MEMO
TO: Mayor Penzel and Members of the City Council
THROUGH: - Roger Ulstad, City Manager
FROM: Carl Jullie, City Engineer
DATE: February 5, 1976
SUBJECT: Swendseen Gravel Mine
An application has been submitted by Johnson Bros. Corporation for a mining
permit to resume mining operations at the previously operated pit located
on the Swendseen property at the northwest corner of Valley View Road and
Washington Ave. i
i
The applicant has submitted a brochure dated December, 1975, prepared by
Gerald M. Sunde, which describes in detail the proposed mining operation.
HISTORY
A permit to remove earth from the site was granted to Carl Swendseen on
September 8, 1954. An agreement was signed November 13, 1962, by the prop-
erty owners and representatives of the City approving the continuation of
a gravel mine operation on the property. A proposed grading plan was sub-
mitted as part of the agreement. All mining was anticipated to have been
completed by December 31, 1965.
From 1965 through 1974, several operators removed material from the mine.
The permit was not renewed in 1975 because of the owner's inability to find
an operator.
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
The operator is intending to lease the site on a year to year basis. The
total estimated plan volume is under 500,000 cubic yards, and there will be
no permanent screening, washing or a processing plant installed on the site.
The site is proposed to be graded to a gradual slope of approximately 1.7%
toward the northwest. The Froposal states that wooded areas will be pre-
served.
The proposed grading plan conforms with the originally accepted plan and
provides for additional retention of surface water runoff.
The Eden Prairie Planning Commission reviewed the proposal on January 26,
1976, and a.copy of their minutes is attached. The Planning commission rec-
ommended approval of the mining permit but directed the staff to further review
the schematic land use plan which was included with the application. A copy
of the City Planner's Report on this land use aspect is attached.
2
RECONI4ENDATION
It is recommended that the City council approve the mining permit request
of Johnson Bros. Corporation to operate a gravel mine on the Swendseen
property at the northwest corner of Valley View Road and Washington Ave.
in accordance with the application brochure dated December, 1975, by
Gerald M. Sunde, subject to the following:
1. Approval by the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District.
2. Approval of the proposed grading work does not imply approval
by the City of the schematic development or land use plan
included with said application.
3. Receipt of $2,500 application fee plus $500 annual license
fee, $10,000 performance bond and a letter of agreement on
behalf of Johnson Bros. corporation to guarantee that the
the City will be reimbursed for all restoration costs which
could occur to the City in excess of the $10,000 bond amount.

TO: Mayor and City Council
Planning Commission
FROM: Dick Putnam, Planning Director
DATE: February S, 1976
SUBJECT': Future Development Plan for Swendseen Gravel Permit Application
The Planning Commission at their January 26th meeting reviewed the Johnson
Brothers and Swendseen Gravel Permit Application. At that time they directed
the staff to prepare a recommendation to the City Council concerning the
future development plan for the Swendseen parcel.
The plan submitted labeled figure 2 in the Gravel Permit Application was
not acceptable to the Planning Commission as it does not conform to the
Lake Smetana Sector Plan adopted by the City ( Resolution 900 ). e
The gravel application states in item j;
" A proposed land development plan covering the area to be altered
or mining site.
The conceptual final development plan for the site is shown in
figure 2 . When the mining activity is completed top soil salvaged
on site will be placed on this site . The area will be planted 1
to grass to limit erosion by wind and water. It should be
understood that this is interium action until such time
that the land is developed. "

