Bru-Mar Constru lion Co. Valley Knolls Addition. Reclassification from District RI 13.5. Ordinance No. IU5. First Reading. Preliminary Plat Approval. Resolution No. 565. Dick Putnam, Village Planner presented and reviewed the Valley Knolis Addition area plans. He stated that it is a conventional single family subdivision using three cul-de-sac streets to cluster the lots in smell groupings. Four of the tots will have direct access to Duck Lake Trail but ai i others are on the Qiu I-de-sacs, Barberry Lath or Dude Lake Rood. Sewer and water service wilt be available in Barberry Lane and Duck Lake Trait immediately, tots on Duck Lake Road do not have sewer and water at this time but could be served from Duck Lake Trail in the future. All underground utilities wil i be provided by the developer. Mr. Putnam noted that a strong element of the proposed plan is the four acre public parkland to the north. The steep slope separate the open space from the building si tes. The land wi I i provde an eacei i ent site for winter recreation for children and also connects to the proposed Village golf course area to the west. The price range of the homes proposed by Bru-Mar Construction is about equal or slightly greater than the existing single family dwellings in the area. Mr. Putnam suggested that a walkway along Duct Lake Road could be constructed and a possible"sidewalk" could be used along Duck Lake Trail. Mr. Cosmanc questioned about the increase in traffic along Barberry Lone, Mr. Putnam stated that that probably it would double the number of trips but that it would be the slow traffic type of auto movement. Mrs. Meyers also noted that she was concerned about the increase in traffic on Dude Lake Trail.

El iason Builders Inc. Round Lake Estates PUD. Resolution No. 560. Reciassif cation from District Rural to RI 1 . . Ordinance No. 1F2. Preliminary Plat Approval. Resolution No. 5 1. l i Mr. Putnam, Village Planner presented and reviewed the Round Lakes Estates PUD concept plan. It is located north of TH #5 east of Heritage Park 1st Addition and west of Round Lake. He stated that the Planning Commission had requested that Mr. ElIiason submit his proposal under the PUD ordinance because the functions of his plan were better handled using these procedures. He further stated that the normal procedures for single family platting were not being used in the Round Lake Estates proposal.since PUD planning concepts such as cluster arrangements, public and quasi-public open space, trail systems and a provision for a unique approach to single family housing on smaller lots could be better handled using those procedures. The proposed plan is conceived to extend the existing street pattern using Heritage Road as the primary access from TH #5 as the only access for a limited time. Other access points must be provided when Phase II is constructed. Phase I, containing 27 single family homes will about double the trips on Heritage Road per day. Mr. Putnam further stated that this problem is not one of Heritage Road's capacity but rather the dangerous intersection with TH #5. The additional streets in the project would connect to the proposed Round Lake Parkway which will connect to County Road A. The development provides each single family lot with separate pedestriag pathways leading to public pathways and Round Lake Park. The walkway system wi 1 1 also allow existing residents of Heritage Park to get to Round Lake Dark. Mrs. Meyers questioned how many homes would be built next year, Mr. Eliiason replied that possibly one half of them. She al so questioned what price homes would be built facing existing properties and was told that they would be in the $30,000 price range. He also stated that if inflation and/or building costs rose, possibly the size of the house would be limited in order to keep housing costs down. Mayor Redpath also stated that he was concerned about providing some moderate price housing in the project. Several residents voiced their concern about the massa traffic problem at the access to and from Heritage Road on TH #5 and the additional traffic that would be created by this project.

UTITIONS, REQUESTS & COMUNICATIONS A. Tree Chipping eration at International Disposal Corporation of nneso aInc.-- 0.. Luther Nelson and Joe Helgevold, Environmental Services for Hennepin County presented and reviewer! plans to establish a "tree f chipping operation" on property otmed by International Disposal Corp. o" Minnesota, Inc. on Flying Cloud Drive in Eden Prairie. The tree chipping operation consists of hauling in trees and wood debris, stocking them and chipping into a usable product with a tree chipping machine. The operation would be conducted by Hennepin County with services and land provided in an agreement with IDC. Actual operation will be in the easterly portion of the sanitary landfill. Coupe i l lleeti ng August 22, 1972 Page Six The flayor questioned the danger of transferring Dutch Elm Disease to Eden Prairie by hauling trees into the Village. Fir. Helgevold replier: that there was no danger after the bark is removed. The County plans to close down the operation when the beetles are active, will not haul - gags from the last part of April through the first week in June. The ila;or stated that he understood the only ray to get rid of the disease is to burn the trees. Mr. Helgevold stated that the Pollution Control Agsney has banned all burning. I•lr. Redpath also questioned what would be done with the stripped bark. Mr. Helgevold stated that once it is et-ipped the disease is gone, there is no home for the insect. A series of slides and film was shoo-in by Mr. Nelson in regard to the type of operation that will take place at the sanitary landfill. Marty Jessen, Park Director reported that the Park & Recreation Commiss:oa was working on an ordinance to govern the hauling of trees within the Village. The iiayor suggested that the matter be tabled until the Park & Recreation Comni scion reports back to the Council. 8. Re rt on Operation Alternatives Services and Recommendation for an c ng rogram. Harty Jessen gave a report on "Operation Alternatives" a four day drug sani nar at Lawrenceville Kansas attended by five people from the School District and the Village. Mr. Jessen stated that this group would liKe t study the drug abuse situation to Eden Prairie and take sme actio"! or direction by working on a program for Eden Prairie. The Council requested what they needed in order to start the program. fir. Jessen replied that they would like to send a mailing to all citizens in C'ien Prairie with a questionnaire in regard to knowledge of drug problem, the needs of the community with this problem, etc. fie said that th!.� mailing could perhaps be done for a cost of about $300 for postage a;ri printing. He was asked by the Council to report back at the September 12th meeting with more details about this survey. C. Flichael J. Richter. Request for Small Kennel License. The blana er reviewed a report by the Sheriff's office on the application by iir. Richter for a Small Kennel License on Franlo Road. As the i nr.nvays had been built too close to the neighbor's {tome, it would be impossible to keep the noise and odor from annoying these residents. Under these circumstances the (tanager recommended that the license be denied. Several residents appeared voicing their objections also. A nation was made by iir. McCulloch to deny the Small Kennel License for Michael J. Richter and file a complaint to have the dogs removed. fir. Cosmano seconded. All voted aye. notion carried.

