V. PUBLIC HEARINGS

EP HIGH SCHOOL SIGN PUD AMENDMENT (2020-05) Request for: • Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 66.6 aces • Planned Unit Development Amendment with waivers on 66.6 acres

Eric Taucheck, from Spectrum Sign Systems, Inc., displayed a PowerPoint and explained the application. He displayed the layout of the proposed face- illuminated signage for the Performing Arts Center and showed its location with day and night views. He displayed the street view as well. Taucheck explained the Performing Arts Center currently had only one sign that was not visible from the road or the entrance. Eden Prairie Schools wished to install a permanent sign to PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES June 22, 2020 Page 2

add visibility and help visitors find the Performing Arts Center, which would decrease vehicle confusion in the parking lots. The existing PUD would be amended to increase the total amount of square footage allowed for signage along with the total number of signs permitted. This meant an increase of the total allowable sign area from 268 square feet to 371 square feet, and an increase of permitted wall signs from six signs to seven signs. The proposed Performing Arts Center sign would be 102.8 square feet. Taucheck displayed the inventory of existing signage with their locations.

Farr asked what triggered the application, the applicant or the City. Taucheck replied he was contacted by the School District, so he did his due diligence and research, and concluded this PUD process as most appropriate.

Klima presented the planner’s report. Currently on the site was a temporary banner which was not permitted by Code. The School District and its representative contacted the City to find out what was permitted and what process to go through. Back in 2001, the District received approved for a PUD waiver for six signs totaling 268 square feet in size. This proposal was a change to seven signs at 371 square feet for permanent signage. This application, as Taucheck stated, also addressed traffic confusion. Staff recommended approval.

Mette noted the staff report mentioned the Code allowed 50 square feet of wall signage per frontage and asked where this restriction came from, the Zoning Code or PUD restriction. Klima replied this was part of the Public Zoning District.

Alison Roberts, resident at 7314 Hames Way in Eden Prairie Commons across the street from the high school, spoke for herself and on behalf of neighbors about the concerns about possible light wattage and the possible intrusiveness of the sign in a residential neighborhood. She gave the Vikings stadium in Eagan as an example of signage that triggered complaints after installation, and added the residents were not necessarily against signage at the Performing Arts Center.

Taucheck replied there were two ways to control the sign: hardwire it to a timeclock or utilize a photo eye. He stated a timeclock would be more appropriate; streetlights could possibly trigger a light-sensitive hardwire sign to illuminate inappropriately at night. He offered to provide the specific metric of illumination later.

Farr asked for and received confirmation the sign was an internally illuminated behind a diffused, translucent panel, not a direct line-of-sight of LED diodes. Mette asked if the other signage on the building of the high school was of the same style. Taucheck replied it was in a cabinet form, whereas the new sign would be a channel letter set rather than cabinet signage. The fonts, however, would match.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES June 22, 2020 Page 3

MOTION: Gooding moved, seconded by Toomey to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

Mette expressed support for the application, but added the square footage increase proposed for the new sign compared to the current square footage allowed was too large compared to the existing signs. She stated it was not necessary to include the school text since the logo was included. The text could be shortened it to “EPHS,” since this was the Performing Arts Center sign. Since the school text letters were taller than those of the Performing Arts Center on this new and largest sign, she was not clear if this was a school sign or an Arts Center sign.

Kirk replied Eden Prairie had a reputation of being difficult to navigate and expressed approval for the largest sign, given the size of the facility and of the campus. Gooding agreed with Kirk that Eden Prairie needed wayfinding signage. In addition, the Performing Arts Center did not operate every night of the week, so the sign did not need to be illuminated all of the time, and it did not seem to be a sign for the school. Farr noted he drove by this site twice a day and wayfinding was indeed a problem for residents, as well as for visitors from out of town. He thought signage was important, and agreed with Gooding it, being event-driven, was appropriately served by a timeclock. He approved of the text letter height, but also agreed with Mette that the sign did not also have to include the Eden Prairie High School text.

Farr stated the applicant could have come to the commission with a sign that would identify the fork in the road to arrive at either the Performing Arts Center or the school. Mette agreed with Farr that the size of the Performing Arts Center font was appropriate but the school’s text was not. She did not, however, find this a reason to deny the application, and emphasized it was not the commission’s role to redesign the sign. Mette suggested if the commission approved the signage as is, the applicant could make the sign smaller and omit the school text. Farr concurred there was no compelling reason to object to the size or illumination of the sign. Higgins agreed with leaving the final decision up to the School Board in continuing communication with staff. She added she also found the site a challenge to navigate when she visited with her grandchildren.

Mette asked if the PUD application allowed for the redistribution of square footage, such as reducing the size of the largest sign and then adjusting the rest of the square footage of the total 103 feet for the other signs accordingly. Klima replied the PUD specifically allowed the stated number of signs and square footage, did not allow the redistribution of dimensions, unless an existing sign was not large enough to reach the 103-foot total. Pieper stated he understood the overall concerns but this was a large building and the sign was appropriate for it. Mette replied she would make the motion, and reiterated her thought the School Board could make the final decision to modify the size and/or the text or not.

MOTION: Mette moved, seconded by Kirk to recommend approval for a Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 66.6 aces and a Planned Unit Development Amendment with waivers on 66.6 acres based on plans stamp dated June 5, 2020 and the staff report dated June 2, 2020. MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

VI. PLANNERS’ REPORT

VII. MEMBERS’ REPORTS

Farr stated he found, while driving around the City, many non-conforming signs. He reiterated the Planning Commission was an advisory committee and not an enforcement committee. He noticed a number of banner signs not in compliance with the City ordinance, evidently to increase business visibility during this time of the Covid-19 outbreak. While he agreed the commission should support Eden Prairie local businesses, he wished to know if there was leniency being granted or if the commission could inform the businesses and vendors these signs were non-conforming.

Klima replied that the City Manager had issued an order to loosen temporarily signage, parking requirements and outdoor dining during the pandemic. The businesses would be expected to again be compliant with Code after the emergency was over. She noted that enforcement practices in Eden Prairie are not proactive, but reactive as a result of information. Signage updates are a part of the planning divisions workplan.

Farr agreed with the passive enforcement and stated he wished to increase awareness. However, he was concerned that lack of awareness led to noncompliance. Pieper suggested the City needed to get through the pandemic first and then address this. Farr clarified non-conforming signs were an issue before the pandemic. Kirk agreed with Farr that ordinances should be enforced, but also agreed with the City Manager’s softening of the rules at this time: he could understand taking liberties but business owners should remember this was temporary and only allowed up to a point. The implication was, when the emergency ended, compliance would be enforced. Non-compliance at this time had to be reasonable, and he wished the commission to communicate how it understood business needs at this time, and compliance would again be expected after the pandemic was over.

VIII. ADJOURNMENT

MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Toomey to adjourn. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. The meeting was adjourned at 7:37 p.m. STAFF REPORT

TO: Planning Commission

FROM: Beth Novak-Krebs, Senior Planner

DATE: July 9, 2020

SUBJECT: The Lofts at Anderson Reserve

LOCATION: 9360 Hennepin Town Road

REQUEST: • Guide Plan Change from Medium Density Residential to Medium High Density Residential on 2.85 acres • Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 2.85 acres • Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 2.85 acres • Zoning District Change from Rural to RM-2.5 on 2.85 acres • Site Plan Review on 2.85 acres • Preliminary Plat to create 1 lot and 2 outlots on 2.85 acres

BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting approval to construct a 52-unit apartment building at 9360 Hennepin Town Road. The property is located on the west side of Hennepin Town Road ¼ mile south of Anderson Lakes Parkway.

Surrounding land uses include residential and commercial to the north, residential to the west and residential and open space to the south. Hennepin Town Road and Highway 169 run along the east side of the property. SITE The majority of the homes in the immediate residential neighborhood are ramblers and split level homes. The proposal includes a 3- story apartment building.

The property is 2.85 acres and currently includes a single family home. The land is generally flat with a small wetland on the west and east side of the property. The eastern 2/3 of the Staff Report – The Lofts at Anderson Reserve Page 2

property is wooded with some trees around the perimeter of the property.

The applicant is proposing 52 units on 2.85 acres resulting in a proposed density of 18.25 dwelling units per acre. The proposed building includes 54 underground parking stalls including 2 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. The proposed unit mix is 13 one-bedroom units, 25 two-bedroom units, and 14 three-bedroom units. The proposal also includes 50 surface parking stalls.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT In the Aspire 2040 Plan, the property is currently guided Medium Density Residential. This land use designation allows 5 to 14 dwelling units per acre. The primary housing type in this land use designation includes single family attached where residences are stacked horizontally or vertically. This includes apartments, condominiums, senior housing developments, townhomes, and row houses.

The 2030 Comprehensive Plan guided the property Low Density Residential. The following factors were considered when guiding the property to Medium Density Residential in Aspire 2040. • The parcel configuration and the presence of wetlands pose challenges to develop with single family residential. • The property does not allow for a direct connection to and an extension of the existing single family neighborhoods adjacent to this property. • The City has a significant supply of existing single family development. Through various public engagement platforms during the Aspire 2040 process, the public expressed a desire for the development of various types of housing in the community. • The property is accessed from a major collector roadway. • The Medium Density Residential Land Use Category allows for an increase in density while maintaining the ability to transition between the adjacent single family development. • Drafting the Aspire 2040 document was a multi-year process, which included focus group meetings, online engagement and multiple workshops with the City Council. Increasing density on infill sites provided a public process is required for such development and the projects have proper transitions to adjacent development was a supported approach.

The property is identified as an infill site on the Infill Development Sites Map in the Aspire 2040 Plan. Through the Aspire process, the City Council discussed infill development sites noting that proposed development should address a variety of items such as, existing environment and character of the surrounding developments, pedestrian and vehicular connections, and housing product type in order to provide lifecycle housing options for the community.

The Aspire 2040 Plan was adopted on October 1, 2019. Since the adoption of the Plan, there has been one amendment to the Plan. Although there have been a number of recent Comprehensive Plan amendments, those were amendments to the 2030 Plan, which was at the end of its functional life and was in need of updating due to changes in policy and community trends. This is the first year of the Aspire 2040 Plan. 2 Staff Report – The Lofts at Anderson Reserve Page 3

The applicant is requesting approval to reguide the property to Medium High Density Residential. This land use designation allows 14 to 40 dwelling units per acre. The primary housing type in this land use designation includes multifamily housing where residences are stacked horizontally or vertically. Similar to the Medium Density Residential designation, this designation allows apartments, condominiums, and senior housing developments.

The Aspire 2040 Medium Density Residential Land Use Category allows a maximum density of 14 dwelling units per acre. At 2.85 acres, this property would be allowed 40 total units. The Medium High Density Residential Land Use Category allows a density of 14-40 units per acre. The applicant is proposing 18.25 units per acre for a total of 52 units. This is a difference of 12 units.

The following table notes the difference in units, vehicle trips, parking and population between the proposed development and developing the property consistent with the Medium Density Residential guiding at 14 units per acre.

