City of Eden Prairie 8950 Eden Prairie Rd. Eden Prairie, MN. 55343 Gentlemen: We have purchased approximately 40 acres of land in Eden Prairie located north of Duck Lake Trail between Duck Lake Road and 168th Ave. The 40 acres is mad,up of 3 separate parcels: One parcel of 13+acres along 168th Ave. known as the Eden Prairie Assemblies of God Chruch land. a 6+acre parcel along Duck Lake toed on which Mr. and Mrs. Totushek operate a groan house and 20+scree immediately north of the Totushek land previously own by Hr. Vic Lametti and on which'.tr. Adloph Kurtz lives at the present time. It is our desire to develops this land into a single family residential neighborhood of 79 lots ranging in size from 13.500 to approximately 22,500 sq. ft. The purchase of these three parcels is contingent upon approval from the city of Eden Prairie for this developement. Me feel this proposed developement is an excellent one for the city of Eden Prairie for the following reasons' 1. It brings together 3 smeller parcels of land into a reasonable else unit that allows through straight streets to be developed, with a minimum of curve* and cul-de-secs, 2. It allows the entire area to be developed at one time, without being contingent upon later land owners agreeing to streets, sidewalks, utilities etc. 3. It allows for the removal of the commercial activity of the Totushek greenhouse operation from a single family neighborhood. It allows the Eden Prairie Assemblies of God Church to relocate from their present Cite to the corner of Duck Lake Steil and Highway 4. 4. It allows the upgrading of a major portion of Duck Lake Rd. It is the intention of Marvin Anderson Home Inc. and Countryside Investments Inc. to charge all coats of the upgrading of this portion of Duck Lake Rd. wg■sn*e the lots being developed. This will provide for upgrading of Duck Lake Rd. along city park land at no cost to the city. 5. This proposed developement meets city requirements with regard to lot sizes and zoning orA+nasc.e. In addition this proposed developement will provide adequate sidewalks and a 1+acre Tot Park. 6. There is general agreement, at this tins, among the neighbors effected. We have met with residents along Duck Lake Trail, in Coaohlight Manor. Hill Stow Acres, Mr. Adloph Kurtz. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Hurts,Mr. and Mrs. Dan Totu- ehek and Mervin Anderson Home Inc. This was accomplished by individual meetings and a neighborhood meeting on Saturday, Feb. 3, 1979. It is our intent to keep the neighborhood informed and to continua to incorporate their ideas in the developement. 7. The proposed developement will allow for the correction of a surface water problem that presently is being faced by property owners living on Duck Lake Trail. 8. The proposed developement meets the high standards of the city of Eden Prairie. We have met informally twice with City Planner Roger and City Engineer Julle. We have included in the developement their suggestions. and we feel confident that we have their conceptual approval to this developement. We respectfully request favorable action on this proposal and prompt handling of it so that all parties affected (i.e. Totushek, Church, developers) may sake long range plans and that new bones may be built in this desirable neighborhood this summer. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely.

The area of the proposed plat that will drain east into the existing storm sewer system on 168th Avenue West was included in the original design of that system. The area that will be drained to the west will follow the general drainage pattern as it now exists. During the design and preparation of the final construction documents, we will incorporate those measures necessary to control erosion and runoff problems that may develop during and after construction. We will apply for the necessary permits during the final design period. Very truly yours, Lloyd O. Erickson RIEKE CARROLL MULLER ASSOCIATES, INC.

Bentley questioned whether there were any significant changes in lot sizes and also whether the city park property that the storm sewer drained out onto is.developed, The Planner responded there are no significant lot size changes, and that.the park land is undeveloped. He stressed the importance ' of the'Park and Recreation Department working with the proponent on the park issue. The required lift station was dincussed, the cost to the City, and whether it would solve the problem. The Planner explained that the City does:pay the cost of a lift station , maintenance and continuing operational costs although the developer pays for installetion.

REQUEST: Rezoning of Approximately 40 Acres from Rural to R1-13.5 and Preliminary Platting for 79 Lots. PROJECT LOCATION: . In NW Eden Prairie North of Duck Lake Road West of 168th Avenue and South of Coachlight Manor East of Duck Lake Road. • DATE: March 22, 1979 BACKGROUND: The 1968 Comprehensive Guide Plan shows this area as single family res- idential and the 1977 Guide Plan Update shows this area as low density res- idential. The surrounding zonings in the area from R1-22 occurring to the North to Rural occurring to the South to 13.5 occurring from the East and West sides of the project. • The Project is not affected by the Flood Plain Ordinance but does lie within 1000 feet of Duck Lake, so is within a shoreland area although not adjacent to shore line. The Draft Copy of the Shoreline Management Ordinance proposed by the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and the Planning Commission suggests lots abutting the recreational development lake,which Duck Lake is classified, should be a mimimum of 20,000 square feet in size,all other lots within the shoreland shall be City Ordinance size lots, or 13, 500 square feet in size. This proposed subdivision is consistent with that criteria. SITE PLAN As stated in the development information, the project does have a variety of lot sizes in a range of 13,500 to 22, 500 square feet. The lots adjacent to the Coachlight Manor half acre single family lots are comparable in size. The sanitary sewer system will require a Lift Station North of the project along Duck Lake Road in order to service the NW corner lots of the subdivision. Additional improvements in the area would include the upgrading of Duck Lake Road which is currently a gravel road to the North edge of the site . The grading developer byhas the property submit owner oni00%the NW tcorner with Duckcost La esharing Trailo e and Duck Lake Road. • • • N 1.11 1 gl iiRD v •.r 1. • • t '•••• Roox. ..,.., 1 ion :i.i.; .mime s ht_—. .1, i".500a - ,--- ... w ilsol ' rgto MY7.11 .4112 ....1 PARK IA .-...% all of'6S S * ':.z Mai IMF VI:tOT NivAp ------w- mk.E.-- ::::-:-.:-.E. 7.7.iimmei".‘,04 • -...-............4 ai sAiiik r. cm 1 11.4i4,4 mom istrANWAtitila ----___:,' filuPAItlim grrAtrita'OINIPMP/111 1.1 Vrril'Ar '' ' '—' allimffrill V2iTiZ ifisP3.:F.Ni.45"19-iiii go i i --?'--; i a ;1 44 1 '.•::i::::::::::ii:: 011. i ,ot. ..:.:.::::::::x.:::::::::::::: :::::: sir • . • • .... • •,.. .... . .... , . , '•:•::::•:•::::•;• ::•:•::::•;•: Illthir. 114.!li L.................

PLAT OCATION MAP : ..:.'; .. . .'.7:: . “• . .,.,,,, • me - n►yn t rat I cb La l.C3 Pac. 2 Mar. 22, 1979 SITE PLAN CON'T The road shown as Honeysuckle Lane within the plat should line up on the • East side of the plat with either Honeysuckle Lane or 168th Avenue West in order to provide a safe intersection point. In addition the right-of- way of Honeysuckle Lane should be 60 feet in width in order to accomodate a 5 foot concrete sidewalk to be installed by the developer along one side of the road in the right-of-way. In addition, Duck Lake Road should be of a 60 foot right-of-way width in order to accomodate a 5 foot concrete sidewalk as part of the road upgrading improvement be supplied by the developer on the East side of Duck Lake Road within the right-of-way from the South portion of the plat and the North portion of the plat. The area shown as the Tot Lot occurs in the Northeastern section of the plat North of the existing Assembly of God Church area and adjacent to Coachlight Manor existing subdivision. This Tot Lot is 1.2 acres in size and is fairly flat and acceptable as a small play ground area and will require the construc- tion of a Tot Lot structure within the mini-park according to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resouces Commission • comendation. The Mini-Park or Tot Lot area has 140 feet of frontage on 168th Avenue West and 15 feet of frontage on the cul-de-sac known as Honeysuckle lane North. The Planning Staff would recommend that the plat be modified to include a 45 foot frontage on Honeysuckle Lane North cul-de-sac in order to facilitate a lot division by the City in the future if the City is petitioned for the removal of area by the local residents. A small portion of the storm sewer system is designed to drain toward tap existing storm sewer system on 168th Street toward the East. The area that will be drainin the West will follow the general drainage pattern as it now exists, but will exit onto City park property currently owned by the City of Eden Prairie. This drainage should be outletted in a way that is acceptable to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and Staff. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 1. The preliminary plat for 79 single family lots is consistent with the 1968 and proposed 1977 Comprehensive Guide Plan, and is also consistent with the R1-13.5 zoning category of Zoning Ordinance 135, as well as Subdivision Ordinance 93. 2. Cash Park Fee applicable at the time of building permit should be charged per lot for this subdivision. 3. Honeysuckle Lane as is proposed in the plat should be modified to intersect with either Honeysuckle Lane on the east side of 168th Ave. West or the short cul-de-sac on the east side of 168th Ave. West, also known as 168th Ave. West. 4. The tot lot area as shown should be modified to include a 45' frontage on the northern cul-de-sac shown as Honeysuckle Lane. 5. The tot lot area should be approved according to Park and Recreation specification. • Memo-High Trail Estates Mar. 22, 1979 Page 3 • • 6. A through street, known as Honeysuckle Lane, should be increased to a 60 right-of-way and a 5' concrete sidewalk to be built by the developer should be located within the right-of-way. 7. The developer must agree to assume the assessmmnb costs including the majority of the upgrading of Duck Lake Road, also to include a 5' wide sidewalk runing from the south side of the plat to the north side of the plat from the east side of Duck Lake Road. 8. A lift station will be required in order to service the northwestern lot of the subdivision. This lift station will be supplied at the developer's expense, however, it becomes a mentioning city maintenance and operational expense. 9. The lots proposed are consistent with the recommended sizes of lots in the Shoreland Management Ordinance. 10. The plan must be reviewed by the RileyfFUrgatery Watershed District 'prior to grading permit issuance. *17, the Council consider the cost effectivene sa of proposed lift station, REC0MN NI ONS • 1.

