DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS A. Braxton Pond Refer to staff report dated November 22, 1991. Cross reported that Braxton Pond is a single family subdivision on 3. 6 acres near Cedar Ridge Elementary School. Minimal grading will be done on the site and the only parks, recreation and natural resource issue is the sidewalk system. Braxton Drive will have an 8 ' bituminous trail on the east side and a 5 ' concrete sidewalk on the west side of the road. Westar Lane will have a 5 ' concrete sidewalk on the north side of the road. MOTION_ Lynch moved to recommend approval of Braxton Pond per staff recommendation. Bowman seconded the motion and it passed 5-0. B. Lorence 3rd Addition Refer to staff report dated November 22 , 1991. Peter Knable was present at the meeting to give a summary of the proposed development which is for a two lot subdivision on 0.87 acres at the southeast corner of Valley View Road and Hames Way. Cross added that the City is asking the developer to remove the dead trees on the property and dispose of the debris. Lambert noted that the original property owners will subdivide the property. Their driveway is currently going across park property, but staff recommends approval. MOTION: Vanderploeg moved to recommend approval of Lorence i-rdAddition per staff recommendation. Kube-Harderwijk seconded the motion and it passed 5-0. C. Rice Marsh PUD Refer to staff report dated November 1, 1991; memo dated November 27, 1991 from Don Uram, Planner and memo dated November 27, 1991 from Barb Cross, Landscape Architect. APPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. Dec. 2, 1991 -3- Dan Herbst from Pemtom Co. was present at the meeting. He said that this is a new plan for the Schroers PUD which was approved in 1989. Construction was not done because the developer had some financial difficulties. As in the last proposal, the developer will dedicate 33 acres along the northern side of Rice Marsh Lake where it would connect to open space in Chanhassen. Herbst showed its location on the site plan. The site is located on 129. 8 acres and has been farmed for about three generations. The plan is for three separate neighborhoods with different price range homes. The area will have three entries and the developer will build eight ponds. The original plan had 220 lots, but this has been reduced to 201. A sidewalk system is proposed within the entire site with connections to a 5' concrete sidewalk and 8 ' bituminous trail along Dell Road. More trees will be replaced than required by the tree replacement policy. The developer plans to complete development in four phases and is asking Cthat the trail system be constructed in phases as well. Bowman asked if there is a trail at Dell Road at this time. Lambert said that it has been committed to, but he does not believe it has been constructed. He added that there will be a traffic light at Dell Road to allow crossing Hwy. 5. Cross said that 5 ' concrete sidewalks will be required on all streets except cul-de-sacs. An easement will be required within the property along the west side for a sidewalk. This is necessary because Dell Road was shifted in order to save trees along the eastern right-of-way. Lambert said that if the land will be dedicated to the City, the developer will be given a $100 per lot reduction in the cash park fees because of land dedication which is the same offer that was made to the previous developer. The City will provide this reduction by making a cash payment of $20,100 at the time we receive a warranty deed for the property. Cross added that trail construction will be concurrent with road construction. i APPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. Dec. 2, 1991 -4- Bowman said he does not feel that the trail system will have much value unless it is constructed all at the same time. Lambert said staff does not have a problem with construction of the trail in phases as long as it is constructed before building permits are granted within that phase. I Lambert added that Chanhassen does not have an existing trail system to connect to at this time. Richard asked if there will be any concerns by the homeowners about the proximity of the trails to the homes. Herbst said that the homes and trails are on a different elevation and there will be many trees on the site to serve as a buffer. He added that the trail system will be mentioned in all brochures about the property. Cross said that there is an oak covered hill in the ' southeast corner of the property. The original plan ( said that 61% of trees would be lost. The developer has eliminated three lots and will. be using 65 ' building pads which will reduce tree loss to 46%. MOTION: Richard moved to recommend approval of the Rice Lake PUD, zoning district change and preliminary plat per staff recommendation. Vanderploeg seconded the motion and it passed 5-0. VI. OLD BUSINESS A. Prairie Restoration Committee Report and Recommendations Refer to memo dated November 26, 1991 from the Ad Hoc Committee on Prairie Restoration. Craig Johnson was at the meeting to present a final report on the progress of the prairie restoration. He said that the group involved about 35 people. Eleven potential sites were evaluated using specific criteria. They were divided into an A list, B list and C list and others were eliminated. The A list includes the scenic overlook at the Minnesota River bluffs and Oak Point Intermediate School. The B list includes Anderson Lake/Bryant Lake Regional Parks, the Outdoor Center and Flying Cloud Airport. The C list consists of the Cummins-Grill Homestead. MNDot right-of-way program, St. Andrews Lutheran Church property and the vo-tech property at Staring Lake were eliminated. ,. _ ._ .........:., n._r. .._...:.a::, .,.