IIIPETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COHMUNICATIONS
A. Request by Brem Corporation to appear before the Village Counc il
regarding their application for an on-sale intoxicating liquor
license.
Mr. Bill Geimer, representing Brem, presented the on-sale liquor
license request and ac knowledged his client's understanding of
the compl ete Investigation required by the Village ordi nance
with a fee of $1500. It was also their understanding that the
Village was not issuing any licenses at this time and they wished
this matter clarified.
Mr. Geimer reported that Mr. Robert E. Haugen and lit. Edward A.
Si ipka would be purcha sing the Brand ing Iron property on the c on-
di tion that a 1 icense be granted. A considerable investment i n
improvements and for working capital and inventory in addition
to the purchase price would be made. Mr. Ruzic would have no
interest in the property except to hold a contract for deed.
A concern about a pre-determined pol icy in regard to issuance of
any licenses was expressed by dr. Geimer. A thorough investiga-
tion and consideration of the application on its own merits was
urged.
fir. Redpath explained that three licenses would be granted with
one reserved for a possible municipal store. The staff was in
to notify al 1 appl icants that applications should be
turned in if there was any interest. That notification was
mailed Tuesday, October 9. There is neither a pre-determined
policy on the issuance of liquor licenses nor other formal app 1 1-
cations submitted.
After lir. Geimer was informed that i f the entire $1500 investi -
gative fee is not required, the remainder would be returned to
the applicant, Mr. Geimer requested that the application be
processed. The request was referred to the staff.

prompted the request for the study. In addition, the 1394,
212/169 and 62 Crosstown studies are not well coordinated.

Highway Department will assume leadership roles in the study.
The study will reexamine 212/169 and examine Hwy. 5 and the
62nd Crosstown.

ing Resolution No. 776 authorizing the Village of Eden Prairie

V.REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS:
A. Report of Public Safety Director and Fire Chief:
1. Report of Lake Region Mutual Aid Associati on Fire Fighting
School.
Chief Ray Mitchell , co-chairman of the committee, reported
that the thirteen departments interested i n establishing
training facilities at the St. Boniface site would each
donate $100 to finance the report.
$1385 would be the total first year expend iture--$275 Eden
Prairie's share of the partial payment for purchase of the
site and $1110 our share in getting the site operational.
Council Meeting -4- October 9, 1973
V.A. Report of Public Safety Director and Fire Chief (Continued)
Possible ways of raising money were outlined :
1. Bu lid a target range for private groups and/or police
departments.
2. Permit storage by companies with the latter mainta in-
ing security.
Mrs. Meyers questioned whether the thirteen communities would
share equally in the initial sta rt-up cost and then contri-
bute on the basis of rate of use and number of men in the
department. Chief UI tchell repl led that a joint powers agree-
ment would stipulate the conditi ons of membership.
Hr. Heinrich recommended the project and added that perhaps
the federal government should donate the site and state
monies be secured to get things off the ground.
A motion was made by lir. McCulloch seconded by Mrs. Meyers
authorizing to indicate that the Village is in favor of
participating in the acqui sition of the St. Boniface miss lie
site as recommended by the report of October 1, 1973.
B. Report of Village Manager:
1. Feeders Inc. request for grading and land a iteration permit.
Wr. John Keefe, representing Feeders, introd uced Mr. Macl ay
Hyde, a member of Feeders management. Mr. Hyde explained
that Feeders is requesting a grading permit and as required
by the ordinance the plans for 1 and use and development have
been submitted.
Mr. Hyde stated that three items were important in their
point of view:
a. That their request be granted to remove the dilapidated
bui ldings presently on their property.
b. That their appl ication for grading be processed as
qui ckly as poss ible with the concept pl ans reviewed by
the various commissions. Hopefully these plans will
make sense and will meet the building a nd zoning codes
of the Village.
c. That, since the ring road in their view is neither neces-
sary nor adds to the potential of their property, some
adj ustments could be made I n the alignment to conform
to the land use development plans submi tted.
When Mr. Keefe stated that the building remo val was a press-
ing matter and that the Village fire department has offered
to burn down the structures, Mr- Heinrich replied that the
removal could be handled administratively at the Village Hall.
Council Meeting -5- October 9, 1973
V.B. 1. Feeders, Inc. (Continued)
Mr. Heinrich reported that Vi llage agencies, watershed
di s trict as well as the department of natural resources

