and Ordinance No. 78-31 )
A
MOTION: Meyers moved, seconded by Osterholt, to continue the Prairie East 7th
Public Hearing to the July 18, 1978 Council meeting. Motion carried
unanimously.
B. Darkenwald Duplexes, rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 and RM 6. 5 for
2 existinq single family and 52 duplex lots, and preliminary plat approval
Resolution No. 78-102 and Ordinance No.,,.78-30)- Continued Public Nearing
from June 20, 1978
City Manager Ulstad explained Staff has met with Mr. Darkenwald to review
his proposal . Originally Mr. Darkenwald was requesting consideration from
the Council of 52 duplex lots and 2 single family lots. In reviewing 411-11s
proposal with Mr. Darkenwald, he has now agreed to request duplex lots
that front on Franlo Road and the balance to be zoned single family.
Mr. Darkenwald, the proponent, displayed a map showing the new proposal
consisting of i duplex lots and 21 single family lots.
Meyers questioned why the proponent can' t put in one street. Mr. Darkenwald
responded the topographic layout of the land becomes impractical to run a
road through.
City Planner Enger noted it is a lower area, but it is not a significant
low area.. Further City Engineer Jullie and Planner Enger looked at the layout
and did not feel it would be an undue hardship to run a road through.
Enger felt it is possible to swing a road down along the storm sewer easement.
Jullie explained the cost of the road would be approximately $50.00 a running
foot for a completed road, roughly $25,000 to $30,000 for the road construction
which includes some grading and a fair amount of fill .
Osterholt questioned if the road were realigned, would there be any possibility
of building additional sites? Enger responded it would be feasible that the
road could go in without losing a lot, however, he does not know if a lot would
be gained or not.
Penzel questioned if the City has adopted a policy that cul-de-sacs should
not exceed 500 feet in length, as both of these exceed the 500 feet. Enger
responded it is part of the City' s Subdivision Ordinance and if a cul-de-sac
exceeds 500 feet it would be a variance to this ordinance.
Meyers felt the entire neighborhood should be serf-contained in one loop
street rather than in 2 cul-de-sacs.
Penelope Needham, 8685 Westwind Circle, presented a petition indicating
preference to have the Darkenwald property developed into single family
residential lots in lieu of the proposed duplex lots. (Petition attached
as part of minutes) Mrs. Needham, however, stated she was pleased to see
the changes which have occurred since the June 20th Council meeting.
B. Darkenwald (continued)
Osterholt stated he feels the proposal )s an improvement, but would like
to see an access for the one road to the east if it can be worked out.
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Pauly, to close the Public Hearing
and give a 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 78-30, rezoning 21 lots from
Rural to R1-13.5 and 7 lots from Rural to RM 6.5. Motion carried
unanimously.
MOTION: Bye moved, seconded by Osterholt, to adopt Resolution No. 78-102,
approving the preliminary plat for Darkerywald, and that prior to final
platting an alternate access to Preserve Boulevard be worked out. Bye,
Oste rholt,Pauly and Penzel voted "aye" , Meyers voted "nay". Motion carried.
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Bye, to direct the City Attorney
to draft a developers agreement incorporating the recommendations of the
Planning Commission, Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission, and
City Staff. Motion carried unanimously.
C. Lake Trail Estates, request by Mr. Swenson and Mr. Schwartz, to rezone
from Rural & 0-22 to R1-13.5, RM 6.5 and Public, and preliminary
plat approval of approximately 27 acres for 3 duplex lots, 43 single
family and 1 church. Located north of TH 5 and west of the Prairie Village
Mall . Ordinance No. 78-33 and Resolution No. 78-116)
City Manager Ulstad explained there is an affidavit on rile calling
AffftL
for this Public Hearing. The proponents have appeared before the Planning
Commission and the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission and
notices have been sent to all affected and abutting property owners
_ on .file.
Steve Young, Knutson Architects, representing the proponents, spoke to
the proposal and answered questions of Council members .
