Review on 88 acres. Location: Rolling Hills Road and Prairie Center Drive.
Franzen stated that at the last Planning Commission meeting the
Commissioners went over each of the seven sites and gave direction on sites
#3, #4, #5 and #6 for plan revisions.
Bill McHale, representing Ryan Companies, stated there are three changes
resulting from the feedback from the neighbors, Staff and the Commission
from the last meeting. He said on site #3, the property between Gelco and
NCS, they respect the Commission's direction that it should remain office, and
asked that the Planning Commission send that recommendation to the City
Council.
He stated on site #4, a berm was extended along the east side of the property.
They have increased the scenic easement from 50 feet to 60 feet. With a front
yard setback waiver on several lots, they have increased the setback from 80
feet to 100 feet.
He stated that on sites #5 and A, at the request of the neighbors, they have
placed single story townhouses along the common property line. They have
also extended the berm along the eastern end of the pond adjacent to Carriage
Court.
Franzen stated that Staff was supportive of the plan changes for areas A, #5,
and A. Staff's recommendation would be to recommend that the Commission
continue discussion on this item until the September 12th meeting so they can
follow up with the remaining details on the project such as architecture,
grading, drainage, landscaping, sidewalks, trails and traffic.
Foote expressed concern for a road stub connected to Fieldcrest. He asked
whether it was going to be left as is or if it was going to be fixed.
Franzen replied that it was planned as an extension of Center Way to Rolling
Hills Road. He stated that since this road will not be extended, the City would
consider vacating that road. The land could revert back to the adjoining
property owners. He added that the City must retain a draining utility
easement for the existing watermain and proposed sidewalk.
Lisa Helt, 10600 Northmark Drive, stated that she was not satisfied with the
• sight line changes made with regards to the Nedegaard site.
Kardell stated that the proponent has requested this be published for Council on
September 20th. In the event the Commissioners all not in a position to make
a recommendation on the meeting of the 12th, that the proponent would be
responsible for new notices of a public hearing at City Council on a later date.
MOTION 1: Schlampp moved, seconded by Wissner to move to continue the
Public Hearing for Hartford Place to September 12, 1994 Planning
Commission Meeting and direct Staff to publish this item for the September
20th City Council meeting. Motion carried 5-0-0.
C. SUPER VALU CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS ADDITION by Super
Valu Corporation. Request for PUD Concept Review on 135.4 acres.
Location: North of Valley View Lane, between Highway 212 and I-494
Mules Lynberg, designer for Super Valu, stated that they were asking the
Planning Commission to recommend approval of the concept plan for the
balance of the corporate home office located off Valley View Road. They do
not have the capacity in their existing building to accommodate their needs.
He stated they would like to be in the position to have the option on the
existing site to expand the facility. He said they have been good citizens and
corporate members of Eden Prairie's business community. He stated that as
they took this plan and developed it, they tried to be sensitive to the residents
of Bryant Lake. He said it's impossible to develop the property at density at
reasonable without having some impact on site features. He stated they have
no timetable for the development of the property. They are asking the
Planning Commission to recommend approval of the concept and they will
then move forward as their needs develop.
Lynberg reviewed the project with the Commissioners using visual aids. He
stated that there was 5,500 feet of lake shoreline as part of this property. The
site had a fair amount of undevelopable areas. There was a significant wetland
area connected to Bryant Lake on the northwest corner. The significant
features of the site were two wooded hills adjacent to Bryant Lake.
Franzen stated that there were a number of shoreland variances and PUD
waivers identified as part of this project, which cannot be acted on until a
specific zoning request has been filed. The purpose of identifying the
variances was to help assess the development potential of the property and to
give Super Valu some indication of whether they can be supported. He stated
that the Staff Reports primary emphasis was on shoreland regulation impacts.
