A. OAK POINT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE PLAN AND VARIANCE #2018-
02
Request for:
• Variance from Shoreland Code to allow impervious surface to exceed the City
Code requirement of 30%
• Site Plan Review on 23.05 acres
The applicant is requesting a variance from the Shoreland Code and a site plan review
to construct additional parking at Oak Point Elementary School. The property is
located at 13400 Staring Lake Parkway at the intersection of Anderson Lakes Parkway
and Staring Lake Parkway. The 23.05-acre property includes the school, parking, ball
fields and playground areas. The new 85-stall parking lot is proposed west of the
lower parking lot south of the school. The proposed project also includes construction
of a stormwater basin west of the new parking lot, code compliant landscape islands in
the parking lot and landscape screening on the south side to provide screening from
Staring Lake Parkway. The proposed lot will be used primarily by staff and there is an
existing sidewalk providing pedestrian access to the school. The variance from the
Shoreland Code would allow greater than 30% of the site as impervious surface.
MOTION 1: Move to close the public hearing.
MOTION 2: Move to approve Variance #2018-02 based on the staff report dated July 2,
2019 and the plans stamp dated June 28, 2019.

Tim Brown, partner and President of Schaefco Development, LLC. introduced
partner and Vice-President Dan Schaefer and presented a PowerPoint of the
application. The developer specialized in both urban and suburban residential
infill multifamily attached and detached developments. The application involved a

long and shallow one-acre property currently zoned rural. The goal was to
mitigate the onsite urban impacts of the project. Wells and septic systems would
be updated and historical uses, including a filling station, would be mitigated and
improved through creative engineering and architectural components. The soil
would be tested.
The target market was the empty-nester profile as well as the young professional
buyer attracted to an urban community. Site constraints impacted the parking,
storm water management, access, and setbacks. The housing product would be
attached twin and triplex two-story homes without basements and with two-car
garages and two-car guest parking areas. The primary living areas would be on
the second floors, accessible from the parking area via an elevator if needed in the
future. The average unit size was between 2,500 and 2,800 square feet. Brown
displayed the elevations and explained the dimensions. The site plan minimized
impacts on utility easements and the front yard setback ranged from 20 feet to 36
feet. A private below ground infiltration chamber system would handle the
stormwater. The utilities would be routed in and around the drive lane. Snow
removal would be handled by a vendor. The landscape plan included the removal
of eight significant and one heritage tree, and replacement trees along with
perennials would be planted. Included would be an integrated common seating
patio area within a landscape garden. Brown detailed the sustainable
considerations and the project’s connectivity to ADA-compliant trail systems
giving access to Miller Park. He explained the PUD request and the benefits of
this.
DeSanctis asked how deep the core sample went for the testing of low level of
diesel-range hydrocarbons and for the breakdown of specific hydrocarbons. He
wanted to be sure there was no tetraethyl lead and wished to see a detailed
environmental impact statement on the core samples. Brown offered to provide
the detailed memo prepared by the sampling vendor. Mette asked for the price
point and if this development was exclusively for a 55-plus community. Brown
replied the development was not exclusive to residents aged 55 and over but
would be marketed to any age range, and the price point ranged between
550,000.00 to 700,000.00 dollars. Iyer noted the many waivers on this medium-
density plan and asked if the number of units could be lowered. Brown replied it
was not possible to remove all the waivers due to the constraints of the site; only
the density could be altered.
Farr asked for the results of the community meeting. Brown replied eight people
attended out of the 120 invitations sent to townhome residents. The main
comments were positive. The only concern was the height of the development.
Farr asked if a more direct connection was brought up between the development
and the trail and Brown replied it was not mentioned. Farr noted the garage doors
were actually set back farther than the façades, creating a possible arched
doorway effect. He asked for context on the elevator design: if they had been built
before. Brown replied his firm had built eight developments with the capacity for
an elevator, but none had gone ahead with the elevator. It would be an enclosed

