I .' • r PLANNING STAFF REPORT Pro ject: Westwind Applicant: The Preserve Location: In The Preserve north of the Windslope project, located centrally in The Preserve area. Request: RM 6.5 Zoning for single family detached homes and Preliminary Plat Approval for 78 lots, approximate size 8,400 sq. ft. on 26.8 acres, to be developed at a density of 2.9 dwelling units per acre. Date: March 19, 1973 From: Dick Putnam, Planner Thru: R. P. Heinrich, Village Manager OUTLINE: 1. Compatibility with Preserve mncept. 2. Relationship with Adjacent Uses. 3. Subdivision Standards. 4. Recommendations. 1. Compatibility with Preserve Concept: The revised Preserve Concept Plan, which moved the major North/South Parkway arterial to the west of the property adjacent to the lowland and in its place substituted a collector street running next to the school site and park. Also changed was the area devoted to recorational, religious center, and school use by the inclusiong of an approximately 6 acre parcel on the northeastern quadrant of the parkway and this new collector road. A revision in the original Concept Plan is to develop a major recreational/ limited scale shopping facility south of the parkway adjacent to Neill Lake, to include a pool, small gymnasium, handball, paddleball, and outdoor tennis court facilities with locker room s. Also would be included social meeting space, perhaps in toe old barns, as well as development of limited neighborhood scale commercial operations. To the north of the parkway would be developed a religious center site, perhaps ecumenical or single church development, which would share parking with the proposed elementary school site adjacent to The Preserve 22 acre park. The spine of public or quasi-public activities from Neill Lake north to the elementary school seems to make a great deal of sense. To make this function safely, the movement of the North/Southateriai to the west was necessary. I believe that this revision in concept is excellent and will produce a true social/commercial core for this neighborhood of Tho Preserve, to serve the 15,000 people, if combined sensitively with the smaller nodes related to individual housing sites. Westwind Page 2 The Westwind single family units seem to work very well with the revised plan, having single family units in close proximity to the recreational areas of Neill Lai:e and the elementary school, accessible by a major trail system and following the old Franlo Road alignment with a grade crossing at the proposed North/South collector and old Franlo. If this conning i s handled with adequate signing and pavement markings,cdequate safety would be provided for the pedestrians crossing to the school/relic;iouscenter. The Preserve has indicated a desire to provide lots and single family detached homes in the $35-$40,000 price range to complement the existing stock of homes in the higher price ranges in lfighpoint and the new lots proposed in the Basswoods. Six builders have Indicated an interest to develop these lots with specially designed homes that will fit the smaller lots with minimum frontages. The relationship of the Westwind single family homes with the proposed 236 apartments by Minneapolis C haptur of the American Institute of Architects will seem to be very compatible if proper design and siting is used. 2. Westwind's Relationship to Adjacent Use s: The original submission for Westwind with the lineal road running around the crest of the hill with lots fronting off one side did not take into consideration the proposed road serving the Westwind apartrcent lrroject, which steps down the hill to the south. In discussing the road and physical relationship of the two projects, the developers of the Westwind project -- the ALA ---felt that their road access was being jeopardized by moving it into the perking area, as well as being inefficient by providing a great deal of double frontage lots. Also, the social implications of not sharing a common access point and providing a wall of private ownership lots, not allowing pedestrian traffic to move north from the Wind slope project, did not s0em consistent with integrating the 236 project with the community. There fore, the three cul-de-sac scheme was arrived atwhich would utilize the loop road connecting the major North/South arterial with the collector originally conceived in the, Wind slope project, nerving the apartments and the three single family cul-de-sacs. There would be two pedestrian ways running to Franlo Road from the Wincislope project providing excellent access to the north and the small central play area as well as the elementary school by crossing on Franlo. 1 believe that the three cul-de-sac scheme shows a much greater relationship between the single family units and the Windstorm project through providing pedestrian connections as well as joint vehicular access. The northern subdivision which borders on vsncent laud to the north along the existing fence line row of trees should offer an excellent opportunity • Westwind Page 3 to blend the single family units with a unit style as yet undetermined in the townhouse variety, using the heavily treed fence line as the greenway sears between the two projects. The distance between housing • units, meaning structures facing each other, should be within the range of 130-160 feet, which would provide en adequate physical separation. The width and treatment of the greenway along this northern property line is yet undetermined, but we would encourage the preservation and enhancement of the existing tree line as a visual buffer as well as a significant visual landmark in the area. The northwestern cul-de-sac which will border the North/South Parkway arterial leaves 140 feet between the back property line of the units and the road. This distance should allow any berming or additional planning to be employed to reduce the noise and separate these units from the major roadway. The exact treatment for this North/South road is not hk�nown at this point, ranging from a divided parkway similar to the East vVest Parkway to a two lane major street. The proximity to the elementary school and religious center site directly to the east of the minor collector route offers great connection with the elementary school and community center to the south, across the last/ Vest Parkway through the pedestrian underpass. The connection at Frank) Road at grade seems workable since the underpass at that location would he difticult to engineer, given the existing grades. I I 3. Subdivision Standards: The construction of moderate size, single family detached homes which v.'ill generally be of the T or Lvariety, specially designed for the smaller 8,400 sq.ft. lots, seem; toho a workable concept as long as some basic performance standards rolsitud to subdivision design are followed. These oteadutrdn are outlinaaiby Nr. Jullie in the Engineering Report, which deals with lot width at the right—of-way line as well an lot width at the building setback line which determines your side yard setbacks. The traditional 15 or 20 ft. setbacks et side yards are inappropriate for this style of housing, with its relationship to the pedestrian and grouped open spaces. however, it does seem appropriate that certain design standards related to street and driveway construction must bo maintained. Therefore, I would urge special consideration of the normal subdivision requirements in accordance with the Lsgineering Department's reconunandations. 4. Summary and Recommendations: This subdivision of approximately 78 - 80 single family detached lots offering housing choices in The Preserve in tho mid-$30,000 price range will undoubtedly provide the range in housing which today does not exist • M � Westwind Page 4 in The Preserve for single family detached units. The proximity to the schools, recreation facilities, and parks is excellent and is far above any standard within the Metropolitan Area. Likewise, the economic variety that will he present in the first phase and this area of The Preserve offers a unique neighborhood to develop,which is uncharacteristic of most suburban neighborhoods, providing a wide range of housing types and income mixes. Tho ability to utilize old Franlo Road as a major pedestriean walkway within The Preserve,which is today surfaced approxi- mately two-thirds of its length, and grouping significant open spaces adjacent to old Franlo Road is an excellent concept for this single family area. The rolling character of this site will offer a natural overlook character to most of the homesites, which will provide a variety of housing types, from walkout to split entries to L or T ramblers. With the recent modifications to the three cul-de-sac scheme and with conformance with the Village subdivision requirements, it is my opinion that this will be an excellent, moderate-priced, single family development -- a credit to the Village and to The Preserve. Recomme ndations: 1. Recommend rezoning to PM 6.5 based solely upon the single family detached structures proposed in the plan dated March 19, 1973, with 80 lots indicated of approximately 3,400 sq.ft. 2. Recommend preliminary plot approval be given at the April 3, 1973, Planning Commission meeting subject to the revised engineering plans which must be in conformance with the Village Engineering Department's standards for this subdivision. 3. Recommend to the Village Council that a public hearing be set for April 10, 1973, for rezoning and preliminary plat approval.

