II. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. 1977 Community Development Block Grant, hint application for approximately
5 B00 of Federal funds to be used for eligible community projects.
Continued Public Hearing from January 4, 1977
City Planner Putnam explained that the Planning Commission, at their
meeting held January 10, endorsed the same projects as recommended
by the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission as described
in memo from Director of Community Services Jessen dated January 4, 1977.
Bob Hall, 15061 Summerhill Drive, asked the following questions:
1) How much area is going to be set aside for the actual playground?
2 How much money will be spent on the Edenvale area site? and 3)What
'will we have when it is completed?
Director of Commurity Services Jessen explained that the area is north
of Valley View Road and Edenvale Boulevard with a total of approximately
34 acres committed to the City. The City will be spending between
$15,000 and $20,000. At this time Fir. Jessen could not answer question
as to what playground equipment will be installed as all of the final
grading estimates have not been received and the City will first solicit
neighborhood input.

A. 1977 Community Development Block Grant (continued)
Mr. Hall further questioned if the residents would know what they
are going to end up with before the Edenvale site is completed.
Jessen replied that the first thing the City staff would do is get together
with people who live in Edenvale and who would use the facility the most
.through neighborhood meetings.
Mrs. Meyerhoff, 7055 Woodland Drive, questioned if the Edenvale site
would be non-profit. Jessen responded it would be City owned.
Mrs. Meyerhoff further asked if the City had thought of having the
Army Reserve do the grading. Jessen stated he would see if this could
be done as he has not explored this possibility in great detail.
Meyers questioned if we receive the total dollar amount and manage
to save some by using voluntegr labor, do we lose the money or can we
use it on additional projectse Putnam explained we do not lose the
money and that the City can use it for other projects if we like, or we
can use it for the project we have, i.e., play equipment. '
Bye expressed his disappointment that the tree replacement did not
come into strong consideration and asked if the Task Force had been
contacted. Jessen explained that staff has attempted to define a list
of projects that would be fundable. He further explained that he has
talked to a couple of people on the Forestry Task Force and their
opinions range from "I think we have budgeted money for that already and
spend this on other facilities in the City" to "We should get every
dollar for dutch elm replacement we can get". Jessen stated the Parks,
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission discussed this previously
and felt this money should be used for recreational facilities.
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Meyers, to close the Public
Hearing and adopt Resolution No. 77-9, authorizing submission of the
City of Eden Prairie Grant Application to Hennepin County for inclusion
in the Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Application,
in accord with the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, based
on the recommendations from the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
Commission and the Planning Commission. Motion carried unanimously.

City Manager Ulstad explained that this is a continued public hearing
from December 7, 1976, and referred to the signed petition dated
1/3/77 which listed the concerns of residents on Heritage Road. Particular
attention was paid to item 8 whereby the residents requested that the
builder meet with the property owners to see if an agreement could be worked
out which would be advantageous to all parties involved.

answered questions of Council members.

those being: 1) the disjointed northern alignment; 2) the alignment
to the south; 3) directly through the middle of the park; and
4) the northern route within the park.
Chris Enger, Landscape Architect, displayed a model of Round Lake
pointing out the recreational facilities approved by the Council
and spoke to 2 road alignments: 1) the direct route; and 2) the
northern route within the park.
Jessen explained that the School Board will be considering the
road alignments on Thursday, January 13, but felt the Council could
proceed with the grant application before proceeding with approval
of the road alignment.
Osterholt felt the $2,700 which is'proposed to be used for a boat
launch could be better used .for children in the Round Lake Park
area.
Tom Bartel, Eden Prairie News, asked what the difference in cost
would be between the 2 routes and who will be paying for it. Ulstad
explained that payment would be worked between the School District
and the City, and the difference in cost is about $100,000 (direct
route being $375,D00 and the northern route $475,000 just for road
construction costs).

t
Planning Director Putnam stated that the Planning & Zoning
Commission has recommended approval of these procedures. {
Perbix explained that if the Council approves generally of one
or all three of these procedures that have been presented, that
he would put them in a form for adoption and would not change
them substantially, but would change language to conform with
ordinance form.
Meyers requested several changes to be incorporated in the
procedures.
Osterholt questioned what the problems are with the procedures
we are using now. Perbix explained that we are putting
in a documented form what we are practicing now.
Pauly questioned why we couldn't just adopt these procedures
in the form of a resolution. Perbix explained that PUD's are
part of zoning and if we are going to enforce them they should be
in the form of an ordinance.
Osterholt asked if these procedures couldn't be done in
simplier language. Bye, too, expressed his opinion that the
language should be shortened and put in proper form.
Penzel explained that he has been talking to a number of people
in the development business and they have strongly urged the
adoption of a more formal document, preferably in the form of an
ordinance.