elevator. Farr asked for and receive confirmation there would be no further
topographical changes for the garages to inconvenience wheelchair access.
Klima gave the staff report. The request was for a PUD, rezoning, preliminary
plat and a site plan. There waivers requested, especially regarding the density and
the group usable open space per unit, were mostly interrelated. The setback
applied to both the buildings and the parking. These waivers therefore may not
have the impact they first appeared to have. The landscaping and tree replacement
were two separate and distinct requirements. The proposed landscaping plan met
City requirement contained extra caliper inches that could be deducted from the
tree replacement requirement. The applicant could pay cash in lieu of tree
replacement. Staff recommended approval subject to conditions listed in the staff
report.
Mette asked for the setback of the parking of the Common Bond development
across the street, and Klima replied she believed it was 15 feet for the entire
parking area, whereas in the current development only five parking stalls would
encroach upon the grassy area. DeSanctis asked what would change at the western
boundary and how this would impact the residents in that area. Brown replied the
existing treescape would be removed except for three or four and the existing
screening replaced with a higher quality product at a height of between eight and
15 feet tall. It was not possible to replace trees in certain areas. The white vinyl
fence would continue along the western boundary. Farr asked for and received
confirmation from Klima there was review of fire truck access. Farr asked if a
denser zoning district might be more appropriate. Klima replied the property
behind this development was zoned RM-6.5 so this development was
appropriately and consistently zoned. The Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning
Ordinance outlined that any density over 6.5 units per acres and up to 10 required
a PUD. Farr asked if staff had encouraged the applicant to replant with larger
caliper trees, and Klima replied staff had this conversation with the applicant;
however, there was a tipping point after which trees became too large to thrive in
the long term.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by DeSanctis to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED 7-0.
Mette commended the unique guest parking solution. She also wanted to see the
environmental review and also called for a passive vapor mitigation system
installed beneath these townhomes for radon. Brown replied these were required
by code and would be installed. DeSanctis asked for the location of the
underground pipe that connected Mitchell Lake to Red Rock Lake in relation to
this property. Rue replied the chain of lakes storm sewers were at the interchange
of County Road 4 and Highway 212.
Kirk also noted the many waivers; however, he acknowledged the site which was
one among many infill sites to come before the commission represented a
challenge. He also commended the parking solution. Kirk found the plan beautiful

and saw no improvements to be had by reducing the number of waivers; this
achieved a balance. Iyer stated his concern with the waivers involved the soil
analysis depth at which it needed to be done, considering there was a gas station
on site in the past.
Pieper asked Klima to explain the process of vetting an environmental assessment
report. Klima explained the report was reviewed by Engineering, and Building
Inspections staff. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) also
reviewed the report. A condition in the staff recommendation included having an
engineer on site during construction. Iyer commended the project and the
architecture. Farr also commended the project for its density, which he found
appropriate for this location. He stated he was comfortable with the City’s and the
State’s safeguards on the environmental impact, which was a process he had
undergone in the past. Mette concurred, saying there were several triggers that
would guide the development under the supervision of the MPCA. DeSanctis
agreed this project improved the aesthetics of this parcel of land and the soil
testing would be rigorous and further reviewed on site.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Farr to recommend approval of the Planned
Unit Development Concept Review on 1.01 acres, Planned Unit Development
District Review with waivers on 1.01 acres, Zoning District Change from Rural to
RM-6.5 on 1.01 acres, Site Plan Review on 1.01 acres and Preliminary Pat of one
lot into 11 lots on 1.01 acres based on the plan stamp-dated June 7, 2019 and staff
report dated May 7, 2019. MOTION CARRIED 7-0.
B. VARIANCE #2019-02
Location: 12580 Technology Drive
Request for variance to permit a fence height of 10 feet. City Code maximum
fence height is seven feet.
Roth Trulson, program manager Xcel Energy, presented and PowerPoint and
explained the application. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
required the height of the fence in the interest of security. Two security towers
with security camera would be installed. He showed the security fence and
lighting examples. Pieper noted the foot-candles put out by the lighting would be
quite low. Trulson replied the motion-activated lighting would be a deterrent
rather than for illumination.
Mette noted the numerous substations in Eden Prairie and asked why this was
needed. Trulson replied FERC laid out certain requirements which Xcel had to
fulfill. Mette asked if this had to do with the 5G wireless antenna approved at an
earlier Planning commission meeting. Trulson replied it did not; the two projects
were scheduled together to utilize the same resources. Iyer asked for and received
clarification this was based on federal standards and asked for the reasoning.
Trulson replied Xcel’s standard for any fence was automatically ten feet in height
due to FERC’s requirements. Xcel utilized both mesh fence and extruded fence to
delay a breach until law enforcement could arrive.

