IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Braun's Fashions , Inc. by Rauenhorst Corporation. Request to rezone from Rural
to I-2 and preliminary plat 9.95 acres into 1 lot and 1 outlot. Located north
of Valley View Road across from 9955 Valley View Road (Ordinance No. 80-13 and
Resolution No. 80-98)
Bob Worthington, Rauenhorst Corporation, representing the proponents, spoke to the
proposal and showed graphics depicting same. Worthington added that this
project will supersede the Briarfield Estates proposal .
Planning Director Enger explained this item was considered at the April 14 and
April 28, 1980 Planning Commission meetings. The Commission recommended
approval of the proposal to the Council on a 5 - 0 vote with 1 "abstention" ,
subject to the Staff Report dated April 11 , 1980.
Director of Community Services Lambert reported the Parks , Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission reviewed this proposal on May 19th and the Commission
recommended denial to the Council on a 6 - 1 vote. Lambert added the majority
of the discussion centered around the hill that is being cut about 50 feet
between the LeParc property and the building. Six members of the Commission
were upset with what the development looks like to the north and felt that
by removing the hill the whole gravel pit is opened up to what is supposedly
going to be residential to the south. The Commission felt this was a good place
to make a stand as far as stopping the leveling. If a proposal could be
developed that could maintain the hill it is acceptable. but with the hill coming
down they were opposed to it.
Pauly asked if Mr. Enger recalled how the cut and fill was proposed on Briarfield
Estates compared to the cut and fill on this proposal . Enger explained
the Briarfield Estates proposal was for a preliminary plat and rezoning of the
western portion of this property for duplexes. The proposal on this site
is for concept approval for apartment complexes and a restaurant. Although a
grading plan was not prepared for Briarfield Estates, their proposal would have
Tues. ,June 3, 1980
A. �$raun's Fashions , Inc. by Rauenhorst Corporation (continued)
required a substantial cut on that site as well . The hill is 50 feet high
and some uses could perhaps cut 20 feet, others 30 feet, etc. Braun's has
responded to the concern about leaving the hill which is largely unvegetated.
Once the hill is gone it opens up the entire industrial park to view and that
is why they have provided in their grading an interruption in the sight line
up near Valley View Road so that it wouldn' t be opened up to the entire
industrial park. The proponents have tried to replace the sight line
interruption where the hill was, with interruptions consisting of berms and
landscaping.
Osterholt questioned when we get into the grading of Valley View Road (County
Road 39) on the final phase, will there be County participation on that?
City Engineer Jullie replied he would hope so, however, the County has said they
don't have any funds and they don't have it in their five-year capital
improvement program. Right now the City' s State Aid. Funds are programmed for
several other projects and the County has reviewed the access points and find
that the sight distances are okay and the road structure is sufficient to handle
additional traffic. Jullie added it surely would be better to have the grade
lowered at this time but there is just not the wherewithal to do it.
Discussion took place regarding outside storage, and Osterholt asked if the
proponents know outside storage is not permitted on this property. Worthington
acknowledged they do understand they cannot have outside storage on the
property.
Osterholt asked if Braun's intends to ask for MIDB' s. Worthington replied in the
affirmative.
Pauly questioned how firm the planned residential is for the remainder of the
parcel. Worthington replied the entire parcel is going to be owned by Braun's .
They, in turn, once this development has taken place will be brokering the
balance of the property to a residential developer.
Pauly further asked how logical it is to put in a residential development which
is pretty much surrounded by industrial . Worthington responded he felt that is
a policy that should be made by the City. If the Planning Commission and City
Council after studying this feel it should be something else, that is fine, but
it should be initiated by the City and not by Braun's.
City Planner Enger added both the Smetana Lake Sector Study, the 1968
Comprehensive Guide Plan and the 1979 Comprehensive Guide Plan all illustrate
industrial or high density residential for this general area.
Jay Peterson, 11179 Windrow Drive, asked if Braun's is going to have a rear
access for the semis for sure. Worthington explained they have been in contact
with the owners of the LeParc property and they have consented to an access.
Worthington added if there is a choice they prefer to go with sanding of the
road first, as opposed to being forced to go through the LeParc development
even though the consent is granted. In the long run there may be some legal
issues that may, even though they have good intentions, create some problems
as to who is going to be responsible for upkeep and maintenance, liability, etc.
Osterholt added he has problems relying on private enterprise to sand the road.
