A. ]guest for Eden Prairie Figure Skating Club
It has been recommended that the Eden Prairie Figure Skating Club
"EPFSC"be allowed to install a jumping harness in the Olympic Ice Area to
be used during EPFSC ice rentals under the supervision of EPFSC only. The
jumping harness would be utilized to assist older skaters in the club by
providing a means to better practice the art of skating jumps without falling.
Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Monday,May 3, 1993
The harness will not be used during any public ice time including
developmental ice time without the proper supervision of the EPFSC.
All costs for the jumping harness will be paid for by the EPFSC.
MOTION: Richard moved to approve the installation of the jump harness at the
Olympic Ice Arena. Motion seconded by Hilgeman. Motion passed
8-0.
DISCUSSION: Brown questioned the developmental ice time and the harnesses
limitation of use as being the same time as the figure skating club time. Lambert
clarified it as meaning that unless there is an instructor there that knows and can
supervise the use of the harness,they would not allow any body to use it.
B. Letter from Tom Larson.Minnesota Wildlife Refuge
FYI item only.
Lambert wanted the Commission to be aware of and understand the letter s
.; outlining the proposed boundary additions of the Minnesota Valley National
Wildlife Refuge is in a preliminary stage only.
V. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
A. Fairfield West Phase 2
This is the Phase 2 project that was continued from July, 1992. The project
will include an additional 11 lots on 6.3 acres.
Popovich Lynch asked Lambert to clarify the status of the Natural Resources
Committee's finalization of their priorities, if the Council approves a
referendum what happens after that. Lambert explained that they are down
to seven sites. The proposed schedule is to make a recommendation to the
City Council at the July 6 meeting, assuming the Parks Commission and the
Cultural Commission will be able to hold a joint meeting on June 28 to hear a
special presentation from the Natural Resources Committee. If the final
recommendation of the Committee includes the Fairfield West Phase 2 site as
one of the sites it would like to acquire, it will then be the City Council's
decision when and if it goes to a referendum.

Monday,May 3, 1993
Popovich Lynch stated that the question is whether or not we want to lose
the entire site to high-density zoning when the facts show the trees in that
location are 150-250 years old. There will probably be substantial damage to
those trees that will result from construction near the trees. She does not
feel comfortable losing those trees to an experiment in which there will be no
way to determine whether or not the experiment succeeded until 3-5 years
after construction has been completed.
Hilgeman feels that the "ultimate"tree lose will be much greater than the j
originally stated 28%tree loss. Experts,including developers,believe there d
is no way that a developer can develop the area as R1-13.5 and only loose i
28%of the trees. She does not believes that by zoning the area as R1-44
that it would mean bigger houses and amenities that would result in more '?
tree loss. She believes that a homeowner in the R1-44 district would
purchase a home because of the wooded lot and not take out trees or at the
least limit any further tree loss. She does not support the zoning of the area
as R1-13.5 and further states that it was meant to be zoned R1-44 only and it
should remain that way.
Brown asked Lambert why the Commission is put on the spot continually
because builders want to build more than what is recommended to be there
under R1-44 zoning always asking for twice as much as what is planned for
the property.
Lambert states that the property in question is not zoned R144 that it is
zoned rural. Most land that is not developed in Eden Prairie is zoned rural.
It is guided as low-density residential,which generally means R1-13.5 lots.
He does not believe that Centex has come in"asking for twice as much as ,
what is planned for the property." Centex has followed the guide plans and
requests set before them. The Big Woods is typically the kind of woods that
would be considered to be zoned R1-44 because of the natural resources in
the area.
The reason Lambert recommended allowing this experiment, is because
Centex has gone much further than any one else in the City has ever gone in
trying to preserve trees. Centex shows that it is possible, although difficult,
to develop this subdivision with only 28%tree loss. Lambert was very
impressed with Centex and the extra effort and study they have put
. v
C

