Mrs. Meyers asked if assessments would be made on the front footage basis. Mr. Jullie replied that assessments would be made on the per rec unit basis. Dwight Stroud, representing property owner at 9690 Franlo Road asked what the lateral assessment would be. Mr. Jullie answered that for the Sanitary Sewer lateral assessment, the total cost on Franlo Road would be divided by the number of rec units to equal the rate. Exception - existing single family property owners would be assessed 25% less. Mr. Stroud asked if there would be an option to hook up. Mr. Jullie answered that there would be no assessment until hook up was made. Mr. Ray Welter asked why the sewer line did not follow the road. Mr. Jullie replied that the most economical proposal has been made to locate utilities. Mr. Stroud asked the rate of finance for the assessment. Mayor Osterholt stated that a term of 20 years with 6.6% interest rate would be in effect. Mr. Wallace of 9601 Franlo Road voiced concern over road conditions during construction.

Osterholt Members of City Council — City of Eden Prairie 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343 Re: Public Hearing July 9, 1974 on STR 74-3-09, Upgrading T.H. #169 Attention: Mr. Carl Jullie, City Engineer Ladies &Gentlemen: In review of this project we have a number of concerns that must be cleared up before we can support the upgrading of Highway 169 and subsequently dedicate any right-of-way. 1. We agree with Mr. dulliess letter of June 6th that the ROW costs are quite high. We would like to review the individual costs and explore alternative road locations that might eliminate the need for such a large expense. It would appear that moving the rind easterly in the vicinity of the bulk oil plant would eliminate the necessity of relocat- ing the bulk oil plant, warehouse, single family home and garage. Since the Wye Mobil site will be gaining land from the vacation of the road behind the station, they would not be losing land. The Wye is also planning on construction of a new station and therefore they have a large degree of flexibility. I would expect the bulk oil plant is not a long term installation so a lot of money shouldn't be spent on a short term solution. Also the W. G. Smith property that the bulk oil plant is located on is only a little over 200 feet deep and losing additional depth to ROW may make the parcel difficult to work with. There also appears to be sufficient space between Highway 169 and Homartts internal service road to allow the proposed alignment of 169 to move over enough to miss the garage and house. 2. The assessment district is proposed to end 350 feet south of Leona Road while the upgrading continues up to the bridge. This area is being improved and should also be included. The main objection would probably come from the Eden Prairie Presbyterian Church and their assessment could be deferred until there was a land use change on their parcel. irr4 A Total Environment Community—8020 Frenb Rd.,Eden Prairie,Mae.15343—(612'}141-203 4. .‘" July 1, 1974 Re: Public Hearing July 9, 1974 on STR 74-3-09, Upgrading T.H. #169 Page Two 3. We have not received a reply to our request in my letter of May 23, 1974 for access, with median crossing, between the Ring Road and Eden Road intersections. The intersection locations between the freeway ramp, Leona Road, West 78th Street and the northerly Homart access all approximate the spacing we are requesting and we should be afforded equivalent access. 4. We do not have any information on the new proposed ROW dimensions and consequently do not know how much land we are being requested to dedicate. Item 3 in Mr. Juniata report of June 6, 1974 mentions a possible realignment from the feasibility study that would result in less encroachment on Mr. Steelmants property. Any change here will expand our expected dedications, so we will want to review this. 5. The plans show the construction limits extending into the greenhouse area in parcel 5600. What compensation is planned for the destruction of these buildings? 8. A list of proposed ROW purchase should be made available for our review. The Preserve should not be expected to dedicate its land while other ROW is being purchased. 7. This improvement is not an internal road and falls into the same regional benefit context as the Ring Road. Assessment policies must reflect this and spread the cost to the Major Center Area with a minimum of 50* participation by the City of Eden Prairie. The Preserve continues to support the road improvements necessary for the opening of the Homart Eden Prairie Center. However, we feel that a more economical and fair solution can be obtained.

