PUBLIC HEARINGS/MEETINGS A. VACATION OF PART OF FRANLO ROAD (Resolution 2018-79) Getschow said the property owner of the Southview Senior Campus development has requested the vacation of portion of the Franlo Road right-of-way to facilitate the plat of Southview Senior Campus. There were no comments from the audience. MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Butcher Wickstrom, to close the public hearing, and to adopt Resolution 2018-79 vacating that part of Franlo Road as shown on the Municipal Road Plat filed as Document No. 955983. Motion carried 4-0. B. CULVERS by Epic, LLC. Resolution 2018-80 for Planned Unit Development concept review on 13.02 Acres, first reading of an ordinance for PUD district review with waivers on 13.02 Acres; Resolution 2018-81 for preliminary plat on 13.02 acres Getschow said the proposed project includes construction of a new Culver's restaurant with a drive-through at 970 Prairie Center Drive. The property is located at the corner of Prairie Center Drive and Plaza Drive, and the building will be located on the opposite end of the parking lot from Byerlys. The proposed building is approximately 4,700 square feet. The building includes architectural details, articulation and roof line variation on all four sides. The building material is primarily brick, stone and glass. Access to the site is from the existing parking lot. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES July 17, 2018 Page 4 Jeremy Foss, civil engineer, gave a PowerPoint overview of the project. He noted the existing parking lot at the Byerlys store is underutilized, and is a fairly visible location. There will be a pedestrian connection to the sidewalk along Plaza Drive, and there will be an outdoor seating area on the northeast corner of the building with decorative fencing and native plantings. The drive-through will go around the southwest corner of the building. There will be highlighted crosswalks across the drive through area and a defined crosswalk through the parking lot to the Byerlys store. Permeable pavers are planned on the north of the building. Mr. Foss reviewed the landscaping plan for the site, and Ken Chizek, Project Contractor, reviewed the exterior materials planned for the building. Butcher Wickstrom noted she loved the architecture and asked if the color on the awnings will be the Culver's blue. Mr. Chizek replied the awnings will be Culver's blue, but the exterior materials on the building will not be the typical material used for a Culver's restaurant. Aho asked if there will be bike racks. Mr. Foss said there are bike racks on the southeast corner of the building. Nelson said she appreciated the use of permeable surfaces and the upgraded landscaping. She asked where the cars will stack up to go through the drive-through. Mr. Foss pointed out the drive-through route on the south side of the building. Tyra-Lukens commented it was good to see plans for the revamped parking lot. She asked if they will remove any landscaping at Prairie Center Drive and Plaza Drive. Mr. Foss replied none will be removed. Tyra-Lukens asked what size trees will be put in and what plantings will be put in the island areas. Mr. Foss replied there will be 3 or 4 inch trees, as required by City staff, and there will be bushes and shrubbery on the islands as well as trees. Tyra-Lukens asked Mr. Foss to review the sustainability features other than the permeable surface materials. Mr. Foss said other items such as solar panels have been discussed,but those did not make it to the final plans. They have worked to improve storm water retention and will install more vegetation in general. Tyra-Lukens asked where the pervious surfaces will be installed. Mr. Foss replied permeable pavers will be installed on the north side. Tyra-Lukens asked about the pedestrian walkway leading to the Byerlys store. Mr. Foss replied it was originally planned to be stamped asphalt that would hug the edge of the parking, but they moved it to the center on the final plans. There will be lighter edges on the red walkway to help define it. Tyra-Lukens asked if the walkway could be stenciled. Mr. Foss replied the brick could be stenciled,but that would wear off, so they opted to use stamped concrete. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES July 17, 2018 Page 5 Aho commented he hoped the soil conditions at this location were an upgrade from their previous location. Mr. Foss replied the new location is still a challenge and requires the same construction. Tyra-Lukens noted it will be a nice addition to the site. There were no comments from the audience. MOTION: Butcher Wickstrom moved, seconded by Nelson, to close the public hearing; to adopt Resolution 2018-80 for Planned Unit Development concept review on 13.6 acres; to approve 1st reading of the ordinance for Planned Unit Development district review with waivers, on 13.6 acres; to adopt Resolution 2018- 81 for Preliminary Plat on 13.6 acres into three lots; to direct staff to prepare a development agreement incorporating staff and commission recommendations and Council conditions; and to authorize the issuance of an early land alteration permit for Culver's at