Request for:
• Guide Plan Change from C-Reg-Ser to TOD on 2.93 acres
• Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 2.93 acres
• Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 2.93 acres
• Zoning District Change from C-Reg-Ser to TOD-R on 2.93 acres
• Site Plan Review on 2.93 acres
• Preliminary Plat of two lots into one lot on 2.93 acres
Scott Carlston, resident of 8150 Drexel Court and representing the project,
presented the proposal. He stated the last time he was before the Commission was
for Martin Blu project. He said his company is committed to keeping young
professionals here in Eden Prairie and that is why they are here tonight for the
Elevate at Southwest Station project. Mr. Carlston pointed out this is a challenging
project and they have partnered with Timberland Partners to create a beautiful
development in this area.
Ryan Sailer, Vice President of Development for Timberland Partners, discussed the
project in more detail. He stated they wanted to create a cohesive project. Mr.
Carlston had assembled the parcels and they are co-developing the project.
Timberland Partners is a real estate investment firm which owns and manages
apartment units so they have experience in developing and managing apartment
complexes such as this project. Mr. Sailer also pointed out they will be long term
investors in this development. Elevate will consist of 222 apartment units, with a
portion of these being affordable units. This will also be a mixed use project where
there will be 2 full service restaurants and 1 to 2 retail stores on the first level. In
regards to parking there will be 397 parking units; 287 will be in the garage and 110
will be surface stalls. Because it is TOD, they are supplying 175 bike parking
spaces. Mr. Sailer pointed out the project will be 500 feet from the proposed LRT
and next to the Southwest Station and across the street from the City park. Some of
the resident amenities include a rooftop area, fitness center and a dog spa area. In
regards to green design, there is 3500 square feet of green space on the roof. They
will also have a rain water collection system located in the garage which will be
used for irrigation. Permeable pavers will be in the parking lot and the apartment
units will have energy saving appliances. Mr. Sailer said they have worked with the
City, the LRT office and the Watershed District on project discussions and will
continue throughout the project. In regards to scheduling of this project, Mr. Sailer
said they would like to get this approved by the City Council in August and then
have it approved by the Metropolitan Council in October. The target date for
construction would be November 2017.
Colin Kaas, architect for the project, showed how the LRT will wrap around this
development and also different features for the project. He pointed out the plaza on
this site along Prairie Center Drive and Technology Drive. He stated there will be a
full service restaurant located in the area with outdoor seating. There will also be
an outdoor nature area, trees for streetscape, and an outdoor roof area for activities.

They would also like a classy look on all sides of the building because it will be
seen on all sides. They have spent time on lighting as they want to make it the focal
point in the evenings.
Freiberg said he is familiar with the lot and said he knows the design of this project
was not an easy task for this area. He asked the project proponent if any retailers
have expressed interest in the development. Mr. Sailer said he has not had any
retailers express interest but is not concerned that the space will get filled. Freiberg
commented it was good to see the developer is setting aside 20% for affordable
units.
DeSanctis asked what preventative measures are being taken to address soil
conditions on the site. Mr. Sailer said there will be supportive units put into place
as they are aware of the soil conditions.
Chair Pieper asked Klima to review the staff report.
Klima said this proposed project would include the development of a Transit
Oriented Development (TOD) project that would integrate both residential and
commercial development. The City views this project as the opportunity site for
redevelopment as there were previous talks the SWLRT project office about the
preferred location for the parking ramp expansion to allow for development
potential. The project also provides an opportunity to move pedestrians through
this site and to transit services. Klima pointed out in regards to the TOD
development, they are requesting to re-guide the property to TOD. In August of
2016, the City adopted the TOD Zoning District regulations. As a part of the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment to re-guide the property to TOD, a text
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is necessary to establish the dialogue
supporting the TOD land use designation. There is a proposed comprehensive plan
language in the staff report to address TOD development generally and then
specifically for the Southwest Station area. It is anticipated with the Aspire Eden
Prairie 2040 effort that additional language will be drafted related to the other TOD
areas throughout the community. Klima utilized the overhead projector to show
where the plaza area would be located to draw pedestrians into the site and into the
retail area, which in turn would move them into the parking ramp. As part of this
development, it will incorporate benches, public art, decorative bike racks and
decorative surface to enhance the plaza and area. All of these things will create a
welcoming feel. The retail promenade will also move people through the site. The
developer is requesting PUD approval with 6 waivers. Staff recommendation is for
approval. In regards to park dedication, the City is working with the project
proponent.