Franc, Clerk TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Carl Jullie, City Engineer THROUGH: Robert Heinrich, City (tanager SUBJECT: Feasibility Report on Project SiR 74-3-09. • Upgrading T.H. #169 from 1/4 mile south of the Ring Road to I-494. • DATE: June 6. 1974 In anticipation of substantially increased traffic volumes on T.H. 169 (Flying Cloud Drive) after opening of the Homart Center and as other properties in the Major Center Area are developed, the Minnesota Highway Department has proposed the upgrading of said T.H. 169 from approximately one-quarter mile south of the Ring Road to I-494. The planned upgrading consists of a 4-lane. divided urban section with right and left turn lanes plus acceleration lanes.. Preliminary plans for the proposed upgrading have been submitted for our review and council approval.They are identified as Layout 2, S.P. 2744-16. An informational meeting was recently held at the City Hall with several of the property owners involved. Three basic changes in the preliminary plans have been requested by the property owners as follows: 1. Include signal lights at the northerly entrance to the Homart Center. 2. Provide for a full intersection approximately one-eighth mile south of the Ring Road. 3. Attempt to modify the alignment resulting in less encroach- ment and impact on the developed single family lot (TR.C,RLS No. 423) at the southwest end of the project. These requests are reasonable and will be given serious consideration by the Highway Department. The total estimated cost for the proposed project breaks down as follows: $ 800,000 Grading and Roadway Construction 75,000 Traffic Signal 275,000 Right-of-way Acquisition $1,150,000 Total Project Cost. The estimated cost for right-of-way is quite high because of anticipated re- location of the H. Gordon Smith Co. bulk oil plant and warehouse plus purchase of a single family home, moving a garage and other land aquisition as noted on said preliminary plans. �. 2E: Mayor and City Council Page 2 June 6, 1974 Per correspondence from the Highway Department dated April 5, 1974 and May 30, 1974 (copies attached) Eden Prairie will be responsible for the right- of-ray acquisition. The traffic signal and part of the curb and gutter will also be Eden Prairie's responsibility. The state would pay for all other costs. On this basis the total estimated Eden Prairie share of the project would be $370,000. It is proposed that all costs to Eden Prairie will be assessed back on a per front-footis the those Ring properties oad toi350afeetisarthHoft69 from leona Road(south line first r of Leona addition). The cost of the traffic signal would be shared only by the Homart property and the Beckman (Tiernan) property, parcel 5431 on a per front foot basis. The estimated assessment rates are $48.2D per foot and $38.86 per foot for the traffic signal.

Heinrich • City Manager 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343 Re: S.P. 2744-16 (T.H. 169 at Homart Center) Dear Mr. Heinrich: Submitted herewith are preliminary plans and plan approval resolutions for Layout 2 of the above referenced project. Several modifications of the • previous layout were required in order to receive Minnesota Highway Depart- ment staff approval. They were: 1) Easing the horizontal curvature ap- proaching the south end of the project and thereby making the median is- land more visible to the motorist approaching from the south, 2) flattening of the horizontal curvature near the Mobil Oil bulk oil storage tanks. The elimination of these above ground oil storage tanks removes a potentially dangerous condition for the motorist and the surrounding area. As previously discussed, acquisition and costs of all rights-of-way will be the responsibility of Eden Prairie. To allow us to participate, all pro- cedures of acquisition of rights-of-way must follow State Law. Questions on this can be directed to Mr. Earl Howe, District R/W Engineer. The ma- jor construction costs will be borne by the Minnesota Highway Department in accordance with the current Minnesota Highway Department Policies and Procedures for cooperative construction projects within municipalities and as depicted in color code on the preliminary plan. Construction costs associated with approaches to the Ring Road, Homart Center, 78th Street and possible future access roads will be the responsi- bility of Eden Prairie. There has been considerable discussion regarding the installation of traffic signals at the major intersections along this section of roadway. If it can be determined, based on projected traffic volumes, that these intersections meet signal warrants as given by the Manual on Uniform Traf- fic Control Devices; the Highway Department will allow Eden Prairie to install ' the signals at no cost to the State. If projected volumes do not meet war- rants or if the municipality decides not to construct the signals at the present time, at some future date where signal warrants are met, the Highway Department would design and construct the signals under normal cost partici- pation policies. The timing of any Minnesota Highway Department signal construction would be based upon a total District 5 priority list. +ems e • . - -•• Mr. Robert P. Heinrich April 5, 1974 Page 2 If it is deemed necessary to hold a public hearing on the Minnesota High- • way Department's proposed T.H. 169 construction and Eden Prairie's partici- pation in the financing of this upgrading, it would be desirable to hold a combined pm1104,. hearing.

