Order Improvements and Preparation of Plans and Specifications, I.C. 52-203 Street and Utility Improvements on Staring Lane and Ridge Road Resolution No. 91-62: Jullie said official notice for the public hearing was properly published in the Eden Prairie News and a copy of the feasibility report was mailed to the property owners involved in the project. There also had been a neighborhood informational meeting held to review the proposed improvements. • • City Council Minutes 4 March 19, 1991 Alan Gray, City Engineer, explained the project by the use of maps and charts. He said the estimated assessment to each property in the project area was $7,792 for the street improvements; $3,047 for the water mains, and $3,270 for the sewer, for a total of $14,109. He also pointed out if parcels had potential to be divided into two or more units, those properties would be assessed more than others. However, the extra assessments would not be levied until development actually took place. He said the assessment for the street improvements would be levied in the fall of 1991. If a property had a working well and septic system, the assessments for the sewer and water would be levied at the time of hook-up or in 1997 at the latest. Other costs to be paid to the City for hooking up to the system would be approximately $1700. Connection costs which would be paid to a plumbing contractor would range from $1500-$3,000. He said the tentative schedule for the project would be to open bids on June 17, 1991, award the contract on June 18, 1991, with the contractor proceeding immediately after that date. A special assessment hearing would be held in September 1991, with final completion scheduled for July 1992. Bill Gloede, 9141 West Staring Lane, spoke in favor of the project • with a reservation about the storm sewer. He said he would like the City to find an alternative to draining both sides of the road on to his property. Gray said that it was possible there would be a storm sewer installed to the west in the Sunrise area and possibly an outlet could be developed at that location. Yvonne Hargens, 9060 West Staring Lane, spoke in favor of the project. However, she was concerned about being assessed for three lots as there were no plans to develop the lots. Dietz said that because of the way the law was written, all possible assessments had to be included at the time the project was approved. They could be removed at a later date, but not added. This was the reason for showing these assessments. Dan Lindholm, 9271 E. Staring Lane, spoke against the water and sewer portion of the project. He said he did not need the improvements because he had a working well and septic system. He also suggested a tar road in the area would be sufficient. LeRoy Heitz, 9281 E. Staring Lane, said he was opposed to the project on the basis of costs. He did not believe the costs would benefit the property or the City. Ron Ostman, 15080 Ridge Road, spoke in opposition to the project because he had had no difficulty with his present septic and water systems. • • City Council Minutes 5 March 19, 1991 Olina Floro, 9148 E. Staring Lane, spoke in opposition to the entire project. She said she did not believe she would be able to recover the costs in the future, and added that her water and septic system were working sufficiently. Pat Hartell, 9140 W. Staring Lane, spoke in opposition to the project. She said her property had good well and septic systems and believed the gravel road was adequate. She believed that there were too few people being served for the money involved, and encouraged the Council to wait before installing the improvements. Mike Brown, 9021 W. Staring Lane, spoke in favor of the project. He said he believed it was time for the improvements to be installed and believed the costs would be higher in the future. Wendell Owens, 9041 E. Staring Lane, spoke in favor of the project. He said he believed a better road was needed because water runoff in the area. Pat Bower, a resident of Chanhassen who owns one lot in the project area at 9150 E. Staring Lane, said he was concerned about attempting to sell the lot with the improvement project pending. He said the assessments were a negative for selling the property but he • also saw a benefit in the improvements. Gayle Olson, 9051 E. Staring Lane, said he believed the project was necessary and stressed the need for fire protection in the area. He was concerned about this because of the road deterioration. Linda Krepsbach, 9080 E. Staring Lane, said she was in favor of the project. Steve Herbst, 9040 E. Staring Lane, said he was basically opposed to the project, but would like to see a petition stating who was in favor of the project and who was against it. He suggested putting blacktop on the road instead of the entire street improvements. He said would be willing to favor the majority decision. Ray Campbell, 9081 E. Staring Lane, asked about the time period for paying the assessments. Dietz explained the assessment for street improvements would be paid over 20 years. If he property owner did not connect to City utilities, the utility assessments would be levied in 1997 for a period -of 15 years. He also pointed out that principal and interest payments would go down over the years because simple interest on the unpaid balance was charged. Dean Olson, 14980 Ridge Road, spoke in opposition to the project because he had a working well and septic system and believed City utilities were unnecessary. Also, he