MINUTES OF OCTOBER 22, 1973 , MEETING . M/Garens, S/Boerger to approve the minutes of the October 22, 1973, meeting as presented. Motion carried unanimously. II. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS. A. Letter from Olympic Hills Golf Club concerning leaf recycling center. Jessen reviewed the letter from Don McGlynn, president of the Olympic ( Hills Golf Club, and indicated that they would review this operation with ' the golf club prior to renewing the permit next year. No action required. B. Communication from Nine Mile Creek Watershed District concerning funding for.�uvater resources management. Jessen distributed copies of the report dated November 12 , 1973 , concerning the extent of the programs that the Watershed District can assist in imple- menting with municipalities as they relate to water resource management and its potential impact on open space acquisition in the Village. Three types of programs are available through the Watershed District. These are: (1) the Cooperative Project Account in their administrative budget; (2) a special assessment procedure for projects of local benefit; and (3) a one mill levy for the implementation of projects identified in the overall water resources management plan of the District. Jessen reviewed several questions relative to the possibility of utilizing these sources in flood plain and other environmental Protection within the community. The report included five recommendations to the Commission. These were: 1 . The Village move to secure legal opinion as to impact of new public waters definition on potential land acquisition along the creeks and river in the Village. 2. The Village request that the watershed districts formulate a Park & Recreation Commission Minutes -2- 11/12/73 policy as to the extent of their interest in a land acquisition program along the creeks and river. 3. The staff be directed to prepare a list of all lands along the creeks which are to be acquired for public recreational use. 4. Staff conduct a study as to the'impact of removing all of this land from the tax rolls and make recommendations to the Council and Commissions concerning this approach to flood plain protection and other environmental protection zoning districts. 5. Staff be directed to study the possibility of issuing revenue bonds vs. having the watershed district issue G.O. Bonds for the purchase of those lands along the creeks which cannot be acquired other than by purchase. M/Blacklock, S/Berkland that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend to the Council that these five recommendations be undertaken. Motion carried unanimously. III. RECOMMENDATIONS AND REPORTS. A. Agency Liaison Reports. T None. B. Report on Status of 1974 LAWCON and Natural Resources funding1for Anderson { Lakes Park and Staring Lake Park. Jessen distributed copies of the report dated November 12, 1973 . To date, $950, 000 of Fiscal Year 1974 and 1975 LAWCON and Natural Resources funds ha e been programmed for the Anderson Lakes Park Project. The Physical Development Committee of the Metropolitan Council has approved the expenditure program which includes the Anderson Lakes Park allocation, and the full Metropolitan Council will be considering this expenditure program on November 29th. Following action by the Metropolitan Council, the expenditure program will be reviewed and hopefully approved by the State Planning Agency. The •money should be available in early 1974. The Staring Lake project, which qualified for Local Project Funding, has a very slim chance of receiving any grant assistance from the 1974 Natural Resource funds. No final decision has been made on this yet, but the early expenditure program developed for this account has not included any monies for the Staring Lake project. No action required. C. Snowmobile Trail Plan Report. Jessen reported that the snowmobile club has run into two major stumbling Cblocks in trying to obtain easements for their property along the proposed trail route. Northrup King has given a negative response to the request for I -3- snowmobile trail crossings while the Metropolitan Airports Commission has expressed some problem with the recent state law outlawing C snowmobiles on airport property. There is some question as to definition of airport property and whether it includes all of the flight clearance zone on which the trail is proposed in the Flying Cloud Airport area. Boerger suggested that Jessen keep good records of all of the communications with the snowmobile club people so that any problems in implementing the trail plan can be properly identified. M/Boerger, S/Garens that the Director write a letter to the clubs concerning the present status of the trails and indicating our concern that they need to proceed more quickly if we are to implement a plan for the ]973-74 season. Motion carried unanimously. D. Development Proposals: I . Gelco Corporation - Presentation by Ray Geiger. Emerson Greenberg and Ray Geiger gave a brief presentation of the Gelco proposal for corporate headquarters on the north shore of Anderson Lakes. A model indicating the development plan was presented as well as b booklets outlining the plan distributed to the Commission members. The plan calls for a five story building to be nestled into the hillside with approximatery 85-100 cars parked underground with the remaining 200 cars parked, in the wooded area in a fashion so as to minimize the visual C intrusion that they would cause on the lake environment and also to minimize the amount of cutting required in the woods. 