Anderson - Swendseen This letter is written for the purpose of transmitting to you the Swendseens' reply to the proposal made in your presence yesterday • by Mr. Anderson with respect to the proposition to purchase from the Swendseens an additional triangle of land on the westerly boundary of the original site for which he has requested a building permit so that a comparable triangle could be taken from the southeasterly corner of the subject site for the purpose of altering the right of way of existing Valley View Road to make a diamond inte—:hange from Washington the option in the City to acquire the southeasterly triangle for road right of way from him at his costs of acquisition. At that meeting it was understood that I and the other representa- tives of the Swendseens who were then present would take up that proposal with the Swendseens and advise you of their reply to same by letter. - This will advise you that that proposal is generally agreeable to the Swendseens upon the following assumptions: 1. That the North-South road alignment for the remaining Swendseen property in the Northeast Quarter of Section 12 be defined as same would traverse the Swendseen property from its south line to its north line, and that the Eden Prairie City Council would initiate proceedings to rezone the remaining Swendseen land to I-2 zoning. 2. That the westerly line of the additional triangular parcel to be included by Mr. Anderson is a suitable location for the North-South road traversing the Swendseen property as it would originate from the South Line of the Swendseen property and follow the westerly line of the triangular parcel to be additionally purchased by Mr. Anderson. Reference is made to the maps and surveys which were used to illustrate the proposal made by Mr. Anderson yesterday for the specifics of what I have previously discussed in this letter. Thank you for your willingness to meet with us and to discuss the Page 2 Mr. Roger Ulstad November 22, 1977 • details of working out an arrangement which adequately deals with the varied interests and requirements of the principals involved in the bringing of this desirable industrial development to the City of Eden Prairie. Yours very truly, i" William B. Odell WBO/dab • • • • • 59? • MEMO • • TO: Planning Commission FROM: Carl Jullie, City Engineer DATE: December 2, 1977 SUBJECT: Richard Anderson Property Northwest Corner of Valley View Road and Washington Ave. Rezoning Request The City Staff has been negotiating with Mr. Richard Anderson, the pur- chaser of 5.78 acres at the northwest corner of Valley View Road and Washington Avenue, in order to obtain the necessary right-of-way for a realignment of Valley View Road to provide a direct connection to the approach of the County Road 18/Valley View Road diamond interchange. The attached drawing shows the location of the property involved. We will be recommending to the City Council that the City enter into a purchase agreement for approximately one acre of land necessary for the realignment. One of the conditions of the purchase agreement will be the rezoning of the 22 foot wide strip from rural to I-5 Park a..?jacont to the ::xisting zoning limits. Mr. Annorson will then purchase the ad- ditional property which he needs to support the buildings proposed. This seems to be a very equitable arrangement and will help solve what has been a very difficult access problem for the City staff and property owners to deal with. Accordingly, we request that the Planning Commission consider a positive recommendation to the City Council regarding the rezoning of said 22 foot parcel. The legal description of the 22 foot parcel is attached hereto.

Site is located NW end Bryant's Long Lake. A continued public hearing. The Planner stated the staff is suggesting the east/west road in the plat • Lave 60' right-of-way to allow construction of a 32-36' wide street of 2 lanes. In addition to the 60' ROW, the staff is recommending the developer place in a road of 30' width with a cul-de-sac at the bottom of the hill , and construction of a trail 8 ' wide . The Planner reviewed the background information from 1974-1976 regarding the Crosstown extension and alterante access for Beach Road residents. Lynch expressed concern that once the residents are along the 30' wide street, it will be very difficult to upgrade the street to a collector and connect through to Rowland Road. Sundstrom inquired what other benefit, than allowing resident access to Bryant Lake Park , the proposed bridge over 1-494 would serve. The Planner replied such a bridge would allow the Beach Road residents access to the west without having to use regional freeway systems. lynch asked if decibel readings had been taken recently at the site. The Planner stated the most recent readings were taken in the approximate location of lot 13, at a reading of 69 decibels. The Planner stated the staff is reconunending approval of the rezoning and preliminary plat contingent upon the staff report and inclusion of additional noise barriers. Mr. Hakon Torjesen, 6605 Rowland Road, submitted a petition from residents dated Feb. 27, 1978. Mr. Torjesen objected to the connection of Beach Road and Rowland goad. He believed the regional park is well served by regional road systems and will not require additional access. He expressed his and other Rowland Road residents desire to be kept nut of the stream of development as they do not desire their neighborhood to develop, but do favor Eden Prairie's development. <0oa I • approved Planning Comission Minutes -3- Feb. 27, 1978 The Planner believed approval of the Bryant Lake View Estates plan will not mean approval of a through street to Rowland Road, but allows the possibility. Lynch inquired if the 8' trail would be consistent with the Hikeway/Bikeway Report. The Planner responded affirmative , adding the trail would be a 'backbone' trail. Mr. Hemping, 6641 Beach Road, asked what the future plans for Beach Road are with the 62 Crosstown extension. The Planner replied the intersectim of Beach and Crosstown would be realigned to the east. Motion 1: Lynch moved, McCulloch seconded, to close the public hearing on Bryant Lake View Estates preliminary plat. Motion carried unanimously.

PETITIONS AND REQUESTS A. Bryant take View estates, Thelma Haynes Property. Request for rezoning from Rural to P1-72, and preliminary plat approval of 26 lots on approximately 24 acres. Site is located NW end of Bryant's Long Lake. • A public hearing. The Planner referred the Commission to the Highway Department letter and • Park A Recreation Department memo regarding the single family proposal. The Planner then briefly reviewed the proposed road connections contained in • the Guide Plan Update that will affect this piece of property. Jack Lynch, Bather-Ringrose-Woldsfeld, representing Mrs. Haynes, introduced the following other individuals : Mrs. Thelma Haynes & Bruce Haynes ; and • • Lynnae Nye of Eberhardt Realty. Jack Lynch presented diagrams of the site plan, vegetation, grades, topography including the east/west connector from Beach Road to Rowland Road as suggested by the staff. 6Ot1 • approved Planning Commission Minutes -5- Feb. 13,197E Lynch stated all lots are above 22,000 square feet and only six of the lots have lakeshore. Four of the lots will have access off Beach Road with the others being served by cul-de-sacs. He stated the Haynes intend to retain lots 16, and 14 or 15 , besides their existing lots. The Planner stated the staff is suggesting the east / west road be to a collector status in case the bridge over 1-494 is built in the future. Schee remarked that it may be difficult to build on some of the steeper lots. Mr. Jack Lynch replied that some of the lots will require a good architect. Schee asked how much cut is required for the east/west road. Mr. Jack Lynch • replied 10 feet. Mr. Hakon Torjesen, 6605 Rowland Road, stated he has a petition from the surrounding neighbors. In sununary,he stated the residents do not oppose the single family plan , but do oppose the collector road through the parkland . from Beach to Rowland Road. Mr. Torjesen said he would submit the petition at the upcoming meeting when all signatures are obtained. Mr. Waterbury, 6681 Beach Road, expressed his opposition against the collector proposed. He suggested a bike path allowing residents west of tFe lake to • go east to the park. The Planner felt that sioce the collector road is shown in the Guide Plan and requested as part of the 62 Crosstown improvement, that if it is not planned on , then the Guide Plan should be changed. Considerable discussion followed relative to the feasibility of building a collector road through a residential area after the homes are constructed. Schee expressed her feelings that during prior discussions on the Crosstown , the collector road was desired to provide access to the park for.areas of the community which are "detached" from the Bryant Lake area. Mr. Torjesen stated he does not feel the collector is needed and he prefers the quiet isolation that presently exists. Mr. McCulloch requested the staff to supply the Commission with the background information on 62 Crosstown Extension and related roads. • Mr. Peeping, 6641 Beach Road, stated the proposed intersection of Beach Road and the cast/west collector will be dangerous because of the large berm and had sight distances. Jack Lynch replied the berm is on public right-of-way. I Motion: Redpath moved, Retterath seconded, to continue the Bryant Lake View Estates public hearing to the Feb. 27th meeting for a staff report and background information on the Crosstown extension. Motion carried unanimously. • • Ninutos - Parks, Rec. and approved Natural Resources Commission - 5 - Man., Feb. 6, 1978 • d. Haynes Property Worts sroke to the Bryant Lake View Estates located on the western side of Bryant Lake at the northern tip of the lake, and to the • considerable amount of grading that would be necessary - especially on those bordering Bryant Lake Park. She spoke to the necessity of a temporary cul-de-sac on the eastern end of Beach Rd. to prevent traffic through the City's property at Bryant Lake Stables and to the park; to the removal of tagged elms and those that are affected by adjacent cut and fill; and to the requirement of a "cash park fee". Anderson spoke to the immediate problem of access to the park from all areas of the City. He suggested asking for shore land in lieu of "cash park fee", patterned after Zinneapolis lakes - to connect shore land along with our park land. Tangen disagreed with acquiring all of the shore lino, becauaeit will be abutting private property - since the whole Beach Road segment was developed. He spoke to the updated guide plan,'-and inquired whether there is a main trailway through the area. Kingrey expressed opposition to acquiring this land because of expense, and favored developing land we already have. Anderson felt the Commission should aim for the best proposal for Eden Prairie, and added that he felt it was bad not to have an access fe the public to public water. NOTION; Kruell moved that the Bryant Lake View Estates proposal be sent back to tLe Staff to have the items-brought up checked or resolved to see if there isn't some Corson ground on which to • resolve some of these problems,and returned to the Commission. Upton seconded, • motion carried with Tangen abstaining. Other concerns were "s" curved road to be used as access, and the chang- ing of the status of the lake to"natural environment waters". • THE GARDEN Orchard & Nursery • Hakon&Karen Toriesen • 6605 Rowland Rood Eden Prairie,Minnesota 55343 Telephone(612)944-2404 February 27, 1978 • The City Council City of Eden Prairie Eden Prairie MN 5534+ Dear Friends! ei(/ Enclosed is a survey that Dean Hola i and I conducted in our neighborhood. The signers, who represent all but two of the private properties on Rowland Road in Eden Prairie, are unanimous in their view that the dotted line for an extension of Rowland Road accross the parkland to the Beach Road area should be stricken from the long-term projections envisioned in the new Guide Plan. • At the citizen's forum in the Guide elan .last fall, we asked everyone at our table and surrounding tablee whether anyone wanted that dotted line, or know of anyone else who did. No one did. Accordingly, we recommended that the staff remove. .I have expressed my regret to the planning staff that this has not yet been done. I understand that the Parks Advisory Committee feels there should be a trail connection accross the park, rather than a connector road. In this, I believe they represent the views of both the community at large and the Rowland Road neighborhood. As a nest of your awareness of community wishes in this matter, I hope you will amend the current recommendation of the plar,niing staff in the matter of the Haynes subdivision. That application shows a 60-foot right-of-way pointing like a dagger at Rowland Road. It implies that you will approve the dotted line in the Guide Plan. We feel certain you will not do so. So long as the Haynes subdivision is separated from Rowland Road by the park, it is an appropriate land use, in keeping with the homeeenous high-income, single-family character of that side of Lake Lryart. Rowland Road is a cohesive neighborhood of a very different character. He pride ourselves on the diversity of our income levels, our land use and our life styles. We like it that way, and Lhere is deep • sentiment in our neighborhood for doing all we can to maintain our diversity. To plan a coningiirg of the two sides of Lake Bryant is an affront to both neighborhoods.

It would run along Rowland Road to the vicinity of the stables and then cut acc''oss the p.rkl_'nd and the north end of Lake iiryant to tie into a new road system being - , devised for the other side of the lake. • From a long and inconclusive conversation with the city planner , about this.

The current Draft Guide Plan indicates single family residential for this area with the exception of the northern 1/3 of the • proposed plat which is shown as medium density residential. The site is located just west of the northern tip of the lake which • is designated by the Department of Natural Resources as a Recreatio.at Development Lake. This designation by ONR requires minimum lot size to be 15,000 square feet, lower than that required in R1-22, and minimum setback from the normal high water mark of 75 feet. The DNR has established the normal high water mark at an elevation of 851.5 A minimum lot width of 75 feet is also required in this classification.

Lot sizes range from 22,300 square feet to 78,800 square feet. These are provisions of Ord. 135 for the zoning district R1-22: 22,000 square foot minimum lot size 30 foot front yard setback • 15:30 foot side yard setbacks; one side, both sides 20 foot rear yard setback . This classification allows development without public utilities. No variances from Ord. 135 are requested. SURROUNDING LAND USES: The site is bordered on the west side by Interstate 494 , on the north by Rural, vacant land, on the east by Bryant Lake and on the South by The ...ove single family subdivision zoned R1-22. The proposed site borders Bryant Lake shoreline for about 900 feet. To the east of the proposal is Bryant Lake Park, a designated regional park. A horse stables is also located in the park and operated by the City. Bryant Lake is and will be further developed as a water recreation resource. TRANSPORTATION, ACCESS: • Access to the site is gained from Beach Road which runs parallel to 1-494 and connects to the east/west underpass for the future I-494 and 62 Crosstown extension intersection. This east/west underpass then intersects Baker Road and continues west as Townline Road and Co. Rd. 67 in Minnetonka. Essentially Beach Road is a mile long cul-de-sac. The draft Guide Plan has the preliminary indication of an east/west collector status road crossing 494 in the approximate location of lot 14, block 1. This road is shown to connect with Shady Oak Road following Rowland Road on the east and following Edenvale Boulevard and connecting to Valley View on the west. This routing of the east/west collector would provide a needed connection to Bryant Lake from the.north central and northwest parts of town • (see figure 1) 4 is • t / Nj, 3_ ,L.

