Concept Review on 2.9 acres; Planned Unit Development District Review with
waivers on 2.9 acres, Zoning District Amendment within the Commercial-Regional-

Official notice of this public hearing was published in the April 23, 2015,Eden
Prairie News and sent to 10 property owners.
Synopsis: The project is for an exterior remodel and landscaping improvements.
The site experienced hail damage in 2013 and the property owner is pursuing
exterior improvements to the overall building façade, including adding definition,
color and interest to the roof line and installation of canopies. The proponent is
seeking to improve the overall look and functionality of the landscaping by pruning
the existing trees, installation of ornamental trees, perennials, evergreen shrubs,
boulders and prairie grasses to provide a natural looking landscape that can provide
year round color. The berms are proposed to remain and the landscaping
improvements will be located throughout the site to improve the overall look,

visibility and screening of the site. The plan also includes adding bicycle racks to
accommodate parking of up to 16 bicycles.
The following PUD waiver is proposed:
1. Construction materials consisting of 46.1%EIFS and 53.6 %brick and glass on the
north elevation of the building. City Code requires 75% face brick, natural stone,
glass, cast stone, cultured stone, architectural precast or precast concrete panel with
exposed aggregate.
The south, east, and west elevations all exceed the 75% exterior building material standards.
The reduced construction materials on the north elevation are requested due to the existing
conditions of the construction and structural analysis of the building. In addition, the
proponent is proposing to provide modifications to the roof line and store front design that
will provide additional interest, definition, and texture to the overall façade.

B. PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER CABLE FRANCHISE APPLICATION
Official notice of this public hearing was published in the April 9 and 16, 2015,
Eden Prairie News.
Synopsis: CenturyLink has requested that the City consider the grant of a cable
communications franchise so CenturyLink can provide cable television services in
the City. Pursuant to this request, staff has prepared the necessary documents to
process the City's consideration of the grant of a competitive cable communications
franchise. Attached hereto please find the following:
1. Procedural Timeline Regarding the Request for a Cable Communications
Franchise
2. Notice of Intent to Franchise, required pursuant to Minn. Stat. Section 238.081,
subd. 2
3. Application from Qwest Broadband Service d/b/a as CenturyLink for a Cable

The above referenced documents have been prepared to comply with the
franchising procedure required under Minnesota state law. The Notice of Intent to
Franchise was published in the official newspaper pursuant to the timeline that is
included in the packet.
The City received one application by the prescribed deadline. That application was
submitted on April 30 from Qwest Broadband Service doing business as
CenturyLink. The City must now hold a public hearing to consider the application
and solicit public feedback.
Following the public hearing, the City will be required to assess the legal, technical
and financial qualifications of the applicant. The actual consideration of a potential
franchise agreement would take place at a future City Council meeting.
MOTION: Move to close the public hearing.

XI. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
A. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE
CHAPTER 4 RELATING TO ALCOHOL, TAPROOMS AND BREW PUBS
Synopsis: The City has received inquiries concerning taproom,brewpub and
growler liquor licenses. The City Code currently authorizes the issuance of
brewpub licenses but not taproom or growler licenses. This Ordinance revises City
Code Chapter 4 primarily relating to taprooms and growler sales but also
ANNOTATED AGENDA
May 5,2015
Page 5
incorporating a number of administrative type revisions for clarification of issues
that the Police Department has indicated have raised questions over the years.
Attached is a redlined version of Chapter 4 which is highlighted to identify the
types of revisions. New language is highlighted in yellow; language that has been
moved is in green; and language that has been clarified or reworded is in blue.
Background Information
Taproom
State statute authorizes a city, including a city with municipal liquor store, to issue
an on-sale taproom license to a brewer on or adjacent to the brewery location. The
taproom license is limited to the sale of malt liquor(previously referred to as
"strong beer") that the brewer manufactures on site. This provision also allows
cities to permit Sunday on-sale for taprooms. A taproom license does not require
that food be sold, therefore it is exempt from the City's principal part of business
regulations. This ordinance authorizes the issuance of taproom licenses and the
issuance of Sunday on-sale licenses for taprooms.
Brewpub
State statute authorizes a city to issue to a brewer an on-sale license for a restaurant
operated at the place of manufacture. The brewpub license can be a malt liquor
license issued only for malt liquor produced on site by the brewer or a full on-sale
intoxicating liquor. A brewpub license is issued only to a restaurant, therefore it is
required to meet the City's principal part of business requirement. The City Code
currently permits the issuance of a brewpub license and Sunday on-sale.
Growler
In conjunction with either a taproom license or a brewpub license a city may issue
an off-sale license to a brewer at its licensed facility for sales of growlers of malt
liquor that is produced and packaged on site by the brewer. The City Code does not
currently authorize the issuance of growler licenses. This ordinance permits the
issuance of a growler license in conjunction with either a brewpub or a taproom
license. Growlers may not be sold on Sundays under current State law, although
the matter is before the legislature this session.
Principal Part of Business
The Ordinance reduces the principal part of business requirement from 50% food
sales to 40% food sales for restaurants and hotels.
Administrative
In addition, the Ordinance makes a number of administrative type revisions to
reorganize and clarify Chapter 4 in a more cohesive and coherent fashion to make
the Chapter more understandable to individuals who apply for liquor license.
MOTION: Move to approve the first reading of an ordinance amending
City Code Chapter 4 relating to taprooms and growler licenses and
administrative clarifications.

