City Council Minutes -4- September 18, 1984
Redpath said he felt the questions he had regarding this area had now
been answered.
Penzel indicated he had received a phone call from Hakon Torjesen this
evening from Chicago. Torjesen said he did not feel the Planning Commis-
sion fully understood the sector study; he did not feel the Commission
had studied it as well as it might have had it understood what the City
Council had intended in its charge to the Planning Staff. Bentley said
he did not regard this as a true sector study but more as a review of
what has been done in the past. Redpath said he perceived the City West
piece as being planned by the client and that was done depending on what
the client needed.
Redpath asked what might happen to the Uherka property. Enger said he
thought this would be a location for medium density housing, office, or
office/service uses. Leonard Uherka, 6517 Rowland Road, said he was
comfortable with office and/or office/service or office/commercial on
the northern end of the property. He said he would work with the Kinions
to provide a buffer on the west.
Bentley inquired of Uban as to what assurances the City had that the
remaining properties would not be planned by the purchasers of the
properties rather than by those developing the area. Uban said he was
representing Landmark and City West; he noted that Scott Anderson of ADI
is apologetic over the way in which this is being developed. Bentley
stated that this project, in and of itself, is a change in the plan; he
wondered what impact this would have on the Major Center Area. Scott
Anderson reviewed what is proposed in this development and noted the
changes, he felt, have been for the best and, in the long run, would
prove to enhance the Major Center Area.
Dick Feerick, 6518 Leesborough Avenue, stated that the City in 1980 had
approved a plan which provided for nice office buildings along Shady Oak
Road. He said that the most recent building approvals have shown little
or no berming -- only high-tech buildings. Feerick said he felt that
current Eden Prairie residents should be given assistance in determining
appropriate land usage -- this would be especially true in the transition
area on the west side of Shady Oak Road. He indicated there were related
issues: competition with the Major Center Area, the amount and benefit of
commercial/industrial uses, the need for housing to support the City's
employment base, and the constant changes to already approved plans and
developer's agreements. He said he felt a service station was needed in
this part of the City, but the City could do far better as for the remainder
of this project.
Uban pointed out the strong need for this neighborhood shopping facility.
He said they had put forth their best architecture in this proposal.
City Council Minutes -5- September 18, 1984
Bentley asked for a comparison of estimated traffic projections for
what is under discussion and what had been proposed. Enger said the pro-
jections are very similar; there will be more traffic, but it will be
generated throughout the day rather than at peak periods. He said that
is viewed positively.
Penzel asked Enger to review the recommendations made by the Planning
Commission. Enger noted those recommendations (see September 4, 1984,
Minutes of the Planning Commission.)
Anderson asked what type of service station was planned. Enger said
this would more than likely be a Super America convenience-type station.
Uban indicated a full-service Amoco-type station is now under consideration.
Anderson said he felt a full-service type station was important.
Redpath said he concurred with Tangen that there was a need for this
type of development in this section of Eden Prairie.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public Hearing
and to adopt Resolution No. 84-229, amending the Comprehensive Guide
Plan.
Bentley said he does not like this because of the way it has come before
the Council in two phases. He expressed concern regarding the fact that
this might be in conflict with uses in the Major Center Area. He said
he did not feel that he could vote against the proposal just because he
did not like it. He also expressed concern about traffic in the area.
He did not feel there was a negative impact on the surrounding area, how-
ever. He said he would reluctantly go along with the motion. He stated
he would like to see the remainder of City West project contain not less
than 75% office use.
Penzel voiced strong concern about the prospect of dropping the cornerstone
and centerpiece of the City West project.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt Resolution No.
84-230, PUD Concept Amendment. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to give 1st Reading to
Ordinance No. 84-104, rezoning. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to adopt Resolution No.
84-231, preliminary plat approval, and to direct Staff to prepare a
Developer's Agreement as per Commission, Staff and Council recommendations,
Motion carried unanimously.

change from Rural to Commercial-Regional-Service for 1.07 acres and
preliminary plat of 5.46 acres for day care center. Location: southeast

84-108 - rezoning from Rural to Commercial-Regional-Service and Resolution
No. 84-242 - preliminary plat)
City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been published
and adjacent property owners had been notified.
Terry Schneider, project developer, addressed the request. Also present
was a representative from Learning Tree, John Jacka.
Director of Planning Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed
this request at its August 27, 1984, Meeting at which time it voted to
recommend approval subject to the recommendations included in the August
24, 1984; Staff Report.
This request was not reviewed by the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
Comnission.
Letters from Carol and Philip Murray and Carol Kahnke in support of this
request are attached to these Minutes.
City Council Minutes -7- September 18, 1984
Anderson asked Schneider what age children would be included in this
facility. Schneider stated they would be 16 months to 12 years. Jacka
added there was a possiblity they might include an infant care (as young
as 6 weeks) program with this facility. Anderson said he would like to
be assured that an infant care program would be included; he noted a need
for this type of care in Eden Prairie. Jacka stated he would assure the
Council that an fnfant-care program would be included. Redpath asked
how the Council might make certain that infant-care is provided. City
Attorney Pauly said this could be accomplished via the Developer's Agree-
ment but that would not necessarily make it enforceable. Anderson
asked if infant-care was more expensive than that of other clients.
Jacka said it was and indicated that programs are difficult to provide.
Anderson said he felt if the City was going to allow day care facilities
then it should require infant-care programs.
Patricia Pidcock, 8379 Red Rock Road, asked about the amount of traffic
which would be adjacent to the playground. Schneider indicated the play-
ground would be about 150 away from Valley View Road; it would be a park-
like area, buffered from the roadway. Pidcock expressed concern about
the gas fumes which might affect children using the playground.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing
and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance 108-84, rezoning. Motion carried
unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Penzel, to adopt Resolution No, 84-242,
preliminary plat approval. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Penzel, to direct Staff to prepare
a Summary Resolution of Approval for rezoning as recommended by the
Planning Commission and Staff and with the direction that an infant-care
program be provided.
Anderson said he would like to see that a certain portion of future
day care centers considered by the Council be devoted to infant-care.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
G. VALLEY VIEW PLAZA ly Frantz Klodt. Request for Zoning District Change from
C-Regional to Office for 2.91 acres and preliminary plat of 5.22 acres into

City Council Minutes -8- September 18, 1984
Paul Klodt, 50 Groveland Terrace, Minneapolis, addressed the request.
Director of Planning Enger stated this proposal had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its August 27, 1984. Meeting at which time it
voted to recommend approval subject to the recommendations included in
the Staff Report dated August 24, 1984. He noted this proposal is part
of Hustad's Lake Ridge Office Park and is consistent with the original
plan for that area.
This request was not reviewed by the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources

this would be accomplished via cross-easements; he also said there would
be right-in and right-out access and egress points.
There were no comments from the audience.

and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 109-84, rezoning. Motion carried

I. REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
Eabs IN THE AMOUNT OP-3850,000 FOR NORMAR INVESTMENT PROJECT (Resolution
KEIRF-Tail)
City Manager Jullie indicated notice of this Public Hearing had been
publfshed.
Jerry Hertel, Juran & Moody, bond counsel, was present to address the
request. Also present was Marlin Besler, proponent.
Bentley expressed concern about some of the items included in the
equipment acquisition and installation costs. Hertel spoke to those
concerns. Bentley asked how this proposal fit in with the guidelines
which had been developed by the Development Commission. Finance Director
Frane said he had not attempted to measure this request against those
guidelines. Jullie said this does encourage smaller business which is
one of the guidelines.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Bentley, to close the Public Hearing
and to adopt Resolution No. 84-252, reciting a proposal for a commercial
facilities development project, giving preliminary approval to the project
pursuant to the Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development Act authorizing
the submission of an application for approval of the project to the Energy
and Economic Development Authority of the State of Minnesota and authorizing
the preparation of necessary documents and materials in connection with the
project. Motion carried unanimously.
Finance Director Frane noted there was $600,000 left in the City's "cap."
He asked if the Council was interested in putting together a joint powers
agreement with another community so, if Eden Prairie did not find a need
for these funds, another community might do so. Bentley said he felt it
might be a wise move to pursue; he indicated he would like this to be a
reciprocal agreement. The consensus was this was a good idea.

MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to approve the Payment of
Claims Nos. 15830 - 16032. Roll call vote: Anderson, Bentley, Redpath

There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No.
84-243, approving the preliminary plat of Vantage Corporation. Motion
carried unanimously.
B. Request for Liquor License for Three Beez II at Eden Prairie Center
City Manager Jullie said no evidence had been found by the Department
of Public Safety which would raise questions about the issuance of a
liquor license to the applicants. He noted the Three Beez II restaurant
is located in the Eden Prairie Center and was formerly The Fiddlers.
Milton Anderson, proponent, was present.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to approve the request of
Milton Donald Anderson and Ardelle Mae (Sonnenberg) Anderson for a liquor
license for The Three Beez II Restaurant. Motion carried unanimously.
C. Letter from Hidden Ponds II Homeowner's Association
City Manager Jullie stated the Hidden Ponds II Homeowner's Association
had requested the City consider a donation by the Homeowner's Association
of common grounds and ponds to the City. Jullie noted a similar request
was made in April, 1981; at that time, the Council supported the Staff
recommendation to deny the request.
Richard Berg, President of the Homeowner's Association, was present and
spoke to the proposal.
Penzel asked if the abandoned railroad trails were owned by the City.
Director of Community Services Lambert said they were,
City Council Minutes -11- September 18, 1984
Redpath said if the City were to accept these common grounds and ponds,
what would it do if and/or when Hidden Ponds I were to offer a similar
proposal. Bentley added The Preserve and Edenvale to the list of those
Associations which might respond; Redpath included Mill Creek.
Berg said homebuyprs in the Hidden Ponds area were not made aware of
the fact that they are part of a homeowner's association when they
purchase property.
Redpath asked if the trails were in good condition; can the City
require the trails to be maintained or repaired. Lambert said the
City does not have the authority to do either; the homeowner's associ-
ations are liable.
Redpath said he felt the City should alert the homeowners living in
areas governed by associations of this 1 .ability.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to deny the request of
the Hidden Ponds II Homeowner's Association and not take over the
amenities of the Association; this will maintain the City's position
taken in 1980.
Anderson said he felt the developers make promises and create amenities
which later become liabilities to the homeowners. He said these amenities
have worked well in some areas of the City, however.
Rick Tuber, Hidden Ponds II homeowner, said there are only a few neigh-
bors who are active in the homeowner's association and they propose a
big budget which the remainder of the residents cannot afford. He asked
if there was something the City could do about that. Penzel said the
City was not a party to the homeowner's association covenants/agreements
and, therefore, what the associations decide to do is determined by its
membership.
Redpath asked what would happen if a homeowner's association were to be
disbanded. City Attorney Pauly said then there is a partnership and the
liability is worse.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
D. Request for conceptual ampval of financing_ methods for elderly and
family housing project at northeast corner of County Road 4 and Highway 5,
City Manager Jullie stated Staff had worked with the proponent for
several months for a concept to provide assisted rental housing for elderly
persons and families. He noted that Staff had suggested the site and had
suggested financing alternatives.

III. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. REVIEW OF PROPOSED 1985 BUDGET AND USE OF REVENUE SHARING FUNDS FOR
19841985
City Manager Jullie spoke to his memorandum of September 14, 1984, in
which he outlined the significant aspects of the proposed 1985 City
Budget and addressed the major changes from the 1984 Budget. Jullie
explained the budget process used by the City and noted that the process
begins in June of each year when Department Heads are requested to
prepare budgets for their departments. Jullie stated that he meets with
each Department Head after Finance Director Franc has put together a
draft budget. Revenues and expenditures are then balanced and a budget
is prepared for presentation to the City Council. The City Council
then meets to review the budget and to formalize the levy limit which
is then submitted to the County by October 10th. Also this evening,
there will be a Federal Revenue Sharing Hearing which is required by
law.
City Council Minutes -2- September 25, 1984
Jullie noted that the City's budget includes a revenue sharing sum o
f
$96,000. Review of the utilization of those funds must be accomplis
h
e
d
by the Council. These items are shown as a line item in the Public
S
a
f
e
t
y
Department's budget.
The assessed valuation, Jullie said, is estimated at this time. The
C
i
t
y

determined by the County.
Frane addressed the area of tax levies. Jullie noted a memorandum of
September 11, 1984, in which City staff needs were projected.
Major changes in program expenditures were outlined by Jullie. He said
an adjustment in the compensation rates for Mayor and Council members
w
e
r
e
proposed.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Redpath, to adjust the compensation
for Mayor and City Council members by $1,200 each year.
Tangen said this would bring the compensation rates in line with thos
e
of surrounding communities.
VOTE ON MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
Jullie reviewed staffing changes which would be necessary in the next
year and as outlined in his memorandum.
The consensus was to review the Budget page by page. Those pages on
w
h
i
c
h
there were changes and/or questions were:
Page 11: Tangen expressed concern that there should be more maintena
n
c
e
personnel as well as equipment. It was also noted that there should
b
e
more in the Budget for plowing bike paths/trails.
Page 12: There was a question regarding the "Testing" category unde
r
Contractual Services.
Page 18: It was suggested that there be a "roving" concession stand --
pop revenues would be quite high if pop were sold at the ball diamonds.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Tangen, to defer a decision on t
h
e
roller blade skates capital outlay pending justification for such an
expenditure. It was also noted that the City's liability should be
checked.
Anderson said the City is in the business of providing recreation and
this is one form of recreation.
VOTE ON MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.

Bluffs East Drainage
November 29, 1984'
The following is the apparent sequence of events surrounding the erosion problem in
the Bluffs East 3rd Addition area;
I. May 3, 1983. Preliminary approval granted to Bluffs East area
inclUaing the multifamily and single family area comprising the 1st,
2nd, and 3rd Additions. Public hearing discussion involved the mass
grading of the site due to the irregular nature of the terrain. Concern
was expressed by Council members regarding opening that much land and at
one time.
2. Max 4, 1983. Permit date for preliminary site grading as issued by
Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District. Conditions of the permit
included a $35,000 performance bond or letter of credit to maintain
erosion control measures, all sites to be restored not later than
September 15, 1983, and no home construction until final design of the
storm sewer has been completed and reviewed by the district.
3. July I, 1983. Eden Prairie excavation permit issued for Phase I grading.
Incorporates by reference the watershed district permit. $35,000 bond
posted by contractor, Brown & Cris, Inc., running to the watershed
district or the City of Eden Prairie.
4. July 6, 1983. Permit date of the Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed
District for utility installation - - Phase I - Bluffs East. Permit
requires erosion control measures, sets minimum basement elevations,
requires some specific design details and requires restoration of the
area not later than October 15, 1983.
5. July '83 through Julx '84. Grading, street and utility construction,
and home building proceeds. By August 1, 1984, virtually all the street
and utility work was completed and probably most of the homes that are
completed to date were at least underway at that time.
6. About August 3,. 1984. 2" - 3" rainfall. (The consultant, RCM, advises
us that this rainfall occurred over a 20 minute period. In retrospect,
the consultant feels that this was probably enough rainfall to fill the
sediment basin that was constructed with the project just above the
ravine leading to the creek.)
7. August 7, 1984. 1.7" - 5" rainfall occurs. The Chaska reporting
station apparently reports a 5" rainfall on this date and the
International airport reports a 3" rainfall. The rain gauge at City
Hall measured 1.73" on this date. The consultant advises that it fell
in less than 12 hour period. Consultant states that this is probably
the rainfall that overtopped the sediment basin and caused the erosion
probleva depicted in the pictures as provided by Ms. Sally Brown. The
sediment pond was originally constructed at a capacity of approximately
2 acre-feet and serviced an on site area of approximately 40 acres and
an off site area north of CSAH 1 of approximately 25 acres.
7 (.7.() 4
Pg. 2, Bluffs East Drainage
8. About Aupst 9, 1984. Contractor discovered washout.
9. August 13-17, 1984. *Repairs to berm made and pond enlarged by
contractor under supervision of consultant.
10. September 5, 1984. Date of Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District
permit for Phase II grading and land alteration permit. Permit requires
erosion measures be installed and site restoration by October 15, 1984.
The plans that were approved show the enlarged sediment pond as it was
reconstructed.
11. September 24, 1984. In connection with the Bluffs East 3rd approval
process, the c -OFUTtant submitted a letter, saying in general terms
that an outfall to the creek would be necessary as further development
progresses and shows a general development plan for future phases of the
Bluffs East area. •
Also, a letter with this date was submitted by Wallace Hustad, Jr., (see
attached), which was intended to obligate the 3rd Addition and future
phases of this Bluffs East area for the ultimate completion of the storm
sewer system.
(With our knowledge of the erosion problem, the response to the
consultant's letter dated September 24, 1984, was not given until a
phone call on October 23, 1984, which requested that more detail be
provided for the final solution to storm sewer drainage in the area.
Specifically, it was requested that preliminary pipe sizing be provided,
a preliminary cost estimate be determined and that a letter be
forthcoming from the developer acknowledging that he would pay the
entire cost.)
12. September 26, 1984. Meeting held at the site of the erosion problem.
MeefiTg—Tn *ETUded City staff members, watershed district engineer, the
developer, contractor, consultant, and Ms. Sally Brown. The apparent
purpose of the meeting was to witness the damage that had occurred and
no promises or resolutions of the problems were arrived at. At this
date, the washout had occurred and the dike was already reconstructed
and the ponding area had been enlarged in accordance with the September
5 watershed permit.
13. October 12 1984. Meeting between Richard Reichow, consultant,
contractor and city staff about erosion occurring adjacent to the
Reichow property. Staff member recommended the installation of a storm
sewer pipe to remedy the problem.
14. October 18, 1984. Letter dated this date from consultant to Hustad
advising him of the Reichow problem and recommending that the Bluffs
Company meet with Mr. Reichow to discuss the problem and determine who
should pay the cost to remedy.
?4 Z 0 E,
Pg. 3, Bluffs East Drainage
15. November 5, 1984. Meeting held at Barr Engineering office involving
watershed district attorney, watershed district engineer, consultant,
City staff and Ms. Brown and attorney. The meeting was called by Ms.
Brown and attorney to discuss additional erosion that was occurring and
to question what could be done to resolve the matter.
16. November 72. 1984. Date of letter from Brown's attorney to Mayor and
City Council. This letter advised of the problem and requested City
involvement in seeking a solution.
17. November 7, 1984. Ms. Brown, consultant and developer appeared at the
Watershed District meeting to discuss the problem. WSD authorized their
engineer to write the November 13, 1984, letter (see below).
18. November 12, 1984. Letters with this date were sent by Hustad attorney
to interested parties requesting a meeting to be held either November 15
or 16 to discuss solutions to the erosion problem. (This meeting was
scheduled, but did not occur).
19 November 13 1984. Letter from watershed district to Wallace Hustad,
Jr. This letter referenced the September 24, 1984, meeting at the site
which assessed the damage and required that a management plan to
stabilize the drainage way be prepared and submitted to the district.
Furthermore, it stated that no future development could occur in this
area until the drainage way is stabilized and that the drainage way must
be stabilized prior to August 1, 1985. Furthermore, the letter pointed
out that restoration of the project site was to be completed by October
15, 1984, and that a new deadline was established as November 23, 1984.
20. November 29, 1984. Meeting between consultant and City staff to review
events and discuss permanent solution.
In reconstructing the events surrounding the "washout", it appears that rain storms
during the first week of August occurred prior to a final plan being designed and
implemented. I am told by my staff and the consultant that the November 5, 1984,
meeting (as listed above) produced at least one conclusion - - the primary concern
was to find a permanent solution and that any attempt to clean up the creek area
would probably result in more damage than currently exists.
As a result of my meeting with the consultant, it appears that the ultimate solution
at the south end of the project is to final design and construct a permanent
sedimentation/detention facility in the general vicinity of the exiting temporary
pond and to final design and construct approximately 1200 ft. of storm sewer from
the pond along the flow line of the ravine to the creek. Based on a very
preliminary design, I would estimate that the cost to do this work would be $75,000
to $100,000. This cost would make no attempt to remove the sediment deposit in the
creek, but would provide a permanent solution with full restoration which would be
capable of serving the existing and proposed future development areas. The
consultant may have additional information regarding this cost at the December 4
Council meeting. I will also be available to discuss the matter further.

