The Village Manager reviewed a letter dated October 19, 1972 from Eden Land Corp. in regard to the slope lying on the west edge of Edenvale 5th Addition and adjacent to the Purgatory Creek park system. Mr. Donald Peterson stated in the letter that they would conmit to placing an item in the protective covenants which will prohibit the construction of any building or fence of any kind other than natural plantings from being constructed upon this slope. Village Attorney, Harlan Perbix stated that this was a private restriction, that people buy with restrictions on property in the plat. Mrs. Moyers stated that she felt the covenant was hard to enforce and that she would still like the tree line used. Mr. McCulloch related that he has discussed the plat with the residents of Hillcrest and the comma of opinion was that it was acceptable as laid out. Doug Donovan, N. Hillcrest Ct. stated that he did not want the road extended accross the creek and felt the covenant was acceptable if enforcible. Mr. Peterson replied that Eden Land Corp. does not plan to cross the creek, still feels the walkways are sufficient. Mrs. Meyers questioned whether the covenant prohibits steps on the slopes, Mr. Peterson replied that it did not. She also asked if variances on lots would be acceptable, Mr. Peterson replied that it could be but that the reduced lot size would lessen the sales value. There being no further questions and/or commits Mr. Nesbitt made a :Wien to close the hearing and reclassify Edenvals 5th Addition from District Rural to District RN 6.5. Mr. McCulloch seconded.

Council Meeting October 24, 1972 Page Two B. Warren Shultz. Two Acre Subdivision East of County Road #4 Between Kurtz Lane and Park Terrace Drive. Rezoning from District Rural to Oistrict RI 13.5. Preliminary Plat Approval. Several residents in the Paradise Valley area appeared to discuss the Warren Shultz subdivision. The Mayor informed them that the Planning Commission had recalled the proposed plat for further study. The Village Planner, Didc Putnam stated that the reason for recalling was that the land to the east was available for sale. A resi dent asked i f they could be notified when this item was placed on the Planning and Zoning and the Council agenda, the Mayor stated that it would be done. A motion was made by Mr. Nesbitt to continue the hearing on the Marren Shultz subdivision until the Planning Coamission sends its recommendation to the Council. Mrs. Meyers seconded. All voted aye. Motion carried. C. Edenvale Industrial Park 2nd Addition. Final Plat Approval. Resolution No 600. A motion was made by Mr. Nesbitt to adopt Resolution No. 600 approving the final plat of Edenvale Industrial Park 2nd Addition. Mrs. Meyers seconded. All voted aye. Motion carried. D. Hirsch Development Corporation. The Preserve. Reclassification from District Rural to District RM 2.5. Ordinance No. 191. First Readino. Preliminary Plat Approval. Resolution No 601 Mr. Bill Bonner and Don Rippel presented and reviewed the Townhouse/patio homes proposed in lots 6 and 7 in The Preserve, Phase land rezoning the entire 25 acre parcel. The plan util izes small, private cul-de-sacs with approximately 30 units served from Neill Lake Road. The exception is the large cluster on the hill to the east where 56 units use a 1,500 foot long cul-de-sac with access onto Franlo Road. Parking is provided for the townhouse/patio home units with 3.3 spaces per unit. The enclosed parking is 1.5 per unit. Recreational vehicle storage is in the enclosed garages which also function as walls for play areas. Mr . Rippel stated that the public pathway along the Olyrapic Hills Golf Course should not create a conflict if the choice of materials used for separation is well suited. The public and Hirsch residents will not be able to walk on the fairways. Natural barriers such as ponds and water channels combined with low bushes would provide the boundary line. Mayor Recpath asked if the edge of the golf course should not be fenced. Mr. Rippel felt that there would probably not be a problem as it is • par 3 hole. He thought possibly the Village would want some protection when pathways are planned totem- on.and that something could be worked out with the golf course. Mrs. Meyers questioned whether the units would be for sale or rented. Mr. Flipp& replied that they would be for sale in the $27,000 to $33,000 price range. Mr. McCulloch then stated that he thought that the booklet submitted by Hirsch Development Corp. was done wall and the person or persons responsible should be commended. Council Meeting October 24, 1972 Page Three There being no further questions and/or comments Mrs. Meyers made a motion to approve the reclassification of the Hirsch Development in The Preserve from District Rural to District RN 2.5.

All voted aye. Motion carried. A motion was made by Mr. Nesbitt to adopt Resolution No. 601 approving the preliminary plat, Hirsch Development Corp., The Preserve, First Phase. Mrs. Meyers seconded. All voted aye. Motion carried. E. Shadow Green. Mark Z. Jones. Edenvale. Rezone North and South Site from District Rural RM 2.5 and rezone Convenience Center from District Rural to C-carmercial. Ordinance No. 192. First Reading. Preliminary Plat Approval. Resolution No. 607. Don Peterson, Eden Land Corp., Mark Z. Jones, Dick Schwartz, Architect and Jim Robins, Landscape Architect presented and reviewed the Shadow Green project in Edenvale near the Valley View and Baker/Mitchell roads intersection. The plan consists of 3 sites, the north and south rental apartment project and the neighborhood commercial center. Buildings in the north site are proposed of wood frame, 3 story with basement underground parking. Each building will be served by elevators that feed double load central corridors. Each structure will have about 70 units of varied unit type. Balcony space is provided for each unit. The south site will have a different approach because of the steep slopes and mature trees. The units will be thru-building, like a town- house with at least two sides exposed. Entry to the units will be by a stair tower serving six units each with a separate entry. The uphill buildings will be three storys of wood frame construction with a balcony and views over the golf course. The Convenience Center is proposed as an auto, quick service neighborhood caner. The access to the center will be limited since no median cuts will be allowed on Mitchell with only one on Valley View. The basic use of the corner as a commercial site is an obvious choice due to its high exposure to two community streets. The southeastern quadrant of the intersection will have a community commercial shopping center. The other corners will complement that center by supplying non-commercial uses, church and housing. There are 50 parking spaces provided on the site, the spaces divided into small lots. Smaller landscaped parking areas are more easily landscaped. The buildings will be of masonry with a brick exterior. Glass and wood will be used for entry and window facades. The roof over the gas pumps will have wood trim running between the building and the fin wall towards the road. Didc Putnam, Village Planner felt that these details were important because the structure is contemporary, with strong messing forms for the garage and grocery. He also suggested that detailed building designs be approved by the planning staff prior to granting a building permit, that detailed landscape plans also be submitted and that all parking areas will be adequately screened with earth or plant material. Council Meeting October 24, 1972 Page Four Mrs. Meyers questioned if the Planning Department had checked with the Fire Department on wood frame construction with garage in the basement. The Mayor asked if the present equipment that the Fire Department has could handle this type of construction. Jack Hacking, Director of Public Safety stated that the present townhouses could not be reached with present equipment. The Manager added that aerial equipment could be placed in the 1974 or 1975 budget. Dick Putnam, Village Planner suggested that the Village could use other communities on these calls. Mr. McCulloch noted that he had a real concern for this type of housing, felt that it was a little intense for the area and not in keeping with the single family type of homes nearby. Mr. Don Peterson, Eden Land Corp. replied that the site is almost surrounded by the golf course and that the development is planned close to the core of Edenvale for this type of density. He feels that it is of medium density. Mrs. Meyers questioned how many units would be on the north site and the south site of the project. Richard Schwarz replied that there are 212 units proposed in the north site and 180 in the south. She stated that she felt that the parking sites on both north and south were offensive. Mr. Schwarz replied that they had tried to face all of the units to the golf course with parking units in the center with trees and berms to break up the expanse. Mrs. Meyers asked if each unit would have and Inside parking space and Mr. Schwarz said they they would. Mr. Nesbitt asked about estimated rental rates. Mr. Schwarz said that the units would rent from $185 to 200 for 1 bedroom, $225 to 250 for 2 bedroom and up to $300 for three bedroom. Mr. Nesbitt asked Aare construction would start, Mr. Schwarz replied that it would be in Phase I in the south site. Mr. Putnam stated that he thought it was a well done project for this site and that Edenvale was providing a wide range of types of rental units. Wolf Penzel, Barberry Lane questioned if the north and south sites could be separated for approval. Mr. Nesbitt replied that 'then the PUO was accepted both sites were approved. The Village Manager stated that he hanedli with both Edenvale and The Preserve in regard to their PUD's a vi RPM on of density.and open space. He stated that they must have the density in order to develop with the open space requested by the Village. Mrs. Meyers requested time to be able to study the shopping center area. Mr. McCulloch stated that he would like to go over the site. A motion was was made by Mrs. Meyers to postpone action on this matter until the November 14th meeting. Mr. McCulloch seconded. All voted aye. Motion carried. Council Meeting October 24, 1972 Page Five III. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS A. Cram Auto Stores. Inc. Municipal Industrial Development Bonds. The Manager related that the Village had made application for approval of Municipal Industrial Revenue Bonds with the State of Minnesota, Department of Economic Development for approximately $1,345,000. He noted that land acquisition and site development in the amount of $185,000, construction contracts for $787,700, equipment acquisition and installation for $169, 088 with the remaining for architectural and engineering fees, legal fees, interest during construction, rent reserve and miscellanous are estimated.

The tentative lease term will be 20 years camencing November 1, 1972 and the tenant will have the option to purchase the project for a nominal value upon expiration of the lease term. The Manager recommended that all points in the guidelines of Resolution No. 596 have been met to his satisfaction. The Village Attorney said that he had received the trust agreement and lease agreement. He then read a letter from Dein, Kalman i Quail Inc. stating their intention at the appropriate time to submit to the Village their written proposal for the purchase of the bonds. Resolution No. 604 was reviewed by Mt. Perbix in regard to various documents that need to be acted upon. Mayor Reath stated that he had had reservations about the Village's involvement with Municipal Industrial Development Bonds but that the guidelines is Resolution No. 596 were most helpful and that he thought this was a good way to get good industry in Eden Prairie. Mrs. Meyers questioned why these bonds were handled differently, do they have to be offered for sale publicly? Jerome Donndelinger, Dalin Kalman replied that the principal and interest are not paid by the Village hence there would be no public sale. There being no further questions or comments, Mrs. Meyers made a motion to adept Resolution No. 604 approving various documents in regard to the Crown Auto Stores, Inc.