This intersection would be moved about 1200 feet east of the present location to assure appropriate sight distances. However, the City Council feels that this is only a temporary solution and that a bridge over 1-494 in the location indicated in Fig.2 is the desirable answer from a traffic movement and safety standpoint. On Sept. 7, 1976 the City Council passed Res. 11131 approving layout 6 for CSAH 62 Crosstown. ( Resolution attached). The roads proposed on the site will consist of 3 cul-de-sacs, one bearing a temporary cul-de-sac, shown on the plat as a through street. The grades 1 s according to City Engineering standards, on the internal streets should be no greater than 7!2% although in several places the grades are shown to be up to 9 % The gradients on these areas should be corrected, - .J.\\V I MI ItaEb 1..Z.

Complaints from the Cove residents have been received about the corner and the earth mound on the east side. If the straightning of the curve still does not give adequate sight distance, then the developer should remove as much of the mound as is necessary. SOILS, TOPOGRAHPY & GRADING: Generally the site slopes from north and west to south and east with a complete range of microclimates and slope grades. Many of the slopes on the site are as steep as 2:1(50'vertical drop in 100' horizontal distance). The grading plan for the entire site has been requested by the staff in conjunction with road construction and grading. This is to insure that building pads are provided for,as shown,and not left to each individual builder. Much of the site that is to be graded will be as steep as the original slopes. Cuts of up to 20' will be required to accommodate road construction and some of the building pads. The soils on the site are primarily made up of the Hayden series and are on slopes of 2-35%. Other smaller areas of LeSeur, Lester and Marsh soils also exist. Generally these soils are loamy, deep and moderately well drained. Bearing capacity and shear strength are fair. Fairly wide footings are required. Extensive grading, as is indicated, will increase erosion hazard and sedimentation into Bryant Lake,so erosion control must be implemented per Nine Mile Creek Watershed District recommendations. The proposed grading plan shows the home cr. lot 1, block 2 to be built on the Marsh soils. These soils are high in organic matter and wet much of the year. Drain tiling is necessary or foundation should be plaro1 above the normal high water table. / • \— \(// /K-s:'''''.-'''''''--v_. \ r \ & % o 1 1'1/4 \ \s)t-‘ %,y‘t N. s • (.01.17% \ ,,FOOLP it Ergo ptys Dr vvvei.orglt- G 1 3 Staff Report-Bryant Lake View Estates •5- Feb. 15, 1978 Bearing capacities are poor so foundations must be placed on pilings.

NOISE ABATEMENT • , Noise levels from 1-494 have been ; estimated by the Department of - Transportation to be in excess of IFID5h..-------f State and Federal Standards for resi- dential land use. MN DOT informs the staff that noise abatement measures will not be provided for any newly developed land along existing trans- portation facilities. ! l.NT has • projected a 59 dbA noise level for this area which would exceed PCA Standard . . L-10-65 for a residential area. Based • upon this information, the staff requests the developer to provide noise abatement plans prior to final approvals, incorporating grade separations, earth berms. and vegetative plantings to mitigate the effects of the freeway noise. The staff recognizes that the problem is especially serious in the area of lots 13,14, & 15, Block 1, because of lack of grade separation or vegetation. • (44J) Staff Report-Bryant Lake View Estates -7- Feb. 15, 1978 • RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning staff recommends approval of the request as follows: 1. Rezoning from Rural to R1-22 contingent upon the following conditions: a. Erosion control be implemented prior to and properly maintained during construction to prevent sedimentation entering Bryant Lake, according to Nine Mile Watershed District recommendations. • b. Noise abatement plans be submitted to and approved by the staff prior to final approval . Earth berms, grade separations and vegetation should be incorporated in such plans. c. A trail be constructed along the east/west roadway in the right-of-way from Beach Road to the east property line. This trail will connect to future trails in Bryant Lake Park. Trail should be 8 feet wide and constructed of 4 inch deep strength asphalt. d. The road should be planned so that no more than 71% slopes are used. e. Any homes constructed on organic soils should have proper footings , excavation and granular backfill. Drain tiling should be incorporated around footings where appropriate. 2.

The site is steeply sloped with an elevation of approximately 140 feet. The northern half of the site is heavily wooded with oak and elm. The site has about 900 feet of shoreline on Bryant Lake. Bryant Lake is designated as a Recreational Development Lake by DNR. This designation re- quires a minimui of 15,000 square foot lots with a minimum setback from the high water mark of 75 feet and minimum lot width of 75 feet. The high water mark for Bryant Lake has been established at 851.5 by the DNR. • PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The proposed plat contains 26 single family lots on 24 acres. The lots range in size from 22,300 square feet to l8,300 square feet. The proposed ,,1,' shoos 6 lots bordering on Bryant Lake. All lots will be served by public sewer, but rot water. Considerable grading is necessary on many of the sites. Adequate erosion • protection during ccnstruction should be required to alleviate the impact on the lake. Reestablishment of the vegetation during the construction season should also be required. The proposed development shows an east-west connection between Beach Road and in the future - Rowland Road. At the present time a temporary cul-de-sac should be provided on the eastern end of the road. Presently that road continues through the City's property at Bryant Lake Stables. Barricades around the cul • • - de-sac are necessary to prevent entry into the park. The northern area of the proposed plat is densely wooded with elm, oak, maple, and linden (basswood). At, the present time 83 elm trees have been marked as being infected with Dutch elm disease. Dutch elm disease will continue to be a problem in this area because of the large elm population. The Community Services Staff recommends that all tagged trees need be removed prior to April 1, 1978. in addition, during the initial construction of the northern cul-de-sac and the establishment of building pad sites, that elm trees should be removed whenever adjacent cut and fill will affect the fitness of the tree. Oak wilt disease is not an important factor at the present time. However, during the construction great care should he taken to prevent damage to the oaks which '• could provide conditions favorable for oak wilt introduction. 61 Haynes Property -2- 2/3/78 The developer has not proposed any open space dedication. The CASH PARK FEE would be required to satisfy the developers recreation open space requirements. SUMMARY The Community Services Staff recommends the following: A. Adequate erosion protection during construction should be required as part of the grading plans approved by the City Engineering Department and the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District. B. All grading of building pad sites should be done at one time with the reestablishment, during the construction season, of vegetation destroyed during grading. C. A cul-de-sac at the east end of the future Beach Road-Rowland Road route, with barriers to prevent access thru the adjoining property to the park. D. All tagged, diseased elms need to be removed prior to April 1, 1978. E. During the grading of building sites, the elms should be removed whenever adjacent cut and fill will affect the fitness of the tree. F. The CASH PARK FEE should be required to satisfy the developers recreation open space requirements. SW:md • • • l 619 'larch 28, i576 CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE HENNEP1N COUNTY, MINNESOTA .

Pheasant Oaks, Burmith, Inc., request for preliminary plat approval and rezoning from Rural to R1-33.5 for 96 single family detached homes on 55 acres. Located east of Red Rock Lake and South of Village Woods. A public hearing. The Planner referred the Commission to the staff report, engineering supplement, and EAW prepared on the Pheasant Oaks project. He stated the proponent is not • requesting any variances from the Rl-13.5 District, and the staff is recommending credit be given for the proponent's construction of the trail. Mr. Robert Smith, Burmith Inc., outlined the project location with description of the vegetation , slopes, and utility availability. He stated they are proposing to dedicate 11 acres to the city which amounts to approximately 20% of the total developable site area. Mr. McCulloch inquired if the proponent agrees with the staff report. Mr. Smith responded affirmative , except for full cash park fee payment. Bearrnan asked if the project would have architectural controls, and who it would he. Mr. Smith stated they would be establishing controls on house size, construc- tion, etc. Levitt asked what the price range of the homes would be. Mr. Smith estimated $75,00-100,000 . Levitt then asked if storm sewer facilities were present. Mr. Smith replied the project would be drained to a sedimentation pond and then into Red Rock Lake. McCulloch asked if the specials would he paid by the developer. Mr. Smith replied the specials had been deferred because for the last 3-4 years the property has bren in Green Acres, but the specials will be paid as the project proceeds. Redpath inquired if Hiawatha Avenue would intersect with Village Woods Drive. Mr. Smith replied affirmative. Gal • Planning Cor:mission Minutes -5- • March 13, 1978 Levitt asked if Mitchell Road would be able to handle the additional trips to the north. The Planner replied positive. Mr. John Houston, Red Rock Hills, stated he believes the project is compatible with the surrounding development. He then suggested the street Village Woods Road be renamed Village Woods Drive for consistency. The Planner replied the Engineering Staff is recommending the name change forthe final plat. Motion 1: McCulloch moved, Redpath seconded, to close the public hearing on Pheasant Oaks. Motion carried unanimously. Motion 2: • McCu lloch moved, Redpath seconded, to recommend to the City Council approval of the EAW finding of no significant impact. Motion carried unanimously.

Will the project be built in an area with slopes currently exceeding 12t? No X Yes 2. Are there other geologically unstable areas involved in the project, such as fault zones, shrink;swell soils,'peatlands, or sinkholes? X NO YES 3. If yes on 1 or 2, describe slope conditions or unstable area and any measures to be used to reduce potential adverse impacts. Where possible existing slopes will )e left undisturbed; where new slopes are created planting will he utilized to reduce adverse effects. If it appears that runoff during construction will carry sediment to the lake, straw hale dams will be utilized in crucial areas. 3 !;2 l 4. Indicate suitability of site soils for foundations, individual septic systems, and ditching, if these are included in the project. Site soils arc typical to the area and as such have been satisfactorily utilized for building foundation support. Additonal info on following page. 5. Estimate the total amount of grading and filling which will be done: 70,000 cu. yd. grading 70,000cu. yd. filling What percent of the site will be so altered? 60 t 6. What will be the maximum finished slopes? 20 t 7. What steps will be taken to minimize soil erosion during and after construction? Steep natural slopes outside of actual house pads will be be disturbed. Distttttbed slopes will be seeded and mulched or sodded to prevent erosion. Temporarypo erosion control structures will be constructed where necessary B. VEGET�TiC�rent against sedimentation. . 1. Approximately what percent of the site is in each of the following vegetative types: Woodland 10 % Cropland/ 88 % Pasture Brush or shrubs none % Marsh 2 t Grass or herbaceous none t Other none % (Specify) Additional information on following page. 2. How many acres of forest or woodland will be cleared, if any? 1/3 acres 3. Are there any rare or endangered plant species or areas of unique botanical or biological significance on the site? (See DNR public..- on The Uncommon Ones.) ..1......NO YES If yes, Till the species or area and indicate any measures to be used to reduce potential adverse impact. • C. F1&11 AND WILDLIFE 1. Are there any designated federal, state or local wildlife or fish manage- ment areas or sanctuaries near or adjacent to the site? __NO YES 2. Are there an3 known rare or endangered species of fish and wildlife on or near the site? (See DNR publication The Uncommon _s_NO YES 3. Will the project alter or eliminate wildlife or fish —NO ��YF.S habitat? 4. If yes on any of questions 1-3, list the area, species or habitat, and indicate any measures to be used to reduce potential adverse impact on them. During construction period, birds and small animals will he forced to seek new areas of habitat. The amount of food and habitat will be reduced therefore the potential to produce wildlife will he reduced proportionately. Territorial concerns of other animals , such as fox, will be disrupted. An increase in the population of undesirable species, such as housemice, Norway Rats, Starlings, and English Sparrows is likely to take place. The general impact on the local wildlife population will be negative due to an increase in noise changes, in microclinnate, decrease in habitat, food and territorial boundaries, but mostly due to the presence of man and his residential environs. • 4. Continued, Soils The western half of the site is gently undulating with the exception of the extreme north side, dropping-off sharply to an existing pond. The highest knoll on the site, located in the east center, has slopes of 18-20% to the south and cast. Most of the site drains to the tow, wet area, Out lot B, proposed by the proponent as part of the park dedication. Smaller portions of the site drain to the north. 4 • The grading plan submitted indicates a minimum amount of site preparation grading. The high knoll on the site will be cut about 10 feet to allow , for the road and adequate pads for the lots. 1. The soils on the site have very diverse characteristics. Soils having sandy texture and well drained character are Basso, Dickman, and Lester. These soils have good bearing capacity and shear strength. The hazard of frost heave is low and changes in volume with changes in moisture content is low. Erosion potential on these soils, however, is quite high. • The soils having loamy texture and moderate drainage are Heyder, Greys, Nessel and LeSueur. They have a fair to good bearing capacity and shear strength. most heave potential and shrink-swell is moderate. Erosic.: hazard for these soils is high, but not as bad as the sandy soils. Fairly wide footings should be used on these soils. • The moderately well drained soils on the site are represented by the Kennebec series. The bearing capacity and shear strength'of these soils are good,however, because they are underlain by deep sand. A seasonally high water table may present some problems. The hazard of frost heave and shrink-swell potential are fairly high. The low area of Outlot B consists primarily of peat soils. • B. 1. !etation, continued Vegetation on the site consists of fairly small areas of oak and elm. There is one fairly large stand of oak and elm on the southwest corner of the site. Very few of the trees will have to be removed in the • grading of the site. • • _4b_ D. HYDROLOGY 1.