CITY COUNCIL PLANNING SESSION
TUESDAY,APRIL 8, 2015 CITY CENTER
5:30 PM, HERITAGE ROOMS
CITY COUNCIL: Mayor Nancy Tyra-Lukens, Council Members Brad Aho, Sherry Butcher
Wickstrom, Kathy Nelson, and Ron Case
CITY STAFF: City Manager Rick Getschow, Police Chief Rob Reynolds, Fire Chief George
Esbensen, Public Works Director Robert Ellis, Community Development Director Janet Jeremiah,
Parks and Recreation Director Jay Lotthammer, City Attorney Ric Rosow, and Recorder Lorene
McWaters
Green Step Cities Program
Getschow said the PCA has asked the City if we would commit to becoming a Level 4 Green
Step City. Currently, the highest designation is Level 3, which the City achieved in 2014. PCA
staff would provide e-mail and phone assistance in developing green initiatives for the Level 4
achievement. There was general agreement that the City should commit to achieving level 4.
After 20-40-15
Getschow distributed a matrix of proposed "next step" green initiatives developed by staff. The
initiatives are sorted into six main categories: transportation, water resources, solid waste,
energy, land use/community development and other. Getschow asked the Council Members to
identify which items they feel are the highest priorities.
Case said there appear to be some larger themes - such as energy, lighting, water conservation,
ecology-under which initiatives could be grouped. He said things like letting areas go natural
and banning pesticides harmful to bees fit under "ecology." Nelson agreed that energy should be
an area of focus. She said it would be helpful to identify what is actually doable in the areas of
solar and wind energy, so that residents and businesses know what is possible. She suggested
starting a green award program, and possibly providing incentives for properties that achieve
gold or platinum LEED certification. She also supports buckthorn removal and buying local. She
said a section of the web site should be devoted to green initiatives.
Tyra-Lukens noted that the City is already working toward some of the items on the list. She
agrees that it makes sense to focus efforts on energy, solid waste and water resources. She thinks
there are opportunities to do more with solid waste. Aho said he received an inquiry from an
Eden Prairie Center tenant asking why the mall does not offer recycling. Ellis said he will look
into it. Jeremiah said recycling is required only in new construction. Nelson said she continues to
receive input from residents about offering more recycling in the parks.
Tyra-Lukens asked if it would be possible to have the community drop off event twice a year,
instead of just once. Ellis said another day could be added. The cost per event is $40,000. Ellis
said the program is highly successful. Residents save up items all year that they know they will
be able to drop off free of charge. Nelson said the Senior Center has a free shedding event once a
year. She would like another shredding event for the general community added.
Tyra-Lukens said it will be hard to evaluate the success of some of the proposed initiatives. She
asked how we would know if we achieved a 1 % increase in biking or walking. Ellis said a
question could be included on the community survey. Aho said the I-494 Corridor Commission
has metrics on those types of activities. Ellis said Eden Prairie could also choose to participate in
the Bike Friendly Community program. Several different levels of achievement are possible,
based on criteria such as trails,bike safety education, etc.
Case suggested that each Council Member choose 10 to 15 items they consider most important
from the matrix, then meet again to discuss the themes and priorities that emerge from the
compiled results. Case said it may be helpful for Council to stay at the higher level of defining
the themes and allowing staff to flesh out the details of how the goals are achieved. Getschow
said Council Members can give their lists to him and he will compile the results. The resulting
list will be used by staff to begin to formulate plans, and the Council can serve as the sounding
board for the plans beginning as soon as their next meeting. Butcher Wickstrom suggested
wrapping the plan so it can be marketed and talked about.
Workplan Update
Getschow provided a brief overview of each department's 2015 work plan.
Goals
The Council Members compiled a list of goals and priorities for 2015, including:
• 20-40-15 Next Steps
• LRT Station Public Art- Tyra-Lukens said the SWLRT project office is setting up art
committees. The list of artists has been narrowed down to 8 to 10. The art will not come to
the City Council for formal approval,but there will be opportunities to provide input
throughout the process. Lotthammer said the Eden Prairie Station Art Committee will be
provided with sketches based on the concepts discussed during their meetings with the artists
and consultants, and the City Council will have the opportunity to view those sketches. The
results of the station design charette will used by the artists to create their concepts. There are
opportunities for public art outside of the actual stations in the immediate neighborhoods and
as part of the larger streetscape. Staff has included funding in the CIP for each station, and a
grant application has been submitted for station area design funds. Tyra-Lukens said UHG is
interested in public art in their station area. The Council Members agreed that they would
like to see the City logo or entry monument design elements incorporated in the art and
design.
• Seek input& feedback from diverse groups - Case said some groups (Somali, seniors,
businesses) are still reaching out to Council Members for more connection. Getschow said an
International Town Hall Meeting is being planned for the end of April by Housing &
Community Services staff and the Human Rights &Diversity Commission. Case said these
groups should always be on the front burner.
• Involve citizens in decisions - Jeremiah said the comp plan update will provide a great
opportunity for citizen involvement in decision making. Staff is exploring different methods
to gather input, including attending established neighborhood events. There is also a desire to
engage the community in commenting on the budget.
• Exterior maintenance -Nelson suggested moving away from complaint-only enforcement.
She would like to see a program similar to the park boundary program, where staff go out
and actively inspect areas to determine whether or not property owners are in compliance.
• Transportation
o Planning for the future (comp plan)
o Demographics
o SW LRT (circulator system)
• Community identity - The City Councils wants to keep historic properties at the forefront.
The Council also mentioned the monument sign project, marketing initiatives, and website
enhancements as efforts that contribute to community identity.
• Marketing updates -Nelson would like the website to be more customized, with photos of
each amenity or facility and a site index to help with navigation.
• Younger/newer residents -Butcher Wickstrom noted that this demographic rated
involvement lower than other segments. She would like to make sure they are brought into
the decision making processes.
The meeting was adjorned at 8:00 p.m.

Workshop-Heritage Room II
I. WATER TOWER RECOATING PROJECT
Ellis said the Town Center Water Tower is scheduled to be recoated in 2016. He said
recoating is typically required every 15 years or so, and this water tower was last recoated in
1997. The cost for recoating is between$800,000 and$1,000,000. Staff has worked with a
consultant to develop several designs for the outside of the outside of the tower.

Ellis said staff is looking for a design that is tasteful and timeless, and that also embodies the
history of the community. The image will repeat two to three times around the tower,
depending on the design and desired sight lines. Ellis said staff feels the designs with only a
small patch of prairie grass lack boldness, and that inclusion of the "live, work, dream"
tagline results in a design that is busy and may soon be dated. In general, staff prefers the
design with prairie grass around the entire tower and the bird located below"Eden Prairie."
The Council Members agreed they prefer this design.

II. COMMUNITY IMAGE AWARDS PROGRAM
Jeremiah said Mayor Trya-Lukens expressed interest in creating a community image award
program. Community Development Technician Alysen Nesse and Communications Manager
Joyce Lorenz researched award programs in other communities and developed a proposed
program and roll out plan for an Eden Prairie award. Jeremiah said some of the proposed
elements are based on the successful community image award program the City of Hopkins
implemented about 10 years ago.
The proposed awards would highlight community residents and businesses that make
significant improvements to their properties, including landscaping, accessibility
improvements,public art, green/sustainability(rain gardens, stormwater storage), lighting,
signs or exterior upgrades. Jeremiah said the award could also honor those who demonstrate
continued and superior maintenance of their property. Staff suggests three categories:
commercial/industrial/office, multi-family residential, and single family residential.
Selection committee members could include representatives from City Commissions, the
Chamber of Commerce and local realtors.
Jeremiah said if the City Council wants to move forward with the program, staff could begin
advertising for nominations this summer, with the selection committee meeting and
announcing a winner in the fall. The cost of the program would be minimal, consisting
mainly of staff time and the cost of the award(estimated at $60 to $100 per award).
There was general agreement that the awards program is a good idea, and that staff should
proceed with implementation. Butcher-Wickstrom wondered if the timeline is too aggressive,
and whether or not there is enough time to get the word out about the award before
nominations are due. Jeremiah said marketing could begin as early as May, including an
article in Life in the Prairie. Nelson suggested having a green award category for both
commercial and residential properties. She said green improvements are important even
though they are not always "pretty." Tyra-Lukens suggested combining all of the residential
categories into one award. Jeremiah said the City would not have to give an award in each
category every year. She feels that landscaping projects for single versus multi-family
properties are very different. Tyra-Lukens asked how nominations will work. Jeremiah said
both self-nominations and nominations by others will be allowed.
Jeremiah asked for input on what to name the program. The City Council members agreed
that the staff suggestion of"The Spirit of Eden Prairie Awards" is excellent.
Jeremiah said Hopkins presents each winner with a garden stone, and asked what type of
award the City Council prefers. Nelson suggested a plaque that could be displayed either
inside or outside. Jeremiah said winners could be given a choice of what type of award they
City Council Workshop Minutes
April 21, 2015
Page 3
prefer. Butcher-Wickstrom suggested given each recipient a copy of the Eden Prairie book
as well. Tyra-Lukens suggested advertising the award program at the Chamber of
Commerce's Home and Garden Expo.
III. DESIGN STANDARDS
Jeremiah provided an update on the updated design standards (architectural standards,
building rehabilitation/renovations, landscaping and screening, environmental standards, and
public art) staff and the City Council have been discussing over the past year. She said staff
reached out to architects and landscape architects during recruitment for the Planning
Commission. Ed Farr, an architect who owns a design firm located in Eden Prairie, was
appointed to the Planning Commission and began his three-year term in April. The Planning
Department is currently interviewing candidates for a summer intern position. The intern
will work with staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council to determine what
changes need to be made to the comp plan, guidelines and ordinances to implement the
updated design standards.
Open Podium - Council Chamber
IV. OPEN PODIUM
A. BACKYARD CHICKENS
Sara Freeland and Sarah Kallal asked the City Council to consider amending City
Code to allow residents to keep chickens. They noted that a number of nearby
communities allow residents to keep chickens. They said chickens provide many
benefits including pest management, companionship, fertilizer and fresh eggs.
They propose four hens per property, and up to 18 immature birds in educational
settings. They said Adam Cook, a third-grade teacher from Prairie View, supports
the ordinance change and would like to include raising chickens in his curriculum.
Their proposal would allow chickens in rear yards in enclosures located 10 feet
from property lines. They said state statute already includes standards for
enclosures, and current animal cruelty standards apply to the treatment of
chickens; therefore, they do not see a need for the City to license residents who
keep chickens. They propose allowing for the slaughter of chickens, since they
feel it is the most efficient and humane way of disposing of elderly or ailing hens.
Tyra-Lukens noted that the City Council looked at this issue not long ago, and
decided against making any changes to the ordinance. Case said he would like
staff to contact neighboring Cities that allow chickens and report back to the City
Council on pros and cons. Aho said he would be concerned about coyotes
preying on chickens. Nelson asked how big enclosures would need to be. She

would want to ensure the chickens were kept in humane conditions, and that they
are not able to escape.

