The property is the site of the former Sears store at Eden Prairie Center. The existing
building has been vacant for approximately 1 year. In addition to the construction of new
retail space, the project includes improvements the parking area to the west and north of the
proposed Scheels store. These proposed improvements are in response to the recently
adopted Design Guidelines and associated City Code requirements.
PUD waivers are being requested for building height, signage, lighting, landscape island
spacing and parking stall length. The project also proposes a number of elements that
exceed City Code requirements that provide benefit and helps off set the waivers requested.
These elements include bicycle parking, public education and art, landscaping, and
sustainable features.
Staff recommends approval.

A. CODE AMENDMENT- SELF STORAGE FACILITIES (CONT. ITEM)
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
October 23, 2017
Page 2
Request to:
• Amend City Code, Chapter 11 related to self-storage facilities.
Klima said this is a continued item from the September 11, 2017 Planning
Commission meeting. City Staff has provided additional information in the staff
report in regards to zoning districts, architectural standards/process, and economics.
The zoning districts were broken down with these three in the industrial districts; I-
GEN – 57.3 acres, I-5 – 373.4 acres, I-2 – 897.8 acres. The Commercial Districts
(excluding TOD/TC) are on 644.1 acres for a total of 1,328.5 acres. The current
self-storage facilities in Eden Prairie provide 2000 units on 19.95 acres. In the
Industrial and Commercial districts, buildings are required to have 75% Class I
material and 25% Class II materials. According to on-line research the self-storage
industry standard is to have secured property and secured access generally by
electronic means. Eden Prairie’s City Code does not utilize Conditional Use
Permits but historically have used the Planned Unit Development process and
Development Agreements to accomplish similar goals and outcomes. Staff
recommendation is for approval of this amendment.
Freiberg addressed the letter in the packet from Robert Hellman and said the
comment of making the four existing storage properties non-conforming will affect
the possibility of expansion in the future as well as the ability to refinance, insure,
rebuild after a calamity, and remodel the properties. Freiberg pointed out this could
be a road block for storage facilities. Klima said if the code amendment were to be
approved, the existing uses would become non-conforming and would be able to be
maintained but not to be able to expand. In regards to refinancing, the financial
institution would reach out to the City for a zoning verification letter. Freiberg
asked about insurability. Klima said the City would also issue a zoning verification
letter. Chair Pieper asked if these units could be sold. Klima said these units could
be sold. Farr asked if refinancing and insuring would be more expensive for non-
conforming uses. Klima said she cannot answer that question as the City does not
specifically get involved in that.
Chair Pieper asked if the Commission talked about architectural standards at the last
meeting. Farr said he recalled the discussion was some of the Commissioners
thought the units would be considered more of a commercial use than an industrial
use. He said in regards to a public safety point, the Commercial district would
provide increased safety due to lighting and a more populated area. He said he can
understand the City’s position on this but is torn why this is getting pushed towards
a district that is generally used after hours. Higgins said when she lived in
Minneapolis there was a storage facility located around the Hiawatha area and
activity seemed to be not only between 8 am – 5 pm, but after hours and pointed out
that being on a busy street would make it safer after hours. Freiberg commented
when looking at what the City has for acreage for Commercial districts it is 644
acres, which is not much. In looking at the other three districts there is 1328 acres.
Because of the low acreage, the highest and best use of acreage for Commercial
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
October 23, 2017
Page 3
districts is very important. Klima said the industry standard is to have a secure
access to these storage units for the customer so they have safe access in and out of
the facility.
Farr said this whole industry is evolving and is evident with one of the four storage
facilities across from Home Depot. He said they are looking for well-lit, well-
traveled sites. He pointed out if there is a demand for these facilities they would
likely not be pushed into the I-Gen District. The I-2 District looks to be generous
and may be an option for new facilities. He asked if two of the facilities are located
in the Golden Triangle area. Klima said two facilities are in the Golden Triangle
area. Farr responded by stating there is plenty of room there for everyone. Chair
Pieper asked Farr to expand on that.
