City Council Minutes -4- November 15, 1983
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been published
and notices had been sent to property owners within the project vicinity.
Ron Krueger, proponent, addressed the proposal.
Director of Planning Enger noted this request had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its October 24, 1983, meeting at which time it
voted to recommend approval subject to the recommendations included in
the Planning Staff report dated October 21, 1983. Enger indicated this
request had been reviewed by the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
Commission and it had suggested the area along the slope on the northeast
side of the proposal be described and covered by a scenic easement within
the conservancy area of Purgatory Creek. Enger said there has been additional
concern regarding the location of the access to County Road 4; work has been
done in an attempt to resolve these concerns. Enger reviewed the various
alternatives and explained the pros and cons of each. He noted that the
fewer intersections along County Road 4, the better; that was the a reason
for looking into alternatives. He stated that the property owner to the
south had been consulted as to his plans for that property and that is
how the alternatives had been developed. Another question to be resolved
is how to save the trees. Krueger reviewed the rationale for how the
site plan was determined.
Anderson asked which proposal would have the least impact on the land.
Enger said that would be the proposal as presented by Krueger. Penzel
asked which would have the least impact on traffic safety. Enger said
the plan which would limit access to County Road 4 to one intersection.
Anderson asked about the feasibility of a right-in, right-out turn only.
Enger said that would not present the best situation, but it would not
be an unduly hazardous situation either. Krueger said the County has
said the right-lane turn at the Duck Lake intersection will have to
remain. Enger said the possibility of having County Road 4 a four-lane
road through this section of Eden Prairie will have to be looked into.
•
Bentley suggested the developer come back to the Council with a redrawn
plan. Penzel said Krueger should work with the property owner to the
south to make some adjustments to the plan; he noted he is in favor of
the Hidden Ridge concept. Redpath asked when the realignment of Duck
Lake Road would be done. Director of Public Works Dietz said that will
be done this coming year. Tangen said he felt there were two issues
which had to be examined: the environmental and safety -- and these two
issues tend to conflict with each other. He said he felt a decision
could not be made at this time because the details were not available;
he said he would like this referred back to Staff so these details can
be worked out.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue this Public
Hearing to December 6, 1983, and refer this back to the developer and
City Staff for further consideration. Motion carried unanimously.

City Council Minutes -5- November 15, 1983
D. REQUEST FROM JOHN LIEPKE FOR COUNCIL REVIEW OF BOARD OF APPEALS &
ADJUSTMENTS DECISION ON VARIANCE NO. 83-33 •
City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been published.
He reviewed the file on this request.
John Liepke addressed the request noting this was a unique situation.
The address of the home is 15208 Scenic Heights Road and was built in
1890. He said it was one of the oldest homes in Eden Prairie. He noted
he would like to build a deck and reviewed the plans of what was proposed.
Liepke said he understood there was a "grandfather" clause. City Attorney
Pauly explained that the "grandfather" clause applies to non-conforming
uses -- those properties which do not presently conform to proper set-
backs, etc., and existed prior to the passage of a particular Ordinance;
it is a non-conforming use as long as the use is not expanded or changed
and therefore is allowed to continue in that form. Pauly explained that
because Liepke is intending to expand, he is subject to the terms of the
Ordinance.
Redpath asked if Liepke has attempted to meet with his neighbors as per
the request in the Minutes of the Board of Appeals & Adjustments. Liepke •
said he had not; he said he did not feel he had gotten a "fair shake" from
the Board of Appeals & Adjustments and therefore chose to come before the
Council.
Bill Gilk, 15212 Scenic Heights Road, said this has been a long, drawn out
• project. He said he felt a 15' setback was quite adequate. He stated the
design of the deck does not conform to the design of the old farm house.
He noted that this has strained relationships in the neighborhood and has
created a negative impact. He asked the Council to take into consideration
the work of the Board of Appeals and Adjustments. He said he felt the deck
constituted more than just that -- it is an addition to the home. He said
it would have a negative impact on the neighborhood.
Raymond Rannow, 15210 Scenic Heights Road, asked Liepke if he intended
to cantilever the deck over the footings and if the footings would be
15' from the property line. Liepke said it would be 15' back or 20'
back from the easement and according to the plan which had been presented
to the Board of Appeals & Adjustments. Rannow said he was not happy with
the plan.
Ethel Wokash, 15214 Scenic Heights Road, said her husband's main concern
is about the run-off from the second story roof and its effect on the road
which is private and must be maintained by the residents. Liepke said he
would repair the road is there were problems.
City Council Minutes -6- November 15, 1983
Tangen asked what the side-yard setbacks would be in an R1-22 District. Enger
said 15'. Tangen said he felt this neighborhood had the characteristics of
that type of neighborhood (R1-22) and while the neighbors might not feel the
deck to be aesthetically acceptable that is a matter of personal opinion and
he would be inclined to grant the variance.
Bentley said he questioned the precedent setting aspect involved in this
decision -- does the Council take action or not. He reviewed the findings
of the Board of Appeals and Adjustments.
Redpath said no matter which direction Liepke were to add on to his home
he would offend someone because there are neighbors on all sides. He suggested
Liepke make a final attempt to work out something with the neighbors and come
back before the Council in two weeks.
Anderson said he had a similar problem with an addition to his home whereby
he was unable to get a building permit due to restrictions on homes in his
neighborhood. He said there should be uniform enforcement.
Penzel said he felt the rules should be applied uniformly and there is time
for compromise with the neighbors.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue this Public Hearing
to December 6, 1983, to allow time for Liepke to work with his neighbors on a
solution to his deck problem. Motion carried unanimously.
VI. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS NOS. 10522 - 10745
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Penzel, to approve the Payment of Claims
Nos. 10522 - 10745. Roll call vote: Anderson, Bentley, Redpath, Tangen and
Penzel voted "aye." Motion carried unanimously.
VII. REPORTS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS
A. South Hennepin Human Services Council - Mary Hayden and Rosemary Dysinger
This item was continued to the December 6, 1983, meeting.
VIII. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Request from Alex Dorenkemper regarding denied shooting permits
Penzel noted Dorenkemper's letter of November 10, 1983, (see attached)
regarding the denied shooting permits.
Alex Dorenkemper, 18925 Pioneer Trail, reviewed the points expressed
in his letter.
City Attorney Pauly said there were considerations of safety involved
which he felt could be best expressed by Captain Keith Wall. Wall
referred to his memorandum of November 14, 1983, in which the request
was addressed (see attached.)
•
•
•
City Council Minutes -7- November 15, 1983
Redpath said he was willing to go along with the recommendation of
{ the Public Safety Department because it has the where with all to
make these decisions.
City Attorney Pauly said the City Council has the authority to take
into consideration the public safety issue. •
Anderson said he felt it was irresponsible to be in favor of hunting
with rifle slugs in the City of Eden Prairie.
Penzel said he had calls from people who were concerned that hunting
was going on in the City. He said there is also a problem with controlling
where hunters might be. He said this request might bring to a head the
decision as to whether or not hunting of any kind is appropriate in
Eden Prairie.
Walter Bentz, 9802 Crestwood Terrace, relayed his experience with hunters
in the area and expressed concern about the number of children who use the
various outlots for play areas. He stated it is a dangerous situation to
mix the recreational use of the outlets with hunting.
Tom Jensen, 9806 Crestwood Terrace, said he did not feel the residents
should have to be exposed to this type of danger. He said he cannot
afford to outfit his children in blaze orange.
Jerry Harris 9844 Crestwood Terrace, s<id he did not know how this got
to this point because it is such a dangerous issue.
Penzel explained that as the City has developed the City has restricted
hunting more and more. Hunting zones were created to allow such in some
areas of Eden Prairie. The City Council must now decide if this is still
viable; more specifically, is this particular request appropriate.
Jill Grier, 9848 Crestwood Terrace, expressed concern for her three children
and dog. •
Sonja Brown, 9869 Crestwood Terrace, said she is fearful of hunters in
her backyard; this is where her children, as well as other neighborhood
children, play. She said hunting is far too dangerous to be allowed here.
Penzel asked Director of Public Safety what the experience has been this
Fall relative to hunting in the City. Hacking said there have been a few
complaints which Captain Wall has personally handled. The complaints, in
general, have come from the area immediately south of City Hall. He said
he thought the situation should be studied.
City Council Minutes -8- November 15, 1983
Bentley asked if there was anything in the zoning ordinance which pre-
cluded it. Pauly said that is inherent in the ordinance and the process
of acquiring a permit that the activity for which the permit is sought
not be potentially dangerous, and if it found that it is then the request
for the permit can be denied.
Redpath said he would have to believe that Captain Wall had good reason
to deny the request. Bentley said he was only trying to draw an analogy
between types of ordinances.
There was discussion as to what types of ammunition were used in various
weapons.
Pauly said he would suggest the Council, if it should determine the
request should be denied, give consideration to interpretation as well
as the safety factor.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Redpath, to deny the permit on the
basis that the characteristics of the weapons used and other public
safety factors deem such action necessary.
Anderson said since the City has a permit system, it would appear that
the City has a process under which permits could be revoked. Wall
said the Public Safety Department may issue a permit, the ordinance
does not say the Department shall issue a permit.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to establish a citizen's
committee to review the situation. The matter will be referred to Staff.
Wall suggested the original hunting committee be reconvened since most
of the members of that committee still feel they are members of a standing
committee.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
IX. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS & COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Council Members
Penzel - 1. Expressed displeasure with the action taken at the November
1st Council Meeting regarding the location of Council meetings in 1984.
He said he would like to see the Council leave its options open. Bentley
said he would like to see the decision left to the City Manager. Tangen
pointed out the discussion relative to the parking situation at the Community
Center. Anderson said he would not like to see the public inconvenienced
by the parking situation at the Community Center either.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Redpath, to hold meetings of the City
Council beginning with the January 3, I934, meeting at the School Admini-
stration Building for a period of three months. Motion carried unanimously.
City Council Minutes -9- November 15, 1983
2. Liquor License Terms and Method of Payment - Penzel said he would
like to explore the possiblity of splitting the liquor license fee
so that / could be paid in January with the second half then due in
June. He noted that this would make payment easier for some license
holders who find the $7500 fee difficult to come up with in January. -
Bentley said he would like to know what the requirements are accord-
ing to State Statutes. He also suggested the City review what is
done by other cities in the metro area.
The matter was referred to City Attorney Pauly for his review.
B. Report of City Attorney
There was no report.
C. Report of City Manager
There was no report.
X. NEW BUSINESS

UNAPPROVED MINUTES
EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1983 4:30 PM, CITY HALL
COUNCIL MEMBERS: Mayor Wolfgang H. Penzel, Richard Anderson, George '
Bentley, Paul Redpath and George Tangen
COUNCIL STAFF: City Manager Carl J. Jullie and Finance Director
John D. Frane
ROLL CALL: Councilmen Bentley and Tangen were absent.
Assistant City Attorney Richard Rosow reviewed the court decisions relative to
Richard Miller Homes request that the City decertify the special assessments levied
on the Timber Lakes project which are currently delinquent.
Mayor Penzel questioned what precedent, if any, does a unilateral action on the
part of the City Staff obligate the City and/or the City Council to a further
commitment.
Mr. Davidson, representing Miller Homes, indicated that the lawsuit brought was
a "friendly" suit initiated so that the City might have the authority to resnread
the assessments. This authority could come as a result of a court order or an
opinion of the City Attorney that the original assessment is or may be invalid.
Mr. Miller indicated that he does not wish to upset the fine relationship he has
had with the City.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, that the City Staff should contact
Miller Construction relative to their request. Motion carried unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:15 p.m.

MEMO
TO: City Council
FROM: Steve Durham, Assistant City Planner
THROUGH: Chris Enger, Director of Planning
DATE: December 15, 1983
SUBJECT: HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM
Eden Prairie since 1981 has made available, through CDBG Funds, Housing
Rehabilitation Grants to City residents. This program has been instrumental in
providing limited income households with emergency, health, and energy improvements,
i.e., replacement of unsafe furnaces, connection to City Services when private
systems fail, proper insulation , storm windows, doors, etc.
The City administered the program until September of 1982, at which time it turned
the program over to Hennepin County because of staff constraints. During the City's
administration, approximately 15 applicants were received of which five were
eligible and processed. Hennepin County has processed two applicants as of October
1, 1983, with three applicants waiting to be processed.
Since the beginning of this program, the City has allocated $19,637 to the Housing
Rehabilitation of which $12,525 has been expended and $7,112 committed to applicants
being processed presently. In order for Hennepin County to process the three
applicants waiting, additional funds are required. The Planning Department suggest
transfer of funds from Assisted Housing Construction to Housing Rehabilitation in
the amount of $20,018. The intended use of the $20,018 was for the Staring Lake •
play structure which was not an eligible CDBG activity. Staff also recommends that •
the City take back administration of the Rehabilitation program, thereby having more
control over the program and making it more accessible to Eden Prairie residents.

