Liz Narum, engineer for Park Nicollet, 6500 Excelsior Boulevard, St. Louis Park,
introduced Sally King, Park Nicollet Clinic Manager and Nursing Supervisor and
Erin McKiel, BWBR engineer.
Sally King stated they are looking to expand their family medical building. They
currently have six clinicians and would like to be able to add more and grow the
clinic as a whole to accommodate more patients.
Erin McKiel pointed out this is a two story clinic that they would like to add a new
addition. With this new addition, they would like patients to enter on the east side
of the building. The first level of the building is the rehabilitation department and
the second level is where patients would be seen. Park Dental would also be added
to this building. Ms. McKiel showed a PowerPoint of the 2-story expansion. She
pointed out more light would be brought into the facility by having a glass entry
area.
Chair Stoltz asked Klima to review the staff report. Klima said this is a 12,000
square foot, 2 story building and the proponent would like to construct a 12,048
square foot, 2 story addition to the existing structure. The proponent is requesting
PUD waivers for the parking setbacks for the existing parking facilities and a
waiver request for a reduced number of parking stalls on site. Staff is
recommending approval based on the conditions listed in the staff report.
Higgins said she has concerns with the egress of traffic on site. John Donovan, civil
engineer with Loukes and Associates, of 7200 Hemlock Lane, Maple Grove, said
they did not conduct a traffic study but rather worked with City staff and feel both
parties are comfortable with the parking situation. Rue said they are aligning the
driveway with Joiner Way, which would make it safer and because of this the City
does not have any concerns. Kirk said he has been a patient there and has no
concerns either.
Farr asked the project proponent what the plan is for the trash enclosures. Ms.
McKiel said the trash receptacles will have enclosures around them consistent with
city code.
Wuttke asked the project proponent to address signage and visibility. Ms. McKiel
said they would like the signs to be located higher on the mechanical screens and
will be working with the City on this. Klima said the sign package is not part of the
proposal this evening and pointed out City Code does not allow signage above the
roof line.
Chair Stoltz opened the meeting up for public input. There was no input.
MOTION: Wuttke moved, seconded by Farr, to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 5-0.

MOTION: Wuttke moved, seconded by Kirk, to recommended approval of the
Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 4.61 acres; Zoning
District Amendment within the Office Zoning District on 4.61 acres and Site Plan

February 17, 2016 and plans stamp dated February 12, 2016. Motion carried 5-0.
B. RILEY BLUFFS
Location: 18900 Pioneer Trail
Request for:
• Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 5.9 acres
• Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 5.9 acres
• Zoning District Change from Rural R1-9.5 on 5.9 acres
• Preliminary Plat of one lot into ten lots and six outlots on 5.9 acres
Pat Hiller, representing Norton Homes, 18215 45th Ave. N., Plymouth, presented
the proposal. The project consists of 10 detached homes priced in the $700,000’s.
He pointed out each lot will have a nice rear view. To the north of the site they will
be deeding that land to the City. Mr. Hiller pointed out this will be a full
association development. The units will have similar looking front views but they
will not all look the same. There will also be solar ready construction. He stated
the waivers they are asking for are need driven and are asking for a change in the
zoning from rural to R1-9.5. The units will share common driveways, which would
allow residents to back in and out of the development. He stated they will be
adding rain gardens, native vegetation and wetland buffers to help with the current
erosion situation on site.
Chair Stoltz asked Klima to review the staff report. Klima said the project
proponent is requesting a PUD with waivers and a zoning change from rural to R1-
9.5. The City did receive a comment from a neighbor with concerns about the
density; a copy of which is provided on the table for the commission reference.
Staff is recommending approval based on the staff report.
Farr asked about the neighbor’s concern for density. Klima said the city zoning
requirement is 2.5 per acre and the proposal is at 1.7 per acre. Klima also pointed
out the development next to this site is zoned R1-9.5.
Chair Stoltz opened up the meeting for public input. There was no input.
Wuttke asked if there was a neighborhood meeting. Mr. Hiller said they have not
had one yet but they can before the City Council meeting on April 5th if this project
is approved tonight.