the staff and to the City Attorney with the suggestions made by

IV. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Request of Mark Allen Lewis to appeal the Board of Appeals & Adjustments
decision to dew a 20 foot setback on Lot 2, Block 3 Kings Forest Addition
to Stevens Heights.
Mr. Lewis explained that he was appealing the Board of Appeals & Adjustments
decision made on November 18 to deny his request for a 20 foot setback to
Lot 2, Block 3, Kings Forest Addition to Stevens Heights, and showed-slides
of his lot at the various setback stages.
Chief Building Inspector Blayne Sanders referred to his memo dated
November 17 to the Board of Appeals & Adjustments and to the minutes of the
Board of Appeals & Adjustments dated November 18, 1976. The Council
agreed that a 20 foot setback should not be granted.
Mr. Lewis said he would be willing to accept anything less than a 35 foot
setback, and asked what the Council would consider granting.
Bye explained that the Council was asked to rule on a 20 foot setback
as that was the setback requested by Mr. Lewis to the Board of Appeals &
Adjustments, and if Mr. Lewis is requesting another setback this matter should
go back to the Board of Appeals & Adjustments for their recommendation.
MOTION: Bye moved, seconded by Meyers, to refer the request of Mark Allen
Lewis back to the Board of Appeals & Adjustments based on the fact that
the proponent is now willing to accept a waiver of setback less than the
original request. Motion carried unanimously.

Recuest for variance from_required_front_yard setback at Lot 2,Block 3, Kings
Forest addition to Stevens Heights. (15202 Stratford)
Mr. Lewis spoke to Council action of December 14, 1976 where a 20 foot setback
was denied and at which meeting they could not act on anything except the 20 foot
setback, because they would be legislating action rather than reacting.
wedlund spoke to SECTION 19. Amendments, subdivision 19.5 Reapplication, and this
was discussed by the Board members.
Bldg. Inspector Sanders said that he had discussed this with City Attorney Perbix,
and it was agreed that it did not apply to variance applications.
Meyers added that the Council has always interpreted it as applying to strictly
zoning petitions.
Sorenson referred to first Motion made by Cardinal and its withdrawal during Nov IS,
1976 meeting, because it was contrary to Mr, Lewis"s request, and added that the
Board had tried to offer every option that they could regarding Mr. Lewis's wishes.
Lewis responded that he did not pick up this spirit, and asked what the Board could
offer other than the 35 ft. setback.
Sorenson explained that the sense of this body was 35 feet at that time, but nothing
less than that. He said they were considering the other lots and the overall plan that
would be in keeping with the Ordinance,.!

from 44 feet on his house to 35 ft on the proposed house.
should look to our prior action and what it was based on.
Sorenson added that the existing setback is 41.3 on Stratford Road and felt we
Meyers spoke to what the effects of granting a 30 foot setback would do to
existing average setback.
Wedlund asked Sandvick how he felt about a 30 foot setback for Lewis.
x
Sandvick responded that he felt it would set a precedent and opposes a 30 foot
setback. He said he believes that a tapering of houses is the only fair way to
go and that fill could be brought in at a 35 foot setback.
Sanders commented that the general area has greater setbacks, with most of the
homes in the 40's for setback, with the corner lot as the exception.
t
Cardinal commented tha if Lewis were granted a 30 foot setback, the other houses
would have to have 38 foot setbacks, creating a "zigzag" effect. Sorenson added
that the purpose of the Ordinance was that all houses would be built with the
intent that they would not block the view of others, and that at the time we
granted the variance on Lot 1, we requested that the owner angle the house so ther
there would be less of this kind of situation.
Meyers, referring to Minutes of the November 18, 1976 meeting, asked about a quote
on required aaount of fill needed for a 30 foot setback, which was 900 cubic yards,
and asked whether he knew how couch would be needed for a 35 foot setback. Lewis
responded that he wasn't sure but thought about double that amount would be needed,
Plus some trees would have to be removed.
Lewis asked permission to give a slide presentation of his land from various angles.
Board :embers asked various questions such as: distance of lot line markers - 60 feet;
type of trees that would be affected - oaks and maples; presence of water during a
normal spring - Sandvick commented that the trees in question would be in water.
MOTION: Cardinal moved to deny the petition with the following findings: Variance
does not comply with variance requirements; would cause drastic variance on setbacks
on the block, whether the houses are far apart or not; there would be a visual lack
of continuity; the variance is not justified by the topographical changes in the lot;
it is further not justified on an engineering basis; that further along there are
financial considerations; those considerations as applied to a lesser degree of
variance are not significantly substantial; that the granting of said variance would
constitute a divergence from the intent of the Ordinance of such a degree as to
violate the spirit of the ordinance and past interpretation thereof; the granting of
such a variance would deprive adjoining property owners of the benefits of the Ordi-
nance; and by allowing this variance would be a special privilege and by denying
the variance, it would not deprive Mr. & Mrs. Lewis of use of that property.
Sorenson added additional findings: that the average existing setback on this parti-
cular block is for 42.4 feet, and that under the Ordinance that is the point at which
the house should be built, that this body is concerned wuth total overall long range
impact of variance granting and we are not solely considering this particular lot but
remaining undeveloped lots on that road
3y z�

