Jullie_ reported that notice of this Public Hearing was
published in the October 4 , 1989. issue of the Eden
Prairie News and sent to owners of 43 surrounding
properties . Jullie stated that the Planning Commission
recommended approval of this proposal at its September
22 , 1989 meeting . The commission called for
K
elimination of one lot and further recommended that 2nd
Reading of the Rezoning Ordinance and Final Plat
approval not occur until the contract for the extension
of the new Mitchell Road has been awarded. The Parks ,
Recreation & natural Resources Commission also
recommended Approval at its October 6 , 1989 meeting .
It recommended a variety of pedestrian access
facilities depending upon the roadway system approved
by the Council .
Bob Smith of Krueger & Associates was g present at the
meeting to review the proposal . Me presented the report
and indicated the revisions that had been made in
accordance with the recommendation of the Planning
Commission .
Enger referred to the Planning Commission report of
September 25 , 1989 . The commission reviewed and
recommended approval of the project subject to
recommendations of a staff report of September 22 with
the clarification that Corral Lane end in a cul-de-sac
at Lot 27 and that one lot be removed from the proposed
subdivision reducing the lotting from 13 to 12 . Staff
recommendations were detailed in the September 22 , 1989
report .
Tenpas asked when the connection to construct Mitchell
Road to County Road 1 would be completed . Dietz replied
that the feasibility nearing would be held this winter.
Harris understood the recommendation was to have a cul-
de-sac rather than a connection to Mitchell Road and
asked for rationale . Enger replied the Planning
Commission was concerned about the traffic shortcutting
through Eden Hills neighborhood . The Planning
Commission 's recommendation and preference was not to
connect through. Anderson asked if it had been the
, 4
City Council Minutes October 17 , 1989
policy to eliminate long cul-de-sacs because of the
problem emergency vehicles have turning around . Enger
agreed that this has been the general policy.
Anderson asked if there were a plan for a trailway
system for pedestrians . Enger replied there are plans
for trails .
Anderson asked for the advantages and disadvantages to
the City to change this plan . Enger replied there was :
no access to Mitchell Road now and if the City wanted ,
it could acquire additional lakeshore and provide
access to Red Rock Lake, which could be an advantage .
Another advantage was having the road closer to the
lake would preclude lots from development and the
ability to view the lake would then exist .
a
Pidcock asked who owned lot 31 on the north end of
Corral Lane . Smith said the lot is owned by one
particular resident but used by all residents . Pidcock
believed that if the existing plat were changed , the
neighbors would lose that access.
Anderson stated that changing what had already been
platted in that area would make the lots more valuable .
Tenpas asked if the City had access to the lake in the
original plat . Enger replied no . Smith commented that
the present location was very low and there isn' t any
view into the lake .
Smith pointed out that aesthetically , his proposal
would provide a better lay out of the road . The
developer had offered that the beach lot be dedicated
to the City as an access for the City. Harris asked
Smith if there were an interest to preserve the public
access and said she still had a problem with the cul-
de-sac on Corral Lane . Harris preferred there be a
connection to Mitchell Road. Smith informed Harris the
plan given to the Planning Commission had a connection
available to exiting traffic only. The Planning
Commission found it was lens advantageous . From a
privacy standpoint , the neighborhood did not want
through traf f is . Anderson asked what the distance
would be for new homeowners going to the high school .
He also asked for directions to get on County Road 4 .
Anderson commented that it added a distance of another
mile of travel .
Jim Zachman , the developer of the proposed subdivision ,
5
i
City Council :Minutes October 17 , 1989
said existing traffic would not go around the
neighborhood and thought it would be costly to open it .
Smith stated that an entrance monument , illumination ,
sidewalk and landscaping totalling; $50 , 000 were planned
for the project .
Tenpas commented that it made more sense to dedicate
the area to homeowners and the beach access would be
there for existing and new homeowners. Anderson
disagreed with the private beach concept and disliked
private beaches on public water. Peterson said the
neighbors have a private beach now. Smith commented
there is a five-acre park at Boulder Pointe and there
will be a sidewalk to access the beach.
Floyd Hagen, 15802 Cedar Ridge Road, had two main
points to emphasize. The first was that the Eden Hills
property- owners were unified in their position and
objected to any traffic increase on Corral Lane . Also,
the owners objected to any plan that would terminate
their direct access to their common recreational
area/beach access property. Present residents bought
their property assuming the current platted location of
a Corral Lane extension to the recreational lot to be
used by Eden Hills residents . The Eden Hills
Recreational Association was set up in the covenants to
manage the entire area for the Eden Hills members.
Hagen believes the neighborhood was unique and the
homeowners association was established to manage the
lots and lake access . The only access to the lake has
been maintained by residents ; the association
emphasized the reasons to keep access restricted to
Corral Lane.
Virginia Gartner, 15701 Cedar Ridge Road, said she
thought about children and traffic and also understood
the problems facing emergency vehicles; she believed
the real hazard was the intersection of Cedar Ridge
Road and County Road 4 . The traffic now was a disaster
and she has had to stop walking in this area in the
morning . If all traffic made the short-cut , it would be
a real disaster. She liked people to see the lake, but
residents wouldn ' t drive to see the lake at the cul-de-
sac . She believed it was a better design to terminate
Corral Lane and urged the Council to not connect the
two.
Kent Barker , 15801 Cedar Ridge Road , commended Zachman
and Associates for its attempts to discuss this issue .
6
City Council Minutes October 17 , 1989
He believed the community should have the right and
expectation to rely upon the plats which have been in
existence for years . He thought the proposal adversely
impacted the access to the recreation and beach area.
fie said nothing in the plat created the need for a cul-
de-sac . The neighborhood was strongly opposed to a
fundamental alteration which would result in increased
safety- hazards , noise , pollution , and traffic volume .
Barker said density was played with in the proposal . He
was hopeful the Council would continue to honor a plat
upon which a neighborhood and community has relied for
