Re: Legal Newspaper Status - Eden Prairie News
Dear Mr. Rolfsrud:
I am responding to your recent letter concerning the Eden
Prairie News, and your proposal to change that newspaper from
paid subscription to free circulation. Your specific inquiry
is whether or not this change will jeopardize your status as
a legal newspaper.
My basic conclusion is identical to yours. I can unequivocally
say that I see no basis for arguing that the proposed change
would alter the legal newspaper status. That of course is not
to say that someone can't attempt to dispute your status once
the change is made. However, I feel quite confident that such
a challenge would go nowhere. The reasons I feel this way are
as follows.
In the first place, there is nothing whatsoever in Minnesota law
which directly addresses this specific question. Neither the
provisions of the applicable statutes, nor the opinions of either
the Minnesota Supreme Court or the Minnesota Attorney General's
office are directly on point. This is substantially in your
favor, since under any reasonable interpretation of Minn. Stat.
Section 331.02 your proposed change would not affect your legal
newspaper status.
Section 331.02 contains four provisions which are pertinent to
the question here. Clause (4) requires that the newspaper "have
Page 2
October 27, 1983
Mr. Stan Rolfsrud
at least 500 copies regularly delivered to paying subscribers
and have entry as second class matter in its local post office,
or have at least 500 copies regularly distributed without
aarge to local residents".
Clause (6a) requires that the newspaper be made available at
single or subscription prices to anyone "requesting the news-
paper and making the applicable payment, or be distributed with-
out charge to local residents".
Clause (7) states that the newspaper must have "complied with all
the foregoing conditions of this subdivision for at least one
year last past", which includes the clauses just recited. There
is nothing whatsoever in the language of any of the sections
cited, nor in any other section of Chapter 331 governing legal
newspapers generally, which states or implies that a change under
clauses (4) or (6a) affects the newspaper's qualified legal status.
Furthermore, it is a well-known principle of statute interpretation
that statutes are to be interpreted according to their plain
meaning.
The plain meaning of the clauses just referred to is that a news-
paper can change from paid subscription to free distribution and
retain its qualified status. Clauses (4) and (6a) both simply
state that the newspaper must comply with one or the other of
the conditions described. From your letter, I understand that you
will still be fully in compliance with those clauses once you
have made your change to free distribution.
I think that clause (8) of Section 331.02(1), which requires sub-
mission of a U.S.P.S. "second class statement of ownership and
circulation or in the absence of a permit" annual submission of a
verified statement of ownership and circulation by a recognized
auditing agency, once again simply gives a newspaper a choice.
Provided that the newspaper complies with one or the other each
year without interruption, there should be no problem. I agree
that your current submission to the Secretary of State is sufficient
for this year, and that next year it will be sufficient if you
submit the audited statement.
Section 331.02(3) lends support to this interpretation. That
section lists several occurrences which will not invalidate a
Page 3
October 27, 1983
Mr. Stan Rolfsrud
newspaper's qualified legal status. These include consolidation
with another paper, change of the newspaper's name, change of
the day of publication, change of the frequency of publication,
and change of the known office of issue within the county. On
the other hand, that section lists occurrences which will cause
a newspaper to lose its qualified status. These inclai —the
suspension of publication, change of the known office of issue
outside of the county, and the failure to maintain a known office
of issue in the county.
This statute provides an important indication of the types of
occurrences which the Legislature believed should affect the
qualified status of a newspaper. It is quite clear to me that the
change which you are proposing has no effect on the fundamental
character of the newspaper, and therefore is much more similar
to the types of occurrences just listed which would not change the
qualified status, than it is to the occurrencei —Nit —Iisted which
would change the status. All of the latter contingencies involve
some basic or fundamental alteration of the character of the news-
paper or its office. By analogy, therefore, Section 331.02(3)
strongly supports the interpretation which we have already arrived
at.
Finally, we should look at the basic reason for enactment of the
laws governing legally qualified newspapers. It is quite clear
that this reason is to insure the credibility, legitimacy, and
permanency of a newspaper which will be publishing public notices.
Nothing connected with your proposed change has any significant
effect on the well-established status of your newspaper. The change
that you are contemplating seems in no way to be contrary to the
purposes of the statute in insuring the legitimate and permanent
status of a legal newspaper. For this reason also, I am quite con-
fident that a court reviewing this situation would rule in your
favor.
As a result of the reasons just discussed, I seriously doubt if
anyone will seriously attempt to challenge you on the basis of this
change. However, if someone does raise a question, you might want
to consider either having an attorney for one of the municipalities
which you deal with request an opinion from the State Attorney
General on this matter, or seek what is called a declaratory judg-
ment as to the qualified status of the newspaper as provided for
Page 4
October 27, 1983
Mr. Stan Rolfsrud
in Section 331.02(4).
I hope this answers your question. If I can be of any further
assistance in connection with this matter, feel entirely free
to call on me. Also, please feel free to show copies of this
letter to anyone who you would

City Manager Jullie noted that Ron Krueger had prepared additional
grading plans showing the alignment of his interior street matching
the relocated intersection of Duck Lake Trail and County Road 4.

Trail were followed. He reviewed the options available and reported
on discussions he has had with the property owner to the south.
Redpath said there are 57 units in the Mill Creek townhouse development
and there are few problems with left hand turns in and out even with
the amount of traffic on Highway 1. Anderson said he did not think 11
houses in Hidden Ridge would pose much of a traffic problem.

