however, the Eden Prairie clubs did not win the contest. She presented a cap from
the Mayor of Chanhassen for Mayor Tyra-Lukens to wear during tonight's
meeting since Eden Prairie did not win the contest.
V. APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND OTHER ITEMS OF BUSINESS
Getschow said Item VIILM should be removed from the agenda as the Heritage
Preservation Commission needs to act on the Certificate of Appropriateness before the
contract is awarded. He noted the language in the agreement with Verizon in Item VIILC
has been changed from the version included in the Council packet in order to give the City
a little more control over the use of the tower. Nelson added Item XIV.A.1. Case added
Item XIV.A.2.

IX. PUBLIC HEARINGS/MEETINGS
A. COMFORT INN EDEN PRAIRIE by Michael Monn Architects. Request for
Site Plan review on 3.20 acres. Location: 7740 Flying Cloud Drive. (Resolution
No. 2015-82 for Site Plan Review)
Getschow said the applicant plans to update the exterior facade of the building to
align itself with the Comfort Inn Brand. This update will include: removal of the
existing mansard-like panel around the perimeter of the building; update of the
color scheme to the current brand standard; the addition of cornices at the roof
line; and an update of the porte cochere to match the revised building finishes.
The exterior building material will continue to meet exterior building material
code. He noted in 1985 the Planning Commission and Council reviewed and
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
August 18, 2015
Page 5
approved a 124 room, three-story hotel on this site. The Planning Commission
voted 6-0 to recommend approval of this project at the July 13, 2015, meeting.
Michael Morin, architect, reviewed the project plans. He noted the hotel was built
as a Hampton Inn in 1986, and it still has that look. They plan to take off the
metal mansard roof, square off the rounded corners at the top of the pilasters,
redo the color, and add a cornice at the top of the building.
Case asked staff what it is about the proposal that triggers this review. Klima said
at the time the application was reviewed in 1985 there was significant discussion
about this being a key area for visual impact in the City.
Butcher Wickstrom was very pleased with this project. At the workshop tonight
the Council talked about our goal to have a sort of timelessness in the community.
She believed this project helps achieve that goal with their plan to update the
building.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Nelson moved, seconded by Butcher Wickstrom, to close the public
hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 2015-82 for Site Plan Review on 3.20 acres.
Motion carried 5-0.
B. WAND CORPORATION by Wand Corporation. Request for Planned Unit
Development District review with waivers on 2.88 acres; Zoning District
amendment within the I-2 Industrial Park Zoning District on 2.88 acres. Location:
7575 Corporate Way. (Ordinance for PUD District review with waivers and
Zoning District amendment)
Getschow said WAND Corporation currently has its headquarters located in the
building at 7605 Corporate Way. WAND is proposing to retain that facility for
warehouse purposes and to move its headquarters to 7575 Corporate Way. The
property at 7575 Corporate Way is zoned Industrial Park I-2, which allows office
uses up to 50%. The property received a variance in 1982 to allow 77% office
use. The applicant is requesting a Planned Unit Development waiver to allow the
building at 7575 Corporate Way to be used as 100% office. There was
considerable discussion about parking and the waiver for office that allowed the
waiver to be transferable to a future user provided the future user can demonstrate
that the site meets their parking needs with the amount of parking on site at the
time of transfer. He said the second waiver is a waiver to exceed the amount of
impervious surface within a shoreland area. The parking already constructed on
the site exceeds the 30% requirement; therefore it is an existing condition. The
Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the project at the July
27, 2015 meeting.
Dave Perrill, President of WAND Corporation, reviewed the history of their
corporation in Eden Prairie. They have projected considerable growth in their five
year plan, and they need to expand their facilities. He said they do have the ability
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
August 18, 2015
Page 6
to park their employees along with their growth, and they want to make the
parking transferable for a subsequent user with similar parking needs.
Tyra-Lukens commented she sees so much parking that it seems almost
dangerous on Corporate Way when she drives down that street. She asked if the
WAND employees are parking on the street. Mr. Perrill replied there are already
cars parked on the street when he arrives early at the office before his employees
arrive; however, this project will provide more parking spots for their employees
in case some are parking on the street now.
Tyra-Lukens asked if the change to Office use is temporary and if it would return
to Industrial use if WAND were to move out. Klima said the waiver will allow the
parking to be transferable, and the zoning is expected to remain in place to allow
the Office use in an Industrial zone.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Aho, to close the public hearing; to
approve 1 st reading of the ordinance for Planned Unit Development District
review with waivers, and Zoning District review within the Industrial Park I-2
Zoning District on 2.88 acres; and to direct staff to prepare a development
agreement incorporating staff and commission recommendations and Council
conditions. Motion carried 5-0.
Tyra-Lukens asked staff to look into the parking issue on Corporate Way.
Getschow replied staff has been aware of that issue and will keep looking at it.
C. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE
CHAPTER 11 RELATING TO TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
TOD
Getschow said the City received a grant to fund some research of a potential Transit
Oriented Development(TOD) ordinance. Tonight staff is bringing forward a draft
ordinance for first reading tonight.
Klima gave a PowerPoint reviewing the draft TOD ordinance. She said the
Southwest Green Line LRT prompted the conversation regarding the TOD. The
recent changes to the LRT line will be part of the municipal consent plan to be
reviewed by the Council in September. Hennepin County collaborated with all the
communities along the Southwest LRT line to develop the Investment Framework.
The Investment Framework identified the ten-minute walkshed for the individual
LRT stations. She noted the request this evening is for approval of the ordinance
only and does not address the Comprehensive Guide Plan nor does it map the
rezoning of parcels. The TOD gets to the physical form of development around the
stations. She reviewed the ten-mile walkshed areas around the LRT stations
proposed in Eden Prairie. She also reviewed the extensive stakeholder outreach
done for the TOD ordinance. The proposed ordinance includes three TOD
subdistricts: the TOD-Mixed Use (TOD-MU) subdistrict which encourages high-

