A. Outlot A, Crestwood 73 by AleK Dorenkemper & Richard Wilson , request to t
rezone 2.17 acres from Rural to R1-22 and preliminary plat approval for '
3 lots. Located north of Dell Drive and East of 9659 Dell Drive Ordinance
No. 79-07 and Resolution No. 79-62) Continued Public Hearing from April 3, 1979
r
Edstrom stated his primary question at the April 3rd Council meeting was
what the status of the Wilson building permit was - how many acres were
associated with that permit at that time? Since the last Council meeting
Edstrom looked at the files in the City with respect to the property and
found that the building permit was applied for by Mr. Wilson with respect
to in excess of 5 acres. Consequently there wasn't any question on the face
of the application that should have troubled the City under the Rural zoning
applicable to that parcel .
)
Dorenkemper spoke to his request and went over the past history of the property
back to 1973, using maps for illustration purposes.
Jullie commented at no point did he ever require a 300 foot long driveway.
The intent at the time of his Staff Report was to have Mr. Dorenkemper
construct a 20 foot road to serve the Wilson driveway and to have the road
terminate at a cul-de-sac, and that the Wilson driveway could have entered
at the end of the cul-de-sac. Mr. Dorenkemper went ahead and constructed
the cul-de-sac and there were no construction plans submitted to the City
Engineer's office for review, in fact it is partially built on private
property.
Osterholt questioned if Jullie had any plans and directions for the cul-de-sac.
Jullie responded there was a recommendation in the Engineering Staff Report
that a 20 foot public road be provided on Dell Road to the proposed driveway
on the Wilson property. The 135 feet dimension was scaled off of the
building plans for the Wilson house.
Osterholt further questioned if the City required Mr. Dorenkemper to construct
the cul-de-sac as he has indicated it has been constructed? Jullie replied
Mr. Dorenkemper never came in with any construction plans or anything else.
Jullie stated he would have been more than happy to review the plans with Mr.
Dorenkemper and if they didn 't make sense, they could have been adjusted.
Penzel asked if the building application was for the 2.2 acres or the 5 acre I
parcel ? City Attorney Pauly responded the application for the building pennit
was made in May of 1973 and recited a 5 acre parcel , and it referred to that
parcel as Lot 4 , Block 1 , of Crestwood, which apparently was in preliminary
Council Minutes - 3 - Tues. .ADri 1 17. 1979
A. Outlot A, Crestwood 73 by Alex Dorenkemper & Richard Wilson (continued)
plat form at that time. Apparently the application was accompanied by a survey
which shows the parcel of property in excess of 5 acres. Then that parcel was
later subdivided at the time of the approval of the plan of Crestwood 73. The 45
portion that Mr. Dorenkemper is asking for further subdivision was then split
off as Outlot A. The building permit was issued on August 24, 1973 and the plat
was approved on August 28, 1973. These are two things that occurred at
approximately the same time. The plat was approved and the effect was to reduce
that original lot size that was applied for, for the building permit.
Dorenkemper read from City Engineer's Staff Report dated August 23. 1973 as
follows: "Bituminous surfacing, 20' wide shall be constructed on Dell Drive
from Crestwood Terrace to 135' east ending in a cul-de-sac to provide proper
access for the existing house on Outlot A. A concrete valley gutter shall
be installed across Dell Drive at its intersection with Crestwood Terrace".
Redpath questioned if there any possibility we can relieve Mr. Wilson and
the existing house without allowing building on the remaining lots. Dorenkemper
replied th4t cannot be done unless he wants it done.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to close the Public Hearing.
Motion .carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to adopt Resolution No. 79-83,
denying the request by Alex Dorenkemper & Richard Wilson to rezcne 2. 17 acres
from Rural to R1-22. (Resolution No. 79-83 attached as part of minutes)
Osterholt stated he is inclined to support the request because Mr. Dorenkemper
has abided with certain requests the City has made, and his request is not
unreasonable to plat this in two additional lots and give Mr. Wilson his platting
that he should have on the property which his home is on.
VOTE ON MOTION: Redpath, Edstrom and Penzel voted "aye" , Osterholt and Pauly
voted "nay". Motion carried.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to deny approval of Resolution
No. 79-62, preliminary plat for Outlot-A, Crestwood 73. Redpath, Edstrom
and Penzel voted "aye", Osterholt and Pauly voted "nay". Motion carried.
B. High Trail Estates by Countryside Investments , request to rezone 40 acres
from Rural to R1 -13.5, preliminary plat 79. single family homes and approval
of Environmental Assessment Worksheet. Located north of Duck Lake Trail between
Duck Lake Road and 168thAvenue West. (Ordinance No. 79-08 - rezoning,
Resolution No. 79-67 - preliminary plat, and Resolution No. 79-68 - E.A.W. )
Cliff Swenson, representing the proponents, spoke to the proposal commenting
they have met' with the neighbors a couple of times and have worked out something
that is agreeable to the neighbors and the proponents.
City Planner Enger explained this item was considered at the March 26th Planning
Commission meeting and was recommended for approval on a 6 - 0 vote, subject to
Staff Report dated March 22, 1979. Enger referred to communciation received
from Karl Kurtz, 6451 Duck Lake Road, who owns the property just to the north
of the plat under consideration, regarding his concern about a ponding area.
Lloyd Erickson, RCM, explained they have been in contact with the Department
of Natural Resources through the Watershed District, and the DNR is going to
come out and look to see if the pond to the north should be declared public waters.
Council Minutes - 4 - Tues. ,April 17, 1979
B. High Trail Estates (continued)
The proponents are proposing to put a storm sewer system under Duck Lake Road
and the storm sewer system can be extended up to the low area to relieve the
situation if the City and property owners desire.
Councilwoman Pauly asked that consideration be given to changing Pleasantview
Road as there is a road in Minnetonka with this same name.
Penzel suggested prior to final plat it be ascertained what can be done with
the low area and then to provide by the means of the final plat an access
from the proposal to the parcel to the north, be it directly north on what
is now called Pleasantview Drive or be it offset by a lot or two to the west.
Marlin Grant, representing Marvin Anderson Construction Company, 8901 Lyi:dale
Avenue South, who owns the property immediately to the west, spoke in favor of
the proposed plat as they have been waiting for sometime for someone to plat
this property to help bring in the improvements on the north/south street.
His company will be coming in very shortly within the next three or four weeks
with a plat- for the Council to review Matting 10 lots d it ect"ll tU t'i c West.
Grant asked Mr. Erickson if the storm sever is going to be put on the entire
length all the way down to Duck Lake Trail . Erickson replied in the affirmative.
Mr. Grant also stated he thought it was a bit odd the developer is required
to "pay the assessment and improvement cost to the City owned parkland. This he
finds unusual as in the other areas where they have developed when there is
City owned property, the City somehow takes care of their own assessment rather
than having the developer pay it.
Director of Community Services Lambert went over the various items discussed
at the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission at meeting held
April 2, 1979 when this proposal was recommended for approval.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Penzel , to close the Public Hearing.