distributed this Fall under the auspices of the Council. She also

the Surplus Food Program, Emergency Assistance Program, H.O.M.E.,
Family Violence, Child and Adult Abuse, etc. Dysinger said the Council
is now involved in a comprehesive study of human services.
City Council Minutes -5- December 6, 1983
Mary Hayden reviewed the "South Hennepin Comprehensive Implementation
Draft Preliminary Report" which had just been compiled by the Comprehensive
Study Implementation Committee. Copies were distributed to the Council.
Hayden said the Committee is looking at areas in which nothing is being
done and which might be feasible. She said family violence is being
stressed as an area of priority.
Russ Striker added that area-wide concerns where services are lacking
are going to be focused upon by South Hennepin Human Services Council.
Hayden said the Committee expects to do a lot in the next three months.
The Council will be updated on their activities from time to time.
VII. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS
A. 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 56-83, regarding Liquor License Fees
City Manager Jullie stated this draft Ordinance had been placed on the
agenda pursuant to the Council's direction of November 29th.
City Attorney Pauly noted his memorandum of December 1, 1983, and
said he had surveyed area communities and had determined that they
were split on the issue of paying liquor license fees in installments.
Penzel noted his reasons for bringing this issue before the Council.
Bentley said he felt the City does not have a large number of licenses
available and they should be looked at as an important commodity. They
are a source of revenue to the City. He also said he felt the licenses
should go to those who were able to pay for them.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to table action on this
item to a date not certain. Motion carried unanimously.
VIII. APPOINTMENTS
A. Appointment of member to the Human Rights & Services Commission to fill
an unexpired term to 2/28/84
Penzel called attention to a letter which had been received from Gary D.
Peterson in which he stated he was resigning from the Human Rights &
Services Commission.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to appoint Doug Beardsley
to fill the unexpired term to 2/28/84 on the Human Rights & Services
Commission. Motion carried unanimously.
A letter of appreciation will be sent to Gary D. Peterson on behalf of
the Council.
City Council Minutes -6- December 6, 1983
IX. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDSAI COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Council Members
Penzel - called attention to the Resource Advisory Committee of the
Metropolitan Council meeting to be held at 3:00 p.m. on
Wednesday, December 13, 1983.
B. Report of City Attorney
City Attorney Pauly reviewed Congressman Bill Frenzel's letter of
November 30, 1983, which addressed legislation affecting tax-exempt
bonds. He explained the impact this might have on the City. Pauly
said the concern individual communities would have is that the basis
for issuing bonds would be a city's population. Eden Prairie would
lose out if that were the case.
Bentley said this would toss out the reserve fund idea which had
been discussed by the City. He said other options should be considered
and looked into by the City.
Penzel suggested each Council member communicate with his legislators
regarding this issue.
C. Report of City Manager
There was no report.
D. Report of Director of Community Services
1. North Stars /Agreement
Director of Community Services Lambert called attention to his
memorandum of November 30, 1983, regarding the North Stars Agreement.
Penzel said he felt the City should have some guarantee as to the
minimum number of hours the North Stars will use the ice. He also
expressed concern about what would happen if the franchise were to
move to another City.
City Attorney Pauly said there are specific restrictions regarding
the encumberances. He said there will be clarification on the hours
of scheduling.
Various points of the agreement were discussed and issues were
clarified.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to recommend approval
of the North StarsiAgreement relative to the construction of a
locker room addition to the Eden Prairie Community Center based on
6
City Council Minutes -7- December 6, 1983
these findings of fact: 1) that the land which is leased to the
North Stars for their locker room facility is determined to be
excess and/or surplus land presently and for the period of 20
years; 2) that the 300 hours of ice time constitutes excess ice
time for the period of the lease; and 3) that the consideration
provided by the North Stars in the agreement, which consists of
building a building and the City succeeding in that building at
the termination of the lease, is a fair and adequate consideration
going to the North Stars. The supporting evidence for these
findings is found in Charles Pappas' memorandum to the City Council
dated November 28, 1983, and April 21, 1983. The North Stare
Agreement will reflect the amendments as noted by the Council this
evening. Motion carried unanimously.
X. NEW BUSINESS
A. Set Tuesday, December 27, 1983, at 7:30 p.m. as the date and time of a
Special Meeting of the City Council to be held in the Council Chambers
at 8950 Eden Prairie Road at which time requests for Industrial Revenue
Bonds will be heard.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to set Tuesday, December
27, 1983, at 7:30 p.m. as the date and time of a Special Meeting of the
Eden Prairie City Council at which time requests for Industrial Revenue
Bonds will he heard. The meeting will be held in the Council Chambers
at 8950 Eden Prairie Road. Motion carried unanimously.
B. Road System in the Castle Ridge area
Penzel stated there is a need for a curb cut at the eastern end of
Castle Ridge. Planning Director Enger explained the road system and
the reason there was no curb cut at that junction.
Penzel asked that a meeting be set up with the Castle Ridge residents
so they might be able to see what is proposed in that area.
Anderson asked when the semaphores will be installed at Prairie Center
Drive and TH 169. Director of Public Works Dietz said MnDOT will install
them in late Spring or early Summer of 1984. The City had offered the
services of its traffic consultants to speed up the process.

City Council Minutes -8- December 6, 1983
C. Special Assessments/Richard Miller Homes
Richard Miller, Mel Ford and Robert Davidson, attorney for Miller Homes,
were present.
Richard Miller addressed his letter of December 6, 1983, (see attached)
regarding the special assessments - Timber Lakes.
City Attorney Pauly said he was unable to find any authority which
requires the City to remove the assessments and respread them nor could
he find anything which would allow the City do so. Pauly noted that
Chapter 429 of the State Statutes permits the reconsideration of
assessments under certain circumstances and permits the reassessment
after certain hearings. He said he did not feel the City had been remiss
In these assessments and thus a rehearing would not be possible.
Discussion ensued on the pros and cons of the proposal. It was the
consensus of the Council that more information would be necessary before
action could be taken, if action were to be taken.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to set Friday, December
9, 1983, at 4:30 p.m. as the date and time of a special meeting of the
City Council at which time additional information will be presented
relative to this matter. The meeting will be held in the Council
Chambers at 8950 Eden Prairie Road. Motion carried unanimously.