PUBLIC HEARING Trunk Sewer and Trunk Water Assessment Marina. (Continued from 9/25/72) The Mayor reopened the Trunk Sewer and Trunk Water Assessment Hearing continued from September 25th. The Manager presented letters in regard to the trunk assessments from Loren R. Irvine, Lotus View Drive, Eden Land Corp. and the Metropolitan Airports Commission.to be placed on file. He then reviewed the Trunk Assessment Policies and Green Acres reports dated October 10, 1972. Wolf Penzel, Barberry Lane questioned whether a 3 acre lot could be a residential lot, the Manager replied that it could be. Mr. Loren Irven stated that he did not approve of the $2.50 minimum user rate per month, feels that it should be higher. He stated that in most areas around Eden Prairie have a $3 to $3.50 rate per month. He questioned why the Village was lower than any other suburb. Mr. Frane, Finance Director stated that the staff felt that the first hook-ups should not pay more than others later on and that the user fee could be raised if necessary later on. Paul Choiniere questioned why the trunk assessment was estimated to be $270 in 1970 and now is $520. Mr. Frans replied that a questionnaire was included with the homestead mailing that year asking the residents which method of payment they would prefer. The majority of the residents replied that they wanted higher assessment and lower connection charges. The Manager then reviewed the current System Availability Charges by the Metro Sewer Board. He then presented the current proposed SAC charges, $275 in 1973, $300 in 197It and up $25 each year through 1977 at the time of connection. If connection is made to existing systems in 1973 the SAC charge will be at the rate of 1/2. There will be no SAC charge if connection is made before December 31, 1972. Wolf Penzel, Barberry Lane questioned how residents were going to take advantage of these rate reductions for early connection when the work was not completed in their area. The Manager advised him that letters would be sent to the residents in the area stating that they could get their permits to connect by December 31, 1972 even though actual connection would not be until a later date. Loren Irvin, Lotus View Drive then requested if his property could be included in the proposed benefited area because construction of the trunk pipe westerly from Du& Lake Trail to Chanhassen had not been started. He was told that his area could only be served by lateral extension from the trunk proposed for Chenhessen. He than Council Meeting October 10, 1972 Page Two asked if the Village could be compelled through legal action to Install the pipe to Chanhassen. The Village Attorney replied that this action could be accomplished only for public health reasons. Mr. Don Peterson, Edenvele Corp. questioned if the Golf Course could be included in assessments for trunk sewer and water since It must be kep for open space. He was referred to the Village Assessor to try to resolve this question. Ron Ranzow representing the King of Glory Church on Duck Lake Trail appeared to object to being assigned more than 1 assessment on the church property. He was referred to the Village Assessor to try to resolve this question. A resident in the Duck Lake area asked when the people in her area would know when hook-up would be available. The Manager indicated that letters would be sent to Duck Lake residents when sewer and water would be avail ab 1 e.

Don Peterson reviewed and presented the proposed Edenva l e 5 t h A d d i t i o n in Outlot W in Edenvale 3rd Addition for Rh 6.5 zonin g f o r s i n g l e f a m i l y detached homes. The site is a high, heavily wood knoll o v e r l o o k i n g Purgatory Creek. Through the middle of the site is a 12" w a t e r m i n that will be the location of the street. The sewer inte r c e p t o r e a s e m e n t borders the site on the west. The easement continues abo u t h a l f w a y u p the cleared slope overlooking Purgatory Creek. The tree l i n e r o u g h l y corresponds to where the slope increases in pi tch. The t r e e l i n e i s about 50-25 feet from the sewer easement. The proposed p l a n h a s l o t s that vary from 11,000 to 22,000 square feet. Discussion w a s h e l d i n regard to the narrow public right of way along Purgatory C r e e k a d j a c e n t to Outlots & W. Dick Putnam, Village Planner felt tha t a n a t u r a l barrier such as a tree line would be the best idea to se p a r a t e p u b l i c from private land because a scenic easement leaves too m u c h o p e n t o question. Mr. Peterson stated that he felt that this wa l k w a y i s o n l y a connection between the North Park and the South Park a n d t o g e t t o a school/park area of 35 acres. He noted that the lots are large, 17,000 to 21,000 square feet and felt that if the lots would be d e c r e a s e d i n size because of extending the walkway to the tree line , t h e v a l u e o f t h e lots would dimish. Mr. Putnam stated that he still felt that the tree line would be the park/private boundary rather than the e d g e o f t h e sewer easement. Mr. Cosmano and Mayor Reath felt that they wanted to in s p e c t t h e a r e a in question before making any decision. A motion was made by Mr. Nesbitt to postpone action on t h e m a t t e r u n t i l the October 24th meeting. Mr. Cosmano seconded. All voted aye. Motion carried. B. HiqhPoint Addition II.

Mrs. Meyers questioned whether the ponding area might not be a hazard for children. Mr. Putnam stated that the area would have gradual slopes and would overflow into Anderson Lakes and he felt that that it would not. There being no further questions and/or comments, Mr. Comnano made a motion to close the hearing and approve reclassification of Highpoint Addition II from District Rural to District RM 6.5. Kr.

Preliminary and Final Plat Approval. Resolution No. 595. Dick Putnam, Village Planner reviewed the Center Plat as a further refinement of The Preserve Concept Plan to divide the land effeciently into easily defined parcels before development. The plat does not authorize any development but only defines building sites. Currently Lots 1 and 2 are being considered for development proposals by Jonathan Housing Corporation and Preferred Developers Corporation. Lot 3 will be developed as a community center with commercial , community services and open space. The plat is located north of Neill Like and south of the East/West Parkway on approximately 33 acres. The Preserve is requesting waiver of the easement that had been dedicated along the road for utility construction. The utilities were installed within the dedicated East/West Parkway. A motion was made by Mr. Nesbitt to adopt Resolution 595 approving the preliminary and final plat of Canter Mat with the release of the utility easement subject to Village Attorney approval. Mr. Cosmano seconded. All voted aye. Motion carried. D. William Dredge. Single Family Detached 1/2 Acre Lots Subdivision. Dick Putnam, Village Planner reviewed the proposed property subdivision by William Dredge into single family detached 1/2 acre lots at the end of Swath Drive on Red Rodc Lake. The Planner and lb. Dredge agreed to subdivide his land into 6 lots of 1/2 acre or more, each,with staff coordination of roacivay and design of property plat. The Planning Commission concurred id th this arrangement. A motion was made by Mr. Nesbitt to approve the William Dredge subdivision as reccomended by the Planning Commission. Mrs. Hams seconded. All voted aye. Motion carried. Council Meeting October 10, 1972 Page Five III PETITIONS, REQUESTS 6, COMMUNICATIONS A. Request of Crown Auto Stores, Inc. Municipal Industrial Development Bonds. Continued from September 26, 1972. The Manager reviewed his recommendations to the Council dated October 4, 1972.es follows: 1. Only new construction or plant expansion amounting to $500,000 or more would be eligible for financing through M.I.D.B.'s. 2. Complete set of audits for two previous years must be provided. 3. A copy of Dun and Bradstreet's most recent Rating Report must be provided. 4. There must be "minimum coverage" of 2 X the Principal and Interest due earned annually the previous year before taxes. There must also be a demonstrated record of yearly increases in earnings before taxes. 5. The fair market rental value of the building must be equal to or exceed the total amount of bonds and interest due. An appraisal may be required to verify fair market rental value. 6. Administrative and legal costs to issue the bonds will be paid by the applicant industry. Mayor Redpath questioned whether this was the policy that the Village should adopt. The Manager replied that we had no guide lines and would have to set up our cern. Don Peterson, Edenvale stated that they were in favor of the MIDB's in order to attract prime industry. Wolf Penzel questioned if Crown Auto or any other industry were to become default would this change the Village bond rating. The Manager replied that they would not be included in the municipal debt but any default would be a discredit to the community but would also show a plus in a prospectus if it mere a good company. He also stated that the Village should be very selective. Mrs. Meyers commented. that she had reservations in that this action might open the proposal up to many industries. She asked if the Village could refuse. The Manager replied that the Council could do so if it wished. Mr. Cosmano asked what the next step was. The Vil loge Attorney replied that the Council should adopt the guidl ines in Resolution No. 596 if it so desired. Mr. Nesbitt made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 596 approving the guidlines for Municipal Industrial Development Bonds. Mr. Cosmano seconded. All voted aye. Motion carried. A motion was made by Mr. Nesbitt to adopt Resolution No. 597 giving preliminary approval to Cram Auto Stores, Inc. project under the Municipal Industrial Development Act, referring the proposal to the Department of Economic Development for approval and authorizing preparation of necessary documents.

REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. Mark Z. Jones Associates, Shadow Green, rental apartments and convenience center located in Edenvale. The revised site plan dated October 12, 1972, and response to the Staff Planning Report were presented by Mr. Schwarz and discussed with the Commission. The objections by Mr. Fosnocht related to there being only one tennis court for the north site, the intensity of the buildings on both sites, and the large amount of parking. Mr. Sorensen commended the developers for creating a good site plan, given the structural type and density requirements, but he could not endorse the total project because the site was too intensely used. Other members of the Commission felt that this revised plan improved the original plan by "attending to details" and felt that the site plan and building plans were very good. Mrs. S.chee was not able to attend due to illness, but believes the Shadow Green project is well done and makes appropriate use of the land. Action Taken: Brown moved and Boerger seconded to recommend approval of the Shadow Green apartment development br RM 2.5 zoning, development stage approval, and a revision of the preliminary plat. Approval is based upon the recom- mendation of the Staff Report dated September 15, 1972, and the modified site plan dated October 12, 1972, submitted by Mark Z. Jones Associates. The rezoning is for the north and south residential parcels based upon the October 12, 1972, plan. Fosnocht asked for a roll call vote. Brown, Mikelson, Boerger voted yes; Sorensen, Fosnocht voted no. Motion passed 3 to 2. Fosnocht moved and Boerger seconded to recommend approval of the neighborhood convenience commercial center for rezoning to C-commercial district, development stage approval, and revised preliminary plat based upon the plan submitted and the Staff recommendations in the Planning Report dated September 15, 1972. One amendment to the Staff Report is Item D under 1: that the sign identifying the service station be restricted to the end walls of the building and not be permitted any other place. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES October 19, 1972 Page Two A roll call vote was taken. Brown, Mikelson, Boerger, Sorensen, Fosnocht voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. B. Hirsch Development Corp., 180 townhouses, patio homes located in The Preserve. Mr. Wally Case from Mr. !tippet's office described the changes to the plan as presented, which involved primarily the crossing of the pathway with two roads and the realigning of units near the crossings. The Planner said the Park & Recreation Commission reviewed the public pathway crossings and believed them to be a good solution. Bill Garens of the Park & Recreation Commission was not in favor and stated he believed a tunnel would be a better solution. The extensive "plaza" design combined with a 4' hard-surfaced pathway through the project on the public right-of-way will be installed by Mr. Hirsch in phases as the project is built. Action taken: Boerger moved and Brown seconded to recommend approval of the Hirsch Development Corporation, 25 acre townhouse/patio home project in The Preserve for rezoning to RM 2.5 and preliminary plat for the 2.5 acre model area and 4.5 acre phase one area. Approval is based upon the revised plan of October 19, 1972, and the recommendations in the Staff Report dated October 12, 1972. Amended to read in recommendation. that ...the plaza' area at the street/pathway crossing be built in the first phase and the foot hard-surfaced path be constructed by the developer in phases. A roll call vote was taken: Brown, Boerger, Mikelson, Fosnocht, and Sorensen voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. C. Warren Shultz, single family plat near Kurtz Lane. The Commission asked to reexamine this plat because of potential conflicts with access and adjacent landowners. Mr. Gray from R.C.M. , representing Warren Shultz, explained that a meeting with the neighborhood was scheduled for Monday, October 23. He also stated that the County Highway Department has approved an entry to Co. Rd. 4 as proposed. The land is currently zoned RI-22 and is platted in three lots. Mr. Fosnocht asked if all possible options had been explored, such as: selling to adjacent neighLors, working out a plan with vacant land to the east, and building only three homes rather than five as proposed. Mr. Gray said these had been investigated, but that after the Monday evening meeting with the neighborhood, a better definition of the possible solutions should be available. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES October 19, 1972 Page Three Action Taken: Sorensen moved, Fosnocht seconded to ask the Council to continue the public hearing and that the Planning Commission wants to withdraw its approval, not indicating approval or disapproval, but pending further investigation into adjacent uses and traffic problems in the area. Motion passed five yes, 0 no - unanimously. D. Meadow Woods Apartments, located in The Preserve, proposed by Preferred Developers Corporation. Mr. Bonner presented slides and graphic material illbstrating the site character, location, natural features, and building proposed. The proposed building is a three story apartment with underground parking and 180 units. The structure takes its shape, a triangle, from the ',non that it is built on overlooking Neill Lake. There are 180 interior parking spaces and 180 plus recreational vehicle storage outside. The units are "flats" or one level units of a rather standard design. The plaza court in the center of the building is felt to be highly desirable and connects to an indoor pool/party area overlooking the lake. Mr. Carter asked each Commission member their opinion of the building, which is between 850-900 feet long. The comments were rather negative, dealing with the intense site usage for parking/building, the outward orientation of some units over parking areas, the distance the parking lot is from the structure, the massiveness of the building, the standard double loaded corridors at 300 feet in length were not the best, park of only 2-to-1 ratio, and the question of what the developer has built, based upon their previous project, The Ridgewood condominiums inThe Preserve. The negative reaction suggested to Mr. Carter that the project should be reworked and brought back to the Commission in a few weeks. Meeting adjourned at 11:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Wayne Brown, Secretary - by RP. p.

