CLERK'S LICENSE LIST CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 21, 2006 Page 2 B. EDEN VIEW ESTATES by Insignia Development, LLC. Second Reading of the Ordinance for Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers and Zoning District Amendment in the Rural Zoning District on 8.00 acres. Location: 17650 Flying Cloud Drive. (Ordinance No. 3-2006 for PUD-2-2006 District Review with waivers and Zoning District Amendment) C. AGING JOYFULLY by Ken and Joy Hansen. Second Reading of the Ordinance for Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers and Zoning District Change from Office to RM-6.5 on 1.61 acres. Location: 13050 Pioneer Trail. (Ordinance No. 6-2006 for PUD-5-2006 District Review with waivers and Zoning District Change) D. APPROVE SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 7-2006 AMENDING CITY CODE CHAPTER 5 BY ADDING NEW SECTION 5.72 ENTITLED LICENSING OF RENTAL HOUSING AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2006-26 APPROVING SUMMARY ORDINANCE E. ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2006-27 APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT OF EDEN VIEW ESTATES F. AWARD BID FOR LIGHTING OF ROUND LAKE PARK FIELD #4 TO GUNNAR ELECTRIC G. APPROVE SOFTWARE SALE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH TECHNICAL DIFFERENCE, INC. FOR THE PURCHASE AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PEOPLE-TRAK (HUMAN RESOURCES INFORMATION SYSTEM) Aho pulled Item D for discussion. He noted he had gotten a lot of feedback that property owners had not had opportunity to comment on the ordinance. For example, one concern was that owners would have a disincentive to call the police if they would lose their license if there were too many calls on the unit. He recommended postponing action to collect input. Tyra-Lukens noted property owners might not have been in the loop,but the intent was good. She agreed Council discussion was warranted. Case said the idea of licensing rental housing came from Staff, but seemed like a good idea to Council as well. The key issue is whether the ordinance helps make sure units are safe. The City had no legal obligation to notify, but still did notify property managers (as opposed to owners, who might be out-of-state). Cost is not the issue either. The cost is only 90 cents per unit per month after the first unit. Case said the ordinance is the right thing to do and expressed concern that re-opening the process could cause delay. Young concurred the intent of the ordinance was good and the cost appropriate. Hearing out the owners would be fine,but he expected to continue to support the program and its cost unless compelling new arguments came to light. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 21, 2006 Page 3 Neal noted the rental housing inspection program is the third step in four actions, begun about a year and a half ago, regarding rental housing. The first two actions concerned exterior maintenance and having a clean site. If the rental inspection ordinance passes, the final step would be to implement a point-of-sale inspection ordinance. Other cities have similar ordinances, so the City would not be breaking new ground. Regarding notification, Neal noted even representatives from the multifamily housing association agreed the City had gone above and beyond the required newspaper notice by inviting property managers, who had not shown much interest. Council needs to decide how to react to people who don't show up for the public hearing but complain later. Neal said the program is good and that it is appropriate for the primary beneficiaries to bear the cost. He recommended proceeding with approval. Butcher said her understanding from the managers' association was that they mainly wanted Council to examine and discuss the issue in depth. The ordinance will protect safety, not just for one unit,but for all those around it. Butcher said she had reviewed the ordinance and felt very comfortable with it. Tyra-Lukens said she also supported passage. The concept is closely modeled after other cities. Council should implement the program, notify public safety of the issues raised, and have them report any impacts in a year. Young asked Esbensen to comment. Esbensen said the City looked at about a dozen of other communities' ordinances. The Eden Prairie ordinance is extremely similar to those of Chanhassen, Chaska, Plymouth, and Maple Grove. Aho asked if the costs in those communities are also similar. Esbensen said yes, Eden Prairie's costs are right in the middle. Aho said he was comfortable passing the ordinance, with Council's intent made clear and with the commitment to evaluate its impacts in a year. MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Aho, to approve Items A-G on the Consent Calendar. Motion carried 5-0. VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS/MEETINGS A. HORIZON PLACE by Commercial Horizons, Inc. Request for: Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Medium Density Residential to Regional Commercial on 1.74 acres; Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 7.52 acres; Planned Unit Development District Review on 5.87 acres; Zoning District Change from Rural to Commercial Regional Service on 1.74 acres; Site Plan Review on 5.87 acres; Preliminary Plat of 7.52 acres into 1 lot and road right of way. Location: Birdies Re-development. (Resolution No. 2006-28 for Guide Plan Change; Resolution No. 2006-29 for PUD Concept Review; Ordinance for PUD District Review and Zoning District Change; Resolution No. 2006-30 for Preliminary Plat) Neal explained this project is a 29,000 square foot commercial development consisting of an 11,000 square foot retail strip building and 18,000 square foot Office Max. A 1.74-acre portion of the project will require a guide plan change CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 21, 2006 Page 4 from Medium Density Residential to Regional Commercial. This land use may be appropriate for the following reasons: 1. The property is adjacent to Commercial Regional Service land uses to the north. 