There are shoreland variances identified that cannot be acted on until a
rezoning is requested. He said direction provided to the developer by City
Staff prior to submittal of this project was to stay within the traffic projections
. of the Northeast Eden Prairie Traffic Study; total building square footage
should be less than what the ordinance would allow in order to preserve the
site's natural character; tree loss should be less than 40 percent and there
should be no wetland fill. The pretreatment of storm water to NURP
standards; and are to consider fewer but taller buildings and structured parking
to minimize the site coverage.
He added that Staff felt this was a low intensity use which preserves site
features, and was consistent with the traffic projections for the property. For
these reasons the Staff recommended approval according to the conditions of
the Staff Report.
Schlampp suggested the planting of vegetation now so it will be fully grown
and will help with screening buildings in the future.
Lynberg displayed a 3-D model of the proposed plan and explained the
features.
Donald Sorensen, 7121 Willow Creek Road, stated that details of this proposal
were not known until the meeting last Tuesday. They did not receive notice of
this meeting tonight. He said that since they didn't live within 500 feet of the
project they were not provided notice of the public hearing. Therefore, some
of them know of this project from the newspaper. As a result of this he was
• unprepared and unable to give a view. He suggested that the Planning
Commission give some time to consider what appropriate notice areas are
rather than 500 feet when a building 120 feet tall would affect people more
than 500 feet away. He expressed concern with regard to the visibility of the
building, the preservation of the wildlife and the tree situation. He suggested
that the whole tree loss situation needed to be revisited and corrected so they
know what trees are that are going to be lost. He stated that the slope situation
causes many developmental problems. He said that Super Valu was not
keeping the promises made by them during the whole planning process as far
as what they would and would not do.
Dorothy Larson, 7011 Willow Creek Road, showed a photograph to the
Planning Commission depicting the view from her deck which faces Super
Valu. She expressed concern about the lighting conditions of Super Valu that
would affect her home.
Dick Wiltz, 7141 Willow Creek Road, stated that he agreed with the issues
expressed by Donald Sorensen. He expressed concern about the traffic patterns
on the road around there which are already severe. He stated that if they are
granted concept approval and then they decided to move to another
community, the new developer might not be as sensitive. He said this was
opening a pandora's box to future people that don't know anything about being
• good corporate citizens. He expressed concern about the visibility of the
• existing building in the wintertime. He was not, however, against this
development taking place, but he would like to see these problems solved.
Bob Fransen, 6851 Beach Road, asked if there has been any environmental
study made of this site.
Kardell replied there would have to be one before the developer could actually
build.
Fransen expressed concern that Super Valu will be given the opportunity to
build what they want and when they want it. He said a blank check should not
be given to them to build what they feel like in 5 or 10 years from now. He
stated that in 10 years circumstances may change entirely. He said it's critical
that the environmental aspects be watched carefully and variances should not
be granted. He said there was a much better plan for this site, one that could
protect the view. It should not be given out as a blank check.
Karen Duncan, 11228 Willowood, stated that she had no objection to the
proposed expansion to the present building of two stories, no objection to the
other two buildings, but has a strong objection to the eight story building and
two level parking ramp. She expressed concern about the lights from that
building being left on all night and the impact it will have on her home. She
said there are no trees that can block that view. They are paying high taxes
. for living in an area that was convenient to all locations and they have a
feeling of living in the country which is why they purchased their 13 acres of
woodland property for privacy. She also expressed concern for the decrease in
property values.
Jim Perkins, 7012 Willow Creek Road, stated they have leaves about five
months and open views when they look at Super Valu for seven months. He
expressed concern about the screening of this site.
Barbara Kaerwer, 12800 Gerard Drive, stated that she did not live on the lake
but across from the freeway where there was going to be a wildlife refuge in
the future. She suggested putting the building down into the earth. There was
not a water table problem so there could be less height and it would be less
offensive. She also suggested additional berming to be done. She expressed
concern about the aesthetics of the site.
Peter Beck, Attorneys representing Karen and James Duncan, stated that the
Duncans property line immediately abutted the wetland property and their
house overlooked the existing parking lot and corner of the existing building.
