Planning Commission - 05/16/1972 May 9; 1972
TO: Village of Eden Prairie
We the undersigned residents of school road have read and
reviewed your. memo dated April 18, 1972--
Subj : Eden Prairie Industrial Center.
Summary: The subject in your memo, "Visual Relationship
Existing Between School Road and the Industrial Center," was
resolved in 1967 during the rezoning of the area to Special
Industrial {Now 121 after residents adjoining the area
protested against heavy industrial zoning. It is obvious `
that to date there has not been much -i,nterest on the part of
the developers to insure that proper and agreed to grading,
landscaping and construction would be followed. We appreciate
the concern of the present planning committee with regard to
this problem.
Recommendation : The preliminary grading chart which was
mailed to school road residents appears to be very good. In
view of the long delay on the part of the developers, we
feel that during the summer of 1972, in conjunction with the
sewer and water installation, the village should insure that
the regrading, installation of the earth berm and landscaping
as indicated in your grading plan be completed by the
. developers. No more building permits should be issued for ,
this area until this is accomplished.
Thank you for notifying us of the planned activity in the area.
We support it as drawn in your grading plan :

and since there was not time to review them action was delayed-,until
the next meeting, June 6 , 1972. t
II. Petitions, Requests and Communications
A. Hennepin Counr-f requests for�plat approval of land located east of
Shady Oak Road and south of County State Aid # 62.
A representative from the Hennepin County.-presented the plat plan
and noted that they would like to .plat the --land- into one tract.
There has been interest expressed in'the development of the tract.
The plat was referred to the staff and acrion would be taken- at
the next meeting.
B. Shelter Development Corporation request for rezoning to'"RM 2.5 .for
• Briarhill Development and FHA section 236 multiple family development
located in the Northwest Sector of -Edenvale PUD 70-4.
Representing Edenvale was Mr. Don Peterson, Shelter Development;
Dick Bienapfl, government programs division, ray VanDyke,. architect,
Miller, Melby and Hanson, and Mike Carol, Director of Property.
Management for Shelter Government Programs Division.
Introduction - Site location and character.
Mr. Peterson gave a brief slide .presentation of the site and surround-
ing area. Access to the site street that .has been graded connecting
will .be by Edenvale Boulevard. Also,, the proximity to the"neighbor-
hood center, commercial center, churches, and the elementary school
is very close by. The major pedestrian trail system whi6 ,runs. on
the eastern side of the site from south to-north along:-the railroad
rights-of-way was shown with Mr. Peterson's slides. The site itself
is one of three areas in Edenvale that has undergone extensive grad
ing. Previous to the grading, ;the site' was an unforested hill;
today it remains unforested but the-, hill has been cut somewhat:
Grading has left a north to south slope with a higher ridge: on the
northeast corner. There is tree .cover to the .north, not on the -si&e4
but adjacent to it, and a few trees scattered in' the central.-'.afea,='of•
the site and on the south.
Mr. Peterson noted the change in the site boundaries and why the :'sita
overlapps into two density designation areas. The original sitd.':pro-
posed was twice the size and had, 230 units. 'After 'consultation with'
FHA and the Village staff, the site and numb.er of units were reduced
. s
Fagre Two
z .
2-0 108 acras and 1-16 units. Also, the site was realigned based upon
. the natural site features that resulted in a different alignment from the
proposed concept plan.
Mr. Peterson pointed out the relationship to the. railroad tracl::s on the
east. The railroad is approximately 20-25 feet bedew the grade of the
sheiter site at its closest point.
Development Philosophy
Mr. Bienapfl gave a brief description of the Shelter philosophy of
development and some history of t.ie corporation. It was note, that
Shelter today has appro,-d.mately 3 ,000 rental units under r anagement.
Of that total approximately 1,000 are subsidized units with 500 under
the 236 program. The other 500 subsidized units are udder -,',ha 221
D-3 program. There are four projects that are under construction today:
one of them near completion in Burnsville. Mr. Bienapfl noted that
one of Shelter's major concerns in development such as this, is the
management long term developer/resident relationship. ToTraards this
goal they have undertaken an extensive study of management resulting
in a new approach, which Mr. Carol will explain in more detail.
