MEMO
DATE: November 19, 1973
TO: Planning Commission and Council Members
FROM: Richard Putnam, Planner
SUBJECT: MEETING WITH NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS REGARDING MASTERS
CONDOMINIUM PROJECT IN EDENVALE
Location: Eclenvate Golf Course, adjacent to the first fairway,
meeting held in Edenvale Clubhouse.
Time: 10:30 a.m.
Date: Saturday, November 17, 1973
Village Officials present:
Councilmen McCulloch, Boerger, Penzel (Newly-elected Osterholt and Pauly).
Comment:
The meeting was held to gain the input of the residents surrounding the Masters
Condominium project to determine lithe two schemes presented would be acceptable
to the surrounding neighborhoods. There were approximately 75-100 notices sent
out. Approximately 20-25 people were present. Don Peterson of Eden Land
Corporation presented a general overview of the project, explaining the site location
and previous approvals granted by the Village . Forrest Russell, landscape architect
discussed the detailed site planning aspects of both alternates, the three story and
six story building.
A first hand inspection of the site followed Mr. Russell's presentation with on-site
explanation of the impact of each of the schemes. The Village Planner, Dick Putnam,
outlined the actions taken by the Planning Commission and the Council up to this
point and some of the impacts discussed iri.the Staff Report of August 15, 1973,
related to the six story project.
Therewere many questions pertaining to the Masters project and Edenvale in general,
which were asked. Mr. Osterholt
asked to have copies of the staff reports and proposals to evaluate. Jerry Kingrey,
resident of Kings Forest, indicated his concern with the life safety and questioned
the adequacy of fire protection within the building. Putnam pointed out that the
structure would be fully sprinklered and concrete non-flammable con-
struction with should be extremely safe. Mr. Kingrey also stated that his initial concern
expressed in his letter was to insure proper consideration of the total impacts
of the Six story buildings, and by his inspection of the site and understanding of
the buildings proposed, he would be in favor of the six story fireproofed condo-
minium buildings as a proper way to treat the site.
Mr. Johnson, the nearest resident to the project in Kings Forest, expressed his
approval of the project in that it would be I to mile away, over three golf course
fairways. Also his house sits very high will the roof of theMasters buildings
five feet below his floor level. He also pointed out the feeling that higher
buildings in selected areas within the community would make sense and believes
that taller structures punctuate the landscape rather than destroy. He pointed
to the one story warehouses in Pentagon Park along 494 in comparison to the

Radisson South in terms of quality of building and esthetic appeal. He did
not believe high rise or mid rise units should be placed next to or within
existing single family residential areas.
A new resident of Fairway Woods .condomlniums,who has lived in Eden Prairie
for l 0 years, indicated he thought the Masters would be a desirable addition to the
housing stock within Eden Prairie. He said the six story structures would
have a different jnarket appeal than the existing Fairway VVoods condominiums
which would not glut the market! He pointed to the tax values associated with
this structure with its value of over $3 million and cited the addition of municipal
sewer and water to Eden Prairie (which he fought).
With the bills associated with the sewer and water, he believes these types of
structures will greatly aid in paying the costs for municipal improvements without
overburdening the existing taxpayers.
Residents of Hil'crest Courts, Franklin Circle, and Prairie View expressed approval
of the six story project in that they did not feel it directly affects their areas and
that the six story buildings paid the most sensitive concern to the site by pre-
serving the major land forms and trees.
In participating and listening to the comments of the residents. I do not believe
there was any negative reaction to the Si3C story structure s proposed on this site.
This does not mean that mid rise butlings proposed within residential areas are
appropriate, but rather this project,on this site,designed in the fashion presented
was considered a reasonable and valuable addition to Men Prairie's housing stock.

