Deputy Clerk • Staff Planning Report Date: October 31, 1973 Project: Prairie East Preliminary Nat for 12 lots single family subdivision Applicant: Hustad Development Corporation Request: Rezoning from Rural under P.U.D. 73-07 to R1-13.5 for the construction of 12 single family detached homes ranging from 15,500 sq_ft. to 26,000 sq.ft. lots, and preliminary plat approval for the 11 lot subdivision --- From: Richard Putnam, Village Planner Through: Robert P. Heinrich, Village Manager Comments: The 12 lot subdivision is a change from the original P.U.D. which showed a 26 lot townhouse area whore the 12 lot single family is now located. The land is a rolling triangular shape now which fronts out onto proposed greenways for the Prairie East area. The site has no tree vegetation, rather it has been a cultivated field in recent years. The high point is approximately 883'which drops to approx. 860 elevation near the greenway areas. The site plan proposed responds to current market and the existing housing type proposed in the Hustad Development. The original subdivision for 41 lots was approved and is anticipated to begin construction in the 1974 season. The proposed subdivision of 12 lots seems very consistent with the existing single family lots. The width of the greenway which surrounds this site should not be reduced by the approval of the single family proposal rather than the townhouse. It appears that the lots would take up a slightly larger area of land than the townhouses proposed originally. Therefore, any decrease in the size of the greenway must be compensated for in the adjoining projects to be townhouse or lower density dwellings in the future. Also, preliminary platting should begin on the entire Prairie East area, defining open space areas and the parcels to be used for development so that a clear definition of open - space vs. development areas is achieved. This would allow the Village to begin planning trail systems to coordinate with the Prairie East systems, as well as providing Hustad Development Corporation with more definite locations for parcel development and road/utility construction. Conformance of the subdivision plat with all Village engineering standards for lot width, soil type, street construction, and utility construction must be met prior to final plat approval and authorized by the Village Engineering Department. The provision of pedestrian corridor between some lots at the end of cul-de-sac in Area 3 seems necessary to link the land-locked lots 1, 2, 3, and 12 with the open space system. Likewise, the provision of sidewalks or pathways Page 2 along Eastwood Drive and the street running east/west by the subdivision would seem necessary to provide for safe pedestrian movement since most of the lots are not accessible to trailways. Recommend approval of the rezoning to R1-13.5 for the 12 lots proposed with the above recommendations included. Recommend preliminary plat approval for the 12 lot single family plat with the recommendations of the Engineering and Planning Departments included in the final plat prior to approval. DP November 6, 1973 Planning Commission Meeting D, Busted Development Corp. proposal for 12 lot single family sub- - division in the Prairie East area east of Pranlo Road. Hrs. Schee motioned to approve the project based upon the Planner's Report and the Engineer's Report. The ifotion was passed unanimously. r 1 oft VILLAGE OF EDE1 PRAIRIE EI;SIIIEERIi REPORT 'Ti): Plant Zoni g Ccsri fission DATE November 6. 1973 Carl JulIia, 4'i113;e Engineer s;;J._C i: Prairie East (Phase II) • LOCATION East of Franlo Road, approximately 1/2 mile north of • Pioneer Trail - OWNER/DEVELOPER Sustad Development Corp. - • ENGINEER Suburban Ermineerina Comm:many fie ** * * ** * ** * * * * * :t ** * * ** * *** * ***. ** *. * ** * *** PROPOSAL: The developer is requesting preliminaryplat and zoning (R1 13.5) approval for a 12 lot, single family detached development. This plat replaces 26 single family attached unite proposed for thin site under the Prairie East - POD approved by the Village Council on August 28, 1973. GCOMETRICS: (1ot diri?.nsions, easements and right-of-way) 1. The dimensions and areas of all the proposed lots and the lot density conforms with the requirements of the R1-13.5 zoning district and no variance will be necessary. 2. Five foot utility easements must be provided abutting all lot lines, except along street right of way. 3. Right of way will be 50' on the N-S street which will terminate with a double cul-de-sac of 50' radii. The E-W street leading to Franlo Road should be platted as a 60' right of Bray. • 2 of 2 ,11 STREETS MO GRADING: Full depth asphalt design and concrete curb and gutter are _required on all streets with 28' width (back to bacJd) on t-he tS street and 32' for the E—W street. A concrete sidewalk (5' x 6") should be installed on the north and westerly sides of the E-W street between Frenlo Road and the proposed greenway east of this site. PUBLIC UTILITIES: The Developer's Engineer has submitted a preliminary utility plan showing a feasible layout of sanitary sewers, watermains and storm sewers. Some minor modifications will be necessary prior to preparation of final plans and specs. The final route for the sanitary sewer outfall on Franlo Road has not yet been determined. (Options are available to flow either north or south on Franlo Road.) So&e additional studies are necessary for final determination. No building permits within Prairie East will be allowed until the Village Council orders a sewer improvement on Franlo Road or unless the Developer chooses to install the sewer line on Franlo Road north to the Olympic Hills system at his cost. P.ECGME?)DATION: Recommend rezoning to R1-13.5 and approval of the 12 lot preliminary plat of Prairie East (Phase II) subject to the requirements or this report. • Respectful u it ed, Car . u , .P.E.