3 Mr. Geiger said that the building would be terraced and that the terraces Hof the building would be covered with polygonum, a ground cover common on the site. The sides of the building will be reflectorized glass in, a color that will blend with the site. The building is planned so that it will step down the hill, taking advantage of the natural slopes and topographic features of the area. No development will occur in the meadow area between the building and the lake and it will be protected for its visual amenity and its wildlife habitat. Jessen indicated that some discussion had taken place concerning the need for control as identified in the Blacklock study of the Anderson Lakes Park area and that the Gelco people had indicated a willingness to work with the staff in resolving this problem. M/Garens, S/Berkland that the Commission refer this proposal to the Staff for detailed study and recommendation at the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously. 2, Kingdale Kennels, Jessen briefly reviewed the Kingdale Kennels development proposal and indicated that he was not able to secure a copy of the report prepared by the Department of Interior concerning the creation of a national wildlife and recreation area on the Minnesota River. However, he had talked to -4- Mr. Ed Crozier on the telephone and Mr. Crozier indicated that. their plan did not contemplate the acquisition of any lands north of Riverview Road so that the Kingdale proposal is not inconsistent with that plan. The Kingdale proposal is however inconsistent with the Village Open Space System Concept which calls for the protection of all of the Bluffs area from east to west in Eden Prairie, lessen indicated that the request was contrary to that plan and this section is a major policy decision for the Commission as to whether or not development in the Bluffs area ought to occur. lessen indicated that the Commission had to either continue to support their Open Space Plan of acquiring all of the land along the Bluffs and probably move to purchase this site or the Commission should grant approval for Mr. Brill to proceed with this Kingdale Kennel development proposal and recognizing that future development in the area�:would be difficult to turn down because of the precedent established. Blacklock asked why Mr.. Brill was proposing to locate this development in the vicinity of the Minnesota River. Brill replied that he needs an area which is relatively remote from residential development. He presently operates the kennels right across the street from the Homart Regional Center site and he is being forced out of that location because of high assessments and increasing taxes. The river affords him a remote area where the noise from his operation will not offend people living close by. Brill stated that he would be buying 11 acres total from Marty Grill. Five of these acres are shown on the plan map which the Commission has to review. There are six additional acres to the east of this site. rNo sewer or water is probable in this location for 20 years. Mr. Brill said that the kennel cleans the dog cages daily and some of the dog refuse would go into a septic tank and drain field while much of it is sent with the garbage collection man. The kennels are all disinfected daily to minimize the odor. Anderson suggested that Commission give-very careful consideration to this proposal as no buildings presently exist along the Bluffs and he feared that this would set a "bad precedent" . Blacklock stated that the slopes are so subject to erosion that she feels no development ought to occur in that area. Brill responded that they had worked on this project with Pat Kennedy from the Soil Conservation Service and also a consulting engineer and that they had planned to be very careful about erosion problems. Boerger asked about the time schedule for Kingdale to move to this new location. Brill responded that it depends on how soon his present site goes for sale in the Major Center Area. Brill said that he has requested consideration from the Village for the last four or five years on locating Canother site for his operation in the community. He indicated that each of the sites he has proposed has been objectionable to Village officials because of its