PUD Concept Amendment: Ordi-- na.nce #12-86 , PUD District and Rezoning; Resolution #86-49, Preliminary Plat ) Continued From March 25 , 1986 City Manager Jullie noted this request was continued from the March 25th meeting of the City Council . Mr. Mike Gair of Gair and Associates, representing the proponents , addressed the proposal . Planning Director Enger noted that this project was first reviewed by the Planning Commission at its January 27th meeting at which time it was continued to the February 24th meeting to allow time for revision to address concerns raised by the Commission and. Staff. He noted that the question of density transfer off the central lowlands area was of particular concern to the Planning Commission. Enger stated that, at its February 24th meeting, the Planning Commission on a 6-0 vote recommended approval of the Guide Plan change from low density residential to medium density residential and, •on'"a 4-2 vote , recommended approval of the rezoning requests and preliminary plat , subject to the recommendations of the Staff Reports of January 24 and February 21 , 1986 . Enger also noted that the Park, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission also reviewed the project and were particularly concerned with the preservation of the pond area. The Commission suggested that the road be moved to accommodate the pond area. Enger said that the proponent then further revised the plan -to completely save the pond area, as shown on the most recent drawing of the proposal . Redpath asked about the status of the Chain-of-Lakes y drainage study. Director of Public Works Dietz responded l I' y 41 City Council Minutes -4- April 15 . 1986 that the Watershed District has completed the study and a report is due soon that will specify the proposed solu- tion for interconnecting the lakes and will include a cost estimate for the project . Redpath asked about the status of the decision on com- pleting Dell Road . Dietz responded that , while Chanhassen has a funding mechanism, the potential impact of the Hwy 5 realignment may result in a proposal this summer for an interim measure dealing with the Dell Road/Hwy 5 matter. Bentley asked about the area to the west of the project being zoned I-General . Enger replied that some of the area to the west will be developed as some type of multi- residential . Bentley then asked about the need for addi- tional screening or berming to the west of the project for the benefit of the residents and if it would be appropriate to take action to initiate rezoning from I-General to rural for the area to the west . Bentley asked about the existence of an outlet for the pond and if it was adequate for overflow conditions . Bentley asked Mr. Gair about the purchase of the lowland area . A discussion of the density transfer question followed Bentley noted that he felt density transfer was a significant issue and that he would be much happier with F density transfer than with a Guide Plan change . Peterson noted that proponent is no longer requiring the density transfer concept . Anderson asked who had seen the revised plan so far since it had just been redone . He emphasized the need to have the plans available to the public for their. reaction. Anderson asked about the existence of a tree inventory. s Enger said there was one . Pidcock asked about the plans for the trees . Mr . Gair pointed out the location of trees to be saved on the plans and said that 590 of the trees would be preserved . A discussion of tree preservation followed . Mr. Don Uden, 7530 Atherton Way, presented a petition from area residents. (Attachment A ) Peterson asked if the petition had been circulated prior to the current plan revision. Mr. Uden said it had been circulated before the latest revision. Mr. Uden showed slides of the area . A photograph of the pond area was circulated among the c ounc i lmembers . (Attachment B) 1. City Council Minutes -5- April 15 . 