EDEN PRAIRIE PLANNING COMUMISSION PAGE 2 NOVEMBER 20, 1973 A question was asked as to extension of utilities. This question would be referred to Carl jullie. It was also questioned as to the ex-pansion . of the airport. Dick Putnam stated this extension of E/W runway may alter 169 through the BPI property since N/S runway would come too close to the Vo-Tech. Dick putnam has asked the airport planning team which alternative affecting the BPI site is even practical given the costs of moving 169. 1 Request was referred to the Village staff. IV REPORTS AND REC01.-24ENDATIONS A. Smetana Lake Sector Study, report of staff and consultants on +.•research regarding County Road 39 and Ring Route. Mr. Putnam reported on a land owners meeting where they expressed their thoughts to the use of their land. The meeting produced no real result but did give each owner a chance to hear different viewpoints. Mr. Pearson indicated he will begin planning his land and will seek cooperation from other owners. • Putnam presented four alternatives for connecting County Road 39 to Ring Route prepared by fOUB. Even though alternate four was the most expensive, it seemed to serve the industrial properties the best. This must be discussed with the property owners since they have their own ideas 'as to how their property whould be developed. B. Basswoods Site dl Deleted from agenda. C. Edenvale South PUD, revised concept plan for 200 acre PUD located east of T.H. 169 and west of The Preserve. Request PUD rezoning and preliminary plat approvals. Bob Engstrom reviewed the plan ad- justments, better access from this development to adjoining property, reduced the strip multiple/commercial along 169 and redesigning of commercial/multiple sites. The neighborhood commercial areas are being held until a Village survey on such centers for Eden Prairie is complete. Putnam said a traffic study of the area indicates heavy volumes on the roads proposed, this may require a different road configuration or reduced land use densities. Mr. Peterson requested action so Edenvals can get the roadway engineered for Spring construc- tion. Staff repert to be prepared by the next meeting. SV. Adjournment notion was made for adjournment by Don Teslow, motion was carried unanimously. iieeting was adjourned at 11.07.
