B. Report of City Manager
1. Joint Powers Agreement regarding proposed Municipal Legislative Commission
City Manager Jullie stated the basic idea of this agreement is for
several suburban communities with the same concerns as Eden Prairie
with respect to legislative issues to pool resources to hire an effective
lobbyist. He said these communities would represent about 400,000
people. He noted the financial commitment would be limited to $.25
per capita, with a $10,000 cap.
Bentley said he thought this was an excellent idea. Redpath asked
which cities would be a part of this group, Jullie indicated it would
Include Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Burnsville Eagan, Edina, Maple
Grove, Maplewood, Plymouth, Roseville, White Bear Lake, Woodbury, Minne-
tonka and Eden Prairie.

City Council Minutes -5- January 3, 1984
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to approve the Joint
Powers Agreement authorizing membership in the Municipal Legislative
Commission. Roll call vote: Anderson, Bentley, Redpath, Tangen
and Penzel voted "aye." Motion carried unanimously.
C. Report of City Attorney
City Attorney Pauly thanked the Council for reappointing him City Attorney
and said he looked forward to working with the City Council during the
coming year. He noted that during 1983 there were a total of 1800 arraign-
ments compared to 1200 in 1982, there were 185 written complaints, 440
pretrial hearings, and 74 actual trials during 1983.
D. Report of Director of Community Services
1. Community Center non-resident membership fees
Director of Community Services Lambert addressed a memorandum dated
December 15, 1983, in which membership rates were reviewed.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt non-resident
membership fees as outlined in the December 15, 1983, memorandum.
Motion carried unanimously.
2. Cash Park Fees
Director of Community Services Lambert indicated cash park fees had
not been raised since 1979. He called attention to a memorandum dated
December 30, 1983, in which cash park fees of second tier suburbs were
reviewed. Lambert recommended this be referred to the Development Commis-
sion for its review and recommendations.
Redpath said he sees a need for cash park fees and the necessity for
increasing them but would like further input by the Development Commission.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to instruct Staff to review
this proposal with the Development Commission with recommendations from
that Commission to be returned to the Council no later than the March
6, 1984, Council meeting.
Bentley said he felt this to be an expensive proposition which adds to
the cost of the homes and other development. Penzel said one must keep
in mind the principal users of the park system -- he noted the large
number of industrial-use employees who use the City parks.
Anderson said the City has a long range plan for parks. He noted that
funding, such as LAWCON grants, is no longer available and the funding
must now come from another source. He said he felt that the plans and
programs must be met in one way or another.
VOTE ON MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
City Council Minutes -6- January 3, 1984
VIII. C. Resolution No. 84-12 (continued - see page 4.)
Anderson expressed concern about Community Center fees being categorized
17 years and under and 18 years and older. He suggested that many high
school seniors are 18 and it would be nice if they could be included in
the lower rate.
There was discussion of Section 2.3 "live musicians". Bentley said he
felt this precludes live music in the City. City Manager Jullie explained
the rationale for this fee. Jullie said there may be a way to distinguish
between a private party and a public event. Staff was requested to further
examine this section and to return to the Council with a recommendation
at the March 6, 1984, meeting of the Council.
Bentley requested the wording regarding non-resident fees be changed to
read "150% of" rather than "50% over."
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Bentley, to adopt Resolution No.
84-12 as amended and published and pending further changes as noted.
Motion carried unanimously.
IV. A. CARMEL ADDITION by Hans Hagen Homes. (continued - see page 2.)
Hans Hagen, developer, addressed the proposal.
Director of Planning Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed
this project at its October 24, 1983, meeting and since that time had
reviewed a total of four plans. Plans were reviewed at the November 14,
1983, meeting and again on December 12, 1983. At its meeting an December
12th the Commission had voted to recommend approval subject to the recommen-
dations included in the October 21, 1983, Staff report which was amended,
and according to the plans dated November 22, 1983.
Director of Community Services Lambert stated the Park and Open Space
Plan has never shown a park in this area due to the Bryant Lake Park;
now that this is a regional park, the City is looking at a park to serve
the neighborhood. He said review of this proposal had included looking
at taking land in lieu of cash park fees. He recommended an appraisal
be made to see what the value of the property is. Lambert indicated there
were areas with steep grades which are undevelopable. He noted this would
be a 14 acre parcel of which 4.1 acres would be developable and would become
the park area. Lambert said the City should not have to pay more than
$20,000 for this parcel since the soil conditions and grades make the
piece undevelopable; these areas would be left in their natural state.
Redpath asked about the change from 9.5 to 13.5 residential zoning. Enger
said it was felt a PUD allowed that type of change to occur but this is
really a 13.5 subdivision and further lot splits would not be requested
under this zoning.
/6/
City Council Minutes -7- January 3, 1984
Bentley said he would abstain from voting on this proposal but had some
concerns he wished to express. He asked if it was appropriate to open
this area to development at this time or is it premature, where is the
stub road to the north going to go if it cannot go through the park,
and he questioned the number of cul-de-sacs in the proposal. He said
he felt it was an excellent project overall, but was concerned about
these three areas. Enger said this type of of terrain lends itself to
cul-de-sacs. Enger said the City will further examine the connection
of the stub road which had already been looked at and no solution had
been found.
Redpath asked how much work had been done with the neighbors. Hagen
said he had discussions with the Pavelkas to the east and Clifford
•Bodin to the south. He noted the concerns of both neighbors. He said
a portion of the property to the south, owned by the Drs. Farber, had
been included in the Carmel proposal. He said he has not had any per-
sonal conversations with the Holaseks to the west, but would provide
access to their property. Hagen said he had contacted the people to the
north to see if they wished to sell and include their property in the
proposal and they were not interested. The Bodins had expressed concern
about the development -- they do not wish to have utility connections
made and would prefer the status quo be maintained.
Penzel asked Director of Public Works Dietz if the utilities would be
gravity feed or lift stations. Dietz said gravity feed are proposed
and the actual route had not yet been established. Penzel asked Enger
about the dead end to the west. Enger said Hagen did not feel it was
fair for his development to bear the cost of the connections; he would
provide the right-of-way however. Penzel asked what the proposed difference
in elevation would be between this development and the Crosstown. Enger said
the Crosstown extension would be about 40 higher than what is proposed.
Penzel asked if there would be access to the Bernardi property. Lambert
said there would be no direct access. Penzel aksed if a sector plan had
been done for this area; he noted he was not ready to make any zoning changes
or other permanent plans for adjoining property owners, but felt something
should be done on an area-wide basis. Enger said Staff had reviewed the
properties in the sector; it was determined that the Carmel proposal would
set the tone for future development in this sector. Enger reviewed the
landholdings in the area.
Penzel asked where the storm drainage overflow goes. Enger said it was
surface flowage and goes north; this would not be changed by the development.
Penzel asked whose property west of Shady Oak would have to be crossed to
extend the sewer into this area. Enger said it would be the Uherka property.
Dean Holasek, 6475 Rowland Road, said this is a nice plan. He said the
neighbors, however, have different ideas as to what should be done with
this property. He said he does not like to see the hills developed and
would prefer multiple dwelling units. Holasek said he would like to see
this proposal referred back to Staff for more neighborhood input. He
asked if Rowland Road could be tied into the Hennepin County Park Reserve
City Council Minutes -8- January 3, 1984
District in some way. He suggested a ponding system to help with the
run-off from the Crosstown. Holasek expressed concern about the location
of the park on the northern end of the project.
Hagen said he had worked with the neighbors. He said he felt decisions
regarding the development had been made consistent with soil conditions
and topography. He said he felt the only impact Carmel Addition would
have on the properties to the west would be to establish land use in
the area.
Redpath asked if consideration had ever been given to carriage homes in
this area. Hagen said they really had not given carriage homes consider-
ation because they felt this was an excellent location, only 15 minutes
from downtown, and would support high quality single family residences.
He said lower cost, high density would sell very well in this area also.
Enger said the Comprehensive Guide Plan shows low density single family
residential in this area. He noted that successful transitions have
been made in other areas of the City and he would not be surprised if the
property to the east of this came in for development in something other
than single family.
Karen Torjesen, 6605 Rowland Road, said she felt the general plan for
this sector does not provide for enough options; other options are
available rather than 13.5 zoning. She said she would prefer to see much
larger lots or density trade-offs.
Julia Larson, 6509 Rowland Road, stated she has lived at that address for
40 years. Ten years ago her son-in-law wanted to build townhouses on
their property. This was turned down by the City; industrial .use on their
property has also been turned down. She said now they have a buyer who
wishes to develop it according to the Guide Plan and now they are getting
complaints from the neighbors. She asked if they would have to wait 10 -
20 more years while the Holaseks and Pavelkas decide whether or not they
wish to develop their property. Larson said she felt their proposal should
be given fair consideration since it fell within the Guide Plan.
Roger Farber, 6525 Rowland Road, gave his reasons for including a portion
of his property in with the proposed development; the main reason being
this would allow the only developable area of his property to be developed.
Redpath noted that the City Council has in the past requested the developer
to meet with the neighbors. He said he would like to request Staff to meet
with the developer and the neighbors to see what can be worked out as well
as to find out how the neighbors might like to develop their properties.
He said he liked Hagen's plan for the area, Penzel said he basically
concurred with Redpath. He said he would like to see the Council give this
a first reading while requesting Staff to meet with the neighbors. He
expressed concern about the connection of sewer and water through the
Pavelka piece. Penzel said he does not see any benefit in multiple develop-
ment in this area.
It 3
City Council Minutes -9- January 3, 1984
Bentley said he would like to see an over-all development plan for
this area of the City.
Tangen said this is a sector of the City for which 13.5 zoning has been
requested and for which the neighbors are requesting something higher.
He noted that in the northwest sector of the City, the residents were
opposed to higher densities when they were proposed and only wanted to
have 13.5 zoning allowed. He said he would support the proposal as
presented this evening. He expressed concern about the fact that the
adjacent property owners were concerned about the impact of this on their
properties.
Ken Biersdorf, realtor, representing the Uherkas of 6301 Shady Oak Road,
had a question regarding the road connection of City West Parkway west of
Shady Oak Road. Dietz said there have not been final plans made for the
connection, but this would be the logical place for a connection. Just
how the Uherka parcel is to be develop will have an impact on where the
connection is made as well as the location of utilities.
Bentley said he thought the Planning Commission had considered the
appropriateness of the land use on the ajoining properties.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public Hearing
and to adopt Resolution No. 84-02, approving the development of Planned
Unit Development of Carmel Addition for Hans Hagen Homes. Motion carried
with Bentley abstaining.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Anderson, to give 1st Reading to Proposed
Ordinance No. 84-01, rezoning. Motion carried with Bentley abstaining.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt Resolution No. 84-03,
approving the preliminary plat of Carmel Addition for Hans Hagen Homes, Inc.;
and to direct Staff to prepare a Developer's Agreement taking into consider-
ation the recommendations included in the Staff Reports and those of the
Commissions, to include the stub road connections both north and south,
to preclude the use of knock-down barriers, to have an appraisal made on
the park property, as well as other items of concern expressed by the Council
this evening. Motion carried with Bentley abstaining on the portion dealing
with the preliminary plat and voting "aye" on the preparation of the Develop-
er's Agreement.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Bentley, to direct Staff to call a
meeting of the landowners to discuss potential uses of those parcels and
to have Director of Public Works Dietz review the potential location of
utilities and the impact this will have on the road connection from New
Shady Oak Road westward to Old Shady Oak Road. Motion carried unanimously.
Penzel recommended the neighbors find a new name for Old Shady Oak Road.
It was his feeling that the property owners should decide on this.