Ordinance No. 79-08, rezoning 40 acres from Rural to R1-13. 5 for. High Trail
Estates. Motion carried unanimously.

approving the preliminary plat for High Trail Estates. Motion carried
unanimously.
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Osterholt, to adopt Resolution No. 79-68,
finding the Environmental Assessment Worksheet for High Trail Estates a
private action does not require an Environmental Impact Statement. Motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Osterholt, to direct Staff to draft a
developer' s agreement incorporating the reconunendations of Planning Commission,
Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission, Staff Report dated
/ March 23, 1979, and that prior to final plat to ascertain what can be done with
the low area and provision of an access from this proposal to the parcel to
the north. Motion carried unanimously.
Council Minutes - 5 - Tues. ,April 17, 1979
C. St. Andrew Church request to rezone 3.5 acres from Rural to Public for
construction of a church building. The site is located within Edenva e
PUD, the northwest corner of Valley View Road and Mitchell Road
(Ordinance No. 79-09)
Lloyd Berquist, BWBR, Architect for St. Andrew Lutheran Church, outlined the
proposal noting that the plan does anticipate expansion in the future and at
that time they will need the balance of the property for parking.
City Planner Enger explained this item was considered at the March 12th
Planning Commission meeting whereby a recommendation for approval was granted
on a 7 - 0 vote. The recommendation for approval was based upon the Staff
Report dated March 9, 19079.
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing and

