IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Super Valu Shopping Center at County Road 18/Anderson Lakes Parkway, request to
preliminary plat and rezone from Rural to C-Commercial , 10 acres located in the
ii tj cnthwact nadranfi of Anderson I aka-, Parkway an (minty Rnari 1R Tnriiinanra Nn. 7o-ni
and Resolution No. 79-22) Continued Public Hearing from May 1 , 1979
i .
` Ulstad explained there was a question raised at the last Council meeting regarding i
the legal position the City may have relative to the County denying the request
for installation of signals. Since that time Ulstad stated he has been in contact
with the City of Bloomington as recent as last Wednesday afternoon, and at their
request and invitation he met with the City Manager of Bloomington together with
Bloomington's City Attorn ey,at which time a new proposed layout was discussed.
The new location would be about 170 feet south of the present intersection (attached
as part of minutes along with memo dated May 9, 1979) .
Jim Ryan, Ryan Construction Company, stated they were asked to look at the revised
alignment to see what affect it would have on their proposal . Basically the
proponentrs drawing as shown has been revised to incorporate the new alignment.
From Super Valu' s standpoint there is some loss of parking approximately 25 cars,
and the proponents have the responsibility within the setback requirements of
Eden Prairie to pick up 12 cars across the bottom of the plan, In either case,
the proponents surpass the requirement that has been discussed with the City staff
and will reach approximately 6 cars per thousand. Ryan reiterated the proponents
have agreed to the additional dedication and to the new proposed layout location
for the traffic signal at Anderson Lakes Parkway and County Road 18. It is Super
Valu's understanding the intersection would be improved; the lights would go in,
and Super Valu has committed to an expenditure of $70,060, and The Preserve has
committed to an additional $10,000. The other change they have incorporated in this
plan is initially there was 75 feet from center line to center line between the
two cuts entering the center, now they have relocated their service cut an additional
50 feet to the east making it 125 feet, which seems to be a workable situation.
Ryan also addressed the landscaping and screening and answered questions of
Council members.
Penzel requested City 'Engineer Jullie to give an opinion on the separation of
Garrison Way and the service entrance as proposed, as well as the main entrance
to the center on the curve.
Jullie responded the separation of their service entrance from Garrison Way is 125
feet as proposed and Ordinance No.93 requires 150 feet. Jullie stated he does
not see a large traffic volume, it is basically trucks serving the Center.
Council Minutes - 3 - Tues. ,May 15, 1979
A. Super Valu Shopping Center (continued)
According to Jullie there is- plenty of stacking distance back from County Road
18 at the entrance on the beginning of the curve, which is one of the most important
concerns that cars don't stack up on to County Road 18 to get into the Center. !'
Jullie noted the grades are relatively flat so that there is not a steep curve
where cars would be accelerating and going at higher speeds than would be !
anticipated at an intersection. Jullie felt this is an acceptable design.
Osterholt noted the shopping center under consideration has essentially one
entrance, or two if you count the service entrance that the truck traffic would
use for serving the center; however, there is only one entrance on County Road 18.
Therefore all the traffic will be congregated from the proposed shopping mall in
one location and this is not the best traffic plan.
Jullie added the County required that no access be provided off County Road 18
as they felt access could be gained off of the parkway, thus the County
recommended denial of that access.
Linda Flavin;-9360 County Road 18, asked the Council to consider the teelings of
everyone woo would hp located around the nrnnnsed shoppi nn ranter rl Mvi n av,Ml a;no.�
they have put a lot of money in their home and they would be looking directly into
the parking lot.
Judy Gilberstadt, 9480 Garrison Way, does -not feel the adjacent property owners
know about the proposed shopping center and that real estate next to the shopping
center would go down.
John Wolcott, 9508 Garrison Way, asked what appreciable change the direction of
the road made, if any, to berming or snugging the shopping center closer to the
houses. Ryan responded they have not changed the layout of the shopping center
and the berming is remaining as initially indicated with the exception of the
property to be dedicated.
Penzel referred to petition received this evening in support of the shopping center
and requested same be made part of the minutes.
Wolcott asked if the City has done any studies on what the traffic patterns would
be from bending Anderson Lakes Parkway? Jullie replied the radius on the curves
are about 300 feet on the center line and he felt that was acceptable, and that the
