not be a Public Hearing and added that by .approving the
Item on the Consent Calendar the Review policy would be
adopted .
Harris commeynt e-d that her understanding was that the City
had 2 years: to adopt the Review policy. Enger replied
that Staff was attempting to respond to the DNR ' s
potential adoption of reyulat i ons in a timely fashion;
however, the time frame was not long enough . Enger added
the- legislation was beyond the time for the City to offer
commenta which would have any effect on the legiuMature .
Enger stated the DNR had already adopted its policy.
Enger believed it was important for Eden Prairie to make
its position known to the DNR as soon as possible . Enger

Jullie reported that the process had been completed for
the Southwest Area Study and added that. the Planning
Commission had eridorceel the Study. Jullie stated that
Staff was recommending the adoption of Southwest Area
Study.
Lee Johr►son, owner of property in the area, stated that he
had written a Letter to the City Council addressing hi;:;
( concerns . Johnson believed that the road improvements,
utility improvements , and development could be done at tho
same time . Johnson stated that he would be responsible to
install the service road as part of his development, which
would require grading on the northern portion of his
property. Johnson added that the utility and grading work
volild he minimal, compared with the disturbance of the
Highway #5 construction . Johnson believed that occupancy
was the critical factor, not the construction or
development of housing units .
Peterson asked if the report precluded development . Enger
replied that the study indicated that no subdivision
construction was to begin before a safe access at Dell
Road to Highway 45 was provided; this was written prior to
the full evaluation of the alignment of Highway 45 and a
.ervice: road which would be installed by the developer .
En(3er noted that Staff concurred that US Homes and Tandem
would need to start grading while Highway 05 was under
construction . Enger stated that Staff would not agree to
ir1low all of the development proposed by the developers
for these areas prior to a safe access being provided :it
Dell Puad . Enger added that Staff was concer tied about
11mitin<g Lhe occupancy permits due to the implication that
the property had been platted arks !;old . Enger believed
that the, c:ontrul the City had over the development wa:; the

Peterson understood that the Southwe-3t Area Study was to
we USeu as a Uu iclel ine only . jonnsc)rd that he did
not: want to see the Southwest Area Sturdy as a .,et policy.
Jullie stated that Johnson ' s letter would become part of
the record .
Dick Feerick, representing H D & D ^artners,:ip, stated
that it planned to start some grading in 1989 and ,actual
construction of homes in 1990 . lie ;add#--d that it R D &
D Partnership' s desire to plat the property in 1989 .
Feerick stated that adequate safety controls woulcl be
provided . Enger :.Mated that Staff had indicated to
Feerick that in order to facilitate his requests a MUSA
Line change would be required . Enger said that with the
letting of bids for Highway #5 not occurring until late
1989, and the recommendation that development not occur
until the safe access at Dell Road was provided,
construction of Feerick ' s property would not be possible
In 1989 . Enger noted that both the MUSA Line change and
the starting of construction before and/or during the
construction of Highway #5 would be in direct conflict
with the recommendations outlined in the Southwest Area
Study.
Dietz :.:.tated that the bid opening for the upgrading of
Highway # 5 had been changed several times . Diet,
empathized with the developers wanting to Mart grading,
but added that once the grading had :.;tarted it would mean
the developer,; had irzvcsted monies and would then be
rushing to move the projects further along . Dietz said
that .some grading could be done at the same time as the
upgrading of Highway #5; however, a safe access to Dell
Road would be necessary for construction traffic . Dietz
wanted to be able to assure timing schedules that the
contractors could meet to provide .access to the sites for r
the developers .
Feerick stated that he wished to bring the issues to the
Council ' s attention . Feerick stated that the clock
started when a developer purchased the property. He added
that the developers wanted to be part of the City' s
procc,ss .
Pidcock asked Feerick If he was oppoL;od to the adoption of
the- Southwest Area Study. Feerick replied that the
developers wanted time frames established .
Peterson complimented the consultant team for the
excellent job in preparing the :.study.

