing retail stores, not malls.
Marhula asked what the budgets for the building and for landscaping
were for the site. Mr. 8urkemper responded that the building would
be approximately 3.5 million dollars, the landscaping budget was
$65,000.
Johannes stated that he felt this site was one of the prime
development sites in the City, and that the Highway #5, I-494
intersection was a gateway to Eden Prairie. lie stated that he had
seen other factory outlet types of buildings which were not
attractive, and added that he did not feel an unattractive building
site was appropriate for this location. Johannes concurred with
Staff that the landscaping/screening plan was insufficient and that
more attention was needed in this regard to make this a successful
project for the City and for the proponent.
Torjesen expressed concern for the "strip" outlot which would be
left over after platting of the factory outlet property.
a
I•larhula stated that he felt it would be important to know what would
happen with the "strip" outiut. He stated that he did not feel it
1 would be appropriate to make a decision as to land use for this area
without knowing the affect of the land use decision on the adjacent
properties.
Mr. Marvin Prochaska, owner of Menards, stated that a plan was
available showing the proposed uses of the site. He stated that the
types of uses would be free standing retail or service uses, perhaps
a fast food restaurant.
Marhula stated that the access to the west would pose a visibility j
problem as it was located on the inside of a curved street. Planner i
Enger suggested that this access could be relocated further south.
Torjesen stated that he concurred with the Staff Report
recoatnendation regarding the site being too small. He suggested
that the building be scaled dorm or the space available for the use
be increased to meet the concerns of Staff.
Mr. 8urkrmper asked for a summary of the changes requested. Planner
Enger stated that there was a need for increased landscaping around
the parking lot, the perimeter of the building, and for screening
purposes; screening of rooftop mechanical in an architecturally
integral manner; traffic circulation be more directive at the {
interior of tile, site; plans be presented for the "strip" area to �
remain.on the west side of Plaza Drive.
Johannes expressed concern for the trciffic flow during the period of
time after the project r;as constructed to the point where Prairie
Center Drive would hz cowM eted. Ile questioned whether Highway 05 l
would be able to handle Lhis traffic. Planner Enger responded that
"lanning Commission Minutes 8 March 28, 1983
it could for the interim period of time.
i
Chairman Bearman asked for comments and questions from members of
the audience.
Mr. Tom Kasperczyk, 7343 Ann Court, stated concerns regarding the
visibility of the project from his home. He also stated concern for
the City's plans for noise and visual buffering of his home from the
proposed Valley View Road ramp to I-494. Planner Enger stated that
there were no plans for buffering the Topview neighborhood from the
ramp area at this time.

Dear Mr. Enger:
I hove completed the traffic analysis you requested for the area in the vicinity
of Plaza Drive and Valley View Drive. The trip generation was estimated by
using generation rates published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers
for a range of development between 350,000 and 450,000 square feet. These trips
were then assigned to the roadway network in accordance with Traffic Analysis
Report M-283, published by Mn/DOT in November, 1981.
the total estimated numbcr of Trips generated by the given range of develeplment
is betricen10,600 and 26,000 vehicles per day. Assigning these trips to the
( roadway network, in accordance with Mn/DOTIs recommended directional distribution
yields a two way average daily traffic of between 12,400 and 15,600 vehicles per
day on Plaza !hive, just south of Valley View Drive. Approximately 9% of these
trips would occur in 1ho P.M. peak hour. This results in peak hour volumes
beiween 1,900 and 2,400 vehicles per hour.
Based on accomodating these volumes with a reasonable level of service, it
appears that the basic cross section should consist of a four lane roadway.
In addition, high volumes of turning traffic are expected at the Plaza Drive
intorsections with both Schooner Boulevard and Valley View Drive. Therefore, a
single lane for each vehicle movement should be provided on the approaches to 1
these intersections.
j
i
The amount of right-of-way needed to accommodate a four lane roadway can vary
from 75 to 100 feet, depending on whether sidewalks and boulevards are provided
and the topography of the adjacent land.
Future traffic control requirements at the intorsection of Plaza Drive and
Valley View Drive were also considered. As the area approaches full
development, the voluw,�,; generated will In all likelyhood snot the warrants
listed in tho Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for the
installation of a traffic siLlnal sysium. therefore, consideration should be
given to providing underground items such as conduit runs during the initial
roadway constructiun. Thls will result in a IeWCr cost for the signal Installa-

DATE: April 15, 1983
SUBJECT: Factory Outlet Center
Supplemental Report to the April 8, 1983 Planning Staff Report
The Factory Outlet Center is a 151,327 sq, ft. mall proposed to be located just
east of Menard's Plaza. This site was graded with the Menard's development and
is a large flat site void of any existing vegetation.
The major concern of the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission when
reviewing this proposal should be the landscaping and screening that should be
provided to ensure that this site conforms to other high quality commercial
development within the City.
T7ne proponent has substantially increased the amount of landscaping and screening
from the O1'1g17na1 pl'eposal submitted to the Planning Commission, and on the April
11, 1983 meeting the Planning commission approved this proposal as per the April
8 Planning Staff Report.
Community Services Staff and Planning Staff also recommend construction of a S'
wide concrete sidewalk on the north side of Plaza Drive that will connect to the
sidewalk adjacent to Prairie Center Drive.
The cash park fee is applicable to this proposal and will generate `;22,680.
The Co7mmnity Services Staff recommend approval of the Factory Outlet Center as
per the April 8 Planning Staff Report.

Factory Outlet Centre ' 2 April 6, 1983
The Planning Commission continued the proposal and advised the proponent to revise
the plan.
The Factory Outlet Centre does not exceed the mandatory criteria for an EAW or EIS.
Existing Site Character
The site was graded with the Pienard's development. It is a large flat site inclined
north to south. Drainage runs to the southwest corner of the site, then into storm
water ditches adjacent to State Highway V5.
The soil conditions are suitable for development.
The previous grading has left the site with no significant vegetation or wildlife
habitat.
Site Plan
The proposed site plan meets or exceeds the City Code requirements for lot width,
depth, size, setbacks, and structure height. The Factory Outlet Centre structure
has a 21% floor area ratio, exceeding the City Code by 1%.
The proponent has reduced the number of parking stalls to 966, resulting in 6.3
parking stalls per 1,000 sq. ft. of building area. Total parking, if additional
'landscaping is implemented according to this report, would be 945 spaces, or 6.24
spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. This is typical of other shopping
areas, such as the Preserve Center Shopping Mall, with G.G stalls per 1,000 sq. ft., 3
and the Prairie Village Mall, with 5.3 stall per 1,000 sq. ft.
Transportation
Access to the site is via two access drives to Plaza Drive, which connect to a
protected aisle looped road adjacent to and circling the building. The proponent
has redesigned the alignment of the north access drive to meet Plaza Drive at a 90
degree angle. The stacking area for the north access drive has been increased per
the ,March 25, 1933 Staff Report.
The nature of this project promotes high volumes of traffic. The proponent
indicates that there would be 1,600 trips generated on an average day and 6,000
trips on peak days. Planninq Staff estimates between 4,400-5,200 Average Daily
Trips. The construction of Valley View Road is currently underway to the north of
the site. A southbound exit ramp to Valley View Road is to be implemented and "old"
Palley View Road is to be cut off with a cul-de-sac placed east of Topview Road.
lopview Road is proposed to continue south to "new" Valley View Road. The
cor,.pletion of this road project is. scheduled for Spring, 1985, approximately two
years fr(m the, present. In the mean time, access to the site will be via Highway #5
to Plaza Drive. The implementation of the Valley View Road project will be an
important link to the transportation network, enabling adequate auto access and
circulati)n for devoloprionts within this regional conro;iercial area. f
Th•� Plan;iinq Staff has had tho engineering firm of MW do a traffic analysis of this

( Trips generated from the commercial area lying south of Valley View Road, east of
Prairie Center Drive and north of T. H. P5. 60% will flow to the north intersection
of Plaza Drive and Valley View Road. Because of the heavy left turning movements,
Plaza Drive will need to be at least 43 ft. (four lane) in the area of road yet to
be constructed. 70 ft. of right-of-way will be necessary.
The proponent has placed a five ft. wide sidewalk on the west side of Plaza Drive.
Staff recommends the sidewalk be place within the right-of-way along the cast side
of Plaza Drive.
Utilities
Water, sanitary and storm sewer will service the project. Sanitary sewer is
proposed from the building linking to the Metro Interceptor Sewer line, which runs
north to south through the site. Catch basins are placed throughout the parking
lot. Storm seiner drainage will connect to the stubbed lines implemented with the
Menard's development located west of Plaza Drive. Two watermains have also been
stubbed to the west border of the plat. 411ater service to the site will tie to these
mains then each will run on one side of the building tying to an existing watermain ?
along Valley View Road, providing a looped system. Staff recommends the
continuation of the watermain along Plaza Drive to the south property line allowing
for future development of the adjacent lot.
Prier to Final Plat, the proponent shall submit detailed information to the
Engineering Department regarding utility easements, water, sanitary sewer, and storm l
sewer calculations. r
The proponent shall submit plans to the Watershed District for review and approval
prior to the final plat.
Grading
The site, after grading, maintains its present character of a large, flat site,
inclined north to south. Cutting up to 10 ft. is proposed along the north portion
of the site. Filling of B ft. occurs at the south portion of the structure. This
cuti'ing and filling results in a large flat area to be used as the building pad. A
2/1 slope is proposed adjacent to Valley View Road.
Landsc rn
�ing/Scrcend
The proponent has submitted a revised grading and landscape plan addressing
screening of parking, loading, and mechanical areas. Along 100% of the exterior
walls, the proponent has placed a 10 ft. landscaped green space consistent with the
Staff's recoina,ndation.
The proponent has revised the number of landscaped islands within the parking area
from 22 to J0. These large island canoi;,y trees visually interrupt the horizontal
nature of thn par 1,inq lot, broakinq up the continuity of the large number of
automobilw. ;and pruvidinq cror;n cover screening of the parking area from higher