Total Units Total Weekday Parking *Population Daily Vehicle Trips Required Proposal 52 283 104 130 Medium Density 40 218 80 100 Residential

Difference 12 65 24 30 *Population numbers are based on 2.5 person per household

ZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT The property is currently zoned Rural, which is not consistent with the guiding of the property in Aspire 2040. Therefore, the applicant is requesting approval to change the zoning to RM-2.5. This zoning district allows for attached dwelling units. Although the Medium High Density Residential guiding allows 14-40 units per acre, the RM-2.5 Zoning District allows a maximum density

Proposed Preliminary Plat

3 Staff Report – The Lofts at Anderson Reserve Page 4

of 17.4 dwelling units per acre. The applicant has requested a waiver to allow 18.25 units per acre.

There are several apartment projects in Eden Prairie with similarities to the proposed project. The following table shows the number of units, density, height, and distance from the multifamily building to the adjacent single family buildings.

The Lofts at 9360 Hennepin 52 2.85 18.25 3 Between 125 feet and 400 Anderson Town Road feet to single family Reserve

The applicant is proposing a preliminary plat that would create one lot for the building and parking and one outlot for each wetland. The applicant is proposing to deed the outlots to the City. The City will maintain and preserve the wetlands.

SITE PLAN The building is situated parallel to the south property line between the two wetlands on the property. There is surface parking on the north side of the building. The only vehicular access to the site is from Hennepin Town Road with the access drive coming into the site along the north property line.

Access to the underground parking is located on the east end of the building. There is a tot lot south of the main entrance to the building with seating areas along the sidewalk in front of the building and at the main entrance to the building. The plan also includes a 4 foot wide woodchip trail around the wetland in 4 Staff Report – The Lofts at Anderson Reserve Page 5 the rear of the property. Seating areas are located along the trail.

Proposed Site Plan

BUILDING ARCHITECTURE The proposed building is 3 stories. The building height is 35 feet to the roof deck and 40 feet to the top of the parapet. City Code allows a building height of 45 feet.

The building facades comply with the architectural standards required by City Code. The building articulation includes a number of projections, material changes, and roofline variation that creates visual interest. The main building entrance is designed as a focal point along the north elevation by projecting the entrance out from the front facade and incorporating an awning.

The building materials include cast stone, glass, and fiber cement siding, which are all Class I materials. The north, south and west facades exceed the City Code requirements of 75% Class I material. The east façade includes 73% Class I materials. The applicant must revise the plans to provide 75% Class I materials on the east façade. The applicant is also proposing color changes to provide visual variety and interest.

5 Staff Report – The Lofts at Anderson Reserve Page 6

AFFORDABILITY The applicant is proposing a mixed occupancy housing development with 90% (47) of the units reserved for households with incomes of 60% or less of the area median income, and the remaining units available to households with incomes at 80% AMI.

From an affordability perspective the project is consistent with the Aspire 2040 goal of encouraging new low-to-moderate housing developments to meet local and regional need, and the strategy to explore opportunities to appropriately increase housing density in established residential neighborhoods. At 52 units, the project is also consistently sized compared to other Low Income Housing Tax Credit program (the proposed primary funding source) properties which over the last 5 years have averaged 54 units according to data from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. The units affordable at 60% of the area median income (AMI) level qualify for the program and are of a number sufficient to raise enough tax credit equity to make the project financially feasible.

To provide perspective on the incomes of prospective tenants it is instructive to convert the affordability level to potential household incomes. For example, for the units affordable to households earning 60% or less of AMI, a household of two could earn up to $49,680 and a family of four $62,040. At 80% of the AMI, a two person household could earn up to $66,240 and a four person household $82,720. These household incomes are indicative of occupations such as teaching, health care work, policing, and many more professions traditionally considered middle income.

TRAFFIC Hennepin Town Road is designated as a Major Collector on the eastern boundary of the property and provides access to the property. Hennepin Town Road provides access to Highway 169 via the interchanges at Anderson Lakes Parkway and Pioneer Trail. The proposal includes one access point to the property and does not connect with any neighboring local streets.

A collector road or distributor road is a low-to-moderate-capacity road which serves to move traffic from local streets to arterial roads. Unlike arterials, collector roads are designed to provide access to residential properties.

The applicant submitted data about the anticipated number of vehicle trips going into and coming out of the property. The information is gathered from the ITE Trip Generation manual. The information from the manual indicates that there could be a total of 19 trips during the am peak time period and a total of 23 trips during the pm peak time period. The manual uses 5.44 trips per unit per day to estimate the total number of trips per day. At the proposed 52 units, there could be a total of 283 trips per day for the property.

Based on the classification of Hennepin Town Road, the capacity range of a major collector is 1,100 – 6,300 vehicles per day. This varies depending on proper driveway spacing, lane width, speed 6 Staff Report – The Lofts at Anderson Reserve Page 7

limit, pedestrian facilities and access. The average daily traffic counted on Hennepin Town Road in 2016 was 3,444. The proposed project is expected to add 283 vehicles per day.

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS The purpose of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) as stated in the City Code is to provide for a more creative and efficient approach to the use of land within the City; to allow variety in the types of environment available to people and distribution of overall density of population and intensity of land use where desirable and feasible; and provide for greater creativity and flexibility in environmental design.

As a part of the PUD, the applicant is seeking waivers to City Code requirements as outlined below. 1. Density and Site Area Per Dwelling Unit – City Code allows a maximum density of 17.4 dwelling units per acre in the RM-2.5 Zoning District. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow a project density of 18.25 dwelling units per acre. In addition, City Code requires a site area of 2,500 square feet per dwelling unit or 130,000 square feet (2.98 acres). The site area is 2.85 acres. The applicant is requesting a waiver to reduce the site area per dwelling unit to 2,387 or 124,124 square feet.

2. Group Usable Open Space – City Code requires 600 square feet of group usable open space per unit. The applicant is requesting a waiver to reduce the group usable open space to 130 square feet per unit. Group usable open space is defined as land area and facilities designated for group recreation or social activities. The applicant is proposing to provide indoor and outdoor common space to provide areas for residents to gather and interact. The indoor space includes a community room, a fitness center, a common office space and the lobby. The outdoor spaces include a tot lot, a seating area near the main entrance, seating areas along the sidewalk in front of the building, and a woodchip trail with seating areas around the wetland at the back of the property.

The waiver request is consistent with recently approved waivers for group usable open space as shown in the following table:

Project Zoning Number Area of Group Total Area of Total Area Per Unit GUOS of Units Usable Open Space GUOS of GUOS Approved by (GUOS) Required Required (Sq. Provided Waiver (Sq. Ft.) Per Unit (Sq. Ft.) Ft.) (Sq. Ft.)

Complying with the Group Usable Open Space requirement has routinely been an issue for projects. The requirement has been in place since 1969. Multifamily development styles and layouts have changed over the decades potentially leading to this requirement being outdated. Most projects require a waiver for Group Usable Open Space. This indicates that the requirement is out of date and staff intends to research and update this requirement.

3. Parking Stall Depth and Drive Aisle Width - City Code requires parking stalls to have dimensions of 9 feet wide by 19 feet deep with a drive aisle width of 25 feet. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow a parking stall depth of 18 feet with a drive aisle of 24 feet.

The requested waiver is consistent with similar waivers approved for other projects. A 9 foot wide by 18 foot deep parking stall and a 24 foot wide drive aisle are functional for parking and maneuvering.

LANDSCAPE AND TREE REPLACEMENT PLAN The project requires 192 caliper inches for landscaping. The project includes foundation plantings, parking lot screening, and plantings near the front entrance to the building. The number of proposed caliper inches for landscaping complies with City Code; however, Code requires the plan to be revised to include plantings in the islands at the end of the parking rows. The Landscape Plan includes 280 caliper inches with 192 caliper inches for landscaping and the remaining 88 caliper inches to be applied toward tree replacement.

The project requires 434 caliper inches for tree replacement. Some of the existing significant and heritage trees currently providing screening between this property and adjacent uses will be saved. The caliper inches from some these significant and heritage trees is being applied to tree replacement. The credit for the significant and heritage trees and the credit from the landscaping caliper inches brings the requirement from 608 caliper inches to 434 caliper inches of required tree replacement, which does not comply with the City Code. In order to comply, the applicant will be required to make a cash payment as calculated in accordance with the fee schedule in effect at the time of issuance of the Land Alteration Permit.

SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS There is an existing paved trail along the west side of Hennepin Town Road. The sidewalks internal to the site will connect to the trail. This will provide residents access to commercial uses to the north and to a more extensive trail system.

The applicant is proposing 4 foot wide woodchip trails and seating areas around the wetland in the rear of the property. This provides for passive recreational opportunities.

8 Staff Report – The Lofts at Anderson Reserve Page 9

DRAINAGE The existing parcel consists of a single family residential home, while the remainder is generally wooded. The parcel currently drains to two on-site wetlands. The wetlands ultimately drain to the east under Hennepin Town Road to Woodbridge Marsh in Bloomington.

The proposed development will direct runoff from impervious surfaces to two underground stormwater filtration systems located beneath the entrance and parking area. The filtration systems remove stormwater pollutants and provide rate control for the stormwater discharges. A stormwater reuse system also collects runoff from the roof of the proposed building in a cistern for use for on-site irrigation.

The filtration systems discharge to Wetland 24-44-B. This wetland is being slightly regraded to create additional storage to account for the additional influx of stormwater discharge from the increased impervious surface. The graded area within the wetland buffer is proposed to be restored with native grasses. The developer has indicated that grading around Wetland 2 will not impact the hydrology to the point of changing the wetland Type or functions. The developer has indicated that the western wetland will not be impacted by the development.

LIGHTING The proposed lighting plan includes 5 pole lights to provide lighting for the parking lot and drive into the site. The proposal also includes wall lighting on the north side of the building to provide lighting for the doors, main entrance area and garage entrance. Lighting is not proposed on the south, west and east sides of the building. The exterior lighting complies with City Code requirements. All of the proposed lighting includes downcast fixtures and LED bulbs.

SIGNS The applicant is proposing a sign on the awning over the main entrance. The applicant is required to have a sign at the entrance into the site that includes addresses for emergency vehicle purposes. The sign plan that complies with City Code.

UTILITIES There is an existing water main along Hennepin Town Road with service available to the subject property. The applicant is proposing to connect water service to the water main. The water main has capacity to accommodate the development.

The closest existing sanitary sewer main is approximately 160 feet north of the property in Clark Circle. The applicant is proposing to connect to the main located in Clark Circle and extend a sewer to the subject property through an existing drainage and utility easement. There is capacity in the sanitary sewer main for the proposed development. The applicant is proposing a private lift station to get flows to a forcemain and back to Clark Circle.

NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND RESIDENT INPUT The applicant arranged for neighborhood input through email communications between the dates of May 18, 2020 through May 21, 2020. Residents were invited to review project related material provided by the applicant and send in emails with questions and comments. The applicant then compiled the questions and comments and provided responses back to the residents that sent in emails. Based on the residents desire to have a more interactive meeting, the applicant subsequently held a Zoom meeting with the neighbors on June 3, 2020. According to the applicant, the main questions and comments from the neighborhood engagement included unit type and occupancy, building height, traffic, affordability, density, and current guiding.

The City received 57 emails from residents with comments about the proposed project. In addition, the neighborhood organized a petition that was circulated for signatures. The emails and the petition are attached to this report for your review and will be made part of the public record.