-ry s...a w ...,...� ... ... ._._.,.._�_....�..w.. ...... .. .. ... __ ._......__ C_ "APPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. Dec. 2, 1991 -5- M The committee is recommending that the City and school district enter into a joint partnership to plant a prairie community at the entryway to the Outdoor Center, encourage and enhance the Minnesota River bluffs site, develop a trail system in Edenvale and Edenbrook conservation areas and encourage the establishment of new prairie within the City. Lynch commended the group for their accomplishments in such a short period of time and said she feels their recommendations are certainly worth pursuing. Vanderploeg asked about development on the other side of the river. Lambet said there will be a trail connection from the trail system in Eden Prairie all the way to Shakopee. Richard suggested that the people that were originally involved in the committee continue their involvement r to insure that the project moves ahead. Lynch asked what the group recommends as the next step besides getting people involved. Johnson said that finances should be the next consideration. Lynch said that there may be a possibility that the project would be eligible for a grant. Vanderploeg suggested taking the plan to the civic organizations to see if they are willing to make donations. Lambert recomemmended that the commission accept and support the concept plan and ask for a report outlining more specifics of the project. Johnson said that the cost of $1500 to $2000 is the approximate cost for seeding one acre of prairie. MOTION: Vanderploeg moved to accept the report with more consideration to be given to financial needs for Phase 1 when more information is received. Lynch seconded the motion and it passed 5-0. Johnson added that this project will be considered as part of Earth Week. ( ° .APPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. Dec. 2, 1991 -6- B. Wildlife Management Program Committee Recommendation Refer to memo dated November 27, 1991 from Stu Fox, Manager of Parks and Natural Resources. Fox said that the most common complaints will be about beaver, deer, raccoon and geese. A procedure for the wildlife management plan has been suggested. Initial complaints would be directed to the animal control officer with a visit by the officer to see if immediate removal is necessary because of a threat to health or safety. If it is not an immediate threat, the officer would discuss possible solutions with the homeowner and supply w wildlife management sheets. If the complaints affects multiple property owners, the animal control officer would take all the above steps in addition to completing a wildlife management request form which would be submitted to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources staff who would review the situation with the animal control officer. Lambert distributed a draft cop y of a resolution to adopt the city wildlife management plan. Lynch recommended adding to the resolution that complaint forms would be routed through appropriate City staff before it is presented to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission and that the homeowner is responsible for any costs involved for removal if it does not affect City property. Lynch asked if it would be possible to use a different title than animal control officer for the purpose of the resolution. Lambert will check into the possibility. MOTION: Lynch moved to recommend approval of the resolution to adopt the City wildlife management plan with the changes as noted. Bowman seconded the motion and it passed 5-0. VII. NEW BUSINESS A. Recommendation Regarding Cash Park Fees for 1992 Refer to memo dated November 27, 1991 from Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources. \\ 7. 'APPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. Dec. 2, 1991 -7- Lambert said that staff is recommending a 5% increase in cash park fees for 1992 recognizing the fact that land values did not increase in 1991. A 5% increase was also made last year. This will raise the cash park fee from $800 to $840 per unit for residential and from $2825 to $2965 per acre for all other types of development. Lambert added that the City of Eden Prairie is in the top five in the Twin Cities area for cash park fees, ; but also that the value of land in Eden Prairie is also ..,..,• high. Lynch asked why cash park fees are being raised only 5% when they have been raised less than what is allowed for the past several years. Lambert said that cash park fees were not raised 20% in the 80 ' s to go along with the increase in land value and they have not caught up. MOTION: Vanderploeg moved to recommend approval of a 5% increase in cash park fees for 1992 from $800 to $840 for residential and from $2825 to $2965 per acre for all other types of development.

