Resolution No. 049. Dave Huseby, Rieke, Carroll Muller presented and reviewed the extension of sanitary sewer along West 78th Street. He stated that when they first reviewed the project the estimated cost had been $80,000 but after soil tests the area was found to contain some bad material hence the $120,000 cost had been estimated. Paul Anderson, Attorney representing his father Calvin Anderson appeared to oppose the installation of pipe. His father feels that the land is not buildable or feasible at this point because of Highway 212 plans and flood plain, asked that it be rejected. Mr. Huseby stated that only the buildable property would be assessed at the present time but that it would be NUM when more property becomes buildable6 reassessed The Manager stated that nothing would be assessed in the flood plain.

He also recommended that the lateral main be constructed on the north side of the right-of—way of 78th Street due to topography considerations. The proposed water main to serve Rosemount area would be 12 inches and he feels that this will be adequate to provide dependable service and also future developments in the area.

Recommendation to Purchase Jim Boyce and Ed Woody Property at Staring Lake for Park Purposes. Mr. Jessen a recommended purchase of the Jim Boyce and Ed Wood property of 15.5 acres on the south side of Staring Lake between the lake and Flying Cloud Airport. Two appraisals have been completed on the property, one ordered by the Village indic ated a market value of $85,250, the other by Mr. Boyce and Mr. Woody at $120,000. The 1970 market value of the property was $87,000 and 1972 at $180,000. The Village can purchase the land for cash at a price of $120,000. This parcel has been funded out of the 1971 LAWCON money for a lesser amount $80,000; however, based on the appraisal by Mr. Boyce and also based on the recent condemnation award on the Blesi property across the lake from this parcel, Mr. Jessen stated that the $120,000 price appeared to be reasonable. He said an attenrpt will be made to secure additional funding from Lawcon and State sources to cover the increased cost. A motion was made by Mr. Penzel to approve the purchase of the Boyce/ Woody property for $120,000 for park purposes. Mrs. Meyers seconded. On roll call, all voted aye. Motion carried. 3. Report on Condemnation Award for Gordon Blesi Property at Staring Lake.

He stated that the condemnation commission had completed its hearing and filed an award for the Blesi parcel as follows: Fee Award $87,500 and $300 Appraisal Allowance. The parcel includes 10.591 acres plus a log cabin in good condition. The Village had an appraisal done on the property that indicated a value of $50,400. The landowner had an appraisal done at $115,000. The value for tax purposes for 1973 is $75,900. He noted that LAWCON funding for one-half of an estimated value of $63,000 had previously been approved. The Village will seek a LAWCON contract amendment to cover the Federal Share of the increased cost. He said that generally the Federal Share is increased when the cost is increased as a result of a condemnation award. A motion was made by Mr. Boerger to accept the condemnation award and approve purchase of the Blesi property in the amount of $87,500 plus $300 appraisal allowance if the property owner accepts. Mr. Penzel seconded. On roll call, all voted aye. Motion carried. n •••••n ••'.•41 n ••'n bv•••• I 111 .1.14.1"44 4. Allocation of Money to Survey Properties Along Nine Mile Creek for Park Purposes and Conduct a Naturalist Study of the Area to be Used in the Design Process. Marty Jessen, Park Director reviewed a request for funds to survey land adjacent to Nine Mile Creek in the area of the recent park donation frown Northern States Power Co. He stated that hoot the land that had Council Meeting February 27, 1973 Page Seven been donated was just west of I-494 along Nine Mile Creek. The donation case about ubecause of the effort on the part of certain private land/' owners in that area working in conjunction with the Village Staff and ,' Northern States Power Co. in an attempt to develop a creekway trail system/open space plan in that area. Included among these land owners were the Howard Kaerwers, the Presbyterian Church and the Russell Marshs. Mr. Marsh has presented a development proposal for his land, which identifies the creekway for dedication as public open space. The Kaeniers and Presbyterian Church representative have indicated a willingness to donate the land owned by them to the Village. He indicated the only cost to the Village in acquiring these properties would be for surveys necessary to provide proper legal descriptions of the properties. It is estimated that survey costs for these two parcels would be approximately $2,500. By acquiring these two parcels, the Village would have ownership to all of the land along Nine Mile Creek between 494 and Baker Road. A motion was made by Mr. Boerger to authorize survey work in the amount of $2,500 for property along Nine Mile Creek to be used from the Park Bond Fund. Mr. Redpath seconded.

Zachman, Zachinan Homes, Inc. presented and reviewed The Oaks PUD Concept Plan located east of Red Rock Lake on the Seifert farm otA.,101, within the RED ROCK Sector. It is proposed on 86 acres which would contain 31rhomes and ar townhouses. Space is provided for a garage which will be blacktopped but with an option to build. The Oak's project zero lot line home would cost about $2C,000 with an additional $2,700 for a double garage; the townhouse about $21,800 with an additional $1,500 for a single garage. Hrs. Meyers stated that the Planning Cormission felt that the garages should be included without an option as it might improve the site. fir. Penzel asked if graduated home payments were available and was told that they were not at the present tire. The Village Attorney asked about the cost of the lot and was told that it was about $6,000 which included blacktopped streets, sewer, water and fully sodded. The Village Planner, Dick Putnam reviewed the elements of the Red Rock Plan which influence The Oaks, ie ilitchell Road, East/Hest Parkway and Scenic Heights Road. He noted that the East/Host Collector road alignment indicated in Zac hren Homes' proposal will be carefully examined before final road design approval is granted.

Resolution 010. 6.44. Dick Putnam, Village Planner presented and reviewed the Edenvale 6th Addition preliminary plat plan, an 87 lot single family subdivision located in the northeast secion of Edenvale south of Kings Forest. Proposed are hones that will range in the area of $40,000 — $50,000 of a coventional nature with some grouped open spaces providing necessary space for the Edenvale pedestrian pathway systems as well as Council Meeting February 13, 1973 Page Four providing excellent private single family living environment. The conern for through traffic from Golf View Drive north using Kingston Drive was expressed by several residents. Mr. Renier, Holly Road stated that he felt that traffic on Holly Road was too great at the present time and that opening up Kingston Drive would only create more. fir. Kingrey, Holly Road, concurred with this also. Mr. Garens , .44mmembee-Brel-ye-felt that it would not. A memo from Jack Hacking, Director of Public Safety in regard to the matter of a connecting road north from Valley View to Kingston and Crown Drive was reviewed by fir. Hacki ng. Both he and the Fire Chief strongly recommended this for emergency vehicles. He suggested placing stop signs at the intersection of Valley View Road and Kingston, the intersection of Kingston and Crown, and the existing stop signs at Kingston and Holly and Holly and Baker. He also recommended making the connecting roadway a one way road for south bound traffic only from Crown Drive to Valley View. Mr. Hacking felt that this would perhaps prevent any further increase in traffic volume into Kings Forest. Discussion was held on possible alternates, extending West 66th and Canterbury Lane to the north. It was felt that until land use to the north of Kings Forest and Ponderosa Hills is established this cannot be determined. 1. There being no further discussion, Mrs. Meyers made a motion to close the hearing and adopt the first reading of Ordinance No. 205 zoning Edenvale 6th Addition to MI 6.5. Mr. Doerger seconded.

Hipp's Mitchell Heights Plan 'V Improvement and Bid /Word for Street and Utility Construction. Mr. Farnsworth, Brauer & Assoc ., presented and reviewed the Hipp's Mitchell Heights Plan 43* Improvement. Mrs. Meyers asked if there was a 20% coverage that could be used to improve Hiawatha Avenue. Mr. Farnsworth Council Meeting February 13, 1973 Page Five stated that there was. He recommended 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. A motion was made by Mr. Boerger to adopt Resolution No. 653 ordering Hipp's Mitchell Heights Plan "IP Improvements, accepting plans and specifications and accepting low bid of Northdale Construction Co., Alternate A, modified in the amount of $151,982. hr.