stalls. Stotf recox !"nds that the proponent revue tho landscape plan, planting
trues within the i 1.uuL; which arc not landscaped in lieu of providing additional
l,rne isl,nids within the parking lot. Staff reconrnends that the plant material type
Factory Outlet Centre 4 April 8, 1983
within the parking lot be changed from Honey Locust to 3 to 3-112 in. caliper Ash f
which would provide a more dense crown cover.
The rooftop mechanical units are consolidated in four. A metal facade
architecturally integral to the metal facade over the entrances is proposed. Staff
recommends that this rooftop mechanical screening be selected to match the color of
the roof. Details shall be submitted to the City prior to the City Council.
The screening of the trash container and loading areas has been revised by
increasing the adjacent berm height to 4 ft. The proponent has also placed two rows
of ornamental trees within this bermed area. Staff recommends that the proponent
add at least trio deciduous overstory trees to each bermed area to provide higher
visual relief to the building mass. The grading plan shall place the back wall of
the trash enclosure into the bermed area, as a retaining rrall, and doors shall be
provided to enclose the trash receptacle area. {
Plaza Drive i
A 5 ft. berm is proposed along Plaza Drive. This berm is basically 5 ft.
higher than Plaza Drive, but only two feet higher than the parking lot. The
parking lot elevation increases 14 ft. end to end from the south to the
north edge of the site and tilts toward Plaza Drive. The proponent revised
the site plan, increasing the adjacent green space along Plaza Drive from 20
ft. to 30 ft., by reducing the available green space along the I-494 ramp
from 20 ft. to 10 ft.
Staff recommends the revision of the scuthxest parking lot layout per Figure
VI increasing the green space. This would reduce the parking by 8 spaces.
8erming at least 5 ft. high with 8-10 ft. evergreens and 3 to 3-1/2 in.
overstory trees shall be added in this area. The intent is to screen sight
lines from Highway t5 and from the corner of Plaza Drive. Evergreens shall
be placed on the south side of the south entrance drive. Plant material
implemented adjacent to the south and north access drives shall be a minimum t
of 3 to 3-1/2 in. for deciduous overstory trees, and 8-10 ft. for
evergreens. South of the north access drive, a fi ft. berm with evergreen
and deciduous plantings is proposed. North of the north access, 3 deciduous
trees are proposed, which offer no screening from Plaza Drive. Staff
recoimncnds the elimination of the adjacent 7 parking stalls, increasing the
green space area, providing for borming and an evergreen/deciduous planting i
area. Sight lines of 300 ft. from the access drive in either direction on i
Plaza Drive shall be maintained. (Figure t2) i
i
Between the two access drives, evergreen masses, approximately lOD ft. long,
with dedicuor:s overstory masses approximately 180 ft. long, are proposed.
Staff recommends a greater mix of evergreen plantings with deciduous trees-

( Plaza Drive and Valley View Road Intersection
Thg current proposal indicates a 2 ft. berm with a 200 ft. swath of
deciduous trees east of the intersection of Valley View Road and Plaza f
Drive. Sight lines to the parking lot are not screened. Staff reco;rmends ;
increasing the berm height to a 5 ft. minimum and landscaping with an
evergreen/deciduous mix. i
Valley View Road 1.
The current proposal is for a 3 ft. berm along Valley View Road with large
mass plantings of deciduous and evergreen trees. The adjacent 2/1 slope
does not allow for a greater berm height. Most plant material is planted on
the down slope, resulting in a lower effective height at the road level.
The low berm and decreased vegetation effective height results in a need for
dense mixed plantings of 10-14 ft. evergreens with 3 to 3-1/2 in. diameter
deciduous trees. There should be a greater mix of evergreen and deciduous
trees in the mass planting areas proposed.
Intersection of Proposed I-494 Off-ramp and Valley View Road
The Factory Outlet Centre is located directly south of'the I-494 off-ramp to
Valley View Road. The parking lot is approximately 30 ft. below the road,
resulting in direct sight lines to the much of the parking area and roof.
The steep slope allows no room for berming. The proponent has placed a row
of deciduous trees across from the ramp. Staff recommends large evergreens
in a dense planting mass in liou of the proposed deciduous trees.
I-494 Off-ramp to Highway W5
The I-494 off-ramp is approximately 16 ft. higher than the adjacent parking
area. The proponent has placed deciduous and evergreen trees along the 10
ft. wide perimeter green space. Five landscape parking islands with
deciduous overstory trees are directly west of the perimeter green space. i
Staff recor:nends that the deciduous tree type within the islands be changed
from Locust to 3 to 3-1/2 in. Ash providing for more dense crown cover.
Highway V5
Long site lines to the site from Highway #5 will be eliminated with the
addition of landscaping and berming along Plaza Drive. The revised parking
tot layout in the southwest corner, which would result in a large green
space for berming and landscaping, will block incoming sight lines. The
development of the south parcel adjacent to the parking lot will ultimately
screen most of the parking.
The proponent shall revise the landscape plan per the Staff Report
recomncndation to be reviewed and approved by the City prior to the City �.
Council.
S1 Jnac�i
The sitr. plan depicts one free standing sign located along the northeast perimeter
of th;: site. lho sign would be of metal construction, illuminated, painted brown
Factory Outlet Centre 6 April 8, 1983
ind orange. The proponent has requested a variance in regard to the maximum l
allowable height and size. The City Code states that a Regional Comnercial area is
allowed one, free standing sign per each street frontage. One sign shall be up to 00
sq. ft. with each additional sign up to a 36 sq. ft. maximum. The maximum height
shall not exceed 20 ft. One wall sign up to 15% of the total area of the exterior
wall for each tenant is allowed. The proponent requests the approval of one 12 ft. i
by 21 ft. sign. The Staff recommends the variance for alloying the large free
standing sign in lieu of tenant wall signs. Staff recommends that the sign have an j
effective maximum height of no more than 20 ft. higher than adjacent Valley View
Road.
Lighting _.
Parking lot lighting shall be down lighting, reducing off-site glare, with a maximum
height of 30 ft. Staff reconrnends that a pole and fixture detail be submitted to
the City for review and approval prior to City Council.
Exterior Paterial
The developer is proposing a painted concrete block building. The block material is
to be rock-face block and break-off block, with a painted stripe on plain concrete
block. The Staff is concernicd about the long term durability and maintenance of the
building since it will require periodic repainting. Also, both Menard's and Cre•!;n
Auto have been constructed ud th dark brown face brick. In order to continue. with
`he architectural inaterials theme started in this quadrant of the MCA, we would
strongly suggest the use of brick.
Interior Space
The interior of the Factory Outlet Centre will have two 450 ft. long corridors,
which cross at the center of the building. Individual storefronts along the long,
linear corridors should be designed to provide a variety of width of the corridor,
such as done in Prairie Village Mall, to eliminate the long "hallway" look.
Cash Park Fee
The proponent shall pay the required Cash Park Fee.
RCCO"r"•,ENDATIONS
Staff recom:rends approval of the Factory Outlet Centre PUD District Review, with
variances, zoning from Rural to C-Regional Commercial, and preliminary plat of 27.6

