(Resolution j No. 83-251 - Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment, Ordinance No. 51-93 - PUD ,( District and Zoning, and Resolution No. 83-252 - preliminary plat) t City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been published and property owners within the project vicinity had been notified. `lark Peterka and Charlie Coombs , developers, addressed the proposal . Director of Planning Enger said this item had been reviewed by the Planning Commission at its meetings on August 8, August 29, and September 26, 1983. At its meeting on September 26th, the Commission voted to recommend approval subject to the recommendations included in the Staff Report of September 23, 1983. He noted that trees dictated where the units would be placed; other changes were made in the plan between the time it was first presented ` and the time it was approved to reflect areas of concern which had been expressed by Staff and the Planning Commission. Director of Community Services Lambert noted the Parks , Recreation & Natural Resources Commission had reviewed this request at its meeting on October 17, 1983, at which time it voted to recommend approval subject to the recommendations included in the Planning. Staff Report and the Supple- mentary Staff Report of the Community Services Staff dated October 11 , 1983, Anderson asked what the proposed timetable for the project is. Peterka indicated they would like to start this Fall and be able to have a model as soon as possible. Anderson asked when the neighborhood park is slated for construction. Lambert said, depending on cash park fees, construction could begin in late 1984 or 1985. Penzel asked about the extension of utilities in this area. Enger said this will be the last development south of CSAH 1 which can be serviced by the present system. Gerald Haas , 9955 Pioneer Trail , said he would like to see some other drain- age developed to serve the park and this development. He related the prob- lems which occur with the drainage system which is presently in place. He expressed concern about the problems which could occur when the park site is graded. Lambert explained he has looked at the site and has a preliminary grading plan for the park. Penzel said he thought it appropriate for the City to look at the situation prior to completion of the utility improvements for this project so the issue can be addressed. City Council Minutes -4- October 18, 1983 Jerry Hegge, IOD15 Pioneer Trail , expressed concern about the run-off. Penzel said the City should look at the alternatives and see what should be done so no undue harm is done to any of the properties. Enger noted there is a series of natural ponds which drain out of this area. He indi- cated preliminary work has been done by the developer' engineer which shows the high water levels of the ponds and what the level is at which they can be controlled. He noted what issues the City might examine. a MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Tangen, to close the Public Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 83-251, amending the Comprehensive Municipal Plan.

(Ordinance No. 52-83 - zoning and Resolution No. 83-247 - preliminary plat) City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been published and property owners in the project vicinity had been notified. Dennis Dirlam, proponent, spoke to the proposal .

Enger said it goes into Hidden Ponds Park and then on to Dell Road. Penzel said a temporary "dead end" sign should be placed on the property so prospective buyers will realize a road connection will be made. Tangen asked if the land-locked lots could be made buildable. Jullie said easement could be required to preclude this . The easements would be for storm drainage. Penzel said in most subdivisions the City requires easements for access to ponds- which are used for storm drainage; he asked if this was required in this proposal . Enger said there are two 20' utility easements which will be required to provide this type of access. Penzel said he felt the question of connecting roads, should be addressed. It was noted that the southern road will connect from Dell Road to Valley View Road through this proposal and the Apple Groves development. Penzel asked if dedication is being made of the abandoned railroad right-of-way/ trail area. Lambert noted on a map which area the City owns and where the trail will be developed.

David Shea , architect, addressed the proposal .

Redpath asked if this type of facility was a way of getting around the branch banking laws . Bentley said he felt there are a number of full service banking facilities in Eden Prairie and perhaps a facility of this type is needed or at least should be available. Daryl Standafer, vice president of First National Bank of Edina, said this facility is 'being built to service Eden. Prairie resi- dents who are already customers; they figure to have an 18% market share in Eden Prairie. Full banking services will be available at this facility but not necessarily on a full-time basis.

Historical & Cultural Commission - Request for authorization for approval of Phase II Renovations to the Cummins-Grill Homestead, Director of Community Services Lambert addressed the October 13, 1983, memorandum regarding this issue. Redpath asked how far the City was going to have to go in financing the restoration of the Cummins-Grill House. He asked if the Restoration Committee was going to be involved in any of this. Lambert said the building is still an eyesore; if the City were to clean up the area and make the house look better, more people might want to become in- volved. He said once the work under discussion is completed, the house will begin to -look more like the home which is illustrated in the Kouba print. Bentley noted much of the request is covered by grant money. Lambert said some of the work is covered by volunteer and in-kind labor.

Request for Registered Land Survey for 0.4 acre for alternate access for Lee Data site. Location: West 70th Street at Highway 169. (Resolution No. 83-253 - approving R.L.S. ) s j Director of Planning Enger stated the nature of the request. There were questions by the Council which were directed to the developer. The developer was not represented at the meeting. MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue the request until such time as Staff has met with Opus and Opus, is prepared to come ? before the City Council to make its intentions known. Motion carried unanimously. B. Request for Amendment to Flying Cloud Sanitary Landfill Operating Permit City Manager Jullie said Doug Coy from BFI was present to explain BFI 's proposal and noted that no specific action is requested of the Council as the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is the approving agency. He referred to the correspondence from BFI and a drawing which showed the proposed contour revision which would result if the PCA grants approval to their amendment request. Doug Coy, BFI , reviewed what is proposed u-ing a map. He said what they are asking is permission to go into Phase 3 for operational consid- erations , mainly to reduce the elevation thereby reducing the road eleva- tion to get in to a particular area of the site; they would also like to have the slope reduced which would help with erosion control . These, he em- phasized, are only operational aspects. Bentley asked if this is in the currently approved area . Coy said it is and the volume remains the same -- it only allows them area to spread out. Penzel said this is a convenience item, Bentley asked if, simultaneously to this , there would be dedication of park land. Coy said the park dedication was part of a program which was brought about by Hustad Development. Hustad chose not to exercise its option on the park property; however, BFI has continued to honor that option and will dedicate land to the City for a park at this time. Tangen asked for Director of Community Services Lambert's opinion in regard to the park dedication. Lambert said the City had anticipated developing that park three years ago; this park has very high priority and would move some other parks back on the list of those to be developed . MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to notify the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency that the City Council has no objections to the proposed change in phasing as outlined in John G. Curry's letter to Daniel A. Comeau, dated October 14, 1983. Motion carried unanimously. Concern was expressed by members of the Council as to litter being dropped inadvertently by garbage trucks. Coy said BFI has instituted a "hot line" and maybe some means of reporting such incidents can be worked out via that. City Council Minutes -8- October 18, 1983 VIII . APPOINTMENTS ,r A.

Reports of Council Members Discussion of Liquor License Fees - Penzel said he had received an inquiry as to whether or not the City would allow the holder of a liquor license to pay the license fee over the course of the year rather than on or before January 1. City Attorney Pauly said this is a provision of the City Code and would require a change in the Code; there is nothing in the Statutes which would allow for partial payment of a fee. The concensus was this might mean that a license holder could go out of business prior to the time that fees to date were paid. Redpath - indicated he has tickets available for the Eden Prairie Foundation Bail raffle. Penzel reminded the Council of the October 26, 1983, meeting which will be held at the Eden Prairie High School to discuss the two proposed landfill sites. He said suggestions are welcome as to whom might be spokesmen for the City and what aspects should be covered in the City' s presentation. Bentley said he would like to speak as he was on the original site selection committee. B. Report, of q_Lty Mana9er There was no report. C.
