aesthetics. Staff has provided additional information in the staff report as requested at
the December meeting relating to other high density projects within Eden Prairie.
The applicant proposes the inclusion of affordable housing opportunities as a part of the
project. Staff is recommending specific language to address the parameters of the
affordable component.
Staff recommends approval.

B. VARIANCE#2016-01
Location: 6991 Sand Ridge Road
Request to:
• Permit a one stall garage addition with a side yard setback of 46
feet. The Cardinal Creek Development Agreement requires a

The applicant is proposing to add a 12' wide garage addition adjacent to the existing
garage, to the west. Without the Development Agreement requirement of a 50' setback off
Baker Road, in the R1-13.5 zoning district, the applicant would be permitted to have a
garage set back 30' from the west property line and would not be encroaching in the
required setback.
Staff recommends approval.
MOTION 1: Move to close the public hearing.
MOTION 2: Move to recommend approval of the Final Order #2016-01
based on plans stamp dated February 26, 2016 and the information included

B. CAMP EDEN WOOD RESPITE CENTER
Location: 63501 Indian Chief Road
Request for:
• Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 51.81 acres
• Zoning District Amendment within the Public Zoning District on 51.81
acres
• Site Plan Review on 51.81 acres
Randy Boser presented the proposal. He stated True Friends is a non-profit
organization for children with physical, developmental and learning disabilities. He
stated they provide camping, respite and travel for kids. They would like to
construct a 12-bed respite cabin at Camp Eden Wood. The building will include
sleeping capabilities along with food service. This would be a two-story building in
the Historic District. Mr. Boser said the summer season is very busy so they would
like to begin construction in the fall and complete the project the following spring.
Chair Stoltz asked Klima to review the staff report. Klima said the project
proponent would like to construct a Respite Center at the Camp Eden Wood
property, which is included in the Glen Lake National Historic District. Staff
recommendation is for approval based on the conditions listed in the staff report.
Higgins said she spent time on the Heritage Preservation Committee and is pleased
to hear about this program but she also commented she would like the historic
presence saved. She would also like someone to comment on the existing building
that would be torn down.
Mr. Boser said the existing building is one story and is small; the building is not
utilized any more. They would like a 6,000 square foot building with this new
construction and it would be located at a spot where it is not visible until you get up
to the top of the hill. The building is quite a distance from the two main historical
buildings on site.
Chair Stoltz opened the meeting up for public input. There was no input.

C. HAMPTON INN
Location: 11825 Technology Drive
Request for:
• Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 1.7 acres
• Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 1.7 acres
• Zoning District Change from Commercial Regional Service to Town Center
Commercial on 1.7 acres
• Site Plan Review on 1.7 acres
Kevin Hansen, architect with Cities Edge and representing D & T Eden Prairie,
presented the proposal. Mr. Hansen said that Torgersen Developers are one of the
largest hotel developers with properties around the metro area. Through several
months of working on a plan, Mr. Hansen said they are here tonight to review their
proposal. He showed an overview of the site, which is located between Technology
Drive and Flying Cloud Drive and pointed out, in the future, this location would be
adjacent to the LRT. The site plan is 1.7 acres and is irregular in shape and not
conducive for a lot of surface parking. There is a utility easement on the north side
and a wetland easement on the south side of the property. They are proposing 106
parking stalls for the site and the City Code is 113. Seven stalls have been reduced
due to the wetland buffer requirements. There will be underground parking as well
as a pool located on the lower level. The main floor will have meeting rooms with
a large lobby space and an eating area. There will be 105 units. He stated they are
meeting City Code for the material requirement and showed the Commission the
materials they will be using. Mr. Hansen said they will work with City Staff on the
canopy issue.
Chair Stoltz asked Klima to review the staff report. Klima said this project
proponent is proposing a zoning change to Town Center Commercial and multiple
waivers are requested. One waiver is for parking, other waiver requests are
specific to the performance standards in the Town Center Commercial district.
Staff is recommending approval based on the staff report.
Weber asked why staff is recommending a waiver for transparency. He said we are
giving a cookie cutter proposal and the project could be adjusted not to fit in that
mold. Klima said for visibility is supportable due to the unique nature of a hotel
and the intent of the Town Center area. Weber said he disputes it because it is

within the 10 minute walkshed and feels the Commission is being asked to approve
too many waivers and he votes no for the project.