August 18, 2015
Page 7
density, mixed-use and pedestrian-oriented development; the TOD-Residential
(TOD-R) subdistrict which allows for moderate-to high-density residential
development with limited ground floor services; and the TOD-Employment(TOD-
E) subdistrict which allows for moderate-to high-density office and light industrial
development with limited retail services.
Klima said the TOD building standards are very similar to the design standards for
the Town Center area with buildings moved closer to the street and provisions for
structured parking or parking in the back of the buildings. There are some updated
standards for open space and landscaping that allow credit for perennials, planters
and items such as green roofs and pervious surfaces. She said the provision for
bicycle parking is unique to the TOD areas.
Klima reviewed the next steps that will follow action on the TOD ordinance
tonight. Stakeholders have expressed concern about creating non-conformities
within the proposed changes to zoning districts, and there will be multiple
opportunities to address that in the future. She noted staff has discussed coming
forward with language that would identify different categories of improvements that
might be reviewed administratively or that would come straight to the City Council.
She noted other chapters of the City code may need to be tweaked in order to
provide for any inconsistencies.
Aho asked how this code change would impact some of the new buildings in the
TOD area such as Windsor Plaza and United Health Group. Klima replied if an
existing development were proposed for re-guiding and rezoning to TOD, the first
analysis would be to identify areas of the existing development that do not meet the
TOD requirements. The new requirements would not trigger the non-conforming
law unless or until they expand or enlarge their structure, at which time the
developer could come in with PUD amendments to address the waivers.
Nelson asked if we can be assured that we are not talking about signs that would be
a lot larger than our current sign ordinance. Klima replied our signage requirements
are based on zones and the TOD is not currently listed as a zone with specific
requirements. Staff would expect to go back in the code to identify characteristics
of the sign ordinance requirements for the Town Center and TOD areas. There
would be an opportunity for the Council to review and comment on that in the
future.
Tyra-Lukens asked if they would be considering a possible TOD for Southwest
Transit if we weren't doing the Southwest LRT. Klima said the TOD ordinance is
intended to support the infrastructure around mass transit, so it could be applied to
Southwest Station.
Tyra-Lukens asked Ms Klima to address the bike parking requirements. She
commented we do want to encourage biking so we should not make the
requirements too conservative, but she was not sure what would be a reasonable
amount. Klima said what is proposed in the code now talks about a minimum
amount of biking parking spaces and an additional number based on the gross floor
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
August 18, 2015
Page 8
area of a property. Staff felt that might be too aggressive in the amount of bike
parking, so they refined the language to provide an opportunity to provide proof of
parking for bikes as well as the opportunity to come back and address things that
aren't necessarily working the way they should.
Tyra-Lukens asked how the formula provided for the TOD-Mixed Use development
would be implemented with multiple users. Klima said the calculation would be
based on what the specific uses are in the building, and they would come to a
cumulative total required for the site. In a multi-tenant facility they can work
collaboratively to provide a shared biking area. Tyra-Lukens asked how a restaurant
would mesh patio dining with bike parking. Klima said staff would work with the
applicant through the PUD process because any development within the TOD
would require PUD review.
Tyra-Lukens asked how we would encourage walkers, outdoor dining, trees and
landscaping if we pull the buildings closer to the street. Klima said the set-back
requirements are specific to each TOD subdistrict. There are maximums set that
could be increased to accommodate something like outdoor dining.
Tyra-Lukens asked if there is no provision included for public art. Klima said that
was correct, and staff is continuing to work on an effective way to address that
subject City-wide. Tyra-Lukens asked if the Mixed Use TOD has requirements for
public space or green space around the building. Klima said there are four or five
different types of areas that could be provided and are intended to provide access
for the tenants as well as access for pedestrians.
Tyra-Lukens asked what would happen if we did not do a TOD ordinance, and what
is in the ordinance for us as a City because it seems like we may be creating a lot
more value in that land. Klima said the TOD ordinance creates an opportunity for
the City to influence the physical form of development in that area. Infrastructure
improvements will cause property values to rise. Developers will see that and
maximize the highest and best use of their properties. With the TOD ordinance the
City of Eden Prairie can guide that development rather than being reactionary.
Nelson expressed concern that children would be discouraged in areas zoned high
density residential that have no park facilities near them. Klima replied there is a
provision for four or five different types of open space, one of which includes a
play area for children.
Tyra-Lukens was concerned that we consider the ramifications to the School
District of applying the TOD zones, particularly in the Golden Triangle area. Klima
said staff would propose language for the Comprehensive Plan that identifies the
character of each of the different station areas.
Bill Griffith, representing Evine Live on Shady Oak Road, said it becomes difficult
to apply the TOD ordinance to a built environment. There is not much development
greater than one or two stories in the Golden Triangle area. He believed the critical
thing for those property owners is the transition of that area. He asked if the City is
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
August 18, 2015

