Robert Ellis, Public Works Director for the City of Eden Prairie, presented the
proposal. He stated the City has an interest in this proposal because the owners
of the property would like to subdivide and create a second lot on this parcel of
land. To do this, they need a portion of land owned by the City. This parcel of
land is park property that is currently not being used for park purposes. The
City would be willing to sell this parcel of land to the Hooverson's in order to
improve the site area of this property.
Vice Chair Fyten asked Franzen to review the staff report. Franzen said there
are two conditions with this project; the first is to remove the existing non-
conforming structure and the second is to provide a conservation easement over
the wetland area. Staff recommendation is for approval.
Vice Chair Fyten opened the meeting up for public input. There was no input.
Wuttke asked if any residents located on the eastern side of this property came
forward with any comments. Mr. Ellis said there have been no comments from
residents.
