PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Prairie East 7th, request by Hustad Development Corporation, to rezone from Rural to RM 6. 5 and preli inary plat ap-proval Resolution No. 78-106, and Ordinance No. 78-31 ) Continued Public Hearing from May 16, 1978. Jim Ostenson, Hustad Development Corporation, explained he has met with. residents on 2 different occasions, and primary concern was not so much the townhouse project, lifestyle or type of people, as much as the buffer area and impact the townhouses would have on them. After first meeting the developer went back and arrived at a buffer plan which he referred to, along with other changes, in preliminary plat dated June 1 , 1978. - Ostenson stated Hustad would provide a 25 foot natural area of significant smaller trees which the proponent is attempting to preserve and will also enter into a planting plan that will be acceptable to the City. This plan will affect not only the project under consideration, but also those people to the north of the project. Council Minutes - 3 - Wed. ,June 7, 1978 A. Prairie East 7th Public Hearin (continued) Mayor Penzel referred to petition received on drainage dated June 3, 1978, and requested same to be made part of the' record. (Attached as part of minutes) Ostenson responded the overland drainage has caused some problems and the proponent has agreed to begin immediately to sod the entire swaie in order to alleviate any erosion. If that is not sufficient, Hustad would also be prepared to immediately post a bond in the area of $1.0,000.00, and if the erosion were not alleviated would put in the pipe. City Engineer Jullie explained he had been out on the site and the drainage facilities that are in place are not what was approved by the City. The drainage system has not been accepted for ownership and maintenance by the City. However, Jullie noted it is a reasonable approach to get the swaie properly graded and sodded, and then to request the developer to post a bond with the City that would run for at least three years. Then if erosion or other maintenance problems become evident, the City would have the authority under the bond to request a storm sewer pipe to be installed. The pipe would cost $7,000 - $10,000 Osterholt asked what the possibility of single family homes would be in Prairie East 7th. City Planner Enger explained he had talked to the developer about single family, however, it was always Hustad's intent to provide townhouses in this area. The proponent is trying to place the townhouse units to satisfy the surrounding area. Ostenson stated he has met with City staff on two or three occasions and discussed the park site, and believes at the last Council meeting the developer was charged to negotiate with the Staff as to an acceptable price, specific location and method of payment. The Staff has agreed to a 20-acre site located south of County Road 1 and east of Franlo Road. Further Mr. Ostenson explained it is his understanding the City cannot enter into a contract greater than five years in length, and Staff has asked the developer to take a deposit down on the parcel of land now, end Hustad would be responsible for collecting the balance. The park fee would come directly to Hustad. The developer is now at $8,500 an acre with no interest or carrying charge to the City, with a downpayment of $70,000 and balance as building permits come i n. Director of Community Services lambert stated the City's cash park fee is a good idea, but the timing is bad. The City doesn't get the money to pay for the park until after we need it. Lambert further spoke to memo dated June 7, 1978, and answered questions of Council members. Bye noted the park site was originally intended to be on the corner and we are getting into a problem of hiding our park sites where people can't get to them. Further it appears that putting the park in the spot referred to above creates greater land values for the adjoining properties. Lambert explained the City's number one park site was the northeast corner, as in looking at the four corners the northeast corner was the only one that had acceptable level type ground. Mr. & Mrs . Lowell Green, 9935 Friar Drive, stated they were under the impression that when the developer put a drainage system in, it would be a natural drainage system. Mr. Green stated he walked the ditch ana Tne developer has cut away probably an 8 or 10 foot ditch to drain the pond, which is not his idea of a natural drainage system. Mr. & Mrs . Green would like to see the developer connect up to a drainage system. J Council Minutes 4 - Wed. ,June 7, 1978 A. Prairie East 7th Public Hearing (continued) Mr. & Mrs. Pollack, 9950 Friar Drive, feel storm sewer is necessary. Mr. Ken Franz, 9880 Squire Lane, 2nd Addition , reiterated his concerns expressed at the May 16th Council meeting. Franz explained the question should be asked as to what is the purpose of the park site, is it to serve the 7th, 8th and 9th areas, plus the 3 areas already there, or is it to serve people yet to build. The site and terms seem to fit the developers terms, and the City is getting short-changed. Frank Thomas, 9785 Garrison Way, abutting the 7th Addition, satisfied with the development proposed as the developer has agreed to put in a 25 foot buffer zone, but questioned how this could be enforced. Penzel replied through the developer' s agreement. Osterholt requested a storm sewer plan be worked out with City Engineer JullieIand Meyers stated the proposal on the park site is not acceptable. Penzel concurred that both the drainage and park site have to be addressed further. 4 Ostenson stated he is prepared to put a drainage pipe in at this time according to City specifications. i i JTION: Pauly moved, seconded by Osterholt, to continue the Public Hearing . n Prairie East 7th to the June 20th Council meeting for further consideration 4L can drainage and the park site. Motion carried unanimously. sterholt further stated that the 25 foot buffer is not adequate and feels hat problem should also be addressed.