The Planner explained that the meeting notice was not published,through error by the newspaper, therefore no action could be taken at this meeting. He did invite the proponent to make a presentation-of his project, but the public hearing would be on the 26th of March. A. High Trail Estates, by Countryside Investment Inc. . .public meeting (cont'd) t Mr. Arvid Schwartz, CountrySide Investment, Inc. presented the request, explaining that it is composed of three parcels of land. They want to present their total plan, and feel it is consistent with the Coach Light Manor development next to them. He explained that they have had neighborhood • meetings about various aspects-of their plan. There will be a 1.2 acre tot lot, and they have talked about the standing water problem along Duck Lake Trail and private property to the south and intend on resolving 'this. He added that the company that owns lots along Duck Lake Road intends to oartici'+at in development 4nd the up grading of Duck Lake Road. • Levitt requested that the Planner address the upgrading of Duck Lake Road and the question of who would maintain the tot lot. Mr. Schwartz responded that the tot lot would be deeded to the City. Bentley inquired whether Pleasant View Drive would be of that name throughout the development, noting the problem occuhring in a'similar situation with Darnell Road . The Planner responded that the streets are named at the time of final platting through a master list by the Engineering Department. Torjesen asked what the overall density of the proposal was. The Planner ex- plained 2 per acre, and there seems to be a wide range of sizes of lots in the plan. Bearman asked how the residents could get to the tot lot. The Planner responded that sidewalks would be suggested in the staff report. • Bentley asked about the problem of lots exiting along Duck Lake Road. The Planner explained that 168th Ave and Duck Lake Road will be of the same status and that they will not be collector roads. MOTION: Retterath moved to continue High Trail Estates to March 26. 1979.

Kurtz 6451 Duck Lake Road- Eden Prairie, MN 55344 To the City of Eden Prairie Attn. Chris Eager • Dear Sir: Z em the owner of the 10 acres North of the High Trail Estates Project. This project will be brought before the city council on April 17, 1979. There is a low area of approximately one and one half acres on the south. east corner of my property. This area causes a flooding problem every spring f and also'after heavy rains. A private drainage system was installed in this area by my father in 1918. This was done by verbal agreement with the Eden Prairie town road supervier, also in the year of 1918. This drainage empties into a lower area, abouth 300 feet north of my property, along Duck Lake Road. I hold the water back from this area, until the outlet is frost free, because releasing the water sooner, would cause the water to wash out and damage the Duck Lake Road. During high water this also floods part of the back yards of four homes in Coach Light Manner. After releasing the water, it takes about four days to bring this water back to its normal level. • I think that if homes are to be built on the North side of Sigh Trail Entatea. this water letal will then rise higher and cause more floodinr, on my property, and also the ajoining back yards in .;oath Light Manor. 'I feel that I should not be held responsible for sty water problems that may exist hereafter. After this project is under way, I hold Eden Prairie responsible for any further flooding or damage to my property or the ajoining back yards in Coach Light Manor. • I suggest that Eden Prairie provide for a land easement, for future drainage to Duck Lake Road, on the Northwest corner oftthis High Trail Estates project. • Sinoerely, �l�=lr e / � �,�tL1/ PAGES 865 - 868 WERE DUPLICATES AND WERE REMOVED I . yy } rlt:,,:_-:,.=::-_,, . 1 ,,..4:!..i. ;.1 i ' . iii '.,:',:.1, �_ as , s ,� TI-- . , �}� r1111t��iT3� i I.l}� .1�1 - , b#it ' a r j I ` :: • i 4 I d • R ( � t� p. . 11,. r----4-----1[.___ _ li.=.7 _, __. .___, 4 ,._ ,: it _ ,.--a.-•, �, { ris 11 I "' it i i L41cJ: L L.._......_„_.,r J' - I � s' ram. �4i iy fl pp „I i `j ,� I' ..� ^ �-sL-' •�''..t..-ems..- ',}2 # J 7 I, t • ,i j} �- • I I 1 t 1 1 .. • \\, yt,4,-0 ': • i\ " 1 �, 1 1' , , aft ,,f1' , .., � • .

ANDREW LUTHERAN CHURCH The congregation of St. Andrew Lutheran Church is now proposing to build on a 3-1/2 acre site purchased by the Lutheran Church in America, Division of Mission in North America, in 1970. SITE The site is located at the intersection of Valley View and Mitchell Road, and slopes sharply from north to south. The only arbi available to adequately hold the number of cars required for off-street parking is on the north section of the site. There is no intention to disturb the south portion of the site, which is on a heavily-wooded hillside. The building and parking lot locations on the site permit the maximum amount of existing tree cover to remain and also permit the minimum amount of cut and fill required to accommodate both building and the parking facilities. Temporary Mitchell Road is used as the access to the property for the first unit. Before any subsequent additions are built, the new Mitchell Road corridor should be completed, permitting parking on the site to expand to the east where Temporary Mitchell Road is now located. WATER MAIN Because of the location of the 24" water main under Temporary Mitchell Road, the regrading of this portion of the site to better accommodate off-street parking appar- ently is not possible. The site plan indicates a future parking lot over the water main easement following the existing contours to provide adequate cover for this main. This condition, although manageable, handicaps the use of the eastern portion of the property in the future. BUILDING The first unit building will contain spaces for worship, education, fellowship and administration in a two-story structure whose gross area is 6,700 sq. ft. This square-footage predictably represents approximately one-third of an ultimate church plant that could be built on this site. A mature LCA congregation, the size that can logically be anticipated for St. Andrew, will require building facilities somewhere between 15,000 - 20,000 sq. ft. The site plan illustrates two directions of growth from the first unit along the brow of the hill on the site. PARKING • The parking facilities relate to a principal building entrance facing northeast, permitting an efficient traffic flow to access and egress points on Temporary Mitchell Road. The traffic pattern is at right angles to the building, making pedestrian flow through the parking lot easy, and the driveway adjoining the building permits good vehicular drop-off activity to occur. Approximately 70 cars are required according to the capacity of the first unit. 80 cars are included in the first unit lot with a provision for an additional 60 cars in the future. • EXPANSION Expansion of parking and building can occur in the future in a manner that will least disturb the site in order to satisfy future space requirements. • The owner anticipates construction beginning in the Spring of 1979, hopefully occupy- ing the building by the end of the year.

George Bentley, Virginia Gartner, Matthew Levitt, Oke Martinson, Liz Retterath. Hakon _., . . Torjesen • COMMISSION MEMBERS ABSENT: None STAFF PRESENT Chris Enger, Director of Planning; Jean Johnson, Assistant Planner; Donna Stanley, Planning Secretary Saint Andrew Lutheran Church, request to rezone 3.5 acres from Rural to PUBLIC for construction of a church building. The site is i located within the Edenvale PUB, in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Valley View Road and Mitchell Road. Continued public meeting from February 26, 1979. The Planner summarized the previous concern of the Planning Commission regarding screening of the parking area, and the resolution of the pro- blem by the proponent and staff, and also after discussion with Mr. Pator Gisselbeck, owner of the condominiums to the nnrth. • • Mr. Berquist presented the revised plans, explaining the change in the • parking lot from a large flat lot to two smaller lots, an upper lot and and a lower lot at a 6 lower grade elevation. Mr. Gisselbeck had con- curred with the part of the plantings that would occur on the condominium property at the meeting with the developer and staff. Berquist explained • further that they did concur with the staff report addressing the question of screening. Bentley asked whether the plantings would be 8 to 12' high in time to screen the building? Berquist responded that the plan illustrates the evergreens as 8 to 12' in height, and would seek approval from the owner for that screening. • Torjesen inquired how the land would lend-itself to extending into Mitchell Road when the church grows and there is more need for parking. Berquest explained that the third lot would have to be of a different configuration than the other two lots, because of the obstruction by the existing 24" water main tying under temporary Mitchell Road. Martinson asked whether the plantings would be on both sides of the berm ' as shown on the plan. Berquist responded yes.