Tyra-Lukens thanked those who participated in last weekend's park clean up day. She said
volunteers helped to collect the trash and debris that had accumulated over the winter.
A. I-494 CORRIDOR COMMISSION UPDATE
Melissa Madison, Executive Director of the I-494 Corridor Commission, thanked
Council Member Aho for serving as Chair of the Commission for the last three years,
and Dave Lindahl for his service on the Commission for the last 26 years. She reviewed
the background of the commission, which is made up of five member cities:
Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Minnetonka and Richfield. She explained the current
projects being worked on by the commission. She noted they are one of five
Transportation Management Organizations in the Twin Cities, and have 19% of the
metro area population and 230,000 jobs. The commission tries to encourage commuters
to use transit, ride-sharing, and bicycles by providing free employer resources, hosting
commuter fairs, providing individual commute assistance, offering a guaranteed ride
home program through the Metropolitan Council, and "Try It" campaigns. They work
with many employers to promote transit use, ride-share and telework programs.
Tyra-Lukens thanked her for the report and noted giving commuters options and
keeping cars off the road are important for Eden Prairie.
Aho said Ms Madison and her staff do a fabulous job. The commission is a good
investment because we can't build enough roads, so any reduction in vehicle miles helps
the infrastructure.
B. LET'S GO FISHING PROGRAM UPDATE
Terry Eggan, President of Let's Go Fishing, Eden Prairie, thanked the Council for the
support for their chapter which includes the use of the lakeshore at Lake Riley, the
boardwalk staging area and the shed storage areas there. He gave an update of their
activities and showed a video clip of the boating and fishing trips they provide for
residents of assisted living and other facilities from mid-May through September. He
noted being outdoors is healing and promotes well-being to older adults and the
disabled. They rely completely on funding from donations and grants.
Tyra-Lukens said Mr. Eggan works with a great group of volunteers who get along
really well and have a great time. Mr. Eggan said the volunteers are totally devoted to
the people they serve.

IX. PUBLIC HEARINGS/MEETINGS
A. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE CHAPTER 11,
SECTION 1.03, SUBD. 3 RELATING TO THE HEIGHT OF FENCES
Getschow said the Minnesota State Building Code was recently revised to allow fences to
be constructed to a height of 7 feet without the issuance of a building permit. City Code
currently limits the height of fences to 6 feet. Staff is proposing a change to the City
Code to provide consistency with the State Building Code and to provide for a
streamlined process for property owners wishing to construct a fence that complies with
the State Code requirements. The code change would allow property owners to construct
a 7-foot fence without issuance of a variance. The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to
recommend approval of the code amendment at the March 23, 2015 meeting.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Butcher Wickstrom moved, seconded by Aho, to close the public hearing,
and to approve first reading of the ordinance amending Chapter 11.03 to address fence
height. Motion carried 5-0.
B. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE CHAPTER 11,
SECTIONS 11.20 AND 11.30 BY ADDING SUBD. 4 RELATING TO MEDICAL
CANNABIS DISPENSARIES
Getschow said recent legislative changes allow for the legal distribution of medical
cannabis to qualifying patients in Minnesota beginning July 1, 2015. State law allows for
eight distribution facilities (one per congressional district)to be located within Minnesota.
The manufacturing facilities are separate facilities. The City of Eden Prairie was
approached by Minnesota Medical Solutions, LLC regarding the potential for locating a
medical cannabis dispensary within Eden Prairie. Minnesota Medical representatives
provided city staff with an overview of the anticipated business model, including business
needs and potential impacts. City staff felt that this is a new use and it may not be
appropriate in all zoning districts. The draft ordinance provides a definition of medical
cannabis distribution facilities, which parallels the language provided in Minnesota
Statutes. The draft ordinance goes on to identify the Office and I2 zoning districts as
appropriate locations for the distribution of medical cannabis and further identifies
performance standards that would be required to be met. Minnesota Medical has stated
that it expects to operate a facility that is approximately 3,000 to 3,500 square feet in size
and anticipates the need for approximately 15 parking stalls, assuming the facility will
provide service to roughly 80 persons per day. This is all under the current state
provisions.
Dr. Kyle Kingsley, CEO of Minnesota Medical Solutions, gave an overview of the
organization and their plans for the future. He reviewed the compounds used in their
products and the administration routes for the products. He said they are not able to sell
plant materials, and their packaging will be readily identifiable as medicines. He said their
patients and the patients' caregivers must register with security at the front desk so the
public cannot access the facility.
Butcher Wickstrom asked how they know they will have a customer base to support the
business. Dr. Kingsley said the State did a survey and over 1000 people would have
qualified to get medical cannabis. Butcher Wickstrom asked how many companies like
this exist. Dr. Kingsley said there are two companies that qualified under Minnesota law.
Butcher Wickstrom noted Dr. Kingsley had said the entire function is part of the business
and asked if that is how the other company operates. Dr. Kingsley said Minnesota
requires a completely vertical integration. Butcher Wickstrom asked if the level of
security would remain high even if sales of the pharmaceuticals do not meet their
expectations. Dr. Kingsley said it would.
Tyra-Lukens asked about the cash only basis of the business. Dr. Kingsley said they have
an open banking relationship in place to deal with their requirement that payments be
made only in the form of cash or check. Tyra-Lukens asked if their patients can get
medicine in any of the eight congressional districts after registering with the state. Dr.
Kingsley said the patients may get it in any of the districts. Tyra-Lukens asked if the
manufacturing occurs at the greenhouse. Dr. Kingsley said it must occur there by law.
Case asked if the legislative law would supersede our local ordinance and if there would
be any disadvantage to our having been the first to allow this type of facility. Rosow said
the law restricts distribution of medical cannabis to those who have medical conditions
that are currently identified in State statute. Because our Code is keyed to the current
State restrictions, if the State were to broaden those categories to allow others to qualify,
staff and the Council would have to determine whether the regulations we have in terms
of zoning for this type of operation would still be valid. We have parking requirements
that are related to the anticipated usage of the facility. He did not see State statute
trumping the City's regulations because the State would have to take away the zoning
regulations.
Aho asked what is driving the decision to come to Eden Prairie and if Eden Prairie is the
sole focus for the location. Dr. Kingsley replied they do have some specific locations in
mind in Eden Prairie. They did a demographic analysis and found that Eden Prairie would
be very accessible for patients in the Third District. Aho asked if the formulations have
dosages that are well determined for all the different factors. Dr. Kingsley said they are
able to formulate to a precise dose, and there are several FDA tracked medication
dosages. Aho asked if there are defined standards in terms of normal medications. Dr.
Kingsley said the medications are fairly well studied.
Nelson asked if they plan to rent or purchase the building. Dr. Kingsley said they will be
renting for all their dispensaries. Nelson asked if they would continue to meet their
standards if they were to move. Dr. Kingsley said they are required to meet the standards
in their license. Nelson asked about the length of their lease. Dr. Kingsley said it is
generally five years and noted their dispensary facilities will be ones that he would be
comfortable to have in his own neighborhood.
Butcher Wickstrom commented the size seems very appropriate to the function, and she
was comfortable with the planned facility.
Aho noted in the body of the text provided to the Council there is a statement that the
facility must be located 1000 feet from a school. Getschow said State law is a minimum
of 1000 feet from a school location.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Butcher Wickstrom moved, seconded by Case, to close the public hearing,
and to approve first reading of the ordinance amending Chapter 11 to define and
regulate the use of medical cannabis distribution facilities. Motion carried 5-0.
Getschow noted the action taken by the Council for first reading of the ordinance is, if
there were to be such a facility in Eden Prairie, even if it were to be for another company
or for another scenario, it would be limited to certain zoning districts. Tyra-Lukens asked
if we would be asked to approve a dispensary. Getschow said we would not, and that was
the reason for having the full presentation tonight.
C. APPROVE WELLHEAD PROTECTION PLAN
Getschow said Eden Prairie and all other public water supply systems are required by
Minnesota Department of Health to maintain a program which protects the public water
supply from contamination. Each city's program is designed specifically for the
conditions and the environment in the areas surrounding each water well, and to ensure
community growth and expansion do not negatively impact the city's water supply, the
plan must be updated every 10 years. The update process has resulted in the formulation
of a document which prescribes the city's plan to protect the public drinking water.
Rick Whalen, Manager of Utility Operations, gave a PowerPoint presentation showing the
planning process used to develop the updated Well Head Protection Plan(WHPP). He
noted Kevin Miller was the consulting hydrologist who helped develop the draft WHPP.
He said Eden Prairie has 15 deep wells averaging 400 feet in depth that pump water from
the Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer. There are two million acres of land that contribute to
the watershed area. In developing the new plan they determined that the Drinking Water
Supply Management Area is larger than originally thought.
Case asked if tritium is coming through the fissures or spreading out over the last 60
years. Whalen said water comes to the wells from all directions at various speeds
depending on the surrounding rock. They are not sure where the radioactive material gets
into the aquifer.
Whalen said they are working on a partnership with the bordering communities who share
responsibility for our water. That is important for Eden Prairie as well as to the other
communities. He reviewed the locations of the Class V sites.
Aho asked if the residential well heads are at the same depth as the City's wells. Whalen
said those wells are typically less than 200 feet and are drilled into a glacial till formation.
Whalen said they are primarily concerned with the pathways to contamination by private
wells. City staff is working to make sure the existing regulations protect future
development. We are working on a coordinated spill response with the neighboring cities
and on an education program.
Aho asked if they also look at the long term viability of the aquifer to provide water to
those it serves to see if there is any danger of depleting the aquifer. Whalen replied we are
involved in another process of updating the City's water supply plan. The Metropolitan
Council works with communities on a collaborative approach to identify future water
sources, and we are participating in that. We are sharing information and proceeding with
our Comprehensive Guide Plan update.
Nelson asked if we are going out to talk to those people who have private wells in the
City to make sure they understand that they might do something that would impact the
water supply. Whalen said they send out bulletins and have hand delivered information to
Class V wells. Nelson asked if those people will have to sign something that they
understand their well's impact on the water supply and that they intend to use it properly.
Whalen said they will look specifically at high risk areas and, if the wells are in the
County well index, they would go to private wells first to speak to the property owner.
They are working on a handout for those property owners. Nelson asked if that will
happen this year. Whalen said, as part of the Part II plan, we have ten years to engage
members of the public. Once the plan is adopted and approved, owners with high risk
wells will be contacted. Nelson said it would be good to reach out to them in less than ten
years.
Tyra-Lukens asked how long it will take for the State to approve the plan. Whalen said
the Department of Health gets it next after the Council approves it. They want to have it
completed by July, 2015.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Aho moved seconded by Nelson, to close the public hearing, and to adopt
the City of Eden Prairie Wellhead Protection Plan. Motion carried 5-0.
X. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS
MOTION: Nelson moved, seconded by Case, to approve the payment of claims as submitted.

