Area G of The Preserve Commercial Plan, requesting concept plan and preliminary plat approval for office and commercial land uses. The site is located northwest of the new Ring Road and U. S. 169 intersection. A continued public hearing. The planner highlighted the staff report and stated the Area G proposal is consistent with the MCA Plan He added that services S the City staff supports the in/out access proposed, but does not support the large retail use contained in the plan. ymatelel decreer that all future development within Area G would be evaluated by the City as Methodist's rezoning request in Area F. Loren Galpin said The Preserve staff would like the revised Area G Plan approved as is and,if a lege retail use is considered,a specific plan for such a use would be submitted. Schee inquired what would be done regarding protection of the eastern • facing slope. The planner responded the staff suggests the use on that parcel be worked into the slope as well as possible. Meyers suggested; 1. staff review the cash in lieu of land dedication , 2. a written agreement should be secured between the landowners before final concept approval regarding recommendation # 4 in the staff report, and 3. the freestanding buildings sited along 169 should be more flexible to make use of shared .parking if...possible. • Lee Johnson said the feasibility study, presently underway and to be presented on August 12, would define the road location and assessment. • Sorensen inquired if The Preserve epvisloped the pedestrian crossing as an overpass. Lee Johnson replied that The Preserve does not. The planner suggested the location for a pedestrian connection could be indicated as in Area 1' and the corresponding assessment would be worked out. Motion: Boerger moved, Schee seconded, to recommend approval of Area G's concept plan and preliminary platting subject to recommendations 1 -3 on page 8 of the July 22, 1975 staff report, 41 4 as amended and add 556 4. That the Preserve work with Bermel/Teman to coordinate the connecting street and grading plans, defining construction - timing and method , financral commitmente aright-of-way • alignment dedication all of which shall be agreed to In writting prior to final plat approval. 5. Should the freestanding commercial along 169 not be used as Class 1 or II restaurants,*then said structures should be grouped. 6. That it is envisioned that an above grade pedestrian system will connect Area G with the adjacent Homart Community Commercial Area, at such time as land use and pedestrian demand are present, in keeping with established City policy without implying any specific financing method. The motion carried unanimously. * as defined in the July 22, /975 staff report cIpplOvUu 7:30 PM City Hall STAFF PRESENT: 9513 Pod. Proi.

The Major Center Report , on pages 81-85, discusses the land use potentials for Zones 5 and G In which Area G is located. The Plan states on page 82; "The 100 acre upland bordering old 169 and bounded on the west by the slope to the flood plainoffers a direct relation- ship with the Homart Regional Mall site. The scattered vegetation end rolling land character should provide for relatively easy commercial development. The Northern States Power casement, 165 feet wide, runs north/south through this area provides a site planning constraint combined with the location of the Ring Route. Restrictions on the Northern States Power easement will limit the construction of the major buildings within that easement and would allow parking and rend uses. This 100 acre area offers a groat deal of flexibility In its use of regional service, office and institutional , traneit station , and housing. " Staff Report-Area G of The Preserve Corn. Plan -2- July 22, 1975 The Plan recognized the need to plan detailed road, uttlfty and land use parcels with the landowners as development occurs. On page 82 the Plan states; ". • . . The area Is provided with an internal road system that may need revision to better serve The needs of a commercial center." The land uses, road pattern , and development timing is consistent with the Major Center Area Plan. B. Plan Elements 1. Land Use The land uses proposed on the 17.3 acre site for Area G are within the Major Center commercial, office , service categories and , community- commercial such as . the „proposed super market.