Farr stated because I-Gen is too limiting he would like to see I-2 added to the I-Gen
districts for permitted use or to establish conditional use permits as other cities have
done. Chair Pieper asked Klima how Staff arrived at recommending I-Gen and if
there was a discussion whether I-2 or I-5 would be included. Klima referred to the
graphics that were attached in the staff report, noting the I-2 and I-5, primarily I-2,
because there are a lot more properties zoned this, are areas the City expects more
re-development and re-investing in those properties. Self-storage units are more of a
low intensity use with regards to employment and other features; there is not a lot of
pedestrian connection or activity associated with self-storage facilities. The City’s
vision for the Golden Triangle area is for it to be a more vibrant, active area.
Villarreal said he agrees with what Farr said about markets and feels the
Commission cannot really discuss the need for these facilities today and lumping
them in a small box is limiting. He is comfortable expanding these units past I-Gen.
Chair Pieper asked if Villarreal would like I-2, I-5 and the Commercial districts
added in. Villarreal said he is not comfortable limiting the potential to just certain
areas of the City, it should be based on the need of residential or commercial
customers.
Freiberg commented the City has a finite amount of land and when the light rail
comes through, there may pressures regarding affordable housing. He pointed out
the City is way off of where it should be for affordable housing for the needs in
2020 and said if the City limits itself with land available for redevelopment, the
Commission’s decisions are going to get tougher and tougher down the road.
DeSanctis said the idea of vertical structures having their own storage units
included maybe is something the City can require of potential developers. He
agrees the City has a limited amount of land to be re-developed and does not want
the self-storage facility to get in the way of affordable housing. Chair Pieper asked
Freiberg if he sees affordable housing being built in the I-2 or I-5 district. Freiberg
said he was looking at the I-2 district, there are 897 acres in the Golden Triangle
area. The I-Gen and I-5 are of less importance because there would be some
flexibility retained.

Farr commented in regard to the Commissioner DeSanctis’ point, the lower income
housing solutions and smaller units Eden Prairie will be building in the future will
be pressured to minimize things like storage units for residents just because of
market pressures. Farr said the demand for self-storage will be going up versus
down and residents would want the facilities closer to where they live. It would be
difficult to regulate the amount of storage built into vertical residential projects, as
there would be push back from the developers. Self-storage facilities will be market
driven.
Chair Pieper commented he believes this use is typically driven to lower costs of
land rather than to TOD areas
Chair Pieper opened the meeting up for public input. There was no input.
Farr said he would like to discuss alternatives for action on this item.
MOTION: Villarreal moved, seconded by DeSanctis, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 6-0.
Klima said, in regards to alternatives, listed in the staff report is recommendation
for the approval for the text amendment as presented. The Commission can
recommend an alternative to the City Council. Chair Pieper asked if the Planning
Commission did not approve this code amendment would it still go to City Council.
Klima said if the Planning Commission recommended denial, it would still move
forward to the City Council for their review.
Farr asked if this code amendment goes through tonight, what would happen if an
applicant would like to develop a self-storage facility in a Commercial district what
would be the process for this applicant to get this project approved in a district that
does not have an approved use. Klima asked clarification if the scenario proposed
is if the code amendment is approved as presented by Staff. Farr stated that was
correct. Klima said if Staff receives an inquiry for property that is zoned
commercial staff would educate the applicant that it is not an approved use in
Commercial districts but are in the I-Gen district and Staff would educate them
where those properties are located. If a potential applicant still wanted to pursue
that location, they would put in a request in a form of a text amendment to allow the
use in a Commercial district.
Farr questioned if that would be a variance request. Klima responded a variance
request is applicable when the use is allowed by code but the standards cannot be
reasonably met.
Farr said in regards to recommendation for denial, he would like to discuss if that is
what the Commission would want to move forward with or if there are additional
thoughts. He said he is in favor of denial and hopeful this could be allowed in other
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES

districts. Chair Pieper asked if he is proposing making a recommendation to Staff.
Farr said he would like to see what other Commissioners are thinking. He
commented he is not sure if this is opened up to other zoning districts how much
direction should be provided or if the Commission would have to get in depth about
other Commercial districts and feels the Commission is not in a position to do that
right now. It may be easier to chip into the I-2 district. Klima said there is nothing
to prevent the Planning Commission from making a recommendation to the City
Council in regards to what the Planning Commission would support.