Page .2
Figure 2 with lots A-F and parcel 800 illustrate a proposed industrial plan
which is not in conformance with the lake Smetana Sector Plan. Lots A-F
` are served with a loop industrial road from Valley View Road to Washington
Avenue. No provision is made for proposed extension of Shady Oak Road
from Highway 212 interchange'to the proposed Valley View interchange with
Comity Road 18.
Parcel 800 is shown as having a Rural zoning and no development plan is
indicated.
The Planning Commission and staff would recommend that the graphic from
the Lake Smetana Plan and explanation of the areas affecting the Swendseen
property be included in the Council approval of the gravel mining permit
replacing the proposed plan (figure 2).
The Smetana Plan states;
Area ;9
Parcel 9 Approximately 27.5 acres,Is currently split by
Valley View Road. The construction of new Shady Oak
Road connecting with the Valley View Interchange will
split the Swendseen properties north of Valley View Road.
Through vacation of existing Valley View Road and the
development of one Industrial area office warehousing
would be anticipated as currently exist In the Norseman
Industrial Park. Continuation of West 74th Street to the
south behveen Washington Avenue and new Valley View Rd.
Would provide primary access.
Area :10 '
Parcel 10,approximately 15 acres,. currently bisected
by Washington Avenue,Is created with the new extension
of Shady Oak Road . The parcel would have access
from re-located Washington Avenue and would be usable
for office warehouse and limited highway service commercial
/. servicing the needs of the.commercial and residential
areas. No access to parcel )0 from Shady Oak Road
other than an in-out would be anticipated to reduce
caVestion near the Valley View Interchange.
Area • 2
The 142 acre semi-developed industrial area north of new
Shady Oak Road , bordered by Plying Cloud Drive,-
provides the largest single industrial acreage in the Lake'
• Smetana Sector. Currently some large industri;.;plants;
Research Inc., Transitor Electronics, and Physical
Electronics, are located in the northeastern area of parcel
12. Belmar Industrial Park along Hamilton Road is
i
currently under development with predominately 2 acre
office/warchousefilight manufactnring structures. Other
office/warehouses along Washington Avenue utilize the
existing F.dina utilities.

Area :21 A.B.C. & D
These areas,totally about l I l acres,offer the best. Al"t_1 A
opportunity for residential development within the
Smetana Lake Sector. Because of the seclusion provided
by major roads, creek valleys, and'heavily wooded '��-
edges,as well as the Isolated knolls existing In the area, 's4-` V1
excellent housing sites are created. The ability to
c separate traffic on existing Valley View Road and a new `
north/south residential street connecting with Shady Oak
f'Y�C
Road would provide the separation of vehicle traffic
necessary to accomplish a high quality residential area.
Residential usage if coordinated with the terrain's heavily `
wooded character should produce a quality living environ
=ment unequa.ed in accessibility to regional freeways
:. as well as employment , shoppir , and recreation oppor- }. s'
tunities. A 1
Great care must be taken in the choice of unit types
c which may vary from single family detached to mid-rise
apartments or condominium units. The density trade- �7
off option with flood plain and lowland, transferring / tt1.
those densities to building sites,would seem appropriate. i
-Likewise the pending areas to filter and provide storage
for the industrial run-off systems will be required prior
r:to discharge Into the creek. All of the resideniai sites
surround the Nine Mile Creek flood plain which would ,
:.allow the opportunity for passive recreatlaq as well as '
'potential limited active field recreations based within
the perimeter of these sites. `'' "`"°
Area D was included In the Major Center Plan and
suggested for higher density housing which is consis-
-'tent with the Smetana Lake Plan.Al
Memo-Swendseen Gravel Mining Permit, proposed land uses Feb. S. 1976
page 4
The importance of Shady Oak Road is discussed on page 23 of the Composite
Flan where it states;
" Urban arterials through Smetana Sector comprised of Shady Oak
Road between the intersection of the U.S.212/169 and County
Road IS. and the new relocated Valley View Road from Shady
Oak to the MCA Route. These high capacity 20,000 * AOT urban arterials
may . require channelization and at their intersection
points and signalization to facilitate the high volumes
anticipated. These facilities would require a minimum of
80 feet to loo feet of right-of-way to be constructed at no
less than a 9 ton design with 4 lane section. The plan
estimates approximately 2.3 miles or 12,200 lineal feet of
such roadway required . Designation of these routes currently are
county roadsand would be anticipated to retain such designations."
Another item of concern will be the split in the Swendseen property with
residential and industrial uses. The split will somewhat be decided by
the road alingments of Shady Oak and if Valley View Road is realigned in
the future. Most certainly residential uses , possibly multiple family,
and industrial and commercial uses would be possible on portions of the
Swendseen property as schematically indicated on the Smetana Lake graphic.
RECAA41ENDATION .
The Planning Commission and staff recommendation to the City Council is that
the Smetana Lake Sector Plan be substituted in the approvals of the Swendseen
gravel application in lieu of figure 2 Plan•Possible Development Plan
prepared by G.M. Sunda Consulting Engineer.

