Eden Prairie,.MN 55343 Dear Mayor Penzel: We request a few minutes on your agenda in October or early November to acouaint you with developments under the new Clean Air Act which are important to your community. Also, we will ask you to designate yourself or a council member as a liaison we may contact during the next several months with information related to required state plans. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 encourage local and regional governments to assume a greater responsibility for air quality planning. The planning involves developing, implementing and enforcing measures needed to attain ambient air quality standards. Two important deadlines, January 1, 1979 and July 1, 1979, are only a few months away. • The opinions and desires of your community must be considered in the process of revising state plans. Much information important to your community will develop while the state plan is prepared. The involvement of local elected representatives, as yourself, is greatly needed to make sure plans are reasonable, can work, and are needed. We would like to attend one of your upcoming council meetings to give a short explanation of the requirements under the Clean Air Act and to answer any questions you currently have. We'll call for an agenda slot of 5-7 minutes in the next couple weeks. At that time we will ask you to designate one of your council, or yourself, as the liaison with whom we may exchange information in the future and who can relay your opinions and positions on particular programs, strategies and plans. A conference for these elected officials will be held this winter. The Metro Clean Air Committee, part of the American Lung Association of Hennepin County, has long been interested in public participation in clean air planning. We are working with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Metropolitan Council to help those agencies be sure that people affected by clean air decisions help make those decisions. We pledge ourselves to help in any way we can. We look forward to a fruitful meeting. Sincerely yours, tjecA.-e^ /(--7677t-` Barbara L.

MOTION: Pauly moved, seconded by Osterholt, to continue the Prairie East 7th Public Hearing to the September 19, 1978 Council meeting. Motion carried unanimously. B. Anderson Lakes Parkway Apartments by The Preserve, request to rezone approximately 9 acres from Rural to RM 2.5 for 126 rental apartment units (Ordinance No. 78-40) Continued from August 15, 1978 Mayor Penzel referred to communication from Lee W. Johnson, The Preserve, dated August 31, 1978, requesting a continuation of the Anderson Lakes Parkway Apartments Public Hearing to the September 19, 1978 Council meeting. MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Pauly, to continue the Anderson Lakes Parkway Apartments Public Hearing to the September 19, 1978 Council meeting. Motion carried unanimously. .23 i') Council Minutes - 3 - Tues.,September 5, 1978 B. Anderson Lakes Parkway Apartments (continued) Councilman Bye requested Staff to advise The Preserve that concerns have been expressed by a number of residents in The Preserve that they have received inadequate information , and that this is also a strong concern of the Council. Bill Herbert, 11030 Northmark Drive, commented that residents of The Preserve have also received late notice to attend meetings from The Preserve management, and requested that the Council convey this concern along with Councilman Bye's. C. Bluff's West 2nd Addition by Hustad Development Corporation by Hustad, Dr. & Mrs. Brandt, and B.F.I. Request for rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 and approval of revised preliminary plat of approximately 194 units on 97 acres. Consideration and discussion on cul-de-sacing Riverview Road. (Ordinance No. 78-41; Resolution No. 78-154 and Resolution No. 78-167) City Manager Ulstad explained there is an affidavit on file calling for this Public Hearing and the proponents have appeared before the Planning Commission and the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission. Further that all affected property owners on file have been notified of this Public Hearing. Dick Putnam, Hustad Development Corporation, spoke to the proposal, the revised plat, and answered questions of Council members. Jean Johnson, Planning Assistant, explained the Environmental Assessment Worksheet is based on 200 units and will be revised as per Council direction. Both the Planning Commission and the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission have recommended approval of the proposal contingent on the Staff Report dated July 21, 1978, which Ms. Johnson outlined to the Council along with the Planning Commission minutes dated July 24, 1978. The plan was also submitted to the Lower Minnesota Watershed District and the Riley Purgatory Creek Watershed District and, as of this date, the City has not heard from the Lower Minnesota Watershed District. Ms. Johnson further commented that approval should be made contingent upon their recommendation. Osterholt questioned if it wouldn't be better for the City to ask for park dedication rather than a cash park fee. Meyers commented that part of the rezoning agreement should attempt to negotiate what land will be purchased and for how much. Putnam explained the site is 20 - 25 acres and the City staff has been in contact with Hustad and BFI and negotiations are open on the price. City Engineer Jullie spoke to Resolution No. 78-167 regarding the cul-de-sacing of Riverview Road, explaining there is serious erosion occurring on Riverview Road and he has met with the Hennepin County official in charge of licensing for the landfill and the Pollution Control Agency in hopes to resolve the concerns. Because of the continuing high maintenance and the intrusion of off the road vehicles, which cause erosion to become even more severe, Jullie recommended the cul-de-sacing of Riverview Road at a point approximately 5100 feet easterly from TH 169 and also at a point approximately 1150 feet west and south of Homeward Hills Road. 99,155 Council Minutes - 4 - Tues.,September 5, 1978 C. Bluff's West 2nd Addition (continued) Pauly stated she feels the solution would be to stop the erosion rather than cul-de-sacing. Bye urged the developer to address the park situation as the City has a commitment to parks in the area. Further, Bye stated, when the City doesn't have a price we see the price go up and the City ends up paying more for the parkland. Putnam explained the site under consideration for a park site is about a 20 - 25 acre site north of the property. At such time as the City would like to talk to BFI, Putnam stated Hustad will be willing to bring the two together to negotiate (BFI and the City). Bye commented the park comes first, then the development. Osterholt stated it might be well to submit the EAW to M.A.C. or the Planning Board and address concerns regarding schools, 60% alteration of the land, and if this is to be or part of the wildlife area it would be wrong to have a home development in this area. Meyers requested that the exhibit from Kennedy be removed and the July 21, 1978 Staff Report inserted instead. Mrs. Brandt, 12300 Riverview Road questioned where the cul-de-sacing of Riverview Road would take place. City Engineer Jullie showed a graphic illustrating where the cul-de-sacs are proposed. MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Pauly, to request Staff to address questions asked this evening on the park site and price, and continue the Bluff's West 2nd Addition Public Hearing to the September 19, 1978 Council meeting. Motion carried unanimously. It was the consensus of the Council that Riverview Road not be cul-de-saced at this time, as it was not felt this would alleviate the problem. Council requested our Public Safety Department to prosecute people going into the area with off road vehicles. Council directed the City Staff to put a more permanent barricade in where they are at this time. D. Creek Knoll Road Cul-de-sacing, located between U.S. 169 and Pioneer 'Trail (Resolution No. 78-157 City Manager Ulstad explained that people in the area have agreed to the cul-de-sacing of Creek Knoll Road as proposed in Resolution No. 78-157. City Engineer Jullie spoke to memo dated August 10, 1978, Resolution No. 78-157, and communication from MN/DOT dated August 10, 1978 requesting the Council's consideration of cul-de-sacing Creek Knoll Road just south of Hwy. 169. Fred Baumann, 10805 Valley View Road, commented the Council had this request before them about a year ago whereby the neighbors requested this cul-de-sacing. MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Pauly, to adopt Resolution No. 78-157, cul-de-sacing Creek Knoll Road. Motion carried unanimously. Council Minutes - 5 - Tues.,September 5, 1978 E. Darnel Road Cul-de-sacing, located between U.S. 169 and Pioneer Trail (Ordinance No. 78-53) City Engineer Jullie spoke to Ordinance No. 7B-53, and reconmended approval of same. Cathy tiler, 8601 Darnel Road, explained this proposal has been instigated by people living on the east side as they seem to be having trouble with deliveries, and the people on her side of the street are not having any trouble at all. Would prefer to have East Darnel and West Darnel rather than a whole new street name. Mayor Penzel referred to communication dated August 22, 1978 from Robert and Margaret Clayton, 8959 Darnel Road, in opposition to the proposed change of name. MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Pauly, to close the Public Hearing and that the request not be enacted and give an opportunity for the new street name signage to work. Motion carried unanimously. V. REPORTS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS No reports. VI. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS A. Petition from residents in Heritage Park and Round Lake Estates for additional discussion on road alignment issue Councilwoman Pauly referred to petition from people in the Heritage Park and Round Lake area dated August 23, 1978 (attached as part of minutes), reiterating the main point addressed by the petitioners that 100% of the people in their area do not want a stoplight. It seems that the motion on August 15, 1978 did call for a stoplight and if the neighborhood does not want a stoplight, the motion should be amended to withdraw the stoplight. Also concern was expressed about the temporary connection on to Luther Way. Pauly feels it is an unwise choice to state at this time that the Luther Way connection will close. Would like to see the motion clarified. Feels that at this point the best thing to do is to put in the road, make it temporary, put the jog in, put stop sign where Luther Way is today, and when road is in place have the required Public Hearing. MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Meyers, to reconsider the motion that was adopted on August 15, 1978. Motion carried unanimously. Osterholt commented in light of the petition, it would be interesting to have the people that offered the petition discuss the matter and to open the Public Hearing portion of the meeting. All Council members agreed. Mike Boen, 7760 Heritage Road, explained at the time the motion was made by Council, two things were introduced that were out of the blue:1) the semaphore, and 2) the temporary road connection with Luther Way. Osterholt stated the Council has to come to a point where they resolve matters& it may not be to the liking of audience. It is up to the Council to make the final decision and he feels the motion as adopted was a wise compromise. Further that Luther Way has always been shown as a through street. a3ao Council Minutes - 6 - Tues.,September 5, 1978 A. Petition from residents in Heritage Park and Round Lake Estates (continued) Ken Geason, 7621 Atherton Way, commented he has talked with each of the Council members and commended the Council that the people are here tonight. Season further questioned if it is right for the petitioners to eliminate future residents to have a say on the stop sign. Jullie explained as far as the stop sign is concerned: 1) first of all the warrants have to be there, and 2) whenever the petition would come in if it represented a majority of the people living in the area at the present time)it would be a valid petition. Penzel stated in his judgement the warrants will not be met at this time, and the letter from the Mn./DOT states they will not have the funds for at least two years. Steve Longman, 17230 Park Circle, explained his area needs another way in and out of the area and questioned if the stop sign is going to take the place of another ingress or egress. Penzel commented the motion passed on August 15th in his understanding did eliminate the accesses; however, a Public Hearing would have to be held. The intention was to eliminate the connection between Heritage Park and Luther Way subdivisions automatically. Paul Martin, 7691 Atherton Way, stated he would like the question of accesses and the stoplight dealt with separate motions. Ken Meuwissen, 17260 Park Circle, told of the traffic hazard when he stands to take a bus on Heritage and asked if the Council could come to a decision and give them an access to Highway 4, or is there just going to be discussion about a semaphore which is an impossibility. Mrs. Pavelka, 16725 Luther Way, commented that when people in Heritage and Round Lake Estates say they do not want to have a signal at all and will use Luther Way, then it seems those people want their problem on Luther Way and people on Luther Way have to deal with the problem of traffic at Highway 4 and Luther Way. Mr. Boen questioned why use a temporary designation for Luther Way? Bye commented the intent was not to cast in concrete that this would be forever permanent, maybe there is a better choice than saying temporary. No one knows what the situation is going to be when a northerly access to Valley View is completed and/or a stoplight. Osterholt explained there was no attempt at any time to impose something on the people that they would be unhappy with. Would like to have a resolution that 1) provides the maximum safety for the greatest number of people, 2) provide best traffic patterns for the residents we now have, and 3) that the long range solution would be in sight for the roadways through the whole area. MOTION: Meyers moved, seconded by Pauly, that Luther Way Road connection be opened to the west in a circuitous route through Lake Trail Estates with two "T" intersections with stop signs, Public Safety Department is directed to monitor speed on Luther Way and issue tickets when appropriate, direct the Engineering Department to periodically monitor traffic counts on Luther Way and when the traffic exceeds the estimated 1100 trips per day, the City Council will initiate 2��1 Council Minutes - 7 - Tues.,September 5, 197B A. Petition from residents in Heritage Pakr and Round Lake Estates (continued) MOTION: (Continued) action to reduce traffic volumes. When the connection from Round Lake Estates to the north at Valley View Road is made, a Public Hearing will be held to review the vacation of the connection to Luther Way. Also to rescind the motion of 8/15/78 Council meeting regarding road connection to Luther Way and adopt this motion in lieu thereof. Jerry Beauvais, 7735 Meadow Lane, stated he does not want to see left hand turn lanes. Dave Pavelka, 16725 Luther Way, believes substantial improvements will have to be made to Luther Way. It is not wide enough - an additional 6 feet will be necessary to increase width from 26' to 32'. Questioned who will pay for the road construction - should the people on Luther Way who are so opposed to it. Jullie stated Luther Way is in reasonably good condition and he would expect that maybe next summer the City will be seal coating Luther Way. In the future if there are any improvements to be made, a procedure will be followed, i.e., Public Hearing, feasibility report. Typical policy is to assess the abutting property owners. It is up to the Council to make the determination at a Public Hearing. Osterholt asked that some restrictions be instituted that construction traffic not be allowed to use Luther Way. Mr. Sconberg, 16560 Luther Way, believes a safety hazard is being created on Luther Way plus Heritage Road without proper roads out. MOTION: Meyers moved, seconded by Osterholt, to table the previous motion to the September 19, 197B Council meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Osterholt requested that copies of the motion be made available to those persons interested in receiving a copy. VII. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS A. Resolution No. 78-155, granting preliminary approval for MIDB's for Random Specialties City Manager Ulstad explained that the City's Legal Counsel Roger Pauly and Finance Director Frane have reviewed the information submitted. Frane noted this is a mortgage situation and not a bonding situation. Osterholt requested that the Council take another look at the guidelines. Frane stated he would have a set of recommendations to the Council within a month. Osterholt further asked the City Attorney for his suggestions at that time. The question was asked if the developer has an agreement with the Allen's at this time. Richard Anderson, owner of the property in question, answered in the affirmative, and explained they are ready for construction. Further that the City will be reimbursed for legal fees. �aa� Council Minutes - 8 - Tues.,September 5, 1978 A. Resolution No. 78-155, granting preliminary approval for MIDB's for Random Specialties (continued) Mary Ingber, legal counsel for Random Specialties, commented that close scrutiny is given to financing of this type by the mortgage lender, in this case being Highland Financial Group. Bye requested that Mr. Frane itemize in his report the industrial revenue bonds we have approved and see the types of business we have attracted to Eden Prairie because of this type of financing, and also have staff and City Attorney discuss and report on any ongoing commitments that may be built into this type of approval, i.e., does this bind us to any organization that meets our guidelines. MOTIDN: Bye moved, seconded by 0sterholt, to adopt Resolution No. 78-155, granting preliminary approval for MIDB's for Random Specialties. Motion carried unanimously. B. Resolution No. 78-156, granting final approval for MIDB's for Barrett Moving & Storage NATION: 0sterholt moved, seconded by Bye, to adopt Resolution No. 78-156, granting final approval for MIDB's for Barrett Moving & Storage substituting pages submitted by City Attorney Pauly. Motion carried unanimously. C. Resolution No. 78-160, granting preliminary approval for MIDB's for Kensington Investments, Inc., and Neil Brastad Dsterholt stated it appears this is a different type of situation. Frane responded the difference is there is no owner/company relationship. Meyers commented that the Budd Automotive Company is not an American company, and wondered if that has any impact on their ability to secure the bonds. John Parsinen, legal counsel for the proponents,stated that the Budd Company will not be guaranteeing the payments under the mortgage but under the lease. Morrie Wagner, Tower Mortgage Company, explained the lease is for a ten-year period with option to renew, and the length of the mortgage is for 27 years. Mr. Parsinen stated this is a situation where you have a developer and a user. The primary credit will come from several sources. The full faith and credit of Kensington Investments will be pledged for the repayment of the mortgage debt. This type of proposal is certainly permitted under the State Statutes. Frane noted he has reviewed the financial statements of Mr. Brastad, Mr. Noble, and Kensington Investments. Bye questioned if it is the City's obligation to issue bonds to anyone who meets the criteria. Frane responded he does not know of any requirements, law or rule that says the City Council must issue to everybody that walks in the door. aan Council Minutes - 9 - Tues.,September 5, 1978 C. Resolution No. 78-160 (continued) Osterholt stated he would like to know who Kensington Investments is and who are the participants. Tom Noble commented he is Kensington Investments and stated his primary business is hotel and restaurant - a hotel development company. Mr. Neil Brastad acknowledged he is in the real estate development company business and has been in the leasing business. Brastad noted they do have a company ready and willing to locate in Eden Prairie and also contemplates additional expansion and growth. MOTION: Bye moved, seconded by Osterholt, to adopt Resolution No. 78-160, granting preliminary approval for MIDB's for Kensington Investments, and Neil Brastad. Motion carried unanimously. D.

I. CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY APPROVAL FOR INCREASE OF MIDB'S FOR TUDOR OAKS (COVENANT LIVING CENTERS) FROM 7.5 TO 11.2 MILLION DOLLARS Mayor Penzel requested that the proponent comment on their request for consideration of preliminary approval for an increase of MIDB's from 7.5 to 11.2 million dollars. Tudor Oaks (Covenant Living Centers) was represented by Messrs. Williams, Mortimer, George, Dougherty and Strand. Dorsey firm - Mr. Wieser. Suburban National Bank - Roy Terwilliger. Mr. ::illiams explained Covenant Living Centers is in an embarrassing situation. Under normal circumstances they wouldn't be back before the Council until seeking final approval and issuance of the bonds. They have returned to officially request an amendment of the original agreement in order to accommodate the requirements of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Company, the feasibility consultant, and DDS&E, the under- writer, to increase the bond issue from 7.5 to 11.2 million dollars. Mr. Williams stated he feels the Council has a right to expect a full explanation of their current position, how they got there, and what the reasonable future prospects are. Williams commented this is especially true in light of their need for the Council's action tonight in order to provide for the orderly continuation of the project. Williams further outlined that the accommodation fee is between $19,000 and $36,000 and a monthly service charge covers the cost of providing services and the debt service. The reasons for pursing the tax exempt bond issue,Mr. Williams stated,are as follows: 1) a full disclosure of all aspects of the transaction is required, 2) an independent feasibility study helps to reduce the risk of undertaking a project, and 3) a trustee is established at a large bank or trust company which protects not only the bondholders but the residents as well by controlling reserves and guarding against their willful dissipation of corporate assets. The financing plan for Tudor Oaks - Eden Prairie, according to Mr. Williams, includes the issuance of industrial revenue bonds - providing both construction and long-term financing - and an interim loan of $6.25 million from Occidental Life Insurance Company of California. On a cash flow basis, a'3a� City Council Minutes - 2 - Tues.,September 12, 1978 I. TUDOR OAKS (continued) Occidental's short-term loan is retired by the receipt of accommodation fees from residents. Attachment entitled "Why $11.2 Million rather than $7.5 million" to be made part of the minutes. Mayor Penzel inquired of the City Attorney if there were any legal problems at this time. Mr. Pauly explained that he felt at present there were not any legal problems. The City Council requested information as to why the firms of Elmer Fox, C.P.A., and Dain, Kalman & Quail Investment Brokers were no longer representing Covenant Living Centers, and also the application and disbursement of funds related to the cost of selling bonds. Mr. Williams commented that he did not feel the aspects of their (Covenant Living Centers) relationship with Elmer Fox, Westheimer & Company, and Dain, Kalman & Quail could be discussed at a Public Forum. The disbursement of funds - cost of sale is as follows: Dougherty, Dawkins, Strand & Ekstrom - 4.5% of total Elmer Fox, Westheimer $36,000 Peat, Marwick $56,000 Bond Council $28,000 - $30,000 Dain, Kalman & Quail - 0 - Mr. Williams did come back and responded to the first question stating that a personality conflict developed and he felt the relationship would have been better had the Minneapolis office handled the account. Mr. Wieser stated that as Elmer Fox withdrew from the study and Peat, Marwick came into the picture, this created a principal problem for Dain, Kalman & Quail and accounted for their withdrawal. The City Council asked how the rates are structured and how can they be changed. • Mr. Williams stated the rates are higher then in Wisconsin: Minnesota - $315 - $425/mo. single $190/mo. 2nd person Wisconsin - $250 - $350/mo. single $150/mo. 2nd person Had one rate increase in 1975 of 10%. The cost increases will be related to cost of service applicable to Covenant Living Centers. The Council asked what was the time frame of the original request for $7.5 million and the reason it was not offered for sale. City Council Minutes - 3 - Tues.,September 12, 1978 I. TUDOR OAKS (continued) Mr. Williams stated that Covenant Living Centers had to establish a level of sales of approximately 20% of total prior to bond sale. Increases in reserve requirements were required, and increased construction costs have occurred. The results of these requirements also prevented the September letting of bond sales as planned. Other questions raised by the Council were as follows: Mount of potential Real Estate taxes to be paid? Is the project eligible for homestead application? Is the City looking at the same proposal as the original due to the increase from $7.5 to $11.2 million? The City should have additional time to inquire as to the validity of statements made this evening. What happens if request not approved? Comments were made on the above by the proponents. MOTION: Bye moved, seconded by Meyers, to adopt Resolution No. 78-110, granting approval of the amended resolution giving preliminary approval to the issuance of MIOB's for Tudor Oaks (Covenant Living Centers) from $7.5 to $11 million, subject to all necessary documents being supplied to the City Attorney as specified to include closing documents, Articles of Incorporation, and By-Laws. Roll Call Vote: Bye, Meyers, Pauly and Penzel voted "aye", Osterholt voted "nay". Motion carried. II. 1979 CITY BUDGET The Council in reviewing the draft proposal of the budget agreed in concept however it was suggested that each Council member could respond to their concerns to the City Manager prior to the next budget hearing of September 19, 1978. III. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Bye moved, seconded by Pauly, to adjourn the meeting at 12:10 AM. Motion carried unanimously. • ,2330 E" 04 WHY $11.2 MILLION RATHER THAN $7.5 MILLION 1) Construction costs were, at the time of pre- limiary approval, only architect's estimates. Bidding took place four months later and construction actually began seven months later. This budget area, when considered with the increased cost of equipping the facility and other cost increases incurred as a result of project delays, accounts for approximately $1,600,000 of increased cash requirements. 2) Capitalized interest and other reserves were calculated to be $2,096,000. Based on the accounting and underwriting principles applied to the transaction, $3,998,000 is now provided for these items. Items 1 and 2 account for approximately $3.5 million in additional project "costs" albeit one cost is an in- creased reserve. For comparative purposes, it is enlightening to review the estimated source and application of funds, as prepared on May 16, 1977, with that prepared by Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co.

Request for PUD concept approval for multiple and commercial with rezoning from Rural to RM 6.5 for 25 lots for 50 duplex units. Project located north of Valley View Road. A continued public hearing. Doug Goriesky, representing Pride Maintenance, gave a brief presen- tation outlining the project illustrating the changes that had been made since the original suumission. The Planner reviewed the Staff report recommending approval of the POD for multiple designation with no density approval at this time. He further recommended approval of the preliminary plat and rezoning of 25 duplex lots from Rural to RM 6.5 subject to the Staff report of 8/10/78 and the plan of 8/10/78. He explained that the Staff report recommendations included paying a cash fee to be used for construction of a sidewalk along the southern boundary of the duplex site at some future date. As a further recommendation, he suggested elimina- tion of lot 5 as a building site in order to preserve a larger per- centage of steeply wooded slope. He also mentioned that the Planning and Engineering Departments felt that a 34' right-of-way dedication should be given by the proponent along the north boundary of Valley View Road on the eastern half of the site. Bearman questioned the location of the sidewalk and why it was needed. He also comuented that he felt it was not proper to require 34' dedication of property from this owner because he felt Valley View Road should not be upgraded even partially through this section, as it was not in accordance with the Smetana Lake Sector Plan. Sundstrom questioned whether truck traffic should be brought along the residential area. approved • Planning Commission Minutes - 4 - August 14, 1978 Dominic Sciola, Pride Maintenance, asked why he had to build a buffer on the south side of the duplex site if the area on the other side of the road was not presently zoned industrial. Bearman felt it would be good planning for the development not only to screen from future industrial uses but road noises along Valley View Road. Goriesky replied that they could accomplish the berming as part of their grading plan without additional expense. Sundstrom questioned whether there was a problem with the location of the north/south through road on the northern boundary of the site. The Planner responded that the road dead-ended 120' east of the Swenseen property and would make access to the potential residential area lying northwest of this parcel difficult. Goriesky stated that the road had been placed in that location • because it was the only area of good soils. The Planner suggested that a cul-de-sac on temporary road easement be constructed at the end of this road, pending future road connections.

Estimate the total amount of grading and filling which will be done; 25,000cu. yd. grading 5.000 cu. yd. filling What percent of the site will be so altered? 70 5 • 0 6. What will be the maximum finished slopes? 3 7. What steps will be taken to minimize soil erosion during and after construction? Graded areas will be sodded and seeded. Temporary erosion control will be taken according to the Nine Wile Creek Watershed District in the form of hay bale dikes and settling ponds. B. VEGETATION 1. Approximately what percent of the site is in each of the following vegetative types: Woodland 30 t Cropland/ 40 t • Pasture Brush or shrubs 10 • Marsh 7n • Grass or herbaceous 0 t Other NA t (Specify) 2. How many acres of forest or wooaiand will be cleared, if any? acres 3. Are there any rare or endangered plant species or areas of unique botanical or biological significance on the site? (See DNi publication The Uncommon Ones.) X NO YES If yes, list the species or area and indicate any measures to be used to reduce potential adverse. impact. For further information on vegetation, see attached page - 4a - C. FISH 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? X NO YES 2. Are there any known rare or endangered species of fish and X wildlife 5 on or near the site? (See DNR publication The Uncommon Ones.) 3. Will the project alter or eliminate wildlife or fish _NO X YES 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 thew. For further information on wildlife, see attached page - 4a - • .. 4 1 `� Vegetation Bur Oak is the dominant upland tree species occupying about 90% of the overstory on the site. Other cover types in the upland include green ash, white oak, american elm, and aspen. Much of the site is covered by scrub brush, forb and upland grass species. Understory vegetation present include:ironwood, boxelder, black cherry, pricklyash and hawthorne. The low central and northwest areas of the site contain marsh grass species and water tolerant shrub species. Tree species found in the low areas include : willow, boxelder, and aspen. Dutch Elm Disease is present in many of the elm trees on the site. The City of Eden Prairie has been exercising an active sanitation program to insure an orderly takedown and disposal of diseased trees. Wildlife The wildlife in this area is abundant because of the variety of natural cover, the proximity to water and the large amounts of open space. Many small mammals and birds in the area will be eliminated or dis- placed. The amount of habitat and food will be reduced, eliminating the potential to produce wildlife proportionately. The territorial concerns of other animals such as fox will be disrupted. Microclimate and other changes will increase the population of certain undesirable wildlife species including: housemice, norway rats, starlings, and english sparrows . Generally the wildlife population will be descreased because of decreased habitats, foods, territorial boundaries, the introduction of noise, air pollution, man and his movement and the changes in micro- climate. The impact on the wildlife is proportional to the amount of restriction imposed on access to the creek valley which is the maj r wildlife habitat. • - 4a - . I D. HYDROLOGY • 1.

