V. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Bluff's West 2nd Addition by Hustad Development Corporation, Dr. & Mrs.
Brandt and B. F.I . Request for rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 on 97 acres
Resolution No. 78-154 and Ordinance No. 78-41 ) Continued Public Hearing
from November 21, 1978
Director of Community Services Lambert spoke to his memo dated December 1 ,
1978 and answered questions of Council members .
Osterholt commented from the appraisals received and the land sales shown
in this area, it seems the City is being put upon and charged inflated
prices for land that the proponents feel the City wants. Osterholt stated
he believes the City should back off from those kinds of negotiations or
dealings and try to be more realistic. Further if it requires later on to
take a smaller site to serve other areas, maybe that should be direction
the City should take - have smaller parks serving more neighborhoods instead
of one large park serving fewer neighborhoods.
(.oi:i,cz I ',onuLes - s - Tues . ,December 5, 1978
A. Bluff's West 2nd Addition (continued)
Lambert explained the Parks , Recreation & Natural Resources Commission met
12/4/78 and recommended increasing the cash park fees starting January 1 ,
1979, and will also look at the cash ppark fee ordinance regarding those
kinds of amendments . Lambert stated he would have the proposed amendments
to the ordinance to the Council by the December 19th meeting.
Osterholt expressed concern of the proponents lack of response to the Council ' s
request sometime ago to be shown development plans around the area under
consideration.
Dick Putnam, Hustad Development Corporation, stated in reading Mr. Lambert's
staff report and talking with BFI , Hus tad's felt they had come to a point where
it was reasonable for the City as close to half of the 20 acre park site has
been appraised at 14,500 an acre and BFI has agreed to sell it to the City
for $4,000 an acre payable as the cash park fee comes in.
Penzel replied BFI was asking $4,000 an acre on the 20 acre site, which requires
extensive land alterations , and they are asking $10,000 an acre on the 12 acre
site. Does not know how Hustad can equate the two as being a price less than
what the appraiser said they were worth�as the appraisal shows the 12
acre site at $5,300 per acre and it was backed up by substantial numbers of
comparable sales in various other parts of the community - both near and farther
away.
Penzel restated the recommendations of the Parks , Rec;-eation & Natural
Resources Commission and Staff to go with the 20 acre site at $4,000 an acre,
moving 90,OOO cubic yards of dirt, because it is the best location , overall the
4Llowest cost, and it is potentially the hest payment schedule.
Osterholt stated when the City gets through grading we are talking about
$1O, 0OO an acre andanother $60,000 for facilities. Osterholt felt this is
an expensive way to develop parks in a community like Eden Prairie.
Pauly also commented she felt the 20 acre site is the best site, but too much
money.
Penzel reiterated we have an unresolved issue in the park, and we also seem to
have less than adequate backup information on the overall land use to the
properties that Hustad is committed to with BFI (the whole earterly area of '
their property) .
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Pauly, to continue the Bluff' s West 2nd
Addition Public Hearing to December 19, 1978, giving the proponents a chance to
review their situation,and giving the City Attorney an opportunity to review
the matter of the 1 year limitation before resubmission by the proponent. Motion
carried unanimously.
Meyers stated she finds the proponents have done a good job in platting the
property for single family development and is in favor of the 20 acre park site
north of the property as recommended by Mr. Lambert; however, in looking at the
acquisition cost and the land preparation costs it does come to over $6,000 an
acre. Meyers agreed with Osterholt's concern to see an overall plan and some
kind of concept commitment from both landowners (BFI and Hustad).
�_omsci i vji nutes - 4 - Tues. ,December 5, 1978
B. Eden Prairie Neighborhood Center, BarMil Search Cor oration, request
to rezone 1 1 .7 acres from Rural to Conmerci al-Regi onal Service and prel i mi nab
plat the site. The site is located southwest of Eden Prairie Center.
City Manager Ulstad explained there i$ an affidavit on file calling for this
Public Hearing and the abutting property owners have been notified.