The report • recoa1;acn:icd that the concept for the entire parcel be approved — on the ba:cis of the overall density not exceeding 10 units per acre or G05 units total as compared to the OM units prny;.oced in the appt icetion. The concrpt approval recocnmcndation also indicated that the necessary right-of-way for the proposed parl::.cy and other public road systems be provided cad that the pc,rtlen of the site on or near the Purgatory Creek flood plain be properly protected. The report recommended that the first phase 13.3 acre parcel adjacent to the Mitchell Road be remoned to the Rivi G.5 zoning classification rather than the f:iv1 2.5 classification requested and that the total number of townhouse units permitted on that site be limited to the C4 permitted under the PM 6.5 zoning requirements. The application was for 96 units on that site. The report recom- mended that the second phase area which is situated immediately to the east of the proposed first stage townhouse area he idea— titled as an apartment area but that the number of units that are proposed in that area be substantially reduced In order to prov.iclo more appropriate recognition of the steep terrain on that segment of the site. Mother recommendation was that the units to be constructed between the parkway and Purgatory Creek be clustered on the knolls of land within that area in order to protect the open spaces surrounding them. &ir. Fosnocht questioned the appropriateness of the Village at • this time committing itself to given density credit for land • sat amirle for flood plain protection in the portion of the overall proju^t locoted to the east of the proposed parkway. He sugie sted that the effect of allowing a higher density to occur on the remaining portion of that portion of the site might not be de strable. The Village Manager indicated that the protection of the area identified o, the locket proposal as flood plain was one of a number of options the Village might consider for controlling flood craters along Purgatory Creek between Highway 5 and ;tarlr.

STAFF PI.?INNING R'r.PC)RT Project: Atherton Apartments Applicant: New Town Development- Landscape Architect: Charles Wood Associates Location: Located to west of the proposed East/West Parkway just off Mitchell Road in Red Rock Request: PM 2.5 rezoning from P.U.D. for 272 rental apartment units. Date: March 16, 1973 From: Dick Putnam, Village Planner Thru: R. P. Heinrich, Village Manager CONTENTS: A. Project's Relation to P.U.D. and Red Rock Plan. B. External Influences on Project Design. C. Site Planning. D. Unit Types. E. Recommendations. A. Relationship to Red Rock Plan and Original P.U.D.: The Red Rock Plan stressed the importance of providing a variety of housing styles and income ranges as well as utilizing existing land to its optimum purpose. The apartment project as proposed seems to utilize the sloped terrain with good sensitivity to the slopes in the placement of structures and roads. The income range and the type of unit proposed is one that is not present in Eden Prairie today, appealing to the single or young married in a semi-luxury price category. The Red Rock Plan indicated that project scales should not be of large natures with vast acres of same style units, rather smaller developments more intimate in scale to utilize the natural terrain. This project does seem to fall into that category with small, individualized buildings as well as relatively low number of units for this rental project. • The original Planned Unit Development for the Atherton project indicated over 35C units to be developed on this site, which was felt to be excessive. The number of units proposed in this plan of 272 units seems to be very workable if the proper building types are sited with the steep slopes. B. External Planning Forces: Of great concern to this site is the location of the East/West Parkway which will connect at 169 with The Preserve Parkway into the north • t II • • • Atherton Apartments Page 2 • as it crosses over 212 with Baker/Mitchell Road through Edenvale and • north to the Crosstown. The alignment of this east/west road is being studied currently by Brauer& Associates, from the engineering and visual esthetics point of view. The alignment which is believed to be the most suitable alignment is not exactly what is shown on the Atherton plan. If you refer to Diagram 1, you will notice the difference from the proposed • alignment by Atherton and that by Brauers. The criteria for its alignment related to using a maximum of an 8°curve with a maximum of 5°slopes. The 80 curve and 5° slopes occur on the northern edge as it runs along the Atherton property line to intersect with 212. Brauer's proposed alignment does seem workable with the plan as proposed with some modification. 1. The loop road through the project that intersects with the East/West Parkway should have that intersection moved approximately 200-250' to the south to get off the 5° slope and onto the flat section of the roadway. 2. All units should be set back at least 100'when the building is three stories or more along this roadway. 3. The northwestern group of apartment buildings must have its entrance to line up with the realigned Scenic Heights Road to form a workable intersection. The Atherton townhouses currently being built by New Town Development are located directly southeast of the central building cluster and parking lot. These units are sale, and will be occupied by this summer. In my opinion, to protect the interests of those residents, the parking access • and garage location for the cluster of 32 units directly to the east of those townhouse units should be either moved a great distance to the east down the hill, or more appropriately, to utilize a unit that can step up the hill rather than down the hill to move the parking from the west side of the building facing the townhouses to the east side or adjacent to the looped street. This would necessitate redesign of these structures or utilizing a structure that can step up the hill. I feel this is critical to protect the investment that those buyers have placed in that site. The second area where this is possible is on the northwestern building cluster, the most southerly building, which protrudes along the slope and seems to be a visual barrier with the two end townhouse units. By merely pulling this structure back, it would seem that the view for those units could be protected as well as pulling the auto court more interior to the project. • Atherton Apart mo,its Page 3 C. Sit PN-:nninq: The basic site planniraj concept seems to be excellent, given the constn_ints of the building design. However,this site utilizing a spine central roadway with units stepping downhill and on the other side, with the uphill slope seems to indicate to me that the necessity for two building styles is not only appropriate but also necessary to develop the site as consistent with the Red Rock planning work to date. The unit flexibility which is a tuckunder garage unit with central entry to the individual units is an excellent concept if it can be utilized with the uphill concept. This particularly applies in the central 32 unit spine previously mentioned. If a unit with an uphill capability is developed, it would appear that it may be used in other areas of the site, particularly if the loop road is moved to better accommodate