Mr. Peterson felt another access is necessary because if a truck gets stuck ! '
it is impossible to pass on the hill . :
i
Pauly asked if the Council were to approve this proposal with the Valley View
Road option allowing Braun's to sand it, can the City enforce that in a
developer's agreement? ,
Lity councii Minutes - w - iues. ,June 3, $ 980
A. BrAun's Fashions ,Inc. by Rauenhorst Corporation (continued)
City Attorney Pauly replied his reaction to having a private party sand public
roads is inviting some problems as he does not know if it can be enforced and
how the standards could be drawn.
City Manager Ulstad added sanding Valley View Road is a County responsibility,
and the County would have to respond to it in the same manner they respond to k.
residential streets. If Braun' s chose to sand with some kind of rig,
it is up to the County to say "no" they can' t, or "yes", they can.
Councilwoman Pauly asked if this could be one of those situations if it
were allowed to happen would become so bad the County would have to come and do
something about it. Jullie replied it certainly would add to the warrants
for upgrading, but as he sees it on those days when it is that bad the trucks
are just going to have to go the other direction (as they are leaving Braun's
turn and go west on Valley View Road to Hwy. 169 rather than attempt to go
up a steep grade) .
Ulstad explained the County does not have any funds and as that area continues
to develop as it has in the past, he feels the City is going to make a request
. to
the County to make some improvements. Ulstad envisions the City as having
to carry the ball and assess the improvements over the entire area.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Osterholt, to continue the Public Hearing
for Braun's Fashions,and directed Staff to research if there is a way to
resolve the matter of grade and access to the property. Motion carried
unanimously.
B. Northmark East by Ban-Con. Request to rezone 5.2 acres from Rural to
RM 6.5 and preliminary plat the property for 32 quadra-minium units.
Located West of Center Way, across from Hyland Terrace and Northmark
Drive. (Ordinance No. 80-14 and Resolution No. 80-99)
Hans Hagen, Ban-Con Corporation, presented the development plans to the
Council .
City Planner Enger explained this item was reviewed by the Planning Commission
on April 28, 1980. The Commission recommended approval of the proposal on a
4 0 vote with 1 "abstention", subject to the Planning Staff Report dated
April 23, 1980, which Mr. Enger detailed for the Council .
Director of Community Services Lambert reported the Parks, Recreation &
Natural Resources Commission reviewed this proposal on May 19, 1980, and the
Commission recommended approval unanimously to the Council as per the Planning
Staff Report dated April 23, 1980.
Wayne Jorgenson, 11240 Windrow Drive, asked why Center Way was terminated as
a flow through road. Enger replied last year Hartford Development Corporation
proposed on 163 acres north of this residential area an office park. Originally
10 years ago when Center Way was contemplated the City felt and developers
felt that there may be an additional higher residential area up north of the
existing residential , and it was for this purpose that Center Way was continued.
When that concept slowly changed over the years to the point where it is
office land use and when that land use was reviewed the residents in the area
were particularly opposed to the connection of Center Way to the more commercial
area. Their feeling was commercial traffic would shortcut through the I
residential area , thus Center Way was terminated.

B. Northmark East by Ban-Con (continued) x
Jorgenson added the Ban-Con quadra-miniums proposed seem fine, however, there are
a lot of quads in Bloomington across County Road 18 which he feels do not look
very nice, and asked the Council in the future whenever quads are being
considered in Eden Prairie that the Council be careful about the quality of the
homes and the compactness so that there is essential living space. In the
Preserve area there is one park in the center of the area which is serving -
an awful lot of children and he thinks it is important to allow for living spaces s
whether they be called tot lots or park areas, and also be aware of the beauty
of the homes and the aesthetics of the area not just trying to cram them in.
r
Pauly thanked Mr. Jorgenson for his comments and complimented Mr. Hagen on the
attractive design of the proposed quadra-miniums. i
Jay Peterson, 11179 Windrow Drive, commented he sees this project as adding
a tremendous amount of traffic to Center Way, which is already a lot busier Y
road than he expected to be living on. Mr. Peterson asked if it is
possible to return the access to the area directly to Preserve Boulevard.
