Background: The use of the approximately 200 acres, termed the Edenvale South P.U.D. , has undergone changes in land use concept over the past 35 years. In the '50s and early '60s , Eden Prairie's zoning plan showed a strip along 169 being used for dommercial development, consistent with strip zoning practices of the day, and-the remainder of the site as single family, or rural. The advent of the Guide Plan in 1968 eliminated the strip commercial zoning along '169 and indicated the need for an elementary school and park facility located in the area. Likewise, a proposal was made for an EastJvVest Parkway or arterial street connecting Co. Rd. IS with ZI2 and T.H. S and north - to the Crosstown. The Guide Plan indicated that road would form a boundary for the Intense development of the Major Center- Area, having High,, vay Commercial and Multiple north buffering the Major Center . The Guide Plan was accorapanied with Zoning Ordinance No. 135 , which is our current ordinance today. Since 19 53 , many things have changed in the areas affecting the Edenvale South P. U.D. The Vocational Technical School was con-- structed just south of this site , providizzg a regional educational Page 2 Planning Staff k<eport -- Edenvale South facility administered through Hennepin County. The East/ Vest Parkway alignment was moved south from the conceptual location in the Guide Plan to approximately bisect the Edenvale South site, running east/west and intersecting 169 approximately 300 ft. north of the existing Research Road intersection.' A large planned unit development, The Preserve, of over 1 ,000 acres was approved in 1970, which incorporated a range of uses from single family detached homes to a regional shopping center. An important element in The Preserve concept was the focus upon the Neill Lake center, a short distance east along the EastAllest Parkway from " : l Edenvale South as arieighlvgi�od'focus, consistent with the goals and objectives of the`community centers outlined in the Comprehensive Guide Plan.. The center includes an elementary school site, which,is being . dedicated to the School District and the Village for a school/park development. A more recent planning effort, the M.C.A./ P.U'.D_ , more closely defines the Maior Center Area outlined on the Comprehensive Guide Plan and specifies intensities and uses within this area as well as a project boundary. The Edenvale South _P.U.D. is not a part of the M.C.A. but is affected through such systems as transportation, drainage through Lake Edenvale, and employment/housing demand. Planning is currently underway with the School District to investi- gate possibilities- of acquiring a secondary school campus and community center site across 169. These refinements of the original Comprehensive Guide Plan engineering and highway planning work have influenced the Edenvale P.U•. D. and shaped rnany of the land use proposals currently before the Village for consideration B. P.U.D. Concept: I believe it's important in approving a planned unit development to think of the basic intents of the process . :It is apparent in our work with the planned unit development approach in Eden :- Prairie,that it is a method of coping with changing conditions, which are inherent in any community's development process . It a process which utilizes specific ordinances and standards to achieve the more important goal of producing an excellent finished environ-- meat. As utilized, the P. U. D. procedures within Ordinance No . 135 are not viewed as a means of circumventing existing ordinances related to setbacks or subdivision standards , but rather As utilized as a flexible means of placing proper development on a site without the constraints of artificial standards that may not apply. P.U,D, approval, as indicated on the official Village zoning rhap, _ as a zoned district, P. U.D. with the number corresponding , is in. effect a legal contract between the land owner and the municipality which states specific conditions which each must fulfill, - . . RESOLUTION NO. 810 ENTIBIT A. P. = Page 3 Planning Staff .Report - Eden-vale South These conditions take the form of time limits, density ranges, site improvements, open space contributions, and various land use types. £denvale South P.U.D. will. be a- unique planned unit development when compared to the large 'reserve or Edenvale.developments. .Edenvale South is of limited size and, hence, limited functions . it must rely upon external systems, such as roads, open space, commercial services,-etc. Consequently, it is rather a piece of the pie of the entire Preserve-Bluffs Sector. - I believe that the conceptual land use plan approval should deal with specific areas in their acreage, ownership, and committed use. Likewise, discussion of development type anticipated (3-story apartment,- townhouse, single family detached) should be specified in the plan. A range in densities would be inherent 3n any statement of development type, but that specific numbers of units would not be assigned to individual parcels. Likewise- commitments to development of private and public open spaces, " road systems, and other engineering concerns must be considered. The land uses and building types approved 1n the P. U.D. plan r:aay be modified if the change of conditions, agreed upon by both parties, are based upon sound planning, engineering, economic, or social criteria. P.U.D. procedures and approvals must meet_ the changing ' conditions inherent in community development. 