Its access with the East/West Parkway's redesign. The unit's flexibility with the small eight unit module would seem to Indicate that the ability to offset at least a minimum of 10 feet should be utilized in almost all locations to break up the building facade, much as Fairway Woods has done with their condominium units in Edenvale. This will visually reduce the size of the building for those along the East/West Parkway as well as the intimate scale within the parking courts. Also where the opportunity exists to break the buildings and provide space between them of significant size for visual openness would be encouraged. The recreation facilitie s proposed of two tennis courts, recreation building and exterior pool as well as substantial green open spaces provided seem to be excellent, and I would highly endorse them. Also, the provision for recreational vehicle storage is small well concealed areas seems to be well accommodated. The field game space provided near the East/West Parkway rounds out the recreational open space provided on this site, which I believe is excellent mix of developed and passive open spaces. Mr. Wood has indicated the extensive landscaping and planting of varied vegetation in areas to achieve softening of the views from the East/West Parkway with close proximity trees to the road as well as the screening of such things as recreational vehicle storage with earth mounds and vegetation, plus providing visual relief within the parking lots of the structures between the road and lots and also the softening of the views between units. In all cases, the units are over 150 feet apart and with the addition of plantings and the grade separation, this should provide an excellent living environment. Landscaping of each of the entry courts to the building with trees and shrubbery within the parking lot areas as well as small planted islands seems very important to the concept proposed. The realignment of some of the buildings as well as the development of a second building type to accommodate the grades of the slopes combined with the minor road relocations will produce basically the same site plan Atherton Apartments Page 4 with some minor modifications necessary to complement the existing units as well as the revised road location. D. Unit Type: The apartment unit proposed utilizes an interior, open staircase, unheated, with individual entrances to each apartment. The garage location on grade level under the building reduces the ground coverage for structures as well as provides ready access to each unit's garage. The units proposed with balconies and on a staggered level will aid In sound control as well as providing an interesting entrance and views from each unit. The use of the eight-unit buildings,providing amenities such as fireplaces, all kitchen appliances, and individual heating systems combined with the individual entry should provide a unit that in the future could be converted to condominiums with relative ease. The construction of these units, particularly in relationship to sound control and adequate storage space, should be of prime concern to the developer as he looks at the provision of condominium conversion in later years. This is a trend nationally, as well as in Minnesota at this point, to convert units from rental to condominium at an expedient point. The site and unit provide that opportunity. The architectural statement from these buildings shall be very critical to the project's success as well as the views from the Village Parkway. The site being a steeply sloping open field area does not seem to lend itself to the in-vogue cedarboard building that we have so often seen. Other architectural expressions would seem very appropriate on this site. In looking at a cross-section of the building and the rear elevations, one gains the feeling of a contemporary structure with an etched roof that is cut off, providing a large skylight for the stairway, as well as the recesses and fin walls on the buildings. However, when one looks at the front elevation with the arched windows, shutters, cornices, and arched garage spaces with a mixture of brick, asphalt shingles, and stucco with wrought iron, the architectural continuity seems to be greatly diminished. The expression architecturally of one vernacular such as colonial, Spanish, contemporary with a minimal variety of materials would seem to be more consistent with the building as designed. The mixture of cedar fencing with brick first story arches with stuccoed second and third story elevations combined with wrought iron railings, and window cornices and shutters seems to confuse what could be relatively straight-forward and pleasing as a facade. When the pitched and vaulted roof with skylight is added, it seems rather inappropriate to the varied architectural treatments. Similarly, the end elevation indicates wrought iron railings on the fin wall overhangs. Some of these are Atherton Apartments Page 5 utilized for balconies while othersare there merely for ornamental gingerbread. I would urge the developer as well as the architect to reconsider the choice of materials in handling the facade to unify the buildings archi- tecturally with the highly visible site which it occupies. The utilization of stucco, brick, and wood combined with the pitched roofs of dark asphalt shingles may be too many materials on such a building type and I would urge the selection of one material to state the architectural style of the structure -that style being Spanish, contemporary, colonial, or whatever. E. Recommendations: 1. Recommend that the architect and developer utilize a more simplified architectural statement in one material rather than the mixing of three materials and varied architectural styles.. 2. Recommend that the site plan be modified to accommodate the changes suggested by the East/West Parkway alignment proposed by Brauer& Associates for the Village. This will entail some building shifting as well as road intersection locations. 3. Recommend that the central building cluster adjacent to the Atherton townhouses be redesigned with a building which will utilize the step—up hill arrangement to provide automobile access to those units from the loop road to the east rather than the road between the townhouse units and the units proposed. If such a unit can not be developed, recommend deletion of those 32 units. 4. Recommend the realignment of the access road to the northwestern cluster of apartments be aligned with the Brauer &Associates alternate to coincide with Scenic Heights - Mitchell intersection. 5. Recommend that the south building in the northwest cluster be altered to eliminate any conflict with views from the existing townhouse units. 6. Where the access roads to the apartment units dead-end, sufficient turnaround space acceptable to the Village Engineering Department for emergency vehicles shall be included. 7. Recommend rezoning to RM 2.5 for the 272 rental apartment units proposed • by New Town Development, if the site plan meets the criteria of the Atherton Apartments Page 6 staff report and recommendations as well as the revised alignment of the West/West Parkway as proposed by Brauer &Associates. 8. Recommend that divided entrance magazines be used on the access roads to the project. 9. Recommend establishment of public hearing before the Village Council on April 10, 1973.