Enger recited two reasons for not returning the access to the area directly
to Preserve Boulevard: 1) the Northmark East and Northmark West parcels are
independent parcels, not connected by common ownership. The parcel inbetween
` is owned and zoned as a part of the Hartford Insurance proposal which would be
for berms and the parking lot areas and that type of thing and 2) it would
create a cul-de-sac in excess of perhaps a 1/4 to 1/2 mile in length. From a
technical standpoint the City would like to try and stay away from long dead-
end cul-de-sacs. Center Way was designed originally as a through road, so it was
designed to carry significantly higher traffic volumes than it is now carrying,
and certainly does have the capacity, to carry 32 additional units.
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing and
give a 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 80-14, rezoning 5.2 acres from Rural to
RM 6.5 for 32 quadra-minium units for Northmark East by Ban -Con. Motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Osterholt, to adopt Resolution No. 80-99,
approving the preliminary plat for Northmark East by Ban-Con. Motion carried
unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Osterholt, to direct staff to draft a
developer's agreement incorporating the recommendations of the Planning
Commission/Parks , Recreation & Natural Resources Commission and Staff Report
dated April 23, 1980, including map on page 4 of the Report. Motion carried
unanimously.
Larry Peterson, representing The Preserve, requested the Council to consider
granting a grading permit allowing them to start grading on Northmark West
subject to the approval of the Watershed District.
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Redpath , to grant the request by
Mr. Peterson for the issuance of a grading permit for
Northmark West subject to the approval of the Watershed District
and review in advance by City Staff. Motion carried unanimously.
City Council Minutes - 6 - Tues. ,June 3, 1980
C. Northmark West by Ban-Con. Request to rezone 11 .7 acres from Rural to
RM 6.5 and preliminary plat the property for 68 quadra-minium units.
Located east of Preserve Boulevard and North of Westwind Addition.
(Ordinance No. 80-15 and Resolution No. 80-100)
Hans Hagen, Ban-Con Corporation, spoke to the proposal and displayed graphics
depicting same.
',- City Planner Enger explained this item was heard at the May 12, 1980 Planning
Commission meeting, and the Commission recommended approval to the Council
on a 4 - 0 vote with 1 "abstention" as per the Staff Report dated April 22,
1980.
Director of Community Services Lambert added the Parks , Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission considered this item on May 19, 1980 and recommended
unanimous approval to the Council as per the Planning Staff Report dated
April 22, 1980.
Osterholt referred to concerns expressed by residents regarding the storm
drainage, and requested that any problems be resolved with the Engineering
Department prior to any construction.
Osterholt further added it was the indication of the developer that people
moving into the quadra-miniums do not intend to have families so there is not
a need for tot lots; however, he asked Staff b-afore a 2nd Reading to make
inquiries of the areas where there are quadra-miniums in Eden Prairie and
Bloomington and find out from the School District how many children are enrolled
in those areas. If we find the opposite is true, we should have some kind
of playfields or play areas for the children.
4LLambert commented there was some discussion at the Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission regarding this situation, and it was pointed out the
developer's are willing to construct a tot lot. However, there is a tot lot
located not very far south of Northmark West so the Commission suggested a rest
area with bench, picnic table, etc. , to be put along the trailway instead of
putting in a tot lot which may not be used.
Osterholt asked that the figures still be provided to the Council , as residents
of Northmark may feel this development should provide some of those amenities.
Don Irving, 11345 Lanewood Circle, asked if the developer could take some of the
nice big rocks that are located within the development and put in his area for a
berm as the 3 houses, one of which he owns , do not have a berm or any land-
scaping. Mr. Hagen stated he could move the rocks if Mr. Irving so desired
and displayed a new landscaping plan which does define the area which Mr.
Irving expressed concern about. The new plan consists of different size and
types of plant materials and Mr. Hagen added they are planning to meet with
City Staff to review the landscaping plan. If the landscaping plan meets the
staff's approval , they will be willing to proceed with same.
Mr. Irving felt the new landscaping plan as detailed by Mr. Hagen would seem to
satisfy his request. Council suggested Mr. Hagen meet with Mr. Irving on the
landscaping plan, which Loth parties agreed to do.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Osterholt, to close the Public Hearing
and give a 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 80-15, rezoning 11 .7 acres from
Rural to RM 6. 5 for 68 quadra-minium units for Northmark West by Ban-Con.
Motion carried unanimously.
.x
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No.
80-100, approving the preliminary
plat for Northmark West by Ban-Con.
Motion, carried una ni,mously.
