VI. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. McAllister Properties. Anderson Lakes Planned Unit Development.
Mr. Aslanclis, Midwest Planning and Dick Putnam, Village Planner reviewed
and presented the Anderson Lakes Planned Unit Development located on 15
acres of land south of I-494 on the eastern boundary of Eden Prairie and
Bloomington north of Anderson Lakes. It is proposed that land usage of
the 15 acres will have 4.15 acres as residential development and 10.85
acres as permanent open space. 32 townhouses are proposed to sell from
$25,000 to $45,000 and the 130 apartment/condominiums in the $25,000 to
$50,000 range.
Numerous questions were asked by the Council and residents of the
Anderson Lakes area in Eden Prairie and Ensign Road residents in
Bloomington. They were concerned about the traffic problems that 160
dwelling units would create on West 78th Street and the overload on the
intersection of 78th and County Road 18, Mrs. Meyers was concerned
vrhether there would be a scenic easement or dedication of' land along
Anderson Lakes that is included in the project. She was informed that
land would be dedicated. Petitions were submitted from the Anderson Lakes
Property Owner's Association and the Famign Road residents objecting to
the project. Mr. Putnam concurred that the Anderson Lakes and Ensign Roa
d
residents had a valid reason to be concerned about traffic problems end
recommended that the matter could be referred back to the Planning Coam-
isson for a traffic study.

Concept ;Plan and First Phase Development Plan
December 12, 1 972
Dick Putnam, Village Planner
R. P. Heinrich, Village Manager
COMMENT:
Shelter Homes Corporation, headed b y Larry Laukka, has been looking for
land within Eden Prairie for some time with little luck until the option of
the Deaver parcel that is being presented now. They have looked in Red
Rock, the Giuffs, Edenvale, The Preserve with little success since their
form of development is essentially the large scale planned unit development
providing the amenities, the streets, utilities, etc. This site, adjacent to
Purgatory Creek, is extremely well suited for such a developer, who utilizzs
all the tools available in developing land. They are not just home builc.lera,
but are instead the planners, engineers, builders, and marketers of the:::
product, very similar to Perntom, for example. In past conversations with
Shelter, the importance of the neighborhood character of Duck Lake being
primarily single family was taken into consideration for any development.
The product that they are presenting at this time does, I feel, respond to
the neighborhood character in a slightly different housing type -- the
clustered single family.
On December 18th, this project as well as others in the Duck Lake planning
work, will be discussed at the Prairie View :Elementary School so that the
community residents may hear this presentation and also ask any questions
make suggestions at that time. On the 19th, Eden Farms will be ;resented
th.: Planning Commission for the first time, hopefully with a better idet.
ca: the nzighbc:nood reaction.
'2::aro are various uses proposed in the Eden Farm development. The lai -ge
lot single family of an acre or more for expensive homes; clustered single
:arnily, which is the detached unit on a smaller lot, clustered or grouped
around small cul-de-sacs; the. more conventional townhouse, which utilizes
the steeper slopes to permit step up, step down hill units; approximately
33 acres of publicly dedicated land adjacent to Purgatory Creek; and
approximately 30 acres of quasi-public land, owned and maintained by the
ao,..00wners association, but yet certainly accessible to the public; and
a small seven acre community center located at the realigned location of
w Prm lin-,inEay Staff Planning Report: ;-Jder. :arms
Page 2
Duck Lake Trail and Co. Rd. ;f4. Of the clustered single family, there are
393 units proposed at a net residential land density of 3. 96 units per aCre..
The townhouses, of which there era SC, are proposed at a net residential
land density of 5.4 units per acre. There are 12 single family lots also. In
the 185 acres, there is an overall density of 2.65 units per acre. The
expected population after four or five years scheduled for construction
is approximately 1800 people, and 491 households. The income range within
this project would vary from approximately $29,000 - $3 0,000 up over
$40, 000 for the townhouses, and the single family large lots up over $50,000.