FINDINGS The project is a private ( ) governmental (X ) action. The Responsible 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 not ( X ) a Major action. state reasons: It is relatively small housing project which reserves adequate open space and requires relatively little grading. Municipal services such as sewer and water will be extended to the site as will natural gas and power. Other services such as police and fire projection, schools and transportation systems are being planned as capacities warrant. The project is consistent with growth plans of the city, consistent with urban development standards and open space retention. 2. The project does does not(X ) have the potential for significant environmental effects. The inclusion of the low land open space as well as recreational open space coupled with a well managed and constructed erosion control system should mitigate the effects to the environment. 3. (For private actions only.) The project is ( ) is not. ( X ) of more than local significance. State Reasons: • IV.

BOX 255 SHAKOPEE MINNESOTA STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Chris Enger, Director of Planning project; Briarfield Estates PROPONENT: Pride Maintenance Corporation PROPOSAL: Request for Planned Unit Development Comcept approval of 27 acres of land for multiple and commercial land uses and preliminary platting of 25 duplex lots on 10.43 acret and rezoning of the duplex lots from Rural to Rii 6.5 PROJECT LOCATION: Project is located in the northeasternquadrant of the City in the Smetana Lake Sector northwest of Washington Ave. • north of Valley View Road and east of Nine Mile Creel: on the property known as the Belfanz property. DATE: August 10, 1978 BACKGROUND The ini8 Comprehensive Guide Plan designated this area as indu :. ial. The 1973 Major Center Area Report designated the northwestern portion of this site as open space and the property immediately to the west of this project as housing. The Smetana Lake Sector Study approved in 1974 has the following to say about this general area of the Smetana Lake Sector: "Areas 21A, B C and D- these areas total irnabout 111 acres offer the best opportunity for residential development in the Smetana Lake Sector. Because of the seclusion provided by major roads, Creek valleys and heavily wooded edges, as well is the isolated i.nol' existing in the area excellent housing sites are create . The ability to separate traffic on existing Valley View Road and a new north/ south residential street connecting with Shady Oak Road would provide the separation of vehicle traffic necessary to accomplish a high quality residential area. Residential usage if coordinated with the terrain's heavily wooded character should provide a quality living environment unequaled in accessibility to regional freeways, as well as employment, shopping and recreation oppor- tunities. Great care must be taken in the choice of unit types which may vary from single famility detached to mid rise apartments or condimintum units. The density trade-off option with flood plain and lowland transferring those • densities to building sites would seem appropriate. Likewise, the ponding areas to filter and provide storage for the industrial run off systems will he required prior to discharging into the creek. All of the residential • sites surround the Nine Ill e Creek flood plain,which would allow opportunity • for passive recreation, as well as eotential limited active field recreation based within the I'eriniter of the site". 20, • pli„.,/f, , . .. t ife v/I•4 . - N.... 1 / r _II. .1 , (..16.1. .) _11-:::::- !'.7: ' I.,,/ c___ __ ,_..,___ -I _IN__ 111_1_1:1_7. ___ ...li_____ S.`,: /' (...,)/, ,,,," - . — i l• •-`"-.---\ , , -r 1-------1 I 1 l• ..i ---1 11 -1 I \, `, It•.:'.LI.., , ::-.7_7--...-----:=:.::-7::a-1-7-=7;!.---,------- -- ••=-1--"'N--- --- !2____ _-------------.;:; 7----' ------- --,' --:---t?------1. _ - -,; ,..• ,. --z-.'..,-.1.:' ', ...- =1.' - ' - . ..-\\.....i( \ :-..

SITE PLAN The site plans for this area have been revised several times to try and accomodate recommendations of Staff and the Parks Recreation and Natural Resources Commission. This project was reviewed by the Parks Recreation and Natural Resources Commission ON July 17, 1978 and the concept of residential was endorsed by the Parks Recreation and Natural Resources Commission, however the specific plat which then contained more lots encroaching in the flood plain and on the steeply wooded slope was denied. The current plan which should be dated August 10, 1978 illustrates seven lots for duplexes clustered around a short cul-de-sac on the western edge of the property and a spine road through the center of the property with 18 additional duplex lots fronting on to this through road. The remainder of the site to the east as illustra- ted in a schematic form as some type of apartment building and the possibility of a restaurant. GRADING There is substantial grading which is necessary for the development of this site in this fashion, however, G, grading plan has been greatly revised from the original plan and does allow preservation of many of the trees on the wooded slope adjacent to the flood plain area. However, the Planning Staff feels that lot 5 completely eliminates trees along this wooded slope and should be deleted from the plat. FLOOD PLAIN The project as now proposed requires fill within the flood plain and en- croaches on the flood plains approximately 18". This encroachment must be reviewed and approved by the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District prior to final approval. One way of mitigating this encroachment upon the natural flood plain would be to eliminate lots 1, and 7 on the short western cul-de-sac of the site and to slide the entire cul-de-sac cluster to the south, thus pulling the lots out of the flood plain and pff of much of the wooded slope. DRAINAGE Storm sewer and overland drainage on the site must be evaluated by the City Engineering Department. The drainage is carried in the street from the front yards of all lots and is collected in catch basins toward the center • of the through roadand from there carried between lots 5 and 6 to a lower area in the center of the site. This storm sewer expansion carrying between lots 5 and 6 should he extended to the base of these lots and a detailed plan showing a ponding area toward the center of the site shall be submitted to the.City Engineering Department and Watershed Distruct illustrating entire storm water run off areas contributing to the drainage area and overflow elevations of this pondirg area. The shorter cul-de-sac on the western side of the site illustrates no storm sewer pipe to carry street drainage to the flood plain area. There should be a catch basis installed a2.3 • Staff Report-Briarfield Estates - 3 - August 10, 1978 in this cul-de-sac with a storm water pipe extended out to the flood • plain area so that street drainage does not flow overland on residential • lots. Valley View Road access The County Highway Department has evaluated the site distances on a number of different plats submitted by Driarfield Estates. The location of the accessess illustrated on the current plan are acceptable to Hennepin County. Access permits for these streets must be obtained for Hennepin County according to their criterea. The County has also requested an additional 17 feet of right-of-way to be dedicated as part of the plat on the north side of Valley View Road. Upon talking to County representatives, the City has explained that Valley View Road in the future, hopefully will be re-aligned to the south of this area according to the general concept of the Smetana Lake Sector plan. This will be done because of the steep narrow winding character of Valley View Road as it runs past this project which is unacceptable for industrial traffic. However, the City would request that a total of 34 feet from the northern right-of-way line along the apartment designated property be given to the City at this time to allow the upgrading of Valley View from the eastern boundary of this site through the curve in the middle of the site of Valley View Road. The City has the opportunity of right-of-ray dedication directly south of this curve to extend the right-of-way through the Haile property. This opportunity for dedication does not .vist east of this property, but rather acquisition would be required. RECREATION As stated in the Smetana Lake Sector Plan the Nine Mile Creek flood plain does offer opportunity for very passive recreation. This flood plain is also delineated on the Metropolitan Council Open Space system as a regional trail corridor so that opportunity also exists through this area. The opportunity for active reacreation is not provided on this site, and after a site inspection, area on the site does not appear available for active recreation. Therefore, the Planning and Recreation Staff would recommend that the cash park fee be charged to this project of $200 per unit at time of building permit, this fee to be applied toward acquisition of a small neighborhood park in the Smetana Lake area. If • the areas around this parcel to the northwest and southwest are developed into residential,this parkwill he necessary in the future. Also as part of the recreation system the Parks Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and Planning Staff feel that a side-walk along Valley View Road is necessary from this parcel southwest to the Major Center area. • At this time construction of sidewalks may serve no useful purpose, so the Staff would recommend that the developer pay the cost of construction of a five foot wide,5 inches thick, concrete sidewalk approximately 600 feet in length from the western property line through the eastern edge of the duplex lots. Future trail monies may be collected from the PUD area for apartments on the east portion of the site, as further plans become available. • Staff Report-Briarfield Estates - 4 - August 10, 1978 DENSITY The Smetana Lake Plan and the Major Lake Plan, as well as the 1977 Guide Plan Update, illustrate this area as residential allowing high density use. The density of this parcel for the duplex lots is 3.56 units per acre when theflood plain area is utilized in the total area computation. The net density of the duplex area alone is 4.79 units per acre. If the site were to be developed as shown in the Planned Unit Development with approximately 90 units to be constructed in apartment buildings, the total unit count on the site would be 140 units for approximately 5.19 units per acre. This density in and of itself in this area is not detrimental because of the close proximity to the industrial uses. Inclusion of residential in the Smetana Lake Industrial Sector will provide the opportunity for people who live and work in the same area if desired. SCREENING The proposed platting of the duplex area is effectively screened from the north by topography and vegetation. It is also screened, at least in part from the east by a thick grove of white oak vegetation on a slope toward the center of the project. This vegetation should be preserved as a buffer between the duplexes and the future higher density residential. To the south of the nroject the property is designated in the Guide Plan as industrial. It is therefore necessary that as a part of the grading plan of the duplex lotting, eight to ten foot berms should be constructed to buffer these duplex residential units from the future potential industrial to the south. To the west of the project is flood plain area and no screening appears necessary other than the natural vegetation occurring. RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning Staff feels that conditions are not clearly enough defined in the Smetana Lake area to warrant endorsement of a restaurant at this time, and therefore recommends that the Planning Commission r•ecoinuend to the Council approval of the Planned Unit Development concept with 27 acres of residential use as illustrated in the Smetana Lake Sector Study. No density designation should be given as endorsement at this time for the eastern area. Also as part of the Planned Unit Development the Planning and Engineering Staff would recommend dedication of 17 feet of right-of-way along the duplex portion of the site with 34 feet of right-of-way to be dedicated along the eastern portion of the site. The Planning Staff further recommends approval of the preliminary plat dated August 10, 1978 for 25 duplex lots, on approximately 10 acres and re-zoning from Rural to RN. 6.5. 1. The cash park fee of $200 per unit shall be paid at time of building permit issuance. 2. That no building or grading shall occur enlot 5, block 1 of the duplex plat, in order to preserve the unique oak vegetation and steep slope. 3. The developer shall pay no less than $1.50 per square foot for a 5 foot wide, 5 inch thick concrete sidewalk, approximately 810 feet Staff Report-Briarfield Estates - 5 - August 10, 1978 long to be constructed to the eastern assessment fee for sidewalk to be constructed along the remainder of the project may be levied in the future. 4. The developer must submit a detailed grading and storm sewer plan to the City Engineering Department and Mine Mile Watershed District for review and approval. 5. The developer must obtain the permit for fill in the flood plain as illustrated in the plan dated August 10, 1978 from the City of Eden Prairie. The current request shall constitute the request for permit which may be issued by the City following review, recommendation and approval of the Watershed District and City Commissions and Staff. 6. Screening shall be incorporated in the grading plan on the south side of the duplex plat which will buffer it from future industrial. This shall be submitted to the Planning Staff for review prior to City Council action. • MINUTES • EDEN PRAIRIE PLANNING COMMISSION approved Monday, July 24, 1978 7:30 PM City Hall COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: • Chairman Rod Sundstrom, Bill Bearman, Liz Retterath, Richard Lynch, Matthew Levitt, Oke Martinson, and Paul Redpath STAFF PRESENT: Chris Enger, Planning Director; Donna Stanley, Planning Secretary • Invocation - Pledge of Allegiance - Roll Call I.

Briarfield Estates Enger spoke to the EAW prepared, and explained that there was no Staff re{ prepared at this time, but would be ready for the next Planning Commissicll meeting. He located the proposed duplex lots and spoke to no recreational facilities or neighborhood parks. He spoke further to suggestion that the developer provide their own recreational facilities. He expressed concern with the anticipated 40% fill and noted the presence of some very old white oaks. He spoke to the acceptance of the use proposed, and would welcome changes in the .plan that would provide better use of the wooded slope and less fill- ing of the flood plain. Kruell inquired whether it was an area that could be mined, with Enger responding that there were areas to the north and south, but the land- owners have no permit to mine. Mr. Dominic Sciola, Pride Building Maintenance, responded that they will take out some trees in order to make room for young trees, and added that they wanted to conserve trees as much as the City does. Mr. Doug Goriesky, Engineer for the project, spoke to the sites, ex- plaining that these were not detailed plans and that he was prepared to answer any questions or problems the Staff has on the project.

