mately 5 acres , preliminary plat approval of 6 lots and 3 outlots , possible
variances from the I-2 District, and approval of an Environmental Assess-
ment Worksheet. Located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of
County Road 67 and Chicago Northwestern Railway - (Resolution No. 82-191 -
PUG, Ordinance No. 82-21 - rezoning, Resolution No. 82-192 - preliminary
plat, and Resolution No. 82-193 - EAW) - (Continued from August 3, 1982)
John Shardlow, Howard Dahlgren and Associates , addressed the proposal and
explained the changes which had been made since the last presentation.
Director of Planning Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed this
proposal at its August 9, 1982, meeting and recommended approval of Plan B
to the Council . This includes the east-west through road, industrial use
south of this road with a 200' buffer to the south and a 75' buffer to the
east, and three residential lots at the End of Manchester Lane. The motion
carried by a 6 - i vote.
Wayne Gilbertson , 6580 Leesborough Avenue, said he was in favor of Plan B
which shows the industrial rather than multi-family use south of the east-
west connecting road.
Roger Sandvick, 14280 Stratford Road, expressed concern about Plan 8;
he would like to see modification. He would like to see the buffer to
the south increased by 20%, the buffer to the east increased by 33%, and
the proposed building be reduced in size by 25%. This would lessen the
impact on the adjoining residential area.
Woodrow Bjork, 14302 Stratford Road, said he concurs with Sandvick's
statement. He favors the alternative shown in Plan B.
Dick Sather, 6511 Manchester Lane, said he supports the project but has
some concern about the collector road.
City Council Minutes -4- August 17, 1982
Redpath said he recalled some discussion at the August 3rd meeting about
the channelization of industrial traffic on the east-west connector. This
would lessen the impact on the traffic east of this area . as industrial
traffic would be restricted and could only go north or west. Edstrom asked
about the width of the road which will be required through the area. Staff
said no determination had been made yet as to exactly where the road would
connect at the Eden Prairie Partnership and Centurion property lines.
Sandvick said by increasing the southerly buffer by 20% a large number of
trees will be saved thus creating more of a natural buffer. Redpath noted
PUD concept approval is under discussion and not a specific building for
the site.
Shardlow said he had told Sandvick and Bjork that he will work with them
when a specific development for that site is ready. He stressed that it
is the proponent' s feeling that a 250' buffer is more than adequate for
that site.
Tom Striker, 6540 Leesborough Avenue, stated he is in favor of the indus-
trial usage shown in Alan B.
Bentley asked for clarification as to what is being requested where. Enger
outlined the requests on a map. Bentley asked if there would be a built-in
recommendation that approval be obtained for each building. Enger said it
was suggested that each specific site be returned to the City for site plan
review. Bentley said if that is the case, then discussion of those specifics
should wait until that time.
Redpath noted this particular area has been a problem for a number of years
and this will allow the City the opportunity to straighten things out.
Bentley questioned the rezoning of Outlot C without a specific proposal
before the Council .
R.A. Wyman, 6560 Leesborough Avenue, said he supports Plan B.
Edstrom asked what will become of the buffer area between the industrial
and residential uses. Shardlow said that is a concern to them also --
whether it is zoned industrial or remains rural does not matter -- but the
question of liability will be of importance. The only concern at this time
is whether or not it will be considered in the setback and lot coverage
when it comes time for development.
Jan Anderson , 6591 Manchester Lane, said she thought there would be two lots
on Manchester Lane and not three as shown. Shardlow said the three lots
shown are slightly larger than the lots which are in the area.
Phil Malier, 14202 Stratford Road, said he supported Plan B; Plan A would
change the watershed and the drainage in the area.
City Council Minutes -5- August 17, 1982
City Attorney Pauly asked Shardlow if he would have any problem with
imposing restrictive covenants on portions of the lots which would require
setbacks to preserve them. Shardlow said he presumed and fully expected r
that to be done via the PUD process. Pauly said his preference on this
issue would be to zone the entire lot and then impose the conditions rather
than to . cut the lots up.
Edstrom asked if the Council is in a position to approve the preliminary
plat due to the lack of definite road right-of-way? Enger said the geometries
of the road would have to be worked out as well as the exact lot configurations
and these might result in slight changes in the final plat.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Bentley, to close the Public Hearing and
to adopt Resolution No. 82-191, approving the Eden Prairie Partnership Planned
Unit Development. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Redpath , to adopt Resolution No. 82-192,
approving the preliminary plat of Eden Prairie Partnership. Motion carried
unanimously.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Edstrom, to adopt Resolution No. 82-193,
finding the Environmental Assessment Worksheet for Eden Prairie Partnership
a Private Action does not require an Environmental Impact Statement. Motion
carried unanimously.