'The Red Rock Village Study., initiated in November, 1971, because of imminent
development pressures, contains significant refinements to the 1968 Eden
Prairie Guide Plan."
In this plan, the area directly south of the existing single family, bounded
by Scenic Heights Drive on the north and Hiawatha on the east, is schematically
designated 2 units/acre and 2-4 units/acre , respectively. This is the site
location for Village Woods "Neighborhood One". The site is open rolling
meadow bounded by the tip of a lake and oak, elm, willow vegetation on the west,
single family homes on the north, Mitchell Road and a flat poorly drained
drainsgeway on the east, and the proposed Scenic Heights connector on the south.
Phase One of Neighborhood One proposes approximately 28 lots fed off Hiawatha
Avenue and ending in a temporary cul—de-sac. The remainder of Neighborhood
One is to be built later. Approval for zero lot line zoning will be based on the
entire Neighborhood One site plan, with final platting to be accomplished in
phases. My evaluation is based upon the entire Neighborhood One.
The zero lot line concept is primarily designed to give usable side yard space
to single family home owners by giving them one large side yard instead of two
small ones. It is not necessarily to increase the density per acre of an area,
but can be used as an effective tool if this is the desired goal.
Although this area Is designated as suitable for a higher density development,
it is important to remember that a smooth transition between existing residential
and proposed development is critical to a good overall image. This may be
accomplished in the proposal by allowing much larger, and at the same time,
fewer lots in the development directly adjoining the existing single family.
In looking at the site plan, this would certainly mean the elimination of at
least one of the long narrow lots in t he north central portion of the plan. This
would provide a more smooth transition between the existing single family
lots and the smaller, higher density lots proposed. It hardly seems good
planning to back two or three back yards up to one side yard of an existing
home. The overall image should flow from low to higher density instead of
abrupt ly changing at a property line. The northern lots in Neighborhood One
should be used as the transition and at the same time, the buffer between
the two areas.
Page 2
The minimum lot size is 7,000 s g.ft. and an average lot is 8,500 sq. ft. , on
an overall acreage of 28.05 with 4.2 acres as dedicated open space, to give
an average density of 2.57 lots per acre. In this proposal, the total number of
lots has jumped from 58 to 70 with a net loss of dedicated open space of 1.1 acres.
At the same time the amount of usable open space for the development has
increased. More pathways have been added to create a better circulation system
between the quasi-public and public open spaces. This proposal provides
basically three different types of recreational opportunities linked by accessways
through the development. There has been an enlargement of homeowner's
association arm around the east side and southeast tip of the lake. This
serves two purposes: to provide more usable space along the lake for a
walking, hiking, or sitting type of recreational experience, and to protect the
trees along the slopes of the lake that are a real amenity to the site. This area
would be maintained by a homeowner's association and could be either left natural
or developed with trails and picnic tables, but it would be consistent rather than
some lot owners mowing all the way down the slope and others not at all, which
would present a very hodge-podge type of appearance.
The second open space area that has been enlarged is the area in the very heart
of the project. The enlargement of this area provides an area that is usable as
a buffer between the back yards of the houses. It also could serve as a totlot ,
neighborhood type play space that doesn't require the same amount of space as
game fields. This would be maintained by the homeowner's association.
The third type of recreational space is located on the east side of the project and
is the large, flat • poorly draining, grassy drainageway described in the brochure.
This area would be dedicated to the Village, and is of a size that would permit neigh-
boshcod gene fields. This area directly abuts fourteen back yards - A provision