M r. Sonde informed Lhe Commission that the previous mining permit expired
and Johnson Brothers desire to gain a new permit. He then showed the existing
and proposed grading. He stated the watershed is reviewing the permit and
that Mr. Swendseen plans to ultimately market. the property as industrial.
Dearman asked if the garbage has been cleaned off the property. Olson said yes.
Dearman then inquired if the proposed land use plan conforms to the Co. Rd. IS/
169 interchange shown in the Smetana Lake Plan. The planner responded it
does not conform to the Smetana Lake Plan and he would recommend approval of
the permit but not the land uses proposed.
Motion I
Fosnocht moved, Sundstrom seconded, to recommend approval of the grading permit
by Johnson Brothers Incorporated for the Swendseen property based on the
Gravel Mining Permit Report dated December, 1975. The motion carried unanimously.
Motion 2:
Fosnocht moved, Lynch seconded to refer the proposed land uses for the Swendseen
property to the staff for a report for tha Council and Planning Commission.
The motion carried 3:1 with Dearman voting nay because of his objections to
the Smetana Lake Plan.

DATE: February 5, 1996
SUBJECT: priorities for MSA Street Improvements
The attached sheet shows a tabulation of street improvements needed or
very desirable within the next five years which will require expenditure
of the City's Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds. The projects are listed
in an order of priority which we believe is appropriate at the present
time.
As can be noted, it will not be possible to fund all of the listed proj-
ects within the next five years. Accordingly, we would ask that the
Council review this list and determine the appropriate priorities so that
certain feasibility studies and design work now in process can be completed
and/or adjusted to reflect such priorities.

SUBJECT: Co. Road 4 Bikeway/Hikeway
DATE: February 6, 1976
We have completed a more detailed analysis of the proposed bikeway along
Co. Road 4. Attached is a schematic trail location map which shows the
trail lying west of Co. Road 4 throughout the entire length of Eden Prairie
with the exception of that part lying north of Purgatory Creek up through
Birch Island Lake Park.
The estimated cost of the entire bikeway system on both sides of the road is
i
approximately$112,000. The cost of that part of the trail lying west of Eden
Prairie Road is approximately $96,000.
As you know, we have previously been allocated $67,000. from the Federal
Aid to Urban (FAU) Fund for the bikeway leaving a net cost to Eden Prairie of
$30-$45,000.
I've discussed this matter with representatives from the Hennpin County High-
way Department and can report the following:
1. They see no problem or conflict between the existing shoulder/trails
whict+ they have installed along Co. Road 4 north of 5 and the proposed
Eden Prairie bikeway/hikeway system. Art Lee said that they would be
very happy to eliminate the shoulder/trails in favor of the separated trail
along this route. Mr. Lee is of the opinion that by separating the con-
flict users (bikes from cars) the capacity of 4 can be maximized thus
extending it as a rural section as long as possible.
2. Placement of the bikeway/hikeway surface within the Co. Road
right.of-way is completely acceptable and they are willing to work
with us for a desirable placement of the trail within that right-of-way.
3. The County Public Works Department has proposed in their capital
budget an allocation for participation with municipalities in constructing
trails within or adjacent to Co. Road right of ways. From this fund,
if approved by the Board, they would pay up to 50% of the local share
as a direct grant to the municipality for construction and installation
of bikeways.

Based on this information, it would appear that our current financial situation
could look very desireable and might be summarized as follows:
Total Project Cost $96,000.-$112,000.
1975 FAU Funding $67,000.
Local Share $29,900.-$45,000.
Possible Co. Participation $14,500.-$22,500.
Net Local Share $14,500.-$22,500.
1976 Community Develop- $14,500.-$22,500.
ment Allocation
In the process of final construction design and specifications the need for
some outside techanical services may be necessary. Surveying of right-of.
way of final trail locations and final engineering drawings may have to be done
by an outside consultant because of limited staff availability. We would
suggest that Chris Enger would be responsible for the overall supervision
and development of the design, but the availability of technicians to do
selected assignments within this overall process may be necessary. The
potential cost of these services could be us pt $6,000. (as estimated by the
staff).
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the above, I would recommend as follows:
1. The Council should direct the staff to prepare the necessary final
design plans and specifications for the construction of the bikeway
as shown on the attached map.
2. The Council should authorize the staff to secure the necessary outside
technical services for the preparation of the final design, plans and
specifications.
3. The Council should direct the staff to prepare an application to the
Hennepin County Highway Deapartment for funding the proposed trail.
4. The Council should direct the staff to contact the adjacent landowners
as to the necessary right of way (if any) in the proposed construction
plan.