LOCATION: West Side of Mitchell Road East and South ofScenic Heights Road REQUEST: PUD Concept Plan Approval and RM 2.5 Zoning on First Stage of 13.3 Acres REFER TO: Application Booklets Dated December 6,1971 and March 6, 1972 Planning Commission Minutes of December 6, 1971 and January • Attached Comments to Rocket Development (hand written) • COMMENT: • Rocket Development Corporation's approach to development has undergone considerable change from their initial presentation in December to the revised proposal of March 6, 1972. The • addition to their development team of Peter Klose, a landscape architect, has noticeably altered their concept. Their proposal has become more sophisticated during the period it has been before the Commission. Rocket Development has been working with Shelter Corporation • regarding the public street between their properties. An agree- ment as to the road location has been reached which is accep- table to the village staff. • The March 6, 1972 proposal is a new plan which the Commis- sion should review in the context of the REDROCK plan. gelationship to existing land use - the Rocket Development is isolated from existing developments and consistent with the REDROCK Plan. • ,Relationships to natural features - -The first phase townhouse section is on gently rolling, relatively level land and does not present any soil or drainage problems. -The 24 acre section on the west side of the Parkway has slopes from 15 per cent to 6 per cent which present some constraints in development. The proposed 6 unit 2-3 story structures is an • appropriate type for this slope condition. The 24.2 acre section east of the Parkway has 9 acres within the Purgatory Creek flood plain with soil limitations. The remainder of the site will support buildings, but clusters or groups of buildings would be . most appropriate on a 20 foot high knoll. The preservation of the knoll and the flood plain should be required in planning development in the future. • Relationships to land suitability • • -The townhouse project is on the same type land as Shelter's first phase and wil present no construction problems. The , critical feature will be the environment created by the addi- tion of the 96 units on the flat land. The structural type and optional floor plans offer good flexibility to vary the • . height to suit the terrain. The landscaping and recreational space use is critical to success, but if the proposed earth forms and plantings are incorporated, the development should • - be a proud residential environment. • • . -The apartment phase west of the parkway requires more care • ..in siting buildings and planning but will provide for excellent views from the, slopes. The retention of the open area on the • • north to provide recreation space and visual relief from struc- . tural massing is critical to the proposal. More study must - be done of the request for rezoning to insure that each struc- . • : . ture relates well to the site. Rocket Development has demon- strated that they are aware of the special requirements of this site and will be addressing the site more thoroughly as the apartment phase is developed. ...The east side of the parkway will require specialras parts • of the site are not developable, while others have slopes ' . greater than 15 per cent. . Community force s r -Rocket's townhouse phase will be moderate income range. The mix of rental and sale units is consistent with the RED- ' ROCK objectives. A recommended average net density of 10 • units/acre would coincide with the Redrook plan. Needs and objectives 1 c, -Utilization of natural resources - The proposed townhouse • stage A conforms to the requirements of the site, The B ' area adjacent to the parkway has slope conditions that will limit the density of the development. A reduction in the pro- posed 348 apartment units is suggested to better meet the • requirements of the terrain. Area C presents problems and • ' will require that the 9 acres of flood plain be protected and . that buildings be clustered. -Utilization of personal resources - It is recommended that Rocket Development continue to employ professionals in the • • development process. The team needed to complete a quality project of over 500 units must include capable people from many disciplines. • ,Quality of design, image, vitality-Townhouse stage A will be a well planned project if some units are removed to create • _ 'larger, more meaningful open spaces. A critical factor is the r treatmont of the interior court used for parking. The proposed t earth mounds and extensive landscaping will provide a very ' pleasant space. Detailed design as well as plant material bond to °Mean Lire acr;rr tiC•'iio0 anrj oiti iUOgs Will 0 Flo completing these spaces. The townhouse area can be a good • residential environment with care given to detail. -Vehicular and pedestrian movement- The use of Mitchell and Atherton Roads as access points for stage A is consistent with Village policy. Also, the access to stage B off of these . streets is most desirable. The internal, private street systems are workable and do not present major problems. ' ' The pedestrian pathways are well conceived to connect tot i~ lots and recreation facilities with individual units. The con- .. nection along the parkway to Shelter's pathway system is con- !. sistent with Village park planning. • -Parks and open space-The open space provided in the townhouse stage will be enhanced greatly by removing about 10 units to • provide a lin15. to the recreation area on the slope in B. The • tot lot locations in A are well placed so as not to conflict with individual units. The'north cluster of apartment units in B is sited in a grove of trees and will require extreme care. • Development of area C must respect the land in the flood plain. Village and developer cooperation can best utilize the site for multiple density residential while protecting the flood • • plain. The provision of two swimming pools and tennis courts might best be handled as a joint venture between adjacent developers or the Village. The potential for public recreational facilities of the Village Center should be examined as development pro- gresses. . The plan • • -Densities- The Redrock Plan indicates the average density for this area as 10 units/acre. The Rocket proposal is higher than this overall density. Rocket's 60.52 acres (excluding the Mitchell Road right of way) would permit a total of 605 units conforming with the Redrock Plan. The current Rocket • proposal has 814 total units with a density of 14 units/acre. ' The density within the townhouse stage A is 7.2 units/acre including the Mitchell Road right of way. The request for rezoning to RM 2.5 would permit many more units on this site whereas RM 6.5 zoning, the normal townhouse density category, would reduce the unit total to 86 and produce a bet- ter single family attached development. -General-The basic changes in the Rocket proposal would make • the development consistent with the Redrook Plan and the Eden • Prairie Comprehensive Plan. Recommendation 1.The overall density for the 60.5 acres should be 10 units/acre i h thereby allowing 605 units. The current proposal has 814 units ` producing a density of about 14 units/acre. 2.The parkway right of way should be given to the Village, and . the flood plain protected without penalizing the developer. • J • . •• - Rocket - 4 • '.3. The townhouse 13.3 acre section should be rezoned to RM 6.5 permitting a total of 86 units. • :` 4. The area B apartments are appropriate for the terrain, but the. number of units is excessive. 5. Area C will require clustering of the proper structural type • to preserve vital open space. 6. Concept approval be given to Rocket Development Corpora�— , ' tion's revised development plan for the 60.5 acre site•Lvest• of 1vlitchell Road if the previous recommendations are met. • • • ..,;V., b 4. ti I . • k ` -047 t,(t y• • t • • • t • • :r, • 4 _ a j . w T:et,i1, `XNTJ w �•� .�� .