City Council Minutes -2- January 10 1984
Redpath noted the Bren Farm property as an example where a minimum amount
of grading was required and was approved prior to final approval. Penzel
said he agreed with Bentley and suggested Staff be instructed to develop
a set of criteria under which this might be judged. He said undue hardship
should have to be required -- and this should be quite restrictive so that
it would not involve more than one out of twenty plats. This set of criteria
would then remove the subjectivity from the decision. Tangen agreed this
should be referred to Staff so a policy might be developed.
2. Knock-down barriers - the consensus was that knock-down barriers will no
longer be allowed. Staff was directed to provide the Council with an
inventory of existing knock-down barriers as well as data as to what would
be necessary to connect these to the existing/proposed street system.
3. Bond amount for grading permits - Director of Public Works Dietz reviewed
City practice as it now is. Penzel indicated the intent of the Council
was to have a bond of $25,000 with an option for this to be higher; the
premise being that in a large scale building project, $25,000 would not
restore much of the property if it were done in error or improperly or
in violation of existing agreements. Redpath asked if withholding a
building permit until a grading situation were corrected would be an
appropriate measure. City Attorney Pauly said it is a technique which
could be used however by the time the failure to complete the grading
becomes apparent, the building permit has usually been issued. He said
he felt a letter of credit or a bond would be the only security and way.
of enforcing the matter with any specificity. Bentley said he felt the
Staff Reports from the Planning Department and Community Services Depart-
ment as well as the recommendations from the Planning Commission and the
Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission gave the City Council a
good idea as to what amenities should be protected. He felt it was up
to the Council to be more judicious in what is being protected. The
consensus was to refer this to the Director of Public Works so that
criteria might be developed -- not much grading is expected before March.
4. Call-out of Public Works crew - Penzel called attention to a memorandum
dated December 30, 1983, which addressed the guidelines now used for call-
ing out public works crews. City Manager Jullie said he would like every-
one to understand what the policy and procedure for doing this is.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Tangen, to adopt the following policy
regarding calling out public works crews;
The following guidelines will be used when contacting on.call
Public Works Supervisor for snow removal and sanding.
(1) Inclemert weather necessitates a general sanding of
the entire City for rush hour. Call on-call person at
3:00 a.m.
(2) Inclement weather necessitates a general plowing of the
entire City before rush hour. Call on-call person at
2:00 a.m.
16/1
VOTE ON MOTION. Motion carried unanimously.
I oZ
City Council Minutes -3- January 10, 1984
(3) As you drive around the City you find hazardous spots
(ice or snow drifting) that would not require calling
out entire Public Works Department.
a) If before 10:00 p.m. call on-call person. Public
Works will send out one or two trucks.
b) If after 10:00 p.m. wait until 5:00 a.m. and have
Dog Watch car notify on-call person at that time.
(4) An emergency condition arises - (i.e.: Fire Department
use of water creates ice conditions, water leak, etc.)
call out Public Works no matter what time.
Motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Anderson arrived at 8:15 p.m.
5. Snow removal policies - park/trails -
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt the following
policy regarding snow removal:
(1) Snow removal from trails leading to schools where children
are required to walk to school.
(2) Snow removal from hockey rinks and skating rinks.
(3) Snow removal from jogging trails around Round Lake and Staring
Lake.
(4) Snow removal from the remaining trails along the following roads:
a. County Road 4
b. Valley View Road
C. County Road 1
d. Mitchell Road
e. Anderson Lake Parkway
Director of Community Services Lambert stated he had discussed this with
the school administration because some students must use the trails to
get to and from school -- particularly the Round Lake Trail and the.Holly
Road sidewalk. Penzel said a trail should be built along Duck Lake Road
south of Duck Lake Trail -- this is used by students going to the High
School. Lambert said the change in the proposed policy from that which
is now in effect is that trails leading to schools will receive the high.
est priority. Equipment used to remove snow was discussed; the need for
upgrading equipment was expressed.
City Council Minutes -4- January 10, 1984
6. Tree program policy - handling storm damaged trees - Director of
Community Services Lambert said the City has the ability to do what
is necessary after a "normal" wind-damage storm. The program policy
as outlined in the January 6, 1984, memorandum was discussed. Bentley
suggested, in the budgetary process, the possibility of establishing a
contingency fund for out-of-the-ordinary storm damage be examined.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt the following tree
program policy for the handling of storm damaged trees.
If, as the result of a storm (high winds, electrical, heavy snow or sleet),
a tree or portion of a tree falls, the City, if feasible, will respond as
follows:
(1) Debris falls into or unto roadway - City crews will clear the debris
from street by necessary means to ensure safe vehicle passage. Notify
any utility companies if overhead lines are affected.
(2) Accurately record the tree location by street address and report infor-
mation to the Forester. City Forester will determine the ownership of
the tree and implement appropriate steps.
a. Public Property Trees
I) Tree obstructs roadway or bikeway (sidewalk) - City crew
will clear all debris; if remaining part of tree is unsoand
it will be removed. Any damage to blacktop, curb, etc. will
be reported to the Street Department.
2) Tree falls onto private property - (same as above.) In
addition, Forester will contact City insurance agent if
damage to private property warrants a claim (i.e. damage
to house, automobile, etc.)
3) Tree falls within public property - Tree will be cleaned
up by park's tree crew - damage repaired where necessary.
b. Private Property Trees
1) Tree falls on road or bikeway (sidewalk) - If called, City
crew will clear debris from the travelled surface, otherwise
property owner is responsible for cutting. Homeowner may
cut debris into 7 - 15 foot lengths, stack adjacent to road
and call the City for pickup. (NOTE - City must be called -
same as the tree disease program.)
The following is referred to Staff for further recommendations: b, 2)
Tree falls within private property - property owner is responsible for
cutting, etc. City will haul if cut in proper lengths, piled by road-
side and called by homeowner.
Motion carried unanimously.

