Dick Putnam, Village Planner reviewed the Griarhill project in Edenvale.
11-c. project is proposed to contain 126 units of which 18 units will be
tc.-.-mhouses on a 10.8 acre site. Hr. Putnam stated that the Planning
Corr::,1i;sion had recommended rezoning the 10+ acre site in Edenvale to
:;f ?_i .5 in accordance with the approved Edenvale PUD Plan, fie also
-rec. inriended inclusion of Market Rate and Rent Supplement units within
thi Griarhill project. He felt the opportunity of using special FHA
236 requirements highly desirable in providing a balanced residential
environment in Eden Prairie.
Village Attorney Keith Simons then reviewed the Attorney General 's
or' pion in regard to a state statute which provides for an assessment
rate, of 5% market value on projects financed under the National Housing
:act in communities of under 10,000 population. fie stated that the 5% �
applies for 15 years from the date of original construction. The
Attorney. General ruled that Eden Prairie would come under this ruling
according to the 1970 census but that the projects would be entitled
to a 20% assessment after the 15 year period for the remainder of the
term of the loan no matter what the population is then.

A resident questioned where Heritage Road would run as it is the only
street to Highway 5 in the project. fir. Putnam stated that a proposed
parkway on the south side of Round Lake would ease the traffic. The
question of a time schedule on the parkway was asked. Nr. Jessen,

i:p next year. Fir. James Hoag, Heritage Park stated that he was very
opposed to the project unless there is another exit provided.

a cul -de-sac but just the end of the street and subdivision. Mr. Nesbitt

A. Tree Chipping_ Operation at International Disposal Corporation of
f i ni nesota Inc. U
Mr. Luther Nelson and Joe Helgevold, Environmental Services for
Hennepin County presented and reviewed plans to establish a "tree
chipping operation" on property owned by International Disposal Corp.
of Hinnesota, Inc. on Flying Cloud Drive in Eden Prairie. The tree
chipping operation consists of hauling in trees and wood debris,
stocking them and chipping into a usable product with a tree chipping

The Mayor questioned the danger of transferring Outch Elm Disease to
Eden Prairie by hauling trees into the Village. fir. tielgevold replied
that there was no danger after the bark is removed. The County plans
to close down the operation when the beetles are active, will not haul
dogs from the last part of April through the first week in June. The
Mayor stated that he understood the only may to get rid of the disease
is to burn the trees. Mr. Flelgevold stated that the Pollution Control
Agency has banned all burning. Mr. Redpath also questioned what would
be done with the stripped bark. fir. Helgevold stated that once it is
stripped the disease is gone, there is no home for the insect.
A series of slides and film was shown by Mr. Nelson in regard to the
type of operation that will take place at the sanitary landfill .
Marty Jessen, Park Director reported that the Park & Recreation Commission
was working on an ordinance to govern the hauling of trees within the
Village.
The Mayor suggested that the matter be tabled until the Park & Recreation
Commission reports back to the Council .
B. Report on Operation Alternatives Services and Recommendation for an
Acting Program.
Marty Jessen gave a report on "Operation Alternatives" a four day drug re
seminar at Lawrenceville Kansas attended by five people from the School
District and the Village. Mr. Jessen stated that this group would like
to study the drug abuse situation in Eden Prairie and take some action
or direction by working on a program for Eden Prairie. The Council {
requested what they needed in order to start the program. fair. Jessen
replied that they would like to send a mailing to all citizens in
Eden Prairie with a questionnaire in regard to knowledge of drug problem, '
the needs of the community with this problem, etc. lie said that this
mailing could perhaps be done for a cost of about $300 for postage and i
printing. He was asked by the Council to report back at the September
12th meeting with more details about this survey.
C. Michael J. Richter. Request for Small Kennel License.
The Manager reviewed a report by the Sheriff's office on the application
by i,Jr. Richter for a Small Kennel License on Franlo Road. As the
runways had been built too close to the neighbor's home, it would be
impossible to keep the noise and odor from annoying these residents. '
Under these circumstances the Manager recommended that the license
be denied. Several residents appeared voicing their objections also.
A motion was made by 11r. McCulloch to deny the Small Kennel License for
Michael J. Richter and file a complaint to have the dogs removed. Mr.
Cosmano seconded. All voted aye. Potion carried.

Dick Putnam, Planner reviewed the Highway Department site and plans.
fir. Putnam stated that he felt that the facility was well put together,
utilizing land in an intense noise area next to a freeway. Heavy
screening will be provided and site grading has formed a pad which is
high above the road. Mr. Putnam expressed concern about the use of
all of the land between 212 and 169. The land north of the Mine-Mile
Creek which becomes narrow and low, and the land south of the site
should be left as a buffer/open space area he stated. fir. Pat Charidivr
of the Highway Department concurred that the land should be left open
and added that an agreement between the Village and Highway Department
should be arranged at the time Village approval is granted and completed
concurrently with the building permit.
The fiayor questioned if the Village might end up with a salt/sand pile
as there has been on old County Road 5. fir. Chandler said that it would
not, this would be under cover.
There being no further questions or comment, a notion was made by f-ir.

ADDITIONS
1 . Duck Lake Trail G County Road #4. Pedestrian Pathway.
i
Dick Putnam, Planner presented a proposed pedestrian walkway on Duck
Lake Trail to 168th Avenue, County Road #4 from Hilwauree Bridge to
Luther' Way. He stated that the total length of the proposed walkway
fron Ticonderoga Trail to 168th Avenue is approximately 5,710 feet.
By removing the Bru-11ar, Kemrich Inc. subdivision and church property
fronting on Duck Lake Trail and total remaining is 2,260 feet at about
$1 .50 per foot of 4 foot walkway would cost an estimated total of
$5,175. The suggested location of a walkway on the east shoulder of
County koad #4 from the bridge to Luther Way has been thus far looked
upon as being unfavorable by the County Highway Department. They are
studying the possibility of a different location. The total length
would be approximately 4,240 feet at about $1.50 per foot with an
estimated cost of $6,360.

Discussion was held on areas along the road where this pathway could
be placed. Mr. Putnam felt that an extension of the road would not
be safe as the striped line perhaps could not be seen readily during
the winter months with snow and ice. A pathway along the ditch or on
undeveloped land which might be deeded to the Village at the time of
plat approval was also discussed. Mrs. Meyers felt that since Duck
Lake Trail would be restored after utilities are installed, it would
be a suitable time to consider the alternatives of a pathway.
This item is to be placed in a future agenda when more data is available
in regard to completion dates on utility installation.