Hennepin County thereby agreeing to participate in a grant application under the
Urban County resignation provided for in the Housing and Community Development Act
of 1974; and,
•
WHEREAS, a grant application has been prepared requesting funds to undertake a

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Chris Enger, Director of Planning s
DATE: December 9, 1983
PROJECT: Brock Residence Inn
LOCATION: Southeast quadrant of T. H. 5/U. S. 169 and I-494
APPLICANT: Brock Residence Inn
FEE OWNER: Hustad Development, Inc.
REQUEST: Rezoning from C-Regional to C-Regional Service
The City has received a request from Brock Residence Hotel for approval of a 122-
room facility located at the northwest corner of I-494 and U. . 169/212,
directlofy 3
west of Major Media. This hotel would be constructed on approximately
a 7 acre site, owned by Hustad Development. The feasibility of this project depends
j upon the use of Municipal Industrial Development Bonds for financing. There is a
bill currently being discussed by Congress to eliminate, or severely limit the use
of MIDB's. It is unclear exactly when Congress would take final action regarding
1
this bill or in what final form the bill may be. However, there is concern that the
bill would be retroactive back to January 1, 1984. Even if the bill were not
adopted, it is anticipated that bond counsels advising clients would not give an
opinion on the legality of bond issues until Congress takes final action. The effect of this is that the use of MIDB's for financing will effectively be cut off i
,
after January 1, 1984, until Congress takes action, and depending upon that action,
may be permanently curtailed.
Brock Residence Inn has applied for MIDB's and the City Council has scheduled a
special public hearing for December 27, 1983, in order to try and considerrpethem
prior to January 1, 1984. In order for the City Council to give of favorable approval for this method of financing, it is necessary for the site to be I
zoned correctly for the use. We have scheduled the rezoning request for the
Planning Commission for Monday, December 12, 1983, and for a public hearing before
the City Council for Tuesday, December 20, 1983, with agreement from the proponent 1
that information normally required for evaluation of a rezoning request would be
submitted as soon as possible for a site plan review, which would be identical to R
the rezoning process. Both the proponent and the fee owner of the property have
agreed to enter into a development agreement between the first and second reading of 1
the zoning ordinance, which would obligate them to the site plan review process $
through Planning Commission and Council prior to building permit issuance. We
recognize that this is a highly irregular way to treat a rezoning request, but we
believe it at fords the City the Salle dffiree of control and plan review required in
the rezoning process, and helps to accommodate what promises to be a very high
quality use for the Major Center Area.
We have had additional meetings with the proponent, and they will be working on
detailed site and building plans over the weekend, and we will be meeting with them
gain on Monday to review those plans. We will not be asking the Planning
Commission to react to specifics on these plans Monday evening because we will have
formal review process within the next several weeks. However, we do think it is
important for the Planning Commission to see the general lay out of the plan and
character of the buildings in order to assure that this is an appropriate use of the
site. We have reviewed the Comprehensive Guide Plan and the rezoning request from
C-Regional to C-Regional Service is in conformance.
The legal description published for the Council public hearing and Planning
Commission public meeting encompasses the overall Hustad site, and we would suggest
that the Planning Commission limit any approval to that area proposed by Brock
Residence Inn. We would be able to modify the size of the rezoning between first
and second readings of the zoning ordinance.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Approval of the request for rezoning from C-Regional to C-Regional Service for
approximately 3.5 acres for use as a 122-room hotel, subject to the developer and
fee owner of the property entering into an agreement with the City which would
require detailed site plan review by the Planning Commission and City Council prior
to building permit issuance.

Dear Mr. Enger:
The purpose of this letter is to describe the Brock Residence
Inn which is proposed for the southeast quadrant of T.H. 5/US
169 and I-494, and to explain why Municipal Industrial Devel-
opment Bonds (MIDB's) are necessary to finance the project.
Brock Residence Inns are all-suite hotels; each suite contains
a bedroom, a kitchen with full-size appliances, and a living
room, most of which have a fireplace. The suites are in 21
story brick buildings containing eight suites each. The
enclosed brochures show what the buildings in a southern cli-
mate look like; the buildings here will have interior stairs
and doorways and a brick exterior. The areas between the
buildings will be planted with trees and shrubs. This hotel
will contain 128 suites in sixteen buildings plus a Gatehouse,
which contains the front desk and a lobby.
The hotel does not have meeting rooms, a restaurant, or a bar,
but it is expected that restaurants will be built near the
hotel, possibly adjacent to it. This use of the site is con-
sistent with the guide plan.
a
Mr. Chris Enger
December 15, 1983
page two
All-suite hotels are an attractive alternative to conventional
hotels, especially for frequent travelers on extended stays
and families that are relocating. Eden Prairie should pro-
vide substantial numbers of both business people in to work
on projects or training at the nearby office/industrial parks
and people moving to the new homes in the city. Having this
hotel in Eden Prairie should make the city a more attractive
place to the businesses that are expected to locate in the
nearby office and industrial parks by providing a convenient
place to stay rather than driving several miles to the east
to stay in Bloomington.
Brock Residence Inns are new, franchises were first sold in
June, 1982, but over 100 hotels are committed to be built.
There are currently nine hotels open with six scheduled to
open in the first quarter of 1984, and approximately 30 more
in various stages of construction. Brock Hotel Corp., the
parent of Brock Residence Inns, Inc., is the largest operator
of Holiday Inns in the world. This project will be leased to
Brock and operated by them.
MIDB's are necessary for this project to be built because of
the terms of the lease between Brock and Eden Prairie Hotel
Company. The difference between the rental Brock will pay
and the debt service on a conventional loan is too great for
the project to be feasible, at least until there is a substan-
tial decline in the interest rates on conventional loans.
• While economists never agree on anything, most are not pre-
dicting such a decline in the foreseeable future. The future
of MIDB's is unclear after December 31, which is the reason
Mr. Chris Enger
December 15, 1983

that the resolution of all issues concerning this project
must be completed this year. We do appreciate the coopera-
tion and direction that you have given us to date.

western boundary of the City of Eden Prairie. A continued
public hearing.
Mr. John Bossardt, Bossardt-Christenson, representing the proponent,
explained the changes in the plan, pointing out the additional
walkways, totlot, and tennis courts to be part of the plan. Mr. Bob
Davis, architect for the proponent, reviewed the amended elevations
for the multiple units.
Planner Enger added that, per the amended plans, free-standing
garage units were provided for at least half of the required parking
spaces. He stated that there had not yet been resolution to the
situation involving access to the project via the subdivision to the
north along Lorence Way. This would be required prior to occupany
of any of the units. Planner Enger stated that care should be
taken in the location of the totlot, as required by the Parks,
Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission, to be certain that as
few trees as necessary would be removed for development of the
totlot.
Hallett questioned whether it would be necessary to eliminate so
many trees with the revised plans. Staff responded that they had
been working with the proponent to determine whether alternatives
such as retaining walls in strategic locations could be used in
order to preserve as many trees as possible.
Torjesen asked if there was a limit as to how much of the
development could be completed before the access road from the
subdivision to the north would be necessary. Staff responded that
access was available to the site from Evener Way, also, but there
were no other routes available. It was suggested that a temporary
access road from Highway #5 could be used for construction traffic
and interim traffic until Lorence Way was built through the
subdivision to the north.
nl.
Planning Commission Minutes 2 November 14, 1983
Gartner stated that this alternative would not provide for a
secondary access for any of the people living in the townhouses
within Crescent Ridge.
Planner Enger stated that the City was of the opinion that Lorence
Way would be built within a short period of time, although it may
not be ready for use by the time the Crescent Ridge development
needed it.
Torjesen asked if a restriction could be placed on occupancy within
the Crescent Ridge development until such time as the Lorence Way
access was available. Staff stated that neither the City, nor the
developer of Crescent Ridge would have control over such a
restriction, which would make it difficult to handle as a
requirement of the development. Staff added that it was understood
from the developer of the subdivision to the north that the road
would be completed in the early Spring, 1984.
Torjesen asked if it would be necessary to remove any trees between
the proposed single family units and the multiple units for the
project. Mr. 8ossardt stated that some trees could be saved if a
few of the detached garages were eliminated. Torjesen asked Staff
if there would be a difficulty with reducing the number of detached
garages. Staff responded that the parking requirements were met on
' the site already, and that the detached garages in this area could
be removed without affecting the parking requirements.
Gartner asked if the proponent was still suggesting variance from
the required front yard setbacks. Staff responded that the site
plan had been corrected to bring the front yard setbacks into
compliance with the Code.
Hallett asked if there were plans for the 50-acre ponding area for
recreation purposes beyond the trails shown around it. Staff
responded that the ponding area would basically remain as it is now
visually. Upon dedication of the area to the City, there would be
several alternatives available, including duck ponds, etc. Staff •
added that it would be possible to dredge out a portion of the
ponding area, as was done with Neill Lake, also. This would be left
to the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission.
Chairman Bearman asked Staff to check into the rights of the public
on private roads, as were proposed in this development. Staff
responded that the City Attorney had been contacted about this and
was preparing a response. •
Chairman Bearman asked if this project would provide privacy fencing 0.T;
and landscaping between the units as had been done with several
projects within the community. Mr. Davis responded that this would
be shown in the landscaping plan to be submitted to the City at a
later date. He added that it was their intention to screen between
each unit.
Chairman Bearman stated that he concurred with Hallett regarding the
`. r/1
Planning Comnission Minutes 3 November 14, 1983 ;P\
•
location of the totlot. Significant trees should not be removed in
order to locate a totlot as shown on the plans. Mr. 8ossardt stated
that they would review this, adding that he believed that the
majority of trees in that vicinity were diseased elms, which would r ..
require removal.
Torjesen pointed out that the length of the road within the multiple
portion of the development was approximately 900 feet, which was
substantially greater than allowed by Code for a dead-ended street.
He stated that safety matters should be considered in this area and
potentially an alternative routing provided to eliminate a 900 foot
cul-de-sac. Torjesen asked when Dell Road was scheduled. Staff
responded that it would be at least three years.
Planner Enger suggested that a looped road system connecting to the
private roads could be accomplished for a temporary period of time,
or at least until Dell Road was completed.
Chairman Bearman asked for comments and questions from the audience.

MOTION 2: ':f
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Marhula, to recommend to the
City Council approval of the Planned Unit Development District
Review and Zoning for 26.6 acres from Rural and R1-22 to R1-13.5 and
20 acres from Industrial General and Rural to RM-6.5, with
variances, for the Crescent Ridge development by DCC Development,
based on revised plans dated November 11, 1983, and written
materials dated October 3, 1983, subject to the recommendations of
the Staff Report dated October 21, 1983, with the addition of the
following: 1) No construction shall be allowed west of the bend in
Lorence Way until Lorence Way is constructed; 2) No side-by-side
units for the townhouses shall be identical, nor any units directly,
or diagonally, across from each other shall be identical; 3) A
landscape plan shall be submitted, taking into consideration methods
for elimination of as few trees as possible, including, but not
limited to, elimination of some free-standing garages, relocation of
the totlot and the use of retaining walls for the townhouse units
closest to the proposed single family residential units within the
project; and, 4) A temporary private looped road be constructed
between the two private roads until the completion of Dell Road
along the west property line.
Marhula questioned the need for requiring the units in close
proximity to each other to be differing types. Planner Enger •
responded that it would likely be possible due to the variety of

elevations provided by the developer. Mr. Bossardt stated that he
agreed and felt the condition could be met.
Torjesen asked if it was the intention of the motion that no units
be constructed west of Evener Way. Gartner stated that it was and
that she felt no units should be built west of the woods until
Lorence Way was connected.
Planner Enger stated that the problem was with construction traffic,
not residential traffic.

