Eden Drive presented and reviewed a petition requesting that the portion of the "Old Deaver property adjacent to and north of Purgatory Creek be preserved as public park and recreation land. Grant Guilderhus, West 168th Avenue was concerned about the northern cul-de- sac that joins N. Lund and Creek View Lane, whether it would create a traffic problem. David Morin,N. Eden Drive stated that he was concerned with density in the cluster homes. Charles Weisheimer, Creek View Lane questioned how many haws would be in a cluster and was informed that there would be about 30. He stated that he felt that this was impossible. Messrs Denham,Pierce, j,c, Webster, Helmer, Lindman and Brown appeared to protest the use of the land. � have that thelan will be the same A citizen asked what assurance do theyplan y Nc as the one discussed at this meeting.

Reclassification from Zoning District Rural to District R1 13.5. Preliminary Plat Approval - Resolution No. 643. Alan Gray, Rieke, Carroll, Muller & Assoc. presented the two acre subdivision proposal adjacent to Paradise Valley Addition. It is located east of County Road 4 between Kurtz Lane and Park Terrace Drive. 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 a 1/2 road right-of-way. A preliminary plat for the property contains 5 lots from 14,500 square feet to 20,000 feet with access from County Road 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. Jack Burke, Park Terrace Drive presented and reviewed a petition signed by the six adjoining property owners to the south requesting that approval of the plat and rezoning be denied. Dallas Peterson, Park Terrace Drive stated that he felt that the plat was poorly suited to the land. Leslie Coon, Park Terrace Drive said that he thought the plat would add to the traffic hazard already on County Road 4. Gerry Wolner, Park Terrace Drive said he felt that there should be more open space. Jack Rosco, the Attorney representing the residents stated that the covenants should be extended to the surrounding property in that Mr. Kurtz developed Paradise Valley. The Village Attorney noted that the Village should not get into the matter of covenants, that it was the right of the property owners but not up to the Council to decide. Mr. McCulloch stated that he did not like the plat plan and that there should be a better way of developing, Mayor Redpath concurred with this also. A motion was made by Mr. Penzel to continue the hearing to February 13th and urge the neighbors end developer to come to an agreement. Mr. Boerger seconded. After discussion, Mr. Penzel withdrew his motion. A motion was made to adopt the first reading of Ordinance No. 204 approving reclassification from Rural District to R1 13.5. Mr. Boerger seconded.

The Village Council asked the Task Force to investigate the housing situation T in the Metropolitan Area, and recommend "a Housing Program that would provide for proper and orderly residential growth in the community." Throughout the 12 months of deliberation by the Housing Task Force, the goals and objectives were redefined from the original charge. The production of a final report became only one phase of the Task Force's work, while the "community implementation process" became the ultimate objective. Housing, an essential element of a community's development, should be approached as a continuing process: dynamically, not statically. Just as the planning process is constantly changing, implementation of an Eden Prairie Housing Program Report is merely the first voice in a dialogue among citizens, elected officials, staff, and developers that is necessary to produce a good final product. Many of the expected developments and their impacts upon the community have been analyzed by the Task Force and recommen- dations for these areas have been presented in the report. Pre- senting these recommendations, with their background material, is not to dictate policy but rather to stimulate thoughtful and creative discussion between community elected officials,Metro- politan Area officials, and individual residents.