Plan -3- July 22, 1975 The Area G plan proposes a potential of 3 free standing restaurant sites along 169. At this time the type and specific size of the restaurants Is not known. The planning staff would suggest a rating system used by St. Louis Park in Ordinance No. 1258 which classifies restaurants by their function. The fullowing explains each of the restaurant classes Restaurant Class I: A sit-down restaurant with on-sale liquor, serving food to its customers while seated at tables. Personalized, printed menus are used and the food is served on multiple use utensils. There may be some take-out service but the food is not previously packaged. Restaurant Class II: A sit-down restaurant without on-sale liquor but otherwise providing the services of a Restaurant Class I. Restaurant Class III: A cafeteria which is a sit-down restaurant. Food is selected by the patron while going through a serving line. The patron takes his food to a table where it is eaten. Multiple use utensils are used. There may be some take-out service but the food is not previously packaged. Restaurant Class IV: A fast food or drive-in restaurant that does not permit eating outside on the premises. This restaurant specializes in foods prepared or nearly prepared in advance and which are sold directly to the patron at a counter and not served by a waiter. The food is often partially packaged before the order is taken. The food is essentially served packaged or served in single service materials (paper or plastic). The patron may have the option of eating inside the building or off the premises. Restaurant Class V: A fast-food or drive-in restaurant that allows eating outside on the premises. This restaurant provides the services of a restaurant Class IV but also includes eating outside of the building on the premises. n•n Staff Report-Area G of the Preserve Corn. Plan -4- July 22, 1975 • For the Area G site , based upon the Preserve Commercial Plan, and Objectives of the Major Center Plan, the 3 sites proposed for restauran t s would be for Class 1 & 2 freestanding restaurants, and the Class 3 & 4 restaurants, normally known as cafeterias and fast foods would be prohibited unless grouped in a unified building or site plan. Class 5 restaurants, the drive-in type, would be prohibited in the Area G plan. The Preserve Commercial Plan has established a site near Anderson Lakes and the Ring Route for the Class 3 and 4 clustered,specialty food restaurants . The intent of the Area G plan is to provide for freestanding family type Class 1 and 2 restaurants. The supermarket and shop uses would be a direct competition with the Homart Neighborhood Center proposed just east of 169/ Ring Route intersection. It is likely that if 1 of these centers is constructed the other may change its use. At this time the City has approved the Homart Neighborhood Center in concept, but no detailed development plans have been submitted. The Preserve's location for a super mark e y shopping center may be more marketable_ due to lower land cost for immediate development as it is detached from the regional mall site. Four sites are illustrated as office, institutional, or retail and border the Bennel property to the north. The combination of two of the sites together would be an option if a tenant desired a larger space. Flexibility of the transportation system and the natural features would permit such future modifications. C. Circulation The attached Jack Anderson Traffic Analysis provides detailed Informat i o n relative the to trip generation , turning movements, and circulation patt e r n s to the site. The internal road system has been negotiated between th e flannel, Temen, and Preserve landowttes and conforms with the engineering requirements developed by Howard Needles for the Ring Ro u t e . Also, the State Highway Department has approved the design for 169 and in - out access to 109/212. The Area G,site will be well served with ptiiic roads on 3 sides of the site and the • proposed 70 foot right-of-way running north/south under the NSP easement. To complem e n t this a F;y:th.!M of easements with private loads provide joint circulation between ihe sites and the public roads. Staff: Report-Area G of The Preserve Corn, Plan -5- July 22, 1975 Pedestrian and bike circulation systeMs are not as well defined and need further definition during the development stage planning. Connection to the Homart Center at the Ripo Poute / 169 intersection is advisable for bikes and pedestrians connecting north/south to the Bermel property. Likewise, a north/ south system connecting the freestanding uses along 169 to the north of the Homart entrance through the Bermel / Teman properties is recommended. At the north nomad • entrance a connection to the Homed pathway system linking to the future 3rd or 4th department store would be made along the earth berm, The City has placed heavy emphasis upon non-vehicular movement systems for internal site mobility as well as total Major Center connections with surrounding residential areas. D. Open Space The Area G Plan retains the tip of , the slope along the Ring Route which extends north through the Bermel/Teman /Kelly and Feeders properties. This area proposed in the Major Center Plan is to be retained as a natural wooded hill side Potential office, institutional, or retail use may be built adjacent to the hillside with a parking structure accommodating the grade change. The Park & Recreation Commission recommended that more of the hill be retained in the grading plan, much as the Gelco Office Building was built on the side of the hill to retain more of its natural character. The remainder of the site is developed in urban uses a roads, parking, building sites, and setback green space. The ability to create pleasant urban scale open space in conjunction with the building clusters and the pedestrian bikeways to the site will enhance the urban environment and will be consistent with the remainder of the Major Center development, E. Site Plan Elements 1. Grading._ The proposed grading plan will alter the existing site signficantly. The western hill will be cut 25-30 feet and the low area under the NSP easement would be filled 10-12 feet to permit building sites . Thin extensive grading is due the grade and alignment of the Ring Route which has a 20 foot cut through the hill and Staff Report-Area G of the Preserve Corn. Plan -6- July 22, 1975 fills the low area under the power easement. Also, the narrow hill adjacent to 169 offers little buildable area with a 20-30 foot slope.. The staff believes the grading required on this site , due to road alignment , land use location, and natural conditions is not typical of that expected throughout the Major Center Area. • ..-0.1 z, fi',.-:._____,_-_-,°_...J0 • _ -•.-..":--:.;•*'----'—'-,-;pr"--:---.--;,-,, T1 vir ,T,,,, i ui:‘:1 n ,‘,r,-,„,;:,,.;;,,,,.). ,.„ • wr 1 .,'.. .