Wuttke commented since this will be a private entrance and drive how this would
be maintained. Mr. Hiller said the private street would be escrowed. Wuttke asked
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
February 22, 2016
Page 4
if the City provides maintenance for the private drive. Rue said the City does not
maintain the private drive; it would be up to the association.
Wuttke asked when Pioneer Trail would be extended. Rue said this has been on the
County’s budget for years and it is a provisional project that has yet to receive
funding for the western piece of Pioneer Trail.
Wuttke asked if there were any concerns with the turn arounds. Fran Hagen, at
7699 Anagram Drive and engineer on the project, said it is a hammerhead design
where the residents will have to back up in the driveways to turn around. In regards
to the site line it is 500 feet and that is the maximum on this piece of property. Mr.
Hagen said they are trying to save the trees on the bluff area and to get to a 700 foot
site line they would have to take out a lot of trees. Stoltz commented it looks like
the vehicles will have to drive into the neighbor’s driveway to turn around. Mr.
Hagen said that is typical with a shared road. Farr said he is not concerned with the
parking on site.
Mr. Hiller said he lives in a townhome association and they cannot park cars in the
driveway indefinitely. The association will have to work together to make their
own rules.
Farr asked if “no parking” signage would be put up. Mr. Hiller said to start, they
will not, unless it is a problem and the homeowner association will dictate that.
Chair Stoltz asked if the homeowner association can run out of money. Mr. Hiller
said the state has statutes that associations must abide by, so it is unlikely. Until all
units are occupied, the developer will be the responsible party until all units are
occupied. Stoltz asked if the City would ever take over the road and upkeep if they
did not have the money. Rue said it has not happened yet and if it did they would
have to get council approval.
Wuttke asked if there was a concern regarding emergency access. Rue said there
should be access to get into the development. The fire department did look at the
site and did not have a concern.
Wuttke commented the structures are very close to each other and asked if there
was a concern for fire safety. Mr. Hiller said the buildings are 15 feet away from
one another and given that there is not a concern.
Wuttke asked if there would be park fees. Mr. Hiller said there will be park
dedication fees paid with this project.
Farr asked if there are going to be any fences put up. Mr. Hiller said he does not
anticipate fences in the development.

Chair Stoltz asked why they are putting in an association. Mr. Hiller said they have
to have an association to take care of the private streets and utilities.
Greg Halvorson, of 9536 Lakeland Terrace, said he has known the Ingram’s and
would like to see this project go forward, but is concerned with the parking and was
wondering if reducing this development to 9 lots would be better. Mr. Hiller said
they did go down from 11 to 10 and due to the cost of this development; they have
to have 10 lots. Mr. Hagen said there would be no change in moving the homes
back if they went down to 9 lots. Chair Stoltz asked the project proponent if they
would consider again going down to 9 lots. Mr. Hiller said if they have to go to 9
lots they would back out of the project.
Kirk said in looking at this project, many of the setbacks would not be impacted by
making it a 9 unit development. There is a plan that works and a dedication to the
City and he feels nothing should be changed with this project.
Farr commented this is a good development.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Kirk, to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 5-0.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Kirk, to recommend approval of the Planned
Unit Development Concept Review on 5.9 acres; Planned Unit Development

5.9 acres based on the information included in the staff report dated February 17,
2016 and plans stamp dated January 25, 2016. Motion carried 4-0, Chair Stoltz

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Tania Mahtani, Planner I
DATE: March 9, 2016
PROJECT: Camp Edenwood Respite Center
LOCATION: 6350 Indian Chief Road
APPLICANT: Randy Boser
OWNERS: City of Eden Prairie
120 DAY REVIEW: N/A
REQUEST: 1. Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 51.81
acres
2. Zoning District Amendment within the Public Zoning District on 51.81
acres
3. Site Plan Review on 51.81 acres
BACKGROUND
The Comprehensive Guide Plan shows the 51.81 acre property guided for Park/Open Space land
use. Surrounding land uses are guided Golf Course, Industrial, Low Density Residential, and
Medium Density Residential. The property is zoned Public.
True Friends is a provider serving individuals with physical, developmental, and learning
disabilities. The City of Eden Prairie retains ownership of the site, with a long-term lease
agreement with True Friends for operation of Camp Eden Wood. The Historic District was
created in 1999 on a portion of the property encompassing the Dormitory and Birch Hall as
historic structures within the District.
