ROLL CALL: Councilman Anderson was absent.

Mayor Wolfgang H. Penzel, Richard Anderson,
George Bentley, Paul Redpath and George
Tangen
City Manager Carl J. Jullie, City Attorney
Roger Pauly, Finance Director John D. Fraw,.
and Recording Secretary Karen Michael
Also present WIS Marvin LaGrow, Development Commission.
The purpose of this Special Meeting was to hear presentations regarding JOB Reserve
Systems. The meetinn was called to order by Mayor Wolfgang H. Penzel. City Manager
Jullie said three proposals would be heard by those advocating establishment of a
Reserve System and one proposal from representatives of two firms not advocating such
a fund.
O'Connor & Hannan: Jim O'Meara and Arlin Waelti represented O'Connor & Hannan and spoke
to the merits of having such a system noting that O'Connor & Hannan has been working with
the cities of Minneapolis and Blaine on their systems as well as the IRRB which has a
similar system. O'Meara and Wad El noted the pending federal legislation and reported
on developwnts throuh today. It was their feeling that there will be changes in the
Federal legislation i,ud they would not advise the City to site a decision on a reserve
system until the legislation is passed. Waelti noted that the National League of Cities
has been working on legislation which is supported by the Municipal Finance Officers.
She reviewed what is included in the proposed legislation. She indicated the language
is unclear as to whether the legislation refers to old or new IRDBs. A "Summary of
Proposed Eden Prairie 10 Reserve System" is attached to these Minutes as Exhibit A.
Mr. O'Meara indicated that the Reserve System would not be successful unless
all IRB proposals were required to go through the system.
Pain Bosworth/Miller Schroeder Municiyals, Inc.: Dick Miller of Dain Bosworth and
Y. Warren Preeshi, fim Long and J. Patrick Wooldridge of Miller & Schroeder Municipals,
Inc. were present. Miller indicated there are two benefits to establishing such a fund:
1) it creates jobs and a tax base which would not otherwise take place; the system is
designed to bring into public markets developments which would not be able to be financed
otherwise; and 2) it provides fixed rate, investment grade, long-term financing. He noted
that there is irsurance available which would u:ean the hcmaids would have in AAA rating.
Preeshl reviewed what has been happening with federal legislation. Preeshl stated he
felt it would be a u ;ood idea to set up a Reserve System now because once Federal legis-
lation is pasd site et tic; will he racing to set up such systems, He indicated the
system is !;e 1f fin e r ing; Eden P)wirie is an aLLrective City and would be one which
people would want to eee to. Iii lie aid this City is the hest example in the Metro-
politdn Arca ur lii: i urure pl,mling: this is .,,nother tool which can put Eden Prairie in
the forefront. Nil 8; It ,,:cold [Ao ;111nnL ga days to put together a Reserve System.
Exhibit B in; Lidos etiuroul u.srkTial p,ewntA.
City Council Minutes -2- March 15, 1984
Piper, Jaffray & Hopwood/Dougherty, DaAins, Strand & Yost: Representing Piper, Jaffray
& Hopwood were Rodney Pakonen and frank fairman and representing Dougherty, Dawkins,
Strand & Yost was Ioat Peterson. A summary of the programs which they recommend for
the City of Eden Prairie is attached as Exhibit C. Peterson noted that the system
they propose can ask local banks, acting as a consortium, to contribute via a letter
of credit. Fairman indicated an ideal system for Eden Prairie would have two common
reserve funds: the first reserve would he bond proceeds and the secondary reserve would
come from outside of the bond proceeds including CDRGs, tax increments, etc.; these are
what the integrity of the system is based upon. Pakonen stated that Eden Prairie really
does not need this type of system, but this might encourage development which might
not otherwise occur in the City. Pakonen said the reasons the City should hire them
to establish a reserve system is: 1) their ability to sell "retail", 2) their knowledge
of alternative kinds of systems, 3) they have done work in the City prior to this,
4) they are not underwriters with anyone in competition with the City.
Dorsey & Whitney/Jurah A Moody: Verlane Endorf, Dorsey & Whitney, and Russell Prince,
Juran & Moody, spoke against the establishment of a reserve system. For further in-
formation see Exhibits and E. Prince reviewed the St. Paul Port Authority and how -
that differed from systems which are being established now. He indicated you cannot
mix good credit with poor credit on a volunteer basis which is what would have to occur
to make the system work. Endorf said a system should be able to stand on its own as
it is too expensive otherwise for the credit enhancement. Prince said there are many
avenues available for financing -- so why should a city get involved.
Each of the above groups was allocated approximately 45 minutes for their presentations.
This was followed by discussion by the City Council. Bentley said he did not feel the
City has development goals; we have a Guide Plan but that does not establish goals or
criteria. He said he would like to see the City 1) establish development goals via a
clear plan,2) some sort of limitation placed on tax free development bonds, and 3)
priorities established as to how the development bonds are to be used. Tangen said
he felt the monies must be prioritized; the City should not be in the venture capital
business. Bentley said he felt that IROBs were used by people who were looking for
a less expensive way of doing what they were already going to do. He said he felt it
would be appropriate if the funds were used for expansion of an existing facility.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Penzel, to table the issue of the establishment of
a Reserve Fund to a time uncertain and to refer this back to the Development Commission
and Staff for their recommendations. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Penzel, to direct the Development Commission and Staff
to work on establishino development goals through a clearly drawn plan of priorities.
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Penzel, to adjourn the meeting at 11:15 p.m.
Motion carried unanialously.

Subject: ne3SODS for requesting a guide plan change
To: Mr. Enger
City Planning Director
Eden Prairie, MN 55344
From: Wilson Ri e Joint Venture
There are two primary reasons for our request to change the guide
plan from eJcclusively office to a mixture of office and
office/industrial uses.
31.,T.0.41141n11110111/.11, ,..wasa. wcz:

Firstly, there ia the very practical problem of dealing with a
parcel of land this large, approximately 60 acres. The Wilson
Ridge Joint Venture partnership is comprised of myself, the Welsh
Companies and Wilson Learning Corporation. The partnership is
structured as a land development venture, not as an investment
entity. As such, we will be able to purchase the land only if a
zoning solution useable by all parties of the partnership is
granted by the city council. The p eject area is too large an
undertaking for any one of the partners individually, hence,iwe
must necessarily accommodate the needs of all.
Secondly, there is a philosophical or theoretical committment
that Eden Prairie has consistently followed since 1968 with the
establishment of the first guide plan to mixed use development
within planned unit developments. I have been a strong supporter
of this principal for the following reasons:
a. The cross fertilization that occurs provides a
creative environment where the interchange of ideas
and products stimulates growth and creativity.
March 29, 1984
Mr. Enger
Page Two
b. The variety of space opportunities allows for the
'incubation" principal to work, e.g., allowing for the
opportunity of a small company to expand without
having to be uprooted.
c. Land uses can be better adapted to the physical
environment.
d. Future space needs of industry and commerce can be
adapted more easily to existing building
configurations.
It is because of these two reasons, the practical and the
theoretical, that we feel strongly that a guide plan change for
the Wilson Ridge project is in the best interest of the city as
well as ourselves. This project fits well within the general
objective as stated in the 1973 Major Center Area report, "The
Major Center Plan should provide for an integrated regional scale
development of retail, service, medical, cultural, civic,
entertainment and office facilities located within a relatively
compact land area, blended with high density residential
development and certain kinds of manufacturing, warehousing, and
research operations."

Traffic Projections for Wilson Ridge Project Area
(Including Lee Data Site)
PURPOSE
In accordance with your request, we have completed traffic
projections fo the proposed Wilson Ridge development and the
existing, adjacent Lee Data development. The specific pur-
pose has been to forecast traffic volumes generated by these
developments (total traffic and truck trips) on the following
three roadway segments:
• Flying Cloud Drive between Lee Data and Shady Oak Road
• Valley View Road between Flying Cloud Drive (extended to
Valley View Road as per your site information plan dated
December 23, 1983) and Prairie Center Drive
• Valley View Road east of Flying Cloud Drive
In completing the analysis, it was assumed that all
programmed roadway improvements (e.g. Prairie Center Drive,
interchange at Prairie Center Drive and 1-494, and inter-
change -at Valley View Road and 1-494) would be completed.
Furthermore, it was assumed that Flying Cloud Drive would be
extended to Valley View Road as shown in your site infor-
mation plan.
TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
A standard trip generation process was used to determine the
average daily traffic, a.m. and p.m. peak hour volumes, and
the average daily truck volume generated by the study deve-
lopments. The Institute of transportation Engineers, Trip
Generation Mal, second editinn - 19/9 was used to provide
the appropriati, factors to he applied to the building square
footages and Idad uses to develop the traffic volumes as
shown in Table I. Lee Data information was taken from "The

Gentlemen:
At .ts m,et,ng last night, the Planning Commission acted to continue the proposed
Wilson Ridge project review to the February 27, 1984, Planning Commission meeting,
contingent upon Staff receiving adequate information to review the changes to the
plan by Monday, February 20, 1984.
Beyond the concerns mentioned in the Staff Report, the Planning Commission
specifically spoke to better justification of the Guide Plan Amendment proposed, the
location of the public road through the site, and a more detailed tree inventory in
areas where trees would be removed. The major concern of the residents speaking at
the meeting were for a more detailed concept of development for Outlot C at the
northeast area of the site and the effect of storm drainage from the site to the
Smetana Lane neighborhood.
Please contact the Staff if you have any questions, or if we can be of further
assistance to you.
Sincerely,
CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE

Dennis Doyle wo:,, present to give a presentation
on this proposal. Bob Brown from Wilson Learning
was also present.
Lambert began with a short introduction. He
stated that the Ce=ission has seen this property
proposed for development before. The last time,
which was a couple of years ago, it was brought
up as Thorn Creek. The significance of this
property is that It has a high land form on the
east portion of the property, which is a Oak
wooded hill. On the north portion of the property
is Nine Mile Creek floodplain. Lambert stated
that the Commission would have some concerns not
only because of the unique natural land forms but
also because the property is highly visible from
Highway 169-212.
Doyle showed a map of the proposed area. Doyle
stated that it is a 60 acre site and they would
be developing 40 acres out of the 60. The proposal
does save the natural features of this property.
He also stated that the plan does include jogging
trails that hopefully will hook up with Lee Data's
trails. The buildings will be low, approximately
5 stories high. Doyle felt this proposal is
unique to Eden rrairie because it is using the
natural state of the land and mixing in developed
areas.
Doyle cave time for questions and comments.
-Baker inquired as to the jogging trnils. Doyle
replied that they will be 5 feet wide and made out
of wood chips. Cock Inquired as to the relation
of the height of the buildings in regard to the
wooded knell area. Doyle answered that there
would be a view over the buildings onto the
preservation area.
Lambert commented that 1 11e Community Services
Staff does support the rlanning Staff Report.
The Community ‘3evie(.a Staff did request that
there be a seenie essement dedicated over the
Nino Mile Creek flGoiploin and that a 20' wide
public trail easement be dedicated above the
contour on tile north side df the creek.