Plan -7- July 22, 1975 2. Landscaping The level of landscaping illustrated on the plan is conceptual and depicts the use of the parking lot vegetation to define curb and barrier areas , and the plantings in the court yard and building areas. In addition to the landscaping •concept , parking lot trees similar to that used by Nomad should be incorporated in all development plans. Like- wise, earth berming screening and other landscaping techniques should be utili7.ed for buffering the parking areas from the major roadways. 3. Setback.,Sidcyard Requirements The setback, side yard requirements will be flexiblle to accommo- date the planned land use package: thib'ivill enable joint use of drive- ways, parking areas, and stting of buildings in relation to public streets to 'achieve the desired effect from the public aril private developers standpoints. The function of -setback-s •relative to the public objectives and that of the private owner shall be used as a determinant of actual .distance , instead Df a required distance. 4. Parking_ The parking ratios for individual uses will be calculated from the best available information that the City and private developer a can put together at the time of development approval . Joint use of parking If it can be proven that adequate space will be available for those using the common parking facility will be permitted. No parking will be permitted on public streets or driveways serving mere than 1 property. The parking required may be underground, ramp , or at-grade parking. 5. :Urban Design Review of the development proposals will take into account structural design, site amenities, site relationships to other-cues , and detailed urban design elements such as; walkways, lighting, land- scaping& pedestrian facilities that affect the overall success of the Major Center environment and the use proposed. 911 • Staff Report-Area G of The Preserve Corn.

Area G of The Preserve Commercial Plan, requesting concept plan and preliminary plat approval for commercial and office uses. The site Is located northwest of the 169/Ring Road intersection. A continued public hearing. Loren Calpin reviewed Area G's location, road access, soil- conditions and possible 8 parcels. He stated that the road system has been worked out with Mr. Eermel" who owns the property to the north of the site. Expected uses within Area G were cited as; institution, bank, office, shops, and restaurants. The planner inquired about the large retail facility that was part of the initial plan. Galpin replied that a large retail facility is still an alternative u .se . The planner felt the City may desire to divert large retail establishments away from the MCA periphery and that it would be addressed in the staff report. Motion: Schee moved, Boerger seconded, to continue the public hearing to the July 28th meeting end to direct the staff to submit a report at that time. The motion carried unanimously. I napproved Minutes - Park & Rec. Page Six Commission Bay 5, 1975 C. Heveloement F .rosal Review 1. Preserve Plat Two (Cont/d) Choiniere asked about water treatment, "salt and chloride" specifically. Gelpin answered that the Nine Pile Watershed District dictates bow this is to be handled. They would meet the standard presently set, and work with Barr Engineering and the Watershed District to insure clean water in Anderson Lake. Choiniere questioned the bikeway/hikeway paths. Gilpin said the inten- sity of the development determines When there is a need for the paths. Jensen referred to the Staff Report recommendation of BMY 5, 1975 concerning the trails. Choiniere asked what type of barrier they were considering as an ade- quate wildlife barrier. Galpin answered that it would be a combination of earth forms with thorny plantings. Be added that a small fence behind the planting would keep the domestic animals out and would not be visible. Be emphasized that they vented to make the barrier as natural is possible. NOTION Choiniere moved to accept the Recommendation as outlined in Staff Report . of Nay 5, 1975 for Plat Two, areas B,C, and D. Helmer seconded and the motion carried unanimously. 2. rreserve Area G Galpin presented Preserve Area 0 to the Commission commenting that Sill would be needed for any type of development in the future. He said the oak trees on the site would be preserved. Jensen suggested that the Commission review it with our only concern being the minimizing of grading and consideration of bike trails. NOTION Helmer moved to approve recommendation of Staff Report of May 5, 1975, regarding grading and bike trails. Choiniere seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

The following excerpt is from the MCA Report developed by a citizen's task force in 197 3 , f r o m t h e E n v i r o n m e n t a l S e c t i o n regarding the land in which Area is loc a t e d . ZONE 5 & 6 Zones 5 and 6 are grouped together in consideration of the natural characieristics due to their geographical proximity in one sector of the freevvay interchange. SOILS AND LAND FORMS The land forms of Zones 5 and 6 may be identified i n three distinct areas. They are: the upland plateau, th e steep slope to the west of the plateau of approximate l y 50-60 feet in height, and the low flood plain Wei: of Purgatory Creek to the west. The plateau area, cut o f f in three directions by freeways or flood plain, is fla t t o gently rolling terrain with well-defined drainnne areas . Approximately half of the upland area has loam soils o f 0-6% slopes which are well suited for urban develop - ment. The remaining 50% of the upland area is of loam soils of 6-12% slopes and pockets of drained organi c soils and wet mineral soils. Around these pockets o f lowland soil exist hands of erCKilie send of 6-18% slope flood plain. The mid and nor t h s e c t i o n s o f t h e s l o p e which present sneCial considerations for development, have three distinct drainage swales -which have been cut from the highland to the low flood plain area. Develop- ment upon the northern slopes would be extremely difficult due to the 20-40 percent slopes and the he a v y vegetation. The southerly slope is more gradual wi t h 5-15 degree slopes with limited vegetative cover. Sp e c i a l development types suites to hillside locations wou l d b e required in the southerly area. — •-. 70;47:5 bwicand Werriain ....