City Planner Enger stated this item was considered at the June 12th
Planning Commission meeting where the rezoning was approved on a 4 0
vote, however, the preliminary plat was denied on a 3 - 1 vote. Enger
noted Mr. Bearman, member of the Planning Commission, is present to speak
to the reason for the motion of denial on the preliminary plat. Enger -
also spoke to the Planning Staff Report dated June 8, 1978.
Bill Bearman, member of the Planning Commission, explained on many
occasions Eden Prairie has become the land of cul-de-sacs , and we
don' t have enough through streets. The Planning Commission felt there
needed to be some direction as far as the City Council is concerned for
a new north/stuth street between Highway 5 and Valley View - one from
the safety standpoint, and the second that everybody building along the
area would be exiting on to Highway 5.
Enger reitereated the position of the Planning Commission that the
Commission was not in opposition to the plat, except as it deals with how
the road system is to be handled, otherwise the plat meets all City
ordinances .
k
C. Lake Trail Estates (continued)
Meyers noted that on the preliminary plat a private drive is shown going
.nto the church property and asked if consideration had been given to
extending that private drive as a frontage to the vacant parcel east of
the church site.
Enger responded the Staff's original feeling prior to the proponent
talking to the Highway Department was negative to any access to Highway 5.
The Highway Department was in favor of access strictly for the church and
the church would confine most of its hours to the weeklend. Enger
commented the proponent also added accesses fdr half the subdivision and
Staff does not feel this is a good solution. The proponent contacted
Eagle Enterprises to the east for potential access to the east, and Eagle
Enterprises was not ready to provide access to the church. Staff felt
a frontage road would add to the amount of traffic and therefore would
not recommend same.
Ivan Kundel , 17491 Kilmer Avenue, explained there are 50 homes in the
area now that have to make their way out to Highway 5 already. If there
is any emergency vehicle needed inthe area during a heavy snowfall ,
there would be no way for emergency vehicles to get into the area.
Mr. Kundel thought it would be reasonable to extend Luther Way into this
area as he feels all accesses should be open. He also does not feel
two more cul-de-sacs make any sense.
Greg Boen, 7760 Heritage Road, referred to petition signed by residents
of Heritage Park First Addition and Round Lake Estates First Addition
dated June 28, 1978, which speaks to the best solution to be an access
to the east to County Road 4. (Petition attached as part of minutes)
_ Osterholt explained the Council considered 11 transportation alternatives
for a road system in this area, and it was decided one was more acceptable
than the others.
Jullie explained the City Council gave concept approval to Alternate W10,
extending Luther Way around 500 feet to the west. The Council also ordered
that water and sewer improvements would have to include a road connection
up to 72nd Street as a temporary solution so that area would have another
way out over to County Road 4 to get to a signalized intersection. As this
becomes a reality, the system can work reasonably well . Jullie commented
this was the general concept that seemed to be reasonably acceptable to the
parties involved.
Steve Longman, 17230 Park Circle, stated the residents in his area were not
notified that a discussion would be held on the it alternatives in May.
Mr. Longman requested to hear all of the plans and alternatives which were
presented to the Council at that time.
Penzel explained there were a number of Heritage people present at the meeting
in May. The response of the Council at that time was clearly in accord
on what we heard. The Council did not overlook the fact that Heritage Park
has a problem with access to Highway 5.
Mayor Penzel called for a brief recess for City Engineer Jullie to go through
the 11 transportation alternatives and ir-. ited those in the audience interested
to remain during the discussion.
C. Lake Trail Estates (continued)
Meeting reconvened.
Osterholt questioned what the time schedule the developer is contemplating.
Mr. Swenson, proponent, stated they are behind their proposed starting
date now, and asked if there was a possibility of letting bids.
Penzel replied as far as utilities are concerned, he doesn' t think they
would be affected. City Engineer Jullie agreed.
Reverend Mark Liesener, representing Prairie L6theran Church, explained he is
concerned that the church be allowed to proceed as soon as possible.
Penzel stated the proponents could proceed with the engineering work with
Mr. Jullie' s guidance, and then resolve the transportation concerns as
soon as possible through the Public Hearing process .