recreation issues involved in this proposal.
The only qnestien in the lecation of the sidewalks.
Lambert stated that the Planning Department
recormends a sidewalk along Twilight Trail which

District Review dnd Zoning District Change from Commercial
Regional to 1-2 Park, with variances, and Preliminary Plat
for two lots and four outlets Location: North of Valley
View Road and East of Highway #169. A continued public
hearing.
Mr. Darrell Anderson, architect for proponents, reviewed the changes
made in the site plan since the previous meeting. The buildings had
been reduced from approximately 70,000 sq. ft. to 66,300 sq. ft.;
proof of parking has been shown to 3.4 spaces per 1,000 square feet
of gross floor area; the landscaping plan had been revised; the road
elevation adjacent to the major hill had been revised so that the
total height of the retaining wall had been diminished to one four-
foot wall, compared to a 21 ft. effective height on previous plans;
mechanical equipment had been located in plan view on the roof, and
would be screened with metal spandrel panels to match the building;
sight lines had been proeHed showing that the loading area would
not be visible from the proposed office building to the east due to
the 20 ft. height of the building wall in the loading area, compared
to the 12 ft. height for a semi-truck; and, the traffic study
provided identifies forecasted traffic volumes and distribution of
traffic.
Mr. Aoderson stated that the traffic study had shown that 47 trucks
per day could be expected on the site.
Planner Enger reviewed the plan against recomended conditions of
approval of the February 24, 1934, Staff Report, stating to the
Commisien that the recommendations as stated in that report still
applied to the site as revised.
Hallett asked if the tree inventory had been submitted. Staff
reperted that it had.
Planning Commission Minutes 12 March 12, 1934
Torjesen asked when Flying Cloud Drive would be completed through
the City. Stdff stated that the proponent would be petitioning for
the improvements for Flying Cloud Drive from Shady Oak Road to
Valley View Road. Mr. Wally Hustad, proponent, stated that the road
and utilities would need to be started before any construction could
take place.
Planner Enger stated that at this time, no grading was proposed for
Outlets or E, but grading would take place for the road, the area
south of the road, and west of the road according to the grading
plan submitted.
Hallett asked the Wilson representatives if they were satisfied with
the view they would have of the loading areas and the rooftops of
the buildings on Site #2. Mr. Bob Brown stated that they had
reviewed the sight lines and were satisfied with the resultant views
from their building.
Chairman Bearman asked what the total amount of impervious cover
would be for this project. Mr. Anderson responded that the Wilson
Learning Center site would be approximately 65% and Site #2 would be
approximately 80%.
Hallett asked if the reduction in the amount of retaining wall
necessary for the site resulted in the saving of more trees. Staff
stated that it did not as the slope remained the same for the hill.
Torjesen asked that record reflect his opinion that, inspite of the
fact that he had expressed positive opinions of the project at
previous meetings, he had changed his mind as to the appropriateness
of this proposal for this site. He stated that he felt it was a
plan which altered the site to fit the plan, rather than a plan
which took site features into consideration by design. Torjesen
added that he felt the de 1 ,.iment was too intense for the site and
that this site may not be the appropriate location for.the uses
proposed.
Planner Enger pointed out that the developers would be using
approximately one-third of the site for development, with the rest
remaining in preservation areas. He added that it was Staff's
observatinn that this plan preserved at least as much, if not more
of the natural areas than the previously approved Thorn Creek Place
plan.
Mr. Dan Inblom, 10610 Valley View Road, stated that he felt there
should be a check made of how many dead or diseased elms existed on
the site. He stated that he felt it was likely more than the City
was aware of at this time.

Planning Commission Minutes 4 February 27, 1984
Mr. Wally Hustad, representing proponents, stated that the
proponents were dedicated to the idea of mixed uses on this site.
He steted that the most important factor to them was that a mixed
use area allowed for cross-fertilization of businesses, and,
therefore, a healthier business climate. Mr. Hustad pointed out
that these were the reasons for the requested Comprehensive Guide
Plan amendment.
Mr. Hustad gave statistics on the amount of office space within the
metropolitan area and that portion of new construction of office
space which would be attributable to the City of Eden Prairie. He
stated that the City should be more responsive to the market
conditions and the need for high-tech industries within the
commaeity. hr . Hustad pointed out that they, as developers, were
making an investment in the cooemnity, too, and felt that it would
be better in the long run to have this mix available to the City to
help it grow.
Mr. Darrell Anderson, architect for proponents, reviewed the revised
site characteristics. He stated that 8tN. of the site would maintain
Its present visual form.
Mr. Dennis Doyle, Welsh Construction, one of the proponents, stated
that since the previous meeting before the Planning Commission, they
had revised the long, linear nature of the proposed
office/industrial structures and had changed one of the
office/industrial sites, the most northerly, to an office use.
Also, the retaining walls had been reduced, based on the proposed
realimeent of the road by Staff.
Mr. Doyle added that it-would be approximately two-to-three weeks
before the tree survey requested by the Ccmmission and Staff in, and
adjacent to, construction areas would be completed. Also, the
proponents had hired a traf 'e consultant to provide the requested
traffic inforelation, which was not available at this time. Mr.
Doyle stated that the proponents would prefer that Outlots A and D
not he eliminated from the proposal at this time, as recommended by
Staff, due to financing considerations.
Mr. Bob Brown, Wilson Learning Center, stated that the Wilson
Learnino structure would he the home for 250 employees, 185 of which
would be transferred from the Washington Avenue office of Wilson
Learning Center. He gave additional history of the business and its
intentioes for the future.
Staff reviewed the findinos and recemandations of the Staff Report
regarding the revised request.
Plemer Enger responded to the coement regarding too much office
space in the City, statine that the real estate market was known to
be cyclical and that the City could rot base its Comerehensive Guide
Plee eesignetions for lend use upon om: cycle of the market. He
poieted eut that this was a plan for the City's future, as well as
for its present. Based on Staff's research, the City did not have
Planning Commission Minutes 5 February 27, 1984
too large an inventory of office space for its present and future
needs.
Regarding the development plans, Staff stated that the tree
inventory was necessary due to the need to know whether the
developer was locating roads or structures in the best location for
maximum preservation of large trees.
Chairmen Furman asked if the traffic study to be completed for the
site took into consideration the truck traffic which would be
inherent with this development. Mr. Doyle stated that he did not
know at this time, but would check and report back to the City.
Chairmen Fearman asked if there was danger of density transfer from
the preservation areas designated on the site to the sites which
existed only in concept at this time. Staff stated that it was
possible; however, such matters could be documented within a
developer's agreement for the property to avoid such an occurrence.
Torjesen questioned which areas were proposed for a Comprehensive
Guide Plan amendment by proponent. Staff pointed out the designated
areas. Torjesen stated that he was reluctant to amend the Guide
Plan without speeifir plans for a site and with no plans or details
to support the request as he felt would be done with sites which did
not have building plans at this time.
Chairman Beaman asked if Valley View Road could be widened at its
Intersection with Flying Cloud Drive. Staff pointed out that there
were restrictions upon expansion of Valley View Road in this area.
The traffic study would be needed to determine the impact of the
project upon Valley View Road and the alternatives available for
mitigation of this situation.
Chairman Beaman stated that aiile he felt that Wilson Learning
Center was a good use for the site's south end, he, •too, was
reluctant to deal with a Comprehensive Guide Plan change to
industrial usage without deteiled plans which would show the impact
of the changed used upon the surrounding uses. Chairman Beaman
stated that, in this case, architectural elevations would be
iroortant, due to the visibility of the sites proposed for
in6ustrial use from the surrounding uses that were at higher
elevations, or that would be multiple stories in height.
Chairman Rearman also questioned the density of the proposal. He
pointed out that the City had previously approved a total of 300,000
sq. ft. of office space for this site, while the proponents were
currently thawing 350,0aj to 500,003 sq. ft. of space. Chairman
Bearemn questioned whether the proponeet's project was realistic
with respect to not &megieg or compromising the amenities of the
site.
Johannes siets el that he felt the site should be viewed as a whole,
and that the Wilson Lornin ,; site could not be isolated from the
remaining pohtions of the project.
Planning Commission Minutes 6 February 27, 1984
Gartner stated that she was satisfied with Outlets A and D, with the
stipulation that those portions ot the project be on the order of
high-tech uses.
Torjesen reiterated concern with the lack of justification for a
Celprehensive Guide Plan change. It was suggested that the Planning
Cwaaissinn consider a Comprehensive Guide Plan change from Office to
Office/Iuduatrial.
Marhula stated that he was not uncomfortable with a Comprehensive
Guide Plan change to Office/Industrial without seeing the site plans
for Outlots A and D at this time. He pointed to several areas of
the coinuaity where this had been done. However, with respect to
Site C2, Marhula expressed concern for the level of detail available
at this tirea. He stated that he felt it would be necessary for the
City to review the tnpact of traffic on the site, visual impact from
Highway #169, visual impact from the other surrounding uses, and
other cutters. llarhula stated that he felt the view of the tops of
the buildings from the Wilson Learning Center structure would be
important to deal with in future detailed drawings.
Hallett stated that he felt the proponent should return to the City
with architectural detail on all sites and with a re-evaluation of
the road alignment proposed. Hallett stated that he liked the idea
of Office/Industrial guiding for the site. He added that he felt
the tree inventory was critical to the future considerations for the
property.
Torjesen stated that he, too, liked the idea of Office/Industrial
guiding for the site, with an emphasis on office and with industrial
uses being designed with an office appearance. Torjesen also
expressed concern for the impact of Outlet D upon the Enblom
property to the south of Outlot D.
Mr. Ran Sorenson, 7121 Villa./ Creek Road, stated that he felt the
Wilson Learning building urged the consideration of ramp parking or
additional proof of parking due to its expandability.
Mr. -Sorenson expressed concern regarding the proposed use of
industrial on this site. He stated that he did not feel it was
appropriate to change the Guide Plan on a site-by-site basis,
without taking into consideration the impact of such a change on the
Guiaa Plan, as a whole. He said that he did not feel the City
should respond to Guide Plan changes based on market demands.
The Conalission discussed possible actions on the project in detail,
based on the proponents requec.ts.

Outlot A shall be an Office/Industrial use

The remainder of the Planned Unit Development Concept plan

such as Site #1, and preservation areas, as shown on their
plans.
Motion carried--4-2-0 (Chairman Beaman and Johannes against)
Johannes stated that he was against as he felt that Outlot 0 should
also he placed in the proposed Office/Industrial use category at
this time.
Chairman Beaman stated that he was against in that he felt the
originally approved Planned Unit Development for the site was more
appropriate for the property due to its sensitivity to the site
amenities and its land uses. With the current plans to nearly
double the site coverage lid intensify the development of the
property, he stated that he did not feel the Wilson Ridge proposal
was the best plan for the property.