Design/Planning Concepts.
Jay VanDyke, the architect for this project, explained the 72DS concept
• for design and development. EDS or Environmental Design System,
used. by Shelter Development Corporation relies upon the -nultidisci-
plinary approach to creating useable spaces at many different levels
of human need. Mr. VanDyke stressed the fact that unlike most
design approaches where you start large at the metropolitan scale
and work down EDS begins at the smallest level, the living environ-
ment of the famiif and relates that to the higherarchy of functions
at the neighborhood, community, and metropolitan level.
The first level Mr. VanDyke described was Scale One, or privacy
level, dwelling units for the family or the individual. He described
how each type of dwelling unit was tailored to the needs of the resi-
dents. For example, in the apartment structures the two story
townhouse character is used for the two and three bedroom units with
separate entrances and ground orientation for the families. The third
or second level has one bedroom apartments with the exterior gallery
or balcony that was geared to the young couple, the single person,
or, some retired couples or i-he elderly. The small scale, individual
unifts,cr.ieritation of the fai„il;- at ground level, Shelter feels are very
desirable qualities in a residential environment. Also, the elderly
and single people can be separated from the family units who desire
but yet have easy access to common areas.
• The second level described, as vicinity, relates more to the clustering
or grouping of units around common green areas or small play areas.
This factor is something that must be handled with extreme care and
the scale of it, Mr. VanDyke felt, is extremely important to the suc-
cess of a multiple family project.
Page Three
Scale 3 , the neighborhood subcenter, related to the neighborhood
• facilities or the 126 units project, which will have a recreational
building, offices, and also the major recreational facilities. T'he
ability to unite the people or bring them together was felt to be
a very. important provision, such areas as rainy day play rooms for
the children, community rooms for resident meetings or parties, are.
proposed.
Scale four would be the Village center. Selection of the Edenvale
site had much impact on this level of activity. The communi y
center south of the site, churches, schools, pathway systems,
and public facilities, available to the resident of this site, are
extremely good and Shelter felt this was very desirable and a major
reason for locating in Edenvale.
Scale five, Mr. VanDyke described, was the metropolitan area
relationships. The two most important things mentioned were the
relationship of Eden Prairie to the Metropolitan areas shopping 4nd
employment base, and also the proximity of the project with major
freeways, 212, 494, and the proposed Crosstown.
In summary, Mr. VanDyke noted that the major goal of the Shalrer
project whether it be subsidized or market rate is to .provide the .
• environment which meets the needs of families living in the project
and will satisfy the needs of the community for quality housing
opportunities.
Example
Illustrations of a project in Burnsville, similar to the Briariiill
Project, known as Chancelor Manor were shown. This is a project
of approximately 200 units on 15 acres or 13 .8 units per .,cro.. It
is a project that integrates the townhouse with apartments. The
project is not complete and the intent the slides was to give the
Commission an idea of the scale and of the buildings. Mr. Bieriape4l
noted that Chancelor Manor does not have nearly the "built in"
amenity that the Edenvale project has, in that the pathway systems,
elementary school, recreational facilities, and nearby neighborhood
commercial areas, are not. in place in Burnsville. Burnsville will
have to rely upon the normal rezoning and development process to
acquire these facilities much as normal suburbs have in the pas.. .
Mr. Bienapfl felt that Eder. Prairie and Edenvale provide a much more
thorough planned and x:i,her quality environme, ` ��r the residerit_ s.
Mr. Bienapfl issued an invitation to the Council, Planning Commission,
and anyone with interest in Eden Prairie: to visit the Chancelor Manor
• project around the first of June for a tour are, pers-,-wal -%nspectior. of
the units.

• Site Plan/Unit Plan F:cplanations.
Mr. VanDyke and Mr. Bien�.pfl explained the various types of units
and their relationship to tha site. Basically, there are two types
of apartments, a building that steps up the hill, thereby providing
a two-level building on one side and three level on the other and
a building that is three levels on both sides which is used oil
flat ground. A third building 'type is the townhouse which is a two
story unit that is intended for the families and has three bedrooms
with a garage.