the request of the developer subject to the conditions outlined below. Motion carried 4-0. C. LINCOLN PARC APARTMENTS/CASCADE AT TOWN CENTER by Magellan Investment Partners, LLC. Resolution 2018-82 for Planned Unit Development concept review on 4.83 Acres; first reading of an ordinance for PUD district review with waivers and zoning district change from C-COM to TC-MU on 4.83 Acres Getschow said Lincoln Parc/Cascade at Town Center is a five-story mixed use building with underground parking, ground floor office/retail, and multi-family housing on the upper floors that was built in 1999. The property was acquired by the applicant in December 2017. As a part of this acquisition, the owners are rebranding the property to Cascade at Town Center. The applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned to Town Center—Mixed Use (TC-MU) to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The request to amend the PUD proposes the conversion of a portion of the ground floor retail/office space to 16 studio apartments. The Planning Commission recommendation includes conditions related to affordability and inclusionary housing with the project. Waivers are requested as part of the PUD approval. Following the Planning Commission recommendation, the applicant has submitted a letter with an alternative proposal regarding affordability. Marc Swerdlow, Principal with Magellan Investment Partners, reviewed the proposal. He said they plan to invest heavily in the physical attributes of the property. They will improve the units and the amenities, including renovating the club room, adding a new fitness center and renovating the two courtyards. One courtyard will provide a children's playground and the other will include a lounge area, grills and planter beds for residents' vegetable gardens. They plan to convert a portion of the commercial space into 16 studio units of 500-900 square feet each. They will renovate all the apartment units in the building, and will limit the access points for office tenants so they cannot enter the residential areas. The 38 affordable units currently in the building are at 50% Area Median Income (AMI), and those units will be renovated as well. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES July 17, 2018 Page 6 Aho asked if the rents will go up a certain percentage after the renovations are completed. Mr. Swerdlow responded there will be a market increase that will range from$160 to $240 per month. He noted they have not had a problem transitioning current residents to the new units. Nelson asked if the current residents in the affordable units will be affected by the price increases. Mr. Swerdlow replied they do not experience much of a turnover on those units, and their rent does not increase as much as other units. Nelson asked if they will get some of the same renovations in the affordable units. Mr. Swerdlow explained they plan to renovate all of the units and have already renovated two of the affordable units. They move the residents to another unit in the building during the renovation. Nelson asked about the number of new affordable units. Mr. Swerdlow said they plan to provide 20% of all units as affordable units but will include some of the larger units as well as the studio units. Tyra-Lukens asked when the TIF expires and what happens when it expires. Mr. Swerdlow replied it expires December 31, 2027, and they plan to keep it in place and run to the end of the term. At the end of the TIF plan, the 38 units will go to market rate. Tyra-Lukens commented the landscaping looks great. Mr. Swerdlow said City staff gave them the guidelines, and they used a landscape architect to develop the plans. They will not identify the property as anything other than a residential property even though they will keep some of the commercial space in the building. There were no comments from the audience. MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Nelson, to close the public hearing; to adopt Resolution 2018-82 for Planned Unit Development concept review on 4.83 acres; to approve first reading of the ordinance for Planned Unit Development district review with waivers, and Zoning District change from Community Commercial to Town Center—Mixed Use on 4.83 acres; and to direct staff to prepare a development agreement incorporating staff and commission recommendations and Council conditions. MarkThieroff, attorney for the proponent, said there was a disconnect between what has been presented here and what is in the staff report. Staff recommended that 10% of the units be affordable in perpetuity. Getschow said that was the staff and Planning Commission recommendation; however, proponent's attorney sent a letter after the Planning Commission meeting raising concerns about wanting to do that. He noted the staff recommendation remains the same. Tyra-Lukens commented she would want to guarantee at least 10% of the units to be affordable in perpetuity. Getschow noted we have been asking that 10% be affordable for many of the recent projects. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES July 17, 2018 Page 7 Aho asked what percentage the current 38 units represent. Nelson replied it would be 18%. Mr. Swerdlow said they were willing to accept 10% against the 16 new units,but staff is asking for 10% of all the units in perpetuity. Tyra-Lukens noted that would mean our request for 21 affordable units in perpetuity would drop to two. Mr Swerdlow responded under the current TIF the owner has the right to terminate at any time. The City is requesting that at the end of the TIF there be 21 affordable units without TIF support. Jeremiah said only half of the units would be required to meet the 50% AMI definition and the rest would be up to 80% AML Half of the 21 units would be affordable at what they are today. That is a substantial change, and staff was trying to create a level playing field because we have required this of others without providing a subsidy. Mr. Thieroff said they want to support the affordable units as much as possible; however, this is not a new proposal and staff is imposing the conditions retroactively. He noted staff has pointed out they are increasing density but they are not increasing density to the point they need a waiver. Aho said the motion as stated includes all the conditions of staff, commissions and City Council, and we would have to remove some of the staff conditions. Getschow said this subject came up after the Planning Commission meeting. There is new information, and we could deal with this now or between first and second reading. Aho suggested we let the motion stand, allow staff to work with the developer and owner to reach an agreement that would be acceptable to both, and come back at second reading. VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried 4-0. D. PIZZA LUCE First reading of an ordinance for Planned Unit District review on 2.12 Acres Getschow said this application is a proposal for fagade improvements to the exterior of the building, a new outdoor patio seating area with additional greenspace, updates to the landscaping on the site and sustainability improvements. The project will also include installation of a pedestrian crosswalk connection, landscaped parking lot islands, a bike rack, solar panels on the roof and LED lighting on the interior and exterior of the building. Proposed improvements are compliant with City Code, and no waivers are being requested with this application. He noted this is a minor amendment to the property so the proposal came directly to the City Council. J. J. Haywood, CEO of Pizza Luce, and Nat Shea, architect, gave a PowerPoint presentation of the proposed improvements to the property. Ms Haywood said they plan to recycle the building into an urban warehouse feel. They will also update the landscaping with native plantings and will add a patio area. They plan to relocate the front door to face the driveway and the hotels. She reviewed the site plan and noted they will add solar panels to the building and will install LED lighting throughout. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES July 17, 2018 Page 8 Aho asked if they have storage capacity for their solar power. Ms Haywood said it would be added to the grid,but their use is so high they will use it all right away. Ms Haywood and Mr. Shea reviewed the landscaping plan, noting there is a lot of landscaping already there. They plan to add some plantings in the patio area and at the relocated entry. Tyra-Lukens said she was excited to see them come to Eden Prairie. She noted when driving into the site it was not very clear where cars were supposed to go and asked if there is a way to fix that situation. Ms Haywood replied they are relocating the door to face the driveway, which will make it more understandable, and there will be signage over the door. Tyra-Lukens asked when they will open. Ms Haywood replied it will be in December 2018. There were no comments from the audience. MOTION: Butcher Wickstrom moved, seconded by Nelson, to close the public hearing; to approve first reading of the ordinance for Planned Unit Development district review on 2.12 acres; and to direct staff to prepare a development agreement incorporating staff recommendations and Council conditions. Motion carried 4-0. X. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS MOTION: Nelson moved, seconded by Aho, to approve the payment of claims as submitted. Motion was approved on a roll call vote, with Aho, Butcher Wickstrom, Nelson, and Tyra-Lukens voting "aye." XI. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS A. APPROVE FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE CHAPTER 5, SECTION 5.37 RELATING TO PEDDLERS, SOLICITORS,AND TRANSIENT MERCHANTS Getschow said the regulation of peddlers, solicitors, and transient merchants poses particular challenges for the City as the City must balance the protection of residents with the Constitutional freedoms of speech, expression, and religion. The City Attorney recommends updating City Code Section 5.37 to conform to recent court decisions relating to the time of day that peddlers must be permitted to operate, as well as standards for permit issuance. The revisions remove references to "business and moral character" of the applicant and make the grounds for permit denial an objective, exhaustive list. Because