Rd. 39 ; Mi. West of Co. Rd. 18 Dear Mr. Enger: We have reviewed the above noted site in the field and have the following access recommendations. • • 1) One access point located a minimum of 750 ft. from the East limit of the Plat to serve the apartment house - restaurant complex (see attached Sketch A). Because of the limited sight distance no access will be permitted at the East end of the Plat as shown in the submitted development plan. 2) Although the remaining three access locations are, after minor relocation, acceptable as far as sight distance, it is undesirable to have that number of street connections in such close proximity. Hennepin County recommends combining the three proposed intersections into one located as shown in Sketch A. Note that the trees and fence on the curve must be removed to provide adequate sight distance. 3) If, because of concerns for fire protection, public safety, etc. Eden Prairie determines that additional access is required then the westerly street is acceptable. The street near the curve is least desirable but acceptable if relocated 100 ft. west (centerline to centerline). The trees and bushes must be removed to make this location acceptable. (See Sketch B.) Note: Please be reminded that if the concept of re-aligning Valley View Road is pursued by the City then a street connection on the curve will be an additional align- ment problem. Please consider these comments in your evaluation of the Plat.

Briarfield Estates, request by Pride Maintenance for PUD concept approval . for residential multiple, rezoning of Phase 1 from Rural to RM 6.5 for 29 duplex lots on 15 acres, and preliminary plat approval of the 27 acre PUD. A public hearing. The Manner referred the commission to the draft EAW( Environmental Assessment Worksheet) and the brochure submitted by the proponent, and stated the staff hopes to have a staff report for the next meeting. Mr. Doug Goriesky, Hawk Engineering, presented the project and reviewed the slopes, vegetation, and proposed uses. He stated sewer and water is readily available to the site. Redpath inquired if the fill on the property behind the barns is part of the request. Mr. Goriesky replied affirmative adding they do have the necessary permits and approvals . • Lynch inquired what the density would be. Mr. Goriesky replied for phase 1 rezoning there would be 29 duplex lots (58units) on 17 acres. • Ross Davis, representing KRSI , asked how tall the future apartment building would be. 'Mr. Goriesky replied the building would not be higher than the land elevation of 930 . 1 Mr. George Hoff , representing Herlieu Helle, landowner , stated Mr. Helle supports the plans and does intend to allow for a road on the south side of Valley View Road from this project to serve his future rezoning. Motion: Redpath moved, Levitt seconded, to continue the public hearing to July in for a staff report . Motion carried unanimously. Motion 2: • Redpath moved, Levitt seconded to forward the Briarfield EAW to the City Council without a recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. • • 24 3 �•P• SCDDf Nff LDER 3004 NORTH SIXTY-EIGHTH STREET• SCOTTSDALE,ARIZONA 86261 PHONE 602•947-8087 September 26, 1978 Mr. Chris Enger, Planning Director City of Eden Prairie 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343 Re: October 3, 1978, Hearing Pride Building Maintenance Dear Mr. Enger: I am in receipt of a notice regarding the above hearing to be held in the City of Eden Prairie. I have no objections to the request made by the petitioner, however, I have a suggestion that should be considered. As you are undoubtedly aware, I am the owner of a substantial tra of land that faces Highways 212 and 169, partially bordered by Valley View Road (County 39). This is a long, L-shaped parcel whose configuration was sub- stantially altered by a highway taking a few years ago when the new U.S. 169 and 212 were four-laned in the immediate vicinity of my property. I am currently in the throes of planning this property's use and believe it might be very important to its development and ultimate best use to have access to Valley View Road on the east end which would necessitate tying together with a street system created for the subject site. Therefore, my suggestion would be that this should be considered at the time the permission is being granted for the rezoning; then an orderly development of the east end of my property could possibly be utilized for high-density residential with proper access. If you need any additional information from me in this regard, please contact me. Very tru y you s, G. P. Schoenfelder GPS/dg cc: Thomas M. Crosby, Jr. • • • • MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council THRU: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services FROM: Stuart Fox, City Forester DATE: September 26, 1978 SUBJECT: Status of Diseased Trees on the Proposed Centex Homes Development Site This summer tree inspectors marked 37 diseased elm trees on the property which Centex Homes is requesting for rezoning. To date these trees have not been removed. Centex Homes has indicated they would remove the trees after rezoning approval. Therefore, the staff recommends that all 37 diseased trees shall be removed, by Centex Homes, from this site prior to December 31, 1978 and/or before the issuance of building permits. NOTE: This recommendation should be added to those listed in the Planning Staff Report. SAF:md (2396). -2- Parks, Recreation & Natural Unapproved Minutes September 18, 1978 Resources Commission A. Joint Master Plan for Anderson Lakes - Hennepin County Park Reserve Staff (con't) Unless Eden Prairie and Bloomington and the Park Reserve agree on the plans of the lakes and parks, no more money from Metro Council will be coming in. The Metro Council is providing acquisition and development funds. The cities will have to fund operational costs with local money. MOTION was made Reserve, Bush Lake Park, Corridor Park, Tierney's Woods Park, and Anderson Lakes Park, revised draft of September 1978, be forwarded to the City Council of Eden Prairie for approval with the addition that on page seven, at the end of the paragraph, it read: A provision should be made to form a committee composed of residents, staff from Park Reserve District, City of Bloomington, and the City of Eden Prairie to review the planning process of the park. Dave Anderson seconded the motion and it carried 5-1 with Robert Kruell voting "nay." B. Leaf Recycling Center Ed Monteleon talked about the propsoed site for a leaf recycling center. Origin- ally there were two sites that were available. One site was eliminated because there would be land developments in that area in the future. The Franlo Road Park site was decided as the best choice. It covers an area of 20 acres, although because of the topgraphy, they would only be using 7 of those acres. Currently they are using a 14 acre area. The site would be used during the fall and spring. There was a discussion on the possibility of instead of paying the taxes on the land, to take care of the cost of grading the land (20,000 cubic yards of dirt.) MOTION made by Robert Kruell to recommend to the Council to enter into an agreement with Hennepin County to exchange the use of the land for a leaf disposal site for a graded park site. The motion died due to the lack of a second. MOTION was made by William Garens to recommend to the Council that this site be used as a leaf recycling site on a renewable one year lease for up to five years. Dave Anderson seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. A ten minute break was called at 9:05 p.m. by Chairman Anderson. The meeting resumed at 9:15 p.m. V. RECOMMENDATIONS AND REPORTS B. Reports of Staff 1. Development Proposals a. Ridgewood West - Centex Homes There will be 175 lots, with two lots per acre as an average. The minimum lot size will be 13,500 sq. ft. The largest lot will be well over an acre. The closest neighborhood park will be about 3/4 to 1 mile from the development to the center of the park. qoO -3- Parks, Recreation & Natural Unapproved Minutes September 18, 1978 Resources Commission a. Ridgewood West —Centex Homes (con't) There was a discussion about the cash park fee, and how even though there is inflation every year, the cash park fee remains as a set price to the developers until they are finished. MOTION was made by Robert Kruell to recommend to the Council consideration of some type of clause which will apply to Ridegwood West - Centex Homes project and all future projects to have the cash park fee either escalated throughout the development or paid out front. The motion died due to lack of a second. MOTION was made by William Garens that the staff come back at the next meeting with and appropriate plan to cover the costs of inflation in our cash park fee, whether it be inflation at 10% a year, or a flat increase every year based on inflation. Oave Anderson seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. b. Menard, Inc. Marve Prochaska and Dan Johnson came to the meeting to explain and answer any questins the Commission had. The boundaries would be created by Valley View Road on the north, Highway 5 on the south, and 494 on the east. Fifteen acres will be disignated as their Retail Home Improvement Center. The actual center will be 50,000 sq. ft. They would start work on the project in the spring of 1979. The Home Improvement Center would be the first to be built. The two major concerns of the Commission were that of the filling of the floodplain and the groups of trees that will be taken out. The view of the storage area will try to be minimized by having an eight foot high fence and also landscaping. The parking lot landscaping will be done at the time the parking lot is put in. There will not be very much fill put in the floodplain area, and what is filled will be on the eastern left edge. It was felt that the cutting down of any trees would be detrimental to the area because not only are they of great value but it is also by the road leading to the residential living areas. Bob Lambert read the motion of the September 11 meeting of the Planning Conmisson regarding their changes on the project. MOTION was made by George Tangen to recommend that this proposal be denied at this time because of iten 14 (that the grading plan be revised) of the Staff Planning Report and until the developer comes back with a revised plan showing the preservation of both stands of ald trees. Robert Kruell seconded the motion and it carried 4-2 with William Garens and Dave Anderson voting "nay." • �VU1 Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes - 2 - Monday, August 28, 197. IV. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. Centex Homes Midwest, Inc., request to rezone from Rural to R1-13.5, 87.4 acres and preliminary plat approval of 175 lots on 87.4 acres. Located north of Staring Lake and east of Mitchell Road. A Public Hearing. Mr. Mike Gair, Landscape Architect for Centex Homes Midwest Inc., presented the revised plan and outlined the changes made from the original proposal of 205 lots to 175 lots, with 2.D units per acre. He pointed out areas good for development and also located the street design of the major road, loops, and cul-de-sac pattern. He explained that Centex has responded to the concerns of the neighbors re- garding water drainage by completely eliminating the former drainage plan and are carrying the drainage in a pipe around the south end of the development, rather than south across adjacent properties. Mr. F. ±Hagen, Westwood Planning and Engineering, responding to action of previous meeting, explained that drainage would be broughtout to Mitchell Road. Interim holding ponds in the northern portion of the project would delay run-off and cut down on nutrients. He felt that the City and Watershed District requirements could be met fully by Centex. Martinson asked about item 6 of the engineering report, re- vising of the grading plan to extend lots back into Outlot A ;and move pond to rear of lots. Hagen agreed to comply with this point. • Martinson asked whether lots are planned high enough to accomodate heavy rains, such as the ones we've just had. Hagen explained that the lots would be filled to be higher than the 100 year storm line and that the rain would go down the street or through the swales rather than into any of the lots. Levitt asked what the purpose of Outlot A was. Hagen ex- plained that it was reserved in case Anderson Lakes Parkway would be run through that section. According to the Engineering Department, it appears that the road will not affect this plat. Mr. Tim Eller, from Centex, explained that Centex was asking for a waiver from the minimum lot frontages for 28 lots for smaller houses, in order to keep them from being out of pro- portion. He explained further that no variances would be sought for sideyard setbacks, and the Ordinance is met in all other respects. He stated that he had read and agreed with the Engineering report of 8/24/78 and Staff report of 8/1E/78 . with the following comments to the Planning Staff report recommel tions: • unapproved • Planning Commission Minutes - 3 - August 28, 1978 1. Centex has met With the Engineering Department and resolved no. 5 of the Planning Staff report. 2. Centex will provide adequate berming along lots 14, 15 and 16, but not the lots 17, 18 and 19 of block 4, as per no. 6 of staff recommendation, because there is a steep topographic change which makes berming unnecessary. 3. There will possibly not be the need for 0utlot A as explained in no. 7 of Planning Staff recommendations, because of the Engineering Department's feeling that the Parkway can be better located off of the site. 4. Regarding point no. 10, all: but one existing house type will fit on the lots adjacent to the conservancy zone. 5. Ellers requested that no. 11 of the Planning Report read the same as no. 2 of the Engineering Report. Width of lots was discussed, and Enoer explained that the Staff has reviewed the proposal, and the street layout and the general layout proposal is similar to the past proposal of July. He explained that the lots have been reduced, and the plat conforms with the Ordinance, Comprehensive Guide Plan, 1977 proposed Guide Plan Draft, and with the Red Rock Sector Study. Redpath questioned the reason for berming. The Planner explained that it is used as one method of transition from one zone to another. He also explained that when a proposal is in the conservancy zone of Purgatory Creek)scenic easements should be given to the City to protect the vegetation and slopes against building encroachment and requested this to replace no. 10 of Staff recommendation. Mr. John Jenkins, 13800 Research Road, adjacent property owner, expressed J concern that water from the three low lots adjacent to his property would run into his driveway, and requested that these lots be graded away from his house. Mr. L. J. Fletcher, 14000 Research Road, was also concerned about drainage through lots 3-8 in Section 4, explaining that there is a standpipe, and a drain which run onto his land. Hagen explained the new drainage plan in response to Fletcher's concern. Fletcher also felt there was no justification for lots 6 and 8 being small in the same area, and suggested that these lots be wider. MOTION #1 Redpath moved to close the Public Hearing on Centex Homes Midwest Inc. revised preliminary plat of 175 lots on 87.4 acres, seconded by Retterath. Motion carried 7-0-0. unapproved Minutes - Manning Commission - 4 - Monday, August 28, 1978 MOTION #2 Redpath moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the • rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 based on the plan dated 8/15/78, Staff report dated 8/16/78, and revised Engineering Staff report of 8/24/78 with modifications 1-5 is listed.on pg. 3'of the Minutes of 8/28/78. Ret: seconded, motion carried 7-0-0. MOTION #3 Redpath moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the Centex preliminary plat dated 8/15/78 for 175 single family lots, the Staff report of 8/16/78, and revised Engineerino Staff report dated 8/24/78 with modifications 1-5 as listed on pg. 3 of the Minutes of 8/28/78. Retterath seconded, Motion carried 7-0-0. R. Menard's.