1. Regulation of Train Speeds
Ellis said his office does not routinely get concerns about train speeds in Eden
Prairie. The authority to set train speeds rests solely with the Federal Rail
Administration. The rail administration looks at various factors to set the speed
limits, such as the condition of the tracks, the warning systems, and the volume of
rail traffic. The speed through Eden Prairie is now 30 mph. and the railroad is
authorized to run three trains per day, on average. The MnDOT Office of Rail
Administration can temporarily set train speeds for emergency purposes. He noted
two of our three signals are being upgraded. They don't receive frequent requests
that speeds be reduced.

Leslie Stovring Approve Agreement for Contract Services
Engineering/Environmental with J&N Weed Harvesting for weed
harvesting in Mitchell and Red Rock
Lakes
Requested Action
Move to: Approve contract with J&N Weed Harvesting for aquatic weed harvesting in Mitchell and
Red Rock Lakes for a not to exceed sum of$39,500.
Synopsis
The Mitchell Lake Association (MLA) and the Friends of Red Rock Lake (FORRL) have requested
that the City of Eden Prairie coordinate an aquatic plant harvesting program in Mitchell and Red
Rock Lakes with the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District aquatic invasive species plant
management program. The costs will be paid primarily from the stormwater utility.
Background Information
The City conducted aquatic invasive species harvesting in Mitchell and Red Rock Lakes in 2014. In
2015 the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District (RPBCWD) completed Aquatic Plan
Management Plans for both lakes. The Board of Managers has taken responsibility for conducting
herbicide treatments in the lakes to aid in managing the water quality within the lakes. It is their
hope that implementation of the herbicide treatment program will help in managing the growth of
curly leaf pondweed within these lakes.
To supplement this work,the MLA and FORRL have requested that the City provide:
• Harvesting in the spring to supplement the herbicide treatment
• Harvesting twice during the summer to help maintain recreational access to the lake
Three quotes were received for the work. They included:
• J&N Weed Harvesting= $34,921.68
• R&T Aquatic=$42,379
• Waterfront Restoration=$46,025
J&N Weed Harvesting conducted the harvesting operations in 2014 and staff recommends that they
be used in 2015.
The Aquatic Plant Management Plans prepared by Wenck Associates for the City and Watershed
District provided three options for maintaining the lakes. These included harvesting only, herbicide
treatment only and a combination of harvesting and herbicide treatment. They also provided an
option for recreation area harvesting. The following tables summarize the estimates included in the
reports.

lEach annual cost adjusted to inflation and summed to obtain a total lifetime cost.
2Assumes 13 acres for herbicide treatment and 10 acres for harvesting plus recreational channel harvesting.
3Assumes harvesting three times a year in channels(once with invasive harvesting)and twice a year in other identified areas
(recreation areas).
4Acreage is equal to the sum of area harvested throughout the year(Acreage=acres harvested x times harvested)
5Assumes lakeshore residents responsible for their own channel from shore to recreational areas&any private swimming area.
The harvesting for both lakes is estimated to total 62.3 acres (21.9 acres in Mitchell Lake and 40.4
acres in Red Rock Lake). The City plan includes:
• Aquatic invasive species harvesting permit application in May 2015 for 23.1 acres. This
would include the higher density invasive species areas plus the channels to those
homeowners who contract with J&N.
• Recreational harvesting permit for a total of 39.2 acres that would include two harvesting
dates in late summer.
The City has contracted with Blue Water Science to help delineate invasive species within the lakes
to determine where to focus the harvesting efforts and to finalize the amount of harvesting area
allowed under the Dept. of Natural Resources permitting requirements for the lakes.
The City has budgeted $35,000 for harvesting. FORRL has offered to contribute $1,500 and MLA
has offered to contribute $3,000 towards the cost of the harvesting operations. This amount will be
added to the contract to allow flexibility in the area and amount of the lakes that will be harvested.
Expenses above the amount reimbursed by the lake associations would be paid out of the stormwater
utility.

would have been covered by the specified insurance) is attributable to the negligent or
otherwise wrongful act or omission (including breach of contract) of Contractor, its
subcontractors, agents, employees or delegates. Contractor agrees that this indemnity shall
be construed and applied in favor of indemnification. Contractor also agrees that if
applicable law limits or precludes any aspect of this indemnity, then the indemnity will be

to:
i. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, guaranteeing
performance of the indemnity obligation; or
ii. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity from Contractor's
insurance company.

notice from the City.

employees and hold them harmless from and against all judgments, claims, damages, costs and
expenses, including a reasonable amount as and for its attorney's fees paid, incurred or for
which it may be liable resulting from any breach of this Agreement by Contractor, its agents,
contractors and employees, or any negligent or intentional act or omission performed, taken or
not performed or taken by Contractor, its agents, contractors and employees, relative to this
Agreement. City will indemnify and hold Contractor harmless from and against any loss for
injuries or damages arising out of the negligent acts of the City, its officers, agents or
employees.