REFER TO: 'Previous staff report dated February 7, 1979 The St. Andrew Lutheran Church or000sal for re-zoning of 3.5 acres from Rural to PUBLIC for use as a Church site was previously reviewed by the Planning Commission and returned to the proponent in order to allow revision of the site plan to provide proper screening of the parking area from the residential property line to the north and to the west of the site. After meeting with Lloyd Berquist, project architect; Rod Anderson, Pastor of St. Andrew Lutheran Church; and Peter Gisselbeck, owner of the condominium site to the north;on ' two separate occasions, a solution to the screening problem has been found. Included with your packet you will find a revised site plan dated March 8, 1979 • which illustrates the parking area broken into two tiers, an upper lot and a lower lot closer to the Church. As you can see from the sight lines provided, screening of the northern lot will have to be accommodated partly on the ad- jacent property to the north. This is acceptable to Mr. Gisselbeck. The • lower lot nearer the Church provides an intermediate band of screening approxi- mately 20' in width on its northern side, and also includes a further grade separation to drop the lot further out of the sight line distances. You can see from the second sheet of the material that was submitted, that the height of the evergreen material necessary in conjunction with the grading is depicted as 8 to 12', depending upon location. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 1. The new site plan submitted dated March 8, 1979, which illustrates the parking broken into two tiers provides a more adequate screening possibility for the parking area. However, inclusion of significant size evergreen plant material ranging in size from 8 to 12' will be necessary to complete the effective screening. 2. It will be necessary to include much of the screening on the northern property line on the northern adjacent property in order to obtain as much height as possible. This is acceptable to the northern property owner. 3. Prior to building permit issuance, a detailed landscape plan in con- formance with this general master plan must be submitted as per Ordinance 178. 4. The lighting in the parking area has been moved approximately IOW further south of the northern property line to provide a lighting pod in the central landscaping area, which should be much more accept- able to the residential area to the north. • �t1 • • Staff Report St. Andrew Lutheran Church Page 2 March 9, 1979 REC©MiENDATIONS The Planning staff would.recommend to the Planning Commission that they recommend to the.City Council approval of the rezoning from Rural to PUBIC for 3.5 acres of property subiect to the items included in this staff report and the previous staff report of March 9, 1979, *addition of clarification on 8 to 12" high evergreen plantings for effective screening of the parking area.

Saint Andrew Church, request to rezone 3.5 acres from Rural to PUBLIC for construction of a church building. The site is located within the Edenvale PUD, in the northwest quadrant of the intersection • of Valley View Road and Mitchell Road. A public meeting. City Planner Enger introduced Pastor Anderson and Lloyd Berquist, of BWBR Architects. Mr. Berquist presented the plans for the site, using graphics to illustrate the placement of the parking lot and landscaping. He explained that the first unit Worship Center was planned at 6800 sq. ft. with future addition additions planned for 15,000 to 20,000 sq. ft. • L,4 • approved Planning Commission Minutes - 2 - February 12, 1979 A. St. Andrew Church . . . public meeting (cont'd) Berquist discussed the parking lot plans for off-street parking of 80 cars, which exceeds the requirement for the first unit Worship Center. He presented a graphic and specifications of the light standards which they intended on using on the north and south side of the parking lot. The building entrance and parking lot entrance will also be lighted, as well as the cross. He explained that the elm trees in the lot will be removed, and that new plantings will be added on the west boundary and on the north property line between parking lot line, with a 10' open square with plantings in the parking surface. The parking will be cut into the•slope and excess fill from this would be used to partially berm the parking lot and north property line. Berquist expressed favor with working with the staff and property owners to resolve the concerns so it is acceptable to them and also economically feasible for the congregation. Vice-Chairperson Lynch inquired about the time of lighting and whether the larger part of a parking lot situation such as this would be normally lit. Berquist explained that the lighting would not be on except at the time ofactivities but would have security lighting at the entrance to the building. Lynch questioned what the feelings of the property owner to the north were. Berquist responded that they are working with Mr. Peter Gisselbeck, realtor'with the Golf Vista Condiminiums, to try to resolve the question of screening. Bentley inquired if the entrance security light would be the only lighting illuminating the parking lot at the times when no services were being held. Berquist responded they would also have an additional element in the form of a cross. Beaman inquired who the owner of the property presently was. Berquist explained that the present owner was the Board of American Mission of the Lutheran Church in imerica, and that eventually the congregation will own the property. The depth of the existing 24" water main lying under temporary Mitchell Road was questioned, and the Planner explained that it had been placed there several years ago and that the depth is not positively known, but the Engineering 9epartm^nt believed it was at 8'. City Planner Enger summarized the plan, explaining that the land use is acceptable, referring back to the original PUB in 1971. He felt that a closer look would have to be taken at grading plans and light- inn, and that an interruption of the sight lines from the north of 20 to 25' in height was necessary in order to screen the parking effectively from the cond miniums. • M1� • • • :approved ' Planning Commission Minutes - 3 - Feb. 12, 1979 c A. St. Andrew Church. . '. .public hearing (cont'd) The future of Mitchell Road was discussed and its bearing on the pro- posed project. Enger explained that the City only.has an easement from the Lutheran Church of America on the present alignment of Mitchell Road north of Valley View which will be unconditionally removed subse- quent to July 1, 1982, and that the City anticipates Hennepin County's' improvement of the diagonal connection between the intersection of Baker Road and Valley View Road north of the site and Valley View as existing Mitchell Road, south of the site to be made prior to abandonment of the easement. Mr. Peter Gisselbeck, Realtor, representing the property owners in the Golf Vista Condominiums, expressed favor to working with the proponent in working out the problems. • Acting Chairperson Lynchasked whether it would be acceptable to the pro- . ponent to come back to the next Planning Commission meeting after resolving these concerns. Berquist responded that this would be acceptable, but would like to be able to start construction this spring. Mr. Gilderhus, member of the congregation, inquired whether there were any directives to the owners of the condominiums to screen their buildings Cfrom the Church. The Planner explained that the screening requirements come from the City Ordinance 135 for parking areas other than single family residential, where five or more parking spaces are anticipated they must be screened from differing land uses. Berquist explained that because of the 24° water main, they were unable to put the parking lot any lower, and felt that this plan was a compromise. The Engineering Department had advised them not to cut any further. MOTION: Bearman moved to continue the St. Andrew Church request to the February 25, 1979 Planning Commission meeting to allow the proponent to respond to the concerns outlined in the staff report of February 7, 1979. • Bentley seconded, Motion carried unanimously. .bg� " V 44\ - • s ",i1 i $R 'T e 6 /C:1,..-A:1- r \� 1 1t. i sex ` '` \ . . , , , , • • ' ':'-:,. >4 11. \ ' 1\ ;` \ I r it NT' II \\,:'„ \ ,\ : ; 1, P L . “ I z"."'-\, r= " L I ST.ANDREW LUTHERAN CHURCH 1 +'r.t:" , ., ,. ,.. • .