Klima said there are three options the Planning Commission could move on tonight.
There could be approval with modifications, approval as Staff recommended, or
denial.
Freiberg stated he would go along with I-Gen and I-5, but he believes including the
I-2 district could come back and haunt the City. He clarified he is in favor of
excluding I-2 and approve I-Gen and I-5. DeSanctis said he approves I-Gen and I-5
as well. Villarreal said his preference would be to include I-Gen, I-5, I-2 and
Commercial districts. Higgins said I-Gen and I-5 would be what she would
approve.
DeSanctis asked, in respect to the Commercial Zoning districts, if a developer
comes along and wants to develop a facility nested in a larger structure does that
fall within this ordinance or is that a separate variance. If you extent self-storage to
a commercial zoned area it would be a second use within that residential area.
Klima said in Commercial districts, residential uses are not permitted uses within
those zoning districts, so she would not envision a scenario where an apartment
facility had a commercial storage facility nested within it. Any storage facility
would be a resident amenity in that case.
Villarreal asked if there was a mixed-use facility what gets determined if it is
residential or commercial. Klima said if there is a vertically mixed-use project they
would take a look at the zoning districts that they have to regulate them, like TOD
or the Town Center district and look at the comprehensive plan and work with the
developer as to which zoning district would fit the need of the project. Villarreal
asked if a mixed-use residential/commercial development that was mostly
commercial, how it would work if the storage facility would be inside of the
building and asked if it would be allowed. Klima said what is presented tonight is
to address third party storage facilities and not storage facilities provided as an
amenity within a residential project.
Chair Pieper asked what direction Villarreal is leaning towards. Villarreal said his
preference would be to have storage areas be applicable to I-Gen, I-2, I-5 and
commercial. Farr said he agrees with Villarreal because of the evolution of product
and demand for residents. Chair Pieper said he would like to see the market dictate
this. Chair Pieper asked what happens if there is a tie. Klima stated if a motion and
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
October 23, 2017
Page 6
vote should be taken now and if it is a tie, that motion does not pass. The
Commission could try an alternative motion to see if it does pass or a tie can be
forwarded to City Council with explanation.
MOTION: Villarreal moved, seconded by Farr, to recommend approval of the
amendment of the City Code, Chapter 11, related to self-storage facilities based on
information included in the staff reports dated September 6, 2017 and its
attachments and October 18, 2017 and its attachments, with additional
recommendation to include self-storage in districts I-Gen, I-2, I-5 and Commercial.
Motion carried 4-2, with Freiberg and Higgins opposing.
B. CODE AMENDMENT- CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS
Request to:
• Amend City Code, Chapter 11 related to conditional use permits.
Klima stated back in May of 2017, the Minnesota State Legislature adopted a state
law relating to siting of small wireless telecommunication facilities in public rights-
of-way. The new law grants wireless providers the ability to locate their facilities
as a permitted use in the right-or-way, except that a City may require a conditional
use permit to install structures in single family residential zoning districts. Because
this is a new provision in the state law, the Zoning Ordinance needs to be amended
to align with the new State regulations. City Staff has worked with the City
Attorney to draft the code amendments that are included in the staff report. The
proposed code amendments include revisions to the following:
• Section 11.02 (Definitions) to align City Code definitions with those used in
state law regarding wireless communication services and equipment;
• Section 11.03, Subd.3 (Special Requirements) and Subd. 6 (Site Plan and
Architectural Design Review) to include references to wireless services;
• Section 11.06 (Towers and Antennas) to clarify that facilities may be subject
to review of a Conditional Use Permit; and
• Section 11.41 (Conditional Use permits) to establish wireless support
structures as a conditional use and eliminate Major Center Area as a
conditional use category. The Major Center Area conditional use permit
category was established to address the transition of uses from residential to
those consistent with the Major Center Area plan. Due to development that
has occurred over time within the designated areas, the provision for Major
Center Area CUP’s is no longer applicable and staff proposes to strike the
correspond language. Section 11.41 also includes housekeeping
amendments to address the duration of conditional use permits. Current
language provides for an approval period of 5 years. The proposed language
allows for conditional use permits to remain in effect so long as the
conditions of approval are adhered to and provides for the opportunity for
the City to review as necessary. Staff recommendation is for approval.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
October 23, 2017

Higgins asked if the City has heard from wireless companies. Klima said no
specific applications have come in.