Dave Shea, Shea Architects, representing BarMil Search Corporation, showed
graphics of the proposed area , and Bob Bale, Director of Land Development
for Homart Development, Chicago, spoke to the proposal and answered questions
of Council members .
n
City Planner Enger reviewed the Staff Report dated October 16, 1978 and a
the recommendation for approval by the Planning Commission at their October 23rd
meeting, and also the recommendation for approval by the Parks, Recreation
& Natural Resources Commission at their meeting held November 6, 1978.
Meyers stated when the original concept for this site was approved as a clustered
neighborhood convenience center, she was sure Homart must have been aware
of the topography on the site at that time. In looking over-the grading plans
it now saems rather than making the site flatter, the proponents are intensifying
the grade separation at the 14 foot pedestrian walk in their grading plan.
Meyers further stated that some of the City' s other development approvals in
this area, most notably the Tudor Oaks development, were predicated on the
thought there would be a true neighborhood convenience center at this area in a
clustered concept. This would have been an ideal spot for the elderly because they
wouldn ' t have to rely on automobiles as they wouldn 't have long distances
to travel outdoors between the commercial and retail uses. They would have
everything pretty much in this area in a true convenience center without n
' negotiating a 14 foot drop stairway and without walking several hundred feet
from the bank to the grocery store. There is also a great need for a convenience
center for The Preserve and the Prairie East divisions as far south as County r
Road 1 in Eden Prairie,and even across County Road 18 into Bloomington. To
force all those people to rely on automobile trips from one store to another
really defeats the purpose of a true neighborhood convenience center.
Bale commented they now have more modern ways of retailing and things change
over 4 or 5 years. Their prospective tenants come to Homart with their request,
and Homart makes a commitment to the prospective tenants subject to approval
of the zoning. Bale feels the proposal under consideration is a fine concept
and the elevations aesthetically are fantastic, i .e. , walk paths, trees and
wooden steps . As to the elderly, as marketers and businessmen Homart has to
go after their major market. They do plan to serve the Tudor Oaks project with a
drug facility for getting their drugs and other convenience things ; however,
the idea behind the proposed development is for the benefit of the entire
community.
Osterholt explained the experts (proponents) know more about the trends of
retailing, and that the split level of the site is more attractive than the
flat area filled with parking lots. Further if the people that are living
in the retirement center come to this particular center for shopping, Osterholt
did not think very many of them would be walking as they would be using some other
form of transportation because of the distance involved, i .e. , mini-shuttle
f service, bus service or a private vehicle.
i
i MI TIUTes - 0 - i ues . ,December 5, 1978
B. Eden Prairie Neighborhood Center, BarMil Search Corporation (continued)
Enger commented there is a variance requested on this proposal from 8 parking
spaces per thousand square feet to 6.8 parking spaces per thousand square
feet. Staff feels this is probably one of the best places for parking variances
in that there is quite a bit of cross parking available in the Homart parking
lot itself.
Penzel stated one of the points Tudor Oaks made to the Council was that they
would be providing shuttle bus service for their residents to get around to
the areas shopping facilities.
Meyers pointed out in looking at the brochure and listening to Mr. Shea talking
about the expansion of the convenience services across the Franlo Road entrance
on to a future development area that was to be the library site, she thought
the Council made it clear when the property was rezoned back to Rural that the
exception for the library was only an exception for the library and a public
use. It was not intended to be a reading from the City that consideration would
be given to all proposals on that property which was intended to be left as an
open space buffer for Homart Center.
Bale stated if that is true, he is totally unaware of it. He understood the
property to be zoned as Rural like the other pieces of property Homart has
in Eden Prairie.
Penzel recommended Mr. Bale and City Staff get together and talk about the
property in question as this is not part of the Public Hearing before the
Council this evening.