of some litigation in another community, the closing time for peddler activity is proposed to be extended to 9:00 p.m. rather than 7:00 p.m. as it is now. Tyra-Lukens noted this is a housekeeping item to clean up and make the ordinance compliant with State law. She asked how the constitution was interpreted to come to the CITY COUNCIL MINUTES July 17, 2018 Page 9 conclusion regarding freedom of speech. Rosow replied the 81h Circuit Court of Appeals interprets the constitution and they ruled this relates to freedom of speech. The evidence did not show a higher incidence of unsafe activity between 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., so the court said 7:00 p.m. was unreasonable restriction on freedom of speech but 9:00 p.m. was a reasonable restriction on freedom of speech. Aho asked if this would apply to the activity of political candidates, especially if there is a"No Solicitation" sign on the property. Rosow said he will review the ordinance in light of the question. Nelson did not like this change to extend the time to 9:00 p.m. She believed the average person would be upset with someone coming to the door at 9:00 p.m., and Minnesota has only a couple of months in the year where it is light at 9:00 p.m. Tyra-Lukens asked how many peddler licenses we issue per year. Getschow replied there are quite a few, and the number could approach the hundreds. Rosow noted we were recently challenged on our ordinance by a peddling organization and were challenged several years ago with respect to criteria under which we judge their moral and business character. Nelson asked if certain organizations such as Boy Scouts or hockey teams have to get licenses. Rosow replied there is an exemption for such groups. MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Butcher Wickstrom, to approve the first reading of an ordinance amending City Code Chapter 5 by amending Section 5.37 relating to the regulation of peddlers, solicitors, and transient merchants. Motion carried 4-0. B. APPROVE SECOND READING OF INTERIM ORDINANCE 14-2018 TEMPORARILY PROHIBITING NEW FIREARM DEALER STORES FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR AND ADOPT RESOLUTION 2018-83 AUTHORIZING A STUDY AND ADOPT RESOLUTION 2018-84 APPROVING SUMMARY ORDINANCE FOR PUBLICATION Getschow said this is the same interim ordinance that was approved on a 3-2 vote at the last meeting. A resolution has been prepared directing the study of firearms dealers and their potential impacts on the community in order to determine what amendments are required to the City Code to adequately protect the public safety, health, and welfare and provide for sound planning. The ordinance will be effective for 12 months and can be further extended as allowed by State statute. Alternatively, if the study is completed prior to the completion of the 12-month time period, the City can remove the prohibition. Aho did not see the need for having a moratorium because we have a long history of gun sales in Eden Prairie and have not had any issues related to those gun sales. It is also unnecessary because it is unlikely a new store would come in at this time given CITY COUNCIL MINUTES July 17, 2018 Page 10 the number of existing stores. He believed this is a waste of staff time and tax payers' money. He was okay with doing the study at this time but did not believe we need a moratorium. We could continue to study the issue through City Connect and could also collect good data on what is happening in other communities. Nelson said we have used the moratorium for a number of things, such as for our sign ordinance. It takes a lot of money to start a new business, and she would much prefer having someone know about restrictions upfront. This does not affect the four gun businesses in town. There was a large group of people in town who came here to say they don't want guns and another group that wanted guns everywhere. There was also a sizable group that said they were okay with gun sales in the commercial areas but not near their homes. She thought we need a couple of months to figure out our rules, look at what fits, and then let business people come in without wasting their money in the meantime. Aho commented if someone were to come into town they would work with staff who would let them know about the possible changes. Nelson did not think it hurts to take a couple of months to decide what we are doing and then do it. It seems like a reasonable thing to take a look at the possibilities. Butcher Wickstrom noted we had this discussion at the last meeting. It is within the purview of the City Council to make sure we make the best business decisions pertaining to the health and safety of the public. We are asking if there is a buffer appropriate for this kind of business and what the buffer should be, and those are important considerations. Residents have shown concern about this, and it is reasonable to take a look at it. Tyra-Lukens agreed with Council Members Nelson and Butcher Wickstrom. She believed the chance of a new store coming in is extremely low,but we have started work on the issue already. MOTION: Butcher Wickstrom moved, seconded by Nelson, to approve