The Metropolitan Council at its August 28, 2019 meeting, authorized the City of Eden Prairie to put Aspire Eden Prairie 2040 into effect and granted approval of the City of Eden Prairie Comprehensive Sewer Plan. As a part of this action, the Metropolitan Council approved the revision of Eden Prairie’s employment forecasts for 2020, 2030, and 2040. City staff has been working with Metropolitan Council staff throughout the Aspire process advocating for this revision. Metropolitan Council staff also has recommended that the City implement the advisory comments for Surface Water Management and Water Supply. These advisory comments call for the City to: 1. Provide the Metropolitan Council with the dates that the three watershed districts approved the Local Water Management Plan (LWMP)supplement and the date that the City adopted the final LWMP; and 2. Include the Local Water Supply Plan as an appendix to Aspire. Klima said the City will implement these revisions and comments prior to submitting a final copy of Aspire to the Metropolitan Council. She reviewed the organizational structure of Aspire Eden Prairie along with the plan’s call outs and goals of social equity and diversity, community health, and sustainable resilience. She noted the plan is a long term document, and there will be a public process to make amendments to the plan if changes are needed. Aho noted his appreciation for the good work staff has done on the plan.

Resolution 2019-108 for Comprehensive Plan amendment and MUSA expansion on 1.05 Acres; First reading of an ordinance for Zoning District change on 1.05 Acres. (Ordinance for Zoning District Change; Resolution No. 2019-108 for Comprehensive Plan Amendment) Getschow said the applicant is requesting a 2040 Comprehensive Plan amendment from Rural to Low Density Residential, a MUSA extension and a rezoning of the property from Rural to R1-44. The 1.05-acre parcel is located at 10197 Eden Prairie Road at the northeast corner of Eden Prairie Road and Flying Cloud Drive. The property is currently undeveloped, though it does have a constructed driveway. The property is proposed to be developed as one single family home. Perry Ryan, 19655 Waterford Place, Excelsior, said his family has owned the property since 1998 and has always intended to develop it as a single family lot when City services became available. City services are now available with the Eden Prairie Road reconstruction project which brought municipal sanitary sewer and water to the property. He gave a PowerPoint presentation about the Eden Prairie Road reconstruction and his proposed single-family home development. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 1, 2019 Page 4 Nelson commented there are very steep slopes on this property and asked if the house will be built at the top of the property. Mr. Ryan replied it will be on the north side of the lot. He said the steepest parts of the slope are outside of the property. Aho asked if Mr. Ryan intended for his family to reside there. Mr. Ryan replied he has not made a final decision on that. There were no comments from the audience. MOTION: Freiberg moved, seconded by Narayanan, to close the public hearing; to adopt Resolution No. 2019-108 for Guide Plan change from Rural to Low Density Residential and extension of MUSA boundary on 1.05 acres; and to approve the first reading of the ordinance for Zoning District change from Rural to R1-44 on 1.05 acres. Motion carried 4-0. B. INDEMINIFICATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE AND CASTLE RIDGE AND RESOLUTION NO. 2019-109 APPROVING PUBLIC FINANCE AUTHORITY ISSUANCE OF BONDS ON BEHALF OF CASTLE RIDGE CARE CENTER Getschow reported staff has been working with Presbyterian Homes on a multi-phase development in Eden Prairie. This item is in relationship to the Castle Ridge Care Center which was the first phase of the development. The developer has requested the Public Finance Authority (PFA) issue revenue bonds to finance the project. He explained in some cases the City acts as the conduit for such bonds; however, in this case the City of Eden Prairie will not be the conduit issuer. The IRS code requires the bonds be approved by the applicable elected representation of a governmental unit having jurisdiction over the area where the project is located. Narayanan asked if the City would have any liability for the bonds. Getschow replied the City would not. Aho noted in this case the City is not even the conduit, so the agreement does not impact the City’s finances at all. We are just giving approval for the bond issuance to go through. There were no comments from the audience. MOTION: Nelson moved, seconded by Narayanan, to close the public hearing; to adopt Resolution No. 2019-109 approving the issuance by the Public Finance Authority of bonds on behalf of Castle Ridge Care Center, Inc.; and to approve the Indemnification Agreement between the City of Eden Prairie and Castle Ridge. Motion carried 4-0. X. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 1, 2019 Page 5 MOTION: Narayanan moved, seconded by Freiberg, to approve the payment of claims as submitted.
