PLANNING REPORT
DATE: January 19, 1977
TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager
FROM: Bruce Pankonin, City Planner
SUBJ: Subdivision of Land on Lyman Blvd.
APPLICANT: Ed Dunn
PLANNING CASE: P-295
REF: City Ordinance 33 and City Ordinance 45, Section 2.01.
Petition
As shown in Exhibit 1, sketch plan, the applicant proposes to subdivide
approximately 40 acres into 10 residential building sites and one
outlot.
Background
1. Community Location: As shown in Exhibit 2, the subject property
is located z mile west of State Trunk Highway 101 on the north side
of Lyman Blvd.
2. Existing Zoning: As shown in Exhibit 2, the subject property
is zoned R-lA, Residential -Agricultural.
3. Municipal sanitary sewer and water service isi.1.not available
to the subject property. Trunk sanitary sewer service will be
extended to the area sometime in the future after construction of
the Lake Ann Interceptor Phase II. The timing, staging, cost and
location of this trunk sewer service in unknown at this time, however,
it is safe to say, trunk sewer service will not be available until
after 1980.
A , %,
,Mr. Don Ashworth -2- January 19, 1977
4. City Plan Proposal:
a. Land Use: Upon construction of trunk sewer service to the
subject property, the land in question and adjacent parcels is
proposed to assume a low density residential identity.
b. Transportation: Carver County proposes to realign County
Road 17 in 1979. This roadway will be adjacent to the subject
property's eastern border. Lyman Blvd., which forms the subject
property's southern border, will be upgraded to County standards
in 1981.
5. Physiography of the Subject Property: As shown in Exhibit 1,
the subject property contains deep slopes, scattered trees and low
land areas.' The subject property drains east and the water is
picked by an existing ditch which terminates in Lake Susan.
Planner's Comments
City Ordinance 45, Section 2.01 (Exhibit 3) prohibits the platting
and subdivision of land within the City not served by sanitary
water and sewer. Because of ordinance restrictions, the Dunn
proposal cannot proceed any further unless the City repealed
Ordinance 45 and creates more liberal land use restrictions for
unsewered land. At this time, neither the Planning Commission nor
the City Council have established standards to review development
plans in a rural area for which public services are not immediately
available or emminent. Instead, the Council has adopted a sound
planning philosophy of not allowing development to occur in areas
where public services are not present, i.e. "The Council of the City
of Chanhassen determines that in areas of the City not served by
public sewer there are serious problems of water pollution and
disposal of sewage which cannot effectively or economically dealt
with in the development of small tracts or plots of land; that
private individual sewage disposal systems have proven unsafe and
unreliable in many instances with the consequences that there has
been contamination of under ground water supplies, pollution of
lakes and streams and the surfacing of sewage effluent to the
serious detriment of the public health, welfare and safety."
This policy of prohibiting the subdivision of land in the unsewered
area will also assure that orderly growth will occur within the
community and that the City will not be faced with issues of rural
versus urban conflicts. The rural setting is often desired for
residential purposes, but such inevitably leads to conflicts between
uses with the Council eventually faced with the dilemma, i.e. dust
problems of unimproved roads, future ability to provide services
and assessment of such, fire and police services, etc. In addition,
the Council has not established "estate -type" developments; again,
we are forming the council's policy for not allowing of this type
of development.
Planning Commission's Recommendation
The Planning Commission duly considered Mr. Dunn's sketch plan at
its meeting on November 10, 1976, (In addition, the Commission walked
the property on November 13, 1976). On January 12, 1977, as
Mr. Don Ashworth -3- January l9, �977
shown in Exhibit 4, "A motion was made by Les Bridger and seconded
by Walter Thompson that the Planning Commission recommend through
the comprehensive process the City pursue the inclusion of estate -type
of developments within the corporate limits and that the City through
the comprehensive planning process develop standards and criteria
to judge future estate -type developments. The following voted in
favor: Hud Hollenback, Les Bridger, Walter Thompson, Roman Roos,
and Jerry Neher. Dick Dutcher abstained. Motion carried."
Planner's Recommendation
From a Planning perspective, there may be locations for large lot
estate -types of development. Through the comprehensive planning
process, the Council may want to develop procedures, standards,
etc. for construction of said estate -type of development. Until
these standards are developed by the City, the Dunn proposal cannot
proceed any further.