Klima gave the planner’s report. Eden Prairie City Code and building code had a
maximum but federal requirements would trump those. The recommended
approval met the three-part test as outlined by state statute: reasonable use of the
property, unique circumstances, and character of the neighborhood.
Farr asked if there was a federal mandate why any local government would have
jurisdiction over a site like this. Klima replied since there was a federal mandate
the applicant was not obligated to come before the commission but chose to give
the local government a voice in the public process.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Iyer to close the public hearing. MOTION
CARRIED 7-0.
MOTION: DeSanctis moved, seconded by Kirk to recommend approval of the
variance request #2019-02 based on information in the staff report dated June 5,
2019 and in the finding and conditions in the final order #2019-02. MOTION
CARRIED 7-0.
VI. PLANNERS’ REPORT
Klima updated the commission members on the Parks and Open Space Zoning District.
Staff held an informational meeting and 9,000 residents within 500 feet of city parks
received a notice. This request will likely be scheduled for Planning Commission review
for later in July.
Kirk asked for comments from residents. Klima replied staff fielded 50 calls and 100
residents were in attendance at the meeting. Once residents understood there were no
essential changes to parks there were no concerns with the rezoning. Independent
concerns arose which city staff were following up on individually.
Pieper asked for the use of more natural “plain language” in the City’s communications
to residents. Klima replied staff was working on refining the letter for public notice and
the City’s Development Project Map.

SUBJECT: Oak Point Elementary School Parking Lot
LOCATION: 13400 Staring Lake Parkway
APPLICANT: Anderson-Johnson Associates, Inc.
OWNER: Eden Prairie Schools
120- REVIEW September 6, 2019
REQUEST: Variance from Shoreland Code to allow impervious surface to exceed the
City Code requirement of 30%.
Site Plan Review on 23.05 acres
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval of a
variance and a site plan to build additional
parking at Oak Point Elementary School.
The property is located at 13400 Staring
Lake Parkway at the intersection of
Anderson Lakes Parkway and Staring Lake
Parkway. The 23.05-acre property includes
the school, parking, balls fields and
playground areas.
Purgatory Creek runs along the west side of
the property through a separate lot owned by
the school district. The creek corridor and
the west side of the school property is
heavily wooded. Residential uses are
located beyond the creek and the streets that
bound the school property.
The property is currently guided Public/Semi
Public. The property is currently zoned

Public. The school and associated improvements (i.e. parking lots, playgrounds, ball fields) are
consistent with zoning.
With proximity to the creek, the property is located in the Shoreland Overlay Zone. Properties within
the Shoreland are limited to 30% impervious surface coverage. The current impervious coverage on
the site is 36.4%. Since the school and subsequent additions occurred prior to the adoption of the
Shoreland Code, the site is non-conforming. The proposed addition of the parking lot will add
24,050 square feet of impervious surface. This increases the total impervious coverage on the site
after the addition of the parking to 38.74% for the 23.05 acre lot. The applicant is requesting a
variance to exceed 30%. The School District also owns a 7.96 acre lot just to the west of the school
property. If the School District combined the two lots, the percent impervious surface would be
28.78% and conform.
VARIANCE REVIEW – Variance Request #2018-02
“Practical difficulties” is a legal standard set forth in law that cities must apply when considering
applications for variances. It is a three-factor test and applies to all requests for variances. To
constitute practical difficulties, all three factors of the test must be satisfied. The three practical
difficulties include reasonableness; uniqueness; and essential character of the neighborhood is
maintained.
Reasonable use of the property - The first factor is the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonable manner. This factor means that the landowner would like to use the
property in a particular reasonable way, but cannot do so under the rules of the ordinance. The
landowner proposes to use the property in a manner consistent with the existing land use. The
proposed use is consistent with the underlying Comprehensive Guide Plan and underlying
zoning. It is reasonable to add parking to a school site. The applicant is also proposing
stormwater management for the site.
Unique circumstances - The second factor is that the landowner’s problem is due to
circumstances unique to the property not caused by the landowner. The site already exceeds the
maximum 30% impervious coverage. The school and all of the subsequent building additions
occurred prior to the adoption of the Shoreland Code in 1996. Although this project adds
impervious surface, the variance would address the existing and proposed impervious coverage
of the site. If the applicant combined the school property and the lot with the creek running
through it, the percent impervious would be conforming at 28.78%.
Essential character of neighborhood - The third factor is that the variance, if granted, will not
alter the essential character of the locality. Under this factor, consider whether the resulting
structure will be out of scale, out of place, or otherwise inconsistent with the surrounding area.
The proposed parking lot will not alter the essential character of the area. The site has existing
parking lots, which are common elements of a school property. The proposed parking lot is not