Dick Putnam, Village Planner, presented and reviewed the ticAl lister Properties Anderson Lakes PUD proposal. Since the hearing on January 9th which was continued, lir. Putnam has met with residents in the area. He stated that their concern in regard to the mount of traffic using West 78th Street from #18 to old #169 is a valid one. He stated that he felt that the project would not cause major traffic problems along West 78th Street. He further stated that the cause of the high peak hour volume is through traffic which will be redirected to new routes in the next few years. The timetable for road improvements is coordinated with the Homart Center to open in August, 1975 and the 212 diagonal which should be open in mid-1973 which should relieve a great deal of the through traffic. There being no further discussion, Mr. Meyers made a notion to adopt Resolution No. 658 approving the Anderson Lakes Planned Unit Development as recommended by the Planning Commission on February 6, 1973.

McCulloch suggested that perhaps an attractive sign could be placed at an intersection with each development of a like size and type style hung one below each other indicating direction with an arrow. It was the Council's feeling that granting special use permits for signs could only create citizen and goverment problems. Council Peeting February 13, 1973 Page Nine A notion was made by sirs. lieyers to instruct the Village tanager to request Mr. Henning to remove his sign and suggest that the Village allow sandwich type signs on week-ends until such time as Edenvale has submitted the total sign package/graphics. Planning Commission recommendations of January 2, 1973 are included in this motion as follows: a. No good cause was shown to give a special use permit or to change the existing ordinance; therefore, the sign should be removed. b. Edenvale should be asked to submit and have approved the total sign package/graphics for Edenvale and establish firm time schedules for construction. c.

Bill Bonner reviewed the site and planning considerations for the Creekwood Estates project. He indicated that they felt this was an extremely desirable site for development in Eden Prairie because most of the calls they are receiving from prospective buyers are for houses in the $40-50, 000 range on a wooded lot. Busted Development Corporation will build most of the houses in this project, but will also sell some lots to private builders or private citizens who will then have their own homes built. Bonner reviewed the creek dedication near Creek Knoll Road on the west and north part of this Creekwood Estates project. He talked about the rather distinct ridge which falls away from the Creekwood project and to the creek very steeply. Bonner further talked about the low area on the north and east side of the Creekwood Estates project, indicating that Busted Development Corporation was presently doirg some further study on that area trying to accomplish some plan other than the one indicated, which brings the road down the steep slope and cul-de—sacs down in the low area, thus requiring the filling of that entire section of their property. He requested that they be given additional time to consider the alterna- tives in this area, to work with adjacent land owners, and come back with a subsequent plan to develop that portionof their project. Blacklock asked about play space within the project and suggested that the northeast area -- the low area -- was the most suitable for this purpose. Garens confirmed her statement about play space in this area and also reaffirmed the need for additional study in the northeast area at this time. Blacklock pointed out that the creek dedication as shown on the Creekwood Estates project was inconsistent with the Parks and Recreation Commission's accepted policy of 100 ft. of public dedication from the center of any creek in Eden Prairie. She suggested that we need to proceed quickly in developing specific guidelines and policies which will prevent future problems. She further stated that the top of the bluff, as in the Creekwood Estates proposal, is usually the natural boundary for the creek which would serve the best interest of the public for park purposes and that the 100 feet was generally rather arbitrary and did not always accom- plish the public purpose, Blacklock asked as to what type of fencing or clear public/private boundary was going to be included in this plan. She suggested that some natural barrier be established in this area to make it very clear to the public and to the private land owners where the public was entiticd to make use of the land. Action Taken • ivi/Garens, 8/Erickson that the Parks and Recreation • - • Commission recommend approval of the Creekwood Estates proposal, deleting lots 12 through 18 of Block 1 until other development alternatives are studied further, that the orange line "park area" be dedicated to the Village for creek trailway and preservation purposes, and that the north boundary and the northeast corner of the Creekwood Estates area be considered at a later date.

Creekwood Estates by Hustad Development Corporation, proposed for 54 single family lots, located near Creek Knoll Road and Co. Road 1 . Mr. Bonner showed slides of the proposed sites after which Mr. Putnam explained the possible alternate plan and the Planning report. Mr. Putnam expressed his concern about the area fronting on the creek. He indicated that his report was written in the absence of grading and engineering data. Pr.

PLANNING REPORT DATE: APPLICANT: PROJECT: REQUEST: FROM: THROUGH: February 1, 1973 Busted Development Corporation Creekwood Single Family Subdivision Rezoning to RI 13.5 and Preliminary Plat Approval for 54 lots on 26.2 acres. Dick Putnam, Village Planner Bob Heinrich, Village Manager BACKGROUND: Hustads purchased or optioned the 26.2 acre site from Eden Land Corporation during the last few months, intending to develop a quality conventional single family home site during 1973. The site was located close to existing sewer interceptor and relatively close to water, in place at the Vocational Technical School. The Village Staff indicated during preliminary discussions that single family use would be appropriate at that location, as well as the environmental concerns pertinent to the site. ,RELATIONSHIP TO COMMUNITY FACILITIES Creekwood is adjacent to major State, County, and Village transportation routes which provides easy access to Village and Metropolitan facilities. The site is about four miles from existing elementary and secondary school facilities, approximately three miles from the proposed Preserve elementary school, and about 3/4 mile from proposed Bluff West elementary school site. Busing of children could be expected for this area for many years. Proximity to existing shopping facilities is limited with Southdale, Valley West Center, Glen Lake Center, Shakopee, and Chanhassen the nearest areas. Within the next few years, new shopping centers will exist at Homart, The Preserve, and West Bloomington. The Creekwood subdivision is not within safe, easy walking distance of any neighborhood playgrounds. The nearest is Staring Lake about 3/4 mile west along Purgatory Creek. Staring Lake will not have the field game space that Round Lake Park has for many years, if at all. Neighborhood play field space should be provided to all Eden Prairie residents within I to miles of their home, accessible by a safe walkway system. Recreational space of one to five acres should be nearby all developments of residential that are less than three to five acres in size. The Creekwood subdivision has lots of 13,500 sq. ft. , most of which are heavily wooded without any open play space. Planning Report - Creekwood Single Family Subdivision Page Two The areas to the east, owned by The Preserve, along the creek have lowland areas of two to four acres in size that could be utilized as neighborhood play space. These areas are in the floodplain, but could be most appropriately used as recreation space. The Creekwood plat has an area of similar character but smaller of •about 2.5 acres adj acent to the creek where the cul-de-sac is proposed. The low area is about 1/3 in the floodplain with the rest only a foot above the high water mark. The area does not have nature trees and is currently ponding areas off the creek. The lowland is ringed by a steep wooded hillside with the lowland area as a focal point of the hillside views. I believe that neighborhood play space should be provided to the 200 residents of the Creekwood area and I feel that an on-site solution should be explored. SUBDIVISION • S RELATIONSHIP TO TERRAIN; The site is a 75 foot high wooded knoll with many mature oak, maple, and basswood trees. The steeply sloping areas range from 40% to 20% slope with an open meadow area along Co. Rd. 42. There is a definite break of the steep slope to moderate along the creek which approximates the 840' contour on the west and the 825 contour on the east. These elevations would be appropriate locations for the public parkway boundary with the privately owned lots. Generally the roads have been located within openings in the forest to reduce cutting since many streets will require some cut and filling. The roads should be within the Village standard of under 6% grade, especially if the cul-de-sac into the lowland is moved up the hill. The character of the heavily wooded site can be preserved if lot sizes are sufficient, as well as carefully defined building pad sites. Lots that are less than 13,500 sq .ft. and platted in a conventional fashion would, I believe, be detrimental to the site - The Creekwoods plat should have lots of greater than 13,500 sq.ft. with careful design and siting control over individual lots, so the woods and hillside can be maintained. The lower cul-de-sac, located near the floodplain elevation, presents serious problems if developed as proposed. The floodplain elevation is 811' at this point, with basement elevation at a minimum of 812'. The small ponding or pocket area, where the cul-de—sac is located, is not in the floodplain, but does store runoff from the surrounding hill and is currently wet. The effect on lots 12,13, and 14 off the Planning Report - Creekwood Single Family Subdivision Page Three floodplain would greatly reduce their usable private yards. There is no filling of the floodplain proposed in the Creekwood plat as submitted; however, that was based upon a 810.4' floodplain elevation. The cul-de-sac proposed would drop from an elevation of 850 to 812' in the circle over a distance of 260' which is about a 15% slope. The necessary cutting and filling to bring the street within Village standards of 7% grade would require major land alteration. The need for a lift station in the cul-de-sac may be eliminated if the lots in the low area were removed. Land forms indicate rather strongly the most logical method of development, which utilized the hillside views over the lovely creek valley. The proposed plat does not recognize the value of the hillside character by putting lots in the low area that are directly below those on the hill. I believe the plat does not best utilize the natural views and terrain. SITE PLAN ANALYSIS: RI 13.5 zoning requires not more than two units per acre. Creekwood proposes 54 lots in 26.1 acres, which does not conform to the ordinance. The watershed district requires a minimum of 100' from creek water line to be public space and the Village has required all plats to meet this standard or provide a reasonable alternate. With the large land holding that the Hustads have along the creek south of Co.Rd. #1 which is far in excess of the 100' requirement, there should not be a strict literal requirement. The requirement for public parkway space must be based upon natural boundaries such as: slopes, treelines, etc. Therefore, I believe a "field inspection" should be used to establish the boundaries. Lots 1 - 11 along Creekwood Drive would be reduced In size by the parkway land requirements. I would recommend that the 840' countour be used along the creek in the northwest area and between 820' and 830' on the north edge. To offset the parkway deviations, I would recommend granting variances for smaller than 13 • 500 sq. ft. lots only in those areas. The variance would be for small discrepancies from the standard, not-for example- 7,000 sq.ft. lots. I would recommend that the lower lots along the creek should be eliminated and the cul-de-sac be located up the hill at about the 840'-830' elevation • with lots platted along the hillside. Modifications Planning Report - Creekwood Single Family Subdivision Page Four of this may require shifting of some other roads and lots with the net result of providing a 2 or 2.5 acre open space usable for the residents as play or natural space. The land along the creek would be about 1 or i4 acres usable for trails and a natural buffer. The total open space provided under this scheme is about 3 to 5 acres, or 10% to 20% of the total land area. I might point out previous projects of single family 13,500 sq.ft. lots such as: Round Lake Estates 20% plus open space, Valley Knolls 20% public park, Hidden Ponds about 20% of land in open space. The Village has established a rather consistent approach to low density development which evaluates each project separately, and considers the specific features of each site as it relates to necessary Village open space requirements as well as specific site conditions. The old "5% park trick", which guided much of the existing single family subdivision developments, has not produced the NEEDED open space for those residents. The petition regarding park land presented by the Eden View residents about Eden Farms' proposal points this out. A critical NEED for family projects is close, usable, and flexible open space, which can be publicly or privately owned and maintained. I believe that single family homes on 13,500, 22,000, or 8,000 sq.ft. lots deserve these needed open spaces as much ar more than townhouses or apartment units and, therefore, the Creekwood single family plat should provide such spaces. BECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Recommend that the Creekwood Drive cul-de-sac be pulled back up the hill at sufficient distance to allow the low areas to be utilized as homeowner association OR public open space. Development of this area should be a joint decision between Village and developer. 2. Recommend that Creekwood Drive be altered so as to increase the size of lots 4, 5, and 6. A variance may be required in the standard lot size in these instances due to the parkway boundary. 3. Recommend to the watershed district that the 100' public boundary along the creek be flexible if the previous recommendations are followed to allow a boundary that fits the terrain. 4. Recommend rezoning to R1 13.5 for the Creelcwood subdivision if the recommendations of the Staff Report are implemented. Approval would require a substantial plan modification to be submitted to the Planning Commission for review. Planning Report - Creekwood Single Family Subdivision Page Five S. Recommend preliminary plat approval be given if t he resubmitted Creekwood plan meets the recommendations of the Staff Report. 6.