The norther ly slop e i s extremely steep with grades of 20-40 percent slope. The soils in this area are lOarlis of 18-35 percent slo p e s . The mid and souther ly end of ihe -slope are gentler degrees of slope with learns of 8-20 percent slope dom- inating. The entire westerly slope is dominated by t h e steep heavily wooded character to the north, and to t h e south near 169 the more gradual sloping area to th e —41 17q Ti Staff Report-AreaReport-Area G -2- May 5, 1975 The main contradiction between the goals of the MCA Report and the proposal of Area G seems to be the degree to which the proposed buildings will fit the site. As shown in the MCA Report, the steep wooded slopes and the vegetation tip which protrudes into this area were shown to be significant " special development types suitable to hill side locations will be required in the southerly area.

Di rtei In looking at the cross sections for The Preserve's concept and the footnotes regarding grading, it does seem that a considerable amount of grading is being done to the hill to develop buildable pads. Although, the Preserve is taking off the back , or the east side of the slope, and preserving the western side of the slope ( the heavy vegetated cover ), one cannot help thinking that the result might be the same as the Warner's Home Care Center at the intersection of Highway 7 and 41 in Excelsior. Since a goal listed in the MCA for this area is, a building type which would be more adaptable to the slopes , it seems this concept was studied and discarded. The only other concern a -priicable to the Park & Recreation Commission would be the provision of trails in the area. In looking at the uses proposed it does appear that this entire sector, Area G, is serviced oriented with a number of restaurants utilizing the area. Therefore, pedestrian or bike use within this area generated between uses in this area would seem to be s.sail. However, some type of pedestrian and bike draw . will probably be exhibited from the shopping center and the surrounding land uses. Therefore, pedestrian and bike access to this area should bo insured at the intefsections of the Ring Route and 169 and the northern access with 169/212. Recommendations Recommend that the Park & Recreation Commission recommend to the Planning Commission and City Council approval of this project contingent upon adequate modification and dip/ay by Development Concepts and The Preserve that building types for the eastern facing steep slopes will be more adaptable to the slope rahter than merely creating flat building pads. CE/jme 9%9 approved Planning Commission Minutes -8- April 28, 1975 B. Parkview Apartments, request by Eden Land for PUD Development Stage Approval, and rezoning to RM 2.5 in accord with the Mitchell Heights PUD Concept Approval. Mr. Peterson informed the commission that the proposal is located in the Mitchell Heights PUD and had been owned by Shelter Corporation. Shelter sold the front 14 acres to Magnum Land Corporation and the remainder to Eden Land. He said his proposal is for2 story patio apartments at 9.2 units/acre and detached gara g es. Mr. Lyle Landstrom, architect for the project briefed the commission on the land's rolling topography, utilities, the northeastern drainage to the low area, & the project's 4 phases. The first phase is for 120 units, the second phase will be 144 units ,the third phase ( to be completed by 1979 ) , would have 152 units andthe ,project fourth phase is a proposed convenience center. Mr. Landstrom said the project would have 2.3 parking stalls / unit. Mr. Peterson said they have investigated alternate uses as the planner suggested, but due to the parking and assessments they are not economically feasible. Meyers felt cash in lieu of dedication should be considered since the project had only 3 outdoor courts for 900 projected residents. Sorensen referred the request to the staff , Park & Recreation and Human Rights Commission for recommendations. fi PUBLIC HEARINGS. C. Area G of The Preserve Commercial Plan, requesting PUD Concept Approval for retail, financial/office, restaurant and office uses and preliminary platting of Area G . Area G is located north of the Ring Road and 169/212 intersection. Mr. Loren Galpin presented the 18 acre proposal. He cited the 2 major features as the hill on the west and the drainage to Neill ' Lake. Galpin stated that no building can occur under the power lines and some of the soils in the area are not buildable because there is 18-20 feet of peat. He said they are asking for a grading permit so the fill can properly settle before building begins. 1..