In reviewing the Edenvale 5th Addition plat which has been presented to the Village for approval and considering your comments regarding the proposed park dedication we will commit to placing an item in the protective covenants which will prohibit the construction of any building or fence of any kind other than natural plantings from being constructed upon this slope. This restriction will extend from the east edge of the sewer easement, which is the proposed park boundary line up to the top of the slope and into the brush line at the top of the slope approximately 5 feet. We feel, that the park pedestrian corridor which varies from approximately 62 to 105 foot in width adjacent to thin subdivision has a very logical 1 Inn v 1111 Ht.. end i pane a Ilion 0,101 lug motor e•tinontoul mid I hit' log1.0.1.8130 to vet y I nn Iilitth I a ticon r... b walkway nyeaten.

LOCATION: Outlet W in Edenvale's 3rd Addition in Northwest Area. REQUEST: RN 6.5 Zoning for Single Family Detached Homes and Preliminary Plat Approval. REFER TO: Plat Sheet and September 5 Housing Commission Minutes. Park and Recreation Commission Minutes. DATE: 4 September 15, 1972 THROUGH: tekRobert P. Heinrich, Village Manager FROM: Dick Putnam, Plannerf.f BACKGROUND.: The Edenvale Concept Plan indicates this site as a low density multiple at 6.1 units per acre. When the August, 1972 Plan revision was submitted, Edenvale indicated that they were considering single family detached for the site due to the steep terrain, heavy woods and high amenities. At the submission of the revised Concept Plan the Planning and Park & Recreation Commissions indicated a concern about the narrow public right-of-way along Purgatory Creek adja- cent to outlots J,W. The approval of the Concept Plan was given with the understanding that the exact right-of-way along the Creek would be field staked and determined at the time of development platting. SITE ANALYSIS: The site is a high, heavily wooded knoll overlooking Purga- tory Creek. Through the middle of the site is a 12" water- main that will be the location of the street. The sewer interceptor easement borders the site on the west. The easement continues about half way up the cleared slope over* loeking Purgatory Creek. The tree line roughly corresponds to where the slope Increases in pitch. The tree line is about 50-25 feet from the sewer easement. The site offers excellent views out over the creek flood plain, while on the interior lots a very closed forest at- mosphere distinguishes the building site. The proposed single family lots will be an excellent land use for this beautiful area. - 2 - SITE PLAN: The proposed plan has lots that vary from 11,000 to 22,000 square feet providing excellent wooded building sites. The lots Vary in character from flat, partial slopes to steep slopes over 12% along the Creek. The lots make good use of this varied tarrain to accomodate different house styles; walkout, rambler and split entry. Outlots A and B,adjacent to Edenvale 81vd.,are used as a permanent buffer between the interior lots and the street. These outlots may be used as play space or just as a visual buffer for the units and a pleasant view from Edenvale Blvd. for the passerby. RELATIONSHIP TO CREEK PARK LAND: The relationship between the public pathway strip along the creek and lots 9, 8, 7 and 6 must be resolved prior to plat approval. The easterly boundary of the public park is suggested to be the sewer easements easterly boundary by Eden Land Corporation. The remained slope is proposed to be private lot space. In reviewing the Concept Plan, the Park/Recreation Camdssion visited this area to consider the boundary for the park corridor. They recommended that the tree line be used as the boundary between the lots and parkway. By using a natural edge, the tree line, they felt that the conflicts between public use and private homes would be minimized. As important, was the feeling that the sewer easement was an arbitrary break in private/ public use and that the tree edge was a physically more logical division point. Marty Jesson and I have visited the site numerous times and agree with the Park and Recreation Commissions recommendation as to location at easterly parkway boundary. We believe that if a well designed man made barrier, low fence, hedge or stone wall for example, was used to separate the private yards from public space that Edenvales proposal could be workable. It is our feeling that the man made barrier would be more costly, less effective, and would reduce the affect of the Parkway, but could separate the uses. GENERAL COMMENTS: The plat is an excellent single family environment for upper Income families. The type housing will contribute to the diversity of people within Edenvale and will be very compati- ble with the homes in Hill Crests Court across the Creek. If the parkway easement can be resolved with a proper division point, it is my opinion that the Edenvale 6th Ad- dition will be an excellent home site. RECOMENDATIONS: 1. Recommend that approximately the edge at the tree line be the westerly lot line for lots 9, Ile, 7 and 6, and the remaining land to Purgatory Creek be dedicated to the park system. -3- 2. To provide access to the parkway system, a walkway be installed on either the sanitary sewer or water easement fran the cul-de-sac street to the creek parkway. The connection would be a quasi-public easement for those in the subdivision. 3. Recommend rezoning of outlot W at Edenvale's 3rd Addition to RM 6.5 to be developed as single family detached home sites in conformance with the plat, Edenvale 5th Addition. 4. Approval at the preliminary plat for Edenvale 5th Addition as amended by the staff report. September 19, 1972 Planning Commission Action C. Edavale 5th Addition, simile family plat located along Edenvale Blvd. Mscussion lin—regarding narrow public rinht-of-way along Purga- tory Creek adjacent to Outlots J & N. Marty Jesscn, Parks and Recreation Director, feels that a natural or perhaps man-made barrier Ivould be the best idea to separate public from private land because a scenic easement leaves too much open to question. Don Peterson stated that this walkway is only a connection between the North Park and the South Park and is only an area to walk in to net to a school park area of 35 acres. lie said the lots are large, 17,000 to 21,000 sq. ft. and if he has to give more to park land the value of the lots will diminish. Both Jessen and Putnam suggested that the tree line be the park/private boundary rather than the edge of the sewer easement. Jessen said the Park/Recreation Commission feels the trees should be the boundary. Action Taken: riFiron was made by Don Sorensen and seconded by Fosnocht that: 1. To provide access to the parkway system, a walkway he installed on either the sanitary sewer or water easement from the cul-de-sac street to the creek parkway. The connection would he a quasi-public easement for those in the subdivision. (Wayne Crown requested that Peterson write in unething to make sure that people would not be prosecuted for crossing over onto private land. Peterson agreed to include this.) 2. Recommend rezoning of Outlot I at Cdenvale's 3rd Addition to RM 6.5 to he developed as single family detached hose sites in conformance with the plat, Edefivale 5th Addition. 3. Approval of the preliminary plat for Edenvale 5th Addition. All in favor - Motion carried. On September 25, 1972 the Eden Prairie Park and Recreation Commission voted unanimously to strongly urge that the Park boundary along Purgatory Creek and Evenvale's 5th Addition be expanded to the natural boundary represented by the present tree line and that every effort be made to retain the natural character of the creekway by limiting the ntaber of trees removed in the development process. The reason for this recomendation is as follows: 1. The change from multiple to single family dwellings. 2. A natural physical line will not be as arbitrary. 3. To avoid incompatible uses such as garbage cans, dog houses, wood piles and fences! 4. To retain the aesthetic value and visual impact of the area. 5. Larger areas allow for better park planning. DATE: PROJECT: APPLICANT: LOCATION: REQUEST: REFER TO: THRU: FROM: PLANNING REPORT September 15, 1972 Two acre subdivision proposal adjacent to Paradise Valley Addri. Warren Shultz East of Co. Rd. #4 between Kurtz Lane and Park Terrace Drive Rezoning to R1 13.5 and preliminary plat approval Preliminary plat submitted Robert P. Heinrich, Manager Dick Putnam, Planner BACKGROUND: The parcel of land was platted into two lots of about an acre each without access from a street. Along the south edge of the parcel was a 30 foot outlot conceived as 1/2 a road right-of-way. Mr. Shultz asked the Village staff if houses might be built on the property,if a private road was installed with sewer and water. We suggested that he submit a preliminary plat for the property to the Planning Commission and Council. SITE PLAN: Five lots from 14,500 sq. ft. to 20,000 sq. ft. are proposed with access from Co. Rd #4 by a private street of 24 feet within a 30 foot right-of- way. The lots slope from a high, north side with a 12 to 20 foot drop to the south along the proposed street. The homes along Kurtz Lane will be higher than the proposed homes, while those in Paradise Valley are lower. The lots are about 148 feet deep with varying widths. Critiral to success of the proposal is the landscaping plan along the southerly side of the new road. The homes in Paradise Valley should be provided with an attractive screen from the new street. Also the hedge or dense bushes will provide a screen from the homes in Paradise Valley backyards for the new hones. Therefore, dense, sufficiently high bushes should be planted at the developers expense. Also since the distance is over 300 feet some higher trees should be planted to vary the height of the vegetation screen. Also critical is the approval of the entrance onto Co. Rd #4 by the • Hennepin County Highway Department. Before final approval is given their approval must be given and an entrance permit assured. GENERAL COMMENT: The somewhat irregular nature of this samll subdivision makes the normal planning principals not completely appropriate. The concern in this proposal is the odd shape and location almost totally land-locked by development surrounding. The options for the owner of the land were to sell it to the adjacent property owners, develop lots as proposed, or hold the land with no use. The development option was chosen and the plan proposed responds to the demands of the site and adjacent properties at well as possible. Planning Report-Warren Shultz Page 2 RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Require a detailed planting plan for the southerly property line at sufficient height and density to screen the southerly homes view north. 2. Recommend rezoning of the land to R1 1'3.5 in conformance with the plan submitted. 3. Approve the preliminary plat as submitted for single home sites. 4. Ask that the developer meet with the homes adjacent to this project to explain his proposal. The meeting should be prior to the Council Public Hearing. 5. The street proposed should be built to Village standards and be a public street with sufficient right-of-way - minimum of 44 feet.