MOTION: Pauly moved, seconded by Osterholt, to close the Public Hearing and
give a lst Reading to Ordinance No. 78-56, rezoning 11 .7 acres* from Rural to i
Commercial-Regional Service for Eden Prairie Neighborhood Center, BarMil
Search Corporation. Motion carried unanimously.
f
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Pauly, to adopt Resolution No. 78-216,
approving the preliminary plat for the Eden Prairie Neighborhood Center.
Osterholt, Pauly and Penzel voted "aye", Meyers voted "nay" . Motion carried.
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Pauly, to instruct the City Attorney
to draft a developers agreement incorporating the recommendations of the
Staff Report dated October 16, 1978, the Planning Commission, and the
Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission. Motion carried unanimously.
C. Thrift-Way Stores , request by Mr. Salzburg to rezone_5.409 acres from Hwy.-Comm.
and Rural to Commercial-Regional Service for a grocery store. The site is
located on the north side of West 78th Street and south of Leona Road
City Manager Ulstad explained there is an affidavit on file calling for this
Public Hearing and abutting property owners have been notified.
Ron Krank, Korsunsky, Krank and Erickson Architects, spoke to the proposal
and responded to questions of Council members . Mr. Krank displayed four
drawings: 1) proposed site context, 2) proposed Thrift-Way Supermarket,
3) existing site context, and 4) schematic lighting plan.
City Planner Enger explained the proposal was heard at the October 23, 1978
Planning Commission meeting and was continued to the November 13th meeting,
where it was recommended for approval on a 3-2 vote, subject to the recommenda-
I Mi nutes - b - Tues . , Decu;iDer 5, 1976
C . Thrift-Way Stores (continued)
iX
tions of the Staff Report dated October 16, 1978, excluding item 7 and
adding an item ll .to read "that lighting units be used that minimize both glare
and illumination of the adjacent land! areas." The proposal was reviewed by
the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission and was recommended
for approval unanimously.
Director of Community Services Lambert acknowledged that the Parks, Recreation
& Natural Resources Commission approved the proposal , however, recommended
leaving item 7 in the October 16, 1978 Planning Staff Report.
Pauly questioned if there is still a 25% site coverage or has that changed and,
if so, do they meet the ordinance. Enger responded the proponents are down
to 22% so it does not meet the City 's ordinanceland they are also requesting
a waiver of the 8 spaces per thousand square feet to 5 spaces per thousand i
square feet.
Osterholt asked if there are any recommnedations for the easterly portion of
the property. Enger responded the recommendation of the staff in the Staff
Report was that the eastern section of the site be designated for convenience
commercial uses) and that recommendation was taken out by the Planning 'Commission.
The Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission recommended that the developer`
illustrate what he has in mind for the eastern section. Thrift-Way does not own
the eastern parcel , although there is an underlying landowner of the whole parcel .
The Major Center Area Planned Unit Development land concept would illustrate
that eastern portion could be used for any type of regional commercial use.
Osterholt questioned if Titus was the owner of the eastern parcel . Gil
Darkenwald, Realtor, responded that Independent Millwork Profit Sharing is the
owner of the parcel .
Dick Lynch, 11426 Leona Road, expressed concern about the berming for single
family homes as he does not feel what the proponents are proposing will buffer
the parking lot from the homeowners. He has some grave concern of the intensity
of this particular project on this particular site. Hopes the lighting system
as proposed will work, but if it doesn' t work there should be some mechanism
that the homeowners in the neighborhood are able to have the proponents do
something about it. Lynch also expressed concern about a connection on the
western side of the property and felt the sidewalk on the eastern side doesn't
make any sense.
Mr. Krank stated he is also concerned about the neighbors and would have no
problem in taking the final plans, in addition to meeting with City Staff, back
to the neighbors to show specifically what they are doing and how they are I
responding to the neighbors concerns .
Osterholt commented the proponents were in earlier requesting MIDB's (Municipal
X,industrial Development Bonds), and questioned if Thrift-Way would withdraw if the
IDB request was not approved by the Council . Mr. Krank stated he could
not answer the question. Osterholt suggested that an answer be given before
action is taken on the rezoning request.