Putnam shoved the Commission m4anhers varies uses of clusters and voiced his opinion that the Reeder-Zachnan concept did not incorporate the best use for the site in question. In response to a question from l'rs. Schee, Hr. Zachnan said they considered the proposed units as single detached townhouse with no homeowners association. A house for the middle income family!dill be provided. hr. Peterson addressed himself to the Engineering report reconnendation 1 saying that if they were to comply a townhouse would be the only type of unit which could 5e built; Staff report recornendation 6 showing if the 130' distance were conplied with, the only 3 rods of townhouses would be buildable; Staff report recommendation E indicating that if the units did not face lbedhill, they would not be usable; therefore, increacinq the price of the other units in the development by $500. Prs. Schee requested clarification of the douhle car/single car garage option, fir. Zachnan explained the most people w111 buy a double garage but the buyer s:rould have the option. Space would be provided to expand the oversized 14' single garage. In answer to Fir. Sorensen's query regarding the recreational vehicles, ilr. Zachnan said that restrictive covenants would cover this storage probl en. Cr. Zachnan in answer to Hrs. f'eyers said that the homes could be built on the lot line and that no fire wall would have to be built. homes would cost between $30,000 and $35,000. Hr. Williams of the Human Rights Commission said that they arc interested in providing homes for the $9•11,00t1 income range family. fir. Peterson felt that Edenvale has strived to nake this kind of housing available with the Zachnan 7th addition being a good design. Action Taken: Pr. Sorensen made a motion recommending disapproval of the Edenvale plat. Pr. Casey seconded. !lotion carried unanimously. 1 3/6/73 Planning Commission Minutes B. Edenvale 7th Addition, zero lot line homes proposed by Reeder/ Zachman on a 6.8 acre parcel in Edenvale's northwest area.lir. Don Peterson explained the plan for the site and Pir. Zachman showed the hone design which will be geared toward first-home families, ilr. Peterson said, would be members of the Edenvale home owners association; but, in addition to this, covenants for this particular site would be written. The zero lot line detached hones %sill be priced between $30,000 and $40,000. Action Taken: Investigation, report and recommendations were requested of the Village Staff. •PLANNING STAFF REPORT: Applicant: Zachman Homes Project: F.denvale 7th Addition • Location: Edenvalo's northwest area at the corner of Woodhill Drive and Woodland Drive Request: RDA 6.5 zoning from P.U.D. designation, and preliminary plat approval for 30 single family detached lots to be built as zero lot line orr— clustered single family homes Date: March 16, 1973 From: Dick Putnam, Village Planner Thru: R. P.Heinrich, Village Manager CONTENTS: 1. Compatibility with Edenvale Plan. 2. Compatibility with Natural Site and Related Uses. 3. Site Plan Analysis. 4. Recommendations. 1. Compatibility with Edenvale Plan: This site is part of an area in Edenvalo that was approved at a gross density of 5.8 dwelling units per acre. This site is adjacent to the Hipp's townhouse project, of which the first phase is approved. The original concept for serving this parcel was with a loop street rather than with a two cul-de-sac system combined with adjacent parcels. The proposal for the clustered single family use with two cul-de-sacs seems consistent with the original Edenvale Comprehensive Plan. The provision of housing for the family units in the low $30,000 price range supports the Eden Prairie and Edenvale policy of providing a broad range of housing costs. The relationship to existing land use as proposed in the Hipp's project adjacent to the Edenvale 7th Addition would be townhouses that would parallel the Woodhill Court or western cul-de-sac to the west of this site. The distance between structures as proposed would be approximately 90 feet, fronting directly onto each other. The northerly two or three units would have a hill of approximately 8-9 feet high, if it is not removed, between those units and the adjacent units. However, the southerly units aro in basically the same grade as those proposed in the llipp's project. 2. Site Features: The site is a high knoll which drops from elevation of about 937' to approximately 900', dropping off to the southeast from approximately • Edenvale 7th Addition Page 2 the tot-lot area in the center of the site. The rolling site offers the opportunity to build units with a walkout as well as a split-entry capability on both cul-de-sacs, which will permit a variety of unit styles. The other significant featuresof the sitea:e the two heavily wooded areas on the northwestern corner through which the Woodhill Court cul-de-sac cuts and the areas of trees on the southeast corner which buffers against Woodland Drive. Basica lly the remainder of the site is open as field cover today. Of significant importance is the ability to utilize land forms to the best advantage by providing buffers between housing units as well as providing a variety of housing units. The clustered single family unit concept would offer this opportunity, utilizing different floor plans. 3. Site Plan Analysis: 'The concept for traffic movement within Edenvale utilizes the collector streets unencumbered by individual driveways, looping through the community with local individual house access roads clustered off the major streets. Woodhill Drive and Woodland Drive are two of these major streets which front on this project. The two cul-de-sac streets provide access for 28 of the housing units proposed. However, there arc Iwo units on the corner that would take acce ss directly off Woodhili Drive. These are the only units -- single faintly, townhouse, . or whatever -- that have been proposed to take access directly off these collector streets. Therefore, it seems inconsistent, particularly at the intersection of two collector streets within Edenvele's northwest area, to utilize the collector streets as access roads. 