2 . Sector Planning: Since there are major land owners and previously approved P.U,D. `s in ,The Preserve Sector, 'the Planning Commission asked that the land owners get together with the Village staff and propose a land use/transportation plan for the entire Preserve Sector area. Edenvale South was one of the large land holdings proposed. The plan was submitted as the Bluff Sector Study,- which indicated the land owner and developer'.s wishes as to type of development and densities proposed. Based upon the Bluffs Sector proposal, traffic analysis work by HNTB is proceeding Tvhich will indicate the feasibility of the road systems - proposed and as they're influenced by the land use densities. ' This analysis indicates some discrepancy between the overall units proposed, the road system anticipated, and th'_- ability to handle the traffic. . Other planning efforts that influenced the Bluff Sector are currently underway. They are: a. Open space system planning for Purgatory Creek , being done in cooperation with the watershed district and the Village Park '& Recreation Commission . Study being done by Brauer & Associates. b. The Village and School District are currently studying the feasibility of a secondary high school site and community center p.a.�Fnr7 .�To�r e,f 79Q . . .

Plan Elements; - a . Natural-Features; The natural features of the Edenvale South site can be classified in three distinct categories . One is the lowland area adjacent to Lake Eden in the Neill Lake chain which connects to Purgatory Creek. The second aze the upland ponds which currently help _ drain the area: -The third area.is rolling upland in the southeast and north with some forest cover but predominantly open pasture 'land. The proposed plan respects the majority of the lowland areas in Group 3 as well as the upland ponds by maintaining them as private or public open space. There is some encroachment south of the''- Parkway along Willow Court requiring filling for some lots and the - road• on the east side of that 6 acre open space . The upland ponds in the M-2 sites will most certainly be retained as amenity and. drainage areas, It is not shovrn on the plan but would most certainly be an element of the development stage application, RESOLUTION NO. O l u EXHIBIT A, P Page 5 Planning Staff Report - Edersvale South • The majority of the upland area is devoted to single family lots which would average out slightly, smaller than the- 33 .5 minimum. Some of these streets will encounter some grade problemand require cutting and filling to make home sites usable. This becomes extremely critical in the three northern cul-de-sacs which are located in wooded areas . Great care in the final engineering grades and utility/n.ome construction will be'required to preserve the existing vegetation. The basic site planning techniques do respect the physical features of the land through siting proper development types as well as maintaining significant open spaces on slopes, lowland*drainage areas, and in wooded areas to protect buffer zones. The open space system is divided into two distinct but complementing types. The private open space is predominantly iriternal to the development areas and provides circulation and amenity space for the future residents. Most of the single family-Tots and all of the multiple sites have pedestrian connections which would lead them to the future school site/public open space areas via these routes. It is assumed that the public has a' right to use these open space syste-ms for walkway purposes and that acceptable hard surfaced . walkways will be installed by the developer, concurrent with development, to make these systems workable. The second open space system proposed is the public dedication of approximately 20% of the total project area. Much of this land vAll be used for drainage purposes, not for just this project but the entire drainage area, which includes part of the M.C .A. The lake storage -area has been indicated on the Village drainage plan, and the inclusion in this proposal.is consistent with Barr Engineering's drainage study of the area. The use of the public open space, particularly around' ]Lake Edenvale, will be of a more-passive nature with some natural areas to be preserved. The use of the public open space south of the East/%ATest Parkway is not determined, but this area. widens out to permit significant open field game spaces and some park develop- . ment if required. The outlot of 112 acres is not depicted in the open space system. plan ' but mould seem a logical use for that property in that it is bounded by the Preserve North/South Parkway and the East,/ e* st Parkway, and to the north and east the school and Lake Edenvale site . The Icv-r, poor soil character of this outlot seems well suited to open space develop- ment. The inclusion of this outlot iri the open space calculations would compr.ice approximately 1/3 of the total public open space of this project. Much of the success of retaining the natural features on this site will be determined through the specific development plan on each of the sites as well as the road/utility construction and individual home- building on the single family areas . The revised plan does alloy for Page 6 Planning Stciff P.oport - Edenvale South more flexihi.lity in developing the multiple sites and produces interesting lots utilizing the sloping ch:!racter of the site . b .

