IX. PUBLIC HEARINGS/MEETINGS
A. RESOLUTION NO. 2016-83 APPROVING MODIFIED BUDGET FOR TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 14 (EDENVALE TOWNHOME
PROJECT)
Getschow said this item was passed at tonight's HRA meeting but also requires
approval by the City Council.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Butcher Wickstrom moved, seconded by Nelson, to close the Public
Hearing, and to adopt Resolution No. 2016-83 approving the modified budget for
Tax Increment Financing District No. 14 (Edenvale Townhome Project). Motion
carried 4-0.
B. WHITETAIL BLUFF BY PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION. Request for Zoning
District change from Rural to R1-13.5 on 2.48 acres; and a Preliminary Plat of one
lot into two lots on 2.48 acres. Location: 10065 Eden Prairie Rd. (Ordinance for
Zoning District Change; Resolution No. 2016-84 for Preliminary Plat)
Getschow said official notice of this public hearing was published in the June 30,
2016, Eden Prairie News and sent to 25 property owners. The project includes the
subdivision of a 2.48-acre property into two lots. Proposed Lot 1, which is nearly
one acre, is being created for a new single-family home, and proposed Lot 2, which
is about 1.5 acres, will include the existing home. The property is guided Low-
Density Residential and is currently zoned Rural. The grading plan, tree replacement
plan, stormwater management, and utility plans for the future new home will be
reviewed in detail when the homeowner submits a land alteration permit and the
building permit. The Planning Commission voted 6-0 with one abstention to
recommend approval of the project at the June 27, 2016, meeting.
Nelson asked if there is sewer and water on the property. Ellis replied Phase 1 of the
Eden Prairie Road extension project extended sewer and water to where the lot will
be sited. Nelson asked if they will have to put in sewer and water. Ellis replied they
can continue to use the existing home's septic system and well but would have to
hook up a new home to the City sewer and water.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Butcher Wickstrom, to close the public
hearing; to approve first reading of the ordinance for Zoning District change from
Rural Zoning District to R1-13.5 Zoning District on 2.48 acres; to adopt
Resolution No. 2016-84 for Preliminary Plat on 2.48 acres into 2 lots; and to direct
staff to prepare a development agreement incorporating staff and commission
recommendations and Council conditions.

Tyra-Lukens noted, while this item seemed to be fairly contentious at the Planning
Commission meeting, she did not see how this project could be denied. Aho
believed it fit within the context of the adjoining neighborhoods.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried 4-0.
C. TACO BELL BY BORDER FOODS, INC. Request for Site Plan Review on .56
acres. Location: 8450 Joiner Way (Resolution No. 2016-85 for Site Plan Review)
Getschow said this item is for several interior and exterior updates planned for the
Taco Bell restaurant. The applicant plans to update the exterior facade of the
building, add a small cooler/freezer to the back of the building and complete other
site improvements. He said City code was recently changed to allow for a more
expedient process with site plans.
Barbara Schneider, Vice President of Development for Border Foods, addressed
the proposal. She said they followed Eden Prairie's requirements to maintain class
A materials for restaurants, so this location looks somewhat different from other
Taco Bell restaurants. She said there are height restrictions for much of the
building site because of the easement for the overhead electric lines. She said they
met with the Watershed District and have a few items left to do after that meeting.
Tyra-Lukens asked if they would incorporate any stone into the building's exterior.
Dean Madsen, architect, said they have not put in stone on this building because a
tower required for stone would be taller than the rest of the restaurant, and they
cannot extend the height of this building. However, they might be able to
incorporate stone somewhere else on the building. Nelson commented stone makes
a more interesting building, and it would be good if there were an alternative way
to fit stone into the exterior.
Tyra-Lukens noted she has seen some Taco Bells with an industrial sheet look. Ms
Schneider said the Hopkins location has their newest architectural design and has
an industrial look because of the corrugated metal on the building; however, they
do not have the space to redo the building at this location.