Mr. Wellece Mustad, representing the Wilson Ridge Joint Venture
,
revieeed the history of v development proposals on the site. H
e
explained the impact of extensive mining operations on the proper
t
y
and discussed difficulties encountered by the soil borings in
various locations.
Mr. busted stated that it was proponent's intent to work from t
h
e
industrial use of Lee Data to the north into an office type use
o
n
the south with the business campus of Wilson Learning Cente
r
,
thereby creating a mixed use Planned Unit Development.
Mr. Darrell Anderson, proponent's architect, reviewed the s
i
t
e
design characteristics, landscaping, preservation areas, build
i
n
g
elevations, etc.
Mr. Dennis Doyle, Welsh Construction Company, one of the proponen
t
s
,
stet-0 that, of the 604 , acres, only 30 acres would he developed. He
point eei out that iageingkelking trails %ert, part of the plan, with
preeo -eil for a picnic area and volleyball courts. Mr. Doyle noted
that there sere several corporate headquarters in the vicinity,
Lee Date, Soper Value, Gelco, etc., and now Wilson
Learning Center with this proposal. He stated that he felt it wo
u
l
d
Planning COMMiSSiOD Minutes 3 February 13, 1984
be important to have a mix of the smaller uses in order for the
larger corporate uses and the smaller uses to service each other.
Mr. Doyle suggested that this Planned Unit Development would be the
location for that mix of uses.
Mr. Doyle stated that, after discussion with the Staff, it had been
determined that more work would he done on the site plan to mitigate
some of the concerns listed in the Staff Report. Also, based on a
series of soil tests made in the area, the plans would require
revision to avoid the bad soils with the buildings and road.
Therefore, an amended plan was necessary.
Planner Enger reviewed the conclusions of the Staff Report of
February 10, 1984, with the Cowission. After recent discussions
with the proponents, Staff had emphasized the need for
reconfiguration of the buildings proposed for the office/warehouse
uses, as well as the desirability of elimination of the "double"
loading area. He pointed out that some of the current difficulties
of the site resulted from the amount of square footage of structures
proposed. Planner Enger referred to the previously approved Thorn
Creek Place Planned Unit Development which supported a total of
300,000 sq. ft. of structure, while the current pronosal showed
342,c,0 sq. ft. of aacuctuee in the Arst phase alone.
With respect to the road, Staff explained that the Thorn Creek
proposal had placed the road further east on the site, at the toe of
the slope. In the current location proposed by Wilson Ridge, the
concern was for the amount of retaining walls necessary for
construction in this location. That amount of retaining wall was
not necessary with either of the previous proposals.
Parking concerns were noted, involving a lack of necessary spaces to
meet Code requirements for the uses proposed. If expansion was
planed of any of the as, it was suggested by Staff that the
noveer of parking spaces also be taken into consideration for such
expansions so that proof of parking could be shown on the site.
Planner Engel' stated that these were issues which must be addressed
in th new plans by the Wilson Ridge Joint Venture.
Actiny Chairman Torjosen staled that he was concerned about a lack
of supportive information for the Guide Plan Change requested for
the project.
Schuck stated that the Wilson Learning site appeared to fit well on
the site and to be appropriate for this area.'
Ha11,11 asked if the tree inventory would be necessary in all areas
of the site. Planvr [near responded that it would he in those
wh.,re trees would he rc:oved, but not necessarily for the
cot in: site. hie stated that in same areas, the trees were at least
10 inJies in diameter, in which case the City would have concerns
abcae their rei-wval.
Planning Commission Minutes 4 February 13, 1984
Johannes stated that he was supportive of the proposed industrial
use on the site and agreed with the need for cross-fertilization of
uses within an area such as this. He added that he agreed with
Schuck regarding the Wilson Learning site and its suitability for
the area.
Acting Chairman Torjesen asked for comments and questions from
members of the audience.
Mr. Richard Enblone 10610 Valley View Road, stated that he was
basically satisfied with two of the three exposures of the site to
his property, which was located fiemediately east of the proposal.
The trees in these areas were proposed to remain and would provide
adequate buffer on the south and west sides of his property. Mr.
Enblom expressed concern for the development of Out lot C as its
final use wes not yet known. He stated he would reserve judgment
until a plan was final. Mr. Enblom added that some of the trees in
the area were as large as 30 inches in diameter, particularly on the
central knoll of the site.
Regarding Valley View Road, Mr. Enblom pointed out that utilities
and right-of-way were restricted in the area which his family had
previously dLiicateo foi eark. He , )inted out that th)o may a.'fect
the traffic patterns for the future, as well as utility extension
and that the proponent should keep this in mind for the future.
Ms. Clara Heath, 7665 Smetana Lane, stated that she was concerned
about the grading of the southeast knoll of the site and asked that
as little as possible be done to change its character. She also
expressed concern about potential storm water run-off from the
parking areas around the Wilson Learning site as it may affect her
property.- Mr. Greg Struve, Welsh Corporation engineer, explained
the design of the storm water system and showed how the drainage had
been designed to drain away m her property.
Mr. Doyle added that, based on the soils information they had
recently received, it may not be possible to move the road much
further to the west. However, they would inform the City of the
results.
Hallett and Gartner stated that they agreed with the other
Comission mombco's about the suitability of the Wilson Learning site
and its appropriateness for the property.
Acting Chairman Hallett asked if proponents would be prepared with
revisions to the project in time for the Staff to review the changes
prior tu the next Planning Comelesion meeting. Mr. Doyle stated
that he would try, as the tine constraints on the project were
strinnent.
The Ceselissioeers emphasized the need for Staff having adequate time
to revite the project revisions prior to the next Commission
meeting.
Planning Commission Minutes 5 February 13, 1984
Ms. Susan Hustad, Hustad Development Corporation,
restated the need
to be at the next Commission meeting to
meet their time
requirements.
MOTION:
Motion was made by Johannes, seconded by Hallett, to continue the
public hearing and return the item to proponents, pending
modification per the Staff. Report of February 10, 1984.

DATE: March 16, 1934
SUBJECT: Supplementary Staff Report to the February 24, 1984 Planning Staff
Report on Wilson Ridge
On February 27, 1984, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Comprehensive
Guide Plan amendment and the PUB Concept Plan for Wilson Ridge subject to recommendations
of the February 10th and February 23th Planning Staff Reports with several modifications:
1. Outlot A shall be an office/industrial use.
2. Site number 2 shall be an office/industrial use.
3. Outlot D shall be an office use at this time with consideration for office/industrial
in the event that that site plan detail can justify use other than strictly office,
use.
4. Office/industrial shall be taken to mean primarily office use, with site plan details
to provide the justification of anything other than office use within the structures
on those lots.
5. The remainder of the PUD Concept Plan for Wilson Ridge Joint Venture Plan shall be
office uses such as site.number 1 and preservation areas shown on their plans. This
motion carried 4-2.
The Planning Commission also approved the preliminary plat of 18.4 acres for the Wilson
Learning Center on site number 1 based on the plans dated February 24, 1984 subject to
the recommendations of the staff report dated February 10th and February 24th. The
Commission requested the developer to return '1 the Planning Commission on March 12th
with revised and more detailed plans rer,ardi. the request to change the zoning from
C-Regional to 1-2 Park with variances and preliminary plat for 11.6 acres for site
number 2. The Commission requested revised and more detailed plans regarding landscaping,.
architecture, rooftop L:ec.hanical equipment and site sections from appropriate locations
such as Wilson Learning.
On March 12th, the Planning Commission reviewed Wilson Ridge again and, approved the
request based on the revised plans submitted on March 12th. Approval was 3-2.
The changes made from 1he original site plan were as follows:
1. The buildings wore redoted fvom approximately 70,000 sq. fb. to 66,300 sq. ft.; this
was done byehortening both boildinge by 35' and incorporating two 20' x 30' recesses
in each building.
2. Proof of s . 'b) of 3.4 spaces for 1,030 sq. ft. of gross floor area is now shown.
3. The road elevation adjacent to the major hill was revised so that the- total height
of the ctlininil iii I itS hien dial:) itch to one four foot wall compared to a 20'