STAFF PLANNING REPQRT =NT: Townhouse/patio homes APPLICANT: Hirsch Development Corporation n 0 LOCATION: Lots 6 and 7 in The Preserve Phase I REQUEST: Development Stage Approval and Preliminary Plat on Phase I Area of 7 Acres, and Rezoning on the Entire 25 Acre Par c e l . REFER TO: Booklet submitted by Hirsch Development Corp . , Sept. 2 9 , 1 9 7 2 . October 12, 1972 (continued from 9/29/12) THROUGH: R. P. Heinrich, Village Manager FROM: Dick Putnam, Village Planner BACIPROUND: The Planning Commission visited the site in The P r e s e r v e in August. The project was going to be presented in Augus t , b u t due to delays and negotiation of purchase agreements, t h e development is just now before the Village. The Village Staff has worked with Mr. Ripple and Mr. Hirsch during prelim i n a r y stages to produce what began with 250 units, then 234, then 195, and now the plan with 180 units. A goal of Mr. Hirsch and The Preserve is to provide model units yet this year. The location as you enter The Preserve is important for The Preserve as an "image" building. To stream- line the Village process, the preliminary plat phase on only the first phase has been included in the rezoning reques t , j u s t as with the Greenward Townhouses. Combining these steps on the first phase area will enable Mr. Hirsch to build m o d e l s this year if the plan is approved. ClIARA_CTIPISTICS OF MYINNQIISEINIIROMM: Research has been done on what makes successful residen t i a l environments, and in the townhouse densities there are s o m e good correlations between site planning and satisfactio n l e v e l . The configuration of the units as they relate to open spac e s , streets, and other units does influence the satisfaction o f t h e residents. For example, the most desirable environment w a s the "multiple structure, enclose" which utilized cul-de-s a c Staff Report -2- October 12, 1972 roads with units facing onto common areas. Other plans might have units in a linear pattern along through streets. The everyday things that contribute to like or dislike of a neighbor- hood such as noise, hearing neighbors, privacy of yards, adequate outdoor space, places for kids to play, and proportion of neighbors known by name are partly functions of site planning. Residents at townhouses prefer their life style in a ratio of 2 to 1 over single family or apartments. Important features of the neighborhood are low density, high level of maintenance, privacy, and good kid environment. Another interesting feature is the relation of percentage versus number of neighbors known. The single family areas have the highest percentage of neighbors known compared to townhouses or apartments. The townhouse residents know many more neighbors, expecially in developments where common spaces are well planned and used. Since knowing neighbors is an important part of whether a neighborhood is "friendly", which greatly influences overall satifsaction, the townhouse environment can achieve comparable "neighborhood feelings" just as normal low density single family areas. $1TE FEATURES; The analysis of the natural features in Mr. Ripple's brochure is excellent and does not need further comment. I might point out that the Highpoint single family plat to the north is 30-40 feet higher than Neill Lake Road. Just as the eastern hillside units look over the units near the golf course, the Highpoint units have the same relationship. SITE ELAN ANALYSIS: Auto Circulation: The plan utilizes small, private cut-de-sace with approximately 30 units served from Neill Lake Road. The exception is the large cluster on the hill to the east where 56 units use a 1500' long cul-de-sac with access onto Franlo Road. The clustered plan with approximately 30 units pre cul-de-sac is excellent, in that access is to a collector street, and the number of trips on each cul-de-sac is low. The street pattern proposed best uses the land forms and takes advantage of the unit types auto circulation needs. Staff Report -3- October 12, 1372 The long cul-de-sac on the hill creates problems because of its length and the intersection with Franlo Road. The cul-de-sac climbs a 50 hill over its length and has segments at 6-7% slopes combined with small radius turns. The function of the drive is to act as a driveway for small numbers of units, hence garages front directly onto the street. Over the 1,500' traffic volume increases to a level similar to residential streets. Since the design of the road is not that of a normal residential street, problems develop. The requirements of emergency vehicle access are difficult to meet with the long street plan. The intent of the private, low traffic neighborhood cluster is greatly reduced in the 56 unit cul-de-sac. Access to Franlo Road is 65-100' from its intersection with the Parkway. The distance required by the Village is 150 -200' and in this instance, considering the streets functions, sight distance, and curve, a 200-300' spacing would be desirable. The alternatives to the proposed hillside cul-de-sac arrangemenI involve working with the Olympic Hills owners on a joint public street to serve both projects. This option is difficult because of varied schedules and site planning constraints (parcel size and topography). Another alternate is to connect the cul-de-sac to the Parkway between Neill Lake Road and Franlo. This would require a curb-cut for the center island and would not be workable in the distances available. Also the design standards for that street would not allow that type access. To resolve the problem, a crossing of the public pathway was felt to be the only reasonable solution. We inventigatad the possible use of an underpass, but grades and traffic volume indicated that it was not feasible. The most reasonable approach seemed to be crossing the pathway at grade with numerous devices used to stop the limited auto traffic and alert the pedestrians and bicyclists to the crossing. The site plan can be altered to accommodate one cross street or two crossings From a traffic point of view, the two crossings would be slightly better, because there would be less traffic on each street. The one crossing alternative would have a "Y" and would condense 60 unit's trips on one street. The total trips generate( is not unworkable in either scheme and there may be other reasons for selection of one vs. the other. Staff Report -4- October 12, 1972 Parking: Parking provided is sufficient for the townhouse/patio home units with 3.3 spaces/unit. The enclosed parking is 1.5 per unit, which is ample. A unique approach to recreational vehicle storage is the enclosed garages that function as walls for play areas. The steep topography requires retaining walls and the R.V. S. buildings function as ways of changing grades up to 8 or 9 feet. The entrances to these buildings are used for extra outdoor parking spaces. The function of the R.V.S. areas is not completely known, but the concept we are operating under today is that medium and long term storage would be when vehicles would be in the areas. For example, a seasonal vehicle (snowmobile) would be stored there during the off-season. Also, during the normal use season, it would be stored in the R. V.S. areas if it would be enclosed. The overnight parking may be inside private garages or in the case of a larger vehicle, in front of the unit. Today we feel that if these areas are provided, that residents will use them. We do not have any real experience on which to base our opinion; therefore, this is an intuitive Judgment. Unit orientation/Vistas: Mixing unit types provides the flexibility to use the best suited structure for the land form and views on this varied site. The hillside are step-up (down) townhouse units that have one prime orientation toward the golf course. Other townhouses use the grade changes or prime views to good advantage. The patio homes are used primarily to form enclosed court areas. The closed view of most of these units offers greater privacy and more personal outdoor space, while grouping around a common court. All the units orient away from the parking and street areas and front onto green space of some kind. Impact on Golf Course and Current Olympic Hills Proposal: The public pathway along the Olympic Hills Golf Course should not create conflict if the choice of materials used for separation is well suited. The public and Hirsch residents will not be able to walk on the fairways for obvious reasons. The use of natural barriers such as ponds and water channels combined with low bushes would provide the boundary line. The installation of Staff Report -5- October 12, 1972 fencing by either owner or the Village would not be a good solu- tion. The course will be bordered in many places by residential units and the need to separate the units from the golf course should be done through creative site planning and adequate setbacks from the fairways and greens. Hirsch's project in The Preserve borders Olympic Hills townhous proposal along Franlo Road. The Staff has asked the owners to coordinate plans, particularly regarding road systems. The different expectations as to development timing, site plan layout, and personal philosophy have ruled out a joint road system. The changes in the road system in the Hirsch plan will resolve conflicts with Olympic Hills plan by eliminating access to Franlo Road. The land uses in both proposals are similar and will work well together. The Etaff would encourage cooperation in the future to allow the pathway systems to connect the Village system. Recreation Facilities: To complement those facilities provided by The Preserve, Hirsch will be investing considerable effort and money into 5 recrea- tional areas along with a walkway system. Mr. Ripple has designed multi-use areas that will provide for all age residents. The 5 nodes provide small children play areas in close proximity to their house along with older children and adult game spaces. Mixing the ages within these activity nodes should provide spaces that all in the family can use yet not conflict. The major recreation area will include a pool-patio area, larger tot lot, and substantial open game space. The open space will be slightly smaller than a football field with larger trees planted (3" B.13. or 12-15' high) surrounding this space. A recent addition to the recreation system is the "public plaza'' where the site street will cross the public path. Mr. Hirsch has agreed to develop this space to insure that people and cars will not conflict. As a sales tool, this plaza will be a focus of the Phase I models and will greatly add to his amenities. The Hirsch Corporation will install a 4' asphalt walkway in phases on the public path right of way dedicated to the Village. The Village, at a later date, will install any additional paved surface required. This arrangement is of great benefit to the Village and the developer. It is my opinion that the quality and amount of recreation space provided is excellent and is a very positive feature of Mr. Hirsch's project. Also, the joint development of the Village pathway system is practical from the short-range project resident use and the long-term public trail use. The detailed design of the public trail as it winds through the developed area Staff Report -6- October 12, 1972 will offer an "urban character" or plaza/mall type feeling rather than the natural Anderson Lakes Park across the Parkway or the wilderness feeling in Neill Lake's marsh. The diversity of experience along the public trail is desirable and necessary for a system that runs throughout the Village. )3UILDING ANALYSIS: Unit Type. Character: The Hirsch development will offer a variety of units best suited to the young family or "empty nesters". As pointed out in the booklet, there is flexibility in the project to provide options of from 1 - 3 bedrooms in either townhouse or 'quad"-patio home structures. The "quad ' proposal is somewhat unique since all entrances are toward the ends or garage side. The normal "quad" requires walks around the building to serve the back side unit. The building proposed has individual entrances and the rear unit entry is in front. This enables the back side of the units to be open to the common space while providing easier access from garage to unit. The exterior of the ''quad" will have a contemporary character by using abrupt roof plains and strong massing of exterior elements. The variety of roof elevations combined with the articulated (in and out) movement of walls will provide an interesting, certainly not boring, appearance. Also, by com- bining different type units in a building, you will get a variety from quad to quad. The sketches indicate a natural, rough cedar shingle siding that will use earth hues for the color. My personal opinion is that this should be a very attractive combi- nation of structure type and exterior finish. The townhouses will use much the same exterior treatment with a different structural type. The size of the buildings of up to 9 units will require more care to make sure that the facade is staggered to eliminate a massive or monotonous appearance. The varied size (22-2 8' width) with the different unit plans is desirable. The proposed units should be very appropriate on this site. Neighborhood Clusters: Hirsch Corporation's proposed 2$ acre development makes a strong attempt to encourage social contact of the residents. By providing meaningful, well-located common facilities that serve small numbers of units, I feel that the "neighboring feeling" will be increased. The overlapping of each unit's contact with other homes is provided by the "auto court" that Staff Report -7- October 12, 1972 serves a cluster and the "green space court" which is common to a different set of units. The common pool-patio area will also encourage social contacts and the normal children movement from play space to play space will produce new acquaintances. The small scale neighborhoods within the project will enable a good family environment to develop. SUMMARY: A great deal of negotiation has gone into the Hirsch Development Corporation project as presented in the booklet. The change in the road system has dictated additional changes. Throughout the project's design, an improved product has emerged after each change with the result being a very good family environment. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Recommend that the "plaza' area at the street pathway crossing be constructed by the developer during the first phase con- struction when the roads are installed. 2. Endorse the open space and recreation facilities included in the Hirsch Development Corporation in The Preserve. 3. Recommend rezoning of the 25 acre site in The Preserve to RM 2.5 according to the revised plan submitted for 180 units. 9. Recommend to the Council approval of the preliminary plat for the model and phase one area of 4.5 acres. MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PLANNING COMMISSION Tuesday, August 15, 1972 7:30 P.M., Village Hall INVOCATION - PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE - ROLL CALL Members present were: Chairman Norma Schee, Chairman Pro-lem Herb Fosnocht, Secretary Wayne Brown, Roger Boerger, Ralph Nesbitt, Don Sorenson, Patrick Casey. Also present were: Dick Putnam, Planner. I. , TOUR OF FOGELSIINZHIIICH TOWNLIOUSE SITE AND JONATHAN HOUSTZ—CORPORATION TOWNHOUSE SITE IN THE PRESERVE BEGAN AT 6:30 P.M AT THE VILLAGE HALL. Schee, Brown, Boerger, Sorenson, Casey and Putnam attended the tour. Commission members visited the proposed twenty-five acre site for the Fogelson/Hirsch townhouses in the first phase of the Preserve adjacent to Neil Lake just south of Preferred Developers on North Olympic Hills Golf Course. The extreme rolling terrain in the great vistas over the golf course in Neil Lake were noted by all members of the Commission. Second site visited was the five acre parcel on the west edge of the Preserve adjacent to the Village Center just north of Neil Lake and south of the parkway. This is the site for the Jonathan Housing Corporation proposal for thirty townhouse units. It was noted that the site was flat with an oak tree line on the eastern edge and the sewer easement which runs through the site on the eastern or western side. Those two factors can strain the development into that area approximately two hundred to two hundred and fifty feet in width. The Commission observed the marshy land to the west which will remain open, and the close proximity to Neil Lake on the south which has large pedestrian open spaces there. The Commission then moved to Jonathan, the new town in Chaska, to take a tour of the proposed units by the Jonathan Housing Corporation. The units were under construction and we observed the two bedroom units which are located on the ends of the four unit buildings and the three bedroom units in the middle. The units are planned in such a fashion that one side would be the garage entry side. Two bedroom units would have one car garages and the three bedroom units would have two car garages. The living areas all front to one side of the unit and include small nation areas with excellent views from that side. The three bedroom unit has three bedrooms upstairs and a bath and one half, two story vaulted living room space and dining room space, kitchen, and bath downstairs. The two bedroom unit has a great flexibility in that it has a large living, dining area that opens to the front side of the units and upstairs is an enlargement Specs PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES October 3, 1972 Page Four In summary, it would seem to be a fair statement to say that the Commission was in agreement with the basic idea of 13,500 sq.ft. single family detached homes in this area, but were not sure at this point on several unresolved matters, including the Guide Plan and also the exact plan as submitted. Action Taken: Boerger moved and Schee seconded to refer the proposal to the Park & Recreation Commission, the Human Rights Commission, and to the Staff for a sector planning study similar to that of Red Rock, which would deal with the major circulation elements in the area and the surrounding land use of that area. Motion carried. C. Hirsch Development Corporation, townhouses and patio homes located north of Olympic Hills Golf Course in The Preserve. Request rezoning and first stage preliminary plat approval. Don Ripple, site planner on the project, presented the concept for a mix of townhouses and patio homes on this 25 acre site. He mentioned that they had worked with numerous proposals with the Staff, and the proposal now of 180 units was considerably reduced from the 250 units originally considered. The extreme slopes and the desired open space within the project were the primary reasons for the changes. Mr. Ripple outlined the concept of small clusters of approximately 30 units each of patio homes or townhouses, and the grouped open spaces with five separate play-intensive use areas. He noted the pedestrian easement that is a major public pathway from Anderson Lakes to Neill Lake and Purgatory Creek that runs through the project. The Park & Recreation Commission has reviewed this proposal particularly as it deals with the handling of the public pathways through the project and feels that it is a workable solution. Mr. Ripple pointed out that the cul-de-sac that begins on the high part of the hill next to the East/West Parkway has approximately 60 units and is in excess of 1,000 feet long. In working with the Staff, it was determined that this would be a very difficult area to develop since access to West 62nd Street would be less than desirable at the location proposed and that the length and number of units on that private cul-de-sac are excessive. At this point, many options were investigated and two were determined to be the best to follow, both of which involve crossing the pathway to gain access to the uphill units by way of Neill Lake Road. Dick Anderson of the Park & Recreation Commission briefly reviewed this solution and generally agreed that it could be handled if it is worked out with great care. Thirty to sixty units of traffic crossing the pathway by the private cul-de-sac streets involves having either one or two private streets that would cross the public pathway at grade. Mr. Ripple pointed out that the key here is the way the traffic is slowed down to a stop on crossing those streets with bumps or cuts in the pavement, signs, and also how the pedestrian movement was stopped or slowed down at this point. Also, the provision of some amenities on this pathway - creating a plaza for example, kiosks, sitting areas, mailbox, service telephone, etc. - would be most appropriate in this area and necessary items on a public pathway. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES October 3, 1972 Page Five The use of ballards and plantings to slow the traffic, particularly bicycle traffic on the public pathway, so that it would not conflict with the automobile would seem to be one solution. The question of one or two driveways across this will be brought to the Park & Recreation Commission for their input and likewise, the input of the Planning Commission. The developer, Mr. Hirsch, is willing to develop either proposal. This plaza development would be at Mr. Hirsch's expense and would benefit his project and would also include as the project develops, the building in phases of a 4 ft. asphalt pathway throughout the entire project on the Village right of way that would be dedicated to the public. Action Taken: Fosnocht moved and Schee seconded to refer to Staff for a report and to set a public hearing date for October 24, 1972. Motion carried. D. Preferred Developers Corporation, Meadow Wood's 180 unit rental apartment project located in The Preserve west of the proposed Community Center. Mr. Bill Bonner from The Preserve pointed out the location of the project on a high, triangular knoll overlooking the Community Center. Mr. Bonner summarized the building as being a double-loaded corridor, three story with underground parking, rental apartment building with apartments renting from $185 to $225 for a 2 bedroom unit. An interior pool and court area with recreation room, sauna, etc. would be provided with deck space overlooking the lake. Also a developed interior court of the building would be a plus feature of this project. Open field recreationsspace would be provided in the meadow just south of the East/West Parkway and also in the areas around Neill Lake. The Planner asked why, since the density on this project is close to 18 units per acre and is the same type building and structure as, for instance, the Shadow Green project which has a density of approximately 15 units per acre, the extra density in this case should be provided in that building type. Perhaps the inclusion of extra interior parking spaces to free up more of the site might be a reason for the increased density or extra added amenities. He asked that the developers address themselves to this question of a bonus arrangement as the densities increase in apartment projects. pction Taken: Brown moved and Schee seconded to refer to Staff for a report and recommenda- tion and to set public hearing for October 29, 1972. Motion carried. E. Warren Shultz, single family plat located on Co. Rd. 4 between Kurtz Lane and Park Terrace Drive.