1986 Mr . Chris Geason , 7470 Atherton Way, expressed his con- cern about the hazards of increased traffic . He also } noted that it would be necessary for residents of the project to drive through a low density residential area 9' to get to a medium density area . Mr. Dick Thon, 7550 Atherton Way, expressed his concern with the impact the project would have on the area , particularly the grading in the pond area . He noted the potential of cracking the seal and causing the pond to drain. Mr. Rod Olsen, 7610 Heritage Road . distributed a list of residents ' concerns regarding the project . a map and a marked copy of Chapter 11 of the City Code . (Attachment C ) He stated the need for assurances to the property owners adjoining the pond area as to what effect the changes to the pond will have on their property. He also expressed concern about the lack of planned amenities for the neigh- borhood causing increased use of the Round Lake facilities . Mr. Mike Derickson, 7491 Atherton Way, noted his concern about changes in the pond and about traffic in the area, particularly on Evener Way. He also noted his concern about preserving the unique wildlife in the area . Mr. Jim Brost , 17431 Evener Way, stated that his greatest concern is with the density issue , that property owners had purchased in the area with the assumption that the area to the west would remain low density. He also ques- tioned the impact of multi-family units on Eden Prairie' s sewer allotments . Planning Director Enger said that the agreement with the Metropolitan Council calls for the City not to exct:tml a c;zrtain amount of sewer flow by the year 2000, based on population estimates . Enger said it could be a problem if the population growth exceeds the estimates for the year 2000 . Ms Mary Bissen, 17613 Lorene Way, commented on her dis- satisfaction with the proposed multi-family project . Mr. Hal Yeager, 17609 Lorence Way, stated his concern with one very large oak tree on his property that is threatened by the proposed sewer routing. Mr. Eugene Peterson, 7443 Hames Way, commented on the potential problems with drainage into Round Lake from the surrounding developments . He suggested that a storm sewer City Council Minutes -6 April 15 , 1986 fee be charged to developers to avoid the cost of the Chain-of-Lakes proposal being passed on to the taxpayers . Mr . Rod Olsen stated his concern with the multi-unit development trend creating a wide range of property values in the area . Pidcock asked about the adequacy of roads in the area and if there were alternate ways to get into the project . Director of Public Works Dietz commented that Evener Way will probably be the primary traffic conduit in view of its location and construction as a collector-type facility. Pidcock asked about the impact of the pond area on existing property. Dietz noted that he would not recommend moving the pond closer to the existing homes on the east . Discus- sign of disturbing the seal of the pond and extending the pond area followed . Dietz said it would be possible to determine the effects of enlarging the pond as well as whether the seal would be broken by excavation . Peterson said that any approval of the project should be contingent on the determination of 3 the effects of enlarging the pond area. Anderson noted his primary concern was that consideration be given to area residents ` reactions to the extension of the pond . He recommended that the project be returned to Staff for more consideration of the density and pond development issues . Bentley noted that density transfer has never been used as a subsidy for developers, but rather as a common devel'opagnt *' tool for the City of Eden Prairie . He also stated his s concern about the stability of the pond and the pond outlet , particularly in regard to the potential for flooding. He then stated that he believed it is a very good project and that it makes a good transition. MOTION: Pidcock moved , seconded by Anderson, to continue this item to the May 6th meeting of the City Council to allow time for staff to review the questions regarding the pond area and the question of densit-, transfer. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Olsen asked that the area residents be ke pt informed of developments in the project until the May 6th meeting. Anderson noted that he believes it is important to have staff investigate the best use of the major floodplain area before any more decisions are made on it .