Kirk stated this project is intriguing because the area has historically had traffic
flow problems and asked what has been discussed on this issue. Klima said the
City staff is aware of the traffic issues, specifically during the noon hour. The
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
July 10, 2017
Page 4
development is also aware and is working to attract users that will compliment
rather than duplicate existing uses on site. In addition, after 6 pm the parking garage
would be open for public use. Kirk asked if the City is comfortable with the
parking plan. Klima stated staff is comfortable with the plan.
Villareal asked if the pick-up station for Southwest Transit is to be expanded.
Klima showed where the drop-off areas would be for the LRT and Southwest
Station. Rue stated on this site there will be LRT improvements. There is a bus and
an LRT platform. The entrance off of Technology Drive would be full access with
left hand turns, but there would not be a signal at that intersection. Weber stated
that could potentially be a problem. Rue said there will be some reduction in traffic
there as Culver’s will be gone. Weber said it is difficult to drive east and west in
the parking lot. Rue said there were some recommendations to this area to alleviate
some traffic issues. There will also be two access points to get out of the parking
ramp versus just the one which is there now.
Farr asked if this project is contingent on the LRT coming into the area. Klima said
since the site is already served by a bus station, it qualifies as a TOD area.
Villareal asked if there will be plans for electrical vehicle charging stations. Mr.
Sailer said they have not put that into the plan yet.
Villareal asked how many garbage stalls would there be and will the retailers have
access to them. Mr. Sailer said there will be 3 garbage containers and 2 recycling
containers and the retailers will have access to these.
Farr asked in regards to delivery vehicles and moving vans how will this work. Mr.
Sailer said they will have the ability to stage the timing on this.
Chair Pieper opened the meeting up for public input.
Jeff Strate, resident of 15021 Summer Hill Drive and member of the Southwest
Light Rail Transit Advisory Committee, stated he applauds the project and would
like to see it get approved.
Farr said in regards to parking, there may be a demand for reserve parking signs and
he would like this thought out prior to construction versus being an afterthought. In
regards to service parking, perhaps they could be color coded to show what retail
areas they may belong to. Farr stated the project proponent did a great job on
façade design but he would like a main identifier for the entrance to the apartment
unit. He also asked, in regards to the parking ramp, that previously has been a focal
point and now it will be hidden by this project; has there been a concern regarding
signage by the Southwest Station. Klima said signage for the transit services will
be addressed with the SWLRT project. Farr said overall, this is a great project.
Kirk concurred with Farr and commented the project blends in with the City’s
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
July 10, 2017
Page 5
vision. Freiberg concurred and said it was a great project for the City. Klima stated
if this project moves forward this evening she recommends language addressing
park dedication payments be added to the motion.
Villareal commented he would like to see electrical vehicle chargers set up on this
project. Farr said he would like to build on that concern because there will be a
demand for these in the future. Mr. Carlston said in Martin Blu they did put in two
stalls and currently they are not being used.
Chair Pieper stated he is in favor of this project.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Villareal, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 7-0.

Kirk had a change on page 3, paragraph 6, first sentence. He would like it to read,
“Kirk stated this project is intriguing because the area has historically had parking
and traffic flow problems and asked what has been discussed on this issue.”
Farr said in regards to the discussion on the designation of the TOD zoning
district and what it would be zoned to, he said the three options discussed were
TOD-R, TOD-MU, and TOD-E. He would like this added to the record that he
and Commissioner Weber thought the TOD-MU would be more appropriate than
TOD-R, which staff recommends and that Staff gave adequate answers to support
TOD-R. Klima commented that TOD-MU and TOD-R are very similar in
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
July 24, 2017
Page 2
performance standards. The intention behind TOD-R is because there is more of
a significant impact with the residential use than mixed use.
DeSanctis would like the comments he provided on July 10, 2017 added to the
minutes in regards to linkage between the park and retail centers to the south and
east and the property development.
MOTION: Weber moved, seconded by Kirk, to table approving the minutes
until the next Planning Commission Meeting. Motion carried 8-0.
V. INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS
VI. PUBLIC MEETINGS
VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. CODE AMENDMENT RELATED TO PARKS ZONING DISTRICT
Request to:
• Amend City Code, Chapter 11 relating to Parks Zoning District
Klima stated this is an amendment to create a Park Zoning District. The
Comprehensive Guide Plan adopted in 2009 includes a land use category for
Parks/Open Space. State law requires zoning to conform to the guide plan. The
properties that are designated as Park/Open Space in the 2009 Comprehensive Plan
are currently zoned a variety of different zoning districts including Rural, Public,
Gen, Office and Commercial. Staff has been working to create a Park Zoning
District and regulations that would establish permitted uses, setbacks, parking lot
design standards, architectural standards and other standards for properties zoned to
Park. The standards as proposed will create a few non conformities. In order to
eliminate those, the City anticipates the potential for requesting variances for those
specific situations when a specific property is rezoned to the Park District. A
similar approach was used when schools were rezoned to the Public District. The
draft language has been reviewed by the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources
Commission. The Commission expressed its support for the draft ordinance. It has
also been reviewed by the Community Development Director, the Parks and
Recreation Director, the Parks and Natural Resources Manager and the City
Attorney. Provided the Park District language is adopted, the next step would be to
begin rezoning properties to Park. The adoption of these amendments does not
impact specific properties until such time as the properties are rezoned. The
rezoning of properties will require a public process. Staff recommendation is for
approval.
Farr asked Klima to address the non-conformities that was mentioned in the staff
report. Klima said Staff worked to have a limited amount of non-conformities. As
part of creation of the districts an inventory was done to address performance
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
July 24, 2017
Page 3
standards such as parking lot setbacks, building heights and landscaping. Klima
stated there have been a few times the language has been drafted to accommodate
standards being applied moving forward for new or expansion projects.
Freiberg asked Klima why there are so many different zonings for existing parks.
Klima said the park system has been created over decades and with so many new
properties developed over time there has been a need to create more parks within
those areas and respective zoning districts. Therefore, the City needs to address
Park Districts.
Wuttke asked if Park District is exempt from some requirements and then setting
them forth in others, such as parking lot setbacks. Klima said the draft language is
split up into two different sections. Pages 1-4 include the text language specific for
Park District. Pages 5-9 contain changes that have been made intermittently
throughout the zoning ordinance. This is done to make sure the zoning ordinance
references are consistent and include the parks ordinance.
Farr commented the lighting issues talk about glare from illumination standards and
directs you to 11.XX and asked if that is more or less in the body of the first two
pages. Klima said it is referring back to the same standard and once that section of
the ordinance is identified as to where Park District is included in the City Code the
XX will be updated to reflect the appropriate section numbers. Farr commented
that once this standard is established, then no lighting will be leaving the parking
lot. Klima stated that statement is correct.
Chair Pieper opened the meeting up for public input. There was no input.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Freiberg, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 8-0.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Freiberg, to recommend approval of the
amendment of the City Code, Chapter 11, related to Parks Zoning District based on

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Angie Perera, Planner I
DATE: August 14, 2017
SUBJECT: Eden Prairie Assembly of God Church
LOCATION: 16591 Duck Lake Trail
APPLICANT: Station 19 Architects
OWNER: Eden Prairie Assembly of God
120 DAY REVIEW: November 4, 2017
REQUEST: 1. Planned Unit Development Amendment on 10.06 acres
2. Site Plan Review on 10.06 acres
BACKGROUND
The property is located at 16591 Duck Lake Trail, on the northeast side of Duck Lake and west of
Eden Prairie Road. The property 10.06 acres in size. The existing church building and site conditions
were approved in 1979 through a Site Plan, a PUD and a variance that allowed the existing site and
building design including the use of wood and stucco exterior building materials.
The property is zoned as Public and the land use is guided as Church/Cemetery. The existing and
proposed use of the property as a church conforms with both the zoning and guided land use
designations. The surrounding properties are primarily guided R1-13.5 Single-Family Residential.
One parcel north of the site is guided Public and includes a city park. Surrounding properties are
zoned Rural, R1-9.5 and R1-13.5 Single-Family Residential, and Public.
SITE PLAN & PUD AMENDMENT
The existing building is 22,292 square feet and the proposed project includes the construction of a
12,423 square foot, one and two story addition and a 4,270 square foot remodel of the main and
lower level of the existing building. The total gross square footage after the remodel and addition
will be 34,715 on two levels.
The proposed addition includes eight classrooms (three on the lower level and five on the main level)
of various sizes for education use on Sunday mornings and weekday evenings during regular worship
hours and times. The addition also includes an expansion of the lobby space to allow for additional
gathering space before and after worship, to provide improved circulation to the lower level, the
Staff Report – Eden Prairie Assembly of God Church
August 11, 2017

addition of restrooms on the lower level (three individual restrooms for the smaller classrooms), and
an identifiable main entry into the building.
The existing building and site are consistent with Site Plan and PUD approvals as originally
approved in 1979. The addition proposed with this application also complies with City Code
regulations.
ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
The proposed addition meets the requirements for Class I and Class II exterior materials per façade.
The proposed building materials include a variety of textures and colors that will be provided on a
sample board that will be available for viewing at the Planning Commission meeting. Screening of
the rooftop mechanical will be consistent with City Code requirements. The project also includes
variation in vertical offset (cornice line), variations in roof pitch (vaulted roof at the lobby), and
building articulations in depth of the building façade. The height of the proposed addition is 27 feet,
which will comply with the maximum height requirements of the City Code.
GRADING / DRAINAGE & UTILITIES
Runoff from the parking lot currently sheet drains to the southeast corner of the parking lot where it
then drains into a grassed swale that drains down towards Eden Prairie Rd and then finally north to a
culvert at the southwest corner of Eden Prairie Rd and Duck Lake Trail. This project proposes that
part of the upland adjacent to the parking lot will need to be graded for an infiltration basin that will
be located in the southeast corner of the site. The remaining grassed swale along Eden Prairie Rd will
remain and provide additional filtering/treatment of the runoff. The proposed grading plan minimizes
the disturbed areas and preserves the natural vegetation along the westerly and southerly boundaries.
Utility connections to water and sanitary sewer will be constructed privately and will occur on the
north side of the site. The applicant has indicated that access to South Manor Road (which is the
primary access to the residential neighborhood north of the church) will be maintained at all times
during the installation of the utilities.
Request for early release of permits
The applicant has submitted a request for consideration to allow early release of Land Alteration and
Footing and Foundation Permits. The applicant has expressed that they would like to get utilities
installed before November 1, 2017, since most asphalt businesses close in the fall. They would also
like to get footings and foundations installed before the ground freezes. Early release of these permits
would help facilitate the construction of the project in a timely manner.
LANDSCAPE PLAN
The proposed project will require the removal of six existing trees onsite to help facilitate the
installation of a new concrete sidewalk and to accommodate the building addition. No tree
replacement is required with this application since the proposed removals of Significant and Heritage
Staff Report – Eden Prairie Assembly of God Church
August 11, 2017
3
Trees will be less than 10%. The application does include a landscaping plan, which includes the
addition of trees and shrubs on the north, and east sides of the addition, which will exceed the
landscape and screening requirements of the City Code.
PARKING & ACCESS
The access to the property is from Duck Lake Trail, on the north side of the site. The existing parking
lot is screened from the abutting residential zones with existing landscape on the north, west, and
south sides of the site. The site plan includes 187 parking spaces including 11 accessible spaces,
meeting City Code requirements. The church has indicated that it will typically have a couple of
large, special events per year where in the past it has rented the high school parking areas to provide
additional or overflow parking.
The existing parking lot design and trash enclosure are non-conforming with the City Code due to
recent City Code amendments related to Design Standards. Expansion or improvements of the
parking lot is not being proposed at this time but it is anticipated to occur during a potential future
expansion of the worship center. Staff is recommending that language be included within the
Development Agreement to address the timing and an implementation plan for non-conforming
items with future projects.
SIDEWALKS & TRAILS
There is an existing trail on the east side of the property along Eden Prairie Road. The church will
file an easement for the portion of the bituminous trail that was constructed the west side of Duck
Lake Trail, in the northeast corner of their property. The site plan also includes the addition of a six-
foot concrete sidewalk along the north side of the building and the addition of two bike racks (that
can accommodate up to 24 bikes). A four-foot wide concrete sidewalk will also be included on the
north side of the site which will extend to Duck Lake Trail, and another four-foot wide concrete
sidewalk will be added to the south site of the building, connecting to the sidewalk along the front
(west side) of the building. The addition of the new sidewalks will provide pedestrian connectivity to
the site.
LIGHTING
Existing site lighting is proposed to remain the same. New lighting is proposed on the exterior
walls of the building at egress doors to comply with code requirements.
SIGNS
The application includes the addition of wall signage on the exterior of the building. All new signage
will require review and approval of a sign permit in compliance with regulations of the City Code.
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
The applicant has indicated that a neighborhood meeting was held on May 11, 2017. One resident
attended the neighborhood meeting and had general questions related to the project. Pastor Perrin
Staff Report – Eden Prairie Assembly of God Church
August 11, 2017

also sent a follow-up letter dated 7/7/17 to neighborhood residents. The letter provided an update on
the status of the church’s application and explained how the project has been scaled back due to
associated costs that were unknown at the time of original neighborhood meeting that was held in
May.