5. The Council should direct the staff to resubmit the Co. Road 4 bikeway/
hikeway for 1976 FAU Projects (this is necessary because the new fiscal
year for FAU Funding will begin shortly and the necessary contracts and
obligations may not be committed prior to that time and as such we may
loose our FAU eligibility if we don't request this 6tention).

Honorable Mayor and City Council
c/o Roger Ulstad, City Manager
City of Eden Prairie
8950 Eden Prairie Road
Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343
Honorable Mayor and City Council:
The conditions on the zoning ordinance approving the Edenvale Plaza
Shopping Center and the intersection of Valley View Road and Mitchell
Road placed a time limit on the start of construction to February 20,
1976.
Due to several factors such as the general economic conditions, the
shortage of mortgage money, the high cost of construction and the entrance
of a competing shopping center at Highway 5 and County Road 4 have made it
impossible to start the center within the time established. We are
presently negotiating with a developer who feels that they can obtain
the needed leases to make the center economically feasible. This may
require a phased construction program to coincide with the growth of
the community.
It looks like we should know these answers within six months and allowing
six months for construction plans and six months for financial arrangements
would make an 18 month period to commencement of construction. We
therefore, request an extension of the existing conditioned zoning commit-
ment to June 30, 1977. At that time, if we are successful in our efforts,
construction should be underway. I might add that without the zoning
commitment remaining in effect, it would make a difficult job almost
impossible. We respectfully request this extension of zoning to June 30,
1977.
Yours truly,
EDENVALE, INC.

SUBJECT:, STATUS OF M.A.M.A.-I.U.O.E., LOCAL NO. 49 IMPASSE
INFORMATION
The M.A.M.A. Negotiating Committee's letter to you of January 23, 1976
which included a copy of the Bureau of Mediation Service's Certification
of Impasse, indicated that another mediation session would be scheduled
in the near future.
On January 27, 1976 the M.A.M.A. Negotiating Committee requested in writing
such a meeting in order to continue efforts to resolve the impasse.
Failure of the parties through mediation to resolve the dispute prior to
February 7, 1976 will result in the union having the legal right to strike
since M.A.M.A. will not agree to arbitration.
At present there is no indication that the union members will engage in a
strike either in whole, involving all twenty-one municipalities covered by
the Joint bargaining, or in part by the employees of certain municipalities.
ACTION NEEDED j
1. As per the strike contingency plans given to each municipality, your
Committee urges that you:
a. Send a letter to all Local No. 49 bargaining unit employees involved
in this impasse in your community; and
b. Post a copy of this letter.
A suggested sample copy is attached. This letter is not meant to be all
inclusive, but represents the first communique with your Local No. 49
bargaining unit employees regarding the impasse and information regarding
what may follow.

DATE:
TO: All Employees in the City of
I.U.Q.E., Local No. 49 Bargaining Unit
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: CERTIFICATION OF IMPASSE IN NEGOTIATIONS
On January 22, 1976 the Director of the Bureau of Mediation Services declared
that an impasse has been reached in negotiations between the City and I.U.O.E.,
Local No. 49. In accordance with the Public Employment Labor Relations Act
(P.E.L.R.A.) of 1971, as amended, if the City chooses not to go to binding
arbitration by February 6, 1976 employees in the I.U.O.E., Local No. 49 bargain-
ing unit will have the legal right to strike after February 6.
A strike is defined by P.E.L.R.A. of 19710 a:: amended, in 179.63, Subd. 12 as
follows:
"Strike" means concerted action in failing to report for duty,
the willful absence from one's position, the stoppage of work,
slowdown, or the abstinence in whole or in part from the full,
faithful and proper performance of the duties of employment for
the purposes of inducing, influencing or coercing a change in the
conditions or compensation or the rights, privileges, or obliga-
tions of employment."
In the event that any employees in the bargaining unit represented by I.U.O.E.,
Local No.. 49 do strike, wages during the strike period cease. In addition,
striking employees do not continue to accrue any of the existing fringe benefits,
nor can they use any such benefits. This includes, but is not limited to the
following benefits, as examples:
1. Holiday Pay
2. Vacations
3. Sick Leave
4. Retirement Contributions
g. Seniority
As indicated above, during a strike all wages and benefits stop. However,'
striking employees will be given an opportunity to pay for continuance of
insurance premiums as they come due. Therefore, any employees participating
in a strike may make arrangements with the City to pay their own insurance
coverage if they wish this coverage to extend during the strike period.