analyzing the impact of TOD regulations on existing buildings because he believed
an investor may look elsewhere when they see the possibility of a six-month
process to determine if a use is non-conforming. He noted there are ways to address
those concerns and offered his company's help with that.
MOTION: Butcher Wickstrom moved, seconded by Nelson, to close the public
hearing; to approve 1 st reading of the Transit Oriented Development Ordinance;
and to direct staff to begin preparing associated amendments to the other sections
of Chapter 11 including the Town Center Ordinance, Site Plan and Architectural
Design Review Ordinance, and Planned Unit Development Ordinance.
Aho said it was important that our actions don't have any unintended
consequences that would inhibit people from investing in our community because
the whole purpose for the ordinance is to encourage people to invest here. He
asked staff to work with stakeholders to make sure disinvestment doesn't happen.
Tyra-Lukens said she would like to see some space between first and second
reading to make sure most of the questions are answered. Rosow said the passage
of this ordinance impacts no property unless other steps are taken. There is no
property zoned TOD-Industrial or any other TOD subdistrict. The next step would
be amending the Comprehensive Plan to identify the kinds of things that have
been discussed and to hear from members of the public and property owners. The
amendment of the Comprehensive Plan would not affect any particular parcel
because those have not yet been zoned. The zoning map process is where the
Council will have the one on one conversations with individual property owners
about the impact on the property. There will be multiple opportunities to address
all of the questions raised, and staff has gone about this in a methodical manner to
give those opportunities. Tyra-Lukens asked if it is unusual not to amend the
zoning until the property comes forward. Rosow replied many communities pre-
zone, but Eden Prairie does not do that. It may take a little time for zoning to be
put in place, but there will be plenty of opportunities for the property owners to
come forward and discuss the impact with the Council.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried 5-0.
D. VACATION OF PUBLIC DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENTS OVER
LOT 1, BLOCK 1, FIVE MITCHELL CROSSING(RESOLUTION NO. 2015-
83
Getschow said the owners of the Martin Blu apartments have requested the vacation
of a portion of the public drainage and utility easements to accommodate the
construction of a sign at the intersection of Mitchell Road and Martin Drive. The
public drainage and utility easement areas to be vacated were originally dedicated
with the plat of Five Mitchell Crossing. The sign will be removable from the posts
to allow use of all the remaining easements.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
August 18, 2015
Page 10
Tyra-Lukens asked if the size and number of the signs would be the same.
Getschow said he understood the signage is entirely within what was approved for
their development.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Nelson, to close the public hearing and to
adopt Resolution No. 2015-83 vacating a portion of the public drainage and utility
easements over Lot 1, Block 1, Five Mitchell Crossing. Motion carried 5-0.
X. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS
MOTION: Butcher Wickstrom moved, seconded by Case, to approve the payment of
claims as submitted. Motion was approved on a roll call vote,with Aho,Butcher
Wickstrom, Case, Nelson and Tyra-Lukens voting "aye."

