addressed the request.
Planning Director Enger said this proposal had been reviewed by the Planning
Commission at its meetings on December 12, 1983, and January 9. 1984 . The
Planning Commission voted to recommend approval subject to the Staff Reports
dated December 9, 1983, and January 6, 1984. Enger noted the plan has under-
gone some changes from the time it was first reviewed to this time; he re-
viewed and compared the differences between the original proposal and this
concept proposal -- no industrial use had been contemplated in the original
proposal .
Director of Community Services Lambert noted the Parks , Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission had reviewed this at its January 16 , 1984, meeting at

Redpath asked if the maintenance fees on these condominium buildings would
be high and something which should be of concern to the Council . Enger said
the covenants which cover this aspect of the development have been reviewed
and maintenance fees should pose no problem. Director of Public Works Dietz
stated there are a number of single family situations in Eden Prairie which
are under similar covenants and they would be less likely to cover the costs
in the future than a business/industrial use would,

asked for clarification as to the existing zoning in City West. Enoer �
said 15 acres along Shady Oak Road have been zoned industrial and noted
that was the proposal on which much work had been done on the architec-
tural characteristics of the buildings.

Penzel inquired as to whether or not there was adequate space to provide
additional parking should these buildings be converted to another use some-
time in the future. Ender said there was not; should this happen, some
green space would have to be converted into parking.
Penzel asked about the screening to be used. Erickson said there will be
no front or back to the project but he was open to any suggestions which
might enhance the project. Because of how the buildings would be situated,
no screening, as usually thought of, was planned. Penzel said he was most
concerned with the visual impact from TH 169.
Chuck Tuchfarber, Prime Development , said 25% of the first phase, or 6
acres, is under contract and another 500% is in the negotiation stage.
Tangen asked about the grading restrictions and asked if there would be
restrictions with each phase . Erickson said they are trying to coordinate
grading for all phases so the whole site could be balanced. This would
save time and money. Tangen said that gave him some real problems due
to the high visibility of the hill and the fact that this might be done
and then nothing would be built for a long period of time. Erickson said
they are not talking about slicing down the hill . Penzel said a solution
might be to allow no grading on the site unless approved by the Planning
Commission and the City Council. Staff will review this further.
There were no comments from the audience.

and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 14-84. Motion carried with Tangen
