PUBLIC HEARING ON FLYING CLOUD AIRPORT'S MASTER PLAN Councilman Penzel opened the Public Hearing and introduced Mr. Tom O'Brien, a consultant to the MAC, who explained the plans for Flying Cloud Airport. Mr. O'Brien stated the P'AC is planning to upgrade Flying Cloud from a utility airport to a transport airport, however, this did not mean large aircraft would be using this field. The plans are to expand Flying Cloud, but still keep it in this general category. He stated the MAC wanted to get citizen imput and this was the reason for the public hearing. O'Brien stated they would extend two of the run-ways under Alternative A-1, the East-West run-way would be extended from 3200 to 4100 feet and the North-South run-way from 2700-3100 feet. He briefly explained the various alternatives and stated that A-1 had received a lot of favorable comment. He said the business- men favored Alternative B-1, but expressed an interest in A-1. O'Brien stated the MC has not made a decision as yet and they want the opinions of businessmen, citizens, Council members and Planning Commission members. Dr. David Breslau, a consultant to the MAC, explained the over- view of existing facilities with regard to: (1) Topogra hy, ' (2) Soil, (3) Geology, (4) Vegetation, (5) Wildlife, (6) Water Resources and (7) Air Resources and also the impact by Airport e ansion with regard to: (1) Soils and Geology, (2) Vegetation, • (3) Water Quality, (4) Wildlife, and (5) Air Quality. He stated they recommended Alternative A-1 as the best alternative. Mr. Robert Einsweiler, Planning Consultant, explained noise factor. He said this is a very quiet environment and you will notice the increase in noise much more readily. Also, he explained noise is measured differently by various agencies. The State looks at noisiest hour, they look at average annual noise, and people tend to look at noisiest aircraft. The State and Federal government are concerned about noise when it reaches a level where it will affect health. Most standards affecting noise are anchored in issue of health. The transport airport 1Jl Minutes -2- September 11, 1975 I. PUBLIC HARING ON FLYING CLOUD... (Cont'd.) would generate more noise than is presently being generated. He explained some new jets are quieter than some of the two- engine planes. Mr. Einsweiler said the FAA operates the towers and navigational aids, the pilot has considerable freedom, MAC has some responsibility and authority, but no single control, the Metro Council has some control, City has authority to control Land use - the mosaic has to fit together and it takes team operation on what the operational procedures should be. Mr. Claude Schmidt, MAC, explained any schemes involving jets would not be totally acceptable to the people of Eden Prairie. He stated they want to improve some things at Flying Cloud for the safety of both Eden Prairie and the people flying over Eden Prairie. He stated they don't set policy, but merely make recommendations and they are recommending Alternative A-1. They need imput from City Council and would like their wishes expressed to them. He said if the l',1aster Plan is approved, it will go through an orderly process of development. They hope to make one of the East-west Run-ways primary. He said all.night-time operations would be on south run-way and extending the run-way to 4100 feet would bring in jets, but didn't envision a deluge of jets. Mrs. Norma Shee, Planning & Zoning Commission, stated she didn't understand the book she read and is not an expert on this matter. She said she did not understand sound monitoring. She then presented the 7-point recommendation made by the Planning Commission at their August 25, 1975 meeting. Councilman Bye stated he lives about as far away from Flying Cloud as you can in Eden Prairie and will speak as a Council member, not as a person with a vested interest. He said he was interested in plans that provide alternatives where one has to accept one of the alternatives. There are a couple of other alternatives - one is Plan 0, stay just as it is and another is Plan Minus - that airport is less needed due to less needed aircraft in area. Question need for airport expansion. lie stated his concerns about potential devalua- tion of property and loss of tax revenue. Eden Prairie is a fast-gro-in:; area in population. lthat benefits accrue to Eden Prairie and its'residents compared to the disturbance, noise, dancer, loss of tax revenue and devaluation of property?• Frankly, think it is over-balanced in disfavor of Eden Prairie. Council members euestionediessrs. Schmidt, Breslau and Einsweiler regarding plans for territorial expansion, level of navigational Minutes -3- September 11, 1975 I. PUBLIC HEARING ON FLYING CLOUD...(Cont'd.) aids, why second generation jets are becoming quieter, whether drainage would put an undue load on present system and to what extent City Comprehensive Guide Plan was considered. Councilman Bye questioned Mr. Schmidt regarding what would happen if nothing was done. Schmidt replied they are trying to update �— the Master Plan which will make the airport safer and do not think there will be any great increase in traffic and the Master Plan does call for expansion. He further explained jets prefer a run way of at least 5000 feet. Mr. Stephen Magnell, 9491 Woodridge Drive, presented a petition signed by about 1200 residents in opposition to expansion at Flying Cloud Airport. He stated they opposed noise pollution and did not think there would be any economical benefit to Eden Prairie by this expansion. He said Councilman Bye presented a position they would feel comfortable with. Mr. Robert Gartner, 15701 Cedar Ridge Road, stated his concern about being able to identify low flying planes so they could be reported. O'Brien explained the planes are numbered on the side and also to take down time of day and location when reporting a low flying aircraft. Isr. Wallace Busted, 10525 Bluff Road, expressed his concern over planes flying in a helter-skelter pattern instead of a rectangular flight pattern. Schmidt explained they still do use the retaniular pattern and that they hope to develop some • rules to control this type of flying. Mr. Al Lange, Flying Cloud Airport, asked '{:What is value of airport? The value must•be $50,00O in property taxes. Some value in over 200 people being employed there. Some value in baseball diamonds provided to City. Some value in open space. There are 14 businesses located there. Value in school organizations that solicit several times a year for contributions. Value in reverse - there are no children generated by airport. Businessmen have worked with the MAC and fire -chief in trying to obtain a fire station on Flying Cloud Airport. Safety - Hwy. 494 is safer than Hwy. 169." He further stated he felt the expansion would benefit Eden Prairie and that politics is a matter of compromise, etc. I!r. Dave Rolahaw, Devar, stated he is user of airport and owner of business. He said the asset value of the airport is that it is a drawing card for the community, etc. Mr. John Stuber, American Aviation, Flying Cloud Field, stated he put first airplane on Flying Cloud Field and has been here iris" Minutes -4- September 11, 1975 I. PUBLIC HEARING ON FLYING CLOUD...(Cont'd.) a long time. He said not to blame all low-flying aircraft on Flying Cloud field as they come from other fields too and he is all for identifying the low-flying aircraft and trying to control them. Mr. Harold Schaitberger, 12880 Pioneer Trail, questioned the safety of the planned lengthening of the run-way as it will bring it closer to Hwy. 169. He said he has a business on that highway and has watched planes come in so low over it that if a semi-truck were coming along, there would have been an accident. Schmidt explained the lengthening of that run-way was only a concept and would have to go through an obstruction study. Mr. Greg Perrington, St. Louis Park, asked when the corner of Hwy. 169 and Flying Cloud Drive will be improved. Councilman Penzel explained it is being considered. Mr. James Brown, 11551 Riverview Rd., stated he has seen a lot of things come and go. What we have missed is that what is good for General Bullmoose is good for the people concept is gone. The people have taken over. They don't have to live with noise that someone says they have to live with. Concerned with people. 'that is value of airport - has a variety of values. Effect it has on people, etc. Mr. Don Sumner, 13720 Theresa Place, stated he was not home when the petition was brought by and is impressed by 1200 names, but appalled at the scare tactics used. He said he did not think people were informed or understood and that there are instances of closing an airport where property values fell, etc. Mr. -James Boyce, 14350 Pioneer Trail, explained the drainage problem that was on Flying Cloud Field a few years ago and how he was instrumental in getting it corrected, but it was not with the cooperation of the MAC, etc. • Mr. Greg Myers, Creekwood Drive, the presentation by the experts is vague and there is panic by people who do not understand situation. This is not acceptable - strongly urge specific answers are obtained before a plan is accepted. Confusion caused by talking about noise safety - noise is caused by take-offs. Strongly suggest we see some regulations on flying procedures, etc. 11r. Martin Grill, 13600 Pioneer Trail, stated he has been an eye witness to planes so low that one took thetnp off a semi. He lives close to airport and does not mind noise, but does report low-flying aircraft and the tower has been cooperative in controlling this. Councilman Bye responded to comments caused by his statement and explained his position. lllh Minutes -5- September 11, 1975 • I. PUBLIC HEARING ON FLYING CLOUD...(Coat'd.) City Manager Ulstad asked Mr. Einsweiler to explain how, when nnate no single agency has jurisdiction or authority, do yo four different agencies or levels (FAA, MAC, Metro Council and Eden Prairie)? Einsweiler explained he doesn't know if there is a good answer. He stated we just have to keep talking about the concerns and find a place where everyone is together. _ Councilwoman Pauly stated she wanted to thank the MAC and Flying Cloud representatives (Messrs. Schmidt, O'Brien, Breslau, Einsweiler, • and Mrs. Suel) and Mrs. Shee, Planning Commission, for their spirit of cooperation, etc. Council members euestioned Mr. Schmidt as to whether the MAC would accept the Planning Commission's recommenda- tions and he stated-he could not answer that specifically at this time.

