BY KATHIE CASE

Rudyard Kipling once said that if history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgot-ten! Eden Prairie’s people-popu-lated past is chock full of storied intrigue and mystery. From the vast evidence of Native American habitation spread among our sub-urban landscapes in the form of campsites and burial mounds to the settler experiences documented in our historic structures and ar-tifacts, Eden Prairie is a veritable museum of historical knowledge.

The Eden Prairie Historical Society is the offi cial sanctioned body solely responsible for gather-ing, protecting and celebrating our historic past through its physical records and artifacts. Far from being a gathering of nearly archival specimens themselves, the society attracts a robust and energetic group of people who have a passion for history, a love of Eden Prairie,

and a desire to help preserve our past for future generations to ex-

perience the same joy we get from connecting with our roots.

Annual membership of $20 gives members a chance to inter-act with others who share their passion, access to our historical resources, quarterly newsletters and special invitations to events such as the “Calico Ball.” For more information, contact the Eden Prairie Historical Society at www.edenprairiehistory.com or leave a message at 952-949-8580.

We invite you to join us for our upcoming 2016 events when we will highlight the book “One Stayed at Welcome” written by Maud Hart Lovelace in 1934. This historical fi ction is the story of two young men pre-empting land in Eden Prairie with many of the book’s characters based on the lives of actual settlers. The Historical So-ciety, in conjunction with the Maud Hart Lovelace Society, is planning a full year of special events related to the book.Kathie Case is president of the Eden Prairie Historical Society.

Eden Prairie residents give a variety of answers when asked for their favor-ite community attraction. Events that draw a crowd include the Fourth

of July Hometown Celebration, which also includes activities on July 3, the Lions Club’s Schooner Days the fi rst weekend in June, Wings of the North’s AirExpo and more.

Ice Castles Eden Prairie brought thousands of visitors to Miller Park in the winter, and a return is planned in 2015-2016. A variety of activities are always being offered at the Eden Prairie Art Center, Community Center, Veterans Memorial, Staring Lake Outdoor Center and Observatory as well as performances at the Staring Lake Amphitheatre.

Eden Prairie A.M. Rotary Club President Jan Eian said her favorite is the recently completed trail around Rice Marsh Lake connecting to Chanhassen. “We waited for years hoping that this would get done and it is really, really nice,” she said.

City Council Member Sherry Butcher Wickstrom said that in addition to the community’s natural beauty, there are attractions for all ages. For children, she cites the Round Lake Splash Pad and the EP Players children’s theater production. For teens, there’s the skate plaza at Round Lake Park and disk golf courses. And for active adults there’s the new pickleball courts at Franlo Park.

“New residents and current residents are on this journey of discovery of all we offer, both natural and historic,” Butcher Wickstrom said. “And we always add new cutting-edge recreation options.”

“They have everything, from fast food to gourmet and everything in between.”

— Jan Eian

Eden Prairie A.M. Rotary Club President

City Council Member Sherry Butcher Wickstrom said that the restaurants and grocery options available are a refl ection of Eden

Prairie. “I think the shops and the restaurants, the places to purchase food and unique items that are popping up in Eden Prairie refl ect this wonderful diversity that we have,” she said.

From restaurants with longtime local ties to new franchises and upscale offerings, in Eden Prairie, you’ll fi nd the best all-American fare around as well as Chinese, Indian, Italian, Thai, Vietnamese and more.

Eden Prairie A.M. Rotary Club President Jan Eian said there are a variety of grocery stores, and she’s excited to see what Aldi brings to the community when they open in the fall. She said that the number of restaurants is incredible. “They have everything,” she said, “from fast food to gourmet and everything in between.”

Eden Prairie’s farm history continues with farm markets dotting the community, Picha Heritage Farms offering fresh raspberries and more and Marshall’s Farm Market’s offerings, mainly during the summer months. The Foundation for Eden Prairie Schools’ Taste of Eden Prairie, Eden Prairie Lions Club Corn Feed, Noon Rotary Club Rib Fest, Eden Prairie Community Foundation Brewfest and A.M. Rotary Club Vino Classico (beer and wine tastings) are community favorites focused on food.