'The street right-of-way width for the proposed cul-de-sacs of 44 feet would not allow on-street parking for these units. Likewise, the cul-de-sac radius of 50 ft. right-of-way and 40 ft. radius to the curb line of the street presents some problem with the way the units are oriented. (Refer to sketch) As you can see, the driveways overlap when they meet at the curb line and in many cases, provide less than the required driveway width for a normal two-car garage, let alone the problem of snow removal and the piling of the snow. The minimum Village standards for lot width at cul-de-sac of a detached unit is 50 ft. , when dealing with a 50 ft. radius right-of-way. This is a performance standard based upon the necessary room between the driveways of homes located on cul-de-sacs for utility easement space, visual green area, and snow piling during the wintertime. This leaves only a distance of less than 20 feet between driveways with that Edenvale 7th Addition Page 3 • arrangement. In my opinion and the Village Engineer's opinion, 50 ft. is the minimum for adequate service on public streets within any subdivision, even on a clustered, single family home, being a detached residence. I also believe that visually looking at the clustered home area from a cul-de-sac would be rather dull and monotonous given the tremendous amount of asphalt paving that would be necessary to make the proposed plat workable. The proximity of units to each other, i.e., distance between facing walls, seems to me to he very tight in certain areas, particularly with the two cul-de-sac units fronting each other and, at the extremes, where the units front onto adjacent properties. The concept behind the clustered single family on a small lot, I believe, does not Involve putting units within 60 ft. fronting on to each other. The Idea of smaller, private lots reducing the wasted space and side yards will produce significant grouped open space that is usable by all of the residents. Also, the orientation of the units is very critical for the success of such a project. Just as with townhouse projects where the view or the omni-directional unit must have good vistas from the one viewing side, likewise the clustered single family is the same. The . limited side yard space or patio space is warranted if there is the evailibility of an uncluttered and open view in one direction, or there is significant plant screening or hill Jonas. In my opinion, the distances proposed in this plat of 60 ft. between buildings in two instances and 64 ft. in others is not consistent with the concept of the patio house. Likewise, in the ends of the cul-de-sac, the units that are 20 ft. and 3E1 ft. from property lines will undoubtedly be fronting onto other units in very close proximity. To the west, the Hipp's units are located apprcximately 90 ft. from the front of the units proposed. The three northern units would seem to he acceptable if the wooded character and the hill form are preserved, but the lower units are at the same grade with what will 1)0 a limited amount of vegetation between them. Also, the direct parallel views not oriented askew of each other is not the ideal planning approach. To give you a feel for the comparison, in the single family plats that we have approved for normal 13,500 sq.ft. lots, an average depth would be approximately 100 ft. by 90 ft. wide. If two of those are back-to-back, the distance between the normal house,given the 30 ft. setback and a 25'tt. deep house, would be 190 feet between structures parallelling each other. We realize that in the denser, or clustered housing arrange- ments, 190 ft. may not be possible due to the economics of the area. Ilowever, the 6 0 ft. dimension does seem to me to be a considerable • amount below an acceptable minimum, which may be somewhere in the . i Edenvale 7th Addition Page 4 range of 100 - 130 ft., assuming a flat, unobstructed view. Also, without detailed design and, in fact,any design that I have of these +f units, I cannot tell if the orientation of bedroom to living room or living room to living room is a factor or not. I believe the distances are much too tight on the prime viewing sides of these units. 11 The workability of the plan presented, both economically and engi- neering-wise, is most certainly possible. I feel a more important questions is one of quality of life and what amenities are being built in within close proximity to these units or the units themselves. It is true that Edenvale has extensive open space trail systems and significant public park dedications: however, I do not believe that that concept is consistent with the concept of locating units that are not able to stand on their own, in terms of desirability of site planning. Proximity to larger open spaces does entitle the developers to develop their residential areas at a higher density that would normally be allowed within a standard single family area. However, that higher density must be done with an equal degree of sensitivity to the needs of the individual. Along that vein, thorn is a substantial need for semi-personal open space adjacent to each of the units. If you will remember in the Edenvale 6th Addition, the single family subdivision, we had asked that the developers because of the distance to open space areas, should provide approximately 200-250 sq.ft. area for open field game/child play space. This space was felt to be significant to have a sandlot softball game or a game of tag or whatever for children, or young adults of semi-active recreation. That was in a single family subdivision of `_3.5 lots. In dealing with the clustered or townhouse areas, these areas are expected in any project. Granted, the scale of the 30 unit clustered area may not provide such a large space a s would be expected in an 80 acre subdivision. However, the availability of such a space near these residences is equally important. The original submission indicates an area defined with easement lines as tot-lot, which is a triangle approximately 100 ft. by 110 ft. in scale which would most certainly offer the tot-lot area. The recent letter and sketch which you have received indicates that the tot-lot area would be eliminated and a 10 ft. pedestrian easement would be included down the center, thereby eliminating that space and putting the private yards to that walkway. With the small lots and extremely tight configuration of this plat, I would not recommend the elimination of the quasi-public space for recreational areas and, in fact, I would encourage the enlargement of that space to fullfill the needs of those residents in close proximity to their homes. As we know, the idea of grouped open • Edenvale 7th Addition Page 5 space makes a great deal of sense if there are smaller open spaces that are usable for informal activities near the units. The units them- selves provide the private, clustered patio space on the side yard between that and the other unit,which is an excellent private outdoor room. However, the next scale space which is the small scale or tot-lot open space area, will not be provided in the amended proposal. The unit described on this plat and presented at the meeting with a water color rendering appeared to be a rather attractive and well-designed unit. However, since I have not received any floor plans, elevations, or schematic diagrams of these units, I cannot comment on their relation- ship to the site nor their relationship to each unit as proposed in the plat. Likewise, Mr. Zachman's letter dated March 9, 1973, amending the original submission asked that the homeowner's association for the 30 unit cluster be eliminated and that function be taken over by the Edenvale Association. This should have Harlan Perbix's opinion on as well as the Edenvale's new council. The second amendment offers that the original proposal for e double car garage would he amended to include the single car garage and the double car garage as an option. This would be acceptable to the Village it it is acceptable to Edenvale, which requires in their single family and townhouse projects a two car • garage space, if my understanding is correct. I believe the reasoning that Mr. Zachman uses for they reduction from a two to one car garage, which is "I don't anticipate that we would sell any houses with single car garages;however, it does help in merchandising to quote the lower price." It does not seem like the most appropriate reason for elimination of a two car garage merely to attract buyers with the lower price, which they will through en option add on to. As a planning solution, this would not be acceptable reasoning. However, the one car garage is acceptable by the Village standards. 