Comprehensive Guide Plan change from Industrial to Medium
Density Residential; Planned Unit Development Concept for

acres; Planned Unit Development District Review and Zoning
for 26.6 acres from Rural and Rl-22 to R1-13.5 and 20 acres
from Industrial General and Rural to RM-6.5, with variances;
Preliminary Plat of 27.5 acres for large lot residential and
20 acres for multiple residential; and Environmental •
Assessment Worksheet Review. Location: North of Highway #5
at the western boundary, of the City of Eden Prairie. A
• public hearing.
Based on the review of this project by the Planning Commission at
their August 29, 1983, meeting, proponent had revised the plans to
•
reflect the recommendations of the Commission at that time.
Mr. John Bossardt, Bossardt Christenson Corporation, representing
• the proponent, reviewed the revised requests with the Commission.
Mr. Bossardt discussed the concerns of the surrounding, existing
Planning Commission Minutes 2 October 24, 1983
residents as presented at a neighborhood meeting held by proponent.
Mr. Bossardt stated that the price of the individual units in the
multiple area would range from $65,000 to $90,000.
Staff reviewed the major concerns of the Staff Report for the
project including, concern for the architectural variety, emergency
vehicle access, availability of parking, and landscaping/screening
for the property.
Hallett asked if the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources held
jurisdiction over the wetland areas in the northeast quadrant of the :'
proposal. Mr. Bossardt responded that they were concerned with any
area two acres or greater in size. Neither of these were that
• large.
• Marhula asked how density transfer was being used for this proposal.
Staff responded that, previously, proponent had requested a density
transfer due to the "down-zoning" requested of a large portion of
•
industrial property to a residential use. This proposal did not
make the same density transfer request and was only suggesting a
transfer of density from the flood plain area, which wa:, in
accordance with City policy.
Marhula asked about the alignment of Dell Road. Staff stated that
plans were under discussion to align the remainder of Dell Road from
its termination north of the site, south to Highway #5 along the
Eden Prairie/Chanhassen border which would be of the most benefit to
the parties concerned. The cost of the road, which would be used by
both communities, would, therefore, be split between the two
communities.
Marhula asked what the final outcome would be of the two wetland
areas shown in Phase 1. Mr. Bossardt stated that these two areas
would be filled.
•
Hallett asked if there were any plans for pedestrian movement along
Highway ii5 in the future. Staff .responded that there were not, but
that a bituminous path currently existed from Prairie Village Mall,
westerly to Heritage Road. The Commission discussed the possibility
of installation of a bituminous path along the east side of the
north-south single family road within Crescent Ridge, then easterly •
along the north side of Highway F5 to Heritage Road to complete a
pedestrian path to Prairie Village Mall.
Johannes asked if there would be a need for a sidewalk system within
the development. Planner Enger responded that there would be a
sidewalk along Lorence Way and through the project along the flood
'
plain area.
Johannes asked if it would be appropriate to require that the •
townhouse units be dealt with in a manner similar to the R1-9.5 lots
whereby no house could be the same as that directly or diagonally
•
Planning Comnission Minutes 3 October 24, 1983
across from, nor adjacent to itself. •
Gartner asked of additional right-of-way was necessary for the
eventual upgrading of Highway #5 from this project. Staff stated '-, ,
that the Minnesota Department of Transportation was yet to respond
to that question. •
Terry Rhoades, 7660 Heritage Road, representing the Heritage .
neighborhood, had several questions on behalf of the neighborhood:
1) Was the density transfer justified; 2) Was adequate water
available from the public system to service this project; 3) Was
adequate storm water drainage available to avoid pollution of the
lake; 4) Would the trees on the site be preserved; 5) Was a variance r
necessary for the size of the buildings; 6) How would construction
•
traffic be controlled so as not to impact upon the existing
' neighborhood; and, 7) Would recreational amenities be provided
within the project for the new residents.
Gene Peterson expressed concern about the storm sewer plans, asking f
if the water would be directed toward the•Round Lake basin. He
•
stated that the capacity of Round Lake was already at its peak.
Staff responded that the plans indicated no water would be directed
toward Round Lake.
Don Uhden, 7530 Atherton, stated that he was concerned that the
small pond into which run-off would be directed would not be allowed
to overflow and flood the existing 'single family lots. Staff stated
that this was not the case according to the proposed design.
Gene Wolper, 18735 Partridge Circle, stated that he was concerned ?
about the alignment of Dell Road. He asked if it would cross the
tracks. Staff responded that it would.
Acting Chairman Torjesen asked Staff to respond to the questions of
the audience. .
Regarding the density transfer, Staff explained that, in the past,
the City had allowed transfer of density from a flood plain area,
but not from open water.
Regarding an adequate amount of public water, Staff responded that
there were adequate public utilities available to the site. As to
water, it was pointed out that it would be better to have a looped
system in this area, particularly during summer months of high water
usage. This would be part of the overall plan for this area as it
developed.
Regarding preservation of the trees, Staff stated that the City
required the preservation or replacement of all significant trees.
The developer would be required to protect the trees during
construction, as well.
Regarding a construction traffic temporary roadway, Staff responded
that there would be no difficulty with such a roadway, and that
.:' ..
•
Planning Commission Minutes 4 October 24, 1983
perhaps it could access the site from Highway #5.
Regarding run-off, or storm drainage, overflowing onto the existing •
single family lots, Staff responded that the developer was actually
improving this situation by the proposed installation of another
overflow valve at a lower elevation.
Regarding Dell Road alignment and construction timing, Staff stated
that the most cost-effective location for the road would be on the
Chanhassen/Eden Prairie border, which would allow for sharing of the •
costs between both cities, and allow both cities to benefit from its
location. Alignment of Dell Road through the Crescent Ridge project
alone would prevent the cost sharing to take place and would
potentially locate the road in an area of bad soils along the flood
• plain.area.
Acting Chairman Torjesen asked if any more specific information was
known about Dell Road at this time. Staff responded that the road •
would extend across the railroad tracks and be directed northerly to
an intersection with Highway 101. •
. Marhula questioned the fact that the underlying zoning for a portion
•
of the property was Industrial. He asked if it would not be wise • •
for the City to rezone this property back to Rural at this time to
•
prevent the possibility of someone coming in and requesting an
industrial use in an area now planned for residential. As long as
the Industrial zoning was in place, it would be possible for someone
to make a proposal for industrial purposes.
Marhula expressed concern for the lack of architectural information
for the property. Staff stated that Commission would be able to
review the matter in more detail at a future meeting.

TO: Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Service
DATE: October 27, 1983
SUBJECT: Supplementary Staff Report to the October 21, 1983 Planning Staff ,/
Report on Crescent Ridge
BACKGROUND
This request is for a Comprehensive Guide Plan change from industrial to medium
density residential for approximately 20 acres, PUD Concept approval on 152.4 acres;
PUD district review and zoning for 26.6 acres from Rural and R1-22 to R1-13.5;
rezoning 20 acres from Industrial General and Rural to R1-6.5; and preliminary
platting of 27.5 acres for large lot residential and 20 acres for 118 units for
multiple residential.
. Of the 152.4 acres approximately 60 acres, in the center of the site, is proposed
to be dedicated to the City for open space. The majority of this 60 acres is a
marsh area.
NATURAL RESOURCES :;"
The most significant natural resources on this 152 acres include the marsh and the
wooded area located in the northeast portion of this site. The marsh is proposed
to be dedicated to the City for open space. Much of the wooded area will remain as
a natural barrier between the multi-family housing portion of the site and the single
family development. Several multi-family buildings will be developed in the center
of the wooded area. A tree inventory has been provided. The woods contain mostly
oak and elm, and nine oak trees 12" in diameter or greater will be lost within the
four unit building area.
Construction limits for the townhouse area within the woods must be fenced during the
construction in order to protect the balance of the woods from grading.
TRAILS ,
Existing proposal depicts a sidewalk along the south side of Lorence Way and an 8'
bituminous path around the marsh connecting to the path along Dell Road to the west
and within a 25' wide pathway area that will connect this open space area with Round
Lake Park to the east.
The Community Services Staff recommend a connection from the sidewalk adjacent to
Lorence Way via a 5' concrete sidewalk to the 8' bituminous path around the marsh
and a 5' concrete sidewalk along the north side of Evener Way from Lorence Way to the
eastern property line. .
The City did not require a sidewalk on the portion of Evener Way west of Dames Way;
however, staff recommends that section of sidewalk he constructed at the same time
to complete the connection to (lames Way. This will provide the most direct pedestrian
path to the existing sidewalk on (lames Way and to the high school.
21)`)i•)
•
Community Services Staff also recommend an 8' bituminous path on the north side
of highway 5 from Dell Road to the eastern boundary of this site. The pathway
along the southern portion of the marsh can serve as an appropriate 600' link in •
the Highway 5 trail (the City presently has an 8' asphalt trail along the north
•
side of Highway 5 from County Road 4 west to Heritage Road. The connection from
Heritage (toad to the eastern boundary of this site should be made at the same time
the trail around the marsh is completed.)
PARK AND RECREATION FACILITIES
The neighborhood park that serves this area is Hidden Ponds Park located approxi-
mately one-third of a mile to the northwest. The west edge of Round Lake Community
• Park is located approximately 1300' from the cast edge of this development and also
assists in serving recreational needs for this development proposal. (The active
area of Round Lake Park is approximately 3/4 of a mile from this development.)
City ordinances also provide for the requirement of mini parks to serve concentrated •
populations that are not in close proximity to a neighborhood park. Mini parks are
generally provided to serve the elderly and the young in their immediate neighbor-
hoods when a neighborhood park is not within approximately a quarter of a mile, or if
• heavily travelled roads must be crossed to reach those neighborhood facilities. In
the case of Crescent Ridge, there will be a total of 322 residential units on this
152.4 acre site, of which 272 units arc multiple. The developer has provided tennis
courts on the west side of the marsh adjacent to the trail system to provide some
recreational amenities within this development; however, there is no provision for
amenities for young children, and facilities located at Round Lake Park and Hidden
Ponds are located an excessive distance for young children.
Community Services Staff would recommend that the developer construct a totlot facility
in the northeast portion of the site. Staff would recommend the structure be located
between lots 29 and 34 on the PUD Concept Plan map, and preferably in the open space
area that is surrounded on three sides by woods. The structure should then be con-
nected to Evener Way through the woods via a 5' concrete sidewalk. This structure
should be constructed with phase I multiple, and should be owned and maintained by
the multiple family project homeowners association.
The location of this structure provides safe access from all of the multiple units
via either the 8' asphalt bikeway or the sidewalk proposed along Lorence Way and
Evener Way. This location would also provide visual screening from the adjacent
residential units and would be located far enough from any residential units to
minimize possible problems with noise.
RECOMMENDATION
The Community Services Staff recommends approval of Crescent Ridge as per the October
21 Planning Staff Report subject to the following additional conditions:
12. The 5' concrete sidewalk be extended from Lorence Way to the 8' asphalt
sidewalk within the first phase multiple area.
13. A 5' concrete sidewalk be constructed along the north side of Evener
Way from Lorence Way to the eastern property line.
14. An 8' asphalt hikeway/bikeway he constructed along the north side of
Highway 5 within each phase. The approximate 600' stretch of 8' bitumi-
nous pathway around the southern portion of the marsh may be used as the
•
section of trail adjacent to Highway 5 in this area.
T
-3-
74. A totlot structure that meets City standards be developed in the north-
east portion of the site, generally between lots 29 and 34, as depicted
on the PUD Concept Plan dated October 3, 1983. Access to this totlot
structure from Evener Way will be made via a 5' concrete sidewalk from
the location of the structure to Evener Way. This totlot to be owned
and maintained by the phase I multiple homeowners association.

Gui!1/2 Plan Chanr.e
•
The developer is requesting a Comprehensive Guide Plan change in the northwest
corner of the property from Industrial to Medium Density Residential. This request
is a reduction from the original request for Guide Plan change on the majority of
the property, for which the Planning Commission recommended denial. The request has
been revised from 396 units total on the site to 322 units total on the site.
The area adjacent to the single family lots on the east portion of the parcel has
been revised from a multiple area to an area of 50 large single family lots. The
area in the northern center of the parcel has been altered from 10-14 unit buildings
to a range of buildings 4-8 units in size. The western portion of the site will
contain the highest density and largest buildings adjacent to Dell Road. Therefore,
the overall plan has changed to include a gradual 'tran9ition from the Low Density
Residential area on the east to a mixture of Medium Density Residential small
multiple buildings in the center to approximately 6.5 units per acre and larger
buildings on the western portion of the site. Industrial is proposed for the 30
acres along the Highway 5 frontage, but is separate from the single family area to
the east by a large flood plain area and a distance of approximately 600 feet.
These general changes in the plan are in conformance with suggestions made by the
Staff and Planning Commission during the review of the first proposal.
Planned Unit Development Concept
The overall concept of the development is a mixture of residential uses, open space,
and industrial. Approximately 60 acres in the center of the site are retained as
1
•F
1,
Crescent Ridge Staff Report 2 October 21, 1983
oi,en space. The industrial along Highway #5 would be requested for rezoning when a
specific use is available. This area is intended as light industrial and would be
an ideal location for a corporate industrial or high tech user. 4
The transition between the single family area and the multiple area is made at the
woods, which occurs in the northern center of the parcel. This woods is a mixture
of oak and elm. The developer has revised his request to utilize six four-unit
buildings within the woods, retaining much of the woods as a buffer between units.
Transition to the multiple is also made in the road network by providing "T"
connections between Evener Way and Lorence Way, thereby diverting much traffic to
the southwest to future Dell Road and to the northeast via Lorence Way.
The overall PUD provides for a jogging trail around the periphery of the marsh area
to be constructed with each phase. Two tennis courts are illustrated in the Phase :I.::'
II multiple area toward Dell Road. No recreational amenities are provided for Phase
I multiple. "
Phasing and transportation access for the entire Planned Unit Development must go
hand in hand in order to assure the smallest possible impact on existing residential
neighborhoods. Phase I, multiple area, could take access from the north through the
proposed Apple Groves subdivision, which will extend Lorence Way to its southern
property line, if the road is available in time for construction of this property.
The City, D. C. C. Development, and Northwest Properties (Apple Groves) should work
together to coordinate the construction of Lorence Way in order to provide access
or this project in a timely fashion. If access can be provided initially via
Lorence Way, Evener Way may be constructed with a knock-down barrier at the boundary
between the proposed single family and proposed multiple in this project to be
removed at the time of the connection of Lorence Way on westerly to future Dell
Road. Dell Road would have to be in place down to Highway #5 before the knock-down
•
barrier in Evener Way would be removed. This would assure that construction traffic
would not come through the Heritage Way neighborhood and that a road system would be •`•
?`'
in place for the majority of the multiple traffic to access down Highway #5 without
coming through the existing neighborhoods. In the event Lorence Way were not ready
in time for construction of this project, Evener Way could be utilized until access
from Lorence Way was available.
Zoning
The developer is requesting zoning from Rural and R1-22 to R1-13.5 for 26.6 acres
lying along the project's eastern boundary, which would be the large lot single 4;'
family area. The proponent intends to develop 12 lots of single family residential
•
around the Evener Way extension with the first phase of the project. The balance of
the single family lots would be developed at a future time.
The proponent is requesting rezoning from Rural and I-General to RM-6.5 for 20 acres
to accommodate 118 multiple units in the center northern portion of the property. (
The developer is utilizing a density transfer from the open space area in order to .
be in conformance with the Comprehensive Guide Plan for this area.
;urroundinn Land Use
The land uses surrounding the proposed multiple area would be single family lots to
the east, cluster homes and the railroad tracks to the north, proposed higher
density multiple to the west, and industrial and open space to the south.

