II. 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.
Penael moved to table matter until financial condition of
Eden Prairie has received due consideration from this
Council, Pauly seconded. 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

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. Also, stated
they would have appreciated the information the Mayor
mentioned in his public statement being given to them
and asked for the Mayor's explanation that the School
District was in trouble.

Dear Mr. Ulstad:
As per our telephone conversation of July 16, 1975, the writer will
attempt to update you on the subject on which we discussed. (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.

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.

Petition for Bituminous Overlay on Riley Lake Road
STR 75-3-13
The attached petition has been submitted in request for a
bituminous overlay on Riley Lake Road from the railroad crossing
to approximately 400' north as shown on the attached location
drawing. The severe dust problem for residents in the neighborhood
is the principal reason for this paving request. The scope of the
project would probably include a 20' wide, 2" thick bituminous mat
over the existing gravel sub-grade.
It is recommended that the City Council receive this petition and
order preparation by the City Staff of a feasibility report.

SUBJECT: Consideration of purchase agreement for Blacklock
property at Anderson Lake Park
DATE: August 8, 1975
Pursuant to council action on July 8, 1975, we have secured an ap-
praisal of the Blacklock property at Anderson Lakes and reached
agreement with the Blacklocks for the City to acquire the property
at a purchase price of $35,000. 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.

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.
On Monday, August 4, 1975 the Commission heard the proposal by the fish
and Wildlife Service of the Department of Interior. After a lengthy discussion
the following actions were taken:
Moved Choinere, seconded Bennett to accept in concept
the idea of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Rec-
reation area based upon the following:
A. It is the right thing to do from a flood control standpoint.
B. It fills the Wildlife and Recreation principles set forth In
Senator Mondele's bill.
The motion carried 5 to Twith one abstention.
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. The motion carried 7-1-1.
EXCERPTS FROM EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD 9/24/74
Proir !seen & Garden, by Stanley Ricgert. 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. Motion carried unanimously. .
