June 8, 2018 Friday Report

Post Date:06/08/2018

Planning Commission
At the June 11 Planning Commission meeting, an application for the construction of a new Culver’s restaurant on the south side of the parking lot in front of Lunds & Byerlys will be considered. The property is located at the corner of Plaza Drive and Prairie Center Drive. Culver’s is relocating from the Technology Drive location.

On the proposed plan, Culver’s will face Lunds & Byerlys and a drive thru will wrap around the west and south sides of the building.  The applicant is proposing to create a separate lot for Culver’s, and the applicant is requesting waivers related to parking stalls and parking setbacks. The architectural details on the building, outdoor seating area, connecting the site to the nearby pedestrian system and improving the existing parking lot islands to conform to City ordinance are all features that positively offset the requested waivers. The waivers are consistent with integrating a new use into an existing parking lot and are reflective of existing conditions.

Searching for something unique for that special graduate? Looking for the best Father’s Day present ever? The Heritage Preservation Commission and Public Works Department are collaborating to provide an opportunity for the retired street signs to be purchased as a nostalgic memento of Eden Prairie. Each sign is $30 and the proceeds are being used for Eden Prairie's historical education and preservation efforts.