Certain reveiws, changes and alternate assessment methods for these projects, as requested by the City Council, are submitted as follows: 1. I.C. 51-259, STM 73-4-17 • Neill Lake Storm Sewer Project The credits for previous construction from Barr Eng. Co. due The Preserve and Olympic Hills Golf en=rse are broken down as follows: The Preserve 23 acre-feet of storage pond @ $870/ac-ft. = $20,010 BOO lin. ft. of 15" storm sewer pipe and 2 manholes = $16,965 Total credit due $36,975• Olympic Hills Golf Course 6 acre-feat of storage pond @ $870/ac-ft. Total credit due $5,220 Adding these credit amounts to the actual project costs of $971,100, the amount to be used for determination of the assessment rates is $1,013,295. Alternate assessment methods for I.C. 51-259 are described as follows: Method A Detenninra the Assessment rates based upon the following benefit ratios: - - - 2 _ Benefit Land Use Ratio Assessment Rate Low density residential 1:1 $875 Per acre Medium density residential, 1.25:1 $1,093 " church and school sites High density residential 1.90:1 $1,312 " Commercial 2:1 $1,750 " The land use under Method A is taken from the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan and the various PUD studies which have been completed for certain portions of the assessment district. Method B Same as Method A except change the benefit ratio.for commercial properties from 2:1 to 3:1. Benefit Land Use Ratio Assessment Rate Low density residential 1:1 $740 Per acre Medium density residential, 1.25:1 $925 church and school sites High density residential 1.50:1 $1,110 " Commercial 3:1 $2,219 " The land use under Method B is taken from the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan and the various PUD studies which have been completed for certain portions of the assessment-district (same as Method A). Method C Same as Method A, except change the benefit ration for Commercial properties from 2:1 to 3:1 (same as Method B) and apply the low density residential land use rate to all developed single family parcels regardless of possible future zoning changes for these properties, Benefit Land Use Ratio Assessment Rate Low density residential 1:1 $770 Medium density residential, 1.25:1 $964 church and school sites High density residential 1.50:1 $1,156 Commercial 3:1 $2,312 ee - 3 - DEFERMENT Along with Method A, B or C, a 5-year deferment without interest, to be allowed for all developed, single family parcels for which a building permit was issued on or before June 22, 1971. Such defer- ment would.end upon subdivision or re-zoning of said parcels. Approximately fifty acres of assessable property would be eligible for this deferment. REMARKS • Method A may be the most defensible, in terms of the benefit ratio, if the assessment is appealed because of the technical recommendations from Barr Eng. Co. Method B results in the lowest rates for the single family properties; however, some of the developed single family parcels which are within • the Major Center PUB and would be assessed at the higher density or commercial rates. The same is true for Method A. Method C best satisfies the concerns which have been expressed by the Council and the residents. Only a relatively small number of acres (35) may be re-zoned in the future to a higher use so the impact of assessing these properties at the lower rate is minor. Also, a reason- ably good argument can be made in support of the 3:1 benefit ratio for the commercial properties. 2. I.C. 51-263 and I.C. 51-264 WTR 74-8-01 and SAN 71-7-34 Sewer and water trunk and lateral assessments for Northeast area. A question was raised concerning the assessable area for Parcel 3000, Section 1. Upon review, we have reduced the assessable area, because of soil conditions and steep slopes, from 31.40 to 26.88 acres. The connection charge for the City water system is $100 per residen- tial dwelling unit rather than per lot unit. 3. I.C. 51-267, STR 73-3-27 Street improvements and • • • storm sewer for the Scenic Heights Addition and adjacent properties The assessment roll has been revised to properly reflect the 25% credit for those properties eligible. • 4 The cost of the sanitary sewer and water laterals, excluding street restoration was $2,648 for those lots eligible for the • 25% credit. The credit amount was $650. It can be said that the 25% credit should also apply to the minimum street restoration which would have been required for the streets in the Scenic Heights Addition following the sewer and water lateral installations. Adding the cost of minimum street restoration to the lateral costs would result in a project cost in excess of $4,000 per lot. Accordingly, the 25% credit would reach this $1,000 maximum. In accordance with the above discussion, the assessment rate for those properties eligible for this 25% credit has been reduced from $2,940 to $2,590 per lot. Mr. Virgil Siefert, fee owner of Parcel 6525, Sec. 16, has objected to receiving the total assessment of $10,196 for the Outlet construc- • ted for the drainage pond south of the Scenic Heights Addition. During the improvement hearings for the Scenic Heights projects. Mr. James Zachman, representing himself as the developer of Mr. Siefert's property, requested and agreed to pay the cost of said storm sewer. Mr. Siefert reports that at the present time, Mr. Hochman is not • going to proceed with the development of the property and this leaves Mr. Siefert in a difficult position. It is recommended that $5,100 of the storm sewer cost be assessed against Mr. Siefert's property at this time. It may be possible to recover the remaining project cost if Mr. Hochman continues with this project at some future time. Our.City special assessment records can so indicate. A draft of Council Resolution No. 1031A approving the above described • 1.975 Special Assessments is attached. • f C3t a — • October 7, 1975 CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE • HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 1031A RESOLUTION APPROVING 1975 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS WHEREAS, pursuant to proper notice duly given as required by law, the City Council has met and heard and passed upon all objections to the proposed assessments for the following improvements, to wit: (See Exhibit A attached) NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY cuONCIL OF THE CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE: • 1.

A. 169 Mini Sector Study, staff report on alternative road alignments and Garden King Market area. The planner discussed the recommendations made In the September 12, 1975 • staff report concerning the Garden KingMarket site and the northern Votech • School entrance . He outlined the recommendations listed in the report and the. reasoning that Brauer & Associates and the planning staff used in formulating their recommendations. Members of the audience expressed concerns relative to the following; • Mr. Simchuck, across from the northern Votech entrance was concerned about the north access road and its impact upon his property. He questioned if the Modern Tire and Energy System's cul-de-sac might provide a reasonable relocation of the east/west collector road. The plannerresponded that it had been considered , but due to proximity to the parkway and the significance of the northern Votech School access that the major access point should occur at the Votech School access rather than to the north by Modern Tire. • Sirnchuck expressed hts feelings that any road declstons`snd construction would have tremendous impact upon his home and possibly hts business (trucking ), and that • he was not in complete agreement with the road on his property. Mr. Perkins, owner of the Garden King,Market, expressed a concern for safety • of the curve and that of the Votech School access. •He stated that people turn around in his driveway and that the curve is very dangerous because of the heavy truck traffic and proximity to his business. Mr. Gene Hansen, owner of Cleen Sweep expressed concern"relative to the heavy truck traffic and safety along 169 . • Motion: Scher moved, Meyers seconded, to amend the 169 Mini Sector Study by Brauer & Associates as follows; 1. Retain the Garden King home site and adjacent lots as residential property not commercial. 2. Enforce the requt cements of Ordinance 135 pertaining to non- confoinming uses and clearly identify the fruit market as such a use. 3. At such time as sewer and water are provided to the Sunnybrook area, pie;Liis; and zoning of the Garden King home and adjacent lots should be corn,idered to an appropriate single family detached residential district. 4. Close Sunnybrook Road when alternate access is available. 5. Give further study to the impact of cul-de-lacing Creek Knoll Road. 6. That the east/west collector road is neceseary to allow '` orderly and compatible future development of the total area. • /i O Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes -5- Sept. 29, B75 • 7. That the east/west collector should connect with the northern votech access road because of spacing from other streets, property served by • the streets location, and connection with a major intersection. 8. That the long term use of lots, 3,4,5 and 6 should be non-residential I as described in the 169 Study. The collector road design and alignment should be planned with this in mind. 9. That the timing of the east/west collector street should not be in advance of the need created by either the residential development east or the industiral.development of parcels 3,4 and 6. • 10. That alternates B, C, D are possible at a future date as a way of extending the east/west collector street. 11. That at the east/west collector street improvement, cost vs. benefit comparisions he prepared-on the various alternatives. Discussion Perkins questioned what was being approved and it was indicated to him by the Commission that it was the recommendations included in the September 12th staff report. Perkins expressed his concern about his ltvelfloodandd said • his that decisions made by this body effect his business and family . i r He business had been at the same location for 47 years and that he saw no reason I to change . He did not believe his property should be viewed as residential and that he hoped that his fruit and garden market could continue in the future. i • The planner e):plaincd that because of the safety hazards , which he also indicated at that location, the limited size of the parcel and condition of the building • that a residential use in conjunction with the adjacent properties would make the most sense. To indicate the parcel as commercial and rezone it to a commer- clai use.would in the planner's and Brauer's opinion,not be in the best interest of all parties, and that the commercial zoning would be applicable to other uses ... not just the fruit market. Libbey Hargrove, resident on SunnybrookBo ad , asked why the Garden King • Market is different than the Modern Tire request for rezoning and how did Clean Sweep gain its operation. The planner responded that the Modern The request for rezoning is considerably different than the Perkins Garden King Market. first the building condition and investment is substantially different, likewise the; parcel size of Modern Tiro and Energy Systems of sufficient sire to permit reasonable industrial development within the City Ordinance requirements. The Garden King situ would not provide adequate space for industrial development. Secondly , the Clean •Sweep operation started by using the 1:,.rn when the Hansen home was purchased for park . along Staring Lake. The existing barn was used for storage and then an 1 addition to the barn was constructed ---no City approvals , such as coning, have, been iseued. The planiir asked Hansen to further explain the circumstance„ . Hansen felt the planner outlined the history correctly. a 1 • t { Iq 1 Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes -6- Sept. 29, 1975 Amendment Meyers moved, seconded by Schee, to amend the motion by amending • recommendation;,`4 Co ,cad; that the timing of the cast/.vest collector street should not be in advance of the need created by either the residential development east or the industrial developmentof parbels 3,4 and 6 as defined on page 3 of the September 12th staff report.