location in close proximity to other developments, etc. • -5- M/Anderson, S/Blacklock that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend to the Council and the Planning Commission that this proposal be rejected because the Park and Recreation Commission wnats to continue to hold this as open space and recommends to the Council that we move to acquire the property in question. Lengthy discussion followed. Boerger suggested that the item be tabled for two weeks while additional information is developed. He suggested that all of the Commissioners view the site and that the Staff analyze what is buildable along the entire river bluff area and develop cost estimates for the acquisition of all of those areas along the bluff which are not presently identified as open space in P.U.D. plans, either approved or pending, before the Village. Boerger asked the cost of the 112 acres in question in the Kingdale Kennel site and Mr. Brill responded that his cost is $3,500 per acre. Garens stated that he would like .to see the Village spend the $40,000 on active recreation space rather than on the purchase of undevelopable slopes. Anderson responded by saying that this may be the only parcel we have to buy along the river bluff area as the rest would be dedicated to the Village through P.U.D. development process. Boerger staffed his reservations about approving the project because this would establish a clear precedent for other land owners to propose development along the Bluffs. He also stated that without the additional information he had requested, he did not, see how the Council could make a final decision on this particular matter. J9,ubsequent to this discussion, Anderson withdrew his motion and Blacklock withdrew her second. M/Boerger, S/Garens that the Commission table this item for two weeks while the Staff studies the situation on the entire river bluff area and develop additional data for the Commission's consideration at the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously. 3. Pearson Gravel Pit. Jessen briefly reviewed the memo from Carl Jullie, Village Engineer, trod indicated that in light of Mr. Pearson's withdrawal of this request for a gravel mining license, there was no need for the Commission to consider this matter at this time. 'No action required. E. Smetana Sector Plan. M/Boerger, S/Anderson that the discussion of the Smetana Sector Plan be tabled until the next meeting because of the lateness of the hour. Motion carried unanimously. C IV. DISCUSSIONS. A. 1974 Program Budget. Jessen reported that the Village Staff was presently undertaking an organi- zational study and -.onsidering reorganization approaches to formulate a J _6_ recommendation to the Village Council. In light of this, he suggested that this discussion be tabled until the reorganization study was completed. C M/Garens, S/Berkland to table the budget discussion until a later date. Motion carried unanimously. V. ANNOUNCEMENTS. ' A. Receipt of Jack Niles Award as Distinguished Younci Recreator by Marty lessen, Director of Parks and Recreation. lessen reported that at the 1973 Fall Conference of the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association, he had been named as the recipient of the jack Niles Award. This award is -presented to someone in the field of recreation who has worked as a professional for 10 years or less. The Commission insisted that a note be made in the minutes offering their unanimous congratulations to lessen on the receipt of this award. .; VI. ADJOURNMENT. M/Garens, S/Berkland that the meeting be adjourned. Motion carried unanimously.

M/Blacklock, S/Erickson to approve the minutes of the November 12, 1973, meeting as presented. Motion carried unanimously. II. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS: A. Communication from Rita Kooiman requesting that she be replaced on the Park and Recreation Commission. Jessen reported that Miss Kooiman had called and stated that she would be unable to continue to serve on the Park 1 and Recreation Commission because of a recent job she has taken and a lack of time to do an adequate job. He stated that he had sent a memo to the Mayor and members of the Village Council indicating that she wished to be replaced as well as indicating that the terms of Holasek, Erickson, ane Blacklock were expiring at the end of the year along with Roger . Boerger's term as Council Representative. In addition, Steve Eisch's term will expire in May, 1974. Garens suggested that we send Miss Kooiman's nameplateto her and also draft a letter for the Chairman's signature thanking her for her service on the Commission. No action required. B. setter from Tay Morgan, 15501 N. Hillcrest Court, requesting a hunting permit for Village property along pur ator Creek: Jack Hacking, Director of Public Safety, reviewed the gun ordinanceAin e illage and stated that he felt this would not be a good idea as