A. REPORTS OF COUNCIL MEMBERS
1. League of Women Voters Candidate Fair--Council Member Nelson
Nelson said she learned the League of Women Voters will have a School
Candidate Fair at the Eden Prairie Library on Thursday October 1 from 6:00
to 7:15 P.M. She was concerned that they are not holding a televised
Candidate Forum in the Council Chamber because the City would charge
them the top tier rate to do so. She asked staff to look into allowing televised
candidate forums specific to Eden Prairie in this room so that, in the future,
they would just pay for the technician. Getschow replied staff could check
into that, but he was somewhat puzzled why a non-profit agency would have
the top tier quoted for such a City event.
2. CDBG Funding for Smaller Organizations--Council Member Case
Case said he was concerned about how we incentivize smaller community
service organizations with CDBG and other governmental funding. He
asked if staff could bring back a report on what funds are currently used for
Somali interests and concerns, which groups are receiving funds, and which
groups have requested funds but have not received them. The other Council
Members concurred with his request for a staff report.

B. REPORT OF CITY MANAGER
C. REPORT OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
1. Crossroads Center Request to Revise Proiect Elevations
Klima said in July Crossroads Center requested PUD approval for their
plans to update their property. When the property owners put the project out
for bid, the bids were in excess of the original cost estimates. The property
owners then approached staff about revising the plan to eliminate the raised
parapets in order to lower the cost.
Tyra-Lukens said the original approved plan was very attractive, and she
appreciated that proponent was willing to work with the City. She asked for
a review of how this request is different from the current look. Klima said
the property has brick columns on the front, and the applicant had planned
to add a parapet and canopies. Tyra-Lukens asked if the landscaping has
changed. Klima replied the only change is the removal of the parapet.
Nelson asked if the awnings and the updated look will remain. Klima said it
will. Nelson asked if the planter boxes in front of the units will remain. The
proponent said they will remain.
Aho asked about the distance between the vertical column segments. Scott
Nelson, DJR Architects, replied the space is a little over 60 feet between the
brick sections. He noted there is a lot of slope to the site so there is a step up
between each section. Aho said he liked the design of the parapets, but felt
the updated design is more attractive than the current structure.
Case was concerned about the line the Council has regarding the amount of
control we have on the redesign of a project. He did not want to get to the
point that we mandate an extensive project that people can't do. Tyra-
Lukens said staff brought this to us because we don't like to be in a situation
where something has been improved and we don't like the result. Case said
this is not a redevelopment, and he did not think it has to be done in a public
forum. Tyra-Lukens felt this is a fairly significant change. She did want the
Council to be informed about the change but did not want the property
owner to go through the whole approval process.
Getschow said there was an initial approval of this project and that agreed
upon standard is being altered. Rosow said the project came to the Council
in July because there was a development agreement that said the property
was to be developed with the plans the Council approved. To go from how it
was approved to where they wanted to change it required a change to the
PUD. Now that they want to change it again, staff made the process more
user friendly by bringing it directly to the City Council. Nelson said she
wanted to clarify that we do want this kind of thing coming back and that
should continue.

Butcher Wickstrom believed this change is apropos to the input that the
Council has in creating and modifying the standards. It is an implied
example of compiling all the thoughts we have and our interpretation of how
we go forward with the PUD.

plans. Motion carried 5-0.
