PUBLIC HEARINGS (Cont'd.) C. Parkview Apartments... (Cont'd.) Mr. Lyle Engstrom, site planner and architect for the project, stated they could require recreational vehicles to be stored in garages or designate an area for storage. Mr. Peterson stated they would prefer to donate land for park so people living in project could enjoy the facilities, there will be some change in rental rates because of the decrease in units, doesn't know for sure who will pay for trails, and doesn't think a homeowners' association will be formed as it is a rental unit project. Mr. Ted, Stundatl, 8361 Mitchell Road, introduced Mr. Phil Jones, 8315 Mitchell Road, to make presentation for their group formed in opposition to the project. Mr. Jones showed slides of the area and stated the group's objection to the project because there would not be enough parking, would make the density of the area too high, not enough mixture of various kinds of housing, etc. He stated about 70 homeowners signed the petition opposing the project and that he agreed with the Planning Commission's recommendation to deny the project. Ms. Tanya Jones stated they opposed the whole area being developed into apartments as a mixture would be better. Bye moved that we continue the matter until the first meeting of next month because he wants to find out where we are from a financial position which might change his attitude towards everything ha does on this. Council, Penzel seconded. Fenzel stated he was against dragging this out any further because people have waited so long and stated he would withdraw his second.

Pauly, Penzel voted "aye", Mayor Csterholt voted "no" and Bye abstained. Motion carried. Matter was continued after the financial discussion. Bye - in view of the muddy position of our finances, it seems to me that we have to go through a sole-searching action as to where Eden Prairie is and where they are going, All of these items affect finances in one way or another and if we are precariously close to problems and if we know what our expenses are, it seems to me, we have to be careful how we get money in - one way is through people by taxes and that may be a very disruptive analysis. If we are now faced with a precarious financial condition,. maybe some of the luxuries of attitudes and planning and pie-in-the-sky plans for the future may have to be 910 Minutes –5 – August 5, 1975 II.

Report of City Manager 1. 1974 Audit Report (All Funds)._ City Manager Ulstad introduced Mr. Greg Murphy of the George M. Hansen Company who did Eden Prairie's 1974 audit. Mr. Murphy explained the audit and stated the City is in good financial condition, however, they did list some concerns such as the Reserve Fund is less than 5';; of total budget and if the City falls more than a year or two behind on utility projects, it could pose a problem in seven or eight years when the bonds become due. Council members questioned Messrs. Murphy, Ulstad and Frane as to whether the City is in severe financial condition and they all stated the City is not in severe financial condition, but that they had some concerns which they were attempting to resolve. Mr. Robert Hansen, representing the Chamber of Commerce, asked Mr. Murphy about surplus spending and if the City will meet the p'rojected income. Mr. Richard Anderson asked what the City's bond rating was and stated he wished the Mayor had told the Park & Rec. Commission he thought the City was in financial trouble when they were putting the bond issue together. Mrs. Wiggins stated that when the Mayor said he would present a statement that all Council members could support that he should have done so or called them and informed them accordingly as his statement did sway voters. Ms. Judy Schuck stated she wanted to go on record that at no time was the Citizen's Committee for informing voters on the bond referendum informed the City was facing financial trouble.

(Special assessments payable to the City of Eden Prairie for sewer and water installation by Hennepin County) The following 1974 assessments were due and payable in the year 1974. Plat Parcel Amount 56703 4200 $ 65.98 56704 7400 2,637.22 56704 7800 328.22 56704 8200 4,493.50 TOTAL $7,524.92 Because of transfer of personnel who were responsible for the payment of taxes and assessments by the County and the "crunch" in moving of County offices from the Court House to the Government Center, payment of the above assessments were inadvertently not rade by May 31, 1974, when the first half became due and payable. This necessitated having each city waive the penalties accruing. The following tabulation lists the assessments and the penalties for each City which had to be waived before payment was made.

These penalties have now grown to a total of $1,174.84. If the Eden Prairie Council will approve the waiving of the p a y m e n t o f the accrued penalties on the above (4) parcels, this office w i l l r e c o m m e n d the processing of the payment of $1,524.92. Payment of the assessments for 1975 were made without any p e n a l i t i e s o r costs. I hope this "sheds" some light on this matter.

The $35,000 price proposed is equal to the appraised value as determined by the independent real estate appraiser. The terms of the purchase would be cash on or about September 1, 1975, Mr. Blacklock requesting the right to occupy the home until their new home in Moose Lake, Minnesota is completed. The target date for this completion is January 1, 1 9 7 6 . In terms of the location and design of this home, it would appear to have utility in the future nature center use of the park area as a "wildlife blind" for observation and interpretive programs. Therefore, I would suggest that the home be rented until park development occurs or until a decision to not utilize the home for this purpose is made. It seams that a reasonable rental rat e would be $275 per month, the renter assuming minor maintenance a n d utility costs and the City assuming the responsibility for any m a j o r maintenance items and for insurance on the building. RROOMMENBED ACTION I would recommend that the City enter into a purchase agreement for the Blacklock's Tract A Registered Land Survey No. 785. That the purchase price be $35,000 payable in cash on or about Septem- ber 1, 1975, that the Blacklocks have the right to continue to occupy the home until their new home is completed with a target date of January 1, 1976. I would further recommend that the City secure someone to rent the home at the monthly rental rate of $275 beginning when the Blacklocks vacate the property and to continue until park development occurs at which time the house would be us e d for Rater° Center activities within the park. 92,3 MEMO TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council THROUGH: Roger Ulstad, City Manager FROM: Marty Jessen , Director of Community Services SUBJECT: Park, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission review and action concerning the proposed Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Recreation Area.

Moved Garens, seconded Anderson that in view of the previous motion the Commission recommends to the Council that they do all in their power to support the 'U.S. Minnesota Congressional Delegation in their sponsorship of enabling legislation for enact- ment.

Request for rezer..ng from Rural to Commercial for the purpose of constructing a Lawn Ec Garden Store. The property is located across Highway 5 from the Stewart Sandwich Co. Mayor Csterholt asked about access to the property. Mr. Riegert said the property has an existing driveway, that there is access to Westgate, also, and that 75% of his business is pick-up and delivery service. Perbix said he sees no problem with access to the property. Pauly spoke in favor of the request, saying the property needs rezoning, there is commercial use adjoining it, and the place for this type of business is not in the Major Center Area. Meyers said the request is contrary to the Guide Plan for Highway 5 and the requests for traffic safety improvement and that she cannot support it. Mayor Osterholt said the type of business he has in mind is distinct in that no traffic problems arc created and that it is a good proposal and good opportunity for this particular arca. - McCulloch asked if the Council could refuse other developement along Highway 5'if this request is approved. Perbix advised the Council to mentally assess the rest of the tract, looking to consistency in zoning. Mayor Osterholt agreed that it would be proper to take action on the whole parcel. Notion by Pauly, seconded by McCulloch, to continue the hearing to the October 22 meeting and that the Council direct the staff to select a consulting service to resolve the problems of the PS district, specifically the north- east Quadrant of highways 4 & 5, and report to the Council at the October 1 meeting.