In order to facilitate this project as rapidly as possible we are recommending that the City let and administer the contract in 1 addition to acquiring the R/W. The State would be in a position . to prepare final plans and give guidance in the preparation of • specifications for use by the City. Engineering could be performed I by State forces under a Technical Assistance agreement. Our right of way section will Layout the necessary right of way after we have received construction limits from the designer. We will also write the legal descriptions for your use. Please have your city Attorney furnish an opinion of title for each individual ownership for our use in setting up parcels and writing descriptions. Contents of the • cooperative agreement, to be prepared by the State, would reflect the above proposals along with cost splits as indicated in our original transmittal. The above proposal would be subject to the concurrence of the Central Office Staff. If this approach seems desirable please advise us in order that preparations of the agreement can commence.

I don't imagine you would need this for the council but you could explain to them if they want to know about the terms. • Yours very truly, • rome Jaspe pe JJ/jm VI. C. - _ DATE: June 25, 1974 TO: Mayor and Council Members THRU: Robert P. Heinrich, City Manager FROM: Marty lessen, Director of Community Services A.' SUBJECT: Negotiations with Mrs. Eleanor Holasek concerning the purchase of land owned by her in the Anderson Lakes Park Area Because of the Council's recent direction to proceed to negotiate with all of the "acreage land holders" in the Anderson Lakes Park Area, I've con- tacted Mrs. Eleanor Holasek at 9800 Amsden Road, Eden Prairie, about purchasing the 9.9 acres which she owns at this address plus the one additional acre she owns along County Road 18. She has retained a Mr. Jerome Jaspers to assist her in negotiations with us. Mr. John Janski from Janski and Gibson Real Estate Appraisers, on January 31, 1974, evaluated the 9.9 acres which Mrs. Holasek owns at 9800 AmsdenRoad, and valued it at$107,750. This is based on a per acre price of$7,500 plus $33,500 for the improvements there. Since that time, the condemnation award on the Gon-a property resulting in a per acre value of in excess of$10,000 has been made. The City has also agreed to purchase the Moorings' property at$15,000 per acre. Based on these facts, Mrs. Holasek was asking $200;000 for her property. Having evaluated the appraisals prepared by Mr. Janski and our other ac- quisitions in the area, I felt it appropriate to offer$130,000 for the 9.9 acres including the house at 9800 Amsden Road plus the one acre which the Holaseks own along County Road 18. In addition, I suggested that we would assume all of the assessments presently pending on the property. In further discussions on this matter between Mr. Jaspers and myself, we have arrived at a figure of$135,000 in cash plus the City assumes the assessments on the property, plus the City would pay the last half of the taxes for 1974. The Holaseks have agreed to these terms. The Holaseks do not presently live in the house. They winter in Texas and have a summer lake home in northern Minnesota. They would like to complete this purchase as soon as possible so that they do not have to move back into the house after their present renters move out on July 1. I would suggest that the City purchase the property under the terms speci- fied and move the house off the site at the earliest possible date. VI. C. DATE: July 5, 1974 TO: Park& Recreation Commission Members • FROM: Marty Jessen, Director of Community Services RE: Lake Riley Park Study In April 1974, Mr. Ken£cnaitberger contacted the City concerning his desire to sell his land at Lake Riley including 9.07 acres of land and the improvements thereon, including the resort and his home. The City Council referred this matter to the Park &Recreation Commission for their review and recommendations, including an analysis of park needs in the Lake Riley area and more specifically, detail recommendations as to the type and size of a park to be located on Lake Riley itself. The I968 Comprehensive Guide PIan shows a community park of approximately 60 acres on the northeast shores of Lake Riley including approximately 1,000 feet of lake shore. Subsequent to that time the Park&Recreation Commission has talked further about a park on Lake Riley and has suggested that all of the lake shore within Eden Prairie, from the western boundary of the West Minister Heights Camp area around to the railroad tracks be acquired for public open-space purposes. NATURAL FEATURES OVERVIEW Lake Riley is approximately 286 acres in size with maximum depth of ap- proximately 50 feet, the average depth of the lake is equal to approximately 23 feet. It is located approximately twenty miles southwest of downtown Minneapolis on the boarder