PROJECT LOCATION Within Edenvale Planned Unit Development on the northwest quadrant of Valley View Road and Mitchell Road DATE: February 7, 1979 BACKGROUND ' The 1968 Comprehensive Guide Plan anticipated the area as quasi-public open space most likely thought of as part of Edenvale Golf Course at that time. In 1972 the Edenvale Lard Use Plan was revised by the City of Eden Prairie and illustrated a church site at this particular corner. Since that time, this particular site has been signed as a potential church site in Edenvale. In 1978 Golf Vista Condiminiums were approved as multiple residential directiy • north of this site. The 1978 Comprehensive Guide Plan Update also suggests this particular site as a church site. The land use for the site is therefore • consistent with the existing city policies and land use designations. EXISTING SITE CHARACTER As described briefly in the Design Statement submitted by the St. Andrew • Lutheran Church the site slopes from north to south, with a southwesterly facing slope orientation. The high point of the site is approximately 912 sloping down to an elevation ecar Valley View Road of 868 for a total elevation • difference of 46'. However, most of the topographic variation occurs approximately from the center of the site on the south, therefore the rationaic; • for incorporating the structure itself toward a southwestern facing orientation • into the slope and utilizing the more gently sloping area towards the north as parking area. • There is existing scattered oak and elm vegetation on the site occurring mostly on the southerly slope. the majority of these trees will be maintained and in- corporated into the site plan. There is no existing surface water on the site • nor any anticipated soil correction problems. There is also no major significant , • life on the site which is limited to rabbits,sauirrels & small mammals as well • as bird spec iesl. Many of these smaller mammals ann biros w remain on the site with much of„the southern area being preserved. • Page 2 Staff Report-St. Andrew Lutheran Church February 7, 1979 ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS There is no minimum lot size required under the Public zone under ordinance 135, however the minimum setbacks for the building are 50' front yard, 50' minimum side yard with a 150' combined both side yards, and a 50' rear yard. Parking is not allowed within 10' of the lot line, nor allowed within the front yard set- back. The building is approximately 70' from the westerly property line, and approximately 80 to 100' from'the respective easterly property lines. Eden Prairie's Parking Ordinance No. 141 requires parking of one space for three seats in the largest assembly room. According to the Design Statement furnished by the St. Andrew Lutheran Church, 80 parking spaces are provided for the first phase which would allow a 240 seat capacity assembly room. The church representa- tives have informed us there is a possibility of expansion of the church holdings to the east to provide more adequate space for expansion needs in the parking area. Also as a requirement of Ordinance 135, maximum height of the structure allowed is 30'. Ordinance 178 provides for screening of parking areas from differing adjacent land uses. In this particular instance the large parking area is proposed ad- jacent to the existing building no. 1 of the Golf Vista Condiminiums. As shown in the sight section provided by the proponent, a 4' berm at the northern proper- ty line is very ineffective, not providing any type of substantial screening for the residential owners to the north. The Golf Vista building does occur some 90' from the property line at a first floor elevation of approximately 913, bringing the second floor eye level elevation to approximately 14' higher than that, or 927. The highest point of elevation on the northern boundary of the St. Andrew Lutheran Church property is 912. The large majority of the northern boundary area slopes down from 910 to 898. Clearly, if the area of sight orientation in the Golf Vista Condiminium area is at 927 and the majority of the parking area is at 902, there would have to be significant sight interruption at the boundary itself to provide screening of the parking lot area. To illustrate this, the planning staff has done detailed sightline study and has provided a graphic which illustrates the effective height of intervening screening that would be necessary to screen the entire parking lot area effectively. The graphic supplied, with three black boxes shown on the northern property line,showsthe approximate area and heightsnecessary to screen the parking area from the northerly residential. It is apparent that with only 15' of distance horizontally to provide any type of screening that berming cannot play a major role in the screening as the site plan is currently depicted. The reason for this of course is that in order to provide an 8' berm with a 3 to 1 slope, you would need at least 24' to get up to the 8' height and 24' to get back down again. This would require a total horizontal distance of approximately 43'. Denning in conjunctim with fencing or evergreen plant material is a possibility within a shorter distance.Nowever, for the areas requiring a 15' and a 20 to 25' height of interruption barrier to screen the entire parking area, perhaps a more realistic approach of cutting-off the sight line at several different areas of the parking lot should be investinated by the proponent. 9ov Page 3 Staff Report-St. Andrew Lutheran Church Feb. 7, 1979 No lighting of parking lot areas or of the building itself is illustrated in the submitted materials. The proponent should answer questions related to lighting of the parking lot area. TRANSPORTATION Primary access to the site is taken off of existing Mitchell Road which cuts through the site along the eastern boundary. This alignment of Mitchell Road north of Valley View currently exists through the granting of an easement to the city by the Lutheran Church of America for t"ra purpose of road travel, the said easement being unconditionally removed subsequent to July 1, 1982. The City of Eden Prairie has agreed to this easement restriction and anticipates Hennepin County's improvement of the diagonal connection between the intersection of Baker Road and Valley View Road north of the site and Valley View at existing Mitchell Road, south of the site to be made prior to abandonment of the easement. There is also an existing 24" water main lying under temporary Mitchell Road which will remain and does pose some site constraint problems in terms of lowering the grade for future parking. ibwever, sincdhis runs according to permanent ease- ment for this purpose,St. Andrew Lutheran Church will be required to work with this site constraint. In the future when new Mitchell Road is extended past the south- east corner of the site, the city would renuire a 90 degree angle access to Mitchell Road and would re-evaluate the sight line distances involved at that time brought about by the construction of the new Mitchell Road. The project is served by a major collector road on the south,Valley View Road, and will be served by a major collector road, Mitchell Road on the east. The Planning Commission may recall that a walkway was required on the north side of Valley View Road west of this project in the Golf Vista double bungalow area, which then crossed under the under-pass and is to continue on the south side of Valley View Road to the Mitchell Road/Valley View Road intersection. Pedestrian access to this site will be provided in the future as part of the road improvement of Mitchell Road, with sidewalks within the right-of-way. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS The planning staff finds that the proposed plan use of a church for this 3.2 acre site is consistent with current land use plans for the area. The project is served adequately by public transportation systems and public utilities, and the development of the site will be governed by city ordinance requirements. The staff also finds that the proposed remedies for the screening situation of the parking lot area to the residential area lying north of this project are inadequately represented at this time. 401 �� Page 4 Staff Report-St. Andrews Lutheran Church Feb. 7, 1979 RECOMMENDATIONS The planning staff would recommend the Planning Commission continue request for rezoning from Rural to Public designation to allow the pro- ponent adequate time to explore different alternatives of parking lot lay out and methods of providing screening from the northern residentialon area and adequately illustrating these methods to the Planning Commissi prior to approval.

Thea January 19, 1979 Eden Prairie City Council Eden Prairie Planning Commission City of Eden Prairie 8950 County Road 4 Eden Prairie, MN. 55344 Attn: Mr. Chris Enger, City Planner Ladies and Gentlemen: The Preserve and Olympic Hills Corporation are pleased to submit for your consideration the Preliminary Plat and Rezoning of Olympic Hills bth Addition. In response to the submission requirements for•zoning and platting requests we submit the following: B. Specific Plan Requirements 1. Ownership. The Preserve and Olympic Hills Corporation are the fee owners of the property which will he platted in connection with thin • project. 2. Developer. The fee owners of the property will also act as the developers. Both Olympic Hills • Corporation and the Preserve have had considerable prior experience with similar projects in the immediate area. The developers intend to have long term involvement with this project. 3. Fiscal, Economic.. The project will be financed internally or with funds obtained by interim loans from metro area financial institutions. Long term financing for house construc- tion will be supplied by individual lot purchasers and builders. • Page 4. Development Method. The developers will complete the installation of all utilities and streets. They do not intend to become significantly involved in the con- struction of residences on the lots. The lots will be sold individually or in small numbers to independent builders and prospective home owners. 5. Identify Boundaries and boundary conditions. See attached exhibits. 6. Identify Project Area and Other Major Ownerships. The project will be located to the South of Neill Lake and will be bordered to the North and South by Olympic Hills Golf Course along approximately the Easterly one-half of the project. The Westerly one-half of the project will be bordered by the Preserve to the North, Mr. Dean Faulks to the West, and by Mr. Ray Welter's property to the South. 7. Regional Relationships. There are no known regional relationships which will be influenced by or have a significant impact on the project. 8. Existing Land Use and Occupancy. The property which will be used for the project is currently occupied by Olympic Hills Corporation and the Preserve. The Westerly one-half of the project (occupied by the Preserve) is currently undeveloped property with no specific land use. The Easterly one-half of the property (occupied by Olympic Hills Corporation) is currently used as part of the Olympic Hills Golf Course. • 9. Existing Transportation Systems. There are no transpor- tation systems on the site other than those used by pedes- trian and golf carti incidental to the Olympic Hills Golf Course. 10. Existing Zonings.•The existing zoning of the site is Rural. 11. City Guide *'lan Framework. Combination residential and quasi-public land use. Page 3 12. Critical Public Decisions. The critical public decisions in connection with this project include lateral sanitary sewer and water construction assessed to non developer property along Sunnybrook Road, an Environmental Work Sheet and City approval of the plat of Olympic Hills Sixth Addition, zoning changes and any variances relating to minimum front lot lines which may be necessary, together with inspection and approval of all improvements. 13. Additional General Project Information. The project will lie adjacent to the Olympic Hills Golf Course as do the previously approved plats,of Olympic Hills First, Second, Third and Fourth Additions. The city attorney has informed the City, at the time of preliminary approval of these prior plats, that the City cannot be held responsible for damages inflicted by errant golf balls. In addition, the experience, thus far, in the previously platted areas, is that there has been no problems resulting from the close proximity of the golf course to the homes.

HMS Referral File Number: H395 • Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the above project. It has been reviewed pursuant to responsibilities given the State Historic Preservation Officer by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the Procedures of the National Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (36CFR8o0). This review reveals the location of no properties of historic, architec- tural, or cultural significance within the proposed project area. There are no known sites of archaeological significance within the proposed project area. There is, however, a high potential for currently unidentified archaeo- logical sites due to the proximity of the proposed development to Neill Lake and Purgatory Creek. Results from archaeological surveys conducted throughout the state indicate a high correlation between prehistoric archaeological sites and permanent natural water sources, such as lakes and streams, that exist now or did exist in the past. In the absence of specific archaeological information for project areas near such water sources, we customarily request that the project area be surveyed. Such a survey would determine the existence of any sites, their eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places, and the possible effects on them from the proposed activity. Should you have information which you believe is relevant to the need for a survey - do you know, for example, if the area has been extensively altered since prehistoric people may have lived there - please do not hesitate to contact Susan Queripel, • Environmental Assessment Officer, State Historic Preservation Office, James J. Hill House, 240 Summit Av., St. Paul, Minnesota 55102, phone (612) 296-0103, with that information.

I have enclosed for your reference a list of archaeologists who have indicated an interest in per- forming such a survey. If un archaeological survey o£ the above project is necessary, tire. archaeologist hired will need a map of the above project Brea and an explanation of the kind of development pLW�,Lrsed• in addition, a copy of the survey results should be submitted to this office for final review before work on the project begins.