Crescent Ridge Staff Report 3 October 21, 1983
Existing Site •
'The multiple family site is a south-facing sloped site, which is part of a larger
bawl-shaped area surrounding the 60-acre lowland area on the parcel. The topography
rises from approximately 880 feet to 926..feet at a high point. A wooded area
dominates the eastern third of the multiple parcel and helps provide a natural
transition to the proposed single family to the east. The woods consists of oak and
elm, and the developer has provided a tree inventory of all trees over 12 inches in
diameter on the site. The development will require the removal of approximately 9
oak trees over 12 inches in diameter within the four-unit building area. •
Construction limits for the townhouse area within the woods must be fenced during
construction in order to proctect the balance of the woods from indiscriminate
grading and construction.
•
Access
The developer has provided a traffic analysis for the entire development. The first
phase, containing 118 units, would generate approximately 840 Average Daily Trips
with a peak hour of 84 trips. If Evener Way were constructed with a knock-down
barrier, the number of trips exiting through the Heritage Hills area would be
minimal. The eastern grouping of townhouse units occuring on the eastern half of
the multiple site takes its access from Lorence Way from a single private drive.
Because of the very tight site plan, an additional way out should be provided for
this area. The potential exists for this secondary access to be approximately an 80
foot long connection from the northeastern most townhouse unit to the east-west
section of Evener Way.
The area of townhouses occurring on the west half of the multiple site, which is {s'
made up of'four-, six-, and eight-unit buildings must be planned so that it can loop
to the Phase II multiple area so as not to leave a permanent private dead-end.
Lorence Way through this multiple area will be the primary road serving the multiple i"'
units and is planned within a 60 foot wide right-of-way with a 32 foot wide street
which includes a five-foot wide sidewalk along its southern side. This sidewalk
will connect up through the Apple Groves cluster homes area over along Lorence Way
to Names Way, which will connect over to the high school and Round Lake Park area.
Drainage and Utilities
•
Storm water drainage for the entire site will flow to the south into the marsh area.
No drainage will flow off the site to the north, east, or west. The small pond,
which is elevated some 30 feet from the flood plain area. and which occurs in the
northeast corner of the property, currently has a natural overflow elevation of 904.
The lowest basement floor elevation of the properties to the east is 905.5. The
developer is providing an additional overflow outlet within the storm sewer system
at 902. This will provide an additional cushion of safety from any upland urban
flooding which may have possibly occurred prior to this development.
Sewer and water for the project will come from the east along Evener Way. The
entire first phase of the project will be able to be served by gravity. The
development further toward the west will either have to wait for trunk sewer
extension up from the southeast or pump sewage through a lift station to the east on
a temporary basis. There is adequate water in the area to serve the site. However,
Crescent Ridge Staff Report 4 October 21, 1983
for long term completion of the City water system in this area, it will be necessary
to loop an additional water main up through this project to the water tower
-occurring to the northwest. This looping helps equalize water pressure for the
entire neighborhood and makes it easier for the City to fill the water tower in the
summer time during peak water usage. Without the water looping, it is necessary to
manage the water distribution in this area during peak summer flows differently.
The extension of this water main would occur through the industrial area, and could
occur as rapidly as the developer is ready for industrial development. •
Architecture
The developer has provided one building elevation of each of the unit types (four,
six, and eight). The developer has indicated that he will be providing two
•
different building elevations for each unit type, but has not submitted them. The
drawings that the developer has submitted do not correspond in floor plan footprint
with the footprints depicted on the enlarged site plan for the multiple units. The
enlarged site plan indicates that the units are jogged quite substantially, and the
floor plan illustrates very little building relief across the backs of the six- and
eight-unit buildings. The six- and eight-unit buildings have a rather massive
appearance and should be studied further in order to accommodate the same type of
footprint as illustrated on the site plan. In addition, the developer should submit
two building elevations on each building type. Brick should be incorporated along
each of the building elevations to help provide variety and durability • and add to
the appearance of the buildings.
Parks
•
The first phase does not include any provision for private recreational space. The
project is. served by an existing Hidden Ponds neighborhood park, which occurs
approximately one-third mile to the northwest of the project, and Prairie View
elementary school park, which occurs three-quarters of a mile to the north, and
Round Lake Community park, which occurs approximately three-quarters of a mile to
the east. However, the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission should
evaluate the necessity for additional recreational amenities on the overall site and
on the initial first phase multiple site.
The internal looped trail system would be constructed in pieces as each phase is
developed. The area below the low side of the trail edge would be dedicated to the
public as open space.
RECOM-:ENDATIONS ,
The Planning Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Guide Plan change and
Planned Unit Development Concept. The Planning Staff recommends approval of the
Planned Unit Development District Review and Zoning from Rural and R1-22 to R1-13.5
and Zoning from I-General and Rural to RM-6.5 with side yard setback variances, and
Preliminary Plat approval subject to the following:
1. The site plan for the townhouse area in Phase I should be revised to loop
the private road on north to Evener Way and provide a knock-down barrier at
the boundary between the multiple area and the single family area on Evener
Way. The developer should also revise the multiple site plan to assure that
•
the free-standing parking spaces all have free access and are all at least
20 feet in depth. The developer is providing only single car garages for
Crescent Ridge Staff Report 5 October 21, 1983
• each unit and one additional free-standing space per unit is required. The
developer must also provide for the looping of the western area of the first
phase to the future multiple area in Phase II. . ;` "
2. Prior to the City Council review, the developer must submit additional
elevations of each unit type so that the City may review no less than two
different building elevations for each of the four-, six-, and eight-unit
buildings. The developer should include the use of a significant portion of
each building elevation as brick to add to the detail and enhance the
appearance of the buildings.
3. Prior to building permit issuance in the multiple area, the developer must
submit a specific landscaping plan which provides buffering of the free-
standing parking areas from the approach access roads. '
4. The developer must fence all construction limits within the wooded area in
. order to protect trees. Trees removed outside of the construction area must
be replaced by the developer caliper inch per caliper inch.
5, Prior to Council review, the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources
Commission will review the necessity for additional recreational amenities
within this development.
6. The City, the developer, and the developer to the north for Apple Groves, •
must work to coordinate the construction of Lorence Way to provide access to
this site prior.to the construction of Dell Road. Development of any phase
further west of Phase I other than the Industrial area must be done in
conjunction with the construction of Dell Road down to Highway #5 and the ""
•
extension of Lorence Way to serve the additional phases of the project.
7. Specific 'review of the multiple Phase II of this project is necessary.
Detailed plans must be submitted for the architecture and site plan for this
area as a part of any rezoning request. The Planning Commission and City
Council will evaluate Phase II based upon its own merits. The architecture
of the project buildings will be of primary concern.
8. Developer shall submit detailed information regarding sewer, water, storm '_
. sewer, and streets to the Engineering Department for review prior to Council
review.
9. The Cash Park Fee is applicable to the zoned portions of this property.
10. The proponent must receive approval from the Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed
District.
11. The Department of Natural Resources may require a permit for work within the ,' '
marsh area.

Dear Mr. Enger:
We are in receipt of the above referenced plat for our review in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes 505.02 and 505.03 Plats and Surveys. We find the plat •
acceptable for further development with consideration of the following comments:
— At the present time there are no plans to upgrade TH 5 in this area. However,
as development continues it is clear that improvements to the existing highway
will be needed to handle the increased traffic that is generated. Improve—
ments to the trunk highway may have to be included as a part of this develop—
ment to preserve the safe and efficient operation of the highway. The
development should be designed to allow as much flexibility as possible to
•
accommodate future needs.
— Present noise levels exceed State daytime standards for residential use. The '_
City and the developer should be aware that Mn/DOT will not provide any type
of noise abatement for new development adjacent to the existing highway.
We suggest every effort be made in design of the development to lessen the
•
impact this might have on the proposed development.
— Our District Land Surveyor, Mr. Keith Slater, is presently in the process
of platting the inplace highway right of way through this area. The
surveyor for this development should contact him so that common boundaries
can be established.
— When developing parcels directly adjacent to TH 5, care must be taken so
that additional right of way can he provided when needed.

Re: Crescent Ridge Development
Dear Mr. Enger:
The engineering advisors to the Board of Managers of the Riley-Purgatory
Creek Watershed District has reviewed the preliminary plans as submitted to
the District for the Crescent Ridge Development. The following policies and
criteria of the Watershed District are applicable for this project:
1. In accordance with Section E(2) of the District's Revised Rules
and Regulations, a grading and land alteration permit will be
required from the District for this project. Accompanying the
permit application, an erosion control plan outlining how
sediment is to be controlled both during and after construction
must be submitted to the District for review and approval.
2. A grading plan showing both existing and proposed contours must
be submitted to the District for review and approval.
3. Because of the size of the proposed development, the District
will require that grading operations be phased on the site. All
grading operations on initial stages of grading must be restored
prior to proceeding to latter phases of the development.
4. A detailed storm sewer plan must be submitted to the District
for review and approval.
The wetland area located on the site has been designated as
public waters by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
The District will require that stornrxater runoff from the
ultimately developed site by discharged into sedimentation
basins prior to reaching the public waters area.
jn, V.
•
Mr. Chris Enger
Page 2
September 14, 1983
•
5. If grading operations are proposed below the Natural Ordinary
Highwater Elevation, as determined by the MDNR, of the wetland
area, an MDNR Chapter 105 Work in Public Waters Permit will be
• required for these grading operations.
6. Because Mitchell Lake is a land-lock basin and the wetland area
on the site is connected to Mitchell Lake (water levels in •
both fluctuate together), the District will require that for
all structures, the basement floor elevations or point where
water could enter the structure must be set at a minimum of
2 feet above the surface overflow elevation for Mitchell
Lake, until an outlet is provided. The surface overflow
elevation for Mitchell Lake is 877.0.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this development at an early
date. If you have any questions regarding the District's comments, please
call us at 920-0655.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council •
THRU: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services
FROM: Stuart A. Pox, City Forester 'F
DATE: December 15, 1983
SUBJECT: Public Hearing for the Removal of Diseased Trees on Private
Property by Contract
. The staff has made several attempts to have the affected property owners remove
their Dutch elm diseased (DED) trees. To date the procedures have been:
1. Original notification - summer of 1983. Card lists the number of
trees marked, diameters and date trees are to be removed by - 20
days after notification,
2. Second notification letter sent to property owners October 13, 1983.
(copy attached)
3. Date set for public hearing November 1, 1983 Council meeting.
4. Public notification of property owners published in Eden Prairie
News December 7, 1983. Letter also sent to property owners informing
them of the December 20, 1983 public hearing.
A complete list of the affected property owners is attached and includes estimated
removal costs. These costs are based on $7 per diameter inch of tree which was the •
average bid price for the summer of 1983. Some of the property owners on the list
have contacted the staff regarding a target date for the removal of their trees and
the staff will continue to work with these property owners. However, many have
not complied with City Code Section 9.62.
In past years every attempt to permit homeowners time, up to April 1, for removing
their trees has been exercised, however, this caused several problems. As outlined
in an earlier memo, time requirements, snow and yard conditions combined with •
road restrictions has delayed the removal of trees by bid until late May.
The staff recommends the Council require abatement of the trees on the attached list
by Resolution 83-298 with removal to begin after January 15, 1984.