_52-160^ (Resolution No . 39-34 )
P
Dietz reported that this resolution would order a
feasibility study for Dell Road and Scenic Heights Road .
Diet-- recommended the firm of Strgar-Roscoe-Fauschf Inc .
to PrQpare the feasibility :study for the City.
T`npas suggested that when companies were being
recommended, which the City had not dealt with in tl';e
past, information about the companies should be included
In the Council 's information package if possible .
Bob Smith, Ron Krueger & hszociates, representing several
of the developers in the southwest area, stated that the
developers were concerned about the following : 1 .
Expediency of the feasibility study. (Especially for the
northern section of the southwest area . ) 2 . Location of
Dell Road and Scenic Heights Road . 3 . Developers-
participation in the approval of the road alignments .
S d t developers co cu w e '5 Smith adds that heconcurred with the City .
choice of the consulting firm . Smith stated that the
developers were requesting the City have a preliminary
feasibility study completed in 60 days and a final draft
completed 30 days after the preliminary. Smith stated
that the developer: would like to tender the several
alignments which they had already prepared to the
consulting f irm . Smith requested weekly meeting with the
consultant and City Staff .
Dietz stated that Staff was aware of the developer 's
concern,; however, he believed the 60-day timeframe rot by
the developers would be ambitious and was not practical .
Dietz added that Staff would do everything to complete the
roasibillty study as soon as possible .
Paterson asked Dietz what timeframe he would propose .
Dietz replied 4 to 6 months . Diet:, said that several
alignments had been proposed and there were environmental
studies to be completed related to the proposed
alignments . Dietz stated that Staff was not prepared to
r
c'aianci l Mi_nirtes 11. February 21, 1989
commit to a 64-day draft and addc!d that he br.lievE:d weekly
( meet inas with the developers, the consultant -lnri Cuff
would be counter-productive . Dieu said that he would
work with the developers and would be in favor of
publi:,hing a proli.minary draft pr1or to the public hearing
for the developers .
Anderson asked If an Environmental Impact Statement would
be required . Enger replied that he did riot believe that
Eden Prairie was yet at a "Related Action" stage of
development . He added that the southwest Area would
develop in phases which would take Place over several
years . Enger noted that this need to expedite the
feasibility study for Dell Road: and Scenic Heights Road
was unnecessary due to the fact that development in these
areas would not take place for at least two years because
of the recommendations of the Southwest Area Study and
added that the results of the feasibility study would
accomplish two things : 1 ) determine :row the assessmentz
for the improvements would be applied, and 2 ) establish
the alignments of the roads .
Tenp.:As was concerned about the relationship between an
independent consulting firm and Ron Krueger & Associates .
Dietz stated that Ron Krueger & Associates had offered to
share the basic data and read alignments which they have
collected, which would be of benefit to all of the
developers in the southwest area . Dieu added that he did
not see the City handling this project any differently
than any other project, which would be that the developers
propose possible road alignments and the City typically
building the roads the way the developers have proposed
unless environmental issues would prohibit that alignment .
Dietz believed that the City had an obligation to
represent all of the developers in the southwest area and
added that currently 7 developers agreed on the proposed
alignments for the road and 2 developers were not
represented . Dietz stated that the premise of the
feasibility study was that the City not pay for right-of-
way and therefore , a consensus of all partles would be
necessary to have the project pzoceed in an expedient
manner . Tenpas stated that he would like to see the
consultants ' ideas be as independent as possible, to have
Lhe Council see the consultants ' ideas, and then work with
the developers to come to a consensus .
Ander. :,on was also concerned that the consultant conduct a
totally independent stu(ly, without influence from outside
";irouias . Anderson :,fated that he had received letters from
the developers not represented by Ron Krueger &
A_;oc- i.attes, which had raised environmental issues which
needed to be addressed . Anderson 1.)elieved that all the
developers In the .3outhwest area should have the same
opportunities and that all the developers in the southwest
'_.y 1-ouncil Miniit�--:_ 12 February 21, 1989
azea be notified and ._illoved to part it•ij)-at(_ In mf_Ntings
with the consultant . Dietz stated that he viewed the
consultant as an extension of City Staff and would notify
all the Involved p,a_tles .
Bob Sjoxklund, developer, stated that the iritent of the
developers was to be cooperative with SL-aff _-inn the
consultant and to provide open channels of communication,
not to create conflict .