The site is about 1 acre and is located north of T. H. 5 across from Fuller Road's intersection with T.H.5. Mrs. Riegert explained their concern about the staff report of September 18, 1975. She indicated they did not feel a metal building as proposed was inappropriate and•she did not think the City had the right to restrict the type —— of building. She questioned the access as to where would they connect to their site. Also, she felt the needs of the City of Eden Prairie should be accommodated and that if a masonry building has to be constructed it would be difficult for them to do. The planner responded that the zoning ordinance restricts metal buildings and it is applicable to all builders in the City. He stated that the access as indicated in the staff report, alternate 1 , would be taken from the east side of their property at the base of the hill off of the gravel road entrance that presently exists. The planner believed that all developments should be evaluated equally, and that other builders and businesses were required to have certain building standards and Prairie Lawn & Garden should be no exception. Sorensen indicated concern over the neighborhood sites for businesses and that he could not justify commercial use in the industrial area as outlined in Ordinance 135. Motion: Fosnocht moved, Feerick seconded, to recommend alternative 1 contained in the September 18, 1975, staff report. The recommendations•of the 4/5 Study pertaining to access and land use enables the Planning Commission and City Council to consider rezoning the entire 18 f acres as illustrated on the 4/5 land use concept plan to I-2 Park requiring platting and design review for the industrial park prior to issuing building permits other than the Riegert property. This alternative will allow phased development of the 18 acre area , • perhaps beginning with the existing land uses which are now industrial office, or related minor commercial . This alternative would meet the terms of Ordinance 135 pertaining to I-2 Districts except for the minimum zoning area provision which requires 40 acres. This however, could be waived based on the site constraints , adjacent land use south of Highway 5 which is industrial , and the conformance with the reference 4/5 Study Report. • - �liJ�• • - Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes Sept. 29, 1975 Mr. Rtegert's land use as a small engine repair business , storage of parts and equipment, potential nursory,and mower sales, may be interpreted as an acceptable industrial use as it fits under Subdivision 8.2 , Permitted Uses, Subd, a and b. Also, the building should be designed to meet the •standards of the I-2 District which would not permit a metal building unless it meets provisions of Ordinance 135 , Subd, 2.7, Special Requirements, Design, #4, which states; "Factory fabricated and finished metal framed panel construction if the panel material be any of the those ne:nsd above. ;glass • prefinished metal,(other than unpainted galvanized trorr,or plastic". This means the panel metal construction such as used in the Homart Shopping Center and not the metal pole building with a corrugated sheet metal siding as proposed. The building should be designed to provide for future • industrial uses as well as the Riegert Lawn & Garden business. • The sketch provided in the application of the site showing direct access to Highway S should - be revised to accommodate a revised road location acceptable with the City Engineering Department and the Minnesota Highway Department to group the Fuller-Road and access to the 18 acre industrial park at one location. This would eliminate the individual access of Prairie Lawn& Garden to Highway 5. • Vote: 3:3 , (Schee, Boerger, Sorensen -nay), (Feerick, Meyers, Foanocht-yes ) The Commission decided to submit two recommendations, with 3 members suggesting alternate 1 and 3 members . suggested alternate#3 • •• • TI (V • PLANNING STAFF REPORT • TO: Planning Commission FROM: Dick Putnam, Planning Director _ PROJECT: Prairie Lawn and Garden APPLICANT: Stanley Riegert LOCATION: North of T.Il. 5 , directly across from Fuller Road.

Applicants request brochure , and addition 8-6-74 BACKGROUND Mr. Riegert submitted anapplication for Prairie Lawn and Garden dated 7-18-74 and was considered by the Planning Commission first at their August 6, 1974 meeting with subsequent motion from the Commission on 9-6-74. During the period of consideration the City Planning Commission, and Council discussed the possibility of conducting a study on the 4/5 area. The study was authorized and prepared during late 1974 and early 1975. Resolution 986 adopted by the City Council stated; • " Whereas, the Eden Prairie City Council anticipates numerous requests and development proposals fir lands adjacent to and in the vicinity of Co. Rd. 4 and T.H. 5,and Whereas, this area includes land use concept designated in the Comprehensive Guide Plan and also planned study area , and Whereas, the staff, advisory commissions, interested citizens and developers have reviewed and studied various land use proposals and transportation alternatives affecting the above mentioned land uses, . • Now Therefore ha it resolved, that the Eden Prairie City Council hereby commends the Sector Study team.Andthe material presented in the 4/5 Study Report be received as reference and review particularly as it relates to all development proposals for these areas which :night come before this Council and future councils . And this council does recognize this report as a valuable contribution to the overall land use of this area as it relates • • to the entire community and the general development concept as expressed in the Comprehensive Guide Plan." _ f 7ttm =a• _�L_ r. Staff Report-Prairie Lawn & Garden .-2- Sept/ . 18, 1975 The resolution did not specify any City action to take place concerning the previously presented development proposals by Prairie Lawn & Garden, Gonyea Investment&Eagle Enterprises ,but rather that those developments would at their own choice. take appropriate action consistent with Resolution 986. Eagle Enterprises has proceeded with designs and a building permit to Construct a neighborhood shopping center. Mr. Rlagert did not proceed with any action after the adoption of the 4/5 Report as a reference . _ Mr. Riegert is now asking that the City Planning Commission, and Council reconsider his request for rezoning for his proposed Lawn & Garden Business. • GUIDE PLAN COMPATIBILITY • Pages 3-5 in the August 29,1974 , staff report describes the Comprehensive Plan statements relating to the use proposed and its location. 'r The adoption of Resolution 986 , and the work done on the 4/5 Study, have informally at least, modified the concepts and thoughts of the Comprehensive Plan. If the Planning Commission and Council choose to use the 4/5 Study as a " reference and review " document , and as a " valuable • contribution to the overall land use of the area as it relates to the entire community and the general development concept " . . then the recommendation of the 4/5 Study pertaining to access and land use should be considered as pertinent to reviewing the Prairie Lawn and Garden request. . 4/5 Study • Pages 44 and 45 explain the lens uses for the site; "The 18 acre site adjacent to Highway 5 and south of the open space corridor is proposed as an industrial park without outside storage. The proximity of the site to Highway 5,exlsting,uses, . and zonings , .& shared access with the relocated Fuller Road, make a small scale industrial park workable and an asset to the area as a highway buffer if properly designed.

The urban parkway alternative would require approxi- - matoly 1500 foot spacirig between the controlled access points, specifically relocated or preeent Fuller Road access north and south and no driveway access as currently exists to Highway 5.

Other issues raised by the application for commercial zoning is Its non-conformance with the City Guide Plan adopted in 1968 , and the conflict with the recommendations of the 4/5 Study for industrial development and Ordinance No. 135. Eden Prairie has adopted a concept of community commercial centers ,and the Major Center Area, for regional or major commercial office activities. • '. The proposal by Mr. Riegert would place his commercial enterprise outside of an existing activity commercial center such as the north west quadrant of 4/5, Eden Plaza Shopping Center, or the Preserve Center area. It would reinforce the concept of strip commercial along the major highways and spot zoning of individual commercial sites. Therefore , it is the Planning staff's opinion that a rezoning of 1 # acre site for the Prairie Lawn and Garden store to Community Commercial would be inconsistent with the requirements of the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan, the 4/5 Study, and those of Ordinance 135 pertaining to C-Commercial which requires a minimum of 5 acres. r+,Q /N Staff Report-Prairie Lawn & Garden -4- Sept. 18, 1975 • ALTERNATIVES • Alternative 1 The recommendetions'of the 4/5 Study pertaining to access and land use enables the Planning Commission and City Council to consider rezoning the entire 18 f acres as illustrated on the 4/5 land use concept plan to I-2 Park requiring platting and design review for the industrial park i'irior to issuing building permits other than the Riegert • property. This alternative will allow phased development of the 18 acre area , perhaps beginning with the existing land uses which are now industrial office, or related minor commercial . This alternative would meet the terms of Ordinance 135 pertaining to I-2 Districts except for the minimum zoning area provision which requires 40 acres. This however, could be waived based on the site constraints , adjacent land use south of • Highway 5 which is industrial , and the conformance with the reference 4/5 Study Report. Mr. Riegert's land use as a small engine repair business , storage of parts and equipment, potential nursery,and mower sales, may be interpreted as an acceptable industrial use as it fits under Subdivision 8.2 , Permitted Uses, Subd, a and b. Also, the building should be designed to meet the -standards of the I-2 District which would not permit a metal building unless it meets provisions of Ordinance 135 , Subd, 2.7, Special • Requirements, Design, # 4, which states; "rectory fabricated and finished metal framed panel construction if the panel .. material be any of the those name above. ;glass • prefinished metal,(other than unpainted galvanized irottor plastic". This means the panel metal construction such as used in the Homed Shopping Center and not the metal pole building with a corrugated sheet metal siding as proposed. The building should be designed to provide for future industrial uses as well as the Riegert Lawn & Garden business. The sketch provided in the application of the site showing direct access to Highway 5 should be revised to accommodate a revised road location acceptable with the City Engineering Hepartment and the Minnesota Highway Department to group the Fuller Road and access to the 18 acre industrial park at one location. This would eliminate the individual access of Prairie Lawn & Garden to Highway 5. fl1/9 _ i • Staff Report-Prairie Lawn& Garden -5- Sept. 18, 1975 • • Alternative 2 The second alternative would be to deny the application and determine that the proposed use is not an acceptable industrial park use at this site consistent with the 4/5 Study Report and should be denied for commercial zoning as requested. The City Council and Planning Commission in adopting this alternative would determine that the Lawn &Orden (small engine repair, warehousing, and limited retail sales ), would not be consistent with the provisions of the I-2 District , and that the commercial zoning requested would be Y inappropriate at this site based on the Comprehensive Plan and the 4/5 Study. Alternative 3 The third alternative would be to deny the application by Prairie Lawn & Garden for . commercial zoning as it is not consistent with the Comprehensive • Plan indicating a residential use at this site. Alternative 4 The fourth alternative would grant the request for C-Commercial zoning for the Prairie Lawn & Garden site as requested and vary the terms of Ordinance 135 pertaining to -minimum zoning district area, building material and type, and approving the individual access to T.H. 5. • PLANNER'S RECOMMENDATTONS • The planning staff recommends Alternative I with the restrictions on building type to be of masonary construction , or •' factory fabricated and finished metal framed panel construction ',' that the access be combined with the other lots in the 18 acre industrial park , that the building be designed to be compatible with other industrial buildings and provide the required landscaping buffer treatment, parking, etc., required in Ordinances135, 141, and 178 • DP/jme • • • Y.Y 115 .: Einutes - Parks, Boa. and Paco rive .