SUSTAINABILITY The applicant is proposing a number of sustainable features in this project as listed below:

• The project will meet the new construction guidelines for the 2020 MN Overlay to the 2015 • Enterprise Green Community Criteria. • Utilize Xcel Energy’s “Energy Design Assistance” (EDA) program in designing the building envelope, HVAC systems and lighting control • Rainwater harvesting system for irrigation • Electric Vehicle Charging Stations • Energy Star appliances • Low VOC materials • LED light fixtures and water conserving plumbing fixtures • Roof structure and electrical system designed to facilitate future installation of solar panels • Provide central recycling facilities (in addition to central trash collection) • Bike parking at each interior garage parking stall, as well as exterior bike rack for visitors

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the project maintain consistency with the Aspire 2040 guiding of Medium Density Residential with a density of 5-14 dwelling units per acre. In order to maintain consistency, the plans must be redrawn using the standards of the RM-6.5 zoning district. Because the redraw would require a rezone and different waivers requests, further staff analysis will be required.

Name Location Date Comment

Megan Smith Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-21 "I am concerned about the harm resulting from their destroying wetlands as well as the dangerous precident this could set with zoning codes if this passes. This could make it easier for other developers to come in and argue to preserve other zoning codes and destroy more nature in EP. I also am concerned that a low income speciﬁc apartment building might decrease property value in the area and potentially lead to a spike in crime in an area that already has had a string of violent crimes over the past year."

Carolyn Post Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-21 "We need to protect the home values in Eden prairie."

Kerry Brons Minneapolis, MN 2020-05-21 "The amount of extra car traﬃc is part of what really got to me. I have a tween kiddo who likes to bike in the area, and another kid who is just waiting to be allowed to go a little further without me in his direct presence. We chose this area because of its proximity to the grocery store and the highway, but the walkability numbers would go way down with so much more traﬃc to contend with!"

Lindsey Christ Minneapolis, MN 2020-05-21 "I do not want such a large building and number of residents to change the character and environment of the neighborhood. I would support a smaller structure for less traﬃc, lower building proﬁle, and less degradation of the green space in this area."

Brian Hathaway Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-21 "Eden prairie is known for its natural beauty. Let's keep it that way."

Linda Pommeranz Waterville, MN 2020-05-22 "This housing unit does not belong in a neighborhood such as this. Leave the wetland area as it is!"

Susan Smerz Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-22 "We need to zone residential areas as low density, so with houses nearby please do not build a large unit that towers over homes in our town!"

Mary Lou Christenson Minneapolis, MN 2020-05-22 "I'm signing this to support my friends."

Kelly Clement US 2020-05-22 "Give me a break. EP must be desperate"

TROY RICKHEIM BLOOMINGTON, 2020-05-23 "We don't need this. Why destroy another nice nature area." MN

Jenn Herron Bloomington, MN 2020-05-23 "Other than taxes, there is no reason to exceed the capacity already zoned for the area. It's a quick ﬁx for city income but eventually those taxes will be needed for road maintenance, accident reduction, and virus response efforts which are all necessary with dense populations. Keep it zoned for its capacity."

Gary Grammens Bloomington, MN 2020-05-23 "That area is not suitable for high density apartments. I agree with my neighbors who live closer."

Dennis Weiss Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-23 "Enough Apartment complexes in Eden Prairie already we need to keep our home values up" Name Location Date Comment

Donna Crawford Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-23 "Enough of this! They are destroying eden prairie with all this crap!"

Julia DePew Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-23 "The loss of wetlands and trees has a negative effect on the wildlife that makes the Preserve so beautiful."

Allison Hofmeister Shakopee, MN 2020-05-23 "It’s so disturbing and upsetting to me to see the constant clearing of land to build yet another apartment complex, or grocery store, or whatever it may be. Why not build in a place that has already had a structure on it ready to be renovated or torn down and rebuilt? Too many animals are losing their homes. Too many beautiful trees and wooded areas are being destroyed for selﬁsh reasons. It needs to stop."

Natasha Scovill Saint Paul, MN 2020-05-23 "Protect the environment"

Gail Cheney Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-24 "This area is too compact already. Traﬃc is bad at rush hour because Hennepin Town Rd is used as a thorough fare to 169."

Cathy Neumann Minneapolis, MN 2020-05-24 "There seem to be so many apartment complexes available now, don't know why more are needed. So much traﬃc on Townline now."

Jeff Gerst Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-24 "I have lived in the neighborhood for 20 years. I am not a NIMBY-person. I recognize something will go in this space, but rezoning it for this for a medium density development is not an appropriate use for this space and will have a negative impact."

Corby Ziesman Santa Clara, CA 2020-05-24 "I don't want to see the loss of the area behind the house I grew up in."

Nancy Holte Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-24 "Nancy Holte"

Amber Ballman Hopkins, MN 2020-05-24 "I'm signing this because there are way too many apartment buildings in this city to begin with! It just makes the city look crimee and it wipes out the little bit of wildlife we have left shame on you people!"

Gretta Simonson Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-24 "Not the right place for this in Eden Prairie. This would invade a neighborhood surrounded by wetlands and established trees. It would push the wildlife out. Traﬃc on Hennepin Town Rd is already a problem at times. This would add to it."

April Prchal Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-24 "I live right there and walk by everyday with my dog! That would be horrible to see an apartment complex go there! Not happy!"

Jessica Robinson Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-25 "There are so many vacant empty commercial spaces around Eden Prairie. Why not rezone one of those spaces and turn them into apartments. Instead of destroying more natural land and turning into cement walls. Preserve the “The Perserve”. Btw traﬃc can be a nightmare when 169 is backed up. Hennepin Town road can’t handle more traﬃc."

Hetal Agrawal Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-25 "That quiet, remote area is not a good location for an apartment complex. Traﬃc on hennepin rd would be horrendous." Name Location Date Comment

Marcine McBride West Babylon, NY 2020-05-25 "These developers are crooks. They constantly want to rezone into higher density housing. They have no concern about the people already living in the area. All they care about is more money in their pockets. It's called white collar crime. They shouldn't be allowed to develop there at all. They're just destroying more environment and wildlife we so desperately need. Make it law that they require the public's approval for any future plans."

Catherine Groat Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-25 "I want to keep as much nature preserved in Eden Prairie as possible. That is one of the best things about this town!"

Jen Peruzzi Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-26 "I am signing because we need to take a pause on the development that is going like gang busters in Eden Prairie. Paying mind to what it does to our green spaces and increased burden on infrastructure"

Pauline Rohrman Minneapolis, MN 2020-05-26 "I am opposed to the signiﬁcant increased volume of traﬃc this apartment building will place on an already overtaxed 2-lane road."

Ahki Petite Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-26 "Because developers are greedy! And want to destroy nature to build over priced and cheaply made apartments that no one needs"

Kimlinh Bui Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-26 "From a traffic perspective, what a terrible location for an apartment complex. If EP was laid out in a grid (like Minneapolis) with multiple routes of ingress/egress, this wouldn't be a problem. But with a bunch of winding roads, dead ends/cul-de-sacs, our streets just aren't set up to handle heavy traffic flow. EP was set up to be a suburban haven. 50-100 extra cars getting from this dead-end area that's closed off by Hwy 169 means bottlenecks getting to/from Anderson Lakes Parkway."

Rachel Hicks Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-26 "This will be detrimental to the character of this area!"

Pasupathi Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-27 "I support this petition" Madheswaran

Harvey Andruss Minneapolis, MN 2020-05-27 "Ruining wetlands and mature trees to put up a project with odd access via Anderson Lakes (Jerry's) or Pioneer Trail (Walgreens) is really dumb. There are better spots in EP. Look along 212"

Lakshmi Bagavathiraj Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-27 "Lakshmi bagavathiraj" diane esterley eden prairie, MN 2020-05-29 "I do not want an apartment bldg. spoiling our neighborhood."

Mike Amundson Eden Prairie, MN 2020-05-31 "I am not in favor of re-zoning this area. I enjoy the serenity of wildlife and looking at the trees in the back of my property, most of which would be taken down in order to accommodate a 3-story building that I do not want to look at. This does not ﬁt well in my neighborhood of single-family homes and I think there are other, better-suited places to build this. Had something like this existed before I bought my house, I would not have purchased in this location. I am also concerned about the increased traﬃc along Hennepin Town Road that this would bring. Please keep this neighborhood an attractive place to live!"

Ann Reed Minneapolis, MN 2020-06-07 "We need less overcrowding in a nature preserve. Less traﬃc ﬂow." Name Location Date Comment

David Saari Minneapolis, MN 2020-06-11 "Our single family split level housing neighborhood doesn't want or need a 3 story high density housing complex built here."

Brandon Hesby Eden Prairie, MN 2020-06-16 "My family would be fortunate that ours isn’t one of the houses that backs up to the parking lots, but I would feel horrible for all of these people as this would change the landscape tremendously for them. The wildlife is one of my favorite parts of living in this area and wiping out all of these trees would destroy this habitat. Lastly, I can’t imagine crowding Hennepin town Road with more traﬃc, it already struggles during rush hours."

Stephanie MacPhail eden prairie, MN 2020-06-16 "This is why 3 billion birds have been lost since the 70s. Enough already."

Laura Casey Eden Prairie, MN 2020-06-17 "Tired of properties being built like this in our city."

Stacey Stelter Eden Prairie, MN 2020-06-17 "That area is incredibly busy an"

Susan bissonette Saint Paul, MN 2020-06-18 "I’m concerned and oppose" Bissonette

Barbara Buehl Eden Prairie, MN 2020-06-19 "this is too high density for the size of the space. ItThe Senior living facility across the road is a good example with almost no yard for the residents to enjoy. This decreases the quality of life for not only the people living there but also for the neighborhoods."

Jacob Schmitz Eden Prairie, MN 2020-07-01 "If they want to build, ﬁne. But follow the law. Don't change the zoning rules."

comments from individual residents, which were received by the Planning Division From: Abby To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: Proposal for 9360 Hennepin Town Road Date: Wednesday, May 27, 2020 12:33:22 PM

Ms. Beth Novak-Krebs,

I am writing you regarding the proposal for a high-density apartment complex at 9360 Hennepin Town Road. As a resident of Squire Lane very close to this location, I feel I must express my concern with the proposal in its present state. Hennepin Town Road is an already busy frontage road, and the wetland lot at 9360 spills directly onto it. There is no more space to expand the road because on one side, there are homes, and along the other is 169. Traffic will naturally congest as a result.

The next concern I have is runoff from the parking lot proposed into the creek nearby. We have a lot of forest life in this area, including turtles and ducks that raise their young in the creek each year. The path lining the creek is the gem of the neighborhood partly due to this -- for example, on a recent walk, I saw 14 baby turtles and three ducklings. Preserving that wildlife is important to the neighborhood.

Property value is a concern as well, but I think if the density of the proposal was reduced and an environmental consultant brought on to assist in construction, it would resolve my concerns. We already have town homes and medium density apartment buildings in the area. They both fit the town and provide options for people who want to live here. Rezoning to high density just doesn't make sense for this particular lot.

