Resolution No. 561. Mr. Putnam, Village Planer presented and reviewed the Round Lake Estates PUO 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. Eliason submit his proposal under the PUO ordin- ance 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 hand- led 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 #4. The development provides each single family lot with separate pedestrian pathways leading to public pathways and Round Lake Park. The walkway system will also allow existing residents of Heritage Park to get to Round Lake Park. Mrs. Meyers questioned how many homes would be built next year in Phase I, Mr. El iason replied that possibly one half of than. She then asked what price homes would be built on the excluded portion of the PUD on Round Lake Circle and when they would be constructed. Mr. Eliason stated that they would be in the $30,000 price range and built in about 3 years. He also noted 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. A resident on Heritage Road questioned what price hones would be built facing existing properites and was told that they would be in a comparable price range to those now there. Several residents voiced their concern about the traffic problem at the access to and from Heritage Road on TH #5 and the additional traffic that would be created by this project.

Bru-Mar Construction Co. Valley Knolls Addition. Reclassification. from District Rural to District RI 13.5. Ordinance No.185.First Reading. Preliminary Flat Approval. Resolution No. 565. Dick Putnam, Village Planner presented and reviewed the Valley Knolls Addition area plans. He stated that it is a conventional single family subdivision using three cul-de-sac streets to cluster the lots in small groupings. Four of the lots will have direct access to Duek 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 Barberry Lane and Dud. Like Trail immediately, lots on Duck Lake Road do not have sewer and watrr at this time but could be served from Duck Lake Trail in the future. All underground utilities will 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 separates the open space from the building sites. The land will provide an excellent 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 Duck Lake Road could he constructed and a possible "sidewalk" could be used along Duck Lske Treii, Mr. Cosmano questioned about the increase in traffic along Barberry I.rne, Mr. Putnam stated that probably it would double the number of trips per day but that it would be the slow traffic type of auto movement. Mrs. Meyers also noted that she was concerned about the increase in traffi. on Duck Lake Trail. There being no further questions or comments, a motion was made by Mr. Nesbitt to close the hearing and approve the reclassification from Distric Rural to District RI 13.5 in Valley Knolls Addition.

The additional streets in the project would connect to the proposed Round Lake Parkway which will connect to County Road ##4. The development provides each single family lot with separate pedestrian. pathways leading to public pathways and Round Lake Park. The walkway system will also allow existing residents of Heritage Park to get to i Round Lake Park. n C� 3.`.r yak Mrs. Meyers questioned how many hangs would be built next year, Mr. ),i„` Ell iason replied that possibly one half of them. /4,- ,,E what price homes would be acing existing properties and was told , / that,they would be in the `)-0,000 price range.

Marty Jessen, Park Director reviewed a Drug Abuse Information Survey dated September C, 1972 for the Council. The report contained a review of the "Operation Alternatives" drug seminar that a five menb er team representing Eden Prairie attended in June in Warrensburg, Missouri. The team feels that it is appropriate to let people in the community tell the Village what they know about drug abuse in Eden Prairie. The survey would be completed by students at the schools and a survey would be mailed to each family for the parents to complete. The results of this survey should enable the team to begin to develop the needs of Eden Prairie in dealing with this problem. Money for postage and mailing in order to give everyone in the community a chance to respond would be needed. The cost involved is estimated to be$350 for printing and addressing envelopes plus postage both ways.