The townhouse is built with no basement and there are two levels:
entering on the first level with a kitchen, half-bath, closet, utility
space, living and dining rooms. The st- rway goes up to the second
level with a full bath and three bedrooms. A one-car garage is
provided with these units and one additional parking space in the
driveway. The exterior finish is wood and there is a rather dramatic
roof pitch that rises from the garage at the first level to the second
level. The basic module for the townhouse unit is a set of two
unit garages back to back. These can be combined as in the
Briorhill site into groups of 8, 4, and 6 townhouse units. They
seem to provide, as Mr. VanDyke indicated, excellent family units.
• The building type "B" is a building which utilizes the uphill
arrangement to produce a two story elevation on one side. Basically,
what this does is present on one side of the building the two story
townhouse unit with six units fronting on the two story side of the
building. The side that has three stories will have the basic two
story townhouse tinit, six on the first two levels. The third level
will have a gallery and the one bedroom units. There will be six
one bedroom units along the exterior gallery served with two service
cores and stairways.
Building type "A" provides for the basic three story configuration, as
indicated in building "B" , with the gallery one bedroom units on
both sides of the building. The construction- of these units is wood
frame, with brick and wood used for exterior treatment. The roof-
line is a pitched roofline with an interior trust system which gives
the lines of the building a unique visual quality. Mr. VanDyke
pointed out that in the "A" & "B" type apartment units, as the
elevations depikted there is a variety of facada elements. There
are cantilebered areas like the galleries, other areas are recessed
or popped out, windows are recessed ar various locations. Generally
speaking the facadas is broken up into more manageable parts and
. combined with the pitched roof the building appears smaller than it
really is. A question relating to the visual massiveness in a
residential project could be considerable. The planner noted that
with the fenced in patio treatments used on the ground level of the
townhouse apartment units and the varied facada treatments, balcon-
ies, pitched roof, wood exterior, and other factors the building

• There was concern expressed by Dun Sorenson about the visual
effect of entering the project with car parking on either side Of
the entry. Mr. VanD;�ke said that: earth berms and proper land
scaping would be used to screen the parking. from the entry pray.
This raised an important question, Mr. Brown asked the
budget and the approach to landscaping on this site� DepAted
on the slides, the site is rather barren of vegetation, orculd
extensive landscape treatment be used? Mr. Bienapfl pointed
out that this would be core and ;mould be a majo_ component of
this project. The fact that the project has rent sa`osidy would
not lessen landscaping budgets but actually would add to it.
Also, a question was asked about bu'.lding cova..rage and total site
coverage:. Mr. Van Dyke: Laid t4at 17% of the site was covarod
by buildings and he was not sure at th+.s time of the percentage
of total site coverage including roads, parkinys, garages, buildings,
but would find this out.
Another area that eras questioned was the requirements for safety
vehicle turn arounds or., dead end s"ree'tw in the project. The
roadways in the project- are 30 Feet wida and M.. VanDyke pointed
out that there are only certain areas where the turning radius of
an emergency vehicle might be impaired. but than this '.vuld 30t-�
• studted in greater detail. Regarding recreational vehic s storage
Don Sorenson raised the point that he wondered if it was really
needed i.n this project. Mr. Bienapfl said that he was not sure
whether it was needed and did not really know. Mr. VanDyke
indicated that in his examination of the 236 and 221-D3 projects
in the Twin City area that there was a definite need for this.
Bob Williams, a resident, expressed a concern That the railroad,
aloncr the east side of the property and nw t to the pedestrian
system, might create some problems for small children. Also, the
placement of the trail systems next to the railroad trackage it the
N:lrthwest Sector of Edenvale might require i<ui%a:• c-.)nSideration.
Don Peterson addressed himself to the railroad question by saying
that the railroad is not used more than 5 to 10 trains per day.
Secondly, at this point there is a. 20-25 foot cut or ravine where
the railroad runs, the sides are heavily wooded with brush and he
did not feel that children getting on the tracks would be a problem.
The other members of the Commission and the audience expressed
a concern that it was an invitation to children and the option of
fencing in certain locations along the rights-of-way should be
explored. Mr. Peterson indicated that he would work with the
Village staff to resolve this situation in the best manner. It was
recommended that the Park and Recreation Commission should review
in particular this phase of the project in Edenvale's pathway system.