Eden Prairie is home to two natural springs where you’ll fi nd visi-tors lining up to fi ll their water bottles and gallon jugs. Fredrick-Miller Spring is at 9995 Spring Road and the Richard T. Anderson Conserva-tion Area Spring is at 18700 Flying Cloud Drive.

ORDINANCE ADMINISTRATION

CommunityDevelopment Department952-949-8529The Community Development Department at the Eden Prairie City Center administers city zon-ing ordinances and codes. Offi ces are open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday, to answer ques-tions related to your property or surrounding property.General Residential SetbacksAll residential structures and ac-cessory structures, which include sheds, outbuildings, play structures and gazebos, are subject to specifi c setbacks from a lot line based on the zoning district. All structure set-backs are taken from the property line. The setback from a front, rear or side yard may vary based on the zoning district. To fi nd out what a property is zoned for and what the required setbacks are, call the Com-munity Development Department.

Driveway InformationIn the residential R1 zoning dis-tricts, all driveways shall be sur-faced with bituminous, concrete, pavers of brick, natural stone, or concrete placed with gaps not exceeding 1/4 inch, turf block, or grasscrete, and graded to dispose of or infi ltrate all area surface water without damage to private or public properties, streets, or alleys. The use of gravel, crushed rock, sand, or dirt is prohibited except when used as gap material with pavers. The driveway must be at least 3 feet from a side lot line and shall not cross the extension of a property line to the curb line. There are tradi-tionally 10 to 12 feet from the back of the curb to your lot line. The city suggests a driveway not be placed in the drainage and utility easement of a property, as utility lines including cable TV, electric, sewer, water and gas may be in the easement area. Permits are not required to install or replace a driveway unless a new curb cut is being created.

LandscapingPlant material may be located on your lot, including in drainage and utility easements, as plant mate-rial is not considered a permanent structure. Should the city or other

public utility need to access any drainage or utility easement, how-ever, removal or trimming of plant material may be necessary.Certain lots in Eden Prairie may be subject to a conservation ease-ment. As a property owner you should be aware if your prop-erty is subject to a conservation easement. No plant material may be placed in or removed from a conservation easement area until approved by the city.When installing plant material, keep in mind that once the shrub, tree or bush reaches maturity, any maintenance of the plant material should occur from the lot on which it is located. Therefore, any plant material should grow within the lot it is planted on. No plant material may be placed in street rights-of-way. This is usually 10 feet to 12 feet from the back of the curb. Plant material may not interfere with traffi c site lines.

FencesPermits are not required for con-struction of fences. Maximum height for a fence is 6 feet. Fences may be located next to a property line. However, if the fence is placed next to the lot line, you may need to go on your neighbor’s property for repairs or maintenance. If a fence is placed on the corner of a lot by the street, you should allow suf-fi cient setback of the fence so it will not block views of vehicles at the intersection. The city suggests you have a copy of the property survey before you install your fence to show location of lot lines. The curb line is not the property line. The city has no architecture control standards for fences. Private covenants and restrictions through a homeowner’s association may prohibit fences or suggest some architectural controls. Contact Gopher State One Call at 651-454-0002 before digging fence postholes, as required by law.

Fences Around PoolsAll in-ground swimming pools lo-cated outside are required to have a fence at least 4 feet in height and a maximum height of 6 feet sur-rounding the pool. The fence must be at least 4 feet from the pool’s edge. The bottom of the fence or wall around the pool shall be no higher than 4 inches above the sur-face of the ground. Fence openings or points of entry to the pool area shall be equipped with self-closing and self-latching lockable gates.

Lawn MaintenanceAll grounds in a residential zoning district not covered by a building, patio or driveway must be covered in grass or ornamental landscaping, including rock material. Ground cover may grow to a height of 10 inches. Once the growth exceeds 10 inches, city code requires cut-ting. Should you identify a property in which grass is over 10 inches in height, call the Parks and Recreation Department at 952-949-8442.

Recreational Vehicle ParkingParking or storing a recreational vehicle (RV) is allowed in a residen-tial zoning district provided cer-tain requirements are met. These include having not more than two RVs stored outside and that they are not more than 12 feet in height.Requirements also deal with set-back, storage surface, time of stor-age and other factors. RVs may not be used for living quarters or con-nected to water/sanitary sewer.The city suggests talking with neighbors prior to placement of an RV on your lot. In addition, your neighborhood or lot may have pri-vate covenants or agreements that prohibit or limit the parking of RVs. This covenant or agreement would supersede the city regulations.

