view on 34.92 acres , Zoning District Change from Rural to
R1 -13 .5 on 9 .58 acres and From Rural to RM-6 .5 , with

na.nce #12-86 , PUD District and Rezoning; Resolution #86-49,
Preliminary Plat ) Continued From March 25 , 1986
City Manager Jullie noted this request was continued
from the March 25th meeting of the City Council .
Mr. Mike Gair of Gair and Associates, representing the
proponents , addressed the proposal .
Planning Director Enger noted that this project was first
reviewed by the Planning Commission at its January 27th
meeting at which time it was continued to the February 24th
meeting to allow time for revision to address concerns
raised by the Commission and. Staff. He noted that the
question of density transfer off the central lowlands
area was of particular concern to the Planning Commission.
Enger stated that, at its February 24th meeting, the
Planning Commission on a 6-0 vote recommended approval
of the Guide Plan change from low density residential to
medium density residential and, •on'"a 4-2 vote , recommended
approval of the rezoning requests and preliminary plat ,
subject to the recommendations of the Staff Reports of
January 24 and February 21 , 1986 .
Enger also noted that the Park, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission also reviewed the project and were
particularly concerned with the preservation of the pond
area. The Commission suggested that the road be moved to
accommodate the pond area. Enger said that the proponent
then further revised the plan -to completely save the pond
area, as shown on the most recent drawing of the proposal .
Redpath asked about the status of the Chain-of-Lakes y
drainage study. Director of Public Works Dietz responded
l I'
y
41
City Council Minutes -4- April 15 . 1986
that the Watershed District has completed the study and
a report is due soon that will specify the proposed solu-
tion for interconnecting the lakes and will include a
cost estimate for the project .
Redpath asked about the status of the decision on com-
pleting Dell Road . Dietz responded that , while Chanhassen
has a funding mechanism, the potential impact of the Hwy 5
realignment may result in a proposal this summer for an
interim measure dealing with the Dell Road/Hwy 5 matter.
Bentley asked about the area to the west of the project
being zoned I-General . Enger replied that some of the
area to the west will be developed as some type of multi-
residential . Bentley then asked about the need for addi-
tional screening or berming to the west of the project for
the benefit of the residents and if it would be appropriate
to take action to initiate rezoning from I-General to
rural for the area to the west .
Bentley asked about the existence of an outlet for the
pond and if it was adequate for overflow conditions .
Bentley asked Mr. Gair about the purchase of the lowland
area . A discussion of the density transfer question
followed Bentley noted that he felt density transfer was
a significant issue and that he would be much happier with F
density transfer than with a Guide Plan change . Peterson
noted that proponent is no longer requiring the density
transfer concept .
Anderson asked who had seen the revised plan so far since
it had just been redone . He emphasized the need to have
the plans available to the public for their. reaction.
Anderson asked about the existence of a tree inventory. s
Enger said there was one . Pidcock asked about the plans
for the trees . Mr . Gair pointed out the location of trees
to be saved on the plans and said that 590 of the trees
would be preserved . A discussion of tree preservation
followed .
Mr. Don Uden, 7530 Atherton Way, presented a petition
from area residents. (Attachment A ) Peterson asked if the
petition had been circulated prior to the current plan
revision. Mr. Uden said it had been circulated before
the latest revision. Mr. Uden showed slides of the area .
A photograph of the pond area was circulated among the
c ounc i lmembers . (Attachment B)