The purpose of the additional access prov i s i o n s i s t o provide better traffic circulation for sp e c i f i c s i t e s within the Area G development. The basic layout and T.H. 169 traffic cou n t s w e r e o b t a i n e d from the Minnesota Highway Department pre l i m i n a r y s t u d y recieved from the MHO District 5 office o n 4 / 9 7 5 . F i n a l design plans for this project are not yet a v a i l a b l e f o r distribution. Operational speed on T.H. 169 was assumed to be 45 miles per hour. In addition to the MHD 1975 traffic volumes, t r i p g e n e r a t i o n from the preserve Area G was developed. Ta b l e A i n d i c a t e s the trip generation from individual sites w i t h i n A r e a G . Trips generated within Area G were assigne d t o t h e p r o p o s e d access points on the basis of an assumed d i r e c t i o n o f a p p - roach based on the current market distribu t i o n ( F i g . 2 ) . The current market shows a strong bias tow a r d 1 - 4 9 4 , r e s - ulting in a very heavy left turn movement a t E d e n R o a d . However, this is predicated on full devel o p m e n t o f A r e a G in the 1975 forecast year. Also, market d i s t r i b u t i o n s h i f t s in subsequent years are to be anticipated , s o t h e d e m a n d for this left turn may be substantially o v e r s t a t e d . Thus, the traffic analysis is biased toward a w o r s t c o n d i t i o n t h a t is not likely to develop. The traffic analysis indicates none-the-l e s s t h a t t h e p r o - posed additional IN-OUT accesses can be a c c o m o d a t e d w i t h o u t adversely affecting traffic operations in t h e a r e a . .(612)426-5777• 973 1 - 2 - STUDY PERIOD Trip generation and analysis of traffic operations was made for the PM peak hour period, consistent with the data provided on the MHO layout. The PM peak hour period is considered to be critical, and other hours of the day would experience lower traffic volumes. Traffic signals were assumed at the Ring Road, Eden Road, and 78th Street. EDEN ROAD INTERSECTION Due to the heavy market bias toward 1-494, the analysis indicated that capability for two-lane left turn operation should be designed into the traffic signal to accommodate traffic leaving the Preserve development. This recommend- ation does not take into account additional traffic that will be generated from development on the north side of Eden Road. However, probable development staging and future 'market shifts may obviate this need. Geometric revisions do not appear to be warranted. PROPOSED IN-OUT ACCESS ON T.H. 169 At the proposed IN-OUT access location, 625 feet north of the Ring Road intersection, the demand for right turning movement is light. Again,as the market distribution shifts this demand would tend to increase somewhat. The question is, "What effect will these right turning volumes have on traffic operations between the OUT ramp and the Ring Road?". The answer lies in the analysis of traffic signal phasing at the Eden Road intersection, and the gaps in traffic created by the signal operation. The analysis indicates that 42% of the signal time would be allocated to movements that would preclude traffic from proceeding south on T.H. 169. Thus, some 400 to 500 vehicles per hour could enter south- bound P.M. 159 without conflict during this period. Since the forecast demand is only 56 vehicles (See Fig.1) it is concluded that no appreciable effect can be antici- pated. YIELD or STOP control is recommended, however, because the access demand would reflect random arrivals while the traffic signal at Eden Road would produce queued traffic without safe gaps. YIELD or STOP control would insure that enter- ing traffic would wait for the signal gaps. The OUT demand contains some vehicles that desire to turn left at the Ring Road. This traffic must cross two lanes to reach the left turn lane. There is then the question of adequate distance to accomplish this maneuver. It is noted that the left turn lane is 500 feet loeg, and that left turn demand is low, such that the maximum number of vehicles likely to be stored in the turn lane would not occupy more than 150 feet of the turn lane. This would leave more than 300 feet of distance to accomplish the maneuver. With little or no interference from through - 3 - traffic this would not be a form i d a b l e t a s k . H o w e v e r , in that traffic forecasts are no t o r i o u s l y i n a c c u r a t e , i t is appropriate to look at availa b l e a l t e r n a t i v e s s h o u l d problems occur. Specifically, alternates for the 3 4 vehicle component of the OUT mov e m e n t s h o u l d b e c o n s i d e r e d . In the event that this 34 vehicl e c o m p o n e n t w o u l d g r o w to problem proportions it would b e a p p r o p r i a t e t o t o prohibit this movement because al t e r n a t e r o u t e s a r e a v a i l - able. Eitler the Eden Road inter s e c t i o n c o u l d b e u s e d (at some expense to the already c o n g e s t e d c o n d i t i o n s t h e r e ) , or the Ring Road access could be u s e d . It is emphasized that these alternatives are avail a b l e u n d e r a h y p o t h e t i c a l situation that does not appear to b e e v e n r e m o t e l y j u s t i f i e d .

In the event that traffic forecasts are grossl y i n e r r o r , options are available to remedy a n y o p e r a t i o n a l p r o b l e m s that may arise due to the presen c e o f t h e p r o p o s e d I N - O U T access facility on T.H. 169.