REQUESTS: Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment on 60.85 acres;
Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from Office to Industrial for
18.93 acres; Planned Unit Development District Review and Zoning
District Change from Commercial-Regional to I-2 Park, with
variances, for 5.42 acres, and from Cormercial-Regional to Office,
with variances, for 18.64 acres; and Preliminary Plat of 60.85 acres
for two lots and five outlots
Background
The Planning Commission previously reviewed the Wilson Ridge Joint Venture proposal
at their meeting of February 13, 1984. The Commission returned the development
plans to the proponent for modification of the road alignment and land uses along
Highway #169 frontage in accordance with the concerns identified by the Planning
Commission and those of the Staff Report of February 10, 1984. Subsequently, Staff
met with the proponents on February 14, l984, to discuss the following
recoamendations:
1. Provide a written narrative substantiating the Guide Plan change from Office
to Industrial.
2. Modify .the development plans to minimize the need for excessive cutting and
filling on the property by exploring alternative uses, which would utilize
the existing natdral topography of the site.
3. Explore alternative road alignments, which would minimize the need for
excessive cut and fill and the use of retaining walls. .
4. Explore alternative grading plans, which would retain to the greatest extent
possible the existing natural character, specifically of the wooded hill on
the northern portion of the project.
5. Provide detailed retaining wall plans identifying use of materials and
Wilson Ridge (Revised) 2 February 21, 1984
structural soundness, with this detailed study, provide a planting design,
which would help mitigate the artificial impact of the retaining walls on
the wooded hill. Slope restoration plans should also be included.
6. Provide a detailed tree inventory identifying, by survey, all trees to be
removed from within the construction limits, 12-inches or greater in
diameter, and to a distance of 25 ft. beyond all construction limits and
road right-of-way.
7. Modify the landscape plan to introduce larger sized plant materials in order
to create scale between buildings and site, provide for increased buffering
of parking areas along Highway #169 and Valley View Road, introduce
planting islands to break up the extensive and expansive parking areas and,
provide for additional shade trees to supplement the ground cover materials
within the planting islands of the parking areas on the Wilson Learning
Center site.
8. Provide a traffic study identifying potential traffic impacts, trip
generation, trip attraction, and impacts upon affected street systems, with
recommendations for upgrading, if any.
9. Introduce additional open space within the industrial portion of the
development.
10. Provide proof of parking at five spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor
area for the Wilson Learning site, with grading details to explain how the
parking area can he acconeodated on the site.
11. Explore alternative architectural treatments of the office/industrial
buildings considering staggering of building fronts or variation of building
heights.
Current Prgposal
The proponent has responded to the recomnendations of the Planning Commission and
Staff in the following ways:
1. The proponent has not provided a written narrative substantiating the Guide
Plan change from Office to Industrial for Site #2.
2. The proponent has reduced their requested rezoning from Office to 1-2 Park
to Site #2, only. One of the industrial sites along Highway #169 has been
eliminated and planned as future Outlots A and B for office and industrial
use. Outlets 9 and f are still identified for future industrial and office
facilities.
3. The proponent has reduced the impect of one long, flat site along Highway
#119, which required 3? ft- of fill at the north end, by lowering Outlets A
and B. ay lowering these site, the central road accessing them has also
been lowered Iy aparoximately 10 ft lhe northern half of the central road
has beoo angled 10 ft. to 20 ft. further down the hill to allow more room
for slope, rather tHfl retaining walls. The net effect of these changes on
the major retaining wall in the central wooded hill is that the base of the
Wilson Ridge (Revised) 3 February ag, 1984
retaining wall starts at elevation 878 and the top is at elevation 899, a 21
ft. effective height, compared to the original 18 ft. height.
4. Plans for retaining walls along Flying Cloud Drive have been provided;
however, they represent only an enlargement of the plan view and do not
specify the construction materials, structural soundness, nor do they show
ways of mitigating the artificial impact of the retaining wall on the wooded
hill.
5. A tree inventory has been provided; however, it does not identify, by
survey, trees to be removed within construction limits and within road
right-of-way. Trees to he removed of 12-inch caliper size, and greater,
have been identified by general location, only.
6. Screening provisions of parking areas along Highway #169 have been
increased. Additional plantings and berming have been introduced. Site
sections reflect the extent of screening from Highway #I69. Screening of
parking areas from Valley View Road has not been provided. Shade trees have
also not been introduced into the planting islands of the parking areas
within the Wilsen Learning Center site. The size of materials of the
landscape plan remain the same and have not been upgraded.
7. The prnponent has not provided a traffic study identifying potential traffic
impacts, trip generation, trip attraction, and impacts upon affected street
systems, with recommendations for upgrading, if any.
8. Some additional open space has been introduced within the industrial portion
of the development within Outlet A.
9. Proof of parking is shown on the site plan; however, a grading plan has not
been provided.
10. Architectural plans and elevations for Site 02 have not been provided.
Building shape has been increased length by 70 ft. and has been changed
somewhat in form from the original request. The proponent has not completed
additional studies, and is asking the Commission to consider approval
conceptually of the industrial use on the property, subject to Staff review
and approval of the architectural treatments of the buildings.
Analysis
Current development plans have changed from the plans reviewed by the Planning
Comaission at their Fehruary 13, teal, moaning. The road is in approximately the
same location and still regaires the use of long and high retaining walls, with
substantial grading along the north side of oropoaed flying Cloud Drive. One of the
industrial sites along litehaav #169 has been eliminated and planned as future
outlets for office and industrial naage. Ontlote D and E are still identified for
future industrial and office faeilities. Davelopeent plans for all outlets on the
property are incleded ender the Pianned Unit neveloprent Concept request. Staff has
reservations relative to the inclus1en of OthLlet C es a future industrial facility,
since specific plans tor tntnee develeateent rciative to grading, site planning, and
architecture i iiatateetta have not been identified, Alao, the location of Outlot E
relative In nine :tile ereca: and the low land area provides a unique natural amenity
more condociva to oitice deveinpmenf, rather than large scale industrial
Wilson Ridge (Revised) 4 February 2f, 1984
development. Staff also has reservations about including Outlet A for future
industrial development, since specific architectural plans and site plans have not
been identified. The Wilson Learning Center site remains relatively unchanged.
Proof of parking at five spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area has been shown
on the site plan; however, specific engineering plans relative to the grading of the
existing land form have not been provided at this time.
The extensive use of filling along Highway #169 has been reduced substantially by an
alternative conceptual plan for Outlet 8, which calls for a multiple story office
use, with structured parking, Aid) can be terraced gradually up in elevation from
the low land area of Outlot C to the higher portions of the site plan on Outlot A
and Site #2. The impact of the long, fiat site, which required 32 ft. of fill at
the north end, has been reduced by lowering Outlots A and B. Flying Cloud Drive has
been proportionately lowered. The nct effect of these changes results in a 21 ft.
effective height of retaining walls, compared to the original 18 ft. height.
The Flying Cloud Driva access to Valley View Road has been shifted somewhat to the
south. Retaining walls are no longer identified in this location and have been
replaced by slopes of approximately 3-to-1. Specific slope stabilization plans and
plantings have not been provided in this area.
In order to try and reduce the effective height of the retaining wall and still not
have unacceptable grade relationships between the sites adjacent to Highway #169,
the Planning Staff suggests that the grading plan be revised along the following
lines (See Figure #1):
1. The curve adjacent to Outlot B has been moved approximately 25 ft., too far
west. By moving it hack to the east and raising its elevation to the 866-
868 elevation, it will allow the center portion of the road to be higher,
thereby reducing the height of the retaining walls.
2. Outlet B could be raised in elevation from 855 to 860. The highway is at
the 860 elevation adjacent to this lot, but the lot would still be 14 ft.
lower than originally proposed.
3. Outlet A could be raised five feet to elevation 380 and Site #2 would be
retained at its current elevation. This would allow the road elevation
adjacent to Outlet A to be raised from elevation 876-878 to 885, thus
allowing the base of the retaining wall adjacent to the road to start five
to seven feet higher, diminishing the height of the wall by at least five
feet.
4. Instead of a six-foot and ten-foot high wall with three feet of grade in
between (total height 19 ft.), there could be a six-foot and a five-foot
wall with three feet of grade in between (total height 14 ft.).
5. The 3-n-1 slope atop the retaining walls could be increased to 2-to-1
because of the detreased height of walls.
If all these channes are made, a detailed slope restoration plan and planting plan
for the retaining well baee and spaee in betanao rest be submitted and reviewed
before it can be detetaaued whether the retaining wall alternative is acceptable.
The industrial buildinae now proposed on Site #2 are 70 ft. longer (420 ft.) than
Wilson Ridge (Revised) 5 February 21, 1984
originally proposed. Outlet 8 has been extended slightly further north into the
flood plain and poor soils. A 15 ft. front yard variance is sought for Site #2
along the Flying Clouo Drive frontage and will be sought for Outlot A. A five-foot
variance to parking is sought for Site 1/2 along Highway #169 and will be sought for
.Outlot A.
One solution to the slopes, poor soils, land use question, and open space between
uses along Highway 069 may be to approve Site #2 as originally proposed, reducing
the building length by 70 ft. This reduction would allow Outlots A and 8 to slide
south, thereby reducing the percentage of grade up from the flood plain and between
the two outlots.
An additional change that could be planned for Outlot A which should allow the
central road to be placed closer to the 890 elevation adjacent to Outlot A, would be
to move any building on this site out toward Highway #169, thereby allowing more
distance to take up the grade between the first floor elevation of the building and
the public road.
Issues
There are several key issues associated with this development proposal, including
traffic impacts, road location, and highest and best use of the land. These issues
raise the following questions:
1. Has a case been made to substantiate a Guide Plan Change from Office to
Industrial throughout the Planned Unit Development, and specifically for
Site #2?
2. Does the development proposal of the proponent represent the highest and
best use of the property?
3. Are the buildings and uses proposed along Highway #169 in keeping with the
high-quality office image approach envisioned for keystone sites of the
Major Center Area?
4. Is it appropriate to rezone Site #2 from Office to 1-2 Park subject to Staff
review of architectural plans?
5. ShoOdOutlots B and F be considered for conceptual approval of industrial
use without site plan, architectural, and grading details?
6. Does the developmnt plan proposed represent an improvement over the
existing approved plan in the way is responds to site constraints?
7. Have the impacts on adjacent street systems heen acceptably documented?
RECOXMINDATIONS .
The Planning. Cur eission has several alternatives for action regarding the proposal:
Alternative #I:
The project could ke re:.0 ,:nPnded for denial by the Coffimission because it is not in
Wilson Ridge (Revised) 6 February 2, 1984
conformance with the Comprehensive Guide Plan, and it causes major modification of a
site of high visual quality, which is inappropriate at this location in the City.
Alternative #2:
The project could be returned to the proponent for modification of the road
alignment and land uses along Highway #169 frontage in accordance with this Staff
Report and that of February 10, 1984.
Alternative #3:
The Comnission could recommend approval of the Planned Unit Development excluding
Outlots A and D for future industrial use, a rezoning of the Wilson Learning Center
site to Office, a rezoning of Site #2 from Office to Industrial subject to changes
in the Staff Report under Analysis, and the following:
1. Prior to City Council review, proponent shall:
A. Provide a written narrative substantiating the Comprehensive Guide
Plan change from Office to Industrial.
B. Provide a traffic study, prepared by a professional traffic
engineer, identifying traffic impacts, trip generation, and trip
attraction for the project and impacts upon affected street systems,
with recomhendations for upgrading, if any.
C. Provide a tree inventory identifying all trees of 12-inch caliper
and greater to be removed from within the construction limits and to
a distance of 25 ft. beyond all construction limits, including the
road right-of-way, documented by survey.
D. Provide .detailed retaining wall plans identifying construction
materials, structural soundness, and ways of mitigating the height
and length of the retaining Us.
E. Modify the landscape plan to provide for an appropriate level
buffering of parking areas from Valley View Road, to introduce shade
trees within the planting islands of the Wilson Learning Center
site, and upgrade the size of all plant materials.
F. Modify the grading plan to show how the additional parking areas can
be accommodated on site.
G. Provide architectural plans and building elevations, which indicate
the type of building materials and shape of buildings for Staff
Review.
2. Prior to final plat approval, proponent shall:
A. Submit slope stabilization and erosion control plans to the
Engineering Department for review and cement.
R. Sobmit grading and drainage plans to the Nine Mile Creek Watershed
District tor review and comnent.
Wilson Ridge (Revised) 7 February 1984
C. Dedicate scenic easements for all areas identified for preservation
and along both sides of the Nine Mile Creek, dimensions of which
shall be determined by the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources
Commission.
3. Prior to building permit issuance, proponent shall:
A. Pay the appropriate Cash Park Fee as determined by the Parks,
Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission.
B. Construct the pedestrian trails as proposed on the plan.
C. Submit detailed landscape plans identifying by location tree size,
type, quantity, and method of installation.