Thank you for your time, and have a lovely day. From: Angela McKay To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: multi-unit housing project on Hennepin Town Road Date: Monday, May 25, 2020 3:49:03 PM

Ms Novak-Krebs,

I am writing today to voice my concern over the project referenced above and the developer's desire to apply for a variance to med-high density housing. A three-story apartment building shoehorned into that small lot along Hennepin Town Road will negatively impact the area - green space, traffic, and views from the surrounding residential homes. It is just way too close to houses on Garrison and Clark Circle. If you have driven on that street now between 3-6 pm, you know that it serves as a cutoff from people traveling south on 169 - they get off at Anderson Lakes Pkwy if traffic is bad and zoom down to Pioneer Trail or Riverview Road, to get back on 169. An apartment will make the poor traffic situation on that small road even worse.

I ask that the Eden Prairie Planning Commission please take a hard look at all options before granting this developer a variance, and how it might set a precedent for our city for the future.

Regards, Angie McKay Eden Prairie Resident From: bellemerj . To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: 9360 Hennepin Town Road Development Proposal Date: Tuesday, June 16, 2020 6:54:28 PM

Hi Beth,

We got your contact information from Erin and Garrett Pommeranz. We wanted to write to you to express our concerns over the proposed apartment complex development on Hennepin Town Road.

We have participated in a Zoom meeting with the developer to gather information.

We are extremely concerned about the amount of people the developer wants to occupy that piece of land. They are requesting a variance that we hope the City will not grant. The goal is not to pack as many people on to a piece of property in Eden Prairie that will fit. The goal is to make thoughtful decisions about how the available land is used. Changing this plot to medium/high occupency would be a mistake. The amount of wetlands and open area that would be lost is detrimental. We do not at all agree with the environmental study that MMR paid to have done. We can not accept that the only species that would be affected would be 1 type of snake, 1 type of bat and a species of bees. How is that possible? That area is home to rabbits, fox, coyotes, deer, turtles, frogs, snakes, and MANY more creatures. Where will they all go? Carving out 2 pieces of wetland to leave "untouched" while construction roars around that area on all sides is not going to preserve the wildlife. The proposed trails will disrupt that wild area. The water runoff from the chemicals from the blacktop pavement will have a negative impact, not to mention the salt in the winter and fertilizers on the grass in the warm months. All those chemicals won't make it to the sewer system.

The direct impact to houses on Clark Circle that back up to the proposed property would be immense. No one wants to have an apartment complex in their backyard. The proposal is trying to maximize the number of people to live in that zone and it's just too much. There was nothing said in the Zoom information meeting with the developer that assured me that residents from the apartment complex won't be walking through the backyards adjacent to the parking lot. There was no concrete plan for how the lights from cars parking at night won't shine directly into the homeowners windows.

The Zoom call with the developer had a nice upbeat tone, but they gave no concrete evidence that they could enforce any rule that they said they will give to their tenants. There aren't even property management people that will be onsite 24/7.

Eden Prairie needs affordable housing, but not at the expense of existing homes. The developer tried to say that our property values won't decrease, but they could not give one clear example of one of their properties being built so close to existing single family homes for us to garner any data from. They want to maximize the occupancy for the benefit of their financial bottom line. That is in no way beneficial to the homeowners in this area.

We urge you to reject their proposal and not grant the variances they are requesting. If they can't afford to build as the property is zoned then they need to build somewhere else.

Thank you for your time.

Hello,

I would like to extend my feelings of opposition for the proposed apt complex going into my neighborhood. This complex will not only destroy the wildlife and nature I enjoy walking my dog next to daily, it will destroy the enjoyment of this neighborhood. I can see how this land/property has the potential to bring more money to the area and local shops, however I don’t agree with the size of this option. There has to be a better way to still keep as much nature intact and also be able to make a profit. Please reconsider!

Concerned EP Resident,

Good afternoon Beth,

My husband (Larry Mueller) and I live in Bluff Country Village off of Hennepin Town Road at 9631 Belmont Rd. We feel strongly that we do not want this apartment complex being developed. It would drastically increase traffic in the area. Traffic is already a concern at rush hour times when persons exit 169 on the Anderson Lake Parkway exit and head south on Hennepin Town Rd. to get back on the freeway. There is a constant stream of traffic at the afternoon rush hour. Traffic has let up some since COVID-19. Also, as has been noted, this would require rezoning and we are not in support of that.

Please contact us if you need to discuss further.

Thank you for listening to our concerns.

Hello Beth, As a nearby resident on Amsden Way, I am opposed to the proposed apartment complex being for Hennepin Town Road. This is too dense a complex for the area/location amongst single family dwellings. The proposal is not appropriate for the site. Itdoes not provide for underground parking, thus creating a negative environmental impact on the area. Please do not approve this proposed complex. I am sure there are many more appropriate (larger) sites available, where a complex of this size would be a better option. Thank you, Barbara Pederson 9341 Amsden way Eden Prairie, MN From: [email protected] To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: 9360 Hennepin Town Road Date: Tuesday, June 16, 2020 9:39:05 AM

Beth,

I am one of many concerned about the new proposed 52 unit building. I am never for changing the zoning to accommodate the builders. We lost the Battle with the Bluffs, lets not be so quick to put that many into this community. Town homes would be just fine and more fitting to the neighborhood.

Brant Hutchins 9901 Lee Drive Eden Prairie, MN 55347 From: Brian Potter To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: Proposed apartment complex 9360 Hennepin Town Road Date: Monday, June 15, 2020 3:58:33 PM

Hi Beth, I've recently become aware of a proposed development project to squeeze apartments into 9360 Hennepin Town Rd. I felt it my civic duty to write you and express my opposition to this proposal. There are numerous negative consequences to developing this as medium-high density living. To name a few:

Increased traffic on Hennepin Town Road that would flow onto already busy Pioneer trail and Anderson Lakes Pkwy Decreased neighboring home values Added hardscape to an already diminishing natural beauty that was once Eden Prairie Leveling mature trees & disruption to natural wildlife Runoff concerns for the neighboring wetlands Higher population density equates to higher crime rates

Every nook and cranny in Eden Prairie continues to be developed chasing after that all-mighty tax dollar. We are only one voice of many raising concerns over this proposed project. I hope that our voice is heard and this developer's proposal is rejected.

Rgds, Brian and Stacia Potter 10055 Lee Dr Eden Prairie From: Brooke Barrett To: Beth Novak-Krebs Cc: [email protected] Subject: Opposition to rezoning 9360 Hennepin Town Road Date: Monday, June 15, 2020 7:04:48 PM

Hi Beth,

Thank you for your continued service to Eden Prairie, especially at this challenging time. We are writing in opposition to rezoning the density of 9360 Hennepin Town Road. We are 100% in support of affordable housing being built on this lot and throughout Eden Prairie, generally, however, we don't want to see lots rezoned to significantly higher density in already dense residential areas. Additionally, I don't have confidence that the traffic study presented by the developer is accurate given the 169-adjacent location and decrease in public transport service from Jerry's Market lot.

I have a Masters in Urban Policy with a focus on community development finance--so I do understand the challenges of developing affordability at the current density-- but I am confident that the current zoning would still allow for affordability to be built on that site while allowing the developer to make acceptable profits. If this developer can't do that with the property then Eden Prairie should explore, with the State's support, additional incentives or find a different, or perhaps non-profit, developer for the site.

Thank you, Brooke (and Ken) Barrett

612.805.7199 [c] [email protected] From: Bryan Cravens To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: Proposed Rezoning of 9360 Hennepin Town Road by MWF Properties Date: Friday, June 5, 2020 7:28:37 PM

Good evening, Ms. Novak-Krebs -

I am e-mailing you concerning the proposed 52-unit multi-family apartment building that MWF Properties has planned for 9360 Hennepin Town Road. While my wife and I are not in the immediate neighborhood behind or adjacent to the property and therefore were not given the chance to chime in on the planned development, we live on Linden Drive and will be affected by another high-density apartment building entering our area. Unfortunately, we were not living here at the time the City reviewed and approved the Prairie Bluffs high-density apartments down the road at Hennepin Town and Pioneer, or I would likely have brought up the same points outlined below. We are concerned primarily with the increased traffic may occur on an already busy Hennepin Town Road if 52 additional households were concentrated on the street, as well as this development "opening the box" for future high-density and commercial buildup in the immediate area.

MWF Properties appears to be asking for a medium-high density zoning change for its parcel. The Aspire 2040 plan, which I assume was meticulously thought-out, has the parcel in question zoned as a maximum medium-density similar to the townhome associations nearby to the south. With the exception of a few parcels/areas along Anderson Lakes, the bulk of medium-high or higher density zoning appears to be planned for areas near Eden Prairie Center and along the Flying Cloud Drive corridor. I'm making assumptions, but this zoning strategy is likely because of the proximity to potential jobs and services concentrated around Eden Prairie Center, as well as proximity to the SouthWest Transit hub located on the west side of Prairie Center Drive? I understand the latter will also serve as the end station for the planned LRT Green Line extension. If affordable housing must be high-density (see my next comment below), it would seem to me that the City would wish to remove/prevent as many obstacles to obtaining stable employment and access to businesses as is feasible.

It is also my opinion that, while there is great need for affordable housing in suburban areas, high-density housing is not an ideal means to expand affordable housing in suburban areas. I believe more of a "scattered-site" approach would not only keep housing density down in residential neighborhoods, but would also allow low-income households to better be part of and thrive in the communities to which they move. Provided I was permitted to review and agreed with the plan, I would fully support affordable housing on the parcel in question so long as it remained its current lower-density zoning. I understand higher-density builds can come with construction cost efficiencies; however, in many cases, for dignified low-income housing, the per-unit cost for an apartment building must be equal to or greater than the cost of acquiring and rehabbing, say, an existing townhome that has become vacant. I realize that lower-density housing in further-out residential areas could lead to transportation issues, and that is a trade-off to be considered.

Finally (and I'm making the assumption that MWF Properties is a for-profit developer), I do not personally support the development of affordable housing by for-profit developers. We are lucky to have many non-profit developers in the Twin Cities and the state that are able to focus on affordable housing; specifically, affordable senior housing of which there is a dearth in the Southwest Metro. I believe leveraging non-profit developers is a better use of taxpayer funds, as non-profits typically reinvest their developer fees into future affordable housing projects.

Thank you for taking the time to read this e-mail and address resident concerns.

1. The current property is a heavily wooded area, with wetlands on either side. Removing all these trees will have a negative impact on this area. We have already lost a lot of green to the expansion of Highway 169 and the widening of Anderson Lakes Parkway (at 169). Has there been an environmental study of this proposal?

2. The Preserve area of Eden Prairie already has a number of high density housing complexes. Yet another one would impact our school population, traffic and our property values in a negative manner.

3. The developer has been less than forthcoming. They gave notice of the project to neighbors within a very small radius of the proposed project, and say they will not have a public forum. This causes me to wonder how the property will be maintained.

Please do not change the zoning of this area. Keep Eden Prairie green and clean.

Thank you, Claire Roden

Ms. Novak-Krebs:

As a resident of Amsden Hills in the Preserve, I received information about a proposed apartment building on Hennepin Town Road. I did not receive this information from the development company, but from neighbors who live 100 yards closer to the proposed project. The land that this proposed apartment building and surrounding parking area would occupy is currently a heavily wooded lot, with at least one major gulley running through it. We walk along Hennepin Town Road frequently, and the area along that road is low lying, and whenever we have significant rainfall, there is standing water. I asked the development about environmental impact studies, and they answered that they didn’t have to do any. I find this disturbing, as they are proposing turning a large natural area into asphalt, and there are wetlands on either end of the proposed project.