Enger responded he did not feel this would solve the problem of giving the residents a way out, and in addition, you would cut off another access at that • time and cut those people off. MOTION: Redpath moved to recommend to the Council that the Luther Way traffic be limited one-way east bound for three hours daily from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. , and that this limitation be put on area from western boundary at Kirk Meadows. Levitt seconded, motion carried 4:2:1. Bearman and Levitt voted "nay", Lynch abstained. Lynch commented that his belief was that this solution does not deal with the problem and that the real solution of the re-location of Valley View Road south of the lake or from re-location of Valley • View Road or south of street running north of Luther Way and connect- ing perhaps with Westgate. He did not believe people would travel north to exit east. IV.E. 1//Centex Homes Inc., request for PUO approval, rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 for approximately 205 single family homes on 88 acres located east of Mitchell Road and north of Research Road. A public hearing. Mr. M.Gair, architect for Centex Homes Inc. , presented proposal and noted that Riley/Purgatory Crick Watershed District will review the plan. Enger spoke to..Staff report of Ju'.y 21,, 1978, explaining that this area is affected by a minor collector road that comes through the development and it is recommended that no lots front on to this center road. He reiterated the Staff recommendation that a scenic easement be conveyed so no building would occur in the con- servancy area of Purgatory Creek. Centex is asking for density trade- off or cash in lieu of land in this proposal. • Bearman, noting that people living the farthest away, would be 1/2 to 1/4 of a mile from the park, and asked about changing the park acreage to the center of the proposal. Enger responded that would take the prime area for development for this proposal. Bearman asked how this proposal was affected by the Shoreline Manage- ment Act. Enger responded that presently the Act is being used as a guide line and that it is not applicable except for single family homes, and this property does not have any shoreline frontage. Bearman asked how many lots were less than 13,500. Gair responded that the average was 14,500 and that 35% are larger than the 13,500 soze. :L� Levitt asked what the trade-off was in terms of a park. Enger responded it was 4.8 acres, and that in the past the Staff has recommended against smaller parks because of maint°'ante. However, in this case the 4.8 acres would be directly across Mitchell Road from'a proposed neighborhood Park so should not constitute a maintainance burden. approved Planning Commission Minutes - - July 24, 1918 • Levitt questioned what the P.U.D. trade-off lotsf would consistquire2 fof.c Thsende lCener respondc 220 that according to our ordinance, only 87 acres. Fo•r -a true density trade-off they would ow us 22 acres. Centex pro- poses to dedicate 5 acres, develop it with open game field, tot lot and tennis worts ano pay the cash park fee of $275/unit. Levitt asked whether EAW had any impact on Staring Lake. Enger responded negative.. Mr. L. J. Fletcher, 14000 Research Road, explained that he has been a resident for sixteen years and has twenty acres, requested that the traffic be taken into consideration, pointing out that until we have the Anderson Lakes Park- way, there is no place for these residents to go. He felt the drainage plan • becauseaheyfeltdetinaq ate and was opposd was additional burdenoon thek on tax paylersitos of havethe morertaxrty, , ree property. _ Mr. and Mrs. John Jenkins,13800Researchiiwore opposed to the drainage plan, expressing concern that it would affect his property adversely. Mr. Fran Hagen, engineer for the Centex Homes, Inc. spoke to drainage plans, explaining their procedure for flow release, and that they are trying to foresee nutrient growth and plan for it. Mr. Jenkins expressed their main objection to the density, explaining that they are 50' off Research Road aim they have been washed out. He does not feel the storm sewer would do any good for this high of a concentration of houses. Gair spoke to the Red Rock Study and Guide Plan update where a higher density has been proposed. He said they were limiting development to the tree line on Purgatory Creek. Mr. Donald Bergstrom,8203 Mitchell Road, spoke to his north boundary on this land, and asked wherher there were any assessments. Enger responded that the proponent requested to put in utilities at their apense. Bergstrom stated that his drive-way was on Centex property and he has no way in or out as they are constructing. Gair responded that he would not be cut off, but would be provided with a gravel road. MOTION: Lynch moved to close the Public Hearing, Bearman seconded. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION: Lynch moved to deny the PUP on the belief for thhthat tldedenial being ngth we do not feel the trade-offs justify the approval of seconded, DISCUSSION: Enger asked for point of clarification on whether the direc- tia of65..tive motion ariances issnotre land as the acceptable, andelotty sizesde-off. eshould b largernch . that VOTE: Motion carried, 6:1:0 with Sundstrom voting "nay".

Sundstronasked how these lots compared with those east of H. 169. Eller t responded that they were about. the same with some larger lots. Sundstrom summarized Commission action as not opposed to the concept, but • to the size of the lots. Eller responded that it was a business decision • . l I I • ?4J1 1 7-24-78.

The 1971 Red Rock Sector Study showed a mix of unit types throughout the Red Rock Sector gradually increasing in density from the existing single family to higher density near the Major Center Area. • d: The 1978 Guide Plen Draft shows the majority of the area as low density single family. The existing 1968 Guide Plan shows single family ( 2 units/ ? acre and less ). Centex has applied for a single family , 2 units/acre , # with a 13,500 square foot lot minimum and average lot size of 17,153 square ; feet. 21/60 • 1 Staff Report-Centex -2- Aug. 16, 1978 BACKGROUND, continued Centex has built on a number of lots in Lake Eden South which hasa lot size under the 13,500 square feet, but also includes backyard green areas as common outlots for relief from the smaller lot size. From Centex's experience in this subdivision, they feel the commonly owned green areas are no longer a desired responsibility of a single family homeowner's association and propose this subdivision without common areas and with lot size at or above the 13,500 square foot minimum. The Purgatory Creek Study conservancy area cuts across the southeastern corner of the site along the very steep slope along the western edge of the wood line. The Creek Study suggests no building within this zone. As in other projects, the lot lines are platted down into this zone so the staff would suggest a scenic easement be dedicated to the City across these lots in areas that fall within the Conservancy Zone of Purgatory Creek. ( see figure 2 ) . No building within the Conservancy.Zone will make house siting difficult on lots 21-24 of block 4. The Planning Staff would recomnend cul-de-sac C2 be relocated to the north in order to produce buildable pads on lots 21-24. The Shoreland Management Act defines shoreland as any area falling within ;ll 1,000 feet of a public lake, or 300 feet of a public stream. McCoy Lake is classified as Public Water by the DNR and therefore, the majority of the site lies within the shoreland of McCoy Lake or shoreland of Purgatory Creek. In June of 1978 Centex requested PUD concept approval of single family detached and open space, rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 with lot size, density and minimum frontage variances, and preliminary plat approval of 220 lots on 87.4 acres. The public hearing before the Planning Commission was held on July 24, 1978 at which time the Planning Commission recommended denial of the Centex Planned Unit development. 2410 7.

The two single family homes lying south of the main through road on the very western end of the project will be sufficiently setback from the lot lines and separated by a steep slope from the project to the east. There is also a large change in grade between the two homes adjacent to the western boundary of the centered jog of the property line. However, the home lying up the steep slope from Research Road and in the eastern most jog of the Centex boundary, will be impacted by the smaller lots lying immediately to the north of this home. A earthen berm should be located at the back lot line of these smaller lots to effectively buffer the existing single family homes. The area to the east of the project is the Purgatory Creek Valley and this will be largely unaffected by the project because the project sits well above the floodplain on a large plateau and is separated in the southeast corner by a grove of mature trees. North of the project is vacant land but directly north of this vacant land is land owned by Carmody and has approval for multiple. Access will be allowed to the two properties located in the western most notch created by Centex's boundary. Access to the property occurring in the central notch created by the Centex boundary has a road stubbed-out through the property line. Looking at the topography of this area, it appears that this road will enable a small cul-de-sac to be platted off the high knoll with the majority of the property because of topographic variation will probably be served along the slope from Mitchell Road coming down to Research Road. Access to the southern property will be gained from Research Road. The proponent has discussed access to the Carmody piece and the two property owners have mutually agreed that access between the two properties , which may be of differing land use, is not desirable. The Planning Staff concurs with this because of the fact the Anderson Lakes Parkway anticipated will tie all of the neighborhoods together from Centex up through Chestnut Apartments. Mitchell Road also fills this function on the western boundary of the property. PARK/OPEN SPACE The previous PUD, zoning,and platting request of Centex Homes Midwest, Inc., included dedication of parkland and installation of improvements , or cash contribution of no less than S140,000.00.

As in the original application, no setback variances are being requested. The Engineering and Planning Staff would request that no lots front on the east/west collector streeet and that sideyard setback for structures along this street be a minimum of 40 feet. The applicant is requesting variance from Section 2, Ordinance 135, to allow lot frontages less than 90 feet ( see figure 3) The preliminary plat has 28 of the 175 lots with widths less than 90 feet. Eight of the 28 lots could be redesigned,by shifting of side lot lines,to meet ordinance requirements, but due to the fact the lots are in excess of 14,200 square feet, the Planning Staff does not ohiect to the variance requested as small lots are not involved and the variation of lot widths would give relief from a grid appearance. The Planning Staff would suggest the 3 lots, (lots 21-23, block 4) occurring in the creek conservancy zone be brought up to a•minimum of 90' width. Approval of the requested variance based upon the 8/15/78 preliminary plat • would entail lot width variance for approximately 17% of the 175 lots. Approval of the variance for 20 lots(after 8 lots increased to 90foot frontage), would be a 11% variance on the plat. Approval of lot width variance for 25 of the 175 lots, (3 lots within conservancy zone, 90' minimum) would result in a 14% variance on lots within the plat. Lot 15, block 6, which fronts on the S4 cul-de-sac, is approximately 38 feet wide at the cul-de-sac. With the two adjacent lots being 70 and 85 feet wide, the staff would suggest the frontage of lot 15 be increased to a minimum 1, of 45 feet in order to be consistent with City policy. .07 Staff Report-Centex 5 August 16, 1978 ROAD SYSTEM The major east/west through street (S Road) does not have any of the 175 lots fronting onto it consistent with City policy. S Road connects to Mitchell Road on the West. The Planning Staff would recommend the developer improve and blacktop Mitchell Road as per City Engineering requirements , to a point south of the Centex entrance Road (S Road), S Road at the eastern boundary of Centex's site, will be a tempoarary dead-end until such time the alignment of Anderson Lakes Parkway is determined. The proponents have preliminary platted the property with an outlot in the northeastern corner to facilitate future connection alternates. In the event outlot A , or a portion of outlot A, is not required for road purposes , . the proponent intends to extend the lot lines of lots 54-60, block 1 . Extension of these lots will produce lots in excess of 1 acre in size. Platting of outlot A into additional lots instead of extending the lot lines, of lots 54-60 would require a variance as the plat would then be above the 2 units/acre maximum density. Street Names The City Building staff has encountered difficulties in addressing lots on loop streets as occurred in Centex's development of Lake Eden South area with fiirnel Road. Street B and Street C should be final platted with different street names and the proponent should work with the city staff to determine proper street and cul-de-sac names. • a��rs Staff Report - Centex - 6 - August 16, 1978 The City Engineering Department has recommendations regarding the storm sewer system and street layout in an updated supplementary report dated 8/1P/78. However the general grading of the site can . be characterized as follows: Centex is utilizing the 3 lowland areas as backyard holding and sedimentation pondsfor the storm water drainage. (hundred year flood elevations and outlets must be shown prior to final approval to assure proper drainage) The Planning Department sees several areas of concern in the storm water and drainage plan: 1. The storm sewer area that outlets in the very southeastern portion of the site, down a steep ravine, should probably carry the storm water pipe all the way down the ravine and at the direction of the Purgatory Creek Watershed District, should perhaps gain easements and take the pipe into the floodplain area. 2. The low land area shown to the very center of the site, occurring north of Spring Road, has a storm sewer outlet coming from Spring Road leading down the back lot lines. This in effect is taking storm water from the streets directly onto lots. This should be evaluated further by the Engineering Department. Also, in this same location, in the center of the plat on the south side of Sprina Road, there is an outlet which falls directly onto the property to the south. This should be reviewed by the Engineering • Department. 3. The northern cul-de-sacs all take street drainage into the lowland areas occurring between lots. It is important to realize that these lowland areas which may have at one time been included in a homeowner's association open space with lots backing out onto it, now has small lots platted to the center, thereby reducing the effective usable size of the lots. The grading of the site anticipates the removal of topsoil across the majority of the site and the regrading along plateaus and ridge lines to produce buildable lots. The lowland area will be retained and the general hill area will be smoothed out to allow more efficient building pads. RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning Staff would recommend approval of the Ridgewood West preliminary plat dated 8/15/73 for single family and rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 with lot width variance subject to the following items: 1. Detailed construction and storm sewer plans, as well as grading plans must be reviewed and approved by the Riley/Purgatory Creek Watershed District. Staff Report - Centex - 7 - August 16, 1978 2. Lots with sideyards adjacent to the east/west street (S Road) shall adhere to a 40 foot sideyard setback for houses, 30 feet setback for garages. 3. Centex shall construct sidewalks with let down curbs and gutters on both sides of the east/west road within the City ROW to City Engineer- ing standards of concrete five feet wide. Centex shall construct a five foot wide sidewalk along the project's eastern boundary with Mitchell Road within the road ROW and as per City Engineering standards. 4. Centex shall pay the cash park fee of $275/unit at time of building permit issuance. 5. Centex shall modify storm water drainage systems and utility plans as required in the Engineer's Supplementary Report dated 8/15/78. 6. Centex shall provide adequate berming along lots 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 in block 4, to provide buffering to the single family homes to the south. 7. Centes shall agree to its share of the assessments on Anderson I "s Parkway through Outlot A if that alignment is determined by the Engineering Department to be most beneficial to the City. If all or part of Outlot A is not required, proponent shall extend the lot lines accordingly. Also the ROW should be set aside across the northeast corner of lot 43 C-5 in order to accomodate the freeway alignment. 8. That development plans showing minimum floor elevations shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to final plat approval. 9. That approval be given for 14°;'.of the lots (25 of the 175) to be platted with less than 90 feet frontage because such a variance does not involve lots smaller than 14,200 square feet and will provide variety of lot frontages. No lots shall be platted less • than 68 feet wide as depicted on the preliminary plat dated 8/15/78. No cul-de-sac lots shall be platted less than 45' in width of the ROW line. 10. Centex shall realign cul-de-sac C-2 to the north to produce more buildable space on lots 21-24 of block 4, to assume compliance with the conservancy zone. 11. Centex shall blacktop and improve Mitchell Road to a point south of the Ridgewood West entrance off of Mitchell Road as per City Engineer's recommendations.