The two multiple sites have extremely different characters, both enjoying high quality access for major arterial streets.

Their cost will most certainly be above moderate income capabilities unless subsidized in some fashion.

Though the* Iots are smaller than the .-Onmal 13 ,500 square footage, it is . ;� BS:SOLU'U[ON NO. 810 EXMBfT A, P. 4 Page 7 Planning Staff Report - Edenvale South compensated for by tae open space systems . The income rancres would not be open to to%v ar_d moderate income families within these single family areas without some form of subsidy. Within some of the m2 sites or ml areas , there may be an oppor- tunity to develop some housing of a moderate to 1'ow price range, _ particularly along Hwy. 169, due to its close relationship with the Vo-Tec school and a potential junior college. The Edenvale South project is adjacent to an approved 236 project in the Preserve, Windslope, which would provide 168 low ; moderate, 'rid- market rate apart ment•units. This project has not been funded nor approved by F.H.A . to date. To.be consistent with the recommendations of the Housing Task Force Report, the developers of; ,.pnvale South P.U.D. should be required to provide units affordable by most economic levels_ This will entail an affirmative program to produce housing units utilizing governmental programs or through private sector by constructing lower priced housing units _ Approximately 50% of the total units in the Edenvale South site are of an apartment or condominium type, as currently proposed. Without an affirmative program to produce a wide spectrum of unit costs, this relationship may not be valid. Eden Land Corporation should.give detailed study to providing units open to low and moderate income individuals within the 10-15% total of all units in the P.U.D. _ c. Community Facilities; The residents in the Edenvale South site have proximity to mangy community facilities,, which include;the Major Center Area with all its commercial, cultural services; the Preserve Center which will include schools, churches, and neighborhood shopping as well as recreation; also the proposed secondary community center/high school site west of 169 and the potential junior college and existing Vo-Tec School are nearby. Likewise, the School District owns a site of 11 . 26 'acres located adjacent to the East/West Parkway. Many open space systems for active recreation as well as natural wildlife habitat eyist in close proximity. There is little question that the residents of the Edenvale South area will have an abundance of community facilities at hand . Due to the private open space systems and Edenvale South relationship to the Preserve, it is imperative that a viable homeowner's association; for the entire P. U. D. be organized that t-will administer the rr:ain_tenar,ce of the open space systems and also function as an input group to work with other homeowner associations in the Village regarding common problems and implementing community programs . d . Transportation: A traffic analysis of the entire Preserve/Bluff Sector is being conducted by HNTS, which indicates the densities of development throughout the entire sector seem to be over what the existing and proposed road -system can handle, if current transportation patterns continue. The land owners Page 8 Planning Staff Report - Edenval.e South in the area and the Village staff are currently discussing octions involving reducing land use densities , designing additional road systems , or providing alternate transportation systems for the developing areas . Of course, portions of each alternate may be utilized in the final solution . However, an interesting concept . is being considered. just as public open space is dedicated with each development or dollars in lieu of open space. and roads are built to serve each project, to incorporate transit planning and implementation through contributions ..