Farr asked if the towers can be shared and if the City is promoting that. Klima said
the City does encourage colocation.
Villarreal asked if removal of references for telecommunication services would
create a risk to expand services to other public utilities, like Xcel or CenterPoint
Energy. Klima said Staff had that conversation with the City Attorney and their
recommendation is that the City is adequately protected by term wireless. Villarreal
commented he sees a gap with that. Klima said City Staff can reach back to the
City Attorney with concerns.
Farr said he had a question on page 40, Subd. 3, paragraph B, titled Wireless
Support Structures, Subd. 1, and asked what is a public utility structure. He also
stated, in regards to Subd. 5, this could be challenging for buildings that produce a
lot of heat and would like condensers on ground level. Klima said the City only has
the right to regulate the uses through CUP’s in the R1 Districts. In Subd. 1, the City
is just limiting the amount of facilities within these areas to address aesthetics.
Klima said public utility structures are defined as a pole or structure for
transmission of data or electricity.
Rue said the technology for small cell wireless is different. They are very small and
located in a small canister and located about every thousand feet to fill in for the
large towers. They are located on city street lights. The City’s existing ordinances
do have size requirements and these are secondary to the large towers. Villarreal
asked how these support structures are powered. Rue said they are wired directly
with a meter running up the pole. Villarreal asked if there is a backup need for
these structures if the power goes out. Rue said he is not exactly sure how they are
powered and cannot answer the backup question. Klima said staff can follow up
further on this issue.
Chair Pieper opened the meeting up for public input. There was no input.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Freiberg, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 6-0.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by DeSanctis, to recommend approval to amend
City Code, Chapter 11, related to Conditional Use Permits and wireless facilities
based on the information included in the staff report dated October 19, 2017 and its
attachments. Motion carried 6-0.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Julie Klima, City Planner
DATE: November 9, 2017
PROJECT: Scheels (Sears Redevelopment)
LOCATION: 8301 Flying Cloud Drive
APPLICANT: CAPREF Eden Prairie South LLC
OWNER: CAPREF Eden Prairie South LLC
120 DAY REVIEW: February 12, 2018
REQUEST:
1. Planned Unit Development Concept Review on approximately 20
acres
2. Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on
approximately 20 acres
3. Site Plan Review on approximately 20 acres
BACKGROUND
The property is the site of the former Sears store at Eden Prairie Center. This is one of 4 anchor
tenant spaces at Eden Prairie Center. Following the closure of the Sears store, Eden Prairie
Center ownership acquired the property and began planning for its redevelopment. Several
alternatives were explored, including multi-tenant retail, anchor tenant retail, and the
incorporation of alternative uses such multi-family residential, office or hotel uses. Ultimately,
the property was selected by Scheels for the construction of one of its flagship stores as a new
anchor tenant space.
The former Sears space was approximately 212,000 square feet in size including the automotive
center. The proposed Scheels construction plans to salvage some of the existing building
(approximately 97,000 square feet) and to construct new building space for a total building area
of approximately 248,000 square feet. The existing building has been vacant for approximately
1 year. In addition to the construction of new retail space, the project includes improvements
the parking area to the west and north of the proposed Scheels store. These proposed
improvements are in response to the recently adopted Design Guidelines and associated City
Code requirements. The parking lot improvements include installing landscape islands that
break up the expanses of parking area; installing landscaping to screen the parking lot from
public rights-of-way; and providing pedestrian corridors through the parking areas to the
building. The proposal also includes site amenities and design features that exceed City Code
Staff Report – Scheels (Sears Redevelopment)
November 9, 2017
Page 2
requirements and are reflected in the City’s Design Guidelines. These items are discussed in
further detail in this memo. The property owner has indicated a desire to begin construction in
early 2018 in order to accommodate a September 2019 opening.
