ROLL CALL / CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER Mayor Tyra-Lukens called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM. All Council Members were present. II. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE III. COUNCIL FORUM INVITATION IV. PROCLAMATIONS / PRESENTATIONS A. RESOLUTION NO. 2014-24 SUPPORTING PARTICIPATION IN THE OPEN TO BUSINESS PROGRAM Getschow said Open to Business is a technical assistance program for small businesses provided through the Metropolitan Consortium of Community Developers (MCCD), a 45 member association committed to increasing opportunities for small business and entrepreneurs. Rob Smolund, representing MCCD, gave an overview of the program that provides technical assistance and financing programs for small businesses and entrepreneurs. He noted the program served a total of 14 entrepreneurs in Eden Prairie in 2013. Nelson said she has talked to some immigrants who were struggling to set up a small business and asked if the program is limited to financing. Mr. Smolund said they primarily provide technical assistance and help to open a business and to set up the business structure. Tyra-Lukens asked who can use the service and who is using it. Mr. Smolund said CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 18, 2014 Page 2 for Eden Prairie any resident of Eden Prairie or someone planning to open a business here can use it. He noted each city in the program has different demographics. Aho asked about the number of staff members. Mr. Smolund said they have four other business advisors; one for Dakota County, one for Scott County and two in Minneapolis. Aho asked if the divisions are geographic, not by specialties. Mr. Smolund replied the advisors work collaboratively as a team. Aho asked where the money for their direct loans comes from. Mr. Smolund said there are a variety of sources including funds from the Treasury Department and the State. They are always looking for new sources of capital as they expand. Butcher Wickstrom asked how a prospective client would find them. Mr. Smolund said they could call or email him. He holds office hours at Dunn Bros on the first Thursday of the month from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M. They have brochures available and have a number of marketing ideas for this coming year. They are open to any ideas to reach out to a group. Getschow said we do promote it quite a bit on our website, but we might want to establish contact with the Chamber of Commerce to see how they could help the program. Nelson suggested they have brochures available at PROP. MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Nelson, to adopt Resolution No. 2014-24 supporting the City’s participation in the Open to Business program and committing to funding one half of the cost or $5,000. Motion carried 5-0. V. APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND OTHER ITEMS OF BUSINESS Butcher Wickstrom added Item XIV.A.1. MOTION: Butcher Wickstrom moved, seconded by Case, to approve the agenda as amended.

Nelson asked what happens to the police canines when they are retired. Getschow said they place the dog in a good home, usually with their handler. IX. PUBLIC HEARINGS / MEETINGS Getschow said there are six public hearings scheduled tonight that relate to six different parcels of property owned by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC). He said this is part of a process that began in 2010 with a Memo of Understanding (MOU) with MAC. We are currently in the middle of that process. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 18, 2014 Page 4 Franzen said the process was begun to establish a mutually agreeable review process for the parcels and to develop regulations to guide development of the parcels. There were public hearings at the Planning Commission and the City Council in September of 2012 to approve the plan to designate Airport Commercial and Airport Office sites. Regulations creating the Airport Commercial and Airport Office sites were approved by the City Council in the first part of 2013. The second part of the process began when the Planning Commission recommended approval of all the proposed rezoning with some conditions at their January 24, 2014 meeting. The concept plans developed for the parcels will represent a couple of ways the parcels might be developed in the future. The third stage of the process will occur when a developer and the MAC work out an agreement for development and then come forward to the City with a development concept. The plan will be reviewed to the performance standards of development in Eden Prairie. Franzen said staff and the Planning Commission determined Parcels 2 and 6 are different from the other parcels. Parcel 2 is located on the west end of the runway, and staff recommended rezoning nine acres of the site, not 39 acres as requested by MAC in the application. Staff felt that size would be a better fit with the neighborhood and would allow more of the site to remain in a natural condition. He said Parcel 6 is on the east end of the runway, and staff recommended the development be concentrated on the upper part of the parcel.

  • Eden Prairie at a Glance
    INSIGHTS Eden Prairie, Minnesota Written by: Michael Stein and Pat Saari EDEN PRAIRIE AT A GLANCE Eden Prairie is an affluent, southwest metro suburb with direct access to I-494. The city is home to approximately 64,000 residents, the 6th largest population in Hennepin County. The Eden Prairie Center, a widely known shopping mall built in 1976, has approximately 120 shops, an 18-screen AMC Theatre, and will soon have Scheels sporting goods as a new anchor tenant. Scheels, a current tenant in the mall, is redeveloping most of the old Sears department store that closed in Summer 2016. Scheels is expected to spend $70 million on the project. The Flying Cloud Airport, one of the busiest reliever airports in Minnesota, is also in Eden Prairie. With population growth expected to outpace the entire seven-county region through 2040, development and activity in the city is getting a boost from the future Southwest Light Rail Transit line (SWLRT) project. Eden Prairie will channel and strategically direct the current and future growth through a comprehensive plan dubbed Aspire Eden Prairie 2040. The final City Council-approved plan will be submitted to the Metropolitan Council by the end of 2018. Development will continue to be concentrated in the northeast quadrant of Eden Prairie near the major highways and the Eden Prairie Center. Approximately 130,000 vehicles per day (VPD) pass by the eastern border of the city on I-494 and Hwy 169. Many of the largest employers in the city are situated along Hwy 5 (105,000 VPD) and near what is known as the Golden Triangle in northeast Eden Prairie.
