PUBLIC HEARINGS ASPIRE EDEN PRAIRIE 2040—COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Klima presented a PowerPoint and gave an overview of the two-year history of the Plan update. The City pursued an energetic and dynamic community involvement effort including focus groups, technology such as interactive maps, outreach to specific community organizations, and a DIY meeting kit. In addition, an existing conditions PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 24, 2018 Page 2 analysis of the community and policies was done, and marketplace trends, past practices and policies, and the strategic plan informed the process. More detailed studies were completed to support housing, transportation and special area studies of Martin Drive and the Crosstown Industrial areas. The draft plan was available on the City's website for review and comment. The organizational structure of Aspire Eden Prairie 2040 was divided into two pieces: the plan chapters, which dealt with more traditional topics and the call-outs, which focused on local priorities: social equity and diversity, community health, and sustainable resiliency. These were also consistent themes in the focus groups and other feedback. Demographic changes (age, ethnicity, et cetera), community growth, maintaining Eden Prairie's image of high quality and robust economy, environmental sustainability were other consistent themes. In drafting the plan, the City and Houseal Lavigne drew from other resources, such as local and regional studies and plans in addition to the community feedback. The Eden Prairie Today chapter described where the City was in terms of these issues. The Eden Prairie Tomorrow Chapter was a vision statement incorporating feedback and data for a plan of responsive change. The Land Use chapter guided individual properties for development types. Mixed use, Flex Service, Industrial Flex Tech, and Eco- Innovation were new development categories. Commercial categories, revised density ranges for residential development, infill and specific development, and Transit Oriented Development (TOD) guides were also included. The Housing and Residential Areas chapter provided an overview of the existing housing inventory, affordability levels and product types that might be underrepresented and systems for improvement, housing implementation strategies, and draft Inclusionary Housing Policy recommendations. The Economic Competitiveness chapter identified economic drivers (retail, corporate headquarters, the industrial base), opportunity markers, and business development and growth strategies. John Houseal of Houseal Lavigne Associates presented the Transportation and Accessibility chapter, the Community Facilities chapter, the Parks and Open Space chapter, and the Water Resources and infrastructure chapter. The requirements of and edits by the Metropolitan Council helped inform the Transportation and Accessibility chapter with regard to additional text and graphics regarding roadways, cycling and walking, freight, and aviation. The Community Facilities chapter highlighted Eden Prairie's public facilities including police, fire, schools, library, heritage sites, and others to ensure all community members were appropriately and equitably served. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 24, 2018 Page 3 The Parks and Open Space chapter focused on the park-related amenities in Eden Prairie, which were a defining characteristic of the City, with the goal of creating a robust connectivity between them so that all Eden Prairie residents were equitably served. This supported the more detailed Parks Plan. The Water Resources and Infrastructure chapter was also being informed by the Metropolitan Council's edits to dovetail with the City's other cities' efforts. This included text and tables on the City's sewer system. Klima presented the Special Area Studies chapter which focused on two local areas: the Martin Drive Area and the Crosstown-Industrial Area south of Highway 62. These local studies examined the current uses, market realities, trends, and impacts of site features, and proposed improvements for long-term development scenarios. Houseal presented the Implementation chapter, which detailed direct actions of and specific recommendations to City staff, residents, and businesses, as well as an implementation matrix highlighting a specific need, how and when a recommendation would address that need, and what tools could be used for this. Klima summarized the outreach to solicit feedback on the draft plan and gave a timeline for approval. Pieper asked what the next steps were. Klima explained it would go before the City Council to be approved in draft form, and once staff had incorporated any changes, the draft will be submitted to the Met Council prior to the December 31, 2018 deadline. Following Met Council approval, the plan would be formally adopted by the City Council. Farr thanked staff and Houseal for their hard work and lauded the document. Regarding the Land Use chapter he observed the TOD definitions were a half mile around stations "and transit corridors," and suggested the casual reader may need further explanation. Regarding the Special Area Studies chapter, he noted the Minnesota Vikings Training Camp was a missing piece in this. Regarding the Community and Facilities chapter, Farr noted the School Board's findings on declining enrollment in Eden Prairie schools were stated as triggering a negative economic impact,but no goal or strategy was given to address this, which could leave the questions of families unanswered. Klima offered to look at the TOD corridor language. There was specific discussion on the Winter Park site as a potential hotel site in the draft plan. Houseal offered to take a look at possible language to address decreasing school enrollment. Klima replied the school district would also submit feedback on this Plan. Some possible solutions could be found in tangential strategies, such as in planning for"lifecycle housing." She suggested staff could tie these ideas together more effectively for readers of the Plan. Higgins asked if Klima was looking for actual language or concepts to insert tonight. Klima replied now was the time for feedback, including specific suggestion, and if PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 24, 2018 Page 4 necessary staff could wordsmith general ideas. Higgins expressed concern that the strategies address existing, aging rental housing. Eden Prairie was losing the opportunity to continue to have the resources for people to stay in those homes. She urged the City be more comprehensive in such results, such as getting at the real problems superficially addressed and/or improved piecemeal by inspections and other efforts, especially at apartment complexes. This also linked with schools, as residents may have to move when rents increase,perhaps in the middle of the school year. Klima agreed this issue was important and replied the best place to address this concern is through the Implementation chapter, rather than the Housing chapter. Houseal added with coordination and effort this could easily be implemented. Higgins added she saw a need for protections for tenants who are newer immigrants and are struggling with resources and the cultural capital to know where to get help, especially those residing in older properties. Houseal replied this was a good illustration of the issue the Community Facilities chapter addressed: accessibility, and barriers to resources. He offered to revisit the language to make sure it is clear. DeSanctis noted a statement encouraging residents to shift away from turf and toward native grasses, and asked if this was an actionable item. Klima replied the implementations of this were included in the sustainability callouts and actionable items would be in the implementation chapter. Houseal added the City has initiatives far more detailed than this such as Sustainable Eden Prairie. The specific charge with the Comprehensive Plan is to support and echo those initiatives. MOTION: Weber moved, seconded by Higgins to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Kirk to recommend approval of the draft Aspire Eden Prairie 2040 Comprehensive Plan update, based on information based on the staff report dated September 21, 2018. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. Kirk also lauded the document and the efforts that went into it. VIII. PLANNERS' REPORT IX. MEMBERS' REPORTS X. CONTINUING BUSINESS XI. NEW BUSINESS XII.