Home OccupationA home occupation may occur in the Rural, Single-Family or Mul-tiple zoning districts provided code regulations are maintained. A home occupation shall be con-ducted in a dwelling and clearly be incidental or secondary to the use of the structure as a dwelling.It shall not be conducted in an ac-cessory structure or outbuilding. No equipment or supplies associ-

BY MAYOR NANCY TYRA-LUKENS

Am o n g the many

a n d di ve r s e a t t r i b u t e s t h a t m a k e Eden Prairie a great place to live, work a n d d r e a m , the variety of opportunities for enjoying an active lifestyle always rise to the top for me.

I know I’m not the only one who feels this way – everywhere I go, I see members of our com-munity taking advantage of the multitude of recreational ame-nities and more than 125 miles of trails available to them year-round. There really is something for everyone.

During the summer our beach-es and splash pads are bustling with kids and adults of all ages, and you don’t have to go far to

fi nd a ballgame or soccer match. Eden Prairie has all the outdoor amenities you’d expect from a city of its size, but it also has unique offerings that encourage physical activity, such as dog parks, an archery range, a disc golf course and a skate plaza.

When winter comes, the out-door activity doesn’t stop. The city works hard to clear snow from trails so runners and bikers can

continue to use them. There are also several outdoor ice rinks main-tained throughout the season, as well as a groomed cross-country ski trail and giant sledding hill at Staring Lake Park.

The Eden Prairie Community Center is an action-packed gath-ering place featuring three ice arenas, a gymnasium and state-of-the-art fi tness center, and the newly expanded aquatics center.

Opportunities for physical activ-ity abound with the generous offering of group fi tness classes and youth programs, and with the addition of a climbing wall and water slide, aquatics at the Com-munity Center has been elevated to a new level.

Personally, I love that I can get on my bike and ride the miles of trails for exercise or just to meet friends for coffee at the Dunn Bros located in one of the City’s historic properties, the Smith-Douglas-More House. I also enjoy scenic strolls around Staring Lake, which frequently lead me to an evening of music at the outdoor amphitheater or an astronomy event at the Star-ing Lake Observatory.

The possibilities for living an active lifestyle are truly endless in Eden Prairie, which for me, makes life great in this outstanding com-munity I’m proud to call home.

Lawn WateringCity code limits lawn watering to an odd/even schedule. That means if your house address ends in an odd number, you may water your lawn on odd-numbered days only. If your house address ends in an even number, water only on even-numbered days. A watering ban is in effect in the city of Eden Prairie

from noon to 5 p.m. each day of the year, unless otherwise notifi ed by the city.

Yard WasteAll yard waste must be disposed of within one week unless it is being composted in an approved composting area/container. Yard waste is solid waste generated from landscaping and lawn care activities, such as mowing, trim-ming, gardening or raking. Yard waste materials consist of grass clippings, twigs, tree and brush clippings, straw, pine needles, tree branches, soft vegetative garden waste and leaves.

Snow RemovalThere are no hourly restrictions on the operation of snow removal equipment. Property owners are required to keep all snow and ice on their own property. city code

prohibits placing snow or ice in any right-of-way, roadway, street, sidewalk, walkway, bike or trail way, easement, park or other pub-lic property. Although the city of Eden Prairie is responsible for the removal of snow and/or ice from sidewalks or trails abutting several streets, the majority of owners or occupants of one- or- two family dwellings that are abutting a side-walk or trail are responsible for removing the snow and ice. This removal must be accomplished within the fi rst 24 hours after the cessation of the precipitation. For more information, call 952-949-8300.

Storage Containers:Solid Waste and RecyclingStorage containers for Single Fam-ily Dwellings, Multiple Family Dwellings or Commercial Estab-lishments must be stored at least

20 feet from the property line. Storage containers stored within a front yard must be screened from the public street with an opaque fence or coniferous landscape material.

“I’ve never seen so many 5K’s in my life”

— Ruth Holewinski

Eden Prairie resident

COMMITTEDTO HEALTHAND WELLNESSMore residents are pursuing an active lifestyle in Eden Prairie

and the city is offering more options for them.The community offers healthy activities from fi tness and volun-

teering to enjoying nature and gardening. Local athletic associations are among the largest in the state. It has been called one of the healthiest places to retire.