terms of uses of townhouses and the types of terrain they,
should be on.. The scope of the plan as I see it lends
itself to what we envision in Chanhassen.
Dick Dutcher T agree with the other member''s comments particularly
those of Les. I like the green space that you have
allocated and the sensitivity you have shown to that
land that is there.
Hud Hollenback - I think it's a super start. I think we need something
like this.
SKETCH PLAN - LAKE SUSAN HILLS-- LYMAN BLVD: This 40 acres is located
one-half mile west of Great Plains Blvdo on the.north side of Lyman Blvd.
Mr. Dunn is requesting approval to plat this -into large.estate type lots.
Sewer and water are not available.
The City Planner gave his report. The -property is.zoned R-lA. Trunk
sewer service will be extended to the area after construction of the
Lake Ann Phase II interceptor. The County will be re -aligning County
Road 17 in 1979. This roadway will be adjacent to this property.
Ordinance 45, section 2.01 prohibits the platting and subdivision of
land not served by sewer and water. The city has not established
standards to review development plans in rural areas for which public
services are not available. The City Planner feels there may be.
locations for estate type of developments. -The Council may develop
procedures,standards, etc. for construction of estate -type developments.
Craig Mertz - There is one other avenue that Mr. Dunn has other than
seeking a repeal of Ordinance 45 and that's to seek a
variance under Section 4 of the ordinance which provides
that the City Council may grant.the variance from the
sewering requirements in hardship situations. The Council
on at least one previqus occasion has granted such a
variance, specifically to.the development known as
Hesse Farm.
Dunn - This area, I think from a practical standpoint,..the slopes are
very extreme. The hills are on -the order:-o€-60 to 80 feet
high.. They are.wooded and to it is inconceivable that.
those pieces of ground are going to -be further. --subdivided
in the future. They can be used this way for Ia_single unit,
because of the topography and the trees. Lyman Blvd. will
be upgraded in 1981 and to gain access -to these properties
we would put in a dedicated street as indicated. It is my
feeling that this is an excellent use for this land both
present and for the future.
A motion was made by Les Bridger and seconded by Jerry Neher to table
action on this until another meeting to give members time to review
this and the Hesse Farm development. Motion.unanimously approved.
Members will look at the site on Saturday, November 13, at 10:30 a.m.

would be required, such as a new roof, where you can put a structure

MINUTES: A motion was made by Dick Dutcher and seconded by Jerry Neher
to approve the November 30, 1976, Planning Commission and Council
minutes. The following voted in favor: Hud Hollenback, Roman Roos,
Jerry Neher, and Dick Dutcher. Les Bridger and Walter Thompson abstained.,
Motion carried.
A motion was made by Jerry Neher and seconded by Walter Thompson to
approve the December 8, 1976, Planning Commission minutes and
continuation of.publ.ic hearing minutes. Motion unanimously approved.
DUNN SUBDIVISION - LYMAN BLVD: Ed Dunn and Stelios Aslanidis were
present. The purpose of this discussion is to.give the Council the
Planning Commission's feelings on a proposed subdivision of land on
Lyman Blvd. The City Planner believes that because of City Ordinance
restrictions, Ordinance 45, that it prohibits the platting of land
that is not sewered. He suggested that the Dunn subdivision be denied
and not proceed any further. As a City Planner he does believe that
there may be locations for large lot estate -type developments in the
city in the future. The Council must develop provedures, standards,
etc. for judging estate -type developments if they deem them to be
appropriate land uses. Until these standards are developed he does
not feel there is any option but to place this proposed subdivision
in hold.
A motion was made by Jerry Neher that the Planning Commission put a
hold on this until such time as an amendment is made to Ordinance 45
or that they take the other process to ask for a variance. Motion
died for lack of a second.
A motion was made by Les Bridger and seconded by Walter Thompson that the
Planning Commission recommends through the comprehensive planning process
the City pursue inclusion of.estate-type of developments within its
corporate limits and that the city through the comprehensive planning
process development standards and criteria to judge future estate -
type developments. The following voted in favor: Hud Hollenback,
Les Bridger, Walter Thompson, Roman Roos, and Jerry'Neher. Dick
Dutcher abstained. Motion carried.
ECOLOGICAL COMMITTEE: Dick Dutcher reported that the questionnaire
will be included in the next City News Letter.
A motion was made by Jerry Neher and seconded by Walter Thompson to
note the Ecological Committee minutes of December 9, 1976, and City
Council minutes of December 13, December 20, 1976, and January 3, 1977.
Motion unanimously approved.
Members thanked Hud for Chairing the Planning Commission for the past
year.
A motion was made by Roman Roos and seconded by Les Bridger to adjourn.
Motion unanimously approved._ Meeting adjourned at 10:30 p.m.