Dick Putnam, Planner presented a proposed pedestrian walkway on Duck Lake Trail to 168th Avenue, County Road 14 from 11ilwaukee Bridge to L-:ther Hay. He stated that the total length of the proposed walkway from Ticonderoga Trail to 168th Avenue is approximately 5,710 feet. By removing the Bru-Mar, Kemrich Inc. subdivision and church property fronting on Duck Lake Trail and total remaining is 2.260 feet at about $1.50 per foot of 4 foot walkway would cost an estimated total of $5,175. The suggested location of a walkway on the east shoulder of County Road /4 from the bridge to Luther flay has been thus far looked upon as being unfavorable by the County Highway Deportment. lhey are studying the possibility of a different location. The total length would be approximately 4,240 feet at about $1.50 per foot with ar. estimated cost of $6.360. l Council Fleeting August 22, 1972 Page Nine Discussion was held on areas along the road where this pathway could be placed. Fir. Putnam felt that an extension of the road would not be safe as the striped line perhaps could not be seen readily during the minter months with snow and ice. A pathway along the ditch or on undeveloped land which might be deeded to the Village at the time of plat approval was also discussed. ihs. ileyers felt that since Duck Lake Trail would be restored after utilities are installed, it would be a suitable time to consider the alternatives of a pathway. This item is to be placed on a future agenda when more data is available I in regard to completion dates on utility installation. 2. License Application List Dated August 22, 1972.

Hoingren, Clerk EDEN PRAIRIE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF PLANNING REPORT DATE: August 15, 1972 PROJECT: Valley Knolls Addition APPLICANT: Bru-Mar Construction Company LOCATION: West of Duck Lake Road, North of Duck Lake Trail and East of Barberry Lane. REQUEST: Rezoning R1 13.5 and Preliminary Plat Approval REFER TO: Proposed Preliminary Plat Valley Knolls Addition July, 1972, and Planning Commission Minutes dated August 1, 1972. COMMENT: Valley Knolls Addition is a conventional single family subdivision using three cul-de-sac streets to cluster the lots in small group- ings. The four lots will have direct access to Duck Lake Trail, but all others are on the cul-de-sacs, Barberry Lane or Duck Lake Road. Sewer and water service will be available in Bar- berry Lane and Duck Lake Trail immediately. The lots on Duck Lake Road do not have sewer and water at this time but could be served from Duck Lake Trail in the future. All underground utilities will be provided by the developer. A strong element of the proposed plan is the four acre public park land to the north. The steep slope separates the open space from the building sites. The bowl shaped land will provide excel- lent winter recreation for children and also connects to the proposed Village golf course area to the west. The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the plat and are in agreement with the park dedication proposed. The 66th street circle proposed adjacent to the park land must be designed with care to minimize the fill required to build the road on the slope. The price range of the home proposed by B:u-Mar Construction is about equal or slightly greater than the existing single family areas and will blend very well. The phasing of the development will begin along Barberry Lane and finish with the lots along Duck Lake Road in two to three years. Za -2- r The use of pedestrian pathways along the rear lot lines was i investigated and alternates proposed. " The backyard pathway in totally planned areas, i.e. Ddenvale and the Preserve can be very workable due to design from beginning to end, separation I of vehicle and pedestrian, hierarchy of trails, and the proper f}— right of way size. Within conventional single family areas the backyard pathway presents problems when imposed in some areas and not others. Examples of this are litter, noise, lack of sufficient right of way, insufficient money for quality details, (lights, benches) and a lack of clear direction in the system. These problems indicate to the staff and Park and Recreation Commission that street oriented pathways and small streets should be used. A possible location of a "sidewalk" could be used along Duck Lake Trail. Some residents in the area have indicated a desire to construct a walkway along Duck Lake Trail to safely get the children to school. Another suggestion is to construct a walk- way along Duck Lake Road to the park since it is a through street. Barberry Lane 1s a residential street that loops and should be ads- quote to use as a walkw/ey. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Recommend that a walkway plan be prepared by the developer along Duck Lake Trail and Duck Lake Road to provide safe pedestrian access to the park. These improvements will be installed by the developer in accordance with the developer's agreement. 2. Recommend to the Council that the Bret—Mar Valley knolls Addition be rezoned RI 13.6 in eccordanoe with the proposed plat Valley Knolls Addition. 