did not see a need for an • improved road. • City Council Minutes 6 March 19, 1991 Carl Hartell, 9140 W. Staring Lane, pointed out that this was basically a tax increase and could become $40,000 with interest by the time it was paid. He also said that the balance must be paid at the time of the sale of the property, which could be detrimental to a sale. Roy Jaszczak, 15081 Ridge Road, said he was opposed to the project. Kristi Olson, 14980 Ridge Road, said she was opposed to the project because her plans were to sell the property in two years and this assessment would mean loss of money to her. Letters were also received from the following citizens: Douglas L. and Judith I. Olsen, 9030 W. Staring Lane in opposition to the project; Roger and Jeanene Bloom, 9190 W. Staring Lane in opposition to the project; Steve Pederson, 9150 E. Staring Lane in favor of the project; and Jerome Johnson, 15131 Ridge Road in favor of the project. There were no further comments from the audience. Harris said she believed the question on the project was when it would be done. She said it would ultimately be done. • Pidcock said she was concerned with the health and safety issues in the neighborhood without the improvements. Anderson said he believed the project was necessary because of the health and safety issues with septic tanks. Jessen said he believed the improvements were reasonable at this time. MOTION Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, to close the public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 91-62. Harris said she was persuaded to vote for the project at this time by the health and safety issue. Tenpas said he believed the project was inevitable but would favor waiting on the project. For this reason he would vote no on the project. Motion approved 4-1 with Tenpas voting Nay. B. Cub Foods. Request of Super Valu Stores, Inc. for Zoning District Change from R1-22 and PUB to C-Reg-Ser on 9.81 acres with variances to be reviewed by the Board of Appeals; Site Plan Review on 9.81 acres; Adoption of Resolution 91-39, Preliminary Plat of 11.57 acres into 1 lot, outlot and road right-of-way for construction of a • 73,000 square-foot building to be known as Cub Foods. Location: Northwest corner of 78th Street and Prairie Center Drive, south of • City Council Minutes 7 March 19, 1991 Leona Road. (Resolution 91-39, Preliminary Plat; Ordinance 6-91, Zoning District Change.) Continued from February 19, 1991. Jullie said official notice for the public hearing was published in the February 7, 1991 issue of Eden Prairie News and mailed to 26 property owners in the project area. Pat Groeper, representing Super Valu Stores, Inc., presented the details of the project with the use of maps and drawings. She explained that the store would face the west. The plan was for 444 parking places and the building, including the loading dock, would be 73,000 square feet. She said the proponent was seeking a variance from the City Code to allow a building that covered a Base Area Ratio of 2.37% as compared to the City Code of 2%. The proponent was also seeking a variance on signage and was requesting 493 square feet of signage compared to 325 feet of signage allowed by City Code. Another variance requested was for a front-yard setback in order to accommodate the enclosed docks in the back of the building. A variance was also requested to permit an impervious surface area on the site plan because of the shoreline management policy. A variance from the standard 30% would be needed. • Enger said staff had been working with the proposal for over a year and gave a brief history of the project. There had been controversy over the extension of Leona Road. Currently Cub was suggesting that it would pay for the extension of the road and for any assessment costs related to the site. He said the Planning Commission had recommended approval at its January 28, 1991 meeting on a 5-0 vote subject to staff recommendations of the January 25, 1991 staff report. He said the variances requested, except for the sign variance, had been precipitated by the response to the enclosure of the loading dock. Lambert sand the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission reviewed the proposal at its February 5, 1991 meeting and recommended approval on a 4-0 vote. Harris asked Enger if the potential conflict with Highway 494 improvements had been resolved. Enger said that the project would not be in conflict with the highway plans. Pidcock asked if there would be problems with the trucks turning around in the area. Deitz replied that the turning radius was adequate. Gary Gandrud, of Faegre and Benson Law Firm, representing Minnesota Protective Life, said that his client was concerned about traffic patterns in the area, and about the extra traffic which would • be generated by the new Cub Foods store. He encouraged Council to • City Council Minutes 8 March 19, 1991 delay the project until a traffic study had been done and the traffic problems addressed. James O'Neill, 4401 Eastwood Road, Minnetonka, property manager and leasing agent for Minnesota Protective Life, said because of the dangerous traffic patterns in the area Minnesota Protective Life had three problems with its building: (1) Tenant retention; (2) Attracting prospective tenants; (3) Employee turnover. He said the problems were caused by the traffic problems with a dangerous intersection. He encouraged the City to work with the State to resolve the problem. Mike