Will the activity cause the emission of any gases and/or particulates into the atmosphere? NO X YES If yes, specify the type and origin of these emissions, indicate any emission control devices or measures to be used, and specify the approxi- mate amounts for each emission (at the source) both with and without the emission control measures or devices. During construction period(ie grading. utility, streets, and building)and following occupancy, low levels of carbon • monoxide and hydro-carbon emissions, etc., will be released. These emissions are typical to combustion of fuels and due to the limited size and scope of the project will have only a minor effect on the atmosphere. Following construction , the project will generate approximately 800 auto trips/day and emissions from heating 96 hoses. • • 2. Will noise or vibration be generated by construction and/or operation of the project? NO X YES If yes, describe the noise socrce(s); specify decibel levels cib(i+)j, and duration (hrs/da) for each and any mitigative Treasures to reduce the noise/vi::::.xt.ion. During the construction period, equipment will be running from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Approximate noise levels within SO feet of equipment • will be in the range of 90-100db. The noise should be confined to the site. • Standards for Noise: Day Night L50 1.10 L50 L10 60dllA 6Sd8A 500A 55d3A Maximum dBA Ranges: Equipment At Machine At 250 ft. scraper 85-115 64-100 dozer 88-10S 73- 90 • • grader 78- 96 63- 81 3.

FINDINGS The project is a private ( X ) governmental ( ) action. The Oesponsible Agency (Person), after consideration of the information in ,this EAW, and the factors in Minn. Reg. MEQC 25, makes the following findings. 1. The project is ( ) is net ( X ) a maj_.r action. State yeas::,s: The project is an average size project when compared to other plats in the area. No unusual features are proposed, the approach being similar to that offered by other developers for similar land. The project as proposed complies with the local and Metropolitan System Plans, urban development standards, and open space retention. 2. The project does (____) dues not ( X ) have the potential for sie,ni Iicant environmental effects. State reasons: Because of the proximity of this property to the lake, failure on the part of the developer to use proper precautions during construction, or failure • to comply with the proper mitigative measures that have been proposed could have adverse effects on the water quality. The developer however, has proposed that the storm water runoff be diverted through a settling basin and that straw bales will be utilized if the existing vegetation does not sufficiently clean the surface runoff during the construction period. 3. (For private actions only.) The project is ( ) is not (X ) of more than local significance. State Reasons: The project is situated near the center of Eden Prairie. As such, all environmental factors relating to the project car, be considered to be of local signiacance. The project will respect natural hydrologic and other natural systems, common to the larger region, and is consistent with all City growth plans. IV.

The proposed street names, Pheasant Oaks and Hilltop, conflick with names already in use. These names must be changed and new names reviewed and approved by the Engineering Oept. 2. Sight distance at the intersection of Village Woods Orive and Mit- chell Road must be verified by the Developer. The in-place bituminous paving on Mitchell Raod ends approximately 120 feet northerly of the proposed intersection. The Developer will be required to extend the paving of Mitchell Road to the southerly limits of the proposed plat. 3. The proposed watermain system must be looped through the most north- westerly cul-de-sac to the existing watermain, located parallel to the west property line of the plat. Connection to the existing sys- tem will also be required at the intersection of Village Woods Drive and Mitchell Road. 4. An existing 18" storm sewer is located within the plat, but it is not shy.. on the proposal. This system is an overflow for the pond, located in the northerly portion of the plat and outlets in the • proposed Lot 15, Block 4. The developer must either relocate the • storm sewer or adjust the plat as necessary. • 5. A 9' radius should be platted along the property line at all street intersections and cul-de-sac returns to enable utility companies to install their lines without crossing private property at these points. 6. Assessment information: The fol}owing special assessments have been levied on the prop- erty included in the proposed plat: #6137, Lateral sewer and water, $53,722.57 #6138, M.R.S.

Pending assessments: Pending storm sewer on Parcel 6525, $10.000; Special assessments will be pending rezoning and development of 7.75 acres of the plat located in Section 21 at current rates for trunk sewer and water. storm sewer and street improvements. BURMITH, INC. 7669 Washington Ave. So. Edina, Minnesota 55435 MAR I 0 1978 March 6, 1978 City Staff & Planning Commission Members City of Eden Prairie 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343 Subject: Proposed Pheasant Oaks Park Dedication Gentlemen: Having had the opportunity to discuss with Staff the City's guide lines on park dedication, we would like to ask that you consider our beliefs on how Pheasant Oaks relates to these guide lines. On your Park Guide Plan, a trail corridor is called for along the north side of Red Rock Lake. This corridor will be an integral part of a north — south connecting park system. We feel the system will be a very excellent amenity to the entire area. Pheasant Oaks as porposed allows for such a corridor to an extent which has a great deal more land dedication than what is called for. Over and beyond the wetlands in the area of the walkway, we are proposing an additional 6.5 acres of public open space along the corridor. For the most part, the additional acreage is made up of wooded knolls and natural areas. This will allow the residents using the [railway to stop off and enjoy an unspoiled wildlife area; something which is becoming increasingly harder to find. May we ask that you consider the very valuable dedications proposed within this plat when determining if any additional monetary park dedication be required. Thank you for your consideration. Yours very truly, BURM�ITH�,�INC. Richard M. Smith • RMS:Ic 640 • • STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission • FROM: Jim Jensen, Planning Assistant THROUGH: Chris Enger, Planning Director ' DATE: March 3, 1978 APPLICANT: Burmith, Inc. PROJECT: Pheasant Oaks LOCATION: 5S acre parcel located west of Mitchell Road, east of Redrock Lake and south of Scenic Heights and Mitchell Heights residential areas. REQUEST: Preliminary plat approval for 96 lots on SS acres Rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 BACKGROUND: This project is part of a 1973 PUD by Zachman Homes depicting townhouses and zero lot line homes. The open space and roads proposed in Pheasant Oaks are in conformance with the original PUD (refer to Fig. 3) The 1968 Guide Plan carries a single family designation for the enti:.- area proposed. The proposed plan corresponds very closely with the preliminary indication of the current Guide Plan Update. An elementary school is shown approximately in the area of Mitchell Road/Village • Wood Road intersection, but could be directly south of that area. The Guide Plan Update denotes a density of 3 to 4.5 units/acre for • residential , low density. The proposed subdivision relates well to the surrounding land uses, being R1 and IUI residential. An environmental assessment worksheet has been prepared and approved for the project. LOCATION MAP Ru^p hu I7: it;'/RI-22j a •• 7.6N�K ' �— / raPac ' 1 ♦ !I tin t 1 - • 1•RPRK ✓ I 1 ti]tC ,:1,1 / .

No variances are being requested. Provisions of Ordinance 135 for the R1-13.5 District are as follows: Maximum density of 2 units/acre 13,500 square foot minimum lot size 30 foot front yard setback 10foot - 25 foot sideyard setback 20 foot rear yard setback The minimum lot size is 13,500 square feet. With about 11 acres of open space, the overall density is 1.75 units/acre, well below the maximum allowed. TRANSPORTATION Access to the site is gained from Mitchell Road on the east end of the subdivision. Village Woods Road is a through street joining Red Rock Hills 1st Addition. The 96 lots are served by a series of cul-de-sacs and a loop road off of the through street. It is estimated that 800 ADT will be generated upon completion of the project. The trips will probably be north on Mitchell Road to Scenic Heights Drive and TH 5. (ADT based upon 8.5 trips/unit/day) The intersection of Village Woods Road and Scenic Heights as shown in the • proposed location, will have to be upgraded to establish adequate sight distance both to the south and to the north. The pavement on Mitchell Road ends about 120 feet to the north of the proposed intersection. This also represents a high spot in the road which drops off sharply to the south. Therefore, the inter- section is just below the high spot. Since curb and gutter, pavement, sewer and water are already in the part of Mitchell Road ending north of the intersection, it makes sense that the intersection will have to be raised to allow for the sight distances required. Sight distance should be at least 300 feet both north and south on Mitchell Road at this intersection. . 1 t �� =Di , ? ///, , i 2 o FI 4 ;t�I ?Nt �� t 4 t I t-: t.W gt$Fs 3. } / li �j`/J �2 J 1k,,J( N'' g i£` t �) ,:. • r; \' 1 tit tt,,:I.:: tek .:;4-,,,N.,1 ,7 l o.i i ;d i i$:` !NAWAH'CtA J. ///7.. \ \k' \' f _+ � /.wry ` ( .. \• •p \ , �'+ ,1 Y '�/ l Jfrs q!t I \ II " ? 6,,N-....... -f.•-i'-,,q;K::.%-,-•A <or/-• ."," . v --' ''',1-;",,-,' 1 --- ----4";.:.=.--- .1-- - I ' .-- )/'1,.

The highest knoll on the site, located in the cast center, has slopes of 18-20% to the south and east. Most of the site drains to the low, wet area, Outlot B, proposed by the proponent as part of the park dedication. Smaller portions of the site drain to the north. • The grading plan submitted indicates a minimum amount of site preparation grading. The high knoll on the site will be cut about 10 feet to allow for the road and adequate pads for the lots. The soils on the site have very diverse characteristics. Soils having sandy • texture and well drained character are Rasset, Dickman, and Lester. These soils have good bearing capacity and shear strength. The hazard of frost heave is low and changes in volume with changes in moisture content is low. Erosion potential on these soils, however, is quite high. The soils having loamy texture and moderate drainage are Heyder, Greys, Nessel, and LeSucur. They have a fair to good bearing capacity and shear strength. Frost heave potential and shrink-swell is moderate. Erosion hazard for these soils is high , but not as bad as the sandy soils. Fairly wide footings should be used on these soils. • The moderately well drained soils on the site are represented by the Kennebec series. The bearing capacity and shear strength of these soils are good however, because they are underlain by deep sand. A seasonally high water table may present some problems. The hazard of frost heave and shrink-swell potential • are fairly high. The low area of Outlot B consists primarily of peat soils. Vegetation on the site consists of fairly small areas of oak and elm. There is one fairly large'star.d of oak and elm on the southwest corner of the site. Very few of the trees will have to be removed in the grading of the site. PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION: Asphalt trails at least six feet in width should he constructed as shown in Fig. I. Trails shall be of 4inch deep strength asphalt and according to City Engineer specifications. To the west the trail will connect to trails along the north side of Red Rock Lake. The trail to the cast should provide pedestrian movement to the parkland north of the site. Credit for this trail will be given against the cash park fee. A sidewalk shall he constructed along Village Woods Drive by the developer from Red Rock Ilills, where the sidewalk will connect to existing sidewalks to Mitchell Road. The sidewalk should he placed in the ROW and constructed of concrete according to City Engineer specifications and match with the sidewalk in Red Rock Hills. • Staff Report-Pheasant Oaks -4- March 3, 1978 • RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning Staff recommends approval of the projects as follows: 1. Rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 for 96 lots on 5S acres. 2. Preliminary plat approval contingent upon the following: a. the intersection of Village Woods Drive and Mitchell Road be upgraded so that sight distances both ways are adequate. The staff should approve such upgrading prior to any construction or grading. b. trails be constructed in Outlots B and C as shown in Fig.l. Trail should connect to existing trails in Red Rock Hills 2nd Addition and future connections to parkland to the north. c. erosion control should be implemented prior to construction because of the erosive nature of must of the soils on the site. Permanent erosion and sedimentation controls should be constructed per Riley/Purgatory Creek Watershed District recommendations. • d. ground cover should be established immediately following construction by sodding or seeding. Slopes over 8% are especially critical with the existing soil conditions. e. a sidewalk shall be constructed along Village Wood Drive in the ROW and of concrete according to the specifications of City (ngineering Department. It shall match the sidewalk in Red Rock Hills and extend to Mitchell Road. f. the cash park fee shall be paid according to Ord. 332 with credit given for the recreational trails in Outlots B and C.

March 23. 1978 - Colmnunity Staff Recommendations • SUPER VALU PUD Supplement to March 7, 1978 Manning Staff Report The Community Services Staff concurs with the Planning Staff that the proposed Planned Unit Development is in conformance with the 1968 Guide Plan and the Major Center Area Planned Unit Development, and that office use is an appropriate substitute for high density housing in this area. Les Blacklock has said 'I see the development of the Major Center Area here not as an ecological catastrophe, which it certainly could be, but as a great challenge, with tremendously high stakes". We must attempt to develop the Major Center Area "in a manner that provides for: the continued maintenance and enhancement of the habitat and wildlife presently using the area; a continued functioning of the natural systems, including hydrology; of viable "urban" environment, including transportation, land use, livability, etc". Although, I do have some concerns over the distance from the building to the pond, after our recent field inspection of the site I am convinced that Super Valu has proposed the best possible layout of the building in terms of the screening and visual impact from the lake and the surrounding community. The Major Center Area Report indicates open space around the pond and includes the marsh area and the two knolls as open space. The proposed PUD shows nearly the same amount of open space. There has been some discussion of the need for a trail around the western and southern side of Bryant Lake circling the lake and connecting to the park on the east side of the lake. There is a need for a trail corridor connecting Bryant Lake Park to the Smetana Lake and eastward along a proposed County Trail. That k connectedl could follow to the park viahe a routeMile eastCofeWillowidr Creekrom Bryant development. and be The 852.6 contour has been determined as the ordinary high water line. All of the area below the contour is public open space. The 854 contour has been dtermined as the floodplain. Community Service Staff has the following reconrnend- ations: 1. That Super Valu dedicate all of the land below the 854 contour as scenic easement. most 2 That Sur Valu easement to preclude�any edevelopment of the entire r that n knoll as scenic knoll. 3. That Super Valu dedicate the northern half of the knoll immediately north of their building as scenic easement. 4. That the City make a provision in the proposed PUD amendment that would restrict any construction of docks or piers. 5. The CASH PARK FEE of S1,200 per acre for the approximate 37 acre office district be paid at the time of the building permit. 61/9 MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PLANNING COMMISSION • Unapproved MONDAY, MARCH 13, 1978 7:30 PM City Hall • COMMISSION PRESENT: Chairman Sundstrom, Richard Lynch,William Bearman, Matthew Levitt, Paul Redpath (arrived later) COMMISSION ABSENT: Liz Retterath STAFF PRESENT: Planning Director Chris Enger, Planning Assistant Jean -- Johnson, Director of Community Services Bob Lambert I.