True Friends seeks to construct a 12-bed Respite Cabin at the Camp Eden Wood property within
the boundaries of the Glen Lake National Historic District. The Respite Cabin will be part of the
larger 19-acre campus of which 12 acres of the western portion is designated as the Glen Lake
National Historic District.
2008 MASTER PLAN
A master plan was created in 2008 describing the history and existing conditions at Camp Eden
Wood. Overall, the proposed Respite Cabin is not in conflict with the master plan.
Staff Report – Camp Eden Wood Respite Center
March 9, 2016
Page 2
SITE PLAN
The proposal includes removal of the non-historic and non-complimentary Bouley Building and
replacement with a new building designed to complement the existing historic architecture. The
proposed Respite Center is comprised of mostly wood siding with glass windows and doors.
The proposed structure consists of a two-level 6,242 square foot structure to the east of the
existing historic garage. The upper level is at grade and contains six double sleeping rooms for
campers and two sleeping rooms for staff. The lower level has a walkout to the northwest and
utilizes the existing grade of the hill to minimize the impact to the site.
Parking on site currently occurs in the existing ‘Lodge’ to the north and east of the proposed
building. No additional parking is proposed as no additional staff is planned for the site. The
proponent anticipates that the number of visitors would be minimal to the Respite Cabin and
existing parking is sufficient.
The landscaping is planned to enhance the existing historic setting and be sensitive to restoring
the red oak, sugar maple, and basswood canopy. City code requires 19.5 inches of landscaping
and 12.5 inches of tree replacement are required for a total of 32 inches. The plan proposes 33
inches.
Exterior lighting will be limited to minimal lighting at the exit doors as required for the Building
Code.
WETLAND REVIEW
Prior to any work being conducted on site, a field evaluation during the growing season using
current wetland review standards is required. A preliminary wetland approval can be provided,
with a condition that a Wetland Determination and/or Delineation must be conducted during the
growing season this spring.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION (HPC)
The City’s HPC reviewed the proposal at its January 11, 2016 meeting. A Certificate of
Appropriateness (COA) is required to make any change in, on, or to a designated Heritage
Preservation Site. The HPC recommended approval of the COA with the following conditions:
• True Friends work with the State Historic Preservation Office to address the comments
outlined in the letter dated December 21, 2015.
• The new building is no closer than 25 feet from the historic garage.
• The final revised plans and updated narrative is submitted to the City prior to the
recommendation for approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness application COA
2016-01-009 by the City Council.
The plans have been revised to meet the 25 foot requirement.
Staff Report – Camp Eden Wood Respite Center
March 9, 2016
Page 3
MINNESOTA STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE (SHPO)
SHPO’s review of the plans for the proposed Respite Cabin is ongoing. Preliminary discussions
have indicated that there are no major concerns with the plans. Staff recommends that any
additional comments provided from SHPO will need to be addressed prior to review of the
project by the City Council.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS
City Code requires a minimum rear yard setback of 50 feet from the property line. The proponent
is seeking a PUD wavier to allow 10 feet in order to reduce the visual impact to the adjacent
historic architecture and minimize grading to the greatest extent practical.
The proponent is also seeking a PUD waiver to the City’s exterior building material requirements
of at least 75% face brick, natural stone, glass, cast stone, cultured stone, architectural precast, or
precast concrete panel. Adherence to the 75% requirement is not compatible with the existing
historic materials of cedar lap siding, asphalt shingles, and wood windows.
The following PUD waivers are proposed:
1. Rear yard setback of 10 feet for the building. City Code requires 50 feet.
2. Waiver to the architectural materials requirements to be comprised of wood, glass, and
concrete. This waiver is justified given the historic nature of the property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommend approval of the following request:
1) Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 51.81 acres
2) Zoning District Amendment within the Public Zoning District on 51.81 acres
3) Site Plan Review on 51.81 acres
This is based on plans stamp dated March 7, 2016 and the following conditions:
1) Prior to City Council review of the project, the proponent shall:
a) Comply with the recommendations of the Historic Preservation Commission.
b) Address any additional comments provided by SHPO.