City Council Minutes -5- April 15 . 1986
Mr . Chris Geason , 7470 Atherton Way, expressed his con-
cern about the hazards of increased traffic . He also }
noted that it would be necessary for residents of the
project to drive through a low density residential area
9'
to get to a medium density area .
Mr. Dick Thon, 7550 Atherton Way, expressed his concern
with the impact the project would have on the area ,
particularly the grading in the pond area . He noted the
potential of cracking the seal and causing the pond to
drain.
Mr. Rod Olsen, 7610 Heritage Road . distributed a list of
residents ' concerns regarding the project . a map and a
marked copy of Chapter 11 of the City Code . (Attachment C )
He stated the need for assurances to the property owners
adjoining the pond area as to what effect the changes to
the pond will have on their property. He also expressed
concern about the lack of planned amenities for the neigh-
borhood causing increased use of the Round Lake facilities .
Mr. Mike Derickson, 7491 Atherton Way, noted his concern
about changes in the pond and about traffic in the area,
particularly on Evener Way. He also noted his concern
about preserving the unique wildlife in the area .
Mr. Jim Brost , 17431 Evener Way, stated that his greatest
concern is with the density issue , that property owners
had purchased in the area with the assumption that the
area to the west would remain low density. He also ques-
tioned the impact of multi-family units on Eden Prairie' s
sewer allotments . Planning Director Enger said that the
agreement with the Metropolitan Council calls for the City
not to exct:tml a c;zrtain amount of sewer flow by the year
2000, based on population estimates . Enger said it could
be a problem if the population growth exceeds the estimates
for the year 2000 .
Ms Mary Bissen, 17613 Lorene Way, commented on her dis-
satisfaction with the proposed multi-family project .
Mr. Hal Yeager, 17609 Lorence Way, stated his concern
with one very large oak tree on his property that is
threatened by the proposed sewer routing.
Mr. Eugene Peterson, 7443 Hames Way, commented on the
potential problems with drainage into Round Lake from the
surrounding developments . He suggested that a storm sewer
City Council Minutes -6 April 15 , 1986
fee be charged to developers to avoid the cost of the
Chain-of-Lakes proposal being passed on to the taxpayers .
Mr . Rod Olsen stated his concern with the multi-unit
development trend creating a wide range of property
values in the area .
Pidcock asked about the adequacy of roads in the area
and if there were alternate ways to get into the project .
Director of Public Works Dietz commented that Evener Way
will probably be the primary traffic conduit in view of
its location and construction as a collector-type facility.
Pidcock asked about the impact of the pond area on existing
property. Dietz noted that he would not recommend moving
the pond closer to the existing homes on the east . Discus-
sign of disturbing the seal of the pond and extending the
pond area followed .
Dietz said it would be possible to determine the effects of
enlarging the pond as well as whether the seal would be
broken by excavation . Peterson said that any approval of
the project should be contingent on the determination of 3
the effects of enlarging the pond area. Anderson noted
his primary concern was that consideration be given to
area residents ` reactions to the extension of the pond .
He recommended that the project be returned to Staff for
more consideration of the density and pond development
issues .
Bentley noted that density transfer has never been used as
a subsidy for developers, but rather as a common devel'opagnt
*' tool for the City of Eden Prairie . He also stated his s
concern about the stability of the pond and the pond outlet ,
particularly in regard to the potential for flooding. He
then stated that he believed it is a very good project and
that it makes a good transition.
MOTION: Pidcock moved , seconded by Anderson, to continue
this item to the May 6th meeting of the City Council to
allow time for staff to review the questions regarding the
pond area and the question of densit-, transfer. Motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Olsen asked that the area residents be ke pt informed
of developments in the project until the May 6th meeting.
Anderson noted that he believes it is important to have
staff investigate the best use of the major floodplain area
before any more decisions are made on it .

t
Mr . Vince Dirlam of Dirlam Development , the developers of j
the project , addressed the proposal.

by the Planning Commission at its March 24th meeting.
On 7-0 votes the Commission recommended approval of the
PUD amendment and the rezoning; from rural to R1 -13 .5 k
Zoning District Change as well as the Preliminary Plat .
subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report dated
March 21st . Recommendations in the Staff Report included
revising the Preliminary Plat so that the entire project
could be rezoned to R1 -13 .5 and including trails along the
north and west .
Pidcock asked about the planned location of the trails
and what the street na-me would be . Anderson asked about
how the trails would fit into the existing trailway system- I
Enger pointed out the trail system on the plans .
Mr. Rod Olsen, 7610 Heritage Road , asked about plans for
both a sidewalk and a pathway system. Mr. Dirlam said it
would be path only. Mr . Olsen then expressed his concern
about the effect of construction traffic on the existing
streets . Enger mentioned that there is an existing drive-
way off Hwy 5 that might serve for construction traffic .
Director of Public Works Dietz noted that a bond probably
would be required for possible damage from construction
traffic because the neighborhood streets are posted for
four ton only.
Mr. Bob Wagner. 7450 Hames Way, suggested that the two
developers , Donnay and Dirlam, could share the expense of
building an access road for the construction traffic .

from the March 25th meeting of the City Council .