REQUEST: Concept Plan Approval of the 3 Sites, Rezoning to RM 2.5 and Neighborhood Conmercial. REFER TO: Planning Connission Minutes September 5, 1972 Developers Booklet Shadow Green. DATE: September 15, 1972 THROUGH: Robert P. Heinrich, Village Manager FROM: Dick Putnam, Planner BACKGROUND: The Mark Z. Jones development team first proposed a rental apartment project in The Preserve "The Mooring". The project has been replanned because of the conflicting park use under the Anderson Lakes Regional Parks Grant. The timing of that was concie/ed to have units available in 1972 or early 1973. The replanning has delayed the project in The Preserve until 1973. Shadow Green is attempting to provide units by early 1973 in Edenvale. Shadow Green in Edenvale uses very similar building types, as the Moorings proposed, the sites physical features are somewhat similar, rolling terrain, many large trees, and excellent vistas characterize both sites. BUILDING TYPES: North Site; The buildingsproposed are wood frame, 3 story with basement underground parking. Each building is served by elevators that feed double load central corridors. Each structure has about 70 units of varied unit type. A unique feature is the two story townhouse apartment. These one and two bedroom split level units offer the renter the advantage of separate levels for sleeping and living. Balcony space is provided for each unit. South Site; the approach used in the south buildings is re- quired because of the steep slopes and mature trees. The unit s are thru-building, like a townhouse, with at least two sides exposed. Entry to the units is by a stair tower serving six units each with a separate entry. The uphill buildings are three storys of wood frame construction without underground parking. The units are of good size with balcony and excellent views over the golf course. Staff Planning Report September 15, 1972 Page Two On the south site the down hill units are of a similar style but have individual entries and are only two stor- ies tall. Access to these units is by passing under the up hill units and down the slope. The advantages of the units are the privacy, great views and space in each unit. CIRCULATION: Today and for the next 5-10 years the major mode of trans- portation will be the auto within the metro area. Eden Prairie being a three trier suburb on the 494 circumferen- cial route and the 212 diagonal route will most certainly depend upon the auto. The inner metro movements (Eden Prairie to Bloomington) will require the access to a car or a trip that is to a major activity center from a center, by some transit mode. What I am saying is that the majority of Eden Prairie residents will need an automobile. PARKING: The obvious fact just discussed decides many design para- meters that must be accomodate6 ony housing built in Eden Prairie. For example, in most single family areas, the homes have a two car garage, parking in the driveway for two to four cars plus additional spaces along the curb, totalling about eight spaces per unit. These spaces are not used most of the time but are paved narking areas none the less. The townhouse style projects today seem to be provid- ing two car garages, two spaces in front of the garage and guest spaces separate, totalling between three and five spaces per unit. The normal multiple apartment type develop. cent provides one space covered parking, one exterior park- ing space and a few extra quest spaces and recreational vehicle storage space. The total space is usually between two and three per unit. Therefore, depending upon the type of housing unit built, the parking spaces per unit may vary from eight to two per unit. Shadow Green pronoses about 2.25 parking spaces per unit or 875 spaces for 392 units. The Village requires a minimum of two spaces per unit and recreational vehicle storage space at a one to ten ratio, with the number of units. The method of providing these spaces in "I. Z. Jones proposal Is by under building parking for 232 cars and two story ramp parking for 187 under and 181 cars on the second level. The developers have made a strong statement to reduction of site space devoted to the autcmobile by the structured parking proposed. There seem to be five potential solutions to parking in medima density environments. Staff Planning Report September 15, 1972 Page Three 1. Separate parking structures such as "gang garages". 2. Parking within the building in normal one or two car garage fashion. 3. An underground parking level with elevator access to the units above. 4. Parking ramp structures that are free standing with at least two levels. 5. Have no enclosed parking required and all parking exterior. These approaches to auto storage have varied benefits and costs associated with each method. Another method would be for the Village to lessen the parking requirements to 1 or 1.5 space(s) per unit. Another suggestion would be to decrease the number of units in any medium or high density project, thereby reducing the number of spaces required. Examining the Shadow Green proposal, one must recognize the Innovative parking solutions proposed. Under building parking on the north site and landscaped surface spaces. The south site utilizes the second story ramp/garage structure with smaller surface parking areas. Of the available ways of stor- ing autos, it is my opinion that Mark Z. Jones Associates have provided workable and appropriate parking areas. INTERIOR STREET SYSTEM: Multiple housing developments have in the past been character- ized by the inability to clearly and esthetically direct the resident and visitor to his proper location. I am sure all of us have visited friends in large apartment projects and spend an hour looking for his building and unit. Shadow Green diminishes this problem by dividing the site into two separate and identifiable areas. The problem of finding a unit in the north area has been simplified since there are only three struc- tures, each visable upon entering the site. Also, since all traffic is funneled through one entry pointoell coordinated, graphic signs could easily direct people to their destination. Simple direct access to the underground parking garages by a one-way road is necessary to reduce the "thru-parking area movement" many apartment projects have. Shadow Green's north site separates the parking traffic function from the coming and going traffic by using a central road and perimeter build- ing access roads. Staff Planning Report September 15, 1972 Page Four The private internal street system of the north site has one access to the Edenvale Loop Road that runs north from Valley View. The traffic generation for the three apart- ment buildings would be about 1,400 trips per day3 a maximum of 200 peak hour trips. Edenvale Loop Street functioning as a collector street would have no problem accomodating these trips plus the development proposed north. Also, a great majority of the trips will be south to Valley View Road and will only require a right turn frcm the entry road. The addition of a divided entry to the north site would be both visually pleasing and would better define the turning movements. NORTH SITE CIRCULATION SYSTEM DETAILING: Success of the auto movement system can not be measured with numbers alone, but rather must be examined with the "design details" clearly in mind. For example, the entry road which runs straight between the parking areas for about 500 feet could ran a traffic movement point of view 3 be very ad- vantageous, (limited cross traffic, etc.). The site planner might look at that street and proclaim it a disaster because of the bad environment on either side and the ridgid straight alignment. Both views are valid and must be reflexed in the finished plan. Mr. Robin and Mr. Schwarz, in my opinion, have successfully balanced those design conditions. The straight street of adequate width will efficiently move the cars and the six foot high earth berms that are heavily plant. ed will provide excellent visual screening for the entering motorist and also the entire parking court environment with trees, ground cover and grade changes. Other detailed design elements are proposed on the north site to improve the relationship of auto to unit and resident. The change of grade between parking and unit floor elevation provides vertical separation so lights and views are not det. rimental to the unit. Where adequate grade separation can not be achieved, extensive plant material and other landscaping techniques will be used to screen the parking area. The provision orTanted, earth berms of 4 to 6 feet high within the parking area will produce physical and visual separations for the man walking in the area and the units over looking the parking. Significant tree plantings between rows of cars is proposed. This will require careful study to determine required unpaved surface needs, proper car barriers to protect the trees, etc., but will greatly influence the quality of the space. The most important element of the parking area when viewed fro the units facing on the court area will be large open area be. tween buildings. The faces of the buildings are over 400 feet apart or 1 -1/3 football fields. The proposal submitted details of Staff Planning Report September 15, 1972 Page Five the character of this large open space as an intensely used (parking), intensely landscaped, urban space. It is my opin- ion that the use and the treatment of this urban space is critical to the success of the north building site. I also believe that the development team has demonstrated their in- tent to create a quality housing environment. The design of the parking court and units reflect these concerns. THE SOUTH SITES CIRCULATION AND PARKING SYSTEM: Like the northern buildings, the south site has one entry point, the alignment with the Edenvale Loop Road is appro- priate from a traffic safety standpoint. The 180 units pro- posed will produce about 1,450 trips per day and about 150 peak hour trips. Again, the use of a divided entrance road is suggested, particularly since it has direct access to Valley View Road, a community collector street. The esthetic considera- tions of such an entry would enhance this intersection. The interior traffic movement is very easy to understand if well coordinated graphics are used to identify building Misters. Entering the site between the parking structures will provide an enclosed, heavily landscaped, low speed introduction to the project. Since the three building clusters are accessible by one road, left or right, identification of ones destination will be clear. The separate roads directly to each cluster will, with proper signing, efficiently and safely move residents and visitors. The detailing with landscaping, signing, parking structure facilities, and grade changes will be required on this site to provide a pleasant visual entrance experience. The plan pro- poses extensive natural vegetation being used with earth .berms frail 3 to 8 feet high to totally mask off views or to establish "softened" or translucent plant material screens. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS SOUTH SITE: There are some areas which I do not feel are most successfully handled because of high visability or close proximity of structures without proper buffers. 1. The eastern most parking ramp has a down slope to the pedestrian under pass and is approximately at grade to Valley View Road. Detailed ramp design ccebined with canopy trees would be one solution to this area. 2. The southern parking ramp is located very close to the three story units to the south. The distance varies from 15 to 20 feet from the bedroom and entry side of the units to the parking structure. This relationship without extensive "urban design' treatment would be Staff Planning Report September 15, 1972 Page Six Inappropriate, Plate II in the booklet indicates that the ground floor level of the 1st floor unit is about in the middle of the garage structure with steps up and down to the parking levels. The detailed design of this space is criti- cal since 12 units have their entries and bedrooms fronting on these areas. 3. The northern end of the central cluster of buildings has its primary exposure to the end of the western building cluster. The distance between structures is about 55 feet and a 4 foot difference in first floor elevations. The end three units are dramatically affected by the relationship of the two buildings. The realignment of the units or elimination of the three end units would seen to be the logical solutions. 4. The area that forms a right angle in each building cluster is attached to each wing of buildings. It might be visually ad- vantageous to open or separate the buildings in this area. The middle cluster of units could best make use of this to create views through the woods over the golf course from the entry cul-de-sac. 5. The parking areas in auto court #2 has parking facing the entrance to the units and a green island in the center of the drive. The western parking now might be moved to the center as part of the island to separate the parked cars further from the units. The grades are not conducive to parking cars facing the units in that case. These changes, if possible, would improve the "entrance feeling" for those units. Like- wise, the parking off the central cul-de-sac next to the recreation building has parking fronting at the back of the same units. That parkway could be moved to the otherside, next to the parking ramp, again improving those units exposure. PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT - SOUTH SITE: The plan utilizes the "through building unit" to give each unit a golf course orientation. The balcony and patios front out in that direction or in the cluster near the convenience center along the parkway. Along Valley View Road is the Edenvale Pedestrian pathway with an underpass near the entrance to the south site. This pathway does not provide any interior walkway circulation for the units on the south site. The most obvious characteristic of the walkways in the south site are the auto to unit movement patterns. The walks connect parking areas or ramps to the entrance to each unit. The recreational building has a walk to the park- ing/cul-de-sac in the center of the project but no walkway con- nection to any units. Staff Planning Report September 15, 1972 Page Seven Perhaps the intent is to have pedestrian movement to d i f f e r e n t building clusters by auto or by walking on the drivew a y s o r walks in front of the units. An alternate route would b e o n the grass without walks at all, but this creates probl e m s d u e to adverse climatic conditions. Since there are 180 dwelling units on the south site , a c o n - venience shopping center adjacent and units planned i n a " l i n - ear form* with the common recreational area located i n t h e central area, my suggestion is that a small scale path w a y s y s t e m be designed to most efficiently and esthhticalTy conn d t u n s s to the community and project facilities, The orientat i o n o f the walkway to the golf course would seem appropriate b e c a u s e of the interesting views rather than to auto court. S k i l l f u l design of a pathway system could link units to each ot h e r a n d to cannon facilities which would encourage greater so c i a l c o n t a c t between the residents. Tying into the Edenvale trail s y s t e m would be advantageous for similar reasons. PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT - NORTH SITE: The north site has Edenvales trail system on two sides ; t h e easterly loop street and along Valley View Road. The t h r e e large buildings provide more concentrated building e n t r i