••
Wilson Ridge Staff Report 2 February 10, 1984
There are two smaller knolls, approximately 15 ft. shorter than the major knoll,
lying on the south third of the site. The southwesterly knoll is partially covered
with elm woods.
4 Vegetation
Although we had asked for a detailed tree inventory on the site, which would
differentiate those areas of softwoods from the oak areas and from the elm areas, we
did not receive a tree inventory in this type of detail. We do know that the
softwood trees lie very 104 on the slope of the major wooded hill and we know that
the elm vegetation occurs on the southern tip of the overall site. Although the
graphic submitted by the proponent tabulating the amount of vegetation saved as a
comparison to the originally approved plan indicates that the Wilson Ridge plan
saves 3.56 acres of trees and the Thorn Creek plan saves 8.2 acres of trees, we find
that, when we compare the vegetation saved south of the creek in the major areas
between the two plaids that the original plan saves 7.78 acres and the Wilson Ridge
plan saves 6.09 acres of trees. The type of trees saved in the original plan seem
also to be much higher quality mature oak trees than the trees saved in the Wilson
Ridge plan, which would be mostly softwoods and elms.
Wilson Ridge Business Camous Comparison
The primary differences between the Wilson Ridge and Thorn Creek plans are building
use and land utilizatioo. The Thorn Creek plan involves a combination of office,
residential, and service related activities, including a restaurant and racquet ball
club. Approximately 300,000 sq. ft. of building area is proposed. Comparatively
speaking, uses proposed on the Wilson Ridge plan are for office and industrial uses,
involving approximately 350.00 sq. ft. of building area. If development of Outlots
C and D occur, an additional 150,000 sq. ft. of building is possible.
Thorn Creek development plans are more sensitive to existing natural conditions, by
utilizing multi-level building types that can adjust to slopes in sensitive areas.
Natural level areas of the site would be planned for parking. Parking ramps are
also proposed so that changes in existing sli is could be held to a minimum. The
Wilson Ridge plan proposes office/warehouse buildings that are not compatible with
the existing terrain. A considerable amount of fill (in excess of 30 ft. in some
areas) is required in order to accommodate large building footprints.
The current proposal for the road alignment is different from the originally
approved plan. The leg of the road which was envisioned to project directly south
to Valley View Road has been eliminated in order to accommodate the overall Wilson
Learning building and site development. line sole access to Valley View Road
currently is out to the east down a long, steep draw. The other major change in the
road alignment is that it has bee pushed 200 ft. further east up into the hill from
the original Planned Unit Development (POD) road alignment and 110 ft. further east
up into the hill from the subsequent grading plan for the original Thorn Creek road
alignment.
Since the original PUD plan utilised the toe of the slope of the large oak-wooded
hill for tie road, it mostly removed vegetation low on the slope, which is
aspen, cottonwood, and othLn softwood species. The effect of moving
the coad v o r' th,In 100 ft. furtiaar east up into the hill is that it not
only r000ves the hino:' (;.1.11ity, m.ltore oat: vcgetaLino, but it creates the need for
several hundred feet tiored retaining walls totalling more than 10 ft. in height
Wilson Ridge Staff Report 3 February 10, 1984
at the bottom of a 28 ft. high, 2-to-1 slope, graded up into the wooded area. The
difference in the original approach of the road alignment and the current proposal
is dramatic when you negin to look at the grading details and the proposed retaining
walls and cross-reference this construction area with the actual tree types on the
site.
The apparent reason for kiwi road relocation is to increase the width of the parcels
immediately adjacent to Highway W169 for the proper depth for a office/warehouse
type of development. Since the office/warehouse sites are fronted on both sides by
public road, it is necessary to provide interior courts for loading areas. If the
dimension proposed for these lots fronting Highway #169 is a minimum for this type
of development, it begins to bring into doubt the appropriateness of the
office/warehouse type use on this difficult of a site.
The extensive use of retaining walls along the north/south portion of future Flying
Cloud Drive anticipated in the new plan will appear very artificial as compared with
the natural slopes, which could be preserved, if developed in the fashion of the
originally approved plan.
Future Development
Ultimate development of the property involves building development on Outlots C and
D for office and industrial/research development usage. Outlot C is a 5.4- acre
site in the northeast portion of the property immediately adjacent to the flood
plain area and Nine Mile Creek. Under industrial zoning maximum building
development for a one-story building may be as much as 70,000 sq. ft. Accordingly,
parking, if based upon an assumed 50% office, 50% warehouse ratio, would be 240
vehicles. Using 300 sq. ft. per vehicle as a general square footage requirement for
parking and maneuverability means that a total of 70,000 sq. ft. of the property
would have to be devoted to hard-surfaced parking. Total building and parking
coverage on the property would be approximately 142,000 sq. ft., or 66% of the total
land area. Slope treatment on the site appears to he working contary to the
meandering movement of Nine Mile Creek as it flows from the northeast portions of
the site. Grade changes along the nortt. A property line should be softened
considerably to blend better with the surrounding low land and creek area..
Outlot U is a 6.39-acre site for a future office facility. Approximately 50% of the
site is reserved for a preservation area to maintain the existing wooded slope area.
Approximately 50,000 sq. ft. of office building with two levels of underground
parking is conceptually sbown on this area. To accomodate building development on
Outlot D in its current configuration requires considerable usage of retaining walls
to accommodate the steep siopos. A significant portion of the natural wooded slopes
must he removed in order to accommodate parking.
Development plans for Outlots C and D are sketchy at this time. Under a Planned
Unit Development Concept. tb ,re specific plans would, of course, be necessary for
any rezoning request of these sites.
Gradinc2 Retainine
Proposed grades in stivorl areas of the project are in excess of 3 -1 slopes, and
will rcouire specil troa'a for -lope ste,h1i7c.tion, such as retaining walls or
TOSS pkIntings. reHinino walls are lu.iii7e4, heights vary between 8-15 ft.
Specific wall usteemi I has at identified, though for each wall of double-
/ 1.
Wilson Ridge Staff Report 4 February 10, 1984
tiered walls the materials should he architecturally compatible with the project and
treated with plant material to soften the hard appearance of the walls. Retaining
walls can be an ongoing problem in areas hwnediately adjacent to public right-of-
way. These walls must be structurally designed to withstand horizontal and vertical
Imovements of soil loads behind these walls in order to minimize street maintenance
and potential traffic hazards. All walls are proposed to be constructed on private
property. Detailed plans of the retaining walls identifying use of materials and
structural soundness should be submitted to the Engineering Department for review
and comment.
Grading/Wilson Learning
The approach to grading of the current proposal on the Wilson Learning portion of
the site is different from the original plan, but is sensitive to the overall
character of the land corms. A good attempt is made to preserve the majority of the
land form lying east of the proposed Wilson Learning building and the wooded land
form lying to the southwest of the building. The balance of the Wilson Learning
site is planned in such a way that it surrounds the building with parking for close
proximity to the building. Terracing is used extensively in the parking area. This
will allow the opportunity not only to accentuate the regraded land form and
building, but also for adequate area within the parking lot for heavy landscaping to
break up the asphalt areas from the building and from views and other uses
surrounding the site.
Grading/Office/Warehouse Area
The Welsh office/warehouse buildings planned along Highway #169 require large
coverage and relatively level-finished sites. In order to accommodate this, the
proposed plan would require as much as 32 ft. of fill on the north end of the
office/warehouse area. This fill, as proposed, would create a very hard edge to the
natural creek area and would appear as a visual wall when viewed from Highway #169
coming from the north. This entire site is one of the predominant entrances to the
Eden Prairie Downtown Najor Center Area and to the community as a whole. The
character of this site is impressive as it ex: 'Is today with the high hills and
large amounts of oak vegetation. Proceediog with the Welsh office/warehouse
building proposal along Hiohway fl69 frontage would completely alter this character
through the use of large amounts of fill, steep, artificial grades, excessive use of
long, low, linear buildings, and dependence on retaining walls for the development
of the property.
Parkilla
Parking has been provided in accordance with minimum Code requirements for the
office/warehouse buildings in this project. Wilson Learning has provided a plan for
parking based upon a ratio of four parting spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of office area.
This is a difference of approxiuly l!12 additional parking spaces. If it can be
demonstrated by the proponent that the piovision of parking spaces based on a four-
per-1,000 sq. ft. ratio would be adequate to satisfy current parking demands, then
the development plan should reflect proof of packing for the additional 142 spaces.
Wilson Ridge Staff Report 5 February 10, 1984
Traffic Imparts
Development is expected to generate approximately 4,000 ADT as compared with 3,500
ALIT in the Thorn Creek plan. It can be anticipated that approximately 1,600 ADT
would utilize the south entrance to Valley View Road, 1,200 ALIT would utilize the
Flying Cloud Drive intersection at Valley View Road, and 1,200 ADT flow northbound
on Flying Cloud Drive Shedy OA Road. Current Lee Data, plus future expansions, may
add 800 ADT to the eastern access at Valley View Road. It may be necessary to
extend current improvements to Valley View Road beyond Smetana Lane to Flying Cloud
Drive. Improvements will likely include a left-turn lane and bypass at the south
entrance to the site, and a left turn lane, right-out lane, with bypasses at Flying
Cloud Drive.
Site Planning
Development on this site is proposed to preserve significant environmentally
sensitive areas through careful siting of building and parking areas. There are
some areas in which tight relationships exist due to floor area ratios which
approach 0.30. The office/warehouse portion of the site appears to be over-built,
due to large building footprints and provision of parking spaces. This leaves
inadequate land area for effective screening and buffering of parking areas from
public view, especially from Highway #169. Alternative site plans should be
explored such that additional open space can be introduced. Reduced building
footprints, or alternative uses, may provide appropriate solutions.
Landscapi2gr.
There are significant enviroementally sensitive areas on the site which should be
preserved to the greatest extent possible so that much of the original site identity
can be retained. Preservation areas have been identified on the preliminary plat as
Outlets A, B, and portions of Outlot 0 and Site #1. These outlot areas are either
low land/flood plain areas around Mine Mile Creek or upland wooded slopes. Other
natural slopes and woodland areas, especially on the Wilson Learning Center site,
are retained through careful siting of builcL and parking areas. Trees will be
removed from proposed street right-of-ways. An inventory should be 'made to
determine the type and size of materials to be removed.
A conceptual landscape plan has been provided that is very general in nature.
Considering the size and form of the office/warehouse buildings, it is very
important that the landecapa plan utilize larger materials in order to create scale
between buildings and site. In addition, the use of overstury trees and shrubs are
not adequate enough to effectively screen parking and loading areas along Highway
#169. These buffer areas should be supplemented with large coniferous trees and
berming to provide a pleasing visual image of arrival toward the Major Center Area.
To reduce the adverse impact of extensive hard-surfaced parking areas, planting
islands should be added.

