B. Street name Chan es - Qluff� Boulevard and Bluff Road (Ordinance No. 80-20)
Continued rom July 1 , 1980
City Manager Ulstad explained at the July lst Council meeting the Council reviewedF
the present names of Bluffs Boulevard and Bluff Road, and there was a suggested
change to Bluff Road and also the Homeward Hills extension. At that meeting it
was decided that the Council wanted to reviev., this further so the Public Ileari ng
was continued to August 5, 1980, with instructions that the property owners be
renoti fied.
City Engineer Jullie displayed an overhead of the present road situation.
Tom Treno, 10356 Bluffs Boulevard, read from a petition signed by 87 residents
on Bluffs Boulevard expressing opposition to the proposal for changing Bluffs
Boulevard to blest Bluffs Boulevard, or to any change in the name of Bluffs
Boulevard (attached as part of minutes). Mr. Treno stated he does not believe
adding "East" or "West" will end the confusion The petitioners are in favor for
the most part in leaving the road as Bluffs Boulevard, and if a change has to be
made that a totally different street name be considered.
Ron Newman, 10407 Bluffs Boulevard, suggested if a change has to take place
that different names be given to the cul-de-sacs. Also if Bluffs Boulevard has
to be changed that it be a distinct name change, not "East" & "West" or "E" & "W" .
Steve Ring, 10336 Bluffs Boulevard, agreed with Mr. Newman's suggestions.
Ken Fasching, 10472 Bluffs Boulevard, suggested naming the cul -de-sacs in
alphabetical order rather than random names.
Hugh Brenner, 9599 Bluff Road, explained those residents living on Bluff Road have
had continuity of residence for up to 40 years , and it does seem to be a little
bit unfair that a developer comes in and happens to make a name that causes a little .
trouble later on, and then they have to change their name . The onus Should be on
whoever caused on,
confusion to correct it, rather than the people who have had
this name for such a long period of time.
Mrs. Rrenr."�r also expressed opposition to changing the Bluff i:oad name along
with D'r. Fred Eki-t--m, 91S45 Bluff Road.
Walter Janes , 10340 Bluffs Boulevard, strongly suggested a distinct name change
for Ccicll cul -de-sac and leaving the road otlt in front a distinct name, i .e. ,
110"Jewi}rd Hill!: Ro<<d or whatever. Further to petition the neighbors between now
and the 110xt Council meeting to see what they want:.
City Co!inci l ilinutes - 4 - Tues. ,August 5, 1980
B. Stt,uet nan�r_, chanI r__ Bluffs Boulevard and Bluff Road (continued)
Osterholt suggested consideration be given to calling the cul -de-sacs circles
rather than streets or avenues .
hSOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Redpath, to continue the Public Hearing
to September lb, 1980, for the purpose of allowing the residents to work with 1
City Engineer Jullie to develop 8 distinctive names for the cul-de-sacs ,
that Bluffs Boulevard as now constituted be renamed Homeward Hills Road down to
Rivervie:r Road , and to discontinue any consideration of name changes for
Bluff 'Road which would remain as is . Motion carried unanimously,
Penzel commented that Bluffs Boulevard should also be eliminated in the Bluffs
West 2nd/3rd Addition.
C. Proposed frontage road_ improvements along T. H. 5 between Fuller Road and Co. Rd.
4 (Resulu£ion ��o. 80-15U}
City Engineer Jullie spoke to the proposed project and assessments , and displayed
a graphic depicting same. Jullie recommended the Council consider ordering in
the improvements as the project is feasible.
Edstrom asked if City Eng-veer Jullie had any reactions from any of the owners ,
particularly those properties to the east.
Jullie replied he did send a copy of the feasibility report to all of the people
within the project and has had some reaction and some concern about the cost,
i .e. , Stewart Sandwich property owners feel that perhaps they now have a connection
that works quite well for there, and a gentleman from Birchwood Laboratories
called and said the problem at Hwy. 5 and Fuller Road is less now than before the
Stewart connection was made,
Max Kettlewell , Project Coordinator for E. A. Sween Company (formerly Stewart
Sandwich Company) , spoke in opposition to the proposed improvements inasmuch
as they don' t have any traffic going out onto Highway 5 now. They are satisfied
with their own approach and would not be interested in the proposed improvement
from the standpoint of cost and assessment.
Peter Petrulo, Executive Vice President of Operations for the F. A. Sween Company,
also spoke in oppos7tion to the proposed improvements.
Norman Villwock , Birchwood Laboratories , commented as Birchwood Laboratories
owns the largest acreage in the assessed area , they are opposed to this assessment.
hir. Villwock added they ere highly interested in solving the safety problem i
but feel the cost to them is excessive for this project.