e s than the south site, thereby defining "activity node s " . T h e 212 units share a recreation complex located next to th e d r i v i n g range and easily accessible by car from the main entry d r i v e . As in the southsite the buildings are not connected:by p e d e s - trian paths only by auto routes. The recreation cent e r i s n o t tied to the separate buildings with walkways nor to t h e " a c t i v i t y nodes" close to the buildings. It would seen appropr i a t e i n a low density apartment project of 14 ft per acre that a w e l l planned walkway system should be of high priority. T h e o r i e n t a - tion of the units to the golf course and the major h i l l t h a t protrudes into the course offers excellent passive adu l t r e c r e a - tion that could be used throughout the year. The co n n e c t i o n o f the unique areas planned on the site to the units is i m p o r t a n t in making the project a high quality residential envir o r m e n t . RECREATION SPACES - NORTH/SOUTH SITES: The importance of recreation space in low density apar t m e n t p r o j e c t s cannot be under emphasized. The experience of other ne w c o m m u n i t i e s has been that greater care and developnent must be use d w h e n o p e n space is provided in apartment density environments . T h e d e f i n i - tion of use for each area as well as intensive design must be used in shaping the space. • Staff Planning Report September 15, 1972 Page Eight Mark Z. Jones has had experience in recreation areas in similar projects, for example, the Westside Village in Hopkins uses an extensive, childrens play structure adjacent to the adults patio, swimming pool area. The space is highly developed for specific ages and uses. The same "micro-design" of the small and large recreation areas within the Shadow Green development is important in maximizing the residents use of the facilities. The pool/recreation building areas should include activities for all age groups. Small children play areas close to where a mother might swim or talk to others would be an appropriate relationship of facilities. Sitting areas overlooking the tennis or golf greens for the older residents that enjoy a leisurely walk and interesting views should be developed on both sites. At this stage of design only the uses proposed at each location can be expected from the developer. If the project is approved the detailed design of these areas would be completed and reviewed by the staff prior to issuance of a building permit. The Village will be requiring appropriate, and in some uses, extensive recreational space development before building permit approval is given. For example, the pool will require a means of closing it off from small children in off hours. Many projects have used a chain link fence, rather unattractive most people would say. The Village would expect creative landscape design to accom- plish the task, but in a more pleasing manner. As a general statement, the recreational opportunities available to the Shadow Green resident are far superior to those available in normal residential areas. Edenvales club house facilities, golf course, pathways, driving range and the Village Purgatory Parkway systems are only a few minutes walk. The project facil- ities discussed in the brochure are more than adequate. The challenge will be to skillfully connect and intergrate those recreational opportunities into the residential envirornent. SUMMARY: The detailed examination of Shadow Green can only leave one with a favorable opinion of the project. The "gross stage" of development required for rezoning normally does not fully indicate the intent of the developer. TM —proposal for 350 units reduces the "gross stage" to more understandable de- tail by utilizing varied building styles, unique palling struc- tures, generally well conceived recreational, pedestrian systems, and most notably an excellent natural environsent. Staff i'lanning Report September 15, 1972 Page Nine A personal basis that I would suggest is that a greater economic diVTty be provided within the project. This can be achieved to a limited degree without goverment subsidy by using varied unit types and square footage apartment sizes. The Village has encouraged Edenvale to provide varied housing opportunities within its total P.U.D., Shadow Green does pro- vide the semi-luxury to luxury type project. I would endorse the proposed project as an excellent low density apartment developnent with the modifications and additions listed under recomnendations. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Strong endorse and encourage the use of landscaped, ramped parking structures and under-building parking proposed in the Shadow Green project as an excellent method of handling park- ing in a medium density residential enviroment. 2. Recommend that a divided entrance road with landscaped center Island be added to the north and south site where the undivided road is proposed. 3. Signing, graphics, detailed building design, exterior materials should be reviewed jointly by the architect/site planner and the Village Staff prior to construction to insure that details are implemented as planned. 4. Recommend that detailed design be submitted on the areas ex- plained on pages 5 and 6, items 1-5, under "Site Plan Analysis South Site to resolve the questionable relationships prior to final Council action. 5. Recommend that a small scale pathway system be designed to ef- ficiently and esthetically connect the units in the north and south sites to community and project facilities. 6. Recommend the detailed design be approved by the Village Staff prior to any construction of the recreation system and facilities proposed in the project. 7. Recommend development stage approval of the Shadow Green low median density rental apartment project in Edenvale. 8. Rezone the acre site to RM 2.5 in conference with the staff recarmendation in the planning report of September 15, 1972, and the brochure on Shadow Green submitted by Mark Z. Jones and Associates. Staft Planning Report September 15, 1972 Page Ten EVALUATION OF CONVENIENCE CENTER USES: Mark Z. Jones and Associates proposed an auto, quick service function for the center. The service station will be of a neighborhood character since its trade area will he primary local traffic. Mitchell/Baker Road is a thru Village County Road while Valley View Road is a convnunity collector to the Major Center. The access to the center will be limited since no median cuts will be allowed on Mitchell with only one on Valley View. The quick in/out uses are most appropriate at this location at the entry point to Edenvale and Forest Hills. The small grocery store, dry cleaners, and barber shop pro- posed are these uses. The basic use of the corner as a commercial site is an obvious choice due to its high exposure to two canmunity streets. The south eastern quadrant of the intersection will have a community commercial shopping center of 160,000 sq. ft. The other corners will complement that center by supplying non-commercial uses, church and housing. Proper design should produce a highly at- tractive and functional community service area. CIRCULATION: The plan has two basic movement systems; one for the service station and the second for the convenience stores. By using signs and pavement texture, etc., the traffic pattern could be easily explained to the entering driver. Separating the gas station, short stay traffic from the shopping trip is advantageous because it illuminates parking and thru movement traffic while minimizing pedestrian auto conflicts. The three entries onto the streets seem workable with only one median cut at Valley View. The Highway Department should review the entrances in detail, but no conflitts are apparent. PARKING: There are 50 parking spaces provided on the site, these spaces are divided into small lots. The breaking up of parking is ad- vantageous both visually and functionally. Smaller landscaped parking areas are more easily landscaped than large parking areas while also providing separate spaces for employees and cars being serviced in separate areas. The zoning ordinance requires 42 spaces for the square footage uses proposed. Eight extra spaces over the minimum are included which should be ade- quate. Staff Planning Report September 15, 1972 Page Eleven URBAN DESIGN OF SPACE: Evaluation of this highly subjective area is difficult and _ necessary, because the design of the facility will dictate Its success or failure. The highly visable location from the streets and the knoll to the west requires a unique site planning approach. I must point out that many site plans were considered and many would be workable. M. Z. Jones Associates feels that the plan submitted will best suite the site, developers, and communities needs. The intent of earth berming and planting along Valley View and Baker Road is to screen the automotive services from passing traffic. The "softening" of buildings with plant material and earth should be conceived in a d four season ap- proach' I The proposed material should effectively screen the gas pumps in the winter as well as the summer. The height of the benns, etc., should be determined in the field when the roads are at their proper grades and the building is in place. The intent of the landscaping is most important since detailed plans are not completed. The same care used in designing the berms should be employed In the parking areas. Detailing of side walks and driveway edges will greatly add to the space. The design of the plaza/entry area for the stores could create a truely different center. The graceful entry ex- perience into the grocery or dry cleaners might not seen of primary importance, but does contribute to each customers positive or negative feeling about the area. The provision of a seating area, plant materials and a well designed kiosk will set the space apart from what most people call the "strip" or "PDQ/superet t e" corner. The accessibility of the center to. units by pathways is an advantage for the units and the stores. The Edenvale trails run through the site along Valley View and Mitchell Roads with walks to the center. Also, the walkway to the Mark Z. Jones south site units accross the parking lot provides ex- cellent access to the center. ARCHITECTURE: Dick Schwarz, the architect, said the buildings will be masonry with a brick exterior treatment. The building will use wood and glass on entry and window facades. The roof over the gas pups will have a wood trim running between the building and Staff Planning Report September 15, 1972 Page Twelve the fin wall towards the road. These details are important because the structure is contemporary, with strong massing forms for the garage and grocery. The "fin walls" for the gas pumping area and car wash are strong visual elements that hide the service uses. The clean, simple structure should be very appropriate when mixed with the proposed landscaping. SUMMARY: The use of the site as neighborhood commercial is consistent with the Edenvale revised concept plan with only some property boundary revisions. The site plan, architecture and traffic movements have been well planned. Therefore, I would expect a very well designed and well received, from the communities interest, neighborhood commercial center. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Approve the convenience center plan submitted in the "Shadow Green" proposal with the following requirements: a. That detailed building design, encludirig materials, be approved by the planning staff prior granting a building permit. b. That detailed landscape plans be submitted and on site inspection by the Village Staff be used in deter- mining the earth berm heights and type, amount and lo- cation of plant material. c. That all parking areas will be adequately screened with earth or plant material as is jointly agreeable to the Village Staff and Developer. 2. Approve rezoning of the 2.5 acre parcel to C-commercial ac- cording to the plan submitted. The neighborhood convenience center proposed in the "Shadow Green" brochure submitted September 5, 1972 is the use granted by the rezoning. The site is below the 5 acre minim for C-camercial disteicts, but the convenience center is a smaller scale conseercial use than nonfat C-camnercial. PLAiiiiING CO1ISSIOi1 IIiiUTES September 5, 1972 Page 3 the land is low and there are areas with poor soils and a high water table. The original plan which had the "spine" street with units backing in it was found to be unworkable given the soil conditions. Also, the questions raised by the Planning Commission about the poor circulation pattern with the driveway and turn around space for garages being the .ame was examined and the new plan would solve that problem. Paul Bierman from Bailey h Alsociates, site planners, worked on the changes and felt that the new proposal armers the problems of the site and the suggestions by the Comnission. He apologized for not haring hare information available at this tine but the time between receiving the detailed soil boring and the meeting was short. hr. Joe Dennis, representing Jonathan Housing Corporation, apologized for the shake up in plan and Village procedures that they had hoped to follow :Jut the soil information dictated a major change. He asked to submit sore detailed infsrmation before the next Planning Cosi ssion weeting end that the Council Ptiblic Hearing scheduled for the September 12 Council meeting possibly be continued to September 26th. ttion Taken The Commission concurred that they could not take action at this time with the information submitted and asked that the Council Public Hearing For September 12th be continued by the Council until September 26th, and Formal Application be resubmitted for the new plan with enough time for the staff to make a report before the next Planning Comnission Meeting. 511....;ZIIID REWEST Mark Shadol Green proposed rental apartment and ZEI5vete cet—WTocat--e'd-M—Renareon Valley View Read and Baker Road. First presentation to Comnission by the developer. Don Peterson, President of Eden Land Corporation, located and briely luentifier: the site by using aerial photographs. He explained that on the south site there are scattered major trees and a heavily wooded area overlooking the pelf course. The convenient center site, at the inter- eection of Valley View and Baker Roads, has been graded and there are few trees. Only a striae mound to the south. The northern cite has a few trees along the westerly boundary next to the driving range with a rolling and open character overlooking the golf course. "la.kjenes, President of !lark Z. Jones Associates, gave a brief introduce tion to his company. Fie said that the corporate information preseded to; the Mooring presentation in the Preserve documented: his corporation and erther explanation was not needed. Dick Schwartz, Project Architect, ilescribed the relative merits of each of the three sites. The north multiple site has a double load of corridor, underground earking building form, while the southerly apartment site uses a less intense structure and ramped parking. The convenience center site has little tree coverage and is flat which was ideally suited for camercial use. Mr. Schwartz said that the north site nlanned to accomodate about 212 units. The goal was to get as many units fronting out onto the unenity or the golf course. The proposal has twe I thirds of the units front away from the auto courts which Mr. Schwartz noted was heavily landscaped. The parking has one PLANNING COMISSIOil MINUTES September 5, 1972 Page 4 enclosed spec'/unit under the 'auildings with the remaining parking or grade in the center court area.