Erosion control prior, during and after construction, according to rules and regulations of the Riley Purgatory Watershed District. • 4. Mitchell Road pavement will be extended approximately 250 feet to the south line of Section 16 by developer of Pheasant Oaks. Developer of Ridgewood West should extend paving to southern limits of plat bordering on Mitchell Road.

Developer will be required to tap into main. 6. The proposed watermain must be looped through the southwest cul-de-sac to 12" line in Research Road. 7. Revise grading plan for lots in low area near proposed parkway route. 8. A 9' radius should be platted along property line at all street inter- sections and cul-de-sac returns to enable utility companies to install their lines without crossing private property at these points. 9. The area proposed for development has a trunk sewer and water assess- ment 07028). • 10. Storm sewer outlet into Mitchell Road ditch may cause problems for private lot to the south. Could be connected to possible future storm sewer for Mitchell Road extension, which may be insufficient to handle outflow. Existing CMP wider Mitchell Road is not shown.' Developers or Ridgewood West and Pheasant Oaks should jointly analyze the drainage pattern in this area. Storm sewer pipe should be extended from Mitchell Rd. to the east to pick up the proposed out- fall approx. 1600' east of Mitchell Road. 11. The proposed street name Spring Road is in conflict with names already in use. These names must be changed and new names approved by the Engineering Department. 12. The proposed ali9tlment of parkway at the N.E. corner of the project to be reviewed and verified prior to final plat approval. 13. Several revisions to the utility layout plan are requested by the Engineerinc; Department . These changes are indicated on the plan on file with the Engineering Department. These revisions must be made prior to approval of . • final utility plans. • .-_. '. STAFF REPORT - TO: Planning Commission FROt•1: Chris Enger, Director of Planning DATE: July 21, 1918 APPLICANT: Centex Homes Midwest, Inc. • REQUEST: PUD approval • Preliminary platting of 87.4 acres into approximately 205 lots, Rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 with minimum lot width variance, minimum lot size variance, and maximum density variance from 2 units/acre to approximately 2.35 units/acr LOCATION: Central Eden Prairie, north of Staring Lake, West of Purgatory Creek , East of Mitchell Road, and South of Atherton Townhouses and Chestnut Apartments BACKGROUND The 1968 Guide Plan illustrates this area as single family residential . The 1971 Red Rock Sector Study showed a mix of unit types throughout the Red Rock Sector , gradually increasing in density from the existing ,single family to higher density near the Major Center Area. This concept was reflected in the rezoning of AthertonTownhomes and Chestnut Apartments as well as Hipps Townhomes ( southwest corner of Scenic Heights Road and Mitchell Road). Along with higher densities, architectural types were . intended to cluster development in order to preserve significant natural landforms and ample green space. The 1978 Draft Guide Plan Update shows the majority of the area as low density' Since the existing Guide Plan shows single family ( 2 units/acre and less ), and since Centex has elected to go with a single family building type, 2 units from maximum density with a 13,500 square foot minimum lot size is the base which we must start. Centex has built on a number e` lots in Lake Eden South which has a lot size under the 13,500 square feet, but also includes backyard green areas as common outlots for relief from the smaller lot size. From Centex's .. experience in this subdivision, they feel the commonly owned green areas are no longer a desired responsibility of a single family homeowner's association and propose this subdivision without such a provision. Since Centex plans to develop property into lots and build and sell the final housing product, they are requesting variance from the minimum lot frontage of 90 feet.

Other studies which affect the.Centex site are : Purgatory Creek Study, and the proposed Shoreland Management Act. The Purgatory Creek Study conservancy area cuts across the southeastern ' corner of the site along the very steep slope along the western edge of the wood line. The Creek Study suggests no building within this zone. . As in other projects, the lot lines are platted down into this zone, so the staff would suggest a scenic easement be dedicated to the City across these lots in areas that fall within the Conservancy Zone of Purgatory Creek. • The Purgatory Creek Study further suggests that areas lying within the Transition Zone, ( on this site it roughly parallels the Conservancy Zone, 250 feet further west), not vary from zoning standards. .The Shoreland Management Act defines shoreland as any area falling within • 1,000 feet of a public lake, or 300 feet of a public stream. McCoy Lake is classified as Public Water by the DNR and therefore, the majority of the site lies within the shorelar..: of McCoy Lake or shoreland of Purgatory Creek. The Shoreland Management Act, not yet adopted through second reading of ordinar requires that single family lots served by sewer , be no less than 20,000 squc feet in size within a shoreland area. • SURROUNDING LAND USE There are six single family homes on large acreage which directly abut the southwestern portion of the Centex site. The two single family homes lying south of the main through road on the very western end of the project will be sufficiently setback from the lot lines and separated by a steep slope from the project to the east. There is also a large change in grade between the two homes which adjoins the western boundary of the centered jog of the prope line. However, the home lying up the steep slope from Research Road and in U. eastern most jog of the Centex boundary, will be impacted by the smaller lots lying immediately to ttenorth of this home. A earthern berm should be located at the back lot line of these smaller lots to effectively buffer the ', existing single family home use. The area to the east of the project is the Purgatory Creek Valley and this will be largely unaffected by the project because the project sits well above the floodplain on a large plateau and is separatedin the southeast corner by a grove of mature trees.

Access to the property occurring: in the central notch created by the Centex boundary has a road stubbed-or through the property line. • Looking at the topography of this area , it appears that this road will er a small cul-de-sac to be platted off the high knoll with the majority of t property because of topographic variation will probably be served along th slope from Mitchell Road coming down to Research Road. Access to the sou property will be gained from Research.Road. The proponent has discuss access to the Carmody piece and the two property owners have mutually agre that access between the two properties, which may be of differing land use not desirbble. The Planning Staff concurs with this because of the fac the Anderson Lakes Parkway anticipated will tie all of the neighborhoods t from Centex up through Chestnut. Mitchell Road also fills this functie the western boundary of the property. ORDINANCE 135 . REQUIREMENTS Lot sizes under the 13.5 District requires a maximum density of no more t • 2 units/acre with a minimum lot size of 13,500 square feet with front yar setbacks of 30 feet, sideyard of 10 and 15 feet, with a minimum frontage 90 feet. It is also been City policy to request 50 feet front yard setbacks on major collector roads. Centex is requesting a variance from the minimum lot size to permit an avc ` lot size of about 14,500 square feet, with an overall density of approxima 2.35 units/acre; and a variance from the minimum frontage of 90 feet down 75 feet , but no variance from sideyard setbacks is requested. ft 4. Since we can classify the through road in this project as a minor collecto the right-of-way required should be 60 feet with a 32 foot back-to-back re surface, and because of the anticipated volumes of traffic it would be req that a 40 foot setback be adhered to from this road with no lots fronting the through road. • 2M23 Staff Report-Centex Homes, .nc. -4- ,holy 21, 1978 TRANSPORTATION The through road will connect with the extension of Mitchell Road that the proponent will bring from the existing northern property line down to the anticipated east/west through road. This road will connect to the future Anderson Lakes Parkway . The proponent has provided a study that shows an alternate location for the parkway which does not fall on the.property • the proponent controls, but does seem to require a less lengthy bridge and less total road cost. The City Engineering Department is currently evaluatit • this proposal and will be making a recommendation. However ,the proponent has left the area of the anticipated parkway right-of-way in an outlot to prov for this contingency. Access to the site would be from Mitchell Road with Research Road and Mitchell Road south remaining as gravel roads. Therefore the principle access would be Mitchell Road north to TH 5. This would be the case until the extension of Anderson Lakes Parkway . This extension is not anticipated in the next 5 y( PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT REQUEST • The Proponent's request for variances is based upon a PUD which will provide for recreation , land , and development above and beyond requirements of Ord. 332 (Cash Park Fee Ordinance ). Their proposal is as follows: -The proponent would be prepared to adhere to one of the following alternatives • H1 -'As shown on the latest submitted plat, Centex would be prepared • to dedicate the western most 5.8 acres adjacent to Mitchell Road to the City and grade the site according to City require- • ments to provide for an open game field area, small hard surface parking area, a totlot structure suitable for the number of children under 12 expected, and completion of 2 tennis courts (unlit) with fencing and windscreening, and pay the cash in lieu of land park fee of $275/unit . The park construction would be completed with phase I which wuuld be accomplished within the • • • first year of construction. The cash park fee for 205 lots would be $56,375 . #2 - since there is a plan for acquisition and development of a neighborhood park across Mitchell Road from Centex,the 2nd alternate would be for 15 additional lots in the western area (bringing their total lotting to 220 lots, and they would pay a total of $140,000 to the City for acquisition and development of the neighborhood park area. If the second alternative were chosen the staff feels it would be possible tc '. purchase the.neighborhood park area for the Red Rock Sector, grade the area for open game fields , and seed the area. The City could also construct a 1, free skating area , 2 tennis courts , a parking area, totlot, and provide a culvert underpass under Mitchell Road. I. zy2U j 1 . - • • - • • . . • • . . . , . . . .

As part of the sidewalk and trail system, Centex would also construct a five foot concrete sidewalk along the eastern side of Mitchell Road& a five foot concrete sidewalk along both sides of the through street. The sidewalks along the through street would provide transportation as well as a connection to Purgatory Creek main trail which would complete the syste: from Red Rock Lake down to Staring Lake.

The storm sewer area that outlets in the very southeastern portion of the site , down a steep ravine , should probably carry the storm water pipe all the way down the ravine and at the direction of the Purgatory Creek Watershed District should perhaps gain easements and take the pipe into the floodplain area. 2. The lowland area occurring just west of outlot A, in the northeastern corner of the project occurs right in the middle of the lots. This leaves a very unusable portion of the lots for the persons buying. This lowland area should probably be regraded to fall closer to the anticipated parkway alignment or should fall within outlot A if the the parkway is to be moved. 3. The low land area shown to the very center of the site , occurring north of Spring Road, has a storm sewer outlet coming from Spring Road leading down the back lot lines. This in effect is taking storm water from the streets dircetly onto lots. This should be evaluated further by the Engineering Department.Also, in this same location , in the center of the plat on the south side of Spring Road, there is an outlet which falls directly onto the property to the scuth. This should be reviewed by the Engineering Department. a4a, Staff Report-Centex Homes, Inc. -6- July 21, 1978 4. The northern cul-de-sacs all take street drainage into the lowland areas occurring between lots . It is important to realize that these lowland areas which may have at one time been included in a homeowner's association open space with lots backing out onto it, now has small lots platted to the center, thereby reducing the effective usable size of the lots. The grading of the site anticipates the removal of topsoil across the majority of the site and the regrading along plateaus and ridge lines to produce buildable lots. The lowland areas will be retained and the general hill areas will be smoothed out to allow more efficient building pads. • ROAD DESIGN The basic road layout of the site with the center spine road and loop roads occurring off of it is fairly efficient and does facilitate the exclusion of lots fronting nnto the through road. Also, because of the number of lowland areas it becomes necessary to serve the site with a number of cul-de-sacs. The Planning Staff feels that for this size of parcel for the. most part cul-de-sacs have been eliminated as much as possible. • • • • k: zua/1 Staff Report-Centex Homes, Inc. -7- July 21, 1978 RECOIMtENDATIONS . The Planning Staff would recommend approval of the PUD request, the preliminary plat dated July 17, 1978, and rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 with lot size,density, and frontage minimum variances subject to the following items: 1.