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen Sullivan, Assistant Planner
THROUGH: Chris Enger, Director of Planning
DATE: March 25, 1983
APPLICANT: Amcon Corporation
FEE OWNER: Menard, Inc.
PROJECT: Factory Outlet Centre
LOCATION: South of New Valley View Road, north of T. H. #5, west of I-494, and
east of Menard's Plaza
1
RE�(UESTS: 1. PUD District Review for 16.2 acres to be used as a shopping
mall with the following proposed variances:
i --less parking than required by Code 1
--painting of rooftop mechanical equipment rather than
screening as required by Code
--a larger free standing sign than allowed by Code
--type of building material
--floor area ratio greater than allowed by code
2. Rezoning of 16.2 acres from Rural to Regional Commercial
Service to be used as a shopping mall
3. Preliminary Plat of 27.6 acres 16.2 acres to be used for a
shopping mall and 11.5 acres to be left undeveloped, the
vacation of the right-of-way for proposed Plaza Drive, and
relocating of the platted location of Plaza Drive
Background
The proposed Factory Outlet Centre is a mall designed for 30 tenants who will sell
first line products to the public at discounted prices. The site is to be located
within a 43.8 acre parcel zoned Rural, which wis graded and left vacant with the
development of Menards to the west.. The Guide Plan depicts this area as Regional
Commercial, which is characterized by:
i
--sales and service operations
--large sites
--little or no pedesl'rian circulation
--high standards of site planning, architecture, and landscape design
The development of this large Regional Commercial area began with the zoning and
Factory Outlet CentCq (Staff Report 2 March 25, 1933
i
platting pf the Menards Addition. This included the platting of 70 acres into two
lots (Menards building and Crown Auto), Outlots A-F, and right-of-way for Schooner
Boulevard and Plaza Drive (Figure fl). The Factory Outlet site-lies within Outlot
D, E, and the Plaza Drive right-of-way. The proponent plans to vacate the existing
Plaza Drive right-of-way and realign it to the west, connecting to proposed Valley
View Road across from Topview Road. This results in a large parcel to the east of
realigned Plaza Drive to be used as the Fartory Outlet Centre site and a long narrow
parcel to the west. The parcel to the west of Plaza Drive has no development
proposed at this time. Because of the narrowness of this remnant piece, we would
expect pressure for development as small lot retail.
This project is a large scale and intensive land use typical of the Regional
Commercial Service District. Factory Outlet Centre proposes a 151,327 sq. ft. mall
on a 16.2 acre site for a 21% coverage, exceeding the City Code by 1%. The
proponent has requested a variance. The proposal also provides green areas within
the 999 space parking area and also a perimeter green space surrounding the site.
Berms of 2-3 ft. are proposed along Plaza Drive and Valley View Road. Loading and !
trash areas will be located between the wings of the structure with a 2-4 ft. berm
placed in front. There will be two access roads off Plaza Drive with a main
circulation road around and directly adjacent to the building. The building
material proposed is break-off block, rock face block, and plain concrete block with
a painted finish. Evaluation of these and additional proposed design components
result in severz,l areas of primary concern (Figure #2).
4
Screeui!iq
Stated in a condensed form, the City Code reads, "All parking, loading, and
mechanical areas will be screened from view from adjacent public roads and differing
land use types." The proponent has submitted a landscape/screening plan. A
variance has been requested by the proponent for painting all rooftop mechanical in
lieu of architectural type screening. The proposed Factory Outlet Centre sits much
lower than its adjacent land uses with a building pad elevation of 873.5.
I. To the north of the site lies Valley View Road and Topview residential area.
The grading plan indicates a 2-4 ft. berm along new Valley View Road with
groupings of evergreen and deciduous trees. The entire building roof and
rooftop mechanical equipment will be visible from the road and homes to the
north. Topviea residential area, at an elevation of approximately 35 ft.
higher than the proposed mall, will have direct sight lines to the entire
parking area, roof and rooftop mechanical. Four homes will be affected.
2. To the west lies Plaza Drive. A 2-3 ft. berm with groupings of evergreen
and deciduous trees is proposed. The berms will not be high enough, nor the
landscaping extensive enough to adequately screen the parking.
3. To the south is Highway #5. The planting plan indicates deciduous trees to
be planted along the south property line. Most of the parking lot will be
visible from T. II. ;IS.
4. To the east is the 1-494 exit ramp to Highway #5 West. Elevations of the
ramp are from [16t1 to tl"0, which is higher than the proposed site. The
landscape/screening plan proposes a collenade. of overstory deciduous trees.
Direct sight line:; lu thu entire eastern parking lot and rooftop mechanical
will occur.
Factory Outlet Centre Staff Report 3 March 25, 1983
5. Screening of the loading and trash container area is proposed by placing a
2-4 ft. bermed green space with deciduous overstory and understory trees
between the wings of the building. The proposed berm height with the
deciduous trees provides insufficient screening per City Code requirements.
The proposal is far short of the required screening. Revisions such as higher berms
and additional evergreen plant material are needed. Dedicuous overstory trees
should he used in combination with evergreen trees to provide crown cover for
screening of high elevations such as the Topview residential neighborhood and I-494.
Rooftop mechanical should be screened in an architecturally integral manner. The
roof color should be non-reflective and visually unobtrusive. The loading areas
shall be screened in an effective manner and the trash container areas enclosed. A
revised screening plan should be submitted prior to Commission action.
Green S)ace
r
The landscape plan portrays green space in three areas: the site perimeter, islands
within the parking and loading areas, and directly adjacent to the building.
1. The proposal indicates a green strip around the perimeter of the entire
site. A 35 ft. wide green space is proposed along Valley View Road, with a
20 ft. wide planning area along Plaza Drive and I-494 exit ramp. As
previously described in the screening evaluation, this perimeter green space
is the primary area for berming and planting for screening of the parking
lot and loading areas. The 20 ft. wide front yard planting areas should be
widened to provide the necessary area for higher berms and additional plant
material needed for screening. The Factory Outlet Centre site is
approximately 800 ft. by 1,101) ft. The widening of the perimeter green
space area would provide a more appropriate balance of green space relating
to the overall scale of the project.
2. Islands with overstory trees are proposed within the parking lot. This
design approach is intended to visually interrupt the horizontal nature of
the parking area with a vertical element and visually break up the visual
continuity of the large number of automobiles. Canopy trees will help to
screen the parking lot from higher elevations. The proposal indicates
approximately 3.5`1� green space coverage within the parking lot area. The
proposed parking lot is for 999 stalls for a total of 8.5 acres. Large
areeas of parking occur-, unbroken by plantings. Staff recommends that
planting areas within the parking lot be increased by at least 50%, not to
include the loading areas.
3. Along 50" of the exterior walls, a 10 ft. wide green strip is proposed.
This planting area provides a transition from the parking lot to the !'
structure. The proposed structure is massive and lineal being approximately
480 ft. across. Tht� straight, long walls of painted block lack detail. 8y
providinq a planted area around the entire building, it would soften the
Bard line and mass of the building (figure s3).
There is a need for additional green space throughout the Factory Outlet Centre
site. li;:side.s providing the space for adequate screening and providing relief from
the large parkiml areas and building, this green spare will help unify the entire
site.
Factory Outlet Centre Staff Report 4 March 25, 1963
Auto Circulation
The nature of this project promotes high volumes of traffic. The proponent
indicates that there would be 1,600 trips generated on an average day and 6,000
trips on peak days. Planning Staff estimates between 4,400-5,200 Average Daily
Trips.
The proposal indicates 999 parking stalls based on 6.6 parking spaces per 1,000 sq.
ft. of building area. The proponent has several similar malls and found this number
of parking spaces sufficient to handle the need, which is typical of other
developments within Eden Prairie. For example, the Preserve Center shopping area
has 6.6 parking stalls per 1,000 sq. ft. and Prairie Village Mall has 5.3 parking
stalls per 1,000 sq. ft.
r
1. The construction of Valley View Road is currently underway to the north of !
the site. A southbound exit ramp to Valley View Road is to be implemented
and 'old" Valley View Road is to be cut-off with a cul-de-sac placed east of
Topviear Road. Topview Road is proposed to continue south to "new" Valley
View Road. The completion of this road project is scheduled for Spring,
1985, approximately two years from the present. In the mean time, access to
the site will be via Highway #5 to Plaza Drive, which is designed with
capacity for crnrmerc"ial d velop^rent in the entire area. The implementation
of the Valley View Road project will be an important link to the
transportation network enabling adequate auto access and circulation for
dcveiupm�,.nts within this regional conrnercial area.
2. Access to the site is via two drives off Plaza Drive to a looped parking lot
road adjacent to and circling the building. This loop road provides access
to the parking lot, loading, and trash container areas. This looped road
should provide for an efficient, safe, and directive link for automobile
circulation. The Factory Outlet Centre proposes a semi-protected loop road
through the random placement of end magazines of parking areas. The north
parking lot has no end magazines and has car parking directly adjacent to
the loop road. In order to provide for a safer and more efficient parking
lot, the City recommends that a protected aisle be planned along both of the
access roads and the loop road. Staff recommends that at least 50p+ of the
end magazines be landscaped islands. The north access drive alignment shall
be revised to meet Plaza Drive at a 90 degree angle. The south access drive
has an insufficient stacking area. The elimination of the first east/west
secondary access off the south access drive would allow the ` necessary
distance for stacking when entering the site.
3. No pedestrian paths are planned. The residential population'to the north
will he within a walking or biking proximity to the mall. Trails are i
provided along Valley View Road. Staff recommends that a sidewalk be placed ;.
along the east side of Plaza Drive.
The site plan depicts one free standing sign located along the northeast perimeter
of tire. site. the proponent has requested a variance in regard to the maximum
allut;ablt height and si/c. hhe City Cu4e states that a Regional Conanereial area is
allowQd one frer: standing sign per each street frontage:. One sign shall be up to 80
Factory Outlet Centre'Staff Report 5 March 25, 1983
'sq. ft. with each additional sign up to a 36 sq. ft. maximum. The maximum height
shall not exceed 20 ft. One wall sign up to 15% of the total area of the exterior
wall for each tenant is allowed. The proponent requests the approval of one 12 ft.
by 21 ft. sign for limiting individual tenants wall signs. The Staff recommends
such an approach, but additional information should be submitted for further
evaluation of the one free standing sign and its location. The proponent indicates
no height or type of material for proposed sign. I
Lighting
The proponent has not provided any information regarding the lighting of the site.
Staff reconnnends down lighting, to reduce the off-site glare, with a maximum height
.of 30 ft.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Factory Outlet Centre is a development consistent with the Regional Commercial
designation depicted for this parcel. However, the proposal is an intensive land
use, maximizing the use of the Site with parking and building. As indicated in the
Staff Report, further revisions are necessary, The proponent needs 999 parking
spaces and a building area of 151,327 sq. ft. Additional perimetergreen space,
landscaped islands in the parking area, and green space adjacent to the building are
necessary. The current site is not quite large enough. Staff recommends the site
! be enlarged to include the additional area needed.
Staff recormends that the Factory Outlet Centre project be continued to in order for
the proponent to revise the site plan per the Staff Report.