Mr. McGregor , Amoco Oil Company, spoke in opposition to the project, i .e. , there is
about $100,000.00 spent on soil correction so there must be other more feasible
solutions , it doesn ' t serve a very big area , when you get over to Fuller Road
there is limited stack area , it appears the best solution would be the one with
Justus Lumbar, and this improvement project has limited benefit to Amoco.
Osterholt added one advantage to the Justus plan is it does add more acreage to
the project and therefore reduces the per acre assessment.
City Council Minutes 5 - Tues . ,August 5, 1980 `
C. E'rohgsed frontage road improvements along T.H. 5 between Fuller Road and Co. Rd.
MOTION: Osterhol t moved , seconded by Edstrom, to close the Public Hea ring and
instruct staff to prepare a feasbility report on 3 alternatives for potential
hearing on October 21 , 1980, those alternatives being: 1) between Fuller Road
and Co. Rd. 4, 2) between the Sween Company and Birchwood Laboratories property,
and 3) the southerly one (Justus property) . Motion carried unanimously.
D. Deer Creek PUD & Rezoning by T.G. C_ Development, Inc. Request for PUD concept
approval on 80 acres for single family, townhouse, quadra-miniums , and conmaercial
use; rezoning from Rural to RM 2.5 for first phase, preliminary plat approval ,
and approval of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet. Located east of 1itchell
Road,, south of Old Farm Quads , and north of Ridgewood West (Resolution No. 80-138 -
PUD; Ordinance No. 80-19 - rezoning; Resolution No. 80-139 - preliminary plat ; and
Resolution No. 80-140 - E.A.W. )
Bill Dolan, Project Engineer, spoke to the proposal and displayed graphics and
a model depicting same.
Bill Fierke, Vice President of Marketing for Orrin Thompson, showed slides of a
quads they have built in other communities and distributed a brochure of Town
Homes by Orrin Thompson.
City Planner Enger explained this item was considered at the May 12 , June 9,
June 23 and July 14th Planning Commission meetings. The Commission on July 14th
did recommend to the City Council approval of the PUD Concept for the 80 6cres ,
preliminary plat for the central portion, rezoning for the 1st phase from Rural to
RM 2.5 based on the plan dated. July 10, 1980, the staff report dat::d June 20, g
1980, and recommendations as outlined in the Planning1 Commission minutes dated
July 14, 1980. The Commission, also recommended approval of the Environmental
Assessment Worksheet.
Enger added that the Planning Commission felt that prior to proceeding with Phase
2 the connection out to Mitchell Road should be underway and that as part of
proceeding with Phase 2 that Anderson Lakes Parkway at least be an ordered in tyre
of project. Enger explained Mr. Carmody, the owner of the property for this
proposal , has been circulating a petition to surrounding land owners to extend
Anderson Lakes Parkway from Scenic Heights Road down through the Centex property.
Director of Community Services Lambert stated the Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission recommended approval to the City Council . Lambertaddressed
the 3 concerns expressed by the Cormission: 1) a trail connection between Mitchell
Road and Anderson Lakes Parkway, which has been satisfied with a 5 foot concrete
sidewalk, 2) that the pond on the south and the low space wetland area in the north-
central portion be preserved and tied in with the homeowner owned mini-park or
totlot, and 3) the Purgatory Creek Study referred to when development occurred in
this arealthat the City should secure a trail easement along the creek leading
down to Staring Lake and when that area is rezoned that the trail easenit- rt be
secured.
Mr. Fierke and. Mr. Dolan answered questions of Council members regarding the
proposal .
Penzel asked where the petition for Anderson Lakes Parkway is at this time?
Mr. Carmody replied he sent several copies of the petition out to the property
owners from Scenic Height's Road through Ridgewood, and he has the petition back
from Ridclewood, Centex and Northrup King signed. The people thLt are developing
Burning Tree haven ' t as yot signed the petition but are willing to. Tile bank who
owns approximately 1 ,300 feet on the north side are at this point unwilling to si qrl

D. Deer Creek PUD & RezoningL by T.G.C. Development, Inc. .(continued)
f Edstrom asked if any consideration has been given to requiring the opening to the
i west of Mitchell Road with the first phase of this development.
Enger replied the Planning Commission spent quite a lot of time with that idea in
mind and did make the recommendation that the first phase be allowed to continue
prior to the connection of the road. )
Edstrom commented from the park and recreation standpoint is there any
desirability of constructing a more substantial fence to protect the totlot from
the artery.
Lambert explained he talked to Enger about a fence when they first discussed
F- totlot right on the through street, and they felt the use of landscaping berms
would be used to discourage children from running out into the street.
Edstrom felt additional consideration should be given to more protection from
the street to the totlot.
Mr. Papenfuss, 8385 Mitchell Road, expressed concern about the 1st phase traffic
going down Mitchell Road which is going to get pretty crowded if Anderson Lakes
Parkway isn' t built sooner, and asked that provisions be made to 'take care of the
additional traffic.