City Council MinutPc -5- January 10, 1984
7. Administrative divisions/duplex lots - 10% administrative variance authority
City Manager Jullie noted the problems which have been presented with the
present Ordinance. He stated City Attorney Pauly had suggested that the
Ordinance be amended so that the minimum lot size for a duplex lot could
be 6000 square feet.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to direct Staff to proceed
with an amendment to the City Code which would ease the administrative
division of duplex lots. Motion carried unanimously.
8. Number of Public Hearings on Council agendas City Manager Jullie asked
if the Council wished to consider limits as to the number of Public Hearings
Included on one Council Agenda. Bentley said the Planning Commission has
put a limit of three new projects at a given meeting; this has created a
backlog in the Planning Department. Penzel suggested perhaps it is time
for the Council to again meet with the various commissions at which time
this could be discussed. Redpath noted that the Council sometimes gets
Itself in a bind when it continues a Hearing and others are already
scheduled for the time to which others have been continued. Penzel said
perhaps the Council will have to start meeting more frequently if there
is too much of a backlog. Enger said, as a practical matter, the manner
in which the Planning Commission is now operating has helped spread out
the load. The consensus was to not limit the number of Public Hearings
on a City Council Agenda and to meet with all the City Commissions at a
date acceptable to the Commissions, sometime in March after new members
have been appointed.
9. Campaign sign policy - City Attorney Pauly noted the United States Supreme
Court will be deciding on a case which it heard in October regarding a
campaign sign case in Los Angeles. Pauly recommended the Council wait
for the outcome of this before determining a policy for Eden Prairie.
Bentley said if the Council does not come up with a policy now, it may
be construed as a political decision if made later. Penzel suggested
the Ordinance be amended to read that no campaign signs will be allowed
within 10' of the curb line in any subdivision. Redpath said he would
concur with that. City Manager Jullie asked how that might be enforced.
Bentley said he thought a provision should be included whereby no sign
could be erected within 48 hours of the opening of the polls. Pauly
said that was not possible. Anderson noted that garage sale signs and
other non-campaign signs pose a problem also. Pauly said it is very hard
to determine who puts up most of the signs and therefore hard to prose-
cute. He noted that the present ordinance has not proved unsuccessful.
Staff was instructed to draft an amendment to the City Code which will
include all signs.
City Council Minutes -6, January 10, 1984
10. Timetable for new City Hall - Penzel noted the problems/drawbacks in
not meeting at City Hall and having Staff meetings away from City Hall.
Tangen asked when the City would be able to put forth a bond issue which
would be acceptable to the electorate what is the City's ability to
pay for a new City Hall. Redpath said he would not like to see a bond
issue until after the tax increment financing levy is removed from the
mill levy: he did think the City could go ahead with plans for a new
buildinn. Penzel said he felt the City's total needs for capital ex-
penditures should be looked into -- such as improvements to the Community
Center and the need for additional fire stations. Finance Director Frane
said a $2 1:, million referendum would cost the owner of a $100,000 home
$20 per year in additional taxes. Bentley said he would
like to see what our needs are, possible design -- not hiring an archi-
techt, but preliminary in-house review, and what approximate cost might
be (range) based on that criteria; once that has been determined, then
possible sources of revenue could be looked at to determine how this
minht be accomplished. Tangen said he would like to see an entire long-
term capital improvements program examined. May 1st was set as the date
to come back to the Council with the requested information.
11. When should platting be required? - City Manager Jullie said Staff is
suggesting that, in the long term, it might be best to require platting
on all properties. This would not include single-family lots on a single
piece of ground.
MOTION: Tamen moved, seconded by Bentley, to approve the recommendation
of Staff and require all properties, excluding single-family lots on a
single piece of ground, to be platted. Motion carried unanimously.
12. Material required for rezoning application - Planning Director Enger said
the Planning Department has a list of procedures which it presently uses
and finds to be workable. The concensus was to continue as is. There
was a question as to whether or not all proposals which go before the
Planrinn Commission also are reviewed by the Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission. Director of Community Services Lambert said that
has been a difficult issue because some do not need action by the Parks
Commission. He said he has been sending some items to that Commission
so that they will be aware of what is going on. Anderson said he thought
the present procedure is working very well.
13. Developer's Anreement vs. Summary Resolution - Planning Director Enger
111 1 1111 11 1:1 1111 .11 ‘ur 'fo)
eliminate Developer's Agreements where there was a straight forward
proposal. He said this takes a workload off the Planning Department
and is helpful to the developer. A Summary Resolution, or no resolution
as has been suggested by City Attorney Pauly, could be done in those
cases. Enger said he is looking at the Code and might recommend a site
plan review process; this would be enabling legislation and is now done
as a cooperative effort. Penzel said his concern is with the number of
items which require publication. Pauly said the summary of the Developer's
Agreement is now being published. Staff was directed to draft an amendment
to the City Code to reflect the site review process.
City Council Minutes -7- January 10, 1984
14. Exterior materials -
15. Landscaping requirements -
16. Variances -
17. Parking - height - materials - setbacks -
Enger summarized the policy regarding exterior materials as outlined
in a memorandum dated November 29, 1983. He said further refinement
is needed but this will be presented tothe Planning Commission for its
review before coming back to the Council to be adopted as a policy
document. Redpath said requiring all brick buildings in an area
can make the area less interesting. Enger said he felt the policy
will reinforce the existing ordinance.
Enger said Staff will recommend some minor changes to the landscaping
portion of the City Code. Anderson said he would like some provision
made to not allow "pest" trees (e.g. box elder and cottonwood.) Tangen
said perhaps this could be reviewed by the City Forester.
Enger referred to a memorandum dated November 30, 1983, from Jean Johnson,
Zoning Administrator. He suggested that the building height requirement
be modified in the Commercial-Regional-Service District (almost exclusively
limited to the Major Center Area.) He said he is aware of some proposals
which will be coming in for review which will require variances from
what is now allowed. Staff was directed to amend the Code as necessary.
Enger said the most common variance is a setback variance. He said going
to the Board of Appeals adds about 45 days to the process.
There was no further review of item 17,
18. Rural zoning district policy - Enger stated there will be requests before
the Board of Appeals by people who wish to subdivide property into parcels
of less than 10 acres; this is particularly true in the bluff's area.
City Attorney Pauly said perhaps the Council could create a conservation
easement along the bluffs in return for granting of variances; this would
be the opportunity for this to happen. Penzel said he thought there might
be two questions before the Council. Does the Council wish to change the
policy frcin 10 acre lots -- "no;" and does the Council wish to change the
process for the granting of variances with the potential of gaining some
thing -- "this would be in the best interest of the community." Bentley
pointed out that a person has the right to appeal the decision made by the
Board of Appeals by coming before the Council, Pauly noted that a con-
servancy easement holds more because it is recorded whereby if this were
done via ordinance it could be changed. Bentley suggested bringing together
property owners along the bluffs to see if they have some common concerns.
Redpath said he felt a lot had been accomplished over the years through
trade offs and this was worth exploring.
19. Connection of streets - The consensus was that all streets should be
connected, where appropriate; all unnecessary cul-ce-sacs should be elimin-
ated; and neighborhoods should be connected,
1112
City Council Minutes -8- January 10, 1984
20. Sidewalks and trails - Enger said current policy is to require sidewalks
along one side of major roads, larger roads two sides, and along County
Roads blacktopped trails are required with a sidewalk on the other side.
Maintenance of trails is a problem as we get more of them. Anderson said
there is a need to connect areas of the City where there are major gaps
in the trail system. Director of Community Services Lambert said a
decision had been made that cash park fees are not used for building
transportation trails. The Parks, Recreation 1 Natural Resources Commis-
sion will talk about this at its next meeting in connection with requesting
funds from Mn/DOT. Penzel felt a sidewalk ordinance should be looked into.
Anderson said there is a great need for sidewalks along Mitchell Road north
of TH 5; this should be the responsibility of the City. Penzel suggested
this be included in the Community Improvement Program (CIP).
21. Wetland or lowland development - trees/tree replacement/gradina Enger
stated these are now looked at on a case by case basis. -The consensus
was to continue with the present practice. Anderson said he would like
to see a policy relative to the replacement of trees. Enger said this
is being worked on.
22. Density transfer - when allowed? - It was determined there is no hard
and fast rule on this; the Council makes this determination depending
on the merits of the project.
23. Guide Plan changes - This was determined to be a "no problem" area --
changes are sometimes deemed necessary based on outside circumstances.
24. EAW's - EIS's - Enger said they City has been conservative in this area
up to now. He noted the process is becoming very cumbersome and would
like to take a middle-of-the-road approach. The Council concurred.
25. Signs - Enger stated there has been a request for a moveable sign at
a shopping center. Various conditions under which this might be permitted
were discussed. Staff will study this further.
IV. NEW BUSINESS
There was none.

V. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. WELSH CONSTRUCTION. Request for rezoning of 3.27 acres from Rural to
C-Regional Commercial Service for an office building. Location: east
of the northeast corner of Prairie Center Drive and West 78th Street.
(Ordinance No. 02-84)
City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been published
and property owners within the project vicinity had been notified.
Paul Dunn, vice president of Welsh Construction, and David Shea, architect,
were present. Dunn spoke to the proposal and Shea presented the architect-
ural highlights.
Director of Planning Enger stated this proposal had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its December 12, 1983, meeting at which time it
voted to recommend approval subject to the recommendations included in
the December 9, 1983, Staff Report.
This proposal had not been reviewed by the Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission.
Redpath asked if outdoor advertising signs are allowed in this district.
Enger said they are. Enger noted that the proponent had originally requested
commercial zoning for this parcel, but came back and requested C-Regional
Commercial Service prior to going before the Planning Commission because
Naegele wished to have a sign easement on the property.
/116
City Council Minutes -3- January 17, 1984
Penzel said he was bothered by this concept of advertising signs. Enger
said he shared Penzel's concern; and noted that there was no request before
the City at this time for such a sign. Dunn explained that Naegele would
only sell the property to Welsh if Naegele could retain a sign easement;
this meant that Welsh had to apply for C-Regional Service zoning because
only under this are signs allowed. He said Welsh has done extensive research
on this and feels comfortable enough with the easement condition and hopes
there will never be a sign built based on other factors. Penzel said he
did not think it was as speculative as it seems. Enger said the terms of
the sale of land north of 1-494 in this vicinity are the same -- with Naegele
retaining rights to erect signs.
Bentley asked if the landscaping along West 78th Street is adequate to
screen the parking. Enger said it is. Bentley questioned the fire access
around the building. Enger said this had been reviewed by the Fire Marshal
and he indicated there was adequate circulation.
Anderson asked about the views to the south now. Enger said Anderson Lakes
are visible to the south and east.
City Attorney Pauly said the United States Supreme Court is now review-
ing a case regarding signs and a ruling is anticipated this Spring. He
suggested the Council wait to see what this brings.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Tangen, to close the Public Hearing
and to give 1st Reading to Proposed Ordinance No. 2-84. Motion carried
with Redpath voting "no."
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Tangen, to direct Staff to prepare
a Summary Resolution taking into consideration the recommendations included
in the Staff Report, the recommendations of the Planning Commission and
those of the Council. Motion carried unanimously.
B. VACATION OF EXCESS RIGHT-OF-WAY: West 78th Street, east of Prairie Center
Drive (Resolution No. 84-15)
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been published
in the Eden Prairie News.
Director of Public Works Dietz was prepared to address the proposal. Penzel
asked if this land might be needed for an overpass once TH 212 is built.
Dietz said that question had not been examined.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Bentley, to continue action on this
Item to the February 7, 1984, meeting of the City Council to allow Staff
additional time to review whether or not this property might be required
when TH 212 is constructed. Motion carried unanimously.
City Council Minutes -4- January 17, 1984
VI. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS NOS. 11516 - 11774

VII. REPORTS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS
A. Historical & Cultural Commission - Program plan for J. R. Cummins
Homestead
Jim Brown, member of the Historical & Cultural Commission, stated the
Commission has done some preliminary work on the marketing plan for
fund raising. He said the Council had earlier this evening appointed
Don Johnson to the Commission; Johnson's area of expertise is the field
of marketing and he will be assisting the Commission in developing a
detailed plan. Brown said the Commission would like budgeting approval
so it would be able to have funding available for marketing purposes.
He referred to a memorandum dated January 12, 1984, from Sandra Werts
regarding a program and marketing plan for the Cummins-Grill Homestead.
Brown noted that Commission member Will Eggan was also present this
evening; Werts was also present.
Penzel asked when a final marketing plan might be ready. Werts said
it would be presented to the Council at its February 21, 1984, meeting.
Redpath asked if it would be reasonable to think along the lines that
since we have some things done which now make the house more or less
safe, that further work be deferred until the funds are available to
pay for the work. These funds would then be raised by the Commission.
He said he did not know if the City should put more money into this
building. Brown said the Commission started out with the idea that it
wanted to raise some money but has run into brick walls since then. This
was the rationale for doing what has been done. Redpath said.he felt
a misunderstanding arose when the City Council purchased the More House.
The Restoration Committee was formed when repairs to the Cummins-Grill
House were deemed necessary and the City Council went along with this.
He said he felt the time has come for the Restoration Committee to assume
the responsibility for the house. Brown said the Committee wishes to raise
money to support the project; it needed to have the shell protected and
this has been done.
Bentley noted that an effort is being made through the Eden Prairie Foundati
o
n
to build an Eden Prairie Museum as the 2nd phase of the new library which wi
l
l
be constructed by Hennepin County in the Major Center Area. He said the vi-
ability for the Museum is very real. Bentley said the usage plan as propose
d
in the January 12th memorandum is a good one; he said he is bothered by the
proposal to rent the building out for wedding receptions.
City Council Minutes -5- January 17, 1984
Redpath asked what plans the City has for the More House. Director
of Community Services Lambert said the More House would be used as a
museum; the Cummins-Grill House would be used as a living museum. He
indicated if the Library is to be the repository for artifacts then the
issue will have to be reexamined. Brown said he felt the More House
would be used like the Sibley House in St. Paul - "look but don't touch";
while the Cummins-Grill House would be used as a "working museum" and
would demonstrate how life was in Eden Prairie at the turn of the century
or before.
Anderson said he thought the intent of the City was to preserve the
Cummins-Grill House so it would not deteriorate while waiting to be
restored. Lambert indicated normal maintenance for the House should
be covered by the rent; he did not expect to come back to the Council
for additional money. Tangen said he felt the Restoration Committee
had begun an effort towards raising funds and should be given an
opportunity to present its Plans.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue until February
21, 1984, the program plan for the Cummins-Grill Homestead which is to
be presented by the Restoration Committee of the Historical & Cultural
Commission. Motion carried unanimously.
VIII. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS & COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Council Members
Bentley - Suggested the Council become more involved in organizations
such as the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities (AMM). He noted
there are vacancies on the AMM Transportation Advisory Board and offered
to have his name submitted for appointment to such a post.
Penzel - Noted that a resident on Kurtz Lane had again complained about
a neighbor who raises bees. Tangen said he wondered if this was considered
a commercial venture in a residential zone. City Manager Jullie said this
issue has been raised in the past and has been referred to Zoning Administra-
tor Jean Johnson and Mark Johnson of the City Attorney's Office. They are
working on whether it is farming or a commercial venture. The Council will
be apprised of the situation when further information is available.
- Said he would recommend Staff to no longer support knock-down
barriers, but rather promote road connections. Bentley said he felt action
towards this end had been taken at the Special Meeting of the City Council
which was held on January 10, 1984. This was referred to Staff.
B. Report of City Manager
City Manager Jullie introduced Mike Franzen, who recently joined the
City Staff as Senior Planner.
City Council Minutes -6- January 17, 1984
C. Report of City Attorney
There was no report.
D. Report of Director of Community Services
1. Request for variance to construct a permanent dock in Bryant Lake
Director of Community Services Lambert referred to his memorandum
of January 12, 1984, in which the request was addressed. He noted
the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission had voted to
recommend approval at its meeting on January 16, 1984. He said none
of the proponents was able to be at tonight's meeting.
City Attorney Pauly said according to the Shoreland Management
portion of the City Code this should be referred to the Board of
Appeals and Adjustments for its review and recommendation to the
City Council.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to refer this item to
the Board of Appeals and Adjustments for its consideration. Motion
carried unanimously.
2. Mn/DOT Bikeway Construction Program
Director of Community Services Lambert noted his memorandum of
January 12, 1984, in which he spoke to the Mn/DOT Program. He
said the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission had
reviewed this at its meeting on January 16, 1984, and had voted
to recommend to the Council that $19,000 of liquor store profits
for 1984 be allocated for this as the City's matching funds.
City Manager Jullie stated that profits from the liquor store are
allocated to park and public safety uses. He said that the alloca-
tions have already been made for 1984; if matching funds were necessary
they would have to come from reserves.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to authorize
application for MnDOT,Bikeway Grant for Duck Lake Road and
Mitchell Road. If andwhen such funding is obtained, the
Council will determine the source of City matching funds.
Motion carried unanimously.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
There was none.
X. ADJOURNMENT
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Bentley, to adjourn the meeting at 9:02 p.m.