- -as development occurs, recognizing the changing travel characteristics of cvgU"Fog'anerations . The energy shortages experienced today are Preciicted to be commonplace in the future and that transportation luxuries which we have enjoyed over the past decades will be changes Working closely with the MTC , development in the Major Center Area and highway departments. I believe,iris possible to achieve positive transit proposals which will have a definite impact upon the overall transportation system within Eden Prairie which responds to major metropolitan shifts . Preliminary $naIysis b'yy. Howard, Needles,. Tammen & Bergendoff indicates*that perhaps a north/south arterial maybe needed, connectint, with the Preserve north/south road to the Major Center. This wo- n alter the Edenval- S:)!jffi. plan as, it exists today. Likewise, a design of 'the East%West Parkway as a four land divided roadway would, not be altered . Therefore, for approval of the single family and conceptual land uses in the Edenvale South proposal, the specific road alterna-- tives do not affect this area. The road designs for the local streets should conform with all engineering standards. and will be constructed by the developer. 4 Evaluation of Revised Plan, dated September 25 , 1973 A. Single Familv R1-73 9 acres, 192 units proposed; . The configuration of the single family area has undergone numerous changes during the planning process . Realignment bf streets, extensic of single family areas into previous multiple proposals, and redesign to accommodate connection with other land developments were made. . The lots offered will vary- from wooded lots on cul- de=sac streets to . hillside walkout lots fronting onto major open space. - Almost all of the lots have direct access to pedestrian open_ space systems which provides for surfaced walkways,. -streets connecting with the school and public areas Those lots that are not directly accessible to walkways should h"ave' -"sidewalks along streets or easement pathways from the end of cul-de-sacs ::o existing s-r.sten-L PIE,SOLTJTI0\T NO. 810 EXHTBIT A. P. 5 Page 9 Planning Staff Report - Fdenvale South , I\Jany lots within the single family area boC-der- on two streets or to . areas viliich ,will be developed as other uses, such as the 1\.?-2 sites or the neighborhood commercial area. These lots should be of larger depth than the normal lot to accommodate the significant buffer space. Also, the areas bordering the M-2 sites should provide sufficient buffer space and treatment, such as plantings, earth work, etc. , in conjunction with the design of those structures. The size of the lots are normally below the 13 .5 minimum established in Ordinance No . 135 . The density proposed on the development plan is approximately 2 . 6 dwelling units per acre. This compares favorably with other single family developments in the Fr'eY��W and Edenvale in density range. If private open space systems which ire within or surround .the single family areas are added in, the total acreage is approximately 103 acres with 192 units, which produces a density of ] .7 units par acre. 'I believe this indicates that-single family'homes� clustered in a logical fashion, can protect amenity water areas and slopes, without overloading the density of the land: The single family plat seems to be extremely well designed and accommodates the needs for utility and roadway construction. it provides the connection in two areas to properties developing south and should investigate the potential connection of a street to the north off of Summit Court. Prior to preliminary plat approval, dis- cussion with the adjacent owner should indicate the necessity for such a street. Also, in the preliminary plat development, detailed work should be done on some of the lots , such as'those adjacent to the East/West Parkway to assure a significant buffer behveen the units • and street, accomplished with landscaping distance or house placement. B . The M-2 multiple site of 11 .6 acres adjacent to the East/West Parkway and Glen Road_ This site,. indicated at'12 units per acre, varies from an elevation of 854 to .a low of 816 adjacent to Lake Eden and.the small pond adjacent to the school site . The site is dominated by a slope 'ranging from 10-15% to the small,_ pond and Lake Edenvale area. , The actual building site comprises a strip approximately 150-250 ft. wide off of Glen Road. The lowland area of the pond and beneath the slope along Lake. Eden.corn-- prise approximately 22-32 acres of the site . These areas are unbuildable and are ;tieing used as, amenity and density .credit.. The buildable site of approximately 82 acres is being proposed for a three story or less structure, perhaps similar to that of Fairway Woods , located in Edenvale . However, b^cause of the orientation �. to the single family lots along Cottonwood Court and Crestview, the length and scale of the proposed structures should be more in keeping Page 10 Planning Staff Report - Edenvale South with the single family areas . Therefore , the length and size of buildings should not form 200 and 300 ft. long apartment structu- Lik-ewise , tIle view amenity would indicate a single loaded in co,. - trast to a double loaded corridor building orienting north and east rather than to the single family areas west of Glen Road . No number of .units can be ascribed to the site, but the 139 units estimated by Dien Land would be very difficult to construct on this site, given the constraints mentioned. Therefore , dependent upon unit size, specific building design, and site planning, a .: reduced number of units would be possible . _ C. M-2 site south of East/VTest Parkway adjacent to 369 , comprising 13 . 