Riverview Heights Refer to staff report dated December 6, 1991 and memo dated December 11, 1991 from Bob Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources. Wally Hustad and Bob Brown were present at the meeting. Hustad said that the site is located south of Riverview Road along the Minnesota River and he showed its location on the site plan. - r •.- •-_ S C —. APPROVED MINUTE EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. Dec. 16, 1991 -2- The proposal is for a replat of a 1953 plat which was made before sewer and water were available. There are 34 single family lots proposed on 26.4 acres at a density of 1. 3 units per acre. There are three different sizes of lots on the site because of the slopes involved. The parks, recreation and natural resources issues include the relationship of the existing floodplain to the proposed development. There is a 75 ' trail easement proposed along the river which would allow connection to the future Minnesota River wildlife trail. The developer 's wants to gift Outlot C to the City for a future park. Hustad showed the plat from 1953. The area shaded in red is public property which the developer feels will be a park in the future. The developer wishes to keep the other area private, as there is some concern with the safety issue of the river. Richard asked who owns the area shown in red. Hustad said it is owned by the Waste Control Commission. r Hustad added that if the City prefers to have 250 ' along the river, the developer has agreed to give the land to the City in lieu of cash park fees or will give 150 ' -to the City and pay the cash park fees. The developer does not agree with having a public trail leading to the private park which would require access through the neighborhoods where there is no control. Richard said his understanding is that one option is if the easement is 1501 , the developer will gift the City with the 17 acre outlot. If the City wants a 250 ' easement, will they still receive the 17 acre outlot. Hustad said that the outlot would be gifted in either case. The only difference is that the land would be in lieu of cash park fees if the easement were 2501 , but cash park fees would still be paid if the easement were 150' . -APPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. Dec. 17 , 1991 -3- Lambert summarized the issues that are of concern including bluff protection, tree protection, park dedication, trail access and storm water runoff and water quality. He said that the City has not developed specific criteria to identify which areas along the Minnesota River bluffs should be preserved, but they have encouraged large lot development. Tree loss will be approximately 50% because of the grading ; that is required for roads and acceptable grades and house pads. The proposed options are for a 250 ' outlot with the dedication of the 17 ' parcel in lieu of cash park fees or a 150 ' easement with the dedication of the 17 ' parcel and payment of cash park fees. Staff strongly recommends taking the 250 ' outlot rather than a 150 ' easement and cash park fees; however, staff would recommend taking a 150 ' outlot and cash park fees if that is being offered. In addition, staff recommends contacting the Waste Control Commission requesting a trail easement over the property to allow for direct access from Riverview Road to Outlot C or requiring the developer to construct a 5 ' concrete sidewalk along the east side of Riverview Drive east along the south and west side of Valley Oak Drive through Outlot A to the park property. Because the area is so remote and large, staff recommends controlled access to the river. A runoff pond will be installed to meet regulations regarding storm water runoff and water quality. Richard asked about the similarities of this development to the Timber Bluffs development which had the dedication of a 150 ' outlot. Hustad confirmed that the developer would prefer the 150 ' outlot along with the donation of Outlot C and payment of cash park fees. Bowman questioned whether 150 ' would be enough for future use. Staff feels the 150 ' would be adequate for the trail and would be consistent with the request from the Timber Bluff development. i _ . .APPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. Dec. 17, 1991 -4- Richard asked if a requirement can be made to replace some of the large trees that are being removed. Hustad said that there will an architectural control committee as there is in other developments , but this will be the first one to include planting control. Bowman asked what the actual trees loss will be. Lambert said that 50% of the trees above the floodplain will be lost, but on the entire 65 acre site only 15% will be lost. Bowman asked how close the private trail will be to the park. Hustad said this will have to be redone. Bowman asked if there is a concern with public acess to these trails. Hustad said that he does not foresee a problem in the near future. If this is a concern in the future, a fence may need to be put up. Bowman feels that more would be gained by taking the 250 ' of land instead of payment of cash park fees by the