He said they were about 50 to 75 feet north, roughly about 15 feet higher in
elevation than the sight line study. Their first concern was the removal of the
landscaping from the front of their house. The second concern was the parking
• ramp structure that would be bigger, higher, and closer to them than the
existing parking lot which they can already see. He said it didn't appear that
there was enough horizontal distance in that area to achieve enough screening
through berming and landscaping to screen the structure 10 to 14 feet in the
air. He stated that this building would be visible in the entirety from the front
of their house. They were not concerned with the square footage because it
can be put on this property way back off to the lake on the existing road.
They suggested a two-story building with underground parking. He stated that
it may be more difficult and more expensive, but in their view it's important to
protect their property values. He and the Duncan's invited the Planning
Commission to come and take a look at their home because it may help them
understand the dilemma they are facing.
Stuart Nolan, 7020 Willow Creek Road, stated that they would probably not
see the proposed building from their side of the lake, but they fully
sympathized with their neighbors on the southern side that would be affected.
He stated that Super Valu had done a wonderful job to develop property so far.
He said there had to be a balance with the concerns of the people that live in
and along that lake that will be affected by their proposals. He expressed
concern about added traffic at the northern side of the lake, added noise and
the added activities that parks will bring.
Wissner stated that she had not heard anyone object to Super Valu's expansion.
She said when she saw the plans and went over to the property she had a hard
• time accepting the tall building. She said this was definitely a continuance to
allow time for a plan to develop which has less visual impact on the lake.
Foote stated that he agreed with Wissner that it has to be continued. He did
not support the 8 story office because it was too high. He said the tree loss
was excessive. He felt the developer and the neighbors can work these issue
out together.
Schlampp stated that he did not support the 8 story building that there were
other ways to handle that particular view. He suggested conifers that would
remain green all year as opposed to only five months of the year. He stated
that he was in agreement with Wissner as to the continuance of this project.
Bauer stated that he was not prepared to move on this proposal. He believed
the Commission had to give some guidance to the developer and the neighbors
as to where their thought process was so they can come back in two weeks and
show where they are leading and helping facilitate some applicable resolution.
He said that until the presentation from the audience he was ready to support
the plan in it's entirety even though he found an 8 story building offensive.
He said Mr. Sorensen raised an issue on the 1978 agreement that he was not
aware of and until he saw that agreement he would not be prepared to act. He
stated that other than that 8-story building the rest of the proposal was very
• well put together and well screened, and that to him was the only building that
needed attention.
Kardell stated that she went out to the site and found it very difficult to
visualize but by seeing the materials that were brought this evening, she found
it to be very helpful in getting a sense of what it may look like. She was
supportive of more buildings with a lower height if the developer was able to
achieve their square footage needs. She said the existing site plan needs
additional work. She stated that some of the Commissioners have worked in
with residents in the neighborhood and found them to be extremely reasonable
and a very good group to work with. She encouraged the developer to work
together with these residents.
Mr. Ryan, developer, stated they did not anticipate approval tonight and are
very happy to have this continued. He stated that they worked with the City
Staff under the ordinance that you have to notify everybody within 500 feet.
Super Valu held a neighborhood meeting in advance of this meeting, and they
notified people beyond the 500 foot range. He said he felt they could all work
together and satisfy everyone. He did not believe that Super Valu ever misled
the Council. He said they did not violate the terms of the 1978 agreement.
Kardell stated that the Commission will go back and look at the records of the
1978 project for the next meeting.
• MOTION 1: Bauer moved, seconded by Foote to continue until September
26th. Motion carried 5-0-0.
D. RIVERVIEW HEIGHTS 2ND ADDITION by Hustad Homes and Robert and
James Brown. Request for PUD Concept Review on 39.45 acres, PUD
District Review on 12.85 acres in the R1-22 Zoning District and Preliminary
Plat of 12.85 acres into 12 single family lots. Location: Riverview Road
East.
Schlampp stated that he would step down because of conflict of interest as a
result of being a neighbor.
Franzen stated that in 1991, the proponent submitted a request for subdivision
of 65 acres into 33 lots. The 65 acres included 39.5 acres of developable
property and approximately 25.5 acres of flood plain. This proposal was
approved by the Planning Commission and the Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission. The project did not meet the mandatory category of
250 units, or the discretionary category of 40 units, however, the project did
involve a shoreland area (land below the 100 year flood plain) and therefore an
EAW could be petitioned. The City requested that the proponents prepare an
EAW.
. In November, 1992, the proponent submitted a revised development plan for
this property which included 19 lots on the upper portion of the property.
That proposal included a cul-de-sac with an outlot that could serve as a
potential location for future road access to the lower portion of the property.
That proposal did not trigger any EAW categories. The preliminary plat and
rezoning of 23.85 acres into 19 lots was approved by the City Council.
Beth Simonstad, representing the developer, reviewed their plans with the
Planning Commission. She stated they were requesting approval of 12.5 acres
into 12 single family lots. She stated they have some landscaping and some
minor work to finish on the first phase of the project and were very pleased
with it. They want to make sure they can get a public road down to the lower
part of this property. They were trying to keep the tree loss at a minimum so
a private drive is requested. They will have preserved the slopes and oak tree
by a conservancy easement. She stated that they wanted to make sure that
what they did was going to allow that property to develop consistent with
minimal disturbance of tree covering.
Peter Pope, 10541 E. Riverview Drive, expressed concern about the negative
impact this plan would have on property values. He was concerned about the
environmental issue regarding the bluff. He asked that in conclusion, that the
City Council not compromise on the boundaries that have been set.
Laura & Kevin Blummel, 10540 W. Riverview Drive, stated that their
• concerns are not necessarily the same as to the other people speaking tonight.
They were questioning the amount of meetings that will be needed to solve
these problems. They expressed concern for all the people that were not
notified. They were concerned about the traffic at the intersection because of
the dangers of little children around. They are concerned about the decision
made two years ago to have the trail access on the east side and didn't know
why it's being changed now. They want to know who owns Valley View
Road. They expressed concern about the wildlife refuge boundaries by
dedicating this property to the City. They want to know the status of the bluff
ordinance and if an environmental assessment of land to be gifted has been
down, and how access to MWCC easement is provided.
He stated that the trail easement was 150 feet starting from the base of the
river parallel with the river. Access to MWCC is down the public road across
the NURP pond easements.
Laura Blummel stated they wanted to preserve their property in the natural
state. They didn't want a trail to be made for people to leave garbage behind.
She stated the City was not planning for equal protection for the other lot
owners.
Richard Condon, 10561 E. Riverview Drive, stated that he built his house 25
• years ago and was part of Riverview Heights in it's infancy. He said he
• owned all the property from Highway 18 to 169. He said they originally
planned for their house to look down the river and there were limitations
regarding the heights. He said the Planning Commission and the Council
should consider height limitation for these new homes as to how high they can
go. He expressed concern for the displacement of the homes so it didn't
destroy the homes that were there already.
Dennis Chase, 10531 E. Riverview Drive, expressed concern about the short
notice given of the meeting. He expressed concern about the environment
preservation as a result of this plan. He was concerned about what the
building limitations were in terms of building. He expressed concern about the
new houses blocking his view of the river which would have him looking at a
house wall. He was also concerned about the property values decreasing. He
was asking for more time so he could investigate this situation further.
Ed Schlampp, 10901 Riverview Drive, stated that he wanted to clear up some
things that were not correct. He reviewed the 100 year event storm and
explained that the way the drainage was handled in sensitive areas. He stated
that his land borders directly on the Brown's property. He said he watched
Phase I go up which was built correctly and now Phase II was being done the
same way.
Peter Pope, stated that he was disappointed that Mr. Schlampp was going to
express and support his influence on this plan.