Hustad Development Company, request for office , industrial and residential PUD on a 26 acre site located south of U. S. 169 , west of Creek Knoll Road and north of Co. Rd. 1. The planner said the staff is recommending approval.of the modified site plan; and the storm sewer specifics will be worked out between the proponent and Hustads. Sorensen questioned why the staff is recommending approval of office uses outside of the MCA in this case. The planner responded that the one and two story office buildings are not regional in character and a need for non-residential uses around the airport 'exists. Sorensen then asked the planner's opinion of the letter from the highway department. The planner stated he did not feel the City could withhold approval based upon the letter. Meyers Inquired into the status of Creek Knoll Road's cul-de-sacing. The planner replied that alot of work is entailed and it is not entirely applicable to the office development. Bill Bonner stated they agree with the buffer recommendations in the staff report and they are now requesting rezoning only for the office,and concept approval for the industrial and residential parts of the PUD. 1 Sorensen asked what Hustad's intentions are regarding the existing house ' presently used as an office. Bonner replied they intend to retain it and lease it as an office. Bonner stated that Hustad's disagree with recommendation(la)in the staff report and desire to retain the .8 acre sign site. Meyers asked if 1 main entrance with right-in/right-out had been considered. The planner responded that they are waiting for the County Highway's responSe . Lynch asked if the proposal is consistent with the Guide Plan. The planner felt the office project is inconsistent , but office&industrial uses are needed around the airport. Motion: Boerger moved, Meyers seconded, to recommend approval of the Hustad office PUD concept plan for the area located between 169, Creek Knoll Road, and Co. Rd. 1 for the overall 22 acre plan and rezoning from Rural to Office. And include the recommendations of the engineer's report dated September 8, and the staff report of September 2 with the following changes to#js 1,4, and 8; 1. a.

DATE: September 11, 1975 pn as The following ofo�parkf.Busted rearaalion and natural rPUD rnesonrces:it impacts the City's concern 1. The Brauer &Associates study of the Purgatory Creek Open Space Corridor - The map on page 45 of the Purgatory { Creek Study indicates the protection areas as delineated by Brauer & Associates. The area in green shaded dark on the enclosed reproduction of that map corresponds closely with the open space dedication area indicated in the Austad Office PUD concept plan. The one discrepancy between the two exists on the east side along Creek Knoll Road where proposed townhouses are shown on the Busted plan and where the Brauer study would suggest continued opeif space as required in the conservancy area. The Brauer study further suggests the provision of some loop trails along Purgatory Creek in this area, although the barrier of Highway 169 Makes any short term trail continuity through the Busted parcel unlikely. . 2. Comprehensive Guide Plan -The Guide Plan shows a realignment of County Road 1 through a portion of the Busted site. The City has previously acquired some land along Purgatory Creek south and east of Staring Lake which corresponds to the anticipated future realignment of County Road 1, the thought being that realigned 1 would serve as the edge of the nature perk.area forming a parkway drive. Should this occur, trails along Purgatory Creek using a reeliggned County Road I overpass could cross 11169 end continue along the creek corridor. 3. The City Mini-•Rink Skating Program - Last year one of the eight mint-rink locations: was identified as the pond along Purgatory Creek 1 on this parcel. Uee of tha mini-rink was minireel last ycar,but with the increased development just east of Creek Knoll Road and { through the provision of some safer, easier access to this site, it is anticipated that this use would increase. The possibility of cut-de-sacing a Creek Knoll's Road on both sidksof the creek and eliminating the bridge • crossing would greatly enhancefor the usability, serving the rkasid of the creek corridor ,. for trail purposes arid this area TO: Parks, Recreation and Natural -2 - September 11, 1975 Resources Commission area to the east. Although in any event, the?mini-park at this location is not centrally located to the residential development. 4. Bikeway/Hikeway Task Force Report -The Citizens Task Force which • studied the need for bikeways/hikeways in the community identified a major route along County Road 1 as a early priority. Regardless of whetliea County Road 1 is realigned west from this side or not, the provision of this pathway should be incorporated into the site plan. RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends that the Hustad office PUD concept plan be approved subject to the following: • 1. That the open space dedication be accomplished consistent with the Purgatory Creek Open Space Corridor Study conducted by Brauer&Associates. This to include all land from the intersection of 169 and Crook Knoll Road southerly to the top rim of the creek • valley,generally as represented by the map on page 45 of the Purgatory Creek Open Space Corridor Study report. 2. The trail to be provided along County Road 1 consistent with the standards and criterias of the Bikeway/Hikeway Task Force Report and that access be provided through the office PUD from County Road 1 to the creek. The City should consider trail construction along Purgatory Creek at a later date as a desirable goal or one that should be considered when a safe crossing of 169 can be accomplished. 3. That the City incorporate any recommendations or suggestions from the Riley Purgatory Creek Watershed District with respect to water quality control as a result of development as indicated in the concept plan.

Austad Development Corporation LOCATION: Between 169, Creek Knoll Road, and Co. Rd. 1 REQUEST: PUD Concept Approval for Overall 22 acre Plan and Rezoning From Rural to 1-7. Park ,Office and RM 6.5 • • GUIDE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan and the Plan Map indicates a number of changes which - would effect the 26 acre parcel. Those changes relate to the noise, change in land use to industrial/commercial, road relocations, airport expansion, and park area. The 1968 Plan states on page 6; " 3. Industrial development should be concentrated within the • major highway access areas and around Flying Cloud Airport. and should permit very little heavy industry. The Comprehensive Plan suggested low and medium density housing along the ridge over looking the creek valley on the site. This was combined with the relocation of 169 and Co. Rd. 1 to provide industrial/commercial buffer around Flying Cloud Airport. The Plan established the major roads as boundarlet to the Airport and airport related uses. • • Implementation of Comprehensive Plan • The Browning Parries i'UD (previously Waste Management), has been approved for industrial and office use development around and over the land fill site southeast of 169. One building has been constructed for the Browning Ferries Office P.uildtna Maintenance Facility as well as truck storage. Industrial developeeo.i has occurred in the south side. of Co. Rd. 1 , north of the Flying Cloud Airen's clear zone. Three office/warehouse buildings have been constructed . No development has occurred west of 169 and north of Co. Rd. 1, • however, interest in industrial development has been expressed. • • The path development for Staring Lake and Purgatory Creek are proceeding • with ucquieliivrr and protection of the crock valley area. • Staff Report-Hustad Office PtID -2- Sept. 2, 1975 • . The proposed relocation of 169 on the present Creek Knoll Road alignment south to Bluff Overlook Drive around the land fill site is extremely unlikely because of existing development , costs, and relative benefits derived. The proposed realignment of Co. Rd. 1 north with a new intersection at 159 as proposed on the Eluide Plan seems rather unlikely. Some realignment of the existing Co. Rd. 1 / 169 Intersection should he accomplished for safety and greater traffic capacity. Such a realignment may take a number of forms which must be decided with State, County, Metro Airports Commission , City , and effected landowners. The area indicated for highway service commercial development on the Comprehensive Plan, without the road alignments proposed,does not seem feasible because of the limited area available. OTHER STU..DTLS AND PLANS .Purgatory Creek Study • Brauer& Associates in conjunction with City and Watershed District completed the Purgatory Creek Study. The study indicated protection of the fioodplain and related low areas on the llustad 25 acre site as well as slope protection to tho top of the valley. Some use moy be put to the low land areas for • recreation space , but on a informs] level. r \ r c \ i � ,A .+.• _ v ...:t`...v f _ ., ,. ; • ;•/••'A 11-------14, _ 1,-,---,--_,-2-..\' ..., ii .. . , . :_ . .,_ _... :: ....f 'r P i ,..,-- f \I\I f { C i6I i . i .:el. Staff Report-Husted Office Site -3- Sept. 2, 1925 Airport Study_ The Flying Cloud Airport Study Indicated concern relative to compatibility of land uses in this area with the noise levels & indicated industrial or multiple family uses with special acoustical treatment . The Airport Study indicated that the road reafigneents proposed in the Guide Plan were not needed for the airport expansion contemplated which would keep the airport as a General Utility Airport, rather then upgrading the airport. Also, minimum . additional land purchases would be required for any airport improvements. Major Center Plan • The MCA Plan stresses the importance of consolidating major regional uses including regional office, commercial, high density housing, etc. In the MCA 1,000 acre jtreu a number of proposals have been submitted for significant commercial service developments outside of the MCA. The question related to the Hosted Office proposal, 60,000 square feet , is whether the pure office use as proposed is inconsistent with the Major Center Plan . Office buildings have boon built in other areas of the community , for example; the Edenwest Office Building, Carderel.le Office Building • • �tansnortetion study The Metro Council Transportation Development Guide Chapter recognized that construction of New 212 would he unlikely until 1990. Therefore, existing 169 would he utilized as a major regional arterial through 1990. Improvement of existing 169 to a 4 lane design with ciwnnelized intersection and ' signals would seem the maximum upgrading to be expected on existing 169. Co. Rd. 1 will function es a community east/west arterial from Jonathan east to Metropolitan Sti.dlum in Bioominton . Design may be maximum with 4 lanes with intersection controls and ramps at the freeway intersections. The Improvements to the 169/Co.