RM 2.5 rezoning and development stage approval. Preserve P.U.D. , the 76 acre Basswood development area. Dick Putnam, Village Planner Bob Heinrich, Village Manager Planning Review Process: Basswoods, site d2, was first presented to the Planning Commission on January 2, 1973, by Mark Z. Jones Associates. At that meeting, there w a s some doubt by the Commission that the building should be located as far into the woods as indicated on the initial plan. Therefore, the Planning S t a f f asked Ivk. Les Blacklock, a naturalist, and selected landscape archite c t s t o examL-1 e the site to determine if the woods should be violated by such large buildings, At the January 16, 1973, meeting, the Planning Staff reported that the experts that examined those areas did not feel the buildings should b e constructed as indicated in the initial plan and at that time, Mark Z. J o n e s presented an alternate scheme which moved the buildings back out of th e woods , still maintaining the 66 units. Review by the Park and Recreation Commission on January 22 indicated the feeling that the buildings were t o o much into the woods. The Park and Recreation Commission also reviewed t h e project at its February 12th meeting, with the revised scheme which pu l l e d t h e buildings out of the woods. There were suggestions made by members t h a t t h e building may be turned in an "L" rather than straight to pull it out of th e w o o d s even further. A product of the Planning Commission's and Park and Recreation Commiss i o n ' s review has produced an alternative by Mr. Roger Freeberg, the architect f o r Mark Z. Jones, that would drop four units, bringing the total to 62 units , a n d would shorten the easterly building which is now in a straight line by app r o x i - mately 40 feet, pulling it almost entirely out of the woods. The revision o f the plan during the planning review process has been initiated by the var i o u s Village Commissions with the developer and architect being very coopera t i v e in trying to achieve the most desirable plan for the site. Site d2 Conformance with "Basswoods" Concept Plan: The Basswoods Concept Plan which was approved late in 1972 indicated 7 0 units of condominiums desired on this site, of a building type that woul d b e a double-loaded corridor, underground parking structure. The process o f detailed design has indicated that the 70 units was not possible to fit th e site arid, therefore, the revised plan indicates approximately 62 units of the same building type. The ability with the gabled roof and the varied elevationsfrom two to three stories should add a lower scale to the rathe r large structures. Basswoods, site d2 Page Two The Basswoods plan indicated a trail system coming along the southeasterly boundary of the d2 site, proceeding to the open wet area and then along the southerly boundary going toward the elementary school site and crossing the collector road. There would be minor paths feeding to the units themselves from this major Preserve system. These linkages will be put in when the structure is built, and the most appropriate path is determined. Relationship with Adjacent Sites: The revised plan which pulls the easterly building 40 feet further from the southern property line will give a distance of approximately 65 feet from the edge of the building to the property line. On site a2, directly adjacent, there will be the cluster townhouses as proposed on site b with approximately 26 units proposed. The configuration of those units due to the steep slopes on the northeastern corner of this site will dictate location away from the large condominium building on site d2. The distance between these units will be in excess of 100 feet. The 100 foot distance, given the character of the land with steep slopes and heavy woods, will provide an excellent visual buffer. There is approximately 120-130 feet from the building to the collector road on the north, which should be sufficient. In that distance, there will be parking and access to the underground garage. The westerly building's relationship to the site b townhouse units has been one of great concern throughout the planning of these sites. Originally the distance between the large building and the townhouse was 55 feet, with a Preserve pathway running between. This was felt to be tulsufficient by the developer, architect, and Commission members. The revised plan indicates a distance of over 100 feet between the buildings. This should prove sufficient, given the dense forest for excellent visual buffering. Also the pedestrian trail from the wet area to the school within this 100 foot corridor should be well handled with those distances. The distances of 100 feet between structures within this wooded area seems to be the natural buffering distance due to on-site inspection where, from the open field to the low wet area is approximately 95-100 feet, even in the winter the dense trees provide an excellent visual barrier given that much distance, and this would seem to be the ideal distance within this site to provide the buffers between uses. The westerly building's relationship to the collector road is approximately 40 feet from the structure to the right-of-way line, with an elevation difference of about 10 feet up with a two story facade facing the street. To accommodate that relatively close distance to the street with the larger building, it seems that some softening landscape; both lower-level trees as well as canopy vegetation, should be utilized along the westerly edge of this site. This is not indicated on the plan but would be suggested. Basswoods, site d2 Page Three Parking is provided on this site for approximately 24 guest spaces in front of the units with the remaining parking under the building at a relationship of approximately 11 spaces per unit. Provision of a 28 foot radius turnaround will provide turnaround space as well as a dropoff area for the front door of each unit. The turnaround area will also provide a nice entry feeling, combined with the steps and heavy tree cover that exists by the westerly building and the preservation of the trees on the east. Building Relationship to Site - Natural Features: The heavily wooded site with the very definite tree edge which has been cut from a field with two high points of 916 and 913' offer an excellent opportunity to site the buildings around these hill forms as well as putting units directly in contact with the heavily wooded site. The concern expressed by the Village and the developer has been the balance, or relationship, between the number of units and the site with the placement of the buildings predominantly in the open area. Revisions to the site plan have been centered around these basic issues of balance between buildings and preservation of the natural site. Both buildings will be sited high above the road approximately 10 to 12 feet and will be opening out on the other side toward the woods at grade with three story elevation. The minimizing of the tree damage and the maximizing of the views for the units into the woods and of the overlook views to the north toward the Anderson Lakes area is an ideal feature of this building type and the site. Recommendations: 1. Recommend to the Council that the site dl condominium units be approved for rezoning to RM 2.5 in conformance with the revised plan to be submitted indicating approximately 62 units for sale condominiums. 2. That trees to be retained in proximity to the construction areas are tagged and adequate precautions are taken to insure their preservation. 3. Landscaping shall be provided between the westerly edge of the west building and the collector road with low level vegetation and canopy trees. Likewise, around the perimeter adjacent to the collector road, appropriate vegetation shall be provided to complement the grade change from the road to the structure. 4. That the revised buildings be staked in the field and inspected by the Village Staff to insure that the forest character is preserved.

