VI , PUBLIC HEARINGS
"+ A. LEN SWEDLUND ^& REPUBLIC SUPPLY COMIPANY . Request for Preliminary Plat of
14 acres into three (3) lots of approximately 4 ,6 acres for single family
detached homes. Location: south of Riley Lake Road and east of the
Carver/Hennepin County boundary. (Resolution No. 83-158 - preliminary plat)
City tanager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been published
and property owners in the project vicinity had been notified.
Greg Frank., McCombs-Knutson Associates , representing the nrnnnnent . addressed 'x
the request. Also present were Len Swedlund and Rita Lukes representing
Republic Supply Co.
Director of Planning Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed this
request at it May 23 , 1983, meeting and aclain on June 6., 1983, At the June
6th meeting th? Commission voted to recommend approval to the Council on a
vote of 3-2-1 . The Plannina Staff had recommended denial of the preliminary
plat (see Staff Report of May 20, 1983, )
Director of Community Services Lambert said there was no report from the
Parks , Recreation & Natural Resources Commission.
Redpath asked where the lots lines would be in relation to the existing
homestead. Enger said two lots of equal size would not be possible.
Penzel asked if this would be a reasonable variance under the new provision
4Lof the Code. Redpath said he felt the Council should accept the recommendation
of Staff. Tannen said he was in opposition to the plat at the time it came
before the Connission he was on prior to his election to the Council . He said
he felt the proponent was delayed by the action or inaction of the City. He
said he can see both sides of the issue and would favor going with the request
of the proponent at this time. Redpath said he felt Staff should be able to
work with the proponent a while longer on this to come up with the best solu-
tion. Frank noted the complications due to bankruptcy proceedings which resulteds
in not filing the necessary papers which would have replatted this a year ago.
Penzel noted a letter (attached) from Mrs . Elaine M. Jacques in support of
the request.
There were no comments from the audience,
Jullie stated the Board of Appeals would have to review this proposal as
there are variances which would be necessary whether it were divided into
two or three lots .
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue this matter to
the August 2, 1983 , meeting and instruct the proponent to work with Staff
with the intent that the number of variances necessary would be reduced,
Motion carried unanimously.
Enger noted this matter was scheduled to be heard by the Board of Appeals
this week. The concensus was the Council would like to hear what the reaction
of the Board was to the variances requested,

City Manager Jullie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been published
and notices had been mailed to property owners listed on the preliminary
assessment roll .
Director of Public Works Dietz addressed the feasibility report.
i
Harland Gregor, Amoco Oil , said they would like to see the project begin
as soon as possible.
Ken Bi ersdorf, representing the Uherkas , had a question regarding the
deferment of assessments . Dietz said the assessments would come due on 's
taxes payable in the Spring of 1985, The assessments would be spread over
a 17-year period.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public Hearing G
and to adopt Resolution No. 83-153, ordering improvements and preparation

C . JAME_S REFRIGERATION. Request for Zoning from Rural to Office for 2. 16 acres
for anYoff ce building. Location; southwest corner of Shady Oak Road and
Highway 169. (Ordinance No. 31-83 - Zoning)
City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing was published and
mailed to property owners within the project vicinity,
Charles James, proponent, reviewed the proposal explaining significant
site and design features of the project.
Director of Planning Enger stated this item had been reviewed by the Planning
Commission at its June 6 , 1983, meeting at which time it voted (4-2-0) to
reconunend approval of the request subject to the recommendations contained
in the Staff Report of June 3, 1983, and according to written materials dated
May 3, 1983, and May 6, 1983, and with the addition of the conditions as
noted in the Minutes of the June 6, 1983, Commission meeting.
This proposal was not reviewed by the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
Commission .
Penzel asked about the landscaping of the back driveway ,_ James explained
what was proposed.
Tangen expressed concern about the height of the building and wondered what
buildings would be of comparable size. Enger said this would be a five-story
building comparable to Cabriole Center (4 stories) and Gelco (5 stories . )
Enger noted that there are 1 , 2 and 3 story buildings proposed for City West.
