A . Reports of Council Members
1 . Pidcock - Questions on SWING Memorandum
Referring to the memorandum regarding the SWING
Committee for the cable system, Pidcock noted that
Paul P.edpath is the committee chairperson. She said
she thought this was an important and significant
committee and asked if Mr. Redpath would be replaced
as chair by a current councilmember.
Bentley suggested that Mr. Dawson check with Southwest
Cable Commission to get more details on what this
committee does .
Peterson asked if the Council is authorized to
make appointments to the committee . Bentley said he
thought it was a study committee put together by the
Commission itself .
Anderson suggested that Mr. Dawson develop a report
on this subject to be included in the Council packet
for discussion at the next meeting. Pidcock agreed
with his suggestion.
2 . Pidcock - Report on Leese of Minnesota Cities Seminar
in Rochester
Pidcock reported that Dr. Harris and she attended
the seminar in Rochester June 9 - 12 . She reviewed
the various workshops and seminars presented there and
noted that the seminar was well planned, very worth-
while and presented some excellent ideas for honing
skills . She said we might want to consider a suggestion
presented at the seminar that chief financial officers
of our major corporations review the City budget and
provide input on possible savings or better ways of
doing things .
Pidcock said she had an opportunity to discuss the
urgent need for highways in Eden Prairie with represen-
tatives of Senators Durenberger and Boschwitz.
City Council Minutes -5- July 21 , 1987
Y
Pidcock said some of the exhibitors had questions on
how to get the opportunity to bid on projects in
Eden Prairie . Noting that the exhibitors believed
they are left out of the bidding process here , she
said she thought we were to get input back on the
process being used for bidding. She thought we should
review the process and take a new approach if necessary .
Harris said she would like to know where we are as to
expenditures in relation to budget revenues . She
thought a quarterly report summarizing the City' s costs
against revenues would be helpful.
Bentley said in the past the Council has received a
mid-year update on the budget and asked if that is
being prepared now. Dawson said Staff is preparing
the budget and in the process will take a look at
expenses to date . He said there would be a report in
August or September showing adjusted amounts for the
rest of the year.
Bentley said he, too , would like to see those figures
presented on a more regular basis . Peterson said he
thought it should be relatively simple to get a run-
down of broad categories of expenditures from the
database in the computers .
Anderson asked how difficult it would be to get quarterly
reports on the budget . Director of Public Works Dietz
said the departments get monthly summaries of their
operating expenses . Director of Community Services
Lambert said those reports are not a summarized budget
sheet, but rather are listed by operating fund .
Dawson said they would take a look at this at a Staff
meeting.
Peterson asked if they learned anything new about
televising Council meetings. Pidcock replied that it
is generally very positive but there can be some nega-
tives involved . Harris said there is obviously a
viewing public but no one seems to have a fix on the
quantity of viewers .
A discussion followed regarding televising Council
meetings .
i
Bentley asked if we budgeted funds to install a camera
system. Dawson said no funds were budgeted this years
however, he anticipates money will be allocated in
next year ' s budget .

E. Report of Director of Community Services
1 . Review of Feasibility Studer for Purgatory Creek a
Recreation Area
Referring to his memorandum of June 30, 1987 regarding
the Feasibility Report on the Purgatory Creek Recrea-
tion Area, Director of Community Services Lambert re-
viewed the background leading to the preparation of the
feasibility report . He said the feasibility report was
M, reviewed with the surrounding property owners on
June 30th, the Parks Commission on July 6th and the
Planning Commission on July 13th .
Lambert said they have been able to meet with a majority
of the landowners . He reviewed the contents of a
letter from Larry Rice of Lakeland Developers who are
developing property to the west of the proposed recrea-
tion area . He said they support the concept generally,
but they expressed concern about the concentration of
traffic and people using the athletic fields proposed
for the area next to their property. Lambert said he
had reassured Mr. Rice that this is a concept plan
only and that actual design plans would be reviewed
with the surrounding property owners .
s
Lambert said the Parks Commission recommended approval
of the plan with the following conditions : that an
environmental assessment be made of the effect on
water quality in Staring Lake and downstream from the
area; and that consideration be given to acquiring
an additional one or two acres of land for more parking
area . He said the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the plan, also including the suggestion
that more land be acquired for parking.
Paul Fjare of Brauer & Associates reviewed the process
used for the current development concept and the reasons

City Council Minutes -7- July 21 , 1987
for dropping the earlier plan to include a golf course .
He said they introduced a series of active and passive r
water areas and tried to enhance water quality through
a series of channels . He also reviewed the three
primary focal points -- the recreation complex, an
interpretive trail head to provide an environmental
education focus for the passive recreation area, and
the major center plaza .
Rod Cole , Hickock & Associates, reviewed the results
of the geological/hydrological analysis of the area.
He said they recommend that the judicial ditch be
dredged all the way down to Research Road and then
allow a year for the area to be monitored in order to
find out what happens during rainfall, snow melt , etc .