that the staff advise Feeders of meetings called so that
they could participate and supply any information which
could be helpful -
A motion was made by Mr. Penzel seconded by Mr. Boerger:
a . referring the grading permit application of Feeders,
Inc. to the Village Manager for staff review and the
Planning Commission and Park and Recreation Commission
for review and recommendations;
b. requesting the Major Center Area Task Force to convene
to review the Feeders, I nc. grading permit application;
c . instructing the staff to keep the applicant informed of
scheduled meetings.
Mot ion carried u manimou sly.
2. Authorization to receive proposals for a 1250 gpm Fire
Pumper.
Mr. Penzel reply ing to the specifications listed urged the
Council to have the vehicle purchased in the new recommended
col or of lime green. Chief Ray Mitchell stated that if all
fire apparatus throughout the nation were green he could go
along with that recommendation. He added that the members
of the fire department were i n total agreement for a red
vehicle.
The pumper would not be recei ved until early 1975 and de-
livered FOB. Adequate space is available to house the pumper
in the present f ire station.
The motion was made by Or. Boerger seconded by Mr. McCulloch
authorizing the Village Manager to advertise and receive bids
for one 1250 gpm Fire Pumper. Motion carried unanimously.

in a traffic study regarding an interchange at Valley View

MINUTES
1973 SPECIAL ASSESSMENT HEARING
Eden Prairie Vii lage Hall October 3, 1973-7:30 P.M.
Council Members: Mayor Paul Redpath, Joan Meyers, John McCulloch,
Wolfgang Penzel, Roger Boerger.
Council Staff: Village Manager Robert Heinrich
Vii lage Engi neer Carl Jul lie
11r. Heinrich wel corned those attending to the annual special assess-
ment hearing which follows the individual public utility hearings
held throughout the year. He stated that the official notice of
the hearing had been published and notices nailed to each affected
property owner.
Explaining action needed to be taken by the residents if the reso-
lution approving the 1973 special assessments were adopted, Mr.
Heinrich said that the County would be doti fled who in turn would
notify the banks. Property owners could pay the total assessment
on or before November 14 without paying int crest. Otherwise the
payment is spread over twenty years with a 6.6% interest rate. Pre-
payments can be made at the Village Hall.
Because the Council members were familiar with each assessment
project, Mr. Carl Jul 1 ie outlined only those projects in which the
members of the audience were interested. The attachment identifies
each project and its related cost.
1.STN 72-4-1 - Kirk Meadows and Westgate Area
Fir. Gordon Carlson, 7352 Franklin Circle, asked why residents in
the Franklin Circle/Valley View Road area should be assessed when
In fact the area water flowed east rather than west into the pro-
posed basin.
Mr. Ronald Conley, 7305 Frankl in Circle, expressed the view that it
seemed inappropriate to assess when the water flowed to the east.
Mr. Jullie repli ed that an extensive survey and study was made of
the area and that pickups to carry the water would be installed
when the road is upgraded and grading might be necessary to enable
the proper flow_
2.STR 72-3-05 - Baker-Mitchell Road and Valley View Road
Mr. James Gillespie, representing Eden Land Corporation, stated
that the needs of the area were determined to be a 36 foot 9 ton
road south of the creek; a 36 foot 7 ton road north of the creek;
and a 32 foot 7 ton on Valley View. $80,000+ was spent to that end.
Further he said that the road capacity requ irements were greater
than needed by Edenval e; credit should be g iven for the work
already put into the road; objection was gi yen to putting a $251
running foot charge on the road facing the golf course.
1973 Special Assessment Hearing -2- October 3, 1973
2.STR 72-3-05 (Continued)
Hr. Redpath commented that on the evening the project was ordered
in no objections were made. I t was also poi nted out that the golf
course was part of the developmient and credit was received when the
PUD was approved.
Mr. Lawrence Felsenberg, Oak Manor, echoed Mr. Gillespie's remarks
adding that the road is premature since people affected to the
north have not been approached if the road should continue through.
Hr. Henrich mentioned that the continuation of Mitchell/Baker Road
is perhaps two years off.
lir. Felsenberg strongly objected to the amount of the assessment.
Mr. Penzel pointed out that the developers are not assuming the
total cost; the Village is plc king up about 40%.
3.SAN 72-1-02 and HTR 72-2-02 - Lincol nwood Addition.
4.SAN 72-1-08 and l!TR 72-2-08 - Westgate West Area.