The proponent withdrew the request for rezoning until he has a site specific
proposal .
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Edstrom, to direct Staff to draft the De-
veloper' s Agreement including the recommendations of the Staff Report, those
of the Planning Commission and the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Com-
mission and including the construction of berms, etc. in Phase I , Staff and
the developer will work together on the road connection,.- setbacks will be
described from the standpoint of elevations and plantings. Motion carried
unanimously.
C. KINGS FOREST by Centurion Company. Request for Guide Plan change of approxi-
mately 70 acres from low to medium density residential , Planned Unit Develop-
ment approval of 31 single family and 153 townhouses , rezoning of 15 acres
from Rural to R1-13. 5 and 33 acres from Rural to RM 6.5, preliminary plat
approval over the 70 acres , possible variances from the R1-13.5 and RM 6.5
Districts , and approval of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet. Located
west of Baker Road and Crosstown Baptist Church, south of St. John's Woods,
and east 'of West 66th Street' s easterly terminous (Resolution No. 82-187 -
Guide Plan change, Resolution,No. 82-188 - PUD, Ordinance No. 82-20 - rezoning,

continued from August 3, 1982
i
City Council Minutes -6- August 17, 1982
Ron Bastyr, McCombs-Knutson Associates, Inc. , and Len Thiel , Centurion
Company, were present. Bastyr addressed the changes which had been made
in the proposal since the last meeting.
Planning Director Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed the
proposal- at its August 9, 1982, meeting at which time it had recommended
approval of the alternate plan for Kings Forest Addition: a cul-de-sac
on the western portion of the property, an east/west road which would
extend from Baker Road on the east to the western property line,
the connection to St. John's Woods Drive connection be platted as a private
street with access via a knock down emergency barrier, the cul-de-sac on the
south side of the east/west road parallel to Manchester Lane have a right-
of-way platted off of it to connect with West 66th Street on the !vest, and
that the park area provide the ability for future access and right-of-way
westerly to West 66th Street connection. Provision for lower density housing
was made for the west side of this western most cul-de-sac. (6-1 vote)
Penzel asked about the proximity of the lower density residential across
from multiple units. Bastyr said they have done this in other developments
in the past; extensive berming is used and driveway access points are kept
to a minimum.
Redpath asked what the reduction in total number of units had been. Bastyr
said they had been at 205 and they are now proposing 193. Redpath asked
if the single family housing could be built last. Thiel said he would have
no objection .
Edstrom asked if the design of the cul -de-sac road would be adequate if the
West 66th Street connection were to be made. Director of Public Works Dietz
said it would be.
Tangen asked to have the timetable for the project reviewed. Bastyr noted
Phase I would include a 500' cul-de-sac to a private road; the west portion
would be the next phase. Tangen asked if perhaps the east/west road with
the connection to the west might be done in its entirety during Phase I .
Bastyr said the entire project would be built over the next 4 5 years .
Discussion over the ramifications of the building of the street and the
effect of the assessment process on the project ensued..
Lewis Kinne, 6617 Manchester Drive, said he objected to the West 66th Street
connection; stated it would have a great impact on his neighborhood.
Susie Hummel , 6362 St. John' s Drive, asked Planning Director Enger to repeat
what he had said about St. John' s Drive. Enger said the Planning Commission
had recommended that St. John's Drive be connected with a private street to
the south with a knock down barrier.
Dick Sather, 6511 Manchester Lane , said he approved of the concept but was
against the West 66th Street connection.
City Council Minutes -7- August 17, 1982
x
R. W. McGovern, 6519 Leesborough Avenue, said he was opposed to the
West 66th Street connection.
Jerry Kingrey, 14211 Holly Road, said he thought West 66th Street should
be connected as the Council eight or ten years ago had determined. He noted
that Kingston Road in Edenvale was built because of a commitment to build
West 66th Street and Forest Hill. Road. He said there is much more traffic
on Kingston and Holly than was ever expected to be.
Jan Anderson, 6591 Manchester Lane, said she was opposed to opening West
66th Street. She felt this would bring a lot more traffic into the neigh-
borhood than anyone can anticipate, particularly on Kingston Drive .
Dick Feerick, 6518 Leesborough Avenue, felt if West 66th Street were to
be connected, the character of the neighborhood would change. He did not
feel it necessary to connect West 66th Street at this time. He did not
think all neighborhoods should be connected.
Dan Mavison, 6613 Canterbury Lane, said he was opposed to the West 66th
Street connection particularly since no one in the area is interested in
having it connect.
Kinne said there will have to be access to the park from the west once
the park is developed and he wondered how this would be accomplished. He
agreed with Feerick that the character of the neighborhood would change
if the connection were made.