2. The site is adjacent to Highway 212. The Planning Commission voted 8-0 to recommend approval of the project to the City Council. Case noted the area would probably shift from 5% impervious surface to 95% as a result of development. He asked about ponding. Jeremiah said the project will use existing ponds on the west side of Columbine, which are sized appropriately. Tyra-Lukens asked where the 1.74 acres are located. Jeremiah said it is a small triangle on the southeast portion of the site. It would not be usable for residential development in any case. Aho asked if the project fits with the MCA plan, and Jeremiah confirmed it does. There were no comments from the public. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Aho, to close the Public Hearing; adopt Resolution No. 2006-28 for Guide Plan Change from Medium Density Residential to Regional Commercial on 1.74 acres; adopt Resolution No. 2006-29 for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 7.52 acres; approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers, and Zoning District Change from Rural to Commercial Regional on 1.74 acres; adopt Resolution No. 2006-30 for Preliminary Plat on 7.52 acres into one lot and road right of way; and direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Staff and Commission recommendations and Council conditions. Motion carried 5-0. B. LONE OAK CENTER by Dove Capital LLC. Request for: Guide Plan Change from Regional Commercial to Community Commercial on 5.27 acres; Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 5.27 acres; Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 5.27 acres; Zoning District Change from Commercial Regional Service to Community Commercial on 5.27 acres; Site Plan Review on 5.27 acres; Preliminary Plat on 5.27 acres into 3 lots and road right-of- way. Location: Northwest Corner of Lone Oak & Mitchell Rd (Resolution No. 2006-31 for Guide Plan Change; Resolution No. 2006-32 for PUD Concept Review; Ordinance for PUD District Review with waivers and Zoning District Change; Resolution No. 2006-33 for Preliminary Plat) Neal said the project consists of 34,740 square feet of retail uses consisting of a pharmacy, retail shops and a bank on three lots. A Guide Plan change from Regional Commercial to Community Commercial is proposed. This request may have merit since the centrally located site is more appropriate to serving a community wide area. Regional Commercial uses are more appropriate near the Major Center Area. The proposed waivers are similar in nature to the waivers that were granted for the underlying 2000 project for a hotel and restaurant. The platting of the property for marketing purposes creates the lot size, dimension and zero lot line setback waivers. Granting the waivers provides for additional road CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 21, 2006 Page 5 right-of-way for ownership of a sidewalk and provides for wider sidewalks in front of the buildings. The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the project to the City Council at its January 23, 2006 meeting. Jeremiah noted the project would require a traffic signal and the developer will pay all the costs. Butcher asked if the entrance to the development would be off Lone Oak Road. Jeremiah said this would be the primary entrance,but there will also be a right in/out only onto Mitchell Road. A right turn lane would be added to Mitchell Road and the developer would construct it. Tyra-Lukens noted good signage would be needed to direct traffic to Lone Oak Road. Jeremiah said there would be monument signage consistent with the design of the overall project. Case noted a NURP pond seems to overlap a wetland and asked how this affects credits. Dietz explained there are two types of credits, wetland and public value. NURP ponds count toward the public value credits. The environmental coordinator was involved with the plan design. Case lamented the lack of breakfast restaurants in Eden Prairie and asked if the City could encourage development of certain amenities. Jeremiah said the City does bring up perceived deficiencies in the retail and restaurant market. Butcher asked for further detail on signs—how high would they be? Would they be illuminated? Jeremiah said there would be a low monument sign and signage on buildings. Only the bank and the office would be visible from Highway 5. Tyra-Lukens asked that details of the sign plan be provided at the next reading. Young noted one of the properties is City property and asked the date of the closing. Jeremiah said it would be on April 14, 2006. There were no comments from the public. MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Butcher, to close the Public Hearing; adopt Resolution 2006-31 for Guide Plan Change from Regional Commercial to Community Commercial on 5.27 acres; adopt Resolution No. 2006-32 for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 5.27 acres; approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers, and Zoning District Change from Commercial Regional Service to Community Commercial on 5.27 acres; adopt Resolution No. 2006-33 for Preliminary Plat of 5.27 acres into 3 lots and road right-of-way; and direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Staff and Commission recommendations and Council conditions. Motion carried 5-0. C. SITE ALTERATION PERMITS #2006-01-0004 Riley-Jacques Farm, 9100 Riley Lake Road. To permit the placement of a new park entrance identification sign at the farm along Lake Riley Road. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 21, 2006 Page 6 Neal explained the next two items relate to sign alterations. Because the properties are historic, a special process must be followed. The Heritage Preservation Commission has reviewed an application for a Site Alteration Permit for the Riley-Jacques Farm located at 9100 Riley Lake Road. The application is for placement of a new park entrance identification sign at the farm along Lake Riley Road. There is currently no sign at the entrance to the property. The Heritage Preservation Commission reviewed the Site Alteration Permit application and color renditions of the new City park entrance signs and voted in favor(5-0) for placement of one six (6) feet tall by three (3) feet wide sign, which identifies the site as the Riley-Jacques Farm, Eden Prairie Heritage Site. The Commission further recommends that future plantings at this location be limited to native grasses and flowers. There were no comments from the public. MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Case, to close the Public Hearing; and adopt the Findings and Approve Heritage Preservation Site Alteration Permit #2006-01-0004 (Riley-Jacques Farm). Motion carried 5-0. D. SITE ALTERATION PERMITS #2006-02-0005 Fredrick-Miller Spring, 9995 Spring Road. To permit the placement of one new park entrance identification sign at the spring site along Spring Road. Neal explained the Heritage Preservation Commission has reviewed an application for a Site Alteration Permit for the Fredrick-Miller Spring located at 9995 Spring Road. The application is for replacement of one new park entrance identification sign at the spring site along Spring Road. The sign now located at the spring is going to be replaced with the newly designed City sign. The Heritage Preservation Commission reviewed the Site Alteration Permit application and color renditions of the new City park entrance signs and voted in favor(5-0) for placement of one five (5) feet tall by three (3) feet wide sign, which identifies the site as Fredrick-Miller Spring, Eden Prairie Heritage Site. The Commission further recommends that future plantings at this location be limited to native grasses and flowers. Case noted that federal law requires this review and that having Staff dedicated to historic preservation prevents having to hire a subcontractor. He noted historic properties are named after the first and last owners. The ruins of the Frederick homestead still exist on the site. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Young, to close the Public Hearing; and adopt the Findings and Approve Heritage Preservation Site Alteration Permit #2006-02-0005 (Fredrick-Miller Spring). Motion carried 5-0. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 21, 2006 Page 7 E. CDBG FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS (RESOLUTION NO. 2006-34) Tyra-Lukens noted this item is for Community Development Block Grant allocation, a federal grant for human services. Neal said 2006 CDBG Funding is $267,766.00, a decrease from$296,889.00 in 2005, and the amount of money available for distribution to human services providers under the 15% guideline is $40,165.00. The Human Services Review Committee reviewed the 2006 CDBG proposals and recommended the following activities be funded. # Human Services Activity Funding CountyLevel Priority 1 PROP (People Reaching Out to Other People) $13,000 High 2 GMDCA (Child Care Subsidy) $13,000 High 3 HOME (Household & Outside Maintenance for $6,000 High the Elderly) 4 HomeLine (Tenant's Advocacy Service) $5,000 High 5 Emergency Vehicle Repair $3,165 High Sub Total $40,165 Housing Activities Funding County Level Priority 6 Housing Rehabilitation Deferred Loan Program $45,469 High 7 Affordable Housing/Land Trust $150,000 High 8 Fair Housing Initiative $2,678 High 9 1 Program Administration $29,454 Grand Total $267,766 Case noted this is a federal pass-through for Hennepin County cities. Neal noted the City began contracting with Minnetonka last year for program administration when the County raised its costs. MOTION: Young moved, seconded by Aho, to close the public hearing; and adopt Resolution No. 2006-34 approving the use of 2006 CDBG funds as recommended by the Eden Prairie Human Services Committee. Motion carried 5-0. VIII. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Case, to approve Payment of Claims as submitted. The motion carried on a roll call vote with Aho, Butcher, Case, Young and Tyra-Lukens voting "aye." IX. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS A. FIT CITY RESOLUTION (NO. 2006-35) CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 21, 2006 Page 8 Tyra-Lukens said the governor's Fit City program targets the problem of obesity. The City already meets many of the criteria, which include walkablility, trails, and education. Staff has applied for the designation. Neal reiterated the City should qualify easily. Some kind of publicity function would be planned if the City were recognized. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Young, to adopt Resolution No. 2006-35 affirming activity-friendly commitments. Motion carried 5-0. B. RESOLUTION NO. 2006-36 APPOINTING YOUTH DELEGATE TO NLC CONGRESSIONAL CITIES CONFERENCE This item was discussed immediately after the consent calendar. Neal recommended Council designate Mr. Neal Younghans as the City's official youth delegate to the National League of Cities 2005 Congressional Cities Conference in Washington, DC. Mr. Younghans is a student at Eden Prairie High School and the son of Councilmember Butcher. The designation grants access to more experiences while at the conference. There is no cost to the City. Mr. Younghans' costs are financed by private sources. Neal said the conference is open to anyone who wishes to attend, and is a fascinating event. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Aho, to adopt Resolution No. 2006-36 appointing youth delegate to the NLC Congressional Cities Conference in Washington, DC, in March 2006. Motion carried 4-0 with Butcher abstaining. X. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS XI. REPORTS OF ADVISORY BOARDS & COMMISSIONS XII. APPOINTMENTS XIII. REPORTS OF OFFICERS A. REPORTS OF COUNCILMEMBERS B. REPORT OF CITY MANAGER C. REPORT OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR D. REPORT OF PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR 1. Third Rink Feasibility Study Lambert presented results from his study,requested by Council one month earlier, on the feasibility of adding a third rink to the Community Center. In 2000, a resident group did a detailed feasibility study, which determined a definite need for a third rink during prime seasons and hours. Six years CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 21, 2006 Page 9 later, the need is still there. The amount of ice time purchased, especially during the prime October to March season, continues to indicate demand. In addition, Lambert said he had received an inch and a half of email supporting the need and describing the odd hours at which young people were needing to skate. The historic Council position has been to provide land for a third rink and also to sell lease revenue bonds for whatever the rink would generate (an estimated $1.1 million). Lambert presented three options for going forward. A covered,refrigerated rink, including footings so that it could eventually be enclosed, would cost$2.5 million. Enclosing the rink in the cheapest possible way (with tip-up panels) would raise the price to $2.9 million. Enclosing the rink to the same standard as the current rink would cost$3.1 million. Assuming the City were able to sell $1.1 million in lease revenue bonds, the balance would then be about$2 million or a little less. Lambert explained the Hockey Association is asking the City to match their funds 1:1 for at least the open-sided rink (about a $750,000 match). They would like the City to match the full $1 million, should their fundraising be successful. The Hockey Association is also asking the Council for permission to offer donor incentives such as listing names of donors in the lobby, sponsoring ads on signage or on the boards, and granting naming rights. The Association would also like to know if these incentives could be offered only for the new rink, or for the existing rinks as well. Lambert noted that the normal process would be to go through the Parks Commission. However, the Association would like to start fundraising immediately before the hockey season ends and they lose touch with their members. The Association would like a decision on the matching now. The philosophical decisions about naming rights, signs, etc. can go through the Parks process for further discussion. Case said he had supported a new rink for 7-8 years and supported the match. The match would provide an incentive to raise more. Case said some people saw the timing of the rink as political,but the rink has been planned for a long time. This is the right package and the right time. Young also supported the match up to the full $1 million, saying few things are more important than youth athletics. Running the signage issue through Parks is a good plan. He pointed out use of CIP funds is a Council decision anyhow, so there is no point in referring that decision. Young emphasized the City already has the CIP funds in hand so that no taxes would be raised to support the rink. Fees also help support the costs. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 21, 2006 Page 10 Aho supported the match. As a hockey coach, he appreciated the plight of players. He praised the funding plans as a creative solution that did not raise taxes. A fully enclosed building would be much more functional, especially for off-peak use for sports like lacrosse. Butcher supported the rink as a hockey mom. The building should reflect the community's high standards. She noted all sports are subsidized,but hockey is the least subsidized sport despite being one of the most expensive. It would be interesting to find out the cost per participant and the subsidy for the different activities. She applauded the Hockey Association's creativity and held it up to other associations wishing to make things happen. Case underscored that hockey pays its own way. The Hockey Association should consider,however,how this project would affect parental fees. Increased fees could support the bonds,but it is important not to price parents out of the sport. Butcher asked Lambert to clarify some of the misconceptions in the community regarding the project. Lambert emphasized the project was not funded in the referendum. It is also not strictly true that hockey "pays its own way." After all, asking for a million dollars is a pretty significant subsidy, and the City also maintains the outdoor rinks. However, hockey is the only