“I’ve never seen so many 5K’s in my life,” said new resident Ruth Holewinski, who moved here from California.

New this year, the city offered “Fitness in the Park,” including free yoga, zumba and basketball in parks.

The free classes are an introduction to what is offered at the Eden Prairie Community Center, where a recent renovation has added two eight-lane competition pools with a zero-depth pool, hot tub and slide set to open later this year.

A city food truck is also in the works, to offer healthy options at community events.

Holewinski said that Minnesota has incredible health care and Eden Prairie is no exception.

The community is served by area hospitals, clinics and urgent care facilities, home health care and hospice services. A number of dental, optometry and chiropractic providers can be found and health-related businesses have facilities.

“We are fortunate to have wonderful health care,” said Eden Prairie A.M. Rotary President Jan Eian.

Eden Prairie is committed to health and wellness, and it shows. The commitment started decades ago with the plan for every resident to have a recreation option within a half mile of their home. With development of a new park planned next year, the city will be close to achieving that goal.

“This is going to be the gateway to the whole baseball fi elds.”

— John McCarthy

Miracle League committee

LEISURE ACTIVITIES ABOUND IN GREAT OUTDOORS

By the numbers, Eden Prairie has more than 4,500 acres of open-space wetlands, more than 1,000 acres of active-use parkland,

nearly 200 miles of sidewalks and trails, more than 100 ponds and 17 lakes.

There are conservation areas, historic farmsteads, ball fi elds, playgrounds, an archery range, public beaches, fi shing piers, skating rinks, community gardens, tennis courts, pickleball courts and more.

New this year are expanded offerings at Franlo Park and the fi rst phase of the Eden Prairie Aquatics Center at the Eden Prairie Com-munity Center. Two eight-lane competition pools, expanded fi tness center space, new locker rooms and a climbing wall are open. Phase two is underway, with a zero-depth pool, hot tub and water slide planned.

The new Miracle League fi eld at Flying Cloud Fields along Pioneer Trail is expected to open this year, giving children with disabilities a chance to participate on a baseball team.

“This is going to be the gateway to the whole baseball fi elds,” Miracle League committee member John McCarthy said in a recent interview. “It’s the fi rst one everyone sees coming in. It’s going to paint the picture of Eden Prairie baseball. Something we can all be proud of.”

Residents enjoy hiking, pickleball, biking, paddleboarding, fi shing, boating, swimming, geocaching, snowshoeing and more and visit the Eden Prairie Senior Center, Staring Lake Outdoor Center, Eden Prairie Library, Eden Prairie Art Center, Cummins-Phipps-Grill and Riley-Jacques homesteads and Smith-Douglas-More Dunn Bros.

“There’s so much good that’s going on. People’s hearts are really in the right place.”

— Ruth Holewinski

Eden Prairie Women of Today

EDEN PRAIRIE IS FREQUENTLY ON ‘BEST OF’ LISTSMore than 99 percent of Eden Prairie residents surveyed rate

its quality of life as above average. And outside groups that compile rankings seem to feel that way too. Eden Prairie appears on a number of “best of” lists each year. Recently, Movoto named the community the No. 1 overall Minneapolis suburb and also the No. 5 Minneapolis suburb for young couples.It’s been rated one of the Best Places to Live in the country by Money Magazine several times since 2006, reaching No. 1 in 2010 and No. 3 in 2012.“It’s a no-brainer,” said Vijay Dixit, chair of the Shreya Dixit Foundation, when asked about living in Eden Prairie. “Best place? Any day.”Eden Prairie is known for its quality of life, low crime rate and quality schools. The city was even recently honored for being innovative in its snow re-moval.Residents talk about Eden Prairie’s small-town feel and sense of community.“Everyone is so incredibly gracious,” said new resident Ruth Holewinski. “They look you in the eye and say, ‘Hi.’”

In addition, residents spend a lot of their leisure time volunteer-ing with groups like the Eden Prairie Rotary clubs, Lions and Lion-ess clubs, Optimist Club, Women of Today, and supporting local nonprofi ts.

Eden Prairie Lions Club Member Gregg Fletcher said groups like the Lions are front and center in the community sponsoring events. The city partners with city organizations during its events, like the Fourth of July Hometown Celebration.