The site is located west of the Olympic Hills Clubhouse, east of Sunnybrook Road, and south of Neil Lake. Continued public hearing from February 26, 1979. The Planner summarized the previous action by the Planning Commission on the proposal, and explained that the proponent has re-designed the road system in such a way that would require less grading, although not as far south as the location suggested in the staff report. • Mr. Don Ringrose, Bather, Ringrose, Jarvis, Gardner Inc., representing Olympic Hills Corporation and The Preserve, presented graphics of the revised plan, explaining that they have tried to meet the concerns of the City, They have agreed to concede that the proposed street will be public, rather than private as previously presented. The dike being dedicated to the public for a trail connection is acceptable to the proponent, and they are waiting to hear from the Department of Natural Resources establishing the high water mark. They were not in favor of the suggestions of the staff report on the central golf crossing,explaining that they have examined this point and found it unworkable to build a bridge or go . under the road. He questioned whether there really was a hazard, noting the number of homes that would generate traffic, and felt the potential in terms of conflict was relatively small. The Planner agreed that it was a difficult situation, but felt that a 10% grade,fo the golf carts, in combination with the poor sight line distance to the west becau of the graded notch created by the road, added to the fact that the road is comint to the bottom of a5',w downgrade will be very unsafe. • approved . Planning Commission Minutes - 5 - March 12, 1979 C. Mr. Don McGlynn, Olympic Hills Corporation, suggested moving the crossing further to the west to the top of the hill. Martinson suggested the use of signage warning of golf carts etc.. The Planner requested time to review the suggestions made. Levitt inquired how this would affect the plat? Ringrose explained that the outlots would be. transferred, with no change in lot lines and with the same number of lots. Torjesen inquired whether it would be a hardship for the proponent if the Planning Commission were to review it again. McGlynn answered affirmative,and that they have already lost a month. The Planner pointed out that only one change has occurred in the realignment of the golf course, noting that the purpose of the request was for the golf course realignment. McGlynn explained that the golf course has been in existence for 18 years, and • one hole is unplayable 80% of the time and would like to correct this. They are not in a hurry to build the houses. He agreed to comply with the grade crossings so that it will be a prudent way of getting their golfers through in a safe manner through signage etc.. Torjesen inquired how the proposed subdivision solves the problem of the golf course. McGlynn explained it enables them to re-align the golf course, and that more land is added. Mrs. Ellen Koshenina, 10541 E. Riverview Rd., inquired about the park dedication. Ringrose explained that Outlot G would be dedicated as part of the public dedica- tion requirements of the Preserve PO, and also land dedication along Neil Lake dike as a passive recreation area. Mrs. Koshenina explained that she had looked at plans for the homeward.Hills Park which would contain ball fields, tennis courts and other active play uses, and suggested splitting the uses of these facilities. The Planner responded that one of the reasons the staff did not suggest any of these uses is that the project is a long, narrow area. The park she was referring to is a City park, and the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Department has denoted 5 or 6 acres south of Centex's Ridgewood area for one or two ballfields. The Planner explained that the staff is recommending grade separated crossings and requested Commission opinions on the issue. Ringrose suggested providing a plat profile with site distances, and move the path • - way as suggested by McGlynn, and if it does not meet the standards, the grade could h. adjusted as a third option. He felt a compromise could be reached with the staff. MOTION: Martinson moved to close public hearing on Olympic Hills, Sixth Addition.

Levitt seconded. DISCUSSION: Bentley expressed concern that there were too many loose ends, and inquired whether the Planner felt comfortable that these concerns could be taken care of by the staff. The Planner responded affirmative on the DNR item, but was unsure of the grade crossing question. Torjesen felt the Commission should take a position on the crossings, commenting that he was comfortable with at grade crossings. Martinson commented that he feels that at grade crossings, if properly constructed, are safe; and if the proponent cannot come up with a safe crossing, it will have to be either under or over pass. • Levitt accepted the at grade crossing suggestion.

Rd. 1 PROPONENT: Olympic Hills Corporation and The Preserve REFER TO: Previous submission booklet dated January 12, 1979 and previous staff report dated February 7, 1979 At the February 12th Planning Commission meeting the Planning Commission continued the item and returned it to the developer in order to re-design the road system in such a way that would require less grading. The plans that you have in your packet show a realignment of that road up out of the lower area, but not as far south as the location suggested in the staff re- port. As part of the grading concern, the Planning Commission was also concerned about the relationship of the subdivision with a public through street to the golf course. Staff had suggested that crossing of a public street by golf course play between tees and greens should be allowed only through grade separated crossings. Although a detailed master plan of the golf course has not been submitted so that the staff can evaluate the direction of play completely on the golf course, it does seem obvious that there will be at least three crossings of the road necessary. One which occurs westerlymost in the plat will occur in an underpass and is acceptable to the staff. The second occurs approximately in the center of the plat and is shown in the new grading plan submitted by Olympic Hills as an at grade crossing. The third is shown east of the clubhouse also as an at grade crossing. The planning staff feels that the central at grade crossing is located in a very poor area, according to stopping distances and sight line distances for an at grade crossing of a public street. The crossing shows going between green 13 and tee 14 and is a constant 12 to 14% down slope from green 13 to the road. This long steep slope in combination with the poor sight line distance to the west because of the graded notch created by the road, added to the fact that the road is coming to the bottom of a 5% downgrade will provide a very unsafe situation for an at grade crossing of golf carts. The staff would suggest that this at grade crossing is unacceptable, Another item of concern was the determination by the Department of Natural Re- sources of Neil Lake Marsh as a public water. although the proponent has met with the local Watershed District and has submitted storm water system plans of Neil Lake construction to the Department of Natural Resources. We have not had communication back from their staff as far as determination at this point. However, our planning staff feels that it is reasonable to assume that no natural ordinary high water mark of Neil Lake Marsh occurs above the 807 contour. Staff Report Page 2 March 9, 1979 Olympic Hills, Sixth Addition All lots proposed by the proponent are above this contour and although DNR proposes Neil Lake as a Natural Evnirnnment Lake, the proposed Shore- land Management Ordinance by the City would request a change of this to a General Development Lake which would allow 15,000 sq. ft. lots adjacent to public waters, and 10,000 sq. ft. lots behind the first tier of lots. Planning staff feels reasonably comfortable at this point, prior to actual determination by DNR that the lots as shown are in conformance with the City's intention for Neil Lake. The Planning Commission was very conceriv d by one sided access to the site. Sunnybrook Road, lying to the west of tht site, is currently a gravel road and would not be an acceptable secondary exit or entrance from the site. Construction of the road without an improved hard surface road out to the west would be unacceptable. The staff would suggest that subdivision work not proceed until until there is a hard surfaced western way out of the site via a future Homeward Hills Road and Anderson Lakes Parkway up to Highway 169 We currently have a proposal for a subdivision lying west of this which would complete that link, and in light of the fact that the golf course has stated that their only interest this year was for construction of the golf holes, the staff feels this is a reasonable request. The Planning Commission may choose to: 1. Recommend approval of platting and zoning of this project to the City Council. or: • 2. Continue the item in order to allow the proponent time to address the concerns of at grade crossings of the City street by pedestrians and golf carts, and to allow time for determination for public waters on Neil Lake by the Department of Natural Resources ,also subject to pertinent items of the February 8th Planning staff report. CE:ds • *Additions of clarifications of: approval be based upon DNR report on high water mark; resolution of central crossing in accordance with Planning and Engineering Staff review; and no houses or road be built util these issues are resolved.

A public hearing. • The City Planner briefly summarized the concerns of the staff on the pro- ject, mainly the excessive amount of grading necessary to accommodate approximately 10 units toward the center of the plat. Mr. Don Ringrose, of Bather, Ringrose, Jarvis, Gardner Inc., representing Olympic Hills Corporation and The Preserve, made the presentation on the project, explaining that this development will be similar to the develop- ment taking place in this area. The main reason for the proposal was for the purpose of modifying the golf fairway along the southeastern part of Neil Lake. The land along the dike will be linked with Preserve land. He discussed the grading plans, explaining that there will be additional grading when the homes are built and additional trees taken down. The homes will be relatively expensive and designed for the lot, pointing out that working with steep slopes has been done.in other communities, and they did not feel the severegrading was unreasonable. As far as the private roadway, the proponent wants to preserve within the area a sense of privacy. Bentley inquired about the Sunnybrook Road access from the west. Ringrose responded that a portion of Sunnybrook Rd. will have to be constructed following construction of sewer. and that their feeling is that this should • wait until development of the houses. - Lynch asked whether Sunnybrook Road was an improved road. The Planner res- ponded that it is a gravel groad and that the access to Highway 169 is very 'poor. • Ringrose explained that if the access becomes a major issue, the developer will concede on this point. • Bearman inquired what the extent of the cul-de-sac was. and who was liable if the Homeowner Association disbanded. Ringrose responded 1.4 miles. ex- plaining that the HOA is a legal body. Removal of elm trees and the planting of new trees during the past 10 years was explained by Mr. Don McGlynn.