Dear Landowner:
As you may recall, your property was inspected this past summer for evidence of Dutch •
Elm Disease and Oak Wilt. Shortly thereafter, you received a notice pursuant to
City Code, Section 9.62, Shade Tree Disease Control, to remove the diseased tree(s)
so detected not later that 20 days after receipt of said notice and to verify there-
after with the City that such removal had been accomplished.
To-date our records indicate that the diseased tree(s) on your property have not
been removed, and so we now urgently request that you make arrangement to complete
such removal not later than November 18, 1983. If removal is not completed by this
date, it will be necessary for us to recommend to the City Council that they order
the tree(s) to be removed pursuant to City Code, Section 9.62. The terms under this •
procedure are:
1. A public hearing will be conducted by the Council and the removal will
•
be ordered.
2. The City will hire a tree removal contractor who will complete the
removal ane disposal of the marked tree(s) on your property.
3. All costs thereof will be billed to you and payable to the City within
30 days.
4. If payment is not received, the total amount plus interest is added as
a special assessment on the following year's tax statement for your
property.
Whenever possible, we wish to avoid this cumbersome process and so your full coopera-
tion by removing the tree(s) promptly will be most sincerely appreciated. Your
immediate attention to such removal will also help protect other trees in the community
which, as we know you will agree, add significantly to the property values and
natural beauty of Eden Prairie.
If you have any questions or if removal is already completed, please call my office,
at 937-2262, ext. 48.
Thank you. .
Sincerely,
•

RESOLUTION RECITING A PROPOSAL FOR A
COMMERCIAL FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
GIVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO THE PROJECT
PURSUANT TO THE MINNESOTA
MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ACT
AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION
FOR APPROVAL OF SAID PROJECT TO THE
ENERGY, PLANNING AND
DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF
MINNESOTA AND AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION OF
NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND MATERIALS
IN CONNECTION WITH SAID PROJECT
(KINDER--CARE LEARNING CENTERS, INC. PROJECT)
WHEREAS,
(a) The purpose of Chapter 474, Minnesota
Statutes, known as the Minnesota Municipal Industrial
Development Act (the "Act") as found and determined by the
legislature is to promote the welfare of the state by the
active attraction and encouragement and development of economi-
cally sound industry and commerce to prevent so far as possible
the emergence of blighted and marginal lands and areas of
chronic unemployment;
(b) Factors necessitating the active promotion
and development of economically sound industry and commerce are
t the increasing concentration of population in the metropolitan
areas and the rapidly rising increase in the amount and cost of
governmental services required to meet the needs of the
increased population and the need for development of land use
which will provide an adequate tax base to finance these
increased costs and access to employment opportunities for such
population;
(c) The City Council of the City of Eden
Prairie (the "City") has received from Kinder-Care Learning
Centers, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the
State of Delaware (the "Company") a proposal that the City
undertake to finance a Project hereinafter described, through
the issuance of revenue bonds in the form of bonds or a single
debt instrument ("the Bonds") pursuant to the Act; •
(d) The City desires to facilitate the selec-
tive development of the community, retain and improve the tax
base and help to provide the range of services and employment •
opportunities required by the population; and the Project will
•
assist the City in achieving those objectives. The Project
will help to increase assessed valuation of the City and help
maintain a positive relationship between assessed valuation and
debt and enhance the image and reputation of the community;
(e) The Project to be financed by the Revenue
Bonds is a child learning and day-care facility to be located
on part of Lot 1, Block 1, Eden Glen in Eden Prairie and
consists of the acquisition of land and the construction of
buildings and improvements thereon and the installation of
equipment therein, and will result in the employment of
additional persons to work within the new facilities;
(f) The City has been advised by representa-
tives of Company that conventional, commercial financing to pay
the capital cost of the Project is available only on a limited
basis and at such high costs of borrowing that the economic
feasibility of operating the Project would be significantly
reduced, but Company has also advised this Council that with
the aid of municipal financing, and its resulting low borrowing
cost, the Project is economically more feasible;
(g)
Council-adopte&-o.k41,ovcmb ;-4-983, a public hearing on the
Project was held on , 1983, after notice was
published, and materials-made available for public inspection
at the City Hall, all as required by Minnesota Statutes,
Section 474.01, Subdivision 7b at which public hearing all
those appearing who so desired to speak were heard;
(h) No public official of the City has either a
direct or indirect financial interest in the Project nor will •
any public official either directly or indirectly benefit
financially from the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, as follows:
1. The Council hereby gives preliminary approval to the
proposal of Company that the City undertake the Project
pursuant to the Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development Act
(Chapter 474, Minnesota Statutes), consisting of the acqui •
-
sition, construction and equipping of facilities within the
City pursuant to Company's specifications suitable for the
operations described above and to a revenue agreement between •
the City and Company upon such terms and conditions with
provisions for revision from time to time as necessary, so as
to produce income and revenues sufficient to pay, when due, the
principal of and interest on the Bonds in the total principal
•
•
amount of approximately $465,000 to be issued pursuant to the
Act to finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of
the Project; and said agreement may also provide for the entire
interest of Company therein to be mortgaged to the purchaser of
the Bonds; and the City hereby undertakes preliminarily to
issue its Bonds in accordance with such terms and conditions;
2. On the basis of information available to this Council
it appears, and the Council hereby finds, that the Project
constitutes properties, real and personal, used or useful in
connection with one or more revenue producing enterprises
engaged in any business within the meaning of Subdivision la of
Section 474.02 of the Act; that the Project furthers the
purposes stated in Section 474.01, Minnesota Statutes; that the
availability of the financing under the Act and willingness of
the City to furnish such financing will be a substantial
inducement to Company to undertake the Project, and that the •
effect of the Project, if undertaken, will be to encourage the •
development of economically sound industry and commerce, to
assist in the prevention of the emergence of blighted and
marginal land, to help prevent chronic unemployment, to help
the City retain and improve the tax base and to provide the
range of service and employment opportunities required by the
population, to help prevent the movement of talented and
educated persons out of the state and to areas within the State
where their services may not be as effectively used, to promote
more intensive development and use of land within the City and
eventually to increase the tax base of the community;
3. The Project is hereby given preliminary approval by
the City subject to the approval of the Project by the
Minnesota Energy and Economic Development Authority or such
other state officer having authority to grant approval (the
"Authority"), and subject to final approval by this Council,
Company, and the purchaser of the Bonds as to the ultimate
details of the financing of the Project;
4. In accordance with Subdivision 7a of Section 474.01
Minnesota Statutes, the Mayor of the City is hereby authorized
and directed to submit the proposal for the Project to the
Authority requesting its approval, and other officers,
employees and agents of the City are hereby authorized to
provide the Authority with such preliminary information as it
may require;
•
621
I
5. Company has agreed and it is hereby determined that
any and all costs incurred by the City in connection with the
financing of the Project Whether or not the Project is carried
to completion and whether or not approved by the Authority will
be paid by Company; .
6. Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association, acting as
bond counsel, and First Corporate Services, Inc. are authorized
to assist in the preparation and review of necessary documents
relating to the Project, to consult with the City Attorney,
Company and the purchaser of the Bonds as to the maturities,
interest rates and other terms and provisions of the Bonds and
as to the covenants and other provisions of the necessary
documents and to submit such documents to the Council for final
approval;
7. Nothing in this resolution or in the documents pre-
pared pursuant hereto shall authorize the expenditure of any
municipal funds on the Project other than the revenues derived
from the Project or otherwise granted to the City for this
purpose. The Bonds shall not constitute a charge, lien or
encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property or funds of
the City except the revenue and proceeds pledged to the payment
thereof, nor shall the City be subject to any liability
thereon. The holder of the Bonds shall never have the right to
compel any exercise of the taxing power of the City to pay the
outstanding principal on the Bonds or the interest thereon, or
to enforce payment thereof against any property of the City.
The Bonds shall recite in substance that the Bonds including
interest thereon, are payable solely from the revenue and
proceeds pledged to the payment thereof. The Bonds shall not
• constitute a debt of the City within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory limitation;
8. In anticipation of the approval by the Authority and
the issuance of the Bonds to finance all or a portion of the
Project, and in order that completion of the Project will not
be unduly delayed when approved, Company is hereby authorized
to make such expenditures and advances toward payment of that
portion of the costs of the Project as Company considers
necessary, including the use of interim, short-term financing,
subject to reimbursement from the proceeds of the Bonds if and
when delivered but otherwise without liability on the part of •
the City;
9. It is further found, determined and declared that it
is the present intent of the City Council to authorize the "
issuance and sale of the Bonds but the City reserves the right
in its sole discretion to withdraw this preliminary approval of
•
261E
the Project if at any time the City Council determines that the
public interest and the purposes of the Act will not be served
by the Project; and
10. This resolution is subject to the condition that
within twelve months from the date of its adoption the City and
the Company shall have agreed to mutually acceptable terms and
conditions of a revenue agreement, the Bonds and of the other •
instruments and proceedings relating to the Bonds, and their
issuance and sale. If such agreement does not take place
within that time or any extension thereof and the Bonds are not
sold within such time, this resolution shall expire and be of
no further force or effect.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie,

MEMOIMIN
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services .
DATE: December 15, 1983

SUBJECT: Proposal for Surface Management Ordinance for Byrant Lake
Attached is a November 15, 1983 memo to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission regarding a proposed surface management ordinance for Bryant Lake. This
memo gives the rationale for the proposed restrictions on the lake:
Limit the speed of water craft to 15 miles per hour from 12 o'clock Noon •
until 6 P.M. on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from Memorial Day through
Labor Day.
Also, attached to this memo is a copy of the approved minutes of the November 21
meeting of the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission when this item was •
discussed. The Council will note that the Commission disagreed with the staff
recommendation and recommended the Council not adopt a surface use ordinance, but
instead recommended the following:
1. Request the Hennepin County Park Reserve District enforce only allowing
20 cars with boat trailers on the park site.
2. Buoy off the northern tip and southern end of the lake as no wake zones.
3. Close off anauthorized access points on to Bryant Lake (at least investigate
•
the Thelma Haynes property access).
This recommendation was approved on a 3-1 vote, Baker voting no.
The Community Services Staff and the Park Reserve District Staff continue to support •
the proposed ordinance recognizing that the Sheriffs Water Patrol will only have
limited patrolling time at Bryant Lake and that it would be difficult for our Public
•
Safety Department to enforce this ordinance without a boat.
Community Services Staff and the Park Reserve District Staff feel that allowing 20
boats on the lake with the potential for additional 40 boats from property owners
does not solve the concern for safety on Bryant Lake. With the sire and configuration
of Bryant Lake one jet boat could make it unsafe for any other boats on the lake;
or 3-4 boats pulling water skiers could also present a dangerous situation on that
lake. •
•
Staff would point out that many hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent on
the acquisition of a regional park facility. The major natural resource and reason
for locating this regional park here is the lake. The lake is what attracts users
to Bryant Lake Park. This is a regional facility that should offer a wide variety
of opportunities for recreational use of this regional resource including fishing,
sailing, canoeing, swimming, sail boarding, and water skiing during certain times of
the day. By reducing the speed limit during the afternoon hours the lake is open
to a wide variety of users. This also allows water skiing after 6 P.M. (on weekends
and holidays) which is usually after the wind has gone down and offers the best time
for skiing anyway. There would be no restrictions on water skiing at anytime during
the week all summer long.
Staff requests authorization to draft an ordinance that would restrict speed limits
to 15 miles per hour on Bryant Lake from 12 Noon until 6 P.M. on Saturdays, Sundays
and holidays from Memorial Day thru Labor Day.

TO: Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services
DATE: November 15, 1983
SUBJECT: Proposal for Surface Management Ordinance for Bryant Lake
On May 13, 1983, the City of Eden Prairie received a letter from Hennepin County
Park Reserve District informing the City that the Park Reserve District Board
removed the 20 horsepower limitation on Bryant Lake as it had applied to the boat
launch facility at Bryant Lake Regional Park.
On May 17, the Eden Prairie City Council directed staff to work with the staff from
the Park Reserve Distrct to develop recommendations for a water surface use manage-
ment ordinance for Bryant Lake.
•
On June 20, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission discussed possible
alternatives for a surface management ordinance. However, after a lengthy discussion
with residents from the Bryant Lake area, the Commission continued this item until
Fall of 1983 and requested City staff to work with Park Reserve District staff on
monitoring the number and types of boats that used Bryant Lake during the summer of
1983.
•
Attached to this memo is the June 14, 1983 memo from staff that recommended limiting
the size of the motors to 25 horsepower on Sundays from Memorial Day through Labor
Day. That memorandum indicates that the Department of Natural Resources prefers to
regulate speed rather than horsepower, but agrees that regulating horsepower is easier.
Also, attached to this memo is a November 7 letter from staff to the Bryant Lake Area
Residents and a copy of the survey completed by the Park Reserve District staff during
the summer of 1983.
After considering the discussions between the Commission and residents at the June 20
. meeting, and reviewing the watercraft activities survey completed in the summer of 1983,
staff have discussed possible alternative ordinances with representatives from the
Department of Natural Resources and the Sheriff's Water Patrol. The problem at Bryant
Lake seems to be the number of runabouts between noon and 6 p.m. on weekends and •
holidays; however, these numbers would not be a problem if the speed on all these boats
was controlled; therefore, speed is the problem.
In an attempt to allow a variety of users on the lake, and therefore more people to
enjoy the water surface on weekends and holidays, and to eliminate the dangerous situa-
tion of many high speed boats in a confined area; the Community Services Staff would •
recommend that the City consider adopting a water surface use management ordinance
that would provide the following restrictions on Bryant Lake:
. Limit the speed of water craft to 15 miles per hour from 12 o'clock Noon
until 6 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from Memorial day thru
1 Labor Day.
t

•
-2-
Te Community Services Staff recognize the difficulty in controlling this ordinance
{ and have discussed enforcement of this ordinance with the Hennepin County Water Patrol
and our own Public Safety Department.
Licutenan^ Larry Peterson, Hennepin County Water Patrol, has indicated that the
County Water Patrol would patrol Bryant Lake as much as possible, especially during
the first part of the summer and would spot check it on a regular basis throughout
the summer. Eden Prairie's Public Safety Department could also set radar on the shore
occasionally to monitor boat speeds if this becomes necessary.
The City would request the Park Reserve District to install a sign at the launch inform-
ing everyone of the regulation. The City would also send letters to all property owners
that have access to the lake informing them of the regulations if this ordinance is
passed.
If the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommend approval of this sur-
face management ordinance, the recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council. If
Council then approves the ordinance, it must be forwarded to the Department of Natural
Resources for review by their Ordinance Review Task Force prior to final approval by
the Commissioner of Natural Resources.