Wilson Ridge Staff Report 6 February 10, 1984
View Road and Highway a169 since overstory trees and shrubs do not provide adequate
screening. These areas should be supplemented with coniferous trees and berming.
Architecture
Building material and shape are extremely important aspects of this proposal
considering the visibility of this area from Highway #169. Building elevations
indicate a primary building material of face brick, with glass and anodized metal as
accent materials. Materials are appropriate and consistent with treatments commonly
fouod on high-profile office buildings in other portions of the City. The shape of
the office/warehouse buildings is inconsistent with appearance of buildings in high-
profile, visible areas in other portions of the City. Office/warehouse buildings
are proposed to be ooe-story. As viewed from Highway tfl69, because of the overall
length, the buildines would appear as a long, wall. Changes in building heights,
and/or staggering of building fronts can provide a more visually attractive
development as viewed from Highway #169.
The development brcehure speaks of this piece of property as a transitional use
between the industrial land to the north and the commercial land in the Major Center
Area to the south. ten Data has submitted additional plans for an expansion of
their use from 50,000 sq. ft. of office and 200,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing to an
additional 50,000 sq. ft. of office, which would occupy the entire view from the
Highway #169 frontage. Clearly, then, the Lee Data campus use will have very much
of an office appearance and needs no further transition to the commercial area lying
further south. In addition, the natural land form and vegetation on the Meatcutters
site will, in itself, act very much as a transition to more intensive land uses
further south. The current proposal for the Welsh office/warehouse buildings along
the Highway #169 frontaae is not in keeping with this high-quality office image
approach to the Major Center Area and requires extensive modification of the natural
site in order to fit their particular product. The original approach to this
property was to design a project which fit the land. The Welsh office/warehouse
building projeet, as proposed, clearly does not fit this piece of property, but
rather modifies the property to fit it.
The Planning Staff has spoken with representatives of Welsh and with Hustad
Development Corporation, which is coordinating and acting as the liaison with this
project with the City. We had expressed, several months ago, our concerns regarding
an industrial land use for this property, and cautioned a very careful, high-quality
custom approach to the site. Ttae project, as proposed, is the same basic concept
the Planning Staff reviewed more thee two months ago, and voiced concerns about.
The significant ellanga ChiCh occorred between those conversations and submission is
that the office/wareaousa sites heve been raised approximately 10 ft. in order to be
at a closer relationship with the proposed Flying Cloud Drive.
We have spoken with representatives from husked Oevelopment Corporation during the
first week in February, and have oncouraaed them to madify the plan to eliminate the
need for excessive cuttiog and filling on the property. One possibility we
sueactsted was the incorperasion of approximately the northern third of the Welsh
office/asecehouse lofs a; A small office but which could be multiple story in
nature and waule provide parking hi a romp structure, rather than requiring
excessive fill. this a:told do two things: I) It would preclude the need for the
artificial treateent el the site with a 32 ft. fill; and, 2) It would place an
office use at the north end of the Welsh auildinge, Aieh would visually screen the
end vicuis and leading erees from approach co Hiehwey 269 coming from the north.
Wilson Ridge Staff Report 7 February 10, 1984
This would not necessarily solve any of the problems of views onto the top of the
warehouse buildings and into the loading areas from the surrounding multiple story
office buildings. Wilson Ridge, as proposed, will look directly north down the
"barrel" of the loading areas for the Welsh office/warehouse area and on top of the
roofs. The future office building proposed to the east would have a similar view
and any office building to the north would be also affected.
The second suggestion we made regarded the location of the road. We suggested
bringing the central section of Flying Cloud Drive out toward the Highway #169
frontage, rather than through a major portion of the hill. At this writing, we
understand that the proponent is doing studies regarding a site reconfiguration and
we have informed them that we would review them when completed.
Summary
The plan for Wilson Ridge Business Campus is not acceptable in its current form
because of the large amount of site modification necessary brought on by the road
relocation and large, flat coverages necessary for the Welsh office/warehouse
buildings. The office/warehouse buildings are very long, low, and linear in nature
and present very little visual interest or character from the Highway #169 view.
The excessive use of fill on the northern third of this office/warehouse site must
be eliminated, and some design proposed which would also eliminate the poor
relationship of these low office/warehouse buildings to the taller multiple story
office buildings around them. The views into the loading areas from the surrounding
office uses and on top of the roofs from the surrounding office uses does not
provide a compatible mix of uses.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning Commission has several alternatives for actions regarding the proposal:
1. The project could be returned to the proponent for modification of the road
alignment and land uses along the Highway #169 frontage in accordance with
this Staff Report.
2. The project could be recommended for denial by the Planning Commission
because it is not in conformance with the Comprehensive Guide Plan and
causes major modification of a site of high visual quality that is
inappropriate at this location in the City.

Mr. Dennis Truempi, proponent, reviewed the project with the
Commission. He stated that responsive to the request of Staff that
lots be eliminated in order to comply with Guide Plan densities
allowed for the project, four lots had been removed from the plan.
He showed the revised plan to the Commission and explained the
difference that the elimination of the lots made to the project.
Planner Frnzen reviewed the findings and recommendations of the
Staff Report with the Commission. He stated that six lots would
need to be eliminated from the project in order to meet the Guide
Plan alloweble densities. Planner Franzen pointed out that, while
elimination of four of the lots did solve several of the frontage
problems within the project, it did not bring the plan into
conformance with the 2.5 uni per acre allowed.
Mr. Truempi stated that in his opinion, the elimination of two more
lots would not make enough difference, nor would it improve the
project. He stated that due to the shape of the property, it would
be difficult to obtain additional lot depth for any of the lots.
Planner Enger pointed out that the previous plan proposed for this
property had 15-16 lots less than what was currently proposed.
Chairmon Rearman asked for comments and questions from members of
the audience. There were none.

STAFF REPORT
Planning Commission
Michael D. Franzen, Senior Planner
Chris Enger, Director of Planning
March 9, 1984
Autumn Woods 2nd Addition
East of Autumn Woods 1st Addition, North of Chicago-Milwaukee and
St. Paul Railroad, South of Rymarland Camp Additions
Dennis J. Truempi, Trumpy Homes
Zoning District Change from RM-6.5 to R1-9.5, Zoning District Change
from R1-13.5 to R1-9.5 and Preliminary Plat of 31 acres for 80
single family lots and 8 duplex lots.
Backgronnd
The Comprehensive Guide Plan identi-
fies a combination of residential
medium and low density resid2ntial
land uses for this property.
Surrounding land uses are primarily
residential to the north am , east of
the site with a railroad and
industrial uses to the south.
The eastern half of the site is
heavily wooded with mature mplo,
oak, and basswood. Tnis corresponds
with the proposed R1-13.5 single
family lots. The western half of
this property is open with a gentle
slope from the north tc the south.
Guide Plan/Ordinanco Peguirements
In 1931, the Guide Plan identified a
Low Density Residential land use For
this property for up to 2.0 units
per acre. The original preliminary
plat and rezoning wore approved at
an overall density of 2.0 units por
acre. Tho preliminary plat. involved
46 two-iamily lots and .00 single
family lots on 42 artos of land.
Autumn Woods 2nd Addition 2 March 9, 1984
The Autumn Woods 1st Addition final plat involved a platting of 16 duplex lots along
Twilight Trail and several outlots for the balance of the property.
Autumn Woods 2nd Addition is a replat of Outlets I and J Autumn Woods 1st Addition.
The current Comprehensive Guide Plan now permits up to 2.5 units per acre for Low
Density Residential land uses. The current proposal is for 2.83 units per acre
based upon 31 acres of developable land. Densities of the proposed RM-6.5 zone and
R1-13.5 zone are within allowable densities. However, the proposed R1-9.5 zone is
at a density of 4.06 units per acre, one-half unit per acre more than Code currently
permeits.
Staff has met with the proponent end his consultant to discuss ways in which the
overall density of the project might meet the current Guide Plan density of 2.5
units per acre. Stolif suggested that a reduction of six (6) lots within the
proposed R1-9.5 zone would not only permit the overall density of the project to be
at 2.5 units per acre, but the density within the R1-9.5 zone would also be at 3.5
units per acre.
The City currently has easements over Outlet E, F, and H of Autumn Woods 1st
Addition (See Attachment A). Ootlot E is the current location of a City water
tower, Outlet F is a road access to Hidden Ponds Park, and Outlot H is for future
Dell Road right-of-way. Adding the land area within these outlots (1.6 acres) to
the overall net developable lard arca of 31 acres, results in a density of 2.69
units per acre ba.,scd upon 32.6 acres of land. Eliminating six lots within the
proposed R1-9.5 zone would reduce the overall density of the project to 2.5 units
per acre and reduce the density of the proposed R1-9.5 zone to 3.5 units per acre.
Architecture
A particular problem with R1-9.5 zoning is that often lots are platted with a
minimem 55-foot frontage, which limits the variety of building units that can be
built within current setback limitations, resulting in a project where buildings
have a tendency to look very . similar. The , ,umn Woods 2nd Addition plat identifies
variable lot frontages betwcpn seventy to one hundred twenty feet along Autumn Woods
Lane and the north side of Twilight Trail. Street. frontages for the proposed R1-9.5
zone along the south side of Twilioht Trail are narrow and similar. Eliminating one
R1-9.5 lot ln this location allows more variable street frontages along the south
side of Twilight Irail.
Architecture and unit type are extremely important when considering requests for
higher density single family zoning (R1-9.5). IL is current City policy to require
the developer to provide an overall development plan, which depicts the varying unit
types on individual lots rdthin the project. The proponent has provided Staff with
five different building types for these single family homes. In addition, the
propenent nas identified six alternative two-family plans for' the proposed duplex
lots within this sebdivisioo. Staff recoamends that proponent provide a site plan
shervino the proposed unit types on each lot. The site plan should reflect unit
locationa sorb th;11. in twti similar units types sitio by side, or within two (2)
lots directly across, or di000nally from each other for the proposed R1-9.5
xw -rT and no two similar unit. Types ehould be sida by ido, in the RM-6.5 two-family

Lot Depth/Width
Lots 9 through 24, Block 1, do nut meet the minimum depth requirement of 150 ft. for
lots abutting railroad property. The proponent will need variances from the Board
' of Appeals. A previous development plan of the proponent identified lots along the
railroad property meeting the minimum 150 ft. requirement. However, lots in the
other portion of the project were shallow in depth and often did not meet the
minimum depth requirement for R1-9.5 zoning. Staff suggested at that time the
proponent consider reducing lot depth along the railroad property by 10 ft. and
adding this property to other lots to make them more usable.
Proposed R1-9.5 lots along the north side of Autumn Woods Lane abut existing R1-13.5
lots of the Rymarland Camp Addition. Lot widths of the proposed R1-9.5 zone should
correspond more closely with the rear lot widths of the abutting RI-13.5 zone.
Staff suggests that two lots be removed from Block 3 and lot widths adjusted
accordingly.
Dell Road
The Comprehensive Guide Plan identifies Dell Road as a future colledtor street to be
completed from existing Dell Road to Highway W5. Engineering is currently studying
road alignments. Although plans are preliminary at this time, there may be a need
for additional right-of-way along Lots 28 and 29 to allow for proper curvature and
alignment of the road. Staff recrmends that an appropriate amount of right-of-way,
as determined by the Engineering Department, be dedicated as part of the final plat
for the Autumn Woods 2nd Addition.
Pedestrian Systems
A five-foot wide concrete sidewalk should be constructed along Twilight Trail,
Autumn Woods Lane, and Kristie Lane. The exact location of the trails shall be
determined by the Parks,. Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Planning Staff would recommend approval of request for rezoning from RM-6.5 to RI-
9.5, rezonino from R1-13.5 to R1-9.5 and Preliminary Plat of 31.0 acres subject to
the following:
1. Prior to City Council review, proponent shall:
A. Submit revised plans showing a reduction in density within
the R1•9.5 zone, eliminating six (6) lots, two along the
north side of Automn Woods Lane, two along the south side of
Twilioht Trail, and two from Block 2.
2. Prior to final plat, proponent shall:
A. Submit plans indicating the construction limits for grading,
proposed location for snow fencing for preservation for
eXiStlnq 061, trees on site, and erosion control methods, to
be improved by the Engineering Department.
B. Submit detailed sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, and
C;)I
Autumn Woods 2nd Addition 4 March 9, 1984
street plans for the Engineering Department for review.
C. Provide a storm water drainage plan to be reviewed and
approved by the Riley-Purgatory Watershed District.
D. Convey Outlots E, F, and H,. Autumn Woods 1st Addition to
the City clear of any mortgages, liens, assessments, or
encumberances.
3. Prior to building permit issuance, proponent shall:
A. Pay the appropriate cash park fee.
B. Provide an overall development plan using the plat of the
development to indicate the particular unit type, which
could be built on each lot. A front elevation of each unit
type, key to overall plan should also be included. No two
unit types should be the same side by side, across or
diagonally from each other. This information should be
submitted to the Planning Department for review.
C. Concurrent with street construction, construct five-foot
wide concrete sidewalks along Twilight Trail, Autumn Woods
Lane, and Kristie Lane.

addition woold relate to the other Norseman Additions, as well as
the surrounding properties. He also reviewed the road patterns in
the vicinity.
Planner Enger reviewed the findings and recommendations of the Staff
Report for this project with the Commission.
Torjesen asked how many acres would be left after the development of
this site within Mr. Hellos control. Mr. Hello responded that he
would have approximately 20 acres remaining.
Ms. Shron Schneider, representing Valley Place Offices, asked what
uses vamild be allowed on the sites. Mr. Hello responded that
industrial uses similar to those in other 1-2 .Park areas of the City
would he developed on those sites. Ms. Schneider asked if there
would he additional hearings rodarting these proposed uses.
Chairman Dearman responded that the Council would be holding
additional hearings on this project. Notices would be sent to the
surr sir ire. properly owners of that meeting as well. Ms. Schneider
exprvd concern for Lhe lack of informeiLion availdble about the
future IlOs on inesci sites.
Planning Commission Minutes 9 March 12, 1984
Gartner asked how much control the City would have if these sites
were allowed to be zoned without knowledge of the proposed uses.
Planner Enger responded that, as in the past with other Norseman
Additions, this could be handled in the developer's agreement for
the project. It. was Staff's recommendation that at such time as a
user was found for the sites, those sites would be required to be
reviewed by the Planning Commission and Council and receive City
approvals. Also, surrounding property owners would again be
notified of the meetings regarding these projects.