In the 3 E300's and early 1900's, Eden Prairie was noted for its very pro- ductive agricultural lands and for its innovative settlement that was established in 3 854 with the platting of the town of Hennepin, located on the Minnesota River bluffs in southeastern Eden Prairie. Due to the construction of the railroad south of the river and the diverted trade, the early platting and high hopes for the develop- ment of this area did not materialize. In 3 858 the formation of a township approximately 36 square miles was the next governmental step in the community's history. From this era of development, many names still remain within the Village. Moran, Lenzen, Pauly, Anderson, Mitchell, Grill, and the Millers were the pioneers of Eden Prairie, and without these and other far-sighted individuals, the development of the Village would not be what it is today. The change from township to village marked the next milestone in its development on January 1, 3963. The adoption of the Council/ Manager form of government in 1968, in conjunction with the community-financed Comprehensive Guide Plan, was well timed for the changing community. The Village leaders during the 196O's recognized the dramatic shifts in development that were on the horizon for Eden Prairie. Construction of the freeway network which linked Eden Prairie with suburban communities north and east, and to the central city only 15 miles away,combined with the sewer interceptor constructed through the community in 1 970, supplied the catalyst to thrust the community into the 3970-80's as a new suburban town. Today, Eden Prairie's development is characterized by the creation of large communities, such as The Preserve and Edenvale, within the Village. Eden Prairie has chosen the Sector Planning Approach as a way of establishing Village growth policy and for creating the intimate, human-scale, residential areas within the Village. Very few other suburban municipalities have experienced this type of growth, which encompasses the development of large amounts of land (over a thousand acres) under single ownership. The community's investment is small in services such as utilities, roads, schools, parks, and open space areas, since this is a cost to the developer. The high front-end costs borne by the large developer are producing a different type of development than that built during the 50's and neighborhoods within i 60's . Development of unique sectors or n e g 1 e residential environment, produce a trulyunique the community will un which provides the necessary community services at a personal scale. Eden Prairie's community development is closely associated with the New Town developments of recent years within the United States and Europe. This process is a refinement of the 1968 Comprehensive Guide Plan, which will better serve the community and its citizens in the future. Today another basic form of community planning is being used which is an "issue-oriented" approach to analyzing and providing community needs. The Joint School District-Village Study of School and Community Facilities will produce a truly unique and efficient method of providing educational services and human services to the community. Likewise, the Housing Task Force dealt with the much larger-scope problem of housing and the related services necessary to accommodate old and new community residents. HOUSING TASK FORCE BACKGROUND: The residents involved in the Comprehensive Guide Plan community development seminars in 3967-68 will remember the importance of resident input and the open discussion of alternative methods of development and their impact on the community. In the same tradi- tion, the Housing Task Force which was conceived Jointly by the Village Officials and the Metropolitan Council staff in the fall of )97) was an effort to channel community residents into the study of housing policy and its impact on Eden Prairie. The original goals and objectives of the joint housing demonstration project stressed the development of effective means of coordinating residential development with open space, diversified center, employment opportunities, educational facilities, transportation, utilities, and other public facilities in order to examine their impact on the Village. The original proposal was very large in scope and during the meeting process, the Housing Task Force decided to reduce the scale of the study. In November, 7 973, a Community Housing Forum was held at the Eden Prairie High School, at which the demonstration project and various speakers outlined issues related to Eden Prairie's housing situation. Announcement of the formation of the HTF was announced at that meeting, followed by newspaper articles and community newsletters requesting participation of community members begin- ning early)972. The first meeting of the HTF was January 13, )972, at which time Mr. Calvin Clark, Research Associate for the Citizens League, outlined the procedures used by the various citizen research groups. The Citizens League studies specific issues with citizen task forcesand staff/research assistance. The staff researches and writes up position papers and takes detailed minutes of each of the Citizens League task force meetings. The task force members hear testimony by various experts and leaders in areas related to the problem, and through a process which takes four to eight months, will arrive at a rather comprehensive, well thought- out position and recommendations related to the specific issue. A key element in the process is the synthesis of information by the staff into issues that can achieve common ground between differing points of view. A first step was to ask experts in various fields related to housing to speak to the group, and the group should have specific issues to discuss with the Task Force. Also, detailed minutes would be important, since the Task Force planned to meet for many months, and they would refresh each member's recollection of the material. The Task Force reserved the right at that point to determine how any documentation and finalization of the report would be done, until they were more familiar with the problem and the resources available. Through the months of testimony and discussion with various experts and members of the community, it became apparent that a method of bringing together the information gathered, different from the Citizens League, would be more appropriate for this group. The difference would be that the actual drafting of the reports would be done by sub-committees,comprised of Task Force members. The differing points of view within each of the sub-committees, plus the shortage of staff time, indicated this as an appropriate way to proceed. In retrospect, the decision to divide into sub-committees and discuss and resolve particular issues by the Task Force members is one of the important products of the group. The knowledge gained by the individual members of the Task Force of each other and the familiarity with the issues and the reasoning behind the recommendations will be very beneficial in discussing the recommen- dations with Village officials and the community at large. Brief Summary of Topics Discussed: Copies of the minutes can be obtained at the Village offices for those interested in a detailed description of the topics discussed. Also, various position papers and informational data are available upon request. Summarization of the areas studied by the Task Force is extremely difficult because of the numerous areas which influence housing, but to describe the areas covered by the speakers can best be done by pointing to eight areas of concern: Population and market trends. Futurism. New towns and alternate urban development techniques. Housing types and alternate life styles. Government subsidies. Community and human services. Fiscal impacts of development. Developer economics. POPULATION AND MARKET TRENDS: Population and market trend s were the major topics of Robert Lorimer and Donald Olson in an early session of the Task Force. The effect of the pill, lower birth rates, and smaller families that begin rearing children at a later age, will affect our population in the decades ahead. They indicated that perhaps the growth in the Metropolitan Area has been over-estimated. The statistical tables produced by their analysis indicate a lower growth rate than projected by the Metropolitan Council in all areas of the Twin Cities, specifically a lower rate of growth within the Southwest Sector. They pointed out that the Twin City Metropolitan Area is one of the fastest growing urban areas in the United States, although they anticipate this growth to slow in the upcoming years. Other speakers discussed market trends, population, and their impacts upon Eden Prairie. The shift from the traditional single- family home, as the dominant part of the market in the 50's and 60's, has been replaced today by a diverse selection of multiple units. The market today is much more diversified in the selection of housing types that have varying amenities and features. Eden Prairie, bypassed by the rapid, tract development of the 50's and 60's, today is experiencing a high cost of land and increasing development pressure. FUTURISM: Bob Heigeson and Don Imsiand,representing N.S.P.,conducted a discussion of futurism that was based upon a multi-media show, "Profiles of the Future", produced by N.S.P. The stimulating pre- sentation produced many doubts within the Task Force members as to the future of the urban environment and the ability of society to cope with change. Today the rate of change within our society is increasing so rapidly that it has had profound effects upon inter- national, national, and community affairs. The discussion about unknowns of the future indicated that the planning and decisions made today must attempt to evaluate the social and physical changes that will occur in the next decades. NEW TOWNS: The Task Force was fortunate, being very close to Jonathan, to have Ben Cunningham participating in the New Town seminar. Other speakers, such as James Hall from Pemtom and Donald Jacobson from Cedar-Riverside Associates, explained many of the facets and problems of New Town development. The blending of various economic factors within these New Town areas was felt to be of particular importance, whether it be the economics of housing, commercial and industrial development, or the economics of popu- lation makeup. The key is the planning of the physical systems to complement the more important social systems that influence a community's development. All of the speakers indicated that the New Town development was not reserved for private enterprise on a specific land area, rather of philosophy. A community such as Eden Prairie, with creative planning and leadership,can grow consistently within the philosophies of New Town development. HOUSING TYPES: To study various housing types available today, the Task Force, with the assistance of Metropolitan Council staff--Wayne Cox, Roger Howe, and Dick Brustad --visited numerous housing developments within the Metropolitan Area. Discussions with James Hall and Charles Krusell gave a better ineight into the stock of housing available today and in the future. It became obvious in visiting the various housing types that they served many life styles, family sizes, and unique personal choices. GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY: Government subsidy programs, relating to housing, have in the past been confined to large scale developments in the central city areas. Today, the recent phenomenon of subsidization of ownership and _ rental units in the suburbs is something that is yet unproven. A fair statement would be that most government programs dealing with housing have not worked as effectively as the private sector programs for housing. Unfortunately the provision of housing for low and moderate income people within society is not an area that the private sector has responded to, without government subsidy. The discussions with Jerry Jones, Chuck Krusell, and Dick Brustad pointed out the problems that have happened under past housing programs for low and moderate income people. The speakers out- lined the changes upcoming in the next few years within the total national housing program. Today the categorical aid programs, geared to subsidy of specific units, will be replaced by subsidies in the form of a direct income allotment to families for rent or to purchase housing that meets their needs, and should provide a new direction for government-provided housing. A fair assessment of the information presented outlined the pitfalls and potentials, and ways that a developing community might prevent many of the problems that have occurred in the past. COMMUNITY/HUMAN SERVICES: All of the speakers discussed the importance of human services to the development of housing within the community. The impact of rapid urbanization of suburban communities in the 1950's-60's brought major crises in utilities, schools, and tax bases for these communities. A development method of the 1970's-80's cannot afford to have unorganized development, with the broad mix of people moving into these areas, all needing various amounts of human services. As Mr. Cunningham pointed out, the provision of housing is merely one step in the total process of community development. The"software services" are what make your community work, in the long run, and can transform a bad physical Environment into a successful human environment. FISCAL IMPACT OF DEVELOPMENT: Kenneth Rice, an expert in the field of land development economics, addressed himself to many of the problems and expectations asso- ciated with residential development in new communities. Decisions center around the tremendous cost involved in development today: holding costs of land, the costs of time related to the financing, and the cost of providing the infrastructure necessary for resi— dential development, such as utilities, streets, schools, etc. As in all businesses, the profit motive is that which makes housing in the United States possible. Whereas other countries view housing as a social responsibility, the United States has not adopted that policy in past years and the government has taken a "laissez faire" approach. There is great concern in all sections of the country about the expense (and at whose expense)the profit is obtained from housing. These feelings lead to a distrust between communities and developers, producing higher costs and less economy. In 1960, the cost of the average home in Eden Prairie was approximately S22,000, whereas in 1970, it is S35,000. Most of the other speakers addressed themselves to the alterna- tives and ways that this cost to the consumer and the cost to the community may be reduced, through efficient development methods. DEVELOPER ECONOMICS: Most of the speakers dealt with the modern-day developer, particu- larly in Eden Prairie, and the greater sophistication that he brings to the job of providing housing. He employs trained professionals to develop and work with the community, carrying out the varied development plans today within a shorter time frame. Today, the term "trade-off", which is a negotiation process between the community and the developer, is used to produce a better product by preserving essential environmental features while maintaining the critical balance between developer and community economics. Also, the developer of today is a long-term developer, particularly in the larger scale projects, being involved with the community for 10 to 15 years. The day of the fast "tract developer", who is in and out in a few years, is past. Most of the speakers seemed to indicate that a close working relationship must be main- tained between the community staff, Village officials, community residents, and the developer to insure that any misunderstandings of community goals/objectives and those of the developer are equitably resolved. HOUSING TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS: The Housing Task Force is making these recommendations to the Village Council as a result of its six month study of the future aspects of housing in Eden Prairie. These recommendations are described in detail in the body of this paper, but are paraphrased here for handy reference and emphasis of the direction of this report. Ouality of Life: 1. As a community on the verge of rapidly accelerating, unprecedented growth, Eden Prairie should seek to obtain a diversity of citizenry which would include people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds and economic status. 2. Environmental factors --including preservation of existing natural areas, appropriate balance between density of living units and open space, and compatibility of roadway systems with existing and future developments --should be a prime concern in future planning. 3. The Village should establish overall guidelines with respect to desired land usage and Village population. Housing Development and Implementation: 1. There should be a continuing reviewal of new housing approaches and their application to Eden Prairie. 2. The local government should provide education to promote community understanding of the programs designed to assist in providing housing for people with low and moderate incomes. 3. In order to implement the recommendations contained in this report, the Housing Task Force urges that Village Officials adopt legis— lation that would insure the provisions of low and moderate income housing within the Village. 4. The Housing Task Force agrees conclusively that at the present time, the only way to provide housing for people who belong to the low and moderate income groups is through private or government assistance programs. 5. The use of Planned Unit Development procedures for future housing and growth is encouraged. 6. A more precise (and, therefore, less subjective) system for evaluating the design aspect of development proposals should be established. 7. A study of mobile homes and the new state ordinances governing them needs to be conducted. 8. The possibility of providing sites within Eden Prairie for campers and motor homes should be explored. 9. A maintained pathway system should be established throughout the entire Village. 10. Bicycle routes between residential areas and local service centers should be provided. Village Policy: 1. There is a need for a policy statement which would clearly define the role of various groups --community residents, elected and appointed officials, staff, and developers-- in the Village decision- making process. 2. A policy statement needs to be set forth that will direct develop- ment with an eye toward both preserving present expectations of local residents as well as meeting the needs of future members of the community. 3. A step-by-step system of procedures needs to be adopted in order to facilitate the negotiations between developers, Village Officials, and residents. 9. A Village policy which would insure that people from all income groups and backgrounds would have an opportunity to find housing in Eden Prairie suited to their needs and situations should be adopted. Citizen Involvement: 1. In order to continually involve Village residents in the planning process, various citizen's groups, similar to the Housing Task Force and/or homeowner's organizations could be established. 2. Frequent newsletters should be sent to all residents keeping them informed about activities and new developments within the Village. SOCIO-ECONOMIC DIVERSITY "Development goals for residential property shall provide safe, healthy and pleasant residential environments which will offer a broad choice of housing types for all;provide for a sufficient range of housing costs which would allow the less economically fortu- nate, the aged, the poor, and the minorities the opportunity to contribute to our community, and encourage experimentation in residential environment by inviting creative design." The preceding "Statement" has been public policy in Eden Prairie since mid-1970 and is an attempt at providing a more desirable and diversified community for all of its residents, present and future. It has been established that communities prosper or decay at the hands of their residents. It is also known that diversity of people provides stimuli for vitality while in uniformity lie the roots of decay. As a community on the verge of unprecedented growth, Eden Prairie should seek to obtain a diverse citizenry which would include all kinds of people. The "real world" is filled with such diversity, as we see in man between cradle and grave: Children -who play and go to school. Teenagers-who are just setting their sights on the future. Young Adults - who are forming families and households of their own. Middle Age Adults-who are the math force of the income-producing society, and also the main adult body of the current population of Eden Prairie. The Elderly- who are people whose children have left home and who are looking to or are in retirement. The Spectrum - of economic circumstance from rich to less affluent. The Variety- of people of all ethnic, religious and racial backgrounds. Eden Prairie, if examined in the light of the above, will quickly be shown to already possess the greater portion of the desired future diversity, as in the "real world". Should we fail in our objective of continuing to provide a"real world" community, we would deprive our children and ourselves of the opportunity to meet and live with those who are not here now, and lose the chance to lead fulfilled, successful lives. Diversity maintained and increased would achieve this objective. In order to accomplish this diversity, Eden Prairie must commit itself to a sense of collective responsibility, for the future of the community and for providing housing that will provide the greatest number possible the opportunity to share the good life in Eden Prairie. This will require a variety of housing types and styles in response to the changes the "world" is now undergoing. The costs of construction have more than doubled over the last decade and this severely limits the standard housing available today. However, alternate types of development and construction could/can alleviate this situation. These choices of variety in housing types and styles are also related to the change in people's life styles. The changes that are taking place in living styles are causing changes in family size, with many young couples postponing children until later in their lives or choosing not to have children. Seasonal relocation is occurring more frequently, with people occupying several resi- dences during a year in separate parts of the country, in response to the changing seasons. In addition, family mobility is increasing quite rapidly with the average occupancy of a particular housing unit by a given family down to three years. Subsequently, these changing life styles imply that families will desire a variety of housing sizes, types, and styles as their circumstances change. Economic cooperation between individuals of the same mini-society is also increasing, such as in fraternities and other groups which share the costs of housing, and the fellowship and mutual assist- ance during times of need. Such groups frequently occupy individual housing units and range from young men or women sharing in rental or purchase, to the elderly who join together for com- panionship and survival, to communes which recently have found favor among some of the young adults of our society as an experi- ment of people living with people. The accelerating speed of change is creating in many people a new need for a sense of community. This sense is a desire to feel a comfortable closeness to people, and to recover the traditional feeling of the neighborhood "home". For many, the work week is growing shorter, resulting in an increase in leisure time. For others, there is the heavy strain of the 8 - 5 Job, that is forcing them to utilize their leisure time to its full capacity. The increase in leisure time and the increase in its utilization brings with it a growing concern for living amenities and recreation facilities. Such facilities would include trailways, totlots, playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, swimming pools, undisturbed wilderness, and local shopping and service provisions through neighborhood centers and transportation means. New styles of housing development provide a greater range of options in the life styles and facilities previously mentioned. These new styles include the Planned Unit Development (PUD), Sector Planning, the integral neighborhood of a fixed number of housing units and defined area, and the neighborhood center con- cept. The variety of housing types and costs available to the consumer is also increased greatly by these new approaches to old problems. The work force needs are also substantially helped by the provision of a full range of housing. Eden Prairie desires commercial and industrial growth and the welcome tax base it provides. However. such business growth must also have a solid local base in its work force if it is to produce the socio-economic balance Eden Prairie seeks. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS: The Planned Unit Development concept is a planning system that departs from the traditional zoning practices and allows for more effective land usage. It is a concept of land utilization which entails pre-planning the mix of land uses making up a community. In addition, a unified open space and recreational system is in- cluded, emphasizing the environmental features of the land. "Cluster" development is frequently an element of a Planned Unit Development. Clustering occurs when normal lot sizes are reduced, and smaller lots are clustered together with the remaining land left as open space. Clustering is an excellent example of the land utilization in the Planned Unit Development concept, as there is an orderly relationship established between the open space areas and the housing areas. Usable open space in a Planned Unit Development implies proper design, the provision of landscaping, and a program of maintenance. Open space not only provides pleasant vistas for the resident, but conserves the environment, adds recreational area, and provides visual relief from density housing. Some of the features which characterize a Planned Unit Development are:* 1) Variety of housing types and structures; 2) Harmonious over-all appearance; *Metropolitan Housing Newsletter, Volume 1, Number 7, 1972. { III 3) Clusters of homes surrounded by common open space; 4) Environmental features preserved; 5) Community services conveniently located and space planned for industry and commerce in development of sufficient size to — support them; 6) Pedestrian walkways connecting the entire area, separation of pedestrian and vehicular routes. The Planned Unit Development system of planning, when handled with intelligence, sensitivity, and due regard for the community around it, should have a favorable impact in the community. Service models (transportation, sewer, schooling, amenities, etc.) should be reviewed, and any burdens and/or tradeoffs identified. The power of economics should be recognized, and the land economics should be able to support any increase in facilities. Creative legislation at the local governmental level is required if urban development is to be improved, costs of present-day housing and improvements reduced, and adequate parks and other amenities furnished. Economic incentives must be built into local ordinances to provide the land developer with the economic basis for taking the extra time and effort, and bearing the high initial costs required to create a more varied and desirable development. In effect, the developers may be granted higher densities as an economic incen- tive to realize a better residential development The Planned Unit Development concept produces several advan- tages:* 1) The developer-builder benefits because he may increase his density by 0 - 50% per acre, thus saving on land and improve- ment costs. 2) By building a variety of housing, the developer-builder broadens his market. 3) The developer can make better use of land,since Planned Unit Development recognizes that land should be developed according to individual characteristics. 4) Under Planned Unit Development planning, a developer can pro- vide open space without long-term tax re sponsibility. *Metropolitan Housing Newsletter, Volume 1,Number 7, 1972. 5) Lenders and investors benefit because the Planned Unit Development promotes a sound basis for long-term investments. 6) The Planned Unit Development can provide housing for families of a wider range of income, and thus help create a less stratified population. — 7) Buyers may benefit by achieving a higher standard of living and better amenities for the same price they would have paid in a conventional subdivision. 8) Planned Unit Development permits buyers to change their housing type as family needs change and still live in the same neighborhood. 9) A greater concentration of services and facilities are available in a comprehensively planned development. 3 0) A municipality benefits because a properly planned Planned Unit Development reduces street, utility, maintenance, and service requirements. l l) The Planned Unit Development can in some instances bring in tax revenues in excess of the cost of service it requires. FUTURE TRENDS: In the last decade, the proportion of nationwide residential con- struction devoted to multiple units has increased markedly: 44% of new dwelling units started in 1971 were in buildings with two or more housing units, compared with 2 7%in l 961. In addition to the strong growth of multi-unit housing construction since the beginning of the Sixties, a new pattern has emerged in which construction of multiple units in suburbs rather than in central cities has become dominant. These changes are due largely to (l)a trend toward smaller families and households, (2) a steep rise in land values and costs of home ownership, and (3)the industrial and population shift to the suburbs. Demand for multi-unit (apartments, townhouses, etc.) living space will continue to grow due to the intensification of at least two factors working to raise the rate of household formation: the net increase in the number of families and the net increase in single member and other non-family households. In this decade, new family formation will Increase rapidly because the high birth rate of the mid-Fifties (43 million in 3957 alone). These young people will reach marriageable age during the Seventies which will result in an increased rate of family formation. The decrease in the incidence of more than one family living together and the increase in the number of single-member and other non-family households in the last two decades are attributable largely to the rise in real income over the period; for both men and women, greater affluence, greater educational attainment, increased mobility and changing social values have made new living arrangements both desirable and feasible. The proportion of men and women who are either delaying marriage or remaining single is increasing. Many of these individuals are choosing to live alone or with non-relatives. Between 1960 and 3973,the number of unmarried persons between 34 and 34 increased more than 50%, compared to 35% for the total population. More elderly persons, also, can maintain separate households, through the benefits of improved health care and greater affluence. Because an additional small household often is formed after a divorce, the recent steep rise in the number of divorces has con- tributed significantly to the demand for multi-unit living space. Those households which are headed by an "individual" (a household head living alone or with non-relatives) are growing at a much faster rate than the total number of households. In addition, the relative demand for multi-unit living has been increasing as a result of a decline in the number of young children per family. Most of the "baby boom" children are already in their teens or older; and many recently married couples are, at the least, postponing childbearing and perhaps planning to have fewer children. Thus, there are relatively fewer parents now who may need or want the additional space a house provides to accommodate the greater requirements of a growing family. The increase in demand for apartments, townhouses, etc. has and will continue to stimulate new concepts in design. Garden apart- ments, planned unit developments, and apartment complexes de signed as self-contained communities, co-operative and condo- minium units, which combine apartment-style living with many home-ownership advantages at a lower cost than home ownership are also attracting many households. COMPATIBILITY- OLD AND NEW: The primary force to the maintenance of a harmonious relationship between Eden Prairie today and Eden Prairie in the future will be the community government and its agencies. This community government must maintain a sensitivity to the needs of the people who moved to Eden Prairie to obtain its current benefits. Yet, these needs must be balanced well with broader social and economic needs of a larger "community" of which Eden Prairie is a Part, i.e., the Metropolitan Area, the State of Minnesota, and the United States. Communications should be maintained through the different types of media that would be required to reach the greatest number of residents with thorough and timely information regarding the current events in their community. Environmental consideration appears to be a primary concern of the current residents, and in concurrence with their feelings, the Housing Task Force has stated some specific interests that as an advisory group it would like to see accomplished: 3) The existing natural areas - lakes, bluffs, etc. - should be maintained as open space areas and made available to the public. Every effort should be made to avoid the building of housing developments that close off these areas of interest. 2) The Park and Recreation Commission, Village Council, and other local, regional, or state agencies should encourage community participation in the naming of natural areas. The assistance of a professionally qualified ecologist could aid in this planning. 3) Recognizing the need for and the trend toward multiple units, efforts should be exerted to balance the densities of the living units with the percentage of the development which is kept as open space. 4) Roadways will need to be planned with sufficient lead time to make them compatible with existing and future housing units. 5) New or modified roadways through existing developments should be planned with maximum effort to provide residents with a safe and attractive buffer zone. 6) In most cases, new developments which are contiguous with existing single detached housing areas will be the same. In those situations where it is necessary to mix housing styles, care should be exercised to provide an appropriate transition. Another concern to the current residents of Eden Prairie is a social one, for the words "subsidized housing"creates various images to all people. Increasing social responsibility on the part of suburban communities will stimulate more housing developments for people with low and moderate incomes. Local governments must provide the education necessary to promote a wider and deeper understanding of the programs designed to assist in pro- viding the housing. The existing programs have been subject to abuse in some areas of the country. Local governments must provide the enlightened leadership which will provide only successful utilization of Federal Government programs and must continually inform citizens of their efforts in doing so. PEDESTRIAN/VEHICLE PATHWAY SYSTEM: The value of a Village-wide pathway system would be difficult to quantify, but it can be projected that an inter-connecting pathway system connecting residences with shopping, recreation, and nature areas can do much to develop a close, vibrant community. The Housing Task Force concurs that a maintained pathway system should be established throughout the entire Village. It will allow for the homogeneity that gives life to a social community, it will help the development of physical fitness, and it will help reduce the dependency on the internal combustion engine. In addition, there should be provisions for bicycle routes that also connect the residential areas with local service centers. In respect to the present citizens of Eden Prairie, the Housing Task Force maintains that a system of walkways or pathways should thread not only through areas covered by the Planned Unit Develop- ment proposals, but through older, previously developed parts of the Village. The sites of the pathways should proceed along streams, lakes, and flood plain areas that would ordinarily be unsuitable for development. Avoidance of roadways should be a prime considera- tion in laying plans for pathway locations, and where roadways must be crossed, an effort should be made to build the pathways over or under the roads. STATEMENT ON SUBSIDIZED HOUSING: Eden Prairie has a very real immediate and future need for housing for low and moderate income people. At the present time, almost no housing of this type is being constructed. The average building permit issued in Eden Prairie in 3971 was for a $45,000 home, and the average used home was valued at $33-34,000. Banks and other home loan institutions currently require an annual income equal to half the total cost of the mortgage when granting a loan. Because of this high cost of purchasing a home, it is virtually impossible for those individuals in service or semi-skilled occu- pations to live in the Village. Eden Prairie is, in essence, asking people to maintain the Village services and industries, while at the same time denying them an opportunity to live here. Also, by failing to provide a wider range of housing opportunities, the Village is creating an unbalanced community where many of the elderly, the young,and the economically-disadvantaged are being shut out. Through meetings with various developers and planners, the Housing Task Force ascertains that the least expensive housing presently being constructed within the Metropolitan Area is at approximately the $22,000 level, which presupposes an annual income of from $l 0,000 to$l2,000. The housing experts that have been consulted all seemed to be in accord that, at present, the only feasible way to provide housing for families whose earnings fall below that figure is by use of some kind of subsidy. There are various forms of government subsidy programs available for a builder or municipality to use, the most common one being a subsidy which reduces the interest on the builder's mortgage, thus providing a savings which the builder passes on to the buyer or renter in the form of lower payments. This kind of government subsidy was proposed by builders in The Preserve and Edenvale and approved by the Village Council in August, 1972. They are compatible with Village ordinances and policies. Another possible form of subsidy would be one of a private nature, such as a foundation grant or a developer's subsidy where he would underwrite some of the costs of the less expensive units in his development by increasing the price of the more expensive units. However, the Task Force is not aware of any situation in which either of these methods are being used today. • Assuming, then, that government subsidy is presently the most viable way to provide low and moderate income housing, the Task Force recommends that the following criteria be considered when the Village determines whether to approve a subsidy proposal: l) ',ovation-This is a crucial factor in determining the success of a subsidized project. As much as possible, the project • should be located near a neighborhood shopping area, close to a proposed or existing public transportation system, and near amenities such as parks and recreation facilities. At present, it seems that this criterion could best be met by locating the subsidized housing projects within Planned Unit Development developments. 2) Manaaement - The management of a federally-subsidized housing project is also considered very important to its success. A good management program designed to continue throughout the lifetime of the project should be part of the plans submitted for Village approval. 3) Cuality of housing- Housing within the federally-subsidized project should meet existing Eden Prairie and state standards as outlined within the Uniform Building Code. 4) Developer's commitment -The sponsors of such a proposal should be committed to providing quality housing for low and moderate income groups. Concern should be that the project is a success and continues to attract tenants in the future as well as in the initial phase of the project. 5) Economic mix-There should be a dispersal of income levels within the project itself, with some rent supplement units and others renting at market level,thereby helping to avoid a labeling or negative image of the project. • 6) Housing and Urban Development standards -The project should conform to all standards established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. 7) Other criteria -The project should meet any additional relevant criteria, such as Village Ordinances or Village requirements for scale or open space, which apply to any other developments within Eden Prairie. In addition to observing this criteria for subsidized housing in Eden Prairie, the time factor should also be stressed. It is impor- tant that the economic mix which subsidized housing is designed to provide be included within a development, and within Eden Prairie as a whole, at the earliest possible point. Not only does this set an important precedent, but it also provides a better choice of location and chance of acceptance. 1 In order to implement the recommendations contained in this report, the Housing Task Force urges that Village officials adopt a policy that would insure the provision of low and moderate income housing within the Village. The Council already has an official policy adopted in)970 and endorsed by various civic groups which support a wide diversity of housing costs, but this policy is, at present, difficult to enforce. Some method needs to be found to strengthen this policy. DENSITY: The procedure for determining the right density for a given tract of land and community area, as well as the style of housing, is as yet undefined. Currently each development is considered on its individual merits. The community, however, does have to establish overall guidelines with respect to desired land usage and Village population. Flexibility in unit density is desirable to achieve diversity in housing styles. The density must relate to the natural aspects of a given tract and be in harmony with the general characteristics of the surrounding area. Likewise, density requirements must be coordinated with the provision of services and a rate of growth acceptable to the community. GOVERNMENT - DEVELOPER - COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: Government officials may adopt any of several roles in dealing with local housing development. Whether they choose to be leaders, mediators, or land developers, it is becoming increasingly impor- tant that local units of government be knowledgable regarding the diverse means available to provide housing opportunities. Posi- tive interaction between local government and housing developers in implementing any housing plan is extremely crucial. The gap between housing cost and family income has widened over the past few years, so that along with low income and poor families, growing numbers of moderate income families face a housing crisis today. The Federal, State, and local governments, the housing industry, and private developers have initiated a variety of housing programs and development techniques while striving to alleviate the housing problem. This section will identify and define the combined results of these efforts, comment on community-developer relations, and suggest possible on-going study programs. The Federal Government is implementing several development tools _ to help communities with their current housing growth. It can be expected that both the Federal Government and the housing industry will initiate additional innovative housing proposals. Therefore, a continuing reviewal of new housing approaches and their appli- cation in Eden Prairie is highly desirable. These are a few of the government tools being used today. It can also be noted that Eden Prairie is experiencing some of these at the present time. I) Planned Unit Development-As defined previously. 2) Housing and Redevelopment Authority-The typical Housing and Redevelopment Authority is an independent local agency with a Board of Commissioners appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Village Council. This board has the power to levy taxes to fund its programs. Redevelopment projects and public housing projects are proposed by the Authority but must be approved by the Village Council prior to implementation. Most of the programs carried out by the Housing and Redevelop- ment Authority are financed by the Federal Government. The Department of Housing and Urban Development provides a subsidy for the development cost of housing for low income families, the elderly, and the handicapped. 3) Government Subsidy Programs - A- Section 236: The objective of Section 236 is to encourage private enter- prise to engage in the development of good rental and cooperative housing for lower income families and the elderly and handicapped. As an aid in meeting this objec- tive, the Department of Housing and Urban Development administers an assistance program. The assistance is pro- vided in the form of monthly payments to the mortgagee, on behalf of the mortgagor, to reduce the interest cost on a market rate project mortgage insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Eligible mortgagors must be either a non-profit, limited distribution, or cooperative entity. In this regard, the builder-seller arrangement for rental housing and the investor- sponsor arrangement for cooperatives are permitted. Eligi- bility for mortgage interest reduction payments is also extended to those mortgagors financed under a state or local program that is providing assistance through loans, loan insurance,or tax abatements. Projects should be designed to permit a basic rental charge which is determined for each unit on the basis of operating the project with payments of principal and interest under a I% interest rate mortgage. The tenant or cooperative member will pay either the basic rental,or 25%of his monthly income, whichever is greater. The assisted occupant's payment, however, cannot exceed the fair market rental which would be charged if the project received no assistance. Under Section 236, two categories of projects are con- sidered: these are new construction projects and rehabili- tated projects. In either case, the project must consist of five or more units. These units may be detached, semi- detached, row houses, or multi-family structures. The units may be located in walk-up or elevator structures, but need not be located on contiguous sites.* In addition, the sponsors of the projects must have a mangement program for providing socially-oriented management and related human services. The tenants and cooperative occupants of the Section 236 projects must meet specified income requirements and one of the following: be a family, or single (at least 62 years of age), or handicapped persons (no age requirement). However, 10% of the dwelling units may be for single people under 62 years of age. There are also priorities established to those displaced by urban renewal, government action, or national disaster.** B. Section 235: Home Ownership for Lower Income Families. The purpose of Section 235 is to provide a mortgage to finance construction or rehabilitation of one-family units of: detached, semi- detached,or row houses, two-family dwellings (where one unit is occupied by a low income owner and the property is *Housing and Urban Development Program Guide-"Rental & Coopera- tive Housing For Lower Income Families", United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, September, 1971. **Housing and Urban Development-Federal Housing Administration Assisted Program For Rental and Co-op Housing For Lower-Income Families, Information Source,Administering Office, Housing and Urban Development Area Office, January, 1971. purchased with the assistance of a non-profit corporation), or structures for which a plan of family-unit ownership is approved. (Assistance is provided in the form of interest subsidies-- "Assistance Payments".) The purpose of the Assistance Payments is to bring the monthly payments under the market-rate mortgage down to a level which a lower-income family can afford. The Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment will make periodic assistance payments on behalf of the homeowner to the mortgagee in an amount necessary to make up the difference between 204E of the family's monthly Income and the required monthly payment under the mortgage for principle, interest, taxes, insurance, and mortgage insurance premium. In no case, however, can the payment exceed the difference between the required payment under the mortgage for principle, interest, and mortgage insurance premium and the payment that would be required for principle and interest if the mortgage bore an interest rate of 1%.* 4) Rent Supplements -Rent supplements are additional assistance given to tenants of federally subsidized housing programs who need to have additional financial aid to pay for housing. (Priority of available 236 funds will be given to projects that propose the use of rent supplement assistance.) The tenants must meet the additional eligibility requirements of the rent supplement program. Each municipality decides whether it will allow rent supplements in 236 projects. Public Housing (that which would be sponsored by a local Housing and Redevelopment Authority) is a rent supplement program. 5) Public Land Banks -This is a purely arbitrary term for land owned by a municipality but intended for later development by public or private means. In sector planning, land could be purchased by the Village now, to be developed later into a community center shopping area. It could be held for such purposes and sold to a future developer. There is a possibility that such a role in land purchase could help to keep down the cost of land that would not be developed for many years because of lack of utility service. A developer could conceivably build his project (including the center) and be able to lower the cost of housing units because he was able to save on the cost of land. 6) Community Finances - A. The Village could purchase the scenic easements or *Digest of Insurable Loans, and Summaries of Other Federal Housing Administration Programs, a Housing and Urban Development Guide, March, 1970. desirable nature areas that they now ask donated to them by the land owners of developments. Doing this could cut the cost of the land to a developer with the possibility that he could afford to build housing for those in the middle income range. B. The Village could continue to do comprehensive planning, thus reducing this cost from developer's financial pro- , jections. For the Village to continue this practice, certain questions will need to be answered, such as:what would be the cost to the Village? How'much would the Staff have to be increased? Would reductions in the costs of housing units be evident? Would land costs go up even more after planning and not accomplish the objective of lower costs in housing? C. Taxes-The Village Council could use this government tool in relation to housing- both in present structures and future development. Although the basic control of the property tax is not a function of the local government, some of these are possible in reducing the burden. The following are possible implementations on the local level: )) The utility assessment on homes owned by the elderly could be given relief so that this segment of the Village residents could remain in their homes. Many of the people living in this category are in some of the less expensive homes now. Allowing a reduction in this cost enables them to remain in their homes, pay their taxes, and keeps them off the rolls of those who substantially need subsidized housing. Of course, the question of "How would the cost of these utility assessments be paid for?" would need to be answered. 2) If the Village wished to control its development by determining through utilities where development should occur, it is faced with the question of the feasibility of reduction of taxes on such land. If a land developer holds on to the land for a period of years-- unable to build and paying full taxes -- it is logical that when he does develop it, he will have to have a higher priced development. This situation raises two important questions: First, "What can be done with taxes for such situations?", and second, "How could the Village finances be covered and yet realize the situation of the developer?" 7) Public Development Corporation- In 197), the Legislature of the State of Minnesota passed an act authorizing the City of Minneapolis and the City of Robbinsdale to create development districts within the corporate boundaries of the cities. These two cities were given this task because it was found that there is a need for new development in areas of these cities which are already fully developed. Under this act, the Cities of Robbinsdale and Minneapolis would be authorized to develop a program for improving a district that had such a need for new development. This act was passed with several purposes in mind, such as, providing employment opportunities for Minneapolis and Robbinsdale citizens,improving the tax base for the community, and improving the general economy for the Metropolitan Area. This act also gave the City Councils of the Cities of Minneapolis and Robbinsdale the following powers: a) To acquire property or easements through negotiations; b) To enter into operating contracts on behalf of the cities for operation of any of the facilities authorized to be constructed under this act; c) To lease space to private individuals or corporations within the buildings constructed under the terms of this act; d) To lease or sell land and to lease or sell air rights over structures constructed under the authority of this act; e) To enter into contracts for construction of two facilities authorized for the City of Minneapolis and one facility authorized for the City of Robbinsdale. f) Contract with the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Minneapolis for relocation services; g) To determine the amount of funds, if any, which must be raised through sale of bonds to finance the program for development districts; h) Apply for grants from the United States of America; i) Apply for grants from other sources. 8) It is possible to waive some of the requirements of the munici- pality (planning, services, lot size, setbacks). Lowering housing costs could be encouraged by establishing areas or projects where development variances would be permitted. The question is whether builders would be able to cut the cost sufficiently to make a lower housing cost a reality. 9) The Housing Task Force urges the Council to explore the items listed here and seek answers to the questions raised in this section so that data on these government tools would be available. COMMUNITY-DEVELOPER RELATIONS: In an emerging suburb such as Eden Prairie, where public energies are largely directed toward physical growth, the relationship • between communities and real estate developers commands a high — priority. The shape of community change will be determined, for the most part, by decisions that result from the interaction between the various individuals involved in the decision-making process. The various eas of concern that surface when discussing the problem of community-developer relations tend to spring from the fundamental question of "who decides". The topic under con- sideration might lead one mistakenly to assume that there are basically only two groups attempting to define the character of community life. A more careful look at the two generalized groups, however, provides a more complex picture. The community is actually represented by three sub-groups of decision makers: )) Elected and appointed officials, 2) hired staff, 3) Local residents. The term developer also applies to a variety of different individuals with different interests and expectations. The development process typically includes the following activities: land investment, land use, land improvement, unit construction, unit sales, or property management. A developer may be involved in one, many, or all of these activities. Hence, depending on the nature of his interests, a developer will find his relationship with a particular community to be brief or enduring, passive or active. The primary goal of a developer is to realize a profit in return for expended time and invested capital. The community, in similar fashion, attempts to maximize its access to social and natural resources. Both goals are basically a matter of economics and each is dependent on the other for satisfaction. Yet all groups tend to be suspicious of one another, especially the two generalized groups. The conflict that pervades the various group relationships stems primarily from the fact that personal goal satisfaction is a matter of both costs and rewards, of give and take. Without open com- munication and debate, participants have a difficult time calcu- lating the maleffects or benefits of particular development alternatives. Generally speaking, local residents seek to protect the character of the present life style while the staff has both professional criteria as well as local interests to satisfy. The resident appears more oriented to maintenance of present advan- tages with the developer looking to the future for the client that will provide a market for his product. When given the variety of individual interests and available development alternatives to select from, it is no wonder that disagreements arise in a community that is entering into a stage of great housing growth. These disagreements, although neces- sary, can become too costly an enterprise for all concerned. With this potential danger in mind, five areas of community-developer relations have been isolated as critical areas of concern. The Housing Task Force could study the possibility of Council action in these areas where it is possible that it could substantially lessen damaging conflict and even increase production efficiency. l) Community Change - A policy statement needs to be set forth that will direct development with an eye toward both preserving present expectations of local residents as well as meeting the needs of future members of the community. 2) Criteria for Evaluating Development Alternatives - A more precise system of evaluating mechanisms needs to be established so that basic design decisions can be more frequently removed from the arena of subjective judgment. Objective criteria will increase predictability, cut down on chance and, as a result, produce a more ordered process. 3) Definition of Positional Responsibility and Expectations - As indicated above, there are a variety of different interest groups involved in the process of defining the character of the community. The turbulent nature of the community environment can be lessened by participants being made aware of the extent and the limits of their input. "Who Decides" should be clearly set forth in a policy statement concerning all participants. 4) Negotiating Procedures-A step-by-step system of proce- dures needs to be adopted in order to facilitate the negotia- tions between contesting groups. Timing is an important element in community development, both for the municipality and for the developer. To be able to calculate the relative location of a particular project with respect to completion requirements is essential to a successful development project. 5) Planned Unit Development Procedures- A procedure should be established that would simplify the mechanics of the government tools that are used in Planned Unit Develop- ments. A simplified procedure would save time and money for both the developer and the municipality. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION: In addition to the Housing Task Force, anon-going Citizen Group could be established, open to all interested residents. It is desirable to create enough interest so that more citizens will become involved. To obtain this involvement, representatives could be recruited from each organization in the Village -church, school, civic, and social groups. Homeowner organizations within old and new areas of Eden Prairie could be established and have their representatives in this citizen informational and advisory organization. Although the main objective of this group might be for information and keeping citizens aware of what is happening in the Village, projects in researching areas of interest to the community could result. It would be desirable to send frequent newsletters to all residents keeping them informed and abreast of activities in the Village. HOUSING TYPE S: If diversity is to be achieved in Eden Prairie, in the type and pricing of homes that people desire, then there is a need to allow for the use of a variety of housing types in Eden Prairie. In accomplishing this, stress should also be placed on adapting the buildings to the natural environment. To achieve this, and to best contribute in a positive manner to an overall man-made environment, the Task Froce recommends a judicial use of the following residential types and concepts. The existing concepts as we know them: 1) Estates. Single family home with multiple-use buildings on five or more acres of land. 2) Single family detached dwelling. Single family ownership on approximately 1/3 to 1/2 acre lots. One to two stories with attached garage units. 3) Medium rise. Multiple family structure of five to ten stories. Generally rental units. 9) High rise. Thirteen or more stories, Used where high density is desirable and distant views enhance the desira- bility as family living quarters. Within the past decade,new or re-styled old structures have become popular housing styles or units. 3) Townhouses. These are single family dwellings sharing a common wall. Each family unit is built side by side, and each unit has a private entrance. For a sense of multi- formity and appeal, the townhouses can have a varied number of stories and unit frontage setbacks. In addition, the garages can be attached or clustered. 2) Patio Homes. These are single family dwellings with several variations, but each dwelling will at all times include a dedicated patio area for only the single family use. Some variations could be: 3) Quadriplex, 2) Sixplex, 3)Zero setback, 4) Zero lot line, 5) Townhouses (with patios), 6)Atrium house,or home with a court. Two other dwellings that are associated with a "style" of a home or living unit are the condominium and cooperatives. However, these two types of dwelling units are considered to be more of a type of ownership or management, as described below: l) Condominium. The condominium is a method for separating the ownership of individually occupied units in an apart- ment-like structure, or if applicable, in an office building. This procedure allows for individual financing, buying, selling, insuring, and taxing. A condominium association would own the land, utilities, and shell of the building. The name condominium can be applied to single family homes, cluster homes, or even office buildings in indus- trial areas. 2) Cooperatives. Cooperatives are also a form of ownership, but in contrast to the condominiums, these are a form of home ownership. More specifically, the living unit is not rented and each family owns a share of liability or a share of the mortgage. This share can also be mortgaged. This method allows one to share in the value of a piece of property and to live in a designated unit, but not to own that unit,just a share of the whole complex. Modular Units. The modular unit is a method of construction used in an effort to reduce building costs. Modular units could apply to single family dwellings, townhouses, or office buildings. Mobile Homes. Mobile homes are another form of modular building, but these units are moved into position with their attached wheels rather than lifted into position by crane. Such a method of housing should be studied further with a new concept toward design of how they are placed on location with an effort to fit them into the land in an interesting and appealing manner . However,e , the new laws governing the construction and the new method of taxation on such structures should be studied before any further consideration be given to the establishment of a "Trailer Park". These new laws and method of manufacture may significantly alter the mobile home as we know it today. Campers and Motor Homes. With the wide use of this type of trans- portation and living,there would seem to be future pressure for places to set up temporary living quarters. Some of the retired that live in the warm areas during the winter may wish quarters in Minnesota and Eden Prairie during the summer. Some thought should be put toward encampments similar to the present units like KOA, Dakota, or Holiday Inn Camps. Report of the FlousingAdvisory CommtLtee • • February 1973 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page I.