April 7, 1975 Mr. Richard Putnam, Planner City of Eden Prairie 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343 Re: Preserve Commercial Center - Plat 3 Dear Mr. Putnam The engineering advisors for the Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District have reviewed the plans for the Preserve Commercial Center - Plat 3 as sub- mitted to the Watershed District by the City of Eden Prairie. The following Watershed District policies and criteria are applicable to this development. 1. A grading and land alteration permit application for Plat 3 and Plat 4 have been submitted to the WatIrshed District. A sediment control plan must be submitted showing how erosion and sediment will be controlled. A portion of the site is tributary to the Neill Lake storm sewer system. The sediment control facilities on the Neill Lake system could potentially be used to control erosion from this portion of the development if provisions are made to maintain the appropriate settling basins along the Neill Lake system. The remaining portion of the development is tributary to the Purgatory Creek major center area flood plain. Thin portion of the project site includes a steep hill which will be particu- larly sensitive to the impacts of land alteration. Due to the size of the development and the sensitivity of many portions of the development to erosion, it may be necessary to only alter a portion of the development at one time. 2. Under 10-year frequency runoff conditions, the energy grade line for the storm sewer system at the junction of the 72" RCP and 48" RCP is approximately at Elevation 843. Provisions must be made to either store excess runoff from the Plat 3 area without damage to the developed portions Of the project or to pass the project runoff downotream. The 100-year frequency runoff event should be evaluated in terms of damage potential. ifyou have any questions about the Watershed District's comments on this project, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Engineer for the Diatrict AG/au cc: All Managers Mr. Vrederiek Richards Mr. William Wiedenbacher gat approved Planning Commission Minutes July 28, 1975 D. Eden Prairie Family Recreational Center, by Eden Development, Inc., requesting rezoning from 1-2 Park to Community Commercial for a 21 acre site north of T.H. 5 and east of Edenvale Boulevard. The planner stated the Eden Development Incorporated's request is foracommunity shopping type use and should be located in a geographical area of the City as illustrated on the 1968 Guide Plan. The planner further stated the proposal is inconsis- tent with the Edenvale KID and the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan. Sorensen requested the staff submit information on traffic counts for Industrial vs. Community Commercial at the proposed recreational center site. Mr. Peterson said it would be possible to meet the recommendations withinthe staff report regarding construction if the proposal is approved on the requested site. Peterson stated that a strong market exists for recreational uses and traffic flow during peak hours would be less for the recreational center than if the property were developed under Industrial. Mr. Peterson felt the property in the MCA is not ready for development at this time because of the unavailability of roads and utilities. Meyers inquired which specialty foods are being considered;and suggeeted some restaurant uses could better utilize the view of the open space than a bowling alley. Peterson replied restaurants such as; McDonalds,Poppin Fresh, pizza shops,an icecream shop, etc., are being considered. Sorensen asked if the specialty foods uses could be clustered. Peterson said it could be attempted. Lynch asked what the watershed district's response is todate. Peterson replied that he has meet with the watershed district representatives and it will be considered at the watershed district's next meeting. Boerger asked if a zoning category other than Community Commercial is possible. The planner said the proposal could also request Regional Service zoning. Feerick suggested the bowling alley use be separated from the other family recreational uses because of the possible liquor license. Peterson felt such a redesign would be possible. Meyers asked what became of Edenvalets petition for the extension of Valley View to the Ring Route. Peterson replied that they would like to see Valley View extended and assessed back to the benefitting property owners, but such a decision must wait until the court appeal Is handled. 912- Feerick questioned the viability of the MCA under the present circumstances. He believed the concept is good if it can be made to work.. Meyers felt the MCA Concept is not yet completi7 tested, and granting of regional uses outside of the MCA would mean the City would compromise it:planning prin ciples. The planner also felt the MCA Concept is viable and development is occurring in the MCA. Eden Prairie Family Recreational Center, Cont. Motion: Schee moved, Lynch seconded, to recommend to the City COuncil denial of the rezoning request from 1-2 Park to Community Commercial for the Eden Prairie Family Recreational Center by Eden Development, Inc., for the following reasons ; I. The proposed land uses at the corner of T.H. 5 and Mitchell Road are not consistent with the Comprehen- sive Guide Plan for the City of Eden Prairie. 2. That the rezoning request from 1-2 Park to Community Commercial is inconsistent with the Edenvale Planned Unit Development. 3. ' That Eden Development, Inc., consider comparable sites located within the Eden Prairie Major Center Area along the new extension of Valley View Road adjacent to the Ring Route with access to Highway 5. 4. That the proposal is actually for Regional Service use, rather than Community Commercial. The motion carried 5:2 with Boerger and Feerick voting nay. 9E6 CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE CHECK LIST FOR REVIEWING PROPOSED LAND numommrs DATE: July 22, 1975 DEVEL0314ENT: Edenva le Recreational. _center L. 0.