He said the material excavated could be placed in the
area of trails or roads; however, there may be opposi-
tion from the regulatory authorities to this procedure
should the excavated material create excess amounts of
nutrient waste .
Peterson asked if there is a correlation between the
water level anticipated after the repair of the ditch
and the removal of siltation further down stream, as
he assumed that would lower the level of water and the
volume storage capacity required by the Watershed
District . Cole said that would probably not occur, as
excess created by the dredging of ponds will be taken
up in compensatory storage by the grading.
Anderson said he thought that if we start with the
premise that we will work with the Watershed District
to meet their regulations , we shouldn't have a problem.
Lambert said he thought Mr. Cole was addressing comments
from the property owners that dropping the water level
would provide more developable land and that such a
situation would be a concern for the Watershed District .
Anderson asked if the channel might have to be dredged
all the way to Staring Lake . Cole said it was a pos-
sibility, but they are suggesting that dredging be
done only to Research Road . Cole said the high point
is about 150 feet downstream from Anderson Lakes Park-
way and is about three feet higher than the outlet
elevation of the culvert .
Harris asked about the dredging equipment to be used
and why the nutrient material could not be used as fill .
Cole said the regulatory agencies have a policy that
fill from an area such as this should not be put back
in the area because of the nutrient release that would
probably flush downstream .
g
City Council Minutes -8- July 21 , 1987 k
Pidcock asked what effect the dredging will have on
Staring Lake . Lambert said this plan does not pro-
pose any transfer of storage to Staring Lake because
that would have an adverse effect on that facility.
Lambert noted that very little of the interior of this
development will require intensive maintenance, with
the majority being left in a natural condition.
Bentley said he has a mixed reaction to the proposal .
He was disappointed because no way was found to get
the golf course included , since that was probably the '
most popular amenity proposed . He said he was pleased
with the entrance and the amphitheater concept . In
addition, he said his first reaction to the proposed
sports complex is total opposition, and he would pre- b.
fer that area be used for something like the prior
suggestion of an interpretive farm.
Bentley asked what has caused the discharge at Ander-
son Lakes Parkway to be three feet higher than other
points . Lambert said construction around that area
during very wet weather caused erosion down the sides
which filled up the creek with sand from the slopes
and created a dam. A discussion followed regarding
drainage in the area, the impact of the culvert at
Research Road and residents' concerns about this area.
Pidcock expressed concern about the debris from builders
and asked if we have a policy on that . Lambert said
one of the major erosion problems was the City' s con-
struction of Anderson Lakes Parkway. He also noted
there is danger that Staring Lake will freeze out if
the creek flow continues to be restricted . He said
they would like the Council to approve a resolution
tonight requesting permission from the Watershed Dis-
trict to try to remove some of the material restricting
the creek flow at Anderson Lakes Parkway.
Pidcock again asked if we have a policy regarding
cleanup by developers . Bentley said he did not believe
that was pertinent to the issue . Peterson said he
thought it was, to the extent that developers or
contractors might share in the responsibility for t
remedial action in that particular location. Dietz
noted that would probably require litigation.
Anderson said one of the things we 're concerned about
is getting the creek to flow correctly through there .
He believes a control structure could be made so that
the flow into Staring Lake could be regulated over the
year. Cole said they are proposing such structures on
both the north and the south end of the recreation area.
City Council Minutes -9- July 21 , 1987
A discussion followed regarding the extent of the
dredging proposed at Anderson Lakes Parkway.
Harris noted that there is a natural beauty in this
area that she would like to see as undisturbed as
possible . While she realized there is a need for
athletic fields, she would prefer some other use for
that area.
Bentley said he recalled a significant discussion
when approval was given for the recreation area con-
cept regarding no highly active types of use in the
entire area. He said the use as ball fields does not
follow the intent of the original concept plan. a
Lambert said that comments were made regarding whether
a golf course would be used by those residents living
in the high-density developments in the area. He
said M.T .S . commented that their owners feel they
would rather see some ballfields and picnic areas that
their employees could use . He also said there are
other potential sites for an interpretive farm that
would not require building on the floodplain.
:. � Peterson said he thought it would be possible to have
a fairly passive open space area that might be condu-
cive to such activities as a pick-up ball game
without jeopardizing the integrity of the major park.
Lambert said perhaps an irregular open play area would
be better.
Dick Feerick distributed an outline of his comments
regarding the major center area. (Attachment A) He
said he was very impressed with the park concept . He
thought it was important to evaluate some of the points
raised regarding the water level and the appropriate-
ness of use before the plans are fully developed .
Anderson said this has been one of his pet projects in
the City. He noted the landowners adjacent to the
area were the ones who pushed for a golf course . He
commented that we have an opportunity to do something
equivalent to such areas as Normandale hake in Blooming-
tor, and that such areas have done much to attract
businesses for those communities .
i
Pidcock said it was exciting to see the concept come '
this far, but she was not enthralled with the proposed
ball park. .