3. Recommend approval of the Valley BhoMs Addition preliminary plat. i EDEN PRAIRIE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF PLANNING REPORT r DATE: September 1, 1972 PROJECT: Round Lake Estates APPLICANT: Eliason Builders, Inc. LOCATION: North of T.H. #5, east of Heritage Part 1st Addition and Nest of Round Lake. REQUEST: 1. PUD concept approval on the 50 acre site. 2. Rezoning on the 13.500 sq. ft. lots in Phase I and II to RI 13.5. 3. Preliminary Plat approval at the Phase I portion of 27 1 ots. REFER TO: 1. Brochure "PUD Eliason Builders. Inc, grading plan "proposed Round Lake Estates" and zerox brochure additions September 1. 1972. 2. Planning Commission Minutes August 15. 1972. 3. Village Council Minutes August 22. 1972. 4. Staff Report for Eliason Builders September 1. 1972. BACKGROUND: The Eliason Builders project has been greatly reworked since its original presentation to the Village staff about 3 months ago. Orininally, the plat was to have no public or quasi-public open space and only 13,5DO sq. ft. lots arranged in a standard curvi- linear plat. The original plan did not respect the heavily wooded area to the north nor the small ppoond which had a road through it. At the request of the Village, Eliasons didn't submit that plan and hired Caswell and Associates to prepare a new proposal. Working closely with the Village Planning and Park/Recreation staff, Mr. Harold Olson prepared a revised site plan which is currently under review by the Planning Commission. Mr. 01son presented what was classified a "modified preliminary plat" since it used many of the PUD planning concepts such as cluster arrangements, public and quasi public open space, trail systems and a provision for a unique approach to single family housing on smaller lots. The Planning Commission requested that Mr. Eliason resubmit his proposal under the PUD ordinance because the functions of his plan were better handled using those procedures. The additional information submitted September 1. 1972 is a product of the Commission's request. Page 2 It should be pointed out that the normal procedures for single family platting are not being used in the Round Lake Estates proposal. The developer feels he can provide a better project by using the "newer concepts" and the Village has asked that he use the PUD process. It should be remembered that standard single family plats do not require PUD submission and Mr. Elliason should be commended for using a new, more costly approach to single family development. EVALUATION Open Space: The project provides substantial public dedicated park land to complement Round Lake Park. The public land in the wooded area will give pathway access to Round Lake Park for the Heritage Park residents,future residents to the west and project residents. Preservation of the wooded area and pond are positive elements. The encroachment on the wooded area by the northerly lots will require sensitive building siting to preserve the "forest"character. The public park land that extends south from Round Lake Park to T.A. #5 serves two important purposes. The dedicated right-of-way provides a vital connection for a future pedestrian walk to Mitchell Lake while the lots adjacent to the open space benefit in the visual openness and road noise buffer from T.H.O. The land along the rear lot lines will be owned by the individual residents but a permanent easement will set these areas aside as pathway and "tot lot" uses. The maintenance of these areas will be the responsibility of the residents either by forming a grounds keeping association or each lot owner maintaining his own lot. Before final plat approval is given by the Village the legal questions must be resolved with the matter of maintenance. CIRCULATION:AUTO The proposed plan is conceived to extend the existing street pattern. The use of Heritage Road as the primary access from T.H.#5 will be workable as the only access for a limited time. Other access points must be provided as Phase II of Round Lake Estates begins to accomodate the traffic. The 20-25 homes in Heritage Park today generate about 120 to 175 trips per 24 hour day, all using Heritage Road and T.H45. The addition of 27 single family homes in R.L.E. Phase I will about double the trips to about 300 per day. The problem is not one of of Heritage Roads capacity but rather of the dangerous intersection j with T.H.#5. The sight distance is adequate but not ideal from the intersection of T.H.