The proposed concept developes 16.4 acres of the level hill top as industrial and office . The industrial and office buildings work well with the natural features offering economical non-resi- dential sites with exposure to the Purgatory Creek Valley. As a buffer to-the Creekwood single family homes east of Creek Knolls Road,thc plan proposes 26 townhouse units, anticipated to be rental. Concern by the Watershed District regarding the location of the northern units in relation to Purgatory Creek requires moving the units south & drop- ping the total member of units. Some concern of Creekwood residents about the desirability of rental townhouse units along Creek Knolls Road has lcd the developer to explore other housing typos for the 5±acre site, In my opinion the developer has chosen reasonable land use types given the surrounding land uses and natural site character. Refinement will be necessary to insure the compatibility with neighboring homes, transportation impravements,and creek valley preservation. PUD Plan Elements The Planning staff has concern in these areas: 1. The proposed .81, acre sign site should be dedicated to the City for open space purposes along with the flood plain and slopes. Exclusion of the .8 acres will, in my opinion,only create the temptation for highway commercial development. The terms of the dedication could allow the temporary use of ' the site for the "Bluffs Riga" for a period of years. Commer- cial development of the site would create traffic safety and aesthetic problems. • 2. The condominium or "Homeowner's Association" approabh to multiple in usttritajoffice ownership is a new idea . • Many questions must la worked out that involve such basics as; financing, sales agreements, cundominum association documents, City responsibilities, etc. The City in approving the proposed concept may not be , able to evaluate the plan under our existing :coning ordinance, rather some of Ordinance 135's standards will be appropriate and others not. The plsaning staff suggests that when the industrial pork plan is ready for zoning&platting that, where t nended,speci-1 standards be incorporated as provided for in Sec . 11, PUT), of the Zoning Ordinance. (1 EE Planning Staff i:eport-Hustad Office PUD -5- Sept. 2, 1975 3. The 60,000 sq. ft. of office use is basically well designed • and fits the site well. However, the planning staff must raise a question regarding the office use and its impact upon the ability of landowners to develop the high value/high service MCA. Also, existing and planned public investment in utilities, roads,and storm sewer can only be paid for by development of the MCA. In my opinion , two alternatives may be suggested - — a. restrict ail'major office development to the MCA except for • professional office uses, (doctors, etc. ), which might locate in"activity centers." b. allow limited office development within industrial areas and high noise . corridors (freeways, airports ) , provided the building type is of a low intensity ( 1 or 2 stories ). • From a planning perspective either alternative will work, the question is one of City Policy affecting the MCA. Many private and public commitments have begun in the MCA and the financial impact upon the total community is not clear if the MCA does not develop as planned. • SITE PLAN ANALYSTS • Auto Accese 3 access points to Co. Rd. 1 are proposed over 300 feet apart. No locations are indicated for the existing driveways of the industries south of Co. Rd. 1 . Final design should allow the access points to line up forming "T" intersections with those existing driveways. a Access to Co.

The private street system Is clearly defined at the entrance but becomes only a normal parking ,recess road. The average traffic generation per day would be about 1,100 trips spread meinly on the east and middle access points. Most traffic (approx. 80ii ), is during the morning and afternoon peak hours. Revising the intcrnol road circulation plan to clearly define the Main i circulation routes frnnn the parl:iug access roads should be done to increase safety and traffic handling capacity. 116 • • Planning Staff Report-I-lusted Office Site -6- Sept. 2, 1975 Pedestrian System The Ilustad Plan should include a primary bike/hike trail along Co. Rd. 1 consistent with the Task Force Report. Also, a.connection either along Creek Knolls Road or through the office site between Purgatory Creek and Co. Rd. 1 is desirable. Pathways connecting to the Co. Rd. 1 primary path should be made to the office/industrial buildings. Parking Ordinance 141 requires 5 parking space/1,000 sq. ft. of building for office use , i space/1.,000 sq. ft. for warehouse, and 3 spaces/1,000 • sq. ft. for industrial uses. The proposed site plan provides 445 t spaces. Depending upon the percentage of warehouse vs. offico,the parking appears sufficient. Changes suggested concerning setbacks may reduce the total parking. In Subdivision 12.2 of Ordinance 141 ,"off street parking facilities shall • be on the same parcel of land as the structure they are intended to serve". If the condominium approach is used chances are that the parking area will be a common outlet owned and maintained by all owners. Setbackpi(SSuffer The proposed plan violates setback requirements along Co. Rd. 1 and 169. A 50 foot setback is required in I-2 Park Districts.and a 35 foot setback in Office Districts. Land scani nJ The site plan should be modified to provide the necessary landscaping along Co.•Rd. 1 and the buffer along 169, lanndscaping should be provided to complement the parking lot shade treesand screen the parking areas from Co.

Quadrant of T.R. 169 and C.S.A.U. 1 Adjacent to Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie Hennepin County Dear Mr. Putnam: We have received a copy of the above proposal for our review in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 505.02 and 505.03, Plats and Surveys. We suggest further study in the location of this proposed development for the following • reasons. ) _ 1) Tnplaco T.M. 169 is presently operating at or very near capacity. Construction of a large development such as this one would overtax the facilities now available. 2) District 5 is proposing signalizat:ioii and ahannelization at the T.R. 169 - CSISB 1 intersection in 1978, subject to available funding and Central Office approval.. Because of the steep grades approaching this intersection, however, a sigral.would decrease rethcn than increase the capacity of the present intersection. The signal is proposed for two o'l.her reasons: To create gaps for cross street traffic and to reduce the potential of serious accidents at this location. 3) The Hustad proposal would include a folded diamond interchange to t., alleviate this traffic problem. This solution would likely be adequate but has several drawbacks. a a) A considerable amount of right.of-way would have to be pur- chased. b) Tie Metropolitan Council staff is of the opinion that this proposal is contrary to the approved Eden Prairie Comprehen- 1. AN EQUAL°PPM:W .1TY EMPLOYER Mr. Richard Putnam August 29, 1975 Pago 2 • •sive Plan. (This plan shows rerouting T.H. 169 to the east of its present alignment and rerouting CSAH 1 north of its present alignment - both would cross the triangle proposed for development, yet neither is shown on the layout). This would necessitate adjustment of the Eden Prairie Plan and • 'new approval from the Metro Council. c) T.H. 212, after relocation on its new proposed corridor, would remain classified as a principal arterial, and inplace T.H. 169 would be dropped to a somewhat lesser classification. Because of its low priority and in light of the limited fund available for highway construction, the major expenditure needed for an interchange at this location could not be justified. d) Relocating c:An 1 to the,north may cause environmental problems with proposed Staring Lake Park. In summation, since this development will likely require a'higher level of service than T.H. 169 can provide for the foreseeable future, it may be ..better located in the Major Center where a higher level of service is avail- . able. • As you may be aware, the Minnesota Environmental Policy Act requires that the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) review any project which has the potential for significant environmental effect.

August 6, 1975 mow ` 1 f i • Mr. Richard Putnam • ' City Planner City of Eden Prairie 8950 Eden Prairie Road ' Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343 RE: Hustad Office Site ' Dear Mr. Putnam: 1 The engineering advisors to the Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District i have reviewed the development proposal for the Hustad Office Site as submitted to the District. The following Watershed District policies and criteria are applicable to this project: 1.. The townhouse located in the northeastern corner of the development S is immediately adjacent to the flood plain of Purgatory Creek. Due to the proximity of this townhouse to the flood plain of Purgatory • Creek, it is likely that fill will have to be placed into the Purgatory Creek flood plain. If fill. will be placed in the flood }lain, detailed plans showing the extent of this fill must be i submitted to the Watershed.District before the project can be approved. The Watershed District also notes that the proposed townhouse in the northeastern corner of the development is within AO feet of t the centerline of Purgatory Creek. It is the District's policy that no structure be built within 100 feet of the centerline of the stream. During a meeting between the Watershed District's engineering advisors and the developer, Mr. William Bonner of Hustad Development Company, i indicated that the townhouse adjacent to the flood plain and within i 100 feet of the creek would be moved to comply with the District's set-back requirement. This, would also likely remove the townhouse • from the pro inuty of the flood plain and may remove the need.to fill . within the flood plain. The Watershed District is awaiting a revised 1 • development plan showing the change in this townhouse location and • will comment after receivieg the revised plan. i , 2. The board of Managers is concerned about the itn+,act of surface runoff from the completed project on Purgatory Creek. As shown on the pre- liminary utility plan, the storm sewer system outlets 30 to 50 feet k ` above the creek. This would result in erosion between the development it Mr. Richard Putnam i Page 2 August 6, 1975 and the creek and is unacceptable. A storm sewer system from the development to Purgatory Creek must be provided. In cases where i, erosive velocities are present, energy dissipation will he needed W at the outlet of the storm sewer system. In order to remove oil • and inorganic solids inherent in runoff from a development of this type, consideration :should also be given to providing a storm water — settling basin. 3. A grading and land alteration permit must be obtained from the Watershed District for this project. A grading and land alteration I permit application must be accompanied by plans and specifications showing erosion control measures to be used for the project. Due t to the size of the project and the very steep topography in the j area, consideration should be given to only altering a portion i of the site at one time and to the timely restoration and revegetation of the areas. A restoration schedule should be submitted for restoring the altered areas of the development. • 4. A recent study of the Purgatory Creek trail corridor completed in cooperation with the City of Eden Prairie indicated that much of the 1 northern one-half of the development should be retained as en open I space corridor along Purgatory Creek. According to the development proposal, a portion of this open space corridor will be developed with townhouses and this may conflict with the intended use of the corridor. The Managers request that the City staff define the desired location y for a future trail through this development so that the extent of the conflict between the trail corridor study and the development plan can be better evaluated. hThank you for the opportunity to comment on this development at an early dote. If you have any questions about the District's comments, please contact us. • Sincerely, 1 I Pu......)-3,1L9- Allan Rebhard • BARR ENGINEERING CO. .