The Comprehensive Plan currently guides the property as Regional Commercial. Surrounding
properties are guided Regional Commercial, Community Commercial and High Density
Residential. Consistent with its previous development, the property is currently zoned Regional
Commercial (C-Reg). The surrounding properties are zoned Commercial Regional Service
(Com-Reg-Ser), Regional Commercial (C-Reg), Public (PUB) and Multi-Family Residential
(RM-2.5). The proposed retail use is consistent with the adopted guiding and zoning for the
property.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
The purpose of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) as stated in the City Code is to provide for a
more creative and efficient approach to the use of land within the City; to allow variety in the
types of environment available to people and distribution of overall density of population and
intensity of land use where desirable and feasible; and provide for greater creativity and
flexibility in environmental design. As a part of the PUD process, the applicant is seeking
waivers to City Code requirements as outlined below.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS
The following waivers are requested:
1. Building Height. City Code requires a maximum building height of 40 feet. The
building, as proposed, has a building height of 66 feet 11 inches by City Code
definition. The City Code definition calculates building height based on the mid-
point of a pitched roof. The highest point of the pitched roof is 83 feet 6 inches. The
pitched roof comprises 18% of the overall roof area. The proposed design also
includes parapets of various heights ranging from 44 feet to approximately 56 feet.
The additional building height is requested to accommodate the design of the Scheels
flagship store. Flagship stores include a ferris wheel within the store, necessitating
additional height beyond what is provided by City Code. The parapets are proposed
in order to screen mechanical roof equipment and to meet the architectural details
provided in the Design Guidelines. The building height of the proposed building is
consistent with the character of the existing development and previous waivers for
building height.
2. Signage. City Code requires a maximum of 300 square feet of signage per wall. In
this case, the Scheels building would be allowed a total of 900 square feet of signage
(300 sq. ft. per each of the 3 facades). The signage proposed includes 300 sq. feet of
signage on the northwest (facing Regional Center Road) and 214 sq. ft. on southeast
(nearest the Food Court entrance ) facades. Both of these signs would meet City
Code requirements. The wall signage proposed on the southwest building elevation
Staff Report – Scheels (Sears Redevelopment)
November 9, 2017
Page 3
(the façade with the primary exterior entrance to Scheels) is proposed to include a 300
sq. ft. wall sign and a 77 sq. ft sign over the primary entrance. This wall would
exceed the 300 sq. ft. requirement by 77 feet. However, with 891 total sq. ft. of wall
signage, the overall total signage would remain less than what is permissible by City
Code (900 sq. ft.). Through the review process, staff worked with the applicant to
reduce the size of signage that was originally proposed. The redistribution of
allowable signage is consistent with previous waivers that have been granted at Eden
Prairie Center.
3. Lighting. City Code requires light pole height to not exceed 25 feet and that light
poles shall be located within parking islands in parking areas. The proposed plan
includes the reuse of existing light poles and the addition of new light poles. The new
poles will be of the same make/model as the existing poles in order to provide
consistency within the site. The height of existing and proposed light poles is 50 feet
(44 feet above grade). New pole locations are proposed within islands where
feasible. There are currently 22 light poles on site, 9 in islands and 11 outside of
islands (40% in islands meeting code requirement). The proposed condition provides
for 35 light poles on site with 23 in islands and 12 outside of islands (66% in islands
meeting code requirement). The proposed waiver allows for a notable increase in
compliance when considering that the proposed plan is working to retrofit recently
adopted standards into an existing condition while maintaining light levels to be
consistent with industry standards for security purposes.
4. Landscaping Island Spacing. City Code requires that landscaping islands, with a
minimum size of 160 square feet, be located every 20 spaces within parking areas and
at the end of drive aisles. The applicant is proposing an alternative design that does
provide for landscape islands to be incorporated into the parking area however, rather
than placing the islands every 20 parking spaces, the islands are designed to provide
pedestrian connections through the parking area.
In its existing condition, the parking area does not have any parking islands within the
parking rows. Landscape islands are only currently located at the ends of drive aisles.