RIEKE CARROLL MULLER ASSOCIATES, INC . 1 I - PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project consists of a sanitary sewer along West 78th Street from Purgatory Creek to Rosemount Engineering Company. A portion of the proposed sewer was designated as trunk sewer in the 1969 "Report on Trunk Sanitary Sewer System" and was designed to serve an area referred to as CP-1. The proposed project, as indicated on the attached map, connects to the ex- isting interceptor sewer at Purgatory Creek and extends easterly along the south side of 78th Street to its intersection with a future "ring road". It then crosses 78th Street and continues easterly along the south side of State Highway •5 to Foto Mark Inc. where it again turns south to 78th Street and the entrance to Rosemount Engineering. An al ternate route which would parallel the south side of 78th Street all the way appears to be a more direct route - but was discarded because of the excessive depths which would be encountered. II - DESIGN CRITERIA The pipe is designed to carry the anticipated wastewater from Rosemount Engineering, which has planned expansion to approximately 1100 employees, and from Foto Mark with about 60 employees. A portion of the area to the south will eventually be served by the trunk sewer via laterals along and parallel to the ring road. The maximum areas anticipated, in addition to Rosemount and Foto Mark, are approximately 100 acres of medium density housing and another 100 acres of the area referred to as the Regional Center northwest of Highway #169. 2 It is possible that the entire area will not be served by the proposed trunk. As the area develops, it may prove more feasible to serve portions of the area from the interceptor to the west or from the Anderson Lake trunk to the southeast. In that event, the trunk size could probably be decreased but the gamble would not be worth the small savings in cost. III - PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION The proposed project consists of 16" pipe for the trunk sewer and 10" or 8" for the portion considered as lateral sewer. Soil borings along the route indicate areas of unsuitable soils, soft clay, peat and muck, which will require the use of piling on most or all of the trunk line. The depth of the pipe will generally be 10 feet or less although depths as high as 20 feet will occasionally be encountered. The 16" trunk sewer will be installed at minimum grade to maintain the lowest elevation possible at the anticipated point of intersection with the ring road from the south. This will result in a high degree of flexibility in future lateral design and minimize the need for lift stations. The 8" and 10" lines are designed to serve only the abutting property except that a short section near Foto Mark will be lower than normal to provide future service, if necessary, from the southeast.

Heinrich SUBJECT: METHOD OF ASSESSING VACANT LAND FOR LATERAL SEWER AND WATER BENEFIT I and members of the staff, including consultant engineer Dave Husby, met several time s and reviewed various methods of assessing vacant properties for lateral benefit. The method explained in Mr. Husby' s letter of 2/1/73 is recommended for your consideration. The hearing is the improvement hearing -- not the assessment hearing -- so action by the Village Council on the proposed assessing policy is not required until the improvement is about to be assessed. The letter serves as a point of reference for you on what properties would receive benefit and the possible amount that may be assessed.

Heinrich Village Manager The Village Hall 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343 Dear Mr. Heinrich: In accordance with your request, we are submitting herewith our engineering feasibility study concerning water service to the area around, and including, Rosemount Engineering Company, SCOPE The purpose of this study is to determine the alignment, site, and cost of the proposed lateral water main (Improvements No. WTR 72-8-24) which is required to provide Village water aenvice to the area around, and including, Rosemount Engineering Company, located on 78th Street approxi- mately 2300 feet west of Flying Cloud Drive. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Village's present trunk water main system is being developed in accord- ance with Stage I water works improvements of the Phase I Utility Proposal adopted by the Village of Eden Prairie 131970. The majority of the proposed Stage I trunk water main twromements west of the future "ring road" have been constructed and are in service. Preliminary engineering work for the remaining trunk water mains in Stage I has been completed. Final plans and specifications for the proposed 16 inch trunk water main (Improvements No. WTR 72-8-23) located along Flying Cloud Drive from the entrance of the Preserve Development north to the south right-of-way of Interstate Highway 494 have also been completed and are ready for the receipt of construction bids. This 16 Inch main will provide trunkwatem tfr. Itobert P. Heinrich - 2 - January 26, 1973 service to areas along Flying Cloud Drive as well as service to lateral water mains which will serve the proposed Hcoart Development in the Preserve and the area around the Rosemount Engineering Company on 78th Street. (See the attached project map.) Alternative methods of serving the Rosemount area from the west by extending the existing 16 inch trunk water main from the Public Works building east along trunk Highway 5 and/or by constructing the proposed 16 inch trunk water main in the future "ring road" were explored; however, both methods were found to be more coctly than serving the Rosemount area from the proposed 16 inch trunk water main mentioned above. Another alternative method was investigated to determine if it were feasible to serve the Rosemount area from the north by extending the existing 16 inch trunk main in Valley View Road east to Flying Cloud Drive and then south along Flying Cloud Drive to 78th Street. This method was also found to be more costly. It is recommended that water service to the area along 78th Street, around and including the Rosemount Engineering Company, be provided from a lateral water main which will extend west approximately 2330 linear feet from a connection to a proposed 16 Inch trunk water main (Improvements No. VTIR 72-8-23) along Flying Cloud Drive. (See the attached project map.) It is also recommended that the lateral main be constructed on the north side of the right-of-way of 78th Street due to topography considerations. CAPACITY It is recommended that the proposed lateral water main to serve the Rosemount area be 12 inches in size. The 12 inch main will be adequate to provide dependable service to meet the maximum hour and fire demands of the existing and future developments along 78th Street between the Rosemount area and Flying Cloud Drive, provided that future developments have similar water requirements as the existing developments in the area. It is also recommended that, as new development occurs west of the Rose- mount area, the 12 inch lateral water main be extended west to connect with the proposed 16 inch trunk main in the future "ring road". A connection to this trunk main will add to the reliability of the lateral water main by providing two points of feed for the Rosemount area, PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION A subsurface investigation was conducted along the proposed alignment of the lateral water main and it was found that the soil bearing capacity is adequate to support the main. The main will have a minimum cover depth of 7 •-6" and will be installed on Class C bedding. Mr. Robert P. Heinrich 3 January 26, 1973 'The main will be Class 2 ductile iron pipe and it will be of the mechanical joint and/or push-on joint type. Joint conductivity straps will be Installed on the pipe to aid the customer in thawing out frozen service connections. Fire hydrants will be spaced along the main to provide maximum protection to existing structures. Service connections will also be provided along the pipe for each existing structure. Each service line from the service connection will be extended to the property line of the structure being served. The lateral main terminates with a sectionalizing valve and a future connection plug which will allow extension in the future of the lateral main to the west with little, if any, disruption of service. ESTIMATE OF COST The unit price costs for the lateral water main project are shown in the attached estimate. The estimate includes allowances for such price increases as are indicated at the present time and are believed adequate if the project is initiated within the next six months. The estimate of cost does not include the cost of land or rights-of-way. It does include engineering, administrative, legal, and interest costs. FINANCIAL The water main project described in this study is considered a lateral main and, therefore, would be financed through assessments to the bene- fited property owners.