Bearman questioned the 6000' cul-de-sac, and felt it was far in excess of the 500' specified by the ordinance. The Planner explained that the road system in this area, the completion of Anderson Lakes Parkway and - the extention of Homeward Hills Road, would provide two way access for this area. • Lynch questioned how the traffic could be prevented on Sunnybrook Rd., noting that there were approximately 20 homes presently on Sunnybrook, and that the additional 89 proposed homes would generate considerable • more traffic. • The Planner explained that if a plat was to be acceptable in this area, maysttbeelappropriatedafteras information.isLDreceived from theDNR ont sizes shown along. il the�norm, may P 7., high water mark. Ringrose agreed to work out the concerns with the staff, and explained that their prime need was for development of the golf course rather than the lots. Mrs. Libby Hargrove, 12640 Sunnybrook Road,.expressed concern for the treatment of Sunnybrook Road, access to Highway 169, and the additional . traffic that would be generated by this development. Mr. Hakon Toriesen, 6605 Rowland Road, expressed concern that the private road being tied in with a public road was not appropriate. • McGlynn explained that they do not want a lot of traffic, because of pedestrians and golf carts, making the prime access off Anderson Lakes Parkway and Co.

The existing zoning is Rural and the suggested 1979 Guide Plan Update shows Olympic Hills Golf Club as Quasi-Public and the western parcel owned by The Preserve as low density residential. The Preserve,as part of its original 1970 P.U.D. approval,is obligated to the City to provide a deer and pedestrian corridor from the south side of Anderson Lakes to Purgatory Creek, lying south and to the west of this property. There is currently a dike which was constructed in 1975 across the southeastern corner f of Neil Lake. This dike was constructed to help alleviate flooding problems of the lower holes of Olympic Hills Golf Course. The water pending areas shown in between the course holes are part of that dike and storm sewer construction and are subject to periodic flooding during wet periods of the year when €ieil Lake backs up through this storm sewer system on to the lower holes. This dike,, although it is not owned by the Preserve, becomes the logical link between pro- perty proposed by the Preserve to provide a pedestrian and corridor link. Although the lower area of Neil Lake has been dike-off, it is subject to periodic flooding and is shown within the floor#)lain map of the City. The lower In may require a permit for filling to build in the area. The project is within PO' of Neil Lake and would be governed by the Shoreland Management Ordinance • proposed, however, because the lots may not actually front on the existing shore- line they may be zoning ordinance sized lots. EXISTING SITE CHARACTER • The eastern side of the site occurring within the Olympic Hills property is made up of the upper golf course fairways south, a wide,steep oak wooded slope and a lower area of poor soils, subject to flooding. The western side of the site contains a thin b,in:f of 'r:iwee gets along the north facing slope and the remainder of the property contains only scattered trees, with tlhc to€nir,qr, bein; steeply rolling in nature. the topography in Heneral on the site,is quite drastic in its change, changing fray, a high point of 380 to a low point of a06. sal • • • Page 2 • Staff Report-Olympic Hills 6th Feb. 7, 1979 The tree vegetation on the site is mostly of a mature oak species. • The significant amount of water found on the northern portion of the site both within the golf course area, behind the dike, and in the marshy area of Neil Lake itself to the north of the project. The remaining portion of the site is significantly higher in character and does not have a surface water problem. A number of varieties of water fowl habitate the wetland areas of the site with deer found in prevalence throughout the wooded areas of the site at various times of the year. Sunnybrook Road does enter into the western portion of the site for several hundred • feet serving two existing homes near the end of the gravel road. ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS Ordinance 135, under the R1-13.5 category, calls for a minimum lot size of 13,500 sq. ft., with a maximum density of 2 units per acre. The Ordinance also calls for a 30' minimum front yard setback and a minimum lot frontage of 90'. Some of the lots in the proposed preliminary plat fall under the 90' minimum lot frontage, however the majority of the lots are well in excess of the 90' frontage. There do appear to be some lots which fall under the 13,500 j sq. ft. minimum lot size. The Department of Natural Resources currently has Neil Lake classified as a Natural Envirnonment Water Lake, which would require that lots served by public sewer which abut public water be of at least 40,000 sq. ft. inarea and at least 125' in width at the building line and at the ordinary high water mark. All other lots served by a public sewer shall be at least 20,000 sq. ft. in size and at least 125' in width at the building line. The current proposal for a Shoreline Management Ordinance, which the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and Planning Commission have discussed, would suggest Neil Lake be classified as a General Development Water, which would require lots served by a public sewer, which abut public water, be of at least 15,000 sq. ft. in area and at least 75' in width at the building line and at the ordinary high water . mark. All other lots served by public sewer shall be at least 13,500 sq. ft. in size. It does appear that perhaps a half a dozen lots within the western part of the plat may abut the normal ordinary high water mark. Communication with the Watershed District staff indicates a recommendation for a DNR inspection of the Neil Lake area to determine the exact natural ordinary high water mark elevation. However, the normal elevation of Neil Lake is governed by an outlet control structure, which is set at 812. There are at least 5 lots within the western portion of the plat which abut the 812 contour. Subdivision Ordinance 93 specifically excludes private lanes from approval as a part of the subdivision process and requires that all buildable lots have frontage on a public right-of-way. 922 • • • • Page 3 Staff Report-Olympic Hills 6th Feb. 7, 1979 ' SITE PLAN GRADING Since the existing character of the site is steeply rolling, much of the development proposed occurs on 10 to 20% slopes with the roads crossing 20 , 30 and 40 slopes, the grading required to install utilities and the road surface itself as well as the appurtanent building read which will come later, is substantial. On the eastern end of the plat, as the road cuts down across the steep wooded slope,to provide the pad for approximately 11 lots in the lower area, the fill section of 254 in height is required to traverse the slope. Once the road reaches the lower area, fill of up to 16' over approximately half of the lot depth in the lower arca is needed to accomplish the building pads. These building pads occur on area of very poor peaty muck soil. As this lower road loops back up the hill, it requires another mass cut up through the woods to accommodate the grade. In addition to the tremendous cut and fill necessary to accomodate the lower 11 lots and the removal of trees and pertinent grading that will be necessary to improve building pads, there is a very severe grade problem on the road, both going down to the lower area and returning. On the eastern end preceding down to the lower area there is approximately a 71,5% grade for a distance of 600 feet. The road then bottoms-out and proceeds up approximately a 5% grade for a dis- tance of another 600 feet, leaving the only way in and out of this lower area along steep grades requiring significant cuts through steeply wended sloped natural areas. Toward the center of the plat, in the approximate area of boundary between the Preserve property and the Olympic Hills property, there is another 16 ft. cut required to acconmrodatethe road. It is also important to realize that lots 5, 6, 7 and 8 occurring on the north side of the road in this proximity would require a substantial cutting on the lot itself in order to acconavodate a residential driveway and a building pad location. TRANSPORTATION • The access to the site is accomplished from Franlo Road along approximately 1 mile of road over to the existing Sunnybrook Road, which is currently a gravel road. This road is proposed as a private road which is not allowed t ordinance. Furtermoe, important,forthe peopletwioswillnk from eventuallynbuildL Road west of er this o this area. No sidewalk is proposed along the through road, and there are at least 3 points where the golf course circulation system crosses the road. Only one of these crossing points is an underpass and appropriately all of them should be grade separated. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 1. Additional information should be supplied by the Department of Natural Resources and local watershed district to make a determination on the natural ordinary high water mark, in order to ascertain the final lot sizes of the lots within the subdivision area. 2. The grading required by placing of the 11 lower lots on the Nutt. .sails area would not be required if the road proceeded straight through ea the alignment of the cul-de-sac which follows an existing fairway cut through the woods. • • • Page 4 Staff Report-Olympic Hills 6th Feb. 7, 1979 3. There is no sidewalk pedestrian system proposed along this lengthy road. 4. Street grades necessary to accommodate the lower area development are excessive in relationship to their length. 5. Currently Sunnybrook Road is a gravel road with poor access and sight distance to Highway 169 and should not be required to handle any additional traffic at this time. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. The planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission continue the item in order to give the proponent opportunity to re-design the configuration of the through road to considerably lessen the grading and filling impact and destruction of the existing natural wooded slope. This additional time should also be utilized to meet on the site with the local watershed district,developer, and the representative of the Department of Natural Resources to determine the extent of actual public waters on the project. 2. The project should also include a public road, rather than a private road,and a 5 ft. concrete sidewalk, within the right-of-way along one side of the road from the western boundary of the project to the eastern boundary of the project. 3. The cash park fee applicable at the time of building permit issuance shall be charged to the lots occurring on the Olympic Hills property. 4. The dike area on the Olympic Hills property should be dedicated as a trail connection to complete the open space link between Purgatory Creek and Anderson Lakes Park through the Preserve. 5. If the developer feels that these changes cannot be incorporated within the plat, the planning staff would recommend denial of the project. CE:ds *6. Investigate what proposals are anticipated for Sunnybrook Rd. for the future. *7. Investigate Public Safety concerns with the mile and one-half cul-de-sac proposed. *Additions to staff report as per Planning Commission meeting of Feb. 6, 1979. • 9A q - ...- . . ‘.\\' . - r" 1 . • i` a�41. •.�� /. ice.•• Ift• 1 , 11. • • � ''. • `t ' N,... :;;,.- !,f, .-,.1:•: ' i d !: `a' 1, � ., rye .