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Meyers, to close the Public Hearing
and give a 1 s t Reading to Ordinance No. 78-33, rezoning from Rural and
R1-22 to R1-13.5, RM 6.5 and Public for 3 duplex lots, 43 single family 3
and 1 church for Lake Trail Estates, and direct Staff to hold a Public Hearing
with the Planning Commission and Council for the purpose of transportation
alignment as it affects this particular development. Motion carried
unanimously.
r
MOTION: Meyers moved, seconded by Osterholt, to direct the City Attorney
to draft a developers agreement incorporating the recommendations of the
Planning Staff Report dated June 8, 1978, Engineer's Supplement dated
June 6, 1978, and Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed District comments.
f Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Bye, to adopt Resolution No.
78-116, approving the preliminary plat for Lake Trail Estates contingent
upon preliminary plat that is approved as a result of the transportation
hearings . Motion carried unanimously.
D. Amsden Hills IV, The Preserve, request to rezone from Rural to RM 6.5
for 10 duplex„lots on 5 acres and pri—limifnary plat approval
City Manager Ulstad explained there is an affidavit on file calling
for this Public Hearing. The proponents have appeared before the Parks,
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission and the Planning Commission.
Notices have been sent to all affected and abutting property owners on
file.
Lee Johnson, The Preserve, outlined the proposal and answered questions
of Council members. Mr. Johnson requested consideration of the Council of
setback variances of 30 feet on the two lots fronting on Franlo Road.
City Planner Enger explained the proposal was considered by the Planning
Commission on May 22nd and unanimously approved, with the stipulation
that the lots on Franlo Road adhere to the 50 foot setback.
D. Amsden Hills IV, The Preserve (continued)
Jim Edwards, 10260 Amsden Way, commented that a final disposition of
Outlot D has not been reached. Mr. Johnson explained he is in discussion
with a number of people on the use of the parcel and access to it.
Further Mr. Johnson stated he is coming in with a final plat for
Amsden III , and he has a compromise proposed to a number of people ?
and would like to get that in order before discussing same. He does
not feel the question of the outlot corresponds to this proposal .
Osterholt questioned if Mr. Edwards feels Amsden Hills IV has any
impact on Outlot D. Mr. Edwards responded only as it would affect
the access to Outlot D.
Osterholt further questioned if The Preserve is contemplating any
change in Amsden Hills IV to gain access to Outlot D. Mr. Johnson
replied in the negative.
Mr. Edwards then requested the proponents to keep Outlot D as open space.
Mr. Krouchko, 10300 Amsden Way, questioned how far the lot line is from
the pond in the southern most lot fronting on Franlo Road. Mr. Johnson
replied about 400 feet.
Mr. Krouchko commented that the land has been graded part way down the
slope and asked if there was any particular reason. Mr. Johnson replied
the property line is at the bottom of the flat spot.
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Meyers , to close the Public Hearing
and give a 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 78-34, rezoning from Rural to
RM 6.5 for 10 duplex lots on 5 acres for Amsden Hills IV, The Preserve.
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Meyers moved, seconded by Osterholt, to direct the City Attorney
to draft a developers agreement incorporating the 7 items in the Planning
Staff Report, recommendations from the Riley-Purgatory Creek Watershed
District, and the dedication of Outlots B and C through a Quit Claim Deed
or Warranty Deed, whichever the City Attorney deems suitable. Motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Bye, to adopt Resolution No.
78-117, approving the preliminary plat for Amsden Hills IV by The Preserve.
Motion carried unanimously.
E . Norman Addition by Norman Clark & Dirlam Properties. Request for rezoning
from Rural to R1-13.5 and preliminary plat approval of 6.5 acres into
13 lots
City Manager Ulstad explained there is an affidavit on file calling for
this Public Hearing. The proponents have appeared before the Parks,
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission and the Planning Corunission.
Notices have been sent to all affected and abutting property owners on
file.
E. Norman Addition (continued)
Don Peterson, representing Dirlam Properties, spoke to the proposal and
answered questions of Council members.