List of Those Who Appeared Before the Committee 11 THE COMMITTEE AND ITS PROCESS The Metropolitan Council created the Housing Advisory Committee in April 1972.It charged the Committee with recommending housing legislation and changes in the Housing Section of the Metropolitan Development Guide. The Committee decided to focus its study on low-and-moderate income housing. The Committee presented its recommendations to the Metropolitan Council on October 27, 1972,contained in the following report.The chief recommendation—that of the creation of a Metropolitan Housing and Redevelopment Authority—has been adopted by the Council. The following are members of the Housing Advisory Committee,their places of residence and positions: James S.Holmes,Minneapolis,Chairman, Lawyer Phil Cohen,Brooklyn Center,Mayor Peter Engels,Minneapolis,Iowa Securities John Flores,St.Paul,Executive Director, Rio Vista Citizens Planning Council Glen Hanggi,St.Paul,Minister Edward Helfeld,St.Paul,Executive Director,St.Paul HRA E.G.Holstein,Columbia Heights,Dept.of Indian Work,Council of Churches Leo Hudalla,North St.Paul,Northwestern Bell Telephone Richard Jefferson,Minneapolis,Supervisory Chemist,U.S.Bureau of Mines Russell G.Kladis,Minneapolis,President, Kladis Construction Company Charles Krusell,St.Paul,Executive Director,Greater Minneapolis Metropolitan Housing Corporation John J.Kunza,Anoka,Royal Tire Sales Walter Logacz,Columbia Heights,teacher,former Councilman Pat Lucas,Shoreview,Past State Officer, League of Women Voters Gwen Luhta,Minnetonka,Rep.of Joint Legislative Committee Paul Marino,Minneapolis,Director,Legal Aid Society Donald McInnes,Minneapolis,Knutson Company Tom Metzen,Inver Grove Heights,Realtor Cornell Moore,Minneapolis,Vice President,Shelter Mortgage Company I Ruth Murphy,Minneapolis,Chairperson of Housing Committee and Vice • President of Greater Metropolitan Federation j Grant Rhodes,St.Paul,Realtor Model Cities Community Mrs.Timothy Vann,St.Paul,Project Director,Health Program i Nathaniel Seabrook,Minneapolis,Salesman t From the start of its work,the Committee determined a process through which final d.That process included several elements: i recommendations to the Council would be develops —Stimulating extensive citizen cones t and t contact alo aguedeliberstaon of the issues; —Identifying issues raised through —Establishing positions on the issues and tentative recommendations; —Seeking reaction on these recommendations at several public —Altering draft versions of recommendations into a Committee statement. Perhaps the most important phase of the process was the citizen contact dialogue special stimulated by the Committee.Legislators,municipal officials,housing authorities interest groups appeared before the Committee to discuss housing problems and solutions. Officials from 41 municipalities were asked to appear,and out of that number 31 communi- ties were represented at various Committee meetings.By September over 70 persons had been involved in face-to-face discussions with the Committee subcommittees The sub- committees to develop further citizen contact and study part and legislation. committees dealt with municipal s ou ns,through a questionnaire tional sen toaall legislative Another means dialogue was sought ; candi- dates in the state.Forty candidates responded with their comments on housing needs. were the The en of l of those co tacted housingthe issues which Committee ere analyzed in depth.They were development stimulus for the ; lsothem l fourteen primary cming from the Committee. also stimulus of the major proposals I 2 1 Following the development of the proposal for a metropolitan-wide HRA,the Commit- tee returned once again to legislators,municipal officials,and citizens at large for further response in three public hearings.Suggestions for change were received by the Commit- tee at that time and later incorporated in the final legislative proposal that was submitted to the Metropolitan Council by the Committee. PROPOSAL FOR A METROPOLITAN HRA AND BASES FOR RECOMMENDATION The primary recommendation of the Housing Advisory Committee was that the Metropoli- tan Council should seek state legislation empowering the Council to act as a Metropolitan Housing and Redevelopment Authority,with the consent of the local units of government. The MHRA would not operate as a separate administrative board, but rather as a part of the Council itself during the first two years of existence to test the feasibility of that structure. The MHRA would carry out programs in a municipality only after a formal request from the local governing body.Local units of government could continue to establish and operate their own local HRA's or they could enter into cooperative agreerments with the Council. The Metropolitan HRA would have the basic powers of a municipal HRA as provided in Minnesota Statute Section 462.411,The Municipal Housing and Redevelopment Act.The major activities of an HRA can include: 1) Planning,development,and operation of public housing. 2) Planning and administering a leased housing program. 3) Planning and administering urban renewal programs, including rehabilita- tion and redevelopment activities. 4) Acquisition,holding,and write-down of land. 6 Relocat ion assistance for households displaced by public action. Pl 6) Technical assistance to area municipalities and local HRA's. -3- The on-going programs of the HRA would be supported by federal funding.The annual bud- get for the agency would be dependent upon the number of projects being undertaken by the HRA.Start-up costs could be supported by a state appropriation of not more than$250,000. An alternative approach of seeking federal funding to cover initial costs is being explored.If such an approach is feasible,more limited or no state funding would be requested.No prop- erty tax mill is proposed. The proposal further seeks full citizen involvement at the local level in decisions concerning HRA programs in a community. One theme ran through the months of meetings with local officials.Officials said they were attracted to and needed many of the federal housing programs described to them in discus- Mons with the Committee.However,they added that lack of funds to hire specialized staff was prohibitive to operating housing authorities.The Committee determined that a metro- politan-wide HRA,with local consent,would be ari appropriate tool to aid in this problem. In making the final decision,the Committee considered several aspects to the question. First,although over half of the people in the total Metropolitan Area live in communities with HRA's,only 17 per cent of the suburban population lives in communities with HRA's. This means that 83 per cent of the suburban population in the Area has no legal mechanism to provide residents with low-rent elderly and family housing,rehabilitation loans,leased housing,or other federal benefits that should be available to those who qualify regardless of where they live. Second,some of the most attractive federal programs,such as rehabilitation loans,have never been attempted even in those communities that have active HRA's because it is too complicated to attempt without specialized staff. A metropolitan agency could include such staff because its work would be spread over a nuns ber of communities. Third,the most recent studies verify the most crucial housing need is in the low-income group.A metropolitan housing authority enables more communities to respond more quickly to their needs.An example is the Dakota County Housing Authority.Six communi- ties,none of which have local HRA's,within a year's time have become part of a public 1 housing program under the county housing authority.It would not have been possible for each,acting alone,to have created its own authority and developed a program in anywhere near as short a time. And fourth,the metropolitan agency approach enables any community that wishes to be- come involved in public housing or redevelopment to receive rapid direct professional help, but it leaves the choice up to the individual community.For those who want help,it will be available.Those who don't feel they need the help aren't affected one way or another.Com- munities with their own authorities could also benefit from the metropolitan agency by receiving specialized help on particular problems or applications as needed. ANALYSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES AND RESULTING POLICY STATEMENTS Fourteen major issues were generated by comments and opinions of all those who came before the Housing Advisory Committee.These issues were the focus of the primary delib- erations of the Committee.The policy statements below were also developed with citizen comments in mind and were the basis for the Committee's final recommendations to the Council.The Housing Authority was seen as the most effective tool to respond to many of the issues raised. 1. Is the cost of land becoming a major impediment to the development of housing for low-and-moderate income persons? Although many Committee members felt land costs are becoming a major impediment to development,the Committee as a whole was reluctant to recommend a new government program to attack this problem.Recognizing that the recommended Metropolitan HRA would have the power to land bank,acquire land and hold it,it was suggested that the HRA,if created,or the Metropolitan Council staff further investigate the feasibility of that action. 2. Is the new Metropolitan Council policy that proposes that most subsidized housing be constructed outside the two central cities,except for those units needed to meet re- placement and relocation requirements,a sound policy? di- In analyzing this issue,the Committee was concerned with the concentration of subsidized housing in the central city,the increasing need for low-and- moderate income housing in the suburbs,and the need to disperse housing for the socio-economic well-being of the Area.The Committee decided that the Metropolitan Council should seek a reasonable balance of low-and-moderate income housing,including both elderly and family,between the central cities and suburbs,encouraging larger amounts in the suburbs but continuing in the central cities to meet both displacement requirements and the need to provide alternatives to substandard shelter generally.The Committee felt the existing imbalance of subsidized housing between suburbs and central cities could be modified through a Metropolitan HRA which could aid the development of low income housing in the suburbs. 3. Does each municipality have a responsibility to provide housing for a full range of incomes?Are there any communities for which no such responsibility exists? The Committee considered the types of communities in the Area,the ser- vices available to them,the land uses of the communities,the degree of development,employment opportunities,the right of a municipality to determine its own housing standards,etc.The Committee decided that each municipality has a responsibility to participate in achieving the goal of pro- viding a reasonable geographic choice of low-and-moderate income housing throughout the Area.They felt this responsibility could be assisted by the establishment of a Metropolitan HRA. 4. Should a major effort be undertaken to use existing housing to provide housing for low-and-moderate income persons? The Committee decided the Metropolitan Council should substantially increase its efforts to encourage use and improvement of existing housing as a means of providing housing for low-and-moderate income persons. The Committee felt a Metropolitan HRA could aid this goal through use of leasing,rehabilitation and other public programs. -6- 5. Can land use control techniques be developed and encouraged to facilitate the suc- cessful provision of housing for all income ranges? The Committee examined zoning laws,land costs, land density,and use of planned unit development in relation to this question.As the Committee had only limited knowledge of this subject area,it expressed concerns to the Metropolitan Council rather than a specific recommendation.The Com- mittee said land use control should facilitate provision of housing for all income ranges.The Committee held that it is impossible and improper to generalize with respect to land use controls,but urged the Council staff to study land use controls on a community-to-community basis to ascertain the extent,if any,to which such controls are inhibiting the provision of low-and-moderate income housing. 6. Should the state establish a state housing plan to provide a rational basis for housing resource allocation? The Committee asked that the Metropolitan Council request the State Planning Agency to develop a state-wide housing plan for the allocation of federally-assisted housing.Such a plan could provide for a rational balance between outatate and the Metropolitan Area and reduce fears of some persons that an excessive amount of funds would be allocated within the Metropolitan Area. 7. Should the Metropolitan Council establish a housing information and referral service? The construction of a substantial amount of subsidized housing in suburban areas has increased the need for services to lower income persons who,too often,lack information on available adequate housing.The Committee felt the Metropolitan Council should create a housing information and referral coordination service for housing service agencies and community groups. The members also felt the mechanism for implementing the service could be available within a Metropolitan HRA.(The Metropolitan Council has 7 proposed that the 1973 Work Program include funds to provide this infor- mation and referral coordination service for the entire Area.) 8. Is it possible for the private sector to provide lower range housing without federal assistance? The Committee considered HUD's Operation Breakthrough,which was an attempt to develop public and private capacity to produce housing on a volume,industrialized basis and thereby reduce total cost.In light of this and other considerations they decided that it is not currently possible for the private sector to provide a sufficient amount of housing for persons of low-and-moderate income without federal assistance.The Committee mem- bers stated the Council should continue to urge Congress to fund the subsidy programs at a high level.They felt the necessary Federal financial assistance for construction or operation of low-income housing could be induced and channeled through a Metropolitan HRA.It was hoped that the existence of such an agency might increase the amount of Federal funds to the Area. 9. Should the Metropolitan Council be empowered to develop new towns? The Committee members generally agreed that there should be experimen- tation in this area leading to better procedures for providing housing to all income ranges within large-scale projects.They felt there is a need for public agencies to serve as catalysts for seeing that major new large-scale develop- ments include a range of housing by income type in a well planned environ- ment.The members felt that local communities,through their HRA's, should attempt this role,as has been done in Bloomington,and the Metro- politan Council,through a Metropolitan HRA, could lend support to these local efforts.The tools of an HRA are sufficient to conduct this activity. It was felt by the Committee that the Metropolitan Council should receive no additional powers related to this. 10. Does subsidized housing result in home construction of inferior quality? -8- It was felt that given current limitations,the Section 235 program could have difficulties with poor construction.Committee members felt that, although this is a major concern in the production of subsidized housing, the problem was not severe in the Twin Cities area. In its policy statement the Committee said the evidence is not clear that subsidized housing is inferior in quality to market rate units.Furthermore,the Council should not undertake any substantial role in housing inspection as this is the responsibility of local units of government. 11. Is subsidized housing a hardship on a municipality's fiscal capabilities? The Committee felt the issue of impact of subsidized housing on taxes and services is a complicated one.They reviewed both tax liabilities and tax advantages to communities in relation to subsidized housing.The Committee concluded there was not sufficient information to deal with the issues and urged that the Metropolitan Council study the question further. 12. Should subsidized housing be provided as much as possible on a scattered site basis? There was a strong feeling by Committee members that the concentration of units for low-and-moderate income families was unacceptable.They agreed elderly persons seem to find the high-rise approach desirable and hence should be continued. The Committee decided the Metropolitan Council,through its housing policies,should emphasize scattered site devel- opment as a means of achieving a substantially higher degree of economic integration than in the past, and especially should avoid the creation of additional large projects solely for low-income families.A Metropolitan HRA could aid in this,it was agreed,through programs such as leased housing, rehabilitation,and new housing constructed on a scattered basis throughout the Area. 13. Should the provision of housing for persons of low-and-moderate income have priority over other programs needed by metropolitan residents? -9- The Committee decided it is unnecessary and unrealistic to establish priorities for better housing on one hand and local expenditures on the other hand, because the sources of funds for these two purposes are entirely separate. Further,the Committee felt the Federal government should be urged to re- order priorities to assure that more funds at the federal level are allocated to housing in the Area.It was felt a Metropolitan HRA could provide incentive for securing additional housing funds because it would be a regional approach to the housing problem. 14. Is the Direct Housing Allowance program an alternative to existing subsidized housing programs? After considering the first experimental program of housing allowance in Kansas City and its initial success,the Committee decided that Direct Housing Allowance is a promising alternative to existing programs and urged the Council to seek funds for an experimental program here.They felt a Metropolitan HRA could be the mechanism for implementing such a program. OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the study of the National Affairs Subcommittee,the Committee as a whole adopted several recommendations dealing with housing and the Federal government. 1. Congress should re-order priorities to assure that more federal funds are allocated to housing. 2. Congress should increase allocation of funds for leased public housing since the program provides a valuable tool for generating low-income family and elderly housing on a scattered site basis. 3. Congress should reinforce the Metropolitan Council's role of allocating housing resources within the Metropolitan Area and utilizing the federal grants review authority to help stimulate housing initiatives. -10- 4. Congress should provide resources to groups such as the Metropolitan Council and Area housing authorities to support demonstration efforts aimed at providing a full range of housing opportunities in a quality living environment. 5. Congress should increase the cost limitations on the Section 235 moderate-income homeownership program so the Metropolitan Area,as well as the State of Minnesota, will be able to utilize its allocated units. 6. Congress should explore means to provide greater economic integration in use of federal housing tools.