Kristi Etter, IT Manager Change Order for Fiber Redundancy from
Community Center to Fire Station#3
Requested Action
Move to: Approve the change order to the Construction Agreement with Arvig Enterprises for
Phase 5 construction to create a redundant fiber loop from the Community Center to Fire Station
3.
Synopsis
This segment of the project works with the Fire Department to expand the City's fiber data
network from the Community Center, the city's disaster recovery location to Fire Station#3 to
create a redundant loop to allow connectivity to all City locations from the Community Center in
the event of a natural disaster or fiber outage. Funding for this project will come from the CIP
budget for Fiber to LOGIS and Remote Sites for 2014.
Previously estimated Fiber Construction for Phase 5 sites: $18,440, plus $750 for Compass
Consultant's engineering and drawing fees. The contract was originally approved by the City
Manager in October 2014.
The change order is for extra fiber and conduit necessary to complete the build(an increase of
$5520). This increases the project cost to $24,820. Arvig provided a revised price quote for the
entire contract, which is attached.
Full stake designs will be provided upon contract signature.
Background Information
With all remote city locations now on fiber, this phase of the fiber build-out begins to create
alternative fiber routes to prevent city network outages in the event of an accidental fiber cut or
natural disaster. Giving the disaster recovery location a redundant loop will help ensure that the
city network infrastructure is always available.

Requested Action
Move to: Adopt the Resolution accepting the donation in the amount of$3,000 from the
Mitchell Lake Association and $1,500 from the Friends of Red Rock Lake to support
the aquatic plant harvesting operations in Mitchell and Red Rock Lakes.
Synopsis
The Mitchell Lake Association(MLA) and the Friends of Red Rock Lake (FORRL)have requested
that the City of Eden Prairie coordinate an aquatic plant harvesting program in Mitchell and Red
Rock Lakes with the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District aquatic invasive species plant
management program. To assist with these efforts MLA has offered to donate up to $3,000 and
FORRL has offered to donate up to $1,500.
Background
In 2015 the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District(RPBCWD) completed Aquatic Plan
Management Plans for both lakes. The Board of Managers has taken responsibility for conducting
herbicide treatments in the lakes to aid in managing the water quality within the lakes. However,
they did not include harvesting in their management plan. In response, MLA and FORRL have
requested that the city continue their invasive species harvesting and add in the option for
recreational harvesting. In addition, MLA has requested that a portion of the lake not included in the
management plan be evaluated for addition to the harvesting operation.
FORRL and MLA have offered to contribute towards the cost of the harvesting operations,up to
$3,000 by MLA and$1,500 by FORRL. This amount will be added to the city's contract with J&N
Weed Harvesting to allow flexibility in the area and amount of the lakes that will be harvested.

Synopsis
The project is for an exterior remodel and landscaping improvements. The site experienced hail
damage in 2013 and the property owner is pursuing exterior improvements to the overall
building façade, including adding definition, color and interest to the roof line and installation of
canopies.
The proponent is seeking to improve the overall look and functionality of the landscaping by
pruning the existing trees, installation of ornamental trees, perennials, evergreen shrubs, boulders
and prairie grasses to provide a natural looking landscape that can provide year round color. The
berms are proposed to remain and the landscaping improvements will be located throughout the
site to improve the overall look, visibility and screening of the site. The plan also includes
adding bicycle racks to accommodate parking of up to 16 bicycles.
The following PUD waiver is proposed:
1. Construction materials consisting of 46.1% EIFS and 53.6 %brick and glass on the north
elevation of the building. City Code requires 75% face brick, natural stone, glass, cast stone,
cultured stone, architectural precast or precast concrete panel with exposed aggregate.
The south, east, and west elevations all exceed the 75% exterior building material standards. The
reduced construction materials on the north elevation are requested due to the existing conditions
of the construction and structural analysis of the building. In addition, the proponent is
proposing to provide modifications to the roof line and store front design that will provide
additional interest, definition, and texture to the overall façade.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Julie Klima, City Planner
DATE: April 13, 2015
PROJECT: Crossroads Center
LOCATION: 7731 Flying Cloud Drive
APPLICANT: Tim Cashin
OWNERS: Crossroads Center of 212 Limited Partnership
120 DAY REVIEW: Expires July 12, 2015
REQUEST: 1. Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 2.9 acres
2. Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 2.9 acres
3. Zoning District Amendment within the Commercial Regional Service
Zoning District on 2.9 acres
4. Site Plan Review on 2.9 acres
BACKGROUND
The Comprehensive Guide Plan shows the 2.9 acre property for Regional Commercial land use.
Surrounding land uses are also guided Regional Commercial. The property is zoned Commercial
Regional Service.
SITE PLAN
The proposed project is for an exterior remodel and landscaping improvements. The building
experienced hail damage in 2013 and rather than replacing only the damaged areas, the
proponent wishes to undertake a broader exterior improvement to overall building facade.
As a part of the exterior improvements to the site, that proponent is proposing to include
additional finishes to the roof line that provide additional definition, interest and color to the roof
line. Also proposed is the installation of canopies to include additional texture, contrast, and
interest to the façade.
The current landscaping on site is primarily coniferous and deciduous trees on the berms located
between the street and the building. The landscaping has become dated and overgrown. As a
part of this plan, the proponent is seeking to improve the overall look and functionality of the
landscaping as proposed on the attached plans. The proposed plan includes the pruning of
existing trees by certified arborists, installation of ornamental trees, perennials, evergreen shrubs,
Staff Report—Crossroads Center

boulders and prairie grasses to provide a natural looking landscape that can provide year round
color. The berms are proposed to remain and the landscaping improvements will be located
throughout the site to improve the overall look, visibility and screening of the site.
The proposed site plan also includes the installation of bicycle racks that will accommodate the
parking of up to 16 bicycles on site.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVER
City Code requires construction materials of 75% of exterior building finishes to be face brick,
natural stone, glass, cast stone, cultured stone, architectural precast or precast concrete panel
with exposed aggregate.
The existing structure utilizes a combination of brick and a metal sign panel. The proponent is
proposing to reface the building using EIFS in place of the existing metal panel. Upon review of
the building, it was determined that the structure would not be able to support the additional
weight that would be created by using the materials identified as appropriate for 75% of exterior
building finishes.
The following PUD waiver is proposed:
1. Construction materials consisting of 46.1% EIFS and 53.6 %brick and glass on the north
elevation of the building. City Code requires 75% face brick, natural stone, glass, cast
stone, cultured stone, architectural precast or precast concrete panel with exposed
aggregate.
The south, east, and west elevations all exceed the 75% exterior building material standards. The
reduced construction materials on the north elevation are requested due to the existing conditions
of the construction and structural analysis of the building. In addition, the proponent is
proposing to provide modifications to the roof line and store front design that will provide
additional interest, definition, and texture to the overall facade.
SIGNS
All sign permits will require review and approval through the sign permit process.
SITE LIGHTING
Additional lighting will be provided below the overhang and canopies as a part of the facade
improvements. A photometric plan will be required to be submitted at the time of building permit
and will be required to meet City requirements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommend approval of the following request:

have been working with City Staff to update the exterior of the building and
landscaping. Mr. Nelson utilized the PowerPoint to show the hail damage that
was on the building and said the owner would like to replace it. They would
like to use lightweight materials and are proposing an EFIS exterior and canvas
awnings. They will also be putting up new signage that will be in compliance
with City Code. In regards to landscaping they would like to update the area by
pruning the trees and adding ornamental trees, perennials, and evergreen shrubs

owner is seeking to create a façade exterior and the landscaping will exceed the

Pieper said he has no updates.
Higgins said she attended the open house and they talked about the LRT stations
in Eden Prairie. There were about 40-50 people in attendance. She said she did
pick up from conversation that the area at the Southwest Station will be building
another parking ramp and anticipating much more congestion in the area with
individuals using the LRT and buses. In that area, the wind that blows in the
winter can be very harsh and the current shelter areas they have will not hold all
of the people that are waiting for their transportation. More shelters will most
likely have to be built. Higgins suggested going to SWLRT.org or 612-373-
3800 for more information. Pieper said the issue of the wind in the Southwest
Station area was brought up at the Community Advisory Committee meeting.