There may seem to be some resemblance between this project and the other
iarge scale projects of The Preserve and Edenvale since this is providing
a wide range of housing types, large open space areas of significance,
major recreational facilities such as the recreation center at the Deaver
barns, and limited commercial, meaning primarily a neighborhood
convenience center. The need for the varied type of housing and the large
open spaces combined with the commercial center make this project ideally
suited for the Duck Lake area.
will be researching some of the locational determinants for different scale
shopping centers from the neighborhood center to the community shopping
center to the regional center, and will submit this in a report to the Council
and Planning Commission within the next few weeks, which will help to
identify the need for such facilities within the Duck Lake area, particularly
at this site.
The project utilizes the natural features of this area in a very sensitive way,
pro serving large massive land forms, such as the wooded knoll on the nezth
end of the site and the knoll on the west side of the site as well as the major
fore at and barn area near Duck Lake Trail. Of course, the preservation of
the flood plain is expected and required in such a project, and will greatly
enhance the project and the surrounding area, as well as the Village. Many
of the open space facilities will be available to the existing neighborhoods
in Paradise Valley and the areas to the west. The response of the community
is very important to such a project since it is developing within a built-up
This we should learn on December lath.

TO: Mayor and Members of Village Council
THRU: Bob Heinrich, Village Manager
FROM: Marty lessen, Park and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: EDEN FARMS DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL, SHELTER
HOMES CORP., AND PETITION FROM HOMEOWNERS
IN NORTH LUND- EDEN VIEW AREA
The Park and Recreation Commission reconsidered the Eden Farms
proposal from Shelter Homes Corp. at their January 22, 1973, meeting.
The proposal,previously presented,had received a favorable recommen-
dation from the Park and Recreation Commission. Due to the petition
submitted by homeowners in the Edenview-North Lund area, and after
hearing a brief presentation by Drew Daniluk, a resident representing
those neighborhoods, the Commission reaffirmed their favorable
response to the proposal.
The petition requested that all land lying north of Purgatory Creek be
preserved as public open space. The development proposal outlines a
substantial portion of the land as open space, but also includes three
areas for cluster development. The Commission did concur with the
landowner s request that the high hill lying north of the creek and also
the small pond on the very eastern edge of the Shelter property could
be included in the public open space system on the site, tying
directly to Purgatory Creek. In addition, the Commission felt that the
forest on the west edge of the property shown as quasi-public open
space ought to also be incorporated into the public open space system.
However, the request to preserve the entire area north of the creek
seems unreasonable in light of the protection open space elements
already included in the Shelter proposal. While the land is certainly
beautiful and could easily be used for recreational purposes, it is not
the highest priority area on the Shelter site. In evaluating the open
space elements and environmental elements of this proposal, the
unique natural features were set out in the following priority:
1. The creek valley and floodplain area associated with it.
2. The virgin maple and elm forest on the west side of the
Shelter proposal.
3. The high hill lying north of the creek near the east-central
part of the property.
4. The other small knolls associated with that hill, and down in
the homestead area itself.
EDEN FARMS DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
January 23 , 1 973
Page Two
The Shelter plan respects all of the elements outlined here:
1. It preserves the creek.
2. It preserves the virgin forest on the west side of the
property.
3. It preserves the high hill in the center and north part
of the property, and takes advantage of the development
potential on the rest of the site.
This appears to be a reasonable development solution for the property.
The neighbors suggested the area proposed for development as a possible
playground site. The Commission, in reviewing that suggestion and
reacting to it, felt that it was not particularly desirable for a playground
site in that it is rolling terrain, would require a good deal of land
alteration to be used for active recreation pursuits, and in addition, is
not situated in a location that would be conducive to a school/park
complex. It's located on the very eastern edge of that portion of the Eden
Prairie School District. The Minnetonka School District extends down
into Eden Prairie in the Edenview area. Therefore, it seemed more
appropriate to consider a neighborhood park/playground complex some-
where just west of the Shelter proposal.
In light of all of these considerations, the Commission at their meeting
last evening again recommended approval of the Eden Farms proposal by
Shelter Homes Corp. with the inclusion of the hardwood forest, high
knoll, and pond area in the public open space system, as outlined
previously.

P.U.D. Concept Plan Approval of the 185 acre
residential development, rezoning for the model
home area located adjacent to the relocated Duck
Lake Trail, and preliminary plat approval on the
model home area.