grades are relatively flat and that with a good stacking distance of about 400 to
500 feet back from County Road 18 from the entrance he feels it is acceptable.
Rick Hester, 9360 Garrison Way, stated it seems a shopping center that size with
one intersection and one entrance would have a large amount of traffic, and
questioned what it would be like at 4:30 PM in the afternoon when people have to go
past it on their way home.
Joe Duffy, 9440 Clubhouse Road, spoke in favor of the shopping center as he does not
think it is fair to have one shopping center on the far end of town.
Tim Pierce, 16669 Honeysuckle Lane, commented if people bought a home and were lead
to believe nothing was going to happen at this location, they should have legal
recourse against the people that told them.
Joe Bilcik, 9432 Clubhouse Road, spoke in favor of the shopping center as now it takes;°
him 25 - 30 minutes to get to a grocery store and with the energy problem this is too
far to drive.
Council Minutes - 4 - Tues. ,May 15, 1979
A. Super Valu Shopping Center (continued)
z
Don Urban, 11345 Lanewood Circle, explained he bought property in this area for his
daughter not knowing a shopping center was being considered at this location.
Mr. Urban commented he lived for seven years by Shopper's City in St. Louis Park
which people hated because of the semis, garbage and noise.
Penzel questioned what would the recommendation be on addressing the concern of the
access from County Road 18 to the existing trail into The Preserve? Jullie replied
it would be staff's suggestion that when the signalization plans, the widening
plans and the improvement of Anderson Lakes Parkway from County Road 18 going
to the west are developed, a provision for a 8 foot bituminous trailway to run
parrallel with Anderson Lakes Parkway would extend all the way back westerly
over to The Preserve underpass trail connnection back by the Trail 's townhouses
would be included. Thus, that could be part of the whole improvement package.
Ed Sharockman; 9250 Overlook Trail , spoke in favor of the proposed Jerry's Super
Valu as he used to shop at the one in Edina and feels it is an excellent store. 3
Further Sharockman felt signing in the area indicated a possibility of such a
shopping center happening.
MOTION: Redpath moved seconded b Edstrom to close the Public Hearing. Motion
P Y �- 9 l
carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to give a 1st Reading to Ordinance
No. 79-01, rezoning 10 acres from Rural to C-Commercial located in the southwest
quadrant of Anderson Lakes Parkway and County Road 18 for the Super Valu Shopping
Center.
Osterholt spoke in opposition to the motion statinq he does feel the imaact on the
homes that adjoin the property is severe, the traffic problem is going to
accelerate on Anderson Lakes Parkway because it is a poor traffic plan, and it is
not in the highest and best use of the land. The land as originally proposed was
for a combination of a covenience center and multiple dwelling.
Redpath spoke in favor of the motion and commented he agrees this is an intersection
which has to be straightened out. Further if people go to Applebaum's store in the
Eden Prairie Center the only way people will get there is through Anderson Lakes
Parkway, and multiple housing would also make a traffic pattern. This is also a
good way to get signalization.
Edstrom spoke in favor of the motion commenting this section of Eden Prairie needs
this type of development. The City needs a shopping center in this portion of
the City for people that are there and *also for those who are moving in. Also from
the standpoint of the City, this proposal assists in solving a very difficult
transportation 'situation at the intersection of County Road 1.8 and Anderson Lakes
Parkway.
Pauly spoke in favor of the motion and commented the traffic situation which was
originally discussed with the high density multiple use ssn't really that different
in the number of trips per day as the shopping center. Pauly stated she was in
favor basically for the reasons of the previous PUD, the traffic, and the fact
that it has been demonstrated by The Preserve that there are an awful lot of people
in the area that do want the shopping center. It appears to be a good project
and a project that has been called for in the City' s new guide plan somewhere in
that inunediate area.
Council Minutes - 5 - Tues. ,May 15, 1979
A. Su er Valu Shopping Center (continued)
Penzel comented in weighing the pluses and minuses this makes for a very difficult
decision. Ultimately he concluded he is interested in traffic safety for the whole r�
City, interested in protecting people as much as possible from things that might
affect them in their surroundings, and weighing those things he came to the con-
clusion that while he is not crazy about the proposal he will support the motion.
Penzel felt the proposal has improved substantially since it was first proposed.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to call the previous question. Motion
carried unanimously. 1