sport that not only covers all its operating costs,but also contributes to facilities. With the escalating demand for sports facilities, and premiere facilities at that, the City will not be able to keep up without starting to charge associations. For example, the fields at Miller Park may need to be replaced on more of a user pay system. Associations will need successful fundraising and/or higher fees to maintain and grow facilities. Finally, while CIP money is available, using it for a rink means it is not available for other parks projects. It is not easy to prioritize. Tyra-Lukens supported the project. There will be more information after the revenue bonds go to bond counsel. She did not have a strong preference for the open-sided vs. the more substantial rink. She proposed approaching the curlers who wanted to open a club here. Signs should priced so they don't proliferate—we don't want$5 signs plastered everywhere—but the Parks Commission is the right way to evaluate them. Lambert underlined that passing the motion did not guarantee a rink would be built. The real decision would be made a year from now after plans, specs, and bids have been worked out and the success of the Association's fundraising is determined. The City would agree to match from$750,000 to $1 million,but there is no commitment to build the rink if the Association raises less than $750,000. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 21, 2006 Page 11 MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher, to accept the report of the Parks and Recreation Director regarding the feasibility of the third rink; direct staff to forward this report and the Hockey Association requests to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission for their consideration at their March 6 meeting, direct staff to bring their recommendation regarding naming rights and selling advertising in the rink back to the Council at the March 8 meeting; and approve the request to match up to one million dollars toward the third rink provided it is raised by the date the bid is awarded. Motion carried 5-0. 2. Updated Five Year Capital Improvement Plan/Park Dedication Fees & Donations Lambert noted no formal action is requested. The Council requested further information on the five-year CIP plan. This version reflects the changes required by the third rink project. An additional $1 million went to Miller Park fields for safety and usability. The plan changes frequently as bids and new information are received—the costs are all rough estimates. However, it does present a list of projects for discussion. Lambert said he would continue to update Council as the plan changes. The City is expecting about half a million in cash parks fees this year, which represents a drop from the $1 million pace of previous years. Some day these funds will drop off even more dramatically. 3. Recommendation to Initiate Conversion of LAWCON Property Lambert said the acquisition of the Picha addition to Birch Island Woods presents an opportunity for the conversion of the loss of LAWCON property at Staring Lake Park associated with the Cummins-Grill homestead. There should be credits left over since the Picha parcel is more valuable. Butcher asked if SHIPO approval would be required, since the homestead is a historic site. Lambert said yes and did not anticipate a problem, since the alternative is letting the building fall apart. The success of the Dunn Bros project shows this kind of arrangement can work. The driveway changes associated with the Pioneer Trail expansion would also have to be approved by SHIPO. Lambert said the City would have to convert the loss of parkland in the new Pioneer Trail right-of-way as well. The total acreage will depend on the final road plan. Case asked for confirmation that the City has to replace the LAWCON land even if the County takes it for the road. Lambert said there would be some County dollars but the City will have to share the cost. Case asked if acquiring the Riley Lake parcel might be a possibility, since it would count as contiguous parkland. Lambert said his first choice would be to add to Staring Lake Park since land is being taken from it,but if not; other parkland of equal or greater value would serve. Case characterized the process as a pass-through to help accomplish other CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 21, 2006 Page 12 goals. The tree loss in the Pioneer Trail right-of-way, however, is hard to replace. MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Case, to authorize City staff to initiate the request to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the National Park Service to remove approximately one acre surrounding the historic Cummins-Grill House from the LAWCON boundary of Staring Lake Park and acquire, as replacement, new parkland adjacent to Birch Island Woods; and authorize staff to submit this request to the State Historic Preservation Office to obtain their necessary approvals to this request. Motion carried 5-0. E. REPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR F. REPORT OF POLICE CHIEF G. REPORT OF FIRE CHIEF H. REPORT OF CITY ATTORNEY XIV. OTHER BUSINESS XV. CLOSED SESSION TO DISCUSS PERSONNEL ISSUE Pauly requested the Council move to closed session to discuss a complaint filed with the Minnesota Human Rights Commission regarding an employment issue. Attorney-client privilege justifies the closure. XVI. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Young, to adjourn the meeting and move into closed session. Motion carried 5-0. The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