December 28, 1972
Dick Putnam, Village Planner
BACKGROUND:
The material presented in the Eden Farms brochure does an excellent job
of depicting existing site conditions and illustrates its conceptual
proposals very well. The project has been presented to numerous groups
up to this point. The Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District has
reviewed the proposal in concept form and is favorably impressed with
the flood plain preservation and the natural areas that have been left.
The Park and Recreation Commission has reviewed the proposal and has
recommended the approval of the concept plan particularly relating to
the 60 acres of open space. At this time, no definite decision has been
made on the exact ownership of the 30 acres other than the creek valley,
be it public or quasi-public. This would be determined at a later date.
The meeting that was held with the community on December 18, 1972,
at the Prairie View Elementary School discussed the general overall
planning philosophy within the Duck Lake area and considerable amount
of time was spent presenting the Eden Farms proposal to the 40 or 50
residents present. The basic elements of the proposal -- the service
center of neighborhood commercial services, the clustered-type single
family home, the townhouse • and the public and quasi-public open space --
were presented. I believe a fair statement regarding the meeting
pertinent to the Eden Farms proposal is that the community was concerned
with the relocation of Duck Lake Trail, that it would not adversely affect
circulation into their area during the process of construction, and that
the entrance onto Co. Rd. 4 would provide adequate sight distance. Also,
there was a concern regarding the service center in terms of the uses that
would be located there and the design of such a development. The concern

the northeast corner having 97 units with one access point on 62nd
Street and the other connecting with North Lund Road at Creek View
Lane was questioned since it would increase traffic on North and
South Lund. Those concerns as well as a favorable reaction to the
park and open space concepts as well as the general housing type and
mix were the key elements of that meeting, relating to this project.
I believe that with the various groups that have reviewed this proposal,
a fair assessment would be that there was generally favorable reaction
to the concept as a whole with only concern regarding two areas.
One is the appropriateness and the design of the service center at
Duck Lake and Co. Rd. 4, and the other is the connection with the
northeast cul-de-sac street to North Lund.
The Village Council has asked the Staff to address itself to the commercial
need within the community and to research and report to them on the
needs and types of commercial development within the Village. They
have asked that no commercial developments be approved prior to that
research. I have been working with the commercial needs, particularly
around the Major Center Area relative to the Homart project, but at this
point, have not assessed the exact needs within the Duck Lake area.
SITE ANALYSIS - IMPACT UPON ADJACENT COMMUNITY:
The site analysis upon which the plan is based, I feel, has been well
conceived and has produced a plan that is realistic, given the physical
constraints of the site.
The impact of the 490 dwelling units upon the surrounding community,
Paradise Valley and Duck Lake, will be minimized by the compatibility
between the clustered single family and the existing half-acre single
family and open land. The family type and characteristics within this
population group will approximate, with perhaps smaller families,
the existing residents that are there. The ownership aspects of this
project combined with the cost of from $30,000 to mid-$40,000 range
in the cost of units will blend with the existing areas. The preservation
of the creek valley and the major knoll to the north as well as the
recreation and service centers are elements that will be community in
scale and scope and will provide the necessary open space for not only
this development but the entire Duck Lake area. The overall gross
density of 2.7 dwelling units per acre does seem consistent with the
1968 Guide Plan's objective within this area as well as the surrounding
development.
Staff Planning Report - Eden Farms
Page 3
The impact of the Crosstown upon this development, we feel, will
be minimal by its locaion north of existing 62nd Street, and having
62nd Street maintained as a frontage road or developed as a limited
access arterial street in the future. We do not feel that the realignment
of the Crosstown across Purgatory Creek within these boundaries of the
site is likely nor possible and, therefore, development of this 185 acres
would be possible without conflicts with the Crosstown.
PROPOSED MODEL HOME AREA:
A proposed model home area, which would be accessible from a temporary
street from present Duck Lake Trail, would be built just behind the Deaver
barns that are there today. A srnall cul-de-sac with 11 lots and a small
open space area would be the proposed development for the model home
area. Examination of the grading and proposed site plan for this area
Indicates that the units would be tucked into the existing woods on the
north side and would be in the open area south of the cul-de-sac. The
distance between the structures and the relocated Duck Lake Road is
indicated to be slightly over 100 feet. If this distance is to be
maintained, it would seem appropriate that land forms such as berms of
sufficient height to minimize the effect of Duck Lake Trail and/or plantings
to screen it from those three units fronting with their back yards directly
onto Duck Lake would be necessary. Likewise the structural setbacks
from any street such as the proposed collector street within the project
should be compatible with our Zoning Ordinance. The setback requirement
from the cul-de-sac street should be flexible to allow building placement
that will be compatible with adjacent lots.