7 acres and 5 .38 acres siicgge sted at 15 units per acre. The. site totals 19 acres land area, excepting the small I acre site of the existing Leonard's big discount gas station, of buildable Land.. Approximately three acres can be exempted where the pond along 169 exists , leaving 16 acresn�Llatively flat, buildable land. A small grove of trees exists just to the north of the pond and the old homestead a.d would most certainly be preserved.During development,access to t, site would be from X69 and perhaps the East/VV'est Parkway. A median break on the East/West Parkway may not be- possible and only in-and-oi access via the westerly lane be considered: . The site was expanded east/west to provide a strip of significant depth for development east of the small pond of appr ximately 400 ft. which would allow parking an building and buffer treatment within a flexible site plan. North of the pond , extending to the East/West Parkway, the site is between 550-600 in depth providing excellent. development potential. The plan indicates that the 5 .3 acre northern sitb .may be used for multiple or neighborhood commercial. if the commercial study indicates a commercial site as necessary in thisarea, inclusion of the_gas statioi site would be required. Also, a design of the neighborhood center tvoulc be integrated with the multiple proposed on the south 13 ac;res. -Either the multiple or commercial development on this site will require great care in the buffer treatment with the single family homes to the east. The density suggested at 15 units per acre cannot be determined at this point! in that a great deal will depend upon the type of unit. P-erhaps . student-oriented housing for a future college or the Vo--Tec would dxc-tate smaller units , square footage-wise, -%Vr th a greater number; however, if family units are constructed , the total units would be reduced ,. The provision of a mix of income range housing within the Ederivale. Soutl project seems likely to occur in the low or moderate range witlain the M-2 site. The Village and Eden Land Corporation should investigate all possible programs to make available low and moderate income units within this site in conjunction with w)r nal r»arket rate tent-_- - pac�; i I Planning Staff Report - Edenvale South The building types vrithin this site may take the form of a three story oc less structure %vith a single loaded or double loaded corridor con— structio.,. The scale of these units should be small to complement the single family located %vest. This % ould mean the reduction of size .from the nornial corridor building in overall lengt;+ and massing•. Design of the units to minimize the noise irnpact from 169 and 212 is also lrnpo,iant to final development of the site. . D. The N-2 or C-Neighborhood site of 4.58 acres located north of the I:ast/West Parkway* zlong 169 . " Pending the recommendations of the commercial study for the Village, this site may be utilized for small scale neighborhood commercial and service site . The limited size and natural boundaries of the pond on the north side and the manmade constraints of the roads and single family lots establish physical contraints upon the size of this - commercial area. The land drops off at an approximately 10o slope to the north with a building pad of approximately 25 Q x 450 ft. iUL-size . The site if used for multiple could have one and possibly two buildings -built orienting north onto the private open space pond. With either multiple or commercial use, the natural buffers wlhich e.�dst on the site of the single family - groves of trees and single trees should be preserved and additional screening and buffering should be prov.ded. To accomplish this, a 20-25 ft. eastment should be included on the plat connecting the 5 .4 acres of private open space around the pond with the small wooded buffer adjacent to the East/ ^Jest- Parkway. This space should be heavily planted and include a walkway connection to the East/West Parkway. •E. M-1 39. 