This joint meeting of the City Council; Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commis-
sion; Planning Commission; Watershed District and MCA Floodplain Property Owners was
called to order by Mayor Wolfgang H. Penni.
Bill Sault of the Watershed District presented Penzel with a check for $3,000 to
be used towards the cost of the Master Plan for the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area.
He stated the Watershed District was pleased and honored to be a part of this. Penzel
accepted the check on behalf of the City and thanked the District for its participation.
Gary Tushie of Saunders-Thalden & Associates introduced the team members who were
present. A memorandum and report of the Planning Team regarding this portion of
the meeting is attached to these Minutes.
The Council discussed various ways to proceed as the Resource Management Committee
of the Metropolitan Council had voted to keep Site #2 as a site for a landfill and
will forward this recommendation on to the Metropolitan Council when it meets on
Thursday, December 22, 1983, at 4:00 p.m. Penzel noted the discrepencies in the
findings which had been used to veto Site #1 and then had been used to favor Site
#2. It has been noted the FAA has some regulations regarding the location of
landfills relative to airports. This will be explored further. Other areas to
be looked into are the question of Green Acres/MUSA Line, wildlife preserves, etc.
The Council requested Staff to prepare a mailing to be sent to concerned residents
in the landfill site area; this mailing is to be ready by Friday.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to direct Staff to work on all aspects
of the problem relating to Site #2, Motion carried unanimously.
It was suggested the City provide a bus for those wishing to attend the Metropolitan
Council meeting on the 22nd.

Re: Legal Newspaper Status - Eden Prairie News
Dear Mr. Rolfsrud:
I am responding to your recent letter concerning the Eden
Prairie News, and your proposal to change that newspaper from
paid subscription to free circulation. Your specific inquiry
is whether or not this change will jeopardize your status as
a legal newspaper.
My basic conclusion is identical to yours. I can unequivocally
say that I see no basis for arguing that the proposed change
would alter the legal newspaper status. That of course is not
to say that someone can't attempt to dispute your status once
the change is made. However, I feel quite confident that such
a challenge would go nowhere. The reasons I feel this way are
as follows.
In the first place, there is nothing whatsoever in Minnesota law
which directly addresses this specific question. Neither the
provisions of the applicable statutes, nor the opinions of either
the Minnesota Supreme Court or the Minnesota Attorney General's
office are directly on point. This is substantially in your
favor, since under any reasonable interpretation of Minn. Stat.
Section 331.02 your proposed change would not affect your legal
newspaper status.
Section 331.02 contains four provisions which are pertinent to
the question here. Clause (4) requires that the newspaper "have
Page 2
October 27, 1983
Mr. Stan Rolfsrud
at least 500 copies regularly delivered to paying subscribers
and have entry as second class matter in its local post office,
or have at least 500 copies regularly distributed without
EFarge to local residents".
Clause (6a) requires that the newspaper be made available at
single or subscription prices to anyone "requesting the news-
paper and making the applicable payment, or be distributed with-
out charge to local residents".
Clause (7) states that the newspaper must have "complied with all
the foregoing conditions of this subdivision for at least one
year last past", which includes the clauses just recited. There
is nothing whatsoever in the language of any of the sections
cited, nor in any other section of Chapter 331 governing legal
newspapers generally, which states or implies that a change under
clauses (4) or (6a) affects the newspaper's qualified legal status.
Furthermore, it is a well-known principle of statute interpretation
that statutes are to be interpreted according to their plain
meaning.
The plain meaning of the clauses just referred to is that a news-
paper can change from paid subscription to free distribution and
retain its qualified status. Clauses (4) and (6a) both simply
state that the newspaper must comply with one or the other of
the conditions described. From your letter, I understand that you
will still be fully in compliance with those clauses once you
have made your change to free distribution.
I think that clause (8) of Section 331.02(1), which requires sub-
mission of a U.S.P.S. "second class statement of ownership and
circulation or in the absence of a permit" annual submission of a
verified statement of ownership and circulation by a recognized
auditing agency, once again simply gives a newspaper a choice.
Provided that the newspaper complies with one or the other each
year without interruption, there should be no problem. I agree
that your current submission to the Secretary of State is sufficient
for this year, and that next year it will be sufficient if you
submit the audited statement.
Section 331.02(3) lends support to this interpretation. That
section lists several occurrences which will not invalidate a
22
Page 3
October 27, 1983
Mr. Stan Rolfsrud
newspaper's qualified legal status. These include consolidation
with another paper, change of the newspaper's name, change of
the day of publication, change of the frequency of publication,
and change of the known office of issue within the county. On
the other hand, that section lists occurrences which will cause
a newspaper to lose its qualified status. These inclai —the
suspension of publication, change of the known office of issue
outside of the county, and the failure to maintain a known office
of issue in the county.
This statute provides an important indication of the types of
occurrences which the Legislature believed should affect the
qualified status of a newspaper. It is quite clear to me that the
change which you are proposing has no effect on the fundamental
character of the newspaper, and therefore is much more similar
to the types of occurrences just listed which would not change the
qualified status, than it is to the occurrencei —ITit —listed which
would change the status. All of the latter contingencies involve
some basic or fundamental alteration of the character of the news-
paper or its office. By analogy, therefore, Section 331.02(3)
strongly supports the interpretation which we have already arrived
at.
Finally, we should look at the basic reason for enactment of the
laws governing legally qualified newspapers. It is quite clear
that this reason is to insure the credibility, legitimacy, and
permanency of a newspaper which will be publishing public notices.
Nothing connected with your proposed change has any significant
effect on the well-established status of your newspaper. The change
that you are contemplating seems in no way to be contrary to the
purposes of the statute in insuring the legitimate and permanent
status of a legal newspaper. For this reason also, I am quite con-
fident that a court reviewing this situation would rule in your
favor.
As a result of the reasons just discussed, I seriously doubt if
anyone will seriously attempt to challenge you on the basis of this
change. However, if someone does raise a question, you might want
to consider either having an attorney for one of the municipalities
which you deal with request an opinion from the State Attorney
General on this matter, or seek what is called a declaratory judg-
ment as to the qualified status of the newspaper as provided for
Page 4
October 27, 1983
Mr. Stan Rolfsrud
in Section 331.02(4).
I hope this answers your question. If I can be of any further
assistance in connection with this matter, feel entirely free
to call on me. Also, please feel free to show copies of this
letter to anyone who you would like.
Best regards,