Review of the utility systems proposed, street profiles, along with other
engineering data would be necessary before final approval could be
granted for this. These improvements would have to meet the standards
established by the Village Engineering Department. Also, the preliminary
plat for this first phase area should be defined as a block out of the
entire 185 acre package and the specific lots would be subdivided therein.
The first phase model home area will require the construction of a private
cul-de-sac street as well as a temporary public street as the collector
until the relocated Duck Lake Trail is accomplished. These will be put
In at the developer's expense to Village standards.
SUMMARY:
In reviewing the plan and working with Shelter Homes Corporation, as
well as the numerous meetings with various groups, it is my opinion that
this project as a concept plan for a 185 acre P.U.D. is well conceived
and with the expertise that Shelter Homes and the principals in that
Staff Planning Report - Eden Farms
Page 4
corporation have displayed in the past should be implemented in an
excellent manner. The basic principles which Eden Prairie has used
to evaluate development, such as respect for the land, preservation of
major and significant public open spaces, utilization of proper
structures that are appropriate to the land, in addition to others are
well exemplified by this proposal.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Approve the Planned Unit Development concept plan for Eden Farms
proposed by Shelter Homes Corporation within the Duck Lake sector
of Eden Prairie with these stipulations:
A. The neighborhood service center at the intersection of
Duck Lake Trail and Co. Rd. 4 is withheld at this time
pending further study by the Village Staff as to the
needs for commercial facilities in this area. Withholding
of this approval neither indicates disapproval or approval
at this point.
B. The northern cul-de-sac that joins North Lund and Creek
View Lane should be left flexible at this point to
Incorporate a non-passable, except for emergency
vehic le, type of connection which would be built to an
acceptable standard and then sodded or joined to North
Lund. This street and area will not develop for two to
three years. It seems appropriate to withhold exact
road alignment and decisions until that time.
C. The exact legal arrangements for the open space of 30
acres bordering the Purgatory Creek areas are not decided
as to ownership at this time, but that the opportunity for
public dedication of these open spaces as well as the
30 acres adjacent to Purgatory Creek remain open and
will be decided jointly by the developer and the Village at
a later date.
D. The P.U.D. concept plan approval is based upon the
brochure submitted by Shelter Homes Corporation and is
not granted to other developers without resubmission to
the Village.
E. Construction within this Planned Unit Development should
be started within 1973 or an extension sought from the
Village or the Planned Unit Development approval would
revert back to the Open Rural classification.
2. The first phase area be rezoned to RM 6.5 in conformity with the
plan submitted for the model home area just off Duck Lake Trail. The
Staff Planning Report - Eden Farms
Page 5
rezoning is for 11 lots and its open space as the first phase.
3. Preliminary plat approval be granted to the proposed model home
area, consisting of 11 lots, adjacent to the relocated Duck Lake
Trail in conformance with the plan submitted. The final preliminary
plat shall be reviewed by the staff to insure that it conforms with
the requirements of the P.U. D. and rezoning.

COMMENT:
Shelter Homes Corporation, headed by Larry Laukka, has been looking for
land within Eden Prairie for some time with little luck until the option of
the Deaver parcel that is being presented now. They have looked in Red
Rock, the Bluffs, Edenvale, The Preserve with little success since their
form of development is essentially the large scale planned unit development
providing the amenities, the streets, utilities, etc. This site, adjacent to
Purgatory Creek, is extremely well suited for such a developer, who utilizes
all the tools available in developing land. They are not just home builders,
but are instead the planners, engineers, builders, and marketers of their
product, very similar to Pemtom, for example. In past conversations with
Shelter, the importance of the neighborhood character of Duck Lake being
primarily single family was taken into consideration for any development.
The product that they are presenting at this time does, I feel, respond to
the neighborhood character in a slightly different housing type -- the
clustered single family.