Mrs. Linda Ryski, 1 6170 Westgate Drive, was informed of how the
lending institution would receive notice for raising their escrow.
5.SAN 72-1-11 and UTR 72-2-11 - Westgate East Area.
6.SAN 72-1-28 and liTR 72-2-28 - Fuller Road Area.
7.SAN 72-1-12 - Nine Title lA Collector.
8.SAN 72-1-13 - Mitchell Heights PUD Area Coll ector.
In answer to fir. Doug Johnson' s question of Mew Town Devel opment,
lir Jul lie stated that if you are not in agreement with the assess-
ment, you should pay pri or to or on November 14 to avoid I nterest
and then appeal the assessment -
Hr. Johnson felt that the properties benefit ting from the Collector
far exceeded the three being a ssessed. Mr. Jul 1 ie explained that
temporary uses may be necessary (by Zachman, for instance) until
future trunk is installed. Po inted out was the fact that Hipps,
Shelter and New Town all petitioned about the same time for utili-
ties for the area
In regard to the fl ood plain included in New Town's parcel , Mr.
Johnson felt that the Village should not acc elerate collection of
assessments. The Village method of assessing in this type of
situation was explained by Mr. Jullie. In the event there were 100
acres in the parcel with 20 acres of flood plain, the total assess-
ment for a particular site is determined by multiplying the 100
acres by the ;1300 per acre rate; dividing by the 80 buildable
acres; and applying that amount to the site per acre.
1973 Special Assessment Hea ring -3- October 3, 1973
8. SAN 72-1-13 (Continued)
Mr. Johnson stated that he lost 10-15 units because of the sewer
placement and wished to be assured that his density would not be
changed. Further, that the flood plain area was used as a trade
off for density.
Mr. Richard Hipps felt other property owners should be assessed
and particularly for the extension of the trunk. If the trunk is
extended, said Mr. Jullie, the area will be reassessed and a por-
tion of the cost will be borne by tose benefitting.
Mr. George Farnsworth of Brauer & Associates stated that the facili-
ty was not extended beyond Hipps' property because the per acre
cost went up appreciably and people would have been landlocked.
9.141S 72-9-17 - Chestnut Drive; Mitchell Road to E/14 Parkway
Mr. Johnson., New Town Development, asked if he might be assessed
again for storm sewer even though it was included in this project .
He felt he should either not be assessed or be given credit if an
area assessment were levied sometime in the future.
Mr. Heinrich reported that there was no Village policy on storm
sewer assessment although the staff is working on such a policy.

Re: Signs at Fairway Wood Development
Dear Mayor and Council:
This letter is being written on behalf of the Fairway
Wood Homeowner% Association which has recently been organized
to care for and attend to needs of the homeowners at the Fairway
Wood condcetinilla project of which we are certain you are fasd3.iar.
The association would like to take this opportamitar to
expresso their interest in maintaining a sign on Highway 5 and
Kitchell Road. The sign would be one which identified the Fairway
Wood condos:into project, directing those who are driving along
High's-ay 5 to the project.
There are several reasons why this sign is important,
not the least of which is that the development is new, there is a
great deal of construction in the area, and Fairway Wood condoel-
niums are difficult to find without such notification.
We feel that it is to everyone la advantage to allow the
sign to be maintained on Highway 5 at Mitchell Road, since it will
reduce congestion and confusion for those looking for the project,
thereby reducing such things as U-turns, turn-arounda and back-
tracking for those who overshot the destination project, and other
such phenomena which add to the danger and congestion on Highway 5.
In addition, this association is motivated to make this
request by the fact that it is interested in the completion and
sale of the project. We wish te get the construction out of the
area. The construction in the area could go on for years unless we
contribute to the fast occupancy in whatever way we can. All of
the people in Eden Prairie should approve this proposal because
without the projected growth of Eden Prairie, the investments made
in anticipation of that growth could become a burden to all.
This group strongly feels that the sign itself is not
detrignotal to the landscape as it is an attractive sign. We, as
a group, are probably more concerned than anyone in retaining the
natural beauty of our home setting, but are certainly not opposed
to the existence of said sign. We feel that it does not detract
in an way from the natural beauty of the area.
Ok