Farr said he noted it was a standard design with many waivers. One thing that was
noted was the sidewalk was closer to the road than the hotel and he would like to
see it closer to the hotel and bring it down the hill, making it more pedestrian
gauged. Rue said there would have to be trail easements and said he is not sure
how people would feel walking on a trail so close to the building and removed from
the active area of the street. The project proponent said if the trail is brought down
closer to the building it makes it harder in regards to the LRT crossing but said they
could look into it. Kirk said there may be a benefit taking it down and connecting
with Lake Idewild Trail.
Chair Stoltz opened the meeting up for public input.
Tom Oakes, of 6731 Wakefield Drive, asked if the building had to be 5 stories high
and if the project is reliant on the LRT to succeed. Mr. Hansen said in regards to
the height, the 5 stories is the bare minimum for the building in order to make a
profit. The project is also not reliant on the LRT to be successful,but views the
LRT as a benefit.
Mr. Hansen said it is a difficult site to work with but stated there is a lot of public
space to be viewed. They did modify the lay out of the lobby to face the lake and as
far as the cookie cutter design, it is an improvement to the exterior design which is
the Hampton Inn prototype.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Higgins, to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 6-0.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Kirk, to recommend approval of the Planned
Unit Development Concept Review on 1.7 acres; Planned Unit Development
District Review with waivers on 1.7 acres; Zoning District Change from
Commercial Regional Service to Town Center Commercial on 1.7 acres; and Site
Plan Review on 1.7 acres based on the information included in the staff report dated
March 4, 2016 and plans stamp dated February 12, 2016. Motion carried 5-1,
with Weber opposing.

PREVIOUS REVIEW & PLAN REVISIONS
The Planning Commission opened the public hearing for this development proposal at its
December 7, 2015 meeting. The public hearing has been continued in order to provide
additional time for the project proponent to address concerns identified at the December meeting
including:
1. Site aesthetics; including architecture, exterior materials, and landscaping;
2. Affordability element; and
3. Open space.
The proponent has revised the plans as follows:
1. additional parking stalls added and clarification that high frequency guests and
employees will have card access to the garage parking to maintain surface parking areas
for infrequent visitors;
2. adjusted the drive entry to reduce impervious surface and create more site amenities.
This revision allows deliveries to occur without blocking the front entry;
Staff Report—Eden Prairie Senior Living
March 23, 2016
Page 2
3. added outdoor communal gathering amenities such as bird watching area, front porch,
patio and sitting areas with pergolas;
4. reduced the number of units from 120 to 116;
5. updated the exterior to add definition to the roofline and revised the exterior materials
proposed;
6. added port cochere and a 2 story lobby for grand entry;
7. added more amenity space to the garage level.
The proponent is continuing to work with the adjacent property owner and the City to establish
an easement to allow access between the parcels and to the City's infrastructure in the northeast
corner of the site. A condition of approval is recommended that requires the establishment of
this easement prior to signature of the Development Agreement.
The proponent is also working with MnDOT to incorporate the excess right of way south of the
driveway entrance into the project area. Due to the process that MnDOT must follow for the
conveyance of property, the timeline for conveyance exceeds the timeline for the review period
of this application. Staff is recommending language that would allow the proponent to represent
how the excess right of way will be incorporated into the project upon transfer of ownership and
that the proponent will be responsible for all costs associated with the conveyance. In the
alternative, should the conveyance not occur, the site amenities proposed within this area will
need to be accommodated within the proposed Lot 1, Block 1.
At the December public hearing, several questions regarding other multiple family development
projects were raised. Please see below for additional information.
Project Name Housing Type Density (units/acre) Parking (2 stalls/unit required)
Martin Blu Multi-Family 61.83 2.0 to 1.06 /unit
Summit Place Senior 27.9 2.0 to 0.7/unit
Lincoln Pare Multi-Family 38.5 NA
Water Tower Multi-Family 39.9 NA
Rolling Hills Senior 20.95 2.0 to 1.0/unit
Presbyterian Senior Component 55 units/acre for 2.0 to 0.8 /unit for senior
Homes Bldgs. C & D component
Real Life Co-op Senior 26 2.0 to 1.5
Based on the revised unit and parking count for this project, the proposed density is 34.42 units
per acre on the subject site only and is 32.86 units per acre when the excess MnDOT right of way
is included. The parking count proposed is 101 stalls which corresponds to 0.87 parking stalls
per unit.
