PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 5 September, 1967 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Arthur Miller at 8:00 P.M. PRESENT WERE: Arthur Miller, Chairman Homer Raguet Cecil Cruse James C. Brown, Clerk David Dale Quentin K. Wood, APW Henry Hauser Don Brauer, Planner Odmor Skjelbostad ITEM 9-1-67 MINUTES OF 8-1-67 Motion was made by Homer Raguet, seconded by Odmor Skjelbostad to approve the Minutes of 8-1-67 as published. The motion carried. ITEM 9-2-67 PLANNING REPORT NO. 8. Mr. Don Brauer presented his Planning Report No. 8 on the Peters property, Bury and Carlson property and the request for a blacktop plant on the property by Bury and Carlson. He went through the Planning Report and recommended to the Council that they rezone the property, putting certain restrictions on it that would act as a natural buffer between adjacent property which would have another use. Motion was made by Odmor Skjelbostad, seconded by Henry Hauser to recommend rezoning to M-2 the property as petitioned by Bury and Carlson and Peters except for the portion which will be taken by County Crosstown Highway 62 and to include in the recommendation that the Council include the recommend- ations as made by Mr. Brauer in his Planning Report No. 8, that (1) the preservation and development of an effective natural screen on the south boundary through detailed plan approval; (2) preservation and development of reasonable natural screening on the north and east as actual land use and development proposals are made and (3) enforcement of outside storage screen- ing requirements formerly included under SI zoning. Upon a roll call vote, Cecil Cruse voted no, Odmor Skjelbostad voted yes, Homer Raguet voted yes, Henry Hauser voted yes, David Dale voted yes, and Arthur Miller voted yes. The motion carried. Cecil Cruse wanted to be recorded as voting against the zoning because he feels the zoning is strictly for a blacktop plant. On the request for a blacktop plant, Mr. Don Brauer in his report recommended that the Board recommend approval of a blacktop plant license with certain restrictions which he has outlined in his Planning Report No. 8, also, it is not going to compound any problems because of the fact that there already is a blacktop plant in the area. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 2 5 September, 1967 Mrs. Kaefer who is the closest resident to the area stated that she had no objection to a blacktop plant being located in this area. There were some questions asked as to screening and hiding the plant from other residential areas. Mr. Don Brauer stated that with the restrictions placed on the recommendations for rezoning and natural plantings, the plant would be screened except for the steam emission which is not a dirt problem or a noise problem. Motion was made by Odmor Skjelbostad, seconded by Henry Hauser to recommend issuing a special use permit for a black top plant to Bury & Carlson on their property in Eden Prairie. Upon a roll call vote, Cecil Cruse voted no, Odmor Skjelbostad voted yes, Homer Raguet voted yes, David Dale voted yes, Arthur Miller voted yes. The motion carried. Motion was then made by Odmor Skjelbostad, seconded by David Dale to recommend to the Council that special use permits for a blacktop plant be issued for five year periods. The reason for this is due to bidding for contracts during the off season. The motion carried. ITEM 9-3-67 FOTO MARK INCORPORATED The gentlemen from Foto Mark appeared before the Zoning Board to request approval of an addition to be built on the present building located on West 78th Street in the Village of Eden Prairie. The addition will conform to the present building structural appearance and meet the SI requirements as far as the building is concerned. The addition would almost double the present plant operation. Motion was made by Cecil Cruse, seconded by Homer Raguet to recommend approval of the request of Foto Mark for an addition to the present building. The motion carried. ITEM 9-4-67, ITEM 9-5-67, AND ITEM 9-8-67 JOE RUZIC, JOE SEMRAD AND ALEX DORENKEMPER AND THEIR PRELIMINARY PLATS. Mr. Wood explained that he had placed these on the agenda but they were not ready for action by the Board and therefore no action would be taken on them. ITEM 9-7-67 MANKATO STATE COLLEGE The Clerk read a letter from Mankato State College stating that they are setting up a community planning development project for a period of eleven Saturdays in 1967 and 1968 and asked if there are any individuals who are interested in receiving further information on these. The members of the Board