Penzel explained that ultimately the concept is to reroute most of that traffic
along Anderson Lakes Parkway. The problem is that not all of the property owners
are enamored with the idea of extending it at this time. The Council will have to
look at the petitions , if and when it receives them, and at the same time keep
monitoring through the City staff what the traffic levels are on Mitchell Road
to see what the needs are toward the extension of Anderson Lakes Parkway between
Hwy. 169 where Scenic Heights and Mitchell Road now meet.
Letter from Sandra Sheperd, 14242 Chestnut Drive, was entered into the record.

5. Red Rock Park - Oxidate
Director of Community Services Lambert spoke to his memo dated July 23,
1980. Lambert felt it was essential to brine the problem with the acquisition
of the Red Rock Park before the Council sometime this summer. The same
memo was forwarded to the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission
on August 4th and the Commission decided to take action. Their recommenda-
tion was that if the City couldn' t negotiate for acquisition of the park
before the end of this year, that we enter into condemnation on the parcel .
Lambert added more and more development is being approved around the park
and we can ' t wait much longer.
Mr. Virgil Seifert, e•vner of the 14 acre parcel , stated the problem is the
developer he sold to two years ago is putting him off which makes him un-
certain just when he would want to sell ;;he park land. The developer who
bought the land is in default right now, and there is a very good chance Mr.
Seifert may get the property back a second time. Mr. Seifert added he
should have a decision from the developer by August 20, 1980.
Osterholt asked Mr. Seifert if he would be interested in the City's offer.
*Mr. Seifert stated he expects to sell the land eventually; however, was
insulted with the appraisal obtained by the City as the property was sold
8 years ago for $3,700.00 an acre, and has been assessed for the last 8 years
at $3,500.00 an acre. The City' s' appraisal is only for $2,000.00 an acre.
MOTION: Osterholt moved , seconded by Pauly, to continue this item to
the September 16, 1980 Council meeting, and to direct staff to look at
alternative sites which mioht be used in place of Mr. Seifert' s. Motion
carried unanimously.
6. Historic Parks
Director of Community Services Lambert spoke to his memo dated June 26, 1980
on City Historical Parks . Lambert explained he took this item to the
Parks, Recration & Natural Resources Commission on August 4th. The Parks ,
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission suggested that a joint meeting
be held with the City Council and the Historical & Cultural Commission.
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Pauly, to set a joint meeting for
the City Council to meet with the Historical & Cultural Commission and
the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Coiwiission to tour the 'rill
house on October 2, 1980 at 6: 30 PM. Motion carried unanimously.

1 am nr )r-red to three carts of the proposal. First , I think that
t)-f, cry -- 'c and swn^rr area snntzld be left as a nr^tested wild ? i 4'P
"irea. I have often i,��ne crass-enuritry skiing and hiring in this
arra. tin mnct visit-, , varying with the season , nrk- can see m^-1-7-p
rabbits , ducks , herons ,, etc. I feel Za t
:vild _ife area is -.n asset to the %:it ,- of Eden Prairie and its
destro.red by dPVPlor•"erzf.
, : ??✓ , I am nnrn -ed to crmmunity comr+ercial development in a
residential area because of the following reasons :
1 -adequate shopping exists nearby
2-1-rirt7s in re-rle from outside of the neighborhood who often are
r - t c ^reerned with the residents goals of neighborhood rreserva+ -gin.
-a c:�•^m�ro is i area has already been develnred along kfigiiwa.y 5 thq t
van h-use com'runit,y co•-mercial.
4-community commercial , i.f a dairy store , is a freq?ient target for
robberies which are not desirable in any neighborhood.
My third point of concern is the increasing population density
in the area of vhes tnut Drive and environs. Presently there are
120 units at Chestnut Apartments , about 84 units at Atherton ,
fad some in development at the Old Farmhnuse site , and , again
cinder construction , 64 at Burning Tree. (about 214 of these
units exit only onto Chestnut Drive) As you consider the approval
of the Deer Creek properties , I sincerely hone you will consider
the nro hlem4 created by over density of population and allow
no furthor building of apartments and condominiums in this area.
I , also have some comments to make on developer 's promises made
at prpvi^us c^uncil and planning meetings. The CPt developers
saic t'he y w-1 i Id screen their building with landscaping. To date ,
I see v-r,y tall weeds and dead trees on the Scenic heights boulevard
of the uPT ritA. Th^ developers of the Old Farmhouse site said
they would leave try,.;:= standing in their nro;j eet. Presently,
15% of the trees have been removed. As an Eden Prairie resident,
I am concerned about the uriwillingnecs of developers to carry out
tl-'re rrnmi.ses .