visible from Anderson Lakes Parkway and the applicant is proposing landscape plantings to
screen it from Staring Lake Parkway.
SITE PLAN
In 1993, a Site Plan was approved for the site when the School District constructed a pool addition
onto the building. This site plan would be an amendment of the already approved site plan to add the
proposed parking lot.
The school building runs generally
north and south on the site. The
site is higher in elevation along
Anderson Lakes Parkway and drops
off toward the back of the property.
Therefore, there is an upper and
lower parking lot. The bus drop off
and pick-up is in the upper parking
lot, which is on the east side of the
school. The upper parking lot
supports visitors, volunteers and
some staff. The parent drop off and
parking is in the lower parking lot,
which is on the south side of the
school. The proposed new parking
lot includes 85 parking stalls and it
is located to the west of the lower
parking lot. The new parking lot
will primarily support staff parking.
There will be two entrances to the
new parking lot from the drive used
for circulation for parent drop off.
Primarily staff will be parked
before parent drop off begins. The
parking lot includes code compliant parking lot islands and landscaping within the islands.
LANDSCAPE PLAN
The proposal includes parking lot islands with canopy trees and shrubs in compliance with City
Code. In addition, the plan includes proposed canopy trees along the perimeter of the parking lot and
a mix of evergreen trees and shrubs along the south side of the parking lot to screen it from Staring
Lake Parkway. No tree replacement is required for this project.
Staff Report – Oak Point Elementary School

SIDEWALKS
There is currently a sidewalk along the west side of the drive that provides access to the new parking
lot. The current sidewalk extends from the public sidewalk along Staring Lake Parkway to the
playground and building entrance. The sidewalk sections will be replaced where the entrances to the
new parking lot cross the sidewalk.
DRAINAGE
The applicant is proposing a stormwater basin along the west side of the proposed parking lot.
The stormwater management basin is designed to handle runoff from the new parking lot. The
applicant is working with the Riley Purgatory Creek Watershed District to obtain a permit.
LIGHTING
The proposal include four pole lights in the parking lot. The proposed lights will include LED bulbs
and the plan is code compliant.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The granting of the variance is in harmony with intent and general purposes of the ordinance and
the nature of the variance requested are consistent with the comprehensive guide plan.
Recommend approval of Variance Final Order #2018-02 subject to plans stamp dated
June 28, 2019 and contingent upon Site Plan approval.
Recommend approval of the Site Plan Review on 23.05 acres contingent upon approval of
the requested Variance Final Order #2018-02.
This is based on plans stamp dated June 28, 2019, staff report dated July 2, 2019 and the
following conditions:
1. Prior to land alteration permit issuance, the applicant shall:
A. Submit detailed storm water runoff, wetland, utility, street and erosion control
plans for review and approval by the City Engineer.
B. Submit a landscape letter of credit, or escrow surety equivalent to 150% of the
cost of the landscaping.
C. Obtain and provide documentation of Watershed District approval.
D. Notify the City and Watershed District 48 hours in advance of grading.
E. Install erosion control at the grading limits of the property for review and approval
by the City.
F. Submit a Conservation Easement over the creek, wetland and wetland buffer on
the school property for review and approval by the City.

“Practical difficulties” is a legal standard set forth in law that cities must apply when considering
applications for variances. It is a three-factor test and applies to all requests for variances. To constitute
practical difficulties, all three factors of the test must be satisfied. The three practical difficulties include
reasonableness, uniqueness, and maintained essential character of the neighborhood. Additionally the
variance demonstrates harmony with other land use controls.
1. Reasonable use of the property - The first factor is the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonable manner. This factor means that the landowner would like to use the
property in a particular reasonable way, but cannot do so under the rules of the ordinance. The
landowner proposes to use the property in a manner consistent with the existing land use. The
proposed use is consistent with the underlying Comprehensive Guide Plan and underlying zoning.
It is reasonable to add parking to a school site. The applicant is also proposing stormwater
management for the site.
2. Unique circumstances - The second factor is that the landowner’s problem is due to circumstances
unique to the property not caused by the landowner. The site already exceeds the maximum 30%
impervious coverage. The school and all of the subsequent building additions occurred prior to
the adoption of the Shoreland Code in 1996. Although this project adds impervious surface, the
variance would address the existing and proposed impervious coverage of the site. If the
applicant combined the school property and the lot with the creek running through it, the percent
impervious would be conforming at 28.78%.
3. Essential character of neighborhood - The third factor is that the variance, if granted, will not alter
the essential character of the locality. Under this factor, consider whether the resulting structure
will be out of scale, out of place, or otherwise inconsistent with the surrounding area. The
proposed parking lot will not alter the essential character of the area. The site has existing parking
lots, which are common elements of a school property. The proposed parking lot is not visible
from Anderson Lakes Parkway and the applicant is proposing landscape plantings to screen it
from Staring Lake Parkway.
The granting of the variance is in harmony with intent and general purposes of the ordinance and the
nature of the variance requested are consistent with the comprehensive guide plan.
CONDITIONS:
• Subject to the information provided in the Staff, report dated July 2, 2019 and the
following conditions:
Prior to land alteration permit issuance, the applicant shall:
A. Submit detailed storm water runoff, wetland, utility, street and erosion
control plans for review and approval by the City Engineer.
B. Submit a landscape letter of credit, or escrow surety equivalent to 150% of
the cost of the landscaping.
C. Obtain and provide documentation of Watershed District approval.
D. Notify the City and Watershed District 48 hours in advance of grading.
E. Install erosion control at the grading limits of the property for review and
approval by the City.
F. Submit a Conservation Easement over the creek, wetland and wetland buffer
on the school property for review and approval by the City.
• Subject to plans stamped “Received City of Eden Prairie dated June 28, 2019.”
• The Final Order is contingent upon Site Plan approval.