Proposed Surface Management Ordinance for Bryant Lake
Lambert reviewed the Staff Memo of November 1S, 1983, which refers to the
Council's direction that Staff cork with the Hennepin County Park Reserve
District (ITCPRD) to develop recomnendations for a water surface use
management ordinance for Bryant Lake.
At the request of this Coimnission, Staff, together with the IICPRD monitored
the number and types of boats that used Bryant Lake during the sunnier of
1983 (results attached to November 15th memo).
.(IO
Minutes - Parks, Recreation F, approved
Natural Resources Connission -2- November 21, 1983
Based on discussions with the HCPRD and the Department of Natural Resources,
Staff recommends that the City consider a water surface use management
ordinance that would provide the following restrictions on Bryant Lake:
Limit the speed of water craft to 15 miles per hour from
12:00 noon until 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and
holidays from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Greg Mack was present on behalf of the 11CPRD.
Baker asked if the proposed ordinance is consistent with other DNR ordinances.
Lmnbert said yes and they support this recommendation. Mack added that the
key in enforcing the ordinance will be assistance from the County water patrol--
11CPRD cannot enforce laws governing water craft on the lake.
Resident Jim Perkins, 7012 Willow Creek Road, spoke several times and feels
that there should not be a law to control the lake useage as that leads to
enforcement and he feels the proposed ordinance would be almost impossible
to enforce (one reason being boats are not required to have speedometers).
He pointed out that safety is of prime importance. In view of that, the •
fact that there are too many boats on the lake is more important than the
speed they travel. Limit the nunber of boats coming through the Park boat
launch (by limited parking). Twenty-five boats as proposed by HCPRD is too
many--10-12 is more reasonable. He also referred to the erosion problem
caused by so many boats as they turn around on the south end of the lake.
He feels the neighbors have never suggested limiting the use of the lake,
only that fewer boats be allowed on the lake. The problem will work itself
out if people can't launch their boats because parking is filled, eventually
they will loose interest in coming. He feels strongly that if a 15 mph limit
is enforced, there will be less use of the lake and eventually the residents w'
will come into control again which is just what the City and County don't
want.
Don Sorenson, Willow Creek Road, also feels 15-20+ boats is too many for
Bryant Lake. The topography of the lake should be considered--long and
narrow and very shallow at either end. Sorenson also noted that boats are
being launched at Thelma Haynes property which is adding to the nunber of
boats on the lake. lie also pointed out that the main reason the park is
there isn't only the lake==it will be used no matter how many boats are
launched. He agrees the topography of the lake should be considered in
determining how many boats/acre--find out how much useable water there is
and then figure the acreage and number of boats allowable.
Resident Phil Parsons, Beach Road, said the residents on Bryant Lake have a
great deal invested in property and home expense. He feels the proposed
regulation will prohibit their heating activity on the lake during peak
srmeuer times which infringes on one of the main reasons they chose to live
there--boating. Since it appears from the survey that 2/3 of the boats on
the lake come through the park larurch, this is where the limitations should
be placed. If parking is limited, the overcrowding of boats on the lake
will diminish and safety can be restored. •

Resident Gedney Tuttle, Willow Creek Road, suggests the two extreme ends t'
of the lake which arc not conducive to good water skiing, should be closed 4
to s}:iiers. He mentioned there arc bays in Lake Minnetonka where closed
throttle and no skiing is permitted and it does not seem to be a problem.
Bryant Lake simply narrows down too much at both the north and south ends
for good turn around use and also the erosion problem created by turning
around at high speeds is greatest at those two points.
Resident Joe (larding, Willow Wood, said he has not had his speed boat on
the lake in 2 years because he feels the lake is not safe--too many boats.
He feels if the number of boats is limited there will be no problem or need
for an ordinance.
Lambert said he is not surprised by the residents comments. The property
owners do have a lot invested in their homes, etc. The fact is, however,
the lake and those waters must be available to everyone. The metro area has
invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in the park and has a right to
its use. Bryant Lake has become unsafe so controls are necessary. The
number of boats/acre (1/10 acres) is a minimum standard set by the DNR.
If the proposed controls are adopted more people can use the lake. He added
that he feels buoys to prevent skiing at either end of the lake is a good •
•
idea.
Mack said the present facility permits a maxima of 30 trailers in the parking •
area. However, the present facility is not very controllable due to •
inadequate layout, etc., and that is why improvement is necessary. He
•
added perhaps even 10 runabouts presents an unsafe situation, that is why
the horsepower regulation permits more activity on the lake but it will be •
safer in nature with reduced speed.
Schwartz asked when does the City lose DNR funding in terms of management
of the lake? Lambert and "tack said the DNR will not manage the lake as •
•
well in terms of stocking, etc., if below the minimum number of boats is •
allowed on the lake.
Jessen said the DNR is very concerned about non-discriminatory use of the
lake. In light of that,tTe City is trying to look for a reasonable solution •
to the management problem.
•
Baker said he feels it is a mistake to allow only 10-1S boats through the public
access, It is far more difficult to enforce the number of boats than •
the speed. Presently there are 2 uncontrollable accesses to the lake •
(Haynes property and billow Crock homeowners access) so by regulating
the number of boats at the park launch only, nothing is accomplished. He feels
the City should stick to the original proposal of regulating speed.
Lambert noted the discussion was supposed to focus on a lake surface management
ordinance ant instead it has been on the number of boats allowed on the
lake. They arc two different issues and should be handled separately.

Minutes - Parks, Recreation f, approved
Natural Resources Coianission -4- November 21, 1983
MOTION: Schwartz moved to recommend the Council not adopt a surface use
oidinuncc. Instead, 3 steps should be taken to address the safety and use
problems:
1. Request the UCPRD enforce only allowing 20 cars with boat trailers
on the park site.
2. Buoy off the northern tip and southern end of the lake as no-wake
zones.
3. Close off unauthorized access points onto Bryant Lake (at least
investigate the Hayes property access).
Breitenstein seconded the motion and it carried. Baker voted naye, the
others in favor.

DATE: December 9, 1983
SUBJECT: Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge/Recreation Area and
State Trail Comprehensive Plan
The City has received a copy of the draft comprehensive plan for the Minnesota Valley
National Wildlife Refuge/Recreation Area and State Trail. The plan was prepared by
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
The comprehensive plan is intended to provide the public, municipalities and interest
groups with an indication of the recreation development in resource management activi-
ties intended for the future. The plan summarizes past public involvement and manage-
ment commitments, and identifies the problems and concerns which will influence the •
natural and recreation potential of the valley. The comprehensive plan also recommends
corrective and preventative steps needed to resolve these issues and outlines the
responsibilities of governmental agencies and others to carry out a coordinated develop-
ment and management program which would provide the greatest amount of public u:-e and
protection of the wildlife and the natural and cultural resources of the Minnesota
Valley.
A copy of this 187 page document is located at the Community Services Department and
several copies are located at the library for public review.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources requests any comments on this plan be
•
submitted by January 1, 1984.
•
On February 2, 1981, Mr. John Tietz, representing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
gave a presentation to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission regarding 1.
the proposed plan for the Wildlife Refuge/Recreation Area. At that time, the Commis-
sion urged the City Council to support what was "concept C" as proposed by the refuge
planners and furthermore, to "limit and carefully manage development of snowmobile
trails in Eden Prairie, and that equestrian trails be included that would connect
Eden Prairie trails to the Minnesota River Valley Trail, and to support the expansion
of the refuge boundaries to include the bluff area as proposed by the refuge planners".
The Commission also supported the hunting plan that would limit hunting by permit".
On February 3, the Eden Prairie City Council considered the action taken by the Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and unanimously supported the same action.
The draft comprehensive plan has eliminated any snowmobile trails within the Upgrala
Unit (the Eden Prairie portion of the wildlife refuge) but does include equestrian
trails, as well as bicycle, hiking and cross country skiing. The only hunting that
will eventually he allowed in the Upgrala Unit will be for handicapped hunters and
for a hunter education facility that will provide facilities for interpretative and
educational programs for young hunters.
The only portion of the bluff area that is included in the wildlife refuge is south
and cast of 169, just north of Crass Lake.
1G��Y

The trail access points are at Indian Road and through the Highway 169 underpass, 3
which arc the two access points recommended by the City.
There is approximately 2,448 acres of land to be acquired by the Federal Government
for the National Wildlife Refuge within the City of Eden Prairie. An additional lel
acres of land within the Wildlife Recreation Arca is to be acquired by the City of
Eden Prairie. j.
A great deal of the plan provides objectives and performance standards that county
and municipalities are encouraged to adopt to preserve floodplains, wetlands, the
bluffs and upland areas within the Wildlife Refuge and Recreation Area.
Eden Prairie has always recognized the bluffs of the Minnesota River as a distinct
element of the Minnesota valley landscape and an essential part of the valley resource
as a whole. Eden Prairie recognizes that the bluffs arc composed almost entirely of
highly erodible, sandy soils which arc difficult to control, stabilize and revegetate
once disturbed .
•
The comprehensive plan points out that the bluffs provide a rich and varied environment
for a variety of plants and animals, as well as a refuge for wildlife particularly
during periods of high water. "The bluffs provide a transition and buffer between
the valley floodplain and the urbanized lands adjacent to the valley. The physical
nature of the bluffs and their established plant communities act to filter and absorb
many of the elements produced by the surrounding urban environment which would compete
with and possibily c'egrade the physical and social resources and values of the valley".
The comprehensive plan has established as an objective the following: "To maintain
the natural state of bluffs which are adjacent to wetland, wildlife or recreation
areas and susceptible to severe eroison". Performance standards: No uses or
physical encroachments on the river bluffs should be allowed which would, or have the
tendency to:
•
1. Increase the possibilities of soil erosion due to slope or soil type.
2. Decrease the natural diversity of the animal communities present, fragment •
wildlife habitat or create a community or habitat type which is physically
dominated by exotic species.
•
3. Disrupt traditional routes or areas used for local migration or refuge
during periods of flooding or other natural catastrophries of the valley
floor.
4. Be inconsistent with the objectives of encouraging land uses compatible
with the perpetuation of the natural land forms, vegetation, and the uses
of an area in relation to recreation, education, research, and aesthetics.
S. Increase the amount of storm water runoff to an amount that is greater than
what occurs naturally.
RECO?EMENDATIONS; Counties and municipalities should, if they have not:
•
1. Idenitify the Minnesota River bluffs in their comprehensive plans noting
areas of steep slopes (12i-13'), very steep slopes (greater than 18%) and
areas of moderate, high, an extremely high erosion potential and adopt
policies for their planning and management.
-g_
2. Encourage a setback from the bluff edge sufficient to reduce erosion
potential and promote aesthetics.
3. Require dedication of bluff lands for conservation purposes as a part
of regulating subdivision of land.
4. Encourage the use of earth tones in the construction and coloring of
bluff top structures.
5. Adopt a bluff management overlay ordinance to supplement existing
zoning ordinances and to effectuate the objective and performance
standards for protection of the river bluffs.
6. Investigate the possible use of transfer of development rights as a
compensation for landowners who own bluff property.
The plan also provides a lengthy list of objectives and planning and management
stategies to encourage public use and to provide a variety of recreational opportunities.
Attached is a copy of a chart showing the recreation opportunities proposed for the
Upgrala Unit and a copy of the map showing the Upgrala Unit development plan. I have
also attached a copy of a Appendix B, which describes a variety of land preservation
and protection techniques which might be used to protect the Minnesota River Valley
and the adjacent bluffs prior to the acquisition and development of the Wildlife
Refuge and Recreation Area. The City of Eden Prairie has already adopted a floodplain
ordinance, a shoreland management ordinance, and a steep slope ordinance. The Commission
and Council may want to consider some of the other measures discussed in Appendix B to
protect the bluffs and the floodplain.
The Community Services Staff recommend the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission and the City Council to support the comprehensive plan for the bluffs and
the floodplain.