Lambert referred to Staff Memo of December 15, 1983,
which refers to the need for a neighborhood park
north of Rowland Road and west of Shady Oak Road.
This park would service the proposed single family
residential development in this area. The terrain
is very bad. It consists of marshes and wooded
ridges, therefore a very difficult area to develop.
The developer and staff have agreed that the 15
acres on the north portion of the site could best
serve as a park. The developer has agreed to
give 4.2 acres of land in this area in lieu of
cash park fees of $27,950. Lambert recommends
purchase of the additional 10.8 acres for no more
than $20,000. Total cost for the proposed 15 acre
park site would be approximately $47,950.
Baker expressed concern for a skating rink.
MOTION: Baker moved to accept the recommendation
to acceptthe 4.2 acres and to acquire the additional
10.8 acres for no more than $20,000 and to authorize
an appraisal on the 10.8 acres. Gonyea seconded the
motion and it carried unanimously.
.2. Touch Football- 1983 Report
Jessen made comment on what a concise report it is.)
He recommended that we get reports such as this
on all recreation programs.
'lessen referred to this as an information item
and no action is required.
3. Community Center Monthly Report
Lambert made comment that we have already exceeded
the total number of participants from last year.
It will be another four weeks before we get the
total break even costs but we should lust break even.
The reason for this is the cost of maintenance has
gone up due to expired guarantees.
4. Special Meetinr of December 13, 1953
This meeting was held to discuss the further
planning effort for the Purgatory Creek
Recreation Area.
MOTION: Cnnyea moved to approve the program
for the master plan. Schwartz seconded the
motion and it carried unanimously.

B. CARMEL, by Hans Hagen Homes. Request for Planned Unit
Development District Review, Zoning District Change from
Rural to R1-13.5 (with variances) and Preliminary Plat of 43
acres for single family lots. Location: North of Rowland
Road and West of Old Shady Oak Road. A public hearing.
Staff received some revised information on the project as requested
by the Planning Commission; however, utility information, including
any detailed information describing the storm sewer system, was not
submitted.
Planner Enger reported that the proponent had revised the request to
eliminate the northern 25% of the property nearest the proposed
Crosstown highway alignment from consideration at this time. The
vehicle by which the developer requested the side yard variances
discussed at the October 24, 1983, meeting was now the Planned Unit
Development District Review and the zoning district request has been
modified to R1-13.5.
Proponent also chose to reorient the direction of access to Rowland
Road, rather than Shady Oak Road, while still taking sewer and water
from the direction of Shady Oak Road.
Staff stated that several alternatives existed for access to the
property and road systems within the property. These included: 1)
Primary access from Shady Oak Road through the major hill or south
of the major hill; 2) Primary access from Shady Oak Road south of
the major hill, planned as a minor collector road and access to
Bryant Lake Park, with no roads fronting on the through-road; and,
3) Access taken from Rowland Road with a loop through the major
hill, or, two cul-de-sacs in lieu of the loop, to preserve more of
the major hill.
Planner Enger pointed out that the implication of the developer
taking primary access from Rowland Road would be that Rowland Road
would require upgrading in order for the development to proceed.
The representatives of the County Park Reserve District had stated
their intention to upgrade Rowland Road to a park access road in
1985 or 1986, pending approval of funding from the Metropolitan
Council.
Mr. Hans Hagen, proponent, stated that he would be willing to meet
with the landowners in the area regarding sanitary sewer access to
the property. He added that, regarding the location of the
blacktopped trail along Rowland Road, it would be their proposal to
delete this trail along Rowland Road and berm along the road
instead. Mr. Hagen stated that this would aid in buffering the
property from the adjacent rural area. Also, he stated that there
would be adequate trail access for the people within the development
along the internal roads of the development for access to the
Hennepin County Park to the south.
The Commission discussed the road considerations with the proponent
and Staff in greater detail.
Chairman Bearman -isked about the cut proposed It the top of the hill
at the east side of the property. Planner Enger responded that a 26
ft. cut was proposed, but that it would not be visually noticed from
anywhere around the site as the tree line was sufficiently mature to
screen any such cut. -
Torjesen stated that he felt there were many properties which would
require access and asked that Staff investigate the various
possibilities based on the Guide Plan, to include input from the
neighborhood, regarding the road systems. Planner Enger responded
that he felt the major questions revolved around Rowland Road and
the possibility of an east-west access road.
Marhula stated that he felt it would be appropriate to see the
alternatives to the access situation for the various parcels
adjacent to the proposed Carmel Addition prior to taking action on
the proposal.
Regarding road access for the area, Chairman Bearman raised
questions regarding whether the road network for the area was
sufficient; whether Rowland Road should be a minor road for the area
or a major road; and whether another road would be required of a
major or minor collector status in addition to Rowland Road.
Gartner stated that she felt cul-de-sacs would be warranted in a
situation such as the Carmel plat, due to the nature of the site and
the lack of impact upon the surrounding properties of cul-de-sacs.
Marhula asked if the scheduling of improvement to Rowland Road was a
difficulty for this project. Staff responded that Rowland Road was
not an issue based on the initial alignments chosen for utilities
from Old Shady Oak Road. The initial design did not impact the
scheduling of improvements for Rowland Road. Marhula asked if this
would change based on the revised design of the plat. Staff
responded that it would.
Johannes asked what the projected build-out date was for the
property. Mr. Hagen responded that approximately 25 units would be
sold each year, for a three-to-four year build-out time.
Gartner stated that, as an interim measure, perhaps the developer
could be limited to the number of units built until Rowland Road was
improved.
Chairman Bearman asked for comments and questions from the audience.
Mr. Ed Sieber stated that he supported the use of Rowland Road as
the major access.
Mrs. Julia Larsen, 6509 Rowland Road, owner of a large portion of
the property proposed for development as Carmel, stated that
previous developers had made proposals for the property which had
not met the Guide Plan requirements. She added that, because this
developer met the requirements of the Guide Plan, she felt the
Commission should act favorably upon the request.
Mr. Michael Loosen, 6200 Old Shady Oak Road, spoke in favor of an
additional east-west road to service the Carmel property and the
adjacent parcels.
Mrs. Gayle Farber, 6525 Rowland Road, also spoke in favor of an
additional east-west road, adding that she would like her property
to be considered for access purposes to such a road. Mrs. Farber
added that, while Mr. Hagen had shown how access could be provided
to her property, she was not necessarily in favor of development of
her property at this time, only that her potential for development
not be eliminated by the plans for roads being discussed.
Mr. Al Pavelka, 6324 Shady Oak Road, stated that he was in favor of
an additional east-west road.
Mr. Leonard Uherka, 6301 Shady Oak Road, expressed concern about
utility access for the property. He stated that his property had
just received utilities, for which he was being assessed. This
development proposed: the crossing of his same parcel with utilities,
and Mr. Uherka questioned whether he would be responsible for paying
for the utilties in such a case. Staff responded that assessments
were assigned to properties on a benefit basis, but that the Council
would make a final decision on such a matter.
Mrs. Farber asked if an additional east-west road would
automatically become a secondary park access to the Hennepin County
Park Reserve area to the south. Chairman Bearman stated that this
would be a possibility.
Mr. Don Uherka, 6517 Rowland Road, questioned the advisability of an
additional east-west road.
MOTION:
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Johannes, to continue the
public hearing pending additional information regarding transporta-
tion systems and road access for the area.
Motion carried--6-0-0