FEE OWNER: Richard C. Axel
REQUEST: 1. A Zoning District Amendment within an Office District on
1.02 acres.
2. Preliminary Plat of 1.02 acres into one lot.
Background
A 1979 Planned Unit Development for
this site included 64 units of
elderly housing and a 25,000 square
foot office. The developer's agree-
ment for that Planned Unit Develop-
ment was not signed. In 1981, a new
application for office zoning was
submitted and recommended for
approval by the Planning Commission,
however, the request was withdrawn ---1778
by the proponent to allow additional '145 .
time to resolve access design. In
January, of 1932, a Planned Unit
Development Concept, Rezoning, and !,?::</2
Preliminary Plat request, for office
uses, was reviewed and approved by
the Planning Commission. The site
for the veterinary clinic was
approved to office zoning.
The Comprehensive Guide Plan des-
ignates this site for office use. c
The Comprehensive Guide Plan depicts
the surrounding future land uses as
Residential Medium Density and
Office uses. Existing land uses to
the west and south of this site are
PROPOSED SITE
AREA LCCATCOM MAP ,

Axel Dental Office 2 November 9, 1984
duplexes in the Terrey Pines Addition. Because of the difference in land uses, it
will be important that an appropriate buffer zone be created between the office site
and these households.
Site Plan
The Site Plan involves the construction of a 4,098 square foot, two-level, dental
clinic. The building and parking areas are located on site, meeting minimum
setbacks for office zoning. A total of 20 parking spaces are provided. Some of the
parking stalls are located too close to the south property line to provide enough
area to screen parking from adjacent residential uses. Since ample room exists in
front of the building, the site plan could be modified to move parking at least ten
feet closer to the private driveway. (See Attachment A)
A future building expansion of 3,870 square feet is proposed at a five-foot setback
from the private drive. This is too close from a visual standpoint and does not
leave enough room for landscaping. Staff would suggest a 30-foot front yard setback
for future building expansion.
Access to this site will be a continuation of a private drive off the Terrey Court
cul-de-sac. The original development concept for this site indicated that this
roadway would connect to Highway #5. There is an existing curb cut on Highway #5
which is blocked at this time. Since this access will be jointly shared with the
future office or commercial use to the north, it will be important that both
property owners enter into a shared access and maintenance agreement.
Grading
Since this site is relatively level, a minimal amount of site grading work will
occur. The western portion of the site will be elevated to provide an at-grade
entrance to the building. The eastern portion of the site is approximately eight
feet lower and will have an on-grade entrance. There is an existing six-foot high
grass berm along the south property line which provides for some screening and
buffering to adjacent residential uses. The grading plan identifies retaining walls
along this property line where cut will occur to provide room for parking.
Landscaping
A landscape plan has been prepared which depicts the type, size, and arrangement of
plant materials on site. Plant materials should reflect a 2-1/2-inch caliper
minimum with a 2-3/4-inch average for shade trees and a six-foot minimum height for
coniferous trees. Since a portion of the berm will be cut along the south property
line and since the grade of the western parking lot will be elevated to about the
height at the top of the berm, cars will be visible from adjacent residential
property, especially from a second level window. To screen cars, the proponent
intends to plant a single row of coniferous trees.
Utilities
Sewer and water service can be provided to this site by an extension of utilities
from Terrey Pine Court.
The majority of storm water run-off will sheet drain across the parking lot areas
towards the private driveway and would flow to Terrey Pine Court. A detailed storm
97(12.
Axel Dental Office 3 November 9, 1984
water run-off plan has not been submitted. Staff expects there will be a need for
catch basins within the parking area and the private driveway. The proponent should
discuss this with the Engineering Department and submit a detailed plan for their
review.
Lighting
Since this site is adjacent to residential areas, lighting should be designed to
minimize glare. Lighting standards should be a maximum of 20 feet high and should
be downcast luminars.
Architecture -
The two-story office building will be constructed to a maximum height of 27 feet
above grade. The primary building materials are proposed to be glass and wood. For
office zoning, the Code would require that primary building materials be facebrick,
stone, glass, or any combination thereof, with wood being permitted as an accent
material not to exceed 25 per cent of the face of the building. Since the
veterinary hospital and the medical building are constructed primarily of facebrick,
the primary building materials should be facebrick on this building as well. The
proponent must apply to the Board of Appeals for approval of wood as a primary
building material.
SUMMARY
The Planning Commission may choose to recommend one of the following alternatives:
1. The Planning Commission could recommend approval of the preliminary plat and
site plan amendment on approximately one acre of land based on plans dated,
October 12, 1984, subject to the Staff Report dated, November 9, 1984, and
subject to the following conditions:
A. Prior to Council review, the proponent shall:
1. Modify the site plan for a different building and parking
configuration providing for screening of parking areas from
adjacent residential property and a 30-foot minimum setback
for future building expansion.
B. Prior to Final Plat, the proponent shall:
1. Provide detailed storm water run-off and erosion control
plans for review by the City Engineer.
2. Provide detailed storm water run-off and erosion control
plans for review by the Watershed District.
C. Prior to Building permit issuance, proponent shall:
1. Pay the appropriate Cash Park Fee.
2. Notify the City and Watershed District at least 48 hours in
advance of grading.
Axel Dental Office 4 November 9, 1984
D. Board of Appeals approval for wood as a primary building material.
'2. The Planning Commission may choose to recommend that the development plans
be returned to the proponent for revisions based upon the Staff Report and
Commission recommendations.
3. The Planning Commission could recommend approval of a request as submitted.
4. The Planning Commission could recommend denial.

rezoning of the property were access
and transition between adjoining
land uses. Access was solved by a
continuation of the road from this PROPOSED SITE
site to the Prairie Village Mall. !
Buffering between adjoining land
uses was to be with berming and
plantings.
The site is relatively level,
previously graded at the time of
rezoning of the property in 1978.
There is a one-story church
building, with parking provided
adjacent to the service road in
front of the building. There is no
existing significant natural vege-
tation on site, except for plant
materials planted as part of the
landscape plan approved with the a
rezoning request.