Appendix 3 (,1,%==:�,
INT ROD UCT10N A variety of land preservation and protection techniques exist
which can be used in the lower Minnesota River Valley. The
techniques discussed vary in the d.gree to which they afford
protection to the resource nod range from indirect influence
on land use to direct control of some or all of the possible uses
for a given area.
•
The techniques discussed will focus on options and
opportunities for citizen and community involvement in
protecting the lower Minnesota River Valley. These
techniques can be used individually or in concert to create a
blanket or tapestry which affords comprehensive protection to
the valley resources. The reasons for employing a variety of
methods are to provide flexibility in the resource protection
process,save money,and allow selection of a method or
I methods most suitable for the protection objective at hand.
The protection methods discussed in this appendix have
advantages and disadvantages,most of which center on the
I purchase cost,acceptability to the landowner, the impact on
municipal taxes,operation and maintenance of the properties,
and adherence to preservation agreements over the long term.
In any case,continued citizen and government involvement is
needed to support the effort to protect the Minnesota Valley.
Citizens can become involved at any level of the valley
protection effort and by encouraging their city,regional, and
state representatives to do the same. Government can
a influence land use decisions and ensure the continued
existence of important resources by using three basic powers:
} taxation,regulation, and acquisition. The following table
summarizes and compares the various methods available for
protecting lower Minnesota River Valley lands.
1 TAXATIO N The method by which real property is taxed con delay the
•
pressure to develop property and provide incentives for
restoring or even donating important natural and cultural
1.1 resources. Property tax, federal estate tax, and state
inheritance tax can be impncted by the following methods to
create positive incentives which discourage development on --
1 lands which contain imlwrt;uat natural and cultural resources.
These tax incentives arc realized through prcferrentuai
assessments,deferred taxation,restrictive agreements,and
,1 other m ore specific incentives. lneentive.s for restoring or
1 donating resources arc also offered through deductions mid tax
shelter stcnm.jug from private donations of real property.

Preferential Preferential assessment reduces taxes by requiring
Asse:csment assessors to assess eligible land on the basis of some current
use value versus current market value. Three options for
preferential assessment can be used in the lower Minnesota
Valley.
1. MS 272.67 permits any local unit of government,except
1 those in Hennepin County,to divide its city into urban and
rural services areas. While only the local tax assessor has the
authority over the classification or reclassification of
J property, the community can establish a tax district which
would receive preferential assessment. Thus, property which
is rural in character and does not receive urban services can
be taxed at a rural rate.
2. Property owners who have wetlands or native prairie on
' their property may claim them exempt from taxation. In the
1 • case of native prairie,application for exemption mist be made
to the county assessor and the prairie area evaluated by the
Department of Natural Resources(MS 272.02).
1 Exemption of wetlands and native prairie from taxation does
not diminish any right of ownership or grant the public any
additional or greater right of access to those lands.
3.The wetlands and native prairie credit programs,authorized
by MS 273.1 15 and 273.116 respectively,provide an incentive
.1 for preserving these natural resources. As long as owners
preserve the wetland or native prairie, they are eligible to
receive a credit on the taxes paid on the remainder of their
property.
To qualify for the program,the property owner must initially
qualify for the exemptions outlined above and retain the
wetland or native prairie for the year during which credit is
received. As with the exemptions outlined above, the county
assessor shall be responsible for administering the tax credit
1 program.
Deferred Taxation Deferred taxation is similar to preferential assessment except
that a sanction is applied if land is converted to a non-eligible
use. The sanction often involves the repayment of some or all
of the taxes which have been saved prior to the conversion of
the land. One option for deferred taxation can be used in the
1 lower Minnesota Valley.
1.Green Acres Tax Option provides farmers a way to be taxed
1 at the agricultural value of their property(MS 273.11). The
county assessor oversees the program through which the tax
option is administered. Once the land is enrolled in the
program,spacial assessments associated with public capital
expenditures are c!cferred as long as the property qualifies for
Green Acres treatment. ?
163
Appendix B
Rcatrictivc A restrictive agreement includes both preferential
Agreement assessment and, in most eases,a sanction similar to those used
in deferred taxation. in addition,a restrictive agreement
requires the property owners to sign a contract in which they
agree to retain the land in eligible uses for a certain period of
time. At present only one option for restrictive agreements
can be used in the lower Minnesota Valley.
1.The Metropolitan Agricultural Preserves Act establishes a
policy and program for preserving agricultural lands in the
metropolitan area(MS 473). The program is rooted in the
local and regional comprehensive planning process outlined in
the Metropolitan Land Use Planning Act(MS 473.851).
Through the Agricultural Preserves Program,property owners
of land designated for long term agricultural use in a local •
comprehensive plan may apply to the local planning and zoning
authority for acceptance to the program. The program •
requires owners to enter a restrictive agreement which states
that the land will be kept in agricultural use for a minimum of
eight years. Once enrolled in the program,the land is taxed
according to its agricultural use and is exempt from the
political and economic factors which influence land use or are
detrimental to productive farm operations in the metropolitan
• area. Should it he determined that the agricultural preserve is
not longer desirable, either the landowner or the local
government can terminate the agreement and the preserve
•
expires eight years from the date of notification.
Other Tax Both state and federal tax laws can provide incentives to
Incentives private individuals and corporations to preserve,restore,or •
donate natural and cultural resources. These incentives are •
realized through the net cash return after taxes that occurs
through deductions and the tax shelter effect of donating real
property. At present, three incentives exist which have
application in the lower Minnesota Valley. •
1.The Federal Tax Reform Act of 1976(PL 94-455,See. 2124)
• provides two incentives for the rehabilitation of historic
buildings
• a.The first incentive allows the owner of a"certified
. historic structure to amortize the coat of a"certified
rehabilitation"in lieu of otherwise allowable depreciation
deductions for income tax purposes.
b.The second incentive allows the owner to take
accelerated depreciation,if the property in question
qualifies as a"substantially rehabilitated historic
property." A substantially rehabilitated historic property
is any certified Ii.;torie structure far which the cost of
certified rehab ilita tiro exceeds either35,000 or the
adjusted basis of the property,whichever is greater.
164 2 LG,
•
,, Appendix B
k
12.The Internal Revenue Code(Chapter 1701:3b)encourages
the making of charitable contributions by allowing an
individual a deduction against ordinary income equal(with
certain exceptions)to the value of the donation. Corporations
i can deduct the value of gifts of property worth up to 5 percent
of the company's net income before taxes.
1 Both individuals and corporations are able to spread the value
of their donation over five years following the gift. The result
is that a taxpayer's liability is reduced,possibly by a
considerable amount. This reduction in tax liability permits
it both individuals and corporations to express the maximum
possible generosity while making the cost of doing so as low as
possible.
3. In 1980 the U.S. Congress enacted PL 96-541 which permits
private landowi ers to obtain a federal tax deduction for the
value of development rights donated in easement for
conservation purposes(see discussion on acquisition of
1 development rights for an explanation of easements). The
legislation identifies four conservation purpose,any of which
?� . can be deducted
•
�] a.The preservation of land areas for outdoor recreation
or education
•
3 b.The protection of plant and animal habitats and
ecosystems
3 e.The preservation of open space
d.The preservation of historically important land areas or
1 certified historic structures.
REGULATION Regulation is the exercise of the local power to control the
use of land. The basis for this control is a concern for the
health,safety, and general welfare of the public. This concern
and the ability to regulate are tempered by the taking clause
1 of the U.S. Constitution which states that "private property
(shall not)be taken for public use without just compensation."
I The question of what cotutilates a"taking"and the presumed
relationship between the private ownership of land and an
unrestrained private right to develop is mining increased
attention in the courts. At present,if land case regulations are
r based on first rate ccologie;il,economic, and social research •
and arc persuasive in tel of the public interest,they may be
SWt lined as n public right. The following are methods of
regulatiag land use.

Sensitive Lands The Metropolitan Council has developed model ordinances •
____—_—
Zonirig which addre s the issue of conservation and protection of
environmentally sensitive lands. These model ordinances,
developed pursuant to MS 473.201,are laid over existing local
regulations and nre intended to provide regulatory options to
local governments. Three approaches to environmental
protection are offered.
1. Environmental site planninr, ordinance. The ordinance
requires the preparation and approval of a site plan which
• includes a performance bond. Approval of the site plan is
contingent on the proposal's ability to satisfy a set of
•
standards which address various local concerns. These •
concerns may include soil erosion,,wetland preservation,
the preservation of fish anal wildlife habitat,or other
matters important to the local government.
2 Environmental overlay district ordinance. The
ordinance establishes a number of environmental districts
which overlay the established land use zoning districts.
The environmental districts address the protection,
preservation,and maintenance of wetlands,woodlands,
unique habitats,soil erosion,groundwater recharge,and
• restrictive soils.
Use of a given parcel of land will he determined by the
regulations for the underlying land use zoning district,
provided the additional requirements and standards of the
environmental overlay district are met.
3. Conservation district ordinance. The ordinance
establishes a single conservation zoning district. The
purpose of the ordinance is to preserve natural resources
and environmental quality in order to avoid public expense
resulting from inappropriate development. The intent is
to prohibit uses which are incompatible and conversely to
allow, through conditional use permit,uses which are
compatible with the purpose of the zone.
Floodplain MS 104.01 directs local governments to develop floodplain
Zonin_ zoning ordinances which comply with the requirements for
management of floodplains(Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources Chapter 7:N It 85-93)and the National Flood
Insurance Program(PI,90-448).
The purpose of these programs is to promote sound land use
practices on floodpinins in order to reduce flood damage,
• decrease public expenditure and inconvenience, and ensure
that a community's flood prone lands are put to their most
appropriate use.

Shoreland The Shoreland Management Act(MS 105.485)is intended
Youiay to provide guidance for the wise we of shorelauads and their
-' related land resources in order to preserve the economic and
natural resource values and enhance the quality of the state's
3 surface waters. The Statewide Standards and Criteria for
,t Management of Shoreland Areas of Minnesota(Ninnesota
Department of Conservation Rules,Chapter G:CONS 70-77)
and the Statewide Standards and Criteria for Management of
Municipal Shoreland Areas(Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources Rules, Chapter 6:NR 82-84)establish minimum
guidelines for the use and development of shoreland areas by
establishing sewage treatment requirements, minimum lot •
sizes,building setbacks,and subdivision provisions.
"Shoreland"is land within 1,000 ft of the ordinary high water
mark of a protected water;land within 300 ft of a river or
•
stream;or the landward extension of the designated floodplain
of a river or stream,whichever is greater. To administer the
program,three classes of development standards were
3 developed to account for the different physical and cultural
characteristics of the state's streams and lakes. These three
classes are Natural Environment (lakes and streams),
• Recreational Development(lakes),and General Development
Makes and streams).
Subdivision Local units of government are authorized to regulate
Regulations where and in what manner the subdivision of land will be
rj permitted. This authority is given to cities by MS 462.358 and
to counties by MS 394.25. The local subdivision regulations
can control the density to which an area may be subdivided
and require that a reasonable portion of a proposed subdivision
be dedicated to the public or preserved for public use. The
size of this reasonable dedication meet be tied to the need
created by the approval of the proposed subdivision. The city
can also accept money in lieu of dedication. This money roust .. :,-
be spent for the same use that the dedicated lands would have
been.
Land Use flan As part of a community's comprehensive planning effort
Designation in the metropolitan area,a community is required to designate
the location,intensity.and extent of different land uses that
will occur within its jurisdiction(MS 473.859). One hind use
that rnest be addressed in the land use portion of the
community comprehensive plan is parks and open space
(MS 473.859,sued. 3). 1'he:;c lands ore d-a.signated
administratively during the planning process and unless they
id are considered part of the metropolitan parks and open space
system administered by the Metropolitan Council, the lands
enjoy no legal protection and the proposed or designated tee
cnn be changed by amending the city's comprehensive plan.
Lund use designation can,however,be a strong method of
protection if the relative!dem fletillet:of n designated area cnn
be demonstrated clearly to policy makers and if dcsiguntion
will help fulfill the legal requirements or organizational
incentives for implementing other protection techniques.