McAllister Properties, Anderson Lakes P.B.D., proposed for luxury condominiums north of Anderson Laken adjacent to the Bloomington boundary, proposing 124 units built as a terraced apartment structure. Mr. Reed Becker and Mr. Richard Garmakar presented their plans for fencing , retaining walls and overlooks along the entire length of the project buffered with plants. Mrs. !layers voiced concern over the use of the 2.7 acres adjacent to the freeway for residental or commercial. Hr. Caretaker said they would not develop• and include it as opera space for the condominium units, if it sight be used as a density credit (if needed) for the office site. The model units proposed were deleted frog the proposal with the use of a temporary office for sales instead. Developmnt of the 1.9 acre model site will be required to compliment the site in Bloomington adjacent to the hoses on Ensign Road. A motion was made by Ere. Meyers seconded by tire. Schee to: 1. Recommend approval without the 3 model unite proposed, ratter temporary sales asar tt ent office would be used to market units on tine site. 2. Recommend construction of permanent holding pond for plasm. water runoff to serve as project enmity. 3. Recommend separate and detailed erosion and runoff plans submitted to staff and watershed district prior to issuance of builidng permits. 4.

Motion carried unanimously. October 22, 1973 Park & Recreation Commise on Meeting 1. Lake Anderson Condominiums. Reed Becker, representing McAllister Properties, briefly reviewed the project stating that it was their intention to construct a barrier equivalent to chain link fence in effectiveness so that their development would be consistent with the overall park concept for the Anderson Lakes area. One of the other major concerns in this development is the handling of storm water runoff, which they intend to accommodate by construction of a settling pond in their court area. Blacklock questioned whether or not the trench barrier would be effective in keeping out kids and dogs. Becker stated that they also intended to do extensive plantings along there to accomplish the effectiveness objectives. M/Boerger, S/Garens that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend to the Planning Commission and Council approval of the Lake Anderson Condominium project subject to the following considerations: ]. That the barrier to be constructed be as effective as a chain link fence. 2. If the barrier fails to produce the desired result, additional control will become necessary at a later date. 3. Proper steps be taken to control the storm water runoff situation so that the water seeps into the ground rather than running off directly to the lake. 4.

STAFF REPORT DATE: October 15, 1973 PROJECT: Anderson Lakes Condominiums DEVELOPER: McGlynn-Garmaker Company, owner-developer (formerly McAllister Properties) THROUGH: Dick Putnam, Planner; Robert P. Heinrich, Manager TO: Planning Commission FROM: Chris Enger, Landscape Architect Site Location: The site is 12-3/4 acres located at the intersection of County Road 18 and 1-494 on the north shore of Anderson Lake. Site Character: The site has, of course, been in for review previously and has been adequately analyzed by both Midwest Planning and Research in their original proposal, and by Dick Putnam in his Staff Reports on the proposal. Briefly, the site consists of marsh, meadow, and hardwood vegetation. It slopes from a high point of 910+down toward the southwest and toward the southeast at a 25%slope to the natural ordinary high water mark elevation of Anderson Lake of 839. Since the original proposal of two terrace condominium units and a number of town houses, there have been changes in the site plan. The proposal now being submitted deletes the town houses and goes with one condominium building containing 121 luxury units. In addition to this , there are three model units to be constructed to the northeast of the main building. The main condominium building is a terraced structure which utilizes the existing topo- graphy to step up the two slopefaces of the hill. The overall height of the building then would be six stories. However, the height of the building taken at any one point from the ground would not be my higher than three stories. In addition to conforming to the slopes, the building also wraps around the slope in an 'L' shape to completely echo the form of the original topography. I believe that as far as the topography is concerned, this site plan shows a very sensitive approach. The building form appears to be in keeping with the land character. Final landscape planting schemes will of course be of great importance to the overall integration of the site. The majority of the major trees occur on the high ground on the northern end of the site. They should be preserved and this particular plan appears to accomplish this. As to the ecology of the site and how this development affects the marsh and Anderson Lakes: In the first proposal for this project done by Midwest Planning and Research,Inc., it was stated that "Anderson Lake is mostly within glacial drift, and receives water both from groundwater and surface sources. The same is true of the intersecting marsh on the site... The loams and sandy soils on the ridge make it a moderately high aquifer recharge area. Percolation is good to fair at present. This seems to ma to be an important link in the site ecology. The bedrock of Jordan and St. Peter sandstones ?age 2 underlying much of the area are major aquifers. Clearly, these are significant resources since virtually all of the area gets its water from these strata. There is already present a dangerously high level of nitrates (1NO3) in much of the water from the underlying aquifers. Protection of these sources and their recharge areas is vital to the human health of the system." If we are to accept the fact that the ridge area of