and the effects of granting a variance mould nave undeveloped lots. Wedlund
seconded, motion carried, with Sorenson abstaining, stating that his personal
feelings are that he feels the decision was the right one for the reasons given.
Cardinal commented that there has been nothing presented tonight to change his
mind about denying the variance and he feels strongly that if he were in Mr.
Sandvick's position and someone wanted to build in his area with that kind of
proposal, he would be very unapproving of that kind of petition.
Sorenson added his comments, that referring to Memo of November 17, item 6, re-
ceived from Sanders, from which a pattern for undeveloped lots was considered,
he would like their meeting to reveal, if it is consensus of this body, that a
long term pattern be adopted for this area for future reference by existing and
future landowners. He spoke to his concern with continuity in development process
and future Zoning Boards of Appeal and Councils.
Wedlund commented that he was sympathetic with Lewis and what he was trying to do,
and in his own mind, he would nave nothing against the proposal of a 30 foot set-
back, but in allowing, such a setback we would entrap Sandvick and also we cannot
dictate what will happen in the future.
Wedlund gsked whether they could ask the Planning Commission to take this block?
Sorenson responded that it has already been zoned and the setbacks are there, and
that the Planning Commission does not consider property already zoned.
Sanders added two general points: In the building business generally you draw a
straight line between two homes, and the new home should not exceed setback of that
�. line; and also when builders look at well established lot, it is priced accordingly,
figuring that they can add fill if necessary.
Meyers left at 9:10 PM.
There was general discussion on proposed Ordinance relating to Board of Adjustments
and Appeals and Amending Ordinance No. 135.
Wedlund moved to adjourn at•9:30 PM. Cardinal seconded, motion carried unanimously.

MEMO TO: Zoning Hoard Of Appeals And Adjustments
FROM: Wayne R. Sanders - Building Inspector
SUBJECT: Request for variance from required front yard setback at Lot 2,
Block 3, Kings Forest addition to Stevens Heights.(14202 Stratford)
The setback required pertains to Ordinance 135 Section 2.2(c) and is as
follows:
"Where 40% or more of a block is deftloped, the required setback shall
be equal to the average existing setback".
In this case the setback should be approximately 41 feet. Mr Lewis has
requested a 20 foot setback. Mr. Carl Jullie - City Engineer and I looked
at this lot and agreed that a house can be built at the 35 foot setback.
Attached are sketches made by Mr. Lewis showing some elevations in a cross
section. Some of the facts are:
> 1.)Front corner of lot at east side has an elevation of approximately 918.0.
2.)Invert of sewer extended to house line is approximately 913.5.
3.)Additional fill will be needed around house and at entrance to garage.
4.)Sewer can be run high in basement ceiling and out of basement side wall.
5.)A small sump pump can be installed in basement floor to raise laundry
water only up to sewer level.
6.)A setback of 35 feet would establish a setback pattern so that:
Lot 1 (corner'lot) is 30 foot setback.
Lot 2 (This lot) is 35 foot setback.
Lot 3 Next empty lot could be 40 foot setback and blend in with
Mr. Sandvicks front yard setback, Lot 4 at 44 feet.
Based on the above information I would recommend a variance to allow a
35 foot front setback.

Dear Mr. Ulstad;
It is my understanding that you recently discussed the matter of
issuance of a liquor license for a bowling alley with the Eden Prairie
City Council. I understand the City Council has indicated that a
license could not be granted for a bowling alley even with a restaurant
operation because that is the intent of the ordinance.
This matter is of utmost importance in the development of the Edenvale
Recreation Center. Since its inception, we have relied on the approval
of a bowling alley key use in this center. We have tried to market
this land for over a year for this use and it is readily apparent that
no bowling alley can be built here without the inclusion of liquor.
I therefore request to have the opportunity to discuss this matter
with the Council at the February 1, 1977 Council meeting to inform
the council of the effect this decision will have on our plans. I
hope to be able to resolve this issue at this time so that our efforts
will not have been wasted. Please place my name on your council agenda
on February 1, 1977 if at all possible because time is of utmost
importance.
Yours truly,
Donald R. Peterson