Gartner stated that she felt a better system for naming
t

e
t
s
within the project was necessary. Mr. Hagen stated thi
s

lesser density for this site. Staff responded that the project
density was in conformance with the Comprehensive Guide Plan.
Ken Beirsdorf, real estate agent, representing the Uherkas at 6301
Shady Oak Road, asked what the impact would be on the Uherka
property of extending utilities from old Shady Oak Road, across the
Uherka property, to the west to meet this proponent's property.
Staff responded that it would require a great deal of study to
determine the options for the Uherka property.
Roger Farber, 6525 Rowland Road, expressed concern that the entire
area be planned as one neighborhood. He suggested that, prior to
any further action or review on the part of the City, that the
developer meet with the neighborhood to work with their concerns.
Gedney Tuttle, 7030 Willow Creek Road, expressed concern that the
run-off to Bryant Lake from this property not provide pollutants to
spoil the lake.
Gayle Farber, 6525 Rowland Road, asked about the progress of
Hennepin County regarding their plans for upgrading of Rowland Road.
Staff stated that nothing had changed at the County level at this
time.
Hallett stated that he felt an advantage was available to those
existing residents along Rowland Road by the proponent's plan for
utilities to be extended from Old Shady Oak Road. He stated that
this option did not force sewer and water upon the residents of
Rowland Road, whereas extension of utilities to this site within
Rowland Road would do so.
Acting Chairman Torjesen stated that he felt the transitional size
of 2.5 acre lots would be best for this neighborhood.
Mr. Hagen stated that he would be willing to set up a meeting with
the neighborhood to discuss concerns and to redesign the plat where
appropriate to accommodate their concerns. Also, due to the
concerns regarding storm water drainage in the area, he stated that
the calculations for storm water run-off could also be made soon to
provide more exact information to the City and the residents.
Regarding zoning to the R1-13.5 District, as opposed to the
requested R1-9.5 District, Mr. Hagen stated that he would prefer to
maintain the R1-9.5 District to allow for flexibility in location of
the homes on the lots and to provide for the possibility of three-
car garages on approximately 30% of the lots.
MOTION 1:
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Marhula, to continue the
public hearing to the November 14, 1983, Planning Commission meeting

site, and to redesign the plat per the recommendations of the Staff
Report of October 21, 1983, to have all lots in conformance with the
R1-13.5 District requirements.
Johannes asked if it would be possible, perhaps through a Planned
Unit Development process, to restrict the development of 30% of the
lots as R1-9.5, as the proponent had requested. Staff stated that
this would be a possibility if the Commission so desired.
Motion carried--6-0-0