should be made for a very heavy buffer of vegetation, or the lots should be
pulled back a considerable distance.
The three open areas are to be connected by pathways between lots. There are
some choices on how to handle these pathways and at the same time help to
break up the overall monotony of small lots and only six different housing types.
Rather than making the paths ten foot wide strips that people may fence up
against, a much wider area would allow for some buffer strips between side
yards and the pathways.
The six housing types are supposed to allow the flexibility of building with a
certain site. This hardly seems to be a primary factor since all six types
require a relatively flat site. They do have the advantage, however, if used in
the proper location, of creating different spaces between the houses which would
help to break up the monotony. The quality of the final result does depend
entirely upon the placement of the different types of houses on their sites. If
each site location is done carefully, choosing the type of house and orientation
on the site that relates best to the house around it, the end product could be good.
However, potential buyers may have a tendency to choose a housing type, but
request a site that it does not go best on, and the result may very well be
boring. The overall concept of zero lot line zoning, I believe, is to give some
Page 3
flexibility to individual and overall site planning. If this flexibility is abused,
the concept fails to achieve its goal. Therefore, I would be interested in
having the developer site the building types exactly as they will occur prior to
approving the final plat. This way the Village would have some degree of
control over the quality of the final product. This would be following through on
the zero lot line concept to insure a result that is the object of the concept.
The minimum setback of 20 should not be allowed on the two housing types
"Apache" and"Klowa" . These floor plans have the garage pushed out to the
front of the house. In fact, if the minimum setback were applied to any of the
floor plans, it would mean that a car parked in the driveway would practically
be bumpered against the garage and the street. A standard parking place is
9' x 18' to give an indication. The original proposal showed a minimum setback
of 30', I believe this should be adhered to.
To summarize:
1. Site is rolling meadow with trees and lake as an amenity that should be
preserved on the west side.
2. It is important to establish the lots in the north end of the proposal so that
they function as a harmonious transition between the differing densities
of existing single family and proposed. This is consistent with the Red Rock Study.
3. A very good visual and auditory barrier should be established between the
dedicated park and home owner's back yards.
4. Pathways between the open spaces should be enlarged to allow for flexibility
of design, breaking the monotony of house after house, and to provide
adequate area for buffer between trail and house.
5. Reworking of some of the lots along the proposed Scenic Heights connector
may be necessary to clear up double frontage. This problem may be
solved with a buffer strip of adequate width, possibly bermed, and planted,
fenced, etc.
6. The Village should see final building types and their exact position in
relation to one another to determine if the concept of zero lot line can
produce a high quality product.
7. Minimum front setback should be 30'.
8. Phase One approval is contingent upon a previous verbal agreement with
the staff that a temporary road would be constructed to Mitchell Road to handle
all heavy machinery traffic . No construction equipment should be allowed to
come down past existing single family on Hiawatha Avenue.
9. Also, prior to starting construction of Phase Two, the Scenic Heights connector
must be implemented to handle construction traffic and eventually feed the
development.
1 0. The pathway system should be usable by the public through some type of
easement.
1 1. Construction of the pathway areas should be considered in the overall
grading and detail site plans so that something could be made of them
right now. If the burden of developing the pathways falls upon the home-
owner's association, it may never happen. These pathways to be built
and paid for by the developer. Costs could then be absorbed or passed
on to the homeowner's association.