PETITIONS AND REQUESTS. • A. Hustad Development_Company, request for a office, industrial and residential PUD on a 26 acre parcel located south of U. S. 169, west of Creek Knoll Road , and north of County Road 1. Mr. Bill Bonner presented theproposaland reviewed the natural Iand forms and uses in the site. He reported that Hustad Development Company conducted an informal meeting with the surrounding landowners on Saturday and the primary concerns expressed were; traffic on Creek Knolls Road and the char- acter of the residential units. Mr. Nemec,9449 Creek Knoll Rd,asked if the northern portion of the proposal would be parkland and what assurances there were it woulddremain parkland. Bonner replied that the northern area would be dedicated to the City and the slope is proposed as scenic easement, Sorensen informed Mr. Nemec that that the parkarea would be secured by a legal document. Mr. Nemec then expressed his approval of a cuI-de-sac for Creek Knolls Road at the bridge. • Mrs. Nemic asked if the sign at 169 and Creek Knoll Road was on Highway property or Hustad property' Bonner responded that the land belongs' to Hustads. Mr. Nemec then expressed concern about the present traffic problems at 1 and 169 and future traffic. increases. Bonner stated that hopefully Co. Rd. 1 would cross over 169. The planner believed such an improvement would be beneficial , but neither the State or County Highway Departments have such plans in their 5 year programs. Harold Schaitberger felt the industrial shown on the zoning map was inaccurate on the Hustad proposal. He expressed the desire to have his property west of the Hustad proposal zoned industrial along with the Hustad request. The planner felt it would be possible and suggested Mr. Schaitberger apply for rezoninc Meyers asked if the residential units would be rental. Bonner replied he was unsure, but would know in a couple of weeks. Meyers suggested the possible future approval should include upgrading of Creek Knolls Road and 169/ 1 intersection. Sorensen inquired why 3 accesses were proposed along Co. Rd. 1 . Bonner replied the 3 accesses would distribute the traffic east or west more efficiently. Motion: 'Fosrocht moved, Boerger seconded, to continue the request to the August 11th meeting and refer it to the staff and Park & Recreation_ commission .

Lot Plan , The lot at the end of the north cul-de-sac has been removed. The north atrium unit has been sited in front of the Trail's townhouse units. Because of the size of the atrium units a single family unit might be better suited for this location. ' The northern unit should be moved as far south as possible • to provide space for the trail to negotiate the hill and not • totally block the view of the existing Trairs townhouses. • h. Setbacks The plan is to permit detached and attached single-family units in a zero lot line concept. The side yard setbacks will be regulated by fire codes for detached and attached dwellings. Front yard setbacks will not apply since the streets are pri- vate without public maintenance. The parking areas in front of the garages should hi no case be less than 25 feet from the building to street curb.

Conformance with PUD. The Phase 3 proposal reduces thu density from townhouse development to single family detached and attached homes. The configuration is hasci.al.ly the same with a modification of the road system. The land area proposed is approximately the same as the original PUD . • 13. Site Plan Analysis. l.. Grading arid \Tecretation The propoeedPhase 3 site plan accommodates the natural features of the site very well with no grading that would significantly change the character of the site . The vegetation along the golf course and wildlife area has been retained and additional plantings will be made in the development . To accommodate the sloping terrain walkout, tuck-under and at-grade units are proposed . 2. Colf Course Relations)_ The unit:: have been shed in relationship to the 15th tee and 6th green to provide adequate separation between the units and the course . Grade changes from 15-25 feet combined • with mature hardwood vegetation will provide the barrier needed to buffer the golf course use. 3. Wild'life Corridor The pope ed Phase 3 plan when overloyed with the Phase 2 plan does not provide the requi.cd 150 feet necessary for the wildlife eraridor. The duplex units arc within the 150 foot bound- ny atal the platting illustre.ted would not allow an outiot or sep:rrule wildiile corridor. No method is proposed to assure the protection of the wildlife corridor. • otg7 _-.._. L Planning Staff Report-Olympic Hills Phase 3 -2- July 21, 1975 ' The southern atrium units will need to be realigned to the north to provide the needed open space as well as the platting of a separate outbtas an easement allowing permanent open space use. 4. OpenS•Pacn _ a. YIay_Arca A totlot is proposed in the central Island surrounded by the access road and guest parking. Due to the _narrowness of the lots adjacent to Frank,and disadvan- tages of locating a totlot in the middle of an auto circula- tion route, the staff suggests that the totlot • be moved to the location shown on the following i sketch. This relocation would eliminate 1 single family lot and reduce the central island (proposed totlot), and allow greater lot depth along Franlo Road. ,, !

Elimination of the unit at the "1" intersection of the streets and replacing it with a totlot area is recommended. If in reducing the island size and moving the southerly duplex units north to provide more space for the wildlife corridor , an additional duplex . unit iu y be substituted for a single family lot along Franlo.

The Planning staff recommends that the 15 acre site be rezoned to RM 6.5 for construction of not more than 16 attached and 18 detached single family home site as per the revised site plan dated 7/3/75. 2. That the revised site pin dated 7/3/75 conform with the recommenda- tions of this planning staff report regarding open space, trails, building orientation, wildlife corridor, and site development. ._ 3. That the preliminary plat not be approved until it is submitted as per the revised site plan and is in conformance with the standards of the Engineering D-epartment. 4.

Olympic Hills Phase III, request for KID Development approval, rezoning to accommodate approximately 20 single family units and 14 atrium units, and preliminary plat approval of Phase III of the Olympic Hills PUD, Mr. Bruce Knutson presented the Phase 3 plan for single family type units and stated they have incorporated the Council's and Planning Commission's concerns' of a • path • along the eastern boundary, a totlot, and a 150 foot buffer, between phases 1 and 3 of the PUD. Knutson stated that the land would be maintained by and be part of the Olympic Hill's property. • The planner asked If the lots would be conventional single family lots. Knutson replied that the intent is to have 0 lot lines on one side, but that other alternatives are possible. Fosnocht asked what the price ranges of the units are expected to be. Knutson estimated the units to cost between•$ 42,000-67,000. Feerick inquired how many bedrooms the units would have. Knutson replied the model units would have 2 or 3 bedrooms , and Custom designs' would also be considered. Sorensen asked for the purpose of the empty lot at the end of the cul-de-sac. Knutson responded that the empty lot could accommodate a totlot or be left • for common space. Motion: Boerger moved, Fosnocht seconded, to continue the item to the July 28th meeting and direct the staff to pepare a staff repcsrt. The motion carried unanimously. • to Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes Sept. 29, 1975 E.Area 5a The Preserve, requestfor preliminary platting and rezoning for 51 single family lots. The area is located off Franlo Road south of the East/West Parkway and east of Olympic Hills. The plan was presented by Don Hess with questions relative to trailways and grading and lot variances asked by the Commission. The Commission was also concerned about the price of the lots and the need for lot size and setback variances. Hess explained the lots would be strainer in size to those of Highpolnt ranging from approximately 9,000-25,000 sq. ft. Boerger and Feerick were concerned that the City was making marketing judgements without basis when we discuss the merits of higher priced homes on smaller lots. and that this is a market decision rather than a City preogative . They also felt it was reasonable in the market place for today's housing market. Motion: Boerger moved, Feerick seconded, to recommend to the City Council approval of the Amsden Hills 50 t lots for rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 with variances In lot sizes to permit lots of 8,000-25,000 sq. ft. at a density of 2.6 du/acre, & frontage variances less than 90 feet and setback variances as follows. 5 feet 1 story garage 10 feet 1- - 1 story houses 15 . feet 2 story or greater ,20 feet houses built on corner lots. 2.That a trailway corridor be established between the 7 acre public park adjacent to Franlo Road connecting with the Prairie east corridor. 3.That the internal walkways provide access along Amsden Way or through the off street trail corridor leading to the public park at Anderson Lakes and the Franlo Road trail. 4.The Preserve work with Hustad Development Corporation to investigate connecting the cul-de-sac street in Prairie Eist with Amsden Way for a loop road configuration along the Lutheran Church and Preserve common boundary.

The overall density for the 82 acres of residential uses is approximately 6 du / acre . Tire • Preserve has indicated the time schedule for site preparation to be this Fall with home construc • - tion beginning next Spring. SURROUNDING USE: • Hustad Development Corporation's Prairie East single family subdivision is located directly south of the Amsden Hills proposal. This subidivision built in a 'rolling wooded area has lot sizes above 13,500 square feet. The project has not been constructed due to lack of financing, but has been approved through zoning and preliminary platting. •.