Pauly felt this is rather a small area and is somewhat sensitive as there are
homes to the north, a large office building and a church. It is not really a
typical part of downtown with these givens at the site. There will also be
a 2 1l2 acre parcel left hanging. The earlier PUD, although it didn't sell ,
did at least take into consideration its neighbors a little bit better than this

C. Thrift-Way Stores (Continued)
proposal does. It did have a good trail system, kept the natural
amenities of the site and fit in with the church, office building and
homes. The proposal under consideratibn is over the 20% site coverage so
we really have a very intense use of this site.
MOTION: Meyers moved, seconded by Osterholt, to continue the Thrift-Way
Public Hearing to the December 19, 1978 Council meeting and turn the
project back to the proponents to work out concerns expressed by the Council
this evening, and to the Staff to answer questions about the Municipal
Industrial Development Bonds . Motion carried unanimously.
VI . REPORTS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS
�o reports.
VI : . 'ETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Shady Oak Industrial Park by Richard Anderson. Request to preliminary
plat 27 acres of I-5 Park Zoned property into 4 lots . The property is located
south of Claredon Park and west of Washington Avenue. (Resolution No.
78-217)
The proponent, Richard Anderson, spoke to his proposal and answered questions
of Council members.
Meyers questioned if the roadway as perceived is feasible or if we are approving
or considering a plat and road system that isn't economically feasible to build.
s
Planning Director Enger responded he has checked with the Department of Natural
Resources on this whole wetland area in terms of consideration for development,
and in terms of consideration for a possible park in a central wetland area.
Oddly enough, the DNR doesn't have any public waters in that area, it all falls in
a different classification then what they have jurisdiction over. In terms of
soil problems and so on, Mr. Anderson has supplied both the Engineering Department
and the Planning Department with about 40 soil borings through the middle of
the site he is proposing now out westerly into the bad soil area . Mr. Anderson
has shown the road in about as good a location as it can be. City Engineer
Jullie has checked with BRW and finds that particularly in the Swendseen area s
to the south there will be some surcharges for placing of overburden material
required for a one-year time period, but that area may then be bridged with a
road . Staff feels it is feasible to build and also feels there has been quite
a bit of background work done by Mr. Anderson and the assessments would have
to be borne by the property owners. Staff is also suggesting as close to 100%
petition as possible.
/ MOTION: Meyers moved, seconded by Osterholt, to adopt Resolution No. 78-217,
approving the preliminary plat for Shady Oak Industrial Park by Richard
Anderson, with the requirement that before final plat consideration that right-
of-way for Shady Oak Road be worked out to connect with Flying Cl ou44 Drive and
Valley View Road. Motion carried unanimously.

Approval for Creekwood single family and double bungalows
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Meyers, to grant the request from Hustad

IX. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS & COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Council Members
1 . Councilwoman Pauly reported on the recent meeting held by the
Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission. The Metropolitan Airports
Commission is acting on the suggestion that was originated by the
citizens committee that we encourage the use of the southern runway
at Flying Cloud and the traffic going out over the river valley.
The only way you can get airplanes to land on this runway is to
make that runway more attractive, and the only way to make it more
attractive is to lengthen it according to MAC. MAC has hired a
consulting firm from New Hampshire and their representative is
John Tanner. Mr. Tanner is proposing the Public Hearing for the
8th of March. The commission suggested a Public Meeting be held
on January 25, 1979 so there could be some genuine input by the
community before everything is put together. MAC is planning to
extend the southern runway 300 feet. Publicity, if possible,
should be given through the HAPPENINGS newsletter and the Eden
Prairie News of these scheduled meetings .

Penzel suggested a meeting be set on a Saturday for the Council
to meet with all the commissions .
Pauly commented the Council might be able to meet with each commission