REQUESTS: 1. Zoning District Change from Rural to R1-9.5
2. . Preliminary Plat of 56 acres for 112 lots
Background
The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates the parcel for Low Density Residential. The
current zoning is Rural.
Existing Site Character
The parcel is bordered to the north by the proposed 62nd Crosstown Freeway alignment.
and to the south by Hennepin County Park Reserve land. To the east and west large
rural homesteads exist.
A home and several outbuildings exist within the property. The home is proposed to
be incorporated within the plat.
Existing vegetation consists of mainly meadow grasses and cropland. Large areas of
swamp vegetation and woodland are predominant within the parcel. The proponent has
not submitted a tree inventory indicating trees to be lost with development.
Evaluation of the aerial photos indicates a majority of the woods and swamp areas
being saved.
The existing topography is characterized by rolling hills with steep slopes ranging
from 10-40% and vertical drops of up to 60 feet. Storm water drainage runs to
several low swamp areas located within the site.
Soil correction will be necessary for residential development of the parcel.
Small mauls, birds, and deer will be displaced to surrounding rural and park areas
with development.
Liq
Carmel Addition Staff Report 2 October 21, 1983
Land Use
The developer requests R1-9.5 zoning and platting of 112 single family lots. The
developer feels the R1-9.5 request would provide the necessary flexibility with side
yard setbacks to allow the development of large homes. The prices of homes will
range from $125,000 to $225,000.
The intent of the R1-9.5 District is to provice smaller lots with lower cost for
smaller homes. The reduced side yard setback of five feet and ten feet is to be in
scale with a smaller home on a small lot. This proposal would place large homes
next to other large homes and utilize small setbacks.
Ordinance Requirements
All lots meet or exceed the lot size, lot width, lot depth, front yard setback, rear
yard setback, and side yard setback requirements for the R1-9.5 District.
The following is the lot area information for the project:
Minimum lot size
Maximum lot size
Average lot size
Lot size range:
9,500 to 13,499 sq. ft.
13,500 to 21,999 sq. ft.
22,000 sq. ft. and over
Gross Density: 2 units per acre
11,250 sq. ft.
43,650 sq. ft.
18,840 sq. ft.
22 lots
62 lots
28 lots
Site Plan
Access to the parcel is proposed off Rowland Road. Rowland Road has a rock surface
and is not designed to carry the traffic generated from the proposed development.
The nearest water and sanitary sewer service is from County Road #61. The future
improvement of Rowland Road would include a 12 inch watermain. The developer plans
to bring utilities through a parcel to the east following a potential road alignment
to County Road #61. In order to develop the Carmel parcel, an agreement would need
to be reached with the easterly property owner, thus allowing Carmel road and
utility access. This road alignment should intersect with County Road #61 across
from the northern access to the City West project.
The proposal does not provide a road link to the adjacent parcel to the west. The
terrain to the west is characterized by steep slopes with extreme vertical change.
Staff recommends a 50 foot right-of-way dedication between Lots 8 and 9, Block 1.
This would provide a public road frontage to the remnant Larsen property and would
also provide circulation between the adjacent parcels with any future development.
Pour cul-de-sacs are proposed. The Carmel Road cul-de-sac exceeds the 500 foot
maximum length. Staff reconnends that Carmel Court cul-de-sac dog-leg to the north,
thus eliminating Carmel Bay cul-de-sac. The existing topography compliments such a
revision. This would eliminate one cul-de-sac and provide the proponent the
Carmel Addition Staff Report
3 October 21, 1981'
opportunity to plat large lots in lieu of the seven small lots.
The alignment for the 62nd Crosstown Freeway lies directly north of the property.
Twelve lots abut the right-of-way. The building pad elevations for these lots are
between 900 and 905. The preliminary design elevation for the Crosstown Freeway is
960. Noise impact and abatement information is needed in order to properly evaluate
the impact of noise from the Crosstown Freeway to the proposed Carmel development.
No sidewalks are proposed. Sidewalks are needed along the north side of Carmel
Drive and Carmel Lane. Also, a sidewalk should be placed on the west side of Carmel
Road up to Carmel Drive and on the north side of the recommended west extension
between Lots 8 and 9, Block 1.
The grading plan indicates cuts up to 30 feet with fills up to 15 feet. Slopes
ranging from 2-33% are proposed. Road grades range from 1-7.5%. No erosion control
or slope restoration information has been submitted. The site plan indicates
grading limits, which save a majority of the wooded and swamp areas while
maintaining the existing topographical character.
Storm water is to be outletted into the adjacent wetland areas. The storm water
then runs to a large wetland located west of Shady Oak Road, then eventually outlets
to Bryant Lake. A comprehensive storm water study is necessary in order to evaluate .
developmental impact.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends one of the following alternatives:
1. Denial for the zoning from Rural to R1-9.5 and preliminary plat for the
Carmel development.
2. Provide the proponent the opportunity to revise the development plan
requesting rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 with no variances and preliminary
plat subject to the following conditions:
A. Prior to City Council review, proponent shall:
1. Revise the preliminary plat to meet all lot requirements for
the R1-13.5 District.
2. Submit a tree inventory indicating the size, type, and
location of all trees lost with development.
3. Submit erosion control and slope stabilization information.
4. Submit grading limits and agree to place snow fencing along
the undisturbed areas.
5. Submit noise and impact information for Crosstown Freeway.
6. Submit comprehensive storm sewer information.
7. Revise the preliminary plat to delete Carmel Bay cul-de-sac
and dog-legging Carmel Court to the north.
Carmel Addition Staff Report 4 October 21, 1983
8. Reach agreement with the easterly property owners allowing
road right-of-way and utilities through the adjacent
property to service the Carmel development. The alignment
shall intersect with County Road #61 at the north City West
development access.
9. Revise the site plan providing a 50 foot right-of-way and an
improved road extension between Lots 8 and 9, Block 1 to the
west property line.
10. Revise the length of Carmel Road cul-de-sac not to exceed
the 500 foot maximum.
11. Revise the site plan placing five foot wide concrete
sidewalks along the north side of Carmel Drive and Carmel
Lane, on the west side of Carmel Road to Carmel Drive, and
on the north side of the recommended westerly extension
between Lots 8 and 9, Block 1. An eight foot wide
bituminous path shall be placed on the north side of Rowland
Road.
B. Prior to final plat, the proponent shall:
1. Submit detailed utility information to the Engineering
Department for review and aprpoval.
2. Receive approval for access to County Road #61 from Hennepin
County.
3. Receive Watershed District approval.
C. Prior to building permit issuance, proponent shall:
1. Receive a permit from Hennepin County to work within the
County right-of-way.
2. Pay the Cash Park Fee.
3. Construction limits within wooded areas shall be fenced with
snow fence. Trees removed or damaged outside of the
construction area must be replaced, caliper inch for caliper
inch.

Stormwater Management Plan
November 1983
Drainage Patterns
This area is hilly with natural depressions north and
east of the plat and within. The property west is 30 to 50
feet higher and partially drains toward the plat. A ponding
area within the plat overflows southeast to a large natural
holding area east of the plat which discharges through two
culverts under Old Shady Oak Road. The area between Old Shady
Oak Road and Shady Oak Road (Co. Rd. 61) overflows south through
another culvert under Old Shady Oak Road, to a drainage swale
discharging into Bryant Lake.
The City of Minnetonka Stormwater Management Plan includes
two discharges to the lowland north of the plat, which over-
flows to the holding area adjacent to the plat described above.
These will discharge through 36" and 42" RCP culverts under
the future Crosstown Freeway, designated as No. 593 and 594
respectively in this report; with 100-year discharges of 64 cfs
and 94 cfs. The 36-inch discharge is at the northwest corner
of the lowland and the 42" is 300 feet east of the east line
of the plat extended north.
Proposed Etormwater System
The proposed grading plan and preliminary utility layout
includes a stormsewer along Carmel Road, and catch basins on
the south leg of Carmel Circle, discharging into a pond
inside of Carmel Circle. The overflow for this pond is
through a storm sewer into the lowland north of the plat.
Two catchbasins for the north leg of Carmel Circle are on this
discharge pipe. Site grading would close the existing
overflow from Carmel Pond and raise the water level.
Carmel Pond:
2.4 Acres, Normal Water Level 896.00
420,000 cu. ft. storage (9.64 Ac. ft.), High Level 900.00