_ Redpath said a commitment was made that there would be more than one way
out of Kings Forest. He noted the stress placed by Public Safety on the
issue of access in and out of neighborhoods. He said it is a dilemma .
Roger Sandvick, 14280 Stratford Road, said he is opposed to the opening
of West 66th Street. He said that emergency vehicles have been able to
get into his area very quickly. He stated he thought the crime rate would
increase and asked if there were any statistics which might bear.-this out.
Penzel said the response time achieved by Public Safety is excellent; in
most cases those times have been the result of officers who are off-duty
responding to a call because of their proximity to the area.
Wayne Gilbertson , 6580 Leesborough Avenue, said he feels the residents are
better off without the connection. He cannot see any advantages to the.
connection.
Tangen said he did not feel Eden Prairie was the same City it was five or
ten years ago. Rapid changes are being made in the transportation system
within the City. We are all being affected by the changes and many of us
are not willing to accept these changes. As a physician he felt the public
safety issue must be recognized; he is only too aware of the difference a
minute or two can make.
l
City Council Minutes -8- August 17, 1982
Woodrow Bjork, 14303 Stratford Road, said he is opposed to the West 66th
Street connection. He expressed concern for the school children who
will be walking to Forest Hills School . He said the knock down barrier
would be an alternative, if necessary, to the West 66th Street connection.
Tangen said the traffic presssures might be eliminated on other residential
streets if more connections are made -- both in this neighborhood and others
in the City.
Hanley Anderson , 6581 Manchester Lane, said the impact of building a road
must be examined. He is opposed to the West 66th Street connection. He
said he does not see how opening that will alleviate traffic in any other
area in the neighborhood.
Feerick noted the neighborhood is undergoing changes both to the north
and the east. He felt the neighborhood is accepting these changes rather
well . He said leaving West 66th Street alone would help matters a lot.
Edsl-rom asked the developer when Phase II of the project would begin.
Thiel said it would be two to three years before construction would begin .
Sandvick said ha thought this matter regarding West 66th Street had been
settled at the last Council meeting. Tangen said he had said one Iaccess to
the west was mandatory; provision for a second access was under discussion.
It was his thought that provision for a second access must be maintained.
Redpath noted there are over 400 cul -de-sacs in Eden Prairie. The Council
must look at connections between neighborhoods.
Ken Anderson , 6591 Manchester Lane, said the issue of public safety of
adults must be weighed with that of children who will be walking to schools
and parks. He is opposed to the West 66th Street access.
Gilbertson stated a year ago this was a quiet neighborhood -- one year later
there is the Undestad proposal to the north, Centurion to the east, and a
road through the middle of the neighborhood. He said it is a bit much to
accept at one time.
Kinne said he had lived in Japan for a number of years and had questioned
them about the use of cul-de-sacs. The Japanese told him they went back
two thousand years and were used for security reasons.
Redpath stated when it comes to the question of human life vs. property,
human life comes first.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing .
Motion carried unanimously.
k
City Council Minutes -g- August 17, 1982
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Edstrom, to adopt Resolution No.
( 82-187, amending the comprehensive Guide Plan as per the 8/12/82
Plan. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Redpath, to adopt Resolution No.
82-188, approving the Kings Forest Planned Unit Development. Motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to give 1st Reading to
Ordinance No. 82-20, rezoning 15 acres from Rural to R1-13.5 and 33
acres from Rural to RM 6.5. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to adopt Resolution No.
82-189, approving the preliminary plat of Kings Forest, with the provision
that the outlot on the southwest corner be dedicated to the City and pro-
vision be made for West 66th Street. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Bentley, to adopt Resolution No.
82-190, finding the environmental assessment worksheet for Kings Forest
a private action which does not require an environmental impact state-
ment. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Bentley, to instruct Staff to draft
a Developer' s Agreement including the recommendations of the various
commissions , those included in the Staff Report of June 25, 1982, the
delineation of the area to be dedicated to the City, a viable connection
( to the Eden Prairie Partnership parcels , a knock down barrier opt the
C northernmost cul -de-sac (that which would connect to St. John's Woods) ,
West 66th Street would be connected in Phase II , and Kings Forest Road
to be built as a municipal thoroughfare as the need is perceived.
Motion carried unanimously.
Bentley said he thought it important that connections be made between
neighborhoods. The decision to do this is one which must be made by,
the Council because neighborhoods generally do not want them connected.
The issue of public safety must not be overlooked. Redpath said there
are only two north-south thoroughfares and two east-west thoroughfares
in the City; it is time the whole City is taken into consideration rather
than the desires of single neighborhoods.
D. AMERICAN BAPTIST HOMES OF THE MIDWEST by American Baptist Homes of the Mid-
west. Request for rezoning from Rural to Office for 1 (approximately) acre
to construct a central office for American Baptist Homes of the Midwest.