many people use this area for other things. Mini-bikers and snowmobi.lers use the area as well as hikers. Hacking said he felt there would be no hunting in the Village within two years, except possibly the river bottom area. He further stated that if we allow Mr. Morgan to hunt in this area, we would have to grant permits to any resident who wants to hunt on Village property. Jessen agreed with Hacking's analysis that it would be very difficult to turn down another request for a hunting permit on Village property and that Page 2 Eden Prairie Park & Recreation Commission Minutes November 26, 1973 he felt the Village was not in the business of providing hunting facilities, but rather public open space. M/Holasek, S/Blacklock that the Park and Recreation Commission deny Mr. Morgan's request for a hunting permit and that the Commission continue to recommend to the Council a policy of no hunting on park land. Motion carried 6-0, and Garens abstained. Terry Fields arrived at this point. C. Request from Eden Prairie School District for "Site Planning Services on School Sites" . lessen indicated that at the time the Forest Hills land- ? scaping plan was considered by the School Board, they expressed a desire for additional landscaping and site improvements at,the other school sites and requested that the Village consider having Chris Enger work with the school staff in accomplishing this end. School Board Representative Enblom stated that the district was concerned about making the school environment nicer, and they felt that landscaping at all of the sites was a means of achieving this goal. - r M/Garens, S/Fields that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend to the Council that the Park and Recreation Staff assist the School District in the site planning efforts. Motion carried unanimously. f D. Request from Eden Land Corporation for maintenance services for a free skating rink at the Edenvale Golf Course. lessen distributed copies of the letter from Don Peterson and reviewed it with the Commission. Mick Ldbros, from, Eden Land Corporation, stated that they felt a warming house was necessary because of the wear and tear that the skates would cause on the club house. He reviewed the hours of operation for the club house and stated that they also intend to have a cross country ski area and rental shop there. Garens asked if the Village felt that we had the maintenance capability to provide the maintenance service. lessen stated that the new maintenance equipment recently purchased should make the maintenance aspect possible, but that the staffing of the warming house and supervising the rink would be extremely difficult with the budget previously adopted. Boerger suggested that rather than spreading ourselves too thin by maintaining new areas, both here and at Prairie View School where we are committed to provide a free skating rink, that we ought to concentrate on providing a higher quality of maintenance on the facilities on Village park land. C M/Garens, S/Berkland that the Park and Recreation Commission felt that providing the services requested by Eden Land Corporation was beyond our Page 3 Eden Prairie Park & Recreation Commission Minutes November 26, 1973 ( capabilities for this year, and that Jessen write a letter thanking Eden Land Corporation rejecting their generous offer. Motion carried 7-1. It was agreed that the Village maintenance staff might be available to help plow the rink on a "last priority basis"., depending on the judgment of the Park and Recreation Director. E. Communication from Olympic Hills Golf Club offering the course to the Village for municipal course. Jessen stated that the Village had been con- tacted by the Olympic Hills Golf Club to -see if there was an interest on our part in purchasing this course for a municipal golf facility. The Council will be considering this offer-formally at the Couhigil meeting on November 27th, and the possibility of studying the desirability of the course might be referred back to the Park and Recreation Commission at a subsequent meeting. No action required. , ' III. RECOMMENDATIONS AND REPORTS. A. Agency Liaison Reports. None. B. Snowmobile Trail Plan Report. Jessen reported that he had sent a letter to the Metropolitan Airports Commission requesting their consideration in granting an easement for this purpose across their land. The request will be considered by the Commission on December 3. No action required. `- C. -1974 LAWCON Application Status Report. Jessen reported that the Physical Development Committee of the Metropolitan Council had approved a priority schedule for local park projects, which placed Staring Lake in 9th priority apd as such, this means that the likelihood of funding from the 1974 monies Is extremely limited. The Metropolitan Council will be considering both the local and regional park projects and the priority and funding programs at their meeting