Minnesota 55343 Dear Mr. Chambers: • I am requesting that the trunk sewer assessment on our home at 18930 Lotus View Drive be changed from.9 net acre to one R. E. C. It is obvious to everyone that the seven or eight homes in this area should not have been built until the land was platted. but certainly these past errors should not impose financial penalties on present area homeowners. Someone raised the question as to the possibility of people • solting part of their'acre lots to someone else for a home site. If you are familiar with tho homes on Highway 101 and those on Lotus View Drive. you will readily see this is impossible because of the stream leaving Lotus Lake. Respectfully submitted. I oren It. Irvine cct Robert Heinrich Paul Redpath • • ([1--E 17)1,?•*. Sfer L I q3a 315110c1 14303 • September 29, 1972 Mr. John Frang Eden Prairie Finance Director _ Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343 Dear Mr. Frang: I believe we both agree that there are an infinite number of combinations of trunk assessments, connection charges and user fees that can be used to finance the trunk sewer and water systems. It appears we drastically differ on which combination, because I feel the benefit theory of the 1898 Supreme Court is current. It appears to me that you are drastically against a high connection charge, because this might slow the growth rate. I agree with your logic and conservatism on this, even though I understand Chanhassen has a $380 water connection charge and a$320 sewer connection charge. If those that receive benefit from the trunk sewer system should pay for it than probably the first thing to do is establish a reasonable monthly user rate. After checking a number of suburbs and out state rates I find a range of$3.00 to$5.00 per month minimum(using 3 to 6 winter months water to adjust for higher sewer usage), with most suburbs falling into the $3.50 to$4. 00 per month range. It then appears logical to me that the Eden Prairie user rate should also fall into the $3.50 to$4.00 per month minimum range. Using a $3.50 per month minimum charge and leaving the connection charge at $135 per unit and using the number of anticipated hook ups each year an additional $3,263, 160 will be derived; using a $4.00 per month minimum, $4,894,740 extra will be raised. The present proposal I believe calla for raising$750 per acre on 9000 net acres, which would be $6,750,000. If we subtract the additional money derived from user fees it`appears the assessments could be lowered to $375 per acre with a $3.50 per month minimum or$200 per acre with a $4. 00 per month minimum. Flaws may exist in some of these assumptions, but I do not feel a $3. 50 to$4.00 per month user fee will lower the village growth, actually the reduction in assessments charge should lower the cost of each new living unit built. The only draw back to my proposed higher user fee now appears to be that leas money would come in in early years. This could then•be remedied by making the assessment payable in 8•to 10 years. Under the present 20 year assessment period over 40% of the money paid would be for interest, whereas a 10 year assessment would have 26%going for interest and an 8 year assessment would have 22% going for interest. Page 2 In comparing the water rates with other suburbs, it appears we also are in the lower range, plus the water in Eden Prairie will be a softer water. I feel - we can then also raise the user fee on water enough to lower the trunk water — assessment to$200 per acre or less. There has been much concern in the inability of getting low and medium income housing in Eden Prairie. If the sewer and water trunk assessment is dropped to $490 per acre the cost of a single family home on 1/2 acre would immediately drop$450 and an average townhouse or condominium should also cost about$200 less. I feel my proposal will make it more feasible to provide low and medium income housing in Eden Prairie,'it will greatly reduce the burden placed on present residents, it will have no harmful effects on any developer. , The enclosed sheet contains some of the details and assumptions of my proposal. Sincerely, • Loren R. Irvine P. S. I still feel it may be necessary in a few cases to delay assessment on • small home acreages where any assessment would force someone out of their home and onto welfare. • • • • ;i ALTERNATE WATER & SEWER TRUNK PROPOSAL Trunk Sewer Assessment $200 per Net Acre $80 per R.E.C. • Trunk Water Assessment $200 per Net Acre $ 80 per R.E.C.