#5 and Heritage Road. 1 r Page 3 The additional streets proposed would connect to the Round Lake Parkway which will connect to County Road#9 approximately where Round Lake Park's entrance is today and Round Lake Parkway will Join the future east/west collector street. The through streets will give Heritage Park and Elliason's project three entrances where as today only one exists. The remaining streets are cul-de-sacs that are strictly residential streets and will not carry any through traffic. PEDESTRIAN: The proposed development provides each single family lot with sep- arate pedestrian pathways leading to the public pathways and Round Lake Park. Children will be safely moved around by these walkways without interferring with auto movements. The Maintenance of these quazi public systems is critical to success to the concept. The detail proposed, to use a low rail fence with surfaced walkways is a workable means of "tastefully" separating the private yards from the �. walkway. Additional treatments such as bushes, trees etc. may also be used. The walkway system will also allow existing residents of } Heritage Park to get to Round Lake Park by walking on the existing streets or by creating backyard pathways. LAND USE: 105 single family detached homes in this area of the Village seems very appropriate considering the 1968 Guide Plan's suggestions. The adjacent use is 1/2 acre lot single family detached that will not be adversely affected by the proposal. POPULATION: As the brochure indicates the projected school children should not overwhelm the Prairie View Elementary School or the middle or high schools. The children will certainly be important in this family housing area but it should be noted that the varied price housing should give the development some variety. For example the high cost housing In the northern woods will most likely have slightly older families than the $40,000 homes adjacent to Heritage Park. The moderate under $30,000 single family homes proposed on the easterly cul-de-sac might appeal to the young family or the "empty nesters" without kids. The density of the project will be low, about 2 dwelling units/acre with diversified age and income groups. This mixed subdivision is an alternative to the"tract builder" with few models in the same price range. GENERAL EVALUATION: Considering the many desirable/undesirable features of the proposed single family development, my opinion is that an above average single family area has been designed by Mr.Elliason. This is based upon the open space 20-25%, trailways, excellent lot exposures, buffering from T.H.#5 and proximity to Round Lake Park. That is the "good news", the difference between an"above average" and an"excellent"develop- ment will be determined by the construction quality, sans itivs site ! planning and open space malatensenos. Mr. Eiliasort.oan provide. I Page 4 believe that his firm In capable of producing the "excellent environ- ment". STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Approval of the FUD concept plan as submitted except for the specific lot sizes proposed in Round Lake Circle cul-de-sac until detailed design has been completed. 2. Strongly endorse the attempt to achieve diversity in housing cost, styles and appearance in the Round Lake Estates development. 3. Approve the rezoning to RI 13.5 of the single family lots in Phases I and II based upon the plan submitted in the PUD submission. 4. Exclude from any rezoning the Round Lake Circle lots pending detailed design. 5. Require alternate entrances/exits to the development before approval of the Phase H preliminary plat. This will require Village extension of Round Lake Parkway. 6. Approve the Preliminary Plat for Phase I, 27 lot section that is servicable by existing sewer and water as proposed in PUD sub- mission. 7. Final Plat approval will not be granted until the physical and legal methods of handling the quasi-public spaces is acceptable to the Village. 8. All public lands for park and streets must be conveyed prior to final to final plat approval of Phase I. 9. Approval of later preliminary plats must have these lots served by sanitary sewer and water. I i f I i i V 1 Minutes Planning and Zoning August 15, 1972 Page Sewn i E. Valley Knolls Addition - Bru-Mar Construction Com an i Remaests Rezoning R1 13.5 and Preliminary Plat Approval_ The planner briefly discussed the staff report and used aerial , photos to show the character of the site which is flat, prAmarlly, with a steep slope to the north. The planner indicated the advantages of the cul-de-cas streets and the four acre park dedication to with which ties into the proposed park golf course area. i Mr. Casey asked that the Village ."Staff investigate the 4rainage impact on Duck Lake from this project. The inclusion of concret pathways was discussed along Duck Lake Trail and Duck Lake Road because of the "thru" street traffic. Mr. Marve Anderson was agreeable to that su7gestion at ids cost. , The Valley Knolls single family plat is an appropriate addition to the Duck Lake area.

The plan changes were required after detailed soil borings were made that in- dicated a need for concept revision. The revised plan was presented to the Commission at its September Sth meeting without detailed plan refinements. J.H.C. was seeking the Commission's opinions of the new plan before preceding on with its development. The Commission generally agreed with the new plan because it responded to some of their concerns with the first proposal. J.H.C. will present its final plan at the next Commission Meet- ing and would hope for action at that time. In the interest of getting all the information to the Council, the Commission asks that J.H.C. presentation on the September 12th Councii Meeting be postponed until the September 26th meeting. j 'M i. �G BMUER i ASSOCIATES, INC.