Chair Pieper adjourned the meeting at 7:56 p.m. STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission FROM: Beth Novak-Krebs, Senior Planner DATE: October 5, 2018 SUBJECT: Smith Village LOCATION: 16389 and 16397 Glory Lane APPPLICANTS: United Properties, Halley Land Corp., and Common Bond OWNERS: United Properties Development, LLC and Resurrection Life Church 120 DAY REVIEW: December 11, 2018 REQUEST: 1. Guide Plan Change from Industrial and Church/Cemetery to Medium High Density Residential on 7.16 acres 2. Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 7.16 acres 3. Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 7.16 acres 4. Zoning District Change from Pub and I-Gen to RM-2.5 on 7.16 acres 5. Site Plan Review on 7.16 acres 6. Preliminary Plat of two lots into 5 lots and 1 outlot on 7.16 acres BACKGROUND Review and discussion of this project is a continuation of the public hearing that was opened at the Planning Commission meeting on September 10, 2018. At the meeting, the Commission voted to continue the public hearing until October 8 to give the applicant time to address a number of issues before staff or the Planning Commission could make a recommendation. In addition to staff's comments, a number of questions and comments were raised at the Planning Commission meeting. The applicant has provided responses and follow-up information regarding those questions and comments (see attached). On September 24, 2018, the applicant submitted revised plans that address many of staff's comments; however, some of the items need additional review and discussion as detailed below. PUBLIC COMMENTS Since the September 10 meeting, staff has received written comment,which are attached with this report for the Planning Commission's review. • Alex and Ann Schuster(operators of the Coffee Shop in the Smith-Douglas-More House)— Staff Report—Smith Village October 5, 2018 Page 2 letter dated October 1, 2018 and attached • Don Hanson(resident at 7934 Timber Lake Drive)email dated October 4,2018 and attached LANDSCAPING The revised landscaping plan includes additional shrubs, perennials and grasses between Eden Prairie Road and the parking lot for Trail Point Ridge to provide additional screening and seasonal color. The applicant has also added foundation plantings along the back side of Trail Point Ridge, enhanced the plantings along the main drive into the site, and added plantings in the parking lot islands for Trail Point Ridge. The revised plan meets the tree replacement requirements; however, the applicant is requesting a waiver for the landscaping requirements. The project requires 973 caliper inches of landscaping, and the plan includes approximately 504 caliper inches. Of the 504 caliper inches, 261 caliper inches are provided by trees and roughly 243 caliper inches(25%)are being replaced by plantings beds and shrubs. The ordinance allows 25%of the required caliper inches to be replaced by plantings beds or shrubs. On this plan, the applicant counted far more plantings beds and shrubs that 25% of the required caliper inches. This is not consistent with City Code and it erroneously makes it appear that they exceed the requirements.The applicant shall revise the plan to provide calculations that meet the ordinance requirements.This will help staff determine the exact extent of the waiver request. Although this is a significant waiver request, the addition of more plantings would result in overplanting causing overcrowding and maintenance issues. The landscaping is well-designed and provides function and aesthetics. In addition,the plan includes native species and plantings that will provide year round color and interest. BUILDING MATERIAL AND HEIGHT The applicant provided revised building material calculations for Applewood Pointe. It appears that all but two of the building facades meet the 75%Class I building material requirement. On two of the facades,the plan lists colored rock face concrete block as a Class I material. Concrete block is a Class II material. The plan shall be revised to meet the City Code requirement. In addition, the applicant shall provide building material samples for Trail Point Ridge and Applewood Pointe. The revised building elevations for Trail Pointe Ridge do not illustrate how the building height is measured using the City's recently adopted method. The applicant must provide an illustration of the calculations so staff can verify the building height waiver. SIDEWALKS The applicant is proposing 5' and 6' wide sidewalks. Where parked cars might hang over the sidewalk,staff recommends the applicant widen the sidewalk to 7'wide to provide a minimum of 5' of clear walkway. 2 Staff Report—Smith Village October 5, 2018 Page 3 PUBLIC ART The plan includes an area with public art and other site amenities,which are not detailed in the plan. The Development Agreement will address the art and amenities including items such as providing a process for selecting the art and timing of installation. AFFORDABILITY Trail Pointe Ridge is a mixed income housing community, including 52 low-income housing tax credit units affordable to the local workforce,and six units at market rate rents. Applewood Pointe is proposing 10 affordable units at 80%AMI or less. There are a number of goals and policies in the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan encouraging elderly housing and affordable housing opportunities within the community. The plan acknowledges that there is a growing demand for affordable housing in the community and seniors are a growing segment of the population which has specific needs including affordable housing. Some of the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies include the following: • 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; • encourage elderly and affordable housing throughout the City; • promote and support the development of new affordable housing units to meet the community's share of the regional affordability housing needs as well as the City's goals; • support efforts to develop quality, affordable housing developments that are long lasting, indistinguishable from market rate housing and well-maintained and managed; and, • Ensure that a portion of the City's remaining land and major redevelopment areas, including the Major Center Area and Golden Triangle TOD, are developed as affordable housing. As discussed above, the City Council has adopted goals in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan relating to providing affordable housing units. This development will assist in meeting these goals by providing affordable units. Staff has discussed the affordability proposal presented by Applewood Pointe and feels the following proposal aligns more closely with the City's affordability goals and recommends 3 units at 60%AMI, 4 units at 80%AMI, and 3 units at 100%AMI. Subject to City Council review and approval, an affordability component will be incorporated as a requirement in the development agreement to be presented to the City Council. 3 Staff Report—Smith Village October 5, 2018 Page 4 FEES AND CHARGES Both applicants are requesting an exemption for Cash Park Fees and City Water Access charges for the affordable units. These fees have not been waived for other development projects. This issue will be addressed at the City Council meeting. WATER STORAGE TANK ACCESS The City recently purchased property from MNDOT and is planning to construct a water storage tank southeast of the project across the regional trail. Vehicular and utility access is needed to the proposed storage facility. Staff has requested that construction and permanent access be provided through this development. The City has worked with the applicants to identify an access route and prepare easement language(see attached).The plans do not reflect the change.Prior to the 1st reading at the City Council, all of the plan sheets shall be revised to reflect this access to the water storage tank and the attached easement language shall be executed. CROSS PROGRAMMING Staff encourages cross programming between the three product types to provide for resident interaction and opportunities to build community. This is a way to promote a sense of community and create a more unified neighborhood. The applicants have suggested the following as cross programming and social interaction opportunities: all of the outdoor activity and recreational spaces can be used by all of the residents, there is a central feature and gathering space connected to each product type by sidewalks, the residents will have the opportunity to participate in National Night Out, block parties etc., and Common Bond could provide its Study Buddy program with potential volunteers from Applewood Pointe or the townhomes. Staff encourages the applicant to continue to explore these types of opportunities. Prior to City Council review, the applicants shall provide a Cross Programming Plan that provides multiple options for ongoing multigenerational interaction. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS 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. 1. Density The RM2.5 zoning district allows 17.4 dwelling units per acre. This project proposes a total of 164 units over on 7.16 acres for a total of 22.9 units per acre. 4 Staff Report—Smith Village October 5, 2018 Page 5 2. Gross Site Area City Code requires the total area of the site to be 2,500 square feet per unit. The project as proposed provides 1,902 square feet per unit. 3. Building Height The maximum building height in City Code is 45 feet.The Applewood Point building ranges from 2 stories to 5 stories and it is 66 feet 7 inches for the 5 story section. Trail Pointe Ridge is a 4-story building and it is 54 feet. The portion of the building closest to the Smith Douglas More House property is proposed to be two and three stories to reduce the visual impact and blend in with adjacent development. The 5 story or highest portion of the building is proposed along the northeast, east and southeast side of the building adjacent to the industrial use and the regional trail. 4. Building Setback along Glory Lane The minimum side yard setback by City Code is 25 feet. Trail Pointe Ridge is 17.6 feet to the property line. Glory Lane is a private street. Therefore, the setback to the building is considered a side setback. The requested waiver allows for the building to be located closer to the street and allow for access to the underground parking on the south end of the building. 5. Parking Setback along Eden Prairie Road City Code requires a 35 foot setback from the parking lot to the right-of-way line. The proposed parking lot for Trail Pointe Ridge has a 20 foot setback. 6. Parking Setback for the Townhomes City Code requires parking lots to be at least 10 feet from a side lot line. The parallel parking for the townhomes is 1 foot away from the lot line. The waiver allows visitor parking on the lot and provides for maneuvering room into the garages of the townhomes. 7. Lots Without Street Frontage City Code are requires lots to have frontage on a public street. As proposed on the preliminary plat, Applewood Pointe and the townhomes do not have frontage on a public street. Due to the location of the existing lots and the fact that Glory Lane is a private street, the applicants cannot create lots that all front on a public street. 8. Minimum Lots Depth City Code requires the townhome lots to be at least 100 feet deep. As proposed on the preliminary plat, the lots for the townhomes are 86 feet deep. This dimension is enough to accommodate the units and the applicant intends to plat it as a Common Interest Community plat in the future. 5 Staff Report—Smith Village October 5, 2018 Page 6 9. Group Usable Open Space The project is required to have 600 square feet of group usable open space per unit. The proposed site plan includes 390 square feet per unit. The proposed project includes indoor and outdoor spaces suitable for groups of people to recreate and socialize. The indoor spaces include areas such as community rooms, fitness center, library, great room, club room and lounge. The outdoor spaces include areas such as ball court,playground, sidewalks and walking paths, community garden, sitting areas,plaza area, and exercise areas. The project provides a variety of options for all of the residents. 10. Parking The City Code requires 2 parking spaces per unit. Applewood Point proposal provides 1.62 parking stalls per unit. There are 113 underground parking spaces and 49 surface parking spaces. The proposed number of parking stalls for Applewood Pointe is consistent with other similar senior facilities and multifamily projects. Senior facilities of this nature do not generally utilize the number of parking stalls required in traditional RM-2.5 district development. According to the applicant, Applewood Pointe, most of the residents in their other projects only have one car. In addition, the applicant has provided data regarding the parking ratios at other Applewood Pointe projects,which range anywhere from 1.51 vehicles per unit and 1.67 vehicles per unit. There will be bicycle parking on site for staff and visitors. In response to concerns about overflow parking during special events in any of the buildings, Smith Village has an agreement with Huber Funeral Home to use 45 parking spaces with 10 days notice. 11. Covered Parking At least one of the two required parking spaces per unit must be covered. Trail Pointe Ridge is required to have 58 covered stalls and the underground parking lot accommodates 49. The building footprint limited the number of underground parking stalls,but the applicant expanded their surface parking so they meet the code requirements for the total number of parking stalls on site. 12. Landscaping The revised plan meets the tree replacement requirements. In addition to tree replacement, each of the product types require landscaping for foundation plantings,parking lot screening, and improving the overall environment on the site. The applicant is requesting a waiver for the landscaping requirements. The plan requires 973 caliper inches and the plan includes approximately 504 caliper inches. The ordinance allows 25%of the required caliper inches to be substituted by planting beds and shrubs. On this plan,the applicant counted far more 6 Staff Report—Smith Village October 5, 2018 Page 7 plantings beds and shrubs than 25%of the required caliper inches.This is not consistent with City Code and it erroneously makes it appear that they exceed the requirements. The applicant shall revise the plan to provide calculations that meet the ordinance requirements. This will help staff determine the exact extent of the waiver request. This will help staff determine the exact extent of the waiver request. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval contingent upon a few issues and changes being addressed prior to Council. This is based on plans stamp dated September 24, 2018 and the following conditions: 1. Approval of the project is conditioned upon the Metropolitan Council approval of a 2030 Comprehensive Plan amendment to reguide the property from Industrial and Church/Cemetery to Medium High Density Residential. 2. Prior to the 1st reading before the City council, the applicants shall: A. Revise the plans to reflect the access to the City's water storage tank as attached and execute the attached easement language. B. Provide a Cross Programming Plan that provides multiple options for ongoing multigenerational interaction. C. If CommonBond does not secure funding and Applewood Pointe is the only product being developed, all of the plans and the preliminary plan will have to be revised. D. Revise the width of the sidewalks adjacent to parking stalls to 7' wide to allow for overhang of cars while maintaining 5' of unobstructed access. E. Only 25% of the required caliper inches for landscaping can be substituted with planting beds or shrubs. The calculations shall be revised so that the planting beds and shrubs counted toward the required caliper inches are consistent with City Code. F. On two of the facades, the plan lists colored rock face concrete block as a Class I material. Concrete block is a Class II material. The plan shall be revised to use a material that meets the Class I requirement. G. Provide building material samples for Trail Point Ridge and Applewood Pointe. H. The building elevations for Trail Point Ridge should include a graphic showing how the building height is determined based on the following: i. Building height- the vertical distance from the grade plane to the highest point of the coping of the highest flat roof or to the deck line of the highest mansard roof or to the average height of the highest gable of a pitched or hipped roof ii. Grade Plane:A reference plane representing the average finished ground level adjoining the building at the exterior walls. Where the finished 7 Staff Report—Smith Village October 5, 2018 Page 8 ground level slopes away from the exterior walls, the reference plane shall be established by the lowest points within the area between the building and the closest adjacent lot line or, where the closest adjacent lot line is more than 6 feet from the building, between the building and a point 6 feet from the building. 3. Prior to release of the final plat, the applicant shall: A. Provide copies of legal documents, either in Homeowners Association format or private covenant and agreement format to be approved by the City that shall address the following: • Describe the long term private maintenance or replacement agreement for the retaining walls. • Insertion of Language in the documents that relinquishes the City of Eden Prairie from maintenance or replacement of the retaining walls. 4.