le/22/73 Park & Recreation Commission Meeting
5. Village Woods - Red Rock Sector. Jessen reviewed the site plan
presented by the developer, indicating that there were only minor
modifications from the concept plan presented to the Commission
previously. These modifications had to do with the reduction in
the number of lots and the expansion of the open space corridor
along the lake, as well as the transition from the existing develop-
ment to the north of this site. The proposal calls for the dedication
of the area lying to the east of the building and north of the future
road construction. In light of its consistency with the previously
approved concept plan, lessen recommended that the plan be approved.
M/Garens, S/Fields that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend
to the Planning Commission and the Council that the Village Woods
plat be approved as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

iar with the project.
10/2/73 Planning Commission meeting
A. The Village Hoods, clustered single family project in Red Rock
by Zachman Homes, Inc. 28 acre clustered and conventional
single family home development of 58 lots. The project is lo-
cated south of Hiawatha Avenue and south of Hipps single fam-
ily addition.
Mr. Steve King, site planner for the project, explained the
site plans. Concept approval for the Village Hoods proposal is
requested after which a preliminary plat of Phase I will be
submitted. Rezoning of Neighborhood Ito RN 6.5 is requested.
To service the first phase of 23 lots use of Hiawatha will be
needed with truck service provided off Hitchell Road. No model
homes will be constructed as some homes will be built on a
speculative basis and similar homes are being built in Eden-
vale's Summerwoods.
The dedicated area will be maintained by the homeowners'
association and can be used as a pathway and yet serve as a
buffer. The tot lot will be accessable by two walkways.
Smaller lots are planned to provide medium income housing.
Prices will range between $34,000 and $50,000. The developer
wishes to maintain the density of 2-1/2 units per acre. Units
will be single family units with garages to the front of the
home. Double garages are encouraged.
Hr. Putnam stated that he has received positive comments regard-
ing the Hipps', village center and proposed development going
on in the area.
The proposal was referred to staff for recommendation.

OLYMPIC HILLS GOLF COURSE
Mr. John A. Price, a co-owner of Olympic Hil Is Golf Course, representing
the Board of Directors of Olympic Hills, visited my office this morning and
proposed the sale of Olympic Mils Golf Course to the Village of Eden Prairie.
Mr. Price extended an invitation to members of the Council to visit Olympic
Hills for lunch and a tour of the facility. Because Mr. Price will be out of
town for several weeks after Thanksgiving, he requested that the Council
meet with him and other members of the Board of Directors during the latter
part of next week or the week of November 19th. I will check with you
Tuesday evening in order that you can indicate your interest in such a
luncheon meeting.
We did not explore details on the proposed sale. Their asking price is
$2 million. The facilities include 200 acres, a club house, and maintenance
buildings and equipment.
Mr. Price indic ated that there are many options open in financing the
proposed sale and that he would be pleased to share them with us at the
meeting.
Two years ago Eden Prairie, Hopkins, and Minnetonka completed a joint
feasibility stud y to determine the feasibility of developing golf courses on
two sites to serve those communities. One site is located just south of the
Minnetonka/Eden Prairie boundary in the vicinity of 103. The other site
is in the southeast corner of M innetonka, just south of Hopkins. Minnetonka
decided to go on its own in developing a municipal golf course and nothing
more was done in a cooperative way by the three municipalities.
A copy of the su mmary of this Golf Feasibility Study is provided for your
information. The information on the golf market for this area as well as
the information on the costs for development should be interesting to you.
Every year for the last three years, Eden Land Corporation has offered to
sell Edenvale Golf Course to the Village, and every year the cost has gone
up approximatel y $200,000. The last offer made last spring was for
$1,315,000. This included / Odracres, maintenance buildings, and the club
house. We did initiate a vast study on Edenvale's proposal to sell.
Information has been gathered from other communities which have recently
developed and/or purchased their own municipal golf course facilities.
Dependent upon the Village Council's interest in Olympic Hills' proposal,
I would be able to prepare an analysis and recommendation in a relatively
short time.

On October 23, 1973 at 8:00 p.m. a meeting was held at the
Eden Prairie Fire Station. Thirteen fire departments were
represented at this meeting. The meeting started off with
a full report by Bonnie Morse, Chief from the Excelsior Fire
Department. The study which was made by Wold & Associates
was discussed and found to be very feasible for the purchase
and conversion of the Nike Missile Site at St. Bonifacious,
Minnesota.
A vote was taken to determine how many departments were
interested or would go along with the purchase of the site.
Ten departments voted yes and they are as follows: Chaska,
Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, Excelsior, Long Lake, Mound, Victoria,
Maple Plain, St. Bonifacious, Mayer. Three departments voted
no but would like to enter the agreement a little later and
they are as follows: Norwood, Mount Rose and Minnetonka.
Tonight there is a meeting at Long Lake to begin drafting a
workable second binding agreement for all member departments
and villages. The cost to each village will be $500.00 this
first year. The cost next year would depend on how fast we
develop the site. This site is a very good investment and
we are trying to get federal funds to help develop and operate
it. Also, I have contacted Vo-Tech for some financial he) p.
I would recommend that we send our $500.00 to Jerry Schmitz at
Long Lake as soon as possible so that we can make the down payment
to hold the property.
Thank you.