EDEN PRAIRIE.MINNESOTA March 15, 1979 Mr. Chris Enger . City Planner City of Eden Prairie 8950$den Prairie Road • Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344 Re: Olympic Hills 6th Addition Dear Mr. Enger: The engineering advisors to the Board of Managers of the Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District has reviewed the preliminary plans as submitted to the District for the above referenced project. The following - criteria of the Watershed District are applicable to this project. and 1. The preliminary plans show that grading operations for the-develop- ment are planned adjacent to Neill Lake Marsh and the ponds located on the Olympic Hills Golf Course. It is our opinion that Neill Lake Marsh and the ponds on the golf course will likely be classified as public waters by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources(MDNR). A public waters determination must be made by the MDNR for these areas. If grading or filling operations are proposed to encroach into public waters, no grading or filling will be permitted until a permit to alter the bed, banks and cross-section area of public waters is obtained from the MDNR. If grading operations do not encroach into public wntcra, a grading and land alteration permit will be required from the Watershed District. An erosion control plan showing how erosion will be controlled both during and after construction must accompany the permit application. 2. Basement floor elevations for homes constructed adjacent to Neill Lake Marsh and the ponds on the Olympic Hills Golf Course must be set a minimum of 2 feet above the 100-year flood level established for these areas. 3. The District requires that a detailed storm sewer plan be submitted for review and approval. Thank you for the opportunity to comment of this development. If you have any questions regarding the District's comments, please contact us at 920-0655. --Sincerely, a � y Ro err C. Obermeyer BARR ENGINEERING CO.

Soils such as Ha(Hamel Loam) and Pa(Peaty Muck) have severe limita- tions for residential development. Hamel Loam occurs across the backs of lots in Block 1 and 11, within outlot D, and almost entirely over lot 4, block 8. Peaty Muck occurs across the backs of lots in Blocks 1 and 5 and upon outlot E. Because of the limitations of these soils for residential development ranges from moderate to severe, extra wide footings, care in street and lot drainage, filling, and in some cases artificial drainage .. methods will be required to construct single family residences. -4a- D.

Notwithstanding the verbal assurances we proffered in expla- nation of the same, doubts and uncertainty seem to remain, culminating in the recent article in the Eden Prairie News on Thursday, March 22, 1979, in which it somewhat unfairly reported the results of our meeting with the Park Commission, despite the fact that our proposal was "ultimately recommended for approval five to one". Thus, at this time, in anticipation of the fact that these same or similar issues will be raised at the City Council Meeting on our scheduled appearance date of Tuesday, April 17, 1979, I would like to briefly offer the following comments for your review and consideration. From a historical standpoint, Olympic Hills was founded In the late 19604s, and was slowly developed throughout the 1970's to the point, prier to the pro- posed Sixth Addition, where all suitable parcels surrounding the golf courses have, in fact, been platted for residential lots. During this development • • period, Olympic Hills has emerged as one of the most respected championship golf courses in the Upper Midwest, with an excellent reputation that is known throughout the United States. Moreover, there can be little question that the Olympic Hills Golf Course is an amenity that has undoubtedly enhanced the com- munity of Eden Prairie in general, and specifically, has benefited, as well, the • Preserve and Hustad Additions in the southeast quadrant. From the beginning, Olympic Hills has continually accented quality homesites without sacrificing the integrity of our fine golf course and, hence, the golf course area has emerged as one of the prime residential locations in all of Eden Prairie. in contrast to Olympic Hills Corporation's recent role as a residen- tial developer, the original motivation which precipitated the building of the golf course continues to exist; that is, the owners of Olympic Hills, all of whom are ardent golfers, as well as, supporters of Minnesota golf per se, hope someday to be in a position to offer the clubhouse and golf course to the general membership at a price they can reasonably afford while at the same time allowing the owners to recover most of the substantial Investment which the club operation has increasingly necessitated. From the earliest stages, the operation of Olympic Hills has required large annual cash infusions in order to sustain itself. Thus, the owners of Olympic Hills Corporation, all of whom are extremely financially solvent individuals, (notwithstanding the misinformed comments of the author of the above-referenced Eden Prairie News article) were continually called upon to provide the requisite funds. However, as the years pass, the cost of interest, labor, taxes, and all services, continue to soar far in excess of any increase in dues, and the original canton dream that had sparked the creation of Olympic Hills has slowly transformed Into a finan- cial burden. • • • • Therefore, allowing the approximate 50 acres of adjacent land to remain • untouched and undeveloped, was obviously a luxury that the Club could ill afford. As a result, the Board turned to the development of this surrounding property as a means to reduce, at least in part, the mortgage indebtedness connected with the course. Olympic Hills Additions One through Five have been the result of such a program. These excellent projects were designed and developed by working clo- sely with the City on all levels, and the results are such that everyone con- cerned can be justifiably proud. With the above history in mind, we can now • focus more clearly on the present proposal, Olympic Hills Sixth Addition. Olympic Hills Sixth Addition is a project jointly authored by Olympic Hills Corporation and the Preserve. Although preliminary discussions and planning between the parties were extensive, the basic needs and benefits for both parties are relatively straightforward. For Olympic Hills, such a joint venture would allow us to respond to a severe water problem on our 14th fairway, which has substantially reduced our utilization of the hole, and, in turn, has caused us to consider possible redesigning of the existing course in order to alleviate this problem. Since our alternatives•were limited in that the Preserve owned the only adjacent land suitable for the development of additional quality golf holes, we, In turn, initiated the discussions. Moreover, we, of course, were acutely aware of the fact that such a rearrangement of the holes, If pro • - perly handled, could, in fact, allow us to develop much needed additional resi- dential golf lots within the golf course Itself, in the same fashion as such prominent local courses as North Oaks and Deiiwood. However, in order to insure • that the course itself would not suffer, the original golf course architect, the internationally renowned Charles Maddox, was immediately consulted. It was his considered opinion that the new proposed configuration would, in fact, aostheti- cally benefit the course without in any way sacrificing the superior championship quality of the existing course. 43q5e, • • Turning to the Preserve's needs, the plan that the Council will review on Tuesday is of equal benefit to their property. First, such a design would pre- • vide the much needed east exit for all of the property in this area. Secondly, of course, the Preserve will now own golf course lots with the resulting appre- clation In value associated with the sane. Hence, the parties, under the auspi- ces of BPW, our Joint planner, were able to develop the Sixth Addition plan. We feel that this proposal will service not only the vested into'ebto of the par- ties themselves, but more importantly, the approval of the Olympic Hilis Sixth Addition would allow the City a much needed eccess route to this area it question, while at the same time generating additionAT prime hemesiteS witheut' sacrificing, In any manner, the natural beauty of Olympic Hills Golf Course, a Consideration which Is paramount to all of us. In closing, 1 hope that The above mentioned information will be usetul to you and the Council In reaching their decision on Tuesday night, and at that time if they have any further questions, I would welcome the opportunity to answer them. Until then, I remain, • Very truly yours, /s/ Michael J. Adams • Michael J.

Section 3. Section 11 of Ordinance No. 93, as amended, is hereby deleted and the following substituted therefor: "Section 11A. Parks, Playgrounds and Public Open Spaces. Subd. 1. The owner of land being subdivided for residential, commercial, industrial or other uses, or as a planned unit develop- ment which includes residential, commercial and industrial uses, or any combination thereof shall dedicate to the public for public use as parks, playgrounds or public open space a reasonable portion of the land up to 10% thereof, as determined by the City to be in the public interest and necessary for such uses. Subd. 2. At the City's option, the subdivider shall Contri- bute an equivalent amount in cash, in lieu of all or a portion of the land which the City may require such owner to dedicate pursuant to Subdivision 1 hereof, in accordance with the following schedule which is hereby determined to be based upon the fair market value of the undeveloped land. • Residential Units Fee Single Family Detached $325 All other residential uses $250 Per Acre • Commercial, Office/ Industrial Use $1,400.00 The amount of cash contribution shall be subject to reduction by the City upon a showing by the owner that the cash contribution pro- vided by the schedule is greater than the fair market value, as of the date of final approval of the subdivision, of that re,, onable • • • • portion of land which the owner could be required to dedicate for • public uses pursuant to Subd. 1. hereof, but for which the cash contribution is required in lieu thereof.