Sujr Valu Stores, Inc.,request for PUD Amendment to Major Center Area PUD for a 140 acre site, and rezoning of 37 acres from Rural to Office for corporate headquarters to be located on south end of Bryant Lake. The Planner informed the Commission Super Valu applied for PUD Amendment to MCA PUD to include : office, housing, open space, and office/commercial uses on the 140 acre site. He referred the Commission to the Draft Environmental • • Assessment Worksheet.and the staff report dated March 7, 1978. He stated the Department of Natural Resources will be determining the actual high water mark , and once it is established Super Valu intends to respect the setbacks required. The Planner reviewed passed PUD approvals on the site as : 1968 Guide Plan depicting commercial and housing; a 1968 Amendment to the Guide Plan outlining single family detached; and the MCA I'UD of 1973 which outlines uses of housing and commercial. He believed the office use of the site is preferred to medium density housing as there will he less use of the land , traffic E public services. The Planner stated the zoning request will require variance from Oid. 135 whereby office structures are limited to 30 feet, although since the project is within the MCA, structures may be higher than strict ordinance requirements. The Planner recommended the PUD and zoning request be approved contingent upon the conditions within the staff report;and that no docking facilities he constructed on the lake, and future building and/or parking plans be subject to commission review and council approval. Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes -2- March 13, 1978 Mr. Robert Dill, Elierbe & Associates, briefly outlined the PUD uses on the 140 acre site and the layout of the 37 acre office site. Mr. Bearman inquired if Super Valu anticipates selling any of the 140 acres. Mr. Dill replied that it is undetermined at this time. Levitt asked if the building design proposed on the plans and models is the only one Super Valu is considering. Mr. Dill replied during initial • meetings with residents alternate building designs were shown, but the building in the brochure and on the model is the type that will be built. Lynch asked if the housing depicted in the MCA PUD would be apartments. The Planner replied it would be possible. Levitt questioned where additional parking would be accommodated if the use is expanded. Mr. Dill replied they believe 1 space/1.2 employees is adequate based on current studies, and future parking could be provided nearby and by decking. Sundstrom inquired if the small pond on-site would be covered by the same restrictions as Bryant Lake. The Planner replied affirmative. Levitt inquired what the City's cost would be for the 1-494 ramp. The Planner estimated 90% of the anticipated $100,000 cost. Bearman asked if the City has to assume any of the costs of the industrial • revenue bond. Mr. Morrissey, Vice-President Super Valu, Hopkins, repiie,l Super Valu would be responsible for the cost of underwriting, legal costs, etc. Sundstrom asked if the PAW is written on the entire 140 acres or the 37 acre office site proposed. The Planner replied the EAW is basically written on the 37 acre office site and if future uses are proposed additional EAWs may be necessary. Redpath arrived The Planner informed the Commission the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resouces Commission discussed possibility of a trail around Bryant Lake, but the motion to recommend a trail failed. Don Sorensen, 7321 Willow Creek Road, asked where future building expansion is anticipated. Mr. Dill believed additional expansion of the building would occur • to the southwest of the building location proposed. Mr. Sorensen stated he is impressed with the Super Valu proposal but does have concern over the siting of the building. He believed the area could be better protected and preserved with unique architectural design and siting. Sundstrom asked if any activites are planned in the open space areas of the 140 acres. The Planner believed the open space designated areas would be preserved in their natural state. Mr. Bearman inquired what alternate sites on the acreage were investigated. Mr. Dill outlined the alternates sites, but stated the site selected has the best soils and will have minimal impact upon the lake. Sorensen suggested placement of the building at and into the base of 'Old Baldy' be investigated. / (O J I • • Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes -3- March 13, 1978 Sundstrom inquired if the total office site proposed must be rezoned in order to meet setbacks, i.e., the northern tip near the lake. Mr. Morrissey replied the line could be redrawn if the City desires and still meet setbacks. Mr. Redpath complimented Super Valu for the admirable plans on a site which has had less than desirable proposals. He added he does find reason to agree with alternate siting possibilities as stated by Mr. Sorensen, but believes the • plan proposed is acceptable. • Motion I Lynch moved, Bearman seconded, to recommend to the City Council approval of the EAW.finding of no significant impact. Motion carried unanimously. Motion 2 Lynch moved, McCulloch seconded, to recommend to the City Council approval of Super Valu's PUD dated Feb. 13, 1978. Motion carried unanimously. Motion 3: Lynch moved, Bearman seconded, to recommend to the City Council approval of the Super Valu rezoning of 37 acres from Rural to Office according to the 140 acre PUD contingent upon the staff report dated March 7, 1978, subject to the approvals from the Department of Natural Resources, Nine Mile Watershed District and , Hennepin County, that a variance from Ord. 135 height restriction be recommended; and that no docking facilities be allowed on the site. Motion carried unanimously. • 6,62 { • ec i ._ ..., ._ ...._,• icn ,.iru:es -3- Feb. 27, Isib Pc11TlO S i•tcD {;EQUFSTS A. Super Yalu Stores, Inc., request for rezoning from Rural to Office for approximately 37 acres for corporate headquarters located on south end of Bryant lake on a total site of'approxiutately 140 acres. Mr. John Morrissey, Senior Vice-President, Super Valu Stores, Hopkins, introduced Mr. Robert Dill of Ellerbe E Associates, who have conducted the site analysis. Mr.Morrissey stated Super Valu has purchased 140 acre site on the Southwest shore of Bryant lake , are requesting rezoning to Office for approximately 37 acres for their corporate office, and are looking forward to their move to Eden Prairie. Mr. Dill, Ellerbe, presented slides of the proposed Super Valu Office site depicting existing hills, vegetation, surrounding land uses, access, proposed parking lot location, and sight views from lake. approved Planning Commission Minutes -4- Feb. 27, 1978 Mr. Dill stated Super Valu intends to plant additional vegetation to increabe the screening of the building from the lake in the Winter time. Mr.Morrissey stated design studies to establish which area of the site is most suited for building location,,and which will have least impact on the land and keep it as close to nature as possible have been conducted and the site most favorable is the one proposed for rezoning. Mr. Dill informed the Commission three neighborhood meetings have been conducted to familiarize residents with Super Valu's plans. Lynch inquired if Super Valu has plans for the 100 remaining acres. Mr. Morrissey replied the headquarter office building will only require about 35-40 acres, but they purchased the entire acreage for sale , therefore controlling the area to surround their corporate office. Sundstrom inquired what types of trees are existing on the site. Dill replied elm, willows, oaks and some fruit trees. McCulloch, referring to the 2-27-78 letter from Don Sorensen, 7121 Willow Creek Road, asked if the proposed building is within the floodplain. Mr. Dill disagreed, stating the DNR has not yet established a high water mark for Bryant lake and they will be meeting with the DNR and watershed district Lynch asked what type of bonds are requested. Mr. Morrisey replied industrial. revenue bonds in the amount of $1,000,000, not the $1,000 which is a typographical error in the brochure. Mr. Harrison, 6941 Beach Road, stated Ellerbe and Super Valu has been meeting with residents over the last 2-3 months. He complimented Super Valu and Ellerbe's on the cooperation received, and hoped Super Valu would become good corporate neighbors of the area and of the City. • Minutes - Parks, Rec. and Unapproved Mondays March 6, 1978 Natural Resources Jo3:rassion - 9 - 7. pevelor:.cnt Procosal$ a. 3urcr Vo1uc _stores.

Mr. Dill replied if additional improvements are desired, the proponent must further apply for rezoning and receive approval. Mr Morrissey stated a distribution center is not intended to be part of their �. corporate office site development. Diane Fisher, 7275 Topview , asked if Super Valu had plans to expand in the future. Mr. Morrissey replied office expansion may be needed in the future, and if so, they would return to the City for approval. Mike Solan, KRSI, inquired how tall the office structure would be. Mr. Dill replied 46 feet. Lau Fisher,7275 Topview Rd, expressed disapproval of 'spot locating' of industrial/ commercial type uses. The Planner stated the site is depictedin the Major Center Area Planned Unit Development as housing and regional commercial. Super Valu is requesting an amendment to the MCA PUD for 1 office structure, instead of multiple housing; and the remainder of the 100 acres will not be developed unless future requests are approved.

Mirinn .nnin • Memo-Super Valu -3- March 7, 1978 • Proposed Plan Comparisons: The Planned Unit Development amendment proposed by Super Valu is in substantial conformance with both the 1968 Guide Plan and the Major Center Area Planned Unit Development. • The proposed plan shows significantly more open space than the 1968 Guide Plan, less commercial area, and proposes an office use on the 37 acres rather than Institutional. Super Valu's plan encroaches slightly on the eastern knoll shown as open space in the MCA Plan, however, the building is built into the side of the hill pre- serving the integrity of the land form. The office use is substituted for high density housing.

Memo-Super Valu -4- March 7, 1978 • Changes Since the 1968 Guide Plan 1. KRSI/KFMK Radio Station has been located in the M2 Area shown in the 1968 Guide Plan. The radio station's towers have had a profound effect on the 'skyline' and character of the area. 2. An old swimming beach had been operated on the southwest shore of the lake within this site. Since the 1968 Guide Plan , the City has acquired approximately 170 acres of land for a Community/Regional park on the northeast shore of the lake. This is about twice the area designated in the original guide plan. Much of this land has been acquired since 1973 when the MCA report was adopted. This has given the City control over a substantial portion of the lakeshore. There is currently no way to bring a lakeshore trail around Bryant Lake without cutting through existing backyards or swinging away from the lake. There is, however, ample room within Bryant Lake Park for trail development. Round Lake and Staring Lake are examples where the City his purchased the entire lakeshore which may be used for trail development. 3. Major Cen,er Area Planned Unit Development was adopted. 4. Metram Properties , in 1976, announced plans for construction of 1500 units of luxury highrise condominiums on this site. Rezoning was applied for, but the proponents requested to be taken off Planning • Commission schedule until further notification . No further requests were received. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS AFFECTING SITE 1. The floodplain elevation for this site has been set at 854. This is an anticipated floodplain level taking into account the full land use devel- opment of the watershed. No filling or alteration of this area may be done without a permit from the Nine Mile Watershed District. We have spoken with John Dickson , Barr Engineering , staff consultants to the watershed district, and he will be carefully reviewing Super Valu's plans and making recommendations to the Watershed District. His preliminary comments tr;.'ate do not point-up any major problems. Storm water runoff from the parking area and building will he channeled to a sedimentation pond prior tb release into the natural pond. Memo-Super Valu -5- March 7,1978 The watershed district will suggest procedures and methods of applying non-polluting fertilizers to the lawn areas on the lake side of the building. There is a small amount of encroachment into the floodplain by the entrance drive, which the watershed district must review. The building and parking have been located on soils and slopes which have least erosion potential. Preliminary soil borings show no problem with groudwater in anticipated building areas. 2. Shoreland Management Act classifies Bryant Lake as a Recreational Development Lake which requires that buildings he set back 75 feet from the normal ordinary high water mark. We have spoken with Ron llarnac of ONR regarding this. He states the normal ordinary high water mark is set at 852.6 feet. Super Valu will have to conform to this restriction. 3. The City, under state law, has done an Environmental Assessment Worksheet in order to determine if the proposal is of regional significance. 4. Super Valu will have to obtain the necessary permits from Nine Mile Watershed District, Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. ACCESS: Access to the site has been reviewed by Hennepin County, and they find the sight line distances acceptable. More indcpth • review of the access by the County may point-up a need for turn lanes. Super Valu must obtain an entrance permit from Hennepin County contingent to their recommendations. • There are no conflicts with other entrances onto Valley View Road. The City requires additional ROW dedication of 60 feet from centerline on Valley View Road to allow for Ring Road improvements. Off-ramps from I-494 west bound to US 169 will be accomplished this summer; although a ramp from I-494 south bound and an on-ramp north bound must be constructed with 90a City funding. • There arc currently 1,300 ADTs on Valley View Road with 1,400 being anticipated additions if Super Valu is constructed. The County projects 8,000 ADTs for the Year 2000. • Memo-Super Valu -6- March 7,1978 PARKING: Super Valu shows 5S0 employee parking spaces for 68S employees. • Our Ordinance requires 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet gross floor area. According to this, Super Valu would be required to pro- vide 825 spaces. Super Valu feels that the parking they propose is sufficient. As long as parking expansion area is provided on the site, as • shown in the site plan, the Planning Staff feels this is a reasonable approach. • Parking for future additions,above the 820 spaces shown potentially, should be provided through a parking deck directly south of the main building. This will provide additional parking without adding more impervious surface area. Memo-Super Valu -7- March 7, 1978 UTILITIES: Sewer and water are available to the site. There are two ways of servicingvingrin the site with sewer. These will have to be worked-out with the City Engineering Department. Super Valu has been working with residents of The Cove and Willow Creek Areas of Bryant take to develop a plan which is acceptable.