Donation from Viking Bassmasters Club
Attached is a letter from Robert Carlson, President of the Viking Bassmasters of
Eden Prairie indicating their wish to donate a fishing dock to the City of Eden
Prairie. This dock would be installed in Staring Lake on the west shore, just north
of the parking Lot. This is an area in the lake where many people fish from the
shore during the spring and early summer.
The dock would be a floating structure, anchored by 4" steel pipe. The dock would
not have to be removed from the lake in the fall and due to the heavy duty construc-
tion and design should require little maintenance.
This dock conforms to the Shoreland Management Ordinance, and due to the type of
structure does not require a Minnesota DNR permit (it does not use pilings).
City staff believe that this dock will provide many people hours of enjoyable fish-
ing opportunities and recommend that the City gratefully accept this generous donation.

Dear Mayor Penzel:
We, the Viking Bassmasters of Eden Prairie, a community-oriented fishing club,
are requesting authorization from your office and City Council, to undertake
a community project which we believe would help improve youth fishing oppor-
tunities in our city. To be specific, we would like to construct, install,
and donate a permanent fishing dock to the Eden Prairie Community Services
Department.
If approved, the structure would be located in the southwest corner of Starring
Lake, near the existing parking area and "canoe access." From the shoreline,
an 8-foot-wide walkuay would extend 68 feet into the lake and end in a "T-section"
30 feet wide. Total surface area of the dock would be approximately 730 square
feet. Construction, flotation and anchoring detail are provided in the enclosed
drawings.
After inspecting Minnesota D.N.R. records on Starring Lake, we are convinced
that it would provide excellent fishing opportunities. The lake contains panfish
such as bluegills, crappie, perch, bullheads, as well as an occasional pike and
bass. We arc certain that the Viking Bassmasters Starring Lake Dock Project
would provide Eden Prairie youth with a safe access for their fishing and
catching enjoyment for many years to come.
We thank you in advance for your approval of this project.
Respectfully,
Pobert J. Carlson, President
Viking Bassmasters of Eden Prairie

RE: Designation of Depositories - Resolution 84-30
Proposals were sent to the 4 banking institutions in Eden Prairie;
3 were returned. The fees proposed by the Norwest Bank were very
excessive in comparison to Suburban and First State. Notwest,
therefore /was not given further consideration.
The two proposals were analized and we determined that the best
situation for the City would be to have the general account at
Suburban and the payroll account at First State. This is acceptable
to both banks.

Planning Commission Minutes 2 January 9, 1984
At its meeting of December 12, 1983, the Planning Commission had
continued the public hearing for the Planned Unit Development
Concept Amendment of this project. At this time, additional
requests were being made. Mr. Ron Erickson, Korsunsky, Krank,
Erickson, architects for proponent, reviewed the revisions to the
Concept Plan and the additional requests.
Mr. Erickson stated that the buildings were intended to be owner-
occupied, not leased. He gave brief descriptions of the building
owners for the first phase of the development, including, Lectech, a
firm dealing with high-tech medical accessories, Scamp, a computer
software and hardware company, and an office building.
Regarding the parking arrangements for the buildings, Mr. Erickson
stated that he would like the opportunity to work with Staff to
settle on locations which would be more acceptable. He stated that
he felt it was a situation that could be easily mitigated. Mr.
Erickson asked for consideration of two feet less at the perimeter
of the parking lot for the Lectech building, however.
Mr. Erickson added that, as with Phase I, the subsequent phases of
the development would be brought in for Commission and Council
review at such time as the occupants were known.
Planner Enger reviewed the concerns of the Commission from the
December 12, 1983, meeting, and reviewed the recommendations of the
Staff Report of January 6, 1984. He pointed out that the Commission
had been concerned about the boundary lines of the project as they
affected the designated High Density Residential site to the north.
Planner Enger stated that this had been resolved and that additional
work would be done to provide a possible shared access between the
north phase of the Primetech development and the High Density
Residential site.
Planner Enger reported that the Commission had expressed concern
regarding the percentage of office space within the structures,
versus, the percentage of warehouse/assembly space. At the
previous meeting, Mr. Erickson stated that 65% would be an
appropriate amount of minimum office space. This plan met that
requirement, with the exception of the Lectech building.
The Commission had also expressed concern that the looped road
through the site be a public road, rather than private. Proponents
were still requesting a private road through the site.
Planner Enger stated that Staff would be willing to work with the
proponent to relocate parking areas on the site, adding that it
would be important not to diminish the width of the parking lot for
the reason of snow storage. Also, a deed rostriction from Anderson
Development, Inc., would be required regarding limitation of median
cuts to the property for future additions of the Primetech
development and adjacent portions of the overall City West Planned
Unit Development.
21?
Planning Commission Minutes 3 January 9, 1984
Chairman Bearman asked why the private looped road had not been
proposed as a public road. Planner Enger stated that this would
require meeting front yard setbacks for all of the buildings.
Chairman Bearman expressed concern for maintenance of a private .
road. Planner Enger stated that, in situations such as this, snow
removal became a much more intensive activity. Snow would likely be
removed from the site to remote locations. Chairman Bearman asked
if there would be association documents available to make the
building owners responsible for such maintenance. Mr. Chuck
Tuchfarber, proponent, stated that there would.
Chairman Bearman asked if, other than for snow removal purposes, the
private street met the public road standards. Staff responded that
City width and curbing standards were requested due to the amount of
traffic this private road would be handling, which would be equal to
a City street.
Chairman Bearman asked what types of uses would be allowed to occupy
the Lectech building in the event that the building would be vacated
by Lectech. He stated that he was concerned -about other types of
industrial uses being allowed to occupy the structure. Staff
responded that there were restrictions in the association documents
which covered this. Mr. Tuchfarber stated that the restrictions in
the association documents included a provision against any polluting
type of industrial use and read a list of items which were allowed
from the proposed association documents.
Chairman Bearman asked where the services for the number of
employees generated by this development would be located. Planner
Enger responded that ADI, developers of the City West project, were
working on plans for the amenities for the area, including
restaurants and other service uses complimentary to such a
development. Mr. Tuchfarber stated that there may be a restaurant
in subsequent phases of the Primetech development.
Marhula asked if the entire development would be office condominiums
such as shown for the first phase. Mr. Erickson responded that it
would he much like the first phase. Marhula asked if the ownership
would be typical association ownership with the association members
owning the buildings and the land under them. Mr. Erickson stated
that they would be responsible for their respective parking areas as
well.
Chairman Bcarman asked if the City Council had offered any direction
as to private roads used by the public. Staff responded that they
had not as yet. Chairman Bearman asked if the association would be
required to post a bond with the City in the event of the City being
required to handle any maintenance on the site. Staff stated that
this had not been done, but that it could be handled in the
developer's agreement for the property. Staff added that should the
association default, the City would take over maintenance and assess
the costs back to the benefitting properties.

Motion carried--5-0-0
Mr. Erickson asked if the Commission would consider allowing the 65%
of office space figure as a guideline, as opposed to a rigid figure.
He stated that by making it part of the deed restrictions, financing
of the project may be a difficulty. Staff responded that it was
intended as a guideline to be used for the Planned Unit Development,
not necessarily a strict and rigid figure. Johannes stated that he
agreed with use of the 65% of office space figure as a guideline,
adding that if the structure fits the development, it would not be a
major consideration if the percentage of office was not exactly 65%.
He emphasized that the buildings and usages must fit the
development, however.