We have lived in this neighborhood for several decades. We have seen a lot of changes – the expansion of Highway 169, the widening of Anderson Lakes Parkway, and the parking lot in the Preserve area among them. All of these have removed trees and green space from our neighborhood and negatively affected the noise and air quality of our homes. I really do not want to see more green space lost.

Additionally, there are many concerns about the increased traffic. Hennepin Town Rd. is used as an overflow for Highway 169 during peak traffic periods, in addition to being an access for the neighborhoods and the shopping centers on either end. Interestingly, the developer provide the results of a study that predicted the complex of 52 units would put only an additional 14 cars on Hennepin Town Road during rush hours. If that is the case, can I assume the other occupants of the units would be taking mass transit? But there is no access to mass transit from this part of Eden Prairie. There once was, but the bus service to Jerry’s was discontinued some years ago. Then, we would be doing these residents a disservice by putting them in a location that is not serviced by mass transit.

I would request that you deny the developer’s request to rezone this area.

Hi Beth,

I am emailing about the 9360 Hennepin Town road proposal for the large apartment complex. I am a new Eden Prairie resident who lives very close to the proposal (9460 Garrison Way) and I would like to lend my voice in support of the project; if anything, I wish it had more units designated for affordable housing at sub 50% AMI.

The only concern I have is the gross amount of parking this proposal has. It seems there are double the amount of parking spaces being built than there are units; considering the green space this community enjoys, why are we allowing the wiping out of more land to build yet another parking lot when we're in the middle of an incredible climate crisis? It seems the outdoor parking lot can be totally removed to me; it doesn't quite make sense there's a tiny tot lot and a giant parking lot. I would urge you to do whatever you can to get the developer to eliminate as many surface parking spots as possible.

My name is Debra Cross and I am opposed to the project being considered off HTR. We are already being affected by the homes built across from the Lutheran Church and the senior living facility off hwy 169. An uptick in traffic, polution, and noise. We had two beautiful, wooded areas that had wildlife and fauna thriving and they were decimated in order to put extremely large homes or housing units in spaces that are way too small to accomodate them. There is an increase in animal deaths and by removing their homes and food sources, they are in danger of starving. People complain about the encroachment of animals but if you take away their livelihood, they have no choice but to be in people's yards. It is too large of a project period. We also have a unit next to ours that is owned by the Met Council and to put it bluntly, we have had nothing but problems with everyone that has moved in. Police being called, management companies being called. People not on the lease moving in. Noise and garbage and pets not approved. It has been a nightmare. I am not in favor of this on a larger scale. People move to the burbs in order to get peace and quiet. Please reconsider this project. Thank you, Debra Cross

We own a home at 9290 Garrison Way, just a short distance from the proposed apartment complex. The area has been zoned for the benefit of our residents and families in this area of Eden Prairie. The city has generously provided affordable apartment living throughout Eden Prairie, and these buildings have been built on land zoned for high density living. The proposed building would be placed in an area not designed for increased traffic and would be an eye-sore for residents who purchased homes based on a this quiet, safe neighborhood.

It is our opinion that in addition to the increased traffic and subsequent safety issues, the proposed structure at 3 stories tall doesn't represent the character of our community, especially when pinned against the Preserve housing development. This proposed structure will butt up against many homes on Clark Circle and Garrison Way possibly impacting our home values. Eden Prairie has generally been open to new development but not in residential neighborhoods. Rezoning this property does nothing to enhance our neighborhood or our surroundings. We strongly recommend the board to leave the zoning as is on this property and not approve rezoning to high density.

Take care and have a great day,

Good afternoon Julie,

We received notice that MWF Properties is proposing to develop a 52-unit multifamily housing project at 9360 Hennepin Town Road in Eden Prairie. It is our understanding that the developer will be requesting that the land be rezoned to accommodate the proposed 3-story apartment complex. According to the city zoning map, this property is zoned Rural. We live in close proximity to the site and object to this land being re-zoned for higher density housing. Please advise us of all contacts at the city who are involved with or may influence the rezoning decision, so we may let our objection to the rezoning of this property be known.

Are all the drawings and documents that have been submitted to the city for this project available for the public to view at the Eden Prairie City Center?

Thank you for your assistance, Doreen and Bill West

From: William West To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: Proposed Development - The Lofts at Anderson Reserve Date: Saturday, July 4, 2020 4:10:23 PM

To the City of Eden Prairie Planning Department, Planning Commission, and City Council: We are writing to voice our objections to the MWF Properties proposed development project, The Lofts at Anderson Reserve (The Lofts) to be located at 9360 Hennepin Town Road. Our home is at 9480 Garrison Way and is located within 500’ of the site MWF wants to develop. Our objections to this project are related to the negative impact the proposed PUD waivers will have on the tenants. MWF Properties says this project is not economically feasible unless they can get multiple City Code waivers that will allow them to cram more people than is normally allowed into a small, unsuitable space. MWF’s profits are not the City’s concern. This project does not provide appropriate affordable housing that meets Eden Prairie City Code or the intended zoning density. The developer is exhibiting their disregard for the intended tenants and the area’s residents by requesting much higher density zoning than warranted for the site, and by the type and number of PUD waivers they are requesting. Each of the PUD waivers the developer is requesting – higher zoning density, smaller units, smaller driveway, smaller parking spaces, less than 22% of the required group open space (130 SF desired vs. 600 SF Per Code) would deny the tenants the required living spaces the City has mandated. The narrow trail around the wetland area should not be treated as “group open space” when it clearly is not suitable for groups. These waivers add up to MWF profiting by renting poorly located sub-standard housing to people who have limited resources, while providing generous tax credits for the investors. This is wrong! The Lofts are designated as low-income housing, however, there is no regular bus service to this area. No commuter busses run in this area. When I mentioned this during the MWF Zoom meeting, Peter Worthington’s answer was that MWF expects tenants will have one or two vehicles per unit. We question this assumption, because at least half of the apartment dwellers we know do not have vehicles. It should be a requirement to have bus service available near such high-density developments, especially developments for low-income families. The only food available within walking distance of The Lofts is sold at either a luxury grocery store (Jerry’s) or fast food outlets and a gas station. The proposed tenants may have no other options since their transportation options are very limited. This situation would hurt the lowest-income families the most. The ‘tot lot’ shown on the plans is only 29 feet in diameter and is located at the edge of the parking lot - an inherently dangerous location. The developer is expecting 46 children, but there is no safe play area for children older than 5 anywhere close, so older children and teens will find other nearby places to congregate. Anderson Lakes Regional Park, mentioned in the Project Narrative as a walk-to recreation area, is a dense forest with trails that can be accessed only by crossing a busy intersection. It is not open space and it is not a suitable playground for children. The nearest Eden Prairie city park / playground is over a mile away! School busses will need to stop on a 2-lane, 45 MPH frontage road! This is a setup for tragedy! According to my sources, the inverted-V roof design is not well-suited to either the site or to Minnesota’s climate. The roof valley is likely to collect snow, ice, debris, etc. that will clog the drains resulting in leaks and mold growth. The claim that the roof design will help collect and re-use rainwater for irrigation seems odd for a building located adjacent to wetlands. The roof will be mostly hidden in the trees, so why invite trouble by incorporating such a strange design? It defies common sense.

Would you like your own children (or grandchildren) to grow up under these conditions? This lot was designated as Infill, medium density residential in the land use plan approved by the City Council less than one year ago. The Lofts at Anderson Reserve proposal does not conform to the Comprehensive Plan. Stick to the plan. This is not a good fit for the site. Please reject this proposal.

Sincerely,

City of Eden Prairie Planning Commission

Dear Members of the Planning Commission,

I am writing to you about the proposed development of a multifamily apartment complex at 9360 Hennepin Town Road. As one of the neighboring properties, I have some concerns with this development. While I understand the need for more affordable housing in the city, I believe this development does not match with how Eden Prairie should grow. Below are my concerns:

1. As part of the Aspire Eden Prairie 2040, this land is guided for medium density. I am in support of this for a development such as townhomes. The proposed apartment complex would be in the medium-high density and I believe this is too high of density for a development that directly abuts backyards. 2. I am concerned about the increased traffic that will be present on Hennepin Town Road as this is the only access point for the apartment. There are already large backups with the current traffic flow especially during rush hour with commuters using Hennepin Town Road to bypass Hwy 169 between Anderson Lakes Parkway and Pioneer Trail. Adding a 52 unit apartment complex will greatly increase the traffic congestion and potential safety concerns along Hennepin Town Road. 3. The proposed development has the parking lot facing north which abuts homes in the Preserve Neighbor. As the project is proposing clearing many of the large trees on the site, there will be little to block the parking lot lights and headlights from cars entering and exiting the property. There is no wall or fence proposed that will reduce the amount of light. Thus the homeowner backyards that abut the parking lot will likely see lots of light. 4. As the parking lot and entrance to the property are north facing, there is concern that residents will cross through the backyard areas of the single family homes to reach the shopping complex with Jerry’s Grocery, Starbucks, and other stores. The entrance to the cul-de-sac has a path that provides convenient access to the shopping area. This is the shortest route and there are no natural barriers to prevent this. The proximity of the parking lot to the neighboring homes backyards provides easy access. I have attached a plan view of the area that indicates where the path is located. 5. There are many established trees in this lot and this development will require clearing of all the trees, completely altering the look. I have attached pictures of the backyard that show how the backyard area will be substantially changed and that the natural barrier between the backyards and the apartment complex will be removed. 6. It does not feel like either the parking lot or the apartment (were the location of the parking lot and apartment complex flipped) that there is enough setback to not feel like they are right are top of the homeowners. 7. The impact on the wetland areas in that lot as well as the runoff that will inevitably reach the yards of the adjacent homes as well as run off into the designated wetland area. This would include paving materials, motor oil, gasoline, and miscellaneous trash that is in the parking lot. Currently after a moderate rainfall there is standing water in the backyards and I am concerned that the hardscape will only increase this. 8. The developer is asking for multiple PUD waivers including the amount of space per resident which makes it feel like the complex is simply too large for the area. 9. The apartment complex sewer will connect to the sewer line in the cul-de-sac. To make this connection will require major construction at our driveway entrance. I am also concerned as to whether the sewer line in the cul-de-sac is sized to add the additional waste from 52 units.

Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. I want to stress that I am not opposed to development of this property, but I am opposed to this size of a development. I believe this area is better to suiter to lower density housing such as townhomes which fits with the Aspire Eden Prairie 2040 guidance plan.

Sincerely,

Garrett Pommeranz

Trees Removed From: Greg Roden To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: Rezoning of 9360 Hennepin Town Road to Medium-High Density. Date: Saturday, May 23, 2020 8:07:03 PM

Dear Beth Novak-Krebs,

Regarding the rezoning of 9360 Hennepin Town Road for a 3 story apartment complex, in addition to a radical change in use for this area, that area is not served by bus service, nor central to any civic and social services or facilities and, as such, is a poor location for the prospective residents. Accordingly, you would be doing them a disservice in order to gain some property tax. What rational reason is there for placing said apartment complex in this relatively removed location instead of in the proximity of the new light rail line?

Additionally, that portion of Hennepin Town Road, which borders Highway 169, is very noisy, apparently because of the amphitheater-like topography of 169 in that locale. I am nearly half a mile away from that area, and at times, in my back yard, it is like a wall of sound. An elevated 3 story apartment complex right there, a little over a hundred yards from the freeway, is a recipe for disaster.