I
Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
CMonday, May 3, 1993
forth in the development of this particular site,that it is really difficult to
argue that we should not give them the chance to try to save those trees with
their proposed controls. Lambert believes if the experiment were to actually
work,that it would serve as a great standard as far as preserving trees for
other developers developing in woods. If it doesn't work,Lambert would
then recommend going back to 1 acre lots or scenic easements, or other
restrictions that are appropriate and legal.
F
The city tree preservation ordinance states that we want to preserve 70%of
the significant trees not all the trees. This site is a mature maple forest, 60%
of the trees on this site are significant. In a typical subdivision in a typical
w woods that has been developed 30% of the trees are significant and in a
typical development there are only 70%of that 30%that are saved. In the
Fairfield West development,we want to save 70%of 60%of the trees. This
subdivision would remain more heavily wooded after development than most
subdivision.
Richard asks, at what point does the commission decide that the experiment
has worked on these lots, do we allow the developer to develop additional
�. lots? Lambert's recommendation is there would not be a final analysis of this
experiment until 3 years after the last lot was developed.
Putnam stated that Centex has been assessed for sewer and water, storm
sewers that do not even serve the site,Candlewood Parkway as a collector
street to serve the area that is currently there and for the future Scenic
Heights Road. Centex feels fivstrated because its has been assessed for
urban development and cannot get approval to develop the site. Centex feels
they are being singled out by the City to a standard different from other
developments. '
Richard believes that Centex and the Commission have the same intentions in
mind in regards to the lot sizes being 1/2 to 1 acre in size. Richard feels that
the Commission believes the bigger the lot the better likelihood the trees
would be saved. Richard is comfortable with the 1/2 to 1 acre lot size.
Bowman also believes that Centex has done an exceptional job to ensure
there would be minimal tree loss. However, he does not feel comfortable
with the project being an experiment and the jeopardizing of the trees.
Hilgeman doesn't believe that Centex is being singled out. She states that it
is unfortunate that Centex feels that way. She believes that Centex should

have known when it purchased the property that the property was of a great
significant historical value to the City. She also states that if the Commission
votes to approve zoning the property R1.13.5 that it would be going against
its own City Code,Chapter 11,Land Use Regulation, Section 11.10,
Subdivision 2.
MOTION: Popovich Lynch moved to request that the Parks,Recreation and
Natural Resources Commission deny the rezoning request from
Tandem Corporation from rural to R1-13.5 on the 6.34 acres as well
as the preliminary plat and other items as indicated in the staff report
dated April 23, 1993, for the following reasons based on the City
Attorney's memo:
1. The purpose ofRl-44 is to reserve appropriated located areas for single-
family living on large lots with vegetations, slopes,water bodies or other
significant natural features are best preserved through large lot development.
2. Rezoning to R1-13.5 district within the lot sizes are too small for the
heavily wooded portion of the proposed development.
�_. 3. If zoned R1-13.5 it is likely to cause substantial environmental damage by
undue destruction of the woods.
4. Under R1-44 it should be possible to preserve at least 75%of the
significant trees and tree mass in the R1-44 district(per the City Attorney's
memo).
5. Based on what we know,we will not know the damage of the experiment
until 3 to 5 years out and that it is inappropriate to design other areas based
upon the extension of this experiment.
Motion passed 6-1.
DISCUSSION:
Kracum states that the Big Woods is a mature forest. He states it is evident of
human encroachment and ultimately the site will eventually be developed and he
feels strongly that RI-44 is the appropriate zoning because key preservation is the
utmost goal of the Commission.
Richard is uneasy with the recommendation motion in that it seems that the
Commission got an agreement from Centex to delay further development by
5
«.
..........
Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Monday,May 3, 1993
allowing this experiment to happen and now it seems as though the Commission
has possibly changed the experiment by adding a new restriction. Richard has been
in favor of developing the old woods R1-44 and feels that 1/2 to 1 acre lots are
fair.
B. Sowles Property
Penning Cross explained this development is located between Bearpath West
and the Fairfield South addition on the East and is 162 single family lots with
32 multi-family lots.
Lee Johnson, a representative of Orrin Thompson Homes, explained the 13.5
transition zone. The developer is proposing three zoning classification-
R6.5, most of the balance of the property would be R9.5, and R13,5.
t
Brown was concerned about the north lots having been flooded a couple of
years ago. The developer is not aware of any flooding. Brown possibly
mistook the lots for another location.
Richard spoke to a couple of homeowners up in the Fairfield area and
expressed concerned about area traffic from the high-density area once
developed. Johnson will be addressing the concerns with the City. He does i
believe that people will use Dell Road to get to and from the area once the
development is complete and does not believe there will be a traffic problem
for residents in the Fairfield development.
Bowman was concerned about the wildlife in the wetland area. Johnson
explained that by not making the area a common area and by making the
wetland area private ownership under a scenic easement,that it would be the
best way to protect the wildlife and wetland area by limiting its use.
MOTION: Popovich Lynch moved to approve the development project by Orrin
Thompson Homes on the Sowles property according to the Planning
Commission's Staff Report dated April 23, 1993 and the
supplemental staff report dated April 30, 1993. Kube-Harderwijk
seconded the motion. Motion passed 7-0.

V. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
A. Centex Deerfield
Penning-Cross stated this project was reviewed at the Planning Commission on
May 10, 1993, and was continued for two weeks due to some issues that
needed to be resolved. Through the staff process,the issues have mostly been
resolved with the exception of the assessments on Dell Road which will need
to be addressed with the Engineering Department. The Parks Commission
usually reviews a project after the Planning Commission makes its
recommendation; however,to keep the developer on schedule, notices for a
public hearing are being published for the June 1, 1993,City Council meeting.
Dan Blake,Centex Homes, made a presentation of the proposed site. The
proposed plan has four uses--neighborhood commercial,multi-family
residential, single family residential, and a park and trailway system. The
project will be built over a 34 year span. Trails and sidewalks will be built as
per the City's requirements.

Approved Minutes
Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
Monday,May 17, 1993
Penning-Cross stated although this is one plan that is being proposed, it is
two separate projects. The commercial project is separate from the housing
project and regarding the removal of the NURP pond and cash park fees,the
commercial will pay the cash park fees and the housing will not pay the fees.
i
Brown asked with the tree groupings on lot 5 (21.3 square feet),lot 6(18.8
square feet)and lot 16(25,000 square feet)would it be advantageous to
make the lots smaller to save the wooded area? Blake explained the lot size f
is not a factor as much as being able to grade Dell Road to serve the
development south of it is.
Hilgeman asked Penning Cross to explain why it was recommended in the
Comprehensive Guide Plan to change the housing density to a higher density
than what was originally shown on the Guide Plan. Penning Cross explained s
the Guide Plan generally designates unzoned land as low density residential.
With 212 and Dell Road going through the area,there are compelling
reasons to upgrade the density so that there is multi-family and a small
commercial area next to a major highway.
Lambert questioned the time frame of the construction of trails as well as the
grading of the park. Blake explained construction of the trails will be tied in '
with road construction as per the statFs requirements and the grading of the
park would be done during the adjacent development.
Richard requested Centex inform the buyers of the homes be notified of the
trails behind their property. Penning Cross stated that if the trails go in with j
road construction,the house should be under construction after the trail was
constructed. Potential property owners will be aware of the trail prior to
home construction.
Richard wanted to know what is the City's protection on the park in the trade
off of the land with MN-DOT. Lambert explained prior to the second
reading on the development,the park, the plans,grading, and boundaries
will have to approved by MIN-DOT and to the conditions approved by the
Parks Commision and City Council.
Bob Smith, representative for the commercial site, addressed the screening
issues of the commercial site. The commercial site uses will be general retail,
a restaurant and a gas convenience store serving the residential area.
Screening of the light from the residential areas will be accomplished by 90'
wide by 10'high berming with pine trees along both sides of the residential
areas.