Eden Prairie School District staff(Anthony) has indicated that school buses will not be able utilize the cul-de-sac of Glory Lane, and the school bus will stop directly at the corner of Eden Prairie Road and Glory Lane. The staff person provided examples of other locations along Eden Prairie Road where school bus stops are located, including but not limited to intersections of Eden Prairie Road and: Edenwood Drive (1.3 miles north of Glory Lane); Baywood Lane (1.7 miles north of Glory Lane); and Hilltop Road(1.6 miles south of Glory Lane). Safety features were discussed and include mandatory annual school bus safety training for all students of Eden Prairie Schools, an extendable stop sign attached to bus, and an arm extension which blocks students from crossing the road in front of the bus. Additional safety features will be explored as the project progresses, and school board staff anticipates the schedule and route will be determined in the summer of 2020, in advance of the school year. The Development Team will work with the Eden Prairie School District, Property Managers, and future residents to ensure a safe and accessible bus stop will be available to residents. • Provide a cross sectional view of the site with a rendering from the trail in order to visualize what would be seen from the trail. See the cross sectional view of the site with a rendering from the trail included in the submission. Smith Village September 24, 2018 • Provide more landscaping for aesthetics and acoustic buffers. The updated landscape plans, which are still subject to further modifications, indicate varying approaches to the landscaping based on locations within the site. Landscaping in the green space between Eden Prairie Road and the Trail Point Ridge parking lot and building contains a variety of forbs, grasses, shrubs, evergreen trees and deciduous trees placed together in a mass bed for screening purposes. It will allow for seasonal colors and textures on varying levels to provide more effective screening and to create an aesthetically pleasing space along the main entrance to the site. While vegetation is not as effective as noise walls, many perceive these spaces to also act as an acoustical buffer to disperse or dilute noise. Foundation landscaping exists around the entire Trail Point Ridge building and in the parking lot islands. Landscaping around the bio-filtration basins mainly consists of seed for a native cover of forbs, grasses and sedges. Due to this, the plantings around basins need to allow for adequate sunlight for the native groundcover species to thrive, otherwise they will be shaded out and the side slopes will be prone to erosion. Landscape enhancements with more ornamental species are incorporated around the seating areas off of the trail, around the playground and court spaces. Landscaping along the entrance drive extending off of the cul-de-sac by the townhomes is focused on creating a pedestrian friendly space with an overlook of the basin area and sculptural elements. This area was not planted as heavily with trees to avoid shading out the ground plane and basin area,where we want pollinator species to thrive and allow for a more boulevard style along the drive with a line of trees. There are more heavily planted buffers between the townhomes and the playground and court space due to the close proximity of these spaces to allow for greater privacy. While there are foundation plantings shown along the townhome locations, these are subject to modifications once the homes have a final layout plan determined. The focal point of the entrance to the Applewood Pointe building is created in the center island where a water feature will be built with ornamental plantings around all sides. There are numerous nodes around the Applewood Pointe building with corresponding landscape design features. On the west end of the building adjacent to the coffee house parking lot, the plantings use more cottage style plant species to fit better with the historic nature of the adjacent site while still providing a landscape buffer of the proposed building. To the north of the Applewood building on the upper hillside above the retaining walls, a native design Smith Village September 24, 2018 is incorporated to reduce ongoing maintenance demands and to keep the existing natural feel separating the Applewood site from the residential area to the north. The east side of the building is also left more native but will not include trees due to the utility easement in this location. Screening for the residents is accommodated on the patio with the use of some lattice style screens and fire pit area. The exterior path connecting the patio to the coffee house site has several pedestrian activity nodes that are showing a bocce ball court, an exercise area and a horseshoe court. These nodes have some landscaped beds but are focused on providing more turf lawn spaces, as the opposite side of the trail is very densely planted with a variety of plant species. The front side of Applewood Pointe also has some pedestrian spaces, including a community garden space. These have been highly popular at other sites and they become very ornamental, so they are good in highly visible locations with more adequate sunlight to accommodate the garden plants. There is also a small bird and butterfly garden area with benches surrounded by plantings that attract birds and butterflies and also include feeders. To the south of the main entrance are some more natural spaces. One contains a variety of boulders, some suitable for sitting on some for use as steppers to encourage agility. The other node is a space with Adirondack chairs for seating in a quiet area. Both of these nodes are meant to be more natural in appearance and feel with a woodsy ambience, so many plant species around these nodes were chosen to include plantings synonymous with woods. • Address the resident's question about the placement of the townhomes and Trail Pointe Ridge, specifically why the townhomes aren't along Eden Prairie Road. The Smith Village development was designed with three distinct residential land uses, each of which has its own unique footprint, architectural design feature, landscape requirements, and resident expectations while also designed to be aesthetically and functionally coordinated. The topography of the site provides unique challenges and opportunities as it drops in elevation from the northern end of the site to the south, while also falling from east to west. These site conditions inherently tend to direct the design of the storm water management to the south west corner of the site. The partial 5-story design of the Applewood Pointe, and the fact that it is a for-sale product, United Properties and the Development Team designed this building to sit as far north and east of Eden Prairie Road as possible, while reducing the massing of the building along the Smith Douglas More House and the adjacent single-family homes to the north. The Smith Village Townhomes have been designed as one level living with walk-out basements. The topography of the site is best suited for this product to be adjacent to the regional trail as the grades naturally fall approximately 8'-10' in this area. Smith Village September 24, 2018 The townhomes also provide a natural buffer between the Trail Pointe Ridge 4-story building and the Applewood Pointe 5-story building, allowing the overall site to feel more open and spacious. The location of the Smith Village Townhomes in the middle of the site also allows the greenspace to be centralized inviting the residents of this neighborhood to interact within the neighborhood. The rambler design height of the Smith Village Townhomes also minimizes the massing along the regional trail reducing the visual clutter to users of this beautiful public amenity. In addition to these design considerations, the market for this for-sale product tends to be more secluded within the development as opposed to being adjacent to Eden Prairie Road. Trail Pointe Ridge is being developed as a rental apartment building with more impervious surface and density than that of the Smith Village Townhomes. The design of the site takes advantage of the existing church entrance and parking lot adjacent to Eden Prairie Road, and the grade change helps to accommodate the underground parking. The residents of the Trail Pointe Ridge apartment building will benefit from its proximity to Eden Prairie Road and its access to a school bus stop at Glory Lane, public transportation less than one mile to the north at Eden Prairie and Valley View Roads, Miller Park, and direct access to the Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail. The