nant would restrict a commercial use for no greater than

D . TOUCH OF CLASS INTERIORS by Kate and Craig Halverson.
Request for Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from Low
Density Residential to Office, and Zoning District Change
from Rural to Office for an interior design studio .
Location: Southwest quadrant of County Roads #1 and #18 .
(Resolution #86-50, Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment ;
Ordinance ##14-85 , Rezoning) Continued from March 25 , 1986
City Manager Jullie noted that this item had been con-
tinued from the March 25 , 1986, meeting of the City
Council .
Ms Kate Halverson and Mr. Fred Hoisington addressed the
proposal .
Planning Director Enger noted that the Planning Commission,
after considering the item at both their February 10 and
February 24, 1986 , meetings, recommended the denial of
the request for a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from
Low Density Residential to Office . He also noted that the
Planning Commission was not convinced that the best future
use of the property would be as an office.
Enger called attention to the Staff Reports of February 7
and February 21 , 1986, that reviewed the proposal . He
also reviewed the use planned for the surrounding proper-
ties in Bloomington and Eden Prairie and the current
plans for upgrading County Road ,#18 .
Enger further noted that the Planning Commission was
sympathetic to the existing use of the property but
realized that issuing an Interim Use Permit for use as
an office would require an amendment to the City Code .
Bentley asked about the expected road alignments in the
area and possible commercial areas created in the front- y
age areas . A discussion of road alig.=ent and the develop-
went of neighborhood commercial areas Followed .
Pidcock questioned the possible pressures created on the
only office in a commercial area. Enger noted that the
pressures at the intersection would be primarily commer-
cial with service-type offices .
Peterson said that he felt there had to be compelling
reason in order to change the Comprehensive Guide Plan.
I
City Council Minutes -10- April 15 , 1986
He noted that the best use of the land may not be deter-
mined until the road alignment issue is resolved , thus
he felt that the concept of an interim use of the property
might be the best solution.
Bentley reiterated that an interim use permit would
require a Code change and commented that such a permit
might open a "Pandora's box . He asked why the Guide
Plan change had become such an issue in view of the very
small proportion of the total project requested as office
space . He mentioned past examples of multi-family areas
becoming mixed use areas.
Redpath expressed his concern for the Munsons if Che
interim use permit is approved .
Peterson asked w::at the potential acreage in the area
for office development would be . Enger said that the f
immediate area would be about 2 .5 acres or about 30 ,000
square feet , but he felt the potential for the surroun-
ding area was quite a bit more .
t
Redpath asked about the possibility of a letter of intent
( from the Halversons to show that they do not plan to
enlarge the existing office area . Ms Halverson said
that they would agree to that .
Enger noted that , after conferring with City Attorney
Pauly, there could be no vote by the Council on the
zoning issue because the Planning Commission had acted
only to deny the request to change the Comprehensive
Guide Plan and had not acted on the zoning request .
Bentley asked about the possibility of referring the
issue back to the Planning Commission for another review
of the Comprehensive Guide Plan change and the rezoning
issue and continuing the item to the next City Council
meeting.
MOTION: Bentley moved , seconded by Anderson, that the
issue be continued until the April 29th meeting of the
City Council to allow further review by the Planning
Commission and staff. Motion carried with Peterson voting

B . High School Athletic Field Development
City Manager Jullie noted this item is a recommendation
from the Park, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission
to approve the development plan of the athletic fields
on school property and to consider assisting the School
District with the project by contributing $50,000 to the
construction costs . The Commission further recommended
that the funds be taken from cash park fees .
Jullie noted the memorandum from Director. of Community
Services Lambert dated April 2 , 1986 , that reviewed the
proposed development and included a copy of a letter of
explanation dated March 26, 1986, sent to Round Lake Park
area residents .
Mr . Paul Fjare reviewed the proposed development .
Anderson asked why there was no gate in the proposed
fence to allow for retrieval of balls . Fjare replied
that it was to restrict parking along North Hillcrest
Court . Anderson suggested that "No Parking" signs could
be used to restrict parking.
John Pollock , II1, 16420 No Hillcrest Ct . , stated that
he was representing 27 neighbors in the area. He noted
his main concern was with the city usage of the fields ,
not the School District usage , in that he believed the
city usage would be more intensive than the school 's
would be . He also noted concern for the potential prob-
lems with lighted fields and "No Parking- signs restricting
the residents ' parking. He said that they would like some
kind of plan for use including a definition of hours and
the age groups expected to use the fields .
Anderson noted the long-standing policy to work jointly
with the School District to get maximum use of the ath-
letic fields and recreation facilities .

Mr . John Pollock, 16460 No. Hillcrest Ct. , noted his
concern about the proposed development causing noise
and traffic problems like those at Round Lake . He also
was concerned about the more intense use as a city facil-
ity and the potential use of alcoholic beverages on the
fields .
Anderson noted that the use of alcoholic beverages is
prohibited on school property. A discussion of the age 4
groups that would be using the facilities and control
of the use of alcoholic beverages on the facilities
followed . Anderson said that he believed the Council
should not put restrictions on the School ' s property.
Pidcock stated that she is opposed to building all ath-
letic fields rather than other recreation facilities .
Further discussion of the fence and gate question ensued .
Peterson requested that Mr. Fjare pursue the fence issue
with the School District .