Located at 7928 Eden Road. (Ordinance No. 82-22)
City Council Minutes -10- August 17, 1982
x
Dan Swedberg, Hammel , Green & Abrahamson, representing American Baptist
Homes, spoke to the proposal .
Planning Director Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed the
proposal at its July 26, 1982, meeting at which time it recommended approval
of the request subject to the recommendations included in the Staff Report
of July 22, 1982. Enger also noted the Parks , Recreation & Natural Resources
Commission had reviewed the proposal at its August 2, 1982 , meeting and had
recommended approval as per the Planning Staff Report.
Bentley asked how this proposal would fit in with the overall schematic
of the Major Center Area. Enger said an office use is appropriate in
this area; the question is whether or not this is considered an interim
use because it is a home which is being renovated. Bentley asked if
this would be doing away with an interim use and giving it a more bona
fide use. Enger's opinion was that it would be a remodeled home with
a permanent use since over $200,000 would be spent in remodeling. Bentley
questioned whether this type of conversion is in the best interest of the
community. Enger said his personal opinion was that it was not in the
best interest of the City to allow conversion of single-family homes into
offices.
Bob Kooiman, 7936 Eden Road, said he felt some concern about the timing
of this rezoning; he wondered if it would start a trend. He stated this
change will make it much harder for a large developer to assemble larger
pieces within the area. He felt guidelines should be established. He
said this was a prime piece of Eden Prairie property.
Tom Heidberg, Land'Sake, Inc. , owner of the property to the east of this
parcel , developers of the proposed Idelwild Office Center complex, said
he questioned the precedent being set by this rezoning. He asked if the
proponent's interim use permit was about to expire. He stated the charac-
ter of the neighborhood had not yet established itself. He would like
to see this proposal postponed until his development has a chance to be
financed.
Jack Higgins , Executive Vice-president, American Baptist Homes, said the
planned renovation of their building would bring it totally up-to-date.
Penzel asked why they had decided to renovate this building. Higgins
said it was pore economical to renovate this building than to build a new
one. Their interim use agreement does not expire until next May; they
felt it would not be fair to wait until then to make a decision as to
what to do. Higgins said this building will have the integrity of a new one.
Redpath noted the land on Eden Road will soon be worth more than the
homes which are there now.
Bentley expressed concern that islands will be created if interim uses
are allowed to be renovated/expanded rather than encouraging new develop-
ment in areas such as this..
i
City Council Minutes -11- August 17, 1982
Edstrom asked the size of this parcel . Enger said it is .7 acre. Red-
path asked what the assessments would be like on the homes in this area
because of the road construction. City Manager Jullie said the assessments
would be deferred until the properties are sold and/or further developed. {
Bentley said he felt strongly that the City needs a comprehensive develop-
ment plan for. the Major Center Area. He would like to see a general con-
cept as to what the owners of the properties have in mind as to how they 1
intend to develop the properties.
Tangen said there has been a commitment by the proponent for something
which is not new and which they want. It is in general conformity with
the uses in the area. He felt this proposal would be hard to deny.
Kooiman said he would like to move but he would like to replace his home
with one of comparable size in Eden Prairie; at the present he cannot find
a buyer for his home. He questioned the timing of this project -- he felt
he would be able to find a buyer for his home' in a year.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Tangen , to close the Public Hearing
and the give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 82-22, rezoning from Rural to
Office. Motion carried unanimously.
E. VACATION OF SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT on Lot 2, Block 2, LeParc Industrial

City Council Minutes -12- August 17, 1982
B. Request for time extension and amendments to the proposed Developer's
A�reement for Timber Creek north of Duck Lake Trail , south of Townline
Road and west of County Road 4)
Rick Murray representing B-T Land Company spoke to the request. He
noted the problems with the Developer' s Agreement relative to the
park land, particularly-in relation to financing in view of the dedi-
cation provisions/timing. City Attorney Pauly further explained the
situation in light of the City' s position. Murray said their concern
was that a future Council might not go along with what had already
been done and the property might be "down zoned." Pauly said the
problem can be resolved by zoning the whole parcel . Murray said the
current economy has precluded development as they had earlier planned.
Director of Planning Enger addressed the concerns of Director of
Community Services Lambert: in Phase I the City would receive the
active park in the southwestern part of the area and in Phase II the
floodplain area would be dedicated. Enger said from a Planning Depart-
ment perspective it was recommended to rezone a phase at a time and
to have the land conveyed a phase at a time.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to allow the time exten-
sion and to amend the Developer' s Agreement to allow for phasing --
dedication with each phase of zoning. Motion carried unanimously.