on November 29th. No action required. D. Development Proposals: 1 . Gelco Corporation. Enger reported that Gelco Corporation has hired Charles Wood as the landscape architect to develop the final site details for this area. He recommended approval of the project subject to the following considerations: a. .A full line of control between the wildlife area and the man area must be developed . The standard for this separation must produce the same effect as an 8' cyclone fence. i b. The recommended control or fence line should occur at the northern edge of the vegetation surrounding the lake. Also, the clearing and modification of vegetation between the fence line and the lake should be worked out with the Village Staff using the guidelines of the Park and Recreation Commission and Council as developed in the Ubture Center concept for the Anderson Lakes Park area. Any clearing or modification of the vegetation must be consistent with the wildlife management or plan for the area. Page 4 Eden Prairie Park & Recreation Commission Minutes November 26, 1973 c. The meadow on the site is of great visual significance, both to the lake and the woodland, and it is important in the ecological balance of the area. The amount of "manicured lawn" in this area should be limited to 10% of the total meadow area. d. As with McAllister.Properties, the problem of aquifer recharge - should be considered. Storm water runoff vs. the amount of perco- lation should be computed in the proportions• that exist on the site today and should be maintained as development occurs. e. -Landscaping of the small pond in front of the site as well as additional-plant materials needed to surround the building should be consistent with the natural setting. Blacklock suggested the following additions to the 5 recommendations of the staff: a. The number of trees to be cut in the woods to make room for the parking and access roads must be minimized to the greatest extent possible. b. No lease-car parking will be allowed on the site except on a temporary basis (one week or less) and then no more than five cars to be parked. c. Any building expansion will have to be accommodated without a ' increasing the amount of surface parking or tree removal. d. The tinted glass on the exterior of the building should be selected so that it will blend with the natural character of the site. M/Berkland,' S/Blacklock that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend to the Planning Commission and the Council the approval of the Gelco development proposal consistent with the nine recommendations cited above. Motion carried 8-1. Dick Anderson arrived at this time. 2. Kingdale Kennels. jessen reviewed quickly the parameters within which the bluff protection program ought to be considered, as developed by the Staff. He stated that the bluff area of Eden Prairie could be divided into three rather distinct segments. The eastern segment, where the present estate development exists; the central area, bounded roughly by where Riverview Road and 169 meet on the west side and where Riverview Road runs up to the top of the bluff on the east side; and the western area through which 169 divides the flood plain land from the bluffs themselves. In analyzing the three segments, it's clear that most of the land in the central area is already committed for public open space through the two i Page 5 Eden Prairie Park & Recreation Commission Minutes November 26, 1973 large P.U.D.'s proposed for the area. One is the Waste Management P.U.D. and the other is the total Hustad development. This leaves an area of approximately 35-40 acres between 169 and Riverview Road that is not protected through Planned Unit Development proposals. The estimated. cost of acquiring this land would be something in the neighborhood of $100,000.. _. :.... _.. . _.. Garens stated that he would rather see the Village spend $100,060 bn other projects. Mike Scherer indicated that he-felt citizen reaction. would be opposed to spending money for this acquisition at this point. He stated that he thought the Village had tovrecognize.that.they could , _ not own all the "pretty land" in the community c"nd that when the-Village can't afford recreational facilities but can afford all these land acquisition efforts, the citizens will react by saying that they want development of the recreational facilities for their children today. Blacklock responded by saying that this was part of a larger overall plan for the entire Minnesota River Valley protection and, as such, deserves very careful consideration by the Commission. Anderson stated that he favors protection of this area because of the high amenities - provided by the bluffs to the river and the open space that would be pro tected there. Holasek asked if the Village could afford this acquisition of approxi- mately $40,000 right at this time. lessen responded that after all of the commitments