City Council Minutes - 7 - Tues. ,June 3, 1980
C. Northmark West by Ban-Con (continued)
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Redpath, to direct Staff to draft a
developer' s agreement incorporating the recommendations of the Planning
Commission/Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission and Staff
Report dated April 22, 1980. Further that the concerns be addressed
regarding storm drainage, tot lot, and landscaping plan. Motion carried
unanimously.
D. Request for Municipal Industrial Development Bond approval in the amount
of 1 ,750,000.00 for Wilson Learning Corporation Resolution No. 80-102.
Steve Jacobs, Dain Bosworth Incorporated, representing the proponents as the
agent in the proposed transaction,spo ke to the application as submitted to the
Council . Jacobs believes this project satisfies both State and Federal law
and will add substantially to the tax base, and it is presently anticipated
that they will be employing approximately 30 additional people after the
completion of the project. Dain Bosworth Incorporated will be representing
Wilson Learning Corporation as an agent and the bond will be placed privately
with a financial institution. Jacobs added Wilson Learning is a private
company and they wish to stay that way. They are looking at mid-summer for
the sale of the bonds.
Osterholt asked what is the anticipated life of the equipment and length of
terms of the bonds. Mr. Jacobs replied typically what they do is structure
the bond issue in two parts: 1) a shorter term maturity that represents
the investment in equipment, and 2) a longer maturity term for brick and mortar.
Wayne Jorgenson, 11240 Windrow Drive (Assistant Vice President and registered !.
... representative of Piper, Jaffray & Hopwood) , spoke against the request for
MIDB's for Wilson Learning Corporation and asked the Council to consider what
the original purpose of municipal bond offerings or IDR's were when they were
established many years ago. Municipal bond offers or IDR's, according to
Mr. Jorgenson, were oftentimes brought about to help industry to bring in
employment to the community. Jorgenson added along with that should be
considered the fact that Wilson Learning Corporation is already established,
that they are an ongoing concern, and consider the fact they should not be using
taxpayers money to subsidize that corporation's expansion. It is altogether
possible, Jorgenson stated, this corporation could go out and privately place
their own funds, which is called corporate bonds or corporate debt, and not use R
government subsidies to do so. Also Jorgenson asked the Council to consider what
the government funds are being used for as far as resale value of the equipment,
reuse of the property and building, should the company default.
Mr. Jacobs replied Wilson Learning Corporation did apply to Twin City Federal
for conventional financing and Twin City Federal said "no". Wilson Learning
has had an 8-year history with TCF in the past and they are current on their
obligations with. TCF. Revenue bonds are not subsidized by taxpayers; revenue
bonds are sold to institutions, individuals and banks. The interest on revenue
bonds is tax exempt in the hands -of the holder. There is no governmental
assistance and there is no subsidy by residents of Eden Prairie and there is
nothing that affects their individual taxes. In fact, it can be argued that the
new facility proposed when it goes on the real estate taxes will supply
additional services. In 1933, Mississippi was the first state to adopt
industrial revenue bond financing. Their purpose which was taken right from
Federal Statutes , was to balance industry with agriculture. They had a
significant amount of agriculture and very little industry, and they said that
the public purpose is to bring in new or endure existing firms to stay within the
State. Mississippi has been the example that every other state had adopted some states have adopted a little more conservative law and others a more liberal

D. Request for MIDB' s for Wilson Learning Corporation (continued)
law. In the literal interpretation of the State laws this is not a subsidy,
this is a corporate debt, guaranteed by Wilson Learning Corporation, and it meets
all the State and Federal guidelines.
Edstrom asked why Wilson Learning Corporation was turned down by Twin City Federal .
Matthew Juechter, President of Wilson Learning Corporation, replied the only reason
TCF turned them down was because TCF didn' t have any money as they are only able
to raise money through the deposits that they have in their institutions on which
they pay 8, 9 or 10%, and there are opportunities for people to deposit money
elsewhere where they can earnl2, 13, 14 or 15%, thus leaving the savings and loan
institution with no money to give to their customers. Juechter addea TCF is very
happy with Wilson Learning Corporation' s financial picture. The following is
the employment record of Wilson Learning Corporation as supplied by Mr. Juechter:
1977 - 66 employees; 1978 - 78 employees; 1979 - 93 employees; and 130 employees
anticipated in 1980. The actual number of total employees in the company at the
end of the fiscal year on April 30 has already reached 161 , of which approximately
30 are not residents of Eden Prairie, Wilson Learning Corporation has been growing
approximately 35 to 40% a year, and the majority of employees live in Eden Prairie.