The Edenvale PLID was updated in 1973 with the subject property remaining Industrial . The Eden Prairie Family Recreation Center proposal is similar to the Eden PI c.•.ea Shopping Center in that it is being proposed by a developer, Eden Development Incorporated closely associated with Eden Land Corporation,with the final building , design, and coristruction being accomplished by another builder or owner. Conformance with Guide Plan and PUD The proposed rezoning to C- Corn should fit the purposes outlined in Subdivision 7.1.1, Ordinance 135 , "A. To provide appropriately located areas for retail stores, offices, and persone.1 service establishments patronized primarily by residents of the Immediate area. B. To permit development of community shopping centers of the size and in the appropriate locations shown on the Guide Plan, according to standards that minimize adverse impact on adjoining residential uses. " The Community Commercial category was intended for develoPment of community shopping centers serving geographical portions of the City . The 1968 Guide Plan identifies the commercial development concept for the City. On page 6 of the Plan Elements Section, Ii states; The Village should be divided Into several "communities" by establiehing"activity centers around schools ,parks, and commercial developments which are identifiable focal points for community life and activity. Tzr Planning Staff Report-E.P.Family Rec. Center -2- July 21, 1975 There should be one concentrated regional sized commercial center within the Village and convenient community shopping facilities throughout the Village The Guide Plan on page 12 of the Plan Elements Section describes community shopping centers; "Cl proposes community shopping and service centers for Eden Prairie residents primarily those who will live around each community center. Each of these centers would serve an ultimate population of about 15,000 and would include the typical array of community shopping and businesses , offices, limited highway service uses , and some specialty stores would be peimitted. " To complement the community shopping service centers the Comprehensive Plan envisioned a regional or major center located at 994 and 212 inter- change. The Comprehensive Plan states; "C2 designates the primary regional retail development within the Village . . . The C3 area is proposed to be a limited regional commercial area in which the primary business is service oriented. Here is where a bank or savings or loans building could be located when it is desired to have a detached site. Here also would be found the automobile dealers because of the service orienta- tion, but also because of the large area requirement. Movie theatres, athletic clubs, office buildings, hospital, restaur- ants, and other such service rather than retail uses are sug- gested The Comprehensive Plan recognizing that it marked a dramatic change from the previous Ordinance 8 zoning and planning philosophy states; in the Summary of Findings, page 2 -14 ; The 1958 Zoning obviottsly followed a " railroad ee Industry ; highway = commercial " philosophy . The Guide Plan stresses in the Goals and Objectives Section`, page 13; "Controlled growth by every means available, but largely through limitations on commercial and industrial develop- ment and low density residential cng Planning Staff Report-E.P. Family Rec. Center -3- July 21, 1975 The Planning staff's review of the Eden Prairie Family Recreation Center proposal , including its requested rezoning , its proposed location, and its anticipated uses, indicates a regional scale or community wide trade area for the facilities anticipated . This is emphasized bythe site's proposed location on the primary east/west arterial through the community - Highway 5. payiew of the Comprehensive Plan , Zoning Ordinance, and Major 1Center Report leads the planning staff to recommend that such facilitie be located in the Major Center Area within the C3 Regional Service zoning district. The land uses proposed in the Eden Development Inc., proposal are clearly stated in the Compre .- hensive Plan and the Major Center Plan to be those associated with the 1,000 acre MCA development serving wtdor trade areas than just local neighborhoods. The proposed rezoning to C-Corn in the location along Highway 5 is not consistent with Eden Prairie's Zoning Ordinance for Community Commercial uses , nor is it consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. PROCT ANALYSTS The concept of clustered recreational and service uses is a good concept,well suited for development in the Eden Prairie Major Center Area, just es Hornart is a cluster of retail commercial service and entertainment uses. The proposed cluster of recreational and service uses is a compatible and well conceived development. Eden Prairie and the trade area for the MCA would be well served by such a development. The general site layout of the Eden Prairie Family Recreation Center is basioelly sound and meets most specific site development requirements. Consideration of these aspects of the development plan would merit further consideration if the site is to be located at the proposed location or elsewhere in Edenvale. 1. Better connection of the proposed land uses to pedestrian systems for Edenvele and surrounding residential areas. • 2. Construction of a siltation pond and storm water system at the development of the first phase . 3. Screening of the perimeter parking should be given strong consideration. 4. Signage program should be developed permitting Individual uses' identification within a unified format. 5. Evaluate geometries of perimeter road systems within the site to allow easy turning movements. 940 Planning Staff Report- L.P. Family Rec. Center -4- July 21, 1975 BSCOMNIENDATIONS 1.

Peterson Carl Jullie All Managers Allan Gebhard MEMO TO:' Planning Commission FROM: Dick Putnam, PlanningDirector DATE: July 3, 1975 SUBJECT: Eden Prairie Family Recreation Center Rezoning APPLICANT: Eden Development Inc. LOCATION: A 21 acre parcel at the northeast corner of Mithc e l l R o a d andT.H. 5. REQUEST: Rezoning from 1-2 Park to C-Com. and approval o f Development Plan. This memo will identify questions concerning the E d e n P r a i r i e R e c r e a t i o n a l Center application . The memo is not a staff r e p o r t , r a t h e r a • preliminary discussion of the issues affecting the project. The issues : 1. The land is currently zoned I7 .2 Park and was approved in the origindlEdenvale Planned Unit Developme n t f o r high quality industrial development. The conce p t p l a n for Edenvale was revised in 1973 and reaffirmed a s a n Industrial park. West of Mitchell Road, Edenv a l e Industrial Park is developing with industrial o f f i c e , warehouse, and distribution facilities. 