The soils have high moisture storage capacity and are moderate to moderately slow in permeability. Water tends to dr a i n o f f the surface to depressions rather than percolate through the so i l . Except for soils along the floodplain and low soils leading up t o t h e hills, bearing values and stability are expected to be adequate . H i g h foundation costs should not be expected. The fact that the soi l s c h a n g e in volume with moisture change (shrink swell) and have perched s e a s o n a l watertables, must be considered in design. Foundation drainag e i s a requirement on all the soils. The Cordova (Co), Dundas (Du) and H a m e l (Ha) need particular attention in terms of wetness. The main consideration, on the si te, in my judgement, are the s t e e p slopes. The slope analysis map prepared by Bather Ringrose and W a l s f e l d and the soil map prepared by the Soi 1 Conservation Service ind i c a t e extensive areas with slope gradients of more than 15%. While i t c a n n o t be said that steep slopes cannot be developed (in this case we e x p e c t t h e soil to be fairly stable if they are developed) the risk of sig n i f i c a n t land alteration is high. For this reason certain slope phases o f t h e soils on this site described in the 1969 Hennepin County Soil S u r v e y , a r e rated as having severe limitations for development. Some areas of steep slopes can no doubt be planned without und u e l a n d alteration, but observation of development on similar steep la n d s i n t h e Twin Cities Area indicate that many areas are likely to be hea v i l y g r a d e d . High quality construction standards need to be employed such as n o t c h i n g buildings into hills rather than simply leveling the site. It is difficult to know the extent of grading planned without a site and grading plan but it appears that extensive cutting and fi l l i n g w i l l Page 2 be necessary to prepare this site which would mean the potential for sediment and water loss to downstream positions would be severe. The energy status of the landscape to produce water runoff and erosion is high. Roads and buildings should be designed around the existing landscape to minimize grading and other site preparation to reduce land alteration and the potential for water runoff and sedimentation. 1. A number of temporary debris basins should be constructed near the lower reaches of the small drainage ways on the tract. The exact location and design of these can be determined when detailed site plans are completed. The purpose of these structures is to trap sediment and debris during the initial period of construction. Maintain these basins by desilting them as necessary to obtain optimum trap efficiency. 2. Storm drai nage facilities should be completed and made operational as soon as possible during construction. Small debris guards should be used to protect the storm drain inlets from blockage during the construction period. 3. Complete construction of main street circling each cluster before proceeding to grading for buildings. 4. Use incremental development rather than breaking up large tracts of land simultaneously; this will help minimize the duration of exposure of the land to erosion and will greatly reduce damages during the construction period. 5. Top soil should be stockpiled and used later on areas to be stabilized by permanent vegetation. 6. Exposed and eroding areas should be established in temporary vegetation if such areas will not be built on within a period of 60 days. This seeding should be done immediately upon completion of rough grading. 7. Mulch, temporary diversions, contour furrows, terraces and other simple conservation practices should be used where appropriate for erosion control. 8. Permanent vegetation should be established immediately upon completion of final grading on all areas where this practice is applicabl e. In response to the question, "What will the densities proposed have upon the recharge process?", we can only say that runoff will greatly increase because of roofs, streets and parking areas. The affect on water levels in the creek is also difficult to assess except to say that flood hazards will probably increase, however hydrologic studies will be required to ascertain this. • rage 3 I am not sure if anyone can speak with real assurance on the signifi- cance of the recharge process in this area. Some Geologists believe the deep glacial debris in the area is fractured and that surface waters contribute to deep bedrock aquifers. Actual data, I suspect, is difficult to come by. We can expect, however, that with increased runoff the recharge of the bedrock zones will be diminished. It must be pointed out, that all developments are very likely to reduce infiltration of water into the soil unless provisions are made to retard runoff from the area. Even this may not increase or maintain former recharge rates as artificial ponding sites are often impervious and most of the stored water is dissipated by evaporation.

We have reviewed the proposed plat and have the following recommendations: 1. Dedi cute an additional 10.0 feet of right of way - a total of 50.0 feet • along each side of the centerline of CSAH 4. 2. CSAH 62 - Crosstown - is, at present, proposed to be located along the northerly boundary of the proposed plat. Right of way, varying in width from approximately 100 feet to 300 feet in width, has been acquired along the northerly side of Town Line Road by Hennepin County. Addi tional right of way width will , however, be required along the northerly boundary of the Eden Farms property when CSAH 62 is developed. It i s recommended, at this time, that approximately 150 feet of width along the northerly boundary of the plat be reserved and remain undevel- oped for acquisition as CSAH 62 right of way in the future. There has been no determination made as to the scheduling of the development of CSAH 62 in the area of the proposed plat. 3. The proposed utilities along the existing Town Line Road (62nd Street) should be located southerly outside the previously discussed reserved right of way area. 4. The proposed streets which would connect to the existing Town Line Road (62nd Street) should be located within the plat so that they are in-line with existing streets northerly of Town Li ne Road, e.g., Woodland Road. Very tr yours, Mr. Richard Putnam - 2 February 1 , 1973 5. Access to all lots and/or development areas should be from the proposed street rather than from CSAH 4 or from Town Line Road (62nd Street). If access is desired from CSAH 4 it will be necessary to obtain Entrance Permits from the Maintenance Section of the Hennepin County Department of Public Works. An Entrance Permit will also be required for the proposed relocation of Duck Lake Trail. 6. Any proposed construction or alterations within county rights of way must be approved by the Hennepin County Department of Public Works. If there are any questions please contact Craig D. Spencer at this office. Herbert 0. Klossner, P.E.