Mr. Roger Ulstad
City 1.ana[,cr, City of 3den Prairie
;den Prairie City Hall
8950 ;den Prairie eoad
;den Prairie, 'Minnesota 55343
Dear Mr. Ulsted:
Last Thursday, January 20, 1977, at a meeting of the Board of
Adjustments and Appeals, a cony of a proposed new ordinance amending sec-
tions 17.2, 17.4, 1.7.5 and 17.6 of Ordinance 135 eras presented to the
members of ttr board with the request that it be read and comments thereon,
if any, be directed to you.
Accordingly, my comments thereon are as follows:
1. I wonder whether the membership of the board should be. increased
from the present five (5) to seven (7). 11hile it is possible that a great-
er cross-section of viers could be obtained by increasing.. the number of
members, experience has not sho::m that the spectrum of views is too nar-
row with but five members. The key to securing a cross-section of vie:•rs
lies in the selection of board members, not necessarily in their number.
An increase in the number of board members night lessen the likelihood
that a quorum couldn't be obtained; however, I can recall but one instance
in the past two years that a quorum was not in attendance. Resolution
121,31s lanrua`r,e calls for boards and commissions to be comprised of not
more than seven members, but does not seem to require that all boards have
the maximum permitted number of members. (It perhaps should be noted that
the per:aissive statutory powers and duties provided in M.S.A. 9462.354
would scorn to make it ndviseable that the board have direct access to the
city attorney or perhaps that he be in attendance at the board's meeting.s
and/or that at least one of the board's members be 1learned in the law11.)
2. Unlike some of the other boards and commissions, there is no
prerenuisite of an extended term of residency in the City to qualify for
appointment. Pcrhap;, such a prerequisite ::rould serve a valid purpose,
v.iiile on the other hand it mi.l-ht deny the city the services of some unique-
ly qualified persons. 1y personal viewpoint is that arW unnecessary re-
t•Ir. Roger Ulstad
January 24, 1977 Page 2
strictions on membership would be unwise in that there presently are not
enough qualified persons ,rilling to serve the city on its various boards
and co:i1m ssions.
3. The lenrtheninr of the terms of office from one to three years
and the staggering of the terms vould seem to be a positive change. There
is a need for continuity in membershin so as to provide the benefit of ex-
pericnce and to place matters in their historical prospective.
k. I understand that the reason for having new board members' term
of office commence on March 1 of each year is to permit council members to
have an additional trro months' time folloving an election to contact,
evaluate and select appointees. There is merit in such a position; however,
there are some other factors to be weighed, such as the fact that normally
advisor, boards' terms are co-terminus rzth those of the elected official
or body and secondarily elections are only held every other year.
5. I have some strong personal reservations regarding the elimina-
tion of the council. l.iason mc:.iber and the plerning commission member from
this board. I bolieve these reservations are shared by the other members
of the present board. In the abstract, it may seem to be a good idea to
have a totally indeprndcnt board., to say nothing of the valid considera-
tion of th-i added time demands on the council and planning commission mem-
bers. Horoever, practice has sho,;n that it is highly desireable, and in
some instances indisnensib1c, to the board's decision-making process that
detailed knoul(�dge of past anti current council policies and planning de-
cisions, practices and projects he kno;m to the board. ',:mile consistency
in and of itsel:° is not necessarily a virtue, in fairness to the applicants,
the other affected property o::ners, and the citinens of the city, city pol-
icies should be lcno:n and eho'ald be consistently applied. If the board is
unable to have the randy access to this information by means of the council
and pl•,nnin_- commission members, another equally effective means should be
provi:lcd. A ronortinr system i•!ould not appear to be the answer. Joint
mcetin;;s pre not• timely nor have they nroved successful in the past,to say
nothing- of the combined time expenditure +.hich they required. This board
ie uniruc� in sore .:nys as it iti a fact-finding and decision-making body.
The city's position in any court case involving a decision of this body
would be .TcO:encd if this body and the council were to make different find-
inCs, and/or dcci.^•ion,. This po,csibility has been and i-rould be substan-
tially 3c7,;;enod by tho inclusion of council and planning commission
renrtn;_ntntivos as members of this board. Further, H.S.A. W2.354, Subd. 2