STAFF PRESENT:
B. PRIMETECH, by Prime Development and M R Properties. Request
for Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment for a twenty
(20) acre office park to be known as Primetech Park, in the
City West Planned Unit Development. Location: West of
Highway 169/212, north of Shady Oak Road. A public hearing.
Mr. Ron Erickson, Korsunsky, Krank, Erickson, Architects,
representing proponents, reviewed the request with the Commission.
Mr. Erickson explained the types of tenants for which the buildings
were being designed, including coTputer assembly and programming
companies, research and development companies, and other office
users. He added that potential corporate headquarters sites would
22-2-
Planning Commission Minutes • '2 December 12, 1983
be made available as well.
Mr. Erickson stated that he was aware of concern by the City that a
portion of the site was encroaching upon a previously designated
High Density Residential site within the overall City West Planned
Unit Development. He stated that, upon review, they had ascertained
that they were not encroaching upon the residential property.
Mr. Erickson added that all sides of all buildings would be brick.
He pointed out that the Concept Plan shown, while giving general
locations for the buildings, did not intend to represent exact
locations of buildings as the soils in the area may dictate
alternate locations.
Regarding the item in the Staff Report referring to a minimum of 75%
office use for the total site, Mr. Erickson stated that proponent
would request that it be changed to 65%. This would allow for up to
35% of the site to be used for warehousing space, assembly or
testing functions, and storage for high tech types of tenants.
Planner Enger reviewed the recommendations of the Staff Report
regarding this project. He stated that, due to the locations of the
buildings as noted on the Concept Plan, a lift station would be
required to service the property with public sewer. It was
suggested that amendment to the plan would eliminate the need for
the lift station. Planner Enger stated that there was still concern
as to whether the project encroached upon the designated High
Density Residential of the approved City West Planned Unit
Development.
Staff pointed out that the proposal appeared to have a greater
amount of ground cover than the approved Planned Unit Development
Concept for City West; however, upon calculation, it was found that
the floor area ratio was less than the maximum approved for the City
West Concept.
Planner Enger stated that the City Code anticipated 100% office use
within the Office Zoning District. Based on review of office
buildings, it was found that some portion of all office buildings
was allocated towards storage space, shipping and receiving, copying
area, etc. Based on this, the minimum of 75% office use was
suggested by Staff.
Chairman Beaman stated that he felt it was important to note that,
with this proposal, approximately 50% of the original City W2st
Planned Unit Development had been am2nded. He questioned whether
allowing less than 100% office for this area would be appropriate
and how such a structure would fit the zoning ordinance
requirements.
Schuck stated that he felt it would be difficult for the City to
lose the potential for such projects based on a percentage figure.
If the project fit the site and the basic intentions of the area, he
stated that he did not feel the exact percentage was important.
223
Planning Commission Minutes 3 December 12, 1983
Johannes stated that he agreed with Schuck, that a fixed percentage
was not appropriate in this case. He stated that he felt the key to
such projects would be how the buildings looked and matters such as traffic impacts, as opposed to exact percentages.
Chairman Bearman stated that he was concerned that the area would
become an industrial park as opposed to an office park.
Hallett stated that he felt flexibility would be probable, dependent
upon the plan; but he concurred that an exact percentage was
inappropriate.
In response to the questions raised, Mr. Erickson stated that they
would immediately review the boundary to determine whether there was
any encroachment upon the designated High Density Residential area
of the original City West Planned Unit Development. Screening of
the rooftop mechanical equipment for the structures would be
architecturally integral with the structures' materials and design.
Mr. Erickson stated that 65% would be an acceptable minimum of
office use within the structures, but that he felt 75% would be too
restrictive.
Chairman Beaman asked for comments and questions from members of
the audience. There were none.
MOTION 1:
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Schuck, to continue the
public hearing pending resolution of issues discussed at the
meeting.
Gartner stated that she felt a guideline of 75% would be appropriate, but that if proponent felt less than 75% should be
used, each building could be reviewed on an individual basis.
Planner Enger stated that he intended the 75% figure to be used only
as a guideline for development of the site.
Chairman Beaman stated that he felt it was imperative that the
issue of encroachment upon the High Density Residential site within
the City West Planned Unit Development Concept be resolved prior to
further discussions. He added that he felt the private looped road
through the site should be a public street.
Hallett concurred with Chairman Beaman regarding the private street
being public.

(NOTE: Refer to December 9, 1983, Planning Staff Report, attached.)
Background
The request for a Planned Unit Development Concept change came to the Planning
Commission in December, 1983, and was returned to the proponent for revision
according to the Staff Report of December 9, 1983. The developer has provided
additional information with the revised submission answering questions brought out
In the December 9, 1983, Staff Report and in the Planning Commission review of the
project.
Questions regarding relationship of this project to the planned housing to the
northwest have been answered. Additional information has been supplied on the
comparison of the amount of green space provided in this plan as compared to the
approved Planned Unit Development Concept Plan. The buildings along the U. S. #169
frontage have been relocated further west to the higher ground, in order to
eliminate need for a lift station to serve these buildings with public sewer. The
developer has also provided additional information indicating the exact location of
median cuts in City West Parkway. A pedestrian sidewalk system has been added to
the project, and a description of treatment of mechanical equipment has been
supplied.
221
Primetech Staff Report 2 January 6, 1984
Land Use
As stated in the Staff Report of December 9, 1983, the floor area ratio of office
space approved for the property adjacent to U. S. #169 was 0.26, and the proposed
plan is 0.23 floor area ratio, making it consistent in office density with the
approved Planned Unit Development Concept. Although • the new plan has a higher site
coverage than the proposed Concept Plan, there will still be approximately 36% open
space, which is reasonable for this type of development. In addition, it is
expected that the amount of research and development space, warehouse space,
shipping and receiving, or, assembly space within the overall Planned Unit
Development may be as high as 35%. As the percentage of non-office space increases
In the Planned Unit Development, the requirement for parking at five spaces per
1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area will likely be decreased. This should allow the
Increase of green space in areas such as along the interior loop road.
The overall Planned Unit Development Plan relies upon a private looped street system
for access to City West Parkway. In additional information which has been supplied
by the proponent, we have been made aware that the planned access points do not
correspond to existing median cuts in City West Parkway. We have spoken with the
proponent about this and they have agreed to relocate their southern-most access
sixty-two feet further north to align with the existing median cut in City West
Parkway. A sketch has been supplied by the proponent to illustrate this small site
plan change.
The central main access would require another median cut, and is acceptable to the
City Planning and Engineering Staff, if an enforceable restriction against access
coming from the west side of City West Parkway can be obtained. If access were to
be taken from the west side of City West Parkway at the location of the central
median cut, it would occur on the inside radius of a curve, which is very tight, and
which would be unacceptable from a sight distance and stopping standpoint.
The northern access will not be a full access, since there is no median cut at that
location. The proponent, at this point, is asking for a right-in, right-out only
access for the northern entrance. This could be subject to change and the proponent
wants the ability to work with the property to the north to determine if, instead of
a right-in, right-out, a joint full access in the location of the existing northern
median cut can be worked out in the future.
Phase I includes four buildings, three of which will be pure office space. The
fourth would be a 30,000 sq. ft. medical research and development firm, in which it
is expected that 20,000 would be assembly, warehousing, shipping, and receiving.
For Phase I, then, the total amount of space which would not be office space would
be 20,000 of a 59,000 sq. ft. total, or approximately 34%. This would be within the
guidelines of the overall Planned Unit Development. At this point in time, the
western two office condominium buildings adjacent to City West Parkway in Phase I
will be constructed by the developer, Prime Development, for sale to individual
firms. A computer firm has been identified as SCAMP Software, and the medical firm
has been identified as LECTCCH.
Parking
The proposed plan for parking is based upon provision of five parking spaces per
1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. 295 parking spaces are required according to
this formula, and 295 spaces are provided.
2921
Primetech Staff Report 3 January 6, 1984
The proponent is requesting a reduction in the City's parking lot dimension in both
the width of the parking space from 9 ft. to 8.5 ft., and in length of the parking
space from 19 feet to 18 feet. There is also a request for reduction in the aisle
width from 25 ft. to 24 ft., bringing the total reduction in width of the parking
lot from 63 ft. for a double-loaded aisle to 60 ft. .
With regard to Phase I, the Planning Staff does not find a appreciable advantage in
going to the 8.5 foot parking stall, and would not recommend the parking lot width
change from 63 ft. to 60 ft. Since the proponent is also requesting a parking
formula for the medical firm of four spaces per 1,000 sq. ft., rather than five
spaces per 1,000 sq. ft., a difference of 38 parking stalls, the Planning Staff
would recommend reduction on this basis. A row of parking should be taken out on
the south and east sides of the internal loop road in Phase I. The resultant open
space should then be added to the loop road boulevard. This would only remove about
15 parking stalls, the balance of the space represented by the remainder of the 38
spaces removed could be utilized to provide adequate parking aisle widths and
parking space dimensioning. The reduction in parking requirement from five spaces
per 1,000 sq. ft. to four spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. for the medical firm is
reasonable, since two-thirds of the building would be warehouse, assembly, shipping,
or receiving space, which does not require as much parking as office space.
Zoning
Since it has been identified that the medical firm is not a pure office use, the
Planning Staff would suggest that a new legal description be provided for that
section of Phase I attributable to the medical firm and that parcel be zoned 1-2
Park to accommodate the industrial use.
Access
Access of the four buildings to City West Parkway would be via the first phase of a
private loop road, which should be built to City standards. With Phase II
construction, the loop road would have to be continued all the way through the site,
back to City West Parkway. The developer has provided condominium association
documents describing how the parking lot areas and private road would be owned and
maintained.
The proponent has illustrated additional sidewalks within the development. However,
those sidewalks must tie in to an overall sidewalk system, which parallels the loop
road.
Open Space/Landscaping
The change in the overall Planned Unit Development to move the buildings on U. S.
#169 further west creates a problem in the screening of parking now utilized in
those low areas adjacent to the highway. The proponent should provide the City with
sight sections through each parking lot from U. S. 169 and propose effective methods
of treatment, which would provide screening of those parking lot areas.
The medical firm has a provision for a shipping and receiving dock area, which would
accomnodate semi-truck traffic. Planning Staff recommends that the dock area be
enclosed through the extension of the roof and southern wall, so that the loading
area is completely recessed for the length of a semi-truck.