The planner informed the Commission the Council asked the Commission to reccnsider the Parkview PUD and the Resolution# 505 approving the PUD -- Mr. Peterson objected to the proposed change as it would be unnecessary and would require consideration of the assessment levied on the PUD . He also indicated Eden Land Corporation has no plans to do anything with plias es 2 and 3 at this time. Meyers stated she has concern relative to the density requirements listed in Resolution 505 and that they should be changed to the guidelines of the Red Rock Sector Plan. Sorensen agreed with Meyer's suggestion. Peterson said the City could have a review opportunity at a later date for development stages , but did not seen any reason why the Planned Unit Development should be changed. Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes -9- Sept. 29, 1975 The planner pointed out the numerous occasions where specific approvals of planned unit developments have been applied by the developers to a specific development proposal. Motion: Schee moved, Sorensen seconded, to recommend revision to Resolution 505 to be drafted by the City Attorney in a legal manner which would change Res. 505 as follows: (delete 1-4, and incert the following#s land 2 ) 1. Concept be approved for the 59.3 acre site with an overall density to comply with the Red Rock Sector Plan. 2. That varied building types be used on the later phases of the project to fit the terrain . Vote: 5:0:1,with Fosnocht abstaining. The question was asked if the Council would consider the 14 acre site adjacent to Mitchell Road currently zoned Rm 2.5. The concensus of the Commission was yes this was intended and that the Council might consider such a change. iaa2 • • R:EMO TO: Planning Commission • FROM: Dick Putnam, Planning Director DATE: September 19, 1975 SUBJECT: Purl;vlcvr , or Old Farm PUD The City Council asked the Commission to consider a revision to the Old Farm PUD, LD-71-PUD-05, to remove part or all of the City approvals on future phases. A copy of the resolution approving the Old Farm PUD is attached. The Commission could recommend any of the following; a. • Change the PUD, 71-05, as approved in Resolution505 by passing cl new resolution repealing Res. 505.

Gordon Smith Company (Jesse Schwartz ), to install 3 retail gas pumpsin an Industrial Zone, 7920 Wallace Road. The planner stated the Council referred the request to the Planning Commission for an interpretation of Ordinance 135. He believed the retail sales and self service gas pump could be considered a minor supporting use. Lynch inquired who would manage the pump sales. Jesse Schwartz Jr ,� responded It would be strickly self service and controlled by inner office personnel. The planner suggested moving the pumps to prevent traffic hazards from possible stacking of cars . Meyers suggested limiting the hours of the self service operation to the hours of the warehouse .. Lynch asked if the canopy as recommended in the staff report would be possible. Schwartz replied it could be done , but it would be expensive. Sorensen felt fuel pumping and storage Is related, hut one use is bulk and the other a commercial outlet. Motion:Lynch moved, Meyers seconded, that the W. Gordon Smith Company be allowed to install 3 pumps as a self servtce.gasoline island in conjunction with their warehouse building as per the Engineer's report of September 8, 1975 , and the following ; rt,tt 1. That the pump area be covered with a'material compatible with the building providing an enclosure for the fuel pumps. 2. That price signing be limited to the roof support enclosure and not on the roof or free-standing. 3. That signing for the self service fuel station be included on the one permitted freestanding sign. The ortentation of that free-standing sign shall be to t e asiiawent streets and not T.H. 5. 4. Hours of operation of the three'? pumps be limited to the hours • of operation of the warehouse.

This property was received in dedication for park and open space purposes. A preliminary landuse concept plan has been prepared and is also attached. We feel that the request is compatible with the park development planning,and would suggest that the easement be granted subject to the contingency that Northwestern Bell Telephone Company agree to remove and rebury the cable if the City finds it necessary to grade deeper than 30 inches in this area in the process of park development.

Assign one employee to assist the auditors when necessary. 2. Permit the auditors to do some interim work before the end of the year. 3. After the end of the year, wait until the 1975 work is completed before calling the auditors. Starting and stopping the audit work increases the cost of the audit. - 4. Permit the auditors to confirm utility receivables at November 30, 1975. 5. Have prepared schedules of special assessments and construction costs. These are the most time consuming areas of the audit. All of the above items will reduce the cost of the audit. Assuming the City of Eden Prairie can accommodate the auditors to the extent indicated above, we prepose an audit fee not to exceed a range of $4,100 to $4,300. Should our time be less than anticipated, our fee would be reduced accordingly. If the City were to type, proof, print, collate and bind the report, this estimate would be reduced $250. Involved is the typing itself, checking, lithographing, printing, collating, binding and final review on 20 copies of some 40 pages each.

We propose to conduct a limited general audit and issue our opinion on the basis of such an audit. A limited general audit is an examination which consists of a review of internal control, accounting procedures and of the details of all records, including subsidiary records and supporting data as to mathematical ac- . curacy, propriety and completeness of all transactions on a test basis. The test • examination presumes that the items selected are representative of all the transactions. Although a limited general audit is the one most frequently used today, it will not necessarily discover fraud or defalcation. However, should fraud or defal- cation exist, it may be uncovered as the result of One or more of the procedures applied on a test basis. As in previous years, we plan to do as much work before the year end as possible so that we way present our report at an early date. We have enjoyed our relationship with the City during the past years and hope that we may be allowed to conduct the 1975 audit. Very truly yours, • JGM:gmd J. Gregory Murphy, Partner Accepted by the City of Eden Prairie Title Date till J MEMO • TO: Mayor Osterholt and Members of the City Council FROM: Carl Jullie, City Engineer • THROUGH: Roger Ulstad, City Manager DATE: October 3, 1975 SUBJECT: Bids for Bituminous Overlay on Riley Lake Road Project STR 75-3-13, I.C. 51-281 Bids were received Thursday, Oct. 2, 1975, for bituminous overlay on Riley Lake Road from Co. Road 1 to the west City limits. The bids received are shown on the attached summary. The bidding documents are set up to allow the City Council to choose the length of project desired and either a 2" paver laid bituminous mat, 22'•wide, or a heavy seal coat using asphalt and "pea" sized cover ag- gregate. The following table summarizes the alternates available and the resulting assessment rates using both the front foot method and the per parcel method. To determine the assessment rates, 15% is added to the bid amounts for City engineering, legal and administrative services. EST. ASSESSMENT EST. ASSESSMENT • RATE - FRONT FOOT RATE - PER PARCEL 'r PROJECT SCOPE LOW BIDDER METHOD METHOD A-1 2" Bituminous Mat, Bituminous $2.25/f.ft. $1,150 per parcel Project length 4,500 ft. .Roadways, Inc. • A-2 2" Bituminous Mat, Northwest $2.90/f.ft. $425 per parcel Project length 400 ft. Bituminous Co., (From railroad crossing Inc. to north) • • B-1 Seal coating, Hardrives, Inc. $ .90/f.ft. $4§0 per parcel Project length 400 ft. B-2 Seal coating, Hardrives, Inc. $1.35/f.ft. $195 per parcel Project length 400 ft. The 2" bituminous mat will probably last 5 years without major repairs. The seal coat will go 2 years without major repairs. During the 3rd and 1 • • - 2 - 5th years of the seal coat project life, an additional partial seal coat application would be necessary. Based upon this, the 5-year cost for the 2" mat would be approximately $22,000 and the 5-year cost for the seal coat street would be approximately $17,000. Because the traffic on Riley Lake Road is in excess of 600 trips per day, it is recommended that the 2" mat will provide much more consistent and higher level of service than a seal coat for the money invested. • CJJ:kh • • • • • • • • • • • • PROJ s.r STR 75-3-13 PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT ROLL Property Owner per Description 1975 Tax Records Sect. 19 (2875) Joseph ri1ejsi • 9005 Riley Lake Rd. 1305' $2936.25 (3600) Howard Good 18600 Pioneer Trail 500' 1125.00 (4010)* James Thomas (P) Rt. #3, Box 106 Chaska 100' 225.00 (4412) .

JOHN'S WOOD SIXTH ADDITION TO: Mayor Osterholt and Members of the City Council FROM: Carl Jullie, City Engineer THROUGH: Roger Ulstad, City Manager DATE: October 1, 1975 SUBJECT: St. John's Wood Sixth Addition PROPOSAL: D. H. Gustafson and Associates, Inc., is requesting approval of the Final Plat of. St. John's Wood Sixth Addition. This is a multi-family residential plat located west of Baker Road and south of 62nd Street in Section 3. HISTORY: Zoning to RN 2.5 was finally read and approved on March 14, 1972, per City Ordinance No. 164. The Preliminary Plat was approved on September 25, 1973 per Council Resolution No. 768. VARIANCES: A variance from City Ordinance No. 93, $eC. 8, Subd. 1, of the the six month maximum time elapse between the approvalApproval Preliminary Plat and filing of the Final Plat is necessary. pP of this variance is recommended because the developer has proceeded with the project in a reasonable and efficient manner. UTILITIES AND STREETS: Municipal sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer will be available to all areas of the Plat. All streets will have concrete curb and gutter and full depth design bituminous surfacing. Outlot B shall be dedicated to the City to accomodate the future re- alignment of Baker Road as anticipated when the overall St. John's Wood Development was approved by the City. Such dedication is cxnsistent with what has been required from other major developers whose projects abut or encompass state and county highways and City Parkways and was required with the Final Plat approval of St. John's Wood Fourth Addition. Such dedication of Outlet B will-also relieve the developer from taxation on this parcel. The Hennepin County Highway Department recommends the dedication of Outlot B. PARK DEDICATION: Other than Outlot B above described, there will ha no land dedication for publ?c park or open space purposes within the Plat. A reasonable cash contriubtion in lieu of land, per City Ordinance No. 230, a�: • e - 2 - • can be based on 15% of the assessor's full and true value of the land being subdivided, as previously required under Ordinance No. 93. This contribution would be $1,395, based upon the land area of the Plat, ex- cluding Outlot B. BONDING: Sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer, concrete curb and gutter and paving have been completed by the developer, therefore bonding for utilities will not be required. A landscaping bond will be required. RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of St. John's Wood Sixth Addition, sub- ject to t1ie contents of'this report and the following: 1. Approval by the Hennepin County Highway Department. 2. Receipt of fee for City Engineering services in the amount of $240. 3. Satisfaction of cash payment in lieu of park dedication re- quirement. 4. Dedication of Outlot B to the City 5. Bonding for landscaping. • 1 Public Works Phone 935.3381 320 Washington Av.South,Hopkins,Minnesota 55343 • • HONNOPiN COUNTY • 26 September 1 9 7 5 Mr. Carl J. Jullie, P.E. City Engineer, Eden Prairie 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343 Dear Carl: We recently discussed a proposed improvement to Birch Island Road from County Road 67 to a point south. All the property abutting the proposed improvement on the west side is owned by Hennepin County and the property on the east side is privately owned except for a small parcel which is also owned by Hennepin County. You indicated that you plan to relocate the intersection of Birch Island Road and CR 67 about 75 to 80 feet east to bring Birch Island Road into CR 67 at right angles and improve the sight distance, which.is presently a problem. This would require the acquisition of private property on the east side. • We mutually agreed that because of the problems of assessment and right- of-way acquisition it would be best for Eden Prairie to develop the construc- tion plans, contract for the construction, and assess the county for work performed abutting the county property. On the basis of your rough estimate of $15.000 for the county's share of the improvement, I will recommend to the County Administrator's office that this amount be set aside in the 1976 Capital Improvement Budget to cover the assessment. Very i;.r" lu y yours, Herbert O. IU.ossner, P.E. County Engineer HOK:db cc: Stanley R. Cowie A. J.