provides in port, "In <rrj municipality in which the planning agency does not
I1r. Rorer Ulstad
innuary 21„ 1977 Page 3
act as the board of adjustments .^nd appeals, the board shall make no
decision on an a.ppoal or petition until the planning agency, if there is
one, or a representative authorized by it has had reasonable opportunity,
not to exceed •A d..ys, to revict., and report to the board of adjustments
and apper:ls upon the appeal or petition." Compliance .,dth the letter and
intent of this, portion of the statute mould seem to be most easily accom—
plisbed in +he present form of having a plann;np commission member sit as
a member of the board of adjustments and appeals.
b. I find no reference to or an inclusion of the above quoted por—
tion of the applicable statute either in the present ordinance nor the
proposed amendments. Perhaps, it would be advisable to do so, so that it
would not be overloo':ed and could be taken into account in the operating
procedures of the board.
7. I also have reservations concerning the limitation of appoint-
ments to t,.:o full t.artns, etc. There are two basic reasons for n4' concern.
First, historically, it has been difficult to find persons ;:d.11in„ to
serve. Sccon6, continuity and experience arc provided by long term me^i—
bers. In r,y cxperienc; on various city boares and commissions, I can re—
call but ncnc:�.ps one person who irould have served longer than the proposed
limitation, i.e. 'alph Nesbitt on tha planninr. commission, -,..hose service
w�?s of treat ben^�-it to the city. To prevant such a person from rendering
continued service to the city because one councilherson z:.a.s opposed would ..
appear to be unreasonable. In the first piece, any appointment must pain
the vo cs o" thrr^,e of thel five councilpersons, which should be a sufficient
check on the sppointee's abilities. In setting up such a limitation, a
diff^rent st=dard i:ould be applied to people ,:rho have un,elfishly served
the city for a long period. I fail to understand the necessity for such a
limitation or the reason that certain appointments could be made by a ma—
jority of the council i;iiile others r,ould reouire a unanimous vote.
8. ':hilc "non--attendance" is stated to be a reason for removal of a
member from the board, there is no defi,ution of that constitutes "non.-
attendanco". Is it one nectin" ten mcctin;-s in three years, 25,, of the
meetin in nI�, calendar year, three consecutive mcetinrs, or i:.,hat other
strndar6. Also, the 1 n;ua e is permissive, i.e. "may" rather than man—
datory, i.c. "shall". Hors is this discretion to be exercised. Further,
this action is to be ta%cn by the board,rather than the council, according
to its rules. To sane extent, this powor mit7ht be used to defeat the
council`- armointmant noses-, for e•ample, by adoption of strict meeting
rcnuircm^nts b;l holdover members of a boara to remove nev appointments or
visa ver:;a.
?ifq
Mr. RoGer Ulstad page 4
January 24, 1977
9. The ineluaion of a time limitation for the filling of vacancies
is a good addition. iiosever, there is no provision to accomplish the ap-
pointncnt should the council not comply. In the past, certain boards have
had lonZ standing vacancies.
10. A Grammatical question, should the second "may" in line 2 of the
third paraLTaph on page 2 rather be 'need".
11, Should an additional sentence be added after the first sentence
of the third nararraph on page 2 to the effect that, "The board may elect
such oth.,r officers 'as they deem to be advisable." I have reference here
to a vico chairperson (rather than chairman) to conduct the meetings in
the absence of the chairperson, etc.
12. It appears that the proposed new subdivision 17.6 provides only
for review or appeal by an appellant or petitioner rather than also by'the
city council,as is presently the case. Is this an intended change?
13. I have difficulty underst•mdiner subd. 17.6 (2). Should the :cords
"to ect" in the second line thereof be striken?
14. At the last Board of ;1d justments snd "-ppeals meeting, there .-:as
a question as to �:,nether sulxiivision 19.5 of ordinance 135 applied to the
procedw•es of that board. The board ;:as informed that the city attorney
had ren6er^d an opinion that 5t did not. This opinion may have been based
upon the semi ate location cf 19.5 or from the onerative cord used therein,
It ;•ias the board's feelinr; that either 19.5 should be amen—
ded to specifically include its actions s:ithin the purvie.. of 19.5 or that
a scnarate provision should be inserted in Section i7 to restrict an ap
plicant or petitioner from making multiple anplicaticns over a short time
spin for the same or similar appeal or variance.
I i:•oltld hone that these comments are resnonsive to your request and
may be of some value in the consideration of the proposed amendments.