Sincerely,

Greg Roden 9301 Talus Circle Eden Prairie, MN 55347 [email protected]

From: Jake Reiter To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: The Lofts at Anderson Preserve Date: Wednesday, July 8, 2020 9:50:45 PM

Hi Beth,

I have received the letters about the proposed re-zoning of the Preserve for the proposal of the apartment building. I wanted to write in my written comment for review and to be included in the hearing. I live on Garrison Way and this proposed building plan would be terrible for our neighborhood.

This building project cannot happen. Not only is the land zoned for 1/10th of the proposed building size, it will affect us as homeowner's in many ways:

- It will take away our current views of nature and instead become a view of a parking lot and a large building - It would no longer be the Preserve, but another concrete backyard view, taking away the uniqueness of this neighborhood - As members of the Preserve we cannot build a fence, so there is no way we can block out this proposed new view - Overall height of proposed building over the tree line would be an eyesore - Safety concerns, as we would lose the privacy of our property, and anyone would have easy access to our backyards - Loss of property value/desirable neighborhood with our backyard view diminished

The economy has been hit hard, we don't need another setback as our property values would certainly go down with this new proposed building!

We must protect our rights as homeowners in an Association, who pay a fee each year to be protected by that Association, based on these requirements from the City of Eden Prairie’s LAND USE REGULATIONS (ZONING)

[Chapter 11 City of Eden Prairie City Code, updated 05/2019]: Subd. 6. Site Plan and Architectural Design Review E. A Site Plan and Architectural Design may be evaluated according to its compliance with the following standards and provisions: 1. Adherence to, and consistency with, the City's policies and objectives as reflected in the Comprehensive Guide Plan; 2. Adherence to, and consistency with, the City's Code relating to zoning and the subdivision of land. 3. The preservation and enhancement of the natural and built environment as well as those modifications already affected by development and construction upon the land, including the minimization of: tree loss, soil removal, wetland, floodplain, lake and creek encroachment; and the maintenance of the general natural topography or physical grade of the land consistent with that of adjoining properties. 4. Maintenance of open space to provide a desirable environment both for occupants of the site and the general public. 5. Transitions where there are differences in land use, building mass, height, densities, and site intensity, in proximity to that which is the subject of the Site Plan and Architectural Design. Transitions may be accomplished by increased setbacks, berming, plantings, larger lot sizes, lower densities, lower flood area ratios, and smaller buildings. 6. Provision for safe and convenient vehicle and pedestrian traffic, including interior drives and parking arrangements which facilitate clear access to public streets, appropriate widths for drives and access points, and the separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. 7. The minimization of negative impacts upon other land uses of surface water run-off, noise, glare, odors, vibrations, dust, loading areas, parking areas, and refuse areas. 8. Compatibility of materials, textures, colors, and other construction details with other structures and uses in the vicinity. 9. Such other conditions and criteria as are reasonably related to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City and to preservation of the environment. Source: Ordinance

Please do the right thing and do not allow this building project to move forward!

A concerned homeowner,

Jake Reiter Garrison Way, Eden Prairie From: Jana Feld To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: Hennepin town road complex Date: Monday, June 15, 2020 9:45:21 PM

I recently heard about the proposed development on Hennepin Town Road and reviewed the plan. As someone who lives nearby ( I live just south of there on Squire Lane)- I do not believe the size of the unit proposed there is appropriate for the area. For the area and homes behind the proposed development this is way too big, it just does not fit with the surrounding area. There are also many walkers along that stretch and a lot of traffic as it is so to add in a building of this size and the increase in traffic for the area that it will bring just does not seem safe. There are many families with young kids (including myself) who use this stretch while biking to Jerry's and surrounding shops and it makes me quite nervous that there will be a lot of cars crossing the sidewalk here. I also feel horrible for the current homeowners living behind there. No one in Eden Prairie should have to have a large building and parking lot build within feet of their backyard. I do not support the building of this unit at its proposed size and I do not agree with rezoning the area for the larger complex. I hope the planning commission reconsiders this project.

Jana Feld From: Jan Kidd To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: Proposed rezoning of area at Highway 169 and Anderson Lakes, south of Jerry"s Date: Tuesday, May 26, 2020 11:46:25 AM

Dear Ms. Novak-Krebs:

I just learned about the proposed rezoning of the area south of Highway 169 and Anderson Lakes, changing to high density from medium density. I signed a petition, but thought perhaps a written protest of the rezoning could be shared with the developer and the city council.

I live just across Highway 169, in the Woodbridge Townhouses in Bloomington. Woodbridge addresses are 9400-9435 Woodbridge Road with 47 units. I'm at 9424 Woodbridge Drive. The back of my home faces Ensign, and beyond that, 169.

When the Woodbridge development was built (1982 - 1984) County Road 18 was to the west of Ensign, and was not a heavily traveled thoroughfare. .

From Wikipedia: "The freeway between Interstate 494 and Interstate 694 was originally built by Hennepin County as County Road 18. In 1988, County Road 18 was transferred to the state of Minnesota and became the new alignment for Highway 169 in the Minneapolis area. In exchange, Hennepin County took over maintenance of two other highways that were formerly state routes. In the Minneapolis area, U.S. 169 is often congested, but the freeway passes close to residential neighborhoods in many locations, so any expansion of the freeway would disrupt housing stock in the surrounding area."

The development of 169 greatly affected the noise level just east of 169. In addition to the Woodbridge development, there are several other (and larger) developments south of Woodbridge located along Ensign and Bloomington Ferry Road and Pioneer Trail.

My husband and I bought our home in 2004 knowing that 169 was there. It was busy, but the traffic lights through Eden Prairie and Bloomington (at Highwood, Anderson Lakes, and Pioneer Trail) slowed traffic, helping to keep the noise down. If there wasn't a berm for the 169 Anderson Lakes/Bloomington Ferry Road exits, I would be able to see Jerry's from my kitchen window. Since the traffic lights were removed, noise levels have increased each year. Right now, we can't sit on our screened porch and have a conversation during the busy parts of the day.

Additionally, the removal of the traffic lights on 169 resulted in increasing numbers of cars and motorcycles seeking ways to avoid congestion, weaving through our neighborhood making their way to 169 on Bloomington Ferry/Anderson Lakes, Pioneer Trail and Ensign. Traffic consistently ignores the 30 MPH speed limit and races by. Our association had to request the Bloomington Police Department install a "dead end" sign on Woodbridge Drive entering our complex because so much traffic turned in, hoping to find a faster through route.

Traffic on Ensign and Bloomington Ferry/Anderson Lakes again increased when the new senior living complex located in Eden Prairie at Town Line Road and Pioneer Trail opened last year.

Although we aren't Eden Prairie residents right now, we did live in EP from 1997- 2004. Luckily we were on a cul de sac on Burr Ridge Lane. After downsizing, and finding no affordable townhomes in EP, we were happy to find Woodbridge, very close to our prior home, EP Mall, Jerry's and the fabulous EP Library.

I entreat the powers that be to consider the effect of increasing to high density the zoning of the area just across the highway from us. I realize the number of units allowed is not substantially different, but I hope the concern of the increased traffic on both the Eden Prairie and Bloomington sides of 169 is not ignored in the decision- making process.

I would be happy to discuss should you need additional information or have questions.

Sincerely,

Janice A. Kidd 9424 Woodbridge Road Bloomington, MN 55438

Hi - I am opposed to rezoning the area to a medium high density area. We have already built up a senior living area nearby and there is plenty of multi family housing going up around the area and no need for increased density building. It would change the aesthetics dramatically by removing mature trees, adding more concrete etc, it will have a negative impact on the quiet neighborhood, and will increase traffic where there are a number of family homes. If we do get approval for this - will there also be an increase in police and first responders or do we continue to just increase population without consideration for those personnel changes? By increasing to a medium high density area - you are also negatively impacting the homes in the area. no one would want to have that built in their front/back yards. Please consider keeping the zoning as is - inline with Eden Prairie's initial long term plan.

Hi Beth! I've attached my letter to you and the City regarding the proposed development along Hennepin Town Rd in EP. Along with the letter could you answer the following questions? Thanks!

1) I understand a Jun 22th Planning commission meeting is planned. Could you provide the details to attend this meeting? I understand this development will be a part of a forthcoming July Planning Commission meeting, but I thought it would make sense to a attend a separate meeting to understand the general process.

2) Are you able to send the attached letter to the Planning Commission liaison Julie Klima? Could I get a copy of the profile of the Planning Commission members, Julie, and yourself?

Good Afternoon Ms. Novak-Krebs, I'm writing to strongly voice my concern and opposition about the lot development along Hennepin Town Rd. in Eden Prairie. I'm sure you've heard from many people in our community already, but I wanted to add my name to the list. An apartment complex on that road not only doesn't follow Eden Prairie's long term guidance plan, but requires many variances to fit the property into the area, has a parking lot that will bump up to the backyards of the adjacent homeowners and creates a large amount of hardscape on what is currently a wooded lot. A set of townhomes is one thing and would be a more natural fit into that space in keeping with the neighborhood, but a 52 unit apartment complex creates a host of complications and traffic problems on a small road/sidewalk where lots of kids and families walk each day.

Thank you for reading!

Julia Anderson From: Julia DePew To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: Apartment complex Date: Sunday, July 5, 2020 1:36:20 PM

Dear Ms. Krebs,

Please reconsider such a huge complex located next to Garrison. If you could make it smaller as the access frontage road is very small and I doubt it will support the increase in traffic.

Additionally, the current home owners will lose a great deal of value in their homes and such a tall structure will tower over a sleepy residential area and be quite an eyesore.

Please take in to account our little area and maintain its charm by just reducing the size.

Thank you.

Hello,

I would like to express my vote of 'no' for the new development.

Andersen, 169 and Pioneer Trail are overwhelmed with traffic now. Rush hour is a mess and the new tenants of your residence will not like the location.

We are also located at the south east end of Eden Prairie. Police are generally never down this way, they stay further west. Have you seen the size of Eden Prairie, it is huge....and their calls are concentrated more central. You might want to check on standard response time.

Understandable you are looking for land and location, however, the area you want to build is not that area for you.

I also know how hard it is to sway or beat a large development firm. The assisted living right off Normandy Crest was fought by the neighbors for years.

Will the value of the homes around it depreciate? Is this fair to the current homeowners? How about easy access in and out of the complex? Not sure that is obtainable.

Drive down 169 going south during rush hour...starting about 2:30-3:00-4:00-5:00-6:00 and sit in the traffic, it is a nightmare.

Hi Beth, My name is Kathy Michelau and I am the homeowner at 9681 Clark Circle in Eden Prairie. I am writing to express my concerns about the proposed housing project at 9360 Hennepin Town Road. I am one of several properties who would be adversely affected by this build. Having lived at my address for 28 years, we have enjoyed a quiet backyard and neighborhood, with the exception of some traffic noise from Hwy 169. My concern with re-zoning to accommodate a property this size is the impact it will have on the wetlands & woodland directly behind me, taking away wildlife, trees and the beauty of living in the preserve. A build this large means an increase of noise, lighting, and increased traffic volume on Hennepin Town Road and Anderson Lakes Parkway. With all of these potential changes my concern then is also the depreciation of our property values. Thank-you for your consideration of our concerns regarding the proposed re-zoning for this property. Sincerely, Kathy Michelau #952-210-9903

I am writing as a homeowner in the nearby Sherwood neighborhood. I am dissappointed to read that despite city guidance for 9360 Hennepin Town Road, Eden Prairie to be a medium density development. I have read the proposal to rezone it for medium-high density for a 52 unit apartment complex plus 54 surface parking stalls!