Appendix B
Transfer of The transfer of development right::(Ti)It)is gradually
6cvc nncnt Rights becoming n useful land management technique, The method
combines the concept of zoning with compensation to owners
of restricted lands. The compensation, in this case, comes
from developers who wish to build on less restricted land
rather than from the government.
Transfer of development rights schemes have many different
forms,but generally have two basic components. First,
environmentally valuable land inside the planning jurisdiction
is defined on a map and zoned for little or no further
development. Other land in the planning jurisdiction is zoned
for further development.
The second component of a TI)R plan involves the inducement
mechanism for transferring development rights from the
no-growth zone to the growth zone.
•
The idea is that the development rights are separated from the •
land in the no-growth zone and are made available for •
• purchase and attachment to land in the growth zone. The use
of TDR should be considered as a supplement to other
•
regulatory methods of land use control and a way to provide
and alternative use to property owners whose land is important
to the valley concept.
ACQUISITION Acquisition of the right to develop property is the most direct
way of protecting natural or cultural resources. MS 412.211 •
authorizes statutory cities to acquire real or personal property
within or without their corporate limits. Counties are
authorized to acquire and hold real and personal property for
the use of the county by MS 373.01 and 378.08.
•
Such purchase or acquisition of development rights is
authorized as long as the acquisition is related to a proper
public purpose. The preservation of open space land is
considered such n purpose(Op. Att. Gen. 469-12,April 11,
1974). There are at least five ways which the development
rights for a given area of land can be acquired.
Fee Title Fee title acquisition is the simplest and most direct way •
Acguuriron to acquire development rights. Through this method alf of the
rights associated with title ownership are held and the
property is fully owned. Fee title acquisition can be
accomplished through direct purchase,donation,or a variety
of other means. As mentioned earlier, it is within the
authority of a local government's power over subdivisions to
require the dedication of land. This fee rnn:tbe used for the
acquisition of lands that would serve the same purpose as
those that would have been dedicated(MS 482.358).

bey clop ment Development rights easement is a way of acquiring part
`� 1{ighls Easement or all of the right to develop or modify property.
Development rights easements are also referred to as scenic,
conservation,or development easements. Easements are
interests in land which give the casement owner a limited •
right on the property of a given landowner. These rights can •
be sold or donated and are transmitted through a standard
deed of conveyance. The value of a given easement is directly
related to the rights included in the conveyance and can be
determined by calculating the difference between the fair
market value of the property unrestricted and the fair market
value of the property restricted by the terms of the easement.
Leases Leases describe rental agreements. The lease states the terms
of the agreement, including the property rights temporarily
acquired by the renter, the rights retained by the property
owner, the duration of the lease, the amount of rent,and how
the rent will be paid. As with management agreements,it is
important to record the lease with the county clerk as
additional insurance of long term protection of the resource.
Cooperative A cooperative agreement is a legal contract to manage
Agreements property in a specific way for a stated period of time to
•
achieve purposes mutually understood. The agreement does
not permanently restrict the deed of the property but does
create a legal interest in the property that can be recorded
with the county clerk. If the agreement involves a
"consideration"(usually a nominal sum of money)and has been
legally recorded, it claims an interest in the property and is
enforceable throughout the duration of the agreement.
•
Cooperative agreements typically provide a means for
breaking the agreement provided that suitable notice is given.
Registration Registration of significant lands,resources and habitat types
,{ can provide the recognition and incentives needed to support
the efforts to preserve and protect the lower Minnesota River
Valley. A registry program can also influence development
indirectly by helping document"the greater than local
significance"of a given resource.
Organization and development of a registry must focus on the
special nature of the resource to be protected and the
civic-mindedness and nencrasity of the owner to voluntarily
protect the resource in question. The real protection method
used then is the commitment of the landowner to protect the
resource in question and the formal recognition rand
appreciation of this commitment.
l69
2/_1/
Appendix B
MLTIIODS The following are descriptions of a number methods for .
facilitating the acquisition of development rights. These _
methods can be used to pursue and/or achieve various levels of
• protection provided by different techniques of acquiring the
right to develop property. •
Donation or dedication is an option for acquiring land
Donation which has not been utilized to its potential. As cited in the
_--- discussion on tax incentives,federal income tax laws
encourage making charitable contributions by allowing a
deduction against ordinary income equal(with exceptions)to
the value of the donation. Consequently, the taxpayer's
liability is reduced,often by a considerable amount. This
encourages both individuals and corporations to express the
maximum possible generosity and results in the greatest
savings for all parties concerned. •
There are several ways to solicit donations:community drives,
• formation of a special foundation, or the use of a catalog or
"wish book"which would give the donor a number of choices or
projects to which the donation could be applied. it should be
noted that every potential donation of land may have features
which are unique, and therefore the method of conveyance
should be structured to meet the needs of both parties,the
character of the land,and be as financially advantageous to
the donor as possible.
Bargain Sales Bargain sales provide an option in instances where a landowner
will not consider making a full donation of a property. A
•
bargain sale combines the advantages of a gift and a sale by •
selling property to a qualifying organization at a price that is
less than its fair market value. The result is part-sale and
part-charitable donation of the property. The amount
deductible as a donation for income tax purposes is the
difference between the fair market value of the property and
the actual sale price. The taxable gain from the sale is the
difference between the selling price and the cost basis
allocated to the property sold. A bargain sale provides the
landowner with some actual cash as well as a capital gain tax
reduction and a charitable donation deduction.
Exchange Management and development objectives on public and private
land holdings sometimes conflict. The exchange of scattered
•
public ownership for private lands within management units -
may allow each landowner to more efficiently and
productively manage these lands. MS Sections 94.341 and
94.349 establish the Minnesota Land Exchange Board. This
board provides the conditions and procedures fur laud
exchange with the DN R. The National Wildlife Refuge Act
authorizes the',WS to exchange lands(1G USC 668dd).
Land is eligible for exchange only when the exchange involves
Iands of equal value its determined by a land exchange
appruisor of the DN R or FWS.
170 r'.,n
•
Appendix B
•
,s Purchase Purchase and resale allows land to be purchased and then
ant)lies_a_le returned to the tax rolls after it has been burdened with •
restrictions similar to those found in an casement. The
appropriate restrictions are written into the deed before
s transfer back to the private sector. The net result of this
procedure is the same as purchasing the rights directly. In
both cases,the restrictions on development should"run with
the land,"that is, they should become a part of the deed and
be binding on all future owners.
3 Rights of The right of first refusal or"first option to purchase"is
hirst_Refusel an agreement with a landowner to first offer the land to the •
. holder of the right if the owner decides to sell or receives a
bona fide offer on his/her land.
•
•
In short,it is arranging for formal notification of a possible
3 change in hued ownership and use with sufficient lead time to
assess the present and future possibilities for the land,
negotiate options with the present and perspective owner,
and/or make an offer. As with other agreements,a right of
first refusal should be recorded.
•
Right of
g When a parcel of a"designated type"(e.g.,open space)
Preemption land comes on the market,a governmental body, under the
right of preemption,can substitute itself for whoever has
made an offer for the land. Then it may purchase and resell
the property with restrictions. The public purchases only
.4 those properties which,in fact, come on the market,at the •
time they come on the market,and if the proposed purchaser
would convert the itund to an unacceptable use. Thus, the total
number of purchases are likely to be less under fee simple
. acquisition or purchase and resale. The purchases are also
likely to be somewhat spread out over time rather than
occurring all at the beginning of the program period.
Although there is no formal program based on its use in the
United States,preemption is used extensively in Europe and is
• a power that is compatible with the American legal system
and values. There Ls ample precedent for it in the private
market's use of the right of first refusal.
•
One of the aims of the comprehensive plan is to
FINANCIAL TOOLS coordinate the lend use and management objectives that
3 transcend the jurisdictional boundaries of the governmental
units involved. The achievement of regional land management
and protection objectives seldom can be accomplished solely
J through policy end regulation. Although they may prove
adequate where a problem is fairly clear and enforcement is
possible,policy end regulatory toots generally work better
when supported by appropriate financial tools, Financial tools
can eerve as nel;iitive reinforcement by piagybaclnng costs
onto regulation and enn provide en incentive for cooperating
with the public sector in land management by substituting cost ,.
3 for regulation or by providiugsubsidies. Financial tools also
can and flexibility to the more rigid eppra•ich of regulation.
1 7'9 171
I L
i
Appendix B
Local governments have the authority to use these tools
directly. The value of the tools will depend largely on the
commitment of local governments to the objectives in this
comprehensive plan.
There are four major financial tools which could be used in i
land management in the lower Minnesota River Valley. They
complement both a local government's regulatory powers over
the location,extent, and intensity of land use and their
function of providing public services such as sewer,water,and
roads. All of these tools have broad applicability and local
governments con implement them without depending on
appropriations from other levels of government.
Capital Improvement Capital improvement programming can effectively
Prograniatg establish a part-part development management system. First,
the local government prepares a capital improvement program
that itemizes future expenditures planned over several years
for growth-shaping public improvements,such as sewers and
roads. This enables the government to anticipate major
improvements and provide necessary funding. To be effective,
the capital improvement program mist be coordinated with
the government's planning process and regulation of land
development. Development is allowed to take place only in •
areas where existing public facilities or planned new facilities
are adequate to serve it.
When a local government's executive branch prepares the
capital improvement program, it ensures coordination by
inviting the planning board to participate. This gives the
board a practical view of what facilities the locality can •
afford to build,and when. When the planning board reviews
requests for new subdivisions, it has the authority to
disapprove a subdivision,if it finds that existing and
programmed sewer and road facilities would be inadequate to
serve the development.
Marginal Cost Charging developers the full costs of extending public
Pricianj services to new subdivisions—marginal cant pricing—is another •
—�' fiscal device for controlling development. Local governments
have the authority to determine how they charge for public
services. Most fund sewers,roads,and other services from
property tax revenues or average cost fees. In effect, fringe
development is subsidized by average rates because it costs
more to serve low-density scattered development.
A local government using marginal cast pricing allocates all
incremental cysts of sprawl development to the developers
and,in turn,to the new residents and business owners. No
public funds are committed to extension of service beyond the
l urban areas established in the local plan. The result is that
fringe development takes place only if people who choose to •
locate beyond the established area are willing to pay all public
service casts.
172
Appendix B
•
This strategy eliminates one problem created by urban sprawl;
scarce public resources are not used for facilities to serve
fringe development. Urban sprawl may be curtailed because
higher housing coats may reduce demand for housing in
outlying areas. Where marginal costs pricing alone is not
a adequate to curb urban sprawl,local governments can use
regulatory tools such as planning,zoning,and agricultural
preserves.
Tax-Exempt Tax-exempt bonds can be issued by the state or a
Cionds governmental jurisdiction within a state. They provide capital
at low interest rates because bonds arc exempt from the
federal income tax. The bonds, therefore,are marketable at a
lower interest rate than non tax-exempt bonds.
Tax-exempt bonds are used to fund public infrastructure
costs—sewer,water,streets—of development and
redevelopment. They also fund much of the pollution control
equipment required to meet national environmental standards.
Grants There are two types of grants-catagorical and block. Uses of
categorical grants are narrowly defined and closely regulated
by the funding agency. Bloc':grants may serve a broader
range of purposes and allow more flexibility to recipients.
Land management objectives funded by grants include
parklands acquisition,wetlands acquisition,subsidized housing
construction and rehabilitation,inner-city redevelopment,and
construction of highways and bridges.
Grants do have some drawbacks. Because most grant money
3 comes from the federal or state governments,local
governments cannot control their availability. They also are
constrained in using the money by restrictions imposed by the
funding agency.

RE: Olympic Hills Corporation (Renewal of on-sale liquor license 1984)
Dear Mr. Jullie:
During the course of the annual renewal of our on-sale liquor license, the
question has arisen as to whether Olympic Hills Corporation would qualify for a
"club" on-sale liquor license, as defined by MSA §340.07 Subd. 15 and §4.01
Subd. 15 of the City Ordinances of the City of Eden Prairie. In the past, we
have viewed the 15-year existence requirement contained in MSA §340.11 Subd. 11
•
•
as a bar to our obtaining a "club" license. This subdivision of the statute is
the one which authorizes municipalities to issue on-sale and "club" licenses.
The statute formerly contained the provision that a bona fide club had to be in
existence for 15 years; this 15-year requirement was changed to three years by
an enactment of the 1983 Legislature, found at 1983 Laws of Minnesota Chapter
259.
In light of the above, Olympic Hills Corporation feels that it is qualified
for a "club" license under City Ordinances and state law. It is my understand-
ing that you are in harmony with our position, and that this matter is on the
Consent Calendar for the December 20, 1983 meeting; nevertheless, it is my
intention to personally attend the City Council meeting on that date along with
Ted Parkin, the manager of the club, to answer any questions the City Council
may have in regard to this matter.
In the interim, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ine.
As always, we appreciate your courtesy and cooperation.
With warmest personal regards,
GUSTAFSON & ADAMS, P.A.

REPORT ON THE ALLAN NASH KENNEL LICENSE APPLICATION
From the neighbors:
"Dogs in kennels; Lab runs loose often-couple of times
a week, Setter runs sometimes, Poodle runs sometimes.
• Barking at all times of the night - no control whatso-
ever. This happens 5 to 6 hours continuously"
"Barking is the only problem - no, they don't keep them
under control."
"Because of the barking, we moved our bedroom downstairs.
Dogs are a nuisance - I won't sign any approval for this.
Barking is a problem."
RECO:1 KNDATION FROM ANIMAL CONTROL
The dog kennel should be moved up by the house and the
dogs should be brought in at night (10:00 PM to 7:00 AM).