Site Plan
Building types and locations are not identified on the application materials
submitted by the proponent. Within the written materials, Mr. Helle states that
since the users are rot known, the design of the buildings for the sites would be
speculative at this time. Any building construction on these lots would be required
to meet all applicable ordinance requirements and building codes. The proponent
should submit architectural elevations, site plans, grading plans, and landscaping
plans for site plan review before the Planning Coonission and City Council.
Zoning
Regulations of the 1-2 Park Zoning District apply relative to this development
proposal. The request exceeds the minimum lot size, width, and depth requirements
of this district. Staff will review the building application relative to Floor Area
Ratio, parking, height, and setbacks prior to building permit issuance. At this
time, no variances are being requested. Variances are not anticipated due to the
ample size and configuration of both industrial lots.
Future Roads
The Guide Plan identifies a future collector street running from Valley View Road
along the western border of this site to a future collector street along 1-494. The
development plans of the proponent indicate a right-of-way to be dedicated along the
west property line. Mr. Hello currently owns property to the south of this site.
Staff reconnends that no further subdivision or rezoning of the balance of the
property occur without dedication of right-of-wey for the north/south collector to
the property's southern boundary. Dedication of right-of-way should occur within
two years of the date of the final plat approval.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Planning Staff recomeends the following alternative recommendations for
consideration by the Planning Commission;
Alternative #1:
The Commission could recneaand denial since the applicant has not provided
information required for site plan review, including site plan, landscape plan,
grading plan, and architectural eievations.
Alternative e2.
The Commission could return the developneet proposal to the proponent for revision
and provision of information required for site plan review, including site plan,
landscape plan, and architectural elevations.
Alternative #3.
The Comissien could reconiend approval of the Preliminary Plat of 11.8 acres into
two (2) lots and re; ming from Rural to 1-2 Park, subject to the following:
1. Submission of architectur.-11 elevations, site plans, grading plans, and
laniscaping picas tor review by the Plennieg Commission and Council prior to

Council apuroval of your project, Southwest Crossing, subject to the recommendations
of the Staff Report &tad March 9, 1984. Prior to review by the Council, you should
revise the development plans to reflect the changes listed below:
1. Revise the site plan to reflect proof of parking at a ratio of four
parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, with proof
of parking provided at a ratio of five spaces per 1,000 square feet
of gross floor area.
2. Modify the site plan to remove all signage from road right-of -ways
to an area where they will not interfere with sight lines.
3. Provide a traffic study identifying projected ADT impacts upon
affected roads, intersections and critical access points to Viking
Drive, with recommendations for appropriate road improvements.
4. Provide a description of the range of colors, materials, and
percentages of of materials to be used for the proposed building,
retaining walls, and structured parking areas.
5. Modify the landscape plan to include an appropriate level of
plantings and berming to screen parking areas from the public view,
additional 1-xlantirgs in front of the s `ructorod parking area
adjacent to Prairie Center Drive, remove planting areas from road
right-of-way, and increase plant material sizes to an overall
calipf:r size of thrc:e inches, with a two and one -half inch caliper
size minimum.
Based on your presentation at the Comaission meeting, much of this work has already
been com2leted; it is merely a matter of having the written or plan material
submitted to us in revised form for Council review.
It would also he holprul if you would provi6e prints of your overall Concept Plan

V. DEVELNMENT PROPOSALS
A. Soj1iST COSSING, by Vantage Companies. Request for
Fliained Unit--IevelL' At Concept Amendment and Zoning
District Change from Commercial Regional to Office for an
Office building on 8,17 acres. Location: Northeast
Quadrant of Prairie Center Drive and 1-494. A public
hearing.
Mr. Raliegh NPWS3M, Vantage Properties, reviewed the history of
Vantage as a developer over the past several years. He stated that
they wore one of the ten largest real estate developers in the
United SteLes, with a local office in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Mr. Roger Seitz, Skichore, Owings, and Merrill, architects for the
proponent, reviewed the site in relation to the surrounding uses.
Mr. kohert lurner, Shdraore, Oaine,s, and Merrill, reviewed the
elevations of the huileing and site- characteristics. Kr. Seitz
added that Vdntago felt strongly about the landscaping for the site,
especially aloPg the highway frontage.
Mr. N2 stated that it would he their intention to break ground
by J lnn2, 19A. Construction vd:aa waild he approximately
fourti n enh , thercior2, allowlrg opening of the building in
Planning Commission Minutes 5 March 12, 1984
approximately September, 1985. Concurrent with the early phases of
the censtruction for the office building, it was Vantage's intention
to construct Viking Drive to its intersection with Prairie Center
Drive.
Planner Enger reviewed the findings and recommendations of the Staff
Report for the project. He pointed out several concerns regarding
exterior materials, landscaping to provide scale for a building as
large as this, proper sight distances at entrance drives to the
site, and parking. Planner Enger stated that all of the
recomnendations made in the Staff Report had been discussed with the
proponent, and that they had no difficulties with compliance with
any of the recomnendations.
Torjesen asked what uses had been included in the previously
approved Planned Unit Development for the site. Planner Enger
stated that four auto dealerships were proposed as uses at that
time. Torjesen expressed concern that this building was shown more
or less in isolation from the remainder of the 100-acre site. He
asked about its relationship to future surrounding uses. Mr. Newsam
responded that it was the intention of Vantage to move the higher
office density to the west where the access was the best. Less
intense uses would be planned in the future to the east of this
site.
Torjesen stated that the normal process for showing density transfer
would be throueb a Planned Unit Development; however, even though
proponent was proposing a Planned Unit Development Concept amendment
at this time, the majority of land included within the Planned Unit
Development was not shown as to its future uses. He stated that he
felt uncomfortable allowing for the transfer of density without
knowing what the remaining uses would be and how they would relate
to this site. Torjesen stated that it should be made clear to the
proponent that it was not tJe - ity's intention to allow this high 4 of
a density on the entire 100-acre site.
Mr. Newsom stated that a Concept Plan did exist for the entire 100-
- acre site. This plan had been presented to the City Staff and would
be apiv3ring hefere the Planning Conlission at a future meeting. At
this tire, however, it was Vantage's intention to have this
building, on its own merits, reviewed by the City. It was Vantage's
opinion that this site would stand on its own.
Chairman Beaman asked if Vantage had ever done a project of this
si7.0 in the past. Mr. Ne.,isam stated that they had and reviewed
three oiFitir projects of this size, or greattr, that Vantage had
completed in other cities within the United States.
Chair;c:ui 1.1earmn asked Vantage representatives about the variances
propod For floor area ratio arid heiont of the structure. Mr.
Newsxi st:Aed that pen review of the City's Major Center Area
PI;nine.t bait Pevalepraant, VU:de felt that the variances were
;..pproiTi. For hei0t, the City had stated that additional height
over tra oning Ordivante sax mucus would he allowed within the Major
Planning Comnission Minutes 6 March 12, 1984
Center Area. As to floor area ratio, it was Vantage's opinion that
they had compensated well for this by provision of underground
parking. Actual impervious cover of the site was comparable to that
of other sites of office usage within the City. Mr. Turner stated
that the quantity of structured parking for the project was 66%.
Chairman Dearman asked for comments and questions from members of
the audience. There were none.
MOTION 1:
Motion was made by Hallett, seconded by Gartner, to close the public
hearing.
Motion carried-5-0-0
MOTION 2:
Motion was made by Hallett, seconded by Schuck, to recommend to the
City Council, approval of the request for Planned Unit Development
Concept Amendment for Vantage Companies for the Southwest Crossing,
for a 247,000 sq. ft. office building on 8.17 acres, based on plans
and written materials presented to the Planning Commission, dated
February, 1984, subject to the recowndations of the Staff Report
dated March 9, 1984, and based upon the assumption that the
increased density of this site will be offset by lower densities in
the development of the property to the east within the overall 100-
acre project. Also, prior to approval of any additional plans
within the 100-acre area, a Concept plan for the entire area,
justifying the density transfer, shall be submitted for review and
approval by the City. '
The Comission discussed the availability of parking on the site.
Mr. Newsam stated that in ot r projects they had done, and wjth
this project, they had proposed four spaces per 1,000 square feet of
gross floor area. However, after review of the ordinance
requirements with Staff, Vantage hai amended the plan to be at 4.9
spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area for the project.
It was their intention to build approximately 80% of these spaces at
this time. It would be left to the City's discretion as to the time
for the need to construct the remaining 20% of the parking spaces.
Motion carried--4-1-0 (Chairman Dearman against)
Chairman Dearman stated that he voted against as he felt the concept
plan for the entire area stwuld have hen presented prior to
approval of an isolated site within the 100-acre area.