VILLAGE OF EDEN PRAIRIE HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION no. 664 A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HONART DEVELOPMENT COMPANY BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council of the Village of Eden Prairie, Hennepin County, Minnesota THAT, approval be given Hosart Development Company PUT) Concept Plan on approximately 100 acres bounded by West 78th Street to the north, U. S. Highway 169/212 to the west and the proposed Ring Route to the south and east for a proposed regional shopping center. THAT, approval be given based upon recommendations in the Staff Report which is made a part hereof and marked Exhibit A. THAT, it is located in the N 1/2 of the S 1/2 and Lots 13 and lit of Auditors Subdivision No. 335 of Section 14, Township 116, Range 22, Hennepin County, Minnesota. ADOPTED by the Village Council on the 27th day of February, 1973. Paul R. Redpath, Mayor ATTEST: SEAL Edna M. Holingren, Clerk Homart's Request/Time Schedule: A. The Village Council authorize the contract for consultant engineering services for design, construction, and cost allocations for the Ring Route. B. The Village Council authorize the Building Department Staff to issue phased building permits if each phase has satisfied the Village Planning Commission and Staff and Building Staff as well as the Uniform Building Code requirements. Elements of Major Center Area that influence Homed site: A. Transportation 1. Recommend that a Southwest Sector Transportation Study be con- ducted with the cooperation of various governmental agencies and municipalities to examine all the road systems and evaluate the total network. Transportation shall be defined to include all forms of land-based movement. 2. The allocation of Ring Route construction cost shall be determined by the Village Council, based upon consultation with the land owners in the area, consultant Village engineering firm, and the staff research regarding Fiscal Disparity legislation. 3. Recommend construction of the Ring Route from 494/West 713th Street on the east to T.H. 45 on the west with an at-grade signalized inter- section at that point. 4. Recommend upgrading of old 169/212 to four lanes with channelization and signals from 212/494 ramps to its intersection with the southerly leg of the Ring Route. Also, upgrading of the remainder of 169/2 12 to Co. Rd. #1 to better serve the existing "Regional" uses. 5. Recommend construction by 1 975 of a temporary off-ramp from 494 to existing 169 to accommodate the existing traffic generated by the Vocational Technical School, Flying Cloud Airport, the Regional Landfill, the future junior college, and Regional Shopping Nall. B. Transit 1. The Village Council requests that the M.C.A. be redesignated as a major metropolitan "transit node" to be served directly by the fast link Metro System. 2. The provision of Activity Center Transit is proposed within the M.C.A. to interface with the Metro System and development in the W.C.A. 3. Bus service should be provided to the Homart site by 1975 to serve Eden Prairie and the retail center. Adequate walkway and waiting facilities shall be designed into the Homart Mall. Page Two 4. Encourage joint use of bus or transit facilities by the educational institutions within the community. 5. Coordinate NI.C. A . transportation planning with Village and private/ quasi-public pedestrian walkway systems. C. Pedestrians 1. Pedestrian movement is essential for the success of the "Town Center" concept as well as the other transportation modes. Individual sites within the M.C.A. will develop appropriate pedestrian connections within the M.C.A. and provide links to the surrounding residential areas. 2. The principles listed under the Pedestrian Systems section will be used to evaluate and guide development. D. Open Space/Impact Upon Environment 1. The preservation of Anderson Lakes as a Metropolitan Wildlife Park must not be adversely affected by any element of the Homart Regional Center or the related Major Center Area development. 2. Protection from urban encroachment of the Purgatory Creek Flood Plain is necessary to maintain the flood plain storage, wildlife habitat, water recharge capabilities, and significant visual openness. 3. The protection of Bryant and Smetana Lakes from pollution and overuse, as well as the retention of the Nine Mile Creek Valley and related marshes/flood plain in their natural state is required of all development in the M.O . A. 4. Enhancement of the pond in the southwest quadrant of 494/212 inter- change is required at such time as land is developed adjacent. 5. Require private developments in the M.C.A. to provide usable exterior open space: plazas, parks, or preservation of significant natural features, in all developments. Homart should include usable/public Plaza areas • exclusive of the interior Mall,which relate to pedestrian movement systems. E. Public Utilities 1. Proper design of storm water runoff systems from the Homart site shall be accomplished to comply with the Village and the two Water- shed District's standards. F. Physical Form 1. Flexibility in design and planning are encouraged to permit improved systems in the M C .A. Page Three G. Community Impact 1. Recommend the "Town Center Concept" for the M.C.A. which will provide the wide array of services necessary to a community. 2. Establish areas that serve the public for use of assembly, forums, political events, etc. 3. Encourage, through planning, design, and management, strong community identification with public and significant private facilities within the M.C.A. H. Economic Development Impact 1. Sharing of the regional tax base is an appropriate fiscal concept to develop metropolitan and state taxation policies. 2. Costs to the local municipality, required to provide for the regionally oriented uses, whose tax base is shared, should be shared by the metropolitan or state government. I. Homart as part of M.C.A. 1. The "tone" or "quality" of the M.C.A. will be established by Homart's retail mall; therefore, excellence in all phases will be required of Homart and subsequently of other development on their site. 100 Acre Homart Site Evaluation A. Size 1. Recommend that a maximum of four department stores be planned for Homart's center and that the total G.L.A. square footage be approxi- mately 1 million. B. Composition at Site 1. Recommend the development of a Community Commercial Center on the 100+ acre Homan site that will comply with all the M.C.A. and Homart planning and design standards. 2. Recommend that the entertainment, finance, office, and other appro- priate uses be permitted on the 100 + acre Homart site, if they comply with the standards established for the M.C.A. 3. The Village should insist upon clustering of related land uses to achieve greatest efficienc y in transportation and pedestrian availability, as well as visual appeal. Such clusters could be: financial centers, food service, entertainment, office, cultural, etc. 4. The organization of future development parcels and uses within the Homart site should be consistent with the principles of linking and coordinating the entire southwest quadrant of the M.C.A. through pedestrian, auto, and mechanized transit. Page Four 5. Between the clusters of uses, there must be stimulating and exciting spaces that will encourage people to utilize the pedestrian and transit systems. 6. Require appropriate interim uses of the land within the Major Center Area while waiting for development to occur. C. Traffic 1. Recommend the use of the principles for the Homart site traffic movement systems as proposed by Barton-Aschman, which utilize minimum 150 foot entrance magazines, four lane interior perimeter road, traffic signalization, and extensive lighting and landscaping. 2. Overloading local transportation systems should be minimized by isolating the regional traffic from community and local road systems, to provide for the safe and efficient movement of all levels of traffic. D. Parking 1. Strongly endorse the concept of shared parking and require pedestrian or transit links to enable joint u se. 2. Recommend the parking areas of the Homed Mall be divided in at least four distinct levels to better fit the site. 3. Special landscaping, design, and maintenance will be required due to the Minnesota climate. 4. Encourage the use of decked parking if economically feasible. 5. Recommend a ratio of 5.5 parking spaces to 1,000 sq.ft. G.L.A. be used if adequate connections between other uses and parking areas are provided. E. Pedestrians and Transit 1. Recommend level separation between major pedestrian and major vehicular routes. 2. Establish safe pedestrian connections to Anderson Lakes Park and other adjacent parcels. 3. Establish enclosed pedestrian connections on major movement corridors within the 100 acre liomart site. 4. Homan' s center will connect with major Village and M.C.A. pedestrian systems; therefore, the Village Park and Recreation Commission should work with Hornart to adequately size and locate the connections. F. Existing Site Features and Landscaping 1. Preservation of the "Hill Form" on the Homart site Is mandatory. 2. All attempts should be made to save the existing grove of trees on the site, thereby enhancing the mall and providing a significant natural feature within the parking area which connects to Anderson Lakes Park. Page rive 3. Encroachment upon the Anderson Lakes Marsh shall be minimized by locating the Ring Route as far west as practical. Development on the Anderson Lakes Marsh east of the Ring Route shall be prohibited. 4. Encourage appropriate landscaping with plant material and earth forms to enhance the views into the Homart site and out from the Mall. G. Storm Water Systems I. No adverse effects upon Anderson Lakes from storm water drainage resulting from the center's construction and operation will be permitted. H. Structural Character 1. The design and materials used for the shopping mall shall be appropriate to the site features and to the basic design requirements of a Minnesota climate. 2. Strongly endorse the two level mall concept proposed by Homart. 3. Coordinate the planning and design of the mall with the other buildings on the site. I. Specific Design 1. Recommend that Homan develop interior courts of sufficient size to permit public assemblies for concerts, trade shows, etc. 2. Strongly endorse the use of exterior views and exterior plaza areas that will function with the interior mall design. 3. Homart shall submit a proposal regarding control and requirements of interior and exterior graphics acceptable to the Village. 4. The incorporation of numerous small scale, permanent seating areas into the mall is essential. J. Community Space 1. Community spaces shall be included in the Homart Mall. These areas may be used for youth activities, shoppers lounge, Village Public Safety Department office, merchant meetings, community meetings, etc_ K. Security I. Additional police assistance costs provided by the Village for the Homart Mall, over that normally provided businesses, shall be assumed by the Mall management. L. Intensity 1, Recommend that a clustered, compact approach be used for land development in the M.C.A. and the Homart site to produce a human scale, town center environment. 2. Establish policies and development procedures that will allow flexi- bility, creative design, and construction to benefit the developer and the Village, through innovative approaches to planning, zoning, building permit evaluation, and site inspection. Page Six Procedures in Concept and Zoning Approval for Homart I would submit that because of the constraints and the uniqueness of such a project as the Homan Regional Center that the Planning Commission adopt a policy that is specifically tailored to the center. Zoning of the actual mall shopping center site, as well as specific development parcels, such as the convenience center, office/banking site, could be accomplished through the standard zoning procedure with contingencies and plan review required. The zoning of the entire 100 acre site would not be necessary ; zoning only the parcels for immediate development would be required. This would insure that the Village Planning Commission and Council would have review responsi- bilities and approval required to build any of the proposed structures on the parcels. Recommendations 1. P.U.D. Concept Plan approval be granted to the entire 100 acre plus Homart Development Company site to be developed as a Regional Shopping Mall with a four department store maximum, office, community commercial, entertainment, finance , and transportation use proposal. Future development may suggest new uses within the site and should be con- sidered if appropriate to the regional center character. 2. The parcels indicated as "future development", office, and neighborhood commercial, are not zoned until such time as a development plan is submitted. However, the land uses of these parcels is granted in the P.U.D. approval. 3. Zoning of C-Reg, is granted to Homart Development Company for the con- struction of a Regional Shopping Center located south of the intersection at West 78th Street and U.S. 212/169 used for construction of the mall, maximum of four department stores, and parking. The zoning is granted to Homart Development Company exclusively and is not transferable to other developers for the mall, department stores, and parking. 4. The C-Reg. zoning is granted based upon approval of the specific site and building plans for the mall, its related parking, and circulation systems. The Staff Report dated December 29, 1972, raises many unresolved planning and design considerations; these as well as others will be used to evaluate Homart's final development plan. Final zoning approval will take into consideration the economic concerns of the Village related to costs vs. revenues and those of Homan, relative to site improvements and physical construction cost. Page Seven 5. Homart's C-Reg. zoning is granted with the stipulation that site work on the center begin no later than May 1 , 1974. If the center is delayed beyond that date, the C-Reg. zoning will revert back to Rural under The Preserve P.U.D. 6. Concept Plan and Zoning Approval for the Homart site will be subject to the policies and guidelines adopted by the Village Council that were recommended by the Major Center Area Task Force, currently studying the 1,000 acre Major Center Area. 7. The list of specific concerns regarding the initial site plan is recommended as stipulations. These must be proven unfeasible or incorporated into the final development plan for Homart.