parking lot of the Trail Pointe Ridge apartment creates a natural setback for the building from Eden Prairie Road and confines a large portion of vehicular traffic away from the green space, play grounds, and group open space. While other iterations of the site were initially reviewed, the proposed configuration best accommodates the existing site conditions and future uses of the site. Additionally, the architectural aesthetic and design of Trail Pointe Ridge has been guided by City design standards. The building includes the use of contrasting colors which intended to break up the mass of the building rather than reading as a monolithic building along Eden Prairie Road. The use of various materials on the building facades facilitates eye movement and interest, while also reducing the impact of the building massing. Additionally, each of the Smith Village components are designed to coordinate but not replicate one another, and have taken visual cues from the adjacent Smith Douglas More house including gable hats on corners of building, enhanced red tone stone at front entrance, and utilizing lap siding. • Staff encourages the exploration of cross programming between the three product types to provide for resident interaction and opportunities to build community. The Development Team has explored cross programming opportunities between the three product types to provide for resident interaction and opportunities to build community. First, the Development Team has designed the site to include a central amenity feature which includes paths to connect each housing component with seating areas, a public art Smith Village September 24, 2018 feature, and outdoor recreational spaces. A cross use and management agreement will be developed to ensure the appropriate management and use of the shared features (Outlot A). Additionally, the Development Team will explore opportunities for cross use of exterior site amenities, subject to association requirements. Additionally, Smith Village residents will have the opportunity to participate in National Night Out events, neighborhood block parties, and pot lucks. CommonBond has experience hosting and coordinating National Night Out celebrations at many of its housing communities, and will coordinate events with the other property owners and managers. Furthermore, CommonBond will provide supportive services at the site which will be fully developed once the needs of the specific resident population is known, and could include its signature Study Buddies program which requires volunteers for the success of the program. Study Buddies is a one-on-one academic mentoring program that supports residents of CommonBond's housing communities in grades K-6 in achieving school success through positive relationships and the development of academic and social- emotional skills. Each Study Buddy participant is paired with a community volunteer, and they meet 90 minutes per week for the entire school year. CommonBond will coordinate with the associations of Applewood Pointe and Smith Village Townhomes to advertise such volunteer opportunities at Trail Pointe Ridge. I October, 2018 Dear Eden Prairie City Council , Eden Prairie Mayor and Eden Prairie Planning Commission , We are Alex Schuster and Ann Schuster and we are writing you in regards to the Smith Village Project proposal , With our family, we have operated the Coffee Shop in the Smith Douglas More House for the last 12 years which is adjacent to the proposed project. As a longstanding tenant and future neighbor of the Smith Village project we some comments we would like to share . We are in support of this project and hope to see its realization . We have met with personnel from United Properties, Commonbond and the City of Eden Prairie to better understand the proposal . We think that the senior living, townhomes and affordable housing will all fit well in the neighborhood and bring value to our community The following are our list of concerns and suggestions: I . Landscaping the property border between Smith Coffee and Applewood Pointe , x . .. . am' r..", ..v 't4 t` •±a r 'Y A • ,. x yy_ u A-f m dry Rendering o fApplewood Pointe as viewed From Smith Parking Lot One of our greatest business assets is the beauty of the property that we rent from the City of Eden Prairie . Our customers often express how they appreciate the rural setting of the property and we are concerned that Applewood Pointe will reduce its perceived beauty. We are asking that extra consideration is taken to reduce this impact as much as possible . We believe that additional landscaping between the properties could improve the aesthetics and appeal of both properties. While the Smith Douglas More House is our retail service space it is also a historic property and highly praised community gathering space . We feel the need to advocate in the interest of preserving its rural and charming aesthetic to the degree which it is possible . According to the Smith Village Staff Report, this plan requires 973 caliper inches of landscaping and the plan only includes 253 caliper inches. We are asking for additional landscaping be included along our property line to more adequately meet the plan ' s requirement. The staff report also notes that the proposed plan exceeds the height requirement by 29 feet and I 0 inches (66A taller than code permits) . Since the building is so tall , we are concerned it will block sunlight, cast a shadow and reduce the natural beauty as perceived by our guests. We feel creative landscaping could mitigate this issue . 2 . Design of path connecting Smith Coffee to LRT Bike Trail mot . . } Smith Coffee Parking Lot 94,..�. ,t ' i , 41171 7: QiCN1? .

According to the aerial rendering we were shown , this path would terminate into a parking spot in our lot. We are asking for additional details about the design and landscaping of the path that achieves the following goals: • Is safe as well as ADA compliant • Does not reduce our parking availability • Is an asset to the community, our guests and the residents of Applewood Pointe • Allows residents of Eden Prairie to freely access the trail to and from Smith Coffee 3. Name Confusion around Smith Coffee and Smith Village We are concerned that having such similar names may cause confusion for our guests and potential residents about ownership of each property as well as where parking is permitted . We would like to clarify whether the Smith Village name will be used publicly on any signage and develop a plan to clear up any potential guest confusion . 4. Limited Parking options for guests and visitors of Smith Coffee and Smith Village As 12 year tenants we can say beyond any doubt that this neighborhood has limited parking options, Our lot frequently reaches capacity and our guests are asking for additional parking options on a daily basis. The current design of this neighborhood does not allow street parking nearby our business or near any of the Smith Village projects. We currently have employee parking arranged at Resurrection Life Church which will be lost once this project begins. We are concerned that the increase density could further complicate the parking issue . The current plan states that Applewood Pointe has 38 parking spots less than City Code . The plan is also significantly more densely populated than city code . We understand that United Properties has arranged special event parking with Huber Funeral Homes, but this does not address the day to day parking needs of this neighborhood . We want to develop a parking plan that does not resort to towing cars. From our perspective in the hospitality industry we have learned that we need to find a way to accommodate all our guests rather than towing or ticketing. We currently experience visitors parking in our lot for LRT trail access and we want to be able accommodate all our guests. We are asking that parking be reconsidered to have adequate parking for the Smith Village properties and public parking for trail users. By allowing for public access parking to trail users, we are enhancing the value and usability of the LRT trail for the greater Eden Prairie community. We would like to reiterate our support of the plan and hope you take into consideration our opinions and insight on these matters. We feel that additional landscaping along our property line and additional parking access would greatly improve the viability and benefit to this neighborhood . Best, Ann Schuster annsmith I 877. com 952- 221 - 149 I Alex Schuster alexaasmith 1877. com 952-250- 6890 Beth Novak - Krebs From : Don Hanson < dfhanson@ieee . org > Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2018 10 : 16 PM To: Julie Klima