Lambert said it will be placed within the triangular area where the three sidewalks going towards the lake intersect. Butcher-Younghans then asked if there are any plans to landscape around the farmhouse there since it is in poor shape. Lambert said they have not done any assessment, but they can take it up with the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC). They prefer to leave the historic sites to the direction of the HPC. Regarding Item M, Tyra-Lukens noted the figures provided on the change orders do not add up. Thorfinnson thought there was another change order that was not referred to in the documentation. Enger said he will check it out and report back. MOTION: Butcher-Younghans moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to approve items A-M of the Consent Calendar. Motion carried 4-0. V. PUBLIC HEARINGS/MEETINGS A. EQUITABLE OFFICE BUILDING by Edenvale Partners LLC . Request for PUD Concept Review on 7.95 acres, PUD District Review on 7.95 acres, Zoning District Change from Rural to Office on 7.95 acres, and Preliminary Plat of 7.95 acres into one lot. Location: Equitable Drive. (Resolution 97-98 for PUD Concept Review, Resolution 97-99 for Preliminary Plat and Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning District Change) CITY COUNCIL MINUTES May 20, 1997 Page 4 Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on May 8, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News and mailed to 15 property owners. The site plan for this project shows the construction of a 2-story, 19,936 square foot office building on 7.95 acres, located along Equitable Drive south of Valley View Road. Tom Ryan, representing R. J. Ryan Construction, reviewed the proposal. He said they also would like to request an early grading permit prior to final plat if the Council approves the project tonight. Enger said the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this project at its May 12, 1997 meeting, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Reports of April 30 and May 9. Ryan noted they understand that there is no park dedication fee required. Lambert said that is because they are part of the original Edenvale PUD and there were no cash park fees there. Lambert said the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission unanimously recommended approval at its meeting of May 5, 1997, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report of April 30. He said the Parks Commission asked the developer to include seedless cottonwood trees around the NURP pond. There were no comments from the audience. MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to close the Public Hearing; to adopt Resolution 97-98 for PUD Concept Review on 7.95 acres; to approve lst Reading of the Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning District Change from Rural to Office on 7.95 acres; to adopt Resolution 97-99 for Preliminary Plat Approval of 7.95 acres into one lot; to direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations, and to grant the request for an early grading permit with the understanding that proponent proceeds with grading at his own risk. Motion carried 4-0. B. PAX CHRISTI CATHOLIC COMMUNITY ADDITION by Pax Christi Catholic Community. Request for PUD Concept Amendment on 24 acres, PUD District Review on 24 acres, Zoning District Amendment in the Public District on 24 acres and Site Plan Review on 24 acres for construction of a 47,000 sq.ft. addition. Location: 12100 Pioneer Trail. (Resolution 97-100 for PUD Concept Amendment and Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning District Amendment) Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on May 8, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News and mailed to 92 property owners. The site plan CITY COUNCIL MINUTES May 20, 1997 Page 5 for this project shows construction of a 47,000 square foot multi-purpose activity center building and connecting link, providing additional meeting space, nursery, activity center and youth room, plus an additional 182 parking spaces. Tim Powers, Pastor of Pax Christi Catholic Community, said they are planning two phases of build-out of the current building. The first phase will be 47,000 square feet of new space for meetings and education. John Justus, project architect, reviewed the plans. He said there are three issues: the removal of the secondary access along Pioneer Trail; reinforcement plantings between the north boundary and the new construction; and the process with the Corps of Engineers regarding the new NURP pond location. The pond will provide storm water treatment for the existing site and for part of Homeward Hills Road. The Corps has a lengthy review process, but preliminary indications are that this is the best alternative for treating storm water runoff. They are pursuing various options for mitigation with the Corps. Jerry Roth, Parish Director, said they are asking for approval to receive the building permit prior to receipt of the Corps' approval. They will commit to doing whatever the Corps recommends. At this time the Corps has suggested they don't mitigate on site and that they work with the City to find an appropriate site. Enger said the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this project at its April 28, 1997 meeting, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report of April 25. Proponent has revised the plans to incorporate the suggestions of the Planning Commission. He said the Corps of Engineers has indicated that a 1-to-1 mitigation will be required, and they are working on the options for that. Lambert said the Parks Commission unanimously recommended approval at its meeting of May 5, 1997, subject to the recommendations of the April 28 and May 1 Staff Reports. There were no comments from the audience. Butcher-Younghans said she believes Pax Christi has really served the community well. She asked if they have a long-range plan to accommodate parking needs that the growth will bring and if the parking spaces planned will keep people from parking along both sides of Pioneer Trail. Roth said this project will provide another 700 parking spaces, and they believe this will meet the current needs as well as the maximum needs. He thinks people park along Pioneer Trail because of convenience when leaving the church services; however, they do not encourage people to park along the highway and they hope the new parking spaces will alleviate the highway parking situation. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES May 20, 1997 Page 6 MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to close the Public Hearing; to adopt Resolution 97-100 for PUD Concept Amendment on 24 acres; to approve lst Reading of the Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning District Amendment in the Public District on 24 acres; and to direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations. Case asked if the motion includes the request for early grading. Enger said they are not asking for early grading but rather are asking that grading may occur prior to the Corps permit for the proposed NURP pond and the determination of where any required mitigation will occur. AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Thorfumson, to approve the request of proponent to begin grading prior to receipt of the Corps permit for the NURP pond and the mitigation recommendations. Tyra-Lukens asked if we could incur any type of liability if we pass the amendment. Enger said the Corps of Engineers' letter seems clear they are in favor of protecting the wetlands with a NURP pond and with not mitigating on site. Staff will pursue off-site mitigation. VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT: Motion carried 4-0. VOTE ON THE MOTION AS AMENDED: Motion carried 4-0. C. HOMESTEAD VILLAGE by Homestead Village, Inc. Request for PUD Concept Amendment on 11.5 acres, PUD District Review on 2.4 acres, Zoning District Amendment in the C-Reg-Ser District on 2.4 acres and Site Plan Review on 2.4 acres for construction of a 97 unit hotel. Location: Technology Drive and Highway 212. (Resolution 97-101 for PUD Concept Amendment, Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning District Amendment) 7ullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on May 8, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News and mailed to 10 property owners. The site plan for this project shows the construction of a 48,488 square foot hotel on 2.4 acres, located along Technology Drive (West 78th Street) west of Highway 212. Paul Crabtree, representing Homestead Village, reviewed the project. It will be adjacent to Fuddruckers and will have 97 units and 102 parking spaces. Enger said the Planning Commission voted 5-1 to approve this project at its April 28, 1997 meeting, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report of April 25, 1997. He said Commissioner Ismail voted against the project because he thought the ten-foot setback for the parking was inadequate to provide screening. He reviewed the seven waivers that will be required by the project. CITY COUNCIL M NUTES May 20, 1997 Page 7 Lambert said the Parks Commission unanimously recommended approval at its meeting on May 5, 1997, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report of April 25 and April 30, 1997. Tyra-Lukens asked if there is a sidewalk along the road at this location so that snow removal will be an issue. Lambert said there is no sidewalk here. There were no comments from the audience. MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to close the Public Hearing; to adopt Resolution 97-101 for PUD Concept Amendment on 11.5 acres; to approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning District Amendment in the C-Reg-Ser District on 2.4 acres; and to direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations (and Council. Motion carried 4-0. D. CODE CHANGE- TOWERS AND ANTENNAS Request for code change to amend the City Code, Section 11.03, Subdivision 6. Site Plan and Architectural Review, Section 11.02 Definitions, adding a new Section 11.06 Towers and Antennas. The proposed code changes cover regulations for the placement and height of new towers and antennas. (Ordinance 25-97 Amending Chapter 11 for Telecommunications Tower) 7ullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on May 8, 1997 in the Eden Prairie News. The initial Public Hearing for this Ordinance was conducted by the Council on April 1, 1997. Since then, the Telecommunications Task Force has met twice and has recommended some changes to the draft Ordinance pursuant to the Council's discussion on April 1. He reviewed the Ordinance changes that provide for a Site Plan Review process which includes a Public Hearing before the Planning Commission and City Council for any request for a tower over 80 feet tall, a maximum tower height of 150 feet, towers to be excluded from land zoned for residential use, a 4-to-1 setback for any tower adjacent to residential or rural properties and towers located in commercial areas to be subject to the usual setback requirements. Butcher-Younghans asked what the procedure will be for removal of obsolete towers as she did not see any reference to that in the ordinance. City Attorney Pauly said this was discussed at the last meeting of the Task Force. The consensus was that it probably is not necessary to include that because of other constraints that would occur upon termination of the tower being used. Tyra-Lukens thought there are many cases where that would be true; however, what incentive would there be if the company goes bankrupt. Pauly replied there would be no way to compel a bankrupt company to remove it without an arrangement for bond. The ordinances they looked at did not have such a condition. CITY COUNCIL.MMUTES May 20, 1997 Page 8 Butcher-Younghans was concerned because she has seen billboards that have fallen into disrepair, and she thought we could find ourselves in a similar situation with these towers. Thorfinnson thought in that case we would have our normal City codes to use to