We, my husband and I, are opposed to the increased density on this land as it doesn't follow Eden Prairie's long term guidance plan, requires many variances to fit the property into the area, has a parking lot that will abut the backyards of the adjacent homeowners, creates a large amount of hardscape on what is currently a wooded lot and will remove numerous mature trees and disrupt the wildlife in this area. The traffic already exceeds desired flow of roads.

I support development as was previously zoned, rezoning disrupts the setting and traffic and disregards what the city intended with overall development.

Hi Beth-

I’ve been given your name to voice our opposition to the proposed apartment complex at 9360 Hennepin Town Road. Rezoning the property will only bring increased traffic, noise and reduced property values along with removal of wildlife and greenspace in the area.

We moved to EP 25 years ago- just as the 169 project was starting. Because this was before the internet, we had no idea this project was taking place. Now we listen to the whine of car tires on the 169 bridge- pretty much all day.

Eden Prairie DOES NOT need development in this area and we DO NOT approve of rezoning this land for additional hi-density housing.

Dear Beth,

As the owner of a townhome in the neighboring area, I oppose the development of medium- high density housing at 9360 Hennepin Town Road. The city guidance for this land is for medium density (e.g. Townhomes) where the developer wants to rezone it for medium-high density. In particular, we are concerned about the precedent this would set for the city. As part of the Aspire Eden Prairie 2040 zoning guidance, this would be the first one where the project is greater than what the guidance was, and will compromise the wellbeing of people living in adjacent homes, lead to removal of numerous mature trees and disrupt the wildlife in this area.

Please be advised, that the City of Eden Prairie government and people it employs - is elected to serve the residents of Eden Prairie - and therefore needs to honor and follow the guidance set forth for the wellbeing of the community and not an individual developer.

This is the voice of the community.

Thank you and we appreciate you!

Beth,

I’m writing to express concern about the request for rezoning to allow greater density housing in my neighborhood. I am opposed to the proposed 52 unit development on Hennepin Town road. I want the integrity of the neighborhood maintained and their proposal is just too many units for this area. I believe it is a detriment to the neighborhood to increase the density above the current zoning. I am in favor of maintaining the current zoning or decreasing the density, but definitely not increasing it!

Will you please be sure my comments are shared at the meeting on July 13th? If there is something further I need to do to be sure my voice is heard by the city council, will you please let me know?

Hello Ms. Novak-Krebs,

I live at 9661 Clark Circle with my wife and three kids. We moved here about 15 years ago and love EP! We knew when we moved in that the property behind us would someday be sold and something else would go in. I have gotten to know Goerge and know that the equity in his property was always part of his retirement plan.

What blew my mind when we received the notice from the developer was the sheer size of the project. Fifty-two units could house two hundred people. That is a lot to put in a single-family area. This would be a huge invasion of our privacy. The plan did not call for a berm or fence or anything. These folks would be looking right in our windows.

The impact on the land is also an issue. By sealing up that much of the land with building and parking lot the earth would be unable to soak up the rain and snow. The wetland and our back yards will be affected negatively. Years ago I had a drainage issue along the back of my yard. The new building had been built up about five feet from the former lot. When the city person came out with the map of drainage with the arrow of water flow he discovered that the original plan was not in play due to the developers of the lot to my north. They had blocked the water that was supposed to flow all the way to Jerry's.

I hope Eden Prairie will not allow the project to proceed as it stands right now.

Hello Ms. Novak-Krebs,

We are writing to share our objections to the proposed development of 52 units of multifamily apartment building behind our home. Our objection is of the size of the proposed building - we don't mind MWF building for the designated 5-14 units for which this lot is zoned. We purchased our home (9545 Garrison Way) over 16 years ago and frankly our favorite part of our home is the backyard surrounded by trees and bushes, which provide privacy and safety where we watched our 5 children grow up and play. Our grandchildren love to be here for very similar reasons.

We'd like to ask, hope, and expect that the City of Eden Prairie will uphold the Land Use Regulations (zoning) that is already in place which was established to secure our neighborhood. Our current natural habitat for big beautiful trees, deer, fox, and other wild animals would be destroyed with such a large apartment building (please see pictures from backyard below). Additionally, we are very concerned that:

1. Overall height of the apartment building will inevitably surpass the tree line 2. The loss of privacy in our home and property would be inevitable 3. Loss of the natural environment - mature trees, animal habitat, etc. 4. High population density would come to our neighborhood with all its negative challenges 5. Safety may become a bigger issue - there are many small children in our neighborhood today safely playing outside 6. Less desirable property/neighborhood, which of course results in loss of property value , View of backyard - upstairs on deck

Tree line view from backyard - upstairs deck View from backyard - downstairs

Thank you, in advance, for putting the preservation of our natural environment and of EP citizenship first.

Hello Ms. Novak-Krebs and the Eden Prairie Planning Commission,

I am writing in regards to the rezoning of 9360 Hennepin Town Road. My family recently moved into the area. One of the many things that drew us to Eden Prairie was the value that is placed on preserving nature while allowing a community to grow. I feel that a high density development does not fit with the community and will take away from the natural aspect of the neighborhood. Since living here I have felt a warm sense of community from the neighbors. People enjoy being outside and taking advantage of the natural beauty surrounding us. A high density development would mean an increase in traffic to the area which would make outdoor activities less enjoyable and pose a potential safety hazard. I also feel that it would set a poor precedence for other areas in Eden Prairie by not having the important balance between growth and care for the community as well as the environment. In light of this, I am asking that you not rezone 9360 Hennepin Town Road to medium-high density property. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kind regards, Marnee Lovering From: MICHAEL BLAKELY To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: 9360 Hennepin Town Road Date: Tuesday, June 16, 2020 7:26:13 AM

Good Morning,

Thank you for posting this. I’m a new resident to the state and a homeowner in Eden Prairie. I want to lend my support to this cause for all of the reasons stated in your post. We cannot move forward with projects like this in the year 2020 without taking a far more serious look about its impact on the environment. Adding more non-pourous, heat absorbing hardscape in the form of a giant parking lot in the place of a large swath of mature trees is an approach that should be rejected.

These large areas of trees scattered throughout neighborhoods - the birds and wildlife they house - are high among the features that drew my family to this area from Chicago.

One need only imagine themselves an existing homeowner next to this property to begin to see why a pause should be put on plan approval. Flooding due to Increased water runoff. Increased noise pollution. Increased traffic. People choose to move to a neighborhood because of its character. We should always exercise caution before we make a decision which can have lasting effects on a neighborhood such as this.

Although my wife and I live just across Highway 169 from the proposed housing project we know it will adversely affect us in many ways, not the least of which is dramatically increased traffic in what is already a high – traffic area. Case-in-point is the large multi-unit senior living building at the intersection of Eden Prairie Road and Pioneer Trail, which has already significantly increased traffic in the area.

Additionally, it is truly beyond factual and logical doubt that another multi-unit residential project in the area well adversely affect the fair market value of single-family houses surrounding it or near it.

As a representative of the people in Eden Prairie, and effectively those in immediately surrounding neighborhoods, I and others I have spoken to about this matter believe you and other Eden Prairie representatives, as well as surrounding community representatives, should by default weigh the positions of residents of the area more heavily than the desires—or even the legal threats—of a builder who has no stake in the affected communities other than turning a fine profit from the venture.

Thank you.

Dear Ms. Krebs:

I apologize for accidentally entering the wrong address in my last message opposing the above-referenced proposed project. But since my first message it struck me that a very good, or maybe even great, alternative use of the land would be development as a natural area of trails and a park with activities for children. Bids could then be let by the city for that development, which I am confident would be met with no objections from the vast majority of surrounding residents. (Perhaps the developer for the proposed multi-unit project would want to bid on a project which I believe would result in little, if any, objection.)

Thank you (again).

Hello,

I am writing concerning the proposed rezoning and development at 9360 Hennepin Town Road (aka “The Lofts at Anderson Reserve”). As one of the residents in Eden Prairie who lives near this property, this greatly concerns me.

In my back yard, I have always enjoyed the peace, tranquility, and privacy that I have had over the last 15 years I have lived at my house. I find the proposal of having a 3- 4 story large complex disturbing. The land is currently not zoned to support such a large building occupancy, and I am not in favor of having it re-zoned for several reasons.

1. I live in a neighborhood with single-family homes, and that is what I desire to have around me. 2. I am concerned about the negative effect it will have on our property values. 3. I am concerned about the privacy we will have in our backyards and houses with people being able to look out a 3rd story window into them. 4. I am concerned that there is no fence proposed on this property, and the new residents will take shortcuts through our properties to more conveniently get to places such as Jerry’s Foods. 5. I am concerned about the increased noise having such a large number of residents very close by. 6. I am concerned about the safety in my neighborhood with the increased number of neighbors. 7. I am concerned about the increased amount of traffic along Hennepin Town road. 8. I am concerned that there is no berm planned to be put in for additional privacy, which has been done in other locations, like the one around Jerry’s Foods. 9. I am concerned that with this being a no-smoking building, the property will have a designated outdoor smoking area and that the smoke will drift into our properties. 10. I am concerned that a building like this will look out-of-place in a single-family neighborhood. 11. I am concerned with the number of trees that will need to be removed and the effect on the wildlife I see there frequently, such as deer.

Had there been a building like this back there originally, I would not have purchased my property. I am not saying that there can’t be additional dwellings on this property, but feel strongly that there are better-suited locations for higher density housing than this and ask that you work to protect my neighborhood and do what is in the best interest of its current residents.

Hello Beth,

I understand you’re part of the planning commission. I’m sending this e-mail to voice concerns about the possible rezoning of the property at 9360 Hennepin Town Road.

- Has a traffic study been done in the area? 169 (pre-Covid) is already over burdened during the core hours in the morning and evenings, and Hennepin Town Road gets heavily used for those looking for a little relief from the traffic. I can’t imagine adding another 50-100 cars is going to help the situation and would guess it’s going to make it worse.

- Has impact been understood on those people walking/biking/running in the area with another high traffic area similar to Jerry’s and what issues that could cause.

- Even though I don’t live directly next to this area, part of the reason for living in the vicinity is are the trees and natural area. It seems building that large of development in this small of a space, many of the trees would need to come down. Given the wetlands in the area, what issues are created with runoff from the parking lot that would be needed.

I’m not looking for a response, but hope these concerns are considered when looking at the rezoning application.

Thanks for listening.

Hello Beth, I live near the area of Hennepin town road that is proposed for rezoning. I am just voicing my concern about the traffic/congestion this will cause. I run and take my kids on bike rides in this area multiple times a week. I already feel there are certain times a day where the traffic is a concern. Putting a large apartment complex in this area will cause even more stress. Please consider this and the nature/trees you will be taking away from our neighborhood. Thank you!