Staff Report—Eden Prairie Senior Living
March 23, 2016

BACKGROUND
The four northern parcels are guided as Low Density Residential and the southern parcel is
guided Office. Surrounding properties are guided Low Density Residential, Medium Density
Residential and Neighborhood Commercial.
The four northern parcels are zoned Rural and the southern parcel is zoned Office. Surrounding
zoning is Rural, R1-13.5, RM-6.5 and Neighborhood Commercial.
Highway 169 and the City of Bloomington border the property to the east.
The request is to reguide the property to High Density Residential and rezone to RM-2.5 for the
construction of a 116 unit senior living project. The proposed project includes independent
living, assisted living, and memory care units. The proposal includes underground and surface
parking.
The property is situated on and near arterial and collector roadways, is proximate to commercial
uses and provides for a transition between existing single family areas and high capacity
roadways. Multiple family development in this location could be considered an appropriate
transitional land use for the following reasons:
1. Higher density housing is a transitional land use between single family and high
capacity roadways.
2. The senior housing will generate less total traffic and peak hour traffic than a
commercial land use. It provides for a low impact use adjacent to the existing
single family development.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS
The following waivers are requested:
1. Parking from 232 to 101 spaces.
There are 65 underground parking spaces, and 36 on grade parking spaces. Senior
facilities of this nature do not utilize the number of parking stalls required in
traditional RM-2.5 district development. The surface parking will sufficiently
accommodate visitor and staff parking while the surface and underground parking
will accommodate residents. The project also proposes the installation of bicycle
racks and an electric car charging station.
2. Front yard structure setback from 35 feet to 29.7 along Hennepin Towne Road.
This waiver along Hennepin Towne Road is reflective of the irregular shape of the
parcel and is necessary due to the distance required from MnDOT property.
3. Density from 17.4 units per acre to 34.42 units per acre.
This waiver may be appropriate since the site is located near arterial and collector
roadways and provides a suitable transition and buffer from the single family
development to the west.
Staff Report—Eden Prairie Senior Living
March 23, 2016
Page 4
4. Front yard structure setback from 35 feet to 15 feet along Highway 169.
This setback area is defined as front yard due to its frontage along Highway 169. Due
to the width of right-of-way for Highway 169, the proposed structure and parking
area have significant distance from the Highway 169 ramp.
5. Site area per dwelling unit from 2,500 square feet to 1,265 square feet.
This waiver is related to the total number of units proposed. Other high density
residential projects such as Summit Place, Martin Blu, Presbyterian Homes and Real
Life Co-op have been approved with a similar waiver.
6. Tree replacement from 1,048 caliper inches to 164 caliper inches.
The site proposes a total of 457 caliper inches of landscaping material. The City
Code provides for landscaping requirements for multi-family projects and tree
replacement requirements. Compliance with the tree replacement requirements
would pose a practical difficulty upon development due to the overgrown nature of
the site. The proposed landscaping plan for the site is robust and provides for
screening of the building and parking areas while creating nature areas for the
residents.
7. Wetland Buffer Setback from 15 feet to 0 feet.
Wetland buffer setbacks for structures of 15 feet are required. The wetland
regulations define structures to include drives. The entrance drive is located within
the wetland buffer setback area. The building is located outside of the wetland buffer
setback area.
8. Group Usable Open Space Per Dwelling Unit. Usable Open Space provided is
19,968 square feet.
City Code requires 600 square feet per unit. The proposed plan provides for open
space both internally in the form of community rooms, dayrooms and a fitness center.
Outdoor gathering areas are provided in the form of patios, decks, bird watching area,
walking trail, benches, and pergolas. These forms of usable open spaces are
appropriate for a senior housing project.
SIGNS
All sign permits will require review and approval through the sign permit process.
SITE LIGHTING
The proposed site lighting plan meets City requirements and will be confirmed at the time of
building permit issuance.