between Hennepin and Carter Counties and on the boarder between the City of Eden Prairie and Chanhassen. Lake Riley is presently used for multiple recreational purposes including fishing, boat- ing and swimming. There is a diverse game fish population in the lake making it an important fishing lake. The surface area and general shape of the lake also make it suitable for sailing and water skiing. No public swimming beach is maintained on the lake, but several private swimming areas and boat launch areas do exist. The Riley Creek Watershed District has been studying water quality in Lake Riley since 1970. They have found, in Phase I, of the study that the eutrophication level of Lake Riley is such that recreational uses which de- mand relatively clear water, such as swimming, are being impaired by algae blooms during warm summer months. When compared with other large re- creation lakes in the metropolitan area the water quality information coIlect- ed on Lake Riley indicates that the eutrophication level is "moderately high". The Lake does support greater algae blooms than Bryant Lake. Given the data collected to date the Watershed District within their classification for recreational activity assigned Riley Lake to Level 2, which means ) Page 2 it is suitable for sail boating, water skiing, motor boating, canoes, hiking and picnicking but not presently suitable for Level 1 activities, which includes scuba diving and swimming. The remainder of the study at Riley Lake will address these problems Bother, • identify sources of high nutrient inputs, and recommend a course of action for either maintaining existing quality or restoring a higher water quality level. Lake Riley has one inlet, Riley Creek, coming from nearly straight north from the Rice-Marsh Lake area, the Lake outlets to the south as Riley Creek continues on to the Minnesota River bottoms. The Creek valley as it inlets the Lake has a rather shallow channel with some mature trees along the valley. As Riley Creek outlets Lake Riley the valley gets very steep and heavily wooded as it traverses the southwestern corner of Eden Prairie to , the river bluff area. Water runs into Lake Riley through Riley Creek nearly all of the time, though not in large volumns most of the time. The majority of the shore line of Lake Riley is sandy with reasonably well defined beachs, especially along the north and east shore lines. Addition- ally, there is a substantialy number of mature trees existing all along the east and north shores line with a great concentration of trees on the beauti- ful wooded knoll on the former West Minister Heights Camp property now owned by Len Swedlund. Other wooded areas in the vicinity of Lake Riley lay to the north and east of the lake and surround a couple of small ponding areas. - - The slopes in this area are generally rather gently rolling rather than severe slopes although a rather steep bank occurs on the north shore of much of _ _ ._ _ ._ the lake and a steep hill.is encountered on the former West Minister Heights ..property. Much of the land across Riley Lake goad from the lake is rather open field which would be very conducive to intensive recreational develop- ment. MAN-MADE FEATURES An existing municipal road runs along the lake shore on the east side after . crossing the railroad tracks and extends in a northwesterly direction into Chanhassen. Riley Lake Road as it is called is a rather narrow dirt road, which handles a great amount of traffic because of the Lakeview Hills Apartments and the private beach and boat launch areas including Dutch's and Jacques' facilities. The Minneapolis/St. Louis railroad tracks run north- east/southwesterly along the lake shore on the southeast portion of the lake,. One small home exists between Riley Lake Road and the actual Lake, on the east side of the lake. A number of small cabins, trailers and other • 9 it Page 3 • "summer home " development exists along the east and northeast portion of the lake and then the substantial development exists un the former West Minister Heights Camp property including Mr. Swedlund present home, some lodges and cabins which were used in the camp program when it was in operation. Across the road from the lake there are seven homes and Dutch's Resort in the area which extends from the railroad tracks along in a northwesterly direction to the Eden Prairie boarder. Future man-made features which will affect any park and open space area in the Lake Riley facility include the future 212 freeway expansion lying just south of the railroad aliment and the future north/south parkway which will extend from 212 in a northerly direction and intersect with Highway I5. PARK&RECREATION NEED The 1968 Comprehensive Planning process identified three basic goals, as follows: 1. Preserve and capitalize on the nature of Eden Prairie in all development, but as much as possible by preserving farming and acquiring land for parks and open space. 