made on the Park Bond Fund were expended, we would probably not have enough money to purchase this outright. Erickson suggested that in light of this .we ought to compromise here on the ' river just as we had to compromise our ideal plan for the Anderson - .. , .. Lakes area. - -- - --- M/Anderson, S/Enblom that the Commission recommend to the Council and Planning Commission that we continue to hold to our open space concept and recommend denial of this proposal. This motion was defeated by a vote of 6-3 . Anderson stated that he felt the Village could-not.in good conscience approve this project at this time as we need. additional time to investigate options for purchase. The Staff has not had time to do all of the work necessary on this particular project. Boerger stated that this is because of limited manpower available to work on all of these projects presently before the Village. lessen suggested that the Commission might approve the development of the area for Kingdale Kennels subject to the Village's not being able to secure funding from the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District by January 1 ,. 1974, to acquire this site. He stated that the watershed district has sent out a letter soliciting applications for cooperative projects in the watershed, and that this particular project might be Page 6 Eden Prairie Park & Recreation Commission Minutes November 26, 1973 " funded, although there had been no discussion with the watershed district on this particular parcel to this time. M/Garens, S/Enblom that the Village approach' the watershed district for 10051 funding for the .112 acres under consideration and that we further solicit funding for the additional 24-"acres,involved in this central section of.the. bluffs..' .Motion carried unanimously, Berkland,' Holasek,,end Boerger abstainin : .lessen"will call the watershed district's' attorney.on November 27 h to find out:when the next meetin -- _ - - is to be=held and re est that he be put on the-agenda to discuss this item and will then notify the corrimi-asioners..as•to..the result. . Boerger._:'suggested +; an immediate'written communiciation with both the - watershed district and Brill to this effect so that everyone understands. the Village's position. Paul Enblom left the meeting'at this time. 3. Edenvale South revised P.U.D. plan. Jessen reviewed the ' family part of this development at this time and indicated ed areas where other types of development might occur. He suggested that the Commission recommend approval of the project subject to the followi Crecommendations: ng I . That an easement to the public for the use of the in the paths to.be_constructed private open space areas be granted to the Village. - •• 1 2. The 11.54 acres just eapt of -the site presently owned by the Eden Prairie School District be dedicated to the Village to create a school/park complex. M/Holasek, S/Fields that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend approval of the Edenvale South revised P.U.D. to the Planning Commission and Council subject to the recommendations of the Staff. Motion carried unanimously. 4. Browning Ferriss industries P.U.D. Jessen reviewed the maps submitted by the Browning Ferriss people, indicating the placement of the overlook drive and the industrial development north of that drive. All of the land south of the overlook to. the river-will be dedicated to the Village for public open space use The plan calls for oiitd.00r storage of garbage-- ==trucks and mainte,nance'facilities'for th - at operertion. .-. - M/Boerger,. S/Blacklock that the Park and Recreation Commission recom— mend to the Planning Commission and the Council approval of the Browning Ferriss P. U.D. concept plan with a suggestion that indoor storage of all Cof the trucks be accommodated on the site and that the storage shed exterior be compatible with the office building exterior-and subject to final road adjustment. Motion carried unanimouly. J Page 7 Eden Prairie Park & Recreation Commission Minutes November 26, 1973 E. Smetana Lake Sector Study. This item was tabled until a later meeting. F. Crosstown Highway Extension - Shady Oak Road to 494. Jensen reviewed the realignment of the Crosstown north .of the Eden Prairie' border in Minnetonka as submitted'*by the Hennepin County"Dept, -of Public Works. He stated that .Chris .Enger; Dick°._Putnam, -and Carl Jullie and-himself would be reviewing 'this proposal and writing a . - "mini-Environmental Impact Statement"—to analyze the project and a report would be made'at the nexf`trieetificy. _ Anderson:suggested that--the Villarr.e require that;he.County make. any.: . _ - trees,' shrubs, or roots,etc1�on tfie right of way`=-available to the public prior to their going in and bulldozing-the trees over and burning them. No action required. . IV. ADJOURNMENT. M/Fields, S/Blacklock that the meeting be adjourned. Motion carried unanimously. J