There were questions that related to management which Mr. Carol
and Mr. Bienapfl answered. One question was the relationship
that the project manager and social programmer would have with
the resident. Mr. Carol pointed out that there would be a manager
Page Seven
and also a social coordinator that :voud work to aquaint residents
• with the community and also with the project. Also recreation and
social functions would be carried .on. These staff people for the
project would not be something that would leave ,after the project
was rented but are on continuing jobs that would remain with the
project as long as it is in existance. Mr. Carol also pointed out
that they are applying for a $100 per units supplemental funding to
aid in provision in social services at the initial stage of this pro-
ject.
Members of the audience and Commission expressed concern for
the problem of stereotyping people that reside in this project.
The necessity for the big red white, and blue sign in front of the
project and the method of advertising, what woud these be? Mr.
Carol noted that the sign is something that is required. It just .
states that it is an equal opportunity housing development; it does
not say that it is subsidized. The advertising is done one the
basis of merely stating there is a project available for moderate
income families. It does not state the rent nor does it state
that it is subsidized. His feeling is if one can get the person
out to visit this project that. the environment will speak for itself
in this case, and the community ;will speak for itself. The problem
of rental will be non-existent. Also, relating to the project's
. stereotype image was the concern that everyone will be of one type.
Mr. Bienapfl pointed out that they are considering and .will be
requesting from FHA the provision to include market rate units
during the first stage within the buildings. This has been done in
Cedar Riverside, and when Shelter inquired about this to FHA they
said it was possible in this project. Also pointed out was the
fact along with the market rate units if the community so desires,
rent supplement meaning that the lower income persons could also
qualify to live in these units, thereby providing the spectrum from
low income, moderate income, and market rate rentals. In terms of
a long term relationship here, Mr. Bienapfl noted that Shelter would
be involved with this project as long as it is existing and would
continue the services as quaranteed in the. development's legal
documents.
Also mentioned was the option at a later.date to sell the units or
some units on a condominium or cooperative basis to the residents.
This offers many advantages and would insure the long term resident
life style that is highly desirable. The question about maintenance
and,the project management philosophy relating to up-keep. Mr.
Carol pointed out that it was extremely flexible in that certain
residents could well work at maintaining the project and that people
. can work at certain jobs in the project one or two hours each rather
than having one maintenance man. Shelter is experimenting with this
and does feel it certainly is worth pursuing. Additional information
was requested.
Page Eight
The comparison made in the Shelter brochure, about the cost/benefit
of a $25,000 single family unit compared to this project was based
upon the fact that someone moving into' this development could only
afford a $25,000 unit. Don Sorenson requested this same type of
Information to be calculated using the average cost of a single
family home in Eden Prairie today. -Also, the cost/child for school
today in Eden Prairie's situation.
The matter of the fencing and pathway systems along the railroad
tracks was referred to the staff for further study.
The Shelter Briarhill proposal should be submitted to the Park and
Recreation Commission, the Human Rights Commission and to the
HTF for ;review and comment.
M.J. Gorra Preliminary Plat, Single Family Detatched Homes on
Anderson Lakes.
Mr. Gorra presented his preliminary plat which has 2,200 feet of
lakeshore on Anderson Lakes and noted the approximately 13 one-
acre lots fronting on the lake and an outlot that would be
developed in the future next to Co. 18. Mr. Gorra noted the
scenic easements along the lake which would be left untouched and
said that there was a question regarding sewer and water that was
• unanswered. The planner said that sewer and water (would be
required) for this development and that at this time it is not
scheduled. The planner also asked Mr. Gorra if there had been
any contact with the Village regarding acquisition of his property
for park purposes. The Planner said this area has been identified
in the 68 Comprehensive Guide Plan and by the Metro Council, and
by the Village recently as land to be acquired for the Anderson
Lakes Park. Mr. Gorra indicated that there was contact within
last week about purchase of this property, by the Village. , It
was suggested by the Commission that the preliminary plat be
referred to the Park and Recreation Commission for fin-ther study. .