this hill side, and indeed the top of the hill, are aquifer recharge areas, it is apparent that the present site proposal completely builds over this recharge area. The question is, will the change in balance between the surface water that runs directly into Anderson Lake and the ground water that enters the aquifer through percolation of the soil, affect the ecology of the area significantly? Since there is not a great deal of parking area which would collect oils, salts, gravel, etc., the runoff from the building and the plaza area should be fairly clear. So, although there would be an upset in the balance of ground water and surface water, John Dickson of the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District and Hydrologist for Barr Engineering, has assured me that since essentially much of the area in Eden Prairie acts as an aquifer recharge area, building over this particular area would be analogous to cutting down one tree in a forest. However, it is my feeling that if at all possible, when building with a site, it is the Villages s responsibility to encourage a site plan that takes into consideration all facets of the ecology of the site and changes its systems the least. It should also be pointed out that if one builder is allowed to build over an aquifer recharge area, there is really no criteria for any future developer not to do the same thing. When all development along Anderson Lakes, and elsewhere in Eden Prairie, is allowed to occur in this way, the ecology of the area would be significantly affected. Therefore, I think it is valid in this case to require that the developer keep the balance of ground water and surface water approximately the same as it is now. For this site plan, there is some amount of flexibility as to how this could be accomplished. The proportion of water that will be runoff from the plaza area may be collected in a holding pond which could be located so as to be a visual amenity to the site plan. It would, of course, be imperative that the amount of runoff be calculated so that it would be in the same balance proportionately as the site in its natural state Protection of Anderson Lake's wildlife habitats has been pointed out through studies made by Les Blacklock, in conjunction with the Village, and Dave Weaver, Hennepin County Park Preserve, to be of prime importance in the guidelines for development of the area. Concept plans for the wildlife preserve section of the park show definitely no trail completely around the lake shore and point up the absolute necessity for a strong definition between man and nature. There is to be no physical interaction between people living and working along the shores and wildlife. To make sure that this Is enforced, the Village is requiring some type of impassible physical barrier between development and nature. A cyclone fence in some cases might not be the most esthetically pleasing barrier from the developer's point of view. It is then his obligation, I believe, to do detailed Page 3 studies of various other barriers that would provide the same protection as an eight foot high cyclone fence. In this case, the developer is proposing a combination trench barrier alternating with what he refers to as a prickly bush barrier. If McGlynn-Garmaker likes the idea of a trench barrier, this is an important enough detail in this case that we should have a good idea of how deep they propose it, how steep the side walls, if a retaining wall is proposed, and the total location of it. This trench could actually be -' engineered to function as a moat, and would provide an extra margin of protection both to encroachment on the wildlife habitats and by acting as a final holding and settling pond for surface runoff prior to seeping into the lake. Whatever is proposed, the protection of the lake and feathery edge marsh must be kept at a maximum, and I believe that the protection as it is to be accomplished is a commitment that should be made prior to approval. The orientation of the building is southwest and southeast. Neither one of these orientations faces directly across the lake to the private yards of single family homes, or across the marsh toward the Bloomington subdivision. I believe this orientation adequately solved the problem which was of so much concern to the present Anderson Lakes property owners. The three model units proposed on the northeast corner of the site would be more repre- sentative of the rest of the project if they were also terraced units. There appears to be ample opportunity with the topography to accomplish the terracing. If these units are to be permanent, !would very strongly suggest terracing them. Although some type of split shake shingle or brick veneer has been suggested to cut down on the harsh appearance of the concrete, I believe that the building should not be hidden with a fake facade. I feel that the building material, in this case concrete, should be treated honestly. If it is felt that concrete is too harsh, a different treatment may be offered: exposed aggregate, texturing, and a combination of earth tone coloring in the contrete may be possible alternatives. The traffic problem has been addressed by Mr. Putnam, who felt that construction of road systems proposed in the future for the MCA would help alleviate the problem. To sum up the various points of this proposal: the site plan respects the character of the site very well, but the problem of aquifer recharge needs to be resolved. The orien- tation of the building is good. The protection of the lake edge needs to be more firmly detailed. The model units should be terraced. The building texture and color should be compatible with the surroundings. I feel that with a few modifications this could be a site plan which would provide ultimate respect for the site, visually and ecologically, but the details should be firmly committed prior to approval.