Site Plan
Building plans involve a 2,400.square foot addition to the existing 2,100 square
foot structure and expansion of the parking area to meet minimum Code requirements.
Phases III and IV are indicated on the site plan as well as future parking for 51
cars. The existing structure will become a Sunday school/fellowship area only.
Building and parking areas meet minimum setbacks from all property lines for Public
zoning.
For a church facility of this size, with 141 permanent seats, Code would require the
provision of 47 parking spaces. A total of 51 parking spaces are provided.
Grading
Since the site is relatively level, a minimal amount of site grading will occur.
The site slopes naturally in a easterly to westerly direction from a high point of
elevation 901 along the east property line to a low point at elevation 884 within
the ditch area along the west property line.
Storm water run-off will sheet drain across the site parking areas into catch
basins. From that point, water will drain toward the ditch area, which will
eventually flow into a ponding area within a highway right-of-way.
Landscaping
Since the parking and building areas are close to adjacent residential structures,
buffering will be necessary. Berming and plantings are proposed around the parking
areas. A four-foot high berm is proposed across a portion of -the back parking area.
Since the site slopes toward adjacent residential property, berming alone will not
screen the parking areas. In these locations, spruce trees are proposed.
Architecture
Primary building materials for the church are proposed to be a continuation of
existing building materials which include brick and glass. The east elevation will
be cedar plywood panels with one-inch by eleven-foot vertical grooves. This is
proposed as temporary until Phase III is completed. Other minor building materials
proposed are pre-finished metal panel and stucco.
The height of the building at its tallest point will be approximately 39 feet above
ground level. Public zoning regulations permit a maximum building height of 30
feet. The proponent will need to apply for a variance to the Board of Appeals.
SUMMARY
The Planning Commission may choose to recommend one of the following alternatives:
( 1. The Comnission could recomnend appropval of the zoning amendment on 2.7
acres for a church expansion based on plans dated August 28, 1984, subject
to the November 9, 1984, Staff Report, and subject to the following:
A. Prior to Building permit issuance, proponent shall:

REQUEST: 1. Preliminary Plat of 1.85 acres into four lots.
2. Rezoning from RM-6.5 to R1-13.5.
Background
The Comprehensive Guide Plan ident-

Planned Unit Development previously
reviewed by the Planning Commission
in 1979 for 29 single family lots
and 32 multiple family units.

Lake Heights 2nd Addition 2 November 9, 1984
Site Plan
The site is proposed to be subdivided into four single family lots, ranging from
15,900 square feet to 23,000 square feet. Each of the lots meets minimum street
frontage, depth, width, and lot size requirements for R1-13.5 zoning. Building
setback lines depict a 50-foot setback along Homeward Hills Road and Anderson Lakes
Parkway.
Grading
Although the 22-acre site was approved for rezoning to 91-13.5 and RM-6.5 in 1979,
grading of the site, construction of utilities, and construction of the the road did
not occur until the Spring of 1984. The grading plan, dated March 1, 1984, shows
the proposed grades for the streets and regrading of Outlot A to accommodate four
building sites. The grading plan depicts a four-foot high berm along Anderson Lakes
Parkway and Homeward Hills Road. The grading plan for Outlet A indicates that the
storm water run-off will sheet drain overland across each homesite toward Waterford
Road. From that point, water will flow into an existing catch basin and storm sewer
system in Homeward Hills Road.
Utilities
With the road improvements constructed last spring, sanitary sewer and water mains
were also extended along Waterford Road.
Road Right-of-Way
Right-of-way for Anderson Lakes Parkway and Homeward Hills Road was dedicated at the
time of the preliminary plat of Lake Heights 1st Addition. There is 100 feet of
right-of-way along Anderson Lakes Parkway and 70 feet of right-of-way along Homeward
Hills Road.
Sidewalks
There is an existing five-foot wide concrete sidewalk along Homeward Hills Road.
There is an existing bituminous trail along the north side of Anderson Lakes
Parkway.

Assistant to the City Manager Craig Dawson
Agreement to Conduct Special Census
November 27, 1984
The United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, has submitted
an estimate totalling $30,465 to conduct a special census. This figure is
based on an estimated population of 22,600 when staff requested the cost to
conduct the census. Variable costs estimated at $9,085 could increase
depending on the population enumerated and additional preparation prior to
field work. The City has $35,000 appropriated in the 1985 budget for the
special census.
Before it will begin any work, the Bureau of the Census has required payment
of $6,850 from the City. The City can realize benefits in intergovernmental
aids if the Bureau of the Census enumerates a population higher than that
computed by the Metropolitan Council. Because the Metropolitan Council's
figures are published and official on July 1, 1985, the City should do
everything possible to complete the special census before this date.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Mayor
and City Manager to execute an agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce
to conduct a special census for an amount estimated to be $30,465. It is
further recommended that Council authorize initial payment of $6,850 to the
Department from the general fund contingency in 1984.