If islands were provided consistent with Code requirements, 47,261 (7.3% of the
parking area) square feet of area would be included in islands. Under the proposed
condition, 64,851 (10% of the parking area) square feet of area is provided in islands,
exceeding the minimum that would be required by City Code. The proposed
condition also allows for the parking island areas to serve as pedestrian connections
from the perimeter of the parking area to the mall area. The proposed waiver allows
for increased pedestrian connections within the site and from adjacent properties;
maintains City and private parking requirements; and provides opportunity to retrofit
this design feature into an existing parking field.
5. Parking Stall Length. City Code requires parking stalls to be 19 feet in length. The
applicant is requesting a waiver to allow parking stalls 18 feet in length along 2 of the
pedestrian medians proposed within the parking lot. These particular medians are
proposed in order to provide for protected pedestrian corridors through the parking
area. Approval of the waiver request in these specified locations would allow for the
Staff Report – Scheels (Sears Redevelopment)
November 9, 2017
Page 4
ability to maintain an appropriate clear area for pedestrian movements on the median
while maintaining the required parking stall count. An 18 foot parking stall is
functional.
The project also proposes a number of elements that exceed City Code requirements that provide
benefit and helps off set the waivers requested. These elements include:
1. Bicycle Parking: This project includes the provision of bike parking. The bike parking
can accommodate customer and employee parking. In addition, shower facilities will be
provided for employees to further encourage alternative transportation to the store.
2. Public Education & Art: The applicant proposes to expand the entry area of the Mall
near the northwest façade of Scheels. The expansion will further activate this area and
includes creating a native and pollinator planting area. This area will serve as an
educational opportunity including interpretive signage. In addition, potential locations
for a future public art piece are identified. Staff recommends that the Development
Agreement include language regarding the public art and native/pollinator planting area,
including, but not limited to, selection process and timing of installation.
3. Landscaping. The proposed landscaping exceeds City Code requirements through the
number of plants provided, as well as, incorporating variety to enhance the site and
inclusion of native and pollinator species to positively impact the environment consistent
with the City’s Design Guidelines.
4. Sustainable Features. Sustainable features proposed include bike racks, water reuse
systems, native plant species, all LED lighting, indoor finishes to increase efficiencies of
mechanical systems, and building material reuse.
SITE PLAN
• PARKING
The project proposes surface parking. Previous PUD approvals at Eden Prairie Center establish
parking requirements at 4.5 parking stalls for every 1,000 square feet of gross leasable area. In
addition, private agreements exist between Mall ownership and other property owners such as
Target and Kohls that require Mall ownership to provide 4.5 parking stalls per 1,000 square feet
of gross leasable area for the overall site. The proposed plan meets the parking required. Staff
recommends that the Development Agreement contain language that the mezzanine area
currently provided as storage space in the Scheels store be maintained as storage area rather than
converting to retail space in order to maintain the parking requirements for the site.
• SITE AMENITIES
The proposal includes multiple site amenities to create an attractive design and to enhance the
pedestrian experience. Pedestrian lighting is provided along the sidewalk and plaza areas
adjoining the proposed Scheels building. Staff is recommending that bollards be included in the
plans along the sidewalk areas for enhanced definition of the pedestrian areas. The plan also
includes benches and seatwalls within the pedestrian areas, sculptures of people engaged in

sporting activities, and statues of past Presidents. The applicant proposes to expand the entry
area of the Mall along the northwest façade of Scheels. This expansion includes creating a
native and pollinator planting area that will serve as an educational opportunity including
interpretive signage. In addition, potential locations for a future public art piece are identified in
this area. The plans also provide for surface materials and design features to enhance the
sidewalk and pedestrian areas. The applicant is continuing to work with staff to further define
these elements and staff recommends that these details be provided prior to City Council review.
• TRAFFIC
A traffic study was completed for the proposed development. The traffic study indicated overall
acceptable operations at each of the study intersections in the existing and proposed conditions.
Some increase in vehicle delays at the study intersections will result due to the increase in
development traffic, however the study intersections will continue to operate at acceptable levels.
The traffic study also reviewed the potential for a traffic signal at Prairie Center Drive and Franlo
Road. The conclusion of this review was that while a traffic signal at this location would provide
access and operational benefits, the warrants for its installation are not projected to be met and its
installation is not necessary to maintain acceptable traffic operations. Therefore, no traffic signal
is planned for this intersection at this time.