Request rezoning from Rural under P.U.D. 73-3 to RN 2.5 in conformance with the i•I.C.A. P.U.D. • A sl ide presentation of the area was made by lir. Putnam. For the benefit of the members of the audience, ilr. florss explained the project as presented to the Commission at their previous meetings. A map illustrating the relationship between the con- domi nium project and adjacent buildings was shown, Fir. Morss 4- indi cated that a six story office building is being studied by iir. Garmaker, the developer. !then discussion was opened to questions from the Commi scion, Mrs. Meyers asked if the three townhouses to be used as models would become a permanent part of the development. i•ir. Morss repl led that a sizable investment in the models is made so that it is desi rable by the developer to use the models as townhouses. Mr. Morss stated that little or no damage would occur to the trees by the road's placement, when Mrs. Meyers expressed con- cern about the long diagonal driveway into the development. Commission members felt that the 2-3/4 acres between the project road and West 78th Street should be designated as open space. The eight recommendations made in the preliminary staff report of October 1, 1973, were reviewed by i•Ir. Putnam. Mr. Richard Sampson, President of the Anderson Lakes Property Owners' Association, conveyed the following to the Commission: The Anderson Lake project.... .. 1. would destroy the single family residential character of the area; 2. will have disastrous effects on the ecology because of •its high densi ty. Water fowl nesting area will be disturbed by onlookers; and 3. cannot be serviced by the present road system. It was their recommendation to build the road first and that access on Ensign Road not be permitted. Mr. Sampson furt her stated that the twenty-four family member- shi p of the association was i n opposition to the rezoning for the Anderson Lakes condominium project. In answer to a question from t•ir. Frank Hartmann, 8216 Ensign Road, Mr. 6lorss said that the elevation of the hill was 910 with the top of the building having an elevati on of 912. The precast concrete structure would have an exterior of brick and wood to blend with the environment. Hr. Eugene Quest , 8008 Ensign Road, compl imented the Commission on their concern over the models which would be behind his home. lie recommended elimination of the models at that site and their placement in the structure itself. Mrs. Carr and Mr. Lyman Olson, both of Ensign Road, voiced opposition to the project. No action was taken by the Commission. The project will be be- fore the Park and Recreation Commission at its next meeting. 10/2/73 Planning Commission meeting III C. McAllister Properties, Anderson Lakes PUD, 124 condominium units located on the north shore of Anderson Lakes. Request rezoning to RN 2.5 from Rural under P.U.D. 73-3. A public hearing is scheduled for this proposal at the next Commission meeting. Mr. Garmaker, the developer, and Messrs Reed Becker and Jim iiorss brought the Commission up to date on the project. One 121 unit condominium structure is located at 494 and 18. The step back terrace building is situated such that the majority of the units face the lack with the remainder facing the developed court yard area. Unit prices will range between $50,000 and $100,000. Underground parking as well as nineteen surface parking spaces is provided. Three elevator cores serve the building. Recreational facilities--tennis court, party room and swimming pool are included in the proposal . No action required. • • 2/13/73 Council Meeting H. McAllister Properties. Anderson Lakes Planned Unit Development. Resolution No. 658. Dick Putnam, VI llage Planner, presented and reviewed the McAl l ister 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 amount of traffic using West 78th Street from #18 to old 1169 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 timetabie for road improvements is coordinated with the Hornet Center to open in August, 1975 and the 212 diagonal which should be open in mid-1973 which should rel ieve a great deal of the through traffic. There being no further discussion, Pr. Meyers made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 658 approving the Anderson Lakes Planned Unit Deveiopment as recommended by the Planning Omission on February 6, 1973. Mr. Penzel seconded. Messrs. Berger, Penzel and Redpath and its. Moyers voted aye. ilr. icCulioch voted no. Motion carried. � :111-411-111-111-111141-1II4-ttEE-{ I E 6irt>ROU 1. 113 ri i 0 r I.