City Council Minutes -10- July 21 , 1987
Bentley suggested that discussion center on the list
of ten recommendations contained in Mr. Lambert 's
memo .
Regarding Item i on the list, Peterson asked if it
was reasonable to get ownership of all the floodplain
property. Lambert said he felt not all the owners
would transfer ownership at this point . He suggested
that this is the proper time to ask all the property
owners to transfer the land . At the same time the
City should commit to applying for a clean lakes grant
to start the project and begin the first phase of
dredging for this once the property is transferred .
He said we should retain sufficient funds in the cash
park fees to begin the first phase development .
Anderson asked if we are talking about using park
dedication fees to purchase property. Lambert replied
the only property designated for purchase is the acreage
at the major entry point . He said both property
owners involved in that acreage are supportive of the
plan but are currently in the process of developing
their land and therefore are not willing to sell right
now.
Anderson said he didn't want to lose any part of this
project and he was concerned with what might happen if
this is delayed and a proposal for development in that
area comes forth. Lambert said the property owners
will be kept informed of our plans so they can take
that into consideration in their development plans .
Mr. Feerick noted that Mr. Naegele and Mr. Feerick
are working together on a concept that reflects the
park plaza interest in that location.
Regarding Item 2 , Bentley asked if at this point we are
asking for a commitment for two additional acres.
Lambert said he would like to determine if the Council-
members are supportive of discussing that with the
property owners involved . The consensus was that
the acquisition of additional land should be explored
further.
Regarding Item 9, Bentley suggested that the phrase
"recreation/sports area" be changed to "area" only.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to accept
the recommendations of Staff, subject to the mod'ifica-
f tions discussed .
I
City Council Minutes -11- July 21 , 1987
;r
Lambert said he would like to have a plan of the area
that could be distributed and asked if it would be all
right to remove the ballfields from the plan and sub-
stitute a passive play space. Peterson cautioned that ,
if a plan is passed around , it becomes "the plan. "
Lambert said that there has to be something on the J
plan and he wanted it to be something the Council was
comfortable with.
A discussion followed regarding what should be desig-
nated for the area on the west . The consensus was
that it should be designated as a "future recreation
area. "
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to accept
the recommendation to carry $1-1 .5 million in the
cash park fees as a reserve for beginning this project
whenever the City acquires all of the park property.
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Harris, to author-
ize Staff to draft a Resolution requesting permission of
the appropriate regulatory agencies to dredge the
ditch . Motion carried unanimously .

6 . Review deferment policies for Special Assessments
Referring to his memorandum of July 20, 1987 regarding
deferment of special assessments, Director of Public
Works Dietz said the memo responds to a specific question
on how to deal with existing residents who are forced
into special assessments because of a development . He
reviewed the current deferment policies that exist and
noted that there is no provision in the State statutes
for deferring assessments until connection or develop-
ment for a specific time period .
Dietz said discussions with Mr. Pauly's office deter-
mined that the best way to deal with the problems of
existing residents is to exclude them from the actual
assessment in the beginning rather than to give them
deferments . The assessment would then become effective
when the property was connected to sewer and water.
Dietz said the problem with this is that interest is
specifically excluded from the list of items that can
be collected , so the City might be forced to absorb
interest costs for a considerable period of time .
Dietz said Staff is suggesting that when we put in a
project we would assess at completion of the project
the amounts for streets, curb and gutter, storm sewer
and sidewalks . Those items would constitute 55-60%
of the typical assessment .
Harris asked if, when there is an exclusion, the fee
is the actual cost at the time of connection or the
original cost . Dietz replied only the original cost
can be assessed .
Anderson asked City Attorney Pauly if it would be
possible for a landowner with a hardship to contract
f
g
City Council Minutes -1 4- July 21 , 1987
with the City to pay this off at the time of sale of
the property or at the time of connection. Pauly
replied that there is no provision for that kind of
arrangement and it would be unenforceable .
City Attorney Pauly gave a summary of the statutes
involved in this issue .
A discussion followed regarding the situation of a
landowner who is close to the age of qualifying for
the deferment for senior citizens.
Dietz said that historically we have given a $1 ,000
credit to pay for such assessments and suggested that
we could abandon that credit and give a five-year
exclusion for the assessment . Peterson asked what
would happen if the property were sold in that period
of exclusion. Pauly said sale should not make any
difference because the basic reason for exclusion would
remain.
Peterson asked how those properties that were excluded
would be flagged so that a potential buyer could be
made aware of the assessment . Dietz said the only way
to keep track of this would be to put as a comment.,
on the assessment information rolls that an assessment
is going to be levied in year X .
A discussion followed regarding the details of execut-
ing such exclusion procedures.
Dietz suggested that this issue be brought up again at
the next meeting so that Mr. Jullie can have input into
it and more research can be done .