Four Thirty Oak Grove • Minneapolis, Minnesota 55403 Dear Mr. Geiger: • I have reviewed the information you submitted recently regarding the pr Gelco Corporation expansion on the north shore of Anderson Lakes in Eden Pra Although the city does not yet have a Municipal Shcreland ordinance adopted complies with Minn. Reg. NR 82-84 (Standards and Criteria for the Management Municipal Shoreland Areas of Minnesota), it is using these regulations when • viewing proposed developments (such as the Celco ND) in shoreland areas. I have investigated your question of whether the terraced roof planter areas structure currently being proposed should be considered "impervious" surface included in calculations to determine whether the proposed development meets 30 percent maximum of impervious surface per lot requirement of the above re ulations. Since this type of question has not come up previously, I contacted our Central Office people for their opinion and reviewed our Municipal Shoreland informational reports for guidance. In Informational Rer..rt No. 5 entitled Elements and Explanation of Municipal Shoreland Rules and Regulations, I fou the following explanation of the 30 percent requirement. Surface water runoff has been identified as the second most important source of nutrient pollution (after sewage effluent) to many lakes. This provision is intended to maintain sufficient pervious area in lake shore areas to minimize overland runoff and thus preserve water quality The provision will also help minimize erosion and sedimentation caused by excessive runoff. Based on all the above, I conclude the following regarding your questic 1. The planted roof areas are not "pervious", but excess run-through f them probably is of high quality and does not constitute a signific pollution threat - as does runoff from parking areas and other imp( areas. 2. Even though the planters are not pervious, we have no objections to City excluding them from computations of impervious coverage vis-a- the 30 percent requirement. However, if this is done there will un doubtably be more on-grade parking developed on the site - which de ) pose a pollution potential. • AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER : Ray Geiger August 14, 1978 page - 2 • 3. From the'materials I have seen,the City and the Watershed District a carefully evaluating surface runoff from the parking areas in this development and are rewiring treatment of this runoff. Since the development is being handled as a PUD the City probably has enough flexibility to require more stringent than normal treatment of parki lot runoff, which I feel would be reasonable mitigation if the City decides to not consider the planted roof areas when calculating im- pervious coverage for the 30 percent requirement. In summary, the 30 percent maximum impervious surface coverage requirem, in this Department's Municipal Shoreland Regulations is intended to protect water quality by limiting the coverage of shoreland properties with imperviol uses which generate low quality runoff. In our opinion, the planted roof ar, should not be subjected to the requirement since the runoff from such areas t I not constitute the type of low quality runoff to be expected from most other impervious areas. However, the results of this interpretation in this case more impervious parking area will be installed, which will increase the amou of lower quality storm water runoff from the site. We feel the City should carefully evaluate the increase in runoff and probably require better treater. of it to mitigate impacts on the lake. t. I hope the above comments are helpful to you and the City. If you have E. nuestions regarding them, please contact either me or Ron Harnack. Sincerely, xfl r is,: z Steven J.

Request by Rauenhorst Corporation for rezoning from Rural to Office for .49 acres for additional parking to serve the Insurance Bldg. and concept approval for future ramp parking. Lot combination/division application to be processed by City Engineer. .49 acre rezoning is a strip east of present American Family Insurance Building, 45' x 470'. Mr. Bob Worthington, Rauenhorst Corporation, presented the background of the proposal, and outlined the present requests for rezoning of .49 acres for additional parking, the division of the eastern lot (lot 1, block 1) in Opus II be combined with lot 2, block 1, and requested concept approval from the City for a parking ramp proposed for the future. The Planner clarified the point on the division of the land, explaining there are provisions under Ordinance 161 for an administrative land division, which will allow the City to split one parcel of land into two, when there are no roads concerned or landowners do not object. He explained further that it is meant to expediate situations like this when there does not seem to be conflicting opinions by surrounding land owners. He explained the parking ramp is in conformance with existing rezoning agreement and it was desirable. The Planner referred to previous concerns by the Planning Commission with the treatment of the wooded slope. although the present building is well done, and he suggested the proponent use the same sensitive treatment in protection of the slope and woods for additional building. Sundstrom inquired whether the parking ramp was included in the original plan. The Planner responded that provisions for additional parking were included in the original PUO agreement upon approval of the City.

An agreement was entered into between Rauenhorst Corporation and the City on Feb. 7, 1977. The body of the Agreement is as follows: " A. Minimize encroachment on the wooded hillside. B. Create an aesthetically pleasing and high quality image as viewed from Crosstown 62. In line with these objectives the following site plan modifications ate necessary: (i) Slight relocation of the building involving elevation and placement to reduce significant encroachment into the northern hillside r.00ded area. (ii) Relocate the utility connections. (iii) Revised parking and grading plan must he approved by the City Engineer and the City Planner prior to actual construction. (iv) Provide positive screening and buffering of the parking area viewed from Crosstown 62 in accordance with plan submitted to City under date of January 27; 1977. 2. That prior to approval for second reading that the joint powers agreement of the City of Minnetonka be completed between the Cities of Minnetonka and Eden Prairie. 3. That 750 spaces, 4.2/1000(FA is reasonable and if additional parking is necessary it shall be provided by ramp construction or upon approval by the City, jointly with other development uses in the area. " % Staff Report-Rauenhorst Corp. -3- Aug. 23, 1978 45' rezoning REQUESTS: 1. Zoning of .49 acres from Rural to Office for expansion of parking lot. American Family Insurance's original building was approved with a variance from the 5 spaces/1,000 GFA parking requirements 6f Ordinance 141. The 60,000 square foot building was allowed to construct 250 parking spaces (4.2/1,000), and if additional parking was necessary it was to "be provided by ramp construction or upon approval by the City, jointly with other development uses in the area". The purchase of .49 acres from the lot to the east will not produce develop- ment difficulties when the eastern lot is developed. The area of parking expansion is similar in grade to the existing lot and is vacant of any tree growth. • Rauenhorst is seeking 107 additional parking spaces to serve the existing American Family Insurance Building, thus bringing the total to 357 spaces for 60,000 square feet, or approximately 5.9 spaces/1,000 GFA. Therefore, since the area to be acquire& for parking lot expansion will not be detrimental to the eastern lot's development, will not encroach into the woods, and will bring the American Family Insurance parking over the minimum required by ordinance, the request to expand the parking lot area by rezoning .49 acres from Rural to Office is reasonable and would not require variance from City Ordinances. The landscaping plans will provide sufficient screening from public roads, but the 3 Marshall Ash , depicted to be relocated, are not living and must be replaced and not relocated. All landscaping and screening plans will be subject to review and approval by the Planning Department as per Ord. 178. 2. Waiver of Platting. Rauenhorst is requesting the 45 foot strip of land be divided off from the eastern lot in Opus II, (lotl,blockl), and be combined with lot 2, blockl, through an administrative division/combination. The division/ combination will reduce lot 1 from 5.13 acres to 4.64 acres, and increase lot 2 from 6.5 acres to approximately 7 acres. Staff Report-Rauenhorst Corp. -4- Aug. 23, 1978 45 ' rezoning 3. Concept Approval for Parking Ramp. The existing parking lot high elevation is 936; the future proposed ramp structure would have a lower level elevation of 924 to 926, and a main level elevation of 932 to 934. Total parking spaces provided would be 499 spaces. If the parking ramp is desired in the future and building expansion is not, the parking ratio would be 8.2 spaces/1,000. If the parking ramp and the 60,000 square foot building were to be constructed, the parking ratio would be 4.5/1,000. Staff would suggest concept approval of the parking ramp at this time with theunderstanding that detailed plans must be submitted for review and approval. Said plans should not conflict with siting of any future building. If the parking ramp and building expansion are requested in the future, the staff would suggest all recommendations of the Feb. 7, 1977 Agreement be adhered to and care taken not to request encroachment into the wooded hillside. CASH PARK FEE As per Ordinance 332, Office Districts are subject to payment of $1200/acre. The rezoning of .49 acres from Ru-:' to Office for parking lot expansion would require that the developer pay $588.00 cash park fee at time of building permit issuance. RECOMMENDATIONS Based upon the August 16, 1978 request by Rauenhorst Corporation, the Planning Staff would recommend the fo'lowing: 1. Rezoning from Rural to Office for a 45'strip of land lying east of Fot 2,blockl, Opus II. 2. An administrative division/combination to remove 45 feet from the western side of lot 1 and combine the property with lot 2, block 1, Opus II. 3. Cash park fee payment of $588 at time of building permit issuance. 4. Concept approval only be given to the ramp parking structure at this time. 5. Parking lot expansion plans must be reviewed and approved by the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District. 6. Parking lot expansion plans subject to City Engineer Department's • review and approval .

American Family Insurance wishes to purchase the westerly 45 feet of lot 1 to the east, which is currently zoned rural. It is proposed that this area be rezoned to office to conform with the zoning of the existing American Family site. This would allow American Family to provide an additional 107 parking spaces this fall and accommodate the eventual construction of a parking ramp of approximately 142 spaces in connection with the possible expansion of their office building. At this time, we request approval of the parking ramp in concept only. Detailed site and buildings will be submitted at the time of the office expansion. We are seeking the waiver of platting requirements in order to move the easterly lot line of Lot 2 45 feet to the east. The resulting parcels would comply with city ordinances. The city is authorized to erect appropriate "land development signs" on the site. We are submitting the appropriate plans for your review.

Ulstad, City Manager FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Coninunity Services � 1�— DATE: September 28, 1978 SUBJECT: Application for Conveyance of Tax Forfeited Lands The County Finance Division has provided the City with a classification list of non conservation land in Hennepin County describing the parcels forfeited to the State of Minnesota for non payment of real estate taxes. As provided in Minnesota Status 282, the County requests the Council to approve the public sale of the parcels. Parcels may be withheld from sale and/or acquired for public use purposes pursuant to Minnesota Status 282.01 subdivison 1. If it is the intent of the Council to acquire parcels for public use purposes, this should be done by a resolution stating the purpose to made of the parcels. After reviewing the parcel list and an on site inspection of each parcel, the staff is requesting the Council to request the following parcels be withheld from the sale and acquired for public park purposes: Plat 56724 Parcel 3525 & 3550 Michael Gorra Property in Anderson Lakes Park the City acquired in 1974 (,,.,diously thru an oversight someone neglected to pay the taxes.) Plat 56721 Parcel 1200 1.3 acres Plat 56721 Parcel 1430 36.2 acres Plat 56728 Parcel 2820 4.27 acres These parcels all make up what has been referred to as the Morley Property adjacent to Staring Lake Park, and has been proposed as part of the park. In March of 1972, the City of Eden Prairie entered into a purchase agreement with Mrs. Lorraine Aretz for the purchase of the property at $4,500 per acre or a total cost of $157,500. The contract was contingent upon Mrs Aretz being appointed executrix of the estate of John Morley within 120 days thereof. Subject to the performance by the buyer the seller agreed to execute and deliver a probate deed on the date of closing, which was to be July 1, 1972. With the purchase agreement the City paid $1,000 in earnest money and agreed to pay the real estate taxes due in the year of 1973 and any unpaid installments of unpaid assessments payable therewith and thereafter. It is my understanding that the closing never took place due to delays in the probate of the estate. The file on the Morley property shows 16 letters from Harlan Perbix to Mr. Richard E. Aretz requesting them to fullfill the earlier commitment on the acquisition of the park. These letters range from 1973 to, most recent, Jan. 18, 1978 written by Ross Thorfinnson. The last reply we have from Mr. Aretz was April 24, 1974 in which he confirmed that the Morley property transaction was still in affect. The City received a 1971 LAWCON Grant for the acquisition of the 37 acres of the Morley property. This LAWCON Grant has never been closed out due to the delay in the acquisition of this parcel. • 2ti,, -2- Plat 57029 Westgate Addition Block 7, Lot 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22. and 23. These seven lots located south of Ontario Blvd. contain some lowland. The majority is rolling sandy soil partially wooded and would serve as a mini-park or tot lot :site for the neighborhood south of Valley View Road, east of County Road 4 and west of the railroad tracks. Although, Lot 15, Block 7 is an unbuildable site, I would not recommend it for park purposes because Lot 16, the lot between lot 15 and the other lots is not tax delinquent at this time and is probably a buildable lot. Plat 56915 Parcels 4050 & 4200 These are two lots in the Paradise Valley development that are unbuildable and contain back waters of Purgatory Creek. These lots do not connect with any planned future public land, therefore I would not recommend acquiring them for park property. Parcels 7350, 7500 and 7650 are Lots 13, 14 ind 15 Block 3 of Paradise Valley. These parcels should not be on the tax delinquent list as the taxes have been paid up and houses have been constructed on those parcels. Plat 56825 Parcel 9100 is Outlot A of the Edenvale Industrial Center. This is the roadway to the High School that connects with Wallace Road. This parcel should be acquired by the City for road purposes. The above mentioned recommendations account for all of the parcels on the tax forfeited list. RL:md • • 2ui� b54_ N ti clIkAuJ ...