Attention: Village Manager /fir Gentlemen: At the last regular meeting of the Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District, the Managers discussed the continuing problem of inspecting development projects throughout the watershed dis- trict to insure compliance with permits issued either directly by the watershed district or by the Village which has incorporated in its permits the view and comments of the watershed district. We believe that this problem is common not only to our district but to your municipality as well and that we have a com- mon goal to see that permits permitting development are strictly followed by private developers. The managers have adopted a philosophy which seeks to re- quire a developer to obtain only a single permit authorizing a development project , which permit tuwould ldpereferrably beaissuedrbsued y the affected municipality. We wthe single permit is issued, the municipality would obtain any pertinent comments from the watershed district and incorporate these comments into its permit. ibond this shouldmanner, thenthe be required to guarani that co a single performance guarantee compliance with all the provisions and conditions of the permit. However, there will undoubtedly be situations where permits will be needed from both the municipality and the watershed district. In these situations , as well as in those where only one permit and one performance bond would be required, the managers wish to discuss with appropriate Village officials how best to coordinate our re- spective governmental functions to assure orderly and complete 1/ • Honorable Paul Redpath Page 2 and Village Council October 16, 1973 compliance with any and all development permits.

The entire piece was about 200 acres and now for a number of reasons we have had to reduce our interest to tila Swendseen property which consists of 60 acres at the northwest corner of Washington Avenue and • Valley View Road. I have had a number of conversations with various Village officials and sincerely regret having taken the amount of your time that I have taken without having a definite position in the matter. The reason behind this tentative approach is that I am caught in a "chicken-egg" position. The price that we will be Paying for this 60 acres, if we purchase it, is nearly $1,000,000 and we have estimated our development cost at another one-third of $1,000,000. This is simply too much money to spend and then later settle the fate of the property. Also, we are not in position to prepare plans in a detailed manner on speculation, as I trust you will understand. INDIVIDUAL MICNISEROINIITS,SOOIETY Or INDUSTRIAL IEALTDRS • Mr. Paul R.

I have learned from your Planning Director, Mr. Putnam, and from Mayor Redpath, that you have retained the services of a planning consultant and that shortly you will know how you would like the Swendseen property to be developed as well as other properties in that neighborhood. If the Village of Eden Prairie is interested in a first class planned industrial district patterned after the latest developments in this field, then if we have assurances that will be a go situation, we hope to be able to move into position to buy this property and develop it.

The variance was for a 30 foot front setback and some parking spaces in front yard setback for the handicapped. (See Board of Appeals minutes for Novewber 5, 1973). I recommend that the Council consider a change in the front yard setback requirement when such situations arise and the entire lot is not buildable.

Front yard setback and parking in front yard setback. lot 5, Block 1, EdenVale Industrial Park. Mr. Don Peterson of Eden Land Corporation explained the three problems on this lot approximately 5 acres. 1. The building to be buil t on this particular lot was meant to be served by a rai i road spur. 2. Northern States Power has a high line which will not allow a building closer than 75 feet. 3. A large area on the northern part of this lot has bad soil which does not allow a building to be placed on it. Doug Lund of the Lund-Martin Co. showed a sketch of the proposed building and explained why the request was made to place a small part of the building within the 50 foot front setback. Mr. Lund said that if the building were pl aced further to the north, on the bad soil, the cost of building would make it impossible to build. He also explained that the railroad is limited as to the change in grade and the arc in which can turn. Mr. Lund said that after exhausting every other possibility of building place- ment they arrived at the one that was proposed. This placement put the three front corners of the building at 30 feet, 45 feet and 60 feet. The required front setback in this I2 Park is 50 feet. The parking in the front yard setback was mentioned but was not the major issue. It was mentioned that this was necessary for handicapped parking according to State Building Code. Tony Hirt moved that the appeal be denied with respect to Section 17 or Zoning Ordinance /135. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M. .

On October- 12, 1973 the Court heard the case and very recently, per Village Attorney Harlan Perbix, the lawsuit was dismissed. Therefore, the development say proceed mem authorised by the Village Council. Per the attached letter dated November 2, 1973 the developer. Mr. Shultz, hams agreed to and guaranteed the completion of several items recommended by the staff as outlined in said letter.