Buildings will be both two and three story structures; those units on the ground level will haws patios while upper units will have balconies. Mr. Sorensen felt there could be a safety problem with just a single entry into the condiminiums, but it was pointed out by the developer that this was a security feature. James Robin, land architect, explained that setting the condominiums into the woods would be the best way to preserve those woods. Scrub growth which has grown on the outskirts of the woods would be removed. Mr. Jones indicated that although there would be no recreatoonal amenities offered, there was a great narkat for condominiums partic- ularly for the empty nester. The price range would be low 30's for a one bedroom to hopefully not over 40's for a three bedroom.

Approval of the Basswoods preliminary plot will allow the platting of the single family lots and streets and 1 alignment of the neighborhood collector streets. I Mrs. Meyers questioned the price range of the homes, Mr. Jones replied that they would be somewhat less than comparable in the area. Single family would be estimated at $55,000 up to $60,000. The Manager asked Mr. Jones when they plan to start construction, he replied yet this fall if weather permits. Mayor Redpath asked Mr. Putnam if the Planning 1 Commission approved, he replied that they did in their minutes of I November 21st with the recommendation that the Basswoods development 1 stages be consistent with the original Preserve PUD plan.

This is a refinement of the 1968 Guide Plan and Preserve Concept Plan. Mr. Putnam told of how this plan had been presented at the Park and Recreation Commission meeting and of the Commission's favorable reaction. Mr. Dick Schwarz outlined their plans and indicated that they were seeking concept approval and comments from the Planning Commission so that they could move ahead +vith assurance. Approvals for development stages would be sought subsequently with road and utility approval to be among the first. Mr. Putnam suggested that the Commission recommend to the Council preliminary plat approval of the Basswood 76 acre mixed residential development in The Preserve with these stipulations: 1. That the development stages for the total 76 acre site be consistent with the original approved P.U.D. densities, approximately six units per acre over the 76 acre site. 2. That a detailed pathway/open space plan be submitted with the development stage application. 3. That the scenic easement along Anderson Lakes be legally acceptable to the Village Attorney. 4. That the individual site plans be evaluated with special attention to the preservation of the natural characthr of the heavily wooded areas. Action Taken: The Commission gave informal approval of the plan rather than formal concept approval. This would permit preliminary approval at the next meeting. The matter was referred to the staff. DATE: January 22, 1973 TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Marty lessen, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: BASSWOODS DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL-- THE PRESERVE The Basswoods Development Proposal as submitted by Mark Z. Jones Associates and The Preserve consists of two parcels. The first parcel (d2) multiple condominium project is 66 units on 4.69 acres. It consists of two large buildings placed in a portion of the densely wooded virgin maple/basswood forest. When The Preserve and Mark Z. Jones Associates initially presented the total Basswoods proposal, there was a good bit of discussion about the need for sensitive land planning in this area to preserve the wooded character of the site. At that time, they talked about doing all they could to preserve the woods and to intrude on them only where necessary and in such a way as to not diminish the overall impact of the forest. This plan seems to be in conflict with that initial presentation. The concept of high density residential on the particular 4.69 acre parcel is justified; however, the placement of buildings on the site in the manner as presented shows an insensitivity to the stated objective of preserving the wooded character of the entire Basswoods area. The placement of the buildings on this site requires that a goodly percentage of the trees need to be razed in order to locate the buildings. While this will help diminish the impact of the buildings on the roadway and people driving past the site, it will do nothing to preserve the virgin maple/basswood forest. From the standpoint of the impact on the wooded environment of the west shore of Anderson Lakes, the staff recommends that this project not be approved until additional study is given to the building location on site d2. The second site presently proposed in the Basswoods Development Proposal is site b. It consists of 28 units on 5.66 acres. These units are of the single family attached design. In this case, the placement of the buildings is such that they have minimum impact on the virgin maple/basswoods forest. They can also be moved around within the site to preserve certain trees that are deemed of higher value than£Qthere. One obvious problem with this type of development • method is t1!at there is far more roadway needed than in site d2. Again Basswoods Development Proposal January 22, 1973 Page Two the placement of the roadway as with the buildings allows for certain movement within the site to indeed minimize their impact on the overall forest character of the site. Also, with the smaller buildings, greater elevation and alterations to the grades for development are minimized. In light of these facts,the staff recommendation is that the Basswoods site b be approved as presented as a reasonable solution to cope with environmental concerns on this site. RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE PLAN: Both site b and site d2 are consistent with The Preserve's overall development concept plan and, thus, are consistent with Village open space recreational open space planning to date. Both provide for pedestrian pathways within their sites, connecting this area with the major park on Anderson Lakes and also connecting up with the more active areas to the west. • MJ:kg . STAFF REPORT Date: January 16, 1973 Applicant: M.Z. Jones Associates Project: Basswoods Site b Request: Rezoning to RM 6.5, Preliminary Plat BACKGROUND: The Basswoods area of The Preserve was approved in concept form in November, 1972, as depicted in M.Z. Jones' brochure. The Council asked that the densities and character of the development follow the intent of the original Preserve P.U.D. Also the preservation of the maple/basswood forest by choosing appropriate building types and site planning techniques must be used in each development phase. IMPACT OF BASSWOODS UPON ANDERSON LAKES; Development of the land overlooking Anderson Lakes can have serious environmental impacts upon the wildlife that flourishes today and the total long-term use of the entire park. The goal which guided the park's initial development was that of preserving the natural wildlife habitats which distinguish Anderson Lakes. The achievement of the first phase land acquisitions is being completed and we are moving rapidly into a second stage. The developments proposed adjacent to the public shoreline can have a dramatic effect upon the lake if many details are not attended to, For example, in the Basswoods, the definition of the park/private boundary is critical to the preservation of the wildlife habitats and, hence, the park's purpose. The Basswoods development (not site b)does influence the park property, the Village, open space, people, and the developers must work out acceptable methods of implementing the Anderson Lakes Park plan. The first step will be a definition or redefinition of the goal for Anderson Lakes Park and set some time and money limitations that are realistic. The way in which the park plan is implemented will determine the success or failure of the concept. I believe that residential development can occur overlooking the Anderson Lakes Park if the proper buffers and barriers are used to preserve the integrity of each system: man and nature. "Site b's" RELATIONSHIP TO REMAINDER OF BASSWOODS: The site is adajcent to the condominium site "d2" currently under consideration for:development. Three buildings border the "d2" site with six or seveh units orienting directly toward the condominiums. • STAFF REPORT • Basswoods Site b Page Two The wet area between "d2" and "b" is adjacent to one building. _ Site "a2"to be developed with the same townhouse unit as used in "b"borders the eastern edge with three buildings oriented in that direction. The East/West Parkway is along the southwesterly boundary of the site. The plan submitted for "b" depends upon a sensitive and coordinated site plan for the adjacent parcels. The condominium site "d2"which introduces building into the woods is only about 55 feet from building 5 in the site"b's" plan. I believe that the proximity of the townhouse and condominium units is much too tight. The solution would be to move these units apart and may be best accommodated on site "d2" with the condominium buildings. Site"a2"will group townhouse units around the little wet area fronting on units 5, 6, and 7 with relative ease. "a2" and "b"are well suited for the townhouse use and utilize natural low areas as focal points and buffers. TRAFFIC: The 28 units on site b are served off the "Basswoods loop street". The proposed cul-de-sac is a private street maintained by the home's association. The turn-around area is approximately 500 feet from the entrance, with an extension to units 6, 4,5 of 200 feet. This distance does not seem excessive for emergency vehicle service. The turn-around should have a 40' diameter turning radius, as proposed, with an island left natural. The proposed road system does not present any problem from my view. PARKING: The V illage requirements for parking are more than satisfied since two enclosed spaces +two exterior spaces are provided next to each unit. Also, 28 separate guest spaces are provided with good proximity to the units. Not specifically indicated on the site plan is the area for recreational vehicle storage. About three or four spaces would be required that could be secured and visually screened. There appear to be many areas where this could be accomplished without greatly altering the proposed plan. STAFF REPORT Basswoods Site b Page Three OPEN SPACE: The units proposed utilize small outdoor private patios which front onto larger semi-private association open space. The semi-private open space is linked to a quasi-public lineal system maintained by The Preserve association which connects this project with other community facilities. The quasi-public systems and nodes link up with the Village open space areas such as the school/park site, just north of the Basswoods or the Anderson Lakes Park south of the Basswoods. Effective use of the total system means that each level of open space must be designed for its specific purpose. For example, the proposed quasi-public path and node between the condominium site and site b is only 55 feet as proposed. The intent of a wooded, passive, subdued, shaded pathway would not, in my opinion, be achieved if buildings are allowed that close together. Therefore, if the purpose of the pathway is to be realized,the site plans of either b or d2 should be modified. An excellent use of a natural open wet area is the southerly one between this site and aZ. Units 6 and 7 orient directly onto the opening and will capitalize on the natural opening in the trees. The design of the private patio spaces must recognize the proximity to other units, the natural vegetation, and direction of exposure. For example, the direction of view and patio space in units 2 and 3 is only 55 feet between buildings or only about 30 to 35 feet between patios. If the vegetation is sufficient to separate these spaces, it would be appropriate; however, the nature of the forest is not of sufficient denseness to permit the privacy and view desired. The choice of unit type within each structure must be carefully evaluated to achieve the desired privacy and view. I believe the private open spaces can be successfully handled when the final stakes are set on site. During the construction process and after completion, the protection of the semi-public areas, all heavily wooded, is very important. The construction of road and building pads should be all that is permitted with small areas near the units that would be landscaped to accommodate family needs. The larger common area should be left as natural woods, without selective thinning or alteration of the ground and understory vegetation. The value of this site is the natural forest and it should be preserved where possible. STAFF REPORT Basswoods Site b Page Four BUILDING/UNIT PLANS: The units proposed seem to be a very innovative design concept that achieves a variety of space s within the units. The two story living rooms and recessed entry areas are desirable features, as proposed by M.J. Jones. However, the primary advantage is the flexibility to move each separate unit within the building to accommodate major trees. I would guess that offsets of 10 feet could be accomplished with the unit proposed. This flexibility allows very exact building siting to be done prior to detailed design so trees can be saved where desirable. SUMMARY: The general building type proposed and site plan seem workable if sensitive building location is used. Relationship to the condominium units proposed on site d2 are not, in my opinion, the fault of these townhouse units. I would expect the condominium building to be moved substantially north, out of the woods. Critical to the success of site b units is the preservation of the "forest character". I will work with the architect and site planner to assist in achieving this goal. RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommend that the proposed site plan for site b townhouse unite located in the "Basswoods"be approved for rezoning to RM 6.5, subject to Village Staff approval of field location for each building. Recommend preliminary plat approval based upon the Village approved "field location" for the 28 townhouse lots on site b in the "Basswoods". DP PRELIMINARY STAFF REPORT Applicant: M. Z. Jones Assoc. Project: Basswoods, Townhouse Site B Request: Site Plan and Rezoning Approval Date: January 2, 1973 From: Dick Putnam, Village Planner Comments: The odd shape of the site is well suited to small (4 unit) cluster development. The road system rings the units and minimizes conflicts with the living areas for each unit. Care must be taken to insure that the site road,which parallels the Preserve Parkway, is well screened from the parkway. The vertical separation of 5 to 6 feet will help, but earth berms and plantings may be needed. Placement of the road and units should be based heavily upon major tree locations and will be exactly located in the field. The proposed 4-plex unit offers rather large square footage combined with individual entry and courts. The interior of the unit offers many desirable features such as vaulted ceilings and interior balconies. The two and three bedroom variety of units should be very desirable in providing for young families and "empty nesters". M.Z. Jones: Basswoods, Condominiums Site D2. Comments: The site has two distinct areas: the meadow open hillside and the heavily wooded knoll and flat area. The original concept presented indicated the desire to build a high quality condominium structure in the open area of the site with the majority of the parking provided underground. The unit style proposed at the concept stage would be well suited for the open area since trees would not have to be removed. The proposed two building plan does have the majority of its mass in the woods. If the trees are not mature species, this would not be as major a concern but since they are and since the townhouses proposed next to the site will be sited around major trees, it would be appropriate that the condominiums might do the same. The parking and site access roads seem to utilize much of the site for auto storage or movement when it Is not necessarily required. The Basswoods Preliminary Staff Report Page 2 single loaded parking and access road is not very efficient and uses up more land than is actually needed. Also, the westerly building is sited only about 35 to 40 feet from the minor Basswoods collector street with the access road for the underground parking between the street and building. • The units proposed are the standard double-loaded corridor type with one floor, single floor units. On-site recreational facilities are kept to a minimum to lower the unit's cost. The lack of pool, tennis courts, saunas, etc. should allow a lower-priced,more innovative unit since the added recreational costs are removed. I question whether this is the case from the plans presented. DP:kg 11 • 't ; yr PLANNING STAFF REPORT PROJECT: Basswoods in The Preserve APPLICANT: Mark Z. Jones Associates REQUEST: Preliminary Plat Approval and Land Use Concept Approval DATE: November 16, 1972 FROM: Dick Putnam, Village Planner THROUGH: Robert P. Heinrich, Village Manager COMMENTS: The Basswoods concept plan has been reviewed by the Park &Recreation Commission with a very favorable recommendation. They endorsed the layout which recognizes the major woodland character of the site and the great vistas. The uses proposed on the separate lots are consistent with the original Preserve P.U.D. Plan indicating mixed residential uses. The Mark Z. Jones proposal uses varied building types to accommodate the site features and provide a varietyof unit types. However, the density proposed of over seven units per acre is in excess of the original P.U.D. approved, which was six units per acre. Approval of the Basswoods preliminary plat will allow the platting of the single family lots and streets and alignment of the neighborhood collector streets. The division of the property into parcels with land use designation will permit M.Z. Jones Assoc. to develop detailed site plans on these parcels. The site plans will be submitted to the Village for development stage approval, more commonly called rezoning. The number of units and their exact layout will be used to determine the acceptability of each individual project. The Village, in approving the preliminary plat and conceptual lend use plan for the Basswoods, is committing the land to those uses without specifying exact density or site plan. By doing so, the developer knows that the suggested building type may be used in a certain area, but unit and site design will determine the final product. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Recommend to the Council approval of the conceptual land use plan and preliminary plat approval for the 76 acre Bas swoosh; area in The Preserve with these stipulations: a.

Mr. Putnam indicated that the price range--low 2O's to mid 30's-- offers something that no one else in the Village has offered. He questions the nix but feels it is necessary. Mr. Fosnocht questioned if this type of development ie appropriate for this area at this time. He asked how Mr. Zachwan could afford such a development when other developers have indicated that they can't. lir. Bachman explained that a broader range of.the market could be reached with the garage option and that younger couples would com- prise that market. If a garage would be required it would have to be located in front because of the natural and manmade amenities in the rear of the home and price would go up. Approximately 880 square fact is finished living space. Exterior storage of recreational vehicles could be worked in addit- ional spaces which would be screened from the development and public street. An enclosed area of equivalent of a double garage would also be available. Mr. Putnam explained that there was no staff report because the project was before the Park and Recreation Commission and they wanted to look into it further.