2. Control growth by every means available. But largely through limit- ations on commerical and industrial development and low density residential. There is room enough for some of everything in Eden Prairie if it is carefully planned. High standards should be established for all development. 3. Invest in community services now. Particularly good schools and parks and the equipment and staff to utilize them effectively. Investment today will insure future demand for responsible industry and residents. • In the recent secondary school site selection study conducted jointly with the School District, population projections were developed for the south- western portion of Eden Prairie. Population projections for this area are in the neighborhood of 30,000 people with total population of the City some- where between 130,000 and 160,000 people. The need for community park and play-field facilities in this section of the City will be substantial as development in that area begins to accelerate. Presently the City's policy is to not extend utilities into the area and to not permit •development on other than five acre parcels of property. However, in as much as most of the area around the lake is in large tracks ownership acquisition of any land would be much easier to accomplish at this point than should it be sub-divided and built on in the near future. Lake Riley, because of its size, depth and recreational potentie.l should have a substantial public access to it for all the residents of the City to take advantage of this desirable natural resource. The Lake has a very _ high recreational potential even with the present water quality problem • . __ I Page 4 which may be corrected and in fact should lessen in the near future be- cause of the availability of utilities to the apartment complex Just to the north of the lake in Chanhassen. The area around the lake to the north and east of the lake has desirable physical attributes for a well rounded recreational facility to be developed thereon, The Lake shore itself can serve many outdoor recreation needs, such as the water related activities mentioned earlier, picnicking, hiking nature study etc. The area across the present Riley Lake Road which is primarily open field could be easily developed for community play field facilities including lighted hockey, free-skating facility, softball, football, and a variety of other field games spaces. Additionally the necessary support facilities, such as parking, buildings, etc. can be easily accommodated within the existing land form and natural features.of the site. SUMMARY - - Lake Riley is the largest, either all or partially in the City of Eden Prairie with the exception of the very shallow lakes within the Minnesota River bottom area. It is extremely well suited for recreational usage, even with the present water quality problem. The lake shore is basically sandy with a substantial amount of wooded property thereby making it extremely desirable for picnicking, boating, etc. Riley Creek inlets to the lake on the north side of the lake and the wooded area along the Creek would make a desirable park system. The open field space Just east of the Creek to the wooded area surrounding the pond would provide a very ideal play field location for the southwestern sector of Eden Prairie. Land in this area currently exists in large parcels and could be acquired for community park and playfteld uses without affecting a great number of property owners and homeowners. Potential for federal, state and other funding for acquisition in this area appears to be fairly good. Lake Riley —.ia-a-desirable.lake-fdt recreational:-use.and fits well within the context . _ .. of the State Outdoor Recreation Plan by providing facilities of this type • within the metropolitan area. I would estimate that the acquisition cost would be somewhere in the area of 1 million dollars. jtECOMMENDATIONS 1. The City should formally adopt the Riley Lake Community Park and Playfield Plan calling for the acquisition of 185 acres including all of the land between Riley Lake Road and the Lake itself and the additional acres across the road identified on the map developed by the staff. 2. Federal and state application for acquiring Dutch's Resort should be filed for 1975, also included in this grant application should be a request . • Page 5 for funding for the property owned by Jacques and Miller. 3. The City should proceed to acquire the other land as it becomes available for sale. But should not permit any change in present land use. 4. The immediate short term use of the land acquired should be studied further, and the possibility of utilizing Dutchs Resort for.teen-Program activities should be explored in detail. • MI/Mac • • • • • • • , . . .- • PRELIMINARY City of Dden Prairie July 5, 1974 1975 LAWCON Application: STARING LAKE PARK ACREAGE EST.