Pedestrian access and internal site circulation was a major focus of the project review. As a
result, the project includes enhanced pedestrian connections to Eden Prairie Center from
Preserve Boulevard, Franlo Road, and the Tower Square Retail Center. The plans currently
includes median refuge islands for crossing the mall ring road at Franlo Road and Preserve Blvd.
Staff has some questions about how these will accommodate turning vehicles and some design
modifications may be necessary. In addition, the plan includes a redesign of the parking fields
between Regional Center Road and Preserve Boulevard, which include the elimination of several
challenging access points to the mall ring road in close proximity to Preserve Boulevard.
• STORMWATER
Stormwater treatment is provided utilizing several Stormwater Best Management Practices
(BMPs). The proposed BMPs include underground filtration structures below the parking lot and
a reuse system designed to further reduce the volume leaving the site by repurposing stormwater
for irrigation and non-potable water within the building. The proposed plans meet the
requirements of the City, as well as the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District
(RPBCWD).
The applicant continues to work with the staff on details related to the BMP design particulars. A
land alteration permit will be required prior to grading to ensure that temporary BMPs are in
place to prevent construction related erosion and sediment loss.

• SIGNS
All sign permits will require review and approval through the sign permit process. Through the
PUD process, the applicant is seeking a waiver to allow redistribution of the overall allowable
signage as depicted in the plans. If this waiver is approved, a sign permit will be reviewed
subject to the City’s standard review process for these signs.
• SITE LIGHTING
The photometric plan submitted by the applicant is unclear if the 0.5 footcandle requirement at
the property lines is met. Staff recommends that a compliant photometric plan be submitted to
the City prior to review by the City Council.
• LANDSCAPING PLAN
The proposed landscaping plan for the site is robust. The plan exceeds the landscaping
requirement by 122 caliper inches. The proposed landscaping will be a considerable
improvement over what is currently on the site. In addition to the trees, the applicant is proposing
shrubs, perennials and ornamental grasses. Landscaping is being proposed in parking lot islands
and along the pedestrian connections through the parking lot to provide screening, shade and
soften a very large area of pavement. Along the building foundation, at the main entrance to the
store, and along the walkway to the mall entrance, there is a variety of plant material that
enhances the appeal of the building, accentuates the main entrance, complements the sculptures
outside the building, and enhances the customer’s experience of the outdoor spaces and seating
areas. The species diversity will provide year-round interest with foliage color, flower color and
time of bloom, and branching structure. A significant percentage of the plant species are native
and pollinator friendly. The species chosen are appropriate for the proposed environment. As
with all development projects, City staff will continue to work with the applicant to identify
species appropriate for the site and suitable locations for those species.
• ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS/BUILDING MATERIALS
The proposal complies with the City Code requirements for Class I and Class II exterior
materials per façade. The exterior building materials include the preferred materials of brick,
stone and glass along with the use of a complimentary and contrasting color palette. The project
also includes roofline and wall deviations and articulations as required by City Code and
provided for in the City’s Design Guidelines. Pedestrian level treatments such as canopies and
lighting are also proposed as depicted in the architectural plans. Materials that include a variety
of textures and colors are provided and a sample board of building materials will be available for
viewing at the Planning Commission meeting.

• LAND USES
Early conversations with the property owner included discussion of the incorporation of
alternative land uses within the site, such as, multi-family residential, office, and/or hotel uses.
These types of uses would create a synergy with the scale of commercial development that exists
with Eden Prairie Center. While ultimately these uses were not included in the development
proposal, City staff recommends that language be included in the Development Agreement that
would provide for alternative land uses to be incorporated into the site subject to further City
review and approval processes, market conditions and other appropriate factors.
• SUSTAINABLE FEATURES
The development includes the use of the following sustainable features:
1. Bike racks promoting alternative transportation methods;
2. Water reuse for site irrigation;
3. Native plant species in the landscaping to promote water conservation techniques;
4. All lighting will be LED;
5. Interior finishes to increase efficiencies of mechanical systems;
6. Building material reuse.