Ilcnbers of the Planning & Zoning Commission Village of F4en Prairie Eden Prairie Village Hall SUBJECT: Oaks of Redrock, Planned Unit Development On Tuesday, January 9th, The Village Human Rights Commission was given a presentation by Mr. Janes Zachuaan, of Zachman Homes Inc., concerning his proposed development: The Oaks of Redrock. After reviewing, the proposal, it was the Coamission's view that tie project -as far as it met the proven ;rtrO)olitan need for moderate and medium income housing - should be approved with the proviso that a garage be included only as an option, and that it not be a requirement for either the townhouses or zero—lot-line units. It was felt that certain present Village requirements, such as the necessity for enclosed. garages, would add substantially to the price of the unit and thereby place these units out of range of those income brackets that most need adequate and affordable housing. The units will be built in such a way that a two car garage could eventually be built on the lot. The Commission was also of the opinion that the Declaration of Covenants establishing a Homeowner's Association in the Oaks of,Bedrock provide this • Association with the authority to police the area and thereby prevent or stop any homeowners in the development from creating a nuisance or annoyance by leaving motor vehicles, recreational vehicles, boats, etc., in such a manner as to detract from the general character of the neighborhood. The ;Ietropolitan Council, in approving the Oaks of Bedrock proposal for federal subdivision feasibility analysis, described the site plans as livery ,,00d" and further stated that "Council policy states that 'new towns planned • for the area should include frog the beginning plans for residential variety... with a variety of housing types and a range of housing costs.' " We approve this concept and wish to see it implemented in Eden Prairie. V y truly yours t1�a , Robert K. Williams Chairman, Human Rights Commission }' 1 STAFF PLANNING REPORT PROJECT: The Oaks APPLICANT: Zachman Homes, Inc. LOCATION: East of Red Rock Lake on the Seifert farm within Red Rock Sector ACTION REQUESTED: P.U.D. Concept Plan approval, Development Stage — approval, and Rezoning for the First Phase of approximately 16 acres for townhouse development DATE: January 12, 1973 FROM: Dick Putnam, Village Planner THROUGH: R. P. Heinrich, Village Manager BACKGROUND: Zachman Homes Inc. is developing in Inver Grove Heights with townhouses similar to those proposed in Eden Prairie. The Oaks project provides town- houses from $22,000 to $30,000, and clustered homes at $30,000. Mr. Zachman initially contacted the Village eight months ago, about developing townhouses over the entire 80 acre site in Red Rock. The lack of utilities, the delayed schedule for upgrading Mitchell Road, the construction of the new East/West Collector through the Seifert property and other projects Mr. Zachman had proposed in Bloomington delayed the project. The time schedule for The Oaks would have units available by the spring of 1973, with completion of the project in three to four years, if approved. ELEMENTS OF THE RED ROCK PLAN WHICH INFLUENCE THE OAKS: Roads There are two roads within Red Rock's plan, one which runs diagonally east/west through The Oaks which is a collector street intersecting Mitchell Road, East/West Parkway, and Scenic Heights Road. ANorth/ South Collector would follow Mitchell Road on its approximate alignment until it veers to the southwest, south of The Oaks project. The East/West Collector road alignment, indicated in Zachman Homes' proposal, seems acceptable with only a general review. However, exact engineering for alignment, grade and the amount of cut and fill necessary must be carefully examined before final road design approval is granted. The road right of way would be 66 feet and the pavement width and standard of construction should be determined by the Engineering Department. The other significant road improvement within the area would be Mitchell Road to its intersection with the proposed East/West Collector from Staff Planning Report - The Oaks Page Two Scenic Heights south. This improvement would benefit the Hipps, Atherton, and Shelter projects as well. Pedestrian Movement The Red Rock plan indicated three pedestrian corridors that pass through this property. The major pedestrian corridor along the extension of Red Rock Lake to the south of this project must be accommodated with public dedication. The large lowland adjacent to Mitchell Road has been identified in the Red Rock plan as a neighborhood park. This property, about 11-15 acres, shall be publicly dedicated open space to be used in conjunction with the proposed school located within the Village Center site south of the collector.road. The third pedestrian way would be in a northwesterly direction through the site to connect with the small pond on the northern end of the grade and Scenic Heights Subdivision. To facilitate safe pedestrian movement to the public park, it is recom- mended that a pedestrian underpass be installed under the East/West Collector road in the natural drainage swale existing. The connection could enable the elementary school south of the East/West Collector to utilize the large, flat public park as playground area. Another pedestrian underpass would be at the intersection of the pathway to the northern small pond and the tot-lot commons area for The Oaks project. The connection will enable easy and safe pedestrian movement from the northern neighborhoods 1 and 3 to the common areas in neighborhood 2 in the First Phase. Environmental Impacts A primary objective in Red Rock is to develop appropriate housing types and site planning techniques to preserve existing land forms and vegetation. The Oaks site has rolling terrain with a very prominent knoll located in their First Phase. The construction of the East/West Collector and development upon this knoll should take into account the massive hill form. Likewise the low open space area that is the visual focus for the entire northeastern Red Rock area should also be preserved as open field space. The only major vegetation areas on the site occur on the southerly boundary between Mason's property and this site. The trees are confined to the slopes adjacent to the marsh. Likewise the trees along the northern pond are located on'steep slopes and should not be removed. The remainder of the site is rolling farm land that could be developed with relative ease. Staff Planning Report - The Oaks Page Three Utilities Currently water exists along Nitchell Road. An extension of that main along the proposed east/west roadway would serve The Oaks. Sewer is currently being extended with the Red Rock subtrunk for the Hipps, New _ Town, and Shelter Development. The easterly half of The Oaks site is serviceable from this line with an extension. The westerly neighborhoods will have to tap into the southern Red Rock trunk, which will not be constructed until 1975. Community Impacts The Oaks is bordered on the north by single family detached homes, one-half acre lots, in the Scenic Heights Subdivision and by the Hipps single family/townhouse development. Development east of Mitchell Road will build two story rent al apartment units and contains a single family home owned by the Carmodys. South of The Oaks is the property owned by Bob Mason, Red Rock Ranch. A small acreage is north of the marsh and south of Zachman's land, and access must be provided from The Oaks, since access across the marsh is not possible. Mr. Seifert owns 40 acres that have been identified as the Village Center site just south of The Oaks project. A majority of this project falls into the density range identified in the Red Rock plan of 2 - 4 units per acre, indicating a low density residential environment. Townhouses, zero lot line, or detached single family homes, if properly done, could blend very well with the existing neighborhoods. Economic Impacts The Oaks townhouses, which will provide attached single family dwellings for primarily young families with moderate incomes in the $10,000-$15,000 range, offers a housing opportunity that is not present today in Eden Prairie, other than publicly subsidized 236 housing. The Metropolitan Council, in its evaluation of this project, indicated that Eden Prairie, as a third tier suburb, has two 236 projects seeking funds from the Federal Housing Administration. The lack of federal funds and the low priority of the third tier suburbs in the metropolitan housing allocation plan for subsidized units will affect fund distribution, though Eden Prairie more than meets the requirements set by the Metropolitan Council for low and moderate income units. The Oaks does provide an opportunity, as discussed by the Eden Prairie Housing Task Force, to encourage the priate sector to provide housing units that meet the needs of moderate income families. The moderate income, young family is a segment of the housing market that traditionally has not been provided with adequate housing. Eden Prairie, with the exception of the subsidized units, is no exception -- the average unit in our community is priced over$35,000. There are no units with three bedrooms that would offer a price below $23,000. Staff Planning Report- The Oaks Page Four Within Red Rock, the single family homes in the Scenic Heights area would be in the $25,000—$40,000 category with Hipps' homes approximating that range. The townhouses by Hipps and Atherton would be in the $30,000-$40,000 range.. The Old Farm rental apartments by Shelter Corporation have a minimum rent of $185/month and are not intended for moderate income families. The land to the west of The Oaks site is optioned by John Bloomberg, who has proposed expensive townhouse and single family homes on the 50 acres. The expected profile of the resident of The Oaks indicates a young family with few children of pre—school or elementary school age. The location next to the proposed elementary school/Village Center site is excellent for resident services. The taxes produced by homes in the $20,000 price range are certainly not those of the $60,000 and $80,000 luxury class housing. However,with the recent change in the school aid, state tax laws related to commercial-industrial properties and Federal Revenue Sharing, the ability of a community to provide housing for a broad range of income levels, as well as population,will add additional revenues to the Village. It appears that at the density of four units per acre, The Oaks with $25,000 homes would average $100,000 in value per acre. If we were to compare this with the existing housing character of the Eden Prairie area on half-acre lots, we would find a relationship of slightly higher value, if the average priced home is $35,000 in Eden Prairie. The typical buyer for The Oaks townhouses in Inver Grove has approximately 1.1 children per family,or 4.4 children per acre at a four unit density. The average family size in Eden Prairie today with single family homes produces approximately 2.2 children per household, therefore, 4.4 children per acre with one-half acre single family housing. The Oaks project, with four units per acre, does in fact approximate the value and number of school age children of the normal single family development. The Oaks will have a different age family, with younger children. The economic benefits of The Oaks project are no more detrimental to the community than those of the normal large lot single family on a taxation basis and, in fact, may be more beneficial with the Fiscal Disparities legislation. SITE EVALUATION: Size and Composition of Site Tire Oaks project proposed three basic styles of living units. The townhouse, which is an attached structure in groups of four; the single family clustered detached on a small lot; and the condominium unit, with the design unclear_ As proposed in the brochure, the townhouse units would comprise 50 acres of the 86 acre site with 158 mansard-style, flat roofed, units at 5.4 units fper acre and between 80 and 100 gables, or pitched roof, townhouse unit at 4.7 to 3.8 units per acre. The clustered single family comprises 19 acres and 62 units of the site at a density of approximately 3.2 units per acre. The condominiums are proposed on a • • Stsd;Planning Report - The Oaks Pu gc Five six acre site adjacent to Mitchell Road, of which 70 units are suggested at 11.6 units per acre. An 11 acre park in the lowland area rounds out the 86 acres and proposed 390 units. Within the site boundaries are approximately three acres of lake -- the northerly pond and Red Rock Lake itself. If we are to apply our standard for normal density credit, — water bodies do not qualify. Therefore, we would subtract three acres from the 86 acre total in computing an overall density which would leave us 83 acres with approximately 390 units, giving us a 9.68 dwelling units per acre total. The Red Rock plan indicated a range over two-thirds of the site from two to four units per acre, with the average of approximately three units per acre. The remainder of the site is in the five to fifteen dwelling units per acre area on the westerly edge, or lower end of the density range. i A mere evaluation of the numbers would indicate that this site as currently proposed would be somewhat over-developed if the Red Rock plan is followed. Traffic/Parking The East/West Collector street, built on a 66 foot right of way connecting with Mitchell Road, would provide excellent automobile movement through '1'h e Oaks, with little conflict of existing or proposed homes. Likewise, its connection with Mitchell Road and the East/West Parkway will provide excellent access to the major routes of 169 and Hwy. S. The East/West Collector will attach to the west of Red Rock Road,and then up to Scenic Heights Road, connecting to it in the future. The extension of Hiawatha Avenue south, to connect with the East/West Collector may be desirable. An y extension of Hiawatha Avenue would benefit the existing Scenic Heights Subdivision providing a ready access to the elementary school and Village Center site. The intent is to minimize through traffic on that street from an y development in Neighborhood 1 of The Oaks proposal. With the traffic on the public east/west road and Mitchell Road, it would seem that Hi awatha would function only as a local street. Parking as proposed in The Oaks is to be two spaces per unit that are not en closed with the option of providing a two car garage, as well as a few additional spaces for guest parking. The Village Zoning Ordinance requires in projects such as this, that a minimum of one enclosed space pe r writ be provided, and one exterior space with sufficient parking for guests, and secure recreational vehicle storage. The major difference with the Village Ordinance is that the enclosed parking is provided as an option and would not be requited for the owner of the home. As Mr. Zachman points out, this has many advantages from a financing point of view since the cost of the garage space is about$2,700 for a double garage. The additional mortgage payment would be approximately$20 and would require an extra $100 in income to qualify for that unit. The ilatf Planning Report - The Oaks Page Six addition of an extra $100 of income to qualify for financing does create a hardship on those families with a low income. The goal is to provide the best possible living environment for the young family with limited means. There are other methods available to accomplish this by including the amenities and necessities associated with more expensive housing. There are financing plans currently available that would allow a family to postpone payments on a home until later years on a graduated basis; for example,payments would be $2 00 a month to begin and by the end of the 20 year mortgage would be paid at $400 a month. This would enable the young family that has limited income presently to pay a more realistic rate as their income increases. As is normally the case, the problem with purchasing a home is one of financing. The length of mortgage is another factor that determines the amount paid per month and in the long term. For example, with a 30 year morgage and a $23,000 home, you are paying slightly more than double the cost for that unit over that period. This is the primary fact that influences the federally subsidized programs, such as 235 and 236,which subsidize the mortgage interest rates for the builder and the owner. Using the Village requirement of one enclosed space per unit and the experience from other projects, such as St. John's Woods, which are quadriminiums from $25,000 and up and other townhouses built in Eden Prairie, it is apparent that the one garage is required and two garages are preferred by buyers. Therefore, it does seem reasonable that one garage space at a cost of approximately$1,500 per unit could be included within Zachman Homes project. The cost per month of a single garage space on the mortgage would be approximately$1 0 and would require between $40 and $50 a month additional income to qualify. The use of the garage space, we feel, is critical for not only automobile storage but also for such items as bicycles, off season tires, barbeques (off season), and other household items that are bulky and cannot be stored well within the structure. The storage of these items on the patio, though fenced in nd enclosed, is not an ideal situation if that is to be utilized as a family space. For example, old snow tires sitting next to the barbeque is not really the most serene patio space. Likewise the severity of the winters in Minnesota has influenced the market to build, be it single family or apartments, with garage spaces included. I feel the buyer in this income range is no exception. the plan submitted for the Phase One townhouse area indicated garages that front directly onto the private streets with no setback from that street to allow any parking in front of the garages. Also, there are few areas for visitor parking and many of the units are of great distance from them. Staff Planning Report — The Oaks Page Seven It is necessary to provide visitor parking in close proximity to groups of units. Without that, the private system would be clogged with automobiles parked in undesirable locations. EXISTING SITE FEATURES: The site plan submitted for the first phase areas, particularly the townhouse area, does not seem to respect the hill character that is found there. You will notice the road that connects the two loops, goes directly over the knob of the hill at an elevation of approximately 885' and produces a 7%grade if that knob is not cut off. Likewise, the townhouse units stacked along the street on the side hill fall approxi- mately nine feet from one end to the other, which would require staggering the units at least two feet per unit or breaking at four feet in the middle. This is certainly possible to accommodate those slopes, but the plan seems to indicate the hill would be removed and that would be a flat area on top. The lower loop of the street seems to utilize the hillside to produce walkout units rather well. Of concern here is the overlooked characteristic of the top units on top of the knoll over the units that are 10 to 12 feet below them on the lower hillside. The mansard style (flat roof with pitch and gravel)does not, in my opinion, lend itself to the terracing of units overlooking each other. The site plan for the First Phase tends to isolate units into islands surrounded by roads. For example, the units close to the East/West Collector street are surrounded by the roads. Likewise the units on top of the knoll are surrounded by roads on all four sides. The only units that front out onto green open areas are the units on the southern side of the loop. This, from a site planning point of view, does not seem to be the most desirable solution. The clustered single family in Phase One on the north side of the collector street adjacent to the public open space utilizes a short cul-de-sac and is well suited to the land. However, the elevation of the units themselves fall in the 847' range, which is below all other units that are around the lowland. You will notice the Hipps townhouses are all above the 850 elevation. I recommend that close care be given to siting of these units,relating to the poorly drained areas. ; • . j • Staff Planning Report- The Oaks Page Eight SUMMARY: The site is suggested in the Red Rock plan as suitable for lower density single family attached/detached units. The Oaks plan indicates a slightly higher density than suggested in the Plan; however, with proper unit design and site plans, four units/acre could be successful. The exact number of units approved should be based upon exact site plans as the phase develops. The number of townhouses proposed vs. clustered homes may not be appropriate. The townhouse market in the Metropolitan Area is overloaded presently. However,in Eden Prairie, the $23,000 unit is not available and should be very successful. I would suggest a greater number of clustered homes be developed, due to the shifting market today, the number of townhouse units available in Red Rock, and the adjacent character of the neighborhoods. Garage and storage requirements of the Village do not seem to be unreasonable and only require the minimum. The Briarhill and Windslope subsidized projects each have at least one garage space as well as adequate visitor and recreational vehicle spaces. The lowering of a minimum standard, that provides essential space for each family, does not in my opinion best serve the interest of the buyer or adjacent residents. The construction standard required of The Oaks units will be the same as those of any other development. Therefore, quality in materials and construction will be assured through the requirements of the State Building Code. The design of the unit with a flat roof does require special considerations over the esthetics alone. The overlook character from Scenic Heights area should be carefully considered as well as those of project units. My opinion is that the gabled roof would be more appropriate if viewed from off-site areas. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. The East/West Collector road should be designed and sited to maximize views, and minimize any cut and fills that would substantially alter the existing terrain. 2. Construction of the East/West Collector shall meet Village standards and be constructed by the developer. An acceptable Developers Agreement with the Village must be signed prior to any site construction. Staff Planning Report - The Oaks Page Nine 3. Construction of the pedestrian underpass between the park and Village Center site should be part of The Oaks First Phase construction for the East/West Collector. 4. The Village should program improvement of Mitchell Road from Scenic Heights Road to the new East/West Collector. A petition must be submitted by adjacent properties for the improvements. 5. Public dedication is required of the lowland west of Mitchell Road, the public trailways along Red Rock Lake, and north to the small pond. 6. Extensive grading of the site shall not be approved in any of the neighborhood developments. The Phase I townhouse area on the knoll should retain its character. 7. The slopes to the marsh and major vegetation areas should not be disturbed through development. 8. An engineering study shall determine how much of The Oaks project can be serviced with Red Rock Subtrunk. 9. Access to Mason's property south along Red Rock Lake should be provided by a public street through The Oaks project. 10. The Oaks project should conform with the densities indicated in the Red Rock Plan, between three and four dwelling units per acre. 11. The Oaks project shall offer housing to moderate income families, that might qualify under F.H.A."s 235 program. 12. Tl,e Oaks townhouse and clustered single family should provide one 'f f" enclosed garage/storage space per unit and may offer the option of a two space garage. 13. Parking spaces for guests shall be provided near clusters of units or space behind garages should allow parking space. 14. Storage space for recreational vehicles should be provided that is screened and secure. A ratio of one space per 10 units has been used in other projects. Staff Planning Report -The Oaks Page Nine 3.

Staff Planning Report- The Oaks Page Ten 15. The condominium units proposed along Mitchell Road be of a similar height as those of Shelter,Atherton and Hipps. The two story character of the area should be used as a design requirement for the condominium structure. 16. The Oaks project should consider utilizing more clustered single family units and decrease the number of townhouses. 17. Recommend to the Council that the Concept Plan for The Oaks P.U.D. be approved, and included in the 86 acre site would be park, lake, clustered single family detached, townhouse, and condominiums. Approval is based upon specific recommendations previously stated in the Staff Report. 18. The proposed plan for the First Phase townhouse area does not utilize appropriate site planning principles and should be redesigned taking into consideration the grades, circulation system, and visual characteristics of the knoll site. 19. Approval of the Concept Plan does not indicate a specific number of units, but rather reiterates the principles of the Red Rock Plan. DP •s • PRELIMINARY STAl; PLANNING REPORT PROJECT: The Oaks APPLICANT: Zachman Homes, Inc. LOCATION: Planned residential development in Red Rock ACTION REQUESTED: P.U.D. Concept Plan, P.U.D. Development Plan, Zoning for Phase I approximately 16 acres. • DATE: December 12, 1972 FROM: ;rick Putnam, Village Planner THROUGH: R. P. Heinrich, Village Manager The Zachman Homos project, like those of New Town Development, Hipps Construction, and Shelter Corporation is a small scale Planned Unit Development within the entire Red Rock area. The Oaks will utilize the Red Rock sub-trunk sewer that is currently being installed for most of the development area and will utilize Mitchell Road as its primary access. The 80 acre parcel ownad currently by Virgil Seifert is located just south of Eipps Construction Co. and the existing Scenic Heights sub-division. The Commission members would be wise to review the Red Rock Village Plan to refresh themselves on the goals and objectives in the area in which this project is proposed. You will notice the density ranges indicate a 2 - 4 unit area over approximately two-thirds of the site, and the 5 - 15 area on the easterly fourth. The density for the Oaks project is approximately 42 units per acre as currently proposed, which falls between those two categories. It remains to be seen, however, how many specific units are to be placed on the site. The land adjacent to Mitchell Road is low and poorly drained with very unstable soils. It is ideally suited for open space lands and was indicated as such on the Red Rock Guide Plan, with a pedestrian underpass under the east/west collector street to a potential elementary school site. This area will serve as open space for not only the Oaks project, but also the other residential developments in the area. The Red Rock plan indicated the preservation of natural features, such as fluted land forms and vegetation, as extremely important to this area. The site has one extremely large knoll that is indicated in the Phase I area. Care should be taken that the preservation of this land form is not lost by extensive grading or leveling in order to obtain fill. The southwestern corner of the site is adjacent to Red Rock Lake and part of it is part of the lake. The pedestrian greenway along the lake is extremely important to this area and would be preserved with the plan. The 80 acres on which Mr. Zachman has an option have some portions that are water bodies at the present time. The amount of acreage under water would most likely not be counted in any density calculation since these are major ponds. Preliminary Staff Planning Report: The Oaks .I` Page 2 Directly south of Neighborhood 2 is property owned by Robert Mason, which is part of the Red Rock Ranch area. The natural land forms make it impossible for that project to be served by roads without extensive filling of the marsh from the south. Therefore, some arrangement between Zachman Homes and Mr. Mason should be required in order to serve the small parcels of land for building from the north, irregardless of development type. One style of the units proposed, the mansard style, has been constructed in Inver Grove Heights. These units have a flat roof with mansard second story treatment. The units in Inver Grove are selling very well and one would only speculate how that particular style unit would do in Eden Prairie or the southwestern market, which is noted as a higher quality market. The townhouse units proposed, be it gable or mansard roofs, do offer a housing range that is not offered within the Red Rock area, that is, townhouse units from $23,000 up. It must be pointed out, however, that the price of the units will not permit lower quality construction than those of similar units in the area. The population profile indicates that since the percentage of working parents is rather high, that the need for a day care center within this Red Rock area could be expected in the next few years. Without indicating specifically the type of unit proposed, the Oaks project includes a zero lot line, single family detached house on a small 40 to 50 foot lot. Currently the concept is being used at Jonathan by Jonathan Housing Corporation in the gabled houses that are built adjacent to the Jonathan townhouses. Also, Quality Homes and Ban-Con have built zero lot line houses with relative success in the Twin Cities area, and other proposals currently before us (Shelter proposal and Duck Lake/Round Lake area) use the clustered, or zero lot line house extensively. This type of single family housing seems rather consistent with the single family and townhouse units that are available in the area, yet offers a little different twist. The condominium units proposed along Mitchell Road are not defined as to building style, but one would expect them to be no more than two stories in height in order to blend with the surrounding area--Shelter across the street and Hipps to the north. For those interested in visiting the site of Zachman Homes first development, the address is: 3860 Upper 75th Street in Inver Grove Heights, and Jim Zachman would be very happy to show you the project.