She felt that it was important that the Planning Commission and Council get together and discuss: many of the policies relating to growth and expectations for development to enable -better communication and functioning of the Planning Commission , staff, and Council. Mrs. Schee, chairing the meeting, asked that we consider the objectives on page 13 of the attached material from the Comprehensive Guide Plan. Reviewing those objectives some questions were raised by the members. Meyers, Schee, and Sorensen, questioned the objective of preserving farming as an occupation wondering why it was included and if it could be economically possible. When the Guide Plan was completed the City was primarily rural and farming was a major occupation. The feeling of the group was that the phasing-out of farming through the period of urbanization was most critical to protect those long term residents. Also the thought of protecting certain areas for farming activities by not extending utilities,or as park open space might be possible. Sorensen raised many questions to which he felt the Council mist address itself to and discuss with the Commissions and staff to establish policies which may be dearly understood. The areas would be: 1. Controlled Growth and what does it mean for Eden Prairie. 2. Limited building heights or varied heights within the community as a policy. 3. How should densities be determined and what should the densities be in planned unit developments, new and existing. 4. The population limitations or growth strategies. 5. Percentage of each type of residential structures withbthe community as well as the percentage of jobs related to households. 6. What is the sizing of utilities,and .does it encourage a retard higher densities and greater growth. 7. Should all of the community be sewered or not, and in what time frame. Meyers indicated that there were many mechanisms provided for growth control methods, such as density transfers and large scale development, these are provided in the plan element section of the Comprehensive Guide Plan. • Joint Council & Planning Commission Meeting June 15,1974' page 2 McCulloch encouraged the City to control development through the extension of utilities and that when development is encouraged utilities should certainly be part of that development. Lane questioned what was really meant by controlled growth and that it was a confusing issue. Heinrich indicated that staff members had participated in controlled growth seminars at a national level and many had a very good handle on the techniques availalie . The City is currently using various mechanisms to stimulate growth in desired areas and limit growth in others through the Capital Improvements Program, development agreements, planned unit development approvals, zoning, ordinances,etc. He indicated that it if it was the Council's wish the staff could pursue the controlled growth issue and provide the necessary information that the Council may need to make a decision relative to Eden Prairie's growth strategy. McCulloch asked who really controls growth; he many times feels that it is not the City butthe developer. Putnam suggested that controlling of suburban growth • requirecthe coordination of the City's development policy and the market place. He felt the City must provide opportunities for varied types of development so that the opportunities exist for all prospective residents. Sorensen, Meyers&McCulloch . agreed that the Commercial Needs Study would be required to guide commercial development. Also consideration of the entire development guide must be made to establish where the community is at this time related to develop- ment. • McCulloch questioned the blanket variances which have been given. Putnam responded that Ordinances l35& 93 are intended tops:midi Variance provisions for PUD develop- ments specifically and that the staff has worked out a revised Planned Unit Develop- ment Ordinance which clarifies the questions of variances from Ordinance 135. He pointed out that it was easy to see the confusion due to the zoning of land within PUD's of categories under Ordinance 135, hence implying the set-back standards, etc. • The third objective which dealt with building a professional staff seemed to be.an area where individuals had strong feelings. Putnam expressed his personal opinion that the Council has not provided leadership in a positive manner by changing or reaffirming policies which would enable the staff and advisory commissions to function as expected . Putnam believed that the staff morale was not a function of the administration withih•, • the City Hall but rather actions by members of the City Council which do not encourage employees, examples such as; the salary review question which was left hanging for two months, and the feeling that the City Hall was over-staffed and the innuendo q.estioning the quality of the staff. Specifically Putnam believed that ' Joint Council & Plan ning Commission Meeting June 15,1974 r page 3 charges had been made, but had they been checked with staff members would have been clarified without dealing with them in a public meeting. He cited two examples from a previous Council meeting where the Mayor had suggested the staff members had made decisions which should have been made by the Manager or the Council. He cited the example of Prairie Park and a Lutheran Church site where the planner had acted incorrectly. These charges were made at a public Council Meeting without first checking withthe Planner. Putnam responded that he and other staff msmka s have had other job offbrs,and wished the Council would be more supportive of the work which they are doing. Most of those present believed that negativism in decision making did not provide positive leadership unless it was clarified. Schee