Re: Supportive matter to rezoning application for Carmel
1. The existing land use is agricultural.
2. The City has guided the iand for ;low density
residential.
3. Hans Hagen Homes, Inc. is requesting that the land be
rezoned from RU to R9.5.
4. The project will start immediately following plat
approval.
5. Hans Hagen Homes, Inc. will develop the land, build and
sell the homes with their own staff.
6. Please see enclosed brochures for architectural designs
we will use.
7. There will not be any legal instruments other than the
plat and abstracts or Title Insurance.
8. The building coverage shall be approximately 8% of the
total land area.
9. The County half section is shown on the preliminary
plat.
10. The adjacent land use is as follows:
North (City of Minnetonka) - Industrial
East - Residential
South - Residential and County Park
West - Residential and Agricultural
2353 Rice Street North
St. Paul Minnesota 55113
Phone 1612) 483.0801
We Build Dreams. I
11. The City guide plan is low density residential. The
plat is absolutely consistent with the City guide plan. The
average lot size is 18,500 square feet. The minimum square
front footage at the setback line is 80 feet except for
cul-de-sac lots. 47% of the lots are 90 feet at the setback
line.
12. The site constraints are numerous:
1. The elevation differential is over 65 feet and over
100 feet if adjacent land is considered.
2. Soil conditions are poor in many areas and need
substantial corrections.
3. Mature trees must be retained to save the character
of the site.
4. Most important, various parcels must be assembled
to meet the city guide plan, to provide a safe and
efficient street pattern.
5. Two single family residiences exist on the site and
must be retained.
The land is expensive, probably because of the industrial
development occuring to the North and to the East and also
because the property abutts Crosstown Freeway. The property
owners have previously been approached by land developers
who were promoting a land use that included high density
residential and office buildings.
The plat respects the existing land contours. Less than 17%
of the "swamp" area is disturbed and this is to accomodate a
reasonable street pattern.
The existin,„ drainage pattern will not change because we
have respectO the existing drainage swale and low ground.
Large lots, many of which will remain in the natural "wild"
condition will reduce the runoff associated with higher
density development negating the impact on adjacent land
owners. Virtually no storm sewer is re4uired which reduces
the cost of maintenance for the City.
All developments require compromise. Carmel is no
exception, however the only compromise that Carmel needs is
the acceptance of four cul-de-sacs. These were designed in
the plat because of the physical constraint of
topography,vegetation or natural ponding areas.
52,
1. Carmel Road - There is a natural pond on the East, a
freeway on the North and a 100 foot hill on the West.
2. Carmel Bay - There is a thick grove of trees on the
North and East and a pond just beyond the trees on the North
and East.
3. Carmel Court - This road could be extended to open the
land to the East.A temporary turn around be installed rather
than a permanent cul-de-sac, however it is our understanding
that the land owner to the East would prefer to retain the
property in an undeveloped state.
4. Carmel Circle - This area has trees and a severe drop
in topography to the North and East. Rowland Road is to the
South.
The economic constraint of the site consists of:
1. High land price
2. Poor soil conditions
3. Severe slopes
The use of the R9-5 zone provides sufficient flexibility in
side yards to permit the construction of larger homes and
still accomodates necessary sloping for drainage easements.
It is our opinion that Carmel will be one of the finest low
density single family neighborhoods in Eden Prairie. Homes
will range in price from $125,000.00 to $225,000.00. The
environment is being respected. Trees, slopes and ponds are
being saved. The City has enabled this to occur with the
newly designed R9.5 district.
Cordially,

Area facility membership rates
In response to the information requested by the Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission, staff surveyed a number of facilities in the area as
well as similiar types of facilities to see what types, if any, of memberships
they made available to their residents and non-residents for the useage of .
their facilities.
The types of facilities surveyed are classified into 4 categories:
#1 Swimming pools - indoor & outdoor
#2 Ice Arenas
#3 Private racquet clubs & the YMCA's
#4 Community Centers - as closely similiar as possible
In May of 1981, Staff surveyed the majority of these facilities as to membership
rates. Their rates for 1981 as well as current rates are shown on the attached
summary.
Concerning the Community Center's current membership rates, it should be noted
that we are entering our 3rd season of operation with no increase in our
membership rates.
Through discussions with individuals associated with the YMCA operation, staff
has realized that our membership decrease is a characteristic of our second year
membership offering. The trend for membership sales starts out very high - as
ours did the first year. The second year, sales will decrease by as much as
50%. The 3rd year should show an increase and the 4th year should show an
increase and plateau out.
The offering of non-resident memberships is to ultimately raise our 4th year
plateau.
Looking at the single, year membership rates for a resident: the individual must
ask, "how many times would I have to use this membership in order for it to
show me a savings over a daily use fee?"
-2-
The following breakdown shows how many weeks it would take to pay back a
membership cost if the individual used each aspect of his membership once
each week. The breakdown is for our current resident memberships and also
shows the proposed non-resident memberships.

A family membership costs less than 2 individual memberships, therefore making
that family membership more attractive in price as well as payback savings.
Another point to consider in establishing the higher rate for non-residents,
would be that the initial cost of the building is being paid by Eden Prairie
residents through their taxes. Membership fees were established to be a
benefit for the residents.