Cc: Lori Creamer; Beth Novak- Krebs; ' Dave Young ' ; ' Mark Nelson '; ' Diana Dyste ' ; ' Michael Halley': Jay Lotthammer Subject: Please add me to the agenda on Monday night Oct 8 at the Planning Commission . Julie, Please forward this to anybody who needs it . I am preparing a PowerPoint Presentation for the Meeting Monday Oct 8 at 7PM . I will email you a copy of my presentation on Monday morning . I don 't have it ready yet . I will bring a flash drive with the PowerPoint on it and would need access to your projector and computer . Please put me on the Agenda for 10 to 20 minutes . My presentation consists entirely of photographic evidence relating to the Resurrection Life Church project . The presentation is in two parts . For the first part, I assess the setbacks, etc . for some recent buildings built in Eden Prairie . With photographs, I give evidence of major problems with other building projects that do not contain enough setback, etc, and may cost the city millions of $ $ in remedial work to bring them up to code . Therefore , I make the case that the variances should not be granted . I believe that a project requires some " unifying concept" to bring the project together . This project doesn ' t seem to have a " unifying concept" other than " multiple use" that motivates the physical buildings and locations of buildings in this project . On a 100-year time scale, will the " multiple use" concept still be in vogue ? Or will this be a "white elephant" in the year 2118 ? I propose cutting one of the three buildings from the proposal to meet the city codes without variance . The Townhomes section would be the natural project to cut . The second part of the presentation is only tangentially related to the Resurrection Life Church Redevelopment . It is about recommending colors for the architects to consider . Since this can apply to many buildings, it is not only about the Church project . Most architects designing buildings for Eden Prairie don ' t consider the building is to be in a Prairie Paradise . I propose that an " Eden Prairie" color palette be created to include ranges of acceptable colors and ranges of unacceptable colors for buildings in highly visible locations . This is more general concept than this one project . This " Eden Prairie" color palette would make it easy for architects and others because they would have rules to follow . I have observed two recent projects in Eden Prairie and many, many others in the twin cities area which have color schemes that are bizarre today and will be extremely dated 100 years from now . Buildings last an average of 120 years . it is important to do "due diligence " today with the next 100 years in mind even if it requires much more time . Many color schemes I have seen in the Twin Cities recently are more suitable for Mardi Gras in New Orleans than a " Prairie Paradise" in Eden Prairie . I believe these Mardi Gras color schemes will not stand the test of time in Minnesota . 1 In my opinion , a few very recent projects have color schemes which sadly do not represent the image of " EDEN PRAIRIE" that I know . ( I am not talking about the present project ) . I propose that the Planning Commission make rules to ban color schemes which do not represent the tone and spirit of the community of Eden Prairie . If something is not done about this, I believe the city will be a hodge- podge of projects, many not representing the colors of a " Prairie Paradise" . Do we want to be just another suburb, giving architects free reign to define our city, or are we going to define what colors define Eden Prairie and have these architects make the colors of their project fit a " Prairie Paradise ?" I also have a presentation on proposed colors that should be banned outright as not representing the city . These colors are no- brainers . I have gone around the city and taken hundreds of pictures to see what colors are already used that seem to me to fit a " Prairie Paradise" ( Eden Prairie ) . In addition, I have taken photographs of mounds of dirt at construction sites to show a suitable base color for an Eden Prairie Palette . I am upset about the colors of some recent buildings, mostly in the entire Metro area , but one or two here in EP . NOTE : I am a former Lecturer in Architecture with Department of Architecture at the University of Illinois . I taught Building Lighting, Wiring, and Color Science for Architects . This may be why I am very sensitive to colors . I have taken photographs of many EP buildings which are truly beautiful . I show numerous photographs of EP buildings which do an excellent job of representing Eden Prairie . I look forward to discussing the Resurrection Life Church Redevelopment project further with the Planning Commission at the meeting and in their offices, if needed . I hope that there is time available to present my general proposal on an " Eden Prairie" color palette . It is a photographic essay . Thank you . Donald F . Hanson , Ph . D . , P . E . 952 -906-3492 P . S . — I object to the proposers using the name "Smith" and "Trail" in their building names . The City Heritage Preservation Commission should get involved . The Smith Douglas More House has nothing to do with his building project . By naming it Smith Village, they attempt to use the 130-year history of the Smith Douglas More House to claim there is a connection . "Smith Village" is just their marketing plan . These new buildings should not be compared to the 1877 Smith Douglas More House . Therefore, I believe the City Heritage Preservation Commission should not allow the marketers of this project to use the name "Smith Village" . The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission should get involved . This building project has no connection at all with the public Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail . The proposers are using the name " Trail Pointe Ridge " to market their project . Therefore, I believe the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission should consider forbidding the proposers from using the name Trail in their marketing . It should be made clear to the public that this building project is in no way supported by the public Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail . 2 ACCESS EASEMENT AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT THIS ACCESS EASEMENT AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of , 20 , by and between United Properties Development LLC , a Minnesota limited liability company (hereafter referred to as the " Grantor") , and the City of Eden Prairie (" Grantee") .

Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 11.67 acres 2. Site Plan Review on 11.67 acres BACKGROUND The property is 11.67 acres and located on the corner of Liatris Lane and Charlson Road. The property is part of a larger CH Robinson office campus. There is airport property to the north, an office building to the east, and residential to the west and south. The property is guided and zoned Office. The proposal does not require changes to the guide plan or the zoning of the property. The proposed office use is consistent with the City Code and Comprehensive Plan and with previous approvals for the continued use of the property. In 2006, a PUD was approved for Phases 2 through 4 of the overall CH Robinson campus, which included this property. The approved site plan for this property included a 1-story 81,900 square foot L- shape building with 614 parking stalls. The 2006 approved plan also included access via two driveways onto Liatris Lane and a shared driveway with the existing CH Robinson building to the east. An existing stormwater management area is located along the south property line of this lot. CH Robinson has expressed the need for additional employee parking which has prompted the site plan application. The current application includes the construction of surfaced parking and construction of a 120,000 sq. ft., 2-story office building using a phased development approach. PROPOSED SITE PLAN The project is proposed to be constructed in phases.The first phase includes the construction of a parking lot with 175 parking stalls on the east side of the site, west of the existing CH Robinson building. The second phase is proposed to include construction of a new 80,000 sq. ft, two-story office building and an additional 607 parking spaces. The proposed site plan also includes a potential third phase that could accommodate a 40,000 sq. ft., two-story future expansion of the building. Full build out of the building Staff Report-Eden Bluff Business Park PUD Amendment(CH Robinson) 10/05/18 would bring the total square footage of the building to 120,000 sq. ft.

