WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie has adopted a Comprehensive Guide Plan for
land uses within the city; and
WHEREAS, Frank Beddor has proposed an amendment to the Comprehensive Guide
Plan from Public Open Space to Industrial on 20 acres, with attendant requests for
Zoning District changes from I-General to I-5 on 18.7 acres and from R1-22 to I-5 on
19.3 acres for construction of a 250,000 sq. ft. industrial building at the
northeast corner of Highway 5 and West 184th Street; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council did conduct a public hearing on said requests of
Frank Beddor on May 17, 1988;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council hereby denies the requests of Frank Beddor
j for amendment to the Comprehensive Guide Plan from Public Open Space to Industrial
on 20 acres and Zoning District changes from I-General to I-5 on 18.7 acres and from
R1-22 to 1-5 on 19.3 acres for construction of a 250,000 sq. ft. industrial building
at the northeast corner of Highway 5 and West 184th Street, based upon the following
findings :
A. The proposed development is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan
and no substantiation for the change to the Comprehensive Guide Plan has
been provided .
B. The site plan , as proposed , does not meet City Code requirements with
respect to the lack of screening of parking and loading areas, location of a
loading facility in a front yard, and use or plain concrete block as an
exterior building material , all of which are not permitted by City Code.
C. The proposed rezoning request is speculative and is not based on a specific
project, contrary to provisions of City Code Section 11. 30, Subdivision 3B.
D. Traffic impacts which would result from the proposed development would be
significant due to the size of the facility, the amount of loading proposed,
and the possible congestion which would result on Dell Road . The project
may be premature since the property would be dependent upon a right-in,
only, from Highway #5 for access until 1990.
E. There are significant negative impacts on the natural features of the
property by the proposed development, including removal of mature oak trees,
significant fill in areas of existing steep slopes, and fill adjacent to and
within a designated wetland. The proposed filling and grading work is
contrary to the natural topography of the property.
` F. The proposed development does not provide an effective transition to the
existing residential land uses to the north and east.
ADOPTED by the City Council on June 7, 1988.