The Manager was instructed to draft a letter to Mr. Miller acknowledging receipt. C. Petition from New Town Development Requesting Construction of Divided Lane Parkway to Serve Development. The Manager reviewed and presented a petition from New Town Development for a divided lane to serve the development. The Council felt that since they do not know the alignment of Freeway 212 and that they saw no reason for granting the request until sales adaptability is presented. Mrs. Meyers made a motion to accept the petition and place on file but to deny the feasibility report. Mr. McCulloch seconded. All voted aye. Motion serried. D. Petition from New Town Development Requesting Construction of Water Lateral Mains to Serve Development. The Manager reviewed and presented the petition from New Town Develop- ment for construction of lateral water mains to serve the development. He recommended accepting the petition and ordering a feasibility study. A motion was made by Mr. Nesbitt to approve the Manager's recommendation. Mr. Cosmano seconded. On roll call, all voted aye. Motion carried. E. Request from Crown Auto Stores, Inc. to issue Municipal jndustrtrl. Deve1spent Bonds. The Manager reviewed a letter received from Damn, Kalman & Quail, Inc. requesting the Village to issue municipal development bonds for Crown Auto Stores. The Manager felt that he wanted to check with Moody- Standard &Poor to find out if this type of bonds affects the Village rating. Discussion was held with the Council and Village Attorney and they decided to table the matter until a later date. Council Meeting September 26, 1972 Page Two open on Duck Lake Road rather than Barberry Lane. The Planner replied that this could be done but that utilities would have to be installed on Duck Lake Road and also the street upgraded. A resident on Duck Lake Trail asked about plans for widening his street. The Planner informed him that this was not in the Guide Plan, that Duck Lake Trail would be a connector street and that a new route is proposed to the south to carry traffic. Robert Waldeck, Barberry Lane, stated that water gathers at the intersection of Barberry Lane and Duck Lake Trail and he felt that this development would create more problems at this point. The Planner stated that storm drains would be required in the development to ease this problem. Dale Lommen, Barberry Lane, appeared to inform the Council that he was not against the project but thought the developer should try to make the plat more livable. He stated that he liked the one loop plan that provides another exit to Barberry Lane. Mrs. Larry Todd, West 66th Street, stated that she liked the cul-de-sacs in the project but would like to see the one on the south reversed. John Fredrickson, Duck Lake Trail, asked if the value of his property would not be reduced by emptying all of the traffic on Duck Lake Trail. The Manager replied that he thought it would not and that new roads are being planned, perhaps in 5 years. Mr. Fredrickson asked if the Manager thought this development would not make the increased trips excessive, he replied that he thought that it would not. Douglas Chase, Barberry Lane. presented a petition signed by affected property owners stating that they were opposed to the rezoning from RI 22 to RI 13.5 and that alternate routes should be provided for the school and increased traffic. He then asked if there would be a sidewalk on Barberry Lane if this project were approved. The Planner replied that there would not but that a walkway is proposed on Duck Lake Trail for the project. There being no further comments or questions, a motion was made by Mrs. Meyers to approve the preliminary plat of Valley Knolls Addition but to reverse the cul-de-sac on the south to Duck Lake Road. She then asked that costs be computed in order to extend utilities on Duck Lake Road and also to upgrade the road, what assessable costs would be to affected property owners. She also requested a study in order to find out what traffic volume it would take to have four-way stop signs installed on Duck Lake Trail and Duck Lake Road. Mr. McCulloch seconded. Mrs. Meyers and Mr. McCulloch voted aye. Messrs. Redpath, Nesbitt, and Cosmano voted no. Motion denied. A motion was made by Mr. Nesbitt to approve the preliminary plat of Valley Knolls as planned and instruct the Village Manager to instigate a traffic study on Duck Lake Trail and Duck Lake Road.

The Planner replied that this could be done but that utilities would have to be Installed on Duck Lake Road and also the street upgraded. A resident on Duck Lake Trail asked about plans for widening his street. The Planner informed him that this was not in the Guide Plan, that Duck Lake Trail would be a connector street and that a new route is proposed to the south to carry traffic. Robert Waldeck, Barberry Lane, stated that water gathers at the intersection of Barberry Lane and Duck Lake Trail and he felt that this development would create more problems at this point. The Planner stated that storm drains would be required in the development to ease this problem. Dale Lommen, Barberry Lane, appeared to inform the Council that he was not against the project but thought the developer should try to make the plat more livable. He stated that he liked the one loop plan that provides another exit to Barberry Lane. Mrs. Larry Todd,West 66th Street, stated that she liked the cul-de-sacs in the project but would like to see the one on the south reversed. John Fredrickson, Duck Lake Trail, asked if the value of his property would not be reduced by emptying all of the traffic on Duck Lake Trail. The Manager replied that he thought it would not and that new roads are being planned, perhaps in 5 years. Mr. Fredrickson asked if the Manager thought this development would not make the increased trips excessive, he replied that he thought that it would not. Douglas Chase, Barberry Lane, presented a petition signed by affected property owners stating that they were opposed to the rezoning from RI 22 to RI 13.5 and that alternate routes should be provided for the school and increased traffic. He then asked if there would be a sidewalk on Barberry Lane if this project were approved. The Planner replied that there would not but that a walkway is proposed on Duck Lake Trail for the project. There being no further comments or questions, a motion was made by Mrs. Meyers to approve the preliminary plat of Valley Knolls Addition but to reverse the cul-de-sac on the south to Duck Lake Road. She then asked that costs be computed in order to extend utilities on Duck Lake Road and also to upgrade the road, what assessable costs would be to affected property owners.