2. Eden Development Inc., request is to rezone from 1-2 Park to Community Commercial. Ordinance 1 3 5 , Section 7 describes the purposes of commercia l districts and special purposes of C-Cora. Dist r i c t s . to be ; " a. to provide appropriately located areas for retail stores, offices, and personal service establishments patronized pri- marily by residents in the immediate area. b. to permit development of community shoppi n g centers of the size and appropriate locations _shown on the Guide Plan according to standards that minimize adverse impacts on adjoining residential uses. " The uses proposed of specialty foods, family 're s t a u r a n t , c i n e m a , b o w l i n g alley, rolling skating rink, and athletic health c l u b , r a i s e a l a g t i m a t e question as to the conformance of the uses with t h e p u r p o s e s o f c o m m u n i t y commercial . 9 95' Memo-Eden Prairie Family Recreational Center -2- July 3, 1975 The types of uses proposed may better be described as re3lonal service use's described in Ordinance No. 135 as; "b. to provide sites for businesses that typically are not found in shopping centers that usually have relatively large sites providing off-street parking and that attract little or no pedestrian traffic." The Zoning Ordinance attempts to distinguish between local convenient community service needs & those of a larger scope which may be regional or community scale in nature. The Comprehensive Plan addresses itself to the purposes of commercial uses and the types of districts established . The Plan states ; " C-2 designates the primary regional retail development within the Village. We believe that the Metro Council planners will agree that the area around the 494/ 169/ 212 interchange is a logical location for a regional center. Improvement of access through construction of a loop road system and half interchanges in all directions Is a schematic solution to a complex problem "The C-3 area is proposed to be a limited regional commercial area in which the primary business is service oriented . Here is where the bank or saving & loan building could be located when it is desired to have a detached site. Here also would be found the automotive dealer , because of the service , orientation, and also because of the large area requirement. Movie theatres, athletiC - clubs, office buildings, hospitals, restaurants , and .other such services rather than retail uses are suggested. " Memo-Eden Prairie Family Recreation Center -3- July ;3, 1975 The MCA area has been further refined through the Major Center Area Report and its adoption as an amendment to the Guide Plan . The report more fully details the attempts for the regional diversified centers. The MCA Report on pages 73-77 discusses types of uses which might be anticipated, the Report states; "Eden Prairie's MCA will provide the exclusive location for those uses requiring accessibility, intensity , and interrelationships associated with regional diversifed centers. The high capacity requirements for these uses such as transportation'. communication, utilities, and land use intensity will be offered exclusively within the MCA thereby confining these regional uses in an identifiable econanlcally served area." This statement is a further definition of the intent of the 1968 Guide Plan which states ; "There should be 1 concentrated regional sized commercial center in the Village and convenient shopping facilities throughout the Village . " s, The planning staff recognizing changes in circumstances may dictate changes in plans, believes that the request for the Eden Prairie Recreational Center may require a substantial change: in policy relating to the exclusive location for major uses in the City. This may be appropriate as stated inthe MCA Plan; "The Comprehensive Plans are produced from conditions and attitudes which are constantly changing. Plans need to be constantly reviewed to see that they respond well to the charges as they did with the original set of circumstances." DPiJrae MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: THROUGH: REGARDING: DATE: Mayor and City Council Marty Jessen, Director of Community Services/tit Roger K. Ulstad, City Manager Eden Prairie Stable -- Building Demolition August 28, 1975 When the City Council approved the Lease Contract for Eden Prairie Stables on 5/27/75, authorization was received to solicit sealed bids for purchase and removal of the three "old" barn buildings. It was hoped that a lumber yard or someone needing old barn wood would take down the buildingsfor the lumber salvage. The lumber apparently is in too poor a condition to be used for this purpose, because no bids were received. This being the case, we have explored other alternatives to demolition, including : . A wrecking contractor. 2. Doing it with our maintenance crew. 3. Burning the big building down. A summary of the options follows: . Saves all trees and other site assets. Rough grading to match surrounding grades would be included. Three quotes have been solicited -- Low quote is $3,400. • 2. Saves trees and other site assets. Ray Earls says it would be very difficult to do with the machinery we have. Knocking apart the slab in the big barn above the basement level would be nearly impossible for our men because we lack equipment needed. Many manhours and equipment hours would be required, thus detracting from other scheduled maintenance programs. Tti: mayor and City Council August 28, 1975 FROM: Marty Jessen, Director of Community Services 3. Would kill a number of trees up around the buildings -- the trees have really grown around to "frame" the barns. Cost (cash) would be lower but would still require cleanup work and knocking apart the slab above the basement level. Chances are that the fire would damage the metal reinforcement in the slab,making immediate removal mandatory. I recommend Alternative 1 for the reasons given above. In addition to the cost for the contractor as shown in Chart 1, a revised electrical service should be installed. New underground service to the house and tie stall barn has been quoted by 3 contractors as shown in Chart 2.

THROUGH:Roger Ulstad, City Manager RE: Round Lake Picnic Pavilion - Change Order #2 and Request for Payment DATE: August 28, 1975 Attached is a copy of the Application and Certificate for Payment for the Round Lake Picnic Pavilion. The total is for $14,600 with this payment for 90% or $13,140. The Architect recommends payment as the structure is now substantially complete. The additional $150.00 is for asbestos paper under the wood shingles. When this option was selected, the Architect anticipated no paper (asbestos or felt), thus no add-on was identified. However, the building Inspectors have required this addition to provide fire separation from the flammable wood support structure to the flammable wood shingles.