Cochran, representing Minnesota Protective Life, said his concern was retention of company employees. He said ease of access was very important to employees and he was concerned that the extra traffic generated by the project would make the situation worse. He encouraged proper traffic studies be done for this area. Tenpas requested an update on the situation from Dietz. Dietz said the City expected to meet with MnDOT on the situation in early April. He said that it was a technical problem with the spacing between Leona Road and 78th Street because MnDOT required larger spacing for a traffic signal than that which existed. MnDOT favored a signal • at 78th Street rather than at Leona Road because of the spacing. He said he believed the project plans would help improve access for Minnesota Protective Life and the total area. Enger said the traffic study referred to in the staff report was a study commissioned by the City on May 3, 1990, when the Cub proposal was first made to the City. The traffic study was done on a higher square footage at that time, and a new study had not been commissioned because the traffic count went down by 1,000 trips a day with the present project. The study showed that only 10% of the trips would go out Leona Road to Highway 169. He said that he believed that if there were another way out, people would take it, and that was what the proposed road system was planned to do. Jullie said he had a meeting set up with MnDOT for April 8, 1991 in an attempt to resolve the situation. In the meantime, the City would do further study of the traffic situation. Tenpas assured the representatives of Minnesota Protective Life that the City would aggressively pursue correction of the situation with MnDOT and the City would keep Minnesota Protective Life informed of the progress. Sidney Pauly, 17450 W. 78th Street, said other projects had been turned down at this site in the past because of traffic problems. • She said because it was a unique site with views of several lakes, she would prefer an office or apartment building on the site. She pointed out the traffic generated by an office building or an City Council Minutes 9 March 19, 1991 apartment building would not be as great as that generated by a grocery store. Bill Barth, representing Prairie Presbyterian Church, said the Church was concerned about traffic and encouraged Council to find a solution. He requested that the Church be informed of the progress of the plans. Peter Beck, 7900 Xerxes Avenue South, representing ITT Hartford, owner of the Prairie Lakes Business Park, said the company was concerned that provision had not been made for drainage of the site. Hartford had been contacted by City staff about the possibility of drainage on Lot 1, Block 1, of the business park. He said the issue was whether or not drainage on to the Hartford site would adversely affect the development potential of the balance of the business park. He said Hartford would like to see a feasibility study so its engineers could investigate the situation. There were no further comments from the audience. Anderson said he was concerned about the drainage situation and how it would affect Anderson Lake. He said he was impressed with the plans the proponent had presented but questioned whether it • was the best use of the site. Pidcock said she would like more information on the traffic and suggested continuing the issue until that information could be obtained. Jessen said he believed the best use of the site would be an office building. However, because it was unlikely that an office building would be proposed for the site after the office building boom of the 1980's, he would approve the Cub store because of the excellent plan Super Valu had presented. Harris said she was more concerned about the traffic generated by the project. However, she agreed with Jessen that it was unlikely that an office building would be built on the site. She said she would vote in favor of the project. Tenpas said he liked the plan presented by the proponent and wished to encourage economic development in the community. He also said he believed the people• of the community would benefit from another grocery store in the City. He expressed concern about the traffic problems and said he would like a disposition on the traffic signal issue before second reading. Tenpas suggested someone from the Council and the Police Department meet with the State about getting a light at Leona Road. • • City Council Minutes 10 March 19, 1991 MOTION Pidcock moved to close the public hearing and approve first reading of Ordinance No. 6-91 for Rezoning. Seconded by Harris. Motion approved 4-1 with Anderson voting nay. MOTION Pidcock moved to adopt Resolution No. 91-39 for Preliminary Plat Approval, to direct staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and staff recommendations, and that Council receive a plan for the traffic situation before second reading. Seconded by Harris. Motion approved 4-1 with Anderson voting nay. C. Timber Lake Drive Townhomes. Request of the Pemtom Company for Zoning District Amendment within the RM-2.5 Zoning District on 2.11 acres with variances to be reviewed by the Board of Appeals; Site Plan Review on 2.11 acres for construction of 16 townhouse units in 4 buildings to be known as Timber Lake Drive Townhomes. Location: Northeast corner of Timber Lake Drive and Island Road. (Ordinance 8-91, Zoning District Amendment). • Jullie said notice for this public hearing