4_ Recommendations: A.. Recommend the changes suggested by the Village Engineering Depart- ment to conform with our standards for roadway easement and drainage areas. 13_ Recommend that a minimum distance between any two structures fronting on other structure s be no less than 130 ft. and should be greater where possible. C . That a tot-lot or open space area would be provided in the central area if the project is approved and redesigned, that is, of usable • size for the functions intended. • Fdenvale 7th Addition Page 6 D. That units in lot 31 and 30 that front directly onto the Woodland Drive have a back yard distance between road right-of-way and structure much greater than 30 ft. as indicated. E. That the two units that would front onto Woodhill Drive be redesigned to utilize the interior street systems, or be used for another purpose. F. That the siting of any units that would require tree removal be field staked so that significant tree species are preserved and that units are movable to preserve major tree stands. G. Recommend disapproval of the rezoning to RM 6.5 based upon the Edenvale 7th Addition plat of 31 lots and the March 9, 1973, amendments proposed by Zachman Homes for the reason mentioned in the Staff Report and Engineering Report. H. Recommend disapproval of the submitted preliminary plat for the Edenvale 7th Addition of 30 lots proposed by Zachman Homes based upon the Planning and Engineering Staff Reports.

JF:kg 3-;A r • VILLAGE OF EDEN PRAIRIE HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 596 A RESOLUTION ADOPTING GUIDELINES FOR MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Council of the Vil lege of Eden Prairie, County of Hennepin, Minnesota as follows: THAT the following guidelines are adopted in considering an industry's request to issue Municipal Industrial Development Bonds, 1. Only new construction or plant expansion amounting to S500,000 or more would be eligible for financing through Municipal Industrial Development Bonds. 2. Complete set of audits for two previous years must be provided. 3. A copy of Dun and Bradstreet's most recent Rating Report must be provided. 4. There must be"minimum coverage" of 2 X the Principal and Interest due earned annually the previous year before taxes. For example, a $1,300,000 bond issue requires approximately$125,000 in annual principal and interest. Therefore, $250,000 must have been earned before taxes by the company the previous year. There must also be br a demonstrated record of yearly increases in earnings before taxes. 5. The fair market rental value of the building must equal to or exceed : the total amount of bonds and interest die. An appraisal may be required to verify fair market rental value. 6. Administrative and legal costs to issue the bonds will be paid by the applicant industry. ADOPTED by the Village Council at a regular Coun meeting October 10, 1972. o ata out R. Redpath, yor ATTEST: SEAL Edna M. Holmgren, Clerk "'A' , +r,ti RogerBoer er Member B B introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 683 RESOLUTION GIVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO A PROJECT UNDER THE MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ACT, REFERRING THE PROPOSAL TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR APPROVAL,AND AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF NECESSARY DOCUMENTS BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Council of the Village of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, as follows: It is hereby found, determined, and declared as follows: 1.1 The welfare of the State of Minnesota requires active promotion, attraction, encouragement and development of economically sound industry and commerce through governmental acts to prevent so far as possible emergence of blighted lands and areas of chronic unemployment, and the state has encouraged local government units to prevent such economic deterioration; 1.2 Rosemount Inc., a Minnesota corporation(hereinafter, the Company), is considering constructing and equipping an addition to its presently existing building in the Village,designed, suitable and to be used for manufacturing, handling, storing,warehousing, processing and shipping products of manufacture, consisting primarily of measurement and control instruments, principally temperature and pressure sensors; 1.3 The proposed improvements in the Village would add to the tax base of the Village and overlapping taxing authorities, would increase employment and add to the level of economic activity in the area, and enhance the reputation or image of the Village as a desirable location for suitable industries; 1.4 The Village has been advised by representatives of the Company that conventional, commercial financing to pay the capital cost of the project is available only on a Iimited basis and at high costs of borrowing. The Company has also advised this Council that with the aid of municipal financing, and its resulting low borrowing cost, the project is economically more feasible; 1.5 This Council has been advised by a representative of Paine Webber Jackson &Curtis, Inc. of Minneapolis, Minnesota, investment bankers and dealers in municipal bonds, that on the basis of information submitted to them and their discussions with representa- tives of the Company and potential buyers of tax-exempt bonds, industrial development revenue bonds of the Village could be issued and sold upon favorable rates and terms; 1.6 The Village is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 474, to issue its revenue bonds to finance capital projects consisting of properties used and useful in connection with a revenue-producing enterprise, such as that of the Company, engaged or to be engaged in manufacturing, handling, storing, warehousing,processing and shipping products of manufacture and the issuance of such bonds by the Village would be a substantial inducement to the Company to expand itc existing facility within the Village. 2. On the basis of information given the Village to date, it appears that it would be In the best interest of the Village to issue its industrial development revenue bonds under the provisions of Chapter 474 to finance the project described above at a cost presently estimated to be approximately$1,500,000. 3. The project and bond issue above referred to are hereby given preliminary approval by the Village, subject to approval of the project by the Commissioner of Economic Development and to the mutual agreement of this body, the Company and the initial purchasers of the bonds as to the details of the bond issue and provisions for their payment. In all events, it is understood, however, that the bonds of the Village shall not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance legal or equitable upon any property of the Village except the project,and each bond, when, as, and if issued, shall recite in substance that the bond including interest thereon is payable solely from the rentals received from the project and property pledged to the payment thereof, and shall not constitute a debt of the Village. 4. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes,Section 474.01, Subdivision 7, the Mayor is hereby authorized and directed to submit the proposal for the project to the Commissioner of Economic Development, for his approval of the project.