The final plat now sub- mitted for approval conforms with the approved preliminary plat. Zoning to RN 6.5 was finally read and adopted on August 22, 1972.

This item was done upon request of the Village. Our inspector kept track of the time, labor and equipment. Northern turned in a bill for this item 8-16-73 and we found a disagreement with their hours and equipment. In the meeting of 10.8-73 an agreement was reached as shown on attached sheet. Change Order Item 02 Hydrants Relocation -Mitchell Road. Two hydrants along Mitchell Road were relocated by Northern Contracting. During the construction of curb and gutter they were found to be only 2.5' behind the curb. In order to stay 5' behind the curb for snow plow clearance we instructed Northern to relocate the 2 hydrants again. Northern turned in a bill for this item in the amount of$587.70. We met with Northern Contracting 10/8/73 and discussed this matter. Since we were unable to find the cause of the hydrants being located in the wrong place. it was decided to pay Northern 1/2 of their claim which amounts to 5293.85. • Change Order Item 03 Adjust air release manhole on Mitchell Road. During the construction of concrete curb and gutter, the air release manhole casting was found to be in the face of curb. Instead of bending the curb line around the casting or depressing the top of curb, we instructed Northern to turn the Mexican hat, thus locating the casting in the gutter line. Payment for this item was made on a time, labor and equipment method as shown on attached sheet. Change Order Item 04 After the curb and gutter were placed on Mitchell Road and Atherton Road, a low spot was created in the southeast corner of the intersection. As per Gene Schurman's request, a P.V.C. pipe was installed to drain this area. Payment for this item was made on a time, labor and equipment method as shown on attached sheet.

The existing bridge vas'case- strutted in 1895 and has become inadequate for present day travel re- gsiresasts. The Seamte and House Transportation Cemattt es have • -2- previously approved the bill and it presently is before the Governmental Operat- ions Committee. The proposal has received the support of the e P P pp Linn sots highway Department and now avaits approval from the full legislature. It is anticipated that, if the bill passes, the proposal will still involve several '— years of planning and engineering before construction could begin. Technical difficulties include planning, engineering, environmental impact and a liklihood of twenty-five million dollars in revenue bond financing. The Hennepin-Scott Toll Authority, by virtue of S.F. 2243, would have the responsibility to proceed through joint powers and other legal channels to provide for the construction and operation of the bridge crossing. r.• . POSITION PAPER For the November 14, 1973, meeting of the House Government Operations Committee as they consider the proposed 18/169 Toll Bridge Authority Legislation. The Council of the Village of Eden Prairie has passed a resolution opposing the proposed 18/169 Toll Bridge Authority Legislation. The reasons for this opposition are essentially three: 1. A concern for the environmental/ecological impact that the bridge construction would cause on the Minnesota River Valley as well as the environmental/ecological impact that the supporting roadway systems needed to accommodate traffic to and from the bridge would cause on the Anderson Lakes Park area. 2. A concern for the economic impact the construction of this bridge • might have on Eden Prairie as vast amounts of new land south of the Minnesota River will open for development in the near future. 3. A favoring of the Minnesota Highway Department's current priority schedule for Highway 41, 212, and 169, with which this proposed • legislation is inconsistent. A further explanation of the reasons behind this negative position fol lows: ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS: Our first reason for opposing the proposed "Toll Bridge" Legislation is caused by environmental concerns. We have not seen the Environmental Impact Statement prepared for this section of road construction nor for the proposed crossing of the river. We presume that this is because the Environmental Impact Statement has not been completed. We would suggest that any action on the Toll Bridge Authority is premature at this time �; Page Two • • as the Environmental Impact Statement should be used in the decision-making process, not as a justification for a prior action. The way the proposed legislation is constructed, once it is passed, the ulti- mate construction of the bridge is dictated by the need to produce revenues — to pay back the bonds that will be issued to cover the cost of construction, the cost of planning, and the cost of other actions taken as a result of the passage. Several concerns of an environmental nature come to mind in considering this legislation. Primary among them are the physical environmental effects that the construction of this bridge might cause in crossing the Minnesota River. The Federal Department of Interior is studying the acquisition of a substantial portion of the Minnesota River Valley for a national wildlife and recreation area. The Hennepin County Park Reserve District already owns a large parcel of property right where the bridge wil 1 cross the river. The City of Bloomington has acquired land in this area, and the Village of Eden Prairie intends to support and participate in any open space acquisition in the river valley.. Also of great concern is the fact that the construction of the bridge will necessitate the upgrading of Co. Rd. 18 south of its intersection with 494 to the river. The road in this location must go through the Anderson Lakes/Tierney's Woods Regional Park facility. We feel that this construction will have a very negative effect on the park because of the increase in noise and the separation of one area from the other. We would also suggest that the Environmental Imnpact Statement on this pro- ject very carefully examine alternatives for this alignment and bridge. Among these alternatives would be not only different locations but perhaps Page Three • consideration ought to be given to never crossing the river with another major freeway bridge west of 35W. In light of the fuel shortage and energy crisis and in light of limitations on automobiles in the downtown area of Minneapolis and St. Paul and other environmental concerns, this alternative might provide the thrust to create a transit system to serve the Metropolitan Area. FINANCIAL CONCERNS: Our second reason for opposing the proposed "Tol 1 Bridge" Legislation is a concern for the financial impact caused by "urban sprawl". It is the Village's feeling that this proposed legislation would have a dramatic effect on the overall "orderly growth" of the Metropol i tan Region. The Metropolitan Council's Development Guide for Urban Development in the Twin City area stresses the need for the provision of urban services, such as sewers, water, roads, etc. , in a logical and orderly fashion to the areas where there is a commitment to development as well as existing development. In a nut- shell, that is what the Village of Eden Prairie has attempted to do in the II last five or so years. The Southwest Sanitary Sewer District and the 1 Metropolitan Sewer Board have provided disposal facilities and interceptor services for this entire area. In turn, the Village has invested a great dollar amount in the provision of trunks and laterals to serve existing developments in the community and to "gear up" for coming development. Likewise, Eden Prairie has spent a substantial dollar amount in the provision of municipal water supply facilities and treatment plant. In total, the Village debt approaches $19 million for this uti 1 ity construction. In addition, a Metropolitan Sewer Board assessment of$1,20O,000 for inter— ceptor service has been deferred for payment pending the projected growth which necessitated this construction. The "return"will come through the Page Four f the development of lands in the Village. Just this past year, the Village of Eden Prairie completed a Major Center Area Plan which will guide the development of the future downtown of the Village. This is an area bisected by Interstate 494 and the future devel- opment of 212. The area plan i s consistent with the Metropolitan Council's Regional Diversified Center Concept Plan. The development of this area necessitates the construction of a major road to serve the area. This road is referred to as the "Ring Route"and the Village has ordered the prepar- ation of plans for the construction of this road,estimated to cost some- thing in excess of$10 million. This cost will be assessed against the benefitted property owners, who in turn will recover their cost in the development of their property. The Village is also participating in the provision of, or providing them- selves, several other facilities of a "Regional" nature. These include the Anderson Lakes and Bryant Lake Parks, the Flying Cloud Landfill,the Subprban Hennepin County Vocational-Technical School South Campus, the Flying Cloud Airport, etc. The cost of providing all of these facilities is substantial- The justification for and the methods of payment of the costs of these facilities are all predicated on the development patterns that the Village anticipates. We are concerned that the opening of lands south of the river for development in the near future would adversely affect our ability to pay for these investments. HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT PRIORITY SCHEDULE: Our third reason for opposing the proposed Toll Bridge Authority Legislation Page Five is its inconsistency with the Highway Department's priority schedule. The current Minnesota Highway Department priorities recognize the development investment made by the sewer boards, private development, and municipal corporations. In the logical planned growth of the Southwest Sector of the Metropolitan Area,our concern is for the orderly development within the communities that are attempting to produce new and creative solutions to urban development. The innovative concepts in Eden Prairie 1 and use planning, as well as Jonathan's commitment to New Town Development philosophies backed with Housing and Urban Development funding, are examples of well planned urban development approaches currently in progress. We believe that the Highway Department priorities for 212. 41, and lastly 169 recognize the commitment to development in these areas. The extension of major regional arterial roadways fulfill three major purposes: 1. to provide safe and efficient interstate routes. 2. to serve communities and people. 