Memo-Super Valu March 7. 1978 -9- SUMMARY • Proponent is requesting amendment to the MCA PUD 73-08 according to plan dated Feb. 1978. Change is mostly from Housing to office land use for one of the two designated housing sites. The proponent is requesting rezoning of 37± acres from Rural to Office District in conformance with the amended PUD . No variances are being requested. The City Staff is submitting the E.A.W. to the advisory commissions and council for a finding of no significant regional impact to be published in the E.Q.B. Monitor. RECOMMENDATIONS: City Staff recommends approval of the PUD amendment dated Feb. 1978 according to the development brochure and site plan of the same date. City Staff recommends that the request for rezoning from Rural to Office be approved with the following provisions: 1. The site plan, with modifications required by Nine Mile Watershed District, Department of Natural Resources, Army Corps of Engineers, and Hennepin County, dated Feb. 1978, be the basis of approval. 2. That right-of-way 60 feet from centerline along Valley View Road be conveyed to the City of Eden Prairie. 3. That open space as proposed in the PUD be preserved unaltered in its natural state. 4. That additions to the building be in conformance with all City , State, and watershed district regulations. S. The additional buildings not now proposed in the 37 acre office district, be reviewed and approved by the City Commissions and Council prior to application for a building permit. 6. The cash park fee of $1,200/acre for the 37 acres required for rezoning be paid at time of building permit. 7. A erosion and sedimentation control plan must be approved by the Nine Mile Watershed District. 8. Construction must commence within two years from date of second reading of ordinance. 9. No clearing along the lakeshore'other than removal of dead vegetation. 10. Parking be allowed as proposed, SSO spaces, with an additional parking capacity of 825 to he provided as need warrants within the 'loop' of road. If spaces above the 825 arc needed for this site, they should be provided in a parking deck. // • SORENSEN & SORENSEN QQ]j� ATTORNEYS AT LAW (►3(Cm11/3MdWbr—No..l.m.C a.

Harnack Regional Hydrologist Department of Natural Resources, State of Minnesota 1200 Warner Road Saint Paul, Minnesota 55106 RE: Super Valu Corporate Headquarters Dear Mr. Harnack: At the suggestion of Mr. Chris Eiger, the land use planner for the City of Edon Prairie, I am herewith enclosing a copy of a recent let— ter I sent to him. I trust that you are the appropriate person within the D. N. R. to appraise of my concerns and that, if you are not, I can impose upon you to refer them to the one who is. Since the time of writing the enclosed letter, I have learned from Mr. Eiger that the D. N. R. has established the Ordinary High Water Mark for Bryant's Long Lake to be 852.6 feet, based, as I understand it, on the current transition elevation of the marsh type of vegetation. If that is the case, and since the project is to be sewered, my com— ments as to set—backs and elevations in the enclosed letter should be read with those factors in mind. I am not aware of whether or not your department's setting of the ordinary high water mark for this lake takes into account the future effect of increased run-off from substantial development of upstream properties, which is almost certain to occur and which may well effect the water level of this lake. If it does not, I am curious as to how the intents and purposes of the shoreland man— agement rules and regulations are to be accommodated and accomplished in bodies of water and watershed area where this situation of certain increase in impervious surfaces and resulting run-off will occur. • My concerns with this proposal do not relate directly to the pro— posed land use, which has some beneficial aspects to it if one agrees • • Mr. Ronald D. Harnack 2 March 2, 1978 • page that economically the land can not remain vacant, but rather with the proposed siting of the structure, the extent of the proposed surfaced parking area, and a need for overall planning and use criteria for the entire site. As the land in question has a number of building sites within its boundaries, same of which do not involve the actual or possible viola— tion of the minimum standards set forth in the shoreland management sites and regulations,r I find ar�hces po erms permitting anstify eencrooaachment on the sed structure site or the granting of any P rules and regulations. I would appreciate your attention to this project proposal and your taking whatever actions you believe are appropriate.

Suite 339, 6800 France Avenue South Edina, Minnesota 55435 • RE: Super Valu Headquarters Proposal Gentlemen: At the suggestion of Mr. Chris Enger, Planning Director for the City of Eden Prairie, I am herewith enclosing a photocopy of my rec.nt letter to him relative to the above captioned proposed development on property abutting Bryant's Long Lake. Since the writing of the enclosed letter, I have been informed that the D.N.R. has set the ordinary high water mark for the lake at 852.6 feet and that,since the proposed development is to be severed, the shoreland management rules-and regulations set a lake set back min— ismlm of 75 feet from that elevation. In general, I favor the proposed change in land use to office usage; however, I am concerned that the proposed structure siting, the extent of impervious surfaced parking area, the possible nutrient run— off from the proposed sodded and irrigated areas on the lake side of the proposed structure, and the lack of planning criteria for the total site at this time raise serious questions as to whether or not the pro— posal should be approved in its present form. While I am aware that the City's flood plain and wet lands ordin— ance and the standards of the watershed district do permit an encroach— ment of up to 15%, I question whether any encroachment should be Board of Managers, Nine Mile Creek Watershed District Page 2 March 2, 1978 permitted in this instance for the following reasons: 1. I understand that the flood plain elevation for this lake of 854.0 feet was set in part with the knowledge that increased development of properties upstream from the lake would in— crease the need for water storage areas to prevent downstream flooding. 2. There already have been encroachments of the flood plain per— mitted on downstream water storage areas, i.e. Smetana Lake. j 3. Given the nature of the lake's water exit area under Willow Creek Road, a reduction of the water storage capacity of the lake's flood plain could well result in an increase in the lake's water level and thereby have possible adverse effects on existing and future land uses around the lake. 4. The site in question does have other possible building sites on it which do not necessitate any encroachment on the flood plain and thereby there appears to be no need to permit an encroachment for this proposal. Thank you for your attention to these concerns and for whatever actions, if any, you feel to be appropriate in this matter.

Single family residential is across Bryant Lake and the wetland to the north. The site is presently vacant. It is roughly triangular in shape, is approximately 3,153 feet in a north-south direction paralleling I-494; 3,153 feet in an east-west direction along the center line of County Road 60, with approximately 3,820 feet of Bryant Lake shoreline. Up to about 1960, the site was utilized for agriculture by several different families.

If yes on 1 or 2, describe slopeconditions anseore unstable e area and any measures to be used to reduce pet • Regrading of slope exceeding 10 and removal of Muck and Peat. Nino • Mile Creek Watershed District will review construction and gridding plans and issue permit. Permit for Muck and Peat excavation required from Minnesota ONCR. (UG1 - 3 Attachment M2 Page Three Color of natural exterior materials will be of warm, neutral tones so as to best relate to characteristics of the site. Initially, 550 employee parking spaces will be constructed. This represents 1.2 employees per space (based on 685 employees). It is also estimated that 1,400 area daily trips (ADT) will be generated by this facility. Area is provided within the loop road for up to 820 automobiles if needed. Sod and irrigation will be limited to the area inside the loop road and around the building. The remainder of the disturbed area of the site will be planted with a prairie culture. ij The first level of the building is at elevation 860.0 with the main entry at elevation 867.5. These elevations allow for the natural mounding of the site to diminish the height and size of the building. 3 ATTACHMENT #2 The basis of the development is to locate each major activity where it can best protect and utilize the major natural features of the site. The building, located on the narrow neck of land, is so placed to take advantage of the view to both Bryant Lake and the pond. To take advantage of the diverse topography, the building thrust out of the hillside hence complimenting it not overpowering it. To lessen the impact, the building steps from one to three stories, and is tucked behind the smaller of the 3 existing knolls. The natural vegetation between the building and the lake will be retained. However, selected pruning and the removal of dead and/or diseased plant material will be carried out. In addition, vegetation will be added as required for screening and accent. The relatively flat, open grass area affords the most ideal location for. parking. To diminish the impact of the automobile, the parking areas will be separated by a 4 foot vertical, 30 foot horizontal : planted green space. Each consecutive lot, when viewed from the main entry, steps up so that the view from the main building entry is into a series of green terraces. The same green terrace concept is true for the edge of the parking when viewed from the lake. To further soften the impact of parking upon the lake, the existing vegetation between the service drive and Attachment #2 Page Two the lake shore has been retained and strengthened with additional plant material. Site circulation is straightforward and simple. To insure maximum safety, site access is placed at the high point (with maximum sight distance) of Valley View Road. The entry drive moves from the high point downward through the wooded area toward the pond. breaking into the open, the site unfolds and the main building entry becomes visible for drop off and visitor parking. • Employees entering via the same route turn right to parking, then to the main circulation spine into the building. A strong planting of canopy trees identifies this area and gives direction to the ent.i. Service vehicles continue on past the parking to the service dock located on the first level of the side of the building. The three level, 165,000 square feet stepped building, will initially house 550 employees with internal expansion accommodating a maximum of 685 employees. ij Natural materials such as concrete and/or masonry will be used on the exterior of the building along with an amount of glass that will allow building occupants to fully experience the natural beauty of the site while at the same time demonstrates a commitment to maximum energy conservation. fp0� 4.

Hayden Loam, Heyder • loam and complex, LeSueur loam, and Cordova silty clays, are all present. Cordova formed under the influence of a prairie grass environment is characterized by a surface layer of black clay, or silty clay loam 10 to 20 inches deep. A subsoil from 20 to 36 inches deep, with firm olive gray clay loam underlaid with olive gray loam till. • Cordova soils are sticky and hard to work when wet. They become hard and cloddy upon drying, and increase in volume as water is added. They are normally found in flats and drainage ways, remain wet for long periods, arc moderate to slow permeable, and have a seasonal watertable 1 to 3 feet below the surface. Bedrock is usually greater than 60 feet below the surface. • LeSueur soil is very similar, too, and is closely associated with the Hayden soils. LcSueur differs from Hayden in having more gray color mottled with dark yellowish-brown in the layer subsoils and underlying material. Surface depths vary from 12 to 15 inches with 24 to 40 inches of subsoil. Attachment $3 Page Two LeSucur soils are found in low mounds and knolls, are seasonally wet for a short period, are moderately permeable with a seasonal water table of 3 to 5 feet below the surface. The Hayden and Heyder series differ in that Hayden is formed in loamy Grantsburg till over 20 feet thick, and Heyder is formed in Grantsburg till contaminated with Superior lobe drift. Surface depths are 7 to 10 inches for both, with subsurface varying from 24 to 40 inches and 28 to 48 inches respectively. Both are well drained, never saturated, and are moderately permeable. is The soil erodibility rating (K factor) is one of the five factors that make up the Universal Soil Loss equation. The higher the ”,. rical K value, the more erodible is the soil. In general, the K values have been grouped into three ranges: .23 and lower low erodibility .24 - .36 moderate erodibility .37 and higher high erodibility More specifically, the following K values for the soil on the proposed Super Valu site are: Low erodibility Heyder .20 Moderate Erodibility Cordova .24 Lesueur .32 High erodibility Hayden .37 • i Of/ 7 Attachment M3 Page Three By assigning these designations to the soil and by mapping each sepa- rate category, an illustration of soil erodibility can be shown and provisions for erosion control made. • • • (pig • -------- . ‘ ' . .. -, / . -;,.....,. - N..., ..,_ .--' ,- -- '' I •'7 ,------'---- v7„:-... :::,76.- ,. : i;,.:i'L7`. .,....,_/.4114 Ili" ; " ;••-; ' -., ._. ___ - . • '''''\v\' ' '' • ---- '., . •'%'•.‘ t • ,. .....,,,,,,, ,• , / : " .. . -- . • i it ,;;,.-::-....,:::,,,_---- • .t' N ‘,..`‘‘ ' • •..z..--.::.---,/,:- - _ / •\'' :r i ._ (/'''•8 ' / \ , ,:.