We intend to establish user charges that will ad""tely meet current operating expenses, recover a portion of treatment plant capital costs and provide for future system renovation and improvement. B. Uniform special assessment rates for sewer and water trunk benefit .will be established with a provision for periodic adjustment to reflect changes in utility construction costs. 9. Trunk special assessment ievies against occupied residential properties already serviced by an site utility systems will be defamed until such time as the property is benefited by a lateral installation. 10. We will provide a deferred payment option to owners of property assessed only.for trunk benefit. The option should provide for the recovery of interest expenses incurred by tM Village during the deferment psrisd. Resolution No. 42S Page Two il. All Village property owners will be provided options which would permit them to prepay assessments as well as to incur trunk assessments at the rates prevailing at the time this option is exercised even though the system facility for their ors has not yet boon installed. _ 12. We propose to finance the construction of lateral water and satyr facilities with specioi awaesssents levied against properties which they serve or benefit. ' 1). The area to be benefited by sewer and water system.improvoaants . will be considered to be all properties which will be served by lateral facilities extended from the system. i4. We w111 consider the propertias to be benefited by latorsi aswer and water foci IItias to be those directly served by the foci iIty. is. Construction will be scheduled so that the financing of a member of individual projects can be combined to reduce the frequency of sailing bonds and to improve their marketability. 16. Overall Village and School District financing will be periodically reviewed to assure that improvement project financing does not needlessly Interfere with other financing programs. 17. We propose to periodically review the utility financing plan and its component charges, rates and policies and make whatever adjustments are necessary to maintain the plants fiscal soundness and customer or property owner acceptability. B. THE FOLLOWING SYSTEM ASSESSMENT POLICIES ARE HEREBY ADOPTED.. i 1. Assessment terms to be a maxims of 20 years. Interest is to 1 be charged on unpaid balances. 2. System benefits will not be assessed against presently occupied residential lots served with on site systems until property is benefited by lateral. The collection of system assessment may be deferred until time of connection. ). The owners of property, other then those described in Policy 2, which are assessed foO system bonefit and not assessed for Isterol benefit to have the option of deferring payments until 1976. The total principal plus interest accrued during the deferment to be paid over the remaining years of the original assossoont term. 4. Property owners to have the option of prepaying a certified assess apnt in total without interest before November lit of any year and con prepay all.or a portion of a pending assessment at any ties. S. Owners of property not yet assessed for system banefit may request such an assessment at the assessment rate prevailing at the ties of the request. i ti Page three 6. The minimum system access charges for industrial, public and office uses are to be 2 x R.E.C. charge per acre of site needed to aecomodate the building and 3 x R.E.C. rate for commercial uses. The needed site era equals the building area in acres divided by 0.3. 7. The trunk assessment R.E.C. rate wiil apply to only those platted single family lots existing at the date of this Resolution. All other properties will be assessed at the acreage rate. 8. For the purpose of eliminating existing pollution or public health hazards sWor alleviating the potenbial of such hazards from occuring in the future, the Council 'may at its discretion assist in the financing of the installation of lateral satyr end water lines in single family residential areas. This poiiey•will apply only to those properties served by private on site sewer and water systems at the time the public lateral system is first proposed. Financial assistance sholl be limited to not more then 25%of the total assessable lateral cost but in no event shell exceed $1,000 per parcel. 9. Following the adoption of this Resolution persons requesting permits to construct residential units served by an sit* serer and water systems shall be required to deposit the am of$1,000 per building site which monies plus interest at such rate as the Council may resolve shall be held in esdrow and credited to future lateral assaeomsnts.against said building site.

Hologren, Clerk -3- To: The Mayor and Members of the VWpe Council Thru: Bob Heinrich, Village Manager From: Marty Jessen, Director of Parks and Recreation v�1, Date: September 8, 1972 Q Subject: Tree Disease Ordinance The proposed "tree disease ordinance* provides the Village with the safeguards and procedures for an effective program of tree maintenance in Eden Prairie. It allows for Village personnel to make inspection visits on private property for the purpose of deter- mining if tree diseases exist on that property and it allows for the Village to order diseased trees removed from the property - - at the owners expense, either through his action or that of the Villa9e in which case the cost of removal is assessed against the property. Section 8 of the proposed ordinance deals with the transporting of certain types of wood within the Village. This section deals specifi- cally with the dead elm trees that will be transported to the proposed "tree chipping" operation at the landfill site. The intent of this section in the ordinance is to control the spread of tree diseases - - by requiring a permit from the Village on an individual basis. In this way the Village maintains the ability to adjust requirements necessary to transport logs within the Village as new information and conditions become important in dealing with tree disease. Attached is a letter from Luther Nelson of the County Environmental Services Section indicating their support of this section of the ordinance and their willingness to cooperate fully with the Village in this regard. Also attached are two letters to Joe Helgevold giving expert opinions about the likelihood of Dutch Elm activity in chips that might be stockpiled at the landfill site. VILLAGE OF EDEN PRAIRIE ORDINANCE NO. I-e, AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE CONTROL AND _ PREVENTION OF TREE DISEASES. The Village Council of Eden Prairie ordains as follows: Section 1. Declaration of Policy. The Village Council of the Village of Eden Prairie has determined that the health of the trees within the municipal limits is threatened by tree diseases. It is further determined that the loss of trees growing upon public and private property would substantially depreci- ate the value of property within the Village and impair the safety, good order, general welfare and convenience of the public. It is declared to be the intention of the Council to control and prevent the spread of this disease and this ordinance is enacted for that