3. extension of new development. • The Minnesota Highway Department's priorities for 41 and 212 also serve to a lesser degree the established communities in western Minnesota and Ii other states as well as the southwestern Lake Minnetonka area.. We believe that the priority of 212 and 41 over that of the Toll Bridge on 169 fulfill these three purposes and should be implemented as originally proposed. SUMMARY: In summary, it is the Village's position that the passage of this legislation to construct 18/169 bridge over the Minnesota River would have an adverse effect on the orderly growth and development of the Metropolitan Area. It would cause a leapfrogging effect that would require the expansion of utilit,lr services as well as other public services, such as schools, parks,etc. south Page Six of the river rather than maximizing the use of those services and systems already provided north of the river. In effect, we feel i t would cause the expenditure of a great deal more public funds for these service systems. The area south of the river is not presently served by an interceptor sewer system. The Prior Lake Interceptor has been programmed by the Metropol i tan Sewer Board since 1971. To date, nothing has been done on this project. It is anticipated possible for construction in 1974 or 1975. The delay of a federal grant for this project has caused the delay in construction. Thorough study ought to be given to not constructing that interceptor for an extended period of time to encourage the orderly growth of the area, particularly that north of the river where those services are already in and being bil led to the benefitted properties. Me recognize the immediate problems of the pollution of Prior Lake; however, some interim solution should probably be reached which would have a "recoverable value" in the ultimate long—range solution for the development of that area. The matter of timing in the construction of any transportation systems across the river is critical. It should not adversely affect the financial planning of those communities north of the river who are ready for growth at thi s time. The utility system plan and the fiscal policies of the Village are based upon the premise that the opening of land south of the river woul d be delayed for 10-20 years, which is consi stent with the State Highway Department's plans for this area. Any drastic difference from this plan • would no doubt have an adverse effect on the ability of the community to pay for the facilities in which it has invested. • Page Seven We would suggest that the State Highway Department continue to analyze their total transportation system in the Southwest Sector in light of thei r previously adopted priority schedule for Highways 41, 212, and 169. Modifications from this schedule may occur as the analysis of the system plan is conti nued. We are certain that those modifications will occur based on good fact and will consider input from affected municipalities such as Eden Prairie. We fear that the creation of the special toll bridge authority will necessitate the "going ahead" with the crossing of the river in this location prior to the completion of the Environmental Impact State— ments and thorough study of the total ramifications of the project, including the orderly growth of the Metropolitan Area, the duplicati on of public investment in services to serve two areas, etc. In light of this, the Vit lage Council of Eden Prairie continues to oppose the proposed 18/169 Toll Bridge Authority Legislation.

THRU: Robert P. Heinrich, Village Managerp RE: CABIN IMPROVEMENTS AT STARING LAKE PARK Background Information: The Village recently completed condemnation proceedings for the acquisition of the Blesi property on the north and east shores of Staring Lake. Included in the property was a log cabin which has since been rented to Brian Wilhelm, Community Education Coordinator. The Problem: The present problem is that it is not winterized. It has a vaulted ceiling with minimal insulation in the walls and no insulation at all in the ceiling. As a result, the cost of heating the cabin is going to be rather prohibitive. The cost for the month of October alone was $105 for natural gas to heat the cabin. In the long term development of this park area, this cabin is viewed as a service center for use as a day camp facility and also for other less structured uses, one of which I would visualize to be perhaps a service center for renting out cross country skis for winter use. The conceptual land use of Staring Lake is one of "the park beautiful" in which it will be devoted almost entirely to use by the people. The only possible exception to this management philosophy might be on the east shore, particularly along Purgatory Creek where there are some rather significant environmental features that could be used somewhat for nature study and in which limited public use might occur. The projected cost for heating the cabin from the months of October through May is approximately$1,100. The Village Building Inspector estimates that a minimum of a 309g cost savings could be realized if we were to place an, additional roof on the structure. This would be done by laying down a Styrofoam insulation pad of 2" and then re-roofing the building with asphalt shingles. The cost of all of this work is estimated to be approximately$2,500. It is in the Village's best interest to have someone living in the cabin, as it helps greatly in deterring vandalism. Without someone living there, the building will no doubt be defaced or damaged in some way because of its very isolated location at Staring Lake. The Village is presently earning income of$1 ,680 per year with the $140/month rent that is being collected. I would antic ipate that the development of this park is at least 4 or 5 years off, so the total gross income for the Village as the result of renting it will equal some- thing in the neighborhood of $6,500 or more prior to the building being used for the recreational use that it was originally intended for. All rents received are placed in the Park Bond Fund to be used at some later date for land development or acquisition in another area. The new roof suggested here will have a "retrievable value" in that it will help in the management of this facility as it is devoted to public use in the future recreational facility development of the park area IC kg _ Y DISTRIBUTING COMPANX ,1111111106.- INC.
