TH
LAKESIDE 8 ADDITION: REQUEST FOR SUBDIVISION OF .2338 ACRES (REPLAT OF
TH
LOTS 1-3, BLOCK 3, LAKESIDE 7 ADDITION) INTO TWO LOTS, AND A SITE PLAN
AMENDMENT TO CHANGE A THREE-UNIT TOWNHOUSE TO A TWINHOME ON
PROPERTY ZONED PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT-RESIDENTIAL, AND LOCATED AT
35, 45 AND 55 RILEY CURVE; APPLICANT: RON CLARK CONSTRUCTION, INC.
Kate Aanenson: Thank you Mayor, members of the City Council. As you indicated this item is for a
th
subdivision replat. This did appear before the Planning Commission at their February 18 meeting and
they did recommend approval of the changes. The property is located in the Lakeside Subdivision which
is on Lyman Boulevard bordering 212 and involves 3 lots. 35, 45, 55 on Riley Curve. So the subdivision
approval is to replat 3 lots into 2 lots and then a site plan review to amend the approved site plan change
to a 3 unit structure so because it’s a PUD we also look at on multi-family the architecture too. So this is
the 3 original lots. 1, 2, 3 and now you can see where the new split is coming into two. When this
originally came in they felt strongly about getting the 3 lots. It was, it fits on the site but I think looking
at it as their market, buyers looked at it that they felt that the two lots would be better served so this is
what the new subdivision or the new plat will look like. The two lots. Grading plan. All those are in, all
the requirements meet city ordinance. Building elevation. Again meets the overall design standards so
this is that overall area in the back side that Ron Clark is, as you know changes occurred. Originally this
2
City Council Summary – March 10, 2014
was a condominium in the back and then got replatted to the Ron Clark Townhomes. So with that we are
recommending approval, as did the Planning Commission and I’d be happy to answer any questions that
you may have.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any questions for staff?
Councilman Laufenburger: Just one Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Furlong: Mr. Laufenburger.
Councilman Laufenburger: Kate, could you go back one slide please? So the area we’re talking about is
the area right there?
Kate Aanenson: Yes, that’s correct.
Councilman Laufenburger: Okay. Perfect.
Mayor Furlong: And on that slide Ms. Aanenson, the parcel with the number 2 right behind it, that’s
remaining 3 at this point?
Kate Aanenson: Correct.
Mayor Furlong: At this time.
Kate Aanenson: Yes it is.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Kate Aanenson: I think these lots also had the views. If you go back, so this would be the view shed kind
of looking towards the lake side on that with the garage on the other so these have nice views on this side.
As opposed to the other one which doesn’t have the same view shed butting up against the 212 but still
very nice.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Any other questions? Is a representative from Ron Clark here? Good evening.
Thank you for coming. Is there anything you’d like to address the council on?
Ron Clark Construction Representative: No. Just thought I’d be present in case anybody has any
questions.
Mayor Furlong: I appreciate that very much. Any questions of the developer on this? Do you see other
types of changes like the parcel to the north coming through or do you see this as probably more isolated?
Ron Clark Construction Representative: No, the piece to the north.
Mayor Furlong: I’m sorry. If you could come up to the microphone and state your name and address for
the record please.
Ron Clark Construction Representative: Yeah, Ron Clark Construction Representative with Ron Clark
Construction.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you.

City Council Summary – March 10, 2014
Ron Clark Construction Representative: And so the question is the three to the north? Those are already
built.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Okay.
Ron Clark Construction Representative: The only vacant lots are the south that we’re replatting from 3
lots to 2.
Mayor Furlong: Great. Okay. Thank you. Any other questions? Very good, thank you.
Ron Clark Construction Representative: Yeah, thanks.
Mayor Furlong: Bring it to council for discussion. Any thoughts or comments? No? Seems very
reasonable. Okay. Would somebody like to make a motion?
Councilman Laufenburger: Does this need a public hearing?
Mayor Furlong: This does not require a public hearing. I think the public hearing happened at the
Planning Commission, didn’t it Kate? So, okay. Thank you though. Councilwoman Ernst, recognized
for a motion.
Councilwoman Ernst: I’ll make a motion that City Council approves the subdivision creating two lots out
of three lots and the amendment to the site plan to permit the two unit structure in place of the three unit

MUNICIPAL CONSENT AND ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING LAYOUT NO. 4 AND
IMPOSING A NO PARKING ZONE: HENNEPIN COUNTY HIGHWAY 61 (FLYING CLOUD
DRIVE) PROJECT BETWEEN TH 101 AND CHARLSON ROAD IN EDEN PRAIRIE.
Paul Oehme: Thank you Mayor, City Council members. Good evening. Tonight I’d just like to briefly
give the council some background on the project and go over the proposed improvements. Again the,
look at the existing conditions. The project goals and proposed improvements and also review the
schedule. Tonight for this item, oh yeah I do have Jason Staebell with Hennepin County. He’s the
project engineer with us tonight and then Darren Mielke. He’s the Assistant County Engineer for Carver
County so if there’s any questions that come up, they can also assist in answering them as well so.
Moving on, the project is the reconstruction of County Road 61. It’s basically from Highway 101 over to
Charlson Road in Eden Prairie, which is about 3.7 miles long. The section in Carver County is shown
here in white. It’s about .8 miles so I’ll focus in on that section of roadway here tonight. The project
organization, there’s lots of agencies that are currently involved in the project. Hennepin County
obviously is the lead agency. They’re putting together the plans and specs. Carver County is also
assisting in right-of-way acquisition and design assistance as well. Both the City of Eden Prairie and
Chanhassen obviously are involved in the design as well and actively participating in the project
management meetings that go on monthly. MnDOT is the lead agency in terms of funding the project.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, they have property adjacent to this corridor so we have to work with them
on right-of-way acquisitions and other amenities that they’re going to be requiring us to look at. U.S.
Corps of Engineers is also involved. The DNR and BWSR for the wetlands. Recent corridor history.
Currently it’s owned and operated by Hennepin County but prior to 2009 it was the jurisdiction of
MnDOT and that was before. Currently it was, before it was called County Road 61 it was Trunk
Highway 212 before the new 212 had opened up. Again Hennepin County currently owns, maintains the
th
corridor since basically September 10 of 2010 which involved a turnback from MnDOT in the
jurisdictional transfer from MnDOT to Hennepin County. Existing roadway is part of the turnback.
MnDOT provides funding again for the County to reconstruct the road to fix deficiencies and there are a
lot of deficiencies on the corridor that I’ll go through. Turnback funding is however limited so
reconstruction of the project usually takes place several years after the transfer has taken place to the new
agency so in this case again it was 2010 when the actual transfer took place to Hennepin County.
Existing road is right now it’s two lane typically, undivided rural section. There’s a few left turn lanes
out there, especially in Eden Prairie. The road condition is poor and it does need a lot of work here in the
near future if it would not be improved at this time. Traffic is interesting on this corridor. Back in 2000,
or 1996 before 212 and 169 was opened, the average daily traffic on this corridor was in excess of 25,000
trips per day. Now it’s down to 9,000 or 9,100 and the last count was back in 2010. That can be
attributed obviously to the new 212 being opened and 169 taking that traffic off this corridor. Carver
County does estimate that the traffic growth in this corridor however will increase about 2% annually so