PLANNING REPORT
DATE: November 8, 1976
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Bruce Pankonin, City Planner
SUBJ: Subdivision of Land on Lyman Blvd.
APPLICANT: Ed Dunn
PLANNING CASE: P-295
PPTTTTnM
To subdivide the subject property (40+ acres) into ten (10) residential
building sites and one (1) outlot.
BACKGROUND
1. Community Location: As shown in enclosure 2, and more specifically
defined in enclosure 3, the subject property contains 40+ acres of
land located ? mile west of STH 101 on the north side of Lyman Blvd.
2. Existing Zoning: As shown in enclosure 2, the subject property
is zoned R-lA, Residential -Agricultural.
3. Municipal Sanitary sewer and water service is not available
to the subject property. Truck sanitary sewer service will be extended
to the area sometime in the future after construction of the Lake Ann
Interceptor Phase II. The timing, staging, cost and location of this
truck sewer service is unknown at this time, however, it is safe to
say, trunk service will not be available until after 1980.
4. City Plan Proposals:
a. Land Use: Upon the construction of truck sewer service to the
subject property, the land in question and adjacent parcels is to
assume a low density residential identity.
b. Transportation: The county will be realigning County Road
17 in 1979. This roadway will be adjacent to the subject property's
east property line. Lyman Blvd. which forms the subject property's
southern border, will be upgraded to county standards in 1981.
5. Physiography of the Subject Property: As shown in enclosure 3,
the subject property contains steep slopes, scattered trees and
lowland area. The subject property drains east and the water is picked
up by an ekis.ting ditch and eventually winds up in Lake Susan.
Planning Commission

PLANNER'S COM14ENTS
1. City Ordinance 45, Section 2.01 prohibits the platting and subdivision
of land within the city not served by sanitary sewer and water.
Because of ordinance restriction, the Dunn proposal cannot proceed
on further unless the City Council repeals Ordinance 45 and creates
more liberal land use restrictions for unsewered land.
At this time, neither the planning commission nor the city council
have established standards to review development plans in a rural
area for which public services are not immediately available or imminent.
Instead, the council has adopted a sound planning philosophy of not
allowing developments to occur in areas where public services are not
present, i.e. "The Council of the City of Chanhassen determines
that in areas of the city not served by public sanitary sewer there are
serious problems of water pollution and disposal of sewage which cannot
effectively or economically be dealt with in the development of small
tracts or plots of land; that private individual sewage disposal systems
have proved unsafe and unreliable in many instances with the consequence
that there has been contamination of underground water supplies,
pollution of lakes and streams, and the surfacing of sewage effluent
to the serious detriment of public health, welfare and safety.
This policy of prohibiting subdivision of land in the unsewered
area will also assure that orderly growth will occur within the community
and that the city will not be faced with issues of rural versus urban
conflicts. The rural setting is often desired for residential
purposes, but such inevitably leads to conflicts between uses with the
council eventually faced with the dilemma, i.e. dust problems of
unimproved roads, future ability to provide services and ad.sessments
of such, fire and police services, etc. In addition, the council has
not established "estate -type" developments; again, reaffirming the
council policy for not allowing of this type of development.
2. From a planning perspective, there may be locations for large lot estate
types of developments. Through the comprehensive planning process,
the council may develop procedures, standards., etc,for construction
of said estate type of development. Until these standards are developed
by the city, the Dunn proposal should be placed in hold.

PLANNING REPORT
DATE: January 9, 1977
TO: Planning Commission, Staff and Ed Dunn
FROM: Bruce Pankonin, City Planner
SUBJ: Subdivision of Land on Lyman Blvd.
APPLICANT: Ed Dunn
PLANNING CASE: P-295
Peti.i-i nn
To subdivide 40+ acres into 10 residential building sites and one
outlot.
Background
The Planning Commission duly considered Mr. Dunn's sketch plan
at its meeting on November 10, 1976. At that meeting a motion was
made by Les Bridger and seconded by Jerry Neher to table any action
on this request until another meeting to give members of the commission
time to review this petition and the Hesse Farm development.
Members of the commission toured the Dunn site on Saturday, November
13th at 10:30 a.m.
Planner's Recommendation
Because City ordinance 45, Section 2.01 prohibits the platting and
subdivision of land within the City not served by sanitary sewer and
water I respectfully the Dunn Subdivision be denied. However, I
do believe, there may be locations for large lot estate -types of
development. Through the Comprehensive Planning process, the Council
may develop procedures, standards, etc. for construction of said
estate types of developments. Until these standards are developed
by the City, the Dunn proposal will have to be placed in hold.