Heinrich, Village Manager Village of Eden Prairie 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343 Re: Open Space and Greenway Development Studies - Purgatory Creek — Village of Eden Prairie Dear Mr. Heinrich: At the last meeting of the Board of Managers of Riley- Purgatory Creek Watershed District, the managers adopted a reso- lution indicating their desire to participate with the Village of Eden Prairie in making an appropriate study and report about • the development of an open space and greenway system along Purgatory Creek from the Minnesota River to the Mitchell Road Crossing. The managers further indicated that they would be willing to participate in such a study at a cost of $5,000 pro- vided that the Village would also be willing to participate in such a study and expend a similar amount. The purpose of this letter is to advise you of such action and ask that if you and the Village Council would be interested in entering into such a cooperative program, to let the district know accordingly, at which time further discussions might be held to detail the basis upon which such a study should go forward. Please feel free to give me a call if you have any further questions regarding the district's interest and willingness to participate in such a program at this time. Very truly yours, /- r,u2i, 5, g__L 4 L. Frederick S. Richards Attorney for the District FSR/nj cc: All Managers Mr. Allan Gebhard DATE: February 23, 1973 TO: Mayor and Members of Village Council Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District Board of Managers Park and Recreation Commission THROUGH: Village Manager Bob Heinrich t FROM: Marty Jessen, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: JOINT VENTURE PROPOSAL FOR OPEN SPACE PLANNING ALONG PURGATORY CREEK In October, 1972, a preliminary joint venture proposal was submitted by the Village of Eden Prairie to the Riley—Purgatory Creek Watershed District Board of Managers. The proposal outlined briefly the technique by which the Village and the Watershed District would jointly participate in the system planning of recreational and wildlife open space along Purgatory Creek. The concept was for the two agencies to jointly finance the study and to provide appropriate staff input into the process. More specifically, we feel that the scope of the joint study ought to include three main areas: 1. Management planning for the natural habitats and hydrologic cycle of the creek. 2. Recreational planning for the use of these resources. 3. Interpretive planning for environmental education and leisure education in the natural process Management Planning The management planning process would include an overview of the area by a consulting naturalist and some statements as to the valuable natural habitats that exist along the creek today. It would also include hydrologic data completed by the Watershed District, the delineation of flood plains and flood ways, and would consider the overall Eden Prairie drainage plan which utilizes Purgatory Creek as a major storm water runoff facility. The management planning would take all of this information and develop a program by which the Village and the Watershed District could insure the continued functioning of the creek to meet these very worthwhile needs. This process would establish open space boundaries necessary along the creek to continue the functioning of the creekway for the functions previously mentioned. Management planning would consider the types of land uses adjacent to the creek which would be compatible with creek functioning. It would establish parameters within which the recreational usage and environmental usage of the creek would be developed. Recreational Planning The recreational planning stage of the process would consider and develop concept plans for the use of the land by the public in leisure pursuits. For JOINT VENTURE PROPOSAL: PURGATORY CREEK February 23, 1973 Page Two the most part, this usage would no doubt be quite passive and would be geared toward the viewing and related enjoyment from the natural features of the creekway. The recreational planning stage would also consider to some extent the impact of the Edenvale Golf Course on the Creek and would deal with potential compatible uses with the management plan in the Major Center school/park area. Recreational planning would identify where pathways would be constructed along the creek and give some frame- work upon which land developers could "tie in" to the creek system. Interpretive Planning The interpretive planning stage of the process would develop programs to maximize the educational value of the creek system for school-age students as well as the general public. The intent in this stage would be to provide interpretive facilities along the creekway in areas where they would be most appropriate and where they would be compatible with the management planning done in the first stage of the process. It would not be the intent of the inter- pretive planning stage at this point to develop specific site design standards, but rather would indicate areas where interpretive programs would be appropriate based on existing habitats and projected long-term usage planned adjacent to the creek as well as access points for this purpose could easily be provided. Summary: The function of the Purgatory Creek Open Space System is generally understood. For the most part, it would be one of passive recreation, taking advantage of the unique natural features of the creekway. The Village would initially prepare a development program for the consultant to use in the planning process. Following the initial review of this program by the consultant, representatives of the two agencies as well as interested citizens, landowners, developers, and other appropriate staff would be called together to evaluate the program and make additions or deletions as they seem appropriate. From this information, the consultant would work through the three stage planning process to develop an overall master plan for the Purgatory Creek Open Space System and also prepare a report suggesting policies necessary to protect the integrity of the system while providing appropriate recreational and interpretive use of the area. .Financing The 1973 Program Budget included a proposal for approximately $25,000 for park planning. This proposal was deleted from the Annual Budget with the understanding that a specific proposal would be considered in 1973 to be JOINT VENTURE PROPOSAL: PURGATORY CREEK February 23, 1973 Page Three financed out of the Reserve Fund. While this park was not specifica l l y listed in the 1973 Budget proposal, it is timely because of the imminen c e of development in this area, particularly the Hustad Development Corp o r a t i o n . Specific Planning Proposal We're presently working with Brauer & Assoc. to develop the specific proposal for the planning process. This proposal will be presented at t h e Council meeting on Tuesday for your consideration. MJ:kg ' 'HENNEPIN COUNTY LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES 3300 U NIVERSITY AVENUE S.E.