RE: CHANGE ORDER NO. 3, I.C. 51-249, HIPPS PLAN Et IMPROVENENIS
The Improvement Contract with Northdale Construction Company called for all
streets to be completely finished this year. Adjustment of manholes and gate—
valve tops to fit the finished pavement was incidental to the wearing course
layer and therefore, there are no specific pay items for this adjusnent provided
in the contract. The developer requested that the final inch and a half bituminous
wearing course layer be deferred until 1974 becausse of anticipated constructions
traffic in the area. We agreed to this but required that the maunhole and valve
tops be adjusted to match the base level at this time to facilitate access for
our maintenance crew and snowplowing.
Hence, Change Order No. 3 is required. The total cost for this change order
will be paid by Hipp's Construction Company.

Gentlemen:
Prior to connecting to the existing 16" watermain on Highway #169 across
from Creek boll Road on the above stated project, it was found that
it would be necessary to maintain wafer service to the Eden Prairie
Vocational-Technical School since the only valve which could be effectively
shut off was at Highway 8169 and Research Road.
Since there was no indication that this connection would be anything
other than an ordinary connection, we feel that we should be compensated
for our additional costs in this regard as follows:
August 27, 1973 - Flushed lines to Vo-Tec und checked valves.
Foreman 6 Pickup 4 hrs. #15.00 $60.00
Laborer 4 hrs. #12.00 48.00
August 28, 1973 - Supplied water to Vo-Tec School with our water

MAKEUP AND DUTIES OF MAJOR CENTER AREA TASK FORCE
1. The Council requested that the Major Center Area Task Force be continued
and that its functions and suggested makeup be submitted to the
Council for action.
I believe to make this group an effective advisory group in policy making for
the Major Center Area a staff member must be assigned to work very closely
with the Task Force. It would be my recommendation that the Director of Planning
be the Staff Coordinator for the Task Force - He may
utilize other members of the Staff as the needs dictate or may assign an assistant
to work in an on-going basis with the Task Force.
I believe the Director of Planning is most qualified and would require the infor-
mation gained by working with the Task Force in his normal duties with the Village.
Also, his staff function with the Planning Commission makes for a coordLnated
processing of development applications or refinements of the Major Center
development ordinances.
2. Function of the Task Force.
I believe the Task Force's major function will be to recommend policies which cortimall y
update the P. U.D. Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance for the M.C.A. This will be an
advisory function which would submit its recommendations to the
Village Planning Commission, prior to submission to the Village Council for decision.
A secoldary function will be the review of development
proposals of .significance"to the Major Center Area. The definition of significance
would be something to be determined by the Task Force members and Village officials,
in that small scale rezoning or development proposals may not dictate review by
this group,uniess there was conflict with the accepted development plan.. Other major
projects with over 20 acres should be considered.
3. Operation of the Task Force.
The Task Force should function not as a review authority, such as the Planning
Commission, but rather as a working group, meeting on pre-set dates to consider
development proposals or to consider amendments and changes to the Village
ordinances and policies regarding the M.C.A. The group should not be re5hicttid
in its 'future thinking" or research capabilities. I would hope that the Task Force
would stimulate new ideas and new approaches to development in the M. C.A. rather
than merely review land use plans.
The 30-60 periods for plan review in the TVI.C.A. (February, July, and October),
the Task Force would meet as demand dictates to review submitted development
proposals.
-2-
During the periods of the year when development ortmoncals are not being procesFud,
the Task Force should be encouraged to conduct research, ordinary review, and
creative thinking in which problems may be anticipated and solved. Througn
this process, the group should not be bogged down with the "nitty-grittles" but
can concentrate on creative thinking.