RESPONSE OF THE CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT
FOR THE PROPOSED EXPANSION OF THE FLYING CLOUD SANITARY LANDFILL
The City of Eden Prairie welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed expansion of the Flying Cloud
Sanitary Landfill. It is a major land use in our community, and its impact
extends well beyond its site along the north bluffs of the Minnesota River. We
are pleased that the FEIS has addressed our concerns and those raised by other
public agencies and interested parties in response to the Draft Environmental
Impact Statement. Distinctions made between the scope of the FEIS and the
process to permit expansion of the site have been most helpful. The FEIS
identifies several significant issues which need to be considered during the
FEIS review and facility permit deliberations.
- The City's primary concerns are in the areas of public and environmental health
and safety; financial securities to protect the City including residential
neighborhoods close to the landfill from possible damage and liabilities
arising from the landfill; the ability to plan for orderly growth for the
community; the need to preserve past and contemplated public investments; and
the general direction of solid waste planning and operations within the
Metropolitan area.
PUBLIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
Sanitary landfills are supposed to be designed to minimize the public and
environmental health hazards which are posed by solid waste. Both the
operational experience with the Flying Cloud landfill and the FEIS show that
disposing raw mixed municipal solid waste still poses significant hazards.
These hazards are magnified when worst-case scenarios are identified.
- 2 -
Methane: The FEIS suggests that the methane collection and monitoring
system proposed may be less than adequate. It compares the proponent's
plan of spacing and frequency of monitoring to a system currently in
operation in Anoka County. We fully believe that an equally intensive
methane monitoring and recovery system should be required at the Flying
Cloud landfill for the current permitted capacity and any additional
capacity which may be authorized.
No back-up methane detection system is proposed by the proponent nor
identified in the FEIS. Any new capacity should be required to meet
state-of-the-art technology and safety.
Vegetation stress is identified as a potential harmful effect as methane
migrates through the soil and vents to the atmosphere. We are concerned
about this possibility for practical and aesthetic reasons. The City of
Eden Prairie considers the Minnesota River bluffs to be one of the
greatest natural resources in the community. Denuding the bluffs and
surrounding prairie would remove much of the natural beauty of the area.
In soils as sensitive as those along the bluffs, more severe results would
occur. The soils are loose, sandy, and easily eroded; to lose vegetation
would pose the threats of accelerated erosion and concomitant severe
drainage problems. Although the FEIS relates that no evidence of vegeta-
tion stress has appeared, the City is concerned that it may occur over the
long term and become the responsibility of a public body to correct.
Leachate: Groundwater is a very sensitive resource. Several cities in
the metropolitan area are facing the expensive issue of removing health-
threatening contaminants from public groundwater supplies. While ground-
.26 Li':71
- 3 -
water is not drawn from the Flying Cloud area for the municipal water
system, it is relied upon by several owners of private property in the
vicinity. Equally important, groundwater discharges into Grass Lake and
the Minnesota River. The human and wildlife populations need safe water
supplies.
Although the FEIS notes that some traces of metals and compounds beginning
to be detected in groundwater can not necessarily be tied to the landfill,
their presence requires a healthy suspicion that a link exists. Leachate from
the permitted capacity is expected to be produced for many, many years. To
expand capacity both vertically and horizontally would extend this effect
into an already intolerably-long timeframe.
Short-term effects on biota and long-term effects of bioaccumulation on
the ecosystem are not definitively stated in the FEIS. We prefer to err on
the conservative side -- the effects may be severe and long-term. The
Minnesota Valley Refuge has been identified as a habitat and ecosystem
sufficiently unique and valuable to merit federal protection. Any decision to
permit expansion needs to be cognizant of the potential damage which may be
done to these sensitive resources.
The FEIS contains some baseline water quality data for Grass Lake which
were not included in the DEIS. The FEIS notes that these data are too
time-limited to provide meaningful analysis of the lake's overall water
quality. We believe that spending the time to acquire these data is
necessary prior to permitting any expansion of the landfill.
Leachate collection systems should be state-of-the-art technologies as
would be required at new sanitary landfills. Backup systems also need to
2 1.1457
- 4 -
be identified by the proponent. Given the possibility that a low-
permeability silt layer may not exist under the current landfill, every
effort to minimize the groundwater pollution emanating from the landfill
needs to be taken. Environmental protection expenses by the proponent
would save substantial outlays by the proposer, insurance companies, and
public agencies in the future.
Litter, Odor, and Dust: City staff on occasion receives complaints about
litter, odor, and dust originating from the landfill when winds are from
the west or northwest and particularly during hot, humid weather. We are
concerned that these immediate nuisances would become even more proximate to
existing residential development if the landfill expansion were permitted.
Although these nuisances are portrayed as temporary -- i.e., for as long
as the landfill is in operation -- they will be present for many years.
We are concerned that the expected seven-year life of the proposed expansion is
understated. If such waste abatement measures as a County incinerator and
residential recycling are implemented, the life of the proposed expansion would
be extended many-fold. The current landfill was permitted in 1970 with an
understanding that it would close in 1982. This "temporary" problem has already
lasted ten years and would likely continue for at least ten more years.
The FEIS is not definitive about the effect or duration of odors from
methane collection flares on human and wildlife populations. It does not
identify technologies which may exist to reduce or eliminate these odors.
The City believes further study is needed on this environmental impact.
The FEIS also identifies an alternative phasing for filling the proposed
expansion. This alternative would have that area of the landfill closest
- 5 -
to existing development be filled and covered first as an effort to
shorten the period of time residents would be exposed to large mounts
of fugitive dust, litter and strong odors from the landfill. The City
supports this concept.
REMOVAL OF PUBLIC LIABILITY
In its response to the DEIS, the City of Eden Prairie made several
comments about the need to ensure that future costs associated with
possible mitigation of environmental pollution not be borne by government
agencies. While these concerns go beyond the physical environment, they
are very much a part of the environment in which elected and appointed
officials must make decisions about the use of scarce financial resources.
We are pleased that the FEIS identifies the desirability that the
proponent have sufficient securities and insurance to cover a wide array
of operational and post-closure problems.
The FEIS suggests that landfill surcharge fees made possible by amendments
to the Waste Management Act in 1984 may be a source of funds to offset
public costs associated with sanitary landfill cleanups. Without some
legislative mandate to counties and cities to reserve a portion of 6ose
fees for mitigation of environmental damages, the surcharge should not be
relied upon as a financial panacea. These units of local government have
other competing needs for these funds -- most notably in the area of solid
waste abatement programs.
Another liability which shouldbe remembered relates to aircraft.
Although the FEIS notes that the Federal Aviation Administration has with
withdrawn its objections about a landfill use within the approach zone of
the Flying Cloud Airport, it still leaves potential liability to the
26,1r,
- 6 -
permitting agencies if, for example, an aircraft accident resulting from
a bird strike can be traced to the attractive nuisance of the landfill.
Should the request for expansion be approved, the permits granted by the
several agencies should specify conditions for which the proponent is
responsible for costs of improvements or mitigation measures. These items
include, but are not limited to, replacement of private water supplies; utility
improvements; highway improvements; operation and monitoring methane
detection/collection and leachate collection systems; a host of public health
hazards; corrections needed due to settelment of land over and around the fill
area; and the like. Public agencies must not be relied upon to fund any
expense arising out of the proponent's conduct of business.
PLANNING FOR ORDERLY COMMUNITY GROWTH
The City concurs with the FEIS that its approval must be given before Flying
Cloud Landfill may be expanded. However, under the present City Code, the
operation of Flying Cloud Landfill constitutes a non-conforming use,
since that use is not permitted in the applicable zoning district.
Furthermore, the City Code does not permit a use not authorized in an
underlying zoning district to be approved through the PUD process.
As to the question of when a decision is required by the City relative
to any requst for amendment of the City's zoning code, the City does
not agree (or believe) that the decision is one which must be made within
90 days after the FEIS is determined to be adequate as suggested in page
4 of the FEIS.
Permission to operate a sanitary landfill at the Flying Cloud site was
given upon approval in 1970. The active life of the landfill was expected to be
E
-7.
eight to ten years. Amendments to the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan reflected
the permitted extent and life of the sanitary landfill as approved. Subsequent
developments, primarily residential ones, were approved by the City and
marketed by developers in anticipation of a 1982 closure of the landfill. The
life of the existing fill area is likely to extend into 1986 because the
capacity of the landfill was nearly doubled by additional excavation which
was not allowed in the 1970 approval. Expansion as proposed would extend this
use into an area for which it has not been planned, and nearer to other uses
which have developed relying on a Guide Plan for use which would be
compatible with residential (not a landfill). The
life of this proposed use would last well into the 1990s; and if waste
abatement programs are implemented and successful, it would last well into
the next century. Under these conditions, it is difficult to plan for
compatible logical growth of the City and the mix of services it will
need.
The FEIS acknowledges that the economic impact of this land use is
difficult to measure. Positive and negative effects on property values,
land development and, indirectly, property tax receipts can vary based
on many factors. The uncertainty about the extent of the land-
fill in area and time is probably having a dilatory effect on land
development in this sector of Eden Prairie. Perpetuating this uncertainty
may mean land uses of less than highest and best use for surrounding lands.
Retaining this uncertainty we feel has already slowed he growth of taxable
value (as compared to other residential areas) and thus place an
increased tax burden on the entire community.
These concerns are credible and, if realized, costly in terms of such things
- 8 -
as the best use of natural and economic resources and the credibility of
government agencies and institutions. While planning is an evolutionary
process within a community, the direction of that evolution is to minimize
negative effects from the use of land. That is what the City did by setting
limits on the size of the landfill through its 1970 approval. That is what the
City wishes to see continue. The proposed expansion runs counter to the
City's plans for orderly growth and development.
PROTECTING PUBLIC INVESTMENTS
The public investment represented in preserving the Minnesota River bluffs
and National Wildlife Refuge has been mentioned earlier. We need to
ensure that the people of the City and the region are able to enjoy the
full natural, scenic, and recreation values of the area gained through land
acquisition and visitor facilities paid with public funds. The existing
landfill and proposed expansion break the continuity of qualities of the
valley which we are collectively investing to preserve. The FEIS
identifies several potential impacts of the proposed expansion, especially
in terms of methane and leachate migration, which may compound adverse
effects on the bluff and valley ecosystem. An expansion of the landfill
would seem to conflict with other public policies stated and pursued
with tax dollars in this geographic area.
City staff has had periodic meetings with representatives of Woodlake
Sanitary Services/Browning Ferris, Inc. about the end use of the landfill.
Current plans show a golf course. Studies cited in the draft and final
EIS list several disadvantages of having a golf course as an end use. As
an alternative, we have been exploring the concept of a baseball/softball
complex other than a golf course. This complex could contain 9 to 12 ball-
2.4f),G
- 9 -
fields. Given projected rates of growth, the City would need to provid
e
at least that many fields to meet the demand by 1990. If the landfill is
permitted to expand to the extent proposed, the City will thus be forced
to acquire some 40 to 50 acres of land elsewhere in the City at a cost
ranging from $350,000 to $500,000. Expansion of the landfill would run
counter to orderly and efficient municipal planning and pose costs not
identified in the FEIS. The FEIS should also comment on what types of
recreational uses and facilities would have less adverse impact than a
golf course.
FUTURE SOLID WASTE PRACTICES IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA
An expansion of the Flying Cloud landfill may be contrary to the current
direction of solid waste abatement planning and practices in the Twin Cit
i
e
s
(
Metropolitan area. For many years, the Metropolitan Council and numerous
o
t
h
e
r
public bodies have stated that the region needs to reduce its dependence
on landfills and to encourage the development of waste abatement techno-
logies. With implementation of these technologies in the foreseeable
future, an action to deny expansion is a dramatic commitment to wean the
region from its dependence on landfills.
The FEIS shows that the existing metropolitan landfill capacity will be
filled in 1992. Expansion of the Flying Cloud site would lengthen capacit
y
two years. Granted, the region will need to have landfills in the future.
However, introduction of several waste abatement technologies by 1990 will
also lengthen the life of existing landfill capacity. Arguments about th
e
clear needs and benefits to expand Flying Cloud, especially in light of t
h
e
numerous environmental pitfalls identified in the FEIS, appear to be
tenuous.
- 10 -
Several public acts and documents articulate public policy about the future
direction of solid waste planning and operations in the Twin Cities region.
Provisions of the FEIS are indicative of Metropolitan Council policy and
1984 changes in the law relative to the establishment and/or expansion of
existing landfills.
1. Page 242. Amendments to the Waste Management Act
(WMA) passed in 1984 (HF1577) authorize local county
and city governments to impose fees on solid waste
operators for the purpose of mitigating/compensating
local risks, costs, and adverse effects of solid waste
facilities.
2. Page 256. In accordance with the amendments to the WMA
approved by the legislature in 1984, no new site for
landfills can be issued a permit without a certificate of
need approved by the Council demonstrating that all other
feasible and prudent alternatives to land disposal are
being implemented. To date the Council has voiced a
consensus position that new landfills will be utilized
only for the disposal of processed waste; no certificate
of need would be issued for the land disposal of unprocessed
waste
Section 67 (MSA 473.832, subd. 6) provides that no new
mixed municipal solid waste disposal facility or
capacity shall be permitted in the metropolitan area with-
out a certificate of need issued by the Metropolitan Council.
5 -r
As is indicated in the FEIS, the Metropolitan Council has
indicated that new landfills will be utilized only for the
disposal of processed waste, and no certificate of need
will be issued for land disposal of unproCessed waste.
Section 83 provides that Section 67 does not apply to any
expansion of a facility for which the EIS preparation
notice had been published by March 15, 1984. This
provision excludes the Flying Cloud Landfill expansion from
this requirement.
3. Page 258. (No-Action Alternative-Land Disposal Abatement.)
Thus far, the Council has developed a consensus on the basic
direction of the revised policy plan. These are as follows.
The land disposal of mixed solid waste should be terminated
by 1990. Waste processing should be an intermediary step
prior to resource recovery, including combustion. All new
landfill capacity (new sites or expansion) is to be approved
based on the need for the disposal of residuals from waste
abatement programs. No certificate of need will be issued
for land disposal of unprocessed waste.
4. Section 59 (MSA 473.149, subd. 2.e.) requires the
Metropolitan Council to include in its policy plan not
only the number of sites, but the capacity of sites to be
acquired within each Metropolitan county for solid waste
disposal facilities. The Council is also required to adopt
a schedule of disposal capacity to be developed in each
county through the year 2000. The schedule may not allow
126,45 - 1
- 12 -
capacity in excess of the Council's reduced estimates
of the disposal capacity needed because of the Council's
land disposal abatement plan.
The City of Eden Prairie supports this public policy direction. We main-
tain that deliberations about the future of Flying Cloud should be with
standards and limitations as stringent as those for a new site. The proposed
expansion would create new capacity, as would a new site, and be an enlargement
significantly affecting the site and surrounding lands. The existing site is
defined by the approval permitting the landfill in 1970 and subsequently
amended in 1982. Land outside the permitted landfill boundaries thus is new
landfill. The Metropolitan Council must decide the new direction in managing
solid waste.