its development . He further hoped that same community
could retain its value which would be damaged in
safety , pollution, congestion and financially should
there be such alterations as the cul-de-sac being
removed . He would like to see the plan redrafted for 2
the benefit of all residents .
G
Tenpas asked Hagen if there was a 20 ' easement from the
outlot to the lake . Hagen said that was correct .
Tenpas then inquired where the beach was. Hagen said
the beach is on the 20 ' area, .
Pidcock asked Enger how many times had a platted area
been proposed with a new plat. Enger replied this has
happened several times. The Staring Lane area was an
example and another area was across from Flying Cloud
fields . He said there have been many situations where
R1-22 lots that have come in for subdivisions have been
replatted.
Tenpas asked what was the longest length of cul-de-sac
in Eden Prairie in the last five years . Enger replied
in Cardinal Creek Third Edition , he thought there had
been a mile-long cul-de-sac . Tenpas further asked if
platted today , would the City plat with a 2 , 000 ' cul-
de-sac . Enger said he didn' t think so. Tenpas said he
understood the arguments but believed the key issue to
be access to the park. Tenpas questioned if there
would be parking on the outlot. Smith replied that
only Eden Hills Homeowners Association members could
park there and the developer offered a beach lot to use
for parking . Tenpas perceived home values would be
increased with the access to the lake and park .
Peterson questioned if it would be feasible to connect
Corral Lane through as proposed and designed to provide
for alternatives without a substantial cost , should
traffic increase significantly. Enger replied Corral
7
i
City Council Minutes October 17 , 1989
Lane would have to be terminated now but a temporary
connection could be made until traffic patterns are
established. Tenpas asked if there were some type of
access for emergency vehicles, possibly a gate accessed
only by residents that might be used if a cul-de-sac
were built . It could be put in to limit traffic
problems and still keep an area open for parking .
Harris asked for a description of an access road.
Smith replied it would be a paved road 16 ' wide or
wider which wouldn ' t have curb or gutter.
5
Dietz stated he would prefer not to have a gate as it p
would be a source of confrontation in the neighborhoods .
He thought either the street should be connected or
not .
v
Peterson commented that no traffic studs had been done .
Dietz thought it could be five years before there is
enough information to measure impacts. Smith commented
that 1 ) Sandy Pointe Road would have the same beginning
and end as platted and the proposal created a balance
and pleasing design; 2 ) the proposal dropped one lot ;
3 ) the access could have one lane and a terminus ; 4 ) if
traffic increased on County Road 4 , it could create a
hazard but the street would not be wide enough to be
used as a cut through; 5 ) market studies showed
$300 , 000 to $1 million homes were possible which would
increase the value of surrounding properties ; 6 ) the
existing gravel road could increase accessibility to
the recreational lot ; and 7 ) the proposal met all
ordinances .
Zachman commented that he believed the neighborhood was
divided and most residents did not want the connection.
The neighbors preferred to drive around . He would
propose to fence off the area and construct a gate. He
hoped the low Lakeshore area would be dedicated to the
City .
Peterson asked Dietz if eastbound traffic would be
provided with a convenient alternative. Dietz replied
there would be a fair amount of traffic because of the
convenience , but the predominant problem is the work
trip destination; Mitchell Road would be a preferred
alternative route . Dietz did not perceive this as a
serious problem.
Ed '.Martin , 15810 Cedar Ridge Road, noted that to
8
l City Council Minutes October 17 , 1989
connect Corral Lane now the City would incur a much
greater expense to upgrade the street to handle the
traffic than just leaving it cut off.
Peterson asked if there were any plans to upgrade
Corral Lane when sewer and water come in. Dietz replied
that there was not at this time . Dietz told the
residents two things would drive improvements : 1 ) if
petitioned ; and 2 ) an ordinance which required analysis
of on-site sewage systems. Harris favored the plan
presented with the interesting design of the roadway.
Peterson► noted that the Council had received a letter
from Robert Gibson, 15737 Cedar Ridge , in which several
concerns and reasons to oppose the proposal were
related .
There were no further comments from the audience,
MOTION :
Harris moved, Tenpas seconded , to close the Public
Hearing and approve the 1st Reading of Ordinance No .
41-89 for Rezoning .
Anderson opposed the motion because by making the
roadway curvature and changes in the plans, the Council
was creating an opportunity to build on both sides of
the road and the land adjacent to the lake is non-
buildable. P
Peterson responded that the land on the old plat never
appeared on any park plan. The old plat did disservice
to the values expressed by homeowners to make smaller
lots . Peterson said the new design made a better
transition and much superior plan.
Pidcock also said she would vote no because the land
was platted and she did not see a good reason to change
it . Tenpas indicated support of the motion . Anderson
commented the people have lived there comfortably
since the 1950 ' s and the City talked about a trailway
system around the lake , but unfortunately that
connection was lost . Anderson said the plans were there
but were disposed of .
Smith expressed concern to replat the road and continue
this discussion. Pidcock stated that extending from
the southeast cul-de-sac through the Mason property did
not take care of the neighbors . Tenpas asked Smith to
9
{
I
3
Cit!- COUI1Cil Minutes October 17 , 1989
pursue the southeast road connection . Anderson asked
if it were possible to exit out to 'Mitchell Road.
Smith said there was no access to Mitchell Road on the
northeast side of the street .
Anderson cited examples for creating a long cul-de-sac .
Tenpas said the plat did not need changing . Anderson
preferred the original plat over the current proposal
r.
for various reasons . Pidcock did not want the a
proposal redesigned. Smith said two weeks would be
sufficient to redesign the plan. Pidcock asked if the
Planning Commission would have to review the plan if
substantial changes were made. Enger replied , yes , if
the changes were substantial . Tenpas inquired if the
plan came back in two weeks with a rezoning request ,
would it require a new hearing . Enger answered this was
correct . He explained to continue through to Mitchell x
Road wouldn ' t require the review by the Planning °
Commission.
Dietz commented 30 days were necessary to work on the
sight distance problem to Mitchell Road and possibly
extend the cul-de-sac to the Mason property .
Motion withdrawn by Harris with approval of Tenpas . �

