REPORTS AND RECOAENDATIONS A. 1977 CommunitY Development Block Grant, joint application for approximately 45,800 of Federal funds to be used fol- eligible community projects. General dlsLussiu,i of program and suggested projects for 1977. The planner reported the $19,000 fundT from 1975 were approved for the Valley View bikeway and the $40,000 from 1976 was approved for bikeway construction along Co. Rd. #E4, but due to the enormous paper work, plan details and objections from abutting property owners the projects have not been started. De stated orly 10% of the communities receiving funds have completed their projects . He reported last year the city mailed out a survey to homesteaded properties to gain input , but a very low return was received. This year opinions have been asked of Eden Prairie organ- izations, associations, etc. , and notices published in the EP News. Lynch inquired if the funds from 1975-76 could be combined with the 1977 funds and used for a different project, i .e, , Dutch Elm Disease control or replacement trees. The planner felt the money could be applied to another project, but the overriding objective of the funding is to yrovide services for the low and moderate income families and he doubted if a Dutch Elm Disrzse project lends itself to that objec- tive more so than the approved bikeway projects. Sorensen remarked that if the program is changed, the city Mould lose matching FAU funds received for the bike--,ay construction. Bearman suggested the staff investigate if the funds could be diverted to another project, i.e. Dutch Elm Disease or gar': acquisition. Tom Bartel , EP News, asked if the FAU funds were strongly tied to the bikeway project. The planner replied affirmative. Chairman Sorensen asked if the audience had further questions or convents. No questions cr comments were raised. B. Eden Prairie Industrial Park Rezoning, by rater Products and Ribbey Engineering Companies requesting rezoning from I-2 Park to I-General for approximately 26 acres. fhe site is located northwest of the Chicago and NN railroad and east and south of Fuller Road. The planner backgrounded the site's previous zoning of W 2 which petaitted outside storage and stated :the rezoning request is for rezoning from I-2 Park to I-Cwiwral to again allow outside storage. He then referred the commission to the staff report and stated the staff is recommending Altemat:4e #31, a pla Led unit development approach jointly between the city and property owners. He further stated Water Products would appreciate knowing if their rezoning request is feasible. Mr. !Morehouse asked the commission to give a recotmendation on the slater Product's request this evening then discussion an the pud approach could follow. Lynch inquired if Mr. Morehouse had read the report. W. Morehouse replied affirmative and stated he concurs with the conclusions of the report but is concerned about the time a pud approach may tape. Mr. Andrew Justus, owner of 1S acres, s'Lated he had -read the report and would prefer rezoning to I-General for the entire �6 acres, but is willing to participate in a pud. _- - approved Planning Commission Minutes -3- Dec. i3, 1976 =. Jack Eide, Roll Tank, stated they presently bane outside storage on their site,but the other lot they awn does not, amd they dasixis I L ___L ,C.1 L.;_. _--;?t outside storage. He stateA No- wu.ta sl an in a pud. Larry Johnson, Kibbey Engineering, stated he concur3 with the other landowners and _ is willing to participate in the pud and desires to have outside storage. Mr. Holtz, Water Products, stated their time table is somewhat flexible , but urge a favorable decision in the reasonable near future. Glen Reed, Water Products, stated he is apprehensive about the time required for the pud approach as it could take until naxt Summer. Notion 1 : Fosnocht moved, Lynch seconded, to recoarend the City Council respond to the request from Kibbey Engineering and Water Products Company for rezoning of the Eden Prairie Industrial Park by establishing a planned unit development to be administered jointly by the City of Eden Prairie and the interested landowners of the property as recom- mended in Alternative a3 in the staff report dated 12-9-76, page 7 as follows : 03. The co=ission recommends the industrial proposal of 29.6 acres be considered in the framework of a pud providing a variety of industrial uses and standards within that area. Certain sites might: best be suited for industrial park with no outside storage because of their proximity to TH S, limited size or connection with residential araas. Such a pud plan would accomodate the • needs of the existing businesses which have outside storage and could develop screening and appropriate landscaping while providing new sites for businesses requiring outside storage with proximity to the railroad cad other I-General uses. The area around the Legion Club and southwest portion of the project might be best suited for industrio. park uses or developa:nt restrictions on any outsid. storage as viewed from Co. Rd. 4 and Lincolnwood Addition. The lud approach would allow the city and landowners the flexibility to develop the most efficient and aesthetically pleasing 'industrial development within tight site limitations. Under such a plan access for the industrial lots to TH S and Co. Rd.4 need to be worked out with the industries and landowners in the area. Also, the zoning of specific lots and development standards for those lots must be arranged along with a tiwing/phasing plan. Lastly, the actual zoning of the property would be the result of rezoning agree- . _ ments drafted which describe development restric*Ions and opportunities for ewh. of the sites. The motion carried unanimously. Notion 2 : tyawkracrved, Fosnocht seconded, that the City Council give this request immediate emsidnwtion if possible.

The planner illustrated the site's location and referred the commission to the staff report. Mr. Darkenwald, representing Mr. Miley , stated they are in agreement with the report and desire prompt action on the rezoning. Sorensen asked if the city owns the land an either side of the site.

Fosnocht stated he has no objections to the industrial zoning for this site, but questions the adv13ibility of a public/private pud if all lan3owners are not an favor of it. Fosnocht then asked to what use the facility would be put . Mr. Darkenwald stated the building would be used for light industrial and no outside storage would be required. Sorensen questioned the bay doors opening onto the public road. Mr. Gjertsen responded he believes that would be better than facing toward the parkland. The planner added that the doors' orientation may change -if in the future a new road is constructed. Darkenwald stated Mr. Gjertsen would like an answer from the city by January 1st and to build by Feb. 1st.