developer. Richard asked what type of development would be done in the park. Hustad said the park would be more of a wildlife area with trails and not much other development. Richard asked if the developer will be required to come to the City before developing the park. Lambert said they would need to get grading permits and other permits as necessary. Lynch asked if an attempt was made to reduce tree loss. Hustad said that tree loss was originally higher, but with the private road rather than a public road and the reduction of lot size, it was reduced. MOTION: Richard moved to recommend approval of Riverview Heights per staff recommendation accepting the donation of a 150 ' outlot along the south side of Outlot B along the river and the dedication of Outlot C for future park development along with the payment of cash park fees. Immediate access to the park will be pursued immediately by requesting a trail easement from the Metropolitan Waste Commission to allow direct access from Riverview Road with no public access through the development. Lynch seconded the motion and it passed 4-0. i APPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. Dec. 17 , 1991 -5- VI. OLD BUSINESS A. Wildlife Management Program Committee Recommendation (cont. from December 2) Refer to memo dated December 13 , 1991 from Stu Fox, Manager of Parks and Natural Resources. Lambert said that: several changes and additions were made to the resolution which was included in the packets. Lynch suggested that several changes be made to the wildlife management request form: add the questions, "How long do you believe this problem has existed?" ; "What steps can be taken to alleviate the problem?" and "Have you or anyone else been feeding the geese?" In addition, Lynch suggested that the last question on the form be deleted, as it is already covered under the previous question. Bowman suggested adding the words "are you aware" in the two questions on Page 2. Lynch suggested a change in Paragraph 4 on Page 2 of the implementation procedures to read, "At this time, the staff would also involve other City staff or. . . " Lynch suggested that the word "man" in Paragraph 3 of the resolution be changed to "people" and that Paragraph 6 be changed to read, "WHEREAS, the Parks , Recreation and Natural Resources Commission has developed a management plan that provides for a formal wildlife management request procedure which includes notifying other affected property owners and appropriate government agencies prior to removing or reducing specific types of wildlife, and. MOTION: Lynch moved to recommend approval of the implementation procedures for the wildlife management plan and the resolution adopting the wildlife management plan with the changes as noted. Bowman seconded the motion and it passed 4-0. B. Contract for Community Center Use Refer to memo dated November 12, 1991 from Dave Black, Community Center Operations Supervisor.

Staff would like to implement this contract on l/l/92. Bowman asked if the City is protected in the case of equipment breakdowns , etc. Lambert said the City is protected under the contract. MOTION: Kube-Harderwijk moved to recommend approval of the facility use contract for the Community Center per staff recommendation. Lynch seconded the motion and it passed 4-0. VII. NEW BUSINESS A. Southwest Metro Transit Park and Ride Presentation Cross introduced Harold Schjobastad of LSA Design. Schjobastad said they are looking at some test sites in the area for a park and ride transit hub facility. He showed the possible sites which are within the Eden Prairie, Chanhassen and Chaska area. They are currently concentrating on site 13 which is located at Technology Drive, Prairie Center Dr. and the new Hwy. 212. There is land available for a 1000 car parking lot, as well as a transit depot. Uses included on the site would be transit, commericial, municipal and recreation. Schjobastad reviewed the segment schedule, project schedule and transit station development process. Cross said that the City is excited about working with LSA Design on ideas that would make the facility workable for both Southwest Metro Transit and the City of Eden Prairie. Richard asked about a parking ramp rather than a parking lot. Schjobastad explained various possibilities. Richard asked about uses for the property it this proposal does not materialize. Schjobastad said it is unknown. Kube-Harderwijk asked if other, site locations are also being considered. Schjobastad said site 13 is the prime site, but others will also be considered. ;. -APPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE PARKS, REC. & NATURAL RESOURCES COMM. Dec. 17, 1991 -7- Kube-Harderwijk asked if other sites in the Twin Cities are being considered besides Eden Prairie. Schjobastad said no. Bowman asked which portion of the site would be for the parking lot. Schjobastad said it is not known at this point. Lynch asked for a review of the project schedule. Schjobastad said final presentations and approvals of all agencies will be November of 1992. VIII. REPORTS OF COMMISSIONERS AND STAFF A. Reports of Landscape Architect/Park Planner 1.