Holagren, Clerk • February 8. 1973 TO: Dick Putnam, Village Planner FROM: \tck Hacking, Director of Public Safety SUBJECT: Connecting Road North from Valley View to Kingston and Crown Drive I have riscussed the above connecting road with our Fire Chief and we both would recommend strongly for the construction of a road connecting Valley View at or near Mitchell Road. north to Kingston Drive. We made several driving tests with emergency vehicles driving on the present roadways from the Eden Prairie Fire Station to Kingston and Hof iy Road. By having a connecting road from Valley View and Mitchell to Kingston Drive our fire trucks would save 1 3/4 to 2 minutes in driving time. Any time you can save 2 minutes when responding to a fire cr a medical call it could mean the saving of a home or a life. In our recommendation we would suggest stop signs at the following locations: • 1. Intersection with Valley View Road &Kingston 2. Intersection with Kingston & Crown 3. Existing stop sign at Kingston and Holly 4. Existing stop sign at Hotly and Baker We would also recommend making the connecting roadway (Kingston) a one way road for south bound traffic only from Crown Drive to Valley View. By making this a one way it would almost prevent any • further increase in traffic volume into Kings Forest. In the event of an emergency call, our vehicles would be able to go the wrong way on the one way street under red light and siren conditions. lie feel that due to the present road conditions in Kings Forest and the great number of children that play on or near the streets, everything possible should be done to eliminate any further increase in traffic volume. The connectjng one way road would benefit people leaving Kings Forest and wanting to head south. People coming from the:south into Kings • Forest would be required to drive on Valley View to Baker and then north to Holly Road as they are presently doing. Our driving times as indicated above were done at a speed of 40 MPH. which would be the approximate speed of a fire truck under emergency conditio.;s on the above described roadways. If you desire any further information. I will be at the Council meeting and would be most happy to give my ideas at that time. Excerpt 2/12/73 Park and Recreation Commission Minutes Edenvale 6th Addition-Eden Land Corporation. Commissioner Garens reviewed the Eden Land proposal in the area of the • Edenvale 6th Addition. He stated that whereas Eden Prairie was formerly very north-oriented toward the Hopkins-Minnetonka area, that it will in fact soon be south-oriented because of new development in Edenvale and along State Highway 5 and the Major Center Area. Because of this consideration, Garens stated that he felt the traffic volumes on the Kingston Road extension would not be great to the north,but would in fact serve as a major route to access to major roads to the south. Garens further reviewed potential for trails or pathways connecting the Edenvale 6th Addition and the Kings Forest/Forest Knolls area with the existing Forest Hills Elementary School park. He stated that he and Mary Erickson would not be adverse to granting an easement across their property at the end of Castle Lane and then connecting to Rosemary Road as a pedestrian access to the school park area. • Action Taken: Moved Berkland, seconded Erickson that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend to the Council and Planning Commission I that Edenvale 6th Addition be approved with: a) two internal play areas as outlined in Dick Putnam's memo, b) two trail connections to the north--one along the golf course and west of Kingston Drive, the second through the Castle Lane cul-de-sac across the Garens-Erickson-Ziminski property if possible to Rosemary Road, c) the Kingston Drive connection with appropriate stop sign be included in this plan, and d) that the 66th Street extension pass the school park should be implemented at a later date.

Krini Haugen, 6748 Kingston Drive, indicated she could not find the new route objectionable if traffic would not increase. Speaking in favor of the proposed connection was Bill Garens, 6097 Castle Lane, who felt the road would draw traffic away from the school site and eliminate the danger of having only one entrance into the area. Action Taken: A motion was made by Don Teslow and seconded by Dick Lynch to approve the Edenvale 6th Addition, Single Family Plat based on the following recommendations: 1. Edenvale's 6th Addition single family subdivision must conform with all setback and engineering standards established by the Village in Ordinance 93. 2. The provision of a play space area of 200' or 250' square for snail scale field games should be provided for the area residents. The elimination of a lot or two may be necessary. 3. The drainage and walkway easements on the eastern edge of Edenvale 6th and the site south shall be usable by the public for walkway purposes and shall be guaranteed in the covenants. 4. It is required that Kingston Drive be closed and cul-de-saced. 5. Require Forest Hills Drive to provide access to the easterly properties for possible extension at a later date. 6.

SORENSEN SUBJECT: EDENVALE 6th ADDITION I trust that none of you will feel this memorandum is presumptuous of me nor an intrusion. I am very concerned about an action taken last night by the Planning Commission in the above captioned matter. I should first point out that my opinion is not shared by the majority of the Planning Comnission, as only one other member, Joan Meyers, voted against the recommendation. The area of my concern is the failure to provide vehicular access from the Kings Forest/Forest Knolls area through Edenvale 6th Addition. I wholeheartediy a- gree that residential streets should not carry through traffic. Neither their do- sign nor intended function is consistent with through traffic use. Also through traffic use can present significant safety problems in residential areas, not only for the children but also for adults. Further, i agree that the reasonable desires and wishes of property owners in the area of any proposed development should be a controlling factor in any action taken. I would urge you to take full cognizance of those two factors in your deliberations of this matter. Of the persons who ap- peared at our meeting in this regard, and there were a substantial number, only two, a resident and the developer, ware 1n favor of an access between those two areas. Whiie I am not convinced that a completely open access is the best soiutirn, I do feel that the recommended cul de sac is inappropriate. as it forever, at 1.1a.t in any reasonable manner, forecloses such an access. Another proposed solution was to provide a circuitous route which would discourage through traffic uso. This may merit your attention. It was a proposal of one of the residents. I feel the proper solution may be one which the village has adopted in previous similar situ- ations, such as in Eden Farms. This would entail the preparation of tho direct access link to street specifications, but not surfacing the same and leaving en area of grass or other such ground cover between the surfaced areas of the planned street and the existing one. This area could also have small berms at the ands of both of the surfaced streets. This solution would provide two benefits in my opinion. First, it would permit the opening of this area for residential use at some future time if the residents ever desired it. Secondly, it would provide a present alternate access point for emergency vehicles into Kings Forest/Forest Knolls. Herein lies the area of my concern. It may be that the Kings Forest/Forest Knolls residents may never desire to have the ability to proceed south from their area to other parts of Eden Prairie other than by Baker Road. This really should be their choice as long as they fully realize all of the ramifiations of that choice and as • ,) rl long as a majority of ail of those living in that area make that choice. liewevor, • I do not believe that=se residents should have the ability to deny an alternate emergency vehicle access to the area. While increased traffic on residential streets would present a safety problem, so would a continuance of the single access into that area at Holly Road. By approval of the golf course to the West, access from that direction is gone. The land topography for an additional access point from Baker Road and existing development and cost factors soma to rule that out. An extension of 66th Street would at bast provide a very lengthy and circuitous access point and one would already have been objected to by residents in that area. I don't believe anyone would favor an access street from the North which might permit traffic from the industrial sites into this area as well as time/distance objections. There- fore, by failing to provide at least the possibility of access through Fdonvele Cth Addition, the village wilt have created a 100 plus residence cut do sac. Should anything occur on Melly Road such as the water problems that currently exist Prom time to time or an accident or any other incident which blocks iieiiy Rood, curry ney vehicle access would be needlessly delayed. Time is very important in fighting a fire or in getting medical attention to a heart attack victim or a p^rson with any acute medicai problem. The village has • responsibility to promote :.nd protect t he public safety of its residents. I am informed that the Forest Knoiis/Kings Forest residents ere currently paying • higher fire insurance premiums because of this sit- uation. In essence I believe that some solution must be found to provide an alternate access into this area. I would think that the through traffic problem could be adequately dealt with by various methods to keep the safety problem in that regard to a minimums. I respectfully request that in your evaluation of Edenvaie 6th Addition, you give whatever consideration you deem appropriate to the concerns I have expressed herein. You hays my permission to use this memorandum in any way you believe ed— visible, including reading it at the hearing if you desire. Thank you for your time.

This area, as well as the GreeresAddition, which was a six lot single family plat in Edenvale's northernmost corner next to King's Forest,were the only proposed single family areas within Edenvale's 850 acres. Since the market has been changing over the last few years, there have been other areas that are proposed for single family within Edenvale, but this is the largest area of single family housing currently proposed. The original EdenvaleP.U.D.,approved in 1970, indicated a loop road which is now known as Golf View Drive, and would link the single family area and the multiple area west of the golf course to Valley View Road. Also indicated was a connection or an extension of Kingston Drive to the south, connecting to this loop road. The revised land use plan for Edenvale, approved in May, 1972, indicated the loop road and the single family area and the realigned golf course, as well as a poteriisl connection road between Baker and Golf View Drive directly east of the single family area. The connection with Kingston Drive was felt to be important at the time of this approval in May, and was part of the discussion. The land use planning for Edenvale has eliminated the proposed accesses from King's Forest to the west with the golf course and the Greenes Addition, and the only southerly or westerly route out of King's Forest now is found in this single family area south of King's Forest. There- fore, it is felt by Eden Land Corporation that maintenance of such an access point to King's Forest is of extreme importance. The inclusion of this access or extension of Kingston Drive south was requested by the Village during the initial P.U.D. submission and the revised P.U.D. submission, with final determination of location and alignment to be established at the time of the platting of that area. C Staff Planning Report- Edenvale 6th Addition Page Two RELATIONSHIP WITH EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD: Edenvale 6th Addition, platted as a single family subdivision with aaprox. 13,500 sq.ft. lots, is consistent with adjacent development to the east and north. King's Forest Subdivision, with homes in the price range of $35-60,000 on lots of from one-half acre to more than an acre in size, is a very fine quality residential area today. To the east is Forest Knolls, which is a single family subdivision with lots of one-half acre to slightly over an acre in size of similar quality and character to that of King's Forest. Between Forest Knolls and Edenview to the south is approximately 400 feet of essentially vacant land to be used for residential development in the future. To the southeast of the Edenvale 6th project is Prairie View Subdivision, which has one- half acre or greater lots in the $35-45,000 price range. The single family area is bordered on the west and south by the 7th fairway of the golf course and a pedestrian pathway leading up toward King's Forest along the golf course from the convenience center. Also directly south along Golf View Drive is the Shadow Green project approved for Mark Z. Jones, which has the three story with underground parking apartments. East of Golf View Drive and south of the Edenvale 6th Addition is a block of land of 131 acres slated for attached single family or townhouse development, yet undeveloped. The proposal for Edenvale 6th of single family detached homes in the $40,000 and up price range in a rather conventional single family plat seems to be appropriate from a physical standpoint with the existing community. Likewise the families that would be living in this area would seem to be similar to the existing family makeup of the Forest Hills area. CONFORMANCE WITH EDENVALE P.U.D.: The Edenvale 6th proposal for 87 single family detached lots is consistent with the accepted P.U.D., approved in May, 1972. 100 units are allowable on the 36 acres at a gross density of 2.8 units per acre. This plat with 87 units platted in a rather conventional fashion would satisfy the approved Village P.U.D. plan. The final plat for the Edenvale 6th area should conform with the Village subdivision ordinances related to platting of single family lots, in relation to setbacks, lot areas, street widths, and pavement construction standards. PROXIMITY TO COMMUNITY FACILITIES: The 6th Addition's proximity to community facilities could best be described as it relates to two areas: recreational and Village services, • and commercial facilities. The recreational facilities that are available • . Staff Planning Report- Edenvale 6th Addition Page Three to the future residents of the Edenvale 6th Addition are primarily public open space uses, such as programmed recreation at King's Forest Elementary School, located approximately one-half mile northeast of this site. The recently completed elementary school at Forest Knolls also includes a 25 acre playground area with ice rinks, game fields for softball,football, and other open space field uses, as well as hard- surfaced play areas for basketball and hard-surface games. The distance of one-half mile is not an inordinate walk for children if that walk is carefully selected. Currently,however,the entire King's Forest/Forest Knolls area must utilize streets to move children to this elementary school. Eden Land Corporation has indicated it would be willing to provide a pedestrian walkway along its eastern border with Prairie View and Forest Knolls areas if it could be continued on a northerly line between King's Forest and Forest Knolls up to Holly Road where it would cross and enter the school park area. It would thus provide direct access on a safe route for the children of Prairie View and southerly King's Forest as well as Edenvale 6th Addttion to the elementary school site. There will be a nature study area in the Marsh-Midwest Terminal area as well as on land along Nine Mile Creek, between Baker Road and 494, which has been donated by several landowners and N.S.P. This would be Just to the east of the Forest Knolls elementary school and would be very accessible to the residents of this area. Of similar character will be the marsh and large open space area associated with Purgatory Cree k in the northwest area of Edenvale, which is approximately three-quarters of a mile to the west. The 6th Addition of Edenvale would not be in close proximity to developed, active recreation areas, such as tennis courts or swimming pools, usable by the public. Currently the closest tennis courts would be at Round Lake Park, approximately 12 miles away, or possibly the developed courts in Edenvale's northwest area, approximately three-quarters of a mile from the subdivision. The addition of courts at the King's Forest school is possible, however. The development of active recreation areas for the Edenvale northeast area is entirely possible within the golf clubhouse • area. However, the proposed makeup of the housing units within this area is condominium and rental apartment in nature, and this type development will often have its own recreational facilities provided. The small scale recreational areas, such as tot lots or small game fields, should not be necessary within a single family subdivision such as this which does provide yard areas for each unit. However, there would seem Staff Planning Report-Fdenvale 6th Addition Page Four to be some advantage to providing play spaces that are usable as active children play spaces of sufficient size to permit ball throwing or sandlot baseball or football games for children. The size of the lots,at the minimum of 13,500 sq.ft. and width of 75-100 feet, does not permit large enough areas for active play. Therefore, it would seem appropriate to provide at least one and possibly two areas within Edenvale 6th Addition or at close proximity to it that would provide open areas of the size of 150 feet by 201_250 feet for limited scale field game space. This area of Edenvale is well serviced by commercial facilities. At the smaller scale, the neighborhood center proposed in the Shadow Green project will be approximately one-quarter mile to the south and easily accessible by pedestrian pathway or automobile. A short distance further would be the Fdenvale Plaza Community Center which would include a major supermarket as well as a junior department store and other services associated with a community shopping center of 150,000 sq.ft. Slightly more than 21 miles away will be the Homart Regional Center, located in The Preserve, which will provide a vast array of services associated with a regional commercial mall as well as other regional diversified center functions within the Eden Prairie Ring Route. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION: The basic question within the Fdenvale 6th Addition subdivision is the connection between Kingston Drive and Golf View Drive within Edenvale. It has been a recommendation of the Village that this connection be required of Eden Land Corporation in developing this area to provide a second access for the residents of King's Forest to Highway 5, Valley View Road, and Baker Road_ The extension of 66th Street by the school to connect with Baker Road will most likely be accomplished in the near future; however, that will not serve the southern residents of King's Forest. The major question raised is the increased traffic on Kingston Drive and Holly Road by connecting Kingston Drive to Golf View Drive within Edenvale. It is a contention of some residents that the connection with Edenvale would encourage the traffic within Edenvale's northeast area to utilize Kingston Drive and Holly Road for their movement to the north, and it is their contention that the number of trips from the total development of Edenvale would be substantial and, in fact, overload their street system. I would ask that the traffic study for Edenvale's Staff Planning Report- Edenvale 6th Addition Page Five Golf View Subdivision, submitted by Don Peterson, president of Eden Land Corporation, be reviewed as it does, I feel, do an excellent job of projecting maximum peak hour traffic generations, given some — very liberal assumptions on direction of trip movement. The basic question, I feel, is the desire of those residents within the Edenvale multiple projects proposed west of the golf course and this single family area to go north along Baker Road and, secondly, the time distance factor in routes of getting there. First of all, it is my opinion from looking at the regional highway plan for the Crosstown, 494, 212, and Highway 5, that the vast majority of the movements made by residents of this area will be to the arterial routes going east toward the Southtown/494/35W areas and northeast to the downtown core of Minneapolis. To accommodate these desires, the residents of this area will have basically one choice as to high speed access to the freeway to the north, and that will be at the north series of half- diamonds at the intersection of the Ring Route or approximate location of Valley View Road and 494, which will permit access on 494 north. At some point in time, the access of Baker Road, which currently has a full diamond iaterchanSe at 62nd and 494, will be eliminated when the Crosstown is extended past 494. Hence, Baker Road would only have a bridge structure over the Crosstown with no access. The most direct way to get on the major interstate systems will be through the south movement to Highway 5 and from there on to 212, or easterly to Valley View Road and the Ring Route to one of the freeways, either 494 or 212 to the north connecting to the Crosstown. The policies regarding arterial streets in Minnetonka, which does not recognize the four lane capacity of certain roads, will tend to reduce the move- ments along Baker Road to the north, particularly when the congestion through the residential areas around Co. Rd. 3 and Highway 7 become critical. Also, it is my feeling that the majority of trips made will go south on the Village arterial streets of Valley View Road and Baker Road/Mitchell Road, either north or south, and by proper signing along residential streets such as Holly Road with the addition of extra. accesses, the through traffic can be eliminated. Therefore, it is my recommendation that I would concur with Mr. Peterson's analysis of the traffic generations and would encourage the connection of Kingston Drive to Golf View Drive for the benefit of the King's Forest residents and to provide a shorter and faster route for emergency vehicle service to this area and greater convenience for the residents of King's Forest. As you can see, the connection of Kingston Drive is not required for the Edenvale proposal, but is, I feel, in the best interest of the Village to require this connection. • Staff Planning Report- Edenvale 6th Addition • Page Six PRELIMINARY PLAN ANALYSIS: A great deal of the site has been used as a gravel pit area and, hence, the site has been altered. The grading required for this project should not prove detrimental to the plan's character as it exists. The few groves of trees,whichdo exist primarily in the northeastern portion, should be retained with this proposal. Many of the lots proposed will have excellent views over the golf course to the southwest if the general land elevation is maintained as proposed with approximately a 40 foot drop from the northern end of the site to the southwest. The lotting concept seems very workable with the streets proposed and primarily cul-de-sacs off Golf View Drive. The connection of Forest Hills Road with the adjacent property to the east would seem appropriate whether this road is extended to Baker Road or whether it is extended only partially and dead-ended or cul-de-sac'd. Since this is a standard single family subdivision located within a large planned unit develop- ment, the lot sizes vary from 18,000 and 19,000sq.i1.to under 13,500 sq.ft, The smaller lot sizes are compensated for by the grouped open space areas as well as the frontage on to the golf course and other large amenities. The reduction in the total lot size, however, does not alter the subdivision requirements in Ordinance 93 as to side yard setback and front yard/back yard setbacks. The standard subdivision regulations would apply to any of the lots to be built within the Golf View Subdivision of Edenvale. To maintain some usable open space, it would seem appropriate that around Lots 19 and 20,where there is a triangle of open space southwest of Golf View Drive, perhaps one lot may be eliminated along that street to provide a more substantial common space area. This change could produce an open space area of over 20.000 sq.ft. that could be used for construction of hard-surface play facilities such as tennis courts, or a general field area for this subdivision area. There have been four or five alternate solutions to the Kingston Drive connection with Golf View Drive sugge stud by Mr. Kingrey and Eden Land Corporation. There are three basic alternatives to this connection. Alternate 1 would close Golf View Drive as it would cross the golf course and leave the Kingston Drive connection as it is, thereby eliminating any of the western units from using this area. This would present problems in length of cul-de-sacs, particularly on the west side of the golf course. The second alternative would be to close Kingston Drive and cul-de-sac tits street,thereby denying access to King's Forest residents wishing to go south. This has many apparent drawbacks that were previously discussed. The third alternative would involve realigning the Kingston Drive connection to meet Vale Court. This realignment would connect Kingston Drive through a cul-de-sac I . Staff Planning Report- Edenvale 6th Addition Page Seven to Golf View Drive. This has the disadvantage of creating four rather abnormal lots as well as creating an additional stop-short street distance for those moving from the King's Forest area south or from the Eden Golf View area north. This also puts extra traffic and turning movements on this corner. The alignment of Kingston to Vale Court would affect more lots than Just the four lots surrounded on three sides by street, but would also diminish the desirability of the lots on Vale Court and on either side of the Kingston Drive extension, due to their odd shape and difficult orientation. Edenvale proposes two solutions: one is to close and cul-de-sac Kingston Drive and Forest Hills Road, or to extend Kingston Drive to Golf View Drive but not to Vale Court since they feel it would not be an appropriate planning solution. I would recommend that Kingston Drive be extended directly south as indicated to Golf View Drive with the stipulation that traffic stop signs would be installed at appropriate locations along Kingston to keep the traffic speed low as well as diminish any desire to use Kingston as a through street, either going south or north. SUMMARY: The plat proposed with homes that will range in the price range of from $90-50,000 of a rather conventional nature with some grouped open spaces does provide the necessary space for the Edenvale pedestrian pathway systems as well as providing excellent private single family living environment. The concern for the through traffic, using Kingston Drive going north, is a valid concern by the residents and should be considered by the Planning Commission and Council. However, from a planning and traffic engineering point of view, the problem does not seem to be of absolute numbers or congestion as expressed in the trip generation analysis. I feel the concern expressed by the residents is one of personal interest based upon individual experiences, and therefore should be considered by the Commission. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Edenvale's 6th Addition single family subdivision must conform with all setback and engineering standards established by the Village in Ordinance 93. • . • • i Staff Planning Report- Edenvale 6th Addition Page Eight 2. The provision of a play space area of 200' or 250' square for small scale field games should be provided for the area residents. The elimination of a lot or two may be necessary. 3. The drainage and walkway easements on the eastern edge of Edenvale 6th and the site south shall be usable by the public for walkway purposes and shall be guaranteed in the covenants. 4. Require the Kingston Drive connection, as proposed by Eden Land Corporation, to Golf View Drive with additional stop signs placed at Crown Drive and Golf View Drive intersection with Kingston Drive. 5. Require Forest Hills Drive to provide access to the easterly properties for possible extension at a later date. 6. Initiate discussions with residents in Forest Knolls, Prairie View, and King's Forest to decide if a pedestrian easement can be secured from Holly Road south to Valley View Road. The connection of the school to the surrounding neighborhood is important to the neighborhood concept. 7. Recommend rezoning to RM 6.5 in conformance with the plat submitted and revised for approximately 13,500 sq.ft. single family detached home sites. 8. Recommend preliminary plat approval subject to the suggested changes in the Staff Report dated January 31, 1973. The changes are to be approved by the Staff according to the Planning Commission's recommendations.