Primetech Staff Report 4 January 6, 1984
RECOMMENDATIONS
Planning Staff would recommend approval of the Planned Unit Development Concept
Amendment for approximately 181,000 sq. ft. of office on 20 acres of land, and,
Planned Unit Development District Review and Zoning, with setback variances, for
Phase I of the project, and, Preliminary Platting of Phase I of the project for
approximately six acres, subject to the following:
1. Prior to Council review, the proponent must supply an additional legal
description for publication of rezoning for that section of Phase I
containing the medical firm, which would be zoned to 1-2 Park, rather than
Office.
2. The developer must provide the City with access control of the western side
of City West Parkway adjacent to the central entrance of the Primetech
office area. The developer should continue to coordinate with the property
to the north for a joint full access with the residential condominium
project.
3. Parking for the medical firm would be allowed at four spaces per 1,000 sq.
ft. of floor area; however, the green space created by elimination of
additional parking would be added along the boulevard of the private loop
road and that open space boulevard treatment would be carried along through
the entire loop road system.
4. The request for parking lot dimension change from 63 ft. to 60 ft. and
parking space from 9 feet in width and 19 feet in length to 8.5 feet in
width and 18 feet in length should not be approved.
5. The amount of space not specifically used for office in Phase I would be
limited to the 20,000 sq. ft. area shown in the medical firm building.
6. Proponent must submit cross-sections through the site from U. S. #169, which
Illustrate the relationship of the parking lot to this highway, and provide
a plan for screening of the parking area from the highway.
7. The sidewalks for the individual buildings in Phase I should be tied into a
sidewalk, which is continuous around the loop of the private loop road.
8. The project would be subject to the review of the Engineering Department and
the Fire Marshall.
9. Prior to review by the City Council, an overall signage program shall be
submitted to the City Staff for review.
10. Cash Park Fee is applicable to this project.
11. Prior to any construction on the property, the development must receive
approval from the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District.
12. The overall Planned Unit Development must be between 65% and 75% office to
be determined based upon the individual uses that come into the overall
Planned Unit Development.

13. Development beyond Phase I in the Planned Unit Development would require
completion of the loop road.
14. The loading area for the medical firm should be enclosed and recessed the
amount of depth of a semi-truck.

Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment of City West Planned Unit
Development
Request
The Planned Unit Development Concept approval which was granted for City West in
October of 1981 was conceptual, but was based upon an illustrative site plan shown
as Figure #1. The Primetech request is for approval of a concept development plan
for 20 acres of office/research and development. This site is on the location as
shown in Figure #2 and is made up of 10.8 acres originally approved for 120,000 sq.
ft. of office space, 4.4 acres of the site originally planned for a 300-room hotel,
approximately one acre of a 5.6 acre high density residential site, and an addition
of approximately 3.7 acres of excess highway right-of-way that has recently been
acquired by ADI. The concept of office on the previously approved office site is
consistent with the original Planned Unit Development, and it is consistent with the
office or commercial use approved on the original 12.6 acre hotel site, but is not
consistent with the removal of approximately 20% of the high density residential
site approved in the original Planned Unit Development. Removal of one acre from
the high density residential site would be equivalent to approximately 33
residential units. If this acreage is to be removed for this office use, it will
have to be replaced elsewhere in the overall Planned Unit Development.
The original 10.8 acre office site, which was approved for 120,000 sq. ft., would
have been a floor area ratio of 0.26. If we utilize this floor area ratio for the
remainder of the 20-acre Primetech request, their plan would be 0.23 floor area
ratio, making it consistent in office density with the approved Planned Unit
Development. However, the original Planned Unit Development concept planned for
multiple story buildings, and, therefore, had more significant areas of green space
because of lower overall site coverage. In this regard, the current proposal is not
consistent with the original Planned Unit Development, and the site plan suffers
from the lack of definition and separation cf individual sites. This should be
corrected in the final plans by either reducing the amount of total square footage
or introducing some multiple story buildings into the overall plan to allow the
232..
incorporation of additional green space throughout the plan.
It is expected that a 220-room hotel, with expansion to 320 rooms, will be proposed
on the remaining 7.2-acre hotel site.
The current proposal is for single story office and office/research and development
buildings with the overall percentage of office for the 20 acres to be at least 75%.
Very light truck delivery traffic would be anticipated.
Since the overall floor area ratio is less than the approved floor area ratio, it
can be expected that sewer, water, electrical, gas, and traffic usage would be less
than the original Planned Unit Development. Therefore, an additional EAW is not
necessary.
Utilities
The buildings along the U. S. Highway 169 frontage are all depicted in the concept
development plan as being served by a lift station. In discussing this with
proponent's architect, we have discovered that a major site plan revision is
currently underway, which would move all of these buildings further away from the
highway onto higher ground, eliminating the need for a lift station. At the same
time, this would change the concept of the relationship of the parking to the
service drive and to U. S. 169.
Traffic/Pedestrian Systems
The majority of the project is served by a private loop access road. The project
could benefit from this loop road being planned as a public street, with a
pedestrian system. Setbacks required for this public street would also have the
benefit of adding green space to the overall site plan.
SUMMARY
The original Planned Unit Development concept was based upon the illustrative site
plan shown in Figure #1. In order to amend this for a different concept development
plan, it is necessary to have a development plan of equal detail. Since the plan
submitted and distributed to the Planning Commission and reviewed by the Staff has
been significantly revised, but not submitted for review, it is not possible to
grant approval of the Planned Unit Development concept amendment until the revised
plan is reviewed. We would, however, make the following general recommendations:
1. The 10,000 sq. ft. office building shown in Phase III as Building C be
deleted from the request because it occurs on the site designated in the
original Planned Unit Development for High Density Residential. The
alternative to this would be to add an equal amount of land to one of the
two other High Density Residential designated sites in the City West Planned
Unit Development.
2. The concept development plan should be revised to eliminate the need for a
lift station.
3. The overall square footage should be reduced to allow significant green
space areas between sites, which would also help in a meaningful way to
break up the large parking areas. The overall square footage might also be
2-33
decreased by incorporating some multiple story buildings into the plan.
4. The private loop street serving the individual sites should be planned as a
public street with access points in conformance with the originally approved
City. West Planned Unit Development.
5. In the revised drawings, a pedestrian walkway system should be incorporated,
which ties each individual building into the sidewalk and trail systems for
the overall City West Planned Unit Development.
6. The landscaping as proposed for the overall site is good in that it utilizes
very large plant material for peripheral planting, which will give the
project a more mature look, initially.
7. An overall signage plan, which would be consistent with the use of similar
architecture throughout the office park, should be submitted.
8. The project must be made up of at least 75% office figured on a gross basis..
9. The development information provided indicates that there will be no rooftop
mechanical equipment on the small buildings and that on the larger
buildings, it would be screened with wood fences. The use of wood fences
for screening is "tack-on" screening method. Screening of mechanical
equipment must be accomplished with materials architecturally integral and
used other places on the building.