RILEY-PURGATORY CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT
CITY• OF EDEN PRAIRIE
Second Cooperative Agreement
Acquisition and Development of
Floodplain Lands Riparian to Purgatory Creek
I. PARTIES
The Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District (hereinafter
"Watershed District") and the City of Eden Prairie (hereinafter
"Eden Prairie") , acting by and through their governing bodies,
enter into this second cooperative agreement by reason of and in
recognition of the fact that the overall water and related land
management plans for the Watershed District will be affected by the
actions of Eden Prairie in acquiring and adopting or permitting land
uses or programs inconsistent with the Watershed District's overall
plan objectives for the protection, maintenance and enhancement of
the Floodplain, open space, greenbelt and recreational lands adja-
cent to the public waters areas of the district.
II. PROJECT AREA
The land area subject to this Agreement includes the lands
adjacent to Purgatory Creek in Eden Prairie, said lands being com-
prised of approximately sixteen and six-tenths acres and being gen-
erally located north of Valley View Road and bordering Purgatory
Creek on the west and being generally known as the "Lund property".
The lands that are contemplated to be acquired in accordance with
the terms and conditions hereof are generally shown on Exhibit A
attached hereto and made a part hereof. These lands to be acquired
3'iG3
can generally be described as mostly open, gently rolling land,
most of which are floodplain lands lying riparian to Purgatory
Creek. There exists approximately 400 feet of frontage of the
tract on Purgatory Creek.
III. OBJECTIVES
The Watershed District and Eden Prairie have as an objective
the retention of open space, greenbelt, natural, recreational and
floodplain areas of Purgatory Creek so as to preserve the same from
development which could be adversely affected by flood waters or
man-made construction and so as to also preserve floodplain and
wetlands and the existing natural settings, topography and vegeta-
tive nature of the lands immediately adjacent to the public water
areas. There presently exists no proposed or actual development
plans for this land area; however, its acquisition and ownership
by Eden Prairie is consistent and compatable with the Purgatory
Creek Open Space Corridor Study and Report prepared for and under
the authority and direction of the parties hereto. Bost of the
lands surrounding, the "Lund property" identified in Exhibit A
attached hereto are presently owned by Eden Prairie and another
purpose for acquisition of these lands is to provide a larger park
and open space area to be used primarily for passive recreational
purposes, including, however, the possibility of future trails.
Any future plan of development of this area and authorized land
uses shall be consistent with all overall plans and studies of
the Watershed District and Eden Prairie for this area.
?�(t,f 2
IV. OBLIGATIONS OF PARTIES
The acquisition of lands described in paragraph II is
required in order to continue a program to protect Purgatory Creek
and floodplain and wetland areas adjacent to the creek from incom-
patable development and to preserve to the fullest extent practi-
cable those lands and waters for public use and benefit. Since
the District recognizes the need to implement its overall plan
through cooperative projects with municipalities, and since cer-
tain lands in Eden Prairie are presently available for acquisition
through the cooperative efforts of the Watershed District and Eden
Prairie, it is hereby agreed that Eden Prairie shall assume the
,direct responsibility for acquisition of the lands generally shown
on Exhibit A. The Watershed District shall assist in the acquisi-
tion of these .Lands by sharing in the acquisition costs as herein-
after set forth.
The funds of the Watershed District available for coopera-
tive projects of this type are those obtained from the annual admin-
istrative expense fund levy of the District; therefore, there exists
the necessity for Eden Prairie to proceed as promptly as possible
to make the acquisition with the understanding that the District's
contribution to the acquisition is to be funded upon completion
of the acquisition of these lands. The lands are to be acquired
by Eden Prairie during the year 1977.
Eden Prairie hereby agrees that it will proceed with the
acquisition of these lands generally described in said Exhibit A
in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof; however, in
the event the Watershed District has previously paid monies to
3
a%:;
Eden Prairie for the acquisition of these lands and Eden Prairie
does not complete the total acquisition of said lands, Eden Prairie
hereby agrees to reimburse and hold harmless the Watershed District
for all costs and expenses incurred by the Watershed District in its
participation thereof.
V. ESTI14ATED ACQUISITION COST
The Watershed District shall assume and be responsible for
the payment of $5,500 to Eden Prairie. Eden Prairie represents
that the total acquisition cost is presently estimated to be
approximately $11,000. Eden Prairie's contribution toward the
acquisition cost is estimated to be $5,50.0. Any land acquisition
costs in excess of the estimated total cost shall be borne by and
be the sole responsibility of Eden Prairie, it being understood
that the Watershed District's sole financial obligation under this
Agreement is limited to $5,500 unless otherwise modified in
accordance with paragraph IX hereof.
VI. MFTHOD OF PAYMNT
The $5,500 payment by the Watershed District shall be eae
at the tine of closing of the property acquisition, or at the tine
of Eden Prairie City Council official acceptance of the commissioners'
award in the event condemnation proceedings have been commenced for
the acquisition of lands in the project area. Prior to making
payment, the Watershed District will be furnished a certification
by Eden Prairie that the acquisition contemplated by this Agree-ment
has been undertaken and completed or that the commissioners have
�i(�fu 4
made and filed an award in condemnation proceedings as commenced
by Eden Prairie and that such award has been officially accepted
by the Eden Prairie City Council. Upon receipt of the written
certification, the District shall promptly pay over the amount due
by check payable to the City of Eden Prairie.
VII. LAND DEVELOPMENT AND USE PLAN
Eden Prairie agrees to submit an overall land development
and use plan for the subject area to the Watershed District, which
plan shall be compatible with the terms and conditions hereof.
Further, said land development and use plan shall be consistent
with the floodplain regulations of the District. The Watershed
District shall review and comment upon Eden Prairie's plan prior
to an implementation of that plan.
VIII. PUBLIC AVAILABILITY
Eden Prairie agrees that these lands riparian to Purgatory
Creek Park will be available to all residents of the area and the
Watershed District, and that Eden Prairie will not restrict the
use of the areas to residents of Eden Prairie. It is recognized
that Eden Prairie may adopt regulations to cover usage of these
public lands and to impose reasonable charges for such usage of the
project area and its contemplated facilities in the event such
usages are included in any overall development plan to be proposed
in the future.
5
IX. DURATION
This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties through
and including the period required to complete the land acquisition
and project development. Additional commitments or time extensions
shall require a new agreement, and in the event it is anticipated
that the project will not be completed by the end of the year 1977,
Eden Prairie agrees to give notice of such fact on or before Septem-
ber 1, 1977 to the Watershed District in order that said fact can
be taken into account in developing the budget of the Watershed
District.
THIS AGREEMENT shall be in force and effect upon execution
by the parties in the manner set forth in a resolution of the re-
spective governing bodies approving the Agreement and authorizing
the execution of this document.