second reading of Interim Ordinance 14-2018 temporarily prohibiting new firearms dealer stores; to adopt Resolution 2018-83 authorizing a study to determine amendments necessary to the City Code to protect public health, safety, and welfare and to provide for sound planning related to firearms dealers; and to adopt Resolution 2018-84 approving publication of the summary ordinance. Motion carried 3-1, with Aho opposed. XII. PETITIONS, REQUESTS,AND COMMUNICATIONS XIII. APPOINTMENTS XIV. REPORTS A. REPORTS OF COUNCIL MEMBERS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES July 17, 2018 Page 11 B. REPORT OF CITY MANAGER 1. Approve Solar Subscription Agreement for a Solar*Reward Community Project Getschow said there are several different programs out there for a city subscription program for solar rewards. This is a large part of our sustainability plan for the City. We are also looking at putting solar on all the City buildings, and that discussion will come at a future meeting. Greg Ackerson, representing Apex, gave a PowerPoint presentation about Apex Solar Power and solar energy plans. He said there are three parts for tonight's presentation about solar power. Part One involves off-site solar gardens that are built in an adjacent county and are a subscribed-to location for Xcel Energy. Xcel then claims the Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). Part Two includes adding solar energy on City buildings, such as the City Center, the maintenance facility and the water treatment plant. As an example, solar power could provide about 14% of the City Center's energy. Under this plan, the City would claim the RECs and a third party would own,build and maintain the system. Aho asked if the City would consume all the solar power generated so there would be no need for storage or any sale to Xcel. Mr. Ackerson replied that was correct, and it would be set up so that the meters could be spun backwards on weekends when the power use was less. Aho asked how investors would get a return since they are investing in and maintaining the equipment. Mr. Ackerson replied their return comes from a 30% investment tax credit. They would also depreciate the system and could sell power from the solar panels. Mr. Ackerson said Part Three of the program would include a large City solar garden on the Community Center. Energy from that solar garden would be available to residents. He reviewed the financial summary of the three plans and noted all of the systems would have live web monitoring. Tyra-Lukens asked about the solar energy in place on the Community Center. Mr. Ackerson said that will stay there,but it may be moved. The City would partner with Cooperative Energy Futures and would receive $6000 per year as a site lease as well as providing an energy option for residents. Tyra-Lukens asked if we could say our city is an all solar power city. Mr. Ackerson replied Xcel has a legislative mandate to provide renewable power, so the phrasing of that claim would have to be different. Mr. Ackerson said the action tonight would be to approve Part One for off-site solar garden subscriptions. Staff is working on contracts for construction of Parts Two and Three and expect those to be in place by the end of the year. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES July 17, 2018 Page 12 Tyra-Lukens asked if the off-site program would start immediately. Mr. Ackerson replied some would start immediately, and some would start next year. He noted municipal clients are of a much greater priority for solar garden providers. Aho said there doesn't seem to be any risk to us for this program. MOTION: Nelson moved, seconded by Aho, to approve the solar subscription agreement for a Solar*Reward Community project and to authorize execution by the Mayor and City Manager of the agreement and all documents necessary to consummate the subscription. Motion carried 4-0. 2. Adopt Resolution 2018-85 Expressing Commitment of the Council to Work with Youth of Eden Prairie to Combat Climate Change Getschow said this resolution was brought forward by high school students. He said the Mayor and he met with the students and had follow-up meetings with City staff to see how we could work together. He noted there are many facets of Sustainable Eden Prairie aside from energy and climate action where we could work with the youth and the Conservation Commission. The resolution is based on a draft the students brought forward that expressed the City Council's commitment to work with the youth of Eden Prairie to work on climate issues. Sophia Trumpe and Zach Spears expressed their enthusiasm and commitment to work with the City Council towards their goals. They said Mr. Spears will be working with the City this year as Ms Trumpe has graduated. Ms Trumpe thanked the Council for being able to work with the students to reach the goals of the Energy Action Plan. Tyra-Lukens thanked the students for their efforts and their work with the City and members of the community. MOTION: Nelson moved, seconded by Butcher Wickstrom, to adopt Resolution 2018-85 expressing the commitment of the Council to work with the youth of Eden Prairie to combat climate change.