Brauer & Associates, Inc. was retained to provide plans and specifications for the required facilities and supervise bidding proceedings. Final plans and specifications were reviewed and approved by the Village staff. The project sdvertised for bids includes: 8" sanitary sewer laterals, 6" water laterals, street surfacing, curb and gutter and storm sewer all of which are located within dedicated rights-of—way. Alternate bids were requested on items required for deep-strength bituminous streets and standard gravel-base bituminous streets with bituminous surface for price comparison purposes.

ENGINEER'S REVIEW OF BIDS SUBMITTED The above bids have been audited by the Engineer for accuracy of totals and reviewed for "reasonableness" of unit prices. Competition, judging from the number of bidders, was excellent resulting in what appears to be excellent prices, some being substantially lower than bids from 1972 construction of similar projects. ASSESSMENT OF PROJECT COSTS Construction and other costs associated with the Project will be assessed to Hipp's Construction Company over a three-year period in accordance with the terms of the developer's agreement. ENGINEER'S RECOMENDATION The Engineer recommends that the Base Bid work and a modified Alternate A be awarded to the apparent low bidder, Northdale Construction Company. Alternate A calls for deletion of gravel base and addition of bituminous base for streets. Alternate A should be modified by deleting the bituminous wearing course for streets until all construction in the area has been completed some three years hence. Final surfacing would be accomplished by the developer before the Village would accept street maintenance responsibilities. Total estimated contract cost with modified Alternate A will be $151,982.00. t II c • BRAUER & ASSOCIATES, INC. 72-122 2/2 r PARK & RECREATIGt 1.. • January 22, 1973 Page 3 • o r • I • 3.

The commission directed that the Village undertake a traffic study of County 18 and West 78th Street to be concluded within the next • two waits.enyrbiei :FF RTTORT To: Planning Comm is sio❑ Date: January 16, 1973 Subject: TRAFFIC PROBLEMS ON WEST 78th STREET IN EDEN PRAIRIE From: Dick Putnam The project by McAllister Properties on the north shore of Anderson Lakes stimulated nunerousyuestions by elected officials and Ensign Road residents relative to traffic problems on West 78th Street. The residents at the public hearing, held January 7, 1973, raised the issue that construction of 160 dwelling units which utilized West 78th Street would overload the intersection of 78th and Co. Rd. 18. The Council asked the Staff and Planning Commission to again examine the situation. On Sunday, January 14, I met with approximately 12 area residents at the home of Mr. Richard Sampson, 8048 Ensign Road, to discuss the McAllister Properties project and general planning influencing their area. Many subjects were discussed ranging from the future and goal of Anderson Lakes Park to the traffic on West 78th Street. The concerns of the residents about the amount of traffic using West 78th Street from#18 to old#169 is a valid concern that the Village should consider. First of all, the residents are right that the amount of traffic on West 78th is excessive, especially since very few people live on the street. During 1972, the volume was over 5,400 average trips per day as recorded by Hennepin County. If you will refer to Graphic A, you will notice the volumes on the other roads in the area. A brief review of the volumes and direction indicates the reason and original destination of the 5,400+trips on West 78th. I believe that the traffic problems at West 78th Street will be solved in the long run (10 to 20 years) by the construction of the major freeway systems proposed uJT the immediate solution must be resolved. Today the problem is obvious -- through trips use West 78th to hypes s the complex and inconvenient connection of 494 and the Crosstown to #169. Today, trips from 494 to#169 are difficult since there is only anon—ramp east to 494 and the movement off 494 to #169 must be made at the interchange and transfer to T.H. 5, then backtrack to#169. Needless to say, it is not a convenient movement and motorists have discovered a short cut that is fast and a scenic drive. West 78th Street is taking the place of a westbound off-ramp for#169 and 494 as well as others that choose to use the#18 and 494 diamond interchange rather than the east- bound ramp at*169 due to the design of the "WYE" intersection. • 1212ORT Traffic Problems-West 78th Street Page Two Of greater impact is traffic from, the Crosstown, and southbound on#18 which use #169 and T.H. 5 going west and south. The connection of Crosstown and 494 with the new 212 diagonals is not complete so that _ the fastest and easiest route from the north is south on#18 to West 78th and then to 4'169 or T.H. 5. You can see why West 78th, a short section of road connecting 418 and #169, has become a major thoroughfare route, not by design but by accident. Recognizing the problem that has developed on West 78th raises the question: will the addition of 160 housing units along West 78th produce a worse situation? There is little doubt that the addition of 800 to 1,000 trips to West 78th would only increase the peak hour congestion., particularly at its intersection.with#18. however, it is my opinion that the problem is not with the proposed new development, but with the through traffic using West 78th as a temporary convenience route. Therefore, I believe an examination of solutions to the through traffic problem would be more beneficial to the area residents. NCET) IMPROVEMENTS: Graphic B 1. To eliminate the westbound 494 to#16 9 traffic on West 78th,a westbound off-ramp should be constructed from 494 to#169 to complement the existing on-ramp. This improvement is necessary for the I-Iomart Center to open and should be constructed by early 1975. The highway department has tentatively OK'd the design and concept. 2. Opening of 212 from Crosstown to 494 will relieve many through trips from West 78th that originate from the north and east going south on#169 and T.H. 5. The construction of the freeway is nearly complete and should be open for traffic in 1973. 3. Redesign of the intersection of#169 and West 78th at the WYE would encourage east and northbound trips to use new 212 and 494 at the new ramp rather than West 78ih to#18. Timing on this upgrading of the intersection will be based upon Homart's schedule • but should occur when#169 is upgraded to four lanes by 1975. Construction of the Major Center Ring Route from 494 to T.H. 5 will encourage shopping center-bound trips to utilize the major freeways and not overload local streets like West 78th. The south segment of the Ring Road must be open by the summer of 1975 for Homart to open. • • R%PORT Traffic Problems -West 78th Street Page Three 5. There are other stop-gap measures, such as reduced speed limits, signing, and temporary vacation that could be employed to reduce the through traffic. However, with the aforementioned improvements, these should not be needed. LONG TERM: The Ensign Road area will be an island surrounded by freeways and lake when Co. Rd. 018 is upgraded to freeway as projected. The tine of this improvement is indicated as 20 years in the future. The improvements to;i18 in the interim period will certainly require widening, minor realignments, and some signals. The volume south of 494 or. #18 today is now 2 ,600 A.D.T. and will increase as the Preserve and Bluffs areas develop. The future of West 78th Street could involve the removal of access at 418 when the freeway is built with either a bridge connecting to the frontage road in Bloomington or dead ending West 78th at Ensign Road. W'nen the freeway is built, Ensign Road will not have access and will utilize West 78th to the west. The freeway improvements, 20 years in the future, will require either a full cloverlead with 418 and 494 or a high capacity directional interchange. 494 can be expanded to six lanes and*169/#18 is scheduled for four lanes at this time. The construction of these 1 improvements will require additional land, which may take some homes in the Ensign Road area. A long-t erm improvement to the Park may be the acquisition of the homes fronting onto the lake for park. Just as Minneapolis is slowly buying all the homes left on Cedar Lake, 15-30 years from now this could be done along Ensign Road. CGS!VIENDATIONS: T;ic McAllister Properties, Anderson Lakes P.U.D. will not, in my upimon, cause major traffic problems along West 78th Street. The CAUSE of the high peak hour volume is THROUGH TRAFFIC which I believe will be redirected to new routes in the next few years. The building time table for most of the road improvements are coordinated with the Elomart Center to open by August, 1975. The 212 diagonal should be open by mid-1973 which will relieve a great deal of the through traffic. • _ L STAFF REPORT Traffic Problems -West 78th Street Page Four Important is the timing of the Anderson Lakes P.U.D. construction. If past experience is a guide, the concept plan approval would indicate at least 11 to 2 years before the units are ready for occupancy, and then about 8 months to a year for sale. This outline is optimistic, since the building type proposed has not been built nor designed in the Metro Area. The time-lag for road improvements and A.L.P.U.D. building schedule seem to compliment each other. I would suggest that the Anderson Lakes P.U.D. be approved in concept as recommended in the original Staff Report. Further, I would suggest that the Village jointly work with the County Highway Department and the City of Bloomington to discourage through traffic on West 78th by providing the alternate routes previously described.

P. Heinrich SUBJECT: PROPOSED LIQUOR LICENSE ORDINANCE The attached draft of the Liquor License Ordinance dated February 8, 1973, will have its first reading on February 13th. I believe it is your desire to set a public hearing on the ordinance before the second reading is scheduled. Under definition of terms, "hotel, the phrase -- on the ground floor -- was retained. Hotel registration offices or desks are not required by building codes to be located on the ground floor. I think this requirement is based more on historical precedent than for other reasons. Subd. 12 under definition of terms was added, defining "age of majority". Subd. 9 on page six of the original draft has been omitted. On page eight, a sub-paragraph was added under Subd. 4, clarifying beginning construction requirements. Subd. 7 on page nine was modified to increase and clarify the investigation fees. Subd 3. on page twelve was expanded to cover seating capacity as well as minimum area. Subd. 19, establishing a non-discrimination clause, was added on page fourteen. Section 1-112, hours of operation, on page fourteen was changed by reducing the hours of consumption on premises from 1:30 a.m. to 1:15 a.m. Reference to the age of 21 was changed throughout the ordinance to the term "age of majority". Additional copies of the proposed ordinance are on file in my office and will be available for distribution as the Council desires.

At the time of filing an application — foreitheran "on sale" or an "on sale club" liquor license, the applicant shall file with the Village Clerk a liability insurance policy which shall be subject to the approval of the Village Council. The insurer on such liability insurance policy shall be duly licensed to do business in the State of Minnesota, and the insurance policy shall be approved as to form and execution by the Village Attorney. Such liability insurance policy shall be in the amount of not less than$10,000 coverage for one person and$20,000 coverage for more than one person, and shall specifically provide for the payment by the insurance company on behalf of the insured of all sums which the insured shall become obliged to pay by reason of liability imposed upon him by law for injuries or damages to persons other than employees, including the liability imposed upon the insured by reason of Section 340.95, Minnesota Statutes.

Adopted by the Council of the Village of Eden Prairie M`day o�'� . Paul R. Redpath, Mayor ATTEST: Edna M. Holmgren, Clark February 9, 1973 MEMO TO: THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL THROUGH: ROBERT HEINRICH, VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: WAYNE SANDERS, BUILDING INSPECTOR SUBJECT: EXPLANATION OF FIRE ZONING, OCCUPANCY AND TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION It can be shown that the costlier land may be, the fuller use owners wish to make of it. In many instances in your community it may even be uneconomic to make less than the fullest use possible of more precious parcels. We find, therefore, high den sity of development usually accompanying high valuation of property. Of all parts of a coiruni' ', the downtown, business section, or core, best displays this sore of development. Business sites are dear compared with other i ..d, and developers would perhaps wish to erect multistory buiicii; s on them with little or no unoccupied space. A lot may have bug 10,000 square feet of ground area,yet a high-rise building erected n the lot may have hundreds of thousands of square feet of usab'.e, income-producing floor area. Densely developed areas, you would expect, have multistory buildings bui+t w.th complete, or near-complete, lot coverage. In the event of a fire, combating the blaze would be somewhat handicapped; the buil dings may only have street front access, and in addition, fighting fires in upper stories is infinitely more difficult. Additionally, high density areas tend to have grester vehicular traffic making it more difficult to move and locate emergency equipment, such as fire- fighting trucks. Thus: high land values extreme density of land development and potential traffic problems add up the high-hazard possibility of a general fire or conflagration. Long fire experience has shown that the incidence of a fire spreading from building to buil ding is sharply lessened in such portions of the community when a hi gher degree of fire protection is required and the more hazardous uses are excluded. This is considered to be within the fire limits and is classified as Fire Zone No. 1. On the other hand, many areas in the community have a low density of development. Buildings seldom exceed two stories in height, there is considerable open space between buildings, and street vehicular traffic is as light as any place in the community. Conflagration possibility is at a minimum. Generally, such districts include the residential areas. They are classified as Fire Zone No. 3, and are outside the fire limits. fr Page 2 Perhaps some areas of the community are not thought to be of as high a hazard as Fire Zone No. 1, yet are of a higher hazard than Fire Zone No. 3. The co .unity may elect to designate these areas as Fire Zone No. 2. They are outside the fire limits but better fire protection is provided than in permissive Fire Zone No. 3, but less than in highly restrictive Fire Zone No. 1. They also serve as a buffer or transition between Fire Zones No. 1 and No. 3. At the time building regulations are enacted into law, the community is divided into fire districts as noted above, based on the best cpin'.3.1 of the community officials familiar with these matters. Fire zoning and the Fire Zone Districting Maps are part of the building code and must be enforced accordingly. The plan reviewer must determine in which Fire Zone the building is located so as to verify that the required fire protection is supplied and that the building's use is not excluded due to special hazard. Occupancy For purposes of the building regulation, the use to which the building is put is referred to as its Occupancy. Unlike the use of the building (planning and zoning), which is more concerned with functional com- patibility and aesthetics, the Occupancy relates to the kind and degree of i;azard housed in tr.e building. For example, you would expect a distillery to be more hazardous than a potting shed; or a discotheque than a warehouse. The plan reviewer is required to classify the building according to hazard into an appropriate Occupancy grouping. Type of Construction The Occupancy is considered by hazard; the building itself, housing the Occupancy, is considered by its capacity to resist the hazard. This is the Type of Construction classification. Our interest lies • here in (a) the kinds of building materials used in the building, and (b) the rate of fire resistance of various parts of the building and the building as a whole. Construction or construction material may be classified as combustible or noncombustible, and unprotected or fire resistive. An exposed structural steel element, for example, will not ignite or burn, but it is not capable of supporting its design load under the attack of fire for an extended time period without failure. it is non- combustible and unprotected. A masonry wall element i s noncombustible and fire resistive. A wood frame wall, properly framed, with 5/8-inch thick Type "X" gypsum wallboard installed properly on each face is combustible and fire resistive. The same wall with plywood panelling in place of the gypsum board is combustible and unprotected. A noncombustible fire-resistive building, it is evident, has a greater degree of firesafety than a combustible unprotected building and therefore should be considered more hazard-resistant. As you might expect, these higher Types of Construction have certain advantages and privileges under the building code with respect to permitted floor area, height, and inclusion in Fire Zones.

I am recommending that our Public Safety Department participate in the Alcohol Safety Action Project under the following cond- i ti ons: 1. We will provide one man and one patrol vehicle every Friday and Saturday night starting February 16, 1973, from 11:OD P.M. to 3:00 A.M. 2. The Alcohol Safety Action Project will pay The Village of Eden Prairie $7.70 per hour for the Officers time. 3. The Alcohol Safety Action Project will pay the Village of Eden Prairie at the rate of $0.10 per mile for the use of our vehicle. 4. The Alcohol Safety Action Project will pay our officers at the rate of $7.70 per hour for all related Alcohol Safety Action Project Court time, resulting from DWI arrests during the above time, as stated under item I. 5. This will provide our village with 8 additional hours of police coverage per week. The Alcohol Safety Action Project is concerned with removing the drinking driver from our highways, however they have no objection to this car taking calls in the village should our regular car be busy on other calls. I feel that this is a most important program that will greatly benefit the Village of Eden Prairie and will help to make our highways safer. I will be at the council meeting to answer any questions that you or the council may wish to ask.

Only after calls or complaints were received did we dispatch Tonka Kennels to pick up dogs or to patrol an area of the community. A total of $494.00 was expended in 1972 for this minimal service. This method did not prove to be satisfactory and the 1973 budget appropriation of $4,500 reflects the Council's opinion based on Staff recommendation, that regular dog patrol service should be instituted. Several animal patrol services were investigated by the Staff before deciding upon recommending the contract with Metropolitan Animal Patrol Service, Inc. A copy of the contract and a brochure on M.A.P.S.1, is attached. Animal control is under the supervision of the Public Safety Director. Mr. Hacking's memo to me regarding this contract is attached. RPH/1j1 • • • January 19, 1973 TO: Bob Heinrich, Manager FROM: Jack Hacking,' SUBJECT: Dog Patrol Contract Keith Wall end I have made two personal insnections of the Metropolitan Animal Patrol Service, Inc. facilities at 506 11th Avenue North in Minneapolis. On our first visit we did not approve of the way the dogs were marked for identification when they were hrought into the kennel. On our second visit this was corrected and now meets our approval. On both occasions the dog runs were very clean. We went over the record system completely and feel it is very adequate. We feel this kennel is a strong improvement over the previous Tonka Kennels. I am, therefore, making a strong recamnendation to you and the Council to approve the enclosed contract at the Council meeting on2/13/73. We have had numerous dog complaints in the past month. We must provide a dog impounding service as soon as possible. We will continue to make periodic checks of the kennel and our car will be working closely with the dog catcher. If you desire any further information, please call me. I will be at the Council meeting to answer any questions. • JH/sr CONTRACT This agreement made this , by and between Metropolitan Animal Patrol Service, Inc., a Minnesota Corporation, hereinafter referred to as M.A.P.S.I. and the Village of Eden Prairie ,a Municipal Corporation located in the County of Hennepin, and the State of Minnesota hereinafter referred to as Village, witnesseth: In consideration of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, is mutually agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows: 1.