purpose. Section 2. Public Nuisances Declared. The following are public nuisances whenever they may be found j within the Village of Eden Prairie: a. Any living or standing Elm tree or part thereof infected to any degree with the Dutch Elm disease fungus Ceratocystis Ulmi (Buisman) Moreau or which harbors any of the elm bark beetles Scolytus Multistriatus (Eichh.)or Hylurgopinus Rufipes (Marsh). b. Any dead Elm tree or part thereof including logs, branches, stumps, firewood or other Elm material, the bark of which has not been removed. c. Any living or standing oak tree or part thereof infected to any degree with the Oak Wilt Disease fungus Ceratocyrstris Faaacearum. It is unlawful for any person to permit any public nuisance as defined in this section to remain on any premises owned or con- j trolled by him within the Village of Eden Prairie. Such nuisances shall be abated in the manner prescribed by this ordinance. Section 3 Inspection, Investigation and Testing. The Village Manager shall cause all premises and places within the Village to be inspected as often as practicable to determine whether any condition described in Section 2 of this ordinance exists thereon, and to have investigated and tested all reported incidents of such infestation. Section 4. Abatement of Tree Disease Nuisances. In abating the nuisances defined in Section 2, the infected tree or wood shall be sprayed, removed, or otherwise effectively treated so as to destroy and prevent as fully as possible the spread of the disease. Such abatement procedures shall be carried out in accordance with current technical and expert opinions and plans, and with the approval of appropriate Village officials. Section S. Procedure for Removal of Infected Trees and Wood. When it appears with reasonable certainty that the infestation de- fined in Section 2 exists in any tree or wood in any public or private place, the owner shall be notified and ordered to remove the same in a manner approved by the Village Manager. If the owner fails to comply with the order, the Village Manager may act to abate the nuisance. In the event that the owner cannot be con- tacted, the Village shall send notice by certified mail to the last known address of the owner of record and shall then proceed forth- with to abate the nuisance. Section 6. Assessments. Each year the clerk shall list the total unpaid charges for each abatement against each separate lot or parcel to which they are attributable under this ordinance. The council may then spread the charges or any portion thereof against the property involved as a special assessment under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429 and other pertinent statutes, for certification to the county auditor and collection the following year along with current taxes. Section 7. Spraying and Pruning Trees. Whenever it is determined that any tree or wood within the Village is infested by any disease or insects as described in Section 2, the Village may order the owners of all nearby high value trees to prune and to spray the same with an effective preventive concentrate in a manner approved by the Village Manager. Upon failure to comply with such an order, the Village may proceed forthwith to take appropriate action. Spraying activities authorized by this section shall be conducted in accordance with technical and expert opinions and plans of the Commissioner of Agriculture, with the approval of appropriate Village officials, and under the supervision i of the commissioner and his agents whenever possible. Notice I( shall be given as provided in Section 5. Section 8 Transporting Certain Types of Wood Prohibited. It is unlawful for any person to transport within the Village any bark-bearing elm wood or wood infested by disease or insects without having obtained a permit from the Village Manager, who shall grant such permits when the purposes of this ordinance will be satisfied. -3- Section 9 Reporting Discovery of Tree Dieease. Any owner or occupier of land or any person engaged in tree trimming or removal who becomes aware of the existence of a tree disease as defined in Section 2 shall report the same to I the city. Section 10 Interference Prohibited. Village personnel may enter upon private premises at any reason- able time to carry out the purposes of this ordinance. It is unlawful for any person to prevent, delay or interfere with Village personnel while they are engaged in the performance of duties imposed by this ordinance. Section 11. Penalty.

Heinrich, Manager I Village of Eden Prairie 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343 Dear Mr. Heinrich: Re: Hennepin County Proposed Tree and Log Chipping Operation ! I want to thank you and the Village Council for giving Joe Helgevold and myself time at your last council meeting to explain our proposed tree and log chipping operation. Several concerns were expressed by the Village Council, staff and citizens con- cerning certain aspects of the total program. We understand that the major concerns dealt with protection from disease for the existing trees within the Village of Eden Prairie. In particular, the concern was the possible spread of Dutch Elm Disease from diseased logs being transported to the chipping site and the concern for the possible spread of the disease from the use and stockpiling of the chips. The enclosed are copies of letters which state that in the writer's opinions, chips produced from diseased elm trees do not constitute any type of problem after chipping. We are obtaining additional technical expert opinion concerning the transporta- tion of Dutch Elm Diseased trees, especially during the prime beetle emergence season in the late spring. It is the opinion of the technical experts that the trees may be transported at any time except the emergence season and will not cause the spread of the disease. During the beetle emergence season, however, there is the real possibility that the beetles maybe spread unnecessarily by transporting the trees. Hennepin County does not plan to transport diseased elm trees during the beetle emergence season, and we will conform to the provisions of any ordinance adopted by the village. it is also our intention to discourage any transportation of elm trees during the beetle emergence season. Therefore, it is our strong recommendation that all dead or diseased trees should be removed previous to the spring season or during the summer after cases of Dutch Elm D?sease have been diagnosed. This would mean that there should not be any diseased elm trees to be removed during the critical beetle emergence season. Mr. R. P.

Mr. Joe Helgevold 320 Washington Avenue, S. Henniepine County Dept, of Public Works Hopkins, Minnesota 55343 Dear Mr. Helgevold: This letter is in response to your inquiry about the potential hazard of chips made from elms with Dutch elm disease. Briefly, no hazard at _. all exists and the chips present no source of Dutch elm disease inoculum since fermentation prevents colonization by other microorganisms. Like- wise, these chips are not suitable breeding sites for elm bark beetles, and, in fact, the chipping process in all probability will kill beetles or larvae present at the time.