Jim Robin, Project tandsoare Architet, briefly discussnd tree typo and vegetation that exists on the site.

The Omission and staff expressed concern about the density or intensity lir the use of the northern site. It appeared that much of the land was teing used for building or narking. Another concem was that 'AV , attention to detail, such a project was very important. The treatment the building exteriors, the landscane trealanent, and other detailed design elements were extremely critical to success or failure of this project. Ir. Janes amplified this by saying that one of his pri4mry concerns in developing an apartment complex anywhere is the micro- inviroment in the project. He noted examples of various projects where they have had to provide substantial amenities to make the nruject workable. Along the Same lines, Scott Godin, of Marks 1..lones Associates, Pointed out how the quality and type of environment built by developers In the last few years has greatly improved because of the demand by renters for more amenity and better development.

Entrance to the project was changed and only traffic to the 30 Units will be using the project streets makino the entire plan much more desirable. Action Taken: Da-Rirensen moved and Fosnocht seconded that (1) The Planning Commission approve the request for rezoning to P1 6.5 on the 5 acre parcel located In The Preserve based upon the revised plan submitted September 19, 1972 and (2)Approve the preliminary plat for the Jonathan Housing Corp. 5 acre site based upon the revised plan subnitted September 19, 1972. Motions carried. D. Ibi4-1717F,1777s7177577i, Shadow Green, proposed rental apartment project located in Edenvale. -Village Planner, Dick Putnam asked that the report and recommendation be postpcned until the October 3rd meeting as the Staff Report was not ready and the Council would not have a chance to act on it until their October 10th meeting because of the Special Assessment Nearing. Slides were shown on Shadow Green by Richard Schwartz, Project Architect' for Nark Z. Jones Associates showier detailed site plan entrance access and parkino. They showed 30' wide green strip berm on either side of the entry road landscaped with additional trees for good view from rental units and entering cars. The model of the Convenience Center, which includes a small grocery, barber shop, dry cleaners and service station was also shown and explained in detail. The location of the service station in the center of the site is placed to make the car wash safe; ample parkino provided around Convenience Center and the area well shielded from the street. In answer to Mr. Poerger's ques- tion, Mr. Schwartz said the gas station would most likely be a leased facility. Jim Robin, Project Landscape Architect discussed trees planted and their rate of growth. Described in detail planting of vegetation to screen parking areas and included slides of the parking lot at Minne- tonka Village Hall showino berms used to divide parking areas and Anthonies men's Store. Commission member Soeraer wondered about the use of banners, etc. by the gas station. Don Peterson said that bernst this is a "captive audience", meaning people right in Edenvale, marketing would not be a problem and Edenvale does have a sign ordinance. The Commons Area was described by Mr. Schwartz. He said each comparable facility would have a good sized outside pool with an elaborate deck. (Merlin(' onto the pool deck would be kitchenettes and toilet facilities. Facilities would be available to Tenants or the Community for use for classes, etc. Sauna and exercise rooms mild be available for both sexes. This will not be a highly oriented family center.

PLANNIN0 COMMISSION 'IINUTES September 19, 1F72 Page Three Fosnocht questioned density of the huildinn. 'Ir. Schwartz pointed out the open space on the tarth side of a little over 8 acres and that there are several pretty good size open spaces throughout the project. Roth Fosnocht and Sorensen asked that they reduce the density of the Units. Norma Schee and Wayne Prown feel that if there is a place for density this is it, bemuse of the feeling of openness when you overlook a golf course. Don Peterson pointed out that this apartment unit is better than most apartment units having one, two and three bedroom apartments and this project location is in a place where it should be permitted. He said 12 to 14 units per acre is low apartmeet density. Norma Schee asked that this iten be placed on the Planning Commission agenda on October 3 and Dick Putnam, stated that he will have a staff report to them to consider then. The Council will consider it on their October 10th meeting for a public hearing. C. Edenvale 5th Addition, single family plat located along Edenvale Blvd. Discussion had regarding narrow public rinht-of-way along Purga- tory Creek adjacent to Outlots 3 & 14. Marty Jessen, Parks and Recreation Director, feels that a natural or perhaps man-made barrier would be the best idea to separate public from private land because a scenic easement leaves too much open to question. Don Peterson stated that this walkway is only a connection between the North Park and the South Park and is only an area to walk in to net to a school park area of 35 acres. He said the lots are large, 17,000 to 21,000 sq. ft. and if he has to give more to park land the value of the lots will diminish. Both Jessen and Putnam suggested that the tree line be the park/private boundary rather than the edge of the sewer easement. Jessen said the Park/Recreation Conmission feels the trees should be the boundary. Action Taken: rreaTir-1 vas made by Don Sorensen and scconded by Fosnocht that: 1. To provide access to the parkway system, a walkway he installed on either the sanitary sewer or water easement from the cul-de-sac street to the creek parkway. The connection would he 3 quasi-public easement for those in the subdivision. (Payne Brown requested that Peterson write in something to nuke sure that people would not be prosecuted for crossing over onto private land. Peterson agreed to include this.) 2.