Tangen said he felt a five story building would be out of character for this
area. Penzel said he did not have difficulty with the height of the building;
( he felt this was an appropriate location for a building of this type. James
C
r !�= -C-
ui -y ��c.J n c i 1 �� nut.e s l.. Jury 6 19 3
said they had been vrorki ng on the building proposal for 18 months =irrd had
six archi tec-.ura 1 firms submit proposals before selecting this one. He
said he feels they have a high quality proposal on an unusual site. He
that the floor area ratio of this proposal is below the maximum allo,:fed .
Arrangements have been made with Wooddale Baptist Church whereby their res"ec-
tive lots can be used for overflow parking. Redpath said he likes the looks
of the building ; he feels the aesthetics must be considered. Tangen said
he thought it was a nice looking building but has a problem with the height;
there is nothing around to complement it; the site is not large enough .
Jerry Steelman, 6601 Golden Ridge Drive,. said he is concerned about the
height of the building,
Warren Gerecke, 6622 Golden Ridge Drive , said he would be happier if a
bank were located in this location and the remaining office space were to
be located elsewhere. He felt it was an attractive design but the site is
too corrrpa c t.
James said he would not object to having the hearing continued to August
2, 1983, so further work might be done to illustrate what other types of
buildings might go on this site. Redpath said he would like to see some
designs of four story buildings with the mechanical equipment on the roof
(the proposed building does not have the mechanical equipment on the roof. )
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Redpath , to continue the Public Hearing
to August 2, 1983, to allow the proponent additional time to work with Staff
on designs for a building of less than five stories. Motion carried unanimously
D. REMBRA.NDT_ RIDGE by Neil A. Lewis and Associates. Request for Zoning from
Rural to R 1-1 . 5 and Preliminary Plat of 10.4 acres for 19 single family
residential lots . Location: east of 168th Avenue 'West and south of Chatham
Woods. (Ordinance No. 32-83 - zoning and Resolution No. 83-159 - preliminary
Plat. )
City Manager Juliie stated notice of this Public Hearing had been published
and property owners within the project vicinity had been notified.
Neil Lewis , proponent, spoke to the request.
Planning Director Enger said the Planning Commission had reviewed this
proposal at its June 6, 1983, meeting at which time it voted to recommend
approval subject to the recommendations included in the Staff Report of
June 3, 1983, and additional recommendation that an 8' asphalt hikeway/
bikeway be constructed along the east side of 168th Street from the inter-
section of North Manor Road south to the property line of Rembrandt Ridge
Estates Addition -- to be linked to the existing trail to the south when that
property is developed .

the addition of a 5' concrete sidewalk along the east side of 169th Street
from the intersection of North 'Manor Road to the north property line.
Redpath asked if any provision had been made for connecting this area to
the area to the east. Enger said it might be possible to connect this with
the Timber Creek project when that is undertaken.
i I
Penzel asked about the drainage issue. Dietz said the proponent' s engineer
is working on resolution of that problem.
Penzel noted a letter of June 28, 1983 , from Stephen and Millie Schultz
of 6-190 - 168th Avenue nest (r-p attached) expressing their concerns about
the proposal .
Lynn Lysinger, 16756 Whittington Walk, said she would like the Council to
defer action on this proposal until the engineering report regarding the
drainage issue is complete.
Redpath asked how a storm drainage project in this are would be assessed.
Jullie said there would be a public hearing on the project and it would
be assessed in the same manner other public improvement projects are.
Mark Woessner, 16840 North Manor Road , said he was concerned about the
traffic and would like the City to consider ways in which to control the
traffic.
The Council discussed various ways in which drainage assessments might
be assessed -- whether on an area--wide or neighborhood basis. Discussion
also centered on the amount of traffic on West 168th Street and whether or
not there was a need for additional stop signs at this time .
Lambert stated a tat lot will be developed on the west side of 168th Street
as soon as the City receives the deed to the property. There will be a neigh-
borhood park on Duck Lake Trail with a trail connection to 168th Street.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson , to close the Public Hearing
and to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 32-83. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Tangen, to adopt Resolution No. 83-159,

also to be included is a drainage plan. Motion carried unanimously.