indicated that they were and the Clerk will submit their names directly to the College so that the information can be forwarded directly to them. ITEM 8-9-67 PERSONS NOT ON THE AGENDA 1. Mr. W. M. Roslansky appeared before the Board with a land alteration request on the property which he leases on West 78th Street for the operation of 'The Barn' . The land alteration request is to improve the parking facilities on this PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 3 5 September, 1967 land. He would be grading and leveling and bringing in some additional surfacing material to improve parking conditions. Motion was made by Odmor Skjelbostad, seconded by Henry Hauser to recommend approval of the land alteration request for W. M. Roslansky on the property at 8920 West 78th Street. The motion carried. 2. Nine Mile Creek, Incorporated. Mr. G.P. Schoenfelder of Nine Mile Creek, Incorporated appeared before the Board with a land alteration request on the property which Nine Mile Creek Incorporated owns in the Village of Eden Prairie at the Junction of 169 and County Road 39 formerly known as the Kaiser property. He stated that the Highway Department has now submitted the final plan which takes approximately 50 out of some 70 acres which he had previously purchased. He is requesting approval of a grading plan so that the balance of the property would be useable under the C-2 zoning which the property has. There was some question brought up as to whether he was asking for a mining license or a land alteration permit. Mr. Schoenfelder stated that he personally was not in the gravel business or contracting business, he was just asking for a land alteration permit. He stated that some of the material would have to be removed from the site and this would probably be considered mining, although, he would not be involved in it personally or his company. He would contract for the grading and removal of the excess material. Mr. Paul Enblom whose father-in-law is one of the adjacent property owners, Mrs. Phyllis Olson, Mrs. Geneva Middleton, and Mr. Dieter Goetze raised several questions regarding the use of the land, the grading of it, the cost of the Highway Department and the taxpayer. Mr. Schoenfelder asked if Mr. Quentin Wood would explain the procedure that was taking place for the entire group. Mr. Quentin Wood, with a map of the area, showed the original contours, the proposed road to be built by the Minnesota Highway Department . Mr. Quentin Wood stated that there were over half a million excess material in the area which would have to be removed in the construction of the highway regardless of what ever else was done in the area. He stated that the plan had been sent to the Nine Mile Creek and Watershed District and the Minnesota Highway Department. While the Managers had not met, he had received verbal information from the Nine Mile Creek Watershed engineer that they would be recommending approval of this as the -grading did not effect the Nine Mile Creek Drainage in any adverse manner. The Highway Department had not granted an approval to the plan although it did not effect their grading plan or cause them the loss of any material in the area which would have to be replaced by purchased material. Mr. Quentin Wood also, brought out the point that in order to make this land useable under the zoning ordinance and the platting ordinance, it would have to be graded so that the buildings put on the land would be properly surfaced and reached by individ- uals who would be using them. The grading plan makes the land compatible with the highway, would make the land useable for the land ovraer, and not be a detriment to the community under the zoning for the area and the use of the land. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 4 5 September, 1967 Motion was made by David Dale, seconded by Cecil Cruse to place Mr. Schoenfelder on the agenda for the October 3, 1967 meeting and to request from the Council a planner's report on this project. Upon a roll call vote, Cecil Cruse voted yes, Odmor Skjelbostad voted yes, Homer Raguet voted yes, Henry Hauser voted yes, David Dale voted yes, and Arthur Miller voted no. The motion carried. Mr. Schoenfelder stated that this might make it too late for the particular project and he may consider withdrawing his application as the roads would have changed the access into the area. Mr. Quentin Wood suggested the possi- bility of a special meeting. No further action was taken on this matter. A motion was made by Henry Hauser, seconded by David Dale that the meeting be adjourned at 10:30 P.M. The motion carried. James C.