Dennis Chase, stated that Mr. Schlampp's home was in no conflict with this
plan because he did not have to look over the roofs on this site. He was far
enough away where he was not affected. He stated that it was improper for
him to comment on the plan.
Franzen stated that with regards to the views to the lots lower than the Chase
property and the Condon property, Staff had a concept plan that showed where
the houses were going to be located, and that a conservancy easement would
restrict homes from being built higher on the slopes blocking their views.
Bauer stated that he voted to approve this in 1991 and 1992.
Foote stated that he didn't have that information because he had not been on
the Commission too long. He asked what is the status of the bluff ordinance.
Franzen explained the City Council direction to form a Bluff Committee to
analyze how best the bluff could be preserved. A citizen, Staff, Council
committee was formed and studied alternatives for bluff use. The committee
developed a consensus statement which was forwarded to the City Council.
This statement said existing ordinances should provide adequate and reasonable
protection of the bluff. The Council accepted the consensus but did not direct
further study. He stated that this project was being consistent with all city
code ordinances and policies.
Wissner stated she was on the previous Commission. She said she supported
the project before and feels this phase is consistent with the 1st phase.
Wissner expressed concern for someone who had been there and all of a
sudden having a wall for a view. She said that the issue was addressed and it
would not occur so she felt better about that.
Kardell stated that she supported the project.
MOTION 1: Bauer moved, seconded by Foote to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 4-0-0.
MOTION 2: Bauer moved, seconded by Foote to move to recommend to the

E. EDEN PRAIRIE METRO MINI-STORAGE by Property Resources
Corporation. Request for Zoning District Amendment in the I-2 Park District
on 4.1 acres and Site Plan Review in the I-2 Park District on 4.1 acres.
Location: 6851 Flying Cloud Drive.
Gregg Hallemcamp, KKE Architects, reviewed his project using visual aids
with the Planning Commission. He stated that the owner purchased the
property on Flying Cloud Drive with a vacant building. The owner was
planning on moving his corporate office in there and turning the development
into a mini-storage facility. He stated that the owner did a similar plan in
Bloomington. He showed the Planning Commission photographs of that facility
which shows the design they plan to use. He stated they want to keep the dock
is and were requesting a variance. There was eight foot fencing along the front
• of the entrance way. They were seeking a distance of 19 feet and the setback
is 40 feet. He said they felt it would be acceptable to keep it as is.
Kardell asked why there was a need for eight foot fencing when the other
mini-storage areas in the City have been okay with a six foot fence.
Hallemcamp replied it was for security purposes. Their alternative was a six
foot fence with three strands of barbed wire. Rather than that, they would
prefer to do an eight foot fence. He stated that they had the property owner to
the south come in and discuss the drainage situation with the NURP pond
overflowing.
Schneider stated that Staff recommended the approval of this property subject
to some revisions of the grading plan and subject to tree replacement. He said
Staff did not have a problem approving the three variances that were for
landscaping and screening.
John Weedum, owner of the building immediately to the south, expressed
concern about the drainage onto his property as a result of sharing a common
driveway. He believed that the City Engineering Department should address
the drainage in the whole area because it was creating a large area that was
turning into a wetland.
• Bauer stated he was in favor of the plan. He expressed concern about the
draining problem and would like to see a little more detail on the screening of
the loading dock.
Wissner expressed concern about the draining issue. Franzen replied that this
was common when you are dealing with older areas.
Wissner stated that she supported the project and if it looked like the one in
Bloomington it will be a great improvement.
Foote stated that he supported the project and agrees with Bauer and Wissner.
He said he liked the eight foot fence versus the six foot with barbwire.
Bauer suggested that if the Commission approved the plan they should pass on
to the Council and the Board of Appeals with an eight foot amendment.
Schlampp stated that a wetland didn't absorb anything if it's a true wetland
because it had a clay base. He said this was going to be an improvement
because they were getting a NURP pond which would contain a sediment.