SUBJECT: Purgatory Creek Recreation Area Access Purchase
At the November 5, 1984 meeting of the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission, the Commission reviewed the proposal for the Eden Prairie Athletic
Club. The Commission noted that a portion of this athletic club is on the pro-
posed site for the major access to the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area. The
proponent provided a schematic plan showing how the major access to the Purgatory
Creek Recreation Area could be adjusted to the north and still provide an adequate
access to the recreation area and serve as an extension of Single Tree Lane.
Although moving the access to the north does work, it is not as acceptable as
the direct access from Single Tree Lane; however, due to the timing of the
development proposal, the City has little choice at this time.
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommended that the City
Council authorize staff to begin negotiations with the property owner to the north
in order to secure a purchase agreement, or at least an option to preserve a
minimum of 3.5 acres for the major access site. City staff concur with the
recommendation of the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and
request authorization to begin negotiations with Mr. Teman.

Riley Lake Park
In 1983, the City applied for a 1984 LAWCON and State grant for purchasing a 2
acre parcel immediately adjacent to Riley Lake Park. The parcel is needed as soon
as possible to expand parking facilities for that park.
Late in 1983, the City was notified that this park acquisition ranked first in
the metro area, and during the summer of 1984, the City received final approval
to proceed with the acquistion.
During the final application process,inJanuary of 1984, the City obtained an
appraisal for Mr. Hendrickson's property. That appraisal indicated that the fair
market value, as of January 9 1984, was $83,000. This was the amount upon which
the final grant was approved.
Upon initial discussions with Mr. Hendrickson, regarding the acquisiton of his
property, he indicated that the $83,000 appraisal was far below what he felt his
property was worth.
Upon request, the City Council authorized staff to obtain a second appraisal.
The second appraisial provided an opinion that the property had a current market
value, as of October 16, 1984, of $95,000.
Earlier this year, City staff suggested that the City of Eden Prairie follow the
same policy that the City of Minneapolis uses when acquiring property for public
use; that policy being to obtain two separate and independent appraisals. If the
two appraisals are within 15%, a purchase . agreement is submitted based on the higher
of the two appraisals. If the two appraisals differ more that 15%, a third apprais-
al is obtained and a purchased agreement if offered based on the average of the
three.
The Community Services staff request authorization to submit a purchase agreement
based on $95,000.
The City has received a LAWCON Grant in the amount of $41,500, and a State grant
in the amount of $20,750; therefore, the City's share, if the City were able to
obtain this parcel for $95,000, mild be $32,750. Cash park fees would be used
to fund the City's portion of the acquisition cost.

Proposed Agreement with the Watershed District for Joint
Participation in a Study of the Purgatory Creek Recreation
Area Floodplain and Staring Lake Water Quality
At the September 4, 1984 meeting, the City Council approved the Purgatory Creek
Recreation Area Master Plan and directed City staff to approach the Riley-Pur-
gatory Creek Watershed District with a proposal to determine the cost of a study
that would determine the ten and thirty year flood levels of the Purgatory Creek
floodplain south of Highway 5, how much the Purgatory Creek Recreation Plan would
benefit the basic water management program of the District's overall plan, and
why Staring Lake water quality is deteriorating.
On September 7, 1984, a letter Was forwarded to the Watershed District requesting
they provide information as to the cost of that study, and asking if they would
consider that study as a joint project with the City.
On November 16, 1984, the City received a letter from Fred Richards, attorney for
the Watershed District, indicating that the Board of Managers for the Riley-
Purgatory-Bluff Watershed District, did authorize the initiation of a joint pro-
ject with the City in response to the City's letter to the Managers of September
7,, 1984. That letter indicated that the District would undertake this project at
a cost not to exceed $10,000 to be done by Barr Engineering with the understanding
that the City Would agree to participate financially on an equal basis with the
District toward the payment of this cost.
This study is necessary for several reasons:
1. The ten and thirty year flood elevations are necessary to determine
what portion of the floodplain will be usable and developable for
active and passive uses.
2. The Watershed District cannot legally provide financial assistance
for the development of the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area until
it is determined what portion of the development would benefit the
basic water management program of the District. This is the only
portion the Watershed District can fund.
3. Staring Lake Park, one of the major amenities of the City, is directly
affected by the water quality of Staring Lake. A recent report in-
dicated that the water quality was deteriorating. Perhaps the Master
Plan for the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area could provide some improve-
ments to the water management program that would improve the water quality
of Staring Lake.
The Col.:munity Services staff request that the City Council approve entering into
an agreement with the Watershed District on this cooperative project. Staff believes
that the cos!. park fee filnd would he all appropriate source of funding for this study.