In addition this paL::o en is quite sensiTive to dryness and high temperatures.

In any case, the Dutch elm disease funCus dies and can not be found in such deteriorating wood. Diseased troos that rive boon standing =ore than a year with the bark felling off are no Ion.-Or sources of the diseuso fungus. We also have never found the fungus in.chips rrror.acod fron a diseased troe by chipping machine, once the chips have been ex,) sad to the air u,�y 1ekth of time. In this case I believe there is some initial drying and then --'Th a:such 1=rger er?osure-aroa per unit volume of wood, spores (found in the air :rom corlon fungal contaminates, germinate and the fungal population the cups increses. ::e have not considered chip piles or the use of chips On tr.ils or in;;ardening any factor in the spread of Dutch elm disease. We have considered t::o chipping; of the treos on the site as they are cut the best pr:.ctico to follow since the beetle carrier can be spread to other areas by truispor-Un;; loge unless such lots are ,;iveu spbeial treatment. Steve Van will discuss the beetle relationships, both with lobs and chips in his letter. 41c. Jor:,.aph 14. 11olguvalrl Pago 2 In the case of piling lows cut from diseased tracer such lo,s should be debarked or treated to prevent beetle invasion or emergence. The funus causing Dutch elm disease is able to live in the wood until the bar!: becomes loose. 3t this time other fungi take over and the outter wood drys. The disease fungus oriEinr y eme to North America in elm logs reported from Holland for the veneer industry. I believe that many of the new sites of the disease begin in a woodpile of diseased wood. Our first case in luxes was associated with a woodpile for fireplace use. We can caerionly find the pathogen in diseased cut wood as long as the bars: is tight. I hope the above paragraphs gives you the information concerning the Disease relationship to elm wood and possible source of the disoasc funLvs in disea-sed wood treated in different ways. The whole Dutch elm diso;se story is a "beautiful" ecolo;ical relationship: The Loetle carrier needs woel:en or dyinc elm in which to breed; the disease fungus needs elm living ;atd/or dead wood (e_l.) in which to ow; the beetle carrier needs living elm to focq.:)on '_n the adult stager thus inocul,ting a healthy elm in its foeding if the cdu't c.ier,ec. from :?isoasod :good carr,;ing the fun gus on its body; the elm host dies r�s a result of the reaction of the host to the presence of the disease fungus; and the whole cycle begins again with dying diseased elm attracting the beetle carr:i.cr to breed in it. The losers are the elm host and man, who has used elm as a shade tree. The next time I am in I•:inneapolis at the Guthrie I will try to call you. l:e should be up twice nore bofore winter.

Sincerely yours $1N.�I h:c:;abbr Jr, Professor of Forest Pathology I i i F OPERATIONS PLAN HENNEPIN COUNTY TREE RECYCLING CENTER The actual tree recycling operation will take place In the easterly por- tlon of the property owned by International Disposal Corporation of Minnesota, Inc., located at 10055 Flying Cloud Drive, Eden Prairie, i Minnesota. See enclosed plan sheets. I • Trees and tree materlals will be brought to the site by any persons wishing to dispose of these materials. The I.D.C. gate attendant will collect an appropriate fee for Hennepin County from those persons wishing to dispose of the tree materials and direct them to the operations area. The trucks will dump the tree materials as•directed by signs or Hennepin County personnel. It is proposed that. the materials will be piled in long windrows prior to the actual tree chipping operation. i It Is planned that stumps and oversized logs will be separated from the general piles before the chipping operation. The operational site will be graded to drain In a northerly direction with a minimum slope of one percent. The access roadway and main roadway within the site will be surfaced with six inches of crushed rock. The long windrows of tree materials wlI I then be chipped as necessary and blown Into the central chip pile as shown on the plan. It Is conceivable that additional segregation of tree materials could take place and different qualities of chips produced; however, this type of operation needs to be determined In the field. . l i Additional equipment necessary at the operations area Includes a wheel- type loader with a log-handling attachment to move tree materials about the site as necessary. _ It is proposed that the wood chips will be loaded Into trucks and hauled away from this site for use as mulch in landscaping projects, for live- stock bedding, for decorative landscaping, or such other appropriate uses as can be found. The picking up of wood chips with small vehicles (cars, trailers, pickup trucks) will be discouraged at this site. If a large number of persons are Interested in obtaining wood chips In this manner, we would anticipate setting up a different location where they could obtain these materials. Major factors that Influence this recommendation are the amount of traffic into the landfill site area and the problem of -numerous people actually in the operations area Itself. The county has been negotiating with a private concern to take care of the stumps and oversized logs, either chipped on our,property or hauled to a different site. Hennepin County will maintain the actual operations area and the roadway, which is unique to the tree recycling operation. Appropriate signs wilt be posted directing people to the tree recycling area and provide Instruc- tions for dumping. It should be emphosiied that no materials will be disposed of at this site. Any'materials which would be buried would be taken to the actual landfill operation of I.D.C. and burled at that location. If the tree 2 recycling operation were to be discontinued, the troe materials and chips would be removed, and except for the modifications relating to the leveling off of the area, the site would remain in its original condition, 8.30-72 LICENSE APPLICATION LIST DATED SEPTEMBER 12, 1972 Plumbina &Gas Fitter Domestic Heating Co., Inc. -Plumbing -Donald Voss Domestic Heating Co., Inc. -Gas Fitter - Hartley 1.