Lambert brought up the issue of pedistrian traffic to the site and a need to
run a trail along the southern boundary to encourage its use rather than
people trespassing through the surrounding properties to get to the site.
Richard feels it would be a good idea to put a trail in. The developer will
grade for a trail but will not put a trail in until facts show that people are
actually walking through the properties to get to the site. The trail
construction would then be a City responsibility.
MOTION: Brown moved to approve the Centex Deerfield project as per the
recommended acceptable changes of the May 7, 1993, staff report and the
w
completion of a trail easement along the southern boundary. Hilgeman seconded
the motion. Motion passed 6-0.
B. St. Ed-ward's Field
This project is in the northwest section of Eden Prairie. Dan Herbst,
Pemtom Land Company, reviewed the St. Edward's Field proposal. The
development consists of 9 single family lots,the platting of the balance of
the Dorf property,the Lunzer property and outlot A for the purpose of
preserving the wetland.
The variances that are being requested are a 25'front yard set back from
variance on the right of Purgatory Creek. Also because this in a shoreline
area, it is being requested there be a 120'front yard set back on two lots.
These variances are being requested for the purpose of keeping the houses
off the wetland.
Penning Cross stated there are no significant trees on this site. Because this
land is less than 10 acres of land the current policy does not require NURP
ponds. The storm water will be handled by a 72" sump manhole which
collects the sediment prior to it being discharged into the wetland.
Popovich Lynch asked if this has already gone to the Watershed District and
if they agreed to the filling of lots 4 and 5. Herbst stated it did not go to the '
district,normally the district does not review this on the basis of City Council
back up. Penning Cross stated the wetlands that are being filled are going to
be mitigated behind lot one and according to Watershed District standards.

f
A. Trapping„Ordinance .�
Stuart Fox,Manager of Parks and Natural Resources reviewed the proposed ,
trapping ordinance. The ordinance was passed by the Parks Commission by
a 7-0 vote in December 1992. At the first reading by the City Council,the
Council made a revision to recommend the removal of leg hold traps from
the ordinance. At the subsequent second reading, the City Council after
hearing comments from several property owners as well as individuals fro the
DNR,U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service felt it would be best to turn the
ordinance back to the subcommittee for further refinement. At which time,
the Trapping Committee met twice--once on April 12 and then on April 20,
1993,to iron out the changes. Fox highlighted a few of the changes that
were made,all of which are spelled out in the proposed trapping ordinance.
The decision was made that only original members would vote on the
changes. Each change was reviewed piece by piece and then a vote was
taken. It was not a concensus by reaching 100 percent of the unanimity, but
there were majority votes on the proposed changes.
i
Hilgeman asked when somebody requests permission to trap outside the
permitted area, does that individual have to prove or provide a record of
methods used for elimination of the animal prior to the issuance of the
permit. Fox stated it would come through the Wildlife Management Plan.
Basically,the animal control officer meets with the homeowners,tries a
variety of methods,providing such traps, sets the traps, and checks them.
The officer documents the methods used to trap the animal so that if it were
to ever come before the Commission, it would be known exactly what steps
were taken.
There were spectators at the meeting to speak against the ordinance.
Richard Layborn,a non-voting member of the subcommittee strongly
recommends the Commission reconsider the ordinance and prior to voting,to
be aware and understand the leg hold traps. Elaine Sorenson, an Eden
Prairie resident,wanted to bring to the attention of the Committee,
subdivision 9B --the use of live traps are to be used only after using other
S i

reasonable efforts to use other non-lethal methods including but not limited
to repellents, harassment and exclusionary devices. Linda Hatfield, a
member of Friends of Animals,would like to see the use of leg holds for
nuisance trapping only.
Brown questioned because of the DNR's stand,the Commission cannot
legally outlaw the use of the leg traps. Fox stated the Commission can !
prohibit trapping within the City and eventually the leg traps could become
illegal but the DNR's position is either the City prohibits trapping all together
or it allows trapping based on their laws. The City can determine where
trapping can occur in the City, or if it can occur in the City,but the DNR
believes that it is their responsiblity to regulate how trapping occurs.
Popovich Lynch stated she feels that by taking into consideration the issues
and concerns of the diverse groups represented at the meeting, the changes
made were the best that the Commission could provide. She feels that it was
a mutual compromise among all parties involved and that no one group came i
out of the meeting as a winner.
�.. MOTION: Kube Harderwijk motioned to approved the revised trapping
ordinance. Hilgeman seconded the motion. Motion passed with S in favor with 1
abstention. Brown abstained, stating that he could not vote for trapping of any
kind.

to correct a gap to properly align the joints and to seal the moisture out. The !
second change order,was to put an ADA(Americans with Disabilities Act)