Tyra-Lukens asked about the landscaping improvements. Ms Schneider said they
will be doing a total exterior landscape rework. She said the original development
agreement had a requirement for a fence along Joiner Way; however, the fence
was never put in. She believed some landscaping was put in as a substitute for the
fence. She did not believe the existing trees would last if a fence were put in now.
City staff has agreed the amendment for the fence should be taken out of the new
development agreement. They would substitute a hedge-type landscaping for the
fence, and there will be a small retaining wall along the driveway area. They will
do landscaping around the ingress/egress to the restaurant. There will be new
landscaping at the corner of the drive through, and bushes and rock will be added
along the front of the restaurant as well as along Joiner Way. There will be a trail
connection down to the restaurant.

Tyra-Lukens asked if they could move the bike rack to be near the trail. Ms
Schneider said there is not a lot of room in back, and the proposed location would
be a safer place for bikers. She asked if the City would give permission to put the
bike rack in the area on the trail above. Jeremiah replied staff would work with the
applicant to come up with a solution for the bike rack. Tyra-Lukens noted bike
racks need to be visible.
Aho asked how significant the changes required by the City of Eden Prairie were
to the construction and design of this project as compared to their corporate
standards. Ms Schneider said her personal opinion is the requirements made it
more difficult, and she believed it would look better if they were able to do it
differently. They have worked with other cities that have similar standards for
Class A materials; however, what made this site difficult was the existence of the
overhead line which compressed the restaurant. Aho asked if the compression of
the restaurant is due to the Xcel Energy lines. Ms Schneider said that was correct.
Butcher Wickstrom commented this is an improvement over what was there
before. There is a better drive through configuration now. She said there also is an
issue of people not knowing where to go for the drive through, and asked if there
will be different wayfinding. Ms Schneider said they can put some markings on the
pavement to help with that and can see if there is a possibility of placing a
directional sign. on one of the islands.
Nelson asked if they have been able to do anything to smooth out the entrance to
the drive through. Ms Schneider said they intend to put some new concrete and
asphalt in the drive through area.
With regard to the slat wall extending more to the parapet of the building, Aho
asked what staff s reasoning was about making those changes. Jeremiah said with
the shorter building the slat wall appeared to split the building and did not seem to
be as interesting. Aho asked if they would be able to bring some stone into the
design because that might add some interest and contrast. Ms Schneider said they
could do that.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Nelson, to close the Public Hearing; to adopt
Resolution No. 2016-85 for a Site Plan Review on 0.56 acres; and to approve the
first amendment to the developer's agreement, which is an amendment of original
developer's agreement entered into on March 10, 1992.
Getschow asked if the resolution was to include the Council comments
and requests. Council Members Aho and Nelson agreed.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried 4-0.

D. RESOLUTION NO. 2016-86 AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
RELATING TO DEVEOPMENT DENSITIES AND PROCESS FOR
MEDIUM AND HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS
Getschow said the Metropolitan Council staff has identified an inconsistency
within the text language of the Comprehensive Plan. The Metropolitan Council has
communicated that this inconsistency between policy intent and guiding densities
needs to be corrected. The inconsistency identified exists between the text
language in the land use chapter and the densities provided on the guide plan map.
When the Metropolitan Council reviewed the 2009 Comprehensive Plan, it
reviewed based on the density ranges provided in the land use chapter text rather
than those indicated on the map or in the housing chapter.
He said the City is embarking on the next ten-year plan update,but this amendment
would affect any projects in the next two years or so. At its June 27, 2016, meeting,
the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the Comprehensive
Plan amendment, subject to the information in the staff report dated June 22, 2016.
Tyra-Lukens asked if there was an error on our original information. Getschow
replied there was a typo on the annotated agenda, but the rest of the packet
information is accurate.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Butcher Wickstrom moved, seconded by Nelson, to close the Public
Hearing and to adopt Resolution No. 2016-86 amending the Comprehensive Plan.
Motion carried 4-0.
E. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING TEMPORARY
HOUSING OPT-OUT
Getschow said in May 2016, the Minnesota Legislature passed legislation to allow
local governments to begin issuing a new type of permit to allow certain types of
modular or manufactured housing as temporary dwellings. The motivation for the
statute is to allow transitional housing for seniors. Specifically, the law allows
municipalities to issue permits allowing seniors that require assistance with 2 or
more instrumental activities of daily life to stay in temporary dwellings located on
a yard or driveway for 6 months with an option to extend the permit for 6 months.
Our current City Code does not permit temporary dwellings. He noted the
temporary dwellings have several names including"granny pod" and"drop home."
Getschow said cities have the option to opt out of the program,but must do so by
September 1, 2016. Some of the logistics require that the structure be no larger
than 700 square feet, that it be constructed off site, and that there be no ability to
hook up to utilities. Our current code does not allow temporary dwellings, and staff
feels this is not a program that we would want to participate in right now. He said
staff could look into code for temporary dwellings or similar units if that is desired,
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MINUTES
July 19 2016
Page 9
but we believe there are other options available. He was not aware we have had
any requests for these dwellings. He was aware that other metropolitan
communities are opting out and looking at their own approach to this.
Aho was not sure such dwellings would work and asked if it would be something
like a travel trailer. He asked what an individual would do for bathrooms, a water
source and other utilities for the dwelling. Getschow replied the dwelling would
come in on a trailer, and the water would be provided through a garden hose. There
are concerns about provisions for water and sewer. There are specially-made pods
available,but such units would still have all the issues outlined.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Butcher Wickstrom, to close the Public
Hearing and to approve first reading of the Ordinance to opt out of the
requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.3593. Motion carried 4-0.
X. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS
MOTION: Nelson moved, seconded by Butcher Wickstrom, to approve the payment of
claims as submitted. Motion was approved on a roll call vote, with Aho, Butcher
Wickstrom, Nelson and Tyra-Lukens voting "aye."
XI. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
A. EDEN PRAIRIE CENTER LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS by Eden Prairie
Center. Second reading of Ordinance 14-2016-PUD-9-2016 for Planned Unit District
review on 35.32 acres. Location: 8251 Flying Cloud Drive. (Ordinance No. 14-2016-
PUD-9-2016 for PUD District Review)
Getschow said the City Council reviewed the request at a public hearing on
December 1, 2015. At that time, the Council closed the public hearing and approved
first reading of the ordinance. The Council directed staff to continue working with
the applicant to accommodate additional screening of parking areas and
enhancement of pedestrian access.
Erica Christianson, representing LHB Architects, said they are back to respond to the
discussion from the first project review last December. After reviewing the plans,
they enhanced several areas of landscaping, especially around the entrances to the
shopping center. There was an interest by City staff to improve the existing trail
parallel to Flying Cloud Drive, and they have realigned that and brought it closer to
Eden Prairie Center. There will be additional crosswalks and curb cuts through the
parking medians and a striped crossing through the parking lot. The bike rack will be
closer to the bike trail and a crosswalk will be added where the bike rack is. At the
first project review the Council also expressed concern about the trees and the
screening. They worked with an arborist on the tree plans, and now plan more
screening at the entrance and will include a layer of shrubs.

Nelson asked if they have thought of adding some electrical outlets to have holiday
lighting near the Regional Center Road entrance. Ms Christianson said they could
look at that as there is power in that area.
Ms Christianson said there will be a layering effect of trees and bushes at the
Singletree Lane entrance, and they plan to add a hedge between the trees at the Den
Road entrance.
Tyra-Lukens commented the new plans have incorporated answers to a lot of the
Council's concerns, and she thought it will look quite spectacular. The other Council
Members agreed.
Tyra-Lukens asked when they will get to Phase 2 of the project. Ms Christianson
said it will be next year.
MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Butcher Wickstrom, to approve second
reading of Ordinance No. 14-2016-PUD9-2016 for Planned Unit Development
District review and Zoning District review within the Commercial Regional
Service Zoning District on 35.32 acres; and to approve the development
agreement. Motion carried 4-0.