Tones Associates, Shadow Green, rental apartment project located in Dienvale PUD - the new intersection of Valley View and Mitchell Road. The Commission received the Planning Staff Report dated September 15, 1972, and the Planner briefly discussed the recommendations included in the report. Since there were many recommendations that dealt with detailed design of moving buildings or spaces between buildings, Dick Schwartz, Project Architect, responded to each recommendation with proposed solutions. He mentioned that by shifting buildings, eliminating some of the excess parking area, and inclusion of a pathway system, the recommendations on the Staff Report could be met. Chairwoman Schee recommended action not be taken at this meeting because two of the members (Brown & Sorenson) received their information packets on this meeting late Monday rather than Friday (when received by other Commission members) due to heavy police load over the weekend. The Commission also requested that the representatives from Mark Z. Jones Associates bring back a report on the recreational facilities included in this project, and some concrete ideas about opening up the building areas as suggested in the Staff Report. Mr. Schwartz felt this would be possible by the next meeting, and asked that action be taken at that time to allow them to begin some construction yet this year. Action Taken: Fosnocht moved and Brown seconded to hold over for two weeks the Shadow Green proposal in Edenvale and take action at their next meeting on October 17, 1972. Motion carried. B.

I know at our previous meeting, I mentioned that there were obvious alternatives open to Crown Auto Stores, Inc. in financing this project. How- ever, shortly after our meeting, our Board of Directors voted to negate all these other alternatives. So to clear the record, this is our only route. As per our conversation, because of the forth coming winter season, the timing is of great essence. I would like to compliment you and your village council for the guidelines that you have set forth for considering applicants for M.I.D.B.'s. We at Crown Auto Stores are very proud to locate in your fine community and I surely hope that the Village of Eden Prairie will find us an excellent contributing citizen to your community.

Eden Prairie, Minnesota Gentlemen: At the request of Mr. Stuart A. Belkin, of Crown Auto Stores, Inc., we have conducted an informal study as to the economic feasibility of the proposal that the Village of Eden Prairie issue its revenue bonds under provisions of the Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development Act to finance acquisition of a facility in or near Eden Prairie to be leased to Crown Auto Stores, Inc., for operation in its business of handling, storing, ware- housing, processing and shipping products of manufacture, consist- ing primarily of automobile parts, supplies, tires and accessories. Our study has led us to conclude that on the basis of current financial conditions the project is economically feasible and the revenue bonds of the Village can be successfully issued and sold. It is therefore our intention at the appropriate time, to submit to you our written proposal for the purchase of the bonds. A copy of this letter is being forwarded to the Com- missioner of Economic Development to serve as a letter of intent requested by the Commissioner. Very truly yours, DAIN, KAMAN 6 QUAIL, INC.

Heinrich Village Manager VILLAGE OF EDEN PRAIRIE 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343 Dear Bob: I would like to thank you and Dick Putnam for spending some time with Jerry Sandvig and me and to reiterate some of the points that were covered at this meeting. 1. We will circulate a petition to the major landowners in the Ring Route area asking that the Village proceed with the south half of the Ring Route. 2. The Village will file an application with the State: a. To build a temporary exit ramp at the Naegele property connecting TN 494 with existing TN 169/212. (This has been accomplished by the Village.) 13, To upgrade TH 169/212 from CR 60 to the intersection with the Ring Route to a four lane standard. c. To establish the intersection of the Ring Route with the existing State Highway 5 and relocated TN 212. 3. Schedule trunk sewer and water for the shopping center location in 1973. Included in the study and recommendations for the Ring Route should be the formula of payment and schedule for completion. The petition is to be presented to the Village Council on October 24th at which time the Council will be asked to approve the engineering studies which are to be directed to the south half of the Ring Route. It is anticipated that these engineering studies and recommendations will be completed within ninety (90) days. A Total Environment Community —11020 Pm* Rd., Eden Fable, Minn. 56343 — 1612) 941.2001 Mr. Robert P. Heinrich October 13, 1972 Page Two Combined with the engineering studies and recommendations will be the overall PUD for the entire Ring Route area. Part of this overall study will be the HNTB report that is in the process of completion. The PUD for the Ring Route will be presented to the Village Planning Commission and Council and to the Metro Council as well as the State Highway Department, These presentations will be handled by the Village staff. Several very important points were made by Jerry Sandvig. They were: 1. The Regional Shopping Center will need two independent sources of water, 2. Homart Development Company will need assurance from the Highway Department that the on-grade intersection at State Highway 5 is scheduled and that the west ramp con- necting TH 494 and 169/212 is scheduled before they will proceed with any plans for the regional center or the neighborhood center. I have asked them to schedule the neighborhood center for construction in 1973. 3. Homart is experiencing no difficulty with roads, sewer and water in Burnsville. As a consequence, the Burnsville center is assured. However, they are experiencing some difficulty with their building design. This is, as I under- stand it, not a very major problem. 4. Both Burnsville and Eden Prairie are scheduled for opening in 1975. 5. Powers Department Store will only build one store per year. 6. If the Eden Prairie Shopping Center does not open in 1975, it will not open until 1978 or afterwards because both 1976 and 1977 will put Sears in areas where they are not exper- iencing many difficulties. I am sure that you recognize the importance of firming up an agreement with Homart Development Company thereby insuring the Village of Eden Prairie and the entire area a permanent and exciting Regional Shopping Center. The Village of Eden Prairie, Homart Development Company, Sears Roebuck, Associated Dry Goods (Powers Department Store) and the Minneapolis Gas Company working together have a tremendous clout which if properly applied, can move the few mountains that ate in our way, The Regional Shopping Center will provide employment and an Mr. Robert P.

You have our complete and entire support. Kindest personal regards, THE PRESERVE G. M. Carter, Jr. President CARTER & GERTZ, INC. GMC/ctnl cc: J. Sandvig K. Person A. Hyde B. Bermel J. Teman D.

This assessment if levied will be levied against a piece of property which cannot be benefited by such utility as building is prohibited upon it. The density of Edenvale is overall less than 4 units per acre and the golf course does not count for density credit on any rezoning matter. Eden Land has agreed to dedicate approximately 70 acres as public park which con- stitutes well over the required 5% park dedication. In addition to this we have committed to about an additional 70 acres of quasi public open space. Only the 70 acres of quasi public open space is allowed for credit on density cal- culations. None of the golf course or public open space is allowable for den- sity credit. Therefore it is our opinion that no trunk line assessment is jus- tified on this land. Without levying an assessment on the public land or golf course the trunk line assessment for Eden Land will amount to well over 3/4 million dollars. This is on land where no trunk sewer line expenditure has been made by Village funds and only limited trunk watermain will be constructed. In other areas of the Village the assessment is levied against property actually served by publicly installed trunk sewers and watermain. In Edenvale we build our own including trunk lines. We are asking the Village to give full credit against our trunk line assessment for those trunk mains which we have or will construct ourselves with no public funds. In studying this matter we find that Eden Land Corporation will be constructing the majority of the trunk lines within Edenvale. Trunk sewer lines amounting to approximately 21,000 lineal feet and trunk waterlines of approximately 30,050 lineal feet will be constructed. The majority of this will be installed and paid by Eden Land Corporation. Of these trunk lines Eden- vale will receive lateral benefits on 5630 lineal feet of sewer and 14,000 feet of watermain. Honorable Mayor and Village Council October 11, 1972 Page Two We are asking for credit against our trunk line assessment for the total cost of 15,370 lineal feet of trunk sewer and oversizing of 5,630 lineal feet trunk sewer that give lateral benefits and 15,950 lineal feet of trunk watermain and oversizing on 14,100 feet of trunk *Item:wain which gives lateral benefit. We ask this credit for trunk lines for which we are assessed by the Village but which are constructed by Eden land at our expense. I will be happy to seat with the Village at any time to work out dm details of this assessment. Yours truly, EDEN LAND CORPORATION .411.041 '- Donald R.

I know that for some time the Village has been conteaolating the adoption of such an ordinance. We have a customer who clesires to construct a very nice restaurant and bar in Edenvale along Mitchell Road. We would like to make a presentation of the proposed restaurant at the October 24th council meeting in order to bring up the issuance of a liquor license at this location. The owner will be requesting a liquor license and we are asking for an indication from the council on such before plans for development are prepared. Yours truly, EDEN LAND COI/ORATION Donald R. Peterson President DRP:blt VILLAGE OF EDEN PRAIRIE HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO. 187 AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING CHARGES FOR THE PURPOSE OF EQUALIZING TRUNK WATER ANO SEWER SYSTEM ASSESSMENTS, UPON CONNECTION OF PREMISES TO THE SYSTEM WHEREAS, the Village has by Ordinance No. 165 adopted March 28, 1972, prescribed uniform access charges for each residential equivalent connection to the water and sanitary sewer system, and WHEREAS, under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 4414.075, Subdivision 3 the Village Is authorized to fix charges for such connections also by reference to the portion of the cost of the system which has been paid by assessment of the premises to be connect- ed, in comparison with other premises, as well as the cost of making and supervising the connection, and WHEREAS, the Village has determined that it is just and equitable that the expense of the trunk and interceptor portion of the water and sewer system, other than that paid from continuing user charges or taxes, should be assessed or otherwise charged uniformly against premises for which trunk service is made available, NOW, THEREFORE, the Village Council of Eden Prairie ordains: Section I. A compensatory connection charge is established for all premises on which any building or structure is hereafter connected to the municipal system for water service in an amount which, when added to the principal amount of special assessments, if any, levied upon the same premises to pay expenses of construction of the municipal water trunk facilities, will equal: (a) $ 220 for each platted lot included in the premises to which the water connection is mode, if such premises were platted on or before June 22, 1971; or (b) $ .0126263 per square foot of the area of the premises if not platted on or before June 22, 1971.

Section 3. The charges in Section 1 (b) and Section 2 (b) shall be modified according to the Engineering Construction Cost Index of utility construction with September, 1972 equalling a base of 100. Section 4. In computing the property compensatory connection charge for each building or structure, the premises with respect to which such charge is made shall be deemed to include all common, publicly owned property, or jointly owned property in the vicinity of the building or structure, the preservation of which as open space or for some other use is required for compliance with Village building density and zoning regulations. Section 5. Each such compensatory connection charge shall bodes and payable forthwith upon the completion of the connection for water or for sewer service, as the case may be; except that any such charge in excess of $900 may be made payable in 10 equal annual installments with interest on the unpaid balance at 6.6% per annum, if so requested and provided by written agreement with the owner or occupant of the premises before connection is made.