Osterholt stated he appreciated Mr. Jorgenson' s remarks and by way of information
the City has developed a set of guidelines which he invited Mr. Jorgenson to look at.
Further Osterholt invited Mr. Jorgenson to submit any suggestions to the Council
which he may have. Osterholt added the Council in the past has not approved all
requests for MIDB' s.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to close the Public Hearing and
adopt Resolution No. 80-102, approving the request for Municipal. Industrial
Development Bonds in the amount of $1 ,750,000.00 for Wilson Learning Corporation.
Motion carried unanimously.
E. Establishment of an F1RA (Housing & Redevelopment Authority) for Tax Increment
financing Resolution ',o. 83-112
a
Finance Director Frane spoke to his memo dated May 15, 1980, and the two additional
Public Hearings which must be held by the Council in order for the HRA to proceed
on a given project as per State Statutes.
City Attorney Pauly explained the real objective of considering the adoption of
a Housing & Redevelopment Area this evening is ultimately to adopt a Tax Increment
Plan for a Tax Increment District, specifically in the Major Center Area and
specifically for the construction of improvements such as roads, etc. , to complete
the Ring Route and other access and feeder roads. In order to adopt a tax increment
financing plan it is necessary to have a vehicle, in the first instance, for that plan.
One of those vehicles is a Housing & Redevelopment Authority such as is being proposed
this evening.
City Attorney Pauly added another of those vehicles is a so-called Development District
under another Minnesota Statutes (Chapter 472A. ). He has discussed with various
people the possibility of the viability of utilizing the Development District other
than the Housing & Redevelopment Authority as that vehicle. Pauly explained the
Development District vehicle has some legal questions because of some language in the
act which spells out the legislative intention or purpose of the act. It is the
opinion of some of the people from the Dorsey firm that the language which talks
about development of a built-up type of area would indicate that particular chapter '
is not suitable for this specific kind of development. x
r,
City Council Minutes - 9 Tues. ,June 3, 1980
E. Establishment of an HRA (Housing & Redevelopment Authority) for Tax Increment
Financing continued
City Attorney Pauly stated on the other hand, the representative from the Dorsey
office recognizes that the Major Center Area is "A" typical of a district to which
a Housing & Redevelopment Authority would apply, and they do feel that there is
sufficient authority granted by the Legislature in the act through amendments , etc. ,
which would make a reasonable case for the use of Tax Increment Financing
Pauly continued, there will be a series of Public Hearings after this one tonight
if the Council chooses to adopt the HRA approach - the second hearing with reference
to a development project, and the third hearing with reference to a Tax Increment
District. It is felt that through that process of Public Hearings it will give
everyone an opportunity to sense the appropriateness and the acceptance of this plan.
The Council is under certain time constraints because of the Tax Increment Law.
The City may be able to pick up some of the increased assessed valuations attributable
to certain projects which are even now in the building if all of this can be adopted
prior to this Fall.
On the basis of his review and discussions , Pauly suggested that the only viable
alternative at this point is the adoption of the Housing & Redevelopment Act.
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Redpath , to close the Public Hearing and
adopt Resolution No. 80-112, establishing a Housing & Redevelopment Authority
for the City of Eden Prairie, and instructing staff to pursue the alternative of a
Development District approach with a report to the Council prior to the 2nd
Hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
V. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS NOS. 1703 - 1859'

1703 - 1859; Osterholt "abstained" on Claim No. 1820 and voted "aye" on all other
Claims Nos. ; and Pauly "abstained" on Claim No. 1794 and voted "aye" on all other
Claims Nos. Motion carried.
VI. REPORTS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS
A. Report from the Hunting/Shooting Zone Committee
City Manager Ulstad explained Captain Keith Wall was the staff representative
to the Hunting/Shooting Zone Committee and at this point the committee is
submitting a report to the Council as requested. At some point in time the
Council may want to, based on this report, change some of the hunting
boundaries and also incorporate some of the restrictions that are recommended
relative to the Mitchell Lake area.
Osterholt requested that maps be provided to the Council delineating the
specific areas for hunting as the map the Council received was too broad.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Osterholt, to instruct the Staff and City
Attorney to draft an ordinance to be submitted to the Council for review at
the July 1 , 1980 Council meeting incorporating the recomr*enations of the