! through the site to its north border to allow for circulation
between the neighborhoods. The northwest area of the plat was the
! most likely area for the connection as the northeast area supported
standing water and marsh grasses.
Chairman Bearman asked if extension of Deliwood Circle had been
considered to make such a link between the neighborhoods. Mr.
Putnam stater) that this would mean crossing an area with peat soil
types 19 ft. deep; therefore, it would he costly to use this as an
alternative. Mr. Putnam stated that, while they had no objection to
having a sidewalk extension to the north for recreational
circulation, they would prefer not to extend Harrogate Drive. He
added that the slopes through which the roadway would be aligned
were steep in the area to the north.
Chairman Bearman questioned the affect of the Conservancy Area
designaticn of Purgatory Creek as it pertained to this. proposal.
Planner Enqer stated that it affected the plat from the standpoint
of requiring replacement of the trees in this area caliper inch for
caliper inch for all those removed or disturbed.during construction.
Mr. Putnam stated that there would be no prOlem in amending the
Planning Commission Minutes B April 11, 1983
i
platting of the proposal to meet the requirements of the Shoreland
Management Ordinance with respect to setbacks. Torjesen asked if t
this would cause the proponents to lose a lot in the area of Lots 15
and 16. Mr. Putnam stated that one may be lost in that area, but
incorporated into another area of the site.
Chairman Rearman opened the public hearing and asked for comments
• from members of the audience.
Fir. Gary Nissen, Tartan Curve, stated that he had two concerns: 1)
Ile stated that he would be against the extension of a road through f
the plat to connect the neighborhoods in that he felt it would mean
increased traffic through his neighborhood; and 2) He stated that
he felt it was important that the recreational trail be built
through the site to allow his neighborhood access to the park area
to the east of the Dellwood project. Staff responded that the trail
was planned to allow access to the east and to the northwest where
the City had parks planned.
Fir. Ken 4leinzapfel, Tartan Curve, expressed concern regarding the
density proposed for the site. He stated that he did not feel the
111-9.5 designation was appropriate for this area. Mr. Putnam stated
that the smaller lots were located at the center of the project, not
along the periphery of the site to provide transition to the
adjacent properties. The lots adjacent to the existing residential
( areas were rcquested for RI-13.5 zo:iing.
I'{,T I0 i
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Schuck, to close the public
hearing.
Motion carried--5-0-0
MOTION 2:
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Schuck, to recommend
approval of the Toning of 27 acres from R1-13.5 to R1-9.5 for single i
family detached homes for Tandem Corporation/TCI' Development
Corporation for Dellwood, based on materials and plans dated
December 16, 1982, March 17, 1933, and March, 1983, subject to the
recommendations of the Staff Report dated April 8, 1983, with item
2e of said report amended to read as follows: Explore the
Possibilities of the continuation of Harrogate Drive to the north
property line for purposes of connection of the neighborhoods and
internal circulation; and item 2g of said report amended to have the
sidewalk along the west side of Harrogate Drive.
The Commission discussed the extension of Harrogate Drive in greater
detail. It was the consensus of the Commission that the road not be
continued through this projc!ct if significant trees would be
destroyed, slopes mould be badly damaged, etc. Also, the location
of the road should not be adjacent to the existing house at the
northvrest corner of the jroperty.

Re: 3/14/83 Meeting - K. Adolf, D. Putnam, G. Dietz
Dear Gene:
The meeting with you yesterday was very valuable to our planning r '
effort on our Dellwood project. These issues were discussed with -
proposed solutions to be incorporated in our preliminary plat.
1. Gene suggested that we connect the hill tip cul-de-sac to
the western street in an effort to reduce cul-de-sacs.
I responded that it appeared we could make the change with-
out much trouble or increased costs. Schell & Matson has
reviewed the suggestion with the following recommendation:
to connect the streets will not reduce stormsewer cost and
(dill increase sewer, water and street cost by about 300 feet
in lenyth plus still having a "bubble" on 900 turn that is
almost a cul-de-sac. The new street pattern does not work
as well with the natural grades as the cul-de-sac, and the
lots which result from the connection street alternate do
not fit the plan as the cul-de-sac lots.
With the information presented by our engineer and discus-
sions with the home builder of the lot we are proposing the
cul-de-sac alternate is the most feasible plan for this site.
Ken and I would be happy to discuss the specifics of this
issue at your convience.
2. Remove the curbed median at southern entrance from Dell
Road. OK.
3. " Design storm sewer system to have 800 foot maximum gutter
drainage. Move the storm sewer on the northern street to
the right-of-way rather than lot line. OK.
4. Check with Bob Obermeyer for design details for creek storm
water connection and catch basin design. Sump Catch Basins
6' Dia. and 3" to 4' pump would be required befor ponds.
5. Gene suggested the elimination of the sanitary sewer con-
nection to the south trunk adjacent to Purgatory Creek,
i
Mr. Eugene Dietz

and connect it east to the Dell Road manhole.
Ken has given this'a preliminary review and concluded that
the estimated costs will be slightly higher connecting east,
however, the maintenance and reduction of the slope disruption
is probably worth the cost. We will make the change in our
plan.
6. The 12" trunk watermain loop to the north was figured 3 different
ways. None of us has any solution yet. Your suggestion to show
all water mains as 6" will be followed. We understand that the
city will select a route for the oversized main with Dellwood
providing easements or as a part of our lateral system.
7. We asked about the type of preliminary grading plan which the
engineering department would require for plan review. We
asked if spot street, lot front, home front & back, rear lot
line elevations over the existing topo would be adquate2 I
indicated that prior to final plat approval the final 2 foot
contour plan would be provided for city review with earth
work quanities. You said that the spot elevation plan is
OK engineering, but that we should check with Chris for plan-
ning requirements.
8. You suggested we meet with the fire marshall for review of the
hydrant locations.
I believe these are the major areas covered in our meeting. Thanks
again for your help. If.you have any questions or suggestions, please
give Ken or me a call.
Sincerely,
Dick Putnam

FRM: Bob Lambert, Director of Couununity Services
DATE: April 14, 1983
SUBJECT: Dellwood Development proposal j
$upplcmental Report to the April 8, 1983 Planning Staff Report
i ..
Dellwood is located immediately west of the Edenbrook conservation area, and south-
east of a future neighborhood park referenced as the Duck Lake Area Neighborhood
Park in the Park and Open Space Plan. The Duck Lake Area Neighborhood Park will be
approximately 9 to 10 acres and serve the neighborhood west of Dell Road and north
of Duck Lake Trail. Access from this site will be along Harrogate Drive.
The Edenbrook conservation area will also provide a large open space amenity to serve
this site., Nature observation trails and several picnic sites will eventually be
developed in this large open space area.
The cash hark fee of $325 per single family unit will be charged to the Dellwood
project, generating $29,250. 7liese funds will be used to help develop the Duck
Lake Area Neighborhood Park,
Dell Road presently has a sidewalk on the east side and an 8' asphalt bikeway on the
west side. 11%is trailway offers safe access dorm to Valley View Road and the trail
system leading to Round Lako Park and the Community Center.
'1110 Planning Staff Report adequately describes the existing site character and the
Proposed site plan. Community Services Staff concur with the Planning Staff
recommendations regarding the Shoreland Management Ordinance and the necessary
transition and buffer from the Purgatory Creek corridor.
11te sidewalk adjacent to Harrogate Drive should be along the south and west side
of Harrogate Drive and Dellwood Drive, from Dell Road to existing Harrogate Drive.
Conmumity Services Staff recommend the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission reconmeiul approval of Dellwood as per the April 8 Planning Staff Report.