The site was used for agriculture until 1960 which impacted the native vegetation. Parts of the woodlands were cleared for crops, used for pasture and most likely harvested for forest products. Grazing and crop production have apparently eliminated the native prairie. The marshland, a transition bog area, and the steeper wooded slope appear to be in a natural condition. The unsuitability of these areas for agricultural land use probably account for this natural appearance. Vegetative Types: Five major vegetative types have been identified on the site. Each type is described and indicated in the following paragraphs and maps, along with the area and the percentage of the site occupied by each • vegetative type: A. MARSH - 40.3 acres or 29 percent of the site. The marsh category defines lowlands areas without standing water, but waterlogged within a few inches of the surface during the growing season. Marsh areas are found bordering Bryant Lake on the north- western and southern portion of the site and surrounds the pond. Vegetation type includes cattails, bulrushes, reed canary grass, and sedge&. 698 Attachment 114 Page Two B. OPENING WOODLAND - 17.1 acres or 12 percent of the site. Open woodland vegetation occupies the two knolls adja- cent to Bryant Lake, the northern tip of the west knoll and along the edge between the upland woodland and grass- land. Vegetation is characterized by mature overstory +I growth with grass and prickly ash as the understory. A Cattle grazing seems to have eliminated the natural understory in many areas. :j fi The vegetation of the east-most knoll and west-most knoll bordering Bryant Lake is predominatly mature burr oaks 1 with grass as the ground cover. The abondoned farmstead R is included in this area, and large overstory plantings aro found here. Plants observed at the abandoned farm- 1 stead include burr oak, red oak, sugar maple, silver maple, apple, willows, Norway pine, Colorado blue spruce, s lombardy poplar, lilac, honeysuckle, moonseed vine and various grasses. • 2. The vegetation of the northern tip of the western knoll is predominantly burr oak with a very profuse prickly ash understory. Otherplants found y un here include red oak, A. Norway pine, jack pine, a few ironwoods, a few sumacs, and bittersweet. Attachment #4 Page Three The edge area between the upland woodlands and grass- land contains a mature burr oak overstory with prickly ash, buckthorn, hawthorn and sumac as the understory. The vegetation in these edge areas is quite dense. C. UPLAND WOODLAND - 17.3 acres of 12 percent of land area. The upland woodland category defines area containing mature canopy vegetation along with understory vegeta- tion. Upland woodland vegetation occupies three areas of the site; a) western knoll, b) north facing slopes of southern wooded knoll, and c) the north side of the westernmost knoll bordering Bryant Lake. The upland woodland vegetation of area "a" is predominantly a bur oak, red oak overstory, with ironwood as the understory. One white oak was found in this area. 'i A small group of lindens and cherry trees are in the swale on the north facing slope. Wild grape and a few prickly ash were also in this area. In woodland "b", burr oak is the main overstory tree with mature ironwoods in the understory. Other species observed include one white oak, red oak, several black cherry, a group of lindens, buchthorn, wild grape, and a few prickly ash. 100 Attachment #4 • Page Four Woodland area "c" is a steep slope, vegetated almost entirely by burr oak and ironwood. Red oak is found here, but is few in number. D. TRANSITION BOG - 18.3 acres or 13 percent of the site. It occupies the lowland between the marshland and up- lands. The transition bog area is so named because the areas have transformed from a wetter habitat type, possibly a cattail marsh, to the present condition. j The major plant community in this category is redtwig 1 ; dogwood, willow, and bog birch thicket. The thicket is very dense and difficult to walk through. Along the woodland edge of the thicket, aspen, box elder, willow arc found; thus indicating dryer soil conditions. Plants observed in the transition bog were aspen, box elder, buckthorn, and paper birch. Understory plants include redtwig dogwood, willow, and bog birch. E. GRASSLANDS - 35.6 acres or 26 percent of the site. The grassland areas cover much of the site occupying abandoned fields and former pastures. 701 Attachment #4 Page Five The grasslands of the property consist primarily of grasses and forbes, however, many areas arc being invaded by woody vegetative types such as prickly ash and sumac. The greatest diversity of plant species was observed in the grassland areas. Plants found in the grasslands s' include: small ash, cedars, hawthorn, popular, small 1, Siberian elm, sumac, prickly ash, curly dock, milkweed, aster, Canadian thistle, goldenrod, sweet clover, and various grasses. Some old fence lines and roadside vegetation is also included in the grasslands category. These areas are different in that they have mature elms, black cherry, lombardy poplar and plum, in addition to grasses and forbes. 1 • -- ------ \................„0„,..--,----''-1—___ ---_ y. 11. 1 :. 1 '7 ' ,/ . /' .. f,' f' i.

Major highways on both the west and south sides of the property create an access and egress problem for many species. In addition, the noise level created by highway traffic also influences a few of the more secretive species. ATV (All Terrain Vehicles) utilize the site. This type of disturbance, especially during the spring and summer months, is very detrimental to almost all terrestrial species of wildlife. Waterfowl, upland game and many song birds are denied territories for nesting due to this disturbance; mammals are also affected. Several roads have cut the area into smaller habitats and have made the area readily accessible to man. Ornamental plantings, roads, a concrete platform, culvert, fireplace, litter, cleared shoreline, cattle grazing, agricultural production, • ATV trails,•powerboats, amphibious aircraft as well as the surrounding roads are all signs of human interference that have impacted the wildlife habitat of the site. The absence of all woodpeckers, nuthatchers, juncos, and ground eaters during visits and the low number of summer song bird nest indicates the site is not being utilized by many species. The 7Og Attachment #5 Page Two abundant amount of good browse (redtwig dogwood and aspen) that is untouched would seem to indicate the absence of white tailed deer. Despite the lack of a defined public access, Bryant Lake does support recreational fishing. Game species present in the lake of interest to fishermen include northern pike, largemouth base, bluegills, • pumpkinseeds and black crappies. Most of the angling success is with the panfish and largemouth bass. The prevalence of sand and gravel bottom shallows and associated aquatic plants is very conducive to panfish reproduction. As a result the general spawning potential of the lake as a whole is excellent for the bass and sunfish. Northern pike require a different habitat for.spawning and the vegetated marsh areas with sufficient water depth in the spring utilized by this species are very limited in Bryant Lake. As a result, natural reproduction of this important predator is problematic. High spring water levels flooding back into the marshes of the inlets and outlet areas would tend to favor reproduction of this species; but sufficiently high water levels apparently have not been frequent in the past. "2v"' Attachment #5 Page Three The spawning potential of the pond under present conditions appears quite limited. At current water levels there is no access to the pond from the lake for spawning fish. Even if such access existed, the unconsolidated, heavily organic nature of the pond bottom would not be particularly suited to spawning by the panfish and largemouth bass. The pond and shore vegetation would seem to offer greater potential for northern pike spawning provided water levels were sufficiently 4 high to allow access and egress by the adult fish, and provided water levels in springtime were high enough to allow spawning and 1 early development of young. The portion of Bryant Lake immediately adjacent to the property are for the most part shallow with widespread pebbly or gravel bottom and appear quite suited to sunfish and bass spawning. The shore area of the property appears to constitute in excess of 25% of the shoreline of the lake and, as such, its offshore waters obviously provide a significant percentage of the spawning area available in the lake. ')/O • 4. *tat measures will be used to minimize the volumes or impacts identified in questions 1-3? Sedimentation ponds will be used to control storm water run-off and discharge of sediment into Bryant Lake. Oil skimmers will be used in the ponding areas draininn the parking lot. 5. If the project is or includes a landfill, attach information on soil profile, depth to water table, and proposed depth of disposal. N.A. F. AIR QUALITY AND NOISE 1.

Is mass transit available to the site? g NO YES 3. What measures, including transit and paratransit services, are planned to reduce adverse impacts? Several transit options exist for Eden Prairie as outlined in the "Transit Potentials Interim Report". Eden Prairie Center is expected to be center of activity in the area and seems to be the logical location for several transit alternatives. These include Coordinated Transfer Service, Park-N-Ride, Service & Car and Van Pooling. Others not necessarily dependent on Eden Prairie Center as a central location are Fixed Route Deviation and Demand Responsive Service. J. PLANNING, LAND USE, COMMUNITY SERVICES 1.

The project is an office use for an area that had been shown as institutional multiple family in the 1968 Guide Plan. This designation means a mixture of use, which would include office uses. Municipal services such as sewer and water will be extended to the site as will power. Other municipal services such as police and fire protection and transportation systems are being planned as capacities warrant. The project is consistent with urban development standards and growth plans of the City. 2. The site will require grading of slopes to accommodate building pads and parking lots. Pending areas on the site will be engineered and constructed to control storm water drainage from all hard surface areas. • The site will largely be left in its natural state. The site will largely be left in its natural state. Bordering the site on the north is Bryant Lake, to the south is Valley View Road. 3. The development will be characterized by a regional office use, maintaining the majority of the site in its natural,pristine state. The project will respect all of the natural systems of the site and is consistent with City growth plans, therefore, it is of no more than local significance. I I I C 2.

The Planner Stated the City staff is recommending approval of the revised site plan based on the conditions in the staff report dated March 2, 1978, and the Engineering Supplement dated March 7 , 1978. The Planner then referred the Commission to the Preserve letter of 3-10-78 regarding response to the staff report. Redpath asked Mr.Hess why The Preserve is objecting to the sidewalk. Mr. Hess stated he agrees the sidewalk should be built, but does not believe it should be a contingency on the project McCulloch asked who the property owner to the south is. The Planner believed Hustad Development Company is the owner. • Bearman remarked that the redesign of the plats has created smaller lots. Mr. Hess replied the Second Addition had to be redesigned slightly to create access to the property to the west as recommended by the city staff. McCulloch inquired what basis The Preserve has for requesting "standard variances". Hess replied projects in the past have received similar variances, therefore the same variances are requested and referred to as Standard PUD variances. Sandstrom inquired what the city is receiving in trade-off for the variance requests. The planner stated the Hillsborough plat is basically in conformance with city ordinances, but the Second Addition due to NSP, sewer f, utility easements, and Airport Zone restrictionsrhas constraints which were difficult for the developer to deal with . Mr. Hess stated the development respects difficult soils and steep slopes, and the overall density is less than 2units/acre. • Motion 1: 6earman moved, Redpath seconded, to close the public hearing on Hillsborough and Hillsborough Second additions. Motion carried unanimously. Motion 2: Beaman moved, Redpath seconded, to recommend approval of the Hillsborough PUD for 149 single family lots on approximately 80 acres based on the �' PUD submission dated March 13, 1978 , and the staff reports of March 2, 1978 and March 7, 1978.

Mr. Hess apologized for submitting the revised plat late, but redesign was necessary after reviewing the plat with the County. He stated no lots would be platted into the floodplain and grading would only occur in the Conservancy Zone. approver Planning Cor,mistion Minutes -6- Feb. 13, 197E Mr. Hess informed ttr Commission the smallest lot is 10,300 square feet and the largest is about 1 acre in size . He added they are requesting lot size and setback variances. Mr. Lynch inquired what percentage of the lots are below the required 13,500 square feet requirement. Mr. Hess estimated 50% . The Planner stated that The Preserve is requesting standard PUD variances, but have not applied for.PUO Concept approval. Mr. Lynch felt the variances would be more favorably reviewed if the proponent requests a PUD approval. • Cherly Hutchinson, 9734 Mill Creek Drive, asked if the proposed project would drain into the Mill Creek pond which is spring fed. Mr.Hess replied affirmative. Cherly Hutchinson then asked for the average lot size of the Hillsborough plat. Mr. Hess replied 5 of the 34 lots are below 13,500 square feet in size. Dorothy Menaiis, 9715 Mill Creek Drive, inquired how close the back lot lines of the single family plat are from the closest Mill Creek unit. Mr. Hess estimated 80 feet. • Motion: n .{;•:� i, ,_cved, Schee seconded, to continue the Hillsborough plats to the Feb. 27th meeting for staff reports.

I suggest that the liability of the homeowners in Hillsborough I and II be limited to the 423 per front foot State Aid Assessment for the improvement of Homeward Hills Road. In addition, since Homeward Hills Road is in a transitional construction phase, I would recommend that construction of a concrete sidewalk be deferred until the final upgrading construction. I am concerned that much of the sidewalk put in now would be destroyed, ruined or be in the wrong place when final con- struction occurs. This would result in a double cost to the Hillsborough homeowners ,..d/or City. Item 2).d. - A cash park fee is required by Ordinance 332 to fund land acqui- sition for this area; therefore it would seem reasonable that a credit for the value of Outlot A in Hillsborough Second Addition should be given against the 5275/lot fee for the Hillsborough lots. City policy on fees and dedication should be applied consistently with the land being developed to the south. Item 2).f. - Attached is a updated preliminary plat of Hillsborough Second Addition that responds to the question of access to the property to the west (Street D). However, the Hillsborough residents will need assurances that the property west of •Street D will be developed to a low density residential land use. I believe we are in general agreement with the staff on the platting and zoning of Hillsborough and because of construction deadlines I urge favorable action at your March 13 meeting.

ACCESS, CIRCULATION The First Addition h;is one internal dead-end road with 4 cul-de-sacs serving the 34 lots. Access is from Homeward (tills Road. The Second Addition takes one access from Co.Rd. 1 and 2 from Homeward (tills Road. A dead-end road abuts the west border of the proposed second addition and will connect to future development of the property to the east. Upon completion of the projects it is estimated that 1260 ADT will he generated. Homeward dills Road, preliminary indication of a collector on the Guide flan • Update, and County Road 1, shown as a minor arterial , will carry these trips. Homeward Hills Road will provide a major connection to Schooner Boulevard and the Major Center Area, and US l69/212 to the south. • Tlir staff has requested the proponent to dedicate additional ROW on Homeward Hills Road from the (lb feet shown to SO feet, the standard for a future collector road. There arc no lots fronting on Homeward Hills Road or Co.Rd. I. The proposed plan has :shown one roadway area with slopes of up to IOS. The City Engineer has determined that 7'.1, should he the maximum wherever possible. The proponent has been requested by the staff to decrease this gradient to the standard. • )2-f) • • Staff Report-Hillsborough L Hillsborough Second March 2, 1978 page 3 SOILS, TOPOGRAPHY, GRADING: The Second Addition topography is characterized by a knoll in the north- central and central portions of the site, dropping off gently to the east and west. The site drops off about 90 feet very sharply to the south. Lots that are platted on the steep slopes are narrow and long to help in the preservation of the grades. The First Addition has two high areas in the cast and west center of the site and drops off in all directions • from them . Purgatory Creek runs on the east and south borders of the site where the gradients increase significantly. The grading is shown to be quite significant on the two sites. The Second Addition has cuts of up to 20 feet on the highest point of the site, the fill being utilized primarily on the lower,southern area. A 15 to 25 foot grade will separate the most southern houses from the area to be dedicated, . Outlot A. Significant amounts of grading will also take place on the First Addition, generally leveling the upper portions of the site and filling in the lower areas on the perimeter. Maximum cuts on the site will be about 16 feet, with the maximum fills of about 8 feet. Finished grades are shown to not exceed 2:1 ( I vertical foot to 2 horizontal feet). The soils on the sites are primarily made up of the soil series Salida, Esterville, Dickman, and Hubbard with smaller areas of Kennebec, Biscay and peat soils. The latter group of soils are concentrated on the southern portion of the Second Addition and are less desirable for this development. The soils which occupy the largest part of the sites are good soils for residential development. These soils have a sandy loam texture and have a good bearing capacity and shear strength. Changes in volume with changes in moisture content is\cry low and presents no problem. However, erosion occurs quite easily when vegetation is removed,so erosion control measures must be taken to prevent this. The poorer soils on the site, Kennebec and Biscay will be filled upon. These soils have a high hazard of frost heave, but because they are underlain by sand, they have a fair to good bearing capacity. .