On December 18th, this project as well as others in the Duck Lake planning
work, will be discussed at the Prairie View Elementary School so that the
community residents may hear this presentation and also ask any questions
and make suggestions at that time. On the 19th, Eden Farms will be presented
to the Planning Commission for the first time, hopefully with a better idea
of the neighborhood reaction.
There are various uses proposed in the Eden Farm development. The large
lot single family of an acre or more for expensive homes; clustered single
family, which is the detached unit on a smaller lot, clustered or grouped
around small cul-de-sacs; the more conventional townhouse, which utilizes
the steeper slopes to permit step up, step down hill units; approximately
30 acres of publicly dedicated land adjacent to Purgatory Creek; and
approximately 30 acres of quasi-public land, owned and maintained by the
homeowners association, but yet certainly accessible to the public; and
a small seven acre community center located at the realigned location of
• Preliminary Staff Planning Report: Wen Farms
Page 2
Duck Lake Trail and Co. Rd. #4. Of the clustered single family, there are
393 units proposed at a net residential land density of 3.96 units per acre.
The townhouses, of which there are 98, are proposed at a net residential
land density of 5.4 units per acre. There are 12 single family lots also. In
the 185 acres, there is an overall density of 2.65 units per acre. The
expected population after four or five years scheduled for construction
is approximately 1800 people, and 491 households- The income range within
this project would vary from approximately $29,000 - $30, 000 up over
$40,000 for the townhouses, and the single family large lots up over $50,000.
There may seem to be some resemblance between this project and the other
large scale projects of The Preserve and Edenvale since this is providing
a wide range of housing types, large open space areas of significance,
major recreational facilities such as the recreation center at the Deaver
barns, and limited commercial, meaning primarily a neighborhood
convenience center- The need for the varied type of housing and the large
open spaces combined with the commercial center make this project ideally
suited for the Duck Lake area.
I will be researching some of the locational determinants for different scale
shopping centers from the neighborhood center to the community shopping
center to the regional center, and will submit this in a report to the Council
and Planning Commission within the next few weeks, which will help to
identify the need for such facilities within the Duck Lake area, particularly
at this site.
The project utilizes the natural features of this area in a very sensitive way,
preserving large massive land forms, such as the wooded knoll on the ncrth
end of the site and the knoll on the west side of the site as well as the major
forest and barn area near Duck Lake Trail. Of course, the preservation of
the flood plain is expected and required in such a project, and will greatly
enhance the project and the surrounding area, as well as the Village. Many
of the open space facilities will be available to the existing neighborhoods
in Paradise Valley and the areas to the west. The response of the community
is very important to such a project since it is developing within a built-up
area. This we should learn on December 18th.

Two acre subdivision proposal adjacent to Paradise Valley Addn.
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:
F*;%te 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.
Cri tical to success of the proposal is the landscaping plan along the
southerly side of the new road. The homes in Paradise Valley should be
povided 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 homes. 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
o the vegetation screen.
/Viso critical is the approval of the entrance onto Co. Rd #4 by the
i.eancpin County Highway Department. Before final approval is given
thei r approval must be given and an entrance permit assured.
GENERAL COMMENT:
The somewhat irregulir 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
dovelopment surrounding. The options for the owner of the land were to
501 1 it to the adjacent property owners, develop lots as proposed, or hold
Lne land with no use. The development Option was chosen and the plan
proposed responds to the demands of the site and adjacent properties
as well as possible.

District 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 hod recalled the proposed plat for further study. The
Village Planner, Dick Putnam stated that the reason for recall ing was
that the land to the east was available for sale. A resident asked
if 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 Warren
Shultz subdivision until the Planning Commission sends its. recommendation
to the Council. Mrs. Meyers seconded. All voted aye. Motion carried.

to be unfeasible due to lot disturbance, prohibitive cost. The lot size,
drainage problem solution, developer-paid utilities were also explained.
Mr. Jack Rosholt, attorney representing residents surrounding the area,
presented a petition and indicated the concerns of the neighbors and the
history of the area. The problems facing these residents: back-to-front
housing, Co. Rd. 4 traffic hazard, drainage, Paradise Valley covenants.