We had record sales exceeding $19 million,and logged our first million-dollar profit year. Results were over 20%ahead of 1971. We always have stressed the importance of people at Rosemount. Too often, acknowl- edgement of their importance is only incidentally mentioned or even ignored.Because our growth and success is so highly dependent on the performance and loyalty of our employees,we wish to first recognize them. Rosemount sells a wide variety of highly technical instruments to many different mar- kets.In order to grow and to be successful,people at all levels must analyze situations, make commitments,and take action.Our good results for last year were made possible by Rosemount people throughout the world performing at a very high level.We recognize this contribution, and we extend our sincere thanks. Our plan for growth has been to apply aerospace technologies to industrial markets,and to become a major factor in those markets.With approximately$7 million in industrial instru- ment sales for 1972, we cannot say that we are yet a major factor in those markets,or that our plan is complete.But we can report good progress,and that in itself is unique:Few,if any,aero- space companies have been able to make this transition. Our transition from heavy aerospace dependency is not being achieved through aban- donment of our traditional markets.We're pleased to report good growth and support in these areas.Sales from defense and space markets were upfrom$6.6 million to approximately PPr y$7.9 million,about 42% of the total sales. Commercial aviation sales were up 17%,to$2.7 million. We estimate there are some 3,600 commercial aircraft flying with Rosemount instruments on board.This represents a good replacement market for us,and gives a prospect for continuing good sales. Total industrial instrument sales were up 23%, to nearly $7 million.Our increase re- sulted largely from increased sales to energy markets.Nuclear and conventional power plants, natural gas transmission,and petroleum refining are the major components of our energy mar- ket. Energy shortages, and damages to our environment, are creating additional demands for our instruments. We've had excellent reception of ROTOPANELS, our line of movable office partitions for "officescaping."This resulted in substantial growth in sales and earnings for Rosemount Partitions,Inc. Uniflo Systems Company(USC) received and completed its first government contract for $98,000. The work performed was well-received by the Department of Transportation 4 •I / ! 11 ! 11 _ t ... asp-•— _ MANAGEMENT TEAM (from left):Donald M.Sullivan,vice president; Robert W.Hanson,secretary-treasurer;William L.Murray,vice president; Vernon H.Heath,president;Richard V.DeLeo,vice president,and Willard L.

(DOT),and follow-up work is being negotiated.USC is still operating at a loss,but there was improvement over 1971. One of our primary targets for future growth is the international market. In 1972,inter- national sales increased to$4.2 million, or 22% of our total sales.We opened five new sales offices in Europe.This investment will continue in 1973.We also will invest in additional activi- ties in Canada,Brazil and Mexico. During the year we purchased the remaining 5% minority interest in our English sub- sidiary.The purchase was from Barry Rogal,founder of the II-year-old English company.He now is based in Zug, Switzerland and from there directs overall Rosemount European opera- tions. Our English company has consistently earned good profits.Our new sales offices,plus England's entry into the Common Market, should expand their operations. During 1972,changes in international currency values caused a net reduction in earn- ings of 5 cents per share,compared with a 6 cents per-share increase in 1971. We are pleased that,starting in January, Rosemount is listed in the National Over-the- Counter daily stock quotations in The Wall Street Journal, and some thirty other major news- papers around the U.S. Our NASDAQ symbol is ROSM.

Rosemount's Position Taking advantage of its capabilities as a supplier of accurate measuring instruments,Rosemount began to de- velope a plan for the energy markets in 1967,with the first significant sales made to fossil-fueled electrical generating stations in the United Kingdom. By 1970, the Company had secured a small but growing position as a supplier of critical temperature measurement instruments to the nu- clear element of the U.S. electrical utility business. Shipments to the energy markets became more signifi- t cant in 1971 with the first deliveries of"ALPHALINE" pressure and flow transmitters for refineries.This is par- ticularly important because the potential for pressure and flow instrumentation is more than twice that of tempera- t' Lure in these markets. Although R.osemount's shipments to the energy mar- kets are rapidly growing, the Company must still be re- garded as a small factor, with about 5-10% of the business.Viewed from a different perspective,however,it seems that there is ample room for continuation of the recent growth.