The following responds directly to the requested information set forth in the Request for
Proposals:
A. Plans for channel capacity,including both the total number of channels capable of being
energized in the system and the number of channels to be energized immediately.
Applicant's underlying switched digital IP based technology allows for an
almost unlimited channel capacity. While a final channel lineup has not been
finalized at this time,please see"Exhibit A-channel lineup and
programming packages"from another jurisdiction CenturyLink offers
Prism'service. CenturyLink will provide the Commission with a copy of
the actual channel lineup prior to launching service. It should be noted
that currently CenturyLink offers more channels in HD than any other
MVPD nationally. It also provides a robust library of Video on Demand
content.
B. A statement of the television and radio broadcast signals for which permission to carry
will be requested from the Federal Communications Commission.
Franchisee will make all appropriate filings and preparations prior to the
turn up of its video service including(1)filing a community registration with
the FCC via FCC Form 322; (2) providing notice to local broadcasters and
requesting either must-carry or retransmission consent election. In the
Twin Cities area,Applicant will negotiate retransmission agreements with
the following stations: KARE,KMSP, KSTC,KSTP,WCCO,WFTC,and WUCW.
The following stations will be carried via a must carry election by the
station: KPXM and KTCA. And(3) registration of any antennas required to
provide service.
QBSI/EDEN PRAIRIE Application-April 30th, 2015 Page 4
In its existing markets, Franchisee complies with many additional federal
requirements in providing its PrismTM service,including all of the FCC
requirements applicable to multichannel video programming distributors
(such as equal employment opportunity and set-top box requirements),the
FCC requirements applicable to EAS participants that are wireline video
service providers, other FCC requirements applicable to provision of Prism'
(such as receive-only earth station license requirements and annual
regulatory fees for IPTV providers),and the Copyright Office requirements
for cable systems filing semi-annual copyright statements of accounts and
paying statutory license fees. Franchisee does not file an FCC Form 327
relating to CARS microwave facilities because Franchisee does not use such
facilities in connection with the provision of Prism". Similarly, Franchisee
does not file FCC Form 320 and FCC Form 321 as they relate to the use of
aeronautical frequencies that are not applicable to the IPTV technology.
C. A description of the proposed system design and planned operation, including at least
the following items:
Description of the Technology and Infrastructure:
CenturyLink will deploy its cable communications service,Prism'°°,over
facilities owned by an affiliated company,Qwest Corporation,d/b/a
CenturyLink(QC). Prism is a switched digital service and is Ethernet
based (it is not a QAM based,broadcast service).The fact that the service
is switched digital and Ethernet based enables CenturyLink to offer
unique features and functions,e.g.,warp channel change,not generally
available over more traditional cable systems,as more fully detailed
below.
Currently, two network architectural designs are used to deliver
Prism'' to subscribers: fiber to the node (FTTN) and fiber to the
premises (FTTP), but the quality of the cable communications service
is of the same high, technical quality regardless of the underlying
network architecture. For FTTN, CenturyLink deploys fiber from a
serving central office to a remote terminal in a neighborhood. The
remote terminal houses the electronics (currently VDSL2) and such
electronics create a broadband stream to individual addresses of up
to 40Mpbs (80Mpbs if using pair bonding) over a copper subloop. For
FTTP, there is fiber connectivity from the serving central office to a
distinct address/location via an optical loop terminal (OLT) and this
fiber connection will support broadband speeds of up to One Gbps. A
set-top box is required for each television in a home to receive
Prism'. CenturyLink recently introduced a wireless set top box which
enables the end user to move Prism' to any location such as the patio
or garage.
QBSI/EDEN PRAIRIE Application-April 30th,2015 Page 5
QC is the traditional telecommunications provider in the City of Eden
Prairie.It has and will continue to pull all necessary permits and comply
with all local rules,codes and ordinances associated with access to and
presence in the public rights of way.
Please see Exhibit B (TRADE SECRET).
1. The general area for location of antenna and headend,if known;
CenturyLink has two "super head ends", one located in Columbia,
Missouri and one in Littleton, Colorado and each super head end has a
satellite "farm" used to download national content.These two super
head ends provide redundancy, i.e., should an emergency interrupt
service at one super head end, and then the other head end will be
used to provide the national content. The national content is encoded
and then deployed over diverse 10 Gig fiber circuits to the local head
where the local content, including public, educational and
government access channels, is inserted for ultimate delivery to end
users. The City of Eden Prairie will be served out of the super head
end is in Columbia, Missouri and the local head end will be located in
Golden Valley, Minnesota. CenturyLink will pick up the local
broadcast signals via fiber circuits and will also capture those signals
by antennae located at the local head end as a back-up, precautionary
measure.
2. The schedule for activating cable and two-way capacity;
While an exact launch date has yet to be determined,we are working
diligently to complete all necessary work and required testing and
operational readiness reviews to offer service to customers upon successful
execution of a Franchise Agreement. Applicant will meet with Commission
and appropriate member jurisdictions to share the actual launch date when
it becomes finalized.
3. The type of automated services to be provided;
As noted above, we have attached a sample channel line up from
another market. This illustrates the vast selection of content
available to subscribers. Because our system is IP based, we offer
unique applications available via the television set such as access to
Picasa. In addition, search and streaming services are available
which enable viewers to search for the cheapest gasoline within a
specified area or to stream selected stock market quotes.We also
have an ever increasing video on demand library. Prism' is a state of
the art offering and its features and functions also include, but are
QBSI/EDEN PRAIRIE Application-April 30th, 2015 Page 6
not limited to: (1) whole home DVR; (2) warp speed channel change;
(3) find-it fast navigation, (4) multi-view (4 shows on one screen);
(5) personal media sharing; (6) interactive news and information
dashboard; (7) PrismTM on the Go (select content available over
mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets); and (8) advanced
parental controls. By going to the following URL,you can
"experience" the features and functions of Prism'' through a short
demonstration: http://www.centurylink.com/prismty/ffindex.html.
4. The number of channels and services to be made available for access cable
broadcasting;and
Applicant will carry the same number of PEG stations as the incumbent.
Further,Applicant is willing to carry any of the PEG stations in High
Definition ("HD") format if the entity originating the signal provides that
signal to Applicant in HD. Applicant will down convert the HD signals to
standard definition ("SD") for those customers who may not subscribe to an
HD package.
5. A schedule of charges for facilities and staff assistance for access cable
broadcasting;
Franchisee will make all franchised cities'access channels available to its
subscribers. For purposes of acquiring the signal,Franchisee will pick up
the particular City's Access Channel signals at the point(s) of origination via
a fiber facility and transport such content back to the local VSO for insertion
in the channel lineup. At the point(s) of origination,Franchisee will need
rack space and power for its equipment to receive the signal(s) handed off
by the City to Franchisee. Franchisee will pay for all facilities and equipment
located on its side of the demarcation point where the City will hand off its
content to Franchisee and as is industry practice,the City will be responsible
for all equipment on its side of the demarcation point.
One of the features available on Prism''is"multi-view"--we create a single
channel/landing page for a category of shows,e.g.,news,and make all the
news channels available using picture in a picture technology. The end user
can then click on the channel he or she wants to watch or watch four
simultaneously. You can see a quick demonstration of this feature by
clicking on the following URL:
http://www.centurylink.com/prismty/#prism-tv-virtual-test-drive.html.
We will use this same technology to create a"multi-view" (also referred to
as"mosaic") for the member Cities'Access Channels. In other words,we will
work with the member cities to assign a channel placement/number for the
QBSI/EDEN PRAIRIE Application-April 30th, 2015 Page 7
Access Channel mosaic so that all of the franchised member cities'Access
Channels will be available on the"landing page"and an end user merely
needs to click on the specific channel/picture in a picture to be seamlessly