8 acre site located 'south of the East/West Parkway. ' The M-1 site is part of the knoll between the low open space and the 11SP easements, and Neill Lake in the Preserve, The development of this site should be coordinated with the various property owners of the knoll. L&evrise, road access and unit type should be consistent with all owners . The sloping terrain on the Eden Land portion of the site ranges from very flat in the lowlands to M-20% slopes rising over 50 ft. sloping north/south. Siting of hillside units,' either_ of clustered single family- or lover density townhouse, overlooking the Parkway and the open space- systems surrounding shoe!-,' make 0- 1S --,in ideal housing location. Access will be off of the north/south collector street - adjacent to the 5 .9 acre park. The exact location of this road and its relationship to the M-1 site may be changed as detall design proceeds, The number of unit'; per acre indicated at 6.5 Tvill most certainly be high ' unless those units ore of a very small square, footage nature. However, �' given the steeply sloping sites and the heavily wooded character, the page 12 Planning Staff Report - Edenvale South units r,-ill most lively be an expensive category, therefore, :"ith larder Square foollages and pro::lucing *a lower units per acre density Critical to the future development dill be the protection of the r,- r specie trees on the hillside . Therefore, the clustering- of buildings in the existing'open areas or more moderate slopes is advisably. F_ Outlot 17 .54 acres located north of the Parkvyay and east of the schoo,. site . The, outlot- i., <ae Edenvale South plan is not indicated as public opQ:l space or private open space. On the north, the Labe Eden drainage area and the sewer easement are included on the site. The character of the land and the soil types would indicate the use of this property for open space purposes. Also, the isolation of this parcel from other housing/land uses by the East/West Parkway, Lake Edenvale , the school, and the North/South Parkway seem to indicate the usability of this parcel for open space use. - Its connection with the Jake - Edenvale/Neill Lake system and the school make it an excellent area for play field or other uses for the school site . If this outlot of 11 .54 acres is included in the open space systems, approximately 30% of Edenvale South P.U.D. would be in open space purposes. This would correspond with the other P.U.D. 's in the area, Hustad and the Presdrve. - Due to the location of the outlot, it would seem best that this property be in public open space_ rather than p— . atF The use of the property as part of the Lake Edenvale lowland area ..oul� seem most logical and its combination with the lowland of the school site. G., Public Open Space and School Site . A meaningful open space system is developed running north/south s� from the Major Center through Lake Edenvale, the school site , and south along the NSP power easements . The connection with an underpass between the school .site and the 5 .94 acre public park wilL . be installed by Eden Land Corporation to permit grade-separated movement." Looking at the school , East/West Parkway, and public park south, the logical use of the small triarigular•knoll between the pond and the lVI-2 site and the school would be as public open space buffered with the pond to the T/f-Z hillside 'site : -At such time as the' M-2 site is developed. this property from the sewer. easement to the school site could be conveyed to the public after that acreage is used for density credit on the �14-2 'site . ' The lowland park area south of* then EastAVe-st Parkway is the beginning of a lineal open space system that will connect all the way to Purgator; Creek. Muchof this will be left as natural water retention areas w ,!:h some play field development possible. PI;S01, '1'rl7tiT NU. S10 EXHIBIT A , P. 7 pa 13 Planning Staff Report - Edenvale South 5 .

The proposed commercial areas and multiple M-2 site along 369 should be workable given the proximity to a major arterial, U.S. trunk highway, as well as the Vo-Tec school and potential junior college. The impact of the non-conforming use service station on a half-acre parcel upon the neighborhood center proposed or multiple will. be greatly influenced by the specific development at that location. The continuation of the gas station use as currently existing would certainly be changed and relocated on the site.