PROJECT, Dellwood i
APPLICANT
&—r51!-0T,,7N ER: Tandem Corporation/TCF Development Corporation
LOCATION: West of Dell Road and north of Duck Lake Trail
REQUESTS: 1. Rezoning of 27 acres from 111-13.5 to R1-9.5 for single
family detached homes
2. Preliminary Platting of 36 acres for 90 lots (2.5 units per
acre)
Background
This parcel had previously been approved for 83 lots and zoned 111-13.5. Prior to
the -xisting R1-13.5 zoning, the site was zoned R14-6.5 for 176 townhouse units.
Neither project was ever implemented.
The EAW was reviewed and approved for this parcel in 1980.
The Guide Plan indicates the proposed area as Low Density Residential (2.5 units per
acre).
Existing Site Character
The site is bordered to the west by an R1-22 residential neighborhood, to the east
by Dell Road, to the north by a wetland area, and to the south by Purgatory Creek. f
The existing topography is basically a large hill with an elevation of 935, located
in the center of the site. Irregular slopes ranging from 2-38% drain to Purgatory
Creek, Dell Road, and the wetland to the north. The steep slopes are located along
the south and northwest portions of the site. The low point elevations are 890
along Purgatory Creek, and 814 within the northern wetland.
A soil study for the site has been completed and results indicate soils conducive
for residential development.
The majority of the site is meadow grasses. Stands of mature trees exist along
Purgatory Creek and the northwest section of the parcel. Approximately 50%" of the
woods located in the nurtin:est portion of the site will be lost with development.
Wildlife will he displaced to the surrounding natural areas.
Dellwood Staff Report 2 April 8, 1983
' s
Site Plan
The proposal is for R1-9.5 east and north of new Harrogate Drive and to include the
five southeasterly lots along Dellwood Drive. The remainder of the site west and
south of new Harrogate Drive will remain R1-13.5 and provide a transition and buffer
from Ri-9.5 to the existing R1-22 residential area to the west.
9
The proposed grading plan indicates a rolling terrain with a wide range of slopes
from 4-40%, characteristic of the existing topography. Dellwood Drive and Circle ¢
propose grade up to 8%. The proposed grades are a combination of cutting and
filiiing averaging 6-8 ft.
'The majority of the site drainage is contained with on-site storm sewer located
within the roads. Some on-site drainage will be piped and run overland to Purgatory i
Creek and the wetland to the north. The outlet to the south to Purgatory Creek may
require a sedimentation pond. (This would be up to the Watershed District review.)
Water service will connect to existing lines along Deli Road and Harrogate Drive.
Staff recommends that the dead-ended lines along Dellwood Circle and Dellwood Drive
be continued to the west to Harrogate Drive, providing for a looped system. The
proposal indicates hydrant locations further apart than the 300 ft. maximum. The
alignment for a 12 in. watermain that will service neighborhoods to the north of the
site has not been indicated on the utility plan. The proponent shall submit
detailed information to the Engineering Department for review and approval regarding
l ewer, water, storm sewer calculations, hydrant locations, and watermain alignment
prior to final plat.
Purgatory Creek and the floodplain lie adjacent to the proposed development.
According to the Shoreland Management section of the City Code, Purgatory Creek is
designated as General Development Waters. Lots abutting with public sewer and water
must be 13,500 sq. ft. minimum in size, 120 ft. minimum width, and the structure
setback must be 100 ft. from the Ordinary High Water Mark. Lots 15, 16, and 17 are
within a Shoreland area and must be 13,500 sq. ft. Staff recommends the revision of
the proposed plat for Lots 15-17 to meet or exceed Shoreland Ordinance requirements
prior to final plat.
No lot lines or grading are proposed within the floodplain. r
The southern lots within the site are located within the Purgatory Creek Conservancy f
Area. The Conservancy Area was initiated in the Purgatory Creek Study to assure
preservation of characteristics inherent with the creek corridor. Development 7
adjacent to the creek corridor should provide the necessary transition and buffer t
from a natural to a residential land use. Staff recommends that the proponent
submit information to the City for review and approval prior to the City Council 4
review in regard to: ,
--grading limits
--trcatniont of slopes
--vegetation to he saved
--vegetation to be added for buffering and screening.
Any trees lost with development within the Conservancy Area shall be replaced
caliper inch per caliper inch within the Conservancy Area.
Dellwood Staff Report 3 April 8, 1983
( Outlots A and B, and,the area designated as Park in the southwest corner of the
development~, shall be dedicated to the City as a density transfer.
Ordinance Re uirements
The proposal meets or exceeds lot width, depth, size, and setback requirements.
Following is the proposed lot area information for the project:
Lot Size
Minimum Lot Size 9,500 sq. ft.
Maximum Lot Size 28,770 sq. ft.
Lot Size Breakdown: j
9,500 to 10,000 sq. ft. 16 3
10,000 to 11,000 sq. ft. 12
119000 to 12,000 sq. ft. 9
12,000 to 13,499 sq. ft. 20
13,500 to 15,000 sq. ft. 18
15,000 to 20,000 sq. ft. 11
20,000 sq. ft. and over 4
TOTAL 90 Lots
In order to provide variety within the development, Staff recommends that units
adjacent, directly, and diagonally across from each other be dissimilar. In
addition, no basic unit type, such as a garage front, a rambler, a side split, etc.,
shall be constructed more than three in a row along a street frontage. The
proponent shall submit information to the Planning Department regarding the
surrounding unit type for each adjacent lot prior to each building permit issuance.
All ,signage shall conform to the City Code. }
Transportation
Access to the site is via two drives connecting to Dell Road and the continuation of
Harrogate Drive through the s1.1fe. The proposal has two cut-de-sacs and one partial
till-de-sac. The partial cul-de-sac located on Dellwood Lane provides the plat with
one additional lot. The Staff has reviewed the continuation of the Dellwood Drive
cul-de-sac west to Harrogate Drive. One lot would be lost, the lots left on the
Curve would be excessively deep (2.&0 ft.), and approximately 300 ft. of additional
road would he needed. Tile linking of this road would provide for unrestricted snow
removal, but would not provide any value for public safety or neighborhood auto
circulation,
i
i Dellwood Circle cul-de-sac is surrounded by steep slopes which limit the possibility
of it continuing to Harrogate Drive.
C Currantly residential development proposals to the north of the site have been
submitted to the City. Start rer.oinmends the continuation of Harrogate Drive to the !
is
Dellwood Staff Report A April 8, 1983
i
i
` north property line. .Staff has found that with the addition of 200 ft. of road, the
connection would eliminate one cul-de-sac in the north area of the development and
provide pedestrian and auto circulation between adjacent neighborhoods and provide
access to the park.
Dellwood Drive and Dellwood Circle meet Dell Road at approximately 8% grades. Staff
recommends that the grading be changed providing flat approach areas prior to the
final plat submission.
A bike trail and sidewalk are located along Dell Road. Staff recommends the
placement of a five ft. wide concrete sidewalk along the south and east side of
Harrogate Drive and along the south portion of Dellwood Drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Planning Staff reconmiends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the
request for rezoning of 27 acres from R1-13.5 to R1-9.5 for single family detached
homes and preliminary platting of 36 acres for 90 units, subject to the following
recomnendations:
1. The following plans be submitted to the City for review and approval prior
to City Council review:
a. Plat showing revision to Lots 15-17 to meet or exceed Shoreland and
( Floodplain Coda requirements.
b. Rcplacemant plan for any trews lost within the Conservancy ,Area to
be replaced caliper inch for caliper inch within the Conservancy
Area.
d. Detailed information regarding grading limits, treatment of slopes,
vegetation to be saved, areas to be planted, buffering and screening
for the Purgatory Creek Conservancy Area.
2. The following plans shall be submitted to the City for review and approval
prior to final plat:
a. The proponent shall show looped watermains to Harrogate Drive from
Dellwood Circle and Dellwood Drive cul-de-sacs.
b. Hydrant locations shall be revised to meet the 300 ft. maximum
distance.

MEMORANDUM ;
J
�,. i0: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Manager Carl J. Jullie G`�J
SUBJECT: Deferment of Special Assessment✓UUUUs for Disabled Persons
DATE: April 29, 19B3 d
The attached petition letter from Mrs. Grannes is submitted for your consideration.She is requesting the Council to amend Resolution No. BO-111, to provide for deferment
of Special Assessments for disabled citizens as well as senior citizens. Mrs. Grannes
suffers from blindness. Special assessments for sewer and water in the amount of
•$7,600.00 were levied against her lot in 1982, payable beginning in 1983. This year's
payment of principal and interest is $1,436.00.
Mr. Pauly advises that if the Council chooses to proceed, it will be necessary to
direct Staff to prepare an amendment to the City Code, Section 2.84, authorizing such
deferments, and to then amend Resolution No. 80-111.
The economic limits of Resolution No. 80-111 could remain unchanged, except I would
recommend that the limit on household income (item 4) be increased from $9,000 to
$12,000. State Statutes do provide a definition of full disability which could be
incorporated into the Resolution, or the deferment could be limited to a specific
disability such as blindness, which is very specifically definied in the Statutes
and I would think more easily verifiable by a physician.