Dear Bob:
At the last meeting of the Board of Managers of the
Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District, a number of
items were addressed by the Managers.
First, the District did authorize the initiation of
the joint project with the City of Eden Prairie in response to
the City's letter to the Managers of September 7, 1984. It was
agreed that the District would undertake this project at a cost
not to exceed $10,000 to be done by Barr Engineering, with the
understanding that the City would agree to participate
financially on an equal basis with the District toward payment
of this costs.
If this is agreeable to the city, I would request that
a short letter agreement be prepared to formalize the
undertaking of this cooperative project.
Second, the Managers have requested that you plan to
attend the meeting of the Board of Managers, scheduled for the
first Wednesday in December, to discuss further a possible
cooperative project for construction of a permanent outlet
facility on Round Lake in Eden Prairie. If this presents any
difficulties for you, please let me know.
Lastly, the District has now received the Lake Riley
Cooperative project executed by the City of Chanhassen. As
soon as the City of Eden Prairie has acted upon this proposed
cooperative agreement, please advise in order that the project
might be initiated in accordance with the project description
as set forth in that proposed Lake Riley study.

Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Request
Concerning Ad Hoc Committee to Consider the Need for a
Referendum for Expanding Indoor and Outdoor Recreation
Facilities
Beginning in September of 1984, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission has received requests to consider expansion and addition of
facilities from the Eden Prairie Baseball Association, the Eden Prairie
Soccer Association, the Eden Prairie Soccer Club, the Hockey Association
of Eden Prairie, the Eden Prairie Figure Skating Club, and the Men's Hockey
League.
In October, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission requested
City staff to provide information regarding the use of existing facilities
along with five and ten year projections for indoor and outdoor athletic
facility needs. This information was reviewed at the November 5th Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission meeting. The Commission then
requested a comparison of the five and ten year projections with the Capital
Improvement Program to determine shortfalls of facilities and revenues in 1990
and 1995. A copy of that report is attached to this memo.
•
At the November 19th meeting, the Commission discussed, at length, the need
for a referendum to provide for the projected shortfalls within the next five
years.
The Commission discussed other referendums that are likely to be required within
the next five years such as: an elementary school, a new City Hall, and
possibly a fire station, The Commission felt that it was important to have
people on an ad hoc committee that would represent those concerns, so the timing
of any one of those referendums would not conflict with one another.
The Commission recommonded that the City Council appoint an ad hoc committee to
study the needs and priorities for athletic facilities and expansion of the
Community Center. This ad hoc committee is to report back through the Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Commission to the City Council.
City staff would recommend that if an ad hoc comittee is appointed that the
following groups be represented: Parks, Recreation. and Natural Resources
Commission, Planning Commission, the School District, the Baseball Association,
the Soccer Asr,ociation, Soccer Club, Football Association, Hockey Association,
Figure Skating Club, Girl's Athletic Association, plus several representatives
from diffrrent quadrants of the City.
-2-
The various athletic groups have presented well thought out statistical reports
that represent serious concerns regarding the growth of the athletic facilities
within the park system, keeping up with the growth of the community. The Community
Services staff believe that the most effective way to address those concerns is
to involve the people thzyt are most directly affected in the planning process.
The Community Services staff concur with the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission recommendation that the City Council appoint an ad hoc committee to
address these concerns and report back through the Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission to the City Council on a recommended coarse of action.

Projected Income and Expenses on a Proposed Addition to the Eden
Prairie Community Center
A proposed addition to the Eden Prairie Community Center could include a variety of
facilities to serve the needs of the residents of Eden Prairie.
The following information pertains to those types of facilities that would produce
a direct amount of measurable income or provide immediate use to a large segment of
community residents.
Income has been based on staff's projections of minimum usage at the lowest resident
rate projected to the 1986-87 season. Any usage by outside groups would only increase
the income and hourly use and have little effect on the operating expenses, as the
building would already be open.

DRY FLOOR ACTIVITIES - APRIL-MAY
With the addition of a soccer floor, the North Suburban Civic Center generated $18,000
NET from a soccer program that used their building from mid-March to June 1, 1984.
IT& Prairie Soccer Association is at least half again the size of their program. Staff
feels it could be realistic to generate at least that amount of money from soccer alone
during that time period. The North Suburban Civic Center would be interested in a spring
soccer playoff between the 2 facilities. This type of facility could offer some unique
indoor opportunities for the spring season. Estimated cost for floor and nets is $25,000
to $27,000.

Based on the number of facilities available in Eden Prairie, many areas of adult athletics
cannot be expanded. The gymnasiums at Central Middle School (2), Prairie View (1), and
Forest Hills (1) are undersized. The 2 courts at the Middle School will only accommodate
3 volleyball courts. A regulation size gym with 10' out of bounds areas could accom-
modate 3 volleball courts. Each gym at Prairie View and Forest Hills can only accom-
modate 2 volleyball courts.
From the date present im Mr. Lambert's memo to the Parks, .Recreation and Natural Re-
sources Commission on Five and Ten Year Projections for Adult and Youth Athletic Facility
Needs, dated October 10, 1984, chart A points out that there is currently 1 gym avail-
able per 5,000 residents. Based on Eden Prairie's current population at over 20,000,
existing usage is at the maximum. By 1990, 6.5 gyms will be required just to maintain
what is currently being offered, and by 1995 with a population of 40,000, 8 gyms will
be required.
It is now evident that many programs are filled and additional participants will not be
allowed due to a lack of facilities. The possible addition of 2 gymnasiums would only
allow the expansion of the adult athletic programs that could account for approximately
$12,000.00 of revenue per year based on the current rental fees charged by the school.
Additional usage for a gymnasium type facility could also accommodate a banked running
track, the table tennis league, batting cages, golf cages, summer basketball and volley-
ball leagues, youth dances - perhaps a teen drop-in center, soccer skill development,
indoor tennis instruction, large meetings, assemblies, banquets and receptions. It
would appear that the $12,000 income from these types of facilities would be the very
minimum.
Indirect income could be generated by expanded locker facilities, fitness center, whirl-
pools, saunas, and running track. Those typos of amenities could encourage additional
memberships because of the increased traffic at the Community Center.
Additional income could also be reali:ied with the addition of a water slide. Indirec.t
And direct income could be estimated at approximately $175,000 to $200,000 per year

Net operating surplus should be at least $50,000 per year.
CONSTRUCTION
Price estimates from July 1983 for an expansion to the Community Center showed a square
foot price of $65.00 for the ice arena portion and $50.00 for an enclosed tennis facility.
The total square footage of the 1983 proposed addition was approximately 43,000 square
feet. An addition without the tennis building and adding 2 gymnasiums would be
approximately 54,000 square feet. Only adding 1 gymnasium would bring it down to about
41,000 square feet. The prices shown are from July 1983 and would not include any
construction contingency monies, professional fees, or any special equipment similar to
what was added in the original building.
2nd ice sheet, plus 1 gymnasium - approximately 2.5 million
2nd ice sheet, plus 2 gymnasiums - approximately 3.1 million
(It should be noted that these prices include the locker room expansion, etc.)
APPROXIMATE COST TO THE TAXPAYER
Assuming a 9% interest rate with a bond maturity of 15 years, the approximate cost to -
a taxpayer on a $100,000 home would be as follows:
1.5 million bond would be $14.00
2 million bond would be 20.00
3 million bond would be 28.00
3.5 million bond would be 34.00
4 million bond would be 40.00