DATE: February 22, 1973 TO: Mayor and timbers of Village Council THROUGH: Vii la 9 e Mana9er Bob Heinrich FROM: Marty Jessen, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: PARK lONO FUND STATUS REPORT - LAND ACQUISITION AND LAWCON GRANT STATUS PARK BOND FUND Attached is a financial report indicating the current status of the Eden Prairie Park Bond Fund. It shows our current balance, those grants receivable as a result of monies previously spent in land acqui sition authorized in our 1968, 1970, and 1 971 LAWCON, Granzs, plus money receivable from tAe 1968 Hennepin County Lake Improvement ; Lind Grant. The report also slands purchases payable, which are those parcels for whi c h E d e n Prairie presentl y has cocci tment s to acquire either as a result of condemnati on proceedings concl ut,A or underway, or purchase agreements, as is the case with the Morley property, or negotiations vnich have been completed on the Bo y c e property and for which a recommendation to acquire is included for your c o n . siderati on. Final y , the report shows grants receivable as a result of the purchases payabl e,i.e., as soon as Eden Prairie spends money for the pu r p o s e of acquiring thi s land, we will be eligible to submit for reimbursement f r o m Federal and County grants previously authorized. The resul tot balance in the Park Bond Fund is the net balance indicated at the bottom of the fi rst page. The second page shows those parcel s for which Eden Prairie has made fu t u r e commitments to buy. By future commitments we mean options have been ta k e n on the Holasek property at Bryant Lake and the Blacklock and Brown properties at Anderson Lakes. It is antici pa ted that the Village will receive 100% f u n d i n g for the Anderson Lakes parcels. We are also hopeful that 100% funding might be secured for the Bryant Lake parcel s. We have made a request through the Minnesota State Planning Agency to have both parks considered for 100% S t a t e Natural Resource Funding at the Legislative Advisory Committee meeting c o m i n g up in March. We have also made application to the Hennepin County Lake Improvement Fund for some $70,000 worth of lake improvement money to a s s i s t us in the acqui si tion of the Bryant Lake parcel s. Upon receipt of not i f i c a t i o n of grant approval for the Bryant Lake and Anderson Lakes projects, fi n a l recommendations will be made to the Council to exercise the options o r s u g g e s t modifications in the acquisitions pending. The Village also has approximately $110,000 of additional grant reimbursement forthcomi ng pending the resolution with the School District of the bou n d a r y of parcels 2 and 3 at Round Lake. As you will recall, the School District purchased that property and the Village pai d $78,000 to the District as their share of the acquisi ti on, pending the resoluti on of the boundary between School and Park property. That situation has not been taken care of to date and can perhaps be done as a resul t of Phase 2 in the Joint School-Park Site Selection Study which Don Rippel is currently working on. The 840,000+ is not shown in either of the grants receivalble sections of the report. PARK BOND FUND Page 2 February 22, 1973 LAND ACQUISITION The acquisi tion of all parcels for which Eden Prairie has received final LAWCON approval has been completed and all are paid in full with the exception of the "Purchases Payable" and Parcel Number 9 at Staring Lake. That is the land owned by Mr. Grill. The size of the parcel has been modified and thus we're awaiting new approval from LAWCON for the larger parcel . The acquisitions completed are al 1 of those at Round Lake Park (incl uding the School/Village joint ownership and Savaryn condemnation); the acquisition of all of the land at Staring Lake except parcels 3,6,9,12; orsd the acquisition of all of the lari., west of Timber Trail in the "Rhino Head" .rea of Anderson Lakes except the (i acklock property for uhich an option has been secured. The Village present ly holds options to purchase all but parcel number 1 of the proposed ac(,ui si ti on at Bryant Lake. LAWCON STATUS Neither the Ander!, ,n Lakes Park LAWCON Contingency request nor the Bryant Lake Park LAWCON on haw.: received final approval. Letters have been sent to Senators ‘,0ndale and Humphrey, and Representative Frenzel requesting their assistance in bringing about a speedy approval for both projects. In the meantime, we've requested consideration be given to both projects at the March Minnesota Legislative Advisory Committee Meeting. We've requested 100% State funding for both projects because of the development pressure at Anderson Lakes and because of the chance that our short-teren options at Bryant Lake will soon be expiring. We've also asked for advance funding because of the large dollar amounts. If the requests are approved, Eden Prairi e wit 1 have the cash to purchase both park areas irmiediately. Then when and if LAWCON approval is received, the LAWCON monies will go back to the State to reimmurse the National Resources Account rather than to Eden Prairie.

DATE: February 20, 1973 TO: THROUGH: FROM: SUBJECT: Mayor and Village Council Members A N Bob Heinrich, Village Manager Marty lessen, Director of Parks and Recreation RECOMMENDED PURCHASE OF JIM BOYCE AND ED WOODY PROPERTY AT STARING LAKE FOR PARK PURPOSES -- PARCEL 10 LOCATION: On the south side of Staring Lake between the Lake and Flying Cloud Airport AREA: 15.5 acres. The land slopes gradually up from the lake on the south bluff overlooking Staring Lake. It contains several mature specimen trees on the site. OWNER: Jim Boyce and Ed Woody ZONING: Open Space on the Comprehensive Guide Plan. The present zoning is rural. PROPOSED USE: Public open space - a part of the major community park surrounding Staring Lake. APPRAISED VALUE: Two appraisals have been completed on this property. One ordered by the Village indicate s a market value of $85,250 or $5,500 per acre. The other ordered by Mr. Boyce and Mr. Woody indicate s a value of nearly $8,000 per acre, or $120,000. Value for tax purposes: (includes 30 acres plus the house) 1970 Market Value $ 87, 00 0 1972 Taxes 2,916.52 1972 Market Value 180,000 RECOMMENDED PURCHASE: The Village may purchase the land for cash at a price of $120,000. This parcel has been funded out of the 1971 LAWCON money for a lesser amount $80,000); however, based on the appraisal completed at Mr. Boyce's request, which reflects a value of $120,000 , and also based on the recent condemnation award on the Blest property across the lake from this parcel, the $120 ,000 price for this land appears to be reasonable. ET- 52, February 20, 3973 Page Two An attempt will be made to secure additional funding from LAWCON and state sources to cover the increased cost of this property. MJ:kg DATE: February 20, 1973 TO: Mayor and Village Council Park and Recreation Commission THROUGH: Bob Heinrich, Village Manager FROM: Marty jessen, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: CONDEMNATION AWARD ON THE GORDON BLESI PROPERTY AT STARING LAKE -- PARCEL 7 The condemnation commission for the Blesi, Boyce, and Nagengast properties has completed their hearings and filed an award for the Blesi parcel. The amount of the award is: Fee Award $87,500 Appraisal Allowance 300 This parcel includes 10.591 acres plus a log cabin in good condition. TheVillage had an appraisal done on the property that indicated a value of $50,400. The landowner had an appraisal done which indicated a value of $115,000. The value for tax purposes for 1973 is $75,900 LAWCON funding for one-half of an esttmpL1 value of $63,000 had previously been approved. The Village seek a LAWCON contract amendment to cover the Federal Share of the increased cost. General l y the Federal Share is increased when the cost is increased as a resul t of a condemnation award. Mj:kg DATE: February 23, 1973 TO: THROUGH: FROM: Mayor and Members of Village Cctuncil Village Manager Bob Heinrich pN Marty Jessen, Director of Parks and Recreation ti . SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR FUNDS TO SURVEY LAND ADJACENT TO NINE MILE CREEK IN THE AREA OF THE RECENT PARK DONATION FROM NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY As you all recall, in December, 1972, Northern States Power Company donated 19.3 acres of land to the Village of Eden Prairie. This land is just west of 1-494 along Nine Mile Creek. This donation came about as a result of approximately one year's effort on the part of certain private land ownors in that area working in conjunction with the Village Staff and Northern States Power in an attempt to develop a creekway trail system/open space plan in that area. Included among these land owners were Howard and Barbara Kaerwer, the Presbyterian Church, and Russell Marsh. Mr. Marsh has presented a development proposal for his land, which identifies the creekway for dedication as public open space. The Kaerwer's and Presbyterian Church representatives have indicated a willingness to donate to the Village land owned by them in the Nine Mile Creek Flood Plain area. The only cost to the Village in acquiring these properties would be for surveys necessary to provide proper legal descriptions of the properties. It is estimated that survey costs for these two parcels would be approximately $2,500. By acquiring these two parcels, the Village would then have ownership to all of the land along Nine Mile Creek between 494 and Baker Road. This would provide the basis for outdoor education sites, conservation areas, and also insure proper flood plain protection to insure the ability of Nine Mile Creek to handle anticipated storm water runoff for regional flood periods. The Nine Mile Creek Watershed District Board of Managers at their 2/21/73 meeting authorized their engineer to prepare a proposal for water quality analysis of Bryant Lake and that part of the Nine Mile Creek leading into and out of Bryant Lake. A subsequent proposal from the Village to conduct an open space and conservation management program plan for Nine Mile Creek would be appropriate. This would be envisioned as a joint venture similar to the one being considered with the Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District along Purgatory Creek.