taken to the selected Access Channel in full screen view. Because each of the
Access Channels has its own dedicated channel assignment,the channels are
offered in the same video and audio quality as all other channels and can be
recorded if so desired by an end user. Further,access to the member cities'
Access Channels will not be limited to residents of a particular City. Rather,
Prism'subscribers throughout the area will have access to the various
member cities'Access Channels and City residents will have access to other
Cities'or Cable Commissions'Access Channels. This opens a vast array of
viewing options for citizens.
Franchisee is willing to make all the franchised member cities'access
channels available in high definition if the City hands them to Franchisee in
that format. If so, Franchisee will down convert all such HD Access Channels
to SD so they can be viewed by any end user not capable of receiving HD
signals. As this relates to the multi-view screen for the Access Channels,
Applicant's middleware will automatically know if a subscriber needs to see
the channel in SD or HD and will automatically route the end user to the
channel with the proper format.
With respect to video on demand, Franchisee will offer the cities a specified
amount of space on its VOD servers,as will be specified in the franchise.
This will enable viewers to go into the VOD library and to view,on an on-
demand basis,any Access Channel content that the City has handed to
Franchisee for storage on its VOD servers. Such VOD content hand off has a
common industry standard which will be shared with the City when the
terms of the franchise are negotiated and finalized.
D. Terms and conditions under which particular service is to be provided to governmental
and educational entities.
Applicant will provide at no charge expanded basic service to all
government buildings,schools,and public libraries located within its service
footprint so long as those locations are capable of receiving service from
Applicant and no other cable provider is providing service at such locations.
QBSI/EDEN PRAIRIE Application-April 30th,2015 Page 8
E. A schedule of proposed rates in relation to the services to be provided and a proposed
policy regarding unusual or difficult connection of services.
Final rates have yet to be determined,please see"Exhibit C-sample
Prism's"rates"which are offered here for illustrative purposes.
CenturyLink will provide Prism service to all qualified households
within seven days. CenturyLink does not have "non-standard"
installation, i.e., the provision of service at an additional construction
cost to the subscriber. Qualification for Prism" service is purely a
technical issue — it is not possible to pay an additional amount to
qualify for the service.
F. A time schedule for construction of the entire system with the time sequence for wiring
the various parts of the area requested to be served.
Applicant is still finalizing its initial footprint for the deployment of cable
services within the City of Eden Prairie service area. Applicant's planned
deployment is highly confidential. Pursuant to an executed franchise
agreement(s),Applicant will meet regularly with the City and the
Commission to discuss where service is available and any plans for
additional deployment. Applicant is the second entrant into the wireline video
market in the City of Eden Prairie. As a second entrant,investment in and
expansion of Applicant's Cable System should be driven by market success,and
not a contractual requirement for ubiquitous coverage.
The following sets forth some critical background with respect to
deployment of both telecommunications and cable infrastructure. Initially,
local telephone companies were granted monopolies over local exchange
service in exchange for taking on a provider of last resort obligation-a duty
to provide service-to customers in its service territory. Similarly,with
respect to video services,the City of Eden Prairie has given the incumbent
video provider(and its predecessors) a monopoly over facilities based
video. In exchange for making the capital investment to deploy facilities,the
incumbent cable company got 100 percent of the customers who wanted
cable television.
Subsequently,with respect to telephone services,the federal and local
governments effectively eliminated the local telephone monopolies and
fostered robust competition. It should be noted that in doing so,the telecom
second entrant had absolutely no obligation to build any facilities or to serve
any particular location(s)at all. As the FCC noted,imposing build-out
requirements on new entrants in the telecommunications industry would
constitute a barrier to entry(13 FCC Rcd 3460, 1997). Cable companies
were free to enter the telecom market on terms that made business and
economic sense to them. This very environment was the catalyst for robust
QBSI/EDEN PRAIRIE Application-April 30th,2015 Page 9
wireless and wireline competition and the proliferation of higher broadband
speeds.
Congress became concerned about the lack of competition in the video
world and in 1992 amended federal law to prohibit a local franchising
authority from"unreasonably[y] refus[ing] to award an additional
competitive franchise." 47 U.S.C.§541(a)(1) provides a direct avenue for
federal court relief in the event of such an unreasonable refusal. 47 U.S.C.§
555(a)and (b). Until the advent,however,of state statutes granting
statewide cable franchises without a mandatory build requirement(e.g.,
Florida) or progressive cities willing to grant competitive franchises,cable
monopolies continued to the detriment of consumers and competition.
Level playing field requirements are just one example of barriers to
competitive entry erected by cities at the behest of the cable monopolies.
Courts have ruled,however,that"level playing field"provisions do not
require identical terms for new entrants. See,for example,Insight
Communications v. City of Louisville, 2003 WL 21473455 (Ky.Ct.App.2003),
where the court found:
There will never be an apple-to-apple comparison for Insight and other
franchisee simply because Insight is the incumbent which in its own right
and through its predecessors has been the exclusive provider of cable
services in the City of Louisville for almost thirty years. No new cable
franchisee can ever be in the same position as a thirty-year veteran.
See also,In Cable TV Fund 14-A,Ltd. v. City of Naperville(1997 WL 209692
(N.D.III); and New England Cable Television Ass'n,Inc. v. Connecticut DPUC
717 A.2d 1276 (1998).
In sharp contrast to the monopoly provider,a second entrant faces a
significant capital outlay with absolutely no assurance of acquiring
customers; rather,it must compete with the monopoly incumbent and win
each and every customer over. As Professor Thomas Hazlett of George
Mason University has explained,"[i]ncumbents advocate build-out
requirements precisely because such rules tend to limit,rather than expand,
competition." The federal Department of Justice has also noted that
"...consumers generally are best served if market forces determine when
and where competitors enter. Regulatory restrictions and conditions on
entry tend to shield incumbents from competition and are associated with a
range of economic inefficiencies including higher production costs,reduced
innovation,and distorted service choices." (Department of Justice Ex Parte,
May 10, 2006,FCC MB Dkt.05-311).
QBSI/EDEN PRAIRIE Application-April 30th, 2015 Page 10
The fact is that the incumbent cable provider has(1) an established market
position; (2)all of the cable customers;and(3) an existing,in-place
infrastructure. These disparate market positions make imposing a build-out
requirement on a competitive entrant bad public policy. Under the guise of
"level playing field" claims,incumbent cable operators seek to require new
entrants to duplicate the networks the incumbents built as monopolies,
knowing that such a requirement will greatly reduce,if not eliminate,the
risk of competitive entry.
In 2007,the FCC issued its findings with respect to facilities based video
competition and held as follows: (1)with respect to level playing field
requirements,the FCC stated that such mandates"unreasonably impede
competitive entry into the multichannel video marketplace by requiring
local franchising authorities to grant franchises to competitors on
substantially the same terms imposed on the incumbent cable operators
(Para. 138);and(2)with respect to mandatory build out,the FCC held that
"an LFA's refusal to grant a competitive franchise because of an applicant's
unwillingness to agree to unreasonable build out mandates constitutes an
unreasonable refusal to award a competitive franchise within the meaning
of Section 621(a)(1) [47 U.S.C.§541(a)(1)]."
Those two FCC holdings alone should put this entire matter to rest-level
playing field requirements and unreasonable mandatory build requirements
are barriers to competitive entry in the cable market and violate the federal
Cable Act and the FCC's order. Minnesota,however,codified its
requirements in a state law and the FCC expressly declined to"preempt"
state laws addressing the cable franchising process.
It is clear,however,that the FCC did not intend to protect the Minnesota
statute which mandates the imposition of barriers to entry on each and
every local franchising authority. As various providers were trying to enter
the competitive cable market and encountering barriers such as level
playing field requirements and mandatory build out provisions,many states
passed statutes to facilitate competitive entry and to prevent local
franchising authorities from erecting barriers to entry. Such laws were