2) Prior to land alteration permit issuance for the property, the proponent shall:
a) Provide a tree replacement/landscaping surety equivalent to 150% of the cost of the
landscaping plan for review and approval.
b) The wetland Determination and/or Delineation must be reviewed and approved by the
City and Nine Mile Creek Watershed District.

3) The following waivers have been granted through the PUD District Review for the property:
a) Rear yard setback of 10 feet for the building. City Code requires 50 feet.
b) Waiver to the architectural materials requirements to be comprised of wood, glass, and
concrete. This waiver is justified given the historic nature of the property.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Julie Klima, City Planner
DATE: March 4, 2015
PROJECT: Hampton Inn
LOCATION: 11825 Technology Drive
APPLICANT: Cities Edge Architects
OWNER: D & T Eden Prairie, LLC
120 DAY REVIEW: July 9 , 2016
REQUEST:
1. Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 1.7 acres
2. Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 1.7 acres
3. Zoning District Change from Commercial Regional Services (Com-Reg-
Ser) to Town Center Commercial (TC-C) on 1.7 acres
4. Site Plan Review on 1.7 acres
BACKGROUND
The Comprehensive Plan guides this property for Town Center land use. Properties to the south
and west are also guided for Town Center. The property is bound on the north and east by
Technology Drive and Flying Cloud Drive.
The property is currently zoned Commercial Regional Services. Surrounding zoning is
Commercial Regional Services. The request includes a rezoning to Town Center – Commercial.
The Town Center zoning district includes the 3 subdistricts of Commercial (TC-C), Mixed Use
(TC-MU), and Residential (TC-R).
The property is situated at the northeast corner of the area that is identified as the Town Center.
The Major Center Area study identifies this parcel for hospitality/lodging. The property was
previously used as a free-standing restaurant with surface parking. This proposal would include
the demolition of the existing structure and the construction of a 5 story, 105 guest room hotel.
Hotels are a permitted use within the Town Center – Commercial (TC-C) Zoning District. The
proposed SW LRT corridor is located immediately adjacent to the subject property.
SITE PLAN
The site plan shows the development of a 5 story hotel with an approximate building footprint
Staff Report – Hampton Inn
March 4, 2016
Page 2
size of 12,700 square feet. The hotel proposes 35 surface parking stalls and 71 parking stalls
beneath the structure of the building. Trash and recycling storage will be contained within the
primary structure. The existing trail along the lakeside of the property will be relocated to
accommodate the structure and underground parking. The plans indicate a concrete pad along
the trail for the installation of future amenities. Prior to City Council public hearing, the
applicant should revise the plans to relocate the concrete pad outside of the proposed easement
area and include details of the amenities proposed.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS
The following waivers are requested:
1. Front yard setback. City Code requires a 15 foot maximum. 35 feet 10 inches is
proposed.
This waiver is requested due to the existing 30 foot drainage and utility easement for
an existing sewer line along Flying Cloud Drive.
2. Ordinary High Water Level Setback. City Code requires 200 feet for buildings
and 50 feet for parking. 77 feet 7 inches is proposed to the building and 48 feet
to the parking and 27 feet to parking structure is proposed.
The reduced setbacks are proposed to accommodate the underground parking
structure. Due to the 30 foot easement along Flying Cloud Drive
3. Building Footprint Coverage. City Code requires 30% minimum. 17% is
proposed.
This waiver is being requested in order to minimize impacts to wetland areas and to
minimize impervious surface coverage.
4. Maximum Impervious Surface Area. City Code requires 30% maximum. 75%
is requested.
The existing site condition is 55% impervious surface coverage. This waiver is being
requested in order to provide the parking necessary to support the hotel use.
5. Street Façade Building Breaks. City Code requires 40 feet maximum. 52 feet is
proposed.
Due to the guestroom nature of the hotel, there is a location on the structure that
proposes a 52 foot building break. Compliance with the 40 foot requirement in this
instance would require significant redesign of the floorplan/guestroom mix.
6. Street Level Frontage Transparency. City Code requires 40% minimum
required. 15% proposed.