A. Request from Terry_Do_uglas �ardin Land Alteration Permit. Location:
north of US 169', west of Eden Prai ri a Road - Minnesota River Bluffs
Area. (Continued from June 7, 1983)
City Manager Jullie reviewed this request for a land alteration permit.
He called attention to a June 29, 1983, memorandum regarding the Douglas
Driveway/Beverly Drive Extension which was prepared by the Engineering
Department.
Terry Douglas , proponent, noted a letter of June 9 , 1983, addressed
to the City Council and City Manager.
Penzel said he was impressed by the Douglas letter which quoted and showed
z:nc� �Q^a of laws but yet showed no knowledge of the Slope Ordinance. Penzel
said he would have liked to know the basis for the need of the road as well
as the criteria Douglas was willing to meet to have the road built. Douglas
said these issues were outlined in a letter of June 9, 1983. Penzel said
he would like to have these issues enumerated so each Council member could
hear the same thing at the same time ; so a common understanding might come
about. Douglas said the State contract , allowing access onto TH 169, outlined
what has to be done -- this included grading of the sides , mulching, etc ..
Penzel asked if it wouldn' t be better if these bluff properties were served
from the north rather than from the bluff' s side.
Redpath said he felt it would be wise to improve the easement rather than
to spend money on the bluff' s road. He said he has always thought that access
to these bluff properties would come from the north rather than from the
bluff' s side. Douglas said one part of the road easement he has drops off
very sharply and would be very costly to fill , He stated, "If the City wants
the property, they can buy the property. "
Penzel asked Douglas if he would be willing to Wffa-nit in writing to abandon
the driveway to TH 169 at the time there is a public road providing access
from the north. Douglas said he would not put that in writing although he
probably would use Beverly Drive. Redpath said that someday there will be
a road through there and in the meantime the bluff is being eroded; he is
not in favor of this. Anderson said he has strong feelings in regard to
preserving the bluffs. Penzel said while he doesn 't like the situation, the
parameters placed on the request might make the situation palatable. Tangen
said the bluff cannot be restored so the Council might consider allowing the
driveway with conditions.

i
City Co-'r,ci l "i mutes -9- July 5 , 1983
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Redpath, to approve the driveway with
the provision that prior to issuance of the permit Douglas will agree, in
writing, to the following conditions : the driveway will be hard surfaced,
the shoulders will be restored, and access to TH 169 will be eliminated
once there is public access from the north. Motion carried with Anderson
voting "no. "
Douglas said he had a statement to leave with the Council (see attached. )
}
B. LEE DATA by_ _Opus Corporation, Request for Registered Land Survey of
- -mately 0.4 arras to provide secondary access to Lee Data from
i,est 7Oth Street. Location: west of West 70th Street adjacent to Lee
Data and Shady Oak Industrial Park 5th Addition. (Resolution No. 83-157 -
Registered Land Survey)
This item was removed from the Agenda at the request of the proponent.
C. TARGET, Request for Site Plan Review for Retail Service Use, location:
-ast of Highway 169, north of Prairie Center Drive.
City Manager Jullie stated the Planning Commission had reviewed this request
and had concurred with the recommendations of the Planning Staff Report of
June 24, 1983. He noted the Commission had recommended that grading and land
preparation of the site could proceed, but that the proponents return to the
Planning Corrunission for further review of the site plans, screening and
landscaping plans, prior to Council approval .
Homart Development, Chica o, introduced Phil McCowen manager
4L
Joe Linnaine, 9
of the Eden Prairie Center, Ed Seikus , project engineer for Homart , Dick
Brooks, regional real estate manager for Target , Bert Schacter, director
of architecture for Target, Mike Moormann, project architect, and. Dale
Hamilton, Suburban Engineering, project consultant. Linnaine addressed {
the history of the center and what is proposed, Hamilton spoke to the
specifics of the proposal . Schacter discussed two issues which were
raised by the Planning Commission : the design of the rooftop mechanical
equipment and the outside building materials. He asked that these issues
be resolved at another time.