Climate affects virtually every facet of urban life . The climate of the Twin Cities Area , classified as continental, is characterized by great temperature variations , abundant summer rainfall , limited winter preci- pitation , and a tendency toward extremes in all climatic features . High and low pressure systems are continually passing over the Area from west to east , bring- ing alternate periods of warm and cool weather , as well as rain and clear skies. This variable weather is a result of the cyclonic control of the climate . 0 0 90 90 8 0° F r q �� L—�° 8 co 70° e Z�Av �x F � -M �� ..� + 70° G p St t A`� Z .. 600— 500 € — �yo�'�'A 5 0° 40°-4 —s - — 40° L3 0(:�-- .�.- FIG. 1 L)A,[!.Y 10°T 0° rt t 00 JAN 9 FEB MAR APR i MAY : JUN ` JUL ,AUG � SEP t OCT �NOV f; DEC C/) 0 ~' 15" f FIGI 2 _ .._: r .1 . 05 ° r� '' w = 05" �- --"t,.rl.,✓: ..,..-:..�^_"....�='..._. •:s`-9... a-.s.::...:r.-w-.,`_�..i':.,J3-:..'l._'L:y _ __ .SSA':- ,...Y.ri_ +_ �+ Rerninted with peA)iiizzion 4,torrl f.tei,,Lopotitan Planning Report No . 4 • (ApAi2, 1960; Twin Ciiiez Met&opoEitian Ptanning Coimiiis'sion) BRAUER & ASSOCIATES , INC . 2-6 TEMPERATURE To say that the mean annual temperature.in the MPA is 45 . 1 degrees does not adequately describe the temperature characteristics of this land of contrasts . During a thirty year period , the temperature extremes ranged from a low of 34 degrees below zero to a high of 108 degrees above -- a range of 142 degrees ! Both of these temperatures occurred in 1936 . The normal temperature pattern in the Metropolitan Area , depicted in Figure I , shows that the Area experiences approximately three months of sub-freezing temperatures in a normal winter. As a result , the frost depth in some parts of the Area will at times exceed five feet. Some effects of the low winter tem- peratures are a short construction season , a need for deep footings and utility installations , and a curtailed shipping season on the rivers . PRECIPITATION During the last 54 years of record , the annual precipitation in the Twin Cities has ranged from a low of 11 . 6.inches to a high of 40 . 2 inches . Normally, however, the annual precipitation will be within 3. 8 inches of the mean annual precipitation of 26 . 1 inches . The precipitation pattern in the Mississippi- Minnesota Watershed above the Twin Cities has a great effect on the river • flows , Both water supply and sewage disposal are largely dependent upon the maintenance of a minimum flow in these rivers . As indicated in Figure 2. , approximately 64 percent of the normal annual preci- pitation occurs during the five month growing season (average of 166 days) . During the growing season , thunderstorms provide most of the rainfall , while at other times of the year , the precipitation is caused by frontal activity and is therefore more gentle and longer lasting. The snowfall averages 42 . 4 inches a season; severe storms , such as tornadoes and hall , do not occur frequently. The intensity of rainfall is another important climatic characteristic. The C/) maximum precipitation recorded for a 24 hour period is 4. 1 inches . In deter- LD mining the level of storm drainage protection a community wishes to provide , the relative frequency of high intensity storms must be considered . WIND �G co Another aspect of climate that has great influence on area-wide planning is the wind pattern. As more sources of pollutants are created , air pollution is be- coming more of a problem each year. Windblown smells , irritants , and particles :::D do not respect political boundaries; hence , they have area-wide impact. cn Rep&inted with penniizzion /4norri MetiLopotita►1 P.Canning P,eponti No . 4 (Apkit, 7960; Twin C,it.ie.6 Met)LopoZizan PZanning Coy;itn.izz i.on) BRAUER & ASSOCIATES , INC . 2-7 FIG. 3 SUMMER WH\3D DIRKT1011 WINTER FREQUENCY BY PERCENT Note: Wind blows toward center of diagram . The most serious air pollution problems occur when the wind velocity is under eight miles per hour; higher wind velocities tend to disperse the pollutants . The directional frequencies of winds under eight miles per hour are shown in Figure 3 , together with the total wind pattern. Figure 3 reveals that winds are least fre- quently out of the northeast . This suggests that installations that are known sources of air pollution would be less offensive if they were located northeast of population centers . In summertime , when windows are open , the most frequent winds are from the