request to rezone approximately 67 acres from Rural to R1-13. 5, preliminary
plat approval of 89 single family lots and 7 outlots upon an 111 acre site,
and approval of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet. The site is located
west of Olympic Hills Clubhouse, east of Sunnybrook Road, and south of Neill Lake.
(Ordinance No. 79-10, Resolution No. 79-69 —preliminary plat, and Resolution
No. 79-70 - E.A.W. )
Don Ringrose, BRW, representing the joint development team (The Preserve and
Olympic Hills Corporation) , spoke to the proposal and answered questions of
Council members.
City Planner Enger explained this item was reviewed by the Planning Commission
at the 2/12/79, 2/26/79 and 3/12/79 meetings. The Planning Commission
recommended to the City Council approval at the March 12th meeting of the
preliminary plat for 89 lots, rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 and approval of
the E.A.W. , subject to the Staff Report dated March 9, 1979, and also subject
to the specific item that no construction of homes would occur in the area
prior to a second access out of the site. Enger summarized how the roads
should be developed in the area in order to mesh.
Director of Community Services Lambert spoke to the items discussed 9 the
Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission on March 19, 1979, at which
time the Commission also recommended to the Council approval of the proposal .
Councilwoman Pauly asked Mr. Adams if he would in the developer's agreement
commit that they will not be subdividing Outlots A, B. C and D. Mike Adams,
President of Olympic Hills Corporation, replied they would be willing to make
this commitment.
Ron Nelson, 12205 Sunnybrook Road, requested that Sunnybrook Road
not be used for an access road for construction traffic. Mr. Ringrose replied
the only construction that could take place prior to some other access being
provided would be changing of the golf course. Assuming that an access from
the west, north or south is there before they start developing and Sunnybrook
is identified as a "no truck route", the proponents would have no objections.
a
Council Minutes - 6 - Tues. ,April 17, 1979
D. Olympic Hills Sixth Addition (continued)
General discussion took place comparing the size of the lots in North Oaks
with those in the Olympic Hills Sixth Addition. Pauly commented the lots in
North Oaks are all on at least an acre lot, whereas the size of the lots in
this proposal are much smaller. Pauly also questioned if lining
up 13. 5 size lots adds prestige to an area when the lots are that small.
Redpath asked if there is any way the City can be assured that Olympic
Hills Golf Course will always remain a golf course. City Attorney Pauly
responded one technique would be a restrictive covenant as to the use. a
Mike Adams stated they have agreed to restrictive covenants on the other
additions and would be willing to do so in this case. Larry Peterson,
representing The Preserve, also stated The Preserve has no problem with a
covenant restriction.
Council requested the following: 1) the ultimate proposed and/or accomplished
development plan that affects the golf course, the perimeter properties, the
subdivisions that go through its center, etc. , ; 2) an agreement as referred
to by City Attorney Pauly as a restrictive covenant which would assure the
City that the golf course would remain open space even if it would cease
to operate as a golf course; and 3) a review of those portions of land
which already have restrictive covenants. imposed on them and then review
of the additional portions that would be included.
Councilwoman Pauly asked that serious attention be given to the alternate
road as described by City Planner Enger where there is less grading required.
Adams commented that would necessitate getting into a drastic revision and they
would lose the 3rd and 13th holes and would have no place to pick them up.
Penzel suggested the proponents look at the alternatives of specific road
locations within the proposed plat. There may be an alteration possible in
grade at one end or other which would obviate the need for having an 8 foot bank
immediately adjoining the road right-of-way. Ringrose explained they have prepared
preliminary grades for the road and will come back and with a graphic which
illustrates the extent of cut and fill .
Osterholt asked when the proponents bring a graphic of what is contemplated
and what is already developed, that the proponents show the present location of
the holes, if there is any land that is going to be changed - like a residue
from the changes, and what is contemplated for that? Osterholt further requested
Staff to address the situation with the deer corridor and the E.A.W. , as
the area where Neill Lake is located is very sensitive and putting in and watering
golf course holes with drainage into that area could have a substantial
pollutant impact.
Penzel asked that Mr. Nelson's comments be included in the developer's agreement
when drawn up that the use of Sunnybrook Road be restricted.
MOTION : Osterholt moved, seconded by Edstrom, to continue the Olympic Hills
Sixth Addition Public Hearing to May 1 , 1979. Motion carried unanimously.