was properly published and mailed regarding this project. Dan Herbst, representing the Pemtom Company, reviewed the project plans. He said the project had received favorable response from the neighborhood, City staff, and Board of Appeals. There were four undeveloped sites in the project area and the proposal was for sixteen homes, four on each site, to be built. Enger said the Planning Commission reviewed the request at its January 28, 1991 meeting and recommended approval on a 4-0-1 vote, with one abstention, subject to staff recommendations of January 25, 1991. Jane Egge, 7912 Timber Lake Drive, said she was concerned that one of the proposed buildings would block the view to the lake from her home. She said she had originally paid a premium on her unit for a view of the lake and she was concerned that her property value could be lowered by the loss of this view. She was also concerned that the new buildings would be designed differently with different outside materials so the new design would not be compatible with the older units. She said she believed that the sixteen new units would create more traffic congestion in the area. Mark Weber, 7966 Timber Lake Drive, said he had attended the • Planning Commission meeting when the project was reviewed. There had been discussion about changing the location of the building so City Council Minutes 11 March 19, 1991 as not to block the lake view, and that the design of the new buildings be compatible with the existing buildings. He pointed out that these issues had not been mentioned in Pemtom's presentation to Council. Herbst said plans had always shown a building to be placed in this location. The plans had been changed to accommodate the view of the lake for existing units, but there would still be some obstruction with the addition of the new building. He said some design changes had been made to accommodate the concerns of the Board of Directors of the Association. He said the Board of Directors had instructed Pemtom to use maintenance-free siding. There were no further comments from the audience. MOTION Harris moved to close the public hearing, approve Ordinance No. 8-91 for Rezoning, and direct the staff to prepare development agreement incorporating Commission and staff recommendations. Seconded by Pidcock. Motion approved 5-0. • D. Fairview Medical Health Clinic of Eden Prairie. Request by Fairview Hospital and Healthcare Services for Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from Industrial to Office on 7.3 Acres; Adoption of Resolution 91-58, Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment on 17.4 acres; Zoning District Change from Rural and I-2 to Office on 2.9 acres; Site Plan Review on 2.9 acres for construction of a 15,200 square-foot medical health care clinic to be known as Fairview medical Health Clinic of Eden Prairie. Location: East of Prairie Center Drive and south of Technology Drive. (Resolution 91-58, Resolution 91-66, PUD Concept Amendment; Ordinance 9-91, Zoning District Change). Jullie said that notice for this public hearing had been properly published and mailed to property owners in the project area. Ray Piiarainen, Assistant Property Director for Fairview Hospital and Healthcare Services, said the request was for approval of a 15,200 square-foot single-story medical office building on Lot One, Block Two of the DataSery Business Center. He said Fairview was attempting to accommodate a number of issues including access to Prairie Center Drive. He said Fairview had looked at ways to accommodate temporary access until the intersection was completed in 1993. He said August 15, 1991 was the target opening date for the building and the primary care clinic. • Enger said the Planning Commission at its February 25, 1991, had recommended approval of the project on 5-0-1 abstention vote subject to recommendations of the January 25, 1991 staff report. • City Council Minutes 12 March 19, 1991 MOTION At 11:00 PM Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson, to extend the meeting 30 minutes. Motion approved 5-0. Jim Hawkins, representing DataServ, Inc., said DataSery objected to the cross-access easements. He said that DataSery had not been informed of this situation by the City. He said he believed the rerouting of traffic through the DataSery property would jeopardize the safety of DataSery employees. He believed Fairview should develop its own entry way and requested that the Council continue the item for two weeks to allow DataSery more time to discuss the issue with Opus, the owner of the property. Enger said the City did not believe two separate accesses would be a good plan. He also pointed out that DataSery had only a right-in, right-out access, and Fairview had offered to pay for the temporary median cut until the State provided the permanent cut. He said he believed Fairview would enhance the Opus/DataSery site in this way and that the Planning Department had always dealt with Opus. Jessen noted that DataServ's concerns were tenant/landlord issues it had with Opus, and were not within the purview of the City • regarding the Fairview proposal. Bob Worthington, representing Opus Corporation, said he believed it was essential to receive a decision from Council as soon as possible as the proponent wished to begin construction April 1. He it was not the intention of Opus to pass any costs for improvements on to DataSery in order to accommodate Fairview. There were no further comments from the audience.
