• 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.

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.

November 6, 1973 Planning Commission Meeting
A. 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. Recommend detailed planting plan for fence to be built
between Anderson Lakes and the project, be submitted and
approved.to the staff and Park 6 Recreation Board prior to
issuance of building psrsits. .
5• Recommend a two year time requirement until they obtain a
building permit (from date of council approval) or the
zoning reverts back to Rural according to Ord+n .v a 135.
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. That a compatible exterior building treatment be Incorporated
into the final design so that it blends into the surrounding area.
5. That public park dedication occur to the barrier alignment.
Motion carried 6-0, Blacklock and Anderson abstaining.
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.

10/16/73 Planning Commission Meeting
A. ilcfl lister Properties, Anderson Lakes P.0.D., 124 unit condomin-
ium project, located adjacent to the Eden Prairie boundary,
north of Anderson Lakes and south of !lest 78th Street. 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.

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.

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

this letter, we would most like to discuss these matters with you
as we begin our efforts to prepare and adopt our watershed district's
permanent rules and regulations.

Gentlemen:
For some years we have had a sincere ambition to create a fine planned
industrial district on the property bounded on the east by Washington
Avenue, on the west by roughly Highway 169 and on the south side by
Valley View Road, County Road 39.
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.

The owners do not wish to entertain an Option situation, because that does •
not suit the picture, but prefer to enter into a sale arrangement and, of
course, these add up to a slightly difficult situation.
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.
If, on the other hand, the Village of Eden Prairie wishes a portion of this
l and to be put into apartment or retail use, then we will have no further
interest and will attempt to locate something suitable to our objective.
I trust that this is clear and I trust that it finds a sympathetic hearing.

will be most anxious to hear from you.

SUBJECT: Review of decision of Board of Zoning Appeal decision for
Roth Distributing Co. on Lot 5, Block 1, Edenvale Indus-
trial Park.
DATE: November 9, 1973
The Board of Zoning Appeals met on November 5, 1973 to consider a variance
on Lot 5, 81okc 1, Edenvale Industrial Park. 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.
I feel that this setback could be reduced to 30 feet but should apply to
end of cul—de-sacs only.

These minutes were approved without correction.

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.

Re: Estimated Budget, 1974
The maDclosed 1974 budget reflects the many new restrictive Medicare
regulations with resultant decrease in the Medicare portion of
estimated fee service income.
Hecensse Economic Stabilisation regulations severely restricted home
health agencies in recovering the cost of services.provided under
the Social Security programs (Medicare - Medicaid), the Cost of
Living Council recently authorized a "catch up' period allowing
agencies to morons. traditionally lower than coat charges to an
amount in keeping with 1972 costs. It is important to remember
that charges to individuals are based on ability to pay -- no one
is deeded service because of Sacking the financial means to pay for
such service. A note of interest -- home visits by Suburban Public
Health Nursing Service reflect costs of up to 20%alas than those
of nearby metropolitan agencies.

RE: Streets and Utilities in RLS No. 664
Marren Shultz Property at Co. Rd. 4 c Kurtz Lane •
On ?Say 22, 1973 the Village Council approved the administrative division of
Tract A, RLS 064 Into two lots (parcels 1525 and 1550) each Laving an area
of 0.55 acres and thus conforming to the R1-22 single family residential zoning
There are now four buildable lots: in RLS No. 664.
Since that tine the developer hags constructed municipal sanitary sewer and
watersain lines to each lot and bus partially constructed then street to Village
standards. The diameter of the cul-de-sac must be increased to 82' to conform
with our requirements.
A property owner to the south of RLS No. 664 recently brought suit against the
developer and the Village in an attempt to stop the development in RLS No. 664
for alleged claimsof drainage problems and ordinance violations. 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. Also, the developer's engineer has certified
(letter attached) that the utilities and the existing street have been completed
and tested par Village standards-
In view of the above, I reccmend that the Village Council accept for contisammus
maintenance the streets and utilities in PIS No. 664 and authorise issuance of
building permits for each of the four lots therein.

THROUGH: Robert Heinrich, Village Manager
DATE: November 9, 1973
RE: HIPP'S CEDAR POINT 1ST ADDITION
PROPOSAL: The developer, Hipp's Construction Co.,is requesting Village Council
approval of the final plat of **Hipp's Cedar Point lit Addition.`
This is a multiple-family residential (townhouse) plat (RN 6.5)
with 26 units and located east of Edenvale Blvd. within the Edenvale
3rd Addition. A location drawing is attached.
HISTORY: The preliminary plat of Hipp's Cedar Point let Addition was approved
by the Village Council on August 22, 1972. 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. The
final plat conforms with the density requirement of the RN 6.5 zoning
district.
Construction is essentially complete on 10 of the proposed 26 units
within the development.
VARIANCES: A variance from Village Ordinance No. 93, Sec. 8, Subd. 1 will be
necessary waiving the six month maxima time elapse between the
approval date of the preliminary plat and filing of the final plat.
This variance request is reasonable because the developer is proceeding
with work in an orderly manner and the staff agrees that no changes
in the yet undeveloped areas of the site ere necessary.
UTILITIES AND STREETS:
All utilities and streets within the plat will be constructed according
to Village standards, but will be privately owned and maintained.
PARK DEDICATION:
There will be no public park dedication within this plat. All necessary
public dedication will be completed within the overall Edenuale P.U.D.

Cut-in and Placement of 6" D.I.P. for New Town Development. 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.

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.

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.

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 _