Any elm trees marked for Dutch Elm Disease should be removed prior to April 15, 1978. • OPEN SPACE, TRAILS • • In the First Addition, the dedicated land corresponds roughly to the floodplain • of Purgatory Creek. The Conservancy Arca, as represented in the Purgatory Creek Study of 1974, will not contain any huilding pads. Conservancy Arca is defined as the area needed to provide adequate protection for the resources associated with the creek corridor. The land dedication proposed for the Second Addition is outlot A, a low , wet area on.the southern reaches of the property. A trail should be constructed along Homeward Hills Road in the traditional sense of • • a sidewalk. It should be S feet wide, constructed of concrete, and be placed in the road right-of-way on the west sideof the roadway surface. A major trail • along Co. Rd. 1 will be constructed in the future and will connect to the Homeward Hills Trail. • RECO>IME.NDATIONS • The Planning Staff recommends approval of the requests as follows: • 1). Rezoning from Rural to RI-13.5 with lot size and density variances as listed in the report dated March 2, 1978. 2). Preliminary plat approval based upon the following conditions: a. grading and filling should occur in a sensitive manner, disturbing only the areas of the site directly affected. Temporary erosion control measures should be used during construction, per Riley/ Purgatory Creek Watershed District recommendations to insure soil loss is kept to a minimum. • b. permanent erosion control measures and sedimentation ponds should • be implemented to help assure the continued integrity of the creek • corridor. All storm sewer out lot areas should be associated with • sedimentation devices. All drainage and erosion control plans shall be implemented according to Riley/Purgatory Creek Watershed District recommendations. Ground cover should be established • immediately upon completion of grading, especially on any slopes greater than 8',. c. a trail he constructed m the west side of homeward Hills Road in the right of way from Co.Rd. l south to the southern property line.

Thank you f_r submitting this plat for our review. We reviewed the proposed plat and have the following recommendations for your consideration: 1. Dedicate for roadway purposes, an additional 17 feet of right of way for a total of 50 feet from and along the centerline of CSAH 1. s. 2. The proposed new access locations from the plat to CSAH 1, are not acceptable. These locations do not meet sight distance requirements for exiting vehicles. A vehicle waiting to exit onto CSAH 1 should have an unobstructed view of 740 feet to the left and 700 feet to the right. These figures are based upon the roadways 50 m.p.h. speed limit. Actual sight distance at the proposed access points is as follows: - West location (Street E) 515 feet left, 630 feet right. • - East location (Street G) 400 feet left, sight distance to right is good. We recommend locating a new access approximately 630 feet west of Homeward Hills Road. An access at this location will have sight distance of over 1000 feet to the left and over 980 feet to the right. HENNEPIN COUNTY an equoi opportunity employer I 2 3. The developer must apply for and receive an approved entrance permit before beginning access construction. Permit' forms are available from our Traffic Division. 4. All access must be via City streets. Separate driveways to CSAH 1, will not be permitted. 5. Sight distance to the left at Homeward Hills Road is below the 740 feet minimum. Actual sight distance left is 630 feet. Since Homeward Hills Road will function as a collector carrying considerable traffic to and from CSAH 1, serious consideration should be given to relocating the CSAH 1/Homeward Hills Road intersection. 6. Any construction within County right of way requires County Engineer approval before beginning construction. This includes, but is not limited to, drainage and utility construction (utility permits required), trail development, and landscaping. 7. The developer must restore all areas within County right of way disturbed during construction. Please direct any response or questions on the above comments to Douglas Mattson at this office.

The following policies and criteria of the Watershed District are applicable for these projects: • 1. A grading and land alteration permit application must be submitted to the District for both additions of this development. A detailed erosion control plan showing how sediment will be prevented fr.<, leaving the development site both during and after construction must be included along with a plan illustrating the staging of 's grading and the timing of each stage must be submitted to the District. A revegetation plan and specifications indicating areas that wills. be revegetated with sod, seed, mulch and special revegetation t techniques that will be used in particularly sensitive areal. must be submitted to the District. The revegetation plan must also '! include the estimated time between the completion of grading and the commencement of revegetation. 2. A detailed utility plan must be submitted to the District for review and approval. The District encourages the use of upland storm •water storage areas on development sites. The District requests that the developer investigate the possibility of providing ponding areas on the development sites, especially on the 2nd Addition. 3. The Board of Managers indicated that a bond will likely be required on the 1st Addition to insure that proper erosion control measures `l are carried out. , • Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this development at an !' early stage.

Hess, Jr. Vice President - Architecture & Planning a OWNERSHIP .. The entire property is owned in fee by The Preserve a copartnership of "The Minnesota Gas Company" and "Carter & Gertz, Inc". . THE PROPONENT - The nature of The Preserve's business, its experience as well as its fiscal responsibility is well known from previous 3-9 years experience working in the community. EXTSTING USAGE- Rural zoning - open field. PROPOSED USAGE - Only the 80 acre portion of the Herman Property lying south of Pioneer Trail is being proposed for rezoning, preliminary and final platting as per F.H.A. specifications. The remaining 38 Acres+ tract lying north of Pioneer Trail will be proposed at a later date and•is not a of this proposal. A portion of the south site lying west of Homeward Hills Road and east of the NSP transmission line is proposed for 13 duplex lots fronting on Homeward Hills Road. • This usage will require R.M. 6.5 zoning. All of the remaining buildable areas of the site are proposed for 146 single family (R.M. 13.5) lots suitable for housing comparable to Northmark II and Garrison Forest developments in The Preserve P.U.D. 70-3. The project is not a part of the original Preserve P.U.D. 70-3 and is not adjacent to it. Consequently the following schedule of park fees is anticipated unless other arrangements are made: 146 single family @ S275.0D 13 R.M. 6.5 units @ 5200.00 , SITE ANALYSIS SOILT-- by S.C.S. Most of the site is comprised of Salida, Estherville and Dickman sandy loamy or i'ubbard loamy sand all of which posses's very high suitability for building development. Only a minor portion of the proposed lotting area is "assay clay loam which is located at the toe of slope in the west site. Approximately 10 building sites will require special footing and foundation oreparatien to meet F.H.A. specifications. "; A Total Environment Community—8920 Frania�d.,Eden Prairie,Minn. 55343—(612)941.2001 Herman Acres - Zoning ?. Platting Request Page 2 SLOPES A rather small percentage of the site is composed of slopes exceeding lErf. The pro- posed grading and lotting plan leaves significant portions of these slopes untouched. VEGETATION No significant tree growth exists upon the proposed building and grading area of the _ site. • FLOOD PLAIN The proposed lotting and grading plan excludes all areas of the site identified on city maps as Purgatory Flood Plain. CO'.SERVANCY ZONE There are no building pads or lot grading within the Purgatory Conservancy zone as identified on city maps. TRANSITION ZONE • The proposed grading plan is designed to maximize control of surface drainage within the area designated as transition zone on city maps. METRO AIRPORT COMMISSION - NEF 25 Zone Proposed lotting limits are outside that portion of the site where non-corrected NEF 25 noise contours are projected if the 81 improvement program is implemented at Flying Cloud. • The Preserve's E.I.S. prepared by N.U.D. indicated that standard single family con- struction upon this site would satisfactorily mitigate projected air traffic noise impacts upon future residents. It further recorrended that all new construction include air conditioning to permit closed window operation of affected units. (See 81 map inclusion) 66" SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT The cast portion of the site is affected by the previous placement of a metro sewage interceptor. The proposed lotting pattern in corporates this restriction to develop- ment. • '75' N.S.P. EASEMENT The west site sector is affected by the restriction to development caused by the 7241 Herman Acres - Zoning t Platting Request Page 3 • Previous placement of transmission lines. The proposed lotting dnd zoning pattern attempts to incorporate development which is marketable. • CITY SERVICES Both sewer and water services are available to the proposed development. PUBLIC DECISIONNS Aside from the typical issues regarding standard zoning and lotting proposals the current proposal requires that the following additional issues be addressed: (Variances requested) ThePreserve's standard P.U.D. side yard setback variances are proposed to be employed to permit continuity of development standards in Preserve projects and..to permit maximum flexibility in responding to slope conditions. a .5'_ setback to nearest garage wall without living space _ over or behind. - 10' setback to nearest main house wall 11/4 story. 15' setback to nearest main house wall 2 story. (Parks and open space) A decision will be required to specify the city's requirements for park land dedication and or payment of park fees. (Land alteration permit) • The proposed plan is intended to address the concerns of the Riley-Purgatory Watershed District. The permit should be secured concurrent with the City's zoning and platting process. (Metro Council Review) Since the project is affected to some limited extent by the operation of Flying Cloud a review of "Metro Council" may be necessary. If a review is required it should be conducted concurrently within normal city review time frames. SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL • The proposal including application materials have been prepared by The Preserve or consultant staffs to assist in the public presentation of the platting and rezoning application. The Preserve staff will be happy to provide additional information or clarification at any point prior to, during or after the public presentation process regarding this y, proposal.

A continued public hearing. The Planner referred the Commission to the Feb. 2I, 1978 letter from The Preserve regarding outlots E and F and stated The Preserve has agreed to alternate access to outlot D, perhaps'along the south side of the storm water retention pond. He added The Preserve has indicated that outlot G will be developed in duplexes. The Planner suggested the northern part of outlot E,and outlot Fashould be dedicated to the public , and the storm water pond within outlot E should remain in Preserve association ownership with use available to the public. Don Hess, The Preserve, stated he agrees with the staff report and recommendations. Sundstrom asked if anyone in the audience had questions or comments. Mr. Kurland, 10186 Laurel Drive, objected to the pond remaining in Preserve ownership as - it would remove it from public use.

The Planner referred the Commission to the two staff reports and the engineering report with recommendations on the platting, land use, diseased trees, deer corridor, etc., Mr. Hess, The Preserve, stated The Preserve does not believe the deer corridor has to be flared to the extent the staff is requesting and that the fence and additional plantings along the proposed corridor should not be the developer's responsibility. He stated they are still unsure of the access possibility for outlot D. Redpath suggested access to outlot 0 he resolved prior to Commission recommendation on the plat and rezoning requests. McCulloch also believed the Commission should not take any action on the Amsden Hills III plat unless access to Outlot D is known. Schee suggested the proponent prepare alternatives for access and return for Planning Commission review. Lynch inquired if members of the audience had questions or comments. None were raised.

Amsden Hills III Werts spoke to the proposal and to the Staff report of February 3, 1978, recommending that the Commission consider three points - (1) widening of the doer corridor where it meets with Anderson Lakes Parkway and Franlo Road and to fence and screen the corridor (2) suitable access to Out- lot D so that there is no interference with the corridor (3) Preserve should receive credit for the deer corridor through the northern section of Outlet E, and balance of land remain in Homeowners Association possession. Kingrcy questioned whether we would have any kind of deer population in fifty years. Anderson responded that according to Les Blacklock's plan, this could be done. Werts responded to a question by Kruell on the non-application of the cash park fee for this proposal, explaining that this area is part of the original preserve PUD. She added that the question of getting "cash in lieu of land" does apply to the area around the Les Blacklock line, but not in the rest of tie Preserve.

Mr. Hess replied affirmative. Lynch remarked that approximately 30% of the lots are under the 13,500 square foot size minimum . Sundstrom inquired how the island in the cul-de-sac would be handled. Mr.-Hess replied it would be deeded to the City and mainatained by the HOA. Retterath asked if the City would be requiring the developer to remove diseased trees during initial construction.

The Preserve will not request access to Outlet D across Outlet F. 2. Outlet F (the doer corridor) will be widened at the'two ends per the attached sketch. a. 3. Outlet E and F will be n zero mainenance area and allowed to "return to nature". After construction is completed in the adjacent areas of Amsden III and Outlet G, Outlet F will be reviewed to deter- mine if supplemental underbrush and overstory vegetation is required. Cyclone fencing shall not • be required unless a high density multiple develop- ment on Outlet G is proposed by the developer. If such a proposal is brought forward, its site plan shall include a boundary treatment between Outlets F and G consisting of the fencing, slopes and plantings needed to limit the higher intrusion potential resulting from the higher density. 4. Outlet G is currently (wider negotiation for sale as a double bungalow site with a lotting plan sim- ilar to that shown on the attached sketch. If the negotiations are successful a proposal will be be- fore you shortly. No development ue(;otiations are • underway for Outlet D at the present time.