height, parking, setbacks, and FAR to be reviewed by the Board of
Appeals
Background
The Comprehensive Guide Plan identi-
fies a Regional Commercial lend use
for this site. Surrounding land
uses are primarily office and
commercial. The site is the focal
point of the Major Center Area
within close proximity to a large
amount of existine con -aercial and
regional office development, includ-
ing Eden Prairie Center, Hartford
Insurance, Gelco, and Elierne.
Access to this site is by three
principle routes: 1-494 from the
north and • east, Highway fl69/212
from the southwest an:1 northea ,.t,
and Highway 5 frofa the we et.
Vantage has an overall master plan
for Oh acres of land north of 1 -44,
which Was the site of the 19/5
Condon-Nar(lele propos::1 for colrr-
cial and office rolal:d ur.ee with
several awn dealerships. Vahiaec's

site near the Viking Training facility. Vantage's immediate request involves the
construction of a 247,003 square foot office building, organized around a full-
height interior glass enclosed atrium, with views oriented towards Smetana Lake.
Parking will be provided in a covered structure adjacent to, and extending under,
the building, and by service parking.
Site Character
Existing site is relatively level, previously graded with large mounds of stockpiled
soils and no significant vegetation. The site rises approximately 15 feet above I-
494 on the south and Prairie Center Drive on the west and slopes 40 feet downward
towards Smetana Lake and the Nine Mile Creek area.
Shoreland Management
Smetana. Lake is a Datui•al Environmental lake, lying adjacent and northeast of this
project site. The Department of Natural Resources has established an Ordinary High
Water Mark elevation of 883.1 for Smetana Lake. Land area within 1,000 feet of this
High Water Mark elevation is classified as shoreland, subject to the provisions of
Chapter 11 of the City Code. Land area north of Viking Drive is an outlot area
dedicated to the City for public purposes, which surrounds the High Water Mark of
Smetana Lake. Since the site of the office building is not an abutting lot to the
High Water Mark, restrictions relative to height and extent of impervious surface
allowable, do not apply. No flood plain areas exist on this site. Flood plain
area, also, is confined to the area around Smetana Lake north of Viking Drive.
An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (CAN) was prepared for the Condon-Naegele
proposal in 1975. The office proposal by Vantage is within acceptable threshholds
identified in the EAW relative to building square footage, traffic, sewers, and
environmental impacts.
Traffic
The proponent intends to construct Viking Di fe from Prairie Center Drive to its
present terminus near the Viking Taaining facility. Viking Drive is proposed to be
a four-lane road with a capacity of 23,000 ALIT. The office building is expected to
generate approximately 3,000 ADT. We anticipate that a majority of this traffic
will utilize Prairie Center Drive for access to east-bound 1-494, Highway #169, and
north-brand 1-494. Traffic impact on the intersection of Viking Drive and Prairie
Center Drive is anticipated to be significant and will necessitate improvements
relative to left-turn and right-turn lanes. There may also be a need for a free
right-turn lane alone north-bound Prairie Center Drive to Viking Drive. Vantage's
overall master plan is expected to generate approximately 15,000 ALIT. This is
consistent with a recent study prepared for the City by BRW for anticipated ALIT on
Viking Drive. Future construction of additinnal buildings within the Vantage master
plan will ni-e:essit,,te additional traffic improvemdnts such as a signalized
interaection at Vikine Drive and Prairie Center Drive and additional improvements
toward the eastern ClIj of the site near County Road a18 and 1-494.
Completien of Prairie Center Drive and the off-ramp from 1-494 are anticipated to be
completed seed time in ;etc Sumtr, or early Fall, 1984.
There aee three driveway access points to Viking Drive from this project. The
northerly driveway ateess will have prohleffis with sight lines towards the
Vantage Staff Report 3 March 9, 1984
intersection of Viking Drive and Prairie Center Drive. Based an a design speed of
30 miles per hour, the sight distance from this driveway access would be 350 feet,
extending it beyond the intersection of Viking Drive and Prairie Center Drive. This
situation becomes more critical given the City requirements for screening of parking
areas from public view. Consideration should be given to relocating this access
point, or, modification of the curve, to provide better sight line distances.
Staff recompends that the proponent provide a traffic study, including an analysis
of critical access points to Viking Drive, with sight lines, in order to more
carefully evaluate the traffic impacts and improvements necessary in connection with
the development of this project.
Parking
Parking requirements in the Office District are based upon a ratio of five spaces
per 1,000 gross square feet of floor area. Based on 247,000 square feet of floor
area, Code would require provision for 1,235 parking spaces. The proponent has
provided parking on the basis of actual spaces and equivalent parking spaces. The
parking plan identifies parking areas for full-size, compact, handicapped, and
multi-passenger vehicles. The actual amount of parking spaces provided by the
proponent is 995. Equivalent parking spaces provided are 1,133 based upon an
assumption that for each multi-passenger vehicle space provided, seven equivalent
parking spaces are being calculated. 23 multi-passenger surface parking translates
into 161 spaces. The proponent contends that proposed parking based upon equivalent
spaces is at a ratio of 4.6 spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area.

NOTE: Minnesota Code requires parking for multi-passenger vehicles accommodating
7-16 persons. for each multi-passenger vehicle space provided, seven
equivalent spaces are being calculated.
The proponent has provided a land banking plan based upon a ratio of five parking
spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. The number of actual parking
spaces provided is 1,085; equivalent spaces are 1,235, based upon seven equivalent
spaces for the 25 surface multi-passenger vehicles spaces provided. The land
banking plan identifies 60 additional full-size surface parking stalls, 21
additional compact surface parking stalls, tv additional handicapped stalls, and
two additional multi-passenger vehicle stalls.
The proponent is also asking for variances relative to size of parking stalls and
length of maneuvering area. The proponent is asking for a 7.5 feet X 16 feet
parking stall for compact vehicles, a 9 feet X 18 feet long standard vehicle space,
and a reduction in aisle width from 25 feet to 24 feet for surface parking and from
25 feet to 22 feet for structured parking.
Initially, the proponent had indicated to Staff that parking would be for standard
sized vehicles based upon a ratio of four spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross
floor area within a structured parking area, with proof of parking provided in
surface parking areas. The actual park in: plan submitted' by the proponent
identifies parking based open a ratio of four parking spaces per 1,000 square feet
of gross floor area for structured and aurface parking areas and also introduces 25%
of the parking stalls Inc camped ye:Holes. Proof of parking is provided with some
additional actual parking spaces, however, the amjority are represented as
equivalent spaces for multi-pksseheer vehicles.

to be planted. Because of the large amount of structured parking on-site and the
high FAR (floor area ratio) very generous landscaping should be used to introduce
some green area in contrast with the extent of hard surfaces. Staff would recommend
that the overall average size of materials be no less than three-inch caliper, with
a minimum of two and one-half inch caliper trees. The landscape plan should also
introduce a mixture of caliper sizes between four and six inches to give a more
mature look to the site and to provide scale. Flowering trees should also be
identified by caliper 5170, rather than by a minimum height requirement and should
be no less than two and one-half inch caliper.
Code requires that all perking areas be screened from public view. The provision of
shade trees along Viking Drive, Prairie Center Drive, and the off-ramp from 1-494
are inadequate to screen the parking areas. Plantings within road right-of-way at
the southerly entrance of the property should be removed. The landscape plan should
be revised to provide adequate screening provisions for parking areas from public
view by a combination of berming and plantings.
Building Height and FAR
The proponent is seeking a variance from the maximum allowable 30 feet building
within Office Districts, to permit a total building height of 94 feet. In addition,
the proponent is asking for an increased FAR from the maximum allowable 0.5 ratio to
0.8. The additional 64 feet in height may not appear significant when viewed from
1-494. Increased heisht can also serve to accentuate this area as a keystone site
of the Major Center Area. Height impacts are more significant toward Smetana Lake
since the lake is approximately 40 feet below the proposed office building site.
The net effect of the height when viewed from lake level would be a change in
elevation from 333 to 954 at the top of the building, or a combined height of
approximately 121 feet. for a site developed so intesely, the importance of large,
specimen plant material is emphasized.
Consideration for increased FAR may be reasonable, if the proponent is able to meet
current parking requircments on-site without variances.
Grading
The proponent has submitted a general mass grading plan, which utilizes the existing
natural grades of the site. The proponent should notify the State of Minnesota
Highway Department since some grt%ding work is proposed within highway right-of-way.
There is a proposed retaining wall along both sides of the driveway access to the
service area of the office building. At the service door entrance, the height of
the retaining wall is 16 feet and tapers gradually up hill to meet grade near the
drivcvay entrance to 'Irking Drive. The latopenent should provide detailed plans of
the retaining wall, identifying structural soundness and types of materials to be
used.
Pedestrian Systems
The site plan shhuld he modified to indicate provision for a five -foot wide concrete
sidecle alviig the sea iii sioa of Vil,ine Drive on the office building site. In
additi, there shodla i;a provision for tive-foot wide concrete sidewalk along the
north siP of Vii iraj DHve, with apropridia access points to emistinii and proposed
rocreatic,nal trails droend the t'd.iatana Lace area.
Vantage Staff Report 7 March 9, 1984
Parks
Smetana Lake and Nine Mile Creek are part of a Natural Environmental water north and
,east of the project site. Approximately 35 acres of land were dedicated to the City
as part of the Golden Strip plat and Condon-Naegele development proposal.
Lighting
Bollards, up-lights, and standing lights are shown in the parking areas. These
lights should be architecturally compatible with the building and not generate
significant glare off-site. Lighting details should be provided for review.
Signage
The site plan identifies three building identification signs, ground mounted,
lighted, with a maximum height of four feet. The identification signs at the
southern driveway and service entrances should be removed from street right-of-way
to an area where they will not interfere with traffic sight lines.
Highway Advertising Signs
Land area adjacent 1-494 is currently being utilized as space for highway
billboards. The original developer's agreement between the City and Condon-Naegele
contained a provision which indicates that the billboard signs will be removed at
the time of issuance of the first building permit.
RECOMENDATIONS:
Staff would recommend approval of the request for Planned Unit Development Concept
Amendment and Zoning District change from C-Regional to Office for construction of a
247,000 square feet office building on 8.17 acres, subject to the following:
A. Prior to Council review, proponent sh'11:
1. Revise the site plan to reflect proof of parking at a ratio of four
parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, with proof
of parking provided at a ratio of f;ve spaces per 1,000 square feet
of gross floor area, allowing 25% of the spaces over and above the
four spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross flour area to be used for
compact cars.
2. Modify the site plan to remove all signage from road right-of-ways
to an area where they will not interfere with sight lines.
3. Provide a traffic study identifying projected ADT impacts upon
affected roads, intersections and critical access points to Viking
Drive, with recoaehd,itios for appropriate road improvements.
4. Provide architectural elevations of the building, identifying
percentage and types of materials to be uscd.
5. Provide elevations of the proposed retaining walls, identifying
structur,0 amiiiina ,:,s and types of materials to he used. Also
include detail's of the retaining walls, identifying the type of

materials to be used.
6. Modify the landscape plan to include:
A. An appropriate level of plantings and berming to screen
parking areas from the public view.
B. Provide additional plantings in front of the structured
parking area adjacent to 1-494.
C. Remove planting areas from road right-of-way.
D. Increase plant material sizes to an overall caliper size of
three inches, with a two and one-half inch caliper size
minimum.
B. Prior to building permit issuance, proponent shall:
1. Receiva approval of the grading, drainage, and erosion control plans
from the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District.
2. Provide slope stabilization plans for review.
3. Provide necessary engineering plans relative to roads, sewer, storm
sewer, and water mains.
4. Notify the Watershed District and City at least 48 hours prior to
grading.
5. Provide a detailed landscape plan identifying location and type of
materials to be used, including caliper size and method of
installation.
6. Provide details of all proposA lighting for Planning Staff review.
7. Notify County and State Highway Departments for any work to be done
with road right-of-ways and obtain any required permits.
8. Provide plans for review by the Fire Marshall.