tt was moved that this preliminary plat should be referred to the
staff for review and recommendation,
Gold Medallion Corporation preliminary plat St. John's Woods 18..9
acre quadrominium project in the Forest Hills sector adjacent to
Baker Road,
Mr. Dan Gustafson from D.H. Gustafson & Associates presented a
brief background on the project noting the initial concept that was
approved for rezoning, which had 144 units approved. Today in
the preliminary •plat there are 132 units, a drop of 12 units from .
the project. There have been some changes in the site plans
such as; straightening of the road from an "V shape, removing
some buildings to open up some play spaces, including two car
garages on some .units, the provision for a pool and other recrea-
tional facility within the project, the relocating of the recreational
vehicle' storage to improve its location regarding visibility, and the
provision for better emergency vehicle turn arounds were changes
raga Nine
• Since the building season is upon us, Mr. Gustafson asked for
rapid action on this project. The planner noted that building
permits drawings, preliminary plat and other documents required
for building are being submitted concurrently to make best use
of available time. Sorenson moved, seconded by Brown that a
public hearing date be set for June 13th Council hearing, and
that a recommendation from the Planning Commission would be
made on June 6, th`a ne:zt meeting of the Commission. The
motion was carried.
Recommendations and Reports.
A. Russell Marsh DAidwest Terminals PU_D Baker Road.
The recommendation from the Commission -was decerredr from the last
meeting until this meeting to give members more time to read the
staff recommendation. The last Council meeting was held at the
Forest Hills Elementary School the week previous and the planner
summarized in a note to the Commission the comments and the
neighborhood reaction which was favorable to the project.
Forest Hills resident, Mr. Lou Kinney, had great concern about the
lining up of the proposal be the 66th St. entrance with the Pntrance
to the Marsh project, feeling that there would be additional traffic
• generated past his house and into King's Forest by this alignment.
Also, he had concern regarding the alignment of 66th St. initially
and his home's relationship with King's Forest School Pai•k. The
planner explained that it was not felt that any traffic from the
project would go into King's Forest (by his house on 66th) unless
it had business in King's Forest, since that would riot be a direct
route to any major location in Eden Prairie other than King's Forest..
The need to line intersections up was based on cost, safety
factors, and also site location which dictated alignment because
of soils and distance between intersections required.
Mrs. Schee noted the comments of Mr. Fosnccht, who -was unable
to attend this meeting, regarding the Marsh proposal. Mr. Fos-
nocht disapproves of the patio home concept on the 6,000 sq. ft.
lot. Mr. Alexander, a developer, expressed his concern about
Mr. Fosnocht's dislike for the patio home, and his feeling that it
is inappropriate in Eden Prairie. Mr. Alexander felt that the patio
home is the next innovative building type as the townhouse and
offers more benefits than any of the multiple or single fandly
structures built today. Mr. Fosnocht's comments are attached.
Mr. Sorenson had two amendments to the staff recommendation.
They were:
1. Townhouses on wooded terrains. Townhouse use okay, but
number subject to review of detailed design. We strongly suggest
consideration of "expensive" single family homes on portions of
these areas.

and rszoniLiq approval of the townhouse project in Eden�alc.
The staff report was open for any comment-s or questions and there
was only a comment regarding sufficient emergencJ vehicle access.
The planner indicated that the space w«s sufficient, especially
regarding the site considerations. Mr. Peterson, representing
Eden-vale, suggested that the staff recommendation that rezoning
not be granted to the entire site was torrent and that he would
prefer that only rezoning be granted to the 4.7 acre, Phase I
parcel, and that no actin be taken on the remaining acreage.,
Casey moved with Brown seconding that rezoni q to RM 6.5 be
granted to the Hipp's Construction Phase T 4. 7 ...cre parcel, 1"Ath

was passed unanimously
C r The staff report on the School Road, Eden Prairie Industrial
Center screening project was brief. The planner noted that there
has been some work 1Prith the residents and the industrial owners
to improve the appearance and also the actual buildability of the
industrial properties in that area. The Commission encouraged
the staff in taking the lead in such projects.
Brown moved and Sorenson seconded to adjourn the meeting. The
motion was carried.