Toi Eden Prairie City Manager, Mayor, and City Council
Frans Jeffrey W. Holte— Twin Cities Survival Game
April 22, 1983
City of Eden Prairie Leaders, i
l
First, let me state that this is a most disappointing letter to
write. I have lived in Eden Prairie most of my life and have always
been actively involved in the community. I now teach in Eden Prairie
and am still very involved in the community such as being a member of
the Cummins—Grill Restoration Committee. Over the past years I have
given a lot to Eden Prairie.
( Recently, however, something has occured which has disturbed me a
great deal . This past winter my brother, Dan and I, after reading
several magazine articles and making several inquiries, decided to
operate a game that is nationally called the Survival Game.BY
operating this game on weekends during the summer we thought it could
help par :, portion of my graduate school work at the U. of M., as
well as some of Dan's tuition in engineering school.
A brief word about what the Survival Game really is. The Game,as it
is called, is precisely that, a game. Nothing more, nothing less. It
disturbs me greatly when people read more in to this game or sport,
than really exists. Wes and people who play this game, are not
"survivalists", weirdos, or right wing militerists (I've never even
met one) . We are normal folks who like to play games. No different
than someone wanting to play softball and a lot less violent and
physically injurious than football or hockey. We splatter, paint on
each other and capture flags. There is no hidden agenda, just team i
statagy, energy burning, and a lot of fun. I've enclosed an article
from Time magazine which, I feel , better describes our, game than did
a recent Minneapolis Tribune article, even though it is not written
about us in particular. Also, if interested, the May issue of Life
Magazine contains a story concerning the game.
In early March of this Year I approached the City of Eden Prairie
concerning the use of land in rurally zoned areas in which to play
this name. At that time I had, in writing, notified the city of MY
intentionsa. including the fact that our, game was a small business.
Shortly thereafter I recieved verbal permission to pursue play in
Eden Prairie. We played one day in Eden Prairie on some land owned by
y
APR 251,
.33
5711 1ST AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS,MN 55419 (612)869-5599
GA14V,
Appleside Orchards on Dell Road with full permission of the land
owner. Now most people, having permission from the city and land
owner, would assume that there would be no problems in playing. We
had, we thought, gone through all the proper channels. Then the
Minneapolis Tribune article. Then some public concern to city
officials. Then we are no longer allowed to play in Eden Prairie.
Needless to say, this is rather upsetting to me. As I understand the
situation there are two areas of concern. One, .the City of Eden 1
Prairie does not permit commercial activity to occur on rurally zoned
land. If that is strictly followed with no exceptions, why wasn't I
told this originalIY? Are there no other forms of private enterprise
occuring in rurally zoned areas? I feel this brings us to the second
area of concern. The image that the game may invoke upon Eden
Prairie. I have received the impression that because this game
appears to be negative to some citizen„ that the city officials are
not interested in having it in their city. I've always thought that
the Eden Prairie City Government objectively viewed things from
reality and not from reading an article in the Minneapolis Tribune.
But the image. What would it look like to others, these people
playing this survival game in Eden Prairie. Probably less popular
than knowing the Vikings or North Stars play in Eden Prairie. (Our
game is certainly less violent than either of the former.) What does
Eden Prairie stand for? I'm not sure I know.
You say, I have options to pursue. Yes, one. To apply for a zoning
change for the portion of land we use to play at Appleside from
agricultural to commercial . The unfortunate part for me is that, even i if this change should be approved, the increased taxes on the
property would be about $2000. This would equal more than the entire
profit we could ever hope to make the entire year. That would be
deficit earning=_ and would not pay for many tuition credits. Those
are our options. We can't even make a presentation to the City
Council because we can't afford to ask for a zoning change and no
other options are available.
I realize that all of this may be a small matter to you as there are
obviously much larger matters pressing, but I want You to know what
this whole thing has cost us in time, money, and energy. It is a very
big deal to us. We have spent hours, days, talking to and i
negotiating with various landowners, hiking around, writing letters,
checking platts, calling, etc., all in hopes of finding land in Eden
Prairie that we could play on. After all , we thought we had
permission. Not only' that, but the past two weekends that we have not
been able to hold games on our field have, needless to say, cost us
d;IT�`5,
5711 1ST AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS,MN 55419 (612)869-5599
h�
GA14V,
financially and people from al over the Twin Cities that had
reservations were frustrated to find play canceled. We do not know
what we'll do now. It's obviously difficult and time consuming to
find land.
I am not trying to be bitter or cynical here, but I hope I have
expressed to you how little people like me can get ground up and spit
out of the machine without much thought. It hurts.
Sincerely
26y W. Hol to

Re: Restructuring of _
Metropolitan hfatershed
District Boards of Managers
Dear Mayor or Board Chairman:
Ch;lpter 509, Laws or 1952, the fetropolitan Surrace Water Management Act (Act),
amended the 1•latershod Act - Minnesota Statutes Chapter 112 -by changing both the
procedure ror selecting metropolitan watershed district managers and the maximum
size of metropolitan watershed district beards of managers.
Section 14 of the Act added a new Subdivision 7 to Minnesota Statutes Section
112.37• This new subdivision allows up to nine managers on a metropolitan watershed
district. It jso states that the initial managers or new metropolitan %,atershed districts
shall be selected rrom a list or nominees submitted by cities and towns having territory i
in the district, if at least three nominees are submitted for each position to he filled.
Section 15 of the Act amended Minnesota Statutes Section 112.42, Subdivision 3,
by directing county commissioners having authority to appoint metropolitan watershed
district managers to select them from a list of persons nominated by cities and towns
having territory in the district, if the list contains at least three nominees for each ;
rnr,nager position and is submitted at Icast 60 days prior to the expiration of the term(s)
of office.
i ,
Finally, Section 16 of the Act added a new Subdivision 3a to Minnesota Statutes
Section 112.42. This new subdivision directs the Water Resources Board(Board) to
restructure the boards of managers of metropolitan watershed districts established
before the effective date of the Act to ensure compliance with the requirements of Sections
14 and 15 of the Act. It states that, "Additional managers, if any, shall be appointed by
the county designated by the Board, to terms designated by the Board, at the time of the
next regular appointment of successors to managers of the district." It further directs
the Board to"...request recommendations from the district and the affected local
Government units."
THE WATER RESOURCE'S BOARD REQUESTS THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE
GOVERNING BODY OF YOUR CITY, TOWN, OR COUNTY ON WiIETHER THE SIZE OF
THE BOARD OF MANAGERS SHOULD BE INCREASED, AND 1F SO, THE NUMBER OF
MANAGERS PREFERRED.
The Board has also mailed a letter to the watershed district requesting their
recommendations.
The Board has encouraged each metropolitan watershed district to invite a repre-
sentative of each local governmental unit having territory in the district to a meeting to
discuss whether the size of the board of managers should be increased. if the watershed
district and affected local units reach a concensus, the Board encourages you to jointly
submit a recommendation. If a concensus is not reached, recommendations can be
submitted individually.
After receipt of local recommendations, the Board will decide whether an increase
in the size of the board of managers is in the public interest. if the Bcard increases the
size of a district's board of managers, it will issue an Order distributing the additional
manager positions among affected counties and designating the length of their initial terms
of office.
If you have any questions, please contact Mel Sinn at 296-28L0.

TOTAL $23,516
The total amount reprogrammed in Year VIII was $65,681. Two proposed activities
were not eligible under CDBG regulations. These included the Staring Lake play
structure and Safe Homes Program. Due to these ineligible activities, an amount of
$20,044 was not reprogrammed. The Planning Department recommends utilizing these
funds in Year IX for Land Banking for Senior Housing. Other possible fundable
activities would be additional money for the following: Housing Rehabilitation,
Restoration of the Curmins-Grill House, or improvements at the Senior Center. Below
are the reprogrammed amounts for Year VIII:
Activity Budget
Year VIII Total Amount Reprogrammed $65,681
General Administration 880

MCA Fioodplain Study 3,874
Senior Center Improvements 23,900
Housing Rehabilitation 5,593
Cummins-Grill House 19,474
TOTAL $65,681
Amount Not Reprogrammed $20,044
Proposed activities for CDBG Year IX were reviewed and approved by the PACAC on
April 12, 1983. A total of $81,181 was allocated to Land Banking for Senior Housing
and $3,874 for Planning and Management Development.
All efforts to program and reprogram CDBG Funds according to City Council
recommendations at the March 15, 1983 Council meeting have been made.
For Council's information, $166,D00 will be expended in the acquisition of the
Edendale Senior Housing site in the near future. The City's total amount banked for
future Senior Housing at this time is $105iO97.
At the Tuesday night meeting, Planning Department Staff recommends that the Council
adopt Resolutions #83-87 and #83-88 regarding CDBG Years VII, VIII, and IX, and take
action for preliminary reprogramming of $20,044 to Land Banking for Senior Housing.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Allotment of Community Development Block Grant
Funding for the Ctmunins/Grill House
At the March 15 meeting several members of the Eden Prairie City Council expressed
concern about funds allocated for the architectural fees for the restoration of
the Grill house. It was noted that repair of 'lie electrical wiring, replacement
of the furnace and repair of the plumbing were more immediate concerns and, in
fact, if the wire wasn't repaired the building might be in danger of being
destroyed by an electrical fire.
11le Council decided to leave tile. $20,000 request in the Couununity Development
Block Grant fund; hovever not to designate the specific expenditure at this time
and to continue this item for furt.hcr consideration.
Since the Dlarch IS meeting, staff at the Office of Planning and Development have
indicated that histm is sites are eligible; however, they are only fundahlc if
the proposed improvement is an "immediate need" and necessary to eliminate the
specific conditions of "physical decay".
Replacement of the furnace and repairing the electrical and plumbing deficiencies
and are t
meet. this defin n itio of eliminating physical decay fundable.
Also, any architectural fees that are necessary to complete t this his project are also
fundable it.ems. Ilowcver, tite architectural fees for the entire project would
not be fundable.
Staff recornncnds spending only the amount of funds necessary to obtain plans and
specifie;itions, and for the rcp]ocement of the airing, the furnance, and the l
critical plcunhinit needs, and requests the Council to aut.laorizo spending Community