' t Mr . Vince Dirlam of Dirlam Development , the developers of j the project , addressed the proposal.

On 7-0 votes the Commission recommended approval of the PUD amendment and the rezoning; from rural to R1 -13 .5 k Zoning District Change as well as the Preliminary Plat . subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report dated March 21st . Recommendations in the Staff Report included revising the Preliminary Plat so that the entire project could be rezoned to R1 -13 .5 and including trails along the north and west . Pidcock asked about the planned location of the trails and what the street na-me would be . Anderson asked about how the trails would fit into the existing trailway system- I Enger pointed out the trail system on the plans . Mr. Rod Olsen, 7610 Heritage Road , asked about plans for both a sidewalk and a pathway system. Mr. Dirlam said it would be path only. Mr . Olsen then expressed his concern about the effect of construction traffic on the existing streets . Enger mentioned that there is an existing drive- way off Hwy 5 that might serve for construction traffic . Director of Public Works Dietz noted that a bond probably would be required for possible damage from construction traffic because the neighborhood streets are posted for four ton only. Mr. Bob Wagner. 7450 Hames Way, suggested that the two developers , Donnay and Dirlam, could share the expense of building an access road for the construction traffic .

Request for Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential to Office, and Zoning District Change from Rural to Office for an interior design studio . Location: Southwest quadrant of County Roads #1 and #18 . (Resolution #86-50, Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment ; Ordinance ##14-85 , Rezoning) Continued from March 25 , 1986 City Manager Jullie noted that this item had been con- tinued from the March 25 , 1986, meeting of the City Council . Ms Kate Halverson and Mr. Fred Hoisington addressed the proposal . Planning Director Enger noted that the Planning Commission, after considering the item at both their February 10 and February 24, 1986 , meetings, recommended the denial of the request for a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential to Office . He also noted that the Planning Commission was not convinced that the best future use of the property would be as an office. Enger called attention to the Staff Reports of February 7 and February 21 , 1986, that reviewed the proposal . He also reviewed the use planned for the surrounding proper- ties in Bloomington and Eden Prairie and the current plans for upgrading County Road ,#18 . Enger further noted that the Planning Commission was sympathetic to the existing use of the property but realized that issuing an Interim Use Permit for use as an office would require an amendment to the City Code . Bentley asked about the expected road alignments in the area and possible commercial areas created in the front- y age areas . A discussion of road alig.=ent and the develop- went of neighborhood commercial areas Followed . Pidcock questioned the possible pressures created on the only office in a commercial area. Enger noted that the pressures at the intersection would be primarily commer- cial with service-type offices . Peterson said that he felt there had to be compelling reason in order to change the Comprehensive Guide Plan. I City Council Minutes -10- April 15 , 1986 He noted that the best use of the land may not be deter- mined until the road alignment issue is resolved , thus he felt that the concept of an interim use of the property might be the best solution. Bentley reiterated that an interim use permit would require a Code change and commented that such a permit might open a "Pandora's box . He asked why the Guide Plan change had become such an issue in view of the very small proportion of the total project requested as office space . He mentioned past examples of multi-family areas becoming mixed use areas. Redpath expressed his concern for the Munsons if Che interim use permit is approved . Peterson asked w::at the potential acreage in the area for office development would be . Enger said that the f immediate area would be about 2 .5 acres or about 30 ,000 square feet , but he felt the potential for the surroun- ding area was quite a bit more . t Redpath asked about the possibility of a letter of intent ( from the Halversons to show that they do not plan to enlarge the existing office area . Ms Halverson said that they would agree to that . Enger noted that , after conferring with City Attorney Pauly, there could be no vote by the Council on the zoning issue because the Planning Commission had acted only to deny the request to change the Comprehensive Guide Plan and had not acted on the zoning request . Bentley asked about the possibility of referring the issue back to the Planning Commission for another review of the Comprehensive Guide Plan change and the rezoning issue and continuing the item to the next City Council meeting. MOTION: Bentley moved , seconded by Anderson, that the issue be continued until the April 29th meeting of the City Council to allow further review by the Planning Commission and staff. Motion carried with Peterson voting "note E . OLYMPIC HILLS 7TH ADDITION by Olympic Hills Land Corpora- t on.

Mr . Paul Fjare reviewed the proposed development . Anderson asked why there was no gate in the proposed fence to allow for retrieval of balls . Fjare replied that it was to restrict parking along North Hillcrest Court . Anderson suggested that "No Parking" signs could be used to restrict parking. John Pollock , II1, 16420 No Hillcrest Ct . , stated that he was representing 27 neighbors in the area. He noted his main concern was with the city usage of the fields , not the School District usage , in that he believed the city usage would be more intensive than the school 's would be . He also noted concern for the potential prob- lems with lighted fields and "No Parking- signs restricting the residents ' parking. He said that they would like some kind of plan for use including a definition of hours and the age groups expected to use the fields . Anderson noted the long-standing policy to work jointly with the School District to get maximum use of the ath- letic fields and recreation facilities . r i 64 City Council Minutes -14- April 15 , 1986 Redpath asked if Mr .

John Pollock, 16460 No. Hillcrest Ct. , noted his concern about the proposed development causing noise and traffic problems like those at Round Lake . He also was concerned about the more intense use as a city facil- ity and the potential use of alcoholic beverages on the fields .

A discussion of the age 4 groups that would be using the facilities and control of the use of alcoholic beverages on the facilities followed . Anderson said that he believed the Council should not put restrictions on the School ' s property.