2. Bryant Lake Park Plan
Director of Comnunity Services Lambert spoke to his memo dated April 12,
1979� with the staff recommendation for approval of the Bryant Lake
Regional Park Master Plan with the access road as shown on the plan.
Elizabeth Hanley, 6408 Rowland Road, stated she would like to know more #.
about this plan, specifically the location of the road.
Jerry" Rodberg, 6580 Rowland, felt there was an inadequate plan for the
park before construction was initiated and there should be more safeguards
provided for the residents when the park will be used heavily, i .e. , how
are the residents going to be protected from people driving into their
property. Rodberg further commented the temporary access is not a bad
access, it may not be the best, but it should be considered. Would like
to know where the $10,000 figure is coming from on the access road Haakon
Torjesen suggested. Rodberg felt traffic should be reduced on Rowland
( Road as there are only 6 - 8 residents on Rowland Road�and to develop it
as a collector road isn' t in the best interest of the property owners at this
time. Mr. Rodberg requested that more thought be given to this situation.
Penzel questioned the time frame for completion. Lambert explained the
time frame should be within the next month or so as construction should be
continued this summer so the cuts are not left open.
The Council continued this item to the May 1 st Council meeting in order to
inform the people living around the Bryant Lake area , including Beach
Road, what is proposed.
3. Discussion of April 30th Special Meeting set by the Parks
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission
Lambert spoke to the upcoming special meeting of the Parks, Recreation
& Natural Resources Commission to be held April 30th for the purpose
of selecting a committee to evaluate the interest of the community
regarding a park bond issue for purposes of capital improvements.
The Commission would like the committee to know the Council
supports this procedure. Lambert commented the committee will
come back before the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission
before they make a final recommendation on a bond referendum.
,( Ulstad asked that the Council submit names of people they would like
l., to see serve on this committee.
Council members expressed their support of the procedure, with the
exception of Osterholt who did not agree with the approach.

VII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion of the Airport extension
Edstrom stated he felt the Council owed it to. the Flying Cloud Airport Advisory
Commission to consider some action on the Commission' s recommendation, even
if that action may be contrary to his position.
Osterholt explained the ultimate concern is for safety for the people living
around the airport as well as those using the airport. Further that people.
knowledgeable in this have come to the conclusion that the extension of the
southerly east/west runway (running the traffic pattern over the Minnesota
River area) is the most desirable method of accomplishing this and certain
Federal safety improvements could not be made on the north runway because of
the close proximity to the hangers. For those reasons,Osterholt conrnented,
he would be in favor and supports the report and findings given by the
Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission. He also expressed concern that the
jet traffic does not increase at the airport and would like to see some way to
control that.

Cloud Airport operations, and direct the Flying Cloud Airport Advisory
Commission to look into same. Motion carried unanimously.

MEMO:
TO: Metropolitan Airports Commission
ATTN: Claude Schmidt
FROM: Eden Prairie City Council
DATE: April 17, 1979
Eden Prairie has discussed with M.A.C. representatives in the past
the following improvements which could be of mutual benefit to the
Flying Cloud Airport and to the community, that M.A.C. could help with:
1 . A small amount of right-of-way from M.A.C. property at the intersection
of Highway 169 and C.S.A.H. 1 is necessary to implement improvements.
Frovision of this right-of-way by M.A.C. will help assure the improvement,
` which will provide safer access to the airport and the coma umity.
2. Safety at Flying Cloud Airport could be improved through the construction
and staffing of afire station by M.A.G. The community could also be well
served in the immediate area from this station.
3. M.A.C. support of the construction of Highway 212 would be beneficial -
and help eliminate traffic safety problems on U.S. 169 and Highway 5 and
benefit both the airport and the community.
M.A.C. ' s participation in these projects will greatly enhance Flying Cloud
Airport as a good and responsible business neighbor in the community.

Dear Mayor Penzel:
The Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce established an Aviation Committee
In 1973. The objectives of this committee are several, including the
identification of specific issues related to the airport, the research
of those issues as they may affect the community, and the dissemination
of information about Flying Cloud Airport.
The Aviation Committee has studied and given careful consideration to
the proposed runway extension project at Flying Cloud Airport. The
Board of Directors of the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce have been
thoroughly briefed on this issue by the Aviation Committee.
The. Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce supports the position voted by the
Flying Cloud Advisory Commission of Eden Prairie on March 22, 1979 to
approve the extension of the south parallel runway (9R-27L) at Flying
Cloud Airport.
We believe that this project is in the best interest of Eden Prairie.
We sincerely request that you give favorable consideration to this item.