SUBJECT: Staring Lake Park 'frail Construction Phases
The City is presently in the process of obtaining an easement agreement between I
Joint Independent School listrict 287 and the Ci.ty of Eden Prairie for the con-
struction and maintenance of a trail system across the District's property adjoining
Staring Lake Park. Tile segment of trail across the District's property is necessary
to complete the trail system around the lake.
The City intends to construct an asphalt trail for bicycle and pedestrian use and
to designate a trail for equestrian use within the easement area.
Earlier this year the City staff suggested this project be completed in three phases
over a Three-year period. At that time, staff had recoumended constructing the
bridge across Purgatory Crock during the first phase in order to complete the
circular trail systems as soon as possible. Upon further consideration City staff
is rccomnrc,nrl ill g rinvelupment of this project in three phases Ovcr a three year period
wi.th the following work to be completed in each phase:
1. The first phase of the project would he to complete an asphalt trail
from the p;rr•k shelter c•aste']y to Purgatory Creek, then south to the
bike trail cur County Road 1. This would provide a two mile loop all
within City property.
2. The second phase of the project would be an asphalt trail from the
interesection of County Road l and Mitchell Road north and easterly
to the Eden Prairie Senior Citizen Center.
3. The third and fi.na] phase of the project would be the construction
of bridges across Purgatory Crock and the construction of the asphalt
trail on School District property compluting the loop around Starring
Lake.
City staff feels, that it is preferable to constttrct trails within City property prior
to constructing it trail ou the school District property for several reasons: �
j
1. Having shorter stretches of completed trails will give this City some time to
develop a ln'ogram;i for puliring and maintenance of this trail system.
2. Starff fevl:; that the School Itistrict miry feel bettor about connecting
to an c, isting trail system than being the first phase of :+ City trail
sy!;t cm.
3. 'llro School Itistrict pr(—,vntly only w,mt.s to enter irr a ten year easi•inent
agrarmcnt, staff moultl feel work' comfortahlc beginning this toll year
_2.
` lease ap,tecment with a completed trail system rather than during the
l first phase of construction. 1hcrc will be greater usage of the trail
system upon final completion of the trail and therefore less problem
with vandalism, motorized vehicle use of the trails, etc. which are
the things that concern the School District.
r
Staff requests the Council to authorize City staff to proceed with the construction
of Staring Lake park trail as outlined. fach phase of construction is estimated
to cost approximately $40,000. Funding for this project is from cash park fees.

SUBJECT: Sidewalk/Trail Policy
At the March 21, 1983 meeting, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
discussed at length the City mothod for development of the City trail system including
sidewalks and bicycle trails. Tile Commission requested staff to provide the Commission
with a summary of existing City policies relating to the development of the trail
system and summarizing the methods for financing this system.
Between March 1974 and May 1914 there were four accidents involving bicycles on County
Road I. As a result of this alarming statisic, a Ilikeway/Bikeway Task Force Committee
was developed to study the need for a trailway system within the City of Won Prairie.
This task force sited roads such as Valley View Road, County Road 1, County Road 4,
Highway 5 and 169 as high speed, high volume roads not conducive to pedestrain or
bicycle traffic. This task force indicated to the City Council that a pedestrian
and bicycle pathway system was a vital part of a well planned community and recommended
that the City Council develop a trail system linking existing and future activity
cont.ers with exist.il,g and flrture population areas as a basis of a community widr trail
System. 1,wo of the objectives of the report were to develop a system of trails
conducive to "a safe transportation use" and develop a system of trails conducive to
"recreational use".
The Ilikeway/Bikeway Task Force Report made a clear delineation of transportation
bikeway/hikeway systems and recreational bikeway/Ilikeway systems. The recreational
bikeway or pedestrian way was Rene-rally resource oriented and located in natural areas
through creek corridors, around lakes or other areas especially suited to recreational
use,
A transportation trail system differs from the recreational trail system in that it
is user oriented and provides a direct link between population areas and activity
nodes such as schools, parks, churches, places of work, and shopping areas. A
transportation pcltlnduy should have a basic purpose to provide people a more desirable
alternative to walking or riding in a busy street. In some cases the transportation
Pathway will occur in a natural arca that is also conducive to a recrcational trail
system such as the pathw:Iy adjacent to Anderson Lakes Parkway within the park or one
that will occur adjacent to Research Road within Staring Lake Park.
111e task force completed an extensive survey of the residents of the community regarding
the need and dasire for pedestrian and bicycle pathti within the City. These surveys
indicated that, all extremely lli•rh.percvntage of adults, high school students and
nid;lle school students w:11ked of 11Sed bicycles to Vi:;it their neighbors, visit marks, j.
::hopping cn•cas and schools. 'lhe survey indicated a strong support for a trail system f
that would provide :;afc pedestrian and bicycle systems to serve these. needs. 3}
-2-
Ihe task force established priorities for development of trail systems within the
City. County (toad 4 from the northern boundary of Eden Prairie, south to County
Road 1 was the first priority and was designated as the backbone of the initial
trail sv tcuu. 'fie reconmiendation was that two separate pathways; one for pedestrians f
and one'for bicycles should be developed along this entire length and should be
physically separated from the road.
Tite second priority was for a physically separated path for bikes and pedestrians
along Valley View Road, from County load 4 cast to the Major Center Area. 'I'hc report
also recommended a major pedestrian trailway from the porest Hills area through
I:denvale across Purgatory Creek, going west through Hillcrest Court and South Hill-
crest Court to County Road 4.
The third priority was a pedestrian bicycle route along Duck Lake Trail from the
Hidden Ponds area, easterly to Cortnty Road 4. The fourth priority was a separate
pathway from Mitchell Road, taest along Scenic Heights Road to County Road 4. 'llte
fifth priority was for a separated biketaay along County Road 1 from County Road Is,
west to County Road 4.
The report recommended that the collector and feeder trails that connect to the
primary trails be constructed by developers in the future areas and maintained by
the benefiting homeowners. Ihe task force recommended that the City be responsible
for constriction and maintenance of the primary trails such 'as along County Road 4,
County Road 1, Valley View Road, etc. when there is "not enough existing surrounding
land use to be nM e to determine benefit, the cos-.: of these trails should either
be distributed throughout the entire City or separate funding obtained".
Ilse existing; trails adiacent to County Road 4 and County Road 1 were constructed
primarily with the assistance of Federal, State and County grants and with cash park
fees used for matching funds. A portion of the trail along Anderson Lakes Parkway
was paid for by the Metropolitan Council. 'Ihe remaining portion was constructed
through cash park fees or as part of the road improvement project and paid for
through assessments. Bicycle trails being constructed adjacent to Prairie Center
Drive and those that have been constructed along the improved Valley View Road west
of County Road 4 :rid adjacent to Dell Road were all funded through the road project
assessment procedure.
the Community Services Staff concurs with the task force report in that trails that
occur within the park system are recreation;11 trails and part of the park system,
and thus are eligible for cash park fee funding assistance. Ihe majority of the
trail system within the City however is part of the City transportation system and
should not be funded through cash park fees. State, law does not refer to construction
of a trail system.as rationale for charging cash park fees, nor has the cost of the
City trail system been figured in tho formula to determine tJte cash park fee charge.
Ihe Community Services hepartmont recommends that the City continue to require
devcluprrs to pay fen• the construction of trails or sidewalks within their develop-
anent, adjacent to 11CW or existing roads. 'Ibis should simply be considered part of
the price for development within this City.
The Con..:mmity Surviccs Staff would recommend that the City consider a special levy
for slot onl)• conslrrtction n1, tr,!il:: along existing roadw:[ys through areas that h;tvc
alve:!.ly' hcca developed, but aleu for cun•;truetiun of sogr!rnts of the City transpor-
tation r!;! hr,[y systcw that will not mort State aid requirements and where ;uac:uunent
of the a,liuccnt pro1wrl) u[,rtrr; i:, not fcasihlo. P.xcnnples of some of these road
projcCl:• ;uC111110t Ilunn•ward Ililf:: Ituad, south of Sunnybrook Ituad to the suction of
j
of liomcward Hills R(')ad extended through the Pax Christi property. There are also
sections of Anderspn Lakes Parkway between Mitchell Road and Highway 169 that will
be very difficult'to construct through the assessment process. She same problem
occurs for the construction of hicycle trails. Several examples are the section
of bicycle trail adjacent to County Road 1, from Round Lake Park north to the
Eden Prairie boundary, or adjacent to Duck Lake Road, from Duck Lake Trail west to
Dell Road.
The Community Services Department has in the past been responsible for designing
and constructing all trails within the City adjacent to existing roads or within
parks. Ale Community Services Department will continue to recommend to the Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and to the City Council priorities,
location and types of trails within the City and will be responsible for development
of all recreational trails within City parks, etc. However, the City Engineering
Department has assumed responsibility for acquisition of right-of-way and construction
of transportation trails adjacent to City streets.
The City has approximately 35 miles of trails and sidewalks constructed within the
City. This is approximately halfway toward the goal of over 70 miles of trails
within.the City according to the existing Trails Plan. 'ihe majority of the
future trails within the City will be constructed as existing roads are upgraded or
adjacent to new roads such as Prairie Center Drive. These trails will he financed
through the assessment process; however, the City will receive more and more pressure
to construct the Short gaps in the trail system that are necessary to connect various
neighorhoods with significant natural resources such as Staring Lake Park and Round
Lake park. The funning for these "gabs" is not available from cash park fees or
any other cxistinl; source at this time. Staff requests the Parks, Recreation and
Natural kssourcc, Crnumission to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding
methods for providing, funds for the future development of these vital trail links.