Messrs. Earl Nunderlich, Les Coon, jack Burke, Jerry Wanner, Earl
Eelliger expressed their objections.
Mr. rorensen pointed out that people Nho buy property in an area have
the right to believe that the property adjoining be developed in a similar
manner with compatible use and same life style. Mr. Fosnocht,
sharing the neighboring owner's concern and recognizing the traffic
problem, moved that the Commission reject the proposal recommending to
the Council that they not approve the proposal. This motion was not
seccrided as other members of the Commission explained their views,
both pro and con.
Action Taken:
Forensen moved and Brown seconded to continue with the proposal at
the next Commission meeting which would allow both sides, encouraged
by the Commission, to meet at a mutually agreeable time to work out
a resolution of this matter. Motion passed unanimously.
December 5, 1972, Planning Commission Meeting
A. Wren Schultz, singl e family development of five lots between Kurtz
Lane and Paradise Valley. Action on preliminary plat and rezooing
to R1-13.5.
Mr. Putnam pointed out that the only new information was the recomra-
VIIIIation submitted by the County Ilighway Department. Dr. Schultz
said he had talked briefly with the Attorney representing the residents
of the area prior to the Planning Connission meeting. Ile indicated
his willingness to work out a resolution regardless of the action
that the Comission ;night take. Attorney Rosholt pointed out that
he had tried to mac il Pr. Schultz prior to the Commission meeting.
He requested a did s ion by the Commission on the merits of the project..
Mr. Fosnocht inquired as to the restrictions of the deeds of the
home owners and their reviewal. Mr. Perbix. fir. Putnam said, mild
review this when the matter was brought before the Village Council.
lFr. Rosholt pointed out that R1-13.5 requires maximum of 2 lots per
acre which would limit the plat to 4 lots rather than 5 and further
showed that lot 3 was under the ordinance size. The variances were
then read and discussed.
Earl Seliger, Paradise Valley, spoke to the Commission about the
democractic process; Gerry Wallner voiced this concern about the
privacy, drainage, and his desire for open space; fir. Jack Burke,
Park Terrace Drive, objected to the rezoning, lack of plat on the
proposed change, possible double taxation on the street abutting
the properties.
Action Taken
Hr. Boerger moved and hr. Brown seconded that the Warren Schultz
single family development between Kurtz Lane and Paradise Valley
be accepted and recomended for approval with the following
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 rezoni ng of the land to R1-13.5 in conformance with
the plan sulahtted.
3. Approve the prel iminary plat as submitted for single hone sites.
4. The street proposal should be built to Village standards and be
a public street with sufficient right-of-way---mininwin of 44 feet.
5. Dedicate additional right-of-way along CSAll 4 to provide 50.0
feet width of right-of-way from the centerline of CSNI 4.
Planning Commission fleeting

6. Access to all lots should be from the proposed street rather
than from CSAII 4. Entrance and street permits must be obtained
from the maintenance section of the Hennepin County Highway
Division.
7. All proposed construction or alterations within County rinht of
way must be approved by the Hennepin County Highway Division.
8. That such recommendation present no conflict with existing
sub-division restrictions or legal infringement on surrounding
properties or otherwise.
notion carried with ayes from Drown, Schee, Borger; nayes from

RE: Subdivision Plat Adjacent to Paradise Valley
for Warren Shultz
Dear Mr. Putnam:
This letter summarizes my attempts to date to contact residents
of the neighborhood adjacent to the proposed residential plat.
Mr. Herb Fosnocht suggested I begin by contacting Mr. Jack Burke.
Mr. Burke is the originator of a petition in opposition to the
proposed residential plat.
On October 20, 1972, I contacted Mr. Burke by phone at his resi-
dence, 15507 Park Terrace Drive. I explained to Mr. Burke that
I would like to meet with neighborhood residents to explain the
proposed development. We had a cordial conversation. Mr. Burke
stated that he and other neighborhood residents had met and re-
viewed the proposed development plans. He felt that he could
speak for other residents and indicated that an additional meet-
ing was not necessary.