believed that communicatbn between the Commission, staff,and Council could and should be.improved. Penzel believed that decisions that are made must be clarified so that leaderslp is provided but that specific projects do not provide the opportunity to establish policy, rather policy should be set by the Council specifically and not implied through a series of disconne cted decisions. • • Sorensen affirmed the right to vote no being as reasonable as voting yes for any project and felt that in voting no reasons may be given but not required. • Schee indicated that no one is dealing with personalities but rather with the decision making process and that the Council and Commission should be confronting the issues and establishing policies to direct them. Sorensen agreed that any changes in policy from one CounaIt to another must be made known to the Commission and staff for them to function and Should be done through the policy making process rather than by specific votes , He indicated any staff that is worth having should try to influence policy in-a positive manner and where policy does not exist to initiate policy. Schee believed that communication between tie staff, Council,and Planning Commission-in establishing pities toward development, open space, etc.,.is,: - mandatory for their functioning. Mat to do with the Commercial Needs Study - Penzel believed that we need the Commercial Needs Study to assist us in making these decisions or to base our decision upon established policy in the Comprehensive Guide Plan. Meyers believed that the Comprehensive Guide Plan review as outlined by &auer's office would not answer the questions which confront us now which relate to policy at the Council levd . Also she believed that the Guide Plan which exists has not beendiscussed to determine which is inappropriate or what are still viable objectives. The members present indicated in reviewing a few elements of the Guide Plan that the Guide Plan was still valid and that the rbjectives set then are still valid today. Joint Council& Planning Commission Meeting June 15,1974 page 4 Meyers indicated some issues which concerned her that must be addressed by the staff and Council;these Included: 1. Homeowners' Associations 2. Sector planning philosophy and its impact 3. Capital Improvements Program h' 4. Park and Open Space System and financing 5. Financing for public improvensnts 6. Ordinance rated to Controlled Growth 7. Ordinances such as the Sign& Flood PIain 8. Development ordinance for the Major Center Area 9. Revised Planned Unit Development Ordinance 10. The Trails Task Force and its implications throughout the community 11. The up-dating of the Guide Plan data. Many commission members questioned what the Council's feeling was regarding theMajor Center Area and whether it was still a valid concept. Sorensen questioned whetlnrthe 212 alignment should be ' where it is or whether it should be on Highway 5,or whether the road should be butt at all. He indicated that is one example of where the Guide Plan has not remained static and that decisions must be made relative to the chnulrg development. John McCulloch asked the planner how he felt about the Guide Plan review. Putnam responded that he believed that reviewof the Guide Plan should be done annually by the City Council and Planning Commission at a special meeting. He indicated that the staff was putting together the basic data as outlined in the first section of Brauer's proposal. which should enable the City Council and Planning Commission to make an evaluation of where the City is today in relation- ship to the 1968 Comprehensive Guide Plan. A decision whether to pursue a complete review of the Guide Plan or rather specific elements such as the Commercial Need Study might be made based upon this information. He believed the City had followed the policies established in the 1968 Guide Plan and has implemented those in numerous ways. Individual Members'Summary McCulloch: He believed that we did not need a full blown study of the Comprehensive Plan at this time but rather that the Council and Commission should evaluate the data being gathered by the staff and make a decision based upon that data. That the use of consultant dollars to up-date'the Guide Plan should be important to provide guidance in this area. He believed that it was important to have informal discussions such as this meeting and appreciated the openness from the members present. w Joint Council & Planning Commission Meeting June 15,1974 page 5 Penzel : He felt that it was a good erfiange and agreed with the comment that Mr. McCulloch made. He believed that the Council decision on the Guide Plan should be based upon the research data being provided and should allow a certain amount of flexibility for changes. - • He^believedthe situation of Commercial development around 4 & 5 • was not consistent withthe Comprehensive Guide Plan and since _ the Commercial Needs Study would not be completed on schedule • - --- - -• •- that action should be•given to-those developers. =He.indicated the meeting was consistent with the open meeting law in that it was discussed at the previous Council Meeting and a date established and reflected in the minutes. &own: He was happy to hear that the Guide Plan was still a valid document and that nosignificant changes were discussed at:then Meeting. He expressed concern that not all the Council mambas were there L -_-_ ... , --- .too answer-questions and hear various opinions, he did not believe A.,Uri;'+ac4.;,4 ,d4,ut<...F . •-the staff wasdaeincputtlized in,the most efficient fashion-to t.; implement Council policy and their administrative frame work. He felt that thevolume of wcdc was excessive for the staff to handle and • morale has been adversely affected by Council action.