TREE REPLACEMENT AND LANDSCAPING PLAN
The site includes a number of significant trees that are subject to the tree replacement
requirements of the City Code. The applicant is seeking a waiver to the tree replacement
Staff Report—Eden Prairie Senior Living
March 23, 2016
Page 5
requirements. Due to the amount of existing vegetation on site, compliance with the tree
replacement requirements poses a practical difficulty upon development. The landscaping plan
meets the landscaping requirements for the site but falls short of the tree replacement
requirements. Staff is continuing to work with the applicant to provide for a landscaping plan
that is maintainable as it matures while also reflecting the size requirements of City Code.
SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS
A 5 foot sidewalk is proposed along the west side of the lot from the property connecting to
Pioneer Trail.
ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
The proposed plan meets and exceeds the requirements per fagade for 75/25% materials.
Materials provided that are within the 75% required category include glass, cast stone, and face
brick. The architecture of the building has been revised to include additional varied roof lines,
building wall articulation and an updated palette of materials.
UTILITIES
Existing public sanitary sewer and water lines are located within the property and will provide
access for the proposed project. As a result of the additional fill being placed over the public
sanitary sewer line a portion of this existing line may need to be reconstructed. A plan and
profile of the sanitary sewer line will be required; construction must meet City standards.
Bypass pumping of the sanitary sewer may be necessary and will be the responsibility of the
Developer.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The proponent has indicated that there will be an affordability component included with the
project. Specifically, the use of elderly waivers. Goals stated within the City's Comprehensive
Plan encourage affordable housing opportunities with PUD waivers are requested. Additionally,
the City has adopted affordable housing goals range for 2011 to 2020 of 1,198 to 1,843 units.
Incorporating affordable units within the project will assist in achieving the goals. The
Comprehensive Plan policies also encourage the development of housing opportunities for
seniors appropriate for the physical/mental changes they experience; multiple unit housing with
common indoor/outdoor community areas that encourage inclusion and options that provide
services such as nurses visits, dining options and transportation; encourage independent and
assisted living housing for seniors; and encourage elderly and affordable housing throughout the
City. Staff recommends the following regarding the affordability component:
1. Developer shall set aside 20% of the total number of living units for tenants enrolled in
the Elderly Waiver program. Elderly Waiver recipients are senior citizens who qualify
for the program due to financial need and the dependency on others for assistance with
Staff Report—Eden Prairie Senior Living
March 23, 2016
Page 6
the activities of daily living. Hennepin County is responsible for assessing and
qualifying candidates for the Elderly Waiver program.
2. Units set aside for Elder Waiver recipients will be scattered throughout the
development and not contained within a single wing, floor, or otherwise segregated
area.
3. The Elderly Waiver units will remain used for that purpose for thirty years from the
date of the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Project by the City of Eden
Prairie.
4. The Developer must submit for the City's review the Developer's initial and
subsequent annual rent roll for Elderly Waiver units.

Re: Proposed Senior Living
I would like to express my concerns about the proposed senior housing and assisted
living project (#2015-17) on Hennepin Town Road.
I attended the December 7th Planning Commission Hearing. The project, then described
as 3 story, 120 units of senior housing, required waivers or variance from zoning
guidelines.
The first variance is about density. The zoning guidelines would allow 17 units/acre. The
proposed variance would allow 38 units/acre. I think that allows a"too big" building. On
the south end of the building the lower level parking garage would be fully exposed as
well as the building would be sitting above street grade so that the visual from the south
end of the building would be like looking at a 5 story building. That size doesn't fit into
the adjacent residential area.
The second variance was regarding parking. With only 32 surface parking that doesn't
seem adequate to provide for staffing, visitors and deliveries. Street parking should not/is
not available. We would not want parking on Normandy Crest which is just across from
the driveway entering the project. On major holidays, it was mentioned that they would
have valet parking. Where would that be? The closest parking lot would be by Fitness 19.
That area is not completely developed so in future may not be available. Anything farther
away would not be practical.
My last concern would be about the traffic. There currently is lots of traffic on Hennepin
Town Road especially at the evening rush hour. The traffic engineer should address those
problems before approval.