April 14 to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission provides that
information.
This memo reenforces tine lii.keway/Bikeway Task Force Report that divides the City
trail system into two segments; the transportation trail system and the recreation
trail system. City staff recommends that the Community Services Department continue
to be responsible for the design and construction of the recreation trail system and
the recreation trail system be funded through cash park fees, bond issue fiords and
the general City levy. City staff further reconuaends that. the locations for the
transportation U ail system be reviewed by the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission and recommended by the Community Services staff, however that the design
and construction of these trails (sidewalks and other major trails adjacent to road-
ways) he completed by the Lngi.ncering Department, i.e. staff responsible for design
and construction of City streets. City staff further recommend that cash park fees
not be used for funding of transportation trails because these trails are not a part
of the City park system and were not figured in tine formula to determine the cash
park fees.
At the April 1S meeting, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission took
the following action:
MOTION: "Breitenstein moved that this Commission take tine following
positions on sidewalks/trail policies: 1) the developer pay
for the tr:rosportation trails, plus cash park fees; 2a) the '
City develop n fund for constructing transportation trails
to fill in gilts that presently exi.St in tlm trail system; i

3. The design competition will provide the City a clear view of the direction
the planner is proceeding in his design concept of this site, thereby
eliminating the chance of selecting a firm and having that firm provide
a plan that is not acceptable to the City (a good example is the existing
plan that cost the adjacent landowners $10,000 but was not acceptable to
the City).
Staff recognizes that a planning firm would invest a great deal more than ecl
in providing the 100 foot scale base map and a 200 foot scale model, and because
of this some firms may decline to submit a proposal; however, after talking to
City officials at Fridley who required a similar design competition for a City
Hall Plaza and adjacent park area, City staff arc now convinced that this process
is the best ;,gay to guarantee hiring a firm that will satisfy our needs.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
MCA PURGATORY CR'EIiK RVC1ZGA'!7i0N AREA MNSTER PLAN y
BUDGET: The budget for the development of the floodplain hasn't
` been established. llopefully, the Master Plan will estab-
lish a budget. (A tentative outside figure should be
I million.)
i
TIME TABLE: Completion - October 1, 1983 .
a
SITE INFORMATION: Exact boundaries of the'''site will be determined by the
Master Plan. The general boundary of the site is the
floodplain of Purgatory Creek south of Highway 5, west
of Castle Ridge Retirement Homes, and east of Chestnut
Apartments. (Maps of the general area are available
upon request.)
PURPOSE OF T11E REQUEST: As the MCA road system develops, pressure to develop the
adjacent land increases. The City landowners are forced
to make decisions on land surrounding this large flood-
plain without really knowing what will happen within the
floodplain, where the boundaries of the recreation area
should be or where access points should be.
This floodplain area has the potential to be the major
amenity and attraction to our City center. It. is import-
ant to develop a plan for that area that is acceptable to
the City and the adjacent land users to encourage high
quality development that will focus on this amenity.
UACKG1101IND 1D7'O1C�I-VilON: A schematic plan showing an IS hole golf course in this
floodplain was developed in 1980, 71iis plan depicted a
large dike that was necessary to handle the flood storage,
and required a million cubic yards of fill. The estimated
cost of the development was approximately 2 million dollars.
The Community Services staff objected to the plan basically
for two reasons. First of all, staff felt the plan didn't
thoroughly investigate all the recreational possibilities
on that site and did little to serve the people that will
work and live adjacent to the site; and secondly, staff
felt that developing a golf course on a million cubic yards
of fill, spread over soils that were unstable to a depth
of 20 feet and deeper, presented the City with a long term,
high cost maintenance problem.
Tile City would prefer a plan that requires a minimum amount
of fill from off the site, and that would invite people
living and working in the MCA to use the facilities rather
than merely viewing them.
SCOPE OF WORK: The work will include gathering any necessary soils informa-
tion as well as becoming familiar with existing information
avai,lahle. 111c City will provide information on existing
soil borings, fined storage requirements, ownership records,
zoning and Guide Plan recommendations for adjacent land uses.
-2-
The planning process should investigate the feasibility of
a variety of recreational facilities that could be developed
on this type of property (unstable soils) including a golf
u course use (18 holes, 9 holes, or par 3), trails, active
use areas such as tennis courts, or open park areas for
casual use, and perhaps a concert area or a major access
plaza area. The adjacent landowners are especially concerned
with this area as a visual amenity (they supported a golf
course). Adjacent land uses include regional commercial,
high and medium density residential and industrial. Staff
feels that this recreation area should provide access to the
general public as well as people who live and work adjacent
to the site.
The planner will be expected to work with City staff in
developing a blaster Plan for this site that can be accom-
plished through phases over a long term period. The Master
Plan should have cost estimates for each phase of the pro-
ject and should also propose methods for financing this
development. Presentations of the draft plan will. be made
to adjacent property owners for their review and input.
The planner shall provide the City with 100 maps of the
approved Master Plan at 200 scale and 100 copies of any
additional documents that accompany the maps.
EVALUATION CRITERIA: Firms will be evaluated on two main areas: The first is
their experience in developing recreational facilities,
parks, etc. in flood-plains: the second is their credentials
on developing unique and creative use of open spaces.
The planning firm must demonstrate a complete understanding
of working with the Watershed District on maintaining flood
storage capacity requirements, as well as understanding
methods for dredging, construction of dikes, and developing .
recreational uses of areas with unstable soils through
surcharging or other proven methods. If soils engineers
will be used as sub contractors, they must be noted, with
information of their experience.
The planning firm must demonstrate to the City that it has
the expertise to develop a plan for this area that is
economically and physically feasible, yet will create an
amenity that will attract high quality housing; and commercial
development due to its existence. This facility should
someday be the focal point of our City center.
PROPOSAL FORK%T: The proposal should include a list of the project team,
their profile and relevant project experience.
The proposal should also include a list of the projects that
are similar and a brief description of those projects and
the name of the planner in charge. Include the budget versus j
actual cost of the project. 1 The procechme and time sequence your firm will follow to
complete this project by October 1, 1983 should be included.
-3-
Explain your fees to complete this project.
The proposal must be limited to a maximum of 10 pages
ADDITIONAL INFO101,1TION •Ihe City is using Community Development Block Grant funds
$ REQUIREMENTS: for financing this planning process; therefore, the firm
hired must meet all federal hiring prodecurc standards
regarding equal opportunity, and will be required to fill
out compliance forms.
DEADLINE FOR RFP's: The deadline for accepting RFP's is May 27, 1983.
SELECTION PROCESS: The committee will review all RFP's and select 5-6 for
an interview.
The planning firm will be asked to give a brief slide
presentation on projects of similar requirements,
preferably in floodplains, and explain who would be
working on the project and how he/she would proceed to
meet the needs as described in this RFP.
The committee will then select three firms for a design
competition. Each of the three firms will be paid one
thousand dollars to submit a minimum of the following:
I. A 100 foot to one inch scale base map of your
firm's concept plan of the entire site.
2. A 200 foot to one inch scale model of your firm's
concept plan for the entire site.
3.. A budget analysis of the estimated cost to develop
the site according to the concept plan.
The committee will recommend final selection of a planning
firm to the City Council based on the design competition
phase.
CONTACT PERSON: The project director from the City will be Robert Lambert,
Director of Community Services, tel: 937-2262, ext, 37.

SUBJECT: Community Center Membership Qualifications
Attached to this memo is a memo from Chuck Pappas outlining some of the qualifi-
cations some people have listed whereby they felt they should be qualified to
purchase a memborsliip from the Eden Prairie Community Center.
During the first few weeks of 1982 when the Community Center was opening, all of
employees were new, and a number of people with these types of questionable qualifi-
cations for membership were sold memberships. Many of these people have come back
to renew their membership for 1983. 11iis year the staff is somewhat more experienced
with City policy and have questioned some of these qualifications.
The Crnnmunity SCTViCe8 Staff recommend that the qualifications be kept very simple.
r The person q:ust live in Uden Prairie or work for an Well Prairie business. 11iis
business must be located in Eden Prairie thereby contributing to the debt service
and the operating expenses, through taxes, of the Eden Prairie Community Center.
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission reviewed this recommendation
at their April 18 meeting and recoimnended approval as per the staff recommendation.