Special efforts in recent years have been made to provide "personalized" service to residents who call or visit the Village Hall. This effort, maximizing public relations, has tended to minimize our productivity. We recognize that we are here to serve and, in fact, enjoy the contact with our citizens, but as our community grows, greater demands are made upon US. Suggestions were made at the retreat, and again more recently in staff meetings,that the clerical staff needed help in order that the clerks as well as program heads would be more productive and efficient. Our study of office space needs forced us to analyze the functions presently being performed. As a result the space available has been allocated as follows: A Temporary Facility (Approximately 1200 sq. ft.) -- This facility linked by an enclosed hallway to the west of the Village Hall will house Engineering, Inspections and Assessing. B. Lower Level -- Office space for the Village Clerk, Receptionist and Finance Directorand work space for Interns and Recreation Supervisors. C. Upstairs Level -- This area will contain the offices of the Village Manager, Parks and Recreation Director, Planning Assistant and Administrative Secretary as well as conference room space. In order to improve the efficiency of the Village staff it is recommended that authorization be given to immediately have a well qualified clerk to assist in the Assessing Department. This department is responsible for administering special assessments and property appraising, functions and records. Our staff will be overwhelmed as soon as the assessment notices are sent out and people call in for information and/or wish to make prepayments on their assessments. We'll need this additional help as soon as possible. I terminated the services of a young clerk-typist this week effective the 30th of September. Now would be an indeed time to replace this clerk-typist position with the position of administrative secretary. i A well-qualified secretary would permit me to be more effective as well as Mr. Jessen and Mr. Putnam, who would share her services. My former secretary in Minnetonka would fill such a position very well, and, I believe, she would be interested in working for Eden Prairie. I would appreciate the Council meeting with me at 7:00 P.M., prior to our Council meeting to discuss this utter in greater detail. l i F Page Two i !y review of the 1973 budget is nearly complets and find typiq of the proposed budget will occur next week. There will be no additional personal requests submitted to the Village Council in the I 7TW94t. 'I RESOLUTION WHEREAS, many residents of the Village of Eden Prairie are frequent patrons of sporting events at Metropolitan Stadium; and WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Area Sports Commission has developed an extensive recreational complex at the present site in Bloomington with little, if any, expenditure of public tax money; and WHEREAS, the development of a new, specialized, expensive stadium removed from the Metropolitan Stadium complex could result in the need I for taxing jurisdictions other than the City of Minneapolis to parti- cipate in its cost; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Council of the Village of Eden Prairie that it support the expansion of facilities, if a true need exists, at Metropolitan Stadium on the same financial basis as used there previously, and oppose the development of financially unsound projects elsewhere which conceivably might require a broadly based tax support; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the Minnesota Vikings, the Minnesota Twins, the North Star Hockey Team, the Cities of Bloomington and Richfield and the Metropolitan Sports Area Commission.

Date: September 8, 1972 Subject: Drug Abuse Information Survey _ In June of this year a five member team representing Eden Prairie attended the "Operation Alternatives" Drug Seminar in Warrensburg. Missouri. This program was jointly sponsored by the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and Oklahoma State University. The Federal Bureau provided the funds necessary for the Eden Prairie team to attend. The team consisted of: Keith Walt - Public Safety Counselor Dick Werpe - Counselor. Eden Prairie Middle School. Marie St. Pierre - Nurse, High School Harlan Leapold - Chairman, Drug Education Cirriculum Writing Team Alden Keiski - Minister at Eden Prairie Methodist Church The Seminar program covered several local drug programs across the nation and dealt with those components of the programs that had applicability to most local communities. The MONK theory of confronting the drug problem was presented and is the basis for the program proposed at this time. The MONK approach is: Knowled a necessary ' S_Rio to determine/ from which are developed Ob Ctives which determiR to deal with the problem. The initial step in this process is to gain knowledge. There is evidence that a rather serious drug problem exists in the community. Keith Walt. Marie St. Pierre, and Dick Werpe can attest to the problem because they see it day-to-day, at school and in the community. Referrals. treatment centers, local programs, etc. are all considerations in dealing with this problem. The team feels that it is appropriate in the knowledge gathering stage to let the people in the community tell us what they know about drug abuse in Eden Prairie. This would be a two part process: 1) a survey would be completed by students at the schools. and 2) a survey would be mailed to each family for the parents to complete. -c- The second part in the process requires money for postage and sailing in order to give everyone in the commnity a chance to respond. The cost involved is estimated to be $350.00 and this includes printing and addressing envelopes plus postage both ways. The results of this survey should enable the team to begin to develop the needs of Eden Prairie in dealing with this important problem. It will give the community an opportunity to participate in the formulation of the program and analyze its situation at this point in tin and give direction to future efforts in this area. i I