Thank you for listening.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Tania Mahtani, Planner I
DATE: March 23, 2016
SUBJECT: Variance#2016-01
APPLICANT/ Brian Townsend
OWNER:
LOCATION: 6991 Sand Ridge Road
REQUEST:
• To permit a one stall garage addition with a side yard setback of 46
feet. The Development Agreement requires a minimum 50 foot
setback off Baker Road.
BACKGROUND
The property is zoned R1-13.5. The surrounding zoning is R1-13.5. The site is guided Low
Density Residential. The surrounding area is guided Low Density Residential. The house was
built in 1984.
The lot is a corner lot with a minimum 30' required setback to the north property line (off San
Ridge Road) and 50' minimum required setback from the west property line (off Baker Road).
The west side yard setback from the existing two stall garage is 58'. The applicant is proposing
to add a 12' wide garage addition adjacent to the existing garage, to the west. Without the
Development Agreement requirement of a 50' setback off Baker Road, in the R1-13.5 zoning
district, the applicant would be permitted to have a garage set back 30' from the west property
line.
The area that the garage addition is proposed to be located is mostly cleared of vegetation, and
it is currently used for storage. The grade increases to the west of the proposed garage addition.
The applicant explored other options for the location and size of the garage addition. One such
option included an addition on the back of the current garage with a side entry, which would
require tree removal, additional impervious surface, and a significant retaining wall. Another
such option included an addition to the back of the garage with access through the existing
garage. This option would require needing to shuffle cars in and out, and extensive tree
removal in the back. The applicant also considered adding an 8' wide addition instead of 12',
but this option would not accommodate a third vehicle.
Staff Report—Variance#2016-01
March 23', 2016
Page 2
The property owner is requesting to build a 12' wide attached garage addition that requires a
side yard setback variance from 50' to 46'. The proposed addition would meet the side yard
and rear yard setback requirements of the City Code and Development Agreement, and typical
front yard setback requirement in the R1-13.5 zoning district.
VARIANCE REQUEST
Variances may be granted when they are "in harmony with the general purposes and intent of
the ordinance and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan."
Furthermore variances may "be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that
there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. `Practical difficulties,'
as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes
to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance; the plight of
the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; and
the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality."
Harmony with Purpose and Intent of Ordinance
The requested variance is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance.
Three car garages are permitted in the R1-13.5 zoning district. The requested variance will not
alter the intended use of the property as a single family home.
Consistent with Comprehensive Plan
The State law requires that variances be consistent with the comprehensive plan. The existing
use of the property is low density residential. No land use change is proposed. The variance
would be consistent with the comprehensive guide plan.
Reasonable Use of the Property
The requested variance is a reasonable use of the property. It is reasonable for a home to have a
three stall attached garage. A majority of the homes on Sand Ridge Road have three car
garages.
Circumstances Unique to the Property and not Created by Landowner
The property is unique for the following reasons:
The house was designed with a 17' side yard setback from the east property line. The R1-13.5
zoning district has a minimum required side yard setback of 10', with a minimum of 25' for
both sides. If the house were designed with a 13' setback from the east property line, the third
stall could be accommodated without a variance. The Development Agreement required a 50'
setback, differing from the underlying zoning district requirement of 30'. The lot is heavily
wooded, which will provide screening for the proposed garage addition.
Will not alter Character of Locality
The requested variance will not change the character of the locality for the following reasons:
Staff Report—Variance#2016-01
March 23', 2016
Page 3
A majority of the garages along Sand Ridge Road are three car garages. The homes across
Baker Road from the property have a 30' setback from the property line. An existing wooded
berm will help to screen the proposed addition from view off of Baker Road.
Alternatives would include parking a vehicle or boat outside at the existing location, which
may be more visually impactful to the neighborhood or adding a stall in the rear of the property
would cause additional tree removal, thus reducing the amount of screening.
STAFF RECOMENDATION
Recommend approval of the request subject based on staff report dated 3/23/2016 and plans
stamp dated 2/26/2016.
REQUESTED COMMISSION ACTION
The Commission may wish to choose from one of the following actions:
1. Approve Final Order#2016-01.
2. Approve Final Order#2016-01 with modifications.
3. Continue Variance Request#2016-01 for additional information.
4. Deny Final Order#2016-01.