There are a total of 3U lots on the 16 acres for an overall density of 1.88 units/acre. The maximum density in Ord. 135 is 2 units/acre. Lot sizes range from 11,050 square feet to 31,750 sourre feet and average 15,000square feet. Lot size variances will he required to accommodate the lots under13,500 square feet. The following are provisions of Ord. 135 for the R1-13.5 District: 2 units / acre maximum density 30 feet front setback 10 feet-25feet side setbacks; one side-both sides 20 feet rear setback 13,500 square foot minimum lot size Variances requested by the proponent are as follows: 5 foot setback to nearest garage wall without living space over or behind. 10 foot setback to nearest main house wall, 11/2 story 15 foot setback to nearest main house wall , 2 story The frontage of lot 9, Block 3, is shown as 40 feet. The minimum acceptable frontage for lots is 45 feet, so this should be changed to reflect this. • • -7 59 Staff Repert-lckden Hills III -3- Jan. 25, 1978 ACCESS A CIPCUI ATION The 39 single family lots gain access from Franlo Road and Anderson Lakes Parkway through i'n,sden Hills I and 11 respectively. The project could generate 250i AUI per day a"on cuauletion, most of which will be funneled to Anderson Lakes Parkway east and west. (traffic generation figures based upon 8.5 average. daily trips per day per single family dwelling unit). When Franlo Road was realicned to intersect Anderson Lakes Parkway, the dedica- tion of the new ROW from Th; Preserve has never taken place nor has the vaca- tion of the old ROW to the respective owners. This should be taken care of prior to any final approvals. The northern cul-de-sac is shown to have a center island. The center portion of the island is outside of the road ROW but does not have an outlot designa- tion. The staff reconmmends that the island outside of the ROW be shown as an outlot on the final plat and that it not be deeded to the City, but rather be owned and maintained by the homeowner's association. There will also be a 1I foot strip inside the RCil that will be part of the island owned by theCity. The Preserve has agreed to maintain both the portion of the island owned by the HUA and that part eened by the City.

GRADING F. VEGETATION The proeonc:it has provided maps illustrating steep slopes, soils and • vegetation. Generally, the site is severely undulating and heavily t:ooded. The main tree specie on the site is oak, but there also large populations of elm, ash , basswood, ironwood , and some aspen. Dutch Elm Disease is apparent in many of the elms, with only a fraction of them marked and tagged for removal. The City Forester has recommended that all diseased trees he removed during initial construction and those that are marked be removed prior to April 15th. A pile of elm and other tree species located approximately in the north/south roadway of Amsden Hills II should also be removed before April 15th. • The grading plan proposed shows a very sensible treatment of the site in the grading of the roads. However, the City Forester has recommended that any oaks receiving significant cuts or fills during the grading of the road, be removed. Removal at this time will prevent a more difficult removal after the subdivision is built-up. ( oak trees are very susceptible to construction damage). Sensitive individual site grading will provide beauti- - fully wooded walkout lots. • The soils are made-up of the soil series Erin which is a well drained soil having a loamy texture. The slopes range from 0-24%. Bearing capacity and • shear strength of this soil series is fair, and changes in volume with changes in moisture content are moderate to moderately high. Fairly wide footings are needed. These soils erode easily, so erosion control, on slopes over • 12%, is imperative where vegetative cover is removed. Sodding and seeding should occur as soon as possible following construction. • LAND USE 0B,1CCTIVES The proponent is requesting preliminary platting for Outlets D,E, F,G and H which are not to he rezoned or final platted. The staff requests that the proponent make their specific intentions clear as to the uses for these outlets, especially Outlots D and G. High density residential is indicated in the application material. Outlet E is a low stormwater pending area that drains a majority of the site aid will be considered part of the • doer cor•ridor.Out.lot I is to be left as an open space deer corridor, allowing migration through the developed areas to and from habitat areas in Anderson Lakes and Purgatory Creek. Outlot D appears to be a land-locked area unless a road is considered on the south side of the pon:ing area or on the north side of the pending area, the latter which ,auuld again cross the proposed deer corridor. The staff feels that an additional road o, ro•s the ch•er corridor would he a very • detrioi,mtal obstructing in oe aiready difficult corridor situation, causing the crossing of reads in less than 1000fect. The staff requests that the proponent present a rc.rsenahle access alternative without crossing the deer • corridor, if an access cannot he located to the future development areas 'J(p l ; • Staff Report-1iasden Hills III -5- Jan. 25, 19/8 • • • without interfering with or crossing the deer corridor, it is the • staff's opinion that this platting configuration is not acceptable. Outlot F, shown as the doer corridor, is ;II the staff's opinion :•ride orlotiOi allee tbroueii, hoeever, tit c two ends of the corridor should be flared-out. to 250 feet + from at least 100 feet frost the ends. ( see figure 1 ). This is to allc., ca_i r visual con[act with • the corridor for the deer. Once the .leer have moved into the 100 foot • wide corridor, the width should he sufficient to alto, movement, providing • that there are sufficient visual barriers on both sides to define the • corridor. The staff recommends that dense underbrush and tree cover be established alen,_i the borders of the proposed deer corridor , as well as the flaring of the entrance areas and that the access to Outlot D not cross it. A fence should also be constructed along the corridor sides • in conjunction with the plantings to discourage excessive pedestrian movement through the corridor. A..ny approvals concerning the deer corridor • and Amsden stills IlI do not preclude future special treatments reouired of • these projects for the veer corridor when Outlots D and G are developed. • • • • S U t t "TAR Y • Outlet D, having access limitations is an important issue in the staff's nninion, especially as it relates to the proposed deer cerridor. The following • should be considered in the approval, denial or modification of the plat: 1. The proponent should not plat a road across the deer corridor to 'serve as access to Outlet D. 2. The deer corridor should be widened at the 2 ends to at least • 250 feet starting at a point at least 100 feet from each end. • 3. Dense underbrush and overstory vegetation should he established • to define the corridor and to allow easier movement through the corridor by the deer. This planting scheme should be explained by the proponent.fencino,egual to 6'cyclone , shoulc occur along the border of the corridor in conjunction with the plantings. • 4. The proponent should provide more specific information on Outlots D and C. • • 5. The cul-de-sac island shall he maintained by the 110A through agreement with the City or el ir:inated. G. The developer shall work with the City Forester to determine the extent and method of tree removal during overall site development. the removal of • diseased alto and marginally Ic:.tted oak trees is ininortant in the di•,rat,' • film?, sanitation program and also prevents the more costly removal alto). ue Iup- ,,,e„r ai ilia area tic rrrru,v,'d.

Hoieve r, rezoning of these outlets will be reviewed by the Planning Cce ission. The following would he appropriate actions by the Planning Cominission: 1. Recommend to the City Council approval of the preliminary plat dated Jan. 12, 1978 and the rezoning to R1-13.5,with lot size and setback variances , 30 lots on 16 acres. • 2. Request modification of the plat as per items 1-4 on page 4 of the Jan. 25, 1978 staff report. 3. Deny the project on the basis of road access to Outlot D because of crossing the deer corridor. The Planning Staff would recommend Alternative 2, providino the access problems S. to Outlot D are satisfactorily resolved.

EXISTI',G USAGE The existing underlying land use is presently zoned rural - P.U.D. medium density residential. Its current and previous use has been that of a wood lot. PROPOSED 'USAGE The developer's proposed low density residential use downgrades the previously app- roved medium density residential portion of the Area 5 P.U.D. conre7t. It is felt • that the proposed downgrading of density is consistent with adjacent plattings which have been similarly downgraded by previous commcil actions.

The site is north of the present Minnesota Mini • Storage building at 6570 Flying Cloud Drive. The Planner referred the Commission to the staff report which answers the pre- vious questions of the Commission, and stated Mr. Hubbard is present to go over questions and outline sight distances and site treatment. Mr. Hubbard reviewed the building locations proposed, surrounding property uses, adjacent road systems, existing and proposed screening. and sight distances. Mr. Redpath inquired how many garage doors would be visible from the freeway. Mir. Hubbard stated the garage doors are on the north and south sides of the proposed building and very little would be visible from the freeway. Redpath then complimented the proponent on the existing building. The Planner stated landscaping and screening would be accomplished according . to City ordinance. F, Lynch inquired if any members of the audience had questions or comments. None were raised.

Mini-Storage 2nd -2- Feb. 2, 1978 LAND USE: The site is shown on the 1968 Guide Plan as Commercial Regional Service with preliminary indication on the Guide Plan Update as commercial. Surrounding uses are conniercial and industrial. The staff feels that this proposed plan would be a suitable use for this property. ZONING REQUEST: The proponent requests rezoning from Rural and Highway Commercial to I-2 Park. The following are provisions of Ord. 135 for the I-2 Park District: 50' front yard setback 20-40' sideyard setback; one side, both sides 25' rearyard setback 40ac. minimum zoning area ACCESS, CIRCULATION: Access to the site will be through the first addition for the public. A service entrance comes into the property on the east side from flying Cloud Drive in the form of a platted 24 foot road easement. It is estimated that 50 ADTs will be added to Flying Cloud Drive upon completion of the project. (Based upon 16 trips/acre/day). These additional trips are minimal and will not overburden existing transportation systems. SOILS, TOPOGRAPHY, GRADING AND VEGETATION: Soils • The soils on the site are made-up of the series Hayden and Hamel. The Hayden soils which occupy the majority of the site are generally loamy and well-drained. These soils have a fair bearing capacity and shear strength; fairly wide footings are needed for foundations. The low drainage way which corresponds with the proposed storm sewer and consists of the poorly drained. clay to loam Hamel soils. The bearing capacity and shear strength on this soil is poor to fair. • 9311 Stafff Report-Mn.Mini-Storage 2nd -3- Feb. 2, 1978 Topo & Grading The site generally slopes from north to south to the low area between the first and second additions. This swale drains storm water not only from this site , but also the adjacent property to the east and part of the Ghengis Kahn property. About 8 feet of fill will be placed in this swale to accommodate the grading of the second addition. A storm sewer system will be installed • to handle the off-site and on-site drainage. This storm sewer will empty into an existing outfall area of US 169/212 and drain from there along the highway ditch to the southwest. Vtation The site of the proposed 2nd addition was formerly a nursery for growing trees. The proponent should move most of these trees to use in the screening and land- scaping of the project. SCREENING: The proponent has agreed to retaining the existing earth berm along the US 169/212 border, and ex'e d it toward the first additio- to meet the existing berm there. Tree plantings should be used to screen any areas that a berm cannot be constructed. The existing trees on the site should be transplanted in conjunction with berming to provide adequate screening. RECOM 1ENDATIONS The staff recommends approval of the rezoning from Rural and Highway Commercial to 1-2 Park contingent upon the following: 1). Screening occur along the US 169/212 border, consisting of earth berming and evergreen and deciduous tree plantings. Prior to issuance of the building permit a landscape plan must be submitted to and approved by the Planning Department. in accordance with Ord. 178, and screening of garage doors and loading areas. 2). The storm sewer plan be approved by the City Engineering Department. 3). Erosion control be implemented , in the form of hay bales, during construction to prevent excessive soil loss. 4). Cash in lieu of land be required as per Ord. 332. 5). Signage be limited to existing signs for Mini-Storage I.

P0.BOX 186 a WAYZATA:MINNESOTA 55391 ■ 612/473-9591 City of Eden Prairie January 10, 1978 • Eden Prairie. Minnesota Minnesota Mini-Storage is owned by E. H. Jaroszewski And W. B. Hubbard. We have a contract for deed with Helmer Greguson on the remaining 3.06 acres of land next to our present facility. We want to add on to our present facility at 6570 Flying Cloud Drive. The 3.06 Acres lyes to the north of our site. This parcel is presently zoned Rural with a small portion zoned Highway Commercial. We would like to have it zoned light industrial (I2) to permit expansion of our Mini Storage. The existing Mini Storage is zoned I2 and some of the adjoining property owners to the east are in the process of requesting 12 zoning. We feel I2 zoning is compatably with the development of the area and it complyes with the Lake Smetana report I saw last. We do not need any variances from the I2 zoning ordiance that we know of. We are proposing to build 7 buildings, totaling 34,600 square feet. The buildings would be built the same as and of the same materials as the existing facility. The site plan shows how the buildings set on the site. All runoff surface water would enter a storm sewer line which would be built in the bed of the existing ditch which has handeled the run off far longer then we have owned the property. Minnesota Mini-Storage will own the site and improvements. The morgake will be in our name. The project will add very little to any traffic counts and no improvements are necessary to the existing streets. The entrance to our present Facility will also serve the added space. We would like to break ground Spring 197E and complete the project in the summer 1978. • We propose to maintain the existing berms as buffers to Highway 169. Evergreens would be planted to link the northern end of the berm to the northern most building. In addition to the highway fence we will have fence around the rest of the properly. We look forward to our meeting and discussion on this matter. YIr;NESOTA f.'.IN -STORAGE >r _ t''•(A.

L. Coo.. • '.ing, Inc. $207,1113.00 Brawn K Cris, Inc. 227,380.00 The bids on Section II are higher than anticipated, primarily due to the high ground water table, an area of soils where piling I ,. is rtyuired and an unusually large number of restrained joints where pipe alicl,w,ent ch,ntges. The bids on Section I are very close to the estimied costs. Although we e;ould have welcomed additional bids, we feel that the low bids rellest the true costs of the project.