go in and take down the structure. He didn't think it would do any good to have it included in the ordinance. John Hull, 16703 Terry Pine Drive, said he manages a radio station in Chaska. He said towers do not present hazards and are very safe structures. Peter Beck, representing AT&T Wireless Service, said most of the issues they brought up have been addressed except for the 4-to-1 setback requirement for locations adjacent to residential or rural properties and the exclusion of towers from residential land. They would like to locate the towers in rural sites. He said they believe the requirement to have a City consultant check to see that the tower would not interfere with public safety puts the City into the federal area of regulation. They would prefer to deliver a letter from their radio frequency engineers that the tower will not interfere. John Barstow, 1701 E. 79th Street, representing American Portable Telecom, said they have the same concerns as Mr. Beck's. He noted that they are happy with the other changes that were made. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to close the Public Hearing. Motion carried 4-0. Case was concerned that we will be hamstrung in our efforts to meet residents' requirements and asked if we have looked at how the ordinance will affect our ability to meet the needs of our residents. Jullie said they talked about that in terms of how many towers we will end up with. He said NSP is pursuing the installation of the antennas on their towers. The industry is changing so fast it is difficult to know what this is evolving to. We have the variance process available, and we could consider amending the ordinance if we have to. Case thought much of the commercial/industrial zone will run along the highway, and he thought that is thinner than the 4-to-1 setback will provide. Jullie said some of our commercial areas are quite expansive, and that is why we reduced it from the 2-to-1 requirement to make it easier for them. Case was not sure the notification of property owners within 500 feet of the proposed site would be enough in some instances. He asked if staff could use their discretion to notify others. Jullie said staff could do that. Butcher-Younghans asked if the ordinance is similar to those in other cities in terms of the 4-to-1 setback requirement. Pauly said there is none that he is aware of that has the exact requirement. Bloomington has a 4-to-1 setback but it is limited to certain types of residential and is not as broad. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES May 20, 1997 Page 9 Thorfinnson thought we met a lot of the objections the providers had. The task force learned that this is an inexact science and no one is willing to commit to the number of towers that will be required. They had long discussions about the testing by Public Safety but they felt we need to protect our ability to communicate. MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Case, to approve 1st Reading of Ordinance 25-97 regulating telecommunications towers and antennas. Motion carried 4-0. VI. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to approve the Payment of Claims as submitted. Motion carried on a roll call vote, with Butcher-Younghans, Case, Thorfinnson, and Tyra-Lukens voting "aye." VII. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS VIII. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS A. PETITION FROM RESIDENTS OF HIDDEN GLEN NEIGHBORHOOD Jullie said residents of Hidden Ponds brought the petition with signatures that has been circulated in their neighborhood. Engineering staff has had some preliminary discussions with the residents concerning their issues, but staff would like time for more review before any decisions are made. Michael Arter, 18973 Pleasant View Road, reviewed the concerns of the neighborhood. Traffic on Dell Road goes at excessive speed rates and there are dangerous drivers who pass on the left. They have serious concerns about safety Mike Turgeon, 19197 Pleaasant View Road, said the "No Through Traffic" signs have been ignored. Brian McQuillan, 19141 Pleasant View Road, said there are many drivers who use Pleasant View Road as a cut-off. John Kuzaras, 19113 Pleasant View Road, said most of the children in the neighborhood are under ten. Many of the houses along Pleasant View are built up from the road, and kids ride bikes down the sloped driveways. He said the drivers do not pay attention as they drive through the residential neighborhood. Lana McQuillan, 19147 Pleasant View Road, said she thought we need to enforce the no through traffic rule. She asked that the road be metered again within the next three to four weeks to see if there is any increase in traffic. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES May 20, 1997 Page 10 Tyra-Lukens asked how long the no through traffic sign has been there. Dietz said he was not aware we had put one there; however he assumed it was something we did to address the issue early on. He reviewed some of the issues involved in temporarily closing the road to through traffic. LaDonna Krump, 19004 Pleasant View Road, reviewed the tally residents took of the traffic on Pleasant View Road. 97% of the license plates are Chanhassen residents. She said they are a short street that connects two major roads. Very few of the cars are going the speed limit. Arter said Pleasant View is currently designated as a residential street and there are others that are designated as collector streets within 1-1/2 miles down Dell Road. He thought it was reasonable to expect the traffic to use the collector street. Case said he would like to get a report back from staff on this. He thanked the residents for coming tonight and said he appreciated their open-minded, problem-solving attitude. He thought there are some short-term solutions available. Arter asked what the time frame is. Dietz said they would plan to have a report back at the next Council meeting. Case said the Council would be able to make a decision at that time. Tyra-Lukens thought this is an isolated case but it may reoccur in other areas in the next five years. We may need to develop some kind of policy to handle similar situations. Butcher-Younghans wondered how we would close it, and what effect there would be for emergency vehicles. She visited the site recently, and she understands what the residents mean about the through traffic and the speeds. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to refer this matter to Staff for completion of the monitoring of traffic counts on Pleasantview Road, and for preparation of a Feasibility Study regarding a temporary closing of Pleasantview Road. Motion carried 4-0. B. COMMUNICATION FROM EDEN PRAIRIE 1997 RELAY FOR LIFE Mary Mach and Jenny Brown, representing the 1997 Relay for Life event, presented a video about the Relay for Life and reviewed the programs that are provided in the event. They asked the Council for suggestions as to how they can publicize the event. Tyra-Lukens asked if they have talked to the service groups at the High School. Brown said they tried but it is very difficult to contact them. They are trying to develop community awareness of the event. CITY COUNCIL M NUTES May 20, 1997 Page 11 Tyra-Lukens suggested that individual Councilmembers contact them with any ideas. Thorfinnson asked if there will be a community newsletter going out before July 25th. Jullie said there may be one before that time. Thorfinnson asked staff to work it into the newsletter if that is possible. Tyra-Lukens asked if they have contacted the local cable channel. Brown said they are sending them a tape. Tyra-Lukens thanked them for their presentation. IX. REPORTS OF ADVISORY BOARDS & COMMISSIONS X. APPOINTMENTS A. RECOMMENDATION FOR THE REAPPOINTMENT OF DELAYAN DYE TO THE RILEY-PURGATORY-BLUFF CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT BOARD OF MANAGERS FOR A 3-YEAR TERM .COMMENCING TULY 30, 199 Jullie said Mr. Dye is requesting the City Council recommend to the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners his reappointment to the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District Board of Managers for a 3-year term commencing July 30, 1997. MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to send a letter to the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners recommending the reappointment of Delavan Dye to the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District for a 3-year term commencing July 30, 1997. Motion carried 4-0. B. CONFIRM THE APPOINTMENT OF JEFFREY BAUER AS THE FLYING CLOUD BUSINESS ASSOCIATION REPRESENTATIVE TO FILL AN UNEXPIRED TERM ON THE FLYING CLOUD AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMISSION Jullie said due to the resignation of Marjorie Bundgaard as the Flying Cloud Business Association Representative, the Flying Cloud Business Association has assigned Jeffrey Bauer to take her place. MOTION: Butcher-Younghans moved, seconded by Case, to confirm Jeffrey Bauer as the Flying Cloud Business Association Representative to fill an unexpired term on the Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission for a term to expire March 31, 1998. Motion carried 4-0. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES May 20, 1997 Page 12 XI. REPORTS OF OFFICERS A. REPORTS OF COUNCILM EMBERS 1. Brief Report on South Hennepin Regional Planning Agency (SHeRPA) Butcher-Younghans said they recently had the ribbon-cutting ceremony for their Resource Center here at City Hall. She said the group works to understand the community needs and to connect to the various services, thereby filling the gap between needs and services. B. REPORT OF CITY MANAGER 1. Discussion on Changing Start Time of Workshop Scheduled for Tuesday, May 27, 1997 Jullie asked Councilmembers if they would be willing to change the time to 5:30 p.m. so that we can have extra time if it is needed. Tyra-Lukens asked if the proposed times would be 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. Jullie said that is correct. Thorfinnson thought it would be more productive to start earlier to make sure we don't run until 10:30 or 11:00. The consensus was to change the start time to 5:30 p.m. C. REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF PARKS, RECREATION &NATURAL RESOURCES 1. F13,ing Cloud Field Improvements Update and Recommendation Lambert said on March 4th the Council approved accepting proposed donations from the Soccer Association and Baseball Association for improvements at the Flying Cloud ballfields. Staff met with the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) staff to review the plan. He said they tentatively support that concept, but they reminded staff that we are aware their plan for expansion has not received final approval and will not until the EIS is completed. Consequently, we might waste money putting an imgation system into the fields. Staff returned to the Parks Commission last night for their suggestions, and they still recommend proceeding with the irrigation system and the road system around the perimeter. Case asked about the implications of the F.A.A. policy that states no airport land can be used for facilities such as this. Lambert said MAC CITY COUNCIL MINUTES May 20, 1997 Page 13 staff said that policy would not affect the Flying Cloud ballfields. If their expansion plan is approved, they have no use for this land as they will be building additional hangars on the south side of the property. Case asked if this would not prohibit a golf course in Zone B lands. Lambert said that is correct. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to approve the recommendations for pursuing improvements of the Flying Cloud Field playfields as per the Staff Agenda Report of May 20, 1997. Motion carried 4-0. D. REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT E. REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS F. REPORT OF CITY ATTORNEY XII. OTHER BUSINESS XIII. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried 4-0. Acting Mayor Tyra-Lukens adjourned the meeting at 9:30 p.m.