West 78th St. was not included in the original legal description of
the vacating proceedings. The W. Gordon Smith Co. has now requested
that the City proceed with a new vacation procedure so that they can
utilize this residue in their development plans.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 77-15
ordering a vacation hearing for March 1, 1977.

RE: Agreement with the Metro Waste Control Commission implementing
an industrial user sewer strength charge system.
Federal regulations for grants for waste treatment facilities require
that the cost of sewage treatment must be born by those who contribute
waste in relation to the "strength" of that waste. Of the various options
available for the City to be in compliance with these regulations, the
best one is to let Metro Waste monitor the strength, establish the strength
charge and collect the additional service fee, if any. Industry would
be required to periodically test their waste to determine if there is
excess strength.
In order to do this we should adopt Ordinance No. 77-1 and authorize
signing of a joint powers agreement with Metro Waste. Our only function
then would be to remit to the Commission any collections of delinquent charges
levied as a special-assessment.
The agreement is cancellable at any time 90 days prior to the expiration
of the 5 year terms of a 30 year agreement.
ORDINANCE NO. 77-1

HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA
j
ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING AN INDUSTRIAL USER STRENGTH CHARGE IN ADDITION
TO THE CHARGE BASED UPON THE VOLUME OF DISCHARGE BY AN INDUSTRIAL
USER AND ESTABLISHING AN INDUSTRIAL USER STRENGTH CHARGE FORMULA FOR
COMPUTATION TH;REOF TO RECOVER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS OF
WASTE TREATAENT SERVICES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE STRENGTH OF THE DISCHARGE
OF INDUSTRAIL WASTE INTO THE SEWER SYSTEM AND ESTABLISHING TAX LIEN
AGAINST PROPERTY SERVED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH STRENGTH CHARGE
BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie, County of
Hennepin, Minnesota, as follows.
Section 1. Recitals. The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission,
a metropolitan commission organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Minnesota (the "Commission"), in order to receive and retain
grants in compliance with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments
of 1972 and regulations thereunder (the "Act"), has determined to impose
an industrial user sewer strength charge upon users of the Metropolitan
Disposal System (as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 473.121, sub-
i
division 24) to recover operation and maintenance costs of treatment works
attributable to the strength of the discharge of industrial waste, such sewer
strength charge being in addition to the charge based upon the volume of
discharge. In order for the City to pay such costs based upon the strength
of industrial discharge and allocated to it each year by the Commission, it
is hereby found, determined and declared to be necessary to establish sewer
strength charges and a formula for the computation thereof for all industrial
users receiving waste treatment services within or served by the City.
Furthermore, Minnesota Statutes, Section 444.075, Subdivision 3, empowers
the City to make such sewer charge a charge against'the owner, lessee, occupant
or all. of them and certify unpaid charges to the county auditor as a tax lien
against the property Scrved.
Section 2. Establishment of Strength Charqes. For the purpose of paying a
the costs allocated to the City each year by the Commission that are based upon
the strength of discharge of all industrial users receiving waste treatment
services within or served by the•City, there is hereby approved, adopted and
established, in addition to the sewer charge based upon the volume of discharge,
a sewer charge upon each company or corporation receiving waste treatment
services within or served by the City, based upon strength of industrial waste
discharged into the sewer system of the City (the "Strength Charge").
Section 3. Establishment of Strength Charge Formula. For the purpose
of computation of the Strength Charge established by Section 2 hereof, there is
hereby established, approved and adopted in compliance with the Act the same
strength charge formula designated in Resolution No. 76-172 adopted by the
governing body of the Commission on June 15, 1976, such formula being based
upon pollution qualities and difficulty of disposal of the sewage produced
through an evaluation of pollution qualities and quantities in excess of an
t
annual average base and the proportionate costs of operation and maintenance
of waste treatment services provided by the Commission.
Section 4. Strength Charge Payment. It is hereby approved, adopted
and established that the Strength Charge established by Section 2 hereof
shall be paid by each industrial user receiving waste treatment services and
subject thereto before the twentieth (20th) day next succeeding the date of
billing therof to such user by or on behalf of the City, and such payment
thereof shall be deemed to be delinquent if not so paid to the billing entity
before such date. Furthermore, it is hereby established, approved and adopted
that if such payment is not paid before such date an industrial user shall
pay interest compounded mon:.nly at the rate of two-thirds of one percent (2/3a)
per month on the unpaid balance due.
Section 5. Establishment of Tax Lien. As provided by Minnesota
Statutes, Section 444.075, Subdivision 3, it is hereby approved, adopted
and established that if payment of the Strength Charge established by
Section 2 hereof is not paid before the sixtieth (60th) day next succeeding
;Y
the date of billing thereof to the industrial user by or on brhalf of the City,
said delinquent sewer strength charge, plus accrued interest established
pursuant to Section 4 hereof, shall be deemed,to be a charge against the
owner, lessee and occupant of the property served, and the City or its agent
shall certify such unpaid delinquent balance to the county auditor with
taxes against the property served for collection as other taxes are
collected; provided, however, that such certification shall not preclude
the City or its agent from recovery of such delinquent sewer strength charge
and interest theron under any other available remedy.
Section 6. Severability. 2n the event any provision of this
ordinance shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
any other provision hereof.
Section 7. Effectiveness. This ordinance shall take effect
immediately.
Section 8. Metropolitan Waste Control Commission Resolution No. 76-172.
WHEREAS The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission did, on April 21, 1976,
hold a public hearing on the Commission's proposed Strength Charge System
with Mr. Robert A. Hillstrom, Attorney-at-Law, the designated Hearing
Officer; and
WHEREAS Such Public Hearing was held in the Metropolitan Council Chambers
after due notice of such hearing was properly mailed and/or distributed to
pertinent concerned parties and to the users of the system whose waste
strength discharges exceeded the metropolitan disposal system average; and
WHUU:AS The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission has now in hand the Public
Hearing Officer's "Report on the Evidence Adduced at the Public Hearing",
inclusive of specific findings and recommendations; now, therefore,
HR IT RESOLVED That the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission hereby approves
the Public Hearing Officer's report and findings and adopts tha following:
1. The Metropolitan waste Control Commission Strength Charge System
as recommended by the Hearing Officer and determined annually by
application of (a) plant unit process evaluations, (b) current
quality control data, and (c) current budgeted operation and,
maintenance costs for the treatment facilities.
2. The basic Strength Charge System formula as follows:
A) Strength Charge Formula
SCF = SR ( Rss (SS-SSo) + Rcod (COD-CODo) )
SSo CDOO
where:
SCF Strength Charge Factor
SR Strength Phase Ratio (Strength costs to system costs
for administrative and 0 & M of treatment works)
Rss Suspended Solids Cost Ratio
Rcod - Chemical Oxygen Demand Cost Ratio
SS Suspended Solids Concentration of Discharge (SS>SSo)
SSo - Suspended Solids Concentration of Base
COD = Chemical Oxygen Demand Concentration. of Discharge(CODZCOD,')i.
CODo Chemical Oxygen Demand Concentration of Base
B) Strength Charge
SC = (SCF) (V) (TW)
Where:
Sc = Strength Charge
SCF m Strength Charge Factor
V = Volume of Discharge
TW Treatment Works Unit Cost