Planning Director Enger restated the Planning Commission had reviewed the
site plan and recommended the City Council approve the site plan so work
might begin on the pad, subject to the recommendations included in the Staff
Report of June 24, 1983,
Redpath said this would be a good addition to the Center and noted that
Homart has been a good neighbor in the community, Tangen concurred and
said he felt the Planning Commission was looking into the right areas
regarding this proposal , Penzel said he wondered about the appropriateness
of a one-story addition to the shopping center; he, felt is was at variance
with the nature of the existing center and would prefer something which was
more compatible. Penzel said he hoped the issues raised by the Commission
,b
City Council Minutes -IO- July 5, 10 3
more compatible. Penzel said he hoped the issues raised by the Planning
Commission could be resolved promptly noting that he had reservations about
committing to something before these issues are resolved. Enger said the
Planning Commission has scheduled a special meeting for July 18, 1983, at
which time it will review the unresolved issues. Redpath felt all measures
would be taken by the developer and the proponent to insure the quality which
the Eden Prairie Center now represents.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Tangen , to grant approval to go ahead
with preparation of the pad and site alteration based on the concept plan
as submi Lted by 'f arise,t, i lot iui1 Cai r 1 ed u—It u11i;:wu-12o.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Redpath, to direct the Planning Staff and
the Planning Commission to proceed with negotiations with Homart and Target
in the manner in which they have been so doing, Motion carried unanimously.
Schacter said Target is very concerned about presenting a good image and will
work hard to resolve the aesthetics issues.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Anderson, to continue the meeting beyond the 11:30
p.m. deadline. Motion carried unanimously.
D. SHtRATON INN. Request for Amendment to Developer' s Agreement.
Ron Krank, architect for the project, addressed the request. Krank was
representing Paul Thomas, developer. He reviewed the proposed modifications
to the design concept.
John Shardlow, Howard Dahlgren and Associates , presented the detailed land-
scape plan and grading proposal.
Penzel said he would like to see the planting area in the center of the
parking lot included in the revised proposal .
Director of Planning Enger noted the change in the landscaping plan is
a major rather than a minor change; the landscaping has been cut by 50%.
He said there were many variances involved with this project; one of the
major elements of the proposal was the landscaping which had been proposed.
Enger suggested the original plan be implemented minus the changes required
by the relocation of parking due to the different configuration of the build-
ing or retaining the original plan along the Glen Road frontage and allowing
the proposed plan along the south and west perimeters. Shardlow compared
the dollar amounts in the landscaping which was proposed and which is in the
revised plan. Krank stated the new plan attempts to entice people to the
building by opening up the sight lines to it from TH 1.69.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to grant the request for
the amendment to the Developer' s Agreement and to work with Director of
Planning Enger on the landscaping plan (plus or minus 25%, to be accomplished
as soon as possible) .
C i tv Council "i routes -I1- July 5, 1983
Tancen said he would like to see trees added to the parking lot; he said he
felt ;here vioul d be some value in being able to see a part of the building
from Hich.:ay 159. He noted that modification of the landscape plan might
have been too severe along Glen Road and a compromise should be worked out.
He felt a 25% reduction in landscaping materials could be allowed. Krank
said they would not be able to get in the number of trees which they showed
in previous plans. Herb Margolis, project consultant, said the changes came
about as the result of cost considerations . Fenzel said the 25% reduction
should only be a general guide. +.
VOTE ON MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
E. EASEMENT FOR EDENDALE RETIREMENT CENTER
i
City Attorney Pauly explained the need for the easement over a private
street so that it will become a public street. This is necessary so the
project can be financed. Planning Director Enger said the church has
some questions regarding the easement and these are being worked out
to their satisfaction.
MOTION: Redpath moved , seconded by Anderson, to authorize Staff to approve a
the easement agreement which will be necessary for the Edendal a Retirement
Center. Motion carried unanimously.