southeast. This should be considered in the location of ac- tivities that produce offensive odors . Likewise , the wind pattern and its rela- cr) tionship to air pollution sources should also be considered by home builders . Owing to other important considerations , potential air pollution sources cannot always be located where they will be least offensive . Control measures will be needed to clean up the existing air pollution in the Area and to prevent a additional pollution . "A'hile the enforcement of air pollution control ordinances by individual communities would aid in this effort , the problem requires Area- wide action for a complete solution. The air pollution study currently being T conducted by the State Health Department will provide much additional infor- • mction about this subject . • RepAinted witth petcrnizzion ldko►,i Mettcopotitan P.2ayining RepoAt No . 4 (Ap&it, 1960; Twin Cities MettcopoZitan PZanniFig CornEii.i�s.6ion) BRAUER & ASSOCIATES , INC . 2-8 COMMUNITY hEVELOP11ENT PLAN FOR EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA NATURAL RESOURCES 1 . BEDROCK is so deeply buried under deposits of glacial drift , that it has no significant effect on surface soil characteristics or development potential . 2 . SOILS in the community are extremely variable and mixed in nearly every situation . Granular soils are silty and silty soils are rocky . Except for sandy peat areas which are highly productive for truck gardening , the granular and silty soils offer marginal productivity for mining or agriculture . 3 . TOPOGRAPHY is extreme . (dearly half of the solid land area in the community consists of slopes too steep to accommodate conventional residential development procedures and profits . For some , however , topography provides magnificent views or quiet corners in a rich , natural setting . 4 . PLANT MATERIALS provide a lowland and upland aboretum, concentrated in wetlands and steep slopes in a scattered pattern throughout the community . 5 . WATER RESOURCES represent about 7% ( 1590 acres ) of the total area of Eden Prairie . An additional 10% ( 2249 acres ) is classified "wet lands " , much of which could be developed into open water areas .

MI11NESOTA ZON I[,!G 1 . Zoning is a legislative expression of a land use plan , and any attempt to understand the factors that influence and control the land resources must be prefaced by an understanding of zoning . 2 . Zoning in Eden Prairie is considerably ahead of actual development demand in every category . - The present ordinance has served an interim period , but cannot guide the complex development ahead . 3 . The 1958 zoning obviously followed a "railroad = industry ; highway = commercial " philosophy . Highways have changed in nature and location and railroads have changed the nature of their business considerably since 1958 . 4 . Most existing zoning follows arbitrary dimensions and in so doing cuts across groups of properties , leaving • difficult shapes to develop in a logical way . 5 . Many zoning designations are absolete , incomplete , contradictory and vague . Only the most recent addition (S- I ) follows similar categories in neighboring communities . 6 . Occupancy is , in many cases , inconsistent with zoning . Non- conforming uses continue to flourish and residential uses persist in and on the fringes of large areas of industrial and commercial zoning . 7 . Occupancy is , as yet , scattered and largly unrelated c/) v to earlier development or any coordinated development plan . L_ u.... 0 n� c� BRAUER & ASSOCIATES , INC . 2—Y!

Observation of land-use was entirely visual , and estimated use area computed from base map dimensions and field sketches . 2 . Eden Prairie i-s , obviously , not "used" for urban development today . Two-thirds of the land area is vacant or in agricultural use . 3 . There is no predictable pattern to land use development . Nearly every land use is found , to some extent , in every district . 4 . Flying Cloud Airport inflates the public land use category ,' as well as highways when added there , over similar suburban communities . • TRAdSPORTATI0il 1 . There is a tremendous contrast in the winding rural roads , only a few feet from the interstate freeway system. 2 . The first signs of need for a coordinated network of roads and streets within the Village , are being felt now . The next proportional population increase will intensely strain the system in terms of safety and maintenance costs . c� LL.