View Road and Topvi ew Road . While the fill request did
not appear to result in a significant impart on this

grading and development plan for this parcel . Staff
recommended approval of the issuance of the grading
permit subject to the conditions shown in the Staff
memorandum of October 11 , 1989 .

Tenpas said if the agenda were long , could the Council
consider starting earlier. Pidcock said this would
create legal problems .
2 . Parking Tickets ssue_d by Police Departmen&
Pidcock informed the Council that several residents
received parking tickets at Pax Christi Catholic Church
during Sunday services. She said the policy of the
City should be to help people honor their God as they
see fit on Sunday morning. Harris said adequate
Parking space should be looked into . Pidcock
questioned what people should do when a parking lot is
full and there are "no parking" signs on the street .
Anderson responded that the people should find the
closest parking place. Tenpas concurred with Anderson.
Peterson said it would be appropriate for the police
department to review this matter and advise the
Council . He didn ' t think the tickets should be
13

invalidated . Tenpas said a suggestion could be made to
the police department that. , if all the lots are full ,
to make use some discretion in enforcement . Anderson
said he would like the engineering and the police
departments to investigate this matter and give clear
recommendation to the Council on this situation.

1 . NSP Undergrounding prgpgsgl ( Continued from
10/3/89 )
Dietz submitted a memo dated October 3 , 1989 ,
which explained the possibility of a means to
fund placement of utilities underground . In
essence , NSP proposed ways to raise $300 , 000 to
$500 , 000 annually to place overhead utilities
underground. Dietz wanted to know if the Council
wanted to proceed with developing more
information. Staring Lake Parkway was an example
of an overhead line that had to be moved to build
the road. Dietz remarked that if there had been
means to fund that project, the City could have
received a credit to bury that line . He said this
situation happened quite frequently in existing
neighborhoods where reconstruction occurred. NSP I
14
l City Council Minutes October 17 , 1989
could develop a capital improvements budget
process with a 15-20 year plan to bury all lines
in the City.
MOTIQN:
Pidcock moved , Anderson seconded, to proceed with
investigating different ways to bury the NSP lines
and determine a feasible budget process . All
voted "AYE
Harris expressed concern that all residential
customers would be charged for this project or the
bills would be adjusted since some have already
paid. Dietz responded some residents may pay more
than others. Harris would like to see that
customers already paying for underground service
not have their bills doubled . Dietz said it would
take a Public Hearing to have something like this
accompl i shed.