D. Report of Finance Director.
1. Clerk's License List.
Mr. Gould requested the Council renew his license for
a private kennel even though some of his neighbors
were against it. He presented about 18 letters from
friends and neighbors stating his dogs are not vicious.
He said a lot of money has been spent to build up the
kennel, that he cleaned the kennel three times a week,
and did try to keep his dogs' quiet.
Mr. Harvey Hladky said he wanted to see the letters
presented to the Council.
Mr. Dale Evans stated Mr. Gould's license when first
now
issued was for only 12 dogs and there are many
more and they howl at all hours of day and night. He said
Mr. Gould (1) could not be trusted (2) could not handle
his dogs (3) b::at the dogs (4) electrocuted them if
they barked and (5) had some of the dogs trucked away
in the, last few: days. i;r. Evans presented a letter from
his Veterinarian rc;Earding an incident :hire one of the
dogs got loose and attacked Evan's pet lamb so viciously,
the lamb had to be put to sleep.
Officer Wall inspected the kennel in question without
the owner's pe.m ission and walked among the dogs without
being bit. He said if all ordinances were to be enforced,
most of thi: p::ople at the meeting compiniring of the dogs
would be in trouble. Thore were junked cars in front of
one house and in the yard of another, tcn to twelve hors;:s
on a one-acre lot.
Mrs. Pauly mentioned a similar experience with a dog
attaching one of th air pet lambs and yet the dog showed
no other signs of being vicious.
Mr. Hladky said it was not just the lamb incident, but
the dogs howl all the time and disturb the neighbors.
Also, the sane dog killed a neighbor's cat.
Mrs. Meyers asked Mr. Gould how the dog got loose, how
long the dog was loose and if the if the dogs were being
mistreated.
Mr. Gould said the harness clip broke as it was rusty
allowing the dog to get loose. The; dog was loose for
only a fcw hours as lie couldn't catch it by himself.
He denied mistreating the dogs and stated he uses a

heir thick fur, it does not hurt them - just stings. It is an appro-
.ed dog-handling practice. lie told tho Council he got rid of dog
involved in the lamb incident the same day and triod .to replacee tha
Evans' lamb, but 1•ir..Evans would not accept the lambs. ;
Mayor Osterholt asked 14r. Gould why he had more than the 12 dogs
originally approved. 11r. Brent Prciaise, representing 11r. Gould,
stated the original license was for 12 dogs, but after six months,
he received approval for 18 dogs. The reason there are more dogs
is some of them are under six months old and arc f rom the litters
of his dogs.
Mr. Karl Kurtz *said the dogs are noisy.
11r. Perbix suggested Officer Wall check the situation every so often.
14r. Evans stated in Decenber of '72, they appeared before the Council k
to state their opposition to renewal of his license. The Council
set up a private mooting, hoerover, they were unable to attend. lie
said they did not receive notice that Nr. Gould was grantad permission
to have more dogs.
firs. Stenehjam stated the dogs do howl just before they arc to be fed,
but she does not, find it offensive.
'1rs. 1leyors ncicod if there eras an cnclosuro for the dogs I•rhile being
ni.tched to the sled so theyy could not get loose. 11r. Gould said he
does not have ouch an onclosurc.
ldayor Osterholt asked if each dog was licensed and 11r. Gould replied
they weren't, but he would do so if required.
11r. Evans stated he was not out to do harm to 14r. Gould, but wanted
the: dogs out of thc�ra and offered to let him use his truck to do this