The major differences between the plans include the following: Site Building Future Total Building Building Number of Total Plan Size Expansion Potential Height Shape proposed Parking Building Size access points Spaces 2006 81,900 sq.ft. None 81,900 sq. ft. 1 story L-shaped 2(Liatris Ln.) 614 2018 80,000 sq.ft. +40,000 sq. ft. 120,000 sq. ft. 2 story Rectangular 1 (Liatris Ln.) 717 At full build out capacity, the 2018 proposed site plan is an increase of 103 additional, new parking spaces and an increase of an additional 38,100 sq. ft. of building area in comparison with the site plan that was approved in 2006.The proposed two-story building complies with building height requirements. The proposed site plan complies with the City Code requirements for setbacks,number of parking stalls, and parking stall and drive aisle sizing. The 2006 approved site plan included two accesses points onto Liatris Lane whereas the 2018 proposed site plan includes only one access point onto Liatris Lane, which will be oriented to promote right-out turning movements. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS 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 environments 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 one waiver to City Code requirements as outlined below. 1. Allow an off-street parking lot on the property without a primary structure and allowing the parking lot to serve an adjacent lot. The applicant has identified a need for additional parking for their current employees before the need for additional office space. The proposal is to construct a portion of the parking on this property prior to constructing the proposed new building. The proposed Phase I parking will ultimately serve the overall campus and future building. ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS The building architecture and building materials meet the standards of the City Code. The building is designed to be compatible with the existing buildings on the CH Robinson campus.The building includes façade recesses and projections as well as roof line variation. The predominant building materials include brick, stone and glass. The color of the brick and stone will match the brick and stone used on other existing buildings on the campus. The rooftop mechanical equipment will be screened using a metal panel. 3 Staff Report—Eden Bluff Business Park PUD Amendment(CH Robinson) 10/05/18 Existing Building 41111111111111111110. C.H.ROBINSON �- PHASE Proposed Building - rrr ., II I I 1 II I I I I I I I LANDSCAPE PLAN & TREE REPLACEMENT 2006 Landscape Plan& Tree Replacement-There are a significant number of existing trees along the south side of the property near the existing stormwater management area. These trees were installed in different phases shortly after the stormwater management area was constructed in accordance with the tree replacement and landscape plans that were approved with the 2006 PUD. 2018 Landscape Plan -The landscaping requirement for the building is 697 caliper inches. The landscaping requirement is intended to soften the areas immediately adjacent to the building and paved areas, to create pedestrian scale spaces on the site, and to screen off-street parking. The landscaping plan includes a total of 968 caliper inches of landscaping material, including MN native species and exceeds the landscape requirements of the City Code. In addition to the trees,the applicant is proposing shrubs and perennials along parking lots as screening, along the building foundation to enhance the appeal of the building, along the sidewalks, patios, and seating areas to enhance the human experience of these outdoor spaces. The site plan also includes landscape within parking lot islands,however not all of the proposed islands meet this requirement. Staff 4 Staff Report—Eden Bluff Business Park PUD Amendment(CH Robinson) 10/05/18 has discussed this with the applicant and they are working on revising their plans to comply with this requirement prior to being scheduled for city council review. 2018 Tree Replacement-The 2018 proposed site plan indicates that 11 trees will be removed from the site. Tree replacement is not required for these trees since they are not significant or heritage trees although, a full tree inventory is required to be submitted to city staff for review in order to determine compliance and implementation of the 2006 tree replacement and landscape plan. Based upon staff's review, additional tree replacement may be required if any tree loss has occurred over the years. The applicant is aware of this and has agreed to submit this information for city staff's review prior to this item being scheduled for city council review. SCREENING Initially, the applicant intends to construct a portion of the proposed parking lot closest to the east property line. A phased landscape plan has been submitted for the site and the phasing limits are shown on the plans. The parking lot will likely be the only use on this site for some time since the timing of the phasing is unknown at this time; therefore, staff is recommending temporary screening to be installed. Landscape screening shall be provided on the north, west and south sides of the parking lot between Phase I and Phase II. This temporary screening should be installed during Phase I of the project. The applicant is working on revising the landscape plans to include this temporary screening as recommended by staff and will submit to city staff for review prior to this item being scheduled for city council review. Depending on how the temporary screening is designed, the plants providing screening for the parking lot may be able to be transplanted with the construction of Phase II. DRAINAGE The stormwater management pond has already been installed and is located along the south side of the property. The plan is designed to provide stormwater management for future phases and full build out of the property. The applicant is required to provide a plan to address how stormwater management will be handled for the initial parking lot. Review of the stormwater management system is ongoing. The applicant is continuing to address comments from the Engineering Division. TRAFFIC A traffic study was completed for the proposed development. The traffic study, which analyzed the combined Phase I and Phase II portions of the development, found that the proposed office building development is expected to generate 1,324 new trips during an average weekday, 187 new trips during the a.m. peak hour and 178 new trips during the p.m. peak hour. All study intersections are forecast to operate acceptably in terms of delays and queues through the office building build date, which for the study was 2019. Following the build scenario, the only substandard operating intersection that is not internal to the development is the westbound right turn movement on Charlson Road at Spring Road. This forecast queue length is just over the five-vehicle threshold used in the study. Because of these relatively acceptable operations, a change in the intersection control is not recommended now. 5 Staff Report—Eden Bluff Business Park PUD Amendment(CH Robinson) 10/05/18 Minor internal vehicle circulation changes are noted in the study to decrease conflicts and vehicle queues. The study also verified that a single access to Liatris Lane would accommodate forecasted entering and exiting volume and placed the risk of drivers seeking an alternative route through the neighborhood as small. Additional measures noted in the study to ensure this include; locating the access north of Plumstone Drive, signing the Liatris Lane access for right turn only for exiting vehicles and providing two outbound lanes at the existing site access to Charlson Road. A travel demand management plan was also submitted with a mission to reduce single occupant vehicle travel to the properties by 15%or approximately 330 employees by the end of 2021,which is anticipated to be three years after the Phase I parking lot expansion. SIDEWALKS There are existing sidewalks along Charlson Road and Liatris Lane. The applicant is proposing installation of concrete sidewalks through the parking lot from the building and connecting to the public sidewalks along Charlson Road and Liatris Lane. The site plan also includes internal concrete sidewalks and striped pedestrian connections in the north and east sides of the proposed new building.This provides a safe pedestrian facility for those people walking between the proposed building and the public sidewalks and parking lot. SIGNS The plan shows a monument sign near the entrance to Liatris Lane and one near the entrance to Charlson Road. The proposed signage will require a separate sign permit application and compliance with the sign regulations of the City Code. SUSTAINABLE FEATURES The lighting in the parking lot complies with City Code requirements and will be LED. The landscape plan also includes MN native species. Staff recommends the installation of bike racks to encourage alternative transportation. The applicant should also provide the city a list of all existing and proposed sustainability features and revise the site plan to include all sustainability features including the installation of bike racks prior to City Council review. PUBLIC COMMENT/NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING Due to the proximity of this development to the Flying Cloud Airport,the applicant is required to file an aeronautical study with the Federal Aviation Administration for the proposed site. A copy shall be submitted to MAC prior to commencing construction. MAC also recommends including noise attenuation for the building, and the use of non-fruit bearing tree species. A neighborhood meeting was held in 2017 based on a previous plan proposed by the applicant which included a three-story building and two accesses onto Liatris Lane. The applicant revised their plans based upon public comment received from the neighborhood meeting and resubmitted their plans to the 6 Staff Report—Eden Bluff Business Park PUD Amendment(CH Robinson) 10/05/18 city for review. The applicant has scheduled a follow-up neighborhood meeting for October 4, 2018 to share the revised plans with the neighborhood and to provide an update regarding modifications they have made to their site plan. The following written public comments have been received and are attached with this report for the Planning Commission's review. • Deane Conklin III (President, Hennepin Village Master Board) - letter dated 09/27/18 attached • Victor& Lyudmila(residents at 15463 Junegrass Lane) - email dated 10/02/18 attached • Vicki Price (resident at 15487 Junegrass Lane)—email dated 10/03/18 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Recommend approval of the following request: 1.