II,A. This is a continued public hearing from the September 23rd meeting, being that the Council requested alternative cost spreads for consideration affecting the Neill Lake storm sewer plus some minor assessments in the northeast area and the street and storm sewer adjustments in the Scenic Heights area. Mr. Jullie has outlined alternatives for your consideration which are enclosed. The Council after considering these alternatives, will close the hearing approving the balance of the assessment roll es corrected and certify to the County Auditor by Resolution No. 1031A. II.B. Notices have been sent to the benefitted property owners on the Riley Lake road improvement. This public hearing was called as a result of the petition submitted requesting consideration of this improvement. We have also received bids for this improvement so that the cost can be one of an actual cost in quoting the total cost to the residents. If the Council chooses to order this improvement you could do so by Resolution No. 1036. Due to the large number of public hearings for the Council to consider regarding PUD and Zoning requests, we have included an attached summary of Planning Commission and Staff Reports for your convenience in reviewing the background material relating to each proposal. H.C. Mr. Brauer will be present to outline the proposed sector study and answer any questions the Council may have regarding this study.

Prairie Lawn and Garden request to rezone is not specifically covered by an approved sector plan;however, the Council did accept and file the 4/5 Study as a reference for future consideration of zoning requests in this area. If the Council proceeds to grant this request, it would be necessary to give a first reading to Ordinance No. 296 establishing a zoning district. R.F. The Hustad request is for PUD concept approval and rezoning a portion of the PUD to office. If the Council concurs with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff, it would be necessary first to adopt the PUD concept by Resolution 1039 and then followed by giving a first reading to Ordinance No. 297 establishing the office district in a portion of the PUD. II.G. Olympic Hills -The Council has approved the original PUD for this area and has previously zoned Phase 1 and 2 of the approved PUD.

The motion carried unanimously. The Commission then unanimously directed the staff to address the Garden King site. Meyers questioned what recommended future use there could be for the Garden King site. The planner stated it is presently zoned Rural and he would ask Brauer to address the problem. Motion 2: Meyers moved, Feerick seconded, to recommend the City Manager make an exception to the established public hearing policy and place the Modern Tire and Energy Systems requests for rezoning on the Council's August 26th agenda for the setting of a public hearing date. Discussion: Stmchuck again stated he did not favor any action that would affect his property.Fosnocht replied that the Commission is recommending future recommended land uses and not specific zoning for the Simchuck.property. Meyers felt the Commission should make more specific recommendatlons,i.e. an alignment to Homeward Hills Road, open space/greenway locations, no access from 169, parkway alignment to the west, etc. Vote: Motion 2 carried 4:1 with Sorensen voting nay. page 2 Memo-Summary of P. C. Actions 1. 169 Mini Sector Study , Continued Motion 3 To recommend adoption of the 169/Mini Sector Study with the exceptions listed in the first two motions, that of the east/ west road alignment and the Garden King Market site. Feerick asked the planner to clarify the zoning possible for Modern Tire and Clean Sweep. The planner said he would recommend I-2 Park with provisions as listed in the Brauer staff report. Crouch, attorney for Modern Tire, felt provisions on zoning other than what is contained in Ordinance 135 would be unenforceable. Meyers responded that the City attorney would advise the City. Sorensen did not feels zoning could be granted with different restrictions than other like zones in Ordinance 135 unless it was a PUD situation. Crouch read from Subd. 8.2, Ordinance 135; and stated he believes the Modern Tire use belongs in that subdivtsion-Industrial Park. Motion 4: Feerick moved, Schee seconded, to recommend to the City Council rezoning of the Energy Systems and Modern Tire sites to I-2 Park on the conditions of the upgrading of the properties to City ordinances, the resolution of a single access, a rezoning agreement to outline the commercial use of the II • properties to their particular use, and the removal of the•existing access to 169. The motion- carried 4:1 with Sorensen voting nay. September 29, 1975 Planning Commission Meeting Motion: Schee moved, Meyers seconded, to amend the 169 Mini Sector Study by Brauer & Associates as follows; 1. Retain the Garden King home site and adjacent lots as residential property not commercial. 2. Enforce the requirements of Ordinance 135 pertaining to non- conforming uses and clearly identify the fruit market as such a use. 3. At such time a: sewer and water are provided to the Sunnybrook area, platting and zoning of the Garden King home site and adjacent lots should be considered to an appropriate single family detached residential district. 4. Close Surnybrook Road when alternate access is available. 5.' Give further study to the impact of cul-de-sacing Creek Knoll Road. Memo- Summary of P. C. Actions page 3 169 Mini Sector Study, Continued 6. That the east/west collector road is necessary to allow • orderly and compattble future development of the total area. 7. That the east/west collector should connect with the northern Votech access road because of spacing from other streets, property served by the streets location, and connection with a major intersection. 8. That the long term use of lots. 3,4,5 and 6 should be non-residential as described in the 169 Study. The collector road design and alignment should be planned with this in mind. 9. That the timing of the east/west collector street should not be in advance of the need created by either the residential development east or the industiral development of parcels 3,4 and 6. 18. That alternates D, C, D are possible at a future date as a way of extending the east/west collector street. 11. That at the east/west collector street improvement, cost vs. benefit comparisions be prepared on the various alternatives. Amendment Meyers moved, seconded by Schee, to amend the motion by amending recommendation#9 to read; that the timing of the east/west collector street should not be in advance of the need created by either the residential development east or the industrial development of parbels 3,4 and 6 as defined on page 3 of the September 12th staff report. Vote: 5:1 , Sorensen voted nay. Sorensen indicated his no vote was based upon his disagreement with the non residential uses of 3,4 5, and 6 , but did agree with the staff report indicating a residential use for the Garden King Market site. - Memo- Summary of Planning Commission Actions page 4 2.

PRAIRIE LAWN & GARDEN September 29, 1975 Planning Commission Recommendations, Unapproved r {a Fosnocht moved, Feerlck seconded, to recommend alternative I contained in the September 18, 1975, staff report. The tecommendatlons'of the 4/5 Study pertaining to access and land use enables the Planning Commission and City Council to consider rezoning the entire 18 t acres as illustrated on the 4/5 land use • concept plan to I-2 Park requiring platting and design review for the ' industrial park prior to issuing building permits other than the Riegert property. This alternative will allow phased development of the 18 acre area , • perhaps beginning with the existing land uses which are now industrial office, or related minor commercial . This alternative would meet the terms of Ordinance 135 pertaining to I-2 Districts except for the minimum zoning area provision which requires 40 acres. This however, could be waived based on the site constraints , adjacent land use south of Highway 5 which is industrial , and the conformance with the reference 4/5 Study Report. • Mr. Riegert's land use as a small engine repair business , storage of parts and equipment, potential nursery,and mower sales, may be interpreted as an acceptable industrial use as It fits under Subdivision 8.2 fe • { Memo-Summary of Planning Commission Actions page 5 Prairie Lawn & Garden, Continued Permitted Uses, Subd, a and b. Also, the building should be designed to meet the :standards of the I-2 District which would not permit a metal building unless it meets provisions of Ordinance 135 , Subd, 2.7, Special Requirements, Design, #4, which states; "Factory fabricated and finished metal framed panel construction if the panel ,:material be any of the those named above. ;glass • prefinished metal,(other than unpainted galvanized irort,or plastic's. • This means the panel metal construction such as used in the Homart Shopping Center and not the metal pole building with a corrugated sheet metal siding as proposed. The building should be designed to provide for future industrial uses as well as the Riegert Lawn & Garden business. The sketch provided in the application of the site showing direct access to Highway S should - be revised to accommodate a revised road location acceptable with the City Engineering Department and the-Minnesota-Highway Department to group the Fuller Road and access to the 18 acre industrial park at one location. This would eliminate the individual access of Prairie Lawn & Garden to Highway 5. • Vote: 3:3 , (Schee, Boerger, Sorensen - nay), (Feetick, Meyers, Foanocht-yes ) The Commission decided to submit two recommendations, with 3-members suggesting alternate! and 3 members suggested alternate # 3 • 4.