►he / I inity_of CZ �.._..�. ( Resolution No . 89-39 )
Dietz reported that Staff had noted some number errors in
the agreement which MnDot would like the City to sign .
Dietz did not view these as a major problem and believed
that MnDot would change the numbers once Staff brought it
to MnDot ' s attention .
Dietz noted that Staff would like to sec paragraph 1 on
page 19 removed In its entirety, while MnDot was only
willing at this time to take out part of the sentence
which limits the: indemnification . Dietz stated that if
the City did not sign the agreement by Friday, February
24 , 1989, MnDot would postpone the bid letting for 30
days . Staff did not believe it was in the City's interest
to be the responsible for any delay on the Highway 05
project . Dietz noted the new language in the ordinance .
He suggested that City Attorney Pauly be directed to
negotiate the necessary changes and still try for a Friday
bid letting .
Peterson asked Dietz what the City '; exposure would be if
the 1ndemn; ty clause was not changed . Dietz replied that
the paragraph would set the State ' s responsibility to
ifpgrade Highway # 5 and set the City' ; responsibility In
the ;process . The State would do all of the construction
and the City would be responsible at the end of the
project for mainteriance work for utilities . Dietz noted
that the lest agreement signed with MnDot did not include
the following wording : " including an action or claim
13 February 21, 1989
which alleges neg11t3(.,nce of the SIC:i its agentz,
(if f ice rs or employees . "
i,iuix- cioLe-0 that page Q, rctiUn C, stated -hat the MnDot
would' be perm i t;ted to m.aF: t:. c:t;ariges ' n t-he jil •an and pass
the costs alor►c3 to the City . Pauly believed this section
was too open-ended . Dietz states: that Staff toad noted
this section; however, due to the good wor1king
relationship with MnDot, .^.taff did riot . e!e tA-iis :is a major
pr:sblem . Dietz stated that the City had worked on
projr-cts before with the same type of wordage .
Anderson stated that he was concerned about the wording in j
this situation due to the railroad bridgp cost:; not being
determined at this time . Dietz stated that the State h&d
outlined what the City would be respon:,- ible for and the
railroad bridge was riot included . Dietz added that
.accord trig to the final plats there would be an at grade
cr oss i n,g of the railroad cr osE;ing . Dietz stated that the
City' c shares war:; a fixed amount . He added that tlic
purpose of thi: paragraph was to deal with unexpected
cast;.; which would be Shared by the City and the State ;
such as soil corrections . Anclersori asked Dietz to clarify
if it had already been determined that an on grade
cro_-sing would be what was built . Dietz replied it was on
the final plan as such .
Pauly questioned the wording on pade 12, section C . 11e
stated that the amount due from the City was computed by
the State and was final, binding, and conclusive, which
meant the City could not question or dispute the amount
the (7ity would be responsible for . Pauly added that the
same applied to acceptance of the completed construction
on the project, the City would have no recourse action if
the work was accepted by the State, yet found to be
defective by the City. Dietz replied that City Attorney
was correct in the interpretation; hs:wever, due to the;
history of a good working relationship with MnDot, Staff
would not be uncomfortable . Dietz added that the City had
never had a problem in its dealings with MnDot and that
some of the work to be completed would be based on
specif ications written by Eden Prairie Staff . Dietz
suggested that if the Council was uncomfortable with the
wording and believed that too many open ended statemi_nts
had been made , a 30-day continuance could be requested .
Pauly note J on page: 15, section D, Lhe wording: "that
i7either party to thi:1 -4greemant shall drain :any additional
drainage into said storm sewer facil itic:s that is not
Lnc] ticled in the drainage for which raid i;;tnrm sewer
facilities, were design«--d without £ ir �,- t obtaining

to provide maintenance for the frontage road,_ , bikeways,
sidewalks, and driveway pivement . pauly questioned what
the City's position would be if It wished to vacate or
abandon these items . The State did riot pr. ov ' dc for any
time limits . Dietz asked Pauly if lie wcas coricerncd about if
vacating or abandoriln4 rights to private propert1, owners .
Pauly said that under this agreement the Cit.y wolll,d still
be responsible for maintenance of those facilities- . Dietz
--tated that he coult-l' not remember this being a problem,
and questioned what would be the benefit to the private
property owner .
Pauly stated that he did not see the indemnification
paragraph related to the City' s negligence on Page 360 as
a major problem due to the fact that the City had worked
with this similar language in other agreements and the
City was insured; however, to include taking
responsibility for the State 's negligence would be far-
reaching and unacceptable . Pauly said that this paragraph
would be acceptable with the following were removed :
" .4ricluding an action or claim which alleges negligence of
the State, Its agents, officers or employee::; . " Dletz
stated that the State was willing to take out the afore
mentioned phrase . Dietz added that he had requested the
whole paragraph be taken out .

document was worded exactly the way the City Attorney
would suggest . Tenpas did not believe that 30 days was
too long to wait to ensure a more secure document on
behave of the City. Tenpas, believed that It was prudent
to have City Attorney Pauly follow up on his
recommendations to protect the City' s Interest .
Peterson suggested that the Council give City Attorney
Pauly direction on which items the Council believed to be
vital .
Pldcock stated that the CAlty' s history of dealing with
MnDot has always been successful in the past and believed
that the details coulLI be worked out .

Peterson stated that they letter to the Council from the
Board of Appear & Adjustments was a request for
clarif icaticcn as to if the Council was giving a different i
direction by which the Board should make it 's
recommenCations. Pcterson believed that the Council had
been clear on its reasoning for overturning the Board ' s
recommendations. Peterson suggested a joint meeting with
the Council .and the Board of Appeals & Adjustments in the
near future . Peterson further suggested that Staff review
the minutes of the meeting and respond to the Board of
Appeals & Adjustments by outlining the reasons for the
Council ' s decision . Peterson added that he would like to
make it clear to the Board of Appeals & Adjustments that
the two "NO" votes did not signal a change in the
Council ' s policy. Peterson believed that the Board of
Appeals & Adjustments was consistent in its issuance of
variances; however, the Council had the right to review
the data differently and come to different conclusions,
without implying that the original decision was incorrect .

overturn a decision made by the City ' s commissions .