Eden Glen 4th Addition Staff Report 3 January 6, 1984
Utilities
Water service, sanitary and storm sewer is proposed to tie into existing mains
along Glen Lane. Two catch basiiis are proposed within the parking lots. Two
additional catch basins are needed along Glen Lane in the north and center
driveway entrances.
Transportation
The volume of traffic generated by the bank can be handled by the adjacent road
system. A retail land use, as approved by the P.U.D. Concept, would generate a
greater volume of traffic than the proposed bank/office.
Auto access to the Bank parcel is off Glen Lane. Three access drives are proposed.
The evaluation of potential drive locations from the lots on the west side of Glen
Lane (Sheraton Inn, Kindercare and vacant parcel) indicates a conflict with the
south driveway of the proposed bank. The proposed Kindercare driveway coincides
with the alignment approved by the P.U.D. The proposed south drive of the bank is
diagonal to the proposed Kindercare entrance. The center entrance drive for the
bank lies directly across from the vacant parcel. (Figure #2) The elimination
of the south entrance to the bank property would resolve any turning problems
onto Glen Lane with the future development of the west parcels.
No sidewalks are proposed. A 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk shall be placed along
Glen Lane and Singletree Lane the length of the property. The sidewalk along
the north building entrances shall be extended to the sidewalk along Glen Lane.
Architecture
The exterior materials proposed are a dark brown face brick with bronze tinted
anodized aluminum trimmed glazing. The exterior materials are consistent with the
Design Framework Manual.
Signage
No signage information is provided. Per the P.U.D. Concept no free standing signs
will be allowed along Highway # 169/212.
Lighting
No lighting information is provided. The Eden Glen Design Framework Manual specifies:
* Downcast and cutoff type fixtures
* Aluminum poles and fixtures
* Dark Brown anodized finish
* 20 foot maximum height
The exterior lighting shall match the pole and fixture used within the Hardees and
Delarias Chicken development. (See Figure #3)

portion of the cost of the Project.
1.06. On October 5, 1982, after thirty days published

reflect this change.

Code of 1954, interest on revenue bonds is exempt from federal
income tax only if a public hearing is held prior to the
issuance thereof. New regulations filed May 6, 1983 under
Section 103(k) require that the notice of public hearing set
forth the name of the borrower, the nature of the project, the
street address of the project and the maximum principal amount
of the bonds; it must also state that written comments may be
submitted on the proposed bond issue. In order to comply with
new regulations under Section 103(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954, the City held a second public hearing on
December 6, 1983. Notice of said hearing stated all of the
elements now required by the Internal Revenue Service.

EXHIBIT A
AMENDED PROGRAM FOR MULTIFAMILY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
UNDER CHAPTER 462C - BAYPOINT MANOR PROJECT
Baypoint Manor Limited Partnership, a Minnesota
partnership (the Borrower) whose general partner is Jim W.
Miller Construction, Incorporated, has acquired and intends to
exercise an option to purchase certain land located at 11111
Neill Lake Road in the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota (the
City), for the purpose of constructing thereon a 152-unit
rental apartment building (the Project). Unit size composition
of the Project will be as follows: 20 one-bedroom units and
132 two-bedroom units.
Consistent with the housing needs of the City
described in the Eden Prairie Comprehensive Guide Plan (the
Comprehensive Plan), a report prepared by the City and Brauer
Associates, Inc., the Project will enable the City to meet its
two housing goals stated in the Comprehensive Plan: encourage
a variety of housing types and prices through innovative
architectural and land use and encourage low income housing
throughout the City. The Plan Elements chapter of the housing
section of the Comprehensive Plan calls for continued
cooperation between the public sector and private industry to
insure the production of modest cost housing for middle income
households. The Project will be designed to be affordable by
persons and families with adjusted gross income not in excess
of the limits set forth in Section 462C.03, Subdivision 2,
Minnesota Statutes and by other persons and families to the
extent necessary to further a policy of economic integration.
At least 31 units in the Project will be held for occupancy by
families or individuals with adjusted gross income not in
excess of 80 percent of the median family income estimated by
the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) for the Minneapolis-St. Paul standard metropolitan
statistical area and at least 84 units in the Project will be
held for occupancy by families or individuals whose adjusted
gross income does not exceed sixty-six times the gross rental
for the applicable dwelling unit, provided such gross rental
shall not exceed 120 percent of the Fair Market Rents for the
geographical area in which the Project is located as determined
and adjusted from time to time by HUD. The remainder of the
units in the Project will be occupied by individuals and
families without regard to income limits. The authorization of
revenue bonds to finance the Project will make the Project
feasible.
It is anticipated that housing development revenue
bonds of the City will be issued and sold pursuant to Section
462.07, Minnesota Statutes, for the purpose of providing
construction and long-term financing for the Project, in the
aggregate principal amount of approximately $7,000,000, which
is the amount presently estimated to be necessary to pay a
portion of total development and financing costs.

Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Bob Lambert, Director of Community ScrVices W
January 11, 1984
Limited Use Permit State of Minnesota for Trail Within Right-of-Way
of Interstate 494
The Commission may recall that several months ago when reviewing a proposed lot
division in Topview, the question regarding trail access from Topview Park, north
to the property dedicated by NSP, then west to Forest Hills School/Park was again
raised. This trail connection has been sought for many years; however, until the
development of Cardinal Creek the completion of an access to Forest Hills School/Park
was not feasible.
At that time, staff pointed out that the most feasible access from Topview to the
property dedicated by NSP was along the 494 right-of-way. This would move the access
trail outside of the rear lot lines and put the trail up on higher ground out of the
Nine-Mile Creek marsh.
_. The Commission requested staff to apply for a Limited Use Permit from the State of
Minnesota that would allow the City to construct a Class V trail within the 494
\- right-of-way.
Attached to this memo is a copy of a Limited Use Permit drafted by the State of Minn.
Department of Transportation for this trail connection. The Limited Use Permit would
allow the City to move approximately 1100' of chain length fence 15-20' further to
the cast and construct a 8' wide Class V trail for a distance of 1100' within the
494 right-of-way.
The estimated cost to move the chain length fence and to construct the trail that dis-
tance would be approximately $11,000. Construction of the Class V trail from that
northern point to a point connecting with the existing sidewalk system in Cardinal
Creek would he approximately an additional $6,500 'depending on the soil conditions.
(there is approximately 300' of marsh that would have to be crossed to make the
connection).
The City Attorney has reviewed the Limited Use Permit and provided two comments con-
cerning the proposed permit. The first relates to Section 15, which permits the State
to cancel and terminate the permit upon 60 days written notice. That section also
requires removal of the pedestrian wAkway within 60 days. In such an event, any
investment in construction of the trail would, of course, be lost. Second, the
indemnity provision contained in Section 17 is quite broad. The City Attorney would
recommend that it should not require that the City indemnify the State for liability
where the State itself may be negligent. He suggests the addition of the following
language after the word "employees" appearing in the second line of Section 17:
", unless caused through the fault or negligent of any such person,".
The Community Services staff would recommend requesting the State of Minnesota to make
the change in Section 17 as per the City Attorney's recommendation. and would then
suggest accepting the Limited Use Permit; however, City staff would not recommend
/.

devleopment of this trail until the following would occur:
1. The trail system within the Cardinal Creek area would be completed.
2. The City would hold a hearing of the Topvicw neighborhood, specifically
notifying the lots along Gordon Drive that would be directly affected by
this trail to determine the need for the trail access.
3. The City receives quotes on actual construciion costs for the trail and
moving the chain length fence.
By accepting the Limited Use Permit, the City merely retains an option for access
within this right-of-way. This would not by any means require the City to construct
this trail now or in the future.