Nicholson of Dellwood, Minnesota (the Owner) and Blackbourn, Inc. of St. Paul, Minnesota (the Company) have provided the City Council of the City with certain information concerning a proposed project (the Project) under the Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 474. On the basis of such information the City Council, by resolution adopted September 19, 1978, as amended by resolution adopted October 3, 1978, has given preliminary approval to the Project and the financing thereof by the issuance of a revenue obligation of the City. The following are factors considered by the Council in determining to give preliminary approval to the Project: 1. The Project consists generally of the purchase by Owner of real estate and the construction of a combination light manufacturing and office building which will be leased for a period of ten (10) years by the Owner to the Company. 2. Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association, as bond counsel, has given its preliminary opinion that the Project constitutes a "project" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 474.02, Subdivision 1(a). 20/7 3. Representatives of the Company estimate that, as a result of the acquisition and construction of the Project, the Company will employ approximately 70-75 persons in the City and the surrounding area, • in addition to those currently employed by the Company. The City Council is concerned about providing employment opportunities in the City, and believes that the existence of the Project in the City will help provide such employment. .4. Representatives of the Company estimate that the acquisition and construction of the Project will result in an additional annual payroll of approximately $900,000, based on wage rates currently in effect. The City Council believes that a substantial percentage of that additional payroll will be spent on housing, food and other goods and services in the City and surrounding area, thus benefiting the local economy. 5. At the expiration of the ten (10) year lease with the Company, the Owner expects either to renew the lease with the Company or to lease the Project to another entity for the term of the revenue obligation. 6. The City Engineer has reviewed the preliminary plans for the Project and believes that the Project, -2- 209 when completed, will be compatible with present and projected development in the area. Mayor, Eden Prairie, Minnesota -3- 2 ) • TO: Manager Ulstad, Mayor Penzel and City Council members FROM: Betty Johnson, staff to Human Rights and Services Commission DATE: September 27, 1978 SUBJECT: Proposal for the Comprehensive Study of Human Services Needs in Eden Prairie'. Russ Stricker, executive director of South Hennepin Human Services Council, will be making the presentation of this proposal to the City Council at its October 3 regular meeting. It is the result of a request from the Eden Prairie Human Rights and Services Commission in July. Quoting from the August 14 Commission minutes where the plan was first discussed:"The SHHSC staff considers this type of study unique and in keeping with Eden Prairie's history of sound planning." The study includes definition of needs, need for and functions of a community Social Services Department, and development of long range implementation plans to meet defined needs. The Human Rights and Services Commission unanimously recommends that the City Council endorse and approve commencement of the study. Staff concurs. Attached are exerpts from the Commission minutes of August 14 and September 11, 1978. Also attached is a copy of an article in the most recent "Perspectives", a publication of the Metropolitan Council. Though it's viewpoint is mostly from that of a large city, some of the ideas still could apply to Eden Prairie. You received a copy of the study proposal in August (blue cover). 21131 MINUTES OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND SERVICES COMMISSION MEETING Monday, August 14, 1978 Approved 8:00 City Hall I. ROLL CALL.

Copies of this letter are also available to City Council at their August 15 meeting when Chairman Laidlaw will present the Commission's request for a letter of support to aid Storefront in raising funds in the community. V. PEa;TIONS AND REQUESTS. Russ Stricker and Mary Weeks from South Hennepin Human Services Council presented a "Proposal for a Comprehensive Study of Human Services Needs in Eden Prairie". This proposal is an expansion of the Commission's request for a study of the feasibility of establishing an Eden Prairie Social Services Department (see July 10, 1978 minutes) The study would attempt to: 1) define current and projected health and social services needs of Eden Prairie residents, 2) determine feasibility/need, purpose and functions for a community Social Services Department, and 3) develop long range plans for "service development, coordination and implementation including defined responsibilities and alternative funding strategies". Stricker felt that such a study should involve the Commission and community to the greatest possible extent. It might be funded, in addition to staff time available from SHHSC, as a demonstration project by foundation grants with staff and/or financial aid from the city. The SHHSC staff is enthusiastic about the prospect of implementing this type of study which they consider unique and in keeping with Eden Prairie's history of sound planning. Jensen moved, Wakely seconded, to endorse the proposal and request City Council endorsement, leaving funding for later consideration. Motion passed unanimously. Chairman Laidlaw will make a preliminary presentation at the August 15 City Council meeting. VI. OLD BUSINESS A. Subcommittee Reports. 1. Health Fair.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA. Item VIIB, Study Proposal from South Hennepin Human Services Council, was moved up to be considered after Item III. Agenda was then approved. III. MINUTES OF THE AUGUST 14, 1978 MEETING were approved as received. IV. PRESENTATION OF PROPOSAL FOR COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF HUMAN SERVICES NEEDS IN EDEN PRAIRIE. Russ Stricker, executive director of South Hennepin Human Services Council, led the discussion. Johnson distributed copies of the minutes of the August 15, 1978 City Council meeting, in which the Council received the report and referred it to the Commission for a recommendation. The Commission had received the report and discussed it at some length at its August 14, 1978 meeting before endorsing the proposal and requesting City Council endorsement. Stricker called attention to an article in the Metropolitan Council publication "Perspectives" titled Uncertain Role of Municipalities in Human Services. It calls attention to the need for coordination of services , as well as the need for awareness of existing services. Stricker referred to this study as a model for future studies. He is now going to private sources for funds and Hennepin County will support and assist. There may also be money available from Metropolitan Council. Stricker said it would be easier to raise funds if there was was some financial support from Eden Prairie, possibly $6,000 to $10,000 of the total projected budget of$56,724 for the study. It is possible there may be a planning grant from state funds to match contributions. Currently, Eden Prairie contributes payroll services to South Hennepin, Richfield. and Edina give money and Bloomington contributes office space and utilities. Stricker felt that a donation by the CLty Council toward a project of direct benefit to Eden Prairie could be doubled or tripled from snatching sources. He said there Ls much interest in this study from Hennepin County and elsewhere. Meyers moved, Dysinger seconded. that the City Council be requested to contribute $9,8i9, which equals half a full-time position plus the fringe benefits. Carried unanimously. Stricker will present the study proposal to the City Council. The request for funds will be presented at a separate time by the Human Rights and Services Commission. 2q�3 I OS • • ,�a,BH=u l'i-:262r0 os>..en.A:'ics�6u 5.-C'Trl.0i PL ho f.Eom&9s `-' YY e.� y > E^=c "o'° v b ez E c c.4 E '-a q- -e::E 3 ;214..Gy E•E ry jcE`�d ev..&° -zo < .°..'=sz T.4Jtsse;S: gn ..=smL' c k"° t:-.."O' :1 Q z n =v q.7-.4 '-�'>�r 5 E .-74.; C-E 0'n c e 1 CC�P ac _. =4tatit ec v'_dE_'=E.x E3- coc<<k= yLE'" t= >c6a6 n c S pyc._- ''u��oc„31-.5 zOca�.�� z=ic_ty 7ii _:.i18-.1a2.0 c,> ss_ can °ge,-a'- Lon _ `i L - _ =d'•'g. zn ,. q n.vEQc% .�cE<6 -.. i:i -,,E` _E =s =ocPa1 it,;is%t.k,aTi_RVLc` °-`c-a= _LyEr ° '“2=tLE =c 'L`:`' a �ta..iCyi u-70,-ti "cac'�JZLLG�n •`1- -E--: •.`jJyLyG6- T J Q ;-^5 c_�n L� -.- C.i C c E_'�_ C��y E -L..'� >. r 5 c q`.G-- Al-:"1."4'2,C ii c----E v c y � 3?v" '.� �9° 6 N p `y`.

Ulstad, City Manager FROM: Robert Lambert, Director of Community Services Zi AL- DATE: September 28, 1978 SUBJECT: Request to Advertize for Bids on Removal of House at 8698 County Road 18 Earlier this year I was contacted by two different people that were interested in the house located at 8698 County Road 18. Both parties were interested in purchasing the house and to move it off the site. The City has not been able to rent the property in over a year and it has been vandalized to some extent but is still in fair condition. Metropolitan Council urges all implementing agencies to sell or tear down all park homes as soon as feasible. I am recommending that the City advertize for bids on the purchase of that park home to be removed from the site this fall. I feel the house is still is in good enough condition that someone may purchase it. If we wait through another winter we may have to pay someone to tear it down or we may simply have to burn it. The City also owns a house located on Nesbitt Preserve Park. The house is presently boarded up and 8an-Con is storing some of their materials in the house. We have requested that Ban-Con remove all of their material from the property as soon as possible. The park development project at Nesbitt Preserve Park is nearing the final stages and the City would like to remove the remaining debris from the barn and the debris around the old house. This site in it's present condition really detracts from the entire park. When the house and the adjacent debris are removed, this corner of the park will become an amenity rather than an eye sore. I would recommend the Council authorize the Fire Department to burn the house this winter. BL:md 2u?7 MEMORANDUM TO: Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission THRU: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services FROM: Stuart A. Fox, City Forester clA5 DATE: September 29, 1978 SUBJECT: Alternatives for 1978 Reforestation Monies The City Council appropriated $60,000 for public property reforestation in 1978. This money has not been spent. The staff is researching a number of reforestation projects for which the money could be spent. Some of the alternatives are: 1. Development of a City wide street landscape plan, similar to a grid system plan which Minneapolis is implementing. This would include some form of a boulevard tree ordinance. 2. EXTENSIVE planting of newly developed neighborhood/school parks. 3. Planting of the 'older' existing parks. 4. Development of a mini-arboretum or botanical garden. The staff has received information concerning matching funds available for municipal "landscape garden designs" (see enclosed letter from Minnesota State Horticultural Society.) The City's matching funds could come from this years $60,000 appropriation. Two existing community park sites which might be utilized as mini-botanical gardens would be Birch Island Park or Staring Lake Park. The basic concept being to develop either of these park areas into highly landscaped gardens. Gardens which could provide a site for school field trips, passive recreational activities such as: hiking, bird watching, picnicking, and a community source of landscape information. The establishment of such a'garden' would require the combined efforts of the staff and any volunteer groups or private organizations wishing to participate. With the Horticultural Society funding only two community projects it is imperative that an application be sent by the staff promptly if the Commission feels this type of project has merit.

As a part of that project,the Society is seeking two Minnesota cities each with a population under 10,000(1970 census) whose local public, business. and volunteer leadership would be willing to work together to generate high local public interest and support to help design,plant,and maintain a"gardened"landscape for their city. The Minnesota State Horticulture Society will be able to provide up to $15.000 In matching funds to each of the two communities for design plans and the purchase of plant material for plantings on public grounds. The Society will work closely with the participating communities in a general advisory capacity, assist by providing landscape "garden" designs which the communities may wish to adopt, assist in supervising the selection and placement of plantings, and help the participating communities generate and maintain enthusiasm for and dedication to the project. Each of the two participating communities will be required to dedicate funds to the project, a minimum of $15,000 or as close to that figure as possible. These funds can be raised from public as well as private sources. Equally important,the participating community must have a citizenry determined to work together to achieve and maintain this new standard of beauty among Minnesota Cities. It Is the long range goal of the Society's Garden State Prolect to develop programs to establish Minnesota as a stale noted not only for its outstanding public and orivate gardens, but also as a state whose cities are justifiably distinguished for ihPir beautiful cultivated as well as natural environment. Your city can help us achieve this goal by participating as a"Model Gardened City". If you and your city council wish your city to be considered for this project, please tilt out the enclosed application questionnaire as completely as possible and send it to Minnesota State Horticultural Society. 1970 Folwell Avenue. 161 Alderman Hail, University of Minnesota.

Since the inception of the Conmunity Development Block Grant Program in 1974, the Department of Housing and Urban Development has been re- vising its Rules and Regulations in order to assure that the program operates to benefit low, moderate income, elderly, and handicapped people indirectly. The Planning Area Citizen Advisory Committee will be made up of citizens from the 39 participating communities which make up Urban Jennepin County for CDBG purposes. This committee will review any individual municipality CDBG programs which are questionable as far as eligibility for the grants. They will also review the local com- munities Housing Assistance Plan. Hennepin County, as the co-ordinating agency is asking for recommenda- tions on local members by October 13. It would be most appropriate for the Council to have in mind an individual to appoint by October 13, 1978.

The responsibilities of the eACAC's will include review and comment on the one and three year housing assistance plans and community development programs proposed by the communities within their respective planning areas The Citizen Participation Plan is undergoing final review by the Urban County and will be transmitted to you soon for review and consent. Due to the Year V Application Development Schedule, however, it is necessary to begin the Committee selection process now. All communities must submit Committee rec6mmendations to the County by Friday, Octo5iTT ,1978 or risk forfeiting representation. €ach community is asked to select one individual who is not an appointed or elected official as their representative to the PACAC. These names will be recommended to the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners for official appointment to the Committees. A sample resolution for submitting names of individuals for Board appointment is attached. • Communities are reminded of the regulatory obligation to strive for repre- sentation on each Committee of low and moderate income persons, members of minority groups, the elderly and the handicapped. Insufficient representa- tion of any of these groups may necessitate additional appointments by the Committee. The committee may also augment its membership by recommendation to the County Board for other pertinent reasons but not in such number as to create a PACAC of more than 15 members.

Ulstad: On June 29, 1976, the Commission outlined to the City certain guidelines for the completion of an interim comprehensive sewer plan (CSP). This interim CSP is necessary because a full land use/sewer comprehensive plan in accordance with the Metropolitan Land Planning Act has not been submitted and sewer extensions are presently being received and approved. As previously requested, the City should submit the following information to the Commission to permit the Commission to consider the future review of your sewer extensions as per your needs: 1) Three copies of your sanitary sewer constructs..; program for the period August,1978 through June, 1981; your best estimates by year will suffice. All such proposed sanitary sewer improvements shall be located within the MUSA as established in the Development Framework Guide. 2) To allow the Commission to make estimates of sanitary sewage flows to be used in our Cost Allocation Program, it is requested that you submit an estimate as to the annual number of sewer connections and flows that will be made for the next three years. The actual number of connections made for a given year must be submitted to the Commission at the end of each year as per the Rules and Regulations. 3) The City should adopt a resolution if it has not done so, incorporating the Commission's current Rules and Regulations as a part of the City's CSP or as rules for operating its own sanitary sewer system.