April 24, 1978, and the motion recommending the City Council consider approval of the preliminary plat. Director of Community Services Lambert spoke to the minutes of the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission dated May 1 , 1978, whereby unanimous approval was also recommended. Osterholt requested Mr. McGlynn, Olympic Hills Corporation, to submit a Master Plan before the 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 29 . for the entire area so the Council can see what is going to be the golf course and what is going to be developed. Mr. McGlynn agreed to present a Master Plan to the Council as requested.

Olympic Hills Fifth Addition, Olympic Hills Corporation, rezoning from Rural to R1-13. 5 for approximately 11 acres to 20 lots and preliminary plat approval Steve Young, Architect with Knutson Architects, representing the proponents, outlined the proposal . r City Planner Enger explained the Planning Commission reviewed this proposal on April 24, 1978, and unanimously turned the proposal down based on the inability to align the road with the previously platted Bennett Place to the south. The proponent again appeared before the Planning Commission on May 22, at which time there was a desire on the proponent's part to accomplish an alignment of the intersection and the project was passed unanimously, subject a to the alignment of the road with previously platted Bennett Place to the south. Don McGlynn, Olympic Hills Corporation,explained he has spent some time since the last Planning Commission meeting with Mr. Ray Welter, Jr. , who owns the property immediately to the west of the proposed project. Mr. McGlynn feels there can be an agreement reached with Mr. Welter. Penzel questioned if any pedestrian and bicycle trails have been proposed. Enger responded trails have not been studied. However, staff is recommending a 60-foot right-of-way, and there is room with a 60 foot right-of-way for a sidewalk on one side of the road. Ray Welter, Jr. , stated he would like a commitment from the County on the road. He would like to have it staked out to see how much of his land is going to be taken for sure. Mr. Welter felt there are a lot of questions left unanswered. Enger explained the County can only give a commitment as to whether you can or can't have an access, and suggested a firm commitment from the County be received. Sally Brown, 10080 Bennett Place, questioned how many other additions will feed on to County Road 1 . Enger responded there would be the 4th and 5th Additions which would feed on to County Road 1 .

She also expressed her concern that the City is getting away from the 1968 Comprehensive Guide Plan. Osterholt asked if this area would not be good for single family residences.

Echols of Rosemount, dated June 2,1978, requesting that their company be excluded from this assessment because Parcel 8230 is landlocked by property belonging to others on the south and east and the lake on the north. Penzel questioned if Rosemount would be opposed to rezoning the portion of the parcel 8230 ti,at is used for park to open space dedication in order to assure the justification for non-assessment. Mr. Vanasek explained he would have to take that matter up with Rosemount. Jullie further stated that decision could be made at the time of the assessment hearing.

I ?•r June 3,1978 'r7e, the undersigned, pctition the Eden Prairie City Council to have our drainage problems revi.cwed. There is a drainage ditch run- ning through several of the back yards in the Prairie East Additions 1 and 2. This ditch has twelve -to eighteen inches of water running very rapidly through it for two or three days after it rains, and steadily for approximately six :reeks during the spring thmr. We do not feel it is consistent with good city planning to drams all the ►•rater from. all the -streets in our area through several back yards - ovo rl and. Mere are many young children in our area, and this ditch presents a trezmandous li.abili.tf problem. In addition, the ditch is unsightly and, are feel, greatly devalues our properties. In su.-Taa-xy, the drainage system the city approved for our area is in reality a vcry inadequate, dangerous, and unsightly ditch. We R are all very :such concerned - those of us whose property is involti,.d, and those of us whose children live and play in the area. de propose: 1 . That no developing be perritted in the .Fourth Addition until we have a written comrzitment to have our streets I connected to an underground storm sewer systera. 2. That no multi-f amU7 dwellings in Additions 7.8., and 9 be permitted unless those streets also are connected to an underground sto= sewer system. 7,44 712 � s l- , Y l • • ..f . .���� �. - �L� i. / , ��� �� C
