SETTLERS RIDGE by Pemtom Land Company. Request for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 58.95 acres, Planned Unit Development District Review on 58.95 acres, Rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 and R1-9.5 on 58.95 acres and Preliminary Plat on 58.95 acres into 117 lots and 4 outlots. Location: South of Pioneer Trail and west of Riley Creek. (Resolution 98-34 for PUD Concept Review, Ordinance for PUD District Review and Rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 and R1-9.5 and Resolution 98-35 for Preliminary Plat) Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on February 5, 1998 in the Eden Prairie News and notices were mailed to 32 property owners. The concept plan shows the subdivision of 58.95 acres into 117 lots at a gross density of 1.98 units per acre. The net density, exclusive of Outlot E, is 2.21 units per acre. Three types of homes are included in the concept plan, including 35 standard R1-13.5 lots along Riley Creek and the City Park to the south, 36 standard R1-9.5 lots, and 46 R1-9.5 lots with waivers for lot size and street frontage. Mark Anderson, Vice President of Land Development for Pemtom, requested this item be moved down on the agenda because several of their representatives had not arrived yet. The consensus was to table this item to a later point on the Agenda. B. BORDERS BOOKS, CAFE & RESTAURANT by The Daly Group. Request for Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment on 9 acres to the overall Hartford PUD, Planned Unit Development District Review on 9 acres, Zoning District Amendment within the C-Reg-Ser Zoning District on 9 acres, Site Plan Review on 9 acres, and Preliminary Plat of 9 acres into 2 lots and 1 outlot. Location: Southwest corner of Prairie Center Drive and Rolling Hills Road. (Resolution 98-36 for PUD Concept Amendment, Ordinance for PUD CITY COUNCIL MMMS February 17, 1998 Page 4 District Review and Zoning District Amendment and Resolution 98-37 for Preliminary Plat) Jullie said the official notice of this Public Hearing was published on February 5, 1998 in the Eden Prairie News and notices were mailed to 135 property owners. John Dietrich, project engineer, said they are asking for full approval of the restaurant and the book store, as presented in the Staff Report of January 23, 1998 according to Alternative One which indicates that the site plan has met the criteria of PUD Amendment. He reviewed the site plan, noting they are requesting a right-in, right-out off Prairie Center Drive that will handle 1/3 of the average daily traffic for this development. Enger said this site is part of Lots 12 and 13 of the approved 1978 Hartford PUD. Future uses contemplated for this area by the 1978 plan included restaurants, motels and professional offices. The PUD was amended in the 1994 Hartford Place PUD to show Lot 13 as wetland, ponding and a buffer zone. The approved plan for Lot 12 was not amended. The 1994 PUD did not include a specific plan for development nor indicate permitted uses. Enger said the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the Borders Bookstore at their January 26, 1998 meeting. They voted 7-0 to recommend denial of the restaurant on the finding that the site plan was inconsistent with the 1978 approved plan, that the proposed plan did not mitigate the adverse impacts on the adjoining residential areas and that general retail or office was a more compatible land use. The Commission recommended that all proposed berming and landscaping adjacent to the residential areas on both sites be installed concurrent with the construction of the bookstore. The Parks Commission did not review the project Linda Schaeffer, 11538 Carriage Court, was very excited about the Borders Bookstore but didn't want a restaurant of this size with a liquor license in her backyard. She said they can't block out traffic sounds and smells with berms. She was concerned about an increase in crime. The restaurants proposed offer outdoor seating and use loud speakers to announce table seating. She thought there has to be another place in Eden Prairie for that type of restaurant and would like to see a strip mall or something unique to go with the bookstore. She was also concerned about the increase in traffic volume on Prairie Center Drive if a restaurant of this size is put in here. She was sure that property values would go down. Gretchen Ebert, 11516 Carriage Court, thought it is inappropriate to put a restaurant with a liquor license on this location. The noise from the restaurant will come across the pond to her area, and there is no increased berming planned between the restaurant and the Carriage Court homes. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 17, 1998 Page 5 Richard Tesh, 8484 Minuteman Alcove, did not want a restaurant in his front yard. He knew the property would be developed when he purchased his home, and he likes the Borders Bookstore. He is concerned about the restaurant and wanted the developer to know that none of the residents in the area want the restaurant there. Penny Hanson, 11043 Lexington Drive, said there is no fence or berm planned in her area. She asked if there could be a fence built through the whole development. Nancy Francis, 11536 Carriage Court, said her developer assured her that the wetlands would never be touched and that a two-three story office building would go in there. She doesn't want a bar or restaurant in her backyard. Don Klingel, 10940 Kiawah Drive, asked if there will be a sidewalk or bike path from Preserve Boulevard to Rolling Hills Drive. Dietrich replied there will be a continuation of the sidewalk along the south side from Preserve Boulevard to the sidewalk at Hartford Place townhomes. Andrea Poncius, 8486 Minuteman Alcove, did not support the restaurant. She has told Mr. Dietrich several times that the landscaping between Minuteman Alcove and borders was not adequate. Before tonight's meeting she received a phone call that a five-foot high fence would be added to the project. She did not think a five-foot high fence will be adequate. Sharon Ahl, 11594 Carriage Court, said the developer has only responded to the residents' concerns about the restaurant by some additional landscaping and a fence. She was concerned that this property should have something built on it that will add to the specialness of the area. She wanted to make sure the Planning Commission's suggestion that all the landscaping be done at one time even if the restaurant is not approved is followed through. She thought the easement of the wetland should be dedicated to the City. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to close the Public Hearing. Motion carried 4-0. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to approve lst reading of the Ordinance for PUD District Review as to Lot 1 and Zoning District Amendment within the C-Reg-Ser Zoning District as to Lot 1; to adopt Resolution 98-36 for PUD Concept Amendment as to Lot 1; to adopt Resolution 98-37 for Preliminary Plat of 9 acres into 2 lots and 1 outlot; to direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations as to Lot 1; and to continue the discussion of Lot 2 to the April 7, 1998 City Council meeting. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 17, 1998 Page 6 Butcher-Younghans was surprised to see a restaurant included in this plan considering the opposition of the neighbors and the Planning Commission decision. She was very pleased with the Borders Bookstore plan, but she could not accept the restaurant plan as it stands right now. Case was concerned that one view of the bookstore shows the corner very close to the patios of the nearby homes. He would like to continue the fence but would prefer to have proponent work with Staff and the residents to see what would be compatible. Dietrich said two of the cross sections shown are not correct, and there is a berm and a retaining wall in there. Dietrich said they would be willing to take a look_at extending the fence from the southeast corner of the store along the berm but would not recommend putting a fence along the side of the store. Case wanted to have Staff meet with the residents and the developer to discuss these issues. He is always concerned about zoning transitions and we will face this more often as we have sensitive commercial areas that abut residential areas. He thought we will need to be careful to look at what it would take to develop the commercial areas and stay within the expectations of the residents. He thought a restaurant that stays open until 2:00 a.m. and has a liquor license is not appropriately placed next to a residential area. Case concurred that the easement should be deeded over to the City. He asked if we would mitigate the wetland. Dietz thought there probably is a possibility to expand the wetland somewhat, but he didn't know if it would be worth the expense. Dietrich noted this was mitigated in 1994 and is probably maxed out. Tyra-Lukens asked about the issue of the landscaping being done at the same time. Dietrich said they would want to look at deferring the landscaping on Lot 2 because if, the restaurant is not approved, there will be some other type of development. They need to look at this with Staff. If it is developed retail it could be twice as large as the restaurant, and there would need to be a coordinated building/landscaping plan. Case thought there are phases that are acceptable. He would be comfortable if Staff was involved in the issue. Thorfinnson thought we can ask for the berm to be built and in place before Lot 2 is developed. VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried 4-0. A. SETTLERS RIDGE by Pemtom Land Company. Request for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 58.95 acres, Planned Unit Development District Review on 58.95 acres, Rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 and R1-9.5 on 58.95 acres and Preliminary Plat on 58.95 acres into 117 lots and 4 outlots. Location: South of Pioneer Trail and west of Riley Creek. (Resolution 98-34 for PUD Concept Review, Ordinance for PUD District Review and Rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 and R1-9.5 and Resolution 98-35 for Preliminary Plat) CITY COUNCIL MUN I ES February 17, 1998 Page 7 Dan Herbst, representing Pemtom Land Company, apologized for their tardiness. He said they are proposing three distinct neighborhoods to be built on the 59-acre site just west of Bearpath. Dwight Jelle, Westwood Professional Services, reviewed the site characteristics. He said they worked with the State Historical Society regarding some of the Indian mounds, and they have had the State Archeologist review the project and their plans to avoid the mounds. They might end up moving two lots if mounds are found there. Trails are proposed along Street A and connect to the City park. Pete Berge and Mark Anderson, from Lundgren Brothers, reviewed the landscaping, the three neighborhoods proposed, and the Homeowners Association proposed. Enger said the Planning Commission reviewed the project at their January 12, 1998 meeting, and recommended on a 7-0 vote approval of the request, subject to the recommendation that Staff, the developer and the neighbors work to provide a separate point of automobile access to the development. He said the Commission was also concerned about protection for the Indian mounds if the State Archeologist determines they exist within the development. They recommended snow fencing around the mounds to provide physical limitations during construction, placing a type of conservation easement on them, and clearly mark them so that people can determine where they are and know that they are protected by State law. In addition the wetland in back of Lots 7-14 should be fully delineated. Lambert said the Parks Commission reviewed the project at their January 5, 1998 meeting and recommended approval on a 6-1 vote. They recommended that the wetlands be put in an Outlot and be dedicated to the City. They were concerned about the impact preservation of the Indian mounds would have on the rear lot runoff collection system. They will have to determine how that will work when they get the decision on the mounds. The Engineering Staff should be satisfied that the bluff and Riley Creek are protected from erosion by adequate erosion control techniques. He said the developer was not comfortable putting the wetlands in an outlot. One alternative would be to have the wetland put into an outlot with a conservation easement on it and allow the outlot to remain in the Homeowners Association ownership. They were concerned about potential problems if the rear lot extends into a wetland. Lambert noted the dissenting vote was a Commissioner who was concerned about the recommendation to force the developer to give the Outlot to the City. Dietz said there are implications regarding the extension of the utilities and asked Alan Gray to review those. He said we will have to do a Feasibility Study to develop a plan for constructing and assessing utilities to this area. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 17, 1998 Page 8 Alan Gray reviewed what would need to be done to provide sanitary sewer and water service to this area and which properties would be affected. If the Feasibility Study is approved, they would proceed with the study and come back to the Council with a specific proposal at a Public Hearing that would detail the project, costs for the improvements, and how it would be pro-rated and financed. There were no comments from the audience. Case was concerned about the marking of the burial mounds. While he would prefer to have the outlot dedicated to the City, he was okay with the idea of putting it into an outlot owned by the Homeowners Association. The wetland needs to be demarcated so it is entirely within the easement. Carsonite markers should be put in the middle of the lot line for Lots 9 and 10 and he would like to see them placed along the entire bluff line. Case said he would encourage their proposed use of Chaska brick because we have six or seven historic homes that are built of Shakopee and Chaska bricks throughout the city. He encouraged proponent to take suggestions about road names from the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC). He was concerned that there was no mention that the HPC reviewed this proposal but he knows that they did review it on December 15, 1997, and he would like to see a paragraph or so included in Staff Reports indicating that the HPC reviewed the project and what their recommendations were. Butcher-Younghans thought this is a remarkable piece of property. She commended the developer for the work they did with the State Archeological office and for their concern for the cultural resources as well as the natural resources. She wanted to make sure that the mounds are protected during the grading. She noted that the mound alternative plan shows house building pads coming fairly close to the mounds, and she feels very strongly about having a reasonable buffer zone for the mounds. It is important to make sure people know where the mounds are, and she would like to attach something to the legal documents that would transmit the obligation to protect these mounds. She noted the American Indian Advisory Council does not accept putting up statements that designate burial mounds. Thorfinnson understood that if they determine there are burial mounts, there would be two lots pulled out, so he thought they have already taken into consideration a reasonable amount of space. Tyra-Lukens asked if there will be sidewalks in addition to the trail planned for the south side of Streets A and B. Dietrich said there would not be. Lambert said there will be an eight-foot trail on the south side of Street A all the way through the development and on the south side of Street B. There are none along the cul-de-sac nor on Street F. Tyra-Lukens asked if it is unusual to not CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 17, 1998 Page 9 have sidewalks in the development. Lambert said trails or sidewalks are put on through streets but not on cul-de-sacs. Tyra-Lukens noted Streets E and F will go through at some point. Lambert said Street F might be one that should have a sidewalk. Tyra-Lukens asked if that is generally done retroactively. Lambert said the decision should be made now if the Council wants one on Streets E and F. Case agreed that a trail on the south side of Streets E and F would be a minimum, and he was surprised that they didn't put sidewalks on both sides as an amenity and an attraction for the empty-nester market. He thought it would also make sense from the perspective of the City's trail system. Tyra-Lukens thought the issue of the second entry was left hanging at the end of the Planning Commission proceedings. She asked what proponent has done since January 2nd. Herbst said they met with the property owners again. There is a haul road on the property to the west owned by Tom Zwiers. Because of the site restrictions Hennepin County frowned on any other access except that one. He thought we can come to an agreement with Mr. Zwiers, and he hopes to be able to come back before final plat with something worked out on the Dorenkemper property. Tyra-Lukens asked if these would be permanent roads. Herbst said the one on the Dorenkemper property would, but the road on the Zwiers property would be for emergency use only. Tyra-Lukens wanted to make sure that all streets that look like they are temporary dead ends are clearly signed so we don't have problems in the future. She thought it is very important that we be conscientious about how we develop this part of Eden Prairie and we must be sure to protect the bluffs and minimise the tree loss. MOTION: Thorfmnson moved, seconded by Butcher-Younghans, to close the Public Hearing; to approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for PUD District Review on 58.95 acres and Rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 and R1-9.5 on 58.95 acres; to adopt Resolution 98-34 for PUD Concept Amendment on 58.95 acres; to adopt Resolution 98-35 for Preliminary Plat of 58.95 acres into 117 lots and 4 outlots; and to direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Commission and Staff recommendations and the following Council conditions: 1) carsonite markers to delineate the conservation easement area, 2) placement of the wetland area into an outlot, preferably to be deeded back to the City, or, alternatively, to be dedicated to the Homeowners Association; 3) proponent to work with the Heritage Preservation Commission on street names within the development; 4) sidewalks to be placed on Streets E and F; 5) proponent to work with staff to establish a satisfactory erosion control plan; 6) proponent to work with staff to develop an acceptable drainage plan for the back lots subject to the final decision on the location of the Indian mounds; and 7) proponent to provide for a second entrance prior to 2nd Reading. Motion carried 4-0. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 17, 1998 Page 10 C. RIVER KNOLL OFFICE BUILDING by River Knoll, L.L.C.