The offer to meet with neighborhood residents remains open. We
further intend to make the offer directly to all residents im-
mediately adjacent to the proposed development. I regret the
confusion over this incident. If I can be of assistance in esta-
blishing better communication between parties involved, please
con tact me.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Burke:
Mr. Warren Shultz, myself and other members of our staff have
given careful consideratim to our present position with rerprd
to the proposed residential subdivision of the 2 acre parcel
adjacent to Paradise Valley. We have reviewed the objections to
this proposed development raised by area residents. We have
analyzed our proposal in the light of these objections to
determine what alternatives we can seriously consider and what
course of action we should pursue. Our first step will be to
explore the possibility of a neighborhood group purchasing this
property and maintaining it for neighborhood open space.
You and other Paradise Valley residents have firmly indicated
your interest in purchasing this property if it is available.
Mr. Shultz has decided that he will be receptive to an offer
by area resident(s) to purchase this parcel. Mr. Shultz has
further indicated that he will consider any offer by neighbor-
hood residents adequate if the purchase price covers his direct
expenses. As a guideline to you and other resident(s) in con-
sidering the purchase of this property I can indicate that Mr.
Shultz's direct expenses to date are $6,000.00 for purchase of
the parcel and approximately $1,000.00 for engineering services.
Flexible financial terms such as a contract for deed may be
possible.
If this course of action is to be followed an early response and
an indication of commitment is required. If you and/or other
neighbors prepare an offer or wish to discuss the terms of a
purchase I will arrange a meeting between yourselves and Mr.
Shultz.
Very truly yours,

Re: Ring Road South Construction
Dear Mr. Heinrich:
In response to your invitation of December 4th, we are pleased to submit
our draft proposal to provide engineering services for the design and
construction of the southern portion of the Ring Road for your consider -
ation and approval.
For clarification and ease in identifying certain elements of work, we
have separated the work into three pluses: preliminary design, design and
construction monitoring. In this basic agreement, the scope of services
to be provided pertain to the preliminary and final design and construction
monitoring of the storm drainage system and roadway. Should other services
such as those relating to structures, lighting, signalisation,water and/or
sanitary sewer work be preferred at a later date, these could readily be
provided through a supplement to this basic agreement.
Our Minneapolis Office currently has 40-45 planners, engineers and engi -
neering technicians. We have in -house capability and manpower to per -
form all the necessary services for the design and supervision of the Ring
Road. Additional specialists, should they be required, will be available
from our other offices.
For this project, Mr. James 0. Murphy P.R., Chief of the Municipal Sec -
tion, will be designated as the Proj ect Manager. Mr. Murphy will function
under my overall direction.
We appreciate the opportunity to serve again the Village of Eden Prairie.
If you have any question with regard to this proposal, please call us.
Respectively submitted,

the CONSULTANT and will arrange with a competent soils in-
vestigation firm to conduct soil borings for this project.
2. After determination by the CONSULTANT of the proposed roadway
alignment and the approval thereof by the VILLAGE, the VILLAGE
will arrange with a competent land survey firm to establish
right-of-way and property line intersection points and pro-
vide plats of same.
B, The VILLAGE will, prior to the commencement of the Design Phase, fur-
nish to the CONSULTANT a complete list of variables and considerations
to be taken into account by the CONSULTANT in the design phase of the
project. The list may include but not necessarily limited to:
1. Any recent or expected legislation, resolutions, ordinances
or policies established by any governmental unit which the
CONSULTANT may not have occasion to be aware of and which
may affect the design requirements for the roadway; and
2. Any of the aspirations or informally expressed desires, of
which the VILLAGE has knowledge, of property owners, other
municipalities, or governmental units having any jurisdic-
tion or responsibility pertinent to this project.
C. The VILLAGE will, upon approval of preliminary roadway alignment,
arrange with a competent soils investigation firm to obtain recom-
mended borings.
SECTION III: COMPLETION TIME
A. Preliminary Design Phase - The CONSULTANT proposes to complete the
services described under the Preliminary Design Phase within One
Hundred Twenty (120) calendar days after authorization to proceed.
This time limitation excludes the time required for right-of-way
negotiations.
- 6 -
B. Design Phase - The CONSULTANT proposes to complete the services des-
cribed under the Design Phase within One Hundred and Twenty (120)
calendar days after authorization to proceed with the Design Phase.