The Real Estate Journal 6-2018 identifies two more stories to the structure which must be an error because it's not on the elevation image. See image highlighted below. PROBLEMS: 1. The Hwy 61 closure rerouted all traffic to CH Robinson via Charlson. This gave residents a clear understanding of how the traffic impact of an expanded corporate campus would affect us. Trying to access Charlson from Liatrus was problematic in the am and pm when most employees leave which made it impossible to get out of our neighborhood. 2. Being that there are only 2 access points on this side of the development, Pincherry and Liatrus,traffic would be a major problem resulting in resident vehicles, delivery trucks, school buses, snow equipment limited access in and out of the community. Consideration should be given to the fact the Liatrus/Junegrass approach is at a steeper incline. Every winter cars get stuck trying to get up the incline and have to back down the street in reverse. I have pictures. Because I was one of those drivers, so were my neighbors on Junegrass. 3. Parking surrounds the new structure creating a "parking lot appearance," particularly on Liatrus.The Liatrus side of the development should be heavily planted to screen structure and parking lot. 4. Where will snow be plowed and accumulated on CH Robinson new site? Right now the existing bldg puts all their snow on the empty lot where new structure will be located. 5. Delivery trucks, snowplows, school buses, employee and resident vehicles et al adds much more traffic to Charlson and Liatrus which makes it a bottleneck situation which is unsafe for residents on this side of the development.A traffic light at Liatrus would be a non-starter, causing a bottleneck for community residents and CH Robinson employee . As a resident I strongly oppose Liatrus as an exit/entrance. 6. A 3rd,4th floor expansion as mentioned in article below is a non-starter. Residents will strongly oppose. 7. Overall increase of congestion from new development on Junegrass near Spring Rd which will contribute to traffic on Junegrass/Liatrus access to Charlson is problematic. Must be included in new traffic impact study. 8. Charlson/Liatrus intersect is a T section with existing trees and underground electric, etc. any consideration of a street expansion is problematic. Note that entry to CH Robinson from Hwy 61 is an expanded road which narrows once it meets with airport property. THINGS TO DO BEFORE APPROVAL OF PLANS: 1. Revised traffic impact study must be done. 2. All access points to new office bldg on Charlson, not Liatrus which is the only neighborhood access point for residents on the east/south side of development. (Most Important) 3. Plantings on Liatrus and back of structure to screen parking lot visibility. 4. Consider reduced footprint of excessive parking lot and its impact on traffic and air quality,water run-off pollution. 5. Note adding two more stories begs the question: is the excessive parking intended to accommodate this 3rd,4th floor expansion? . 6. Property Values Impact Study 9. Construction and its interference on community access, noise, pollution, etc. impact study. 10. One assumes CH Robinson would not consider an expansion while Hwy 61 still in its construction phase.

Robinson has put forward tentative plans to build on 11.7 vacant acres next to its existing corporate campus. According to materials on file with the city, the proposal calls for a three-phase project at a company-owned parcel extending south and east of the intersection of Charlson Road and Liatris Lane. During the first phase,the company would build a 170-stall parking lot, followed by the construction of a two-story building and more parking during phase two.The third phase would add two more stories to the building. A spokesperson from C.H. Robinson declined to comment on the matter. (Note this is a longer article, but I only included this above because it is not according to proposed plan. From: Victor Shneur To: Julie Klima;Angie Perera Subject: C.H. Robinson New Building Date: Tuesday,October 02,2018 7:35:33 PM Dear Ms. Klima and Ms. Perera, When we decided to build our new town home in 2009, Ryland Homes informed us that C.H. Robinson plans to build one-story 80,000 sq. ft. office building between Charlson Road and Junegrass Lane. Recently we have been informed that C.H. Robinson changed their decision and wants to build much larger and taller building: two-story @120,000 sq. ft. We strongly oppose the proposal because it will negatively affect our safety, privacy, the environment, and the value of our property. We truly believe that the City of Eden Prairie will stay behind it's citizens and is not going to allow C.H. Robinson to proceed with the proposed change. Sincerely, Victor & Lyudmila Shneur 15463 Junegrass Lane Eden Prairie, MN 55347 r September 27. 2018 Ms.Julie Klima,AICP City Planner 8080 Mitchell Road Eden Prairie. MN 55344-4485 Dear Ms. Klima: The Hennepin Village Master Board (HVMB) has received notice of the City Planning Commission meeting October 8, 2018 regarding the Campus Expansion of the C H Robinson Company. Following numerous meetings of the Master Board and Sub Associations, and contact with the company, we continue to be concerned about three main areas: (1) safety of our homeowners, (2) environmental concerns, principally drainage, and (3) land use along the Charlson Road corridor. First, safety of our homeowners.The Traffic Impact Study by Spack Consulting was conducted during a non-school,vacation month of August, 2017. C H Robinson has not made any public comments regarding the conclusions and recommendations found on page 16 of the study and whether or not the company has incorporated any of those recommendations in their direct plans or contingency plans going forward. We believe a Traffic Impact Study refresh based on a school, non-vacation month to confirm the August, 2017 results would yield a public benefit, particularly since the company has already experienced traffic and parking related issues based on their pre expansion current headcount and usage. Second, environmental concerns.The development of a large 11.5 acre tract with significant paved parking space,while posing traffic safety related issues of entry and exit, also raises a concern about the environment, most importantly surface drainage of water and chemicals from car usage, and storm drainage.The site lies in a natural bowl with a southern border on an existing collection area.The Traffic Impact Study noted on page 2 that the study did not account for appropriate drainage on specific roadways. Carrying that one step further, has a drainage study of the proposed site been completed and made available to the public? Third, land use of the Charlson Road corridor.Should traffic beyond 2019 along Charlson Road exceed the forecasted usage the mitigations of such a trend are potentially impactful not only to Hennepin Village but also to C H Robinson. What happens if Charlson Road has to be widened between Spring Road and Liatris Road?What happens to the Spring Road and Charlson Road intersection if a roundabout has to be constructed?What happens if a roundabout has to be constructed near the entrance to the HQ location of C H Robinson where buried fiber optic infrastructure is located at a critical intersection? I look forward to discussing these and other issues at the City Planning Commission on October 8, 2018 and request that this communication be a part of the packet sent to Planning Commission members.