Projects like the Eden Prairie Veterans Memorial at Purgatory Creek Park were created due to the work of volunteers.

“There’s so much good that’s going on,” said Eden Prairie Women of Today member Ruth Holewinski. “People’s hearts are really in the right place.”

“It seems to be a great place for businesses to do business.”

— Jan EianEden Prairie

EDEN PRAIRIE COMMERCE IS BUSTLING

“When we fi rst moved here, the Eden Prairie mall was like a

ghost town,” said 20-year Eden Prairie resident Jan Eian. “Now it’s an incred-ibly bustling, busy place. I think we’re fortunate we have as many businesses located in Eden Prairie as we do. It seems to be a great place for businesses to do business.”

Today, visitors to Eden Prairie Center mall are estimated at a million a month.

Eden Prairie’s economy is diverse, with almost 3,000 businesses, from home-based entrepreneurs, independent retailers and familiar chains to Fortune 500 companies C.H. Robinson and Supervalu. It is home to the Winter Park headquarters of the Minnesota Vikings.

The city was recently named one of the best places for millennial job seekers and one of the best places in the state to start a small business by NerdWallet.

The Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce has more than 500 members with more than 6,000 attendees at its events throughout the year. In Eden Prairie, the city, schools and businesses work together on multiple projects.

Offi ces, industrial areas, restaurants, stores and hotels are located throughout the community. Transportation is convenient with the prox-imity to major highways, SouthWest Transit bus service and Flying Cloud Airport. Redevelopment is underway for businesses along the path of the upcoming Southwest Light Rail Transit line.

“It is not very far from the city; it is not very far from the highway and at the same time it does not feel like an urban area,” resident Vijay Dixit says of Eden Prairie. “That is a blend I fi nd very diffi cult to fi nd.”

ANIMAL LOVERS WELCOME INEDEN PRAIRIE

”Eden Prairie is the dog capital of the world.”

— Sherry Butcher Wickstrom

City Council member

“As a fi ve-term elected offi cial, I have knocked on thousands of doors in Eden Prairie,” said City Council Member Sherry

Butcher Wickstrom, “and Eden Prairie is the dog capital of the world.”Dogs aren’t the only pets that thrive in Eden Prairie. But especially

for the dogs, there are six off-leash exercise areas plus Bryant Lake Regional Park’s off-leash dog area and two miles of dog trails. The dog exercise areas include a brand new small dog area in Staring Lake Park.

Eden Prairie Girl Scout Troop 12838 helped to improve the dog parks at Flying Cloud Dog Park and Staring Lake Dog Park. Lauren Malmgren, Jessica Larson, Haley Lundeen and Siena Miller of Girl Scout Troop 12838 worked with the city to help update agility equip-ment, trail markers and storage areas. During a grand opening event last fall, Siena Miller said she hopes more people will visit the dog parks because of the changes.

There are frequent pet adoption days at local pet stores. Eden Prairie is served by the Carver-Scott Humane Society, which is celebrating 25 years this year; Southwest Metro Animal Rescue and Adoption Society and Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota. Eden Prairie is home to a variety of veterinary clinics, pet stores and other busi-nesses catering to pets.

The city offers animal related classes and events, including the popular Animal Open House, plus monthly open houses, at Staring Lake Outdoor Center. The refurbished cabin at 13765 Staring Lake Parkway is home to several animals that kids can interact with. The center offers classes, workshops, trips and activities, including activi-ties for scouting groups.

Eden Prairie Girl Scout Troop 12838 hosted an event last year at the Flying Cloud Dog Park to celebrate the improvements made to the Staring Lake and Flying Cloud dog parks. (Photos by Patty Dexter)

HUMANE SOCIETYCARVER-SCOTT HUMANE SOCIETY

The Carver-Scott Humane Society serves Carver and Scott counties as well as a portion of Hennepin County. The organization is currently without a permanent building; all abandoned pets are housed in foster care until permanent adoption. The humane society frequently hosts pet adoption days at area locations.To help an animal by fostering or donating litter or unopened pet food, call (952) 368-3553, line 4, or visit www.carverscotths.org.

Dogs can get their exercise in Eden Prairie at the Staring Lake and Flying Cloud dog parks.