{ City Planner Enger reviewed the Planning Commission minutes, pointing
out the two main items of concern voiced by the residents: 1) the continuous
street throughout the subdivision, and 2) the item of storm water run-off
which was resolved at the June 22nd meeting with an updated report from the
Engineering Department. The Planning Commission did approve the project
unanimously with the consideration that the developer request the City
Council to allow them the possibility of Outlot A being in private ownership
as a pond for a storm sewer and utility easement by the City. Further
that the Planning Commission recommended a 5 foot wide concrete pathway
along Duck Lake Trail , however, the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
Commission recommended that there should be continuity with an 8 foot
wide bituminous pathway along this system.
General discussion took place as to the need for a trail in this
development, as there is a commitment for a trail across from this
trail .
Mr. Peterson stated for that reason he is requesting that a trail system not be
part of the approval of this proposal by the City Council . He further requested
the proponents be given an opportunity to work out the storm sewer system
with the City Engineering Department.
Osterholt questioned if there was a ponding area permitted, what would
the liability be to the City if it remained in private ownership? City
Attorney Pauly commented it would depend on what action is taken by the
City Council , however, it would be a little remote that the City would
have a liability if it remains in private hands .
Ulstad questioned if Outlot A would be assigned to all lots in the area.
Mr. Peterson replied he would like to work this out with their attorney
in order to come up with the best possible solution. If this cannot be done,
the proponents will go with a straight pipe. Mr. Peterson stated in talking
with the neighbors, the neighbors would like to have it done with a pond.
Bob Pemberton, 18070 South Shore Lane, and Mr. Bowser, 7043 Park View
Lake, spoke in favor of a pond.
MOTION: Pauly moved, seconded by Meyers , to close the Public Nearing
and give a 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 78-35, rezoning 6.5 acres from
Rural to R1-13. 5 for Norman Addition. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Meyers moved, seconded by Osterholt, to adopt Resolution No. 78-118,
approving the preliminary plat for Norman Addition, contingent that the
Staff work out the ownership and/or assessing of the ponding area. Motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION: Meyers moved, seconded by Osterholt, to direct the City Attorney to
draft a developers agreement incorporating items of the May 3, 1978 Staff
Report, deleting the trail requirement, and that lots 8 and 13 shall have front
and side yard setbacks consistent with the adjacent R1-22 lots. Motion carried
• unanimously.

TO: THE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL
RE: REZONING AND REPLATTING OF THE LAKE TRAIL ESTATES
Attached is a petition signed by residents of Heritage Park First Addition and
Round Lake Estates First Addition.
There is presently one ingress and egress to these additions. The Plan is for
another access onto Highway #5 off the proposed Lake Trail Estates which will
tic in with Heritage Road in the future. With the predominant number of residents
using Heritage Road turning East onto Highway #5 due to work, school and services,
another access onto Highway #5 does not remedy the problem because of the ever-
increasing saturation on Highway #5. The residents strongly believe that because
of the aforesaid, the best solution is an access to the East to County Road #4,
preferably connecting with Luther Way. .
f
1. There has to be an access to the East before any additional construction
brings more traffic onto Heritage Road.
2. The residenAs who attended the August 16. 1977 City Council meeting
' were told they would have an access to the East before any additional
construction was done.
3. The question is why is the present proposal not connecting with Luther F
Way. g
4. A proposed Plan for access to the North does not solve the problem be-
cause most of the residents exiting Heritage Road go East on Highway #5.
The best solution is for access directly to the East to County Road #4.
5. What if there is an accident on Highway #5 or Heritage Road and there
is an emergency in the area such as a fire or need of an ambulance or
police assistance? There has to be another access to the area. Access
from County Road #4 directly West would unsure that the emergency
vehicles could eft through to the area in the least amount of time.
t' proposed street plans and utility
6. The area was not nc�ifzed when the prop p y
designs were discussed.
7. The concern is with future development in the remaining open areas, and
because of this, the most sound planning is access to the East to County
Road #4.
I
8. The proposed access to Highway #5 from Lake Trail Estates during peak
traffic will be almost impossible because of the stacking of traffic in the
East bound lane at the semaphore on County Road #4 and Highway #5 and
then the semaphore release of the West bound traffic.