The Town Center Commercial zoning district requires street level frontage
transparency to promote views of non-residential space or product display areas. This
waiver is requested due to the type of use (guestrooms), location of mechanical rooms
and grades on the site not being conducive to street level viewing. In order to
compromise the intent of the code with the proposed site conditions, the proponent is
Staff Report – Hampton Inn
March 4, 2016
Page 3
proposing to add spandrel glazing to areas of the façade that would not normally
include window spaces.
7. Primary Entrance. City Code requires 60 feet maximum separation. Complete
waiver is requested.
The Town Center Commercial requirements include requiring primary entrances
every 60 feet in order to promote a vibrant pedestrian experience. The applicant is
proposing that this requirement be waived completely for hotel uses due to the type of
use and potential security risks associated with multiple entrances.
8. Parking Stall Count. City Code requires 113 stalls. 106 proposed.
This waiver is requested in order to minimize impacts to the wetland buffer areas and
reduce the amount of impervious surface area. Similar sized projects with similar
parking provided have been evaluated by the project proponent and have
demonstrated the ability to meet the parking demand. Additionally, the site is
adjacent to the proposed LRT line which may decrease demand for employee
parking.
9. Parking Stall Width. 9 foot minimum required. 8 foot 6 inch is proposed for 52
of the underground parking stalls.
The proponent has provided a parking study to evaluate parking needs, as well as,
parking design. The proposed parking stall width is consistent with the finding of the
parking study.
10. Parking Drive Aisle Width. City Code requires 25 feet minimum for 2 way
traffic, no standard is listed for one way traffic. 20 feet is proposed for one way
traffic in the parking structure.
The proposed aisle width of 20 feet exceeds the recommendations provided in the
parking study and is not in conflict with City Code requirements.
11. Free Standing Sign Setback. City Code requires 20 feet minimum. 2 feet is
proposed.
Compliance with the 20 foot setback requirement would locate the sign deep within
the site either within or behind a drive aisle. Given the significant amount of right of
way along Technology Drive, the sign location would be approximately 53 feet
behind the property line. The proposed location would require the vacation of a
portion of the underlying easement. The applicant would need to initiate and receive
approval of said easement prior to installation of the sign. Staff recommends that this
sign not be installed prior to LRT construction in order to minimize potential conflicts
with construction activity.
12. Wetland Buffer Width. Requesting a 18 foot waiver to the minimum average
from Lake Idlewild and a 14 foot waiver from the identified wetland.
This waiver is requested in order to accommodate the structure and underground
parking needed to support the use proposed on the site.
Staff Report – Hampton Inn
March 4, 2016
Page 4
13. Structure Setback from Wetland Buffer. Requesting a 3 foot 5 inch waiver to
the setback requirement from Lake Idlewild and a 15 foot 2 inch setback from
the identified wetland.
This waiver is requested in order to accommodate the structure and underground
parking needed to support the use proposed on the site.
SIGNS
All sign permits will require review and approval through the sign permit process.
SITE LIGHTING
The proposed site lighting plan exceeds City requirements.
TREE LOSS AND LANDSCAPING PLAN
The landscaping plans for the project exceed the requirements provided in City Code. The tree
replacement plan will need to be further revised to meet the requirements for tree replacement.
Staff is recommending that prior to the City Council public hearing a revised landscaping plan is
submitted that is compliant with landscaping and tree replacement requirements. Staff is also
recommending that installation of the landscaping proposed along the LRT corridor be delayed
in order to minimize conflicts with construction timelines. This can be further addressed in the
development agreement.
ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
The proposed structures meet the requirements for exterior materials at the ratio of 75%/25%
required per façade. The proposed structures also include roofline and wall deviations and
articulations. Staff had previously recommended that the proponent revise their plans to create
additional interest on the roofline of the carport entrance feature. The submittal materials do
include a proposed revision. Staff is recommending that prior to the City Council public hearing
that the project proponent continue to work with staff to revise the plans to define a new
alternative.
Staff is also recommending that the building plans for the hotel include windows rated
appropriately to mitigate any potential noise impacts from the LRT line.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommend approval of the following request:
1. Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 1.7 acres
2. Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 1.7 acres