Capital Improvement Projections Through 1990
Attached, for your review, is a proposed Capital Improvement Program for Eden Prairie
Parks and Open Space from 1985 through 1990. The attached program outlines the pro-
posed projects per year for each park site, the estimated expenditures, the projects
that would be eligible for grant funding (with projected application amounts) and the
estimated revenue.
Also, attached to this memorandum is a summary sheet depicting the projected 1990 and
1995 demands for facilities based on 1984 use of these types of facilities per 1,000
people, and the projected 1990 and 1995 shortfall of facilities.
The proposed Capital Improvement Program outlines projects that should be completed
each year as a minimum to provide facilities to meet the projected growth of Eden
Prairie. A number of facts should be considered while reviewing this proposed Capital
Improvement Program:
1. This Capital Improvement Program projects the City receiving over one
million dollars in grants between 1985 and 1990. Although, the pro-
jects listed for grant applications should rank very well according
to existing grant criteria, it is highly unlikely the City would
receive even 50% of the grant money indicated in the CIP; therefore,
some of these projects would have to be eliminated.
2. The revenue sheet indicates the City would begin deficit spending in
1988 with the total deficit of $315,200 by 1990. Obviously, the City
cannot spend more than its generated revenue; therefore, some of these
projects will have to be eliminated.
3. Even with the projected deficit spending and with over a million dollars
in grants, there is a shortfall of facilities by 1990 that would total
over $300,000 in development costs alone (considering there would be
land available for those facilites).
4. Although, the City would expect one, and possibly two, additional
neighborhood parks in the southwest portion of the City, there is
not sufficient area on any future projected parkland to provide for the
projected 1995 shortfall of athletic facilities.
S. lhe Soccer and Baseball Association would have to make use of all the
neighborhood parks to ctuninac their programs through 1990. They have
indicated an unwillingness to go to a decentalired program due to the
administrative difficulties and the problems with the families that have
moro than one child participating in the program being able to get to
different locations spread over it 36 square mile area.
,".16
-2-
6. This Capital Improvement Program includes no Community Center expansion
or improvements; however, recent information provided by the Hockey
Association of Eden Prairie, the Men's Hockey League, and the Figure
Skating Club tend to indicate that an expansion within this period will
be needed.
7. This C1P includes suite basic improvements wi4h the Purgatory Creek Recreation
Area, and some funds for acquisition of the major access point along Prairie
Center Dr., but falls far short of the funds necessary to complete that project.
8. The summary of the 1990 and 1995 demand and shortfall assume that
the City will have continued use of the Flying Cloud Athletic Fields.
9. The 1990 and 1995 demand and shortfall projection report also includes
development of Miller Park beginning in 1988 with use of the park beginning
in 1990. This assumes there is direct access to the park along collector
streets rather than through residential neighborhoods.
In summary, if the City takes the worst case situation and does not receive any grant
assistance, and of course does not deficit spend, the City would need an additional
1.4 million dollars (1984 dollars) to provide . the facilities projected in the 1985-
1990 CIP. If that funding were not available, the City could eliminate Miller Park
development and the development of the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area, and have a
balanced budget. .Staff should note the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Commission recommended budgeting a certain amount of the Cash Park Fees on an annual
basis for improvements of the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area. It should also be noted
that without the facilities proposed at Miller Park; obviously, the shortfall of 1990
would be far greater than projected.
Staff would also note that there is no existing plan to provide a land area that would
accommodate the projected shortfall of facilities for 1995; however, staff feels that
the majority of those facilities could be accommodated through some expansion of the
proposed Miller Community Park and with athletic facilities proposed as an end use
on the Flying Cloud Landfill.
The Community Services staff believe that it will be necessary to provide a minimum of
one million dollars through a bond issue within the next five years to ensure that
the consunity athletic facilities maintain a growth pattern consistent with the growth
of the community. (The one million would be for development of facilities, acquisition
costs won Id be additional.)
Any significant improvements to the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area or to the Community
Center would be above and beyond that minimum cost.
If the Athletic Associations are not willing, or able, to operate a decentalized program
on the facilities projected in this program; the only alternative is to purchase a large
flat open area and develop an athletic field complex that would handle a centralied Pro-
gins. ('lie expansion of Miller Park south to the proposed 212 alignment should be considerel
An example of how 60 acres could be developed to serve the majority of athletic needs
is attached. An estimated cost for acquisition and development of this type of facilities
would be dose to four mill ion del tars,
The Community Services staff would recommend the following action:
1. The Parks, Recredtion and Ndtural Resources Commission recommend the
approtoi of the Capital 'improvement Program from 1985 to 1990 as projected.
-3-
2. The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommend the
City Council appoint an ad hoc committee to study the needs for athletic
facilities including an expansion of the Community Center as proposed.
3. The ad hoc committee should provide recommendations on priorities for
development of facilities within the park system and study the pros and
cons of centralized and decentralized programs offered by the Athletic
Associations in this community and other communities; study the cost
versus the need for expansion of the Community Center, and finally, make
a recommendation to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
on the need and timing for any possible bond referendum within the next
five years.

Baker asked if operating expenses at the Community Center will
be covered this year. Pappas said they are doing well, but he
hesitates to predict because of changes from month to month.
Cook asked if the North Stars have made any comments about the
Community Center. Pappas said that when Bill Mahoney was
interviewed for the Happenings show on cable, he said that the
facilities were good and it was some of the best ice they had
ever used.
B. Community Education Advisory Council Monthly Report
Lambert reported that the needs assessment survey has been
completed. There were 10 or 12 open ended questions on which staff
attempted to tally up responses. Since there were so many
different answers and they were experiencing difficulty, it was
decided to have IMI complete the project. This will cost an
additional $1,200 which will be divided between the City and the
school. Results of the survey should be ready by the end of the
year.
C. City Council Meeting Report
Lambert reported that at the last City Council meeting, the Council
authorized the pumping of Round Lake. They also approved the
donation of a Community Center membership for the Cahill Silent
Auction, the purchase of a 70 horsepower tractor with snowblower
and the Riley lake study to be shared equally by Chanhassen, Eden
Prairie and the Watershed District.
VI. OLD BUSINESS
A. Five and Ten year Projections for Adult & Youth Athletic Facilities
Lunt. from Nov. 5)
Refer to memo dated November 13, 1984 from Bob Lambert, Director of
Community Services and memo dated November 16, 1934 from
Chuck Pappas, Superintendent of Recreation.
Lambert said that the five and ten year projections were requested
by the Commission and are based on the city population and current
athletic facilities. Lambert said he feels facilities for some
groups may be tight, but most would be able to get by.
Baker said he questions the basic assumptions that were made such
as if the City of [den Prairie will have the same demands in five
to ten years that it does at the present time. Lambert said he
believes the basic ;Te will not change and the city will probably
remain fast growimj with a good deal of moderate housing.

Lambert reviewed the capital improvement projections and summary
sheet which projects the City to receive $1 million in grants.
However, Lambert feels the City would be lucky to receive this
much. Even at this rate, the City would have a deficit of $315,200
by 1990 which means some projects would have to be eliminated.
Lambert said there is also not enough parkland available for more
athletic facilities and the program does not include any Community
Center expansion or improvements. The projection does include the
development of Miller Park.
Lambert referred to the chart which shows the capital improvement
program for parks and open space from 1985-1990. Lambert said a
bond referendum of $1 million to $1.5 million would be necessary
within the next five years to ensure that the athletic facilities
grow consistently with the population growth. Land that would need
to be acquired for these facilities would be at an additional cost.
Lambert added that he was somewhat optimistic when figuring on the
revenue from cash park fees and grants.
Kingrey asked about other referendums that are likely to happen
within the next five years. Lambert said that a bond for a new
elementary school on the Lake Eden site could happen within the
next year. He also said that there has not been as much push
recently for a new city hall and some office space may have to be
rented. However, he said it could happen within the next five
years at a cost of $2 million to $3 million:
Jessen asked about the possibility of a new fire station in the
southeast part of the city or other new public works facilities.
Lambert said there were no plans for this at the present time.
Jessen said he felt that the Watershed District would participate
more in the Purgatory Creek project. Lambert said they cannot
participate in a project that is for recreation purposes only, but
that water management must also be involved.
Cook asked where the 12 football fields referred to in the
projection are located. Lambert said they look at soccer fields as
football fields and these are located in neighborhood parks
throughout the city. He added that these parks are not used as
much in the fall as they are in spring.
Gonyca asked about the development of a sports complex on the
landfill site. Lambert said it has been discussed, but woutd not
take place until about 1995.
Kingrey said he feels an ad hoc committee is needed and that staff
should reconmend to the Council that this committee also include
bond referendums in their discus!jons.

Cbok commended Chuck Pappas for his informative memo on the
projected indbme and expenses on a proposed addition to the
Community Center.
Jessen asked about the possible addition of a water slide at the
Community Center. Pappas said that the people who installed the
water slide at Valley Fair have come out with a park and rec
version. Additional income would be realized if a water slide were
added.
Cook asked if the example for 60 acres of land to be developed for
athletic needs as referred to in Lambert's memo was included in the
packet. Lambert distributed them at this time. He said the City
has received the alignment of Highway 212 from the state and feels
it would be a good use of space to expand Miller Park. At this
point, Lambert distributed 4 concept plan for Miller Park. If this
plan were used, it would not be necessary to remove any trees.
Jessen said he is not comfortable with recommending the approval of
the Capital Improvement Program at this time, but would rather go
with the other staff recommendation to form an ad hoc committee.
Baker asked why this would not be strictly a Parks, Recreation and
Natural Resources Commission project since they are familiar with
it. Lambert said that this program would affect so many various
groups that representatives of these groups should be involved in
the ad hoc committee.
Baker also asked what timing if being looked at for this project.
Lambert said he feels this Commission does not have to make a
recommendation on time frame.
Jessen said that by looking at this program, he feels the city
would have adequate facilities until 1986.
MOTION: A motion was made by Baker to recommend that an ad hoc
coumittee be appointed to study the needs and priorities for
athletic facilities and the expansion of the Community Center and
provide recommendations to the Commission. Schwartz seconded the
motion and it carried.
B. Round lake Outlet
Refer to mono dated November 15, 1984 from Bob Lambert, Director of
Comunity Services.
Lambert reported that the pumping of Round Lake started one week
ago and the water level has dropped seven inches. He said the
pumping will he continued for another week.