C. Construction Monitoring Phase - The CONSULTANT proposes to perform
services described in the Construction Monitoring Phase throughout
the duration of the awarded contract(s).
D. General - If and when the CONSULTANT becomes aware that any work item
is impossible to complete by the required date, the CONSULTANT shall
Immediately inform the VILLAGE in writing of the situation and the
reasons therefor. It is recognized by the VILLAGE that certain delays
in obtaining plan and funding approvals may be beyond the control of
the CONSULTANT. The CONSULTANT however will exert every effort possible
to insure that the project is completed as expeditiously as possible.
SECTION IV: COMPENSATION
A. Preliminary Design and Design Phase - For all services to be rendered
under these phases, including study report, design plans, supplemental
specifications, and proposal documents, compensation will be 5.25
percent of awarded contract amounts for storm drainage system and
roadway construction for which design was performed by the CONSULTANT.
Payments will be made to the CONSULTANT upon his submittal of monthly
invoice based upon progress report percentage applied to the estimated
construction cost noted in Paragraph D of this Section, less ten (10)
percent retainage amount. Balance shall become due and payable after
award of contract (s). In the event that a contract is not awarded for
which the CONSULTANT has performed design and/or prepared plans within
ninety (90) days after submission of same, the CONSULTANT will be
entitled to 5,25 percent of the construction cost based on tbe En-
gineers final estimated quantities times the estimated unit prices.
B. Construction Monitoring Phase and Special Services - Compensation for
services outlined in Section I, Paragraph A, Subsection 3 and Para-
graph B of this agreement will be the actual salary cost incurred by
the CONSULTANT for each employee whose time is chargeable directly
to the project plus a surcharge of 130% to cover fringe benefits to
employees, overhead, local transportation and profit. This arrange-
ment will continue except that the CONSULTANT reserves the right to
renegotiate the percentage of surcharge each calendar year after
1973 to reflect escalating overhead costs. Because the nature of
this project may result in an inconsistent intensity of effort
necessary from one period of time to the next, the CONSULTANT may
- 7 -
find it necessary during the Construction Monitoring Phase to require
employees to work overtime on occasion. The VILLAGE will be billed
for such overtime on a straight-time plus 1302 basis for those hours
actually worked. The premium portion of the hourly wage (one-half
the amount of the employee's base hourly rate) will not be billed to
the VIUAGE.
C. Charges Not Included in Paragraph A or B Above:
1. Under the Preliminary Design Phase, borings and registered

Re: Levy 5627, Sewer and Water Trunk 581
Dear Mr, Perbix:
Enclosed is Dismissal of Notice of Appeal of Special Assessments
Without Prejudice which we have caused to be filed with the Clerk of Dis-
trict Court for the County of Hennepin.
We have dismissed this appeal because the levy certified by the
Village of Eden Prairie with the County of Hennepin Finance Department
is in accordance with our agreements with the Village of Eden Prairie
which provide for a total of 857,213. 00 special assessments for sewer
and water trunk.
Thank you very much for your cooperation. If you have any ques-
tions concerning the dismissal of this matter please feel free to call me.
Very truly yours,
Le VANDER, ZIMPFER & TIERNEY. Ltd.

Re: Hennepin County League Mailings
The EV has grown from 33 to 43 municipalities with a corresponding
increase in the number of municipal officials to be mailed to.
The Board of Directors, at the meeting held January 4, 1973, directed
that future mailings be sent only to municipal administrators with a
request that ouch mailings be reproduced and distributed in the
council packets.
The board stated that it believed that council members would be
more apt to read and discuss HCLM business if it appeared with the
other items of council business. The board also stated that it
felt that the office would operate more efficiently if the mailing
list, now somewhat over 400 names, was reduced and clerical time
spent on providing materials for committee consideration.
Whether this policy is successful in its goal of achieving more
discussion of HCL14 business and in utilizing clerical time depends
upon the cooperation of our members. The next few mailings will
include league positions on the Metropolitan Council, State Fiscal
policy, another meeting with the legislators, and committee positions
on various legislative proposals. These mailings are important.
If there is any difficulty with providing this information through
your council packet (such as might be the case for some very small
municipalities meeting only once a month) please let me know.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