Good morning Beth,

I am emailing to share my opposition to a proposed apartment complex being considered for 9360 Hennepin Town Road in Eden Prairie. We live just down the road from this location, and for several reasons, I do not feel this proposal should move forward.

First, the city guidance for this land is for medium density (i.e. Townhomes), whereas the developer wants to rezone it for medium-high density for a 52 unit apartment complex plus 54 surface parking stalls. We are opposed to the increased density on this land, as it does not follow Eden Prairie's long term guidance plan, requires many variances to fit the property into the area, has a parking lot that will abut the backyards of the adjacent homeowners, creates a large amount of hardscape on what is currently a wooded lot, and will remove numerous mature trees and disrupt the wildlife in this area.

Thank you for your consideration. -- Nik Sell, PT, DPT Doctor of Physical Therapy B.S. Kinesiology From: P. Sullivan To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: No to rezoning 9360 Hennepin Town Road. Date: Wednesday, June 3, 2020 6:41:34 PM

I am against rezoning 9360 Hennepin Town Road to Medium-High Density so developers can build a 52 apartment complex.

That will create more traffic in a neighborhood that houses an already well-trafficked grocery store.

It is close to a bike and walking path that many of us like to use. That neighborhood is a quiet residential one. Many of us bike to Jerry’s Foods and to Walgreen’s which is on the road next to this property.

As someone who managed a 24-unit apartment building years ago, I can tell you 52 units of people will make lots of noise and create lots of traffic.

It is NOT FAIR to bring down property values of residences nearby that are in a quiet neighborhood.

Thank-you.

Beth Novak-Krebs Senior Planner Eden Prairie Planning Commission

Hi Beth,

Thanks for serving the Eden Prairie community in such an umportant planning capacity.

I know there are many elements that go into creating and keeping a multi award winning city the apple of its residents' eyes. Performing this function certainly requires many wise decisions to be made and that you seek wise decisions in a context of "whole cloth".

I believe that deciding to turn 9360 Hennepin Town Road into a Medium-High Density area would not be one of those wise decisions in in fact would be pretty much the opposite.

I believe in commerce, I believe in community and I believe in neighborhood.

The beautiful balance of these elements is what is so often cited by award presenters in their commentary about our wonderful city. We are unique among thousands and thousand of cities across our great country in that we've found a way to strike such a beautiful balance.

Developer should be able to buy land. Developers should be able to build on the land that they buy. Citizens should want the opportunity to live in Eden Prairie, but the reasons they'd want to locate here should remain even as they inhabit their beautiful new surrounds.

If the medium density zoning was insufficient for the developers needs and if the purchase value of the land at medium density zoning was too rich for the developer's appraisal, the developer should have looked elsewhere for what the developer considered proper opportunity.

Let's not let an individual developer's desire to push the limits of maximizing a hoped for gain diminish all the rest of Eden Prairie's desire for balanced commerce, community and neighborhood.

Let's welcome a beautiful new development to our treasured town at a density that is wise "whole cloth".

Best to you.

Hi Beth,

Our names are Adrian and Robin Toy and we live on Clark Circle. We received a letter in the mail from MWF Properties concerning a multifamily housing project at 9360 Hennepin Town Road called "The Lofts at Anderson Reserve." We understand that you are the City Planner working with MWF Properties on this project, and we have a few concerns about this project.

We moved to our house on Clark Circle in Eden Prairie 37 years ago, and one of the things that attracted us to this area was the pleasant mix of open, outdoor spaces and quiet neighborhoods with single-family homes. It was an ideal place to raise our son. Six out of the eleven homes on Clark Circle still have children living at home, and these families like this neighborhood for the same reasons that we moved here.

Ideally, we'd like the property at 9360 Hennepin Town Road to remain residential, because that would preserve the same environment we've enjoyed on Clark Circle for all these years. We understand, however, that property development sometimes can't be avoided -- but we think an effort should be made to limit the impact this development has on the nearby neighborhood.

With this in mind, these are our concerns about MWF's proposal:

1) The parking lot is located on the north side of the building, closest to our homes on Clark Circle. This means that parking lot lights, car headlights, and traffic in and out of the property will be closest to our homes. Couldn't the plan be changed so that the parking lot is south of the building?

2) The proposed development does not provide for any kind of buffer between our homes and the development. The strip mall just to the north of Clark Circle has a berm and fence separating our homes from the strip mall. We'd like to see the same kind of separation between our homes and the development. The separation should extend across the entire property without any openings, to prevent foot traffic across our yards from the development to the strip mall.

3) The proposed development is for 52 dwellings, which exceeds what is the city's long term plan for this property. We think the character of the neighborhood would be preserved better with a lower density development, such as townhomes.

4) Rental properties tend to have a more transient resident population than properties with ownership. Couldn't the property be developed with townhomes or condominiums where the dwellings are owned, not rented? Ownership instead of rental would help preserve the character of the neighborhood.

We've included the email addresses of several concerned neighbors on this communication with you, so that they can see your reply. Thank you for considering our concerns.

Adrian and Robin Toy

Hi Beth,

I just wanted to write to voice my support for the project proposed for 9360 Hennepin Town Road. It looks like a good project to provide more affordable housing in the area. On Nextdoor and Facebook’s EP Bulletin Board there’s been a lot of discussion about not wanting low income housing (NIMBY) or increased traffic to the area due to the traffic jams that occur at Hennepin Town Road and Pioneer in the evening. However, I think our driver of traffic at that intersection is caused by the increased housing in Shakopee/Savage/PL and can’t imagine people living here trying to go south at 5:30pm very often.

On a side note, if there could be amber blinking left turns installed at Hennepin Town and Pioneer like the ones at Franlo and Pioneer, that’d help traffic in my opinion.

Please let me know if there’s anything additional needed from me. Thank you!

Greetings: I wanted to voice my support for maintaining the existing zoning restrictions for the subject property. Changing the zoning to allow 52 units on that lot would significantly impact the neighbors and surrounding area. I support a low-medium development and a proportionate amount of low income options for that site, but not increasing the zoning. This zoning change would in some respects represent a taking of the neighbor's property values.

I am not for a high density (3 story) building being built on stated property. The architectural footprint does not fit into existing single family residential area. Beside building size traffic on Hennepin Town Road would inevitably increase (turning on and off). I also took time to drive by 108 Place, 4050 W. 108th Street, Bloomington, Mn. I Would highly suggest you or staff do this! I was not impressed ( 108 Place - 41 unit, proposed 51-53 units). Do not believe this is a development the City of Eden Prairie would be proud of.

I am writing to let you know I oppose the change of 9360 Hennepin Town Road to medium-high density.

I am a homeowner in the Preserve, and the main feature of my home that led me to purchase my home specifically was the natural beauty of the area. I love how beautiful the neighborhood is. A change to medium high density zoning would detract from the area.

Any loss of preserved natural space takes away from the neighborhood’s beauty. Also, large parking lots contribute to light pollution.

Hello. I am a 7th grader in Eden Prairie. I heard a large piece of land was bought on Old Hennepin Town Road, and was going to be turned into a high-density apartment complex. Me, my family, and all of our neighbors are hating the idea. This will literally ruin the community. Traffic will be so bad, the places I like to visit and walk and ride my bike by, will be destroyed. We enjoy the way this community is, and building this will hurt everything we love and care about. I like living in a nice, quiet, perfect neighborhood, and that apartment will harm our relationship to it. Please, please try to do something about it.

Part of the reason we bought a house in this area are the great neighborhoods,and the great natural feel of the spaces in this area.

I would be very disappointed if this area is re zoned to allow for higher density housing, and it began to look and feel like the rest of the areas that we looked at before settling in this area.

I respectfully request that you do everything in your power to stop this re zoning.

Thank you

Zach From: Steph MacPhail To: Beth Novak-Krebs Subject: Regarding 9360 Hennepin Town Road Date: Thursday, July 9, 2020 8:50:56 AM

July 9, 2020

Dear Ms. Novak-Krebs,

I am writing in response to the proposed rezoning and development plans at 9360 Hennepin Town Road.

As residents for nearly 10 years, my family has greatly appreciated how this current space - as is - enhances our walks along Hennepin Town Road. Greenery, specifically mature trees, are beneficial to well-being. This is also a wetland area and we enjoy listening to the frogs and watching the birds flitter through the area. While not a large space, it is a welcomed spot, nestled between two shopping complexes and Highway 169.

According to Aspire Eden Prairie 2040, Chapter 8 (Parks & Open Space Planning), Goal 3 says the city desires to "Maintain a balance between the conservation and management of natural and cultural resources, and the need for residential, commercial, industrial and other urban uses." Under Goal 3's objectives, one is to "continue preserving watercourses and wetlands to protect sensitive ecosystems, maintain clean and healthy lakes, improve overall environmental quality, and beautify the community" (page 171). In the report, the need for green space/trees is addressed, considering that there are "increase[d] positive health impacts associated with increased tree canopy in developed areas, such as improved air quality" (page 170).

The proposed development is the exact opposite of Eden Prairie's Aspire 2040 goal in regards to the environment. The city would like to protect wetlands, and according to the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District High Risk Erosion Map (http://www.rpbcwd.org/application/files/8915/4049/5794/Fig_1_District_High- Risk_Erosion_Areas_Map.jpg), there is a wetland in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development. This brings concerns forth about run-off, pollution, and required mitigation. Additionally, the development would remove mature trees. Many of the current trees (Cottonwood, for example), are native, resilient, long-lived trees and vital for wildlife. Perhaps you recall the report released in 2019 stating that 3 billion birds have disappeared since 1970 (https://science.sciencemag.org/content/366/6461/120). Human-caused disturbances - pesticides, windows, climate change, but most importantly, habitat destruction - are to blame. Thinking that altering one small parcel of land can't cause that much of a problem makes us part of the problem. Furthermore, residents already have concerns over coyotes. The continued fracturing of habitat means residents will see more coyotes in their yards as they search for places to live and eat.

This space’s beauty is so appreciated that it should be left as is. Eden Prairie has done similar with the Richard T. Anderson Conservation area, which is a stunning and peaceful place to hike and relax. Minneapolis has the Roberts Bird Sanctuary. There is nothing fancy about it's design, infact, the fact that there is no design makes it appealing to people who are seeking respite from the bustling city. I venture here because of the peacefulness and the designated IBA (Important Bird Area) status. I wouldn't be surprised if others, after visiting, then go to local establishments and spend money on coffee, lunch, etc. It could be much the same here. This proposed development could be the next sacred spot for community members.

We do not need to bulldoze every space in this city just to line the pockets of greedy developers. When we purchased our home in 2011, we purchased it because of the mature trees in our vicinity and neighboring conservation area/wetland area. I did not move to this city to see every available green space destroyed and multilevel buildings erected. If I wanted that, I would have chosen somewhere else to live. There are other places in Eden Prairie where medium to high-density zoning already exists, so this developer should look elsewhere.

Listen to your own goals: Aspire Eden Prairie 2040, page 178: "The continued efforts to restore, enhance, and protect natural areas should remain a priority." I encourage the city to deny the proposed zoning, developer, and find a way to purchase the property to keep it as it is as much as possible. We have many parks in Eden Prairie that are just wide open, gutted spaces. This could be a wonderful example of land left just as it is. Please set the tone for future Eden Prairie this way.

Sincerely,

Stephanie MacPhail Eden Prairie