passed in 26 states including Florida, Missouri and North Carolina,where
CenturyLink has taken advantage of the streamlined process to enter a
market without a mandatory build obligation. These laws have facilitated
competitive entry as evidenced,for example,by the presence of four
facilities based competitors in the Orlando, Florida market,including
CenturyLink and Comcast. As such,these state laws are aligned and not in
conflict with the FCC's and Congress'policies for promoting competition in
the video distribution market.
QBSI/EDEN PRAIRIE Application-April 30th, 2015 Page 11
Minnesota's cable law,however,is quite the opposite. Minnesota's cable act
dates back to the 1970s and directs each local franchising authority to
impose not only a level playing field across a broad range of issues(many of
which Franchisee does not oppose),but also a five year mandatory build out
requirement. Both of these provisions have been deemed to be barriers to
entry by the FCC. The incontrovertible fact is that the law has been
extremely successful in barring cable communications competition in the
City of Eden Prairie: The City of Eden Prairie has not experienced any
facilities based competition because of the barriers to entry Minnesota
codified in Chapter 238.
In support of this position,that the FCC's 2007 Order preempts Minn.Stat.
Chapter 238, Franchisee notes the following:
• Conflict preemption: State law may be preempted without express
Congressional authorization to the extent it actually conflicts with
federal law where state law"stands as an obstacle to the
accomplishment and execution of the full purposes and objectives of
Congress" English v. General Elec. Co.,496 U.S. 72,79 (1990).
• Whether state law constitutes a sufficient obstacle is a matter of
judgment to be informed by examining the federal statute as a whole
and identifying its purpose and intended effects. Crosby v.Nat'l
Foreign Trade Council, 530 U.S.363,372 (2000).
• Minn.Stat.§238.08 mandates terms that each municipality must
implement in granting a new or renewed cable franchise.
• Minn.Stat.§238.084 sets forth the required contents of a franchise
ordinance and sets forth very precise requirements in an initial
franchise about the build: commence build within 240 days; must
construct at least 50 plant miles per year; construction throughout
the franchise area must be substantially completed within 5 years of
granting the franchise; and these requirements can be waived by the
franchising authority only upon occurrence of unforeseen events or
acts of God.
• Section 621(a)(1) initially gave local authorities the authority to
grant franchises,but this broad grant resulted in exclusive
franchises/monopolies. Congress"believe[d] that exclusive
franchises are contrary to federal policy...which is intended to
promote the development of competition. H.R.Conf.Rep. No. 102-
862,at 77 (1992)
• Legislative history clearly supports that Congress was focused on
fostering competition when it passed the 1992 Act. Qwest
Broadband Servs. Inc. v. City of Boulder, 151 F.Supp. 1236, 1244 (D.
Colo. 2001).
QBSI/EDEN PRAIRIE Application-April 30th, 2015 Page 12
• In its 2007 order,the FCC found that"an LFA's refusal to grant a
competitive franchise because of an applicant's unwillingness to
agree to unreasonable build out mandates constitutes an
unreasonable refusal to award a competitive franchise within the
meaning of Section 621(a)(1)." The FCC order,however,targeted
local and not state laws.
• Arguably,the Minnesota build requirements set forth in Section
238.084(m) are in conflict with Section 621(a)(1) and are,therefore,
preempted.
In the Boulder case,the court applied Section 621's prohibition on
unreasonable refusals to grant franchises to find conflict preemption
where local rules required voter approval for any new franchises.
• The mandatory build out in the Minnesota statute could be
considered a de facto"unreasonable refusal"to grant a franchise and
thus conflict with the pro-competition purpose set forth in
621(a)(1).
• In upholding the FCC's ruling,the Sixth Circuit stated that"while the
[FCC] characterized build out requirements as'eminently sensible'
under the prior regime in which cable providers were granted
community-wide monopolies,under the current,competitive regime,
these requirements'make entry so expensive that the prospective. ..
provider withdraws its application and simply declines to serve any
portion of the community." Alliance for Cmty Media v.FCC,529 F.3d
763, 771 (6th Cir. 2008).
• The FCC ruling targeted local rules and actions and the FCC refrained
from preempting state regulation because it lacked"a sufficient
record to evaluate whether and how such state laws may lead to
unreasonable refusals to award additional competitive franchises."
FCC Cable Franchising Order(FCC 06-180,at n.2&¶ 126). That is
not to say,however,that upon full consideration,the FCC would not
find the Minnesota mandatory build requirements to constitute an
unreasonable refusal under Section 621.
o The franchising laws which were being enacted about the
time of the FCC order facilitated competitive entrants into
the facilities based video market.
o In sharp contrast,the Minnesota statutes mandates
individual cities and commissions to include onerous build
out schedules which,standing alone,would run afoul of the
FCC's order.
It should also be noted that at least two cities in Minnesota have chosen to
award competitive franchises to second entrants without satisfying all the
mandates of Chapter 238. See Mediacom Minnesota,LLC v. City of Prior Lake,
QBSI/EDEN PRAIRIE Application-April 30th, 2015 Page 13
Minn.Ct.of Appeals,A09-1379 (Unpublished decision, Filed June 22, 2010).
In October 2014,the City of Owatonna awarded a competitive franchise to a
second provider,and the franchise did not contain the five year build
requirement set forth in Chapter 238. Rather,it contained a market success
model expressly endorsed by the FCC. The competitor will provide service
to 25 percent of the City of Owatonna and will have no further obligation to
enable the provision of cable communications services until 48 percent of
households in the footprint subscribe to its service.
Finally,nothing in the FCC's Order on Reconsideration released in January of
this year alters the above analysis.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: May 5, 2015
SECTION: Ordinances &Resolutions
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: First Reading of Ordinance Amending ITEM NO.: XI.A.
Chapter 4 of the City Code relating to
City Attorney Ric Rosow taproom and growler licenses and
administrative clarifications
Requested Action
Move to: Approve the first reading of an ordinance amending City Code Chapter 4 relating to
taprooms and growler licenses and administrative clarifications.
Synopsis
The City has received inquiries concerning taproom, brewpub and growler liquor licenses. The
City Code currently authorizes the issuance of brewpub licenses but not taproom or growler
licenses. This Ordinance revises City Code Chapter 4 primarily relating to taprooms and growler
sales but also incorporating a number of administrative type revisions for clarification of issues
that the Police Department has indicated have raised questions over the years. Attached is a
redlined version of Chapter 4 which is highlighted to identify the types of revisions. New
language is highlighted in yellow; language that has been moved is in green; and language that
has been clarified or reworded is in blue.
Background Information
Taproom
State statute authorizes a city, including a city with municipal liquor store, to issue an on-sale
taproom license to a brewer on or adjacent to the brewery location. The taproom license is
limited to the sale of malt liquor(previously referred to as "strong beer") that the brewer
manufactures on site. This provision also allows cities to permit Sunday on-sale for taprooms. A
taproom license does not require that food be sold, therefore it is exempt from the City's
principal part of business regulations. This ordinance authorizes the issuance of taproom licenses
and the issuance of Sunday on-sale licenses for taprooms.
Brewpub
State statute authorizes a city to issue to a brewer an on-sale license for a restaurant operated at
the place of manufacture. The brewpub license can be a malt liquor license issued only for malt
liquor produced on site by the brewer or a full on-sale intoxicating liquor. A brewpub license is
issued only to a restaurant, therefore it is required to meet the City's principal part of business
requirement. The City Code currently permits the issuance of a brewpub license and Sunday on-
sale.
Growler
In conjunction with either a taproom license or a brewpub license a city may issue an off-sale
license to a brewer at its licensed facility for sales of growlers of malt liquor that is produced and
packaged on site by the brewer. The City Code does not currently authorize the issuance of
growler licenses. This ordinance permits the issuance of a growler license in conjunction with
either a brewpub or a taproom license. Growlers may not be sold on Sundays under current State
law, although the matter is before the legislature this session.
Principal Part of Business
The Ordinance reduces the principal part of business requirement from 50% food sales to 40%
food sales for restaurants and hotels.
Administrative
In addition, the Ordinance makes a number of administrative type revisions to reorganize and
clarify Chapter 4 in a more cohesive and coherent fashion to make the Chapter more
understandable to individuals who apply for liquor license.