EDEN PRAIRIE REACTION TO THE TRANSPORTATION POLICY, PLAN AND PROGRAM SECTION OF THE METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT GUIDE, PRESENTED FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON NOVEMBER 9, 1972. DATE: November 15, 1972 PURPOSE: To Identify Major Issues That Influence the Orderly Development Within the Village;Also, Comment Upon — the Metropolitan Council's Approach to Transportation System Planning for the Metropolitan Area. Coordination of planning and implementation for all transportation systems within the Metropolitan Area is of paramount importance to all municipalities. The great costs associated with transportation, both fiscal and physical, require positive implementation that is proper frc'io an engineerins/planning, view and political view. The Metropol, an Council is ideally suited to coordinate all transportation planning agencies within the seven county area and will be able to work wit;', other regional planning districts now forming around the state. V.e support the concept of metropolitan planning of transpor- tation systems and urge all agencies and governmental units to cooperate with the Metropolitan Council in implementing the policy plan and program. COMMENTS ON DEVELOPMENT GUIDE RECOMMENDATIONS: The Development Guide Committee's priorities for transit planning are evident in its first two recommendations: that transit provide service to people, and that opportunities be expanded for those that are transit deprived, It seems obvious that the functions of transpor- tation should direct the planning and program proposal of any transit system. Looking at past transportation planning in the Twin Cities area, one must reflect on the lack of concern for the basic function- to provide people mobility. The Development Guide Committee and the Metropolitan Council should be complimented for putting this need first. The third recommendation, that transit be expanded and improved in a defined program that allows for improvement in evolutionary technology, is a far-sighted recommendation which will nourish future transportation, Recognition by the Development Guide Committee that future movement within the Metropolitan Area cannot be accommodated exclusively by the automobile and its related modes is a major break- through for any governmental body. If a new and implementable transit program develops which complements the existing hierarchy of auto- mobile routes, it is our feeling that a unique transportation system will be possible for the Metropolitan Area. The coordination of highway expenditures with other transit expendi- tures within the Metropolitan Area, state, region, and nation is a logical way to proceed. In reading the Development Guide, one TRANSPORTATION: METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT GUIDE November Y7, 1972 Page Two does not understand tee mechanism for this coordination. Would this be through the existing agencies, such as the Highway Department, or would there be a new coordinating agency established, perhaps a — State De,--.)rtment of Transportation. The "freeing up" of the highway trust monies would certainly provide the capital to enable a total systems „pproach for a coordinating department. It is not clear from the Guide what relationship the Metropolitan Council would have with any nigher coordinating agency. At a different level, the recog- nition in recommendation seven, that the transit and highway system complement local movement systems, is a fact of life, yet the exact mechani::::. for this coordination and systems planning is also unclear. Recomme..dation twelve's assertion that alternate approaches to transportation be taken, such as offsetting working hours, car pooling, or transi.ridership has been overlooked for many years. Close cooperation between governmental agencies, municipalities, and the private sector is essential to achieve a staggered and realistic trans- portation demand that will greatly reduce congestion. One attitude expressed throughout the Development Guide is that the movement system, whether it be auto, mechanized transit, pedestr.,.n, bicycle, and/or activity center transit comprise one unit within the total infrastructure of the Metropolitan Area. So often the goals and objectives of the transportation system have been imposed over requirements of other systems: parks, employment, orderly development, extension of utilities, residential neighborhoods, and numerous other social, physical, and environmental concerns. The transportation section of the Guide Plan responds to the interrelation of these various functions while defining the role that transit must play in urban life. Recommendations thirteen through twenty-six address themselves to critical areas which major transportation investments serve and problems that they generate. The impact of transportation corridors through sensitive areas is considered in recommendations ten through twelve and seventeen through nineteen. These may be socially oriented, such as neighborhoods or communities as well as major environmental preserves. With the acute awareness today of the needs of the environment along with those of man, these recommendations are the vary cornerstones of any transportation system's plan for this Metropolitan Area. We strongly support the stated objectives in these recommendations. TRANSPORTATION: METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT GUIDE November 15, 1972 Page Three Transportation systems have always shaped the settlements of America, whether they be the early cities that were conceived at a pedestrian scale, or the later towns that stretched along trolley lines,or the modern cities that sprawled out with the automobile. Today with our automotive-oriented culture, we face a danger that our Metropolitan Area will be expanded to the point that it cannot efficiently serve the needs of its residents. Recommendations thirteen, fourteen and fifteen point up the importance of the transportation system in shaping and controlling the developments within the Metropolitan Area. The need for logically staging and phasing development within the Metropolitan Area is obvious. Development is a multi-level process incorpo: ting utility extension, federal housing programs, or commercial- industrial growth, all of which must be supported by transportation developments. Throughout the process, the sincerity, competence, and commitment of some higher governmental body will be questioned by the local community directly affected by the project. Past experience with governmental assurances and previous developments will determine the attitudes harbored by the citizens. For example, let us illustrate a particular instance using the Southwest Sector, including, Jonathan, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, Edina, and southwest Minneapolis. A great deal of development is already completed in these areas, particularly from Edina toward the central city;a pattern, or urban network, has been established in these locations. To impose a large right-of-way transportation system over the existing street grid in these areas would be both difficult and non-productive because of present development. There is a different situation as we move from west Edina through Eden Prairie, Chanhassen, and Jonathan, where we have vacant but rapidly developing land. A large portion is highly planned by large private interests. The three large-scale Planned Unit Developments within Eden Prairie, each over 1,000 acres, and Jonathan, the private New Town of over 5, 000 acres, are private investments that have been assisted by numerous governmental agencies. Any transpor- tation system proposed for the Southwest Sector must respect these past commitments to development. To consider a transportation system for this vicinity by proposing that growth be reduced or completely eliminated would be unrealistic and inconsistent with previous commit- ments, existing transportation systems, and development pressures on this area. Yet with these factors in mind, the Development Guide proposes one basic solution to transportation within the Southwest Sector--extend the Crosstown/212 through the area. This area, exploiting changing residential development patterns, shopping patterns, and other major elements of urban life, offers such potential for development of a transit system to augment the automobile. Yet of startling significance is the lack of a deep commitment to transit within the Southwest area. Only the provision of express buses along two routes is proposed by 1990. TRANSPOitTATIOIT:METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT GUIDE November 15, 1972 Page Four The Eder, ::airie Major Center Area, developing around the 494 and 212 intercha:: covers 1,000 acres. Plans call for automobile and other transporc,ion modes to provide an efficient movement system within the Maja: Center Area itself and its secondary influence area of - 4-5,000 :,cares. The local municipality and developers recognize that the autocile alone cannot meet the transportation needs surrounding this diversified center and planned community; this position must be reinforces: with a metropolitan commitment. The fact that the individual communii:as cannot accomplish their transportation schemes by themselv.:5 was pointed out by consultants analyzing the transportation demands „.Eden Prairie's Major Center Area. Howard, Needles, Tammen <<. Bergendoff (transportation consultants)are currently studying ,.e potential transportation demands for the area from Jonathan the Eden Prairie Major Center Area along 212. Utilizing the curt-E..... proposals for automobile movement along the major arterial r: .tes and any transit proposed,it has become readily apparent ', .at this sector is at least one-third over-developed or, in other words, it's suffering from grossly inadequate transportation facilities. In the present proposal, the trips generated by the projectec: ,.ses compared with the proposed transportation system do not comp:.,ment each other. Again, the proposal is one of exclusive automobil.-: movement. As the Council Guide Plan suggests, transportation should be instru- mental in shaping dovelopmnet, and I feel this relationship works in both directions. For example, the planning approach being used in Eden Prairie is that of sector planning, surrounding the Major Center Area at 494 and 212. The automobile routes are concentric and connect to what we will call "clustered neighborhood development". Within the neighborhoods, pedestrian orientation to activity nodes, such as elementary schools or limited commercial facilities, is currently being developed. Jonathan, developing in a similar manner, utilizes many New Town concepts in its planning and clustered development. Thus, mass transportation within these selected innovative areas is not only possible,but extremely desirable. However, the Metropolitan Council suggests that areas outside of existing urban development be shaped and controlled by road systems. Perhaps another alternative is one that utilizes a transit system in conjunction with roads to shape and work with development. Of course, each community realizes that it cannot provide a transit system within itself, that in fact it must be a part of the greater metropolitan system, serving the needs of the transit rider. The fast link systems proposed by the Metropolitan Transit Commission utilizing limited corridor, high capacity systems may not be the answer. Likewise, a Metropolitan Council suggestion for exclusive right-of-way transit that does not serve the Southwest Corridor seems to limit the transit proposal TRANSPORTATION: METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT GUIDE November 15, 1972 Page Five possibilivies in this sector. The municipality feels that the total transportation system currently serving the Southwest Corridor and its relation to the Metropolitan Area transportation system should be studied, taking into account all movement systems. This assessment Is necessary prior to the proposal of any new systems which would complement the existing systems. Important components of such an analysis would include the evaluation of existing routes and their potential for service to the area in the future; an assessment of land develop:.,ent type and most appropriate means of serving the sector as it develops with a variety of transportation options; and con- sideration of the regional diversified center at the intersection of 494 and 212 by 1975 in conjunction with the proposed corridor locations of 169,212, and 62 Crosstown as they cut across the Soutnwest area. One would expect that this broad type of study would hove been completed prior to the corridor hearings of the 169, 212 study. Unfortunately, this is not the case, in that the corridor study considered only those two routes. The municipality would expect a sector transportation study to focus particular on State Highway 5 and its relationship to the feeder :,ystem for the Metropolitan Area. The proposed realignment of 62 Crosstown to diagonally slice through Eden Prairie as a functional connection between the Crosstown at Co. Rd. 4 and State Highway S west of Eden Prairie has tremendous impact upon our community and is cause for concern. Likewise, the alignment of 212 and 169 with respect to State Highway 5 and Highway 7 is of metropolitan impact and, in particular, local sector impact. Overlooked in all of the major corridor analyses has been the impact of local transportation within the sectors. Eden Prairie, as well as the other communities within the sector,will require safe, efficient, and practical local movement systems to accommodate the non-metropolitan transportation needs. Important to this is the development approach presently directing this sector, an approach committed to creating communities which are not bedroom suburbs, bur rather semi-self-contained, small cities that offer the wide range of services, life styles, and employment opportunities to its citizens. Implementation of the Development Guide proposals for transportation within the Metropolitan Area should be preceded by the detailed analyses of transportation problems within the specialized sectors of the Metropolitan Area. These problems should then be evaluated as a part of the Metropolitan Area System Total Plan. Just as the Metropolitan Airport Commission Systems Plan provides for continuing modification and further refinement based on planning studies of various airports,we feel that the Transportation Plan must be expanded TRANSPORTATION: METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT GUIDE November 15, 1972 Page Six and analyzed so it responds to sector or special area problems. Again I must emphasize that we of the sector stretching north to Highway 12, extending west past Jonathan and Chaska, reaching to the communities south of the Minnesota River, extending east to the west Bloomington area, and into the central city through Edina urge consideration as a total element in some form of sector trans- `— ponation study. The problems within this area -- extending into different counties and different municipalities, identifying different transportation priority districts-- contribute to the non-coordinated approach to transportation which has characterized the past. Coordination of major freeway systems in this sector would be a major accomplishment, yet we would hope that a total approach would lead to innovative ways of dealing with the development of truly function.,l transportation/transit systems that will be workable from the local level to the metropolitan level. Initiation and implementation of such a sector study would entail many agencies, such as the county, state, and local highway departments. Also, input by the Metropolitan Transit Commission, Metropolitan Council, local municipin governments, major developers, and consultants would be essential to coordinate such a transportation planning program. The day of isolated corridor studies that disregard other major arterial corridors, as well as local street functions, has passed, and its passing should improve the state of transportation. Perhaps the first step that may be taken is a dialogue between municipalities and various agencies concerning the process of analyzing transportation demands on a system basis within limited geographic areas, We as a Village would be more than happy to undertake this organization, • yet would hope that the Metropolitan Council would be instrumental • in coordinating such a joint effort. SPECIFIC COMMENTS UPON RECOMMENDATIONS IN SYSTEMS PLAN: The concerns expressed thus far are general in nature, yet of particular consequence to Eden Prairie. We would like to respond to the Metropolitan Principal Arterial Plan System status in 1990. As a village located at the hub of major freeway configuration with 212, 169, and now the Crosstown meeting at I-494, Eden Prairie has a transportation problem of major significance. The intent to minimize damage to existing communities with diagonal freeway alignments and minimum spacing of three to five miles is not the case within Eden Prairie with the new corridor alignments. The lack of coordination between the 169 and 212 corridor alignments and the seemingly unrelated functions of Highway 5, Highway 7, and the Crosstown throws the Village of Eden Prairie into a very difficult position at this time. In studying the northwestern sector of Eden Prairie, we find that the intention of extending the Crosstown TRANSPORTATION: METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT GUIDE • November 15, 1972 Page Seven • diagonally through Eden Prairie to State Highway 5 appears very workable as a concept, but in reality --considering the physical • development and ground forms --becomes exceedingly difficult, if not impossible. The corridors of 212 and 169 have been established, and at this point, the consultant design engineers have requested specific recommendations from the Village indicating preferred location of alignment of interchanges within the 2,000 foot corridors and access preferences throughout Eden Prairie. The present resources at the communiy's command do not enable us to respond to these major questions to the degree that the Staff feels necessary. We have identified numerous related factors to investigate: trip assignments and generation, land use considerations, impact of transit routes within the area, local and county-wide arterial road systems, interior community collector street systems, and the Ring Route area around 454/100. Because of the complexity of the transportation system within Eden Prairie in the southwest corridor, it is extremely difficult and perhaps inappropriate for us to respond right now to the overall systems plan for the Metropolitan Area or individual freeway locations in our community. We request more information concerning the entire sector area and its transportation needs and problems. Therefore, Eden Prairie's response to the Metropolitan Council is one of concurrence with the concept of coordinated transportation system's planning, but requiring that all agencies and municipalities within the sector work farther to define the objectives, needs, and constraints within this sector and establish a definitive and realistic plan for implementation of the needs, based upon service by numerous modes of transportation. • ' • -Qt r.t".

SCOPE OF THIS STUDY This study reviews the following proposed improvements: a. Construction of trunk watermain in Scenic Heights Road from Mitchell Road west to Hiawatha Avenue. b. Construction of Atherton Road including necessary water and storm sewer lines from Mitchell Road easterly to the proposed East—West Parkway. c. Regrading, paving, construction of curb and gutter and storm sewer in the existing Mitchell Road right—of-way from the intersection of Scenic Heights Road and Mitchell Road south to the south line of Section 15. LOCATION OF IMPROVEMENTS The proposed improvement locations are shown on Plate 91 attached to this report. METHOD OF STUDY Data pertinent to preliminary design of the proposed improvements and for assessment of their economic justification were gathered by the consultant. Project design criteria were reviewed with the Village staff for consistency with Village standards. PROPOSED SCENIC HEIGHTS ROAD TRUNK WATER MAIN The proposed 16" watermain will begin at an existing 16" stub of the 20" watermain located in Mitchell Road and will extend west along the south side of Scenic Heights Road to the east side of BRAUER & ASSOCIATES, INC. 1 C4 Hiawatha Avenue, a distance of some 1,200 lineal feet. The proposed project also includes watermain, appurtenances such as an air release valve and fire hydrants and provides for restoration of Scenic Heights Road surface after the main has been installed. The proposed 16" main will provide immediate service to the lateral watermains being installed in the first phase of Hipp's Mitchell _ Heights Planned Unit Development and will provide service to the Ray Mitchell property located on the southeast corner of Scenic Heights Road and Hiawatha Avenue. Costs of the proposed 16" watermain are estimated as follows: 16" D.I.P. Watermain 1,220 1.f. @ $14 $17,080 6" D.I.P.

Costs of the project, if authorized, will therefore be financed along with other currently authorized trunk watermain extensions. PROPOSED ATHERTON ROAD CONSTRUCTION The proposed project includes construction of Atherton Road from Mitchell Road east to the approximate alignment of the proposed East-West Parkway, 8" watermain extending the entire length of Atherton Road with required appurtenances and storm sewer required for drainage of surface water. The roadway and required utilitea have been requested by Shelter Development Corporation and New Town Development Corporation. The proposed roadway is to be 28' wide between curbs with 7-ton pavement strength and concrete curb and gutter. The roadway will serve as a primary access to residential developments by Shelter Development and New Town Development for residential traffic. No parking will be allowed under these conditions. BRAUER 6 ASSOCIATES, INC. 2 1 The proposed 8" watermain will serve as a common lateral for the residential developments adjacent to the roadway and will provide looping to a trunk watermain which is anticipated in the future East-West Parkway. Costs of the proposed project are estimated as follows: 8" D,LP.

PROPOSED MITCHELL ROAD IMPROVEMENTS The proposed improvement includes upgrading Mitchell Road from the Scenic Heights Road intersection to the south line of Section 15. The project includes improvement of grades, construction of 36' wide pavement with curb and gutter and construction of storm sewer for surface drainage. After consultation with Village staff a 36' width and 9 ton pavement strength are proposed. The proposed improvement will be located entirely within the existing Mitchell Road right-of—way width of 66' which is sufficient for the proposed 36' pavement. It is anticipated that Mitchell Road will become a major route to the future Red Rock Village Center to be located in the Starring Lake area. The proposed width and strength will serve anticipated traffic volumes if the entire length is designated for no on-street parking in either lane. • BRAUER b ASSOCIATES, INC. 3 Storm sewer is proposed where necessary to drain confined low areas in the roadway.

P. Heinrich FROM: Dick Putnam SUBJECT: FAIRWAY WOODS 1. Edenvale does not want advertising signs in front of their $5,000 monolith. 2. Edenvale's sign/graphics system will provide excellent directional signs to all development in the P.U.D. 3. I believe that granting any special use permit for such signs could only create citizen/government problems that are entirely unnecessary. 4. The Fairway Woods sign was ONLY granted as a TEMPORARY measure until Edenvale could place the permanent signs. They have not done this yet. Therefore, since they have had over four months, it was proper to ask Fairway Woods to remove their temporary advertising sign. 5. Certain citizens have expressed displeasure of the advertising signs along T. H. #5 and stated that they do not conform to Eden Prairie's sign ordinance. They are. correct, and we might recommend to the Council changes of enforcement of the existing ordinance. Sugge stions: 1. Ask Edenvale to submit and have approved the total sign package/graphics for Edenvale and establish firm time schedules for construction. 2. Allow Fairway Woods to put their 4' x 6' sign at the corner of Martin Drive and Mitchell Road at the approximate location of the Edenvale directional sign to be constructed in the spring of 1973. 3. Es tablish policy that the Village Staff may use for all development signs that restrict their placement to on-site locations, NOT on all main Village roads.

I believe that cost of you have visited our project and are aware that it lies some 'distance off and to the north of County 1..oad. No. 5 on a street that draws very little of the traffic that carries potential purchasers. 1 Since the commencer.ezt of the project, we have had a 5a17.. (approximately 4' x 6') project identification and directional sign at the junction of Highway 5, and Kitchell Road. While we have loyed bill board and other advertising media to attract people to our project, our experience to date indicates that the small sign at Highway 5 is a vitally important part of our efforts co attract potential purchaters. Additionally, the sign is of invaluable assistance to suppliers brining goods and services to the site, and even with the existing sign we still encounter frequent difficulty in -suppliers locating our project. We also find, to our definite advantage and we believe to the advantage of Eden Prairie as well, that the subject sign attracts T,cople off of Highway 5 who are heading for Jonathan and areas nst w:--o may not have seen any other advertising for Fairway Wood. of these people find a lot of the same attractiveness in Edenvale -t :a-o they were looking for in seeking out Jonathan and the Hazeltine area. They will make good residents of Eden Prairie, if we can got thorn to stop in Eden Prairie first. We firmly believe our small sign is helping in this.regard as..well. . . , • . . .• . • . „ • Honorable Mayor and C ouncil December 18, 1972 Page Two We are aware that the sign ordinance of the Village of Eden Prairie may not, if strictly applied, permit the continued presence of our sign. We are aware, too, of the communities concern about possible visual pollution and the desire to maintain the attractiveness of the community. We believe, however, that we car. best contribute to both of these concerns by making Fairway Wood a successful project of owner—occupied units. To do this it is essential to develop name and location identity with the public. Accordingly, we would respectfully request that a temporary permit, or a variance from the sign ordinance, as ne cessary, be granted permitting the maintenance by Fairway Wood condominiums of the small 4. x 6* identification and directional sign located at the junction of Highway 5 and Mitchell oad. We would further request that we be allowed to maintain this sign until the project is substantially sold unless some other mutually acceptable arrangements are made with Edenvale We do not believe that the temporary maintenance of this sign will be detrimental to the community, but its loss would be highly detrimental to the success of Fairway Wood. Should there be any questions or concerns, we would be happy to appear before the 0ounci1 to discuss this natter with you. Very truly yours, BROBICB, BACY1v.A & :7%TLAA^J By � herald C, keetlane.