Mini-Parks. • Subd. 1. 'Mini-Park' is a specialized park,playground or open space which serves a concentrated population or specific group of persons such as those residing in the immediate neighborhood and may be located in or adjact to apartment complex devrlopm.nts, town- house developments and single family developments that aro not in • a‘a • • close proximity to a neighborhood park. The land area may, but shall not necessarily be limited to, one to five acres in size. Subd. 2. The Council of the City of Eden Prairie recognizes that it is essential to the health, safety and welfare of the resi- dents of the City that mini-parks be provided to serve the residents, particularly the elderly and young, in their immediate neighborhoods. The preservation of these open spaces within specific neighborhoods, especially in areas of high density, is essential to maintaining a healthful and desirable environment for the residents of the City. Subd. 3. An owner requesting subdivision of land for construction and maintenance thereon of fifty or more residential units may be required to dedicate a reasonable portion of such land to the public for public use as a mini-park in addition to the dedication of land or the contribution of cash in lieu thereof, pursuant to Section 11A hereof. A reasonable portion of such land shall consist of that portion which the City will need for mini- park purposes as a result of the approval of the subdivision and, unless otherwise determined by the City upon a showing by the owner, shall consist of a minimum of one acre for each fifty residential units and a proportionate part of an acre for any additional resi- dential units less than fifty, provided however, no dedication of land for a mini-park shall be required if the total number of residential units to be constructed on the land shall be less than fifty. When an owner dedicates land to the City for a mini-park, the land encompassed in the mini-park shall be included in the total land utilized in the calculation of densities pursuant to Ordinance 135. Subd. 4. The City may determine the location and configura- tion of any land dedicated to the City for a mini-park. Subd. 5. The owner shall develop any mini-park dedicated, in accordance with City specifications, shall preserve existing trees whenever possible and shall make use of natural materials such as large boulders in the development."

Ulstad, City Manager FROM: Bob Lambert, Director of Community Services DATE: April 12, 1979 SUBJECT: Bryant Lake Park Plan On December 18, 1978, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission • "moved that the commission accept and recommend the basic park plan (for Bryant Lake Regional Park) with the minor changes they had agreed upon, (changing the location of the parking lot for the boat launch area, and switching the foot path • and the bike trail) but leaving the access road open for review." On January 15, 1979, the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission "moved to recommend that the present access be maintained as a temporary access; and that the park plan be accepted, deleting that portion of the proposed access from Rowland Road to the top of the hill, and delay asphalting of the bike trail on the old access road." This action was to be an intermediate solution until the City Council took final action on the plan and the status of Rowland Road. During the summer of 1978 the Community Services Department began construction • of trails in Bryant Lake Park according to the concept development plan approved by the City Council and the Metropolitan Council. Approximately midway through construction of these trails a number of residents became concerned as to the • alignment of the trails and the development plan of the park. These residents brought up several good points and the City agreed to stop construction until • the residents had a chance to provide input into the plan. The City staff also agreed to seek the opinion of an outside consultant on the proposed park plan including the.access road. City staff spent three meetings with residents going through the entire planning process of the park and including input from the residents and from the park planner from the Hennepin County Park Reserve District. • At our December meeting I recaunended approval of the plan. During that meeting the majority of the residents agreed that the plan was greatly improved but all had reservations on the proposed access point. The residents requested the carnission to wait on a decision on the park plan until the question on Rowland Road was answered. The residents from that area were proposing that Rowland Road dead end into Bryant Lake Regional Park. During the summer of 1979, the Community Services Department would like to complete the construction of the trail system within the park and to construct the new • access road and parking areas. i(e would anticipate that during 1979 the old • • access road would continue to be used. The new access roads would not be used until construction is completed, which we would anticipate would be late 1979 or the beginning of 1980. The City staff recommends approval of the Bryant Lake Regional Park Master Plan with the access road as shown on the plan.

Co. 63,035.70 Water Projects Co. qualified their bid be stating that their prices would remain firm for only 1 year from date of bid rather than thru 1980 as required in the specs. We recommend that it would be in the best interests of the City to award the contract to Water Products Co. for the following reasons: • 16X 1. Water Products Co. is located in Eden Prairie. 'Parts and service are readily available and our past experience with this company and their products has been very good. 2...,hwarding to the Davies Co. would result in a different make of meters in our system. Presently, all meters are Rockwell as sup- plied by Water Products Co. The Rockwell meters have performed very well and present no maintenance problems. 3. Water Products Co., under separate letter (copy attached), has agreed, until further written notice, to'continue invoicing the City at the current rate($30.77) for 5/W" metes and to reduce the price of copper horns from $11.05 R:ureCHL price to $1O.05. Apparently, because of Rockv4M1 Mfg, Co. .policy, Water Products Co. was unable to quote the lower prices in their formal bidding proposal. 4. The mein iiiLsnl of takfngb1ds.at this time was to ensure that • the prites we have been paying to Water•Products Co. are cam petitive. We believe this-has been accomplished. Recommend award of contract to Water Products Co. for water meters to purchased in accordance with their,prrposal, except as modified by 43 above. • CJJ:kh • • Nq 3 • otocrs ct 15801 WEST 78TH ST.

City of Eden Prairie 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, MN. 55343 RE: SANITARY SEWER CONSTRUCTION - SUPER VALU PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT CONTRACT 51-332 RCM PILE 781023 Dear Carl, • Enclosed herewith is Change Order No. 1 to the above referenced project for construction of an outside drop connection to the ,r:; MWCC manhole instead of the inside drop connection as originally designed. Attached to the change order are copies of pertinent correspondence which support the need for this change order. We are disappointed that the MWCC will not approve the inside drop connection considering the cost involved. We understand • that their position regarding inside drops has recently become more restrictive. It is not at this time part of their written public policy, but may in the future become such. • This change order is written as a lump sum in the amount of • $15,520.00. The basis for arriving at this amount is outlined in 0&P's letter of April 9, 1979. We have reviewed the unit prices for equipment, labor and materials and find them reasonable. We recommend accepting the lump sum price to cover all equipment, labor and materials for the work involved. While there is some possibility the work may be completed in less than four days, it may also take longer. The contractor will not accept a lower budget and the only other alternative would be to proceed on a time and material basis. This approach would only produce a savings if the work is completed in less than four days and leaves the City with the risk of higher costs if it takes longer. The incentive to the contractor to deal with a problem is reduced when working on a time and material project and administrative costs are increased due to necessity to verify records. We therefore recommend approval of the Change Order as attached hereto. Very truly yous, Alan D. Gray, P.E.

Mr. Carl Jul 1 e Director of Engineering City of Eden Prairie 8950 Eden Prairie Road Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Re: Connection Permit at County Road 60 and I 494 MWCC Index Number 638 Dear Mr. ,3ullie: On February 22nd, Mr. Man Grey, Rieke-Carroll-Muller, requested a variance for an inside drop connection to the subject connection permit approved on February 12, 1979. 7:7.• It is the policy of the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission to prohibit the use of inside drop connections within our manholes and thus we will not permit this request. If it is your intention • to make a connection to our interceptor by the use of an outside drop as approved, please follow the procedures as stated in our February 12th letter requesting a Contsission's inspector to be on site at the time the connection is being made. • Very truly yours, C A.

Rd. 60 and I-494 MWCC Index No. 638 • Dear Mr. Gnerre: In response to your letter of February 22, 1979, regarding the above referenced connection permit, we respectfully request your reconsidera- tion for approval thereof because of very extenuating circumstances which we may not have brought to your attention in the original permit application. The attached letter of Feb. 26, 1979, from Alan Gray, RCM Assoc., out- lines the reasons why an outside drop section at Manhole N18 could cost the City $10-15,000 more than the inside drop section as bid by • the City's contractor. This is a substantial sum which, in our estimation, far exceeds the benefits of more convenient access into the manhole for maintenance personnel. The attached copy of the plan sheet for this project shows the location of the water table and • the extra depth of excavation which would be needed to complete the outside drop section per the Commission's specifications. • I understand that the interceptor in this area may be situated over poor soils which are highly saturated. It is possible that the Con- tractor's dewatering operations, which would be required for the out- side drop, could result in settlements which might affect the inter- ceptor. Also, the amount of excavation required to construct the out- side drop would expose the entire existing manhole down to the bottom of the interceptor. It seems that this should be avoided if possible. Another important factor is that upon review of existing and future land use in this area it is evident that there will be no additional `lateral connections between this manhole and approximately 3000 feet to the north. One inside drop structure, in lieu of no connections • for 3000 feet, seems to be a reasonable tradeoff. G,i . Mr. A. C. Gnerre ... - 2 - March 5, 1979 Please again review this matter at your earliest convenience. We truly dislike having to "hassle" you in thts,way, but please know that we are very sincere in our con4e►rIs about the total cost of this project and the extra construction work required, especially during these tint C: of public focus on high prices, inflation and energy shortages. In anticipation of your approval, attached please find a revised permit j . application for said connection. Our contractor hopes to finish the connection within the next few days, before the frost leaves the ground. The haul road used for his equipment is over poor soils and will become impassable once the frost has gone. Accordingly, a prompt resolution of this matter is very important and will be siotere y appreciated. Thank you, • Carl 1. Jullfe, P.E.' .