The meeting*dictated at 12:12 PM Submitted by Dick Putnam, City Planner DATE: July 2, 3974 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Courrpil PROM: Robert P. Heinrich, City Manager SUBJECT: Public Safety Department Supervisory Positions The 1974 Public Safety Department budget provides for the position of Crime Prevention Sergeant. The budget calls for this position to be filled as of July 1, 1974. t have appointed Keith Wall to the position of Crime Prevention Sergeant. Last year the Public Safety Director, Jack Hacking, included in his 1974 budget request one additional supervisory positionithat of Patrol Unit Supervisor (Sergeant). Because of budget limitations, I did not recommend, nor did the Council include in the 1974 budget, the position of Patrol Super- visor. In recent months, the Public Safety Director has indicated to me that the need for a Patrol Supervisor is more evident than even he had anticipated last fall. Our Public Safety program includes a heavy emphasis with involvement and use of citizens. On the organizational chart attached, you will see that we presently have 12 Public Safety Reserve Officers, 7 Public Safety Cadets, and 8 Community Service Officers. Five of the Community Service Officers receive a very minimal stipend, some are reimbursed through intern programs through their universities, and three serve at no compensation whatsoever. In order to have the most effective use of the manpower available to us, paid as well as volunteer, and to minimize command and supervisory confusion as much as possible, Mr. Hacking requests that we create the position of Patrol Supervisor as soon as possible. I urge the Council to favorably con- sider this request. Most certainly this position would be recommended for the 3 975 budget. Public Safety Officer Curt Oberlander is our choice to fill this position. RPHIab attach. VI. P. 1.

We also have programs for recreational and water improvement projects which. are cooperative endeavors between the watershed district and the municipalities of the district. During the year 1974, we have ongoing programs ith the communities of Savage, Shakopee, Chaska and Bloomington. The • programs are generally cost sharing in nature, with 50 percent of the total cost of the project being borne by the watershed district and the expense of the municipality • represented either in cash contribution or in the • labor and services performed by the municipality. In order that we might plan the district's activities for the year 1975, we would appreciate hearing from your respective communities concerning possible cooperative projects that might be undertaken.

The committees are charged with completing their investigations and reports by November let. This will enable consideration by the Board and membership during the first two weeks of November and the subsequent drafting into proposed bill form as necessary during the latter two weeks of November and the first weeks in December. The Board would like to have a clear indication of all persons in the urban and suburban municipalities who are willing and able to give of their time and energy to serve on these committees. This is en opportunity to serve with your neighboring colleagues for the betterment of municipal government. If you are interested please indicate on the attached card persona in your municipality who would like to serve and the committees on which they are interested. The committees are: Metropolitan Agencies. To examine the basic structure of the Metropolitan Council, the other metropolitan agencies their interrelationships end relation- ships to local government is the basic charge to the committee. Additional powers for the Council as related to the growth control stategies are presently being discussed. Should such an appointed body have any more powers? Where do the relationships between the Council and local governments still need to be improved? Should there continue to be different competing staffs among the metropolitan agencies? Ia the metropolitan area too small for any real practical growth control strategies? These are the kinds of questions the committee will be expected to answer. Municipal Revenues. Those aspects of the municipal revenue system deemed to be of revelance to the municipalities in the Metropolitan area shall be examined and recommendations made where found to be appropriate. Areas to be examined include such items as: county/municipal aid fund; the limitations on municipal authority to levy property taxes; property tax classification and administration; hotel, motel, admissions and amusement taxes, fiscal disparities, and other revenue issues the committee finds to be of importance to the metropolitan municipalities. Are the present systems adequate? inadequate? if so how should they be improved? Should there be the institution of one or more new revenue measures?, are examples of questions the committee will be expected to answer. 9 .