This regnant may also be made by other contractors in the
area, and it in our opinion that their requests should be granted.
The directing signs to any project should be limited in size and
scope to giving directions to the project. They should be allowed
by special concession of the Mayor and Council s and not by elimina-
tion of Eden Prairie ordnance. Permission should only be granted
for the duration or the project.
We sincerely hops that you will react favorably upon
this request. Thank you for your patience and consideration of
this matter.
Very truly yours,
Fairway Wood Condcasinina #1

Eden Prairie, Minnesota 553113
Gentlemen:
The Animal Humane Society of Hennepin County cooperates with city, village, and
county authorities in the enforcemnt of the laws of the State of Minnesota per-
taining to cruelty to animals. In addition it has the responsibility of praoting
education, understanding, and sentiment favorable to animals. Our activities cover
all of Hennepin County and we are certain that you are familiar with the work that
we are doing in your area.
The society to date has been financed through memberships, donations from larger
corporations, and bequests from individuals. We have not in the past nor are we
at present receiving funds frau outside organizations such as the United Rind, or
contributions fran tax supported agencies -
The exploding animal population, now increasing at the rate of about 15% per year,
is creating a problem which is affecting everyone. The Humane Society's budget has
been increasing anrulai iy to meet these needs. However, we have nag reached the
point where our dependency on voluntary contributions has made it difficult for us
to maintain the status quo.
One of the reasons that we find ourselves in this situation is a recently initiated
program under which all animals adopted from the shelter must be surgically steri-
lized. While this alone does not solve the problem of increasing animal population,
it does provide one way the Humane Society attempts to correct the problem in
Hennepin County.
Effective August 1, 1973, Chapter 187 of the State Statutes amending Statute 1971,
section 343.11 allows the County Board of any county cc the council of any city or
village in which the County Humane Society exists to appropriate for the maintenance
and support of such societies, in the transaction for the work which they are orga-
nized, any sums of money not otherwise appropriated, not to exceed $4800 in any one
year. This change in the statute recognizes the increasing problem which Humane
Societies are nad facing.
In order to increase the Society's services for combating the rising animal popula-
tion we estimate that it will be necessary to generate an additional total of
$25,000 from the nunicipalities of Hennepin County. This sun, we feel, cannot be
obtained from cur voluntary sources due to their limited nature.

We feel that by computing each municipality's percentage of Hennepin County's
total population, we would obtain ant equitable percentage for breaking down the
total $25,000 figure. By applying this procedure we have determined your pro-
portion to be $175.00. As you can see, this lies within the limits set forth
by the state legislature and is less than their stated $4800 figure. We would
appreciate very much a contribution of that amount from you so that we may con-
tinue and expand our services to you.
If -there is any additional information that you would like to have please let us
know. We would also appreciate the opportunity of seating with you if you desire
an outline of our program and it's value to you.
Sincerely,

/ suggest that the following items be installed at the water plant sites
1. Sodding
The contract with Gunner, Johnson a Sons calls for seeding only.
There are soles steep slopes at the site which could be subject
to erosion and the seeding might not take well. Also the appearance
of the plant will be greatly enhanced with the sodding. Skyline

yard (480 less 120 deduct for seeding deleted). The net coat
quoted by Perkins Lawn Service was 370 per yard.
Recces:send purchase of 7,500 eq. yards of sodding from Skyline
Pence 6 Landscape Co. @ 370 $2,775.

Approximately 110 lip. ft. or additional concrete curb and gutter are
necessary to help control drainage from the driveway and parking areas.
Estimated Cost (Time + Materials) is $500
3. Metal Lettering
TM words "WATER TREATMENT PLANT" should be added to the north wall
of the plant. The cost is $425 per quotation from Gunnar I.. Johnson
and Sons, Inc.
'The total cost for the above item is $3,700.