XII. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
XIII. APPOINTMENTS
A. STUDENTS ON COMMISSIONS
Getschow said one applicant's name was inadvertently left off the list of students
appointed to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission by the City
Council at their June 14, 2016, meeting.
MOTION: Butcher Wickstrom moved, seconded by Nelson, to appoint James
Yoo to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission as a Students on
Commissions program representative. Motion carried 4-0.
XIV. REPORTS
A. REPORTS OF COUNCIL MEMBERS
1. Green Step Cities Recosnition
Tyra-Lukens said it was announced at the Minnesota Conference of Cities
that Eden Prairie has achieved the highest level of completion of the
GreenStep Cities program for our goals regarding sustainability. She
displayed the award received for the Step 4 level, and noted this is a good
reflection of our staff commitment to sustainability.

2. LoGo PEP
Tyra-Lukens said the City applied for the Project for Energy Preparation
(PEP) program which is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the
Minnesota Department of Commerce. The program is designed to recognize
leaders in energy innovation. There is no fee to participate in the program
and will give us support of experts in terms of reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and renewable energy. Getschow noted the kick-off will take place
next week in the five cities participating in the program.
3. Star Tribune Best Workplace
Tyra-Lukens said Eden Prairie was ranked 47 h in the list of 150 mid-sized
cities in the recent Star Tribune Best Workplace contest. She noted we were
the only city in the entire list, and this is the third year we have received the
recognition.
4. Bonfires—Mayor Tyra-Lukens
Tyra-Lukens said she received some emails regarding having a change in our
policy to allow bonfires within the City. She suggested we could do some
checking into this to see if it is something we want to change. Some cities
may allow bonfires, but may require a permit or payment of a fee.
Aho said he does not have anyone near this home who burns bonfires
regularly. He does have a fire pit in back of his home,but did not think it
bothers any of his neighbors. Butcher Wickstrom asked about issues
regarding air quality for those who may be bothered by smoke. Nelson noted
it would be important to make certain a"no burning" advisory is not in place
before starting a bonfire and to make sure people are using the proper
containers.
Tyra-Lukens asked if staff could bring back a status report on this.
Getschow said there are regulations regarding the size and location of the fire
and the need for a water source nearby. There would be concerns about
sensitivity to wood smoke. He said staff will bring back a report.
5. Support for Local Police Departments—Council Member Aho
Aho said, in light of recent attacks on police in several areas, he wanted to
express how much we support and commend our local Police and Fire
responders. Chief DeMann said he believes our staff are comfortable, but it is
a time of uncertainty. He encouraged residents to show their support.
Nelson said she appreciated how much our Police and Fire respond to our
residents in a professional manner.

1. Resolution No. 2016-87 Approving Sale of a Portion of Real Property
Commonly Known as 11201 Burr Ride Lane
Ellis said the City of Eden Prairie acquired the parcel at 11201 Burr Ridge
Lane in 2014 for a storm drainage system project. After completion of the
project, the property owner of 11191 Burr Ridge Lane approached the City of
Eden Prairie with an interest in purchasing approximately 4,820 square feet
from 11201 Burr Ridge Lane. The property owner has a lot with very
irregular boundaries and had a desire to see portions incorporated into his
property. After conducting a study of the property, City staff concluded the
City has no possible purpose for keeping it. The Assessing Department
determined a price for the property at$2.00 per square foot, and staff
determined the City would need a drainage and utility easement on the
property. Staff developed a purchase agreement that was agreeable to the
property owner. Staff recommends the resolution be adopted to approve the
sale.
Tyra-Lukens noted it seems like a win-win situation.
MOTION: Nelson moved, seconded by Butcher Wickstrom, to adopt
Resolution No. 2016-87 approving the sale of a portion of real property
commonly known as 11201 Burr Ridge Lane, Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and
depicted on Exhibit A attached thereto. Motion carried 4-0.