accommodate the service traffic.
patily rentioctPrt Staff an hack to the County with a reauest for a right-in. right-out

MOTIONN: Pauly moved, seconded by Edstrom, to direct staff to draft a developer's

Planning Commission and Parks , Recreation & Natural Resources Commission
recommendations, shielding of the dock area and disposal areas, the bicycle
trail along Anderson Lakes Parkway from County Road 18 to The Preserve underpass,

and the provision of adequate berming to screen the site lines to a minimum in
all cases of from 5 feet above the first level of the adjoining properties, and
a thorough investigation of the access to Anderson Lakes Parkway particularly as
related to the service entrance to be accomplished prior to signing of the
developer's agreement. Further that staff be directed to investigate the
feasibility of restricting deliveries to no later than 10:00 PM and the store
hours to less than 24 hours a day. Motion carried unanimously.
8. Cooperative Power Association, request for PUD approval on I-5 zoned land for
exceeding 50 office use and for construction of a tower. Located in the southwest
corner of Mitchell Road and T.N. 5 Resolution No. 79-93
Don Brauer, Brauer & Associates, Ltd.. ,Inc. , spoke to the proposal and answered
questions of Council members.
Planning Director Enger explained this item was reviewed by the Planning Commission
at their April 9th meeting and was recommended for approval to the Council on a
7 - 0 vote subject to items in the April 6th Staff Report.
O'sterholt stated he would prefer to see the utilities in the street right-of-way.
Larry Harrison, Registered Engineer with Cooperative Power Association, spoke
to the brochure entitled "Biological Effects of Microwaves" dated 9/17/65,
and commented they have filed and received approval from the Federal Aviation
Administration for the erection of the tower and it does not have to be marked
with lights or anything.
Redpath referred to his conversation with Mr. Fred Schmidt, 15101 West 78th Street,
who was present at the meeting earlier. At that time Mr. Schmidt indicated
he does not have any problem with the proposal .

B. Cooperative Power Association (continued)
Mr. Brauer answered concerns Mr. Wineberg, 7900 Mitchell Road, had regarding
the pond on the bulk of his property and explained they would try to maintain
the level that the pond is at now which is below the existing vegetation.
Osterholt referred to District. Engineer Crawford's letter dated March 21 , 1979
(attached as part of minutes) . Osterholt asked if the City has new cost estimates
on providing utilities using Mitchell Road upgraded as opposed to the plan
presented. Jullie responded City Staff could review how service can be provided
to the other properties and maybe this could be included with this project
somehow so we know the other properties are taken care of.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to close the Public Hearing for
Cooperative Power Association. Motion carried unanimously.

Council Minutes - 7 - Tues. ,May 15, 1979
D. Hartford Real Estate (continued)_
on questions relating to Hartford, Since 1973 I have had no rel Wonshlp with
ITT or Hartford and in my view no present conflict exists, I believe I am in a
position to judge the Hartford proposal on its' merits on behalf of the City of
Eden Prairie. "
Frank Sparicio, Hart Insurance Company, gave a brief background of their company
and showed slides of other properties they have throughout the country.. Spa ricio
explained he met with two resident groups at two meetings and a lot of concerns
were surfaced which helped Hartford to refine their proposal . The proponents
have tried to cover no more than 50% of the total land with hard surface covering.
Hartford hopes to open the building by January of 1981 if the zoning is favorable.
Herb Ketcham, Architect with Architectural. Alliance, representing the proponents,
spoke to the landscaping, berming and the proposed development concept plan,
including roads and parking area. A scaled model of the proposal was also
displayed.
;l
City Planner.-Enger explained this item was reviewed at the March 26th and April 9th
Planning Commission meetings and was recommended to the Council for approval on a
7 - 0 vote, subject to the items in the Apr ill► 5th Staff Report. Cann" n.e tcri
there has been a voluntary Environmental Assessment Worksheet done on this project.
The Planning Commission felt that the proposal for the Hartford site was generally
consistent with the proposed '79 guide plan update and the Major Center Area
Report.
Director of Community Services Lambert stated the Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission reviewed the Hartford proposal on April 2nd and April 16th, .
and on April 16, 1979 the Commission recommended approval to the Council contingent
on the Planning Staff Report dated April 5th and the Community Services Report
dated April 12th.
Jim Book, Barton-Ashman Associates , spoke to the use of de-icing chemicals intended
to be used at the Hartford development as outlined in communication dated
March 30, 1979.
Osterholt questioned who would be responsible for cleaning and maintaining the
grit chambers for the runoff. Book explained they would be on a regular
scheduled maintenance basis and the grounds people will still watch for possible
problems which may occur. The City would not be resonsible for this maintenance.
Penzel commented since the original conception of The Preserve ana as a standing
policy of some vears, the Citv -has pursued the avoidance o` over lonq cul-de-sacs.
Given that consideration. Penzel felt it time to carry out the plan and provide for
the alternate access to the neighborhood and at least qive people a chance to exit
in two directions. He believes the connection of Center Way would be proper at
this time and urged the connection be made at the third phase of the proposed
road system.
George Bentley, 10800 Fieldcrest Drive, spoke in opposition to a direct Center Way
connection as Center'Way connects straight down to Anderson Lakes Parkway and
Anderson Lakes Parkway is planned on being a major thoroughfare and will be
lighted at Highway 169 and County Road 18. Bentley believes in five years it will
be a safety hazard with bicyclists, pedestrians and cars as it is the only way to get
to the park and to the pool .