SUBJECT: Non-resident Membership sales at the Eden Prairie Community Center
In February of 1982, the Eden Prairie Community Center offered membership
sales for the use of the facilities to those individuals and families that
lived or worked in Eden Prairie. Six different combinations were offered
and patrons had the option of purchasing an individual or family type of
membership. In the year 1982, the Community Center sold 1,145 memberships
for a gross income of $71,875.23.
As of November 1, 1983, the Community Center has sold 646 memberships for a
gross income of $41,964.41. This represents a substantial decrease in member-
ship sales for this year.
. .
In an effort to increase income and participation in the membership area, staff
requests the City Council and Parks Commission to consider the sale of non-
resident memberships to the Community Center. These memberships would go on
sale as of January 1st, 1984 and would be offered on a 1 year trial membership
basis. The cost of these memberships would be 1/2 again as much as a resident
membership and would be pro-rated each month just as the resident membership.
An example would be as follows:
Individual Membership for swimming, skating, racquetball and the fitness
center would cost a resident $100.00. The same individual membership for a
non-resident would cost $150.00.
Staff can handle many more participants for open skating and swimming through-
out the year, as this is the major area for membership participation. Staff
could also anticipate additional concession revenues during these open times.

Cash Park Fees
In late 1978, the City Council increased the cash park fees to the existing level of
$250/unit for multi-family residential, $325/unit for single family residential and
$1,400/acre for commercial and office. Although, City staff have reviewed these fees
on an annual basis; staff has not recommended increasing these fees within the last
five year period due to the recession of the last several years..
The Community Services Staff are presently reviewing cash park fees for 1984. Staff
has contacted several second tier suburbs to compare cash park fees and have discussed
land values with the City Assessor.
The City Assessor has indicated that land values on unimproved residential property,
as well as office, commercial and industrial property have approximately doubled since
1978. Following is a list of second tier suburbs and the cash park fees existing in
1983 or proposed to begin on January 1, 1984:
,.CANIUNITY TYPE OF USE LAND DEDICATION CASH CONTRIBUTION

In the past, City staff negotiated
with developers as to the property
value of each development. In 1983
they hired independent appraisers
to determine the average market
value of commercial property and
industrial property. This average
will then be the basis for the 5%
fee.

Each community addresses the cash park fee or land dedication in a different manner based
on their philosophy regarding the developer's responsibility to assist in the development
of the park and open space system. Fees vary a great deal depending on this philosophy
and the land values in the respective communities. The majority of the communities con-
tacted charged either 10% or 5% for commercial/industrial property; the key question is
10% or 5% of what? Should the percentage be based on the assessed value, the market value.
the appraised value, and at what time should the value be determined - before zoning,
after zoning, before improvements such as road and sewer or after the assessments have
been levied?
The Community Services Staff requested the City Assessor to give his opinion of the aver-
age market value of unimproved industrial, office and commercial property after zoning
has been approved. The Assessor provided the following estimates:
Industrial - $1.85/sq. ft. = $80,586/acre
Office - $3.50/sq/ ft. = $152,460/acre
Commercial - $4.00/sq. ft. = $174,240/acre
The City of Eden Prairie presently charges $1,400/acre for industrial, office, and
commercial property. If we charge 10%, the maximum the ordinance allows, and if
we assume this should be 10% of the market value of unimproved property after zoning,
and if we assume the Assessor's values are true for all industrial, commercial and office
property; we would charge $8,000/acre for industrial, $15,000/acre for office and $17,000/
acre for commercial. Obviously, there should be an increase in fees, and there should
be a different rate for commercial, industrial and office; however, an increase to any-
thing approaching these fees would not be competitive with other communities and would
obviously be an unreasonable increase. The Community Services Staff suggested to the
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission that perhaps the amounts provided by
the City Assessor would be on the high end of the land costs in Eden Prairie for those
types of property, but might represent the difference in values between industrial,
office and commercial. Community Services Staff suggested using those fees and charging
2% rather than 10% for 1984. This would be a fee of $1,600/acre for industrial, $3,000/
acre for office and $3,400/acre for commercial.
Single family residential can be developed at a density of 2.5 units/acre. The City
Assessor indicated that single family residential property is selling for $20,000/acre;
10% would equal $2,000/acre for a fee. At 2.5 units/acre cash park fees would have to
be $800/unit to meet the maximum 10% value. The Community Services Staff would agree
that some single family residential property is selling for $20,000/acre, however, there
is also some single family residenital property selling at considerably less than $20,000/
acre. The Community Services Staff recommend charging half of that $800/unit charge
based on the $20,000/acre land cost; therefore, the single family fee for 1984 would be
$400/unit; this is a 23% increase for single family fees. A 23% increase for multi-
family fees would increase the rate from $250/unit to $305/unit.

On December 19, 1983, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommended
approval of the following fees for 1984:
Industrial - from $1,400/acre to $1,600/acre
Office - from $1,400/acre to $3,000/acre
Commercial - from $1,400/acre to $3,400/acre
Single Family Residential - from $325/unit to $400/unit
Multi-Family Residential - from $250/unity to $30$/unit
These fees are far below the maximum amount the City could charge on most properties;
however, they are similar to fees that are charged in other fast growing second tier
suburbs. The residential fees are in line with many communities. The commercial and
office are less than communities such as Brooklyn Park, Maplewood, Maple Grove, but are
higher than fees charged by Chanhassen, Eagan and possibily Burnsville (Burnsville has
a higher percentage but a lower value put on the property). Plymouth charges $2,200/acre
for commercial, industrial and office, therefore we would charge less for industrial and
more for commercial and office than Plymouth.
On December 29, Walt Carpenter and Dick Putnam discussed their concerns regarding this
proposed change to the ordinance with the City Manager and the Director of Community
Services. The major concern was that adjacent communities such as Bloomington and
Minnetonka have no fees for commercial and industrial and that a jump from $1,400/acre
to $3,400/acre for commercial is a substantial increase without having any discussion
from the affected property owners. They have requested that the City provide a forum
for discussion of these proposed increases.
The City Manager and the Director of Community Services recommend the Council consider
allowing the Development Commission to review this Proposed increase at their next
meeting on Friday, January 6, and to receive input from developers prior to their follow-
ing meeting, at which time they would make a recommendation to the City Council regarding
the proposed park fees.
