Introduction to the Resident’s Guide W elcome to the 2011-2012 Eden Prairie Resident’s Guide. This year marks the 20th anniversary of publishing these guides for the communities served by Southwest Newspapers.

City Ordinances* * Detailed information about City of Eden Prairie ordinances is available by visiting edenprairie.org. Building Permits Inspections Dept......................................952-949-8342 A city building permit is required when planning any new construction or alterations to a single-family residence. Permits are required for any alterations, additions and remodeling including: basement finishes, porches,

decks attached to the house or decks greater than 30 inches above the ground, pools, retaining walls greater than 4-feet high, fences over 6-feet high, and sheds larger than 120 square feet. The city of Eden Prairie has a permit process in which all plan reviews and permits–except those required for a new single-family residence and commercial work–can be issued on a one-stop basis.

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.

Landscaping

All residential structures and accessory structures, which include sheds, outbuildings, play structures and gazebos, are subject to specific setbacks from a lot line based on the zoning district. All structure setbacks are taken from the property line. The setback from a front, rear or side yard may vary based on the zoning district. To find out what a property is zoned for and what the required setbacks are, call the Community Development office.

Plant material may be located on your lot, including in drainage and utility easements, as plant material is not considered a permanent structure. Should the city or other public utility need to access any drainage or utility easement, however, removal or trimming of plant material may be necessary. Certain lots in Eden Prairie may be subject to a conservation easement. As a property owner you should be aware if your property 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 right-of-way. This is usually 10 feet to 12 feet from the back of the curb. Plant material may not interfere with vision of traffic.

Driveway Information

Fences

In the residential R1 zoning districts, all driveways shall be surfaced 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 infiltrate 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 traditionally 10 to 12 feet from the back of the curb to your lot line. The city suggests a driveway not be

Permits are not required for construction 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 sufficient 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

Ordinance Administration Community Development .......................952-949-8529 The City Division of Community Development at the Eden Prairie City Center administers city zoning ordinances and codes. Offices are open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday, to answer questions related to your property or surrounding property.

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 Pools All in-ground swimming pools located outside are required to have a fence at least 4 feet in height and a maximum height of 6 feet surrounding 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 surface 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 Maintenance All 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 cutting. 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 Parking Parking or storing a recreational vehicle (RV) is allowed in a residential zoning district provided certain 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 setback, storage surface, time of storage and other factors. RVs may not be used for living quarters or connected 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 private covenants or agreements that prohibit or limit the parking of RVs. This covenant or agreement would supersede the city regulations.

Home Occupation A home occupation may occur in the Rural, Single-Family or Multiple zoning districts provided code regulations are maintained. A home occupation shall be conducted 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 accessory structure or outbuilding. No equipment or supplies associated with a home occupation shall be stored outside. One sign of not more than 1 square foot is allowed and must be 10 feet from the property line. The home occupation shall be carried on only by members of a family residing in the dwelling and not more than one non-resident of the dwelling. Not more than one truck greater than three-fourthston capacity associated with a home occupation and no semi-trailers may be stored on site.

Snow Removal There 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 public 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 sidewalk or trail are responsible for removing the snow and ice. This removal must be accomplished within the first 24 hours after the cessation of the precipitation. For more information, call 952-949-8300.

Storage Containers: Solid Waste and Recycling

Eden Prairie residents heard from Chamber of Commerce President Pat MulQueeny (pictured) and other city and school officials during the chamber’s State of the City Luncheon held last winter at City Center.

Storage containers for Single Family Dwellings, Multiple Family Dwellings or Commercial Establishments 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. Storage containers for Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials or Yard Waste may be set curbside 24 hours prior to the scheduled pickup. The storage containers must be removed from curbside within 24 hours after the scheduled pickup.

Junk Cars, Furniture, Household Furnishings & Appliances It is unlawful to park or store any unlicensed, unregistered or inoperable motor vehicle, furniture, household furnishings or appliances, or parts or components thereof on any property, public or private, unless housed within a building.

City Center Meeting Rooms For reservation information .....................952-949-8432 The Eden Prairie City Center has rental facilities available for all occasions, including meetings, receptions, banquets, workshops, celebrations and special events. Visit edenprairie.org for more information.

Police TIPS Line

City 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 notified by the city.

24-Hour TIPS Line ............................... 952-949-TIPS The Eden Prairie Police Department has a TIPS line for anonymous, confidential information. If you have information about a crime and you want to remain anonymous, phone the TIPS line. The TIPS line is a voice mail message center where you can leave information about a crime 24 hours a day, seven days a week. TIPS messages are reviewed daily by a police investigator. However, police stress that it’s important to dial 911 if you require police, fire or medical response; the TIPS line will not alert authorities for an emergency response. Police urge people using the TIPS line to give as much information as possible, including car license numbers, names, physical descriptions and anything else that would help police investigate a crime. Rewards may be given for solved crimes when using a confidential code available only through the TIPS line. The TIPS line is sponsored by the Eden Prairie Crime Prevention Fund.

Yard Waste

Municipal Liquor Stores

Lawn Watering

All 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, trimming, gardening or raking.

Art Center Eden Prairie Art Center 7650 Equitable Drive. ............................952-949-8304 The Eden Prairie Art Center, located at 7650 Equitable Drive, officially opened its doors in May 2009. What began with the gift of a 5,400-square-foot building from the family of Roger Sampson, a former Eden Prairie resident who built the building in 1995 as a place to create art, has now become a place where community members of all ages can explore new and exciting art forms, learn a new talent, develop an existing gift and appreciate all that the world of art has to offer. Classes and workshops are now open for registration! For more information, contact Lindsey Danhauser, Art Center Coordinator, at 952-949-8304 or ldanhauser@ edenprairie.org

Eden Lake Elementary students participated in an all-day food packing event last March to send meals to hungry children in Haiti. Leading up to the event, students raised more than $8,200 through fundraisers and their own donations. Students made and packed 55,890 meals to send to children in Haiti. In this picture, students raised their hands so they could sample the meals they were sending to Haiti.