Kardell stated she supports the project. She expressed concern about the eight
foot fence, but if the other Commissioners supported it she had no problem
• with it. She said this plan would be a big improvement on this site. She said
she concurred with everyone else regarding the drainage as an area issue.
MOTION 1: Bauer moved, seconded by Wissner to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 5-0-0.
MOTION 2: Bauer moved, seconded by Wissner to move to recommend to
the City Council approval of the request of Property Resources Corporation for
Zoning District Amendment in the I-2 Park District, based on plans dated
August 19, 1994, and subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report dated
August 19, 1994, further subject to our recommendation that the normal
fencing be 8 foot tall. Motion carried 5-0-0.
MOTION 3: Bauer moved, seconded by Wissner to move to recommend to
the CIty Council approval of the request of Property Resources Corporation for
Site Plan Review based on plans dated August 19, 1994, and subject to the
recommendations of the Staff Report dated August 19, 1994. Motion carried
5-0-0.
F. BUCA RESTAURANT by Parasole Restaurant Holdings, Inc. Request for
Zoning District Amendment in the C-Com Zoning District and Site Plan
Review on 1.25 acres for a 4,200 square foot restaurant addition. Location:
Highway 5 and Mitchell Road.
• Dale Wenkus, Wold Architects, stated that their proposal was a complete
remodelling of Mexican Village plus the addition of approximately 4,000
square feet. He reviewed the plan with the Planning Commission using visual
aids. They were adding enough parking spaces to meet the Code and,
therefore, were not requesting any variances. He said everything falls in the
ordinance for the exterior material. He handed out samples of the dark color
brick that was to be used. The primary building materials include cream-
colored glazed face brick and stucco. He said the mechanical equipment and
the enclosed dumpsters would be screened by a stucco wall. He stated that
there would be an 80 square foot free-standing sign at the front entrance. The
neon lit sign will simulate a bottle pouring wine into a glass, but the neon will
not blink or appear to move.
Bauer asked when they estimated opening up the restaurant. Wenkus replied
that they were hoping to open in the middle of the Spring next year in March.
He said they wanted to get in the ground before the frost.
Wenkus stated they were keeping the shell of the Mexican Village and were
stripping away all the bad material on the outside.
Wissner asked if there was going to be an outside eating area. Wenkus stated
there would not be.
i
• Bauer asked if McDonalds was going to go up on that corner. Schneider
replied yes.
Schneider stated this was a remodel of the now vacant Mexican Village. They
were adding 4200 square feet from the building, back a distance from the
Mexican Village. He said this would require additional caliper inches of trees
on the site per Code. He stated there was enough vegetation on the site so
they were not adding additional trees for the screening. The project met Code
and no variances were requested. Staff recommended approval.
MOTION 1: Wissner moved, seconded by Bauer to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 5-0-0.
MOTION 2: Wissner moved, seconded by Bauer to move to recommend to
the City Council approval of the request of Parasole Restaurant Holdings, Inc.

G. MCDONALDS PLAYLAND ADDITION by McDonalds. Request for PUD
Concept Amendment and PUD District Review on 1.5 acres, Site Plan Review
and Zoning District Amendment on 1.5 acres for a playland addition.
Location: Prairie Center Drive and Highway 169.
Franzen stated that Jerry Roper, of McDonalds, recently contacted staff and
indicated that McDonalds wanted to proceed with the original square glass.
enclosure of the play structure.
Bauer stated that beauty was in the eye of the beholder, but the City should be
consistent with Burger King on 4 and 5. He felt they should move it on and
let Council decide. He recommended denial of this project.
Foote stated that he agreed with Bauer to move to recommend denial of this
project.
MOTION 1: Bauer moved, seconded by Foote to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 5-0-0.
MOTION 2: Bauer moved, seconded by Wissner, to move to deny the
request of McDonalds Restaurant for PUD Concept Amendment, PUD District
Review on 1.5 acres, Site Plan Review and Zoning District Amendment on 1.5