October 3, 2019
Planned Unit Development District Review on 10.05 acres
Site Plan Review on 10.05 acres
BACKGROUND
The applicant is proposing to construct
a building addition for a bus entry and
offices on the property located at 14405
62nd Street W. The property is located
south of 62nd Street W and just east of
Indian Chief Road. The site includes an
existing 100,256 square foot
maintenance garage with warehouse and
office space. Nine Mile Creek runs
along the northeast side of the property.
There are industrial uses to the south
and east and a golf course west.
The office space for SW Transit is at the
front of the building with bus
maintenance and storage in the
remainder of the building. The applicant
is proposing to add a 2,689 square foot
two-story addition onto the front of the
building. The first story is being

Existing building
Existing office
space
Proposed Addition
proposed as a bus entry, so buses can pull into the building to park and exit at the back of the
building without having to back the buses into the garage. The second story is being proposed as
office space. The future construction of the Southwest LRT, the demolition of the SouthWest Transit
corporate offices on Technology Drive, and the relocation of SouthWest Transit staff from the
corporate offices to this site creates the need for additional office space.
SITE PLAN
The building addition will be
located in front of the building in
the corner of the existing office
space and the truck washing bay.
The applicant is also proposing
to provide a paved access to the
addition. This would require a
reconfiguration of the north end
of the parking row in front of the
building and it would result in
the loss of 4 parking stalls.
PARKING
SouthWest Transit is in the
process of constructing parking
improvements that were
approved last year. The
approved plan includes 143
parking stalls on the site.
SouthWest Transit has identified
a typical business need of 115 parking stalls. During special events, the need increases to 140 to 187
Existing Office Space
Location of proposed
addition
Staff Report – SouthWest Transit Garage - Bus Entry and Office Addition

stalls because of the number of drivers needed. With the loss of 4 parking stalls with this proposed
project, there will still be 139 parking stalls on site.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS
This proposed project does not require any waivers. The parking lot improvement plan approved in
2018 included several waivers. This project is an amendment to the existing Planned Unit
Development approvals. There will be updated Exhibit B Plans referenced in the Development
Agreement reflecting the improvements proposed with this project.
BUILDING ARCHITECTURE AND MATERIALS
The existing building was built in 1986 and has a simple architectural style with precast concrete
building materials common for industrial buildings of that era. The proposed addition is more
modern and complements the existing building. The addition includes roofline variation and
varying wall planes. The existing building along with the addition meets the building material
standards. The addition will include glass, face brick, and metal panels.
LANDSCAPING
The project requires 8 caliper inches of landscaping. The applicant is proposing to add 20 caliper

Looking west at the building addition

4
inches of trees, which meets and exceeds the requirement. Tree replacement is not required for this
project.
DRAINAGE
A Stormwater Management Plan was approved with the parking lot expansion project in 2018.
Anticipating this proposed project, the stormwater management plan took into account the amount of
impervious area planned for this project. The applicant will work with the Watershed District obtain
any necessary permits.
SUSTAINABLE FEATURES
The applicant is proposing to incorporate the following sustainable features into the project:
Reuse of furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE),
Use of recycled content carper components, burnished concrete block interior areas to reduce
use of drywall, renewable resource windowsills and frames
Use of a high performance HVAC system,
Using low energy light fixtures and low-flow toilets
Consolidating staff to this location will eliminate redundancies
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommend approval of the following requests:
Planned Unit Development District Review on 10.05 acres
Site Plan Review on 10.05 acres
This is based on plans stamp dated June 11, 2019 and the following conditions:
1. Prior to the 1st reading by the City Council, the applicant shall:
A. Revise the plans to reflect the changes to the parking lot improvement plan
approved in 2018.
B. Revise the plans to more clearly show the new conservation easement boundary
that was determined based on the wetland delineation completed with the parking
lot expansion project.