B. Report of City Manager
1. Discussion on swimming pool fencing
r
City Manager Ulstad suggested if the Council considers a swimming pool
ordinance that the material of the fencing not be specified, other than
to state the fence be a certain height to keep intruders out.
Lambert explained he had been asked earlier by two residents in the s"
audience, Jenny Nicpon, 15981 North Hillcrest Court and Gayle Tyson,
15980 North Hillcrest Court, to relay their recommendations to the
Council , i.e. , that the fence be at least a six foot vertical board
unclimbable fence and also questioned how the ordinance would affect
existing swimming pools.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to direct the City Attorney
to draft a swimming pool ordinance for Council 's consideration.
Motion carried unanimously.

Council Minutes - 12 - Tues. ,May 15, 1979
1. Discussion on M. I .D.B. Guidelines (continued)
Osterholt spoke in favor of the proposed amendments commenting the public . _
or whoever develops is entitled to some formula or some idea of what the
City requires, and if we leave it openended then ft becomes the pleasure of
the Council . One of the problems is the law has been rewritten and
when there is a situation where the mortgage is placed with the private lender,
the present guidelines don't apply.
Tim Pierce, Acting Chairman of the Development Commission, explained the
commission felt no further revisions ought to be put on the guide—
lines as additional guidelines might hamper the Council or discourage some
worthwhile projects.
Redpath felt if each application was taken on its merits, the Council could
deny much easier then with the proposed amendments.

outlined.-in memo from Finance Director Frane. Osterhnl t and Penzel vote+
Edstrom, Pauly and Redpath voted "nay". Motion failed.

MEMO
TO: Mayor Penzei and Members of the City Council
FROM: Roger Ulstad, City Manager
DATE: May 90 1979
SUBJECT: Anderson Lakes Parkway/Co. Rd. 18 Signal Location ,
On Wednesday, May 9, the Bloomingtod City staff proposed a compromise
location for the •traffic signal at Anderson Lakes Parkway and Co. Rd, 18.
The new location would be 170 feet south of the present intersection, as
shown on the atia'ched drawinna- The curve radii Anderson -kcs Qaik -ra
y.s , u Nmmc;
would be 300 feet, which is minimal but still acceptable because of the
relatively short length of curves to travel.
Mr. Klossner from Hennepin County has agreed that this compromise location
is acceptable to the County. Mr. Jim Ryan, on behalf of Ryan Construction
Co. , has reviewed the new location and finds it acceptable. Mr. Ryan also
agreed to move the westerly entrance on Anderson Lakes Parkway to provide
150 feet of separation from Garrison Way, rather than only 75 feet as pre-
viously proposed.
if the Council chooses to proceed we would recommend that the Council direct
the staff to request Hennepin County to